Demon Knights
LOGLINE:
Trace plans to leave her monster crew, but when they are framed for the banishment of the Antichrist, she must guide them across a city ruled by rival supernatural gangs.
WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT FEATURE/SERIES:
Horror is finally being used to say something real. Demon Knights delivers terrifying genre thrills with modern soul, exploring power, trauma, and moral decay in a world that feels too familiar. Truthfully, the real horror today is how broken the world feels—and Demon Knights turns that fear into fuel. It’s a genre-bending gut punch that tackles trauma, extremism, and moral decay through characters we root for and monsters we recognize. Scary, smart, and socially charged, it’s horror with something to say—and the guts to say it.

PITCH:
In a city controlled by rival monster gangs, Trace leads the Demon Knights with discipline and distance. They hold their turf, avoid unnecessary wars, and survive by staying tight.
But when the Satanists organize a Unity Summit to unite Vampires, Werewolves, and Witches under the Antichrist, the underworld shifts. Before the pact can be sealed, the Witches banish the Antichrist back to Hell and frame the Demon Knights for the act.
The Satanists put a bounty on Trace and her crew, turning every monster gang in the city into hunters.
Now forced into a war she never wanted, Trace must choose between the life she was ready to leave behind and the family she built in blood.
What began as a political summit becomes a fight for survival.
And in a city where loyalty is law, walking away is no longer an option.
