1 EXT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - NIGHT                              

A couple stand on a walkway leading to the front door of JOSH’s house. JOSH TAYLOR, 17, a wuss, walks up to the door to his house. MICHELLE WYNN, 17, who is not afraid of anything, follows. JOSH turns around. 

JOSH TAYLOR
You know, no one is going to be home till real late.

MICHELLE WYNN
Is this one of those cheezy invites?

JOSH TAYLOR
Sure is. Are you sure he doesn’t know about this?

MICHELLE WYNN
Yes I am totaly sure.

They begin to make out passionately. JOSH holds MICHELLE’s hand and realizes how cold it is.

MICHELLE WYNN
Your hands are very cold. They feel like a dead body.

JOSH TAYLOR
And how would you know how a dead body feels like.

MICHELLE WYNN
I do work at the morgue you know.

JOSH TAYLOR
That is very creepy.

MICHELLE pecks JOSH on the lips one more time.

JOSH TAYLOR
For some reason I am not getting turned on out here. Let’s get inside and warm up.

JOSH unlocks the door. They step inside.

2 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK                         

JOSH shuts the door and locks it.

MICHELLE WYNN
Where is the light switch?

JOSH TAYLOR
I got it.

The room floods with light. MICHELLE takes her coat off and sets it on the recliner. She walks over to the couch in the LIVING ROOM and turns the lamp on, that sits on a small table next to her.

MICHELLE WYNN
Wow, clean house.

JOSH TAYLOR
Ya. So much hard work and swet went in to this house, I can file child labor.

JOSH flips the light switch. The KITCHEN is darkened.

3 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - LAMP LIGHT          

JOSH TAYLOR
Shall I light the candles?

MICHELLE WYNN
I don’t care.

JOSH walks into the KITCHEN.

4 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK

JOSH grabs a lighter from the cupboard and walks back into the living room.

5 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - LAMP LIGHT

JOSH pulls out a lighter and lights the candles and sets the lighter on the table. He then walks over to MICHELLE and sits right next to her.

JOSH TAYLOR
So...

MICHELLE WYNN
Shhh...

JOSH TAYLOR
What for?

MICHELLE WYNN
Just listen.

The footsteps continue.

JOSH TAYLOR
What was that?

MICHELLE WYNN
Footsteps. Could your parents be home already?

JOSH TAYLOR
No they are at a fundraiser in Canada.

MICHELLE WYNN
Ok, well go see who is hanging out on the porch.

JOSH TAYLOR
If you insist.

JOSH enters the KITCHEN.

6 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK

JOSH walks over to the door. He peeks through the window. No one is there.

JOSH TAYLOR
There is no one out there, Michelle.

MICHELLE WYNN
You haven’t checked very well.

JOSH TAYLOR
What, you expect me to walk out there? It could have been a skunk. You don’t want me smelling like skunk ass all night.

MICHELLE WYNN
Quit being such a chicken and unlock the door. Do you need me to hold your hand and walk you through it?

She gets up and walks over to JOSH.

JOSH TAYLOR
No, I can handle it.

JOSH hesitates as he tries to unlock the door.

JOSH TAYLOR
I can’t. What if there is some dirranged killer outside?

MICHELLE WYNN
Come on, Josh. This isn’t some frickin scary movie!

JOSH TAYLOR
I don’t want to be worm chow.

MICHELLE WYNN
Be realistic. This is real life. If anyone was going to kill you they’d be inside here with you. Besides if you do get killed I might get to work on you at the morgue.

JOSH TAYLOR
You are creepy.

MICHELLE WYNN
Hey, the cash is good.

JOSH TAYLOR
If I die, I’ll make sure you die with me.

MICHELLE WYNN
Heh, fat chance.

He unlocks the door and it swings open. MICHELLE utters a scream.

JOSH TAYLOR
And you were calling me a chicken?

MICHELLE WYNN
Well, what are you waiting for? Get the Hell out there.

MICHELLE shoves him outside.

JOSH TAYLOR
Hey...

12 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK

MICHELLE walks over to a door and opens it.

13 EXT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - PORCH - LIGHT

JOSH TAYLOR
Hello, anyone out here?

As JOSH steps off the PORCH,  THE SHAPE appears out of the darkness and slowly walks into the house.

JOSH TAYLOR
Hmm...

JOSH steps up to the PORCH heading towards the door. The sound of leaves crunching makes JOSH turn around. Still no one is around in sight. As JOSH turns around he jumps.

JOSH TAYLOR
(scared)
Jesus!

MICHELLE WYNN
(scoffs)
I can’t believe you. My three year old nephew is braver than you.

JOSH TAYLOR
Shut up. Come on lets get inside.

JOSH and MICHELLE step into the KITCHEN.

CUT TO:

14 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK

JOSH shuts the door and locks it.

JOSH TAYLOR
It’s frickin cold out there.

MICHELLE WYNN
State the obvious.

As they walk in to the LIVING ROOM, THE SHAPE can bearly be seen in the darkness of the KITCHEN. 

15 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - LIGHT

They sit on the couch facing each other.

JOSH TAYLOR
Now that’s over, lets have some fun.

JOSH leans over and begins to kiss MICHELLE. They begin to kiss passionately. MICHELLE begins to unbutton JOSH’s shirt until a large CRASH comes from the KITCHEN.

