i have the best idea for a Christmas movie. it will involve Santa clause being kidnapped by his ancient Nemesis, the Krampus, who i intend to bring back into mainstream Christmas continuity.
In this movie, Santa and krampus were a dualistic deity, and thus their power is tied. As mythical beings, like all gods and creatures, their power is derived from people's belief in them. I am somewhat borrowing this idea from Neil Gaiman's "American Gods." many years ago, Santa found a way to separate himself from krampus and imprison him in hell. while Santa has grown exponentially more powerful in recent times, so has krampus, who is now strong enough to escape hell and kidnapp Santa. his intention is to make Santa miss Christmas. when this happens Santa's power will wain, but the krampus will remain unaffected thanks to his new magic (courtesy of an unseen villain I'll leave for the sequel.)
I'll need to think up a group of human protagonists to follow as they figure this out and attempt to save Christmas.
this may be able to link to a related idea of many restaurant and food mascots living in a shared continuity universe.
that idea sprung from some friends and i trying to figure out what the hell "the grimace" was. we determined that he was a ally and friend of Ronald McDonald, who was sent to spy on the burger king and report his evil plans. he was captured and injected with a huge dosage of the kings "secret sauce" which mutated him into a big dumb purple monster. Ronald rescued him and made it his mission to one day cure his old friend.
The character rights will be hell to get but maybe i can produce it as an indipendent or internet comic.
