Killer
Mermaid
by
Edward Abramson &
Michael Karp
Logline: When a marine
biology student falls for a deceased 1960s Beach
movie starlet who’s been resurrected as a
Killer-Mermaid in a Voodoo ceremony gone wrong, he
must face his fear of water and risk almost
certain death to confront the Killer-Mermaid he
loves.
Comp: There’s
Something About Mary, but with horror
touches. A horror comedy!
Synopsis: Marine biology student NICK
BIGMAN has a problem. He comes from a long line of
surfers; his father was an amateur surfer, his
grandfather ROD BIGMAN a surf champion who
appeared in 1960s beach movies like Beach Blanket
Bingo. Unfortunately, Nick suffers from hydrophobia,
an anxiety disorder that plagues many people who
suffer from this extreme fear of the water. Nick
can’t enter any body of water without immediately
going into a panic attack. And not only is Nick
afraid of the water, he
is also afraid of women.
Killer Mermaid revolves around the ghost of ‘60s
beach movie starlet, KAREN SLATER. When Karen’s
controlling Hollywood agent, DON BULASKY finds out
about her love affair with her BEACH BONGO
co-star, ROD BIGMAN, (Nick’s grandfather) her
agent drowns her in a jealous rage. Overcome with
grief DON seeks out the help of a local Jamaican
witch doctor to bring his favorite beach movie
starlet back to life.
There’s only one problem. While what comes back
resembles the beautiful Karen Slater, in voodoo
mythology if a person dies a violent death, their
soul returns evil incarnate. In Karen’s case,
she’s become a flesh eating
astral zombie residing in the pool of her old abandoned Malibu Beach
house. Every spring Karen needs to feed on twelve
poor souls, so she can exist on this earthly plane
for another year. And because she’s an astral
zombie, Karen can materialize anywhere in the
house or pool area where there’s water!
With the help of her keeper, Hollywood agent Don
Bulasky, Karen lures a pair of surfer Nazi college
kids, who of course decide to throw a huge Spring
break pool party at her Malibu beach house! Being Spring, it’s feeding
time again! Nick would love to save his friends
from getting eaten in the pool, but he is afraid
of the water.

 The creature is a sexy femme
fatale who lures both men and women into the pool.
She appears as a sexy vixen at first, who then
morphs into an Alien like
creature with razor sharp piranha teeth.
As the party-goers are
knocked off one by one, Nick and his fun loving dorm buddy DARYL
don’t realize what’s going on – they’re too
preoccupied with getting laid! Nick and Daryl have
their eyes on cute girls ALEX & CINDY. But
when the girls fall prey to Karen as they wade in
the pool, Nick is forced to confront both his
hydrophobia and this flesh eating creature who was
once Karen Slater, the sexy ‘60s beach movie
starlet Nick’s idolized for years.
As Nick and friends are about to find out in
Killer Mermaid, it’s time to be afraid of the
water…again!
