WITCH'S GATE
Written by
Christopher VanAlstine
EXT. PORCH - NIGHT
Rain beats down on the porch rooftop of a large rustic cabin.
The rain is loud but it cannot drown out the louder music and
shouts of the youths inside. ABBEY, a 20 something slightly
overweight goth chick with a hoodie pulled over her head,
curls up on the stone ledge of the porch. She flips through
the pages of a tattered old paperback novel.
ABBEY:
(sarcastically)
Could this night get any better!
A howling gust of wind blows rain in towards her soaking her
novel.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
(screaming)
Are you f***ing kidding me! That
does it!
Abbey drops the novel onto the porch revealing the name of
it, The Witches of Greenmount Manor, and a post it taped to
it which reads “don’t f***ing touch, belongs to Abbey Berg”
.
She jumps off the ledge, throws back her hoodie and races
towards the cabin door.
As she reaches the door it swings open and forces her to
dodge it but instead she falls to the ground.
A large group of 20 somethings rush past her, down the steps
and towards a number of cars strewn across the driveway.
REBECCA:
(O.S.)
I don't know why we have to leave a
perfectly decent place to go to
some nasty dank hole in the middle
of nowhere!
REBECCA, a 20 something heavily made up gorgeous blonde in a
skin tight shirt and low cut skirt, and JAKE, a 20 something
jock in a football jacket, walk through the door.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
We have electricity and a place to
disgusting creatures crawling
around my feet.
(notices Abbey)
Speaking of disgusting creatures!
Abbey gives Rebecca the finger.
JAKE:
Come on Becky....
REBECCA:
(angrily interrupting)
It's Rebecca! How many times do I
have to tell you!
JAKE:
Sorry Rebecca! You know my parents
are going to be coming here in the
morning and if they see a war zone
then they're gonna lose it. If
that happens you can be sure the
party they’re letting me have at
the end of the year is definitely
not gonna happen.
Jake jumps the entire stairs and swings around. Rebecca stops
at the top with a huge frown on her face and her arms folded
sternly.
REBECCA:
But why way up there? It's going
to be filthy with all sorts of
revolting bugs! Why can’t we have
it at one of your stupid friend’s
houses? I don't give a f*** if they
get in trouble.
JAKE:
It's going to be awesome babe! We
went up there this morning and
cleaned it all up nice and set up
lights and an awesome sound system.
I promise you it'll be great!
Rebecca walks down the steps and shoves past Jake.
REBECCA:
Fine, but the first spider I see
I'm getting the f*** out of there!
JAKE:
Yes! You won't be sorry!
Jake rushes after her towards an old suped up truck. Rebecca
hurries towards the passenger side while Jake goes for the
driver's side.
REBECCA:
Uhm Jake, what the f*** do you
think you're doing?
Jake pauses at his door and quickly runs around to the
passenger side. He opens the door for Rebecca and helps her
into the truck.
JAKE:
Sorry babe.
REBECCA:
You better be!
Jake runs back around to the driver's side and jumps in. He
rolls the window down and shouts at Abbey.
JAKE:
Hey Abbey come on!
REBECCA:
Just leave her! Nobody wants her
there anyways.
JAKE:
She’s my cousin so she’s coming
with us whether you like it or not.
REBECCA:
Fine! whatever!
(leans across Jake)
Get your fat ass in the truck!
Abbey picks herself up off the porch. She reaches down, grabs
her novel and stuffs it into her back pocket.
ABBEY:
I can just crash here for the
night. Not really feeling it.
REBECCA:
You'll feel my foot up your ass if
you don't get the f*** in the
truck.
JAKE:
You’re not staying here by
yourself. Besides, I’ll make sure
you have a blast!
ABBEY:
Fine.
Abbey hurries towards the passenger side of the truck.
INT. TRUCK - NIGHT
Abbey opens the passenger door but Rebecca raises her hand to
stop her from jumping into the truck.
REBECCA:
Oh no, you get in the back! There's
not enough room up here for you.
JAKE:
She's sitting up here with us! It’s
raining too hard for her to sit
back there.
REBECCA:
Why do you always make things so
difficult for me! Fine get in!
Abbey climbs into the truck as Rebecca pushes roughly up
against Jake.
JAKE:
Oh my god its only going to be like
10 minutes!
REBECCA:
(smirks)
I guess it makes sense. With me
over here with Jake and you way
over there maybe the truck will be
better balanced!
ABBEY:
Such a b*tch.
REBECCA:
(screaming)
What did you just say?
JAKE:
Can we please just have a truce for
the ride there? Then you can stay
out of each other’s faces for the
rest of the night.
REBECCA:
Fine but if I see her ugly face
just once then all bets are off!
ABBEY:
Same!
Jake turns on the stereo and blasts out some heavy metal.
Rebecca switches the station to some pop type music.
REBECCA:
Why do you always play that crap.
You know I hate it.
Abbey reaches over and turns the station back to the metal
song.
ABBEY:
Sounds good to me.
REBECCA:
(in shock)
Are you gonna let her do that?
JAKE:
Uhm, democracy rules?
REBECCA:
Whatever!
Rebecca sits back and crosses her arms in anger. Jake and
Abbey share a secret smile as he punches the gas pedal.
EXT. CABIN DRIVEWAY - NIGHT
Jake’s truck is the last to leave the cabin. The rain makes
the grass slick which causes the truck to spin but once it
hits the gravel it throws it into the air and the truck pulls
forward like a shot.
EXT. AERIAL VIEW OF ROAD - NIGHT
Jake's lone truck snakes along the road while up ahead other
vehicles turn off the main road and continue up an
unmaintained dirt road.
EXT. DIRT ROAD/GATED DRIVE - NIGHT
The rain slowly dissipates as Jake’s truck catches up to some
of the slower moving vehicles. They turn off onto a driveway
and pass through a pair of rusted out gates with the name
Greenmount on it and a huge no trespassing sign underneath
it.
INT. JAKE'S TRUCK - NIGHT
Abbey leans forward in her seat and looks distressed at the
name of the gate and the surrounding area.
ABBEY:
What are we doing here? We
shouldn't be here! This isn't a
place to f*** with.
REBECCA:
We finally agree on something.
JAKE:
No way man, this place is so cool
and with the rain stopping, it’s
gonna be the perfect party!
ABBEY:
But what happened here! It’s not
right.
Abbey pulls out the book. She flips through the pages to
locate a specific passage.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Three sisters were brutally
murdered here for practicing a
peaceful way of life.
JAKE:
They were killed for being witches
right?
Rebecca grabs the book and tosses it to the ground.
REBECCA:
All I know is witches be b*tches.
Remember that Blair Witch chick?
She was one scary broad.
ABBEY:
That's a totally inaccurate way to
describe them. They were just
innocent girls who didn’t know what
they were doing.
JAKE:
Doesn't matter cause we're here.
Rebecca reaches over Abbey and thrusts open the door. She
shoves Abbey out of the truck.
REBECCA:
And now it's time for me to become
one with a bottle of vodka. Get the
f*** out!
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Greenmount Manor, an immense stone building, is lit up by
dozens of flood lights inside and out. Moss and vines creep
up the walls and deep into the windows that have been smashed
out.
Cars litter the unkempt lawn. Young partiers move about the
yard. Some consume large quantities of alcohol, some toss a
football and frisbee around and others dance in their own
little groups. Their loud rambunctious voices almost drown
out the noise of a distant generator.
Jake jumps out of the driver’s side while Rebecca pushes past
Abbey. A group of jocks instantly converge on Jake with high
fives and back slaps. A group of attractive girls scream
gleefully and rush towards Rebecca. They give each other fake
kisses and sip out of their flavored drink. Abbey reaches
back into the truck, grabs her book and walks towards a
nearby table of booze.
The voices of the two groups merge into a jumble of football
hype and how beautiful everyone looks.
ETHAN, a 20 something very large fat guy, runs up and gives
Jake an immense bear hug.
ETHAN:
Who's gonna win tomorrow night?
JAKE:
We are Big E! Right guys?
The group of guys shout in agreement and down as much beer as
they can. One of the guys hands Jake a beer and he attempts
to drink it but most of it splashes over him and Ethan.
JAKE (CONT’D)
Okay Ethan buddy let me down.
you're breaking my back.
Ethan sets him down and rushes towards the house.
ETHAN:
Hawks rule!
The rest of the group wander over towards the house. GREG, a
20 something blond jock, rests his arm over Jake’s shoulders.
GREG:
Why did you let that fat nerd join
the football team?
JAKE:
Cause he's a f***ing juggernaut! He
can block 2 guys himself and if he
gets going he can plow through
anybody we go up against. And he's
actually a nice guy if you take the
time to get to know him.
GREG:
Dude if you weren't banging the
hottest girl in school I'd say you
were so f***ing gay.
JAKE:
Greg, you are so f***ing jealous!
GREG:
Yes, yes i am!
JAKE:
(laughing)
Of her!
GREG:
Whatever! Your boss and her
groupies are coming and I'm outta
beer so I’m outta here. Lets go
guys!
The group of guys rush in the opposite direction of the group
of girls. They converge at a cooler of beers. They all cheer
victorious and head in multiple directions to enjoy different
factions of partygoers.
Greg saunters over to a car that just arrives. The window
rolls down and Greg pops his head inside.
Rebecca and her group of followers reach Jake. Rebecca twirls
a bottle of vodka in her hand.
REBECCA:
Not gonna hang with all your dumb
dumb friends.
The girls all laugh at Rebecca's weak attempt at humor.
JAKE:
We're not all as stupid as you
think.
REBECCA:
Oh I don't think you're stupid...
yet.
(MORE)
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Keep allowing those bozos to let
the other teams smoke you in the
head a few more times and you might
end up like them. Come on girls, I
need way more booze to enjoy this
loser party.
A loud cheer screams from the girls followed by giggles as
they follow Rebecca into the house.
Abbey strolls up to a flustered Jake with two plastic cups of
beer. She hands a beer to Jake and they walk towards the
main entrance.
ABBEY:
I don't get it.
She pauses and chugs the beer. Jake looks at her with
confusion on his face.
JAKE:
Ok... what don't you get?
Abbey finishes off the beer and wipes the foam mustache from
her upper lip.
ABBEY:
You're a cool guy! Liked by
everyone from dweeb to jock and you
actually like them back. Yet here
you are dating queen b*tch of b*tch
nation!
JAKE:
(laughs)
She's not that bad!
ABBEY:
Yes she is! She's the bully of the
school which technically should be
your job by the way. She's the one
sticking the goth chicks heads in
toilets and here you are high
fiving the fat nerdy guy who you
got on the football team.
JAKE:
Ok she's a bit of a b*tch but I
have my reasons.
ABBEY:
Please enlighten me so I can
understand your insanity.
JAKE:
(laughing)
Well her family is kinda rich...
ABBEY:
Well duh, so why is she with your
poor ass?
JAKE:
Because I'm the captain of the
football team and she needs to be
seen with me.
ABBEY:
That doesn’t mean you have to be
with her though.
JAKE:
Like I was saying her family is
rich and her dad contributes a lot
of money to the college. He kinda
has to cause Rebecca isn't exactly
as smart as she lets on so the only
way for her to get "good" grades is
boyfriend gives me a few perks as
well.
ABBEY:
Omg your an evil little bugger
after all! What kind of perks are
we talking about?
JAKE:
He bought the new team bus and we
stay at the best hotels when we go
on away games. This party is
sponsored by daddy dearest even
though he doesn’t know it. And the
best part is my sweet ass truck!
ABBEY:
you’ve had that truck for years.
Way before college.
JAKE:
Yeah but it was a piece of junk
back then and I am a sh*t mechanic!
You know I’m just a dumb jock! Her
daddy got the auto shop to give it
a face lift but I’m pretty sure it
was because Becky didn’t want to be
seen in a piece of sh*t!
ABBEY:
Sneaky! anything else?
JAKE:
When I graduate I've already got a
job lined up for me at her dad’s
company.
ABBEY:
Nice! Wait a minute, that means
you’re stuck with her for the long
haul.
JAKE:
Only time will tell. Maybe I’ll get
lucky and she’ll smack her head and
her whole personality will change.
ABBEY:
That’s gonna have to be some pretty
severe blunt force trauma to change
that b*tch’s personality.
JAKE:
Again hopefully I’ll get lucky.
ABBEY:
Good luck with that! High fives for
good lives!
Abbey raises her hand to high five Jake but Greg and SYLVIE,
a hot chick with very revealing big breasts, push through
them knocking Abbey to the ground as they head towards the
house.
GREG:
Outta the way fatso I'm on a
mission.
JAKE:
(yelling )
You don't always have to be an
a**hole!
GREG:
But it's so much fun!
Greg tries to turn but the girl pulls him towards the house.
Jake reaches down and helps Abbey to her feet.
JAKE:
Sorry Abbey. I try to get these
guys to see that they're being
jerks but they just don't care.
ABBEY:
(dusting herself off)
No worries. It's the story of my
life. They'll eventually figure it
out or definitely get what's coming
to them. Hopefully I'll be around
to see it.
Abbey and Jake disappear into the manor.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
A large room, lit by various work lights on tripods, is
packed with young partygoers. There is a dj with large
speakers centered between tables filled with kegs and various
bottles of alcohol. Ragged couches and chairs line the walls.
Greg and Sylvie push through the crowd of partygoers.
SYLVIE:
Where are we going? I wanna dance!
GREG:
I have a little surprise for you!
