CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH-DUSK

A huge Victorian home sits close to the beach. Waves are heard. The sand looks very eerie, not quite yellow. The woods far off to the right give us a eerie feeling. It’s a very windy night. The trees blow furiously. The sun is setting above the shoreline.

Then a shrill, maybe a man’s scream.

The waves continue to crash on the rocks.

FADE TO:

EXT. UNIVERSITY-DAY

A small quiet looking University. Students walk around.

It is a lovely day. The sun is shinning. No wind. Looks kind of like a hot day.

CUT TO:

INT. DORM ROOM

A very neat looking room. QUIN(19) lays on her bed, reading a book. Then her roommate KYLIE GREENE(19) enters, she looks like she’s in a rush. She slams the door behind her, and throws her backpack down on her bed.

QUIN

What’s with you?

She rushes towards their little T.V. She turns it on.

KYLIE

There going to announce who won the contest.

Kylie starts changing channels.

QUIN

You mean that stupid freak show contest you entered

months ago?

KYLIE

It wasn’t a freak show.

QUIN

No one in there right mind would want to go to a

scary place with a bunch of people you don’t know.

KYLIE

I would.

She stops at a channel. And turns it up.

CLOSE UP(T.V.)

A man talk show host, Ed Petters(early 40’s) stands in a dark room.

These lucky eight people will spend a night in Cole

Carter’s lot. Now everyone might know that in 1975

Carter murdered a total of fifty-seven people. In

1976 the F.B.I. pumped a total of forty-five bullets

in him. And these eight students will go there, and

uncover the mysteries of the lot.

KYLIE

Oh my God. I’m so excited.

QUIN

Did you see those hot guys?

KYLIE

Quin I’m not going there to score.

QUIN

Oh yeah. Well then get some phone numbers for me.

Kylie laughs.

QUIN

Where did they say you guys are going?

KYLIE

Cole Carter’s lot.

QUIN

Huh?

KYLIE

He supposely killed a whole bunch of people, and buried

them in his woods.

QUIN

God that’s nasty.

KYLIE

And one night the cops busted in his house, and shot him

to death.

QUIN

And it’s haunted?

KYLIE

They say. But probably only noises here, and there.

QUIN

When is this going to be airing?

KYLIE

I read on the internet that they film a week before

showing it.

QUIN

How’d you know when you go?

KYLIE

There supposed to call.

QUIN

When?

KYLIE

Probably soon.

The phone rings.

KYLIE

There you go.

Kylie goes over to the phone, and answers it.

KYLIE(to phone)

Hello?

She listens.

KYLIE(to phone)

This is her.

She listens.

KYLIE(to phone)

Thank you.

She listens.

KYLIE(to phone)

Tomorrow?

She bobs her head.

KYLIE(to phone)

Great. Okay. Bye.

She hangs up the phone.

QUIN

So?

KYLIE

A limo is picking me up tomorrow at noon.

QUIN

Oh my God. Are you really going to go through with it?

KYLIE

Why not?

QUIN

The T.V. show is really scary.

KYLIE

It can’t be that scary.

QUIN

And I can’t believe you only get ten grand to stay the night.

KYLIE

It’s not the money Quin.

(beat)

It’s the horror.

CUT TO:

INT. DORM ROOM-LATER

Kylie lays on a bed. Quin lays on her bed. Both stare at the ceiling.

QUIN

I wonder what it’s going to be like.

KYLIE

Probably like the T.V. show. Video camera’s attached to a vest

you wear. And camera’s covering nearly every part of the lot.

QUIN

How creepy. I could never do that.

KYLIE

Quin it’s probably not that bad.

QUIN

Easy for you to say. You like that ghost shit.

KYLIE

Well ghost..shit is fun.

QUIN

You’ll never catch me in a place like that.

They get silent.

KYLIE

God! It’s going to be great!

CUT TO:

EXT. CAMPUS-NEXT DAY

It’s a bright, and shinny day. Kylie, and Quin sit on a table, under a tree.

Quin glances at her rist-watch.

QUIN

It’s past noon.

KYLIE

Any minute.

QUIN

Are you even excited?

KYLIE

Yeah. Why?

QUIN

You don’t seem as much excited you were yesturday.

KYLIE

I’m a little upset that you can’t go.

QUIN

Kylie. If I could go, I wouldn’t. I’ll see you

tomorrow night.

KYLIE

Don’t throw any parties without me.

QUIN

One night. That’s it.

KYLIE

Yeah. Yeah. I know.

A limo is in view.

KYLIE

There goes my ride.

Kylie get’s off the table. And waves the limo towards her.

The limo drives up to her. She stops waving.

