By: Zach Hennis
Open in on:
A Fire Burning
Camera Zooms out and pans completely around the fire.
Crystal Parker and Danny Timmerman are making out next to the fire.
Cut To:
P.O.V.: Chris Jones’ mask standing behind a tree about 20 feet from Crystal and Danny.
Chris starts stalking Crystal and Danny. When he gets about 10 feet from them he steps on a twig and it snaps.
P.O.V
On Danny and Crystal.
They turn and see nothing.
Danny
What was that?
Crystal
I don’t know
Out of nowhere Chris James jumps down from a tree and stabs 2 metal spears into Danny and Crystal.
Chris stands over them.
The Camera pans around as Chris looks up at us with an evil grin on his face and then he begins an evil laugh.
Fade Out:
Roll opening credits
Music: Stalking Theme
Open In on:
A Sign that reads:
Smunksville, Nebraska-5 miles
The Camera Rolling as if it was in a car.
P.O.V on cop car with Deputy Wilson and Officer Tayata in it.
We can see smoke coming from back in the woods.
Officer Tayata
There’s smoke coming out of the woods.
Deputy Wilson
Let’s check it out.
They speed up and go about a mile down the road and turn into a dirt road leading to the spot where Danny and Crystal were. When they get to the spot they get out of the cruiser.
Deputy
It’s just a campfire
Officer
I’ll get my canteen and put it out
Officer Tayata walks back to the cruiser. Deputy Wilson walks around the fire slowly. He suddenly stops as he looks down.
The Camera pans down and we see some blood. The blood is in the shape of a Celtic star.
Officer Tayata dumps water on the fire and Deputy Wilson who was still looking down at the blood jumps back scared.
Deputy
Shit, you scared me
Officer
Ha Ha!
The Deputy takes one more look down at the blood but doesn’t think too much about it, but it is still troubling his mind.
Deputy
Let’s get the hell outta here.
Officer
Okay
They get back into their cruiser and drive off.
Cut To:
Outside High School-Afternoon
Kids walking around outside
Cut To:
Inside of High school
Michelle Tayata and Scottie Mahoney are standing at their lockers talking.
Michelle
Are we still going out to the woods this weekend.
Scottie
Yeah. I got the tent and Jeff has the sleeping bags and pillows.
Michelle
Ok then, pick me up at 4
Scottie
Yeah, but I’m gonna pick up everyone else first
Michelle
Ok, bye baby
They share a passionate kiss.
Cut To:
Weight Room
Deacon Nash is doing bench press while Tommy and Ashley are making out.
Deacon
Stop making out ya pussy.
If you want to get All State next year you’d start lifting.
Tommy
Calm down Deac. See ya later Ash.
Ashley
See ya. They kiss again.
Deacon clears his throat.
Tommy
Alright I’ll lift. Jeez.
Cut To:
Parking Lot outside of school.
We follow Ashley as she looks around the parking lot.
Jennifer
Over her Ashley.
Ashley starts walking over to the car. Jeff is in the driver seat.
Music is blaring.
Metallica’s Enter Sandman is playing.
Ashley enter the vehicle.
They drive off down the road.
A camer “high angle” follws them
They pull into Ashley’s driveway
Ashley
Thanks for the ride
Jennifer
Bye Ash
Ashley
Are you going tomorrow night.
Jennifer
Yeah, we’ll be there.
Ashley walks up to her house as Jeff and Jennifer drive off.
Cut To:
Woods-where Danny and Crystal were killed.
It’s now a 2-man crime scene.
Deputy
What do you think Dr…
Dr. Crane
Crane.
Deputy
Well then Dr. Crane what do you make of the blood.
Dr. Crane
Did you see any bodies.
Deputy
No just the blood. The blood was shaped like a star.
Dr. Crane
Are you certain.
Deputy
Yes, positive
Dr. Crane
Was anybody else with you.
Deputy
Yeah, Officer Tayata, but he didn’t see anything.