MICHELLE WYNN
Something fell.

JOSH TAYLOR
I know. I heard it. I will pick it up later.

MICHELLE WYNN
What if someone is in the house?

JOSH TAYLOR
I highly doubt that. It could have been one of the cats.

MICHELLE WYNN
Lets just go look.

They get up and begin to walk. 

JOSH TAYLOR
This is one Hell of a night.

MICHELLE WYNN
Get that bat.

JOSH TAYLOR
You wan’t me to beat my cat with a bat?

MICHELLE WYNN
You don’t know if it was the cat.

JOSH sighs as he picks the bat up off of the floor.

JOSH TAYLOR
There, are you happy?

They walk into the kitchen. 

16 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DARK

JOSH flips the light switch.

17 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - LIGHT

The room is flooded with light. They continue to walk forward. They find a whole bunch of pans SCATTERED across the floor.

A cat jumps off of the oven. MICHELLE squeels.

JOSH laughs and turns around.

JOSH TAYLOR
See, it was the cat.

MICHELLE WYNN
I can see that.

THE SHAPE walks out of the darkness. MICHELLE stairs as the shape approaches.

THE SHAPE lifts a large kitchen knife.

MICHELLE WYNN
(screaming)
JOSH, BEHIND YOU!

JOSH turns around.

JOSH TAYLOR
Holy sh...

THE SHAPE shoves the blade of the knife through JOSH’s flesh. MICHELLE SCREAMS. THE SHAPE pulls out the knife and stares at MICHELLE. THE SHAPE throws JOSH on the floor and stares at MICHELLE.

MICHELLE WYNN
No...

MICHELLE runs to the door. She struggles as she tries to unolock the door.

THE SHAPE gets closer and closer. He tries to grab her, but he misses as she unlocked the door and slammed it in his face.

18 EXT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - PORCH - DARK

MICHELLE runs off the porch. She turns around and notices that THE SHAPE has disappeared.

MICHELLE WYNN
Shit!

She looks back and forth. THE SHAPE has disapeard. The camera pans with her as she runs to the back of the house, MICHELLE cautiosly and quietly picks up a rake off of the ground. Behind her approaches THE SHAPE. MICHELLE feels his eerie presence and turns around. The knife upraised, MICHELLE dodges THE SHAPE’s attack. Up the steps of her back porch, she runs and into the door. It doesnt open when she turns the knob. She bangs on it continually as THE SHAPE aproaches. Closer and closer, THE SHAPE gets near MICHELLE. Finally the door opens on her.

19 INT. JOSH TAYLOR’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - LIGHT

She runs back inside. She runs to JOSH’s body and grabs the baseball bat. She senses THE SHAPE approach her. She turns around. He rushes closer towards her.

MICHELLE whacks THE SHAPE in the face with the bat. She drops it and slowly walks over THE SHAPE.

THE SHAPE grabs her ankle. She falls forward flat on her face. THE SHAPE flips her over and stabs her. She begins to silently scream. THE SHAPE strikes an other blow to MICHELLE’s chest. She is dead.

CUT TO:

A girl wakes up screaming. Swet drips from her face and on to the blankets which covers her. She grabs a glass of water off of the night stand next to her bed and drinks some water out of it. When she finishes she sets it back on the nightstand. The girls mother walks in.

ELIZABETH’S MOTHER
Are you ok?

ELIZABETH
Yes, mother. It was just a nasty nightmare. I’ll be alright.

ELIZABETH’S MOTHER
Okay dear. Just get some sleep. Alright?

ELIZABETH
Uh-huh.

Her mother walks out. ELIZABETH wipes her forehead off with her sleep and falls back to sleep.

ELIZABETH CONNER, 17, very pretty, stands in front of her locker shuffling through papers. The POV walks towards her. She can’t sense him coming. He grabs her and the girl jumps.

ELIZABETH
You scared the crap out of me.

CRAIG
Adrenaline is good for your body. It prepares you.

ELIZABETH
Ya, well you’ve got to quit scaring me like that. You don’t want me to die of a heart attack.

CRAIG LAWRENCE, 18,  leans over and they KISS.

CRAIG
Of course I do.

ELIZABETH lightly smacks CRAIG.

ELIZABETH
You’re insane.

CRAIG
I know.

CRAIG laughs. ELIZABETH slams the locker door shut. They walk towards the front doors. They reach the office and CRAIG notices a MISSING SIGN. 

CRAIG
They’re still missing?

ELIZABETH
(sarcastic tone)
No, Craig. They are just doing that for shits and giggles.

CRAIG
That is some sick humour.

CRAIG laughs.

You’d think that they would have been found by now.

They walk out the front doors together holding hands.

Oh, uhh. Elizabeth and I are spending the weekend together.

BRIANNA
Oh, really.

Rock music plays on the radio.

ELIZABETH and BRIANNA are laying on the floor with their books sitting in front of them.

BRIANNA
What did you get for number twelve?

ELIZABETH
Number twelve? Uhhh... Angle C equals 140 degrees.

BRIANNA
Thank you.

ELIZABETH
You wont pass the final if you keep copying off of someone else.

BRIANNA
That is why we sit nest to people.

