What is MIDNIGHT SPRINGS?
The pitch...
MIDNIGHT SPRINGS asks what if there had been a Universal Monsters Phase 2, similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Where would it have gone?
To America!
Land of the Salem witches, Wendigos, Cthulhu and Headless Horsemen.
The plot...
Victor Frankenstein is a surgeon, a scientist, and a loner. When under duress, Victor copes by breaking down problems into imagined science experiments. His current problem:
Directions:
1. Place 1 failed scientist in a Colorado jail cell after being arrested for graverobbing.
2. In 1 8x10 jail cell, combine the brilliant, but misunderstood scientist with a cellmate who is 1-part caddy actor, 1-part self-diagnosed werewolf.
3. Stir vigorously.
Result: A disastrous jailbreak where monsters collide, forcing the scientist and actor to flee, staying one step ahead of a dark bounty hunter.
Victor’s tidy, rational world is further turned upside down when he discovers the missing ingredient to raising the dead is not scientific. It’s supernatural. To survive the American West and resurrect his career, Victor must journey to the secret town of Midnight Springs. There, a lewd, cackling witch will transform Victor into a creature devoid of logic, morality, and proper etiquette: an American gunslinger.
