Plot Ideas for trailer JB

The genre I've decided on is horror, with the sub-genre either being thriller or psychological. Therefore I've researched some of this genre's plots and come up with some new ideas inspired by some of these. A lot of psychological horrors contain things like possession and ghosts/ demons.

1st Idea:
- A troubled old man rocking backward and forward in his rocking chair, smoking and drinking, quietly humming to himself.
- You see hints that something is with him in the room, or outside through the window.
- There's some build up then it eventually kills him and leaves him there, still rocking.
- Police investigation scene about the murder. They find nothing.
- Cuts to a family moving into the house and them being happy they got a new house.
- Then fast edits through different scenes in the house where the family get terrorised by this demon.

2nd Idea:
 - A man is walking in the woods listening to his iPod, you see hints that something is following him and he is getting a bit nervous and keeps looking over his shoulder.
- Eventually he stops and turns off his iPod, shouts out something like who's there and then it kills him.
- A police investigation scene the following morning and they can't find anything, a special ghost hunter is also there and concludes it's supernatural.
- They ward off the forest to keep people safe just in case it is supernatural even though the police don't believe it.
- Teenagers sneak in at night to drink. It's all happy until one of them gets pulled out of the circle from the shadows and havoc ensues.
- There's 6 of them and they die off one by one with perhaps one survivor. During the last bit of the trailer there's jump cuts and fast edits between different bits of action and tension alike.