ELIZABETH
That is not the way to go.

BRIANNA
Sh, sh, sh.

Rock music stops.

RADIO
Hello rock fans out there. Right now we have a special and awesome report to anounce. The bodies of the missing Cranston High School students, Michelle Wynn and Josh Taylor, were found earlier this afternoon in Josh Taylor’s garage. They were hanging from meat hooks. The police will update us soon with more information. But for now just chill, relax and listen to the best collection of rock music out there since 1968 on 102.5 The Rock Network.

BRIANNA
Oh, ok ok. Head rush of very scary news. Turn that thing off.

ELIZABETH turns the radio off and stares at BRIANNA in disbelief. BRIANNA sits there with a dissapointing look on her face.

ELIZABETH
I can’t believe this. Josh and Michelle? The two from our English class?

BRIANNA
I think. I mean how many Michelle Wynns and Josh Taylors do you know?

ELIZABETH
Who would have killed them?

BRIANNA
I wouldn’t know, but its a big bummer.	They were hanging from meat hooks. I wonder how that must have felt.

ELIZABETH
It’s been a whole week and now they find the bodies in the garage. Our police force must suck.

There is a long pause. BRIANNA is writting down something on paper, while looking at ELIZABETH’s paper repeatedly. Then suddenly BRIANNA speaks.

BRIANNA
Hey, what if there is a serial killer out there hacking up high school students?

ELIZABETH
Now you’re just being stupid.

BRIANNA
Hmmm. It’s a possibility. What time is it?

ELIZABETH
9:30.

BRIANNA
Oh, crap. I was suppose to be home by nine. I got to go.

ELIZABETH
You want me to give you a ride?

BRIANNA
No, thanks. I can walk. Besides you can’t drive without your licence. You had it suspended, remember?

ELIZABETH
Not every pig in the world knows that.

BRIANNA
I don’t want you getting your license taken away forever.

BRIANNA grabs her books and papers and walks out the door.

25 EXT. ELIZABETH’S HOUSE - FRONT DOOR

ELIZABETH stands at her door as she watches BRIANNA walk away.

ELIZABETH
See ya.

BRIANNA
Bye.

BRIANNA walks away. ELIZABETH looks around and steps back inside her house.

The POV stands by a telephone pole, watching, stalking her.

BRIANNA turns around because she has the eerie feeling that someone is watching her, but no one is in sight. She continues to walk forward. The POV walks back into the camera’s view and watches BRIANNA walk. The POV walks out of view. BRIANNA finally gets to her house and gets inside.

28 INT. BRIANNA GREG’S  HOUSE - DARK

BRIANNA shuts the door behind her. She flips a light switch. The room floods with light. Her house is completely empty. 

BRIANNA
Hello? Mom? Dad?

No one answers. She steps into the FAMILY ROOM and sets her books on the table.

BRIANNA
Chris? Is anyone home?

She walks into a BEDROOM, that is completely dark. The only lighting is coming from the window, but lighting is very faint.

29 INT. BRIANNA GREG’S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DARK

The window is open. The curtains flap back and forth. BRIANNA shuts the window and locks it. As she walks away from the window the closet doors swing open and CHRIS jumps out at BRIANNA. BRIANNA utters a scream.

BRIANNA
Jesus Christ!

CHRIS
Where is a camera when you need it. You should have seen your face. It was priceless.

CHRIS GREG, 18, BRIANNA’s brother. He likes to play tricks on people. BRIANNA is annoyed by him, but he makes everyone else laugh. He is on the school wrestling team.

BRIANNA
Shut up, you jerk. Where is mom and dad?

CHRIS
They are gone. They will be back on Monday.

BRIANNA
Perfect. With them gone, we can have a real party!

BRIANNA walks out of the room and CHRIS follows.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN TO:

30 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - CLASSROOM

Students sit at their desks. The classroom is filled with students talking to each other. MRS. JODEE LANGLEY, in her fifties, walks through the door. The room is filled with silence.

MRS. LANGLEY
Good morning class. As you all may have heard, Michelle and Josh were found in Josh’s parents garage, dead.

A student raises her hand.

MRS. LANGLEY
I am sorry Robin, but we are not allowed to discuss this matter in school.

ROBIN BALL, 18, pretty, but kind of short. She is always enthused someway or an other.

ROBIN
Why not?

MRS. LANGLEY
Well, that is how rumors start we don’t want that, now do we? Alright the principle has suggested that we should stand for a moment of silence. Now come on, rise.

All the students rise.

MRS. LANGLEY
(after one-minute)
Ok, you may all sit down. Today we are going to...

32 INT./EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - COURTYARD - LIGHT

In the courtyard ELIZABETH, CRAIG, CHRIS, and ROBIN sit at a wooden table. ELIZABETH sits next to CRAIG. CHRIS and ROBIN sit next to each other on the other side. BRIANNA is in the caffeteria handing out fliers.

CRAIG
Is your sister still handing out those stupid flyers?

CHRIS looks through the window. We see BRIANNA handing out flyers to students that walk by.

CHRIS
Looks like it.

A girl walks by with someone beside her. She is crying.

CHRIS
A friend of Michelle’s or maybe Josh’s?

ELIZABETH
Maybe.

