Avenging Architects: The Horror Movie

Shut your doors, hide under your beds, from the housebound horror of Avenging Architects!

Disgusted by continually seeing historic homes being demolished and replaced by McMansions, a consortium of the finest architects in Los Angeles has had enough, so they sell their souls to the devil for arcane black magic knowledge to get revenge against anyone who would so desecrate their designs and bulldoze their buildings. (Adding on an addition that doesn’t really work with the house’s predetermined architectural style is punishable only by a short bout with diarrhea or some skin burns or something: their real revenge is saved for those who would commit architectural atrocity!)

Building black magic spells into the foundations of the houses they design and build (Yes, I stole that from Game of Thrones, when Benjen Stark said the ice Wall has magic spells carved into its foundations.), anyone who bulldozes and replaces the homes is cursed, with anyone associated with replacing the houses with McMansions being doubly cursed. And then anyone who lives in the houses afterwards is cursed as well. And the only way to break the curse is to tear down the offending home and replace it with the original design. And when the original design is put back, the black magic curses write themselves into the foundations automatically, amazing the guys who lay the foundation and mix the cement.

(Historic homes being replaced with vulgar McMansions is one of L.A.’s top eyesore and historical issues. So I think it deserves a horror film to warn people against the practice. Don’t you think so?)