Dr. Crane
Well I have no…….Oh my god.
The Camera zooms in on a tree with a red star and symbols
Deputy
What are those symbols? What do they mean?
Dr. Crane
It’s a celtic symbol. It means Samhain.
Deputy
You mean Halloween
Dr. Crane
No. For years Samhain has been mistaken for Halloween. Samhain really means “Night of the Sacrifice.” Twenty Four years ago a man named Chris James took that meaning too far. He killed his entire family and three of his friends. He also tried to kill some little kids.
Deputy
My god.
Dr. Crane
We buried his body and shot him many times but he kept coming. Finally we thought we killed him. Two days later in the morgue we couldn’t find his body.
Deputy
So is he dead or alive
Dr. Crane
Neither
Deputy
What?
Dr. Crane
He’s simply the living dead and he’s after your little town.
Deputy
How do we stop him?
Camera pans in as we wait for the answer
Dr. Crane (Worried look on face)
I don’t know.
Cut To: Int. House-Friday Night
Phone Ringing
Michelle answer the phone.
Michelle

Voice
Your worst nightmare.
Michelle
Oh Really.

I Need The Key.
Michelle
What key?
Chris James
Ask your parents Michelle. They’ll know. Tell them Mr. James sent you.
Ha Ha Ha Ha HA!
Michelle

Freak!
Michelle
(Runs Down Stairs)
Mom, Dad come here.
Sheriff (Dad)
What is it sweetie.
Michelle
Somebody just called and said they neede a key. I think his name was Mr. James.
Mom
What? Where did you here that?
Michelle
On the phone… just a few minutes ago.
Dad
I didn’t hear the phone ring.
Mom
Neither did I.
Michelle
Are you guys serious?
Mom and Dad Together
Yes. We didn’t hear any phone ringing.
Michelle
It doesn’t matter, but who the hell is Mr. James?
Mom
You don’t want to know.
Michelle
Yes I do.
Dad
We might as well tell her.
Mom
Fine but I won’t be part of it.
Mom walks out of the room.
Dad
Sit down Michelle
Michelle
(Sits Down)
Now, who is Mr. James.
Dad
His name is Chris James. About 24 years ago he kidnapped some tennagers and took them to his house in the woods. I think it was or it is close to the spot were all of your friends like to got to. Anyway, once we got the kids out of his house we took his key to the house and locked him I it and burned it down.
Michelle
Why the Hell didn’t you tell me about this?
Dad
I was hoping that if I didn’t tell you, you would never find out.
Dad walks over to a drawer.
Dad
This is the key to his house, and now he wants it back so he can start his terror all over again.
Cut To: Ext. of Michelle’s house.
Scottie, Jennifer, Jeff, Tommy, and Ashley are waiting for Michelle to get I the car.
Michelle
See ya later Daddy.
Dad
Please, be careful. He may be out there.
Michelle gets in the car and they drive off.
Jeff
The others will meet us there.
We follow the car until it reaches the woods. The car stops and the kids get out of the car.
Steve, Mark, Dusty, Chris, and Deacon
We’ll go get the firewood, you guys set up the camp, we’ll be back in a little bit.
They head off into the woods.
We see the others start to set up there tents then we…
Cut To: Group looking for the firewood
They walk forward about 20 feet and then suddenly we hear a loud crash behind them.
They turn around.
Mark
Holy Shit.
Dusty
Fuck Me
Deacon
Damn
We see a huge creepy mansion.
Steve
Dude, let’s go in.
Steve starts for the door and the others follow.
Steve opens the door slowly and everyone peeks their head in. All they see is darkness. All of them slowly enter and the door slams
Behind them. The lights flash on and they all are in different rooms. The walls start to shake as the camera cuts back and forth between all of their rooms. We see axes in each of the rooms fly off the wall and kill of Steve, Dusty, Chris, and Mark, almost simultaneously.
Cut To: Camp Site
Jeff and Jennifer are trying to sneak off.
Tommy
Where are you guys going?
Jeff
We’re just going for a walk.
Tommy
See you later then.
Taking a walk my ass.
Jeff and Jennifer are holding hands, walking slowly, and Jennifer looks up.
Jennifer
Shit
Jeff
What?
Jennifer
Look.
Jeff
What is that?
Jennifer
It looks like an abandoned mansion.
Let’s go in.
Jeff
I don’t think we should.
Jennifer
Oh, C’mon Chicken Shit.
I’ll let you fuck me in one of those rooms.
Jeff
Well, let’s go in.
They enter the house.
Jennifer
Hello. Anybody Home?
See there’s no one here.
She runs up the stairs. Jeff quickly starts after her.
Jennifer enters one of the rooms and takes off her clothes. She unbuttons and takes off Jeff’s pants and jumps on top of him. They do the hibbity dibbity. During Jennifer’s major orgasm we see Chris James appear behind them with an Iron Pipe and stabs it into them.
Cut To: Camp Site
Tommy
Hey, Scottie!
Scottie
Yeah.
Tommy
The others have been gone for awhile, I think we should go look for them.
Scottie
Yeah.
(Talking to Michelle)You wanna come with us baby.
Michelle
Yeah, Sure.
Scottie, Michelle, Ashley, and Tommy head off into the woods.
Ashley
I wonder where they all went?
We hear a loud evil laugh.
Tommy
What was that?
Scottie (turns)
I think it came from that house.
Ashley
What house?
Tommy
That one.
Ashley
I bet that’s where they are.
Scottie
Let’s go see if that’s where they are.
Tommy
Come on then.
Scottie and Tommy break down the door and the 4 teens enter.
Scottie and Michelle go one way and Tommy and Ashley go the other way.
The camera scans through the house and we…
Flash Cut To:
Scottie and Michelle getting close to the room where Jeff and Jennifer were. They slowly walk towards the room. They enter and see the dead bodies still in the same position that we last saw them in.
Michelle Screams Loudly.
Tommy and Ashley come rushing in.
Ashley Screams Loudly.
A trap door on the floor opens and they all fall through.
They all land bruised but still alive.
Ashley
Where are we?
Tommy
I don’t know.
Suddenly Chris James appears before them.
Chris James
You see Michelle, all you had to do was bring me the key and none of your friends would’ve died.
Tommy out of nowhere stabs Chris with his Iron Pipe.
Chris falls to the ground.
Tommy goes for the kill but Chris fades away.
Tommy
The stairs to get outta here are over there. You guys get out and I’ll finish this fucker off.
Ashley
No, Come with us.
Tommy kisses Ashley.
Tommy
Scottie, make sure you get them out safe.
Scottie drags Ashley along.
Ashley
Come on. Come with us.
Tommy
I’ll be right behind you.
P.O.V. Outside
We see the three teens coming out of the cellar door.
Scottie
He’ll be ok Ash.
Cut Back To: Tommy
Tommy walks forward and enters through a barred door.
He turns a little bit and…
Tommy’s P.O.V we see Chris James standing with his back to us.
Tommy takes an ax off the wall and holds it up high in the air behind Chris James.
Tommy
Die, you son of a bitch.
Tommy swings the ax and knocks Chris’ mask a shirt to the floor. They were hanging from the ceiling. Chris has de-robed from his mask and shirt.
Tommy
Where are you, you bastard.
P.O.V. on Tommy
We see a dark figure moving up behind Tommy
The figure picks up the ax.
Tommy turns around with a super shocked look on his face.
The figure swings the ax and cuts Tommy’s head off.
We pan around to see that the person holding the ax is Deacon.
Deacon has a crazed look on his face and starts an evil laugh as he looks down at Tommy’s body. Deacon who still has the look on his face looks up at us staring for a second and then begins his evil laugh again as we…