They escape the throng of dancers and make it to a flight of
stairs that descend into darkness.
SYLVIE:
I don't want to go down there! It's
probably covered in spiders!
GREG:
Don't worry Sylvie, we cleaned it
up pretty good. You're gonna love
it!
Greg switches on the flashlight app on his phone and they
slowly make their way down the still dim looking staircase.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BASEMENT - NIGHT
Dank looking basement dimly lit by candles. 3 stoners chill
on makeshift benches made out of cinder blocks and lumber.
Smoke fills the air from the joint being passed around. Metal
music screams from a tiny little bluetooth speaker.
Greg and Sylvie enter through a door and Sylvie coughs
uncontrollably from the smoke.
SYLVIE:
(through coughs)
I'm not loving this!
GREG:
Not this baby. Just a little
further.
Greg grabs Sylvie's hand and drags her through the smoke,
past the stoners and further down the room until they come to
a pile of junk and a large dresser up against the wall.
SYLVIE:
(sarcastically)
Oh baby this is so romantic!
GREG:
(slight irritation)
Could you just wait a goddamned
minute I'm trying to be romantic.
SYLVIE:
Excuse me? You do not talk to me
like that! Unless you want me to go
back upstairs and find a man that
knows how to treat me right!
GREG:
Baby I'm sorry! I'm just so excited
about this surprise.
SYLVIE:
Well it better be good! And I
better not get any dirtier than I
am.
GREG:
(winking)
I'm hoping you get a lot dirtier!
SYLVIE:
(rolls her eyes)
Omg!
Greg laughs then pushes the dresser out of the way. This
reveals a small dark tunnel.
SYLVIE (CONT’D)
Uhm is this safe?
GREG:
I've already been down here and
checked things out. It's all good!
You'll love it!
SYLVIE:
Just remember. I see one spider and
I am out of here.
They enter the tunnel and disappear into the darkness.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR CAVERN - NIGHT
Greg and Sylvie reappear into a candlelit cavern. The area is
barren of anything except for a blanket spread across the
floor with a picnic basket, a variety of foods, a bottle of
wine and two glasses
SYLVIE:
Well aren't you the smoothest.
GREG:
I told you that you'd love it. Now
come here and thank me.
Greg pulls Sylvie into his arms and they start to kiss. He
pushes her up against the wall. Sylvie tries to push him
away but Greg holds her tighter.
SYLVIE:
Hey now. How about we have a little
of what you brought for us to
drink.
GREG:
How about you have a little bit of
what’s in my pants!
Greg becomes a bit more aggressive. breasts and roughly fondles it.
He grabs one of Sylvie's
SYLVIE:
Ok that's enough. I think we should
get back upstairs!
GREG:
You're always saying that! You get
me all hard and then you f***ing
turn me down. Not this time.
Greg reaches down and starts to pull up Sylvie's blouse.
Sylvie screams and slaps him hard.
SYLVIE:
I said no!
Greg pulls away holding his cheek.
GREG:
You f***ing b*tch! I'm so done with
you! Go find some other guy to give
blue balls too!
SYLVIE:
(fixing her clothes)
Maybe I will!
GREG:
Good!
Greg goes to the opposite wall and in a rage punches it
several times. The punches loosen the sand and some of it
falls to the ground. After his vicious attack on the wall
Greg turns around, walks to the blanket and begins to pack
everything up.
GREG (CONT’D)
I'll go find someone who will
appreciate this.
Sylvie ignores him as she looks past him at the wall he just
punched.
SYLVIE:
What's that?
GREG:
(not looking)
What's what? Never mind I don't
give a f***!
Greg continues to pack up the food. Sylvie walks past him.
She reaches the wall that has revealed half a wooden crate
standing upright. A thick strand of silver chain wraps around
the crate.
SYLVIE:
This looks really old. Maybe worth
a lot of money.
Sylvie touches the chain.
INT. DARKNESS
Pitch black then a pair of dark evil female eyes open.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
Abbey sits on the arm of a tattered old sofa. She holds her
book in one hand and slowly sips a beer from the other. She
sees the eyes in her mind and drops both book and beer.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR CAVERN - NIGHT
Sylvie pulls on the chain but it doesn’t break. She braces
one leg against the wall and pulls harder. The chain drags
the crate further out from within the wall but still does not
break. Determined, Sylvie gives it one final quick pull and
the chain snaps. The crate teeters, stays up right but
continues to sway back and forth.
SYLVIE:
(to herself)
At least I’m getting something out
of this wasted night.
GREG:
What was that?
SYLVIE:
Nothing.
GREG:
Good, keep it that way.
Sylvie gives Greg the finger, wraps up the chain and stuffs
it into the pocket of her tight jeans. She turns back to look
at the crate and it falls towards her. Sylvie attempts to
dodge the crate but it crashes down on top of her. The cover
of the crate bursts open to reveal a skeleton.
SYLVIE:
(flailing and screaming)
Help me!
Greg finally looks towards Sylvie and laughs at her
predicament.
GREG:
This looks like a you problem!
Maybe if you hadn’t been such a
b*tch then none of this would have
happened.
Greg grabs the basket and walks out of the cavern.
Sylvie continues to thrash beneath the crate. With every
motion the skeleton creeps slowly closer to her.
Flashes of three sets of eyes. First the dark evil eyes then
Abbey’s and then Sylvie's. They continue to flash many times
and as it does the dark evil eyes start to reveal a rotted
flesh face of a young woman who slowly smiles.
The crate finally breaks apart and the skeleton falls on top
of Sylvie. A transfer of energy occurs as the skeleton
transforms into a rotted flesh woman and then back to the
skeleton. Sylvie also transforms into a the rotted flesh
woman then back again.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
The partiers continue to dance and drink, oblivious to what
is about to happen.
ROTTING LADY:
(in Abbeys head)
We want you Abbey! Let us be....
one!
Abbey screams causing everyone to stop, look at her
strangely, then continue to party.
She pulls out her phone, taps the screen and sees no bars
displayed.
ABBEY:
F***! No signal! This is feeling
like it’s gonna be one f***ed up
horror movie.
Abbey grabs her book and pushes her way through the crowd.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR CAVERN - NIGHT
Sylvie lies under the destroyed crate. She doesn't move and
her eyes are closed. She starts to twitch and convulse but
then stops moving again. Suddenly her eyes shoot open wide,
black as night and a huge smile on her face.
Sylvie throws off the remaining debris and stands. She looks
down at herself and smiles at the near perfect body the demon
now possesses
SYLVIE:
(evil voice)
This will do nicely. For now.
Sylvie removes her tops as she walks towards the entrance.
She throws it on the ground as she disappears into the
tunnel.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BASEMENT - NIGHT
Back in the basement the music continues to blare and the
smoke fills the air even thicker than before.
Sylvia steps in front of the three very surprised stoners.
They stop what they are doing, jaws drop but quickly turn
into smiles. They whistle their approval.
Sylvie smiles back as she presses her breasts together and
unzips her jeans. She turns and slides them off, bending
straight legged so that the stoners get a good look at her
ass. She kicks her jeans at them.
STONER 1
Hey baby I didn't think I could get
any higher but you made me get a
lot higher!
Stoner 1 gives a humping motion in the air. The other stoners
laugh and high five each other.
Sylvie walks over to stoner 1 and grabs him by the balls.
She squeezes them tight and stoner 1 crumples to the ground.
Sylvie follows him down, balls still firmly grasped in her
hands.
SYLVIE:
It's been quite a while but I'm
sure I can do better than what
little you have to offer!
STONER 1
I’m sorry I’m sorry! Oh my god I’m
so sorry! I’ll be good just please
let my boys go!
The other stoners laugh at their friend as he squirms under
the tight grip of Sylvie.
STONER 2
Man you're definitely gonna have
some blue balls tonight!
STONER 3
Good thing you're high as a mother
f***ing kite cause you'd be in real
pain.
Sylvie releases her grip on Stoner 1 and walks towards the
stairs.
STONER 1
(groaned whisper)
Thank you.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR STAIRCASE - NIGHT
Greg slowly climbs the stairs. He drops things as he goes and
silently curses as he stops to pick them up.
A creaking sound echoes from below and Greg turns sharply and
drops even more stuff.
GREG:
Dammit! Who the hell's down there?
You’re making me drop my sh*t!
SYLVIE:
(from the darkness )
It's me baby!
GREG:
Sylvie? B*tch just leave me alone!
You've already screwed my night up
and not in a good way!
SYLVIE:
(O.S.)
I'm sorry baby! Let me make it up
to you!
GREG:
Yeah right, get lost!
SYLVIE:
(O.S.)
Are you sure that's what you want?
Sylvie climbs up and out of the shadows revealing her naked
body. Greg drops everything to the ground.
GREG:
Holy f***! What the hell? Back
there you were more than willing to
give me blue balls and now....
Sylvie reaches out and softly massages Greg's balls through
his pants.
SYLVIE:
(seductively)
I'm so sorry! I don't know what I
was thinking!
(MORE)
SYLVIE (CONT’D)
I might have been scared off by
such a big cock going into my tiny
wet p*ssy!
GREG:
(mouth drops and he
stammers)
Ye... yeah I... I can see that
happening!
SYLVIE:
How abut we do a little bit of
this.
Sylvie takes Greg's hand, pulls it to her mouth and sucks on
two finger. She moans as she licks the tips of Greg’s
fingers.
SYLVIE (CONT’D)
Then maybe you can put your big
thing in me here.
Sylvie turns around, arches her back and slides Greg's hand
down her back and between her legs.
Greg begins to turn red and starts to sweat.
GREG:
(stammering )
Ye... yeah sure thing!
Greg fumbles with his belt. Sylvie turns around and pulls his
hands up and cups her breasts.
SYLVIE:
Not so fast baby. I want a bit of
foreplay first! Get me real wet so
I can take it deep and hard. Kiss
me you sexy beast!
GREG:
You got it!
Greg pulls Sylvie in and kisses her like he has no clue as to
what he's doing. Sylvie closes her eyes in disgust.
SYLVIE:
(exaggerating)
Oh baby that's so hot! I think it's
time.
GREG:
Yeah time for my big dick!
SYLVIE:
(reveals black eyes)
No this!
Sylvie places her hands on Greg's face. The energy transfers
between the two and the demon possesses Greg.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Abbey runs out of the house but falls to the ground as she
feels the possession happen.
Flashes of the rotting flesh woman kissing Greg and then the
image changes to Sylvie kissing the rotting flesh woman.
She looks around in slow motion. All the partiers continue to
laugh and drink unaware of what Abbey sees.
ABBEY:
F*** f*** f***!
Abbey pulls out her phone and the display shows no signal
again.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
F*** some more!
Abbey looks around and then up at the house. The second story
has a huge lit up roof with a large deck which spans most of
the house. Partiers dance to the beat of two different songs
which blast from both ends of the deck. Some partiers puke
over the side and then laugh and high five their friends.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Ok am I really gonna run back in
there? I can just hear the audience
screaming. Don't go back in there
you fat dumb b*tch!
Abbey shakes her head then runs back into the house.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR STAIRCASE - NIGHT
Sylvia pulls away from Greg. A terrified look spreads across
her face as she looks into his pitch black eyes. Greg
sadistically grins at her.
SYLVIE:
What just happened to me? Something
was inside my head!
GREG:
That would be us! You're a pretty
young thing but we are thinking we
will need someone a bit stronger to
do what must be done.
Sylvia realizes that she is naked and covers her private
parts with her hands. She takes a step down the stairs.
Greg crouches down and picks up a broken bottle.
GREG (CONT’D)
This one wanted to be with you so
badly. We can feel the hatred for
your callous rejection of him. We
think we will give him one last
pleasure of putting something deep
inside of you.
Greg grabs Sylvia by the throat and brings her into him.
Greg releases his grip on Sylvia and she staggers back down a
couple of steps. The broken bottle juts out of her bloody
stomach. She holds her stomach as she cries out in pain.
SYLVIE:
(blood starts to flow
from mouth)
Gr...Greg? Why? Please help me!
GREG:
Of course babe! we will help you
end the pain!
Greg kicks Sylvie in the stomach where the bottle sticks out
of her. Blood sprays from the wound and Sylvie's mouth.
The powerful kick sends Sylvie down the stairs into the
darkness.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BASEMENT - NIGHT
The stoners smoke their joints. Stoner 1 rubs his sore
crotch.
A scream louder than the music comes from the staircase. They
pause and look into the darkened entrance.
Sylvia explodes out of the darkness. Her bloodied naked body
hits the floor and rolls to the center of the stoners. Her
body is a mangled heap as her lifeless eyes stare up at the
shocked stoners.
The stoners creep slowly towards Sylvie. She makes one last
involuntary motion and the stoners freak out and scurry
through the hole in the wall.
A loud crash and screams comes from within the hole and then
silence.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
Greg steps out from the staircase. He looks towards the
dancing partiers. Nate, a shaggy haired grunge looking dude,
pushes past him towards the stairs.
NATE:
Hey, you wanna stand around like a
idiot go do it against the wall
with the rest of the losers.
Greg turns to Nate just as Abbey enters the room and moves
through the crowd and through another doorway.
GREG:
What did you just say?
NATE:
(recognizing Greg)
Oh sh*t sorry dude. I didn't
realize it was you! We're cool
right?
Greg gets extremely close to Nate. Greg looks him up and down
then shakes his head and looks intensely into Nate’s eyes.
GREG:
Sorry "dude" we are not cool.
