Kantepe

I guess I ought to explain why this place got it's name as "Blood Mountain."

The place is called Kartepe, which translates as "Snow Mountain." It was a quaint little resort that is probably pretty nice in the winter. However, in the summer, it takes on a more imposing appearance.

Just about every evening, and some days, the place was shrouded in a thick fog. It's up on top of a hill (obviously) and the wind would whip through, making it slightly chilly, even in the heat of summer. And with it, it would bring this thick fog that would turn the quaint ski resort into something that looks like it should be featured in some sort of horror movie.

And that's when it hit me. With a slight play on words, a small budget, and a good imagination, we could really make an awesome horror movie up here! Turn Kartepe into Kantepe, which means "Blood Mountain," and you have the perfect name and location for a good horror film. The fog set it off perfectly. Plus, we had a perfect assortment of characters that are fit perfectly for the different stereotypical horror movie roles.

First we had BC, the Mexican, who fills the role of "minority who will be killed first." We had a couple of candidates for "computer nerd who gets whacked playing video games." Adem and Peterman, that'd be you, sorry. Then we have the loving, good looking, morally upright, suave, and debonair star, me. For some reason, there were a lot of people putting in for the role of mass murderer. Apparently there is some pent up rage among a lot of my friends. Watch what you say to ex-pats in Turkey.

Of course, like in all good horror films the mass murderer finds creative ways to take out the entire cast, save for the stunning lead character and his beautiful and faithful costar. Unfortunately, interest in the stunning costar role was extremely limited. So, due to budget restraints (we had none), time restraints (had none of that either), script problems (didn't have one of those either), and the lack of a full cast (one more thing we didn't have), the filming never got off the ground. I still think it would've been a hit and brought back the slasher genre from it's long hiatus. We'll never know.
