Halloween H20 Page #13

Molly gives Keri a hug...

KERI:

Something tells me I won't get the

same reaction when I tell John...

The two are completely unaware of...

THE SHAPE:

watching from the thicket, the moonlight reflected off his

pale white mask.

CUT TO:

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - ESTABLISHING - MORNING

STUDENTS scurry from their dorms to the adjacent school

building, racing to make it to their a.m. classes on time...

SUPER the legend: "October 31st. Halloween."

INT. GYMNASIUM - MORNING

A group of students take laps in the indoor swimming pool

beneath the retracted gymnasium floor.

The gym is decorated for the Halloween festival that night...

Their coach, MRS. ROCKWELL, supervises from poolside, whistle

dangling around her neck.

ON Molly, Linda, and SARAH LOCKE, the resident gossip with

beauty pageant good looks, as they complete their final lap.

They congregate in the shallow end, their goggles perched on

their heads...

MOLLY:

I feel like everyone's staring at

me.

SARAH:

News travels fast. It's all over

school about you and John getting

busted in the woods by Miss Tate.

LINDA:

Don't suppose you had anything to

do with that, motor mouth.

SARAH:

Shut up, freak.

Mrs. Rockwell blows her WHISTLE... the girls in the pool wait

for her instruction.

MRS. ROCKWELL

Alright, I know you girls have the

big Halloween dance tonight, so

I'm letting you go ten minutes

early today.

LINDA:

(under her breath)

How generous of her.

Molly, Linda, and Sarah start to climb out of the pool...

MRS. ROCKWELL

Sarah, since you took it upon

yourself to arrive ten minutes

late today, you can stay the extra

ten minutes.

SARAH:

But Mrs. Rockwell...

MRS. ROCKWELL

Use the time to practice your

drive. You looked real sloppy out

there today.

LINDA:

Ooooh, busted.

MOLLY:

Big time. And news travels fast.

Wouldn't be surprised if the whole

school knows about this one by

tonight.

Sarah flips them the finger...

SARAH:

Smile at the birdie, ladies.

Molly and Linda head toward the locker room...

LINDA:

Sarah Locke. What a major b*tch.

You know she waxes her stomach?

Molly and Linda exit the gymnasium...

ON Sarah as she climbs out of the pool... walks to the diving

board on the other end of the deserted gym... places the

goggles over her eyes...

She dives into the water... swims underwater toward the

shallow end... she heads toward the surface...

SARAH POV:

The SHAPE is standing poolside... his image warped by the

rolling water, bobbing and swaying with the current.

Sarah breaks through the surface of the water, catches her

breath... throws off her goggles, scans the gym...

ANGLE ON THE GYMNASIUM

Empty. Not a soul in sight.

Sarah shrugs it off, climbs back out of the pool... heads for

the diving board...

She dives into the water... as she emerges in the shallow end

the lights in the gym extinguish... leaving her in darkness.

SARAH:

(calling out)

Hey! There's someone in here!

No response. Sarah moves toward the stairs...

SARAH:

(continuing)

Hell-o! I'm in here!

She grabs the railing, starts to pull herself out of the

pool, when suddenly...

THE SHAPE GRABS HER BY THE NECK.

Pushes her back into the pool... holds her head under the

water... her arms flail wildly as she struggles for breath...

The Shape flashes a knife... slices into flesh...

Sarah's body goes limp... the SHAPE releases her... her

lifeless body floats face down in the bloody water.

WIDE OF THE GYMNASIUM

The SHAPE has disappeared from view.

CLANG-CLANG-CLANG.

The gym floor begins to close over the pool, covering the

floating corpse inside of it.

CUT TO:

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - DAY

Keri moves across campus, notices --

THE MASSIVE WROUGHT IRON GATES

open to the single lane road exiting the school.

Keri eyes the GUARDHOUSE that sits at the entrance, indignant.

INT. GUARD HOUSE

Keri enters, the guard house is empty...

KERI:

(calling off)

Hattie?

She's nowhere in sight...

KERI:

(continuing)

Now where is she?

Keri pushes a BUTTON on the console in front of her.

THE GATES:

slowly begin to close...

KERI:

exits the guard house, closes the door behind her... heads

back to the school.

CLOSE ON:
A COFFEE MUG

sits on the console, filled with a deep red liquid...

PLOP!

A drop of blood falls from

THE CEILING:

Blood soaks the drop-ceiling... Hattie's corpse hidden from

view.

CLANG!

The GATES SHUT tight...