Greg grabs the guy by the head and twists it hard. A loud
cracking sound emanates from within Nate’s neck.
GREG (CONT’D)
Now we are cool.
Nate slumps to the ground and Greg kicks him down the stairs.
Greg closes the stairway door and reaches down and grabs a
iron doorstop. He bashes off the door knob making it
impossible to open the door.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SECOND STAIRCASE - NIGHT
Abbey breathes heavily as she races up the stairs. She pushes
past people that are making out, a guy that is too drunk to
stand and others that are descending the stairs.
ABBEY:
(to the kissing couple)
Oh please go about your business
right where everyone is trying to
get by!
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR HALLWAY - NIGHT
Abbey bursts into a second floor hallway. It is dimly lit
with very few people in it.
Abbey checks her phone which now displays a single bar.
ABBEY:
Now we're getting somewhere!
Abbey races down the hallway to where the door to the deck
is.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Greg exits the house and looks around at the chaos. People
urinate against trees, puke on the ground, toss garbage, make
out on the ground.
GREG:
Once we are whole we shall enslave
these pathetic creatures and watch
this world burn out of existence.
Greg senses something and turns his head upward towards the
deck of the house.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR DECK - NIGHT
The deck looks like it will fall off the side of the
building. The brickwork crumbles with the vibration of the
music and stomping feet. People dance, make out or puke over
the side. They groups together to take selfies, proof that
they were there at the party of the year.
Abbey throws open the door and swims through the waves of
partiers. Abbey looks at her phone with hope. Two bars
indicate a strong enough signal to make a call.
ABBEY:
F*** yeah!
Abbey opens her contacts list and scrolls down to the name
Cassandra. She puts the phone to her ear as she hears it
ring.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
You guys better not be high!
INT. MORT'S MELLOW MUNCHIES - NIGHT
Mort's is an after hours semi legal establishment that sells
baked goods with marijuana in it. The place is packed.
3 twenty something goth chicks sit in a booth. They all have
a hot beverage in front of them.
CASSANDRA, skinny as a rail, types one handed on a laptop
covered in demonic stickers. She slowly sips from her cup.
LUNA, a very overweight girl, devours a large pastry.
TABITHA, average size and appearance, sits bored slightly
away from the other two. She twirls her long black hair
between her fingers.
TABITHA:
Omg this is so boring! Why do we
have to do this every time we go
out now!
LUNA:
Cause these cakes are so good! Here
Tabitha have some.
Luna passes over her plate of pastry. Tabitha puts her hand
down and stops the plate’s progress.
TABITHA:
I don't want any of that sh*t!
LUNA:
But the weed makes it so good!
TABITHA:
And that's why you're so fat Luna!
You eat it, get high and repeat!
Luna puts her hands in her lap and looks down with a sad
expression on her face.
CASSANDRA:
Quit it Tabitha you know she tries
her best.
TABITHA:
Seriously Cassandra then why are we
always meeting here of all places.
Tabitha looks at the two girls in frustration. She realizes
she won’t win the argument.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Sorry Luna. It’s the boredom
talking. I just wish we did
something more exciting. Something
more meaningful.
LUNA:
That's ok. I know I shouldn't be
stuffing my face but it's so hard
sometimes. Maybe we should have
gone to that party instead of here.
CASSANDRA:
That might have been fun!
TABITHA:
Fun?! Seriously? They would have
laughed their asses off and then
probably strung us up like the
witches we pretend to be! Besides
we have no idea where it's
happening.
LUNA:
We're real witches.
TABITHA:
Why? Cause we dress like this?
Cause we listen to dark music?
Cause occasionally we recite spells
from a book Cassandra got off
Amazon?
CASSANDRA:
We do other stuff too.
TABITHA:
But we never take anything
seriously! We just.....
Cassandra's phone emits a dark ominous ringtone. Cassandra
reaches for her phone and sees Abbey’s name appear on the
screen.
CASSANDRA:
It's Abbey.
TABITHA:
Don't answer it!
CASSANDRA:
Why not?
TABITHA:
She'll want to hangout and there
should only be 3 in the group. You
know the rules!
CASSANDRA:
Says the “witch” who pretends to
read the foam in her caramel
macchiato.
Cassandra shakes her head, taps accept and puts the phone to
her head.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
Hey Abbey what's up?
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR DECK - NIGHT
Abbey stands by the edge of the deck. She leans out to get
the best signal possible.
ABBEY:
Cassandra thank god you answered! I
need you to to look something up
for me.
INT. MORT'S MELLOW MUNCHIES - NIGHT
Cassandra holds the phone to her head.
CASSANDRA:
Why call me? Can’t you just do it
yourself?
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR DECK - NIGHT
Abbey irritated by the response paces across the deck.
ABBEY:
Because I’m in the middle of
nowhere with barely a signal and I
don’t have time to waste sitting
around getting high and munching on
some edibles.
EXT. MORT'S MELLOW MUNCHIES - NIGHT
Cassandra pushes her cup and plate away and brings her laptop
closer to her.
TABITHA:
Is she being anal again?
CASSANDRA:
(putting hand over phone)
Be quiet! She needs me to look
something up!
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR DECK - NIGHT
Abbey pushed her way through partiers as she heads towards
the other side of the deck.
ABBEY:
I need you to search for anything
about Greenmount Manor. Something
strange just happened to me up
here!
INT. MORT'S MELLOW MUNCHIES - NIGHT
Surprise and fear flash across Cassandra's face. The other
girls give her a worried look.
CASSANDRA:
There’s some bad energy up there
and with your gifts you really
shouldn’t be anywhere near it.
LUNA:
(mouthful of pastry)
Where is she?
Cassandra puts up a finger to silence Luna.
CASSANDRA:
You need to get out of there fast!
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR DECK - NIGHT
Abbey looks questionably at nothing.
ABBEY:
What do you mean by “my gifts”?
Abbey looks down and sees Greg. Greg smiles and waves at her.
He then walks back towards the house.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Oh f*** I gotta go! I'll call you
back when I can!
Abbey cancels the call, puts her phone into her pocket and
shouts to get the partier's attention. Most stop to look at
ABBEY (CONT’D)
You have to get out of here! We're
all in danger!
GUY 2
(raises a beer to his
mouth )
Yeah! A danger of getting sober
because of your harsh vibes!
The crowd shouts in agreement. Abbey shakes her head and
pushes through the crowd.
ABBEY:
(under her breath )
Go ahead and die than you stupid
fucks!
INT. MORT'S MELLOW MUNCHIES - NIGHT
Luna and Tabitha look at Cassandra quizzically and
impatiently. Cassandra shouts into the phone. The other
patrons look her way but they are high and non
confrontational so they soon go back to what they were doing.
CASSANDRA:
Abbey don't hang up! You need to
know....
Cassandra grows silent as she sets her phone down on the
table. She looks at Luna and Tabitha with fear in her eyes.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
Abbey’s in trouble. She really
needs us!
LUNA:
(with mouth full)
What did she.....
CASSANDRA:
She's at Greenmount!
Luna chokes as she swallows wrong.
TABITHA:
Oh sh*t!
CASSANDRA:
Yeah oh sh*t! We gotta get up
there!
TABITHA:
Is that such a good idea?
LUNA:
Yeah that doesn't sound like one!
CASSANDRA:
You just said you were bored! That
we never do anything exciting. Well
this is definitely not boring so
we’re going and that's final!
Besides Abbey would do the same for
us!
TABITHA:
When I said exciting I didn’t mean
suicidal!
Cassandra stands up and rushes to the exit. She opens the
door and turns to her friends.
CASSANDRA:
(shouting)
Get your asses moving!
The two girls stand and rush to the door. Luna heads back to
the table and grabs what is left of her food.
They reach the door and pass through it. Tabitha shakes her
head at Luna who looks guiltily at her.
Cassandra exits after them and the door closes.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM- NIGHT
Abbey launches herself from the stairs into the large room
and barrels into Jake. Abbey freaks out and shoves him away
from her.
JAKE:
Whoa hold on a minute! What the
hell!
Abbey composes herself as much as she can.
ABBEY:
Sorry! There's something really
f***ed up happening here! We have
to get everyone out of here now
before it’s too late!
JAKE:
What are you talking about?
Everyone's having a great time!
What could go wrong?
ABBEY:
I told you before we shouldn't be
here and now I'm sure of it!
Greg enters from the main door of the house. He looks around
with a demented smile on his face.
Abbey sees Greg and pleads more with Jake.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
There's something wrong with Greg!
He's not himself anymore!
JAKE:
(laughing)
That's cause he’s probably more
wasted than usual!
ABBEY:
No, there's something inside of
him!
JAKE:
Yeah it's called vodka, beer and
whiskey!
ABBEY:
No look at him!
Abbey twists Jake around and points towards Greg.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Look at his face!
JAKE:
That's the face of someone who just
got laid! You're just jealous!
ABBEY:
I'm not f***ing jealous
JAKE:
(hands to mouth)
Hey Greg! I think Abbey wants you!
Greg looks towards the sound of his name. He smiles and
waves.
ABBEY:
(pulls him out of sight)
What are you doing?!
JAKE:
Oh I'm just f***ing with you! Greg
is a total a**hole and I'd never
even think of setting you guys up.
Greg walks towards Abbey and Jake. He pushes his way through
the dancing partiers.
ABBEY:
F***! He's coming this way!
JAKE:
He's probably just gonna brag about
getting into Sylvie's pants!
ABBEY:
You don't understand. I think
there's someone, something
possessing him!
JAKE:
Ok how much have you had to drink?
Your witchy stuff doesn’t really
interest me that much.
ABBEY:
I haven't been drinking! Ok that’s
a lie but I haven’t had that much
to drink! Please let's just get out
of here!
JAKE:
Not a chance! This is the best
party we've ever set up!
BETH, short buxom redhead, races up to Greg and wraps her
arms and legs around him
BETH:
I was hoping to see you tonight!
Can't wait for a repeat of last
week!
GREG:
(thinks of word to say)
Uhm yeah that was... awesome.
Uhm...
BETH:
It's Beth! Omg! I know you're a
player but it wasn't even a week
ago! I guess you’re too busy trying
for that tease Sylvia! I don’t mind
though, I can share!
GREG:
Yeah I guess. Well gotta go now see
you later.
Greg grabs her and pulls her off of him. He sets her to the
side of him and continues towards Abbey and Jake.
Beth grabs him by the hand and pulls him back towards her
BETH:
Oh no you don't! You owe me for
letting you do that dirty little
thing to me!
Greg turns with rage then calmness on his face.
GREG:
I said...
(smiles)
You can have me! You can have all
of me!
Beth jumps up and down and claps her hands in joy.
BETH:
Yay for me!!
Greg grabs Beth and brings her close to him. He kisses her
hard and pulls her back to the wall near a crumbling
fireplace. Greg’s eyes grow wide and black as the same
transfer of energy passes through him and into Beth.
Abbey grabs Jake's hand and points to Greg and Beth.
ABBEY:
F*** it's happening again!
Abbey bends over in pain and Jake sees exactly what Abbey
sees.
Jake sees Greg in his head, he sees Greg transform into the
rotting woman and then it flashes to Beth who then changes
into the rotting woman.
JAKE:
What the hell....
Jake pulls away from Abbey and falls back against the wall.
Abbey regains her senses.
ABBEY:
It was just as bad as last time!
JAKE:
What do you mean last time?!
ABBEY:
Never mind I'll tell you later!
First we have to help Greg!
JAKE:
But that thing was in him!
ABBEY:
And now it's not! Come on! And fyi,
don't let her touch you!
JAKE:
Why?
ABBEY:
Uhm duh!
JAKE:
Oh yeah! Living dead girl thing!
Greg staggers and drops to the ground. He shakes his head and
looks blurry eyed up at Beth. She crouches down and leans
into Greg. She grabs a fireplace poker off the ground.
BETH:
You did some nasty stuff to this
one! Putting that little thing of
yours in every part of her. You
made her hurt, made her cry, made
her choke! How about we make you
choke on this!
Beth thrusts the poker upwards into Greg's throat/jaw
stopping any screams from coming out.
Abbey and Jake stop in horror as they watch Beth kill Greg.
JAKE:
Why the f*** did she do that?!
ABBEY:
I don't know! She's a psycho! It’s
a psycho! It probably enjoys
killing! Maybe it gains the victims
powers! Again I have no f***ing
idea!
JAKE:
Well I'm not sticking around to
give “it” anymore pleasure!
ABBEY:
We have to! We’ve gotta figure out
how to stop it or it’s gonna keep
doing what it’s doing.
Beth licks the blood off of Greg’s chin then slips him the
tongue.
Beth pushes Greg over, stands and turns towards where Abbey
and Jake are. As she turns, she bumps into Will, a white
button up shirt preppy guy, who sips a beer slowly. Will
spills his beer all down his shirt
WILL:
Hey watch it!
Beth ignores him and continues to walk through the crowd.
WILL (CONT’D)
Stupid b*tch! You’re going to pay
through the nose for this!
Beth turns back towards Will and comes within inches of him.
WILL (CONT’D)
Are you deaf? I said you’re gonna
pay...
BETH:
Yes we heard you. You said through
the nose. Let us pay you now.
Beth drives her open palm up into Will’s nose. Blood sprays
all over the place as she continues to wail on his face
repeatedly.
Will falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Partiers
witness the brutal insanity and panic. They flee in all
directions creating their own carnage. They shove and trample
each other in their attempts to escape.
