So I'm writing a screenplay...

Some of these have been played a lot on TV shows and movies. That doesn't mean that they aren't still viable. You just need to a have a twist (preferrably a comic twist) about how the situation developed or occurred that will set your story apart.

The prospect of cannibalism is there since farm generally have all the tools to turn animals into food and you'll have bodies that need disposing of, either accidentally or on purpose. (BTW - I seem to recall some B-grade horror movie from the early eighties ("Motel Hell"?) where they cut out people's tongues and buried them up to their necks so they could 'harvest' them. Probably not a good idea for a story though, since that was part of the reason why it was a B-movie...LOL!)

How about an elderly, frail-looking, church-going couple who just happen to be really, really good at ending people and disposing of the remains, because "Back in our day, this is how we handled young miscreants."?

The well of awesome and somewhat twisted ideas runs very deep in you, my friend.  Keep this up and you'll be the co-writer.  And that wouldn't bother me a bit.  Kinds like how Adam Sandler, Will Farrell,  Seth Rogan, those guys get together and come up with hilarity together.  You know that would be some serious fun.
