The Root Pits the President’s Son Against an Evil Alien

When an alien species invades Earth, it’s never for a good reason. They never take in the sights, catch a Broadway show, or illegally download some movies to watch on their trip back home. No, they’re always blowing up national monuments or laughing maniacally as they self-destruct and blow up a jungle in the process. In other words, they’re intergalactic douchebags with superior IQs.

The alien in Misfit Picture Shows’ The Root isn’t much different. Instead of knocking back a cold one and revealing what’s really on the dark side of the moon, it wants to challenge the President’s son to a death duel. Is a friendly game of beer pong out of the question?

To bring this story to life, the producers are looking for a little cash from horror fans not unlike yourself. In fact, they recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund The Root, and they’re still in need of your spare change. The more you can contribute, the happier they’ll be.

Here’s the tale they’d love to tell:

There is life on other planets. They are called THE ROOT. This alien culture has a Ritual that forces their Prince to engage another species’ heir in a death-duel. THE ROOT have chosen humanity as the species, and they have been waiting to initiate their Ritual at a time when the heir is isolated from the attention of our world. That time is this weekend.

To celebrate the end of summer, the U.S. President’s son and his closest college friends are taking a weekend camping trip. They aim to make this weekend count… Sex, drugs, and rock & roll. As an implacable fate stalks them, these friends come to realize that humanity is no longer the most dangerous predator on Earth…

… and that first contact is going to HURT.

If audio/visual aids are more your thing, check out the preview trailer for The Root below. But don’t take too long; as of this writing, only 13 days are left in the campaign!