Beth hits the ground as multiple people kick her as they run
away.
Abbey and Jake are herded out of the large room by the crowd.
INT. LUNA’S JUNKER CAR- NIGHT
Luna’s car is a wreck of a small hatchback. The dash and
floor are strewn with food wrappers. Goth music blares from
the crappy speakers.
Luna drives with white knuckled fists on a pink frilly
steering wheel. Tabitha rides shotgun, her hand rests out the
window with a cigarette between two fingers. Cassandra sits
in the back with her laptop open on her lap.
TABITHA:
Could you possibly drive any
slower!
LUNA:
You know I’m nervous driving at
night. And I’ve asked you not to
smoke in my car. I don’t want it
smelling like an ashtray.
TABITHA:
I’m thinking the car can’t reduce
much more in value. And I think the
leftover food might make it smell
worse than my smoke.
Tabitha inhales a lung full of smoke and blows it towards
Luna. Luna chokes a bit and Tabitha laughs.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Who am I kidding, there’s never any
leftovers!
Luna sticks her tongue out at Tabitha. Cassandra stops typing
and swats Tabitha in the back of the head.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Hey!
CASSANDRA:
I told you to leave her alone!
TABITHA:
Ok! Geez I’ll stop! I was just
joking! Now what did you find?
CASSANDRA:
Not much more than what we already
know.
Cassandra turns the laptop so that Tabitha can see.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
The family was pretty wealthy. The
husband made loads in
import/export. He and his wife had
3 daughters. The wife liked to hold
extravagant parties and pretty much
left her daughters in the care of
their eccentric nanny who came from
some Eastern European country.
TABITHA:
Ok that’s the boring stuff. Let’s
hear the good stuff.
CASSANDRA:
Well that’s the reason why we need
to get there fast.
TABITHA:
That so called excitement you were
talking about?
LUNA:
I’m thinking we should just call
the cops. It’s their job to save
people not ours. If this is real I
don’t want to be anywhere near that
place.
TABITHA:
Well you’re scared of everything so
you don’t get a vote! Ok what else.
CASSANDRA:
This nanny was rumored to be some
kind of supernatural being. It was
said she’d take the girls deep into
the woods and have freaky rituals.
TABITHA:
Sounds like my kind of nanny.
CASSANDRA:
Yeah well the mother wasn’t to
pleased so she put a stop to the
little excursions.
TABITHA:
That’s when the good stuff started
happening right? The nanny put some
kinda curse on mommy dearest and
she went crazy. The dad being an
ass threw her into an asylum where
she went really nut bag and tried
to fly off the roof! Splat!
LUNA:
That’s so sad!
TABITHA:
(Mumbles)
That’s so sad!
Cassandra smacks Tabitha again
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Omg I’m sorry!!
CASSANDRA:
The father didn’t seem to care and
kept the nanny on but eventually he
became really sick.
TABITHA:
Again thanks to the talents of the
nanny.
CASSANDRA:
Yeah but this time it affected his
company which didn’t go over to
well with his employees.
TABITHA:
So they pulled a Frankenstein and
they chased down the nanny and
torched her?
CASSANDRA:
Not exactly and not before the
nanny killed the children.
LUNA:
Those poor kids!
Tabitha turns to face Luna but before she can say anything
Cassandra smacks her.
TABITHA:
I didn’t say anything!
CASSANDRA:
Preemptive strike! Now quit
interrupting me!
TABITHA:
(Gives a salute)
Yes boss!
CASSANDRA:
She did some kind of ritual that
bound their souls to their bodies
and put them into a deep sleep. The
townspeople hunted her down but she
ran to the shipyard.
LUNA:
And she escaped on a ship!
CASSANDRA:
That’s one thought but most think
she was caught and drowned right
then and there. So she wasn’t able
to come back for the girls and they
died.
LUNA:
I’m gonna believe she escaped. That
way it’s a happy ending!
TABITHA:
How is that a happy ending? People
died! Three innocent girls died!
The villain got away!
LUNA:
It’s still a nice thought
Tabitha smacks Luna in the side of the head.
LUNA (CONT’D)
Don’t do that! I told you I’m
nervous driving at….
A deer crosses the road and Luna hits the brakes and swerves
to miss it. The girls scream as the car comes to a halt in
the ditch.
TABITHA:
Way to go!
LUNA:
This isn’t my fault! You distracted
me!
TABITHA:
A good driver would have kept her
eyes on the road.
CASSANDRA:
Enough! Tabitha you’ll never learn!
Let’s get going!
Luna shifts the car into reverse and hits the accelerator.
Nothing happens.
LUNA:
I think we’re stuck.
TABITHA:
Duh you think!
Tabitha reaches for the door handle and opens it.
EXT. DITCH/SIDE OF ROAD- NIGHT
The car sits angled in the ditch. The rear end is inches off
the ground.
Tabitha exits the vehicle and lands in muddy water.
TABITHA:
Just great! It's a good thing these
boots are cheap.
LUNA:
(silently from inside the
car)
Just like you.
TABITHA:
What was that?
LUNA:
Nothing!
TABITHA:
You bet your ass nothing!
Cassandra pushes the passenger seat forward and leaps over
the muddy water to dry land. Luna opens the driver side door
and steps out onto the side of the road.
CASSANDRA:
We can’t waste our time here. If
Abbey is really in danger we have
to get to her.
LUNA:
I can’t leave my car like this!
CASSANDRA:
It’ll be safe. Hardly anyone travel
this road especially at this time
of night.
TABITHA:
Plus it’s a piece of sh*t, who’s
gonna steal it?
LUNA:
But it’s all I own!
TABITHA:
That’s pretty sad then.
CASSANDRA:
I think if we walk through the
woods here we should make it there
faster than if we follow the road.
LUNA:
There could be wild animals in
there. We might get attacked!
TABITHA:
I’m a wild animal and I’m gonna
attack you pretty soon! When we get
back to civilization remind me to
buy you a pair of balls off Amazon!
They should have them, they have
everything!
LUNA:
Ok fine but if I die I’m haunting
you guys for eternity!
TABITHA:
So just like now! Good times. Let’s
go!
Luna looks for the best spot to jump across the ditch but
still manages to get one foot wet.
LUNA:
Dang!
TABITHA:
(smirking)
Aw muffin!
Luna sticks her tongue out at Tabitha.
Cassandra sets her laptop down onto a dry spot of ground then
raises her phone high into the air.
CASSANDRA:
Let me download something before we
get away from a signal.
LUNA:
What is it?
CASSANDRA:
It’s another telling of the story.
Some say it’s the factual version
of what took place. They say that
everything else that has been
written is a total fabrication.
TABITHA:
(sarcastically)
And the excitement keeps building.
How will I ever contain my delight!
The laptop finally beeps. Cassandra stuffs her phone in her
pockets and grabs her laptop.
CASSANDRA:
Finished!
TABITHA:
Awesome, let’s get going!
LUNA:
If I’m gonna be able to do this
I’ll need something for energy.
Luna reaches into her pocket and pulls out a chocolate bar.
She unwraps it and takes a mouthful.
TABITHA:
(Shakes head)
Seriously?
Tabitha turns and heads into the wood with the other two
right behind her. Cassandra views her laptop as she walks.
LUNA:
What about tics?
TABITHA:
They’ll have a smorgasbord with
you!
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Partiers continue to dance and drink oblivious to what has
happened inside. The manor door bursts open and dozens pour
out into the night. Some push and punch their way out. Those
that fall are trampled on.
Jake and Abbey make it outside unscathed and hurriedly step
to the side away from the stampede.
ABBEY:
We have to go back in there and
JAKE:
It’s not safe! We’ll call the cops!
They’ll know what to do!
ABBEY:
Are you serious? How the hell would
they know what to do?
JAKE:
I don’t know but they’ll have guns
and they can blast that mother
f***er away! So let’s get out of
here!
Jake grabs Abbey and hauls her away from the house.
Some of the fleeing people jump into vehicles and others
disappear into the woods. The partiers that were outside stop
and watch in bewilderment.
Vehicles roar to life and simultaneously move at high speeds.
Chaos ensues as vehicles slam into each other, trees and
dozens of people are hit by the escaping vehicles. None of
the vehicles make it out the driveway.
Jake and Abbey stand there in awe.
ABBEY:
JAKE:
Yeah I guess. Maybe we can make it
through the woods?
ABBEY:
Maybe you grow a pair and we stop
more sh*t from happening!
JAKE:
Ok fine! What do we do?
ABBEY:
I don’t……
REBECCA:
(O.S)
Jake what the hell is going on?
Jake and Abbey look around confused as to where the voice is
coming from.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
(O.S)
Up here you morons!
Jake and Abbey look up to the manor’s deck. Rebecca and her
friends look down at the chaos.
JAKE:
You gotta get down here fast! It’s
not safe in there!
REBECCA:
I’m having too much fun!
JAKE:
You were just complaining about
being here!
REBECCA:
Then you should be happy that I’ve
changed my mind!
ABBEY:
It doesn’t matter you dumb b*tch!
There’s dead people and there’s
gonna be a lot more dead people if
we don’t stop it from happening!
REBECCA:
Don’t call me b*tch, b*tch! Wait
what the f*** did you just say?
ABBEY:
You are dumb! Did you not just see
what happened down here?
REBECCA:
I’m too busy having fun with my
friends. You know what friends are
don’t you? Oops, maybe you don’t!
That would be so sad if I gave a
f***!
Rebecca walks away from the edge of the deck. Her crew laugh
and follow her.
JAKE:
We’re serious Rebecca! You’re in
danger! We’re all in danger!
(Turning to Abbey)
We have to go get her!
ABBEY:
Now you grow a pair?
JAKE:
Well I do kinda love her.
ABBEY:
(rolling her eyes)
I guess “kinda” is better than
nothing. So what are we gonna do?
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM- NIGHT
Beth opens her eyes, sits up and looks around the room. She
stands up and walks towards the main door. A knife on a table
catches her eye and she picks it up.
BETH:
This body is nice but too weak for
what we need. We must take Abbey
and become even stronger.
She hears scuffling noises from behind a nearby door.
BETH (CONT’D)
Well well let’s see what we have
here.
Beth bangs on the door. Her voice alters to a hysterical fear
filled scream.
BETH (CONT’D)
Help me! My leg! It hurts so much!
MIKE:
(O.S. behind the door)
Get the f*** out of here! You’ll
bring the killer right to us!
BETH:
Please! I’m all alone and I’m so
scared!
DIANA:
(O.S. behind door)
Mike it’s Beth! We need to open the
door for her!
MIKE:
(O.S. Behind door)
Beth? F*** her she deserves to die!
BETH:
No please I’ll do anything if you
let me in!
Muffled voices argue on the other side of the door. Beth
waits impatiently for their decision.
A scraping sound as a piece of furniture is moved away from
the door. It opens a few inches, just enough to see half the
face of a female.
DIANA:
Beth! Are you sure the killer isn’t
around?
BETH:
I got knocked down but he was
heading outside before I lost
consciousness. I’m scared he might
come back! Please let me in!
MIKE:
(O.S. Behind door)
Wait I thought it was a chick
killer?
BETH:
(Enhances waterworks)
No I saw the whole thing! It was
just so horrible!
DIANA:
Why do you have a knife?
BETH:
For protection. But I don’t think I
could do much to him if he came
back! Here you can have the knife,
just let me in!
Beth extends the knife handle first, towards the crack in the
door.
BETH (CONT’D)
Here take it.
Diana reaches a hand out and takes the knife by the handle.
Beth’s hand grazes Diana’s hand ever so slightly.
A transfer of energy flashes between the two as the demon
possesses Diana.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Abbey presses her hands to her hand and staggers a bit.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
Beth leans against the door. Confusion streaks her face.
BETH:
Wha…what’s going…
The knife blade slams through the door and into the side of
Beth’s head.
Beth screams as blood pours out of her head. The blade slides
back out and Beth slumps to the ground.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM- NIGHT
A small room with a single door, boarded up window and a desk
and chair pressed up against the door. A half dozen partiers
hysterically pace the floor.
DIANA, a black haired girl, holds the bloody knife in her
hand. MIKE, a blonde muscular guy, backs away from Diana.
MIKE:
Diana, what the hell did you just
do?
DIANA:
(With demon black eyes)
You will do just fine…Mikey!
Diana lunges at Mike but Mike grabs Arnold, a scrawny nerd
type kid, and uses him as a shield.
ARNOLD:
Hey…wait…no!
Diana touches Arnold with her free hand and hands the knife
to Arnold with the other. The energy transfer occurs and the
demon possesses Arnold.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Abbey falls to her knees. Jake grabs her before she plants
her face into the ground.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM - NIGHT
Arnold slams the knife into a bewildered Diana.
MIKE:
Diana! F*** this!
Mike cowardly shoves his way to the back of the others.
Arnold pulls the knife out of the fallen Diana and looks
through the frightened partiers at Mike.
ARNOLD:
We always knew you were a chicken
sh*t Mikey! We’ll give you some
courage. At least until we no
longer need you!
Arnold launches himself at Wendy, a tall fashionable black
girl. He tosses the knife into the air as he grabs her by the
wrist. The energy transfer occurs and Wendy is possessed.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Jake gently lowers Abbey onto the ground. She convulses with
seizures and foams at the mouth.
JAKE:
This is so not good!