CRAIG
What’s suspicious is, what was Michelle doing with Josh? Wasn’t her boyfriend that loser...ummm, what was his name?

ELIZABETH
Noel Johnson.

CRAIG
(turns to Chris)
Didn’t your sister know Michelle?

CHRIS
Uh, ya. It’s too bad Michelle died, though. She had some nice tits.

CRAIG
Ya she did...

ELIZABETH backhands CRAIG on the shoulder. He whelps “OW” as he rubs his arm.

ELIZABETH
Get your penut sized brains out of the gutter.

BRIANNA walks through the door.

BRIANNA
Well, I am out of fliers. Saturday is going to be a buisy night.

CHRIS
If mom and dad find out, you’re screwed.

BRIANNA
They won’t find out, unless a little punk like you opens his mouth.

BRIANNA walks over to ROBIN and sits next to her. 

ROBIN
Who do you think killed them? Michelle and Josh?

CRAIG
Probably Josh’s parents.

CHRIS
Don’t think so. The news chick stated that Josh’s parents were at a fundraiser in Furgus.

CRAIG
Likely excuse. Wait, what kind of name for a town is Furgus?

CHRIS
I dunno, but it’s in Can...

The school bell rings.

CHRIS
Can’t be late for class. See ya.

CHRIS gets up and walks across the table with his tray in his hand. He jumps down and throws the tray in the garbage can. Then the rest get up and exit through the door.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN TO:

33 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - LIGHT

The school’s bells ring and students come rushing like a pack of wolves. ROBIN and ELIZABETH walk out of their math class together. ROBIN turns the opposite direction from ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH
(turns around)
Are you coming with?

ROBIN
Can’t. Band concert on Sunday. I need all the rehearsal I can get.

ELIZABETH
Ok. Call Brianna’s when your done. Brianna and I want to go shopping and we want you to come with.

ROBIN
That sounds great. See ya.

ELIZABETH
Bye.

ELIZABETH turns back around and starts down the hallway. ROBIN heads the opposite direction past two pop machines and through the school caffeteria.

CUT TO:

34 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - BAND ROOM - LIGHT

ROBIN enters a large room with sheet music stands every where. She walks over to the piano  and sets her stuff right next to it. She pulls the small bench out of under the pianno and  sits on it. She cracks her fingers and begins to warm up. She finishes and begins to play a song...BEETHOVEN’S MOONLIGHT SONATA.Three minutes into the song she sees the door to the room shut. She stops playing and gets up off the stool and walks over to the door and begins to investigate.

ROBIN
Hello? Is anyone out here?

No one answers. She heads back to the pianno and begins to play the song again. Unexpectedly someone bangs on the door. ROBIN turns around and her face filled with anger.

ROBIN
Who’s there?

She walks over to the door and looks through the little window. She can’t see anyone.

ROBIN
Assholes!

She turns around and the door is banged on again. Now she is really pissed.

ROBIN
Okay...

She turns around and opens the door with force. She steps out of the room and scopes the little hallway.

35 EXT. OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM - HALLWAY

She walks to each end of the hallway. No one. She walks back in to the classroom and slams the door.

35 1/2 INT. INSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

As she enters the room she jumps. Her face filled with fear she begins to speak.

ROBIN
Hey, ummm Halloween isn’t till tommorow.

THE SHAPE stands there silently, staring into ROBIN’s eyes. THE SHAPE sends chills down her spine. She begins shake. She can sense the evil that THE SHAPE is fuul of.

ROBIN
I think I better go now...

THE SHAPE shakes his head.

ROBIN
I can do whatever the hell I want. Now get the fuck out of my way.

THE SHAPE pulls a knife out of it’s pocket. It grips the knife tightly into the plam of his hand. THE SHAPE is gripping it so tight that the veins in his hand are popping out.

ROBIN
What are you doing?

THE SHAPE does not answer. THE SHAPE raises the knife a bit high so that ROBIN is aware that he means business.

ROBIN
You better hope that thing is fake, dude. ‘Cause I can sue your ass in court.

THE SHAPE raises the knife up high. ROBIN’s eyes widen as the SHAPE is about to plunge the knife down into her flesh. ROBIN has an image of what THE SHAPE was going to do, but ROBIN is smart enough to know that if she stands there any longer that she will get killed.

ROBIN
No you don’t...

ROBIN books it out of there. THE SHAPE watches her exit the classroom and follows her. She runs into a hallway full of lockers.

36 EXT. CLASSROOM - INT. HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - LOCKERS

ROBIN
Somebody? Please help.

ROBIN reaches a door. She tries to open it, but it’s locked. She is quite scared. The thought that she might get slaughtered is what is keeping her alive at this point. Her smart thinking is saving her from the pain of a knife being plunged into her flesh.

She can’t feel THE SHAPE’s eerie presence, so she turns around. THE SHAPE has dissapeared.

ROBIN runs into the second hallway full of lockers and bumps into her band classmate DEBIE JOHNSON, 18.

ROBIN
Debie, please help me. He or she or whatever the person is, is trying kill me.

DEBIE JOHNSON
Why?

ROBIN
He’s right behind you!

DEBIE turns around and THE SHAPE grabs a hold of her neck and begins to crush the front of her throat with his thumb. ROBIN stands there, paralyzed, not able to move. She finally interpurts what is happening and screams as she runs the opposite direction.

