I just found out that in a few hours I have to run a one shot campaign. Any quick ideas would be appreciated. I am a veteran DM and could throw together anything, just need some ideas to get started.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
Just use a movie. They are easy to break down into 3 stages which is common for a one shot. Season of the witch and even the 13th warrior would work and could be adapted into a one shot quickly. If you have not seen the movies well use something you have seen. Hell you could even use Event Horizon as a base. You would need to altar things to make it work. Like the tec for example, but it could make for a good horror themed one shot.
A local noble is sick, cursed by an evil hag, and has one day left to live. The heroes must journey into the Feywild to find a plant that can cure the illness, facing unseelie fey, fairytale monsters, and maybe the hag herself along the way.
The local abbey has been infiltrated by cultists, who have summoned undead, demons, or eldritch horrors to patrol its catacombs. At midnight, they will sacrifice the abbot to bring back their dark master; the heroes must fight through the abbey and stop them.
The old ruler of the island is dead, and his oracles have declared that the party who first navigates the palace's labyrinth and slays its minotaur will be the new rulers. The heroes must navigate the labyrinth, facing mythical monsters, while racing against rival teams.

Probably I'm too late but hopefully not!
