Question: Help with a mystery plot idea!?
For my English class we have to make a mystery/horror movie, my group is stuck on ideas and could use some help!? All we have so far is: A girl moves into a new house with her family and discovers a secret room in the house, she looks around and bumps into the wall, the wall moves a little so she pushes on it and discovers there is more to the room, inside the secret space she discovers a diary!.

So we need something to go in the diary that we could make into a mystery!. The project has to be 10 min!. long so it cant be to simple!.

Thanks :)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The diary should have been written by someone who is dead, of course, but you might try having the diarist describe his or her own murder which seemed to have occurred in the room where the diary was located!. There could be blood stains on the walls and hard wood floors indicating that some violence had definitely occurred there!. The girl could discover in the local newspaper's archives items relating to the suspicious disappearance of the diarist who was apparently never seen again!. Since the room is secret, difficult to locate, you might have the girl who found it and the diary hear or see indications of the diarist's ghost within that room!. You could finish the story in some bizarre way: the diarist's ghost reveals the murderer who was not identified in the diary, and who is someone shocking!. There are several possibilities for the ending, but it should be a surprise to the readers! I hope that the preceding is helpful!. Good luck! Www@QuestionHome@Com
