Development Pitch
When an already mentally unstable man with a jaded past lies his way onto a pay cable reality show to escape the demon that haunts his dreams, he is pushed beyond the point of no return by his fellow roommates leading to a live feed mass execution that keeps the horrified, yet morbidly intrigued viewers glued to their seats. Filled with dark humor, sex, and depraved violence this story will captivate horror fans as well as reality tv fans even if it is more of a warning to those that watch other's lives instead of living their own. I believe it could make a great movie or mini-series. Potential for sequel since my novel ends with Noll murdering the host who interviewed him and escaping.
