Rusalka

In Slavic mythology, a rusalka (plural: rusalki) was a female ghost, water nymph, succubus or mermaid-like demon that dwelled in a waterway.

[FONT=&quot]According to most traditions, the rusalki were fish-women, who lived at the bottom of rivers. In the middle of the night, they would walk out to the bank and dance in meadows. If they saw handsome men, they would fascinate them with songs and dancing, mesmerise them, then lead the person away to the river floor to live with them.

Beautiful theme. Is that an entry for a film?

Indeed it is Susanne and thanks! Script is ready to go - pre-production about to begin!

Rusalka will be a dark little fairytale with a slight twist on the existing folklore. Can't wait to get going.

I know that girl! :grin:

Welcome to the fest, sounds like an interesting flick. :thumbup:
 
Damn: I shoulda done a succubus. Good to see you in Sarah! Now whip those production slaves and make them dop your bidding!
 
Oooh, this sounds fun. Folklore is such a rich place to draw stories from. Can't wait to see how this turns out. :)
 
Reminds me of the Sirens in Greek mythology. They use beautiful music to lure sailors. The sailors are so captivated by the music that they refuse to leave and end up starving themselves to death. I remember a former girlfriend with that kind of power, but I managed to escape her spell.
