Final Major Project - Bible Death Research

Whilst writing my treatments, I needed to find some interesting ways that Edward and Evelyn could murder people. Wanting to keep some form of religious aspect, I found some of the most gruesome Bible deaths I could find, and I either combined or modernised them. Whilst it may have been fun to write these deaths in a script format, I had just as much fun writing them out as treatments.

One death I found, was about a couple being buried alive, this happens in the Old Testament. Thus, I gave Edward and Evelyn a murder in which they bury a couple alive for "sending their son to hell".

Possibly my favourite death I wrote about in the treatments was the combination of two from The Old Testament. The first was about King Eglon - a mad king who suppressed Israel during the time of the Judges. Because of his treachery, he was approached by one of the Judges, Ehud, who promptly said to him "I have a message from God for you" and proceeded to stab him in the stomach - ultimately killing him.

The next one I found was the Third Son of King David, Absolom. After betraying his father, war ensued, and during this war, Absolom was completely routed from his supporters. As he was being chased down, he got his long flowing hair caught in the branches of a tree. Unable to escape, he was found by his pursuers, who executed him by stabbing him multiple times with pikes, leaving his corpse hanging in the tree he was caught in.

I took these two deaths, and combined them. There is a point when the twins are chasing down a Police Officer. Whilst she runs away from them, in the forest, she gets her hair caught in a tree, thus getting stuck there. Upon finding her stuck, Edward quotes Ehud's line "I have a message from God for you" and he plunges a knife into the Officer's stomach. This is then followed by him and his sister mercilessly stabbing her multiple times, leaving her corpse in the tree for the police to find.

I had great fun researching all of this and it really aided me in thinking of creative and interesting new ways to murder someone (within my script of course!), and keeping it Bibular, I stuck to the religious themes of my story overall.