QUIN

Well have a fightful time.

Kylie turns to her. Steps towards her, and gives her a hug.

KYLIE

Seeya later.

The limo driver steps out.

LIMO DRIVER

Kylie Greene?

She turns to him.

KYLIE

Yeah. That’s me.

LIMO DRIVER

I need to see some I.D.

KYLIE

Are you serious?

LIMO DRIVER

Please. It’s the rules.

She pulls out her wallet from her purse. She opens her wallet. She hands it to the limo driver.

LIMO DRIVER

Okay. Miss Greene, you ready to go.

KYLIE

Yes.

He hands her back her wallet. She hands him her small dufel bag.

Kylie turns back to Quin.

KYLIE

Seeya Quinn.

QUIN

Bye.

Kylie enters the limo.

Quin waves, goodbye.

QUIN

Have a good time.

The limo drives away.

FADE TO:

EXT. SKY-LATER

A plane takes off.

CUT TO:

INT. AIRPLANE

Kylie sits between two tall, big men. A magazine is in her lap. The other two large men have laptops on their lap. Their faces are very serious. It’s quite a funny site.

Kylie looks up to the man on the right. Then she turns to the man to the left. Then her head moves down to the magazine.

Then the man on the right coughs violently. Kylie moves her head towards the man on the left. Her eyes open wide. He coughs again.

CUT TO:

EXT. SKY-LATER

The sky has gotten darker, but still day.

A plane fly’s across the screen.

WE PULL BACK-to a street. A limo passes us by.

The limo drives along a forest. No houses, or little stores in view.

CUT TO:

EXT. COLE CARTER’S HOUSE-LATER

The limo drives away.

Kylie has her bag in her hands. She looks at the Victorian house.

The house looks a little junky. Paint is chipped away on some area’s of the house. Window’s only have one window shutter.

Kylie looks around. A car is parked off to the far right. It’s close to the beach.

Kylie starts walking towards the car.

CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH

Kylie steps up to the driver’s door. She looks in.

No one is in there.

KYLIE(calling out)

Hello?

A crash from within the house.

Kylie turns to the house. She starts walking back towards the house.

Silent. Only the sounds of waves. Kylie continue’s to walk.

KYLIE(calling out)

Hello?

Kylie steps up to the house. She takes a long good stare at the house.

She takes a step onto the stairs that lead up to the front porch. She slowly climbs the stairs. She reaches the front porch.

EXT. FRONT PORCH

She eyes the front door.

The front door’s paint is really chipping away.

Kylie’s hand reaches for doorknob. But before she does the doorknob turns!

Kylie’s face drops.

The door opens to revealing ED PETTERS(the host of the show.)

The both look shocked.

Kylie sighs.

ED

Hi. Kylie Greene?

KYLIE

Yes. Hi Ed.

ED

Just coming out to look for you.

KYLIE

Are the others already here?

ED

Yes. Come in.

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING ROOM

The room is dark, two candles are lit. There’s a couch, a coffee table, usually the same things living rooms have.

ZANE KRAUSE(19), DEIRDRE BELL(19), BEN WARREN(19), FAITH RIVERS(19), DALLAS REID(19), XAVIER WEST(19), and ARIEL WALTON(19) look around the room.

ARIEL

...I’m kinda getting a little freaked out.

BEN

This place is not even scary.

DALLAS

Yo. I can’t wait till tonight.

FAITH

Yeah. I gets to do spells, and shit.

Zane looks around at each corner of the room. They all have camera’s. There is at least 10 camera’s just in that room.

ZANE(to self)

Wow.

Kylie, and Ed step into the room. The others look at them.

DALLAS

Ed. My man you found her.

ED

Everyone this is Kylie Greene.

They all greet her.

ED

This is Dallas Reid.

Dallas shakes Kylie’s hand.

ED

Ariel Walton.

FAITH

DEIRDRE

Zane shakes Kylie’s hand. Zane smiles at her.

KYLIE

It’s really nice to meet all of you.

FAITH

Okay. When can we start?

DALLAS

Yeah Ed, when do we get our vests?

ED

Well this episode is going to be different.

(beat)

Since there is over 1,000 camera’s planted in the house, and

in the woods, and that’s way enough. We wanted to see how the audience would respond without the vest camera’s.

XAVIER

Thank God. I really didn’t feel like wearing that thing.

ARIEL

Um. When is this going to be airing?

ED

Next Saturday.

BEN

So when do we start?

ED

Let me explain the rules.

(beat)

You are here to uncover every ground of this lot. You

are here to find any paranormal activity.

KYLIE

Has there ever been any sign of paranormal activity?