DEBIE stops squeeling, as her head tilts forward. She is dead. THE SHAPE throws DEBIE down on to the floor and walks after ROBIN.

CUT TO:

CLOSE UP ON ROBIN RUNNING

ROBIN runs down the hallway screaming “SOMEONE HELP ME!” and in to a small dark alley. She leans up against the wall.

CUT TO:

THE SHAPES POV

THE SHAPE walks forward and passes the alleyway, not noticing ELIZABETH.

CUT TO:

BACK TO ROBIN

ROBIN watches him walk by. She slowly walks out of the alleyway and heads towards the opposite direction from THE SHAPE. She tippy toes past a trophy case facing THE SHAPE. THE SHAPE turns around. ROBIN screams.

ROBIN
Why can’t you just leave me alone?!

She runs though the hallway and up a staircase. She leans up against the railing. She waits a few seconds and slowly walks down the steps. THE SHAPE has dissapeared. She runs down the hallway and reaches an door way. She bumps straight in to THE SHAPE.

ROBIN
No...

ROBIN turns around and the SHAPE grabs her arm.

ROBIN
Let go of me!

The SHAPE does not let go. He takes the knife and stabs her in the back. She screams in agony. Nobody is around to help her. The SHAPE keeps stabbing her, till her head tilts forward. She is dead. The SHAPE picks her up and walks away, leaving a trail of blood.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN TO:

37 INT. BRIANNA GREG’S HOUSE - BEDROOM - LIGHT

BRIANNA sits at her desk next to the phone and ELIZABETH sits on the bed looking kind of deeprest. BRIANNA notices.

BRIANNA
Your awfully quiet. What’s wrong?

ELIZABETH
Huh? Oh, Nothing.

BRIANNA
Come on El. I have known you for sixteen years. I can tell that there is something bugging you. Spill.

ELIZABETH
Well I keep having these nightmares. You know, about what happened two months ago.

BRIANNA
Well. It’s devastating.

ELIZABETH
I don’t know. I mean, these nightmares are scaring the hell out of me.

BRIANNA
What happens?

ELIZABETH
Well, I am driving and the people that crashed into us, crash into us. When the car is flipped over and we are still inside. I see Annie, dead. I start to scream. Everyone is knocked out. Then I hear sirens. I turn my head to look at Annie. Her eyes are shut. Then they open and she says: It’s all your fault. And I wake up.

BRIANNA
El. It wasn’t your fault and you know it. You weren’t drunk. Those jerks were. They crashed into you. Quit being so hard on yourself. It’s just your mind playing tricks on you.

ELIZABETH
I guess, but every dream. Every nightmare, they mean something. Maybe this is some sort of a sign.

BRIANNA
Just don’t worry about it. 

ELIZABETH gets up and begins to walk back and forth in frustration.

BRIANNA
What’s wrong now?

ELIZABETH
Why hasn’t Robin called?

BRIANNA
She is probably making out with Peter again.

ELIZABETH
Should we just go?

BRIANNA
Yah. I am sure she is fine.

BRIANNA gets up and walks over to CHRIS’s room. She knocks on the door.

CHRIS
Who is it?

BRIANNA
Who do you think?

CHRIS
Oh. Come in.

BRIANNA opens the door and steps in. There are posters all over the walls, music is playing and the TELEVISION is playing. She notices CHRIS laying on the bed watching it.

BRIANNA
I am not staying. Elizabeth and I are going to get decorations, food, and anything else we need for the Halloween party. So, If Robin calls tell her to call my cell. Okay?

CHRIS does not answer. He is just laying there flipping through the channels; hypnotised by the TELEVISION set.

BRIANNA
Hey dumbass, did you hear me?

CHRIS turns to BRIANNA and answers her.

CHRIS
Yah, sure.

He stares back at the TELEVISION as BRIANNA walks out.

BRIANNA
Ok, let’s go.

BRIANNA walks into the kitchen and grabs her coat. She puts it on and grabs her purse as ELIZABETH grabs her keys and purse. ELIZABETH opens the door and walks out of the house. BRIANNA follows.

Now let’s discuss party. My parents have a whole bunch of bottles of booze in their room that they probably forgot about. So, I am thinking that I can get some out for the party.

ELIZABETH
If we get busted, your parents are going to kill you.

ROBIN’S MOM
Hello?

ELIZABETH
Hey Mrs. Ball, this is Elizabeth, is Robin around?

ROBIN’S MOM

ROBIN’S MOM
Don’t mention it. Bye.

ELIZABETH
Bye.

ELIZABETH hangs up and turns to BRIANNA.

ELIZABETH
She isn’t home.

BRIANNA
Like I said earlier, she must be with Peter.

ELIZABETH
A re you sure?

BRIANNA
If she isn’t with Peter, then where could she be?

ELIZABETH
Remember how you said that there could be a serial killer out there.

BRIANNA
I wasn’t serious.

ELIZABETH
Well, it’s the only explanation. What if there is?

BRIANNA
(scoffs)
Yeah right, like Bundy and Manson are still alive.

ELIZABETH stares at BRIANNA.

BRIANNA
What?

