Three years ago i bought a book in Tampa which is meant to be a great for creative like minds and for the past three years I have made it my New Years Resolution to complete it. The book is called 642 Things To Write About by The San Francisco Writers Grotto. I never got round to writing many of them so what’s a better way then getting through them then writing a few as an article each week! Enjoy!
152. Write down the name of A person Who haunts you from the grave, a person who fascinates you, and the person you don’t understand. Put them together in a scene.
Haunts from grave – Clown Ghost
Fascinates You – Charlie Chaplin
Person you don’t understand – Mime Artist
Chaplin had an idea for a new film he wanted to be walking down the street bump into a mime artist and then have a competition with him to out mime Street entertainer to create an interesting and funny outcome to the audience.
Whilst on the set filming The new scenes with mime – and unusual presence started to feel welcome and set. They heard a “wooooooooo” *honk honk*. Chaplin and the mime turned around to see a ghost in the form of a clown looking at them.
Chaplin and the mime run away screaming. They seem to realise that the clown ghost is harmless and wants to join in the fun. The film won an Oscar and is celebrated by future film historians.