A glowing figure appears within the trees surrounding the
manor. It glides between the crashed cars and fallen
partiers.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM - NIGHT
Wendy grabs the knife and thrusts the blade into Arnold’s
neck and rips it forward. A wide smile forms on the Wendy’s
face.
Wendy reaches back and touches Bianca, a tiny cheerleader.
The energy transfer occurs and Bianca is possessed. At the
exact moment of the possession, Wendy stabs herself in the
stomach and falls to the ground.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Jake reaches into his pocket and pulls out his wallet. He
pries Abbey’s mouth open and stuffs it between her teeth.
JAKE:
Hope this works!
The ghostly figure reveals itself to be a beautiful woman
with long flowing hair.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM - NIGHT
Bianca does a few cartwheels over the dead people and when
she reaches the door she turns around and curtsies. She then
cartwheels towards Sam, another 20 something football jock.
She wraps her legs around his head. The energy transfer
happens and Sam is possessed.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Abbey flails in Jake’s arms. He holds her tight.
JAKE:
Come on Abbey! You have to pull
through! Everybody needs you! I
need you!
The figure nears Abbey and Jake. Jake is unaware of the
apparition.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM - NIGHT
Sam slams Bianca head first onto the floor. Her lifeless body
releases her grasp on his head and she crumples to the floor.
Sam turns to face Mike.
SAM:
You’re turn Mikey!
MIKE:
Sam we’re friends, we’re teammates!
We look out for one another! What
the hell are you doing?
Sam rushes Mike and hits Mike in the chest with a very weak
punch. Mike looks at Sam and laughs at the feeble attempt.
MIKE (CONT’D)
If that’s all you got Sam then you
are one sad little b*tch!
Mike grabs Sam by the neck and pounds his other fist into
Sam’s face. Sam just takes the punches with a bloody smile on
his face.
MIKE (CONT’D)
SAM:
(sputtering blood)
No just letting you do most of the
work!
The energy transfer occurs and the demon possesses Mike.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
The ghostly woman kneels down beside Abbey and puts her hands
on both sides of Abbey’s face. She smiles down at Abbey.
Abbey stops convulsing, her eyes go wide and she arches her
back way back. She lets out a bloodcurdling scream then
passes out.
The woman disappears.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR SMALL ROOM - NIGHT
A sinister smile creeps over Mike’s face. Sam’s face turns
from a bloody smile into a terrified pain filled mess.
SAM:
Hey man it wasn’t me!
MIKE:
Oh we know but it doesn’t really
matter. We are doing it for the
sheer pleasure of it all!
Mike slams Sam’s head into the wall multiple times. Mike
picks Sam up and breaks his back over his knee.
Sam twitches and then goes still.
Mike stomps past the dead, pulls the knife out of Wendy and
pushes the desk away from the door. Beth falls into the room.
EXT. WOODS NEAR GREENMOUNT MANOR - NIGHT
The woods are thick with downed trees, rock piles and small
rolling hills. The three girls reach a high iron fence with a
large gap where the links have separated it. They pass
through and Luna falls to the ground exhausted.
LUNA:
I can’t go any further! I need to
rest a bit!
TABITHA:
You can rest when you’re dead!
LUNA:
Then I guess I’m dead cause I’m not
going any further until I can catch
my breath!
Tabitha bangs her fist on the nearest tree. She turns and
falls to the ground into a cross leg position.
TABITHA:
Fine but only for a few minutes.
Luna reaches into her pocket and pulls out a chocolate bar.
Before she can even open it Tabitha grabs it, rips it open
and takes a bite.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Seriously! Do you have food stashed
everywhere on you?
LUNA:
Give it back! I need the energy!
Tabitha tosses it back to Luna but she misses and it falls to
the ground. She quickly picks it up, brushes it off and
brings it to her mouth but stops as she sees the horror in
the other girl’s eyes.
TABITHA:
Omg that’s so gross!
LUNA:
Five second rule!
TABITHA:
That’s for on the floor not deep in
the forest where a bear probably
sh*t.
LUNA:
I don’t care I’m frigging hungry!
CASSANDRA:
Can you guys shut up for five
minutes?
Luna throws the chocolate to the ground and pouts.
LUNA:
Fine! I’ll starve then!
Cassandra sits down between the two. She has her laptop open
to a demonic looking page.
CASSANDRA:
(looking at Luna)
Here’s what I downloaded after you
crashed the car.
LUNA:
It wasn’t my fault!
TABITHA:
Sure it wasn’t Crash!
Luna takes a swing at Tabitha but instead knocks the laptop
out of Cassandra’s hands.
CASSANDRA:
Enough you two! You guys better
grow up because this might be more
serious than we thought!
They all sit in silence for a few seconds then Cassandra
reaches for her laptop.
LUNA:
Sorry Cassandra.
TABITHA:
Yeah sorry. I’ll try to be nicer.
CASSANDRA:
Fine whatever! Now just shut up and
listen to me! I think this is the
real deal and all those other
stories were total bullshit. It
looks like things were altered to
keep the Greenmount name from being
trashed. It sounds like the nanny
was actually the good guy in all
this.
TABITHA:
What do you mean?
CASSANDRA:
I mean it was the girls that were
evil and this nanny was trying to
save them from being corrupted even
more. The mother loved those
children but was starting to fear
what they were becoming so she was
staying away from them. She hired
the nanny not for her babysitting
skills but for her supernatural
powers.
LUNA:
Then why did they go after her? Why
didn’t they do something with the
kids?
TABITHA:
The mother was dead. The father
didn’t care and the little brats
were evil as f***.
CASSANDRA:
Yeah evil and manipulative. Who
anything but sweetheart of the
richest family around. This story
sounds like it was written by
direct descendant of her.
LUNA:
(Clapping )
So she did survive! Yay!
CASSANDRA:
These girls were completely wild.
It was said they had been possessed
by something deep within the woods.
Something was trapped and the girls
released them somehow and this
nanny was trying to save them.
TABITHA:
She didn’t do a very good job of
it.
CASSANDRA:
It says she bound them with some
kind of spell and placed them in a
secret room.
(MORE)
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
ingredients to reverse the
possessions but was hunted down by
the townspeople who thought she was
doing them harm.
TABITHA:
So she just left them to die?
CASSANDRA:
She didn’t want to but she had hid
on a ship and by the time she could
safely leave it they had set sail.
There was no way for her to get off
the ship.
LUNA:
So what does all this have to do
with what is happening at the
party.
CASSANDRA:
I think whatever possessed the
girls and then got trapped inside
them has somehow been released and
some bad sh*t is probably going
down as we speak.
TABITHA:
And we all know Abbey is different.
We’ve all sensed something within
her and if we can then whatever
definitely want a piece of her.
CASSANDRA:
There’s more to it then that.
TABITHA:
Like what?
CASSANDRA:
The nanny’s name was Lucinda,
Lucinda Berg.
LUNA:
Oh my god that’s….
CASSANDRA, LUNA AND TABITHA
Abbey’s last name!
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
Abbey lies in the back of Jake’s truck. Jake paces back and
forth with his hands to his head.
JAKE:
This is so not f***ing good! I
should just get us the hell out of
here! But Rebecca’s parent will
f***ing kill me if I leave her
here! F*** f*** f***!
Abbey bolts up right causing Jake to freak out even more.
ABBEY:
I know what needs to be done!
Abbey jumps out of the truck and heads to the manor. Jake
chases after her and grabs her before she can reach the
manor’s entrance.
JAKE:
What the hell are you doing?!
ABBEY:
We need to stop this thing before
it gets out into the world.
JAKE:
What are you talking about?
ABBEY:
Each time that thing possesses
people I feel it and I get glimpses
into what it is.
JAKE:
And what is it?
ABBEY:
There’s three of them and they were
entombed in a cave in the forest.
They needed a host body to escape
and when the three girls that lived
here went into the woods they found
the cave. Those creatures tricked
them into freeing them and then
they latched onto their souls. They
needed to grow stronger in those
bodies before they could leave the
forest and destroy the world.
(MORE)
ABBEY (CONT’D)
They didn’t think that a lowly
nanny was powerful enough to stop
waiting for their strength to grow.
Abbey pushes free from Jake and starts back towards the
manor. As they pass by a smoldering bonfire, Jake grabs a
chunky branch from the pile beside it.
JAKE:
So why do we need to be the ones to
stop them.
ABBEY:
Because it’s after me.
JAKE:
That would be a reason to run in
the opposite direction.
ABBEY:
I think I’m the only one that can
stop it.
JAKE:
Why would you think you can stop
it?
ABBEY:
Because my great great grandmother
was the one that trapped them in
the first place!
A stunned look forms on Jake’s face as he follows Abbey back
into the manor.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
Jake and Abbey silently creep through the large empty room.
Bodies lay strewn on the floor. Abbey checks the pulse on
some while Jake guards her with his makeshift club raised
high in the air.
JAKE:
Any of them alive?
ABBEY:
None that I’ve checked. We have to
get to the basement. That’s where
we’ll find what we’ll need to stop
this f***er.
JAKE:
I should really go find Rebecca.
She’s probably freaking out by now.
ABBEY:
I don’t give a f*** about her at
the moment. What I have to do is
way more important than saving that
spoiled skank.
Rebecca suddenly appears from behind a sofa followed by a
couple of scared girls.
REBECCA:
What the f*** did you just call me?
Jake swings the branch at the trio and hits STEPH, a carbon
copy of Rebecca, in the shoulder. She falls to the ground
screaming in pain.
JAKE:
Oh god I’m so sorry! You guys
surprised me!
ABBEY:
(Holding back a smile)
Nice one.
REBECCA:
You lunatic you could have hit me!
I mean you idiot you hurt Steph.
Rebecca and JEN, not as beautiful and made up as the other
two but better than most, reach down to console the fallen
Steph who cries out in pain.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Are you ok Steph?
STEPH:
(Crying and holding
shoulder)
Your jerk of a boyfriend tried to
kill me!
REBECCA:
Yeah he is a jerk. He didn’t mean
it though right jerk?
Rebecca gives Jake the finger as she helps Steph to her feet.
Rebecca and Jen help Steph zig zag through the prone bodies.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Can one of you tell me what the
hell is going on here?
ABBEY:
Oh my god weren’t you listening to
me before!
REBECCA:
Uhm I never really listen to you.
Usually I just hear an irritating
buzz.
JAKE:
Then listen to me! There’s....
The 3 girls pass the hall to the stairs. A few partiers
stampede in between them to the center of the room. They
collectively huddle around each other not knowing what to do
or where to go
STEPH:
I can’t take anymore of this! Get
me outta...
ETHAN:
(O.S.)
Watch out!
Ethan barrels out of the hall and plows into Steph. Steph
falls to the ground as Ethan trips and lands right on top of
her.
STEPH:
(from under Ethan)
Is everyone trying to kill me!
Jake rushes over to Ethan and helps him up.
JAKE:
You ok buddy?
ETHAN:
Yeah I think so. I’m really sorry
about your friend!
Rebecca and Jen try to help Steph up but she pushes them
away.
STEPH:
Get away from me! You’re just as
bad as your loser boyfriend. I’m so
tired of pretending that you are
this amazing beautiful person.
(MORE)
STEPH (CONT’D)
You are so not. Just get the f***
away from me! All of you just f***
off!
REBECCA:
Whatever b*tch! You wish you were
me!
Steph hobbles backward away from everyone. She doesn’t notice
the huge and bloodied figure of Mike standing in the hallway.
STEPH:
Sorry to break your little bubble
Actually not sorry.
Terrified looks cross everyone’s faces as they see Mike
slowly begin to smile.
MIKE:
We might like to be her.
Steph turns and looks up at Mike. She begins to cry.
STEPH:
Please, no more!
JEN:
Steph run!
Mike grabs Steph’s head with both hands. With one quick jerk
he twists her head right around.
MIKE:
You on the other hand would be a
waste of our time.
JAKE:
Everybody run! Ethan protect Abbey!
No matter what!
ETHAN:
(thumbs up)
You gotta it dude!
Jake grabs Rebecca and they dodge past Mike. They head up the
stairs followed by Jen.
ABBEY:
We need to get to the basement.
ETHAN:
But isn’t that like in the opposite
direction of where we want to go?
ABBEY:
Not for me it isn’t. You do what
you gotta do but that’s where I
have to be!
ETHAN:
Then that’s where I’m going too! I
won’t let Jake down!
ABBEY:
(hand on Ethan’s
shoulder)
Thanks big guy! Let’s go!
Ethan leads Abbey through the dead on the floor. They blow
past the five survivors like he was on the football field.
SHANE, 20’s shaved head dude with a black metal shirt on,
points to the open door with Beth’s body halfway through it.
LILY, 20’s girl with a long ponytail and a really short
skirt, rushes for the main door.
SHANE:
Over there head for that door!
LILY:
F*** that! I’ll take my chances
getting out of this hell hole!
SHANE:
I think we should stick together!
LILY:
Good luck with that!
Lily leaps over the dead as she tries to escape the manor.
Mike drops Steph’s lifeless body and tramples through the
bodies.
Lily dodges Mike but he grabs her by the ponytail. With great
force he hurls her through the air and slams her onto the
floor.
Mike looks down at Lily, he smiles, lifts his foot and slams
it down crushing her skull.
Shane shoves past the other two girls and a guy as he races
towards the door. MINDY and ALEXA, both 20 something wearing
cheerleading outfits, and TRAVIS, also 20 something in a
blood soaked football jacket, run after Shane.
MINDY:
Holy f***! Chivalry much? What
happened to sticking together?
