CREEPS

FEATURE FILM – DRAMEDY 

Proof of Concept

AFI Cycle Film, May 2023

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

This is Richard Poncher, a totally regular guy who is buried upside down. 

WHY, YOU ASK?

Because his crypt is on top of Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. 

Poncher insisted that he be buried upside-down to "sleep with" Marilyn for all eternity.

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

Okay, he's a little more familiar. That's Hugh Hefner, of Playboy fame. He's buried to Marilyn's left.

But did you know that, for the first-ever issue of Playboy magazine, Hefner printed a nude of Marilyn centerfold without her consent? 

Though it was a huge hit, Hefner didn't pay Marilyn a penny for her image. 

Now he also sleeps with Marilyn for all eternity too.

There they are, one big sick family. Plus Poncher's wife, Elsie, who he threatened to haunt if she didn't fulfil his burial wishes.

NOW IMAGINE WE BREAK HER OUT OF THERE.

CREEPS follows Juli, an internet-obsessed E-girl who learns of Marilyn's posthumous circumstances from Tiktok and decides to rescue Marilyn from her crypt.

The only problem? Her girlfriend, Bea, a chronic rule-follower who's always trying to control her.
