The ABCs of Death Page #4

Synopsis: The ABC's OF DEATH is an ambitious anthology film featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children's educational ABC books, the motion picture is comprised of 26 individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death. Provocative, shocking, funny and ultimately confrontational; THE ABC's OF DEATH is the definitive snapshot of the diversity of modern horror. Drafthouse Films, Magnet Pictures and Timpson Films are proud to present this alphabetical arsenal of destruction orchestrated by what Fangoria calls "a stunning roll call of some of the most exciting names in horror across the world."

It's the last frame

of the animation I've been

working on, remember?

- Animation?

- Yeah.

We weren't even supposed

to have animation.

Well, I thought we talked

about a bunch of different

ideas, remember?

Look at this list of,

err, 'w's I got here.

Oh my god, what the

f*** is wrong with you?

We're gonna get this

done. Hold on, it's a--

- Why do you do this?

- Here's the thing, walrus,

It's like a godzilla-walrus.

It's a city--

people are being destroyed,

you pan over, it's a walrus.

- Tommy:

Ok? - Man:
'w.'

- Ok, do you have a city?

- No.

- Do you have a guy

in a walrus

outfit? - No.

- Can you do

that by this

weekend? - No.

( shouts )

well, what the f*** are

you talking about then?

- Man:
Warrior.

- Man #2:
Super hot chick.

She's just killed a bunch of,

like... Trolls?

Alright, whatever,

she's covered in blood.

Ok. Let's do that.

Lets do that this weekend.

I'm not sure that

I want to do that one.

I'm just saying it's an idea...

Man #2:
W' is

for wheelchair.

It's an old man.

An evil old man.

He's in the wheelchair--

everybody hates old people.

- He gets pushed off

a f***ing cliff.

- ( screams )

I got it-- ummm...

I got-- I got nothing.

You guys! You gotta

come to the conference room.

Come on, you gotta see this!

Man on tv:

Nancy, I'm coming to you

from downtown hollywood,

And I've got to tell you,

some of the strangest things

I have ever seen...

- Oh f***, what's going on?

- ...Are going on right now.

If you can see,

over my head,

The most oddest looking

colored gases.

Uh, they're like chemtrails,

I guess,

And they seem to be followed

by other planes and copters,

and a general sense...

- 'w'!

- ...Of panic seems

to have hit the area.

Believe it or not, nancy,

we're actually getting reports

Of people seeing

clown zombies in the streets.

F***in' clown zombies?

That's f***ing stupid!

What are they looking for?

Magnets? 'w'? I just...

Is that a 'w' on there?

What's up with these 'w's?

Is this some kind of

self-fulfilling prophecy,

As we watch the horror

Of our own minds

Pushing humanity

toward extinction?

Can we live in a world

That is more immoral

than our own brains,

- Our own ideas...

- No! Don't open the door!

We live in a process

that is already infested,

Already mutated,

already over!

- Already blank...

- ( screaming )

...From a wave

of congealed confidence!

( echoing )

my elbows are untouchable!!

My elbows are sharp!!

I am transparent.

I am solid in the form

of this new liberty reborn!

You are invisible

in this new world!

I hover above you...

Above as below.

I am legion.

A traced mindfuck

of a billion bombs

Dropping on your

fired synapses,

Your tired synapses!

You are inserted,

digested, gestated!

Lie in the waste

of your own vision,

Gutter punks to bigger words

that you ate years ago!

That you tasted

and shat upon years ago!

That you chewed

and corrupted after the seeds

were buried long ago!

I am the one

with seven heads!

I am the thing that laughs!

I am the thing

that waits... For you!