SHANE:
I didn’t like you guys before and I
sure as f*** don’t like you now!
you’re not worth dying for!
Shane pushes Beth’s limp body out of the doorway, leaps
through and closes the door behind him. The three reach the
door and Alexa bangs on it.
ALEXA:
Open the door you piece of sh*t.
Travis pushes her aside and rams his shoulder into the door.
It cracks but doesn’t open.
TRAVIS:
I’m gonna give you the beating I’ve
been wanting to give you since the
first of the year!
SHANE:
(O.S.)
Go for it! Right now I’m a lot less
scared of what you will do to me
then what Mike will do!
Abbey slides up to the basement door with Ethan close behind.
She curses when she sees the door knob lying smashed on the
floor.
ABBEY:
F***, now what?
Abbey drags her fingers across the edge of the door trying to
get a grip on it. Ethan bashes on the door but it is solid.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
I can’t get my fingers in anywhere!
ETHAN:
Yeah it won’t budge!
They look around for something to pry the door open up with.
ETHAN (CONT’D)
Maybe we can find something to bash
it open with.
ABBEY:
MIKE:
(O.S.)
It’s pointless to even try.
Mike pulls a knife out from under his shirt. He twists the
tip into a finger and lets the blood flow down to mix with
all the other blood.
Mike heads towards Abbey. The other three are trapped between
Mike and Abbey. Travis steps in front of Alexa and Mindy.
TRAVIS:
I can’t let you do hurt anyone
else.
MIKE:
You are welcome to try and stop us.
Travis grabs a stray bottle off the floor and launches
himself at Mike. Mike grabs the bottle as it comes down
towards his head. The bottle shatters into dozens of bloody
shards leaving glass embedded in Mike’s hand.
MIKE (CONT’D)
We think we will keep this body
just a little bit longer.
Mike thrusts the knife upward into the skull of Travis.
Mike pulls the knife out and launches it into Mindy’s chest.
Alexa falls to her knees and begs for her life. Travis and
Mindy collapse around her.
ALEXA:
(sobbing)
Please don’t kill me! I’ll do
whatever you want!
MIKE:
We want you to scream.
Mike grabs Alexa by the face with his hand full of glass. He
presses it deep into her face and rakes his hand downward
tearing off chunks of flesh. Alexa screams as she falls to
the ground.
Abbey and Ethan back up against a wall.
ABBEY:
We are so screwed!
ETHAN:
Abbey I can take him! I know I can.
ABBEY:
Don’t go anywhere near him Ethan.
That’s not Mike anymore and if he
touches you than you won’t be you
anymore either.
Ethan grinds his fist into his open palm.
ETHAN:
I don’t know what that means but
Jake said to protect you and that’s
what I’m gonna do.
Abbey points up to a huge window in the arches. It spans the
entire area with a wide ledge on the bottom.
ABBEY:
Then get me up there. He wants me.
Maybe he’ll leave you alone once
I’m out of reach.
Ethan braces himself up against the wall and cups his hands
together on his leg.
ETHAN:
Ok rush me and I should be able to
get you up there.
ABBEY:
I’m no cheerleader so here goes
nothing.
Abbey takes a few steps back and then runs towards Ethan.
Abbey leaps towards Ethan who catches her foot and lifts her
up into the air. Abbey reaches out for the ledge and she is
just able grab hold of it. She begins to pull herself up onto
the ledge.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Got it! F*** yeah!
Mike reaches Ethan and grabs him by the neck. The energy
transfers and the demon possesses Ethan.
ETHAN:
Abbey I’m sorry!
Abbey gets dizzy as she feels the possession and she drops
down a bit. She manages to hold onto the ledge but is now
weakened.
Ethan grabs Abbey by her foot and begins to pull her down.
Abbey struggles and kicks Ethan with her other foot. Her
fingers pull back from the ledge.
ETHAN (CONT’D)
We finally have you. And with you
all the power we will need to end
this world.
LUNA:
(O.S.)
I’ll save you Abbey!
Luna charges Ethan followed by Cassandra and Tabitha. Luna
tackles a surprised Ethan and they both go careening across
the room and into a boarded up window.
The boards burst apart as Ethan goes flying through the
window and slams down onto the ground. Luna looks down at
Ethan with an apologetic look on her face.
LUNA (CONT’D)
Sorry Ethan, hope you’re ok.
Abbey finally loses her grip and falls to the floor.
Cassandra and Tabitha break her fall and all three hit the
floor hard.
Luna rushes over and helps the three up from the floor.
ABBEY:
You guys are so f***ing awesome!
One more second and I would have
been a goner!
TABITHA:
Hey I just let you use my ribcage
to break your fall. Luna’s the real
hero!
They all give Luna a great big hug.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
I am never gonna tease you again!
If you could do that to Ethan, I
don’t want to know what you could
do to me!
LUNA:
I could never hurt you. You’re a
jerk sometimes but I still love
you.
ABBEY:
Ok, first we gotta get through that
door and survive the night. Then we
can get all lovey dovey.
CASSANDRA:
Maybe Luna can bust through it. She
ABBEY:
I doubt it. Ethan tried and didn’t
make much of a dent.
TABITHA:
Why do we need to get through it?
What’s behind the mystery door?
ABBEY:
Something that will help stop
what’s happening here. Oh yeah I
guess you guys don’t know what’s...
CASSANDRA:
A demon got lose and is possessing
and killing everyone at the party?
ABBEY:
Yep.
CASSANDRA:
Wants to destroy the world?
ABBEY:
Yep.
TABITHA:
And you are the key to stopping
that?
ABBEY:
Uhm yep.
LUNA:
(jumps and claps)
Yay Abbey got them all right!
Tabitha crouches down and grabs the knife lying beside the
prone body of Mike.
TABITHA:
Maybe we can pry it with this?
Mike’s eyes jerk open, wide with fear. He grabs Tabitha’s
free hand.
MIKE:
Help me! I don’t know what’s
happening to me!
Abbey grabs the knife from Tabitha and puts it close to
Mike’s face. Mike shrinks back and holds out bloodied hands
in defeat.
ABBEY:
That’s what happened!
MIKE:
(crying)
It wasn’t me! I mean it was but I
didn’t want to! Something was
making me do it. Maybe someone
spiked my beer, made me blackout
and then.....
The four girls walk away from him. Letting him relive what
happened.
ABBEY:
You might not have been the real
killer but you made a lot of us
suffer over the years. At least
whatever was in you let you live.
Maybe you can make up for the crap
you’ve pulled on people.
The girls stand around the basement door. Abbey hands the
knife back to Tabitha. Tabitha crouches down and shoves the
knife between the door and the jamb.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
You’re the group’s designated thief
right? Go for it.
TABITHA:
My pleasure.
Tabitha slides the knife around a bit. She stops when she
feels some pressure then pries heavily on the knife. The
knife breaks as the door pops open.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Abracadabra my witches!
ABBEY:
Awesome work Tabitha! You and Luna
stay up here and keep an eye out
for any trouble. Cassandra and I
will go look for what we need.
TABITHA:
Don’t take too long. I really don’t
feel like making this my last
adventure with you guys.
ABBEY:
We’ll get back as soon as we can.
LUNA:
Good luck you guys.
CASSANDRA:
(winking at Luna)
You too. Take care of that scrawny
b*tch.
TABITHA:
Hey!
LUNA:
(giggle)
You’re not that scrawny.
TABITHA:
(flexing her arms)
Yeah I got the guns!
Abbey and Cassandra enter the staircase and disappear down
into the darkness.
EXT. GREENMOUNT YARD - NIGHT
Ethan lies unconscious in a pile of wooden debris. His shin
bone juts out through his bloodied pant leg. Demon eyes open
wide on Ethan’s face and he sits up right. He looks down at
his leg.
ETHAN:
This will not do.
A stray cat walks along an old rotted tree limb. Ethan calls
the cat and stretches out to pet it.
ETHAN (CONT’D)
Here kitty kitty kitty! Come to us!
The cat leaps down from the limb and lazily walks over to
Ethan’s outstretched fingers.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BASEMENT - NIGHT
Abbey and Cassandra exit the staircase and enter the empty
basement. The music has died and just a slight cloud of smoke
lingers. The girls stare down at the lifeless body of Sylvie.
Abbey shakes her head as she senses the new possession.
ABBEY:
Wow that was weird.
CASSANDRA:
What? You okay?
ABBEY:
Yeah. Just experiencing lots of new
things tonight. I’ll fill you guys
in if we get through this night.
CASSANDRA:
When we get through this night.
ABBEY:
(smiles)
When we get through this night.
CASSANDRA:
So what are we looking for?
ABBEY:
A long strand of silver chain.
(points to Sylvia)
She was the first to be possessed.
CASSANDRA:
Well it’s definitely not on her.
ABBEY:
That’s for sure. I feel like it’s
around here though.
CASSANDRA:
Like you can sense it?
ABBEY:
Yeah. It’s a weird feeling but it’s
kinda cool.
CASSANDRA:
You’re so lucky.
ABBEY:
The jury’s still out on that one.
CASSANDRA:
I just mean Luna, Tabitha and I
have always dreamed of having some
kind of powers. All we can do is
read and pretend but you actually
have it inside of you.
ABBEY:
I’m assuming I was born with it but
until tonight I was just like you
three. It may just lie dormant in
you just like me and someday it
might just reveal itself. You guys
have a passion for it and there has
to be a reason for that.
CASSANDRA:
Let’s hope so. Now let’s find this
chain and get the hell out of this
creepy place!
(finger to nose)
Not it for checking under the body.
ABBEY:
Gee thanks a lot!
Abbey bends down and places her hands under Sylvie’s body.
She pulls her hands free of the body. Her hands are covered
in bloody.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
This is so gross. And it’s not here
so I got blood on me for nothing.
Cassandra walks around the makeshift furniture scanning the
floor. She sees Sylvie’s pants bunched up on the ground and
reaches down to pick them up.
CASSANDRA:
Maybe these are hers.
Abbey walks over to Cassandra as she puts her hand into the
pockets. She smiles as she pulls out the long strand of
silver chain.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
We got this f***er now don’t we?
ABBEY:
Hope so, but this was the easy
part. Now we have to figure out how
to trap it. Let’s get back to the
others.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - NIGHT
Jake and the girls skulk down a hallway. Dead bodies scatter
the floor. A few living huddle together and silently cry.
Jake leads the girls through the carnage.
Jake checks every door he comes to but all are locked except
the last one.
JAKE:
Let’s hide in here. Then we can
figure out what to do.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BEDROOM - NIGHT
A large bedroom with three small beds line the wall. A large
wardrobe is on the other side. The doors hang from their
bottom hinges and ragged girl’s clothing lay discarded on the
floor. A large french door opens to a small balcony.
The three rush into the room and Jake locks the door.
Jake turns around and Rebecca slaps him across the face.
JAKE:
We should be safe for....
REBECCA:
Why the hell would you bring us up
here instead of outside? You are
such a f***ing idiot!
Rebecca tries to slap him again but Jake grabs her by the
wrist.
JAKE:
Enough! I was just trying to keep
us safe!
REBECCA:
Well you’re doing a shitty ass job
of it!
JEN:
Maybe we can climb down off the
balcony?
REBECCA:
Omg you are a dumb b*tch!
JAKE:
Let’s check it out. Maybe there’s a
chance.
Jen sticks her tongue out at Rebecca who then takes her palm
and pushes it into Jen’s face.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BALCONY - NIGHT
The three walk out onto a small rounded balcony. They all
peer over the sides. The two girls on either side while Jake
peers over the front. There is no safe way to get down.
REBECCA:
Like I said, there’s no way down
from here. It’s official, you’re
both idiots.
JAKE:
(to Jen)
It was worth a try.
The cat leaps onto the balcony railing. Jen screams at first
but then relaxes. The cat purrs and rubs up against Jen.
JEN:
Awww what a pretty kitty!
REBECCA:
Throw that f***ing thing off the
roof and lets get out of here.
The cat looks up at Rebecca and moves from Jen over to
Rebecca.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Get away from me you filthy thing!
Rebecca pushes the cat off the roof but not before the demon
possesses her. The cat lets out a scream as it falls but it
manages to catch itself before it can tumble any further.
Jen rushes to the edge looking for the cat.
JEN:
Why would you do such a horrible
thing? You’re such an evil b*tch!
REBECCA:
(evil smile)
Yes we are!
Rebecca grabs Jen and launches her over the balcony.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Go play with your p*ssy if you’re
so in love with it.
Rebecca caresses her body as she glides towards Jake. Jake
backs away through the balcony doors.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
This body is so perfect and her
mind is so full of hate but your
body can get us close to Abbey
without her being suspicious.
JAKE:
Becky, I mean Rebecca, you don’t
have to do this. You can fight
whatever’s inside you.
REBECCA:
But she doesn’t want to fight us.
She is the first to truly want us
inside her. Too bad we want more.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jake quickly closes the balcony doors and locks them. Rebecca
presses her hands and face up against one of the door’s dirty
windows. She seductively licks the window.
REBECCA:
Come on baby! You know you want us.
JAKE:
Uhm, no thanks I’ll pass.
Jake flees the bedroom.
Rebecca smashes a fist through the window.
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR LARGE ROOM - NIGHT
Tabitha paces the floor while Luna sits against a wall
drawing on the dusty floor. Abbey and Cassandra burst out
from the basement doorway. Tabitha stops pacing and leaps
into a fighting stance.