ELIZABETH
Manson is still a live. He is in prison somwhere. And besides, this isn’t something to be joking about. There could be a killer somwhere out there.

BRIANNA
Don’t get your hopes up. Let’s not think the worst. Let’s go to sleep, cause we have a lot of decorating to do tommorow and I am sure that Robin will show up soon, dead or alive.

So?

BRIANNA
What if, this might be crazy, but what if she is dead.

Come on, Robin can take care of her self. You said, so yourself. Let’s not think the worst...

The sound of leaves crunching comes from outside. BRIANNA gets up and walks over to the window. She stared outside and no one is there. BRIANNA turns around.

BRIANNA
I thought I heard something.

ELIZABETH
Maybe it was a racoon.

BRIANNA turns around and screams. CRAIG is standing at the window. He taps on it and she opens the window.

ELIZABETH
What the hell are you doing here?

ELIZABETH gets up and walks to the window.

BRIANNA
Where is my brother?

CRAIG
I don’t know he never showed up. I came here to see if he was here. The wrestling match ended thirty minutes a go.

BRIANNA
What a coincidence. Robin is missing also.

ELIZABETH
Maybe Robin and Chris got together to scare us tommorow.

CRAIG
Chris did say something about crashing your party.

BRIANNA
That bastard. Well, I got news for him. We will be ready for them tommorow. Aren’t we, El?

ELIZABETH

ELIZABETH tries to get confortable on the couch as she waits for BRIANNA to get back from the police station. But what if BRIANNA didn’t make it. What if BRIANNA got slaughtered by ELIZABETH’s psycho boyfriend. This is one of the many things going through her mind.

BANG! BANG! Someone is banging on the door. ELIZABETH freaks out. What if it is CRAIG. What if he is here to kill her.

CRAIG
Brianna? Where are you? Please let me in? Someone is following me. Brianna?

CRAIG lays on the floor, unconscious. ELIZABETH is walking back and forth in frustration. Suddenly hears CRAIG moan. He is awake.

CRAIG
What happe...You hit me with a fucken vase. What is wrong with you?

ELIZABETH
Self defence.

CRAIG
What?

ELIZABETH
I thought that if you found the gun that maybe you would shoot me.

CRAIG notices that he is tied up.

CRAIG
Why the hell did you tie me up for?

ELIZABETH
Cause of the way you are acting right now. Don’t be mad Craig. I am just scared.

CRAIG
Jesus...Where is Brianna?

ELIZABETH
She drove to the police station.

CRAIG 
Couldn’t you just call 9-1-1.

ELIZABETH
Look around. The power is out.

CRAIG
This house is the only one.

ELIZABETH
I thought you did it.

CRAIG
What? No. I didn’t.

ELIZABETH
Are you sure?

CRAIG
Yes I am sure. Can you please untie me?

ELIZABETH
Not until Brianna gets back. Is it cold in here or is it just me?

CRAIG
It’s coming from Chris’s room. The window is open.

ELIZABETH
How do you know?

CRAIG
I walked by it when I was going to get the gun.

ELIZABETH
I will be right back.

CRAIG
Bring me some asprin.

ELIZABETH walks into CHRIS’s room.

72 INT. BRIANNA GREG’S HOUSE - CHRIS’S ROOM

The window is open. ELIZABETH rubs her arm trying to warm it up. She walks up to the window and shuts it. She turns around and...THE SHAPE jumps out at her and tries to stab her. She defends herself from the large kitchen knife and throws THE SHAPE down on the floor. She runs out of the room screaming.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

73 INT. BRIANNA GREG’S HOUSE

CRAIG sees her run out.

CRAIG
What’s wrong?

ELIZABETH
Let’s go! The killer is in the house.

ELIZABETH runs over to the door.

CRAIG
I can’t I am tied.

ELIZABETH runs over to him and begins to untie him. THE SHAPE walks out of the room and approaches ELIZABETH and CRAIG.

CRAIG
Hurry up!

ELIZABETH
I am.

You can see fear in CRAIG’s eyes. ELIZABETH finally unties him and they both get up and run out of the door.

74 EXT. BRIANNA GREG’S HOUSE.

They run down to MRS. LANGLEY’s house. THE SHAPE follows them. When they get to MRS. LANGLEY’s house, ELIZABETH pounds on the door. The porch light came on.

ELIZABETH
Mrs. Lanlgey?! 

CRAIG
Mrs. Langley! Let us in. Please! Quick.

ELIZABETH
He is coming after us! Help please.

The door flies open, to find MRS. LANGLEY at the door.

MRS. LANGLEY
What is all the ruckus?

ELIZABETH
That guy, he is trying to kill us.

MRS. LANGLEY
What guy?

CRAIG
The one...

CRAIG turns around and notices that THE SHAPE is gone.

ELIZABETH
He...He was chasing us.

CRAIG
With a kitchen knife.

MRS. LANGLEY
(sighs)
Well there is no one there now. Come on in and let’s get you warmed up.

MRS. LANGLEY welcomes them in. ELIZABETH goes in first, then CRAIG, and then MRS. LANGLEY. As MRS. LANGLEY walks in she looks across the street making sure that there was no one there.

