Movie Concept

The Terracons are a real life adaptation of trading card monsters that bring destruction to humanity and its fragile world!

The story begins in Black Eagle Heart’s Comic book store in Spring Town U.S.A. A mysterious box appears in the comic book store full of creepy monster trading cards of all sizes. Black Eagle Heart admires the trading cards with their unique artwork and decides to shelve them despite their unknown origin.

While this is happening, Fredrick Todd Beckly, is hanging out with his dysfunctional family at a dinner party. Fredrick is a family and social outcast, who collects action figures, comics, trading cards and other nerdy things. Fredrick is constantly picked on by school bullies and has a love fascination with Sophia Becca, the beautiful class genius.

Fredrick becomes annoyed and anxious about the family dinner party. He is ignored by his parents and is bored by their friends. He decides to bail on the party and leaves out the back door without anyone noticing. He decides to meet his few friends at Black Eagle Heart’s comic book store. His friends are Blunt Gilbert, Dane Michael, Thomas Cartmen, and Billy Billfert. These are equally awkward individuals who spend their time eating at fastfood restaurants, reading comic books, playing video games, and shopping for nerdy things. Fredrick wondered around the store and discovered the new Terracon cards. He inquired Black Eagle Heart about the cards. Eagle Heart responded with a puzzling answer. Still interested in the cards Fredrick bought them. Suddenly one of Fredrick’s many bullies, Hank Helbird, suddenly appears outside the store’s window. Hank knows that Fredrick hangs out around the store. Hank enters the store and harasses the friends. Hank steals Fredrick’s new cards and leaves the store. Fredrick uses what money he has left and buys a few more cards. Upset and distraught about Hank, Fredrick says his good byes to his friends and heads home.

The next day at school while in study hall, he begins to talk with Sophia. Sophia is a genuinely nice person who appears to care about Fredrick. He relays the night’s previous events, the dinner party, the new Terracon cards, and his run in with Hank at the comic book store. Sophia listens patiently and intently. Hank rudely interrupts the conversation and threatens Fredrick’s cards with destruction. Fredrick cannot stop thinking about the cards being destroyed. He eventually accepts their fate thinking there are more cards he could buy.

Hank returns home after school and looks for the cards. He discovers something stranger with the cards; the cards are gleaming with a bizarre light and the monsters have disappeared. The pictures were all gone. He decides to just throw them away but when he throws them in the trash can he hears sounds coming from somewhere in his room. It’s the indistinguishable sound of screeching laughter. The laughter subsides into hissing. Hank seeks out the hissing under his bed but when he lifts the covers something grabs his neck and violently pulls him under the bed. All that can be heard a faint scream than silence.

The next day Fredrick saw police department at Hank’s home when attempting to retrieve the cards. They were trying to figure out what happened to Hank. There were no signs of a struggle, no evidence of anyone being there, and no body. Fredrick sneaks into the house and looks for the cards. He finds the blank cards in the trashcan. He hears little footsteps enter the room but doesn’t see anything. He looks around the room and then notices something on the window. It was small, green and had devilish yellow cone shaped eyes. Its skin was similar to human skin but had a green tint to it. When it opened it’s mouth it’s fangs looked menacing. He recognizes it as one of the monsters from the cards. Scared he runs away, through the police and by the mother, straight home.

When he gets home he looks for the rest of his cards. They were also blank. Confused, he cannot reason why the monsters left the cards, let alone how. He heard a noise coming from the kitchen. Worried he peeks around the door and sees the monsters eating from the fridge in a comical manner. With their hunger content for now, the monsters left the house. Fredrick watches the monsters break into the neighbor’s house and turn on the stereo and the television. The monsters were breaking windows, vases, furniture, and causing all kinds of destruction. The neighbor’s bedroom lights light up and Fredrick watches as the neighbor runs downstairs to the scene. Frightened, the neighbors scream and run out of the house to their car. The car screeches off into the darkness. Fredrick reasons that for whatever reason Terracon monsters have come to life to cause destruction. Show scenes of other households of the people who bought the cards. The destruction is similar to the one Fredrick witnessed.