TABITHA:
Oh thank god it’s you guys. I was
about to open a can of whoop ass on
you!
CASSANDRA:
Oh i’m totally sure thats what you
were gonna do.
Tabitha punches the air in fake fearlessness.
TABITHA:
Hey I could take you for sure. Did
you get whatever you were looking
for?
Cassandra pulls the strand of silver chain from her laptop
bag. Luna gets up and slides it through her fingers.
LUNA:
Oh its so pretty. What are we gonna
do with that?
ABBEY:
We’re gonna use it to....
Abbey feels faint as she senses the possession from cat to
Rebecca. Tabitha steadies her.
CASSANDRA:
You okay?
ABBEY:
Yeah I’m fine. It seems our demon
friend has entered into our
favorite head cheerleader.
TABITHA:
Becky? Seriously? Well that b*tch
deserves to die whether she’s
possessed of not.
LUNA:
Yeah she’s not very nice.
They all look at Luna with surprised expressions on their
faces.
LUNA (CONT’D)
Well she’s not.
ABBEY:
At least we all agree she is a
b*tch. Anyways the chain was used
to bind the demon inside a wooden
crate.
TABITHA:
How are we supposed to get close
enough to trap it in a crate? One
touch and we’d be possessed.
ABBEY:
I know. I don’t even think I could
do it.
(MORE)
ABBEY (CONT’D)
I’m pretty sure I’m nowhere near as
powerful as my ancestor was.
LUNA:
Does it have to be something small?
CASSANDRA:
What do you mean Luna? It’s not
that long.
LUNA:
Well if it was used to complete a
loop...
ABBEY:
TABITHA:
Maybe like a rope tied around some
trees and then the chain completing
the loop?
CASSANDRA:
If we had any rope.
LUNA:
TABITHA:
Like what?
They all look at each other and simultaneously speak.
ABBEY, LUNA, TABITHA, CASSANDRA
The fence!
CASSANDRA:
But there’s a break in the fence.
That’s where we came in from.
ABBEY:
Then that’s where the chain can be
looped around. Make it whole again.
TABITHA:
Well lets get this party started.
The four girls head towards the door leading outside. Jake
leaps from the staircase just as they pass, scaring the
girls.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Holy f*** can people stop jumping
out at me!
JAKE:
Abbey I’ve got something to tell
you.
ABBEY AND JAKE:
Becky’s possessed!
JAKE:
How did you... oh yeah I guess
you’d know that but did you know it
possessed a cat?
ABBEY:
Yeah that was weird.
JAKE:
So do we have a plan?
ABBEY:
Yep and you and I are gonna be the
bait.
JAKE:
Bait? Seriously
Jake follows the girls as they race out the door.
EXT. GREENMOUNT MANOR YARD - NIGHT
The group burst out the manor door and do a quick huddle.
ABBEY:
You guys know what to do. That
leaves Jake and me on a play date
with Becky and her new bestie.
JAKE:
And how do we do that?
ABBEY:
We hop in your truck and hope the
hell she can’t catch us.
JAKE:
And the endgame is?
ABBEY:
My witches here set the trap, I say
the magic words and we got
ourselves a trapped little f***er.
Oh and a demon.
The girls all laugh at the stupid joke.
JAKE:
You really think this will work?
ABBEY:
We’ll be fine. Now you guys get
going!
Luna grabs Abbey in a huge bear hug. Cassandra joins in.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Ok Luna you’re crushing me! Give
Becky a chance to kill me!
Tabitha gives Jake a big hug.
TABITHA:
I always wanted to do this. Mmmm
you feel good.
Jake pats Tabitha on the back.
JAKE:
Yeah uhm good luck. You can let go
now.
Tabitha hugs him tighter then releases him.
TABITHA:
Just a bit more. Okay we’re good.
CASSANDRA:
See you guys soon!
ABBEY:
You bet!
Cassandra, Luna and Tabitha run off into the woods.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Now you and I just need to not die
and maybe save the world.
JAKE:
It’s weird. I always thought it was
supposed to be the cheerleader that
save the world.
ABBEY:
Not in this horror movie.
Abbey and Jake race towards Jake’s truck. Jake grabs the
tailgate latch and drops the tailgate hard. He reaches for a
large sports bag.
JAKE:
Get up in there and suit up.
ABBEY:
Are you frigging serious? It better
be washed!
JAKE:
Uhm well it’s been a while.
Abbey unzips the bag and scrunches up her face as she pulls
away from it.
ABBEY:
Holy f*** that’s rancid!
JAKE:
(smiling)
Yeah it’s been pretty hot out
during practices so they’ve been
stewing real nice. But it’s all we
have to protect you with so suck it
up buttercup!
ABBEY:
(punching Jake’s
shoulder)
Hey I’m the one risking my life
here! If I’m gonna die then I don’t
want to go out smelling like your
sweaty ball sack!
Abbey attempts to lift herself into Jake’s truck box but
fails horribly.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Uhm a little help please.
JAKE:
Seriously?! After this we are
getting you on a strict workout
regiment.
ABBEY:
Oh you’re so not going there about
my weight!
JAKE:
Just saying this could be a wake up
call.
ABBEY:
My knee to your boys will be a nice
wake up call too! Now help me!
JAKE:
(saluting )
Yes ma’am!
Jake grabs Abbey under the arms and hoists her onto the
tailgate with ease.
Jake walks to the passenger side of the truck, opens the door
and rummages around. Abbey starts to slip on the oversized
football gear. She slips on her hood, then the shoulder pads
followed by the gloves.
JAKE (CONT’D)
Found it!
ABBEY:
Found what?
Jake walks back to the tailgate of the truck. He holds up a
roll of duct tape.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Why do you have a roll of duct tape
in your truck? Wait I don’t want to
know!
JAKE:
It’s for....
ABBEY:
(laughing)
No! I really don’t want to hear
what you and Becky got up to in the
middle of the woods!
JAKE:
(smiling)
Oh shut it please! Just wrap it
around where bare skin could be
exposed.
Abbey grabs the tape and pulls a long strip of it and begins
to wrap her waist and wrists.
ABBEY:
(joking)
Wow! Not just a pretty jock face!
You do have a brain.
JAKE:
Smart ass! So what do we do now?
Sit and wait or go looking for her?
ABBEY:
I think we should....
REBECCA:
(O.S. sing song)
Ohhhh Abbey!!!
Rebecca exits the front door of Greenmount Manor. Blood cakes
most of her body.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
This body is glorious! So young and
strong with a beauty to match. We
could go far with this one but with
yours we could do so much more!
ABBEY:
Just apply some soap and water and
you’ll see something not so pretty.
Rebecca glides down the stairs.
REBECCA:
Once we have you we will bring our
sisters into us and with all our
powers combined we can end this
world. Not a soul alive will be
able to stop us.
JAKE:
We gotta book! Get that helmet on
and hold on tight! Let’s hope the
freak squad gets their part of this
crazy plan accomplished.
Abbey straps the helmet on tight and rushes to the front of
the box and latches on to the roll bars.
ABBEY:
I have more faith in them then
anyone. They may be freaks but
they’re stronger than you think.
They’ll come through!
Jake opens the driver side door and jumps into the truck.
INT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
He turns the key and the truck roars to life with the sound
of the engine and metal music coming from the speakers.
EXT. GREENMOUNT YARD - NIGHT
Rebecca launches herself into a full on run.
Abbey looks in horror and amazement at the speed.
ABBEY:
Oh f*** you gotta get us outta here
fast!
Jake looks through the rear window past Abbey.
JAKE:
Hell thats not good!
Jake hits the gas pedal and the tires spin and throw dirt.
Within seconds Rebecca catches up to within 20 feet of the
fleeing truck.
ABBEY:
(screaming through the
back window)
This can’t be possible! It’s gotta
be the demon inside! She can’t run
that fast can she?
JAKE:
Oh its possible alright! I got her
pissed once and she chased me for a
few blocks before she had to give
up because of construction! I got
it the next day though!
Jake slows the truck down as he veers around two crashed
cars. Rebecca leaps onto the closest car, runs along the tops
of both then jumps and flips into the air and lands
gracefully into the back of the truck.
ABBEY:
F*** me! Demon?
JAKE:
Nope! All Becky! Working out sounds
better and better right now eh?
ABBEY:
Shut up and drive!
REBECCA:
Don’t fight it Abbey! We’ll be so
happy as one!
Rebecca launches herself at Abbey.
ABBEY:
Ah f*** it!
Abbey leaps at Rebecca.
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS - NIGHT
The three girls reach the gap in the fence and just stand
there bewildered. Cassandra pulls out the small silver chain
as the girls look at it and then at the gap.
TABITHA:
Holy f*** how are we supposed to
wrap that little thing around that.
CASSANDRA:
Not sure but just standing here
isn’t going to help.
TABITHA:
Ok Luna and I can push the bars
back into place while you pull
until you can loop that little
shiny around it and Abbey saves the
freaking world!
LUNA:
I don’t think I have the energy to
be able to do that.
TABITHA:
Are you frigging kidding me!
Tabitha reaches into her pocket and pulls out a chocolate
bar. She tosses it to a wide eyed Luna.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
I was saving this for when I was
actually hungry but if by giving it
to you saves the friggin world then
I guess I can go hungry.
LUNA:
Thanks Tabitha, I really needed
this.
Luna rips open the package and devours almost the entire bar.
She takes the last bite and offers it to Tabitha.
LUNA (CONT’D)
Here you might need some energy
too.
TABITHA:
Uhm yeah thanks!
CASSANDRA:
Ok let’s do this!
Tabitha pops the chunk of chocolate into her mouth, weaves
her fingers together and cracks them good.
Tabitha and Luna brace themselves against the fence while
Cassandra stands between the two pieces of fence and readies
herself to pull. The silver chain dangles from one hand at
the ready.
TABITHA:
(grunting)
Go!
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Rebecca grabs Abbey by the helmet’s face guard and whips her
into the tailgate. Rebecca charges at Abbey but Abbey kicks
her in the chest which sends her crashing into the back of
the cab.
JAKE:
Nice one! Keep that up and I’ll get
you on the team!
ABBEY:
Just try not to kill us before the
night is over and I’ll think about
it.
Rebecca picks herself up and reaches into the truck through
the back window. Jake opens the door and hangs out as far as
possible to avoid being possessed.
REBECCA:
This body is near perfect but any
body will do until we can have the
prized one.
JAKE:
A little help here!
Abbey grabs Rebecca by the hair and whips her back into the
tailgate. Jake pulls himself back behind the wheel as the
door slams into a tree and rips off the truck.
JAKE (CONT’D)
Hope insurance pays for that!
ABBEY:
Good luck selling the explanation.
Yeah I was hanging out the door
trying not to get possessed by a
crazy demon and uhm I hit a tree!
JAKE:
Yeah maybe not!
REBECCA:
Enough! Time to end this!
Rebecca launches herself at Abbey with a barrage of kicks to
her chest and legs.
ABBEY:
(through grunts of pain)
Hope my girls came through cause I
don’t think I can take anymore
beatings. I need to get this
started!
JAKE:
About time!
Jake swerves around some more vehicles and heads towards the
long driveway.
In between kicks and blocks, Abbey begins the incantation to
trap the demon.
REBECCA:
You don’t have enough power to trap
such as us.
ABBEY:
(pausing incantation)
I’m sure gonna try!
Jake veers off the grass and onto the driveway. The force of
the direction change throws the girls into the side of the
truck. This give Abbey a chance to finish the incantation.
JAKE:
Did it work?
ABBEY:
I don’t know. I don’t think so!
JAKE:
What do you mean you don’t think
so!?
ABBEY:
I mean I’ve never done this before
so I don’t know! I mean I don’t
feel anything.
Rebecca rises from the back of the truck. A maniacal laugh
emits from her mouth.
REBECCA:
You should give up now before we
make you suffer more than is
necessary. We would prefer not to
damage our new body anymore than it
needs to be.
Rebecca reaches for Abbey and wraps her fingers around the
helmet’s face guard. She hauls Abbey up onto her feet until
Abbey is on her tiptoes. Then with little effort lifts Abbey
clean off the ground.
Abbey’s face contorts into fear and pain. She grabs at
Rebecca’s hands and tries to make her release her grip. Jake
looks back with worry on his face.
JAKE:
Now that’s the demon!
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS - NIGHT
The girls struggle to push and pull the fence back together.
Sweat pours down their reddened faces. Tabitha stops and
paces between Luna and Cassandra.
CASSANDRA:
What are you doing!? Don’t stop!
TABITHA:
We can’t do this! We’re failing and
LUNA:
We can’t stop Tabitha! We won’t let
her down!
CASSANDRA:
Get back to pushing!
TABITHA:
Naw! I’m gonna do something better
than that!
CASSANDRA:
What are you talking about!?
TABITHA:
I’m gonna release the beast!
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Rebecca slams Abbey into the bed of the truck. She grabs
Abbey by both sides of the shoulder pads and tears it down
the middle. Rebecca rips the helmet strap off from underneath
Abbey’s chin and hurls the helmet deep into the woods.
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS -NIGHT
Tabitha pokes Luna in her stomach and squeezes her cheeks.
TABITHA:
I don’t know why we expected much
help from you! You’re nothing but a
chunky lil piggy! Oink oink!
CASSANDRA:
Tabitha stop it!
TABITHA:
Not a chance!
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Abbey backs up to the tailgate. Fear gleams in her eyes.
