I'm somewhat tempted to make an RTD based around random dreams selected from here. Anybody interested?
Heh, really random? One moment you'd be simply running late for work or school, the next you'd be part of a bloodthirsty caravan of serial-killing orphan children.
Speaking of... yeah, that's a pretty good summary of my dream.
The part I more-or-less remember began with my brother recommending some films for us to watch with this acclaimed old(?) actor he wanted to introduce me to the works of. It happened that at least the first two on the list were terrifying/brilliant gruesome horror movies.
I can't really remember the plots or details of these movies, but the actor was this older guy who... looked kinda like Doctor Jacoby from Twin Peaks without the wacky dress sense, come to think of it. Maybe with more of a beard and less curly hair, both salt-and-pepper in colouration if I remember rightly. And perhaps a dash of Jeremy Irons thrown in.
Anyway, the plot of one or both of the main movies I remember involved him using some disguise (a doctor, or some other kind of generally trusted, wise sort of person) to position himself to kill a bunch of people. Can't remember any more of the details, but he was pretty dang good at what he did. Not sure if he wound up being caught/killed or what, which would probably be kind of relevant to the next part of the dream.
There was a sequel to the first (two?) movie(s) which followed several kids who had been orphaned by the killer as they struggled to come to terms with what had befallen them. They wound up becoming serial killers themselves eventually, travelling across the US in a series of stolen vehicles, wreaking havoc and murder as a group.
Pretty sure the rest of the dream followed them. The original killer might have been involved somehow, I'm not sure.
Last part I remember was them invading a house in some town, one of them killing some sort of maid by smashing a glass over their head and then following up with a knife, before they gathered the rest of the place's inhabitants and... apparently made small talk whilst robbing and preparing to kill them.
Seemed like their victims to-be were somehow forgiving of the whole situation because most of their assailants were cute kids. Or maybe they didn't realise they were about to be killed by the bloodthirsty little shits, who knows.
The above dream was actually from several nights ago, I just stopped writing it partway through the second-last paragraph and only now got around to finishing it because I need to close this tab. >.> Was a pretty exciting dream. Think I've had a few interesting dreams since, but I can't remember 'em now.
