STIGMATIZED PROPERTY

STIGMATIZED PROPERTY
By Callie Currence

GENRE: Horror, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A burned-out ex-priest turned realtor, his practical wife, and a relentlessly cheerful home stager try to sell a haunted house in a market scarier than the ghosts.

SYNOPSIS:

Mike once worked as a priest. Now he sells homes no one else will touch — the stigmatized properties. With his upbeat stager Brooke, and his weary wife Samantha, Mike tries to present haunted houses as just another day on the market.

Samantha manages the books and the rising bills, grounding the chaos with pragmatic reminders about disclosure laws and mortgage realities. Brooke hides bloodstains with rugs and scented candles, smiling through every groan in the walls. And Mike, caught between burnout and desperation, half-heartedly swings a thurible while pretending this is all still professional.

When an open house erupts into full-blown supernatural chaos, buyers flee. Just as the sale seems doomed, a swaggering tech bro shows up — not to be scared off, but to buy the property in crypto and flip it into an escape room.

Stigmatized Property is a horror comedy that blends mockumentary humor with real estate satire. Because in the end, the scariest thing isn’t the ghosts. It’s the market.

I like the concept, Callie Currence! My favorite part of your logline is "in a market scarier than the ghosts." I suggest adding the inciting incident and the stakes to the logline.
