My idea for my final project stems from my love of such shows and films as Dexter, Breaking Bad, American Psycho and Sexy Beast. All of them have some form of Serial Killer/Psychopath in them and I thought it could be interesting to write about one myself.
However, I have opted for a different approach. Rather than focusing on one killer, I thought it would be fun to focus on two - a brother and sister, twins.
The basic idea is that two siblings, who at a young age, commit Matricide and Patricide and are sent to separate Mental Institutions. They then, after 18 years apart, reunite and end up becoming a Religious Fanatical Serial Killer team. Led by the brother, Edward, who knows just how to manipulate his sister, Evelyn, the story follows their trials and tribulations, as they murder anyone who they believe has sinned against God, or who doesn't fit into their overall plan. They are also notoriously good at covering their tracks, with the help of their family butler, Roland.
Through troubles with the police and anyone who may find out about what they plan to do, the three do what they can to make sure they follow God's plan (their idea of it anyway) so they can send those who are against them to hell, and ultimately end up in the kingdom of heaven.
In order to do this, I have bought a Bible in hopes it will help me with coming up with episode titles - each of which I want to be a verse, or part of a verse, from the Bible. It has also been helping me with quotations, as Edward, the main character, is very religious and often quotes the Bible in relevant situations.
I have also started doing research on psychopaths, and have ordered a few books in order to help me accomplish this, so I can have a better understanding of what makes them tick, so I can write them better.
The working title so far is 'The Book of Tamlock' - reminiscent of the gospel and books in the bible, Tamlock being associated as the twins last name.
