Idea 5

Genre: Horror
Title: The old shack

There is this one house above the town of Ilkley that nobody ever goes near. This is because anybody that has gone has never come back. Nobody ever comes out the house or goes in, there is never any lights on, never any sign of life. However, the energy company that services the house with power claims that huge amounts get used every month. Yet nobody is paying the bills. They have now got to the stage where the council and police are involved. However the police of Ilkley are very aware of the history of this house and do not want anything to do with it. The council worker assigned to the task things its all complete rubbish and completely made up. Once day he decides he will go up and solve the problem once and for all. When he arrives everything seems clear, he puts on his MP3 player and gets going with the work of cutting off all energy supplies to the house (water, electricity etc.) As soon as the power is cut off though. Thats when strange things start to happen....noises come from below ground and before he knows it and old man comes up through the door in the ground. With a blood stained axe he traps the man, ties him up and then drags him away into the bushes. Sound effects play as the credits role....we never find out what really happens at the place.
