GHOST FINDER
By Eric Ian Steele

GENRE: Action, Fantasy, Horror
LOGLINE: A remorseless ghost hunter prowls the Arizona highways, armed to the teeth with paranormal devices. He must battle an army of evil spirits controlled by his own sister, who has been possessed by the Manitou -- a Native American demon intent on bringing about Hell on Earth.

Hi Eric - caught your post in regard to loglines, a great way to test a concept. This one doesn't work for me. Prowling the highways, is just an image that seems dull, or doesn't evoke the correct context of what a ghost hunter does, or where they do it. Also, does it HAVE to be his sister? The sibling link doesn't offer much opportunity for conflict or love interest. If you need any proof, just watch Hansel and Gretel !. . . Would the irony not be stronger if it were his, girlfriend, fiance, missing wife that he is looking for? Just my thoughts - Eoin

That's great feedback, thanks. Your logline for "Chasers" seems pretty cool. Let me know if you would like any feedback.

Again, same as above re... "A remorseless ghost hunter..." and "paranormal devices." Good luck!

Hey Eric, I like this logline the best, but it could be tighter. A remorseless ghost hunter prowls the highways as he battles an army of evil spirits controlled by his sister, who has been possessed by the Manitou -- a Native American demon intent on bringing about Hell on Earth. I think you don't need "armed to the teeth" & " paranormal devices" when you just stated he was a hunter. I also agree with Eoin, it would be more interesting if it was his girlfriend and not his sister. Good luck!
