Idea • Shy, introverted girl called Piper • Moves into a university that she had just bought • Becomes possessed by spirits that reside there • Changes forever • Title – Pied Piper; Once she has killed her victims then she leaves an image of a flute which signifies her inner loneliness and how abandoned Piper feels as she has never really had anybody to turn to.

- 6. Inspirations Carrie • This is the girl who my character (Piper) would be based on. • She is a shy, introverted girl who likes to keep to herself. • She has minimal friends and likes to walk home alone.
- 7. Inspirations Criminal Minds • It gave me the insight into the specific horror in which I’ve chosen to do. • The idea that the character in my film would be trying to solve their own crime. • It also allows me to explore the various types of horrors which people could potentially face in reality (ribs being taken out).
- 8. Inspirations Twilight • This is also based on the girl in my film (Piper) who turns into a werewolf. • She is bitten by a parasite in a psychiatric ward. • Turns into a different person which changes her life forever.
