Movie pitch
Blackness. Insistent, eerie thrumming.
ANNOUNCER: In the tradition of HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13th, and APRIL FOOL’S DAY —
Titles appear, in their classic logos, as announcer continues —
ANNOUNCER: — comes the most terrifying holiday-related horror movie yet.
Thrum builds to a climax and then thunders to a halt. Dead silence.
TITLE, IN RED: DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY.
GRAPHIC: Letters drip as though covered in blood.
Music comes crashing in: thunderous, terrifying.
ANNOUNCER: The day HE came back.

GIRL: I had a dream.
BLACKNESS. MUSIC STING.
TITLE: He Shall Overcome: January.

Very funny!
Don’t forget Black Christmas!
And Silent Night, Deadly Night.
Groundhog Day? No, wait…
The St Valentine’s Day Massacre doesn’t appear to live up to the promising name either – no cupid-themed psycho archer, no chocolate-box bombs!
Independance Day however does have aliens.
Well, there was My Bloody Valentine, and then, less famously, Valentine.
And THANKSGIVING.
Who could forget Thanksgiving?
‘He Shall Overcome’ pretty much made me shit a brick. This is my new favorite thing in the entire world.
Oh. My.
free at last… free at last…