75 INT. MRS. JODEE LANGLEY’S HOUSE - FAMILY ROOM

ELIZABETH and CRAIG sit down on a couch by a roaring fire place. MRS. LANGLEY walks in with cups of hot liquid. She hands one cup to ELIZABETH and one to CRAIG. After she gives them their cups she sits on the couch across from them. CRAIG and ELIZABETH set their cups on the table.

MRS. LANGLEY
Now tell me. What is going on?

ELIZABETH
I do not know, but there is someone who is trying to kill us. Jesus. Why are we even sitting here. He could kill us all.

ELIZABETH gets up and throws the blanket down on the ground.

ELIZABETH
What are you guys waiting for. I don’t feel like getting slaughtered by some stupid psycho. Let’s baracade this place.

CRAIG gets up and follows ELIZABETH into an other room.

CUT TO:

76 INT. MRS. JODEE LANGLEY’S HOUSE - ANOTHER ROOM

As ELIZABETH and CRAIG enter the room, we see MRS. LANGLEY walk in after room.

MRS. LANGLEY
Why won’t just call the police?

ELIZABETH turns around and faces MRS. LANGLEY.

ELIZABETH
Does your phone line work?

MRS. LANGLEY
I don’t know.

ELIZABETH
Well go check.

MRS. LANGLEY walks over to the phone and picks it up. There is no tone. She hangs up.

MRS. LANGLEY
No...

All of a sudden a loud CLUNK! came from the kitchen.

MRS. LANGLEY
What was that?

ELIZABETH
He is in here.

MRS. LANGLEY walks over to a night stand and opens the drawer. ELIZABETH stares at her in puzzlement.

ELIZABETH
What are you doing?

MRS. LANGLEY
Teachers have guns to you know.

She pulls out a black coloured gun. She tosses it to CRAIG.

MRS. LANGLEY
Take care of the bastard.

CRAIG walks towards towards the FAMILY ROOM and stops at the door way. He leans up against the wall the same way a cop would during something like this. CRAIG then swiftly moves into the FAMILY ROOM with the gun pointed forward. No one is in the FAMILY ROOM. ELIZABETH and MRS. LANGLEY are right behind him.

77 INT. MRS. JODEE LANGLEY’S HOUSE - FAMILY ROOM

Slowly, CRAIG walks towards the KITCHEN doorway. The KITCHEN is dark, but you can still see what is inside. He walks closer and closer to the kitchen. Finally he enters it. He can’t see anyone, but he notices a broom on the floor and next to it the garbage is laying there. He turns around facing MRS. LANGLEY and ELIZABETH.

MRS. LANGLEY
Well?

CRAIG
No one is in here, but your garbage can is laying...

THE SHAPE walks out of the darkness and towards CRAIG. THE SHAPE gets close enough, where he can plunge a knife into CRAIG. THE SHAPE grabs a knife that lays on the kitchen counter and stabs it in CRAIG’s back. CRAIG moans in agony as MRS. LANGLEY and ELIZABETH freak out. CRAIG falls to the floor and THE SHAPE walks past him and heads towards the girls.

The girls run away and THE SHAPE follows. They run into the little hallway they were in previously. THE SHAPE has disapeared.

MRS. LANGLEY
Where’d he go?

ELIZABETH
Who cares! Let’s go!

They run towards the back door, but THE SHAPE walks in front of the door blocking it from MRS. LANGLEY and ELIZABETH. They turn around and run up the stairs. MRS. LANGLEY trips over a step. ELIZABETH hears the THUMP! and turns around.

MRS. LANGLEY
Just go.

ELIZABETH
I am not leaving you.

MRS. LANGLEY
Just go!

ELIZABETH
Okay.

THE SHAPE keeps getting closer and closer. ELIZABETH sees THE SHAPE and continues up the stairs. MRS. LANGLEY struggles as she tries to get up. Once she gets up, she takes off her shoe and throws it at THE SHAPE. It doesn’t stop it. As THE SHAPE gets closer and closer, MRS. LANGLEY starts up the stairs. THE SHAPE puts it’s arm around MRS. LANGLEY’s neck putting her in to a strangle hold. MRS. LANGLEY makes choking sounds as she is being strangled. All of a sudden...BANG! A gun goes off. THE SHAPE stops strangling MRS. LANGLEY and turns around. ELIZABETH, being at the top of the steps, is in awe with MRS. LANGLEY.

CRAIG stands at the bottom of the stairs.

CRAIG
Don’t move!

THE SHAPE froze there as CRAIG points the gun at it.

CRAIG
Who the hell are you?!

THE SHAPE steps forward towards MRS. LANGLEY.

CRAIG
Stay right there! Now!

THE SHAPE stops.

CRAIG
Reveal yourself.

THE SHAPE stands there silently.

CRAIG
Now!

THE SHAPE finally takes off it’s mask. NOEL JOHNSON.

ELIZABETH
Noel?

NOEL
Ya.

CRAIG stands there puzzled.

CRAIG
Noel? What the hell?

NOEL
What, you want an explanation?

NOEL laughs and turns around.

NOEL
I’m sure you two want one also. It’s very interesting, really. Let’s see, how would I explain this. Okay. Sunday, I decided to visit Michelle. I am on my way and I see that SLUT! making out with Josh...

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

Across from MRS. LANGLEY, we see NOEL standing by a telephone watching MICHELLE and JOSH make out.

