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.

INT. SUBURBAN BEDROOM – NIGHT: A white teenage girl bolts upright in bed. Sweat pours down her face. Her eyes bug out of their sockets.  Her boyfriend is in bed next to her. He puts a hand on her arm.

BOYFRIEND: What is it?
GIRL: I had a dream.

BLACKNESS.  MUSIC STING.

TITLE: He Shall Overcome: January.