Rebecca grabs Abbey around the throat and drags her to the
front of the box. She looks through the back window of the
cab at Jake.
REBECCA:
I want you to look into the eyes of
your sweetheart as we possess
Abbey. We want you to see the fear
and pain in her eyes as she
realizes we left her for someone
better. Then we will snuff the life
out of her. But don’t worry, you
will soon follow!
The energy begins to pass through the two girls. Abbey begins
to convulse and her eyes roll back into head.
JAKE:
(yelling)
Abbey you can beat this! You’re
stronger than this thing!
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS -NIGHT
Tabitha walks back and forth, she puffs her cheeks out and
her arms imitate a fat person.
TABITHA:
Look at me! I’m Luna! I can’t go a
minute without stuffing my face!
CASSANDRA:
You are such an a**hole!
Tabitha shoves her face inches away from Luna’s face. Luna’s
eyes well up with tears.
TABITHA:
What do you think fatty? Am I an
a**hole?
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Jake drives as straight as he can while he looks helplessly
through the back window. Abbey writhes in pain.
JAKE:
All your life you’ve been laughed
at for being a freak! Like you
don’t belong! What do you do? You
laugh it off and tell them to go to
hell! And you don’t just do it for
yourself but for your friends too.
You have never taken sh*t from
anyone so don’t start now! That’s
not the Abbey I know! So stop being
a little b*tch! Be a f***ing killer
witch!
REBECCA:
Your words are simple drivel. They
have no power, no sway to what we
are!
JAKE:
Shut the f*** up! You know what!
I’m breaking up with you!
REBECCA:
You’re new found status will be
short lived once we finish with
this weak minded soul.
Abbey grabs Rebecca by the hand at her throat and pulls it
away. Abbey’s eyes glow.
ABBEY:
Who you calling weak minded you
clown faced bimbo!
Abbey snaps Rebecca’s finger back as she start to recite the
incantation again. Abbey kicks Rebecca in the chest.
ABBEY (CONT’D)
Now sit back, shut up and give a
good listen to what I have to say!
And Jake, head for the gate!
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS -NIGHT
Tabitha continues to waddle around. Luna grabs Tabitha by the
shoulder, spins her around and clocks her in the face.
Tabitha hits the ground.
LUNA:
I told you no more! Now shut up and
let’s get this done!
Luna rolls up her sleeves and heaves hard on the fence. The
fence moves for the first time. Tabitha rubs her face, looks
at Cassandra and winks painfully. She stands with a wobble
and returns to Luna’s side and pushes. Cassandra pulls with a
greater effort.
TABITHA:
We got this witches!
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Jake’s truck weaves around discarded smashed up vehicles as
they head towards the gate. Abbey continues the incantation
while Rebecca leaps at her. Rebecca swings her fists and
connects twice with Abbey’s face.
REBECCA:
We will not be trapped again!
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS - NIGHT
The fence moves closer and closer to where the chain will
connect. The girls grunt and groan but persist.
CASSANDRA:
Come on guys just a bit more!
Cassandra wraps the chain around the two sides of the fence.
Only a couple inches more and it can be linked.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
Just two more inches. One inch!
Cassandra attaches the two ends. The girls collapse in a heap
of exhaustion.
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Abbey finishes the incantation.
EXT. AERIAL VIEW OF GREENMOUNT PROPERTY - NIGHT
The fence lights up all along the perimeter of the property.
EXT. JAKE’S TRUCK - NIGHT
Abbey grabs Jake’s helmet by the face guard and swings it
into Rebecca’s face. The force of the blow sends them both to
the truck bed.
ABBEY:
You know what? I never really gave
you an option!
JAKE:
Woohoo! Let’s get this done!
Jake punches the gas to the floor.
Both Abbey and Rebecca climb to their feet at the same time.
Abbey turns to see the gate coming up. She turns back to
Rebecca and smiles
ABBEY:
Hey Becky! Go to Hell!
Jake’s truck passes through the gate. Abbey’s body glows as
she passes through it. Rebecca’s body hits the opening and
explodes backwards. Her legs slam into the tailgate and they
rip off at the knees as the rest of her body falls limp to
the ground. Jake slams on the brakes and the truck skids to a
halt.
JAKE:
We Good? Is it over?
ABBEY:
(exhaustive smile)
Yeah we’re good!
Jake and Abbey high five through the rear window.
EXT. BROKEN FENCE IN WOODS -NIGHT
Luna reaches down and and takes a hand from both Cassandra
and Tabitha. She easily hauls the two to their feet.
LUNA:
Sorry for punching you.
TABITHA:
No, I deserved it. Sorry for always
calling you fat.
(rubbing her jaw)
After tonight I’ll never say it
again!
The three girls walk into the woods.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Wait a minute! You said you would
never hurt me!
LUNA:
(holds her crossed
fingers up)
I had my fingers crossed.
TABITHA:
And here I thought you were a good
witch!
Tabitha puts her arm around her two friends and they
reciprocate.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
You should really join a team.
LUNA:
Really?
TABITHA:
Totally! The football team might be
recruiting after tonight.
CASSANDRA:
Or boxing! She sure cleaned your
clock!
TABITHA:
Screw you guys!
EXT. GREENMOUNT DRIVEWAY - NIGHT
Jake jumps out of his truck and helps Abbey over the side.
They both run back to the gate entrance where Rebecca flails
on the ground then her body grows limp. Blood oozes out of
multiple wounds, mouth, nose and eyes.
ABBEY:
Oh that’s gross!
JAKE:
Well I guess all those perks I used
to lavish in are down the crapper!
ABBEY:
We are so totally bad people!
JAKE:
Yeah but we’re alive bad people!
Jake and Abbey high five again. The three girls exit the
bushes beside them.
TABITHA:
Sounds of celebrations, I take it
we won?
JAKE:
Just barely!
The girls look past Jake and Abbey to see the mangled body of
Rebecca.
TABITHA:
Damn girl you are one stone cold
killer!
Rebecca jerks back to life and reaches out to Jake. They all
jump back in surprise.
REBECCA:
(coughing up blood)
Baby, help me please! I need you to
hold me and tell me everything will
be ok!
Jake instinctively crouches down next to her but Cassandra
holds him back.
CASSANDRA:
That’s not her. At least not all of
her.
Tabitha snickers at the comment as she points to her half
legs.
TABITHA:
Get it? Cause she’s missing her
legs.
CASSANDRA:
(smacking her)
You’re horrible and that’s not what
I meant.
Cassandra unzips her laptop bag and pulls out a plastic
sandwich container. She opens the container and tosses away
what is inside.
LUNA:
You had food!?
CASSANDRA:
Tofu salad. you wouldn’t have liked
it.
Cassandra wanders around the area looking for something.
TABITHA:
What are you doing?
CASSANDRA:
What ever is inside Becky isn’t
going to die with her. Just like
in the story, that thing will lie
dormant until someone touches it
and sets it free.
Cassandra sees a frog and quickly catches it in the
container.
CASSANDRA (CONT’D)
There’s gonna be cops and
paramedics swarming this place soon
and then a whole new massacre will
start up all over again. I’m pretty
sure none of us are up for that
sequel just yet!
ABBEY:
Cassandra’s right. I’m only seeing
a bit of what my ancestor knew but
I know this thing can’t be easily
killed. It’s gonna take a lot of
late night surfing to figure this
sh*t out.
JAKE:
So we keep it trapped in a cage
like a pet?
CASSANDRA:
Pretty much. We can’t let anyone
else deal with it cause nobody’s
gonna believe us.
Cassandra opens the container and drops the frog onto
Rebecca. The energy transference occurs and Abbey shakes her
head a bit.
JAKE:
You ok?
ABBEY:
Yeah it’s so much easier now. It’s
like a nerve twitch. But when it
possesses an animal it’s weird
feeling what it feels.
Cassandra quickly scoops up the frog as it tries to hop away.
She snaps the lid on the container and outstretches her arm
to let everyone see. The frog flops around in a mad frenzy.
CASSANDRA:
So should we name it?
TABITHA:
Yeah, Miss Bitchface!
ABBEY:
How about Mr. Green? He’s green and
this is the Greenmount Manor.
LUNA:
Mr. Wigglebottom!
They all look at Luna.
TABITHA:
Well she is the hero of the day so
I think Mr. Wigglebottom is the
perfect name!
They all shout a cheer for Mr. Wigglebottom.
EVERYBODY:
Woohoo Mr. Wigglebottom!
REBECCA:
(O.S. Fragile)
Jake...
They all look down and Rebecca. Tears are mixing with the
blood. She reaches out to Jake with a shaky hand.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Don’t let me...
Rebecca hand drops to the ground and her eyes close softly.
Abbey puts a hand on Jake’s shoulder and pulls him away.
ABBEY:
There’s nothing we could have done
for her. She was pretty much dead
the minute that thing possessed
her.
JAKE:
Yeah I know. It’s just she wasn’t
all that bad. She could be sweet
sometimes.
ABBEY:
Only to those she gave a f***
about.
JAKE:
I guess.
They walk towards the truck. Abbey beside Jake and Tabitha
beside Luna.
TABITHA:
Thank god! I thought there was
gonna be some sad snot filled sob
fest about to happen.
Luna ribs Tabitha with her elbow.
LUNA:
Have a bit of sympathy!
TABITHA:
Okay okay sorry! Please don’t hit
me again.
They reach the back of the truck. Jake pulls the tailgate
latch and brings down the tailgate hard. Rebecca’s lower legs
roll out at them. They jump back in surprise.
TABITHA (CONT’D)
happened to them but I didn’t want
to harsh the mood anymore than it
was.
(MORE)
TABITHA (CONT’D)
Uhm you gonna keep them as
souvenirs or something? Make little
trophies out of them?
LUNA:
You’re sick!
TABITHA:
Yeah sorry! I gotta fix that.
Jake grabs his torn shoulder pads and sweeps the legs out of
his truck.
JAKE:
You know this doesn’t seem real.
ABBEY:
Yeah one minute you’re chugging
beers with your buds. The next
minute you’re cleaning your
girlfriend’s body parts out of the
back of your truck. Not gonna go
down as one of the best nights of
your life.
Tabitha puts her arm around Abbey and Jake.
TABITHA:
But bonus you made a few new
friends! Of course we’re all
considered losers so your cred will
be severely diminished.
JAKE:
(sarcastically)
Yeah thats so awesome.
CASSANDRA:
(O.S.)
Hey guys we have a problem.
The group turns to see Cassandra still on the other side of
the gate.
LUNA:
Come on Cassandra, we need to get
out of here.
CASSANDRA:
Did you guys forget something. This
thing... uhm Mr. Wigglebottom can’t
go through the gate. We’re trapped
ABBEY:
Oh hell yeah we need to break the
link.
TABITHA:
You mean we gotta go all the way
back there just to snap a little
chain.
CASSANDRA:
Don’t worry I’ll go and do it.
LUNA:
I’ll go with you.
TABITHA:
Yeah, we came together we’ll leave
together.
LUNA:
We have to get my car too!
JAKE:
Abbey and I will meet you at your
car and then we get the hell out of
here.
CASSANDRA:
(pointing)
Well you better hurry cause it
looks like someone was able the
call the cops.
They turn to where Cassandra points. Flashing lights fill the
darkened road about a mile down.
JAKE:
Oh sh*t!
TABITHA:
Yeah our alibi sucks at the moment
so we better disappear.
ABBEY:
See you guys soon.
Cassandra, Luna and Tabitha slip into the woods. Jake and
Abbey jump into the truck.
INT. JAKE'S TRUCK - NIGHT
JAKE:
So you glad you came?
ABBEY:
(smiling)
Wouldn’t have missed it for the
world!
Jake turns the key and the engine roars to life. Abbey hits
the power button on the stereo and Rob Zombie’s Dragula fills
the night air.
ROB ZOMBIE:
(through speakers)
Dead I am the one! Exterminating
son! Slipping through the trees!
Strangling the breeze!
INT. GREENMOUNT MANOR CAVERN - NIGHT
The three stoners lie slumped over the destroyed crate and
skeleton. Stoners 1 and 2 wake from there blunt force
slumber. They sit up and survey there surroundings and then
start to giggle outrageously. Stoner 3 remains unconscious
over the crate with his ass hanging half out.
STONER 1
Do you think he’s good? Should we
wake him?
STONER 2
No man he’s just a lightweight. Let
him sleep it off some more.
STONER 1
Did that really happen? Did I get
felt up by some hot naked chick?
STONER 2
Not sure if it went down like that
but she was pretty juicy!
STONER 1
Maybe she’ll want to party with us
now.
STONER 2
Dude I think she’s dead.
STONER 1
Oh yeah! Bummer!
STONER 2
What did we trip over anyways?
STONER 1
(giggling)
I think that was the acid we
dropped like 4 hours ago.
The stoners high five each other as they look behind them at
the shattered crate and the mangled skeleton. They jump to
their feet and back up against the wall.
STONER 2
Wooo! That’s some crazy Scooby Doo
sh*t!
Stoner 1 looks at the wall behind them. Stoner 2 turns to
follow his gaze.
STONER 1
Then this makes it even crazier
Shaggy!
The stoners look at the wall with the two crates half stuck
out of the wall with their covers rotted away. Half the
skeletons hang out of the crates. A silver chain encircles
each of the crates.
STONER 2
How much weed do you think we could
buy with those?
STONER 1
(giggling)
Only one way to find out.
The stoners reach for the chains.
FADE OUT:
