INT. ADULTERER'S HOUSE -- DAY

Adulterer holds a shattered PICTURE of his wife and two kids.

He sighs and puts it down.

ADULTERER:

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

He moves from the room.

EXT. IGA (GROCERY STORE) -- DAY

The sun shines bright in the cloudless sky.

There is a stiff wind that stirs up the snow, creating tall

snow banks.

Tuffy's car slowly lurches up the street. Again, she slowly

rolls the radio dial. Again, static.

Click! She turns the radio off.

INT. TUFFY'S CAR -- CONTINUOUS

They skeptically look at the surroundings.

HEROINE:

It's right up there, in the back of

the store.

EXT. IGA (GROCERY STORE) -- CONTINUOUS

The car pulls up around to the back of the store and stops.

They get out of the car with their weapons in their hands

and look around.

They see ROADIE'S TRUCK, but no sign of him.

Look inside the truck. Nothing there.

POP! A hand GRABS Tuffy. It's Adulterer.

ADULTERER:

(hands up)

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.

HEROINE:

Where is everyone?

ADULTERER:

I don't know, I just got here. Did

you find your girl?

TUFFY:

She's supposed to already be here.

They move forward.

TUFFY:

Your family?

Adulterer shakes his head, acknowledging their death.

TUFFY:

I'm sorry.

ROADIE (O.S.)

Hey!

They all look and see Roadie trotting toward them with a jug

of GASOLINE in hand.

He waves to them.

They all smile and move towards him.

ROADIE:

I'm glad to see you! This is a ghost

town!

(to Heroine)

Did you find your girl?

Heroine sighs.

ADULTERER:

(pointing)

Over there!

They all look over to the ENTRANCE to the shelter and see

CHARLIE lurking in the doorway.

HEROINE:

Charlie!

She RUNS to her and the others follow.

Charlie moves awkwardly back into the SHADOWS of the doorway.

HEROINE:

Charlie!

Just as Heroine is about to enter the doorway, Roadie LUNGES

forward and stops her with his arm.

ROADIE:

Hold it!

A concerned look comes over her face as she tries to get by

Roadie.

HEROINE:

Honey!?

Just as Heroine enters the doorway, she looks down. A STREAM

OF BLOOD flows towards her. She looks up.

Charlie's body LURCHES back a bit further, yet her feet don't

move, they just SLIDE.

CHARLIE'S EYES ARE BULGED.

HEROINE:

CHARLIE? CHARL --

RAAAHH! The burned, one-eyed MOMMA BEAST lunges at her

FROM BEHIND CHARLIE'S DEAD BODY!

HEROINE:

NOOOOO!

Roadie pulls Heroine back!

Momma Beast HISSES as it removes its PUPPETEERING CLAWS from

the back of Charlie's head.

The limp body DROPS.

Momma Beast raises its BLOODY CLAWS at them.

It CAN'T leave the dark shadows.

ADULTERER:

Back up!!!

Heroine screams as the others pull her back.

HEROINE:

Charlie! Charlie! No!

Horror fills her eyes as she tries to hold up her shotgun.

Suddenly, the SUNLIGHT starts to FADE.

They look up at the SUN.

TUFFY:

Oh god.

The MOON moves in front of it -- a SOLAR ECLIPSE.

The sunlight is quickly fading.

We start to hear the Beasts FLUTTERING around them.

Heroine looks from left to right, panic stricken.

Demonic eyes lurk in the shadows.

The sunlight is almost gone.

Heroine raises her shotgun.

The sun is GONE.

Momma Beast appears from the dark doorway and spreads its

vast wings. It releases an EAR-SHATTERING SCREAM.

The group HUDDLES together with their weapons RAISED. Tuffy

screams as a CLOUD OF BEASTS emerge from the shadows to ENGULF

them.

Heroine SPINS and FIRES.

IRIS TO BLACK:

HOLD BLACK FOR A SECOND

OPEN IRIS TO:

GUN FIRE, BLOOD, GUTS, CARNAGE, CHAOS...

IRIS TO BLACK:

ROLL FINAL CREDITS

THE BEGINNING:

or

DESPITE THE OMINOUS LAST IMAGES, THEY SURVIVE

NOTE:
After the credits, we wander through the smoking

wreckage of the United Nations Tavern. It is destroyed except

for one table and two chairs.

We creep up the table legs to see Grandpa and Grandma,

unscathed, each sipping a drink.

SQUEAK-SQUEAK! The Little Mouse from the basement climbs up

on top of the table. The elderly couple stop drinking and

look at the tiny animal.

GRANDPA:

Well, I'll be damned...
