If Judd Apatow Wrote a Horror Movie

Via TheWrap:

Judd Apatow’s next movie (still untitled) comes out on June 1, 2012, Universal announced on Wednesday — and Deal Central has heard (completely false, made up, not true) rumblings that the funnyman could be branching out into horror and/or sequelizing one of his earlier successes.

With Halloween just a few days away, outsiders are telling us that Apatow is considering the following three (phony, manufactured) possibilities:

The 40-Year-Old Psycho — Steve Carell stars as Andy Stitzer, a mild-mannered Toys ‘R Us employee with a dark secret — he’s a homicidal maniac, only, he’s never had the guts to actually kill anyone. That changes when his crazy co-worker (maybe Shelley Malil, but probably not given his limited availability) gives him a crash course in murder. Carell sets his sights on a sweet, single mother (Leslie Mann) and her busty teenage daughter (Kat Dennings), but he begins to fall for the family and struggles with his impulse to kill.

When the leading lady finds out the truth about her new beau, she flees in fear with her daughter, but Andy manages to turn on the charm and lure them back to his creepy house (the last one on the left), which they quickly discover is filled with serial killer memorabilia and disturbing newspaper clippings.

The women make a desperate attempt to escape, but the daughter trips over a giant box of porn and Andy captures them. He ties them up in his basement where he decides to put on the silver roller skates he bought on eBay and ominously circle the damsels in distress while taunting them with bags of sand.

The movie ends with a gory sequence set to songs from the musical “Hair.”

The other two are “Knocked Up Satan” and “Funny Dead People.”