END FLASHBACK:

BACK TO:

NOEL giving his motive.

NOEL
I got pissed off and I run back home. I was so furious. Michelle was cheating on me. So I decided to kill both Michelle and Josh. I was scared at first, but when I killed Josh first, it changed me. As I plunged the knife...

We can see ELIZABETH getting queezy and MRS. LANGLEY surprised.

NOEL
...into Josh’s flesh, the way it felt, the way the blood oozed out made me feel like a whole new person. So I went after Michelle and killed her second. It felt so good to get sweet revenge. Then I decided, heck why not kill any one else that has made my life miserable. I went home and made a list. A list of all the people who I want dead. Don’t worry Jodee, you weren’t on it, but now you are.

NOEL turns around and faces CRAIG.

NOEL
And same with you. That is why I stabbed you in the back. Heh, stab you in the back. Boy am I humorous. Anyway I wasn’t going to kill you. Just Elizabeth.

ELIZABETH
Why me?

NOEL turns around, facing ELIZABETH.

NOEL
Remember? Two months ago?

ELIZABETH nods.

NOEL
You and your friends went to a club with my sister. And you were driving. You guys got into a reck and you killed her. You killed my frickin’ sister!

ELIZABETH
You have to understand. It was an accident.

NOEL
To you and everyone else, but I. I know the truth. You crashed on purpose. You wanted my sister dead and you know it.

ELIZABETH
That is so...

NOEL
No. It’s not bullshit. It’s the truth. I can read you like a book. You are just, so...How would I say this...I got it. You are, so damn predictable! And now I am going to kill you.

NOEL starts up the stairs. Untill CRAIG speaks.

CRAIG
You’re not going to kill her!

NOEL turns around, facing CRAIG.

NOEL
Why not?

CRAIG
Because...You’re dead?

NOEL
Wha...

BANG! BANG! BANG! CRAIG shoots NOEL three times. NOEL falls down the steps. CRAIG walks past NOEL. NOEL grabs CRAIG’s leg. CRAIG falls forward. He rolls around and...BANG! He shoots noel in the head. Blood oozes out of all his bullet wounds.

CRAIG walks up to ELIZABETH and MRS. LANGLEY.

CRAIG
Are you all right?

ELIZABETH
Ya.

MRS. LANGLEY
I will be fine. What about you? You’ve got a stab wound on your back.

CRAIG
I wasn’t, heh, asking...

CRAIG falls forward, passing out. MRS. LANGLEY catches him.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

78 INT. MRS. JODEE LANGLEY’S HOUSE - FAMILY ROOM

ELIZABETH sits next to MRS. LANGLEY. Police are everywhere.

MRS. LANGLEY
Want something to drink?

ELIZABETH
No thanks.

CRAIG walks into the FAMILY ROOM with a badage covering the back and front of his tourso. ELIZABETH gets up and hugs CRAIG.

ELIZABETH
Thanks.

CRAIG stares at MRS. LANGLEY.

CRAIG
You don’t suppose you can give me an A, do you?

MRS. LANGLEY
Don’t push it.

CRAIG and ELIZABETH sit down on the couch across from MRS. LANGLEY.

ELIZABETH
Maybe Noel was right. Maybe it was all my fault.

CRAIG
Come on. It wasn’t your fault. It was the people that crashed into you.

ELIZABETH
But why would he hold a grudge over an accident?

MRS. LANGLEY
People are known to hold them.

ELIZABETH turns to CRAIG and looks at the bandage.

ELIZABETH
What did they say about your back?

CRAIG
It’s going to heal. Not to much damage. The blade missed all my major nerves. And I didn’t lose too much blood.

ELIZABETH turns to MRS. LANGLEY.

ELIZABETH
Mrs. Langley, If you don’t mind me asking. Why were following me the past few days?

MRS. LANGLEY
I heard a rumor that someone was going to kill you.

ELIZABETH
Oh.

We see two EMT PERSONEL put NOEL, covered by a sheet, on the stretcher and roll him out. NOEL’s arm hangs out of under the sheet he is covered with. The arm flexes.

A DETECTIVE walks up to ELIZABETH and CRAIG. He has some bad news.

DETECTIVE
Okay, Noel’s body is being taken away and our clean up group will have the place cleaned up soon, but I am afraid I have some bad news. BRIANNA GREG was found dead by metcalf street.

ELIZABETH
What? Are you sure?

DETECTIVE
Yes we found I.D. in her back pocket. Was she a friend of yours?

ELIZABETH unable to speak, CRAIG speaks for her.

CRAIG
Ya, her bestfriend.

ELIZABETH is sad. Tears bead down her cheaks, but you can’t notice.

DETECTIVE
Do, you know how we can contact her parents?

ELIZABETH
No. No I don’t.

An EMT runs up to the DETECTIVE.

EMT GUY
Sir, we have a serious problem.

DETECTIVE
What is it?

EMT GUY
The body...it’s gone.

DETECTIVE
What?

The DETECTIVE follows the EMT personel to the EMERGENCY BUS.

The DETECTIVE looks inside the EMERGENCY BUS. There is an empty stretcher. There are white bloody sheets all over the floor of the EMERGENCY BUS.
