There is a new movie coming out called "The Midnight Meat Train" - which, I don't know if you've read any Clive Barker, but it's supposedly based off his short story with roughly the same name. I just think that movie title is spectacular, considering there are numerous sexually explicit innuendo you could create using that title. Once the movie hits DVD, you would be able to say I have The Midnight Meat Train in my mouth, if you put the DVD cover...in your mouth! Other instances, you could tell a girl - "Now that you've seen The Midnight Meat Train the movie, would you like to see MY Midnight Meat Train...the dick?!"
Yes, we can all have a ball when talking about midnight meat trains, but one serious matter - know when it's appropriate. Strangers do not want to see your midnight meat train, in fact, you might receive a knee in yours if you're not careful. Sexual harassment is a VERY serious matter. As far as plot goes, I would say a meat train is NOT a train full, or made-up of steaks, bräts, tenderloins, cutlets...I WOULD say a meat train is a train of slaughter and mutilation of it's passengers. Think the movie Saw on a subway. Yep.
So, a bloody-thriller about a massacre-train that kills people, and not a killing locomotive; great! Way da go, Hollywood! The Midnight Meat Train is squirting blood - you should probably have a doctor look at that...though a killer locomotive might be interesting.
Have dialog in it like, "As long as we stay off the tracks, we stay alive!"
"Don't you tell me you're going to give up, and let a train run over you!"
Mexican-character: "That's one crazy, fucked-up train (cue "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne) no wonder they call these loco - motives!"
IF you pick this one up, Sci-fi Channel, I demand royalties! No one goes off the rails with my killer-train idea! No one.
How about some more dialog-ideas!
Person one: "How do you stop a killer-train?"
Person two: "...lots and lots of explosives?!"
Person three: "If only we could go back in time, we could be in 1877 during the Great Railroad Strike. All railways were shutdown because of the strike - though - we'd only have 45 days of rest from this demonic locomotive, because the strike was put down by local and state militias, as well as by federal troops 45 days later...in 1877."
A COUPLE IS MAKING OUT IN THEIR CAR, PARKED ON AN ABANDONED STRIP OF RAILROAD TRACKS.
Girl: "Johnny, are you sure we're safe parking in the middle of a railroad crossing?!"
Johnny: "This strip of track isn't used anymore - there's a tiny Christmas-pine growing in the middle of the tracks. That little pine would be crushed if a train were passing through here. It's fine, Cheryl!"
Cheryl: "Okay...I guess I'm paranoid..."
COUPLE STARTS MAKING OUT AGAIN. SUDDENLY, OFF IN THE DISTANCE, WE HEAR A TRAIN WHISTLE.
Cheryl: "No, Johnny, wait! I swear I heard a...train-whistle..."
Johnny: "Would you quit worrying about that, and make out with me?!?? It was probably someone just fooling around..." (THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE)
WE HEAR THE WHISTLE AGAIN, ONLY LOADER.
Cheryl: "You heard it that time, didn't you?"
Johnny: "You mean, the TRAIN-WHISTLE! (TRYING TO SCARE CHERYL) Come on! If I didn't know any better, I'd say that YOU were afraid of trains!"
Cheryl: "Stop it, Johnny! You know as well as I do that my family was involved with that freak train accident fifteen years ago where a runaway train jumped the tracks because kids were putting quarters on the tracks, trying to flatten them, and that train barrelled into the gazebo my family rented for our family reunion....I saw them die, Johnny...luckily for me, I had to go get more ice or I WOULD'VE DIED!!!"
Johnny: "They say that train was a mad-train - forged in the fires of hell! The devil himself drove that train...I've read the news-reels, Cheryl...there wasn't supposed to be a train arriving in to the depot at 11:30, the time that train jumped the tracks and smashed your whole family...no train was supposed to come in to depot. My father worked the lines - NO TRAIN WAS SUPPOSED TO COME IN TO DEPOT..."
TRAIN-WHISTLE IS LOUDER, AND THIS TIME, A FAINT LIGHT CAN BE SEEN DOWN THE TRAIN-TRACKS.
Johnny: "Shit! A train is coming! What should we do?!"
Cheryl: "I thought you said there wouldn't be a train!"
Johnny: "Oh no! The car won't start!" ---and so on.
I'm done rambling for now. Have you enjoyed my insight?
