THE LANTERN MAN
By Patrick "PK" Koepke
A grieving father and daughter enter the haunted fens to scatter a loved one’s ashes, only to find the local legend of the Lantern Man may be more than just a story.
SYNOPSIS:
After losing his beloved wife, Callum Owen and his teenage daughter Evie travel to her rural hometown on the edge of Harrow Fen to fulfill her final wish: have her ashes scattered. But the locals speak in hushed tones about the Lantern Man, a spirit said to appear in the fog to lure the lonely and lost. When father and daughter are separated in the fen, each hears the voice of the woman they miss most. and are drawn toward a swaying green lantern in the trees. What they find isn’t just horror, but heartbreak, healing, and a final goodbye.

I can see this being a hit Horror movie, Patrick "PK" Koepke. I think the second part of your logline is vague. I suggest putting their goal (I'm guessing something like survive against the Lantern Man) and the stakes.

Perfect thank you Maurice Vaughan! I'll give it some thought on how to clarify and will edit. One of the things I love about Stage32 is this is sort of a Screenwriter Incubator, where we're all in here staying warm and learning. I'm so glad to be here!
