The Nightmare House aka WTF?

I was going through my old script files looking for a short film I wrote a few years ago and came across a file called The Nightmare House. It's a synopsis for a short film and I think my brain took acid without me knowing about it because it sounds kinda messed up.

Tagline: You may leave now or stay for the night. Choose carefully.

Premise: A weird combination of Beauty and the Beast, The Bachelor, Blue Beard, and frame plot bits of Arabian Nights with a dash of Hunchback of Notre Dame and Cinderella thrown in.

Seriously? That's a messed up combination of stories right there.

It's actually a very interesting idea, but I labeled it wrong because it should be in the Book Ideas folder and not in the Potential SFF Projects folder. It would work as a gothic romance, but so not as a movie.
