ELEVATOR PITCH: A techbro with an AI startup buys rights to dead horror stars, plans a blockbuster movie starring Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, and Peter Cushing, scripted & directed by an AI simulation of Ed Wood. (Grimes will star as leading lady, obvs.)

The AI horror star simulations are offended and instead of joining SAG-AFTRA they take over the 3D printed android bodies of their characters in the movie and go on a murderous rampage at the Techbro's fundraiser gala.
