you can see houses in different shows and props and stuff.
heck, look what Star Trek did in the days, they needed a prop,
so they raided the lunchroom. thats how they got the phasors,
someone took the salt and pepper shakers from the lunchroom,
the rest is history.

Zazu wrote:Yes. Ideally, each unique species should have a specific way to kill each other species.

Unless there are only two species (or one) in which case you should try for variety.

But yes, two strangulations does sound to me like you have been inadequately creative.

For instance, is there any chance these are giant *electric* penguins who could electrocute their prey? It would solve the problem of them not having fingers. Plus the effect needed is simple: just switch quickly back and forth between positive and negative images.

Noctourne's Script wrote:Antarctica, some time in the 50s- Spys from the Soviet Union have set up a base to do atomic testing on the penguins. Right when it seems like they've succeeded, another spy comes running in to tell Dr. Boris and Dr. Natasha that the penguins have secaped and are terrorizing the base! Suddenly, a penguin bursts in and (because Zazu's idea is awsome) cut off the power to the room, electrocuting everyone. Meanwhile, aliens are above in their flying saucer. It is revealed that they have followed the nuclear activity and are now using the penguins as puppets to take over the world! UFOs are seen everywhere, and the president orders the army to shoot. Later, a girl and her friends are having a sleepover. Two girls go downstairs to get more food, but are shot by a penguin with a laser gun! The next day, Annie goes to her friend Charlie Jones's house to tell him what happened. They go to Charlie's father, Dr. Jones, to see if he can tell them what is going on (he's a scientist after all). He tells them about the Soviets, and the three friendly Americans go to the UFO where the aliens are hiding. The aliens rant about the dangers of nukes, and finally Charlie yanks a cord that blows up the spaceship. Everything seems back to normal, but as Annie and her friend from the sleepover hug, a penguin appears behing them with a big "?" superimposed over the screen.

It's meant to be intentionally bad, so creativity is not to big of an issue, but I do like the electrocution effect, thnak you! It's actuall quite amazing how much strangulation there is in some of those B-movies. I'm using clips and dialouge from "Plan 9" (It's public domain!) and "Robot Monster", but there are other homages throughout. The president has a speech in which I have snuck in the titles of various films...teeheehee!

The Plot, in a nutshell-

So if any big Hollywood (or is it Burbank) producers are hiding out there, make my movie and give me credit! Before and after my film there will be some trailers, and then my friend is directing a 70s grindhouse-style zombie movie. If anyone has makeup tips, they're greatly appreciated!