ED

Yes. In the house. On the beach. And in the woods.

(beat)

You’re miles from any reach of contact. Is there

anyone who want to back down now?

No one says anything.

ED

Great. I’ll be leaving now. Have fun. You guys

can probably start....???

He looks at his watch.

ED

..Um it’s six-o-clock. Give it another 45 minutes. Then

start. There is instuctions in the kitchen. I’ll be

back to pick you up tomorrow morning.

He turns. Then turns back.

ED

How stupid of me. There are speakerphones, and flashlighs in the kitchen for each of you. Put them on. It’s a speaker for the camera’s.

Remember try not to keep silent. Talk to yourself, let

the audience know what’s happening around.

(beat)

You got it?

They all nod.

CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH-LATER

The car drives away.

WE MOVE- towards to the dark house.

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING ROOM

Kylie throws a white sheet over the couch. She takes a seat. No one else is in the room, except for Ariel, which she is on the floor, writing in a notebook.

KYLIE

What’d you writing?

ARIEL

Just some lyrics down.

KYLIE

Lyrics?

ARIEL

I’m trying to become a songwriter.

KYLIE

Oh.

They get silent.

KYLIE

Can I hear some?

ARIEL

Sure.

KYLIE

If you don’t mind?

ARIEL

I don’t mind.

It get’s silent.

ARIEL(singing)

I’m trying to find a way

So that I can get to your heart

But it’s so hard

To see through you

You don’t seem to open up

You don’t seem to talk that much

But I hope to get to the real you...

KYLIE

That was really good.

ARIEL

I’m trying to come up with a chorus.

KYLIE

Have you ever thought about singing pro?

ARIEL

No. I’m too shy. Better writing than singing.

The others enter.

DALLAS

Yo, this place is so huge ya’ll.

FAITH

It’s almost six-forty-five, should weya start?

Dallas grabs Faith’s butt.

DALLAS

Read my mind.

Faith grabs Dallas hand, and twists it.

DALLAS(in pain)

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Faith let’s go of his hand. He starts moaning.

DALLAS(in pain)

My fucking hand.

FAITH

Oh sorry. Was that the hand you beat off with?

(beat)

(to Dallas)

Advice? Don’t mess with me.

DALLAS

I was just kidding.

Faith turns to the others, and smiles.

FAITH

So? Should we start....

Faith turns to Dallas.

FAITH(to Dallas)

...With the ghost hunt?

Everyone nods. Except for Dallas.

She makes dreamy eyes.

FAITH(sexy)(to Dallas)

Or do you want to do something else?

Dallas smiles.

Then she pretends to bend her hand, like she did with Dallas.

Dallas smile drops.

KYLIE

I’m ready to start.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN

They step into the dark kitchen. Cobwebs are everywhere.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN-LATER

WE PULL- back to a flame that Deirdre just lit.

The kitchen has now five candles lit.

Everyone is putting there speaker-earphone’s on.

XAVIER

This feels weird.

Faith picks up pieces of notebook paper from the table. Faith starts looking through them.

FAITH

It looks like each room has a history of it’s own.

ZANE

What does it say about the kitchen.

FAITH

Let me see.

She starts looking at a paper.

FAITH

It seems that Cole Carter, and his wife Bilinda Carter,

one night had a big fight, and he slashed her stomach

up with a kitchen knife. Then hung her body from the fan.

They look up at the fan.

KYLIE

How gross.

BEN

How cool.

FAITH

Anyone want to know about the other rooms?

KYLIE

I rather not.

DALLAS

Me either.

FAITH

Fine. Keep it in suspense.

She moves her head down to the papers.

FAITH

Wait. We have to summon Cole Carters spirit.

(beat)

In the living room.

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING ROOM-LATER

Ariel blows out the last candle.

ARIEL

Candles out.

FAITH

Okay everyone stand in a circle.

She reads the papers.

Everyone gathers in a circle.

FAITH

Ready? Okay.

She reads from the paper.

FAITH(reading)

Lords of the undead, we ask of you to let Cole

Carter return for one night.

(beat)

Lu hiy wai qab van do sora hee.

A loud crash from somewhere within the house.

They all jump back.

DALLAS

Oh shit.

KYLIE

What the hell was that?

FAITH

Well let’s split up.

DEIRDRE

What? Why?

KYLIE

Cause those are the rules.

FAITH

But we can meet up back in the kitchen in an hour. Just

to make sure everyone is okay.

(beat)

Remember talk out loud.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR-LATER

Kylie is all alone. She is slowly walking. It is very silent.

KYLIE(to speaker)

I’m all alone. And I’m scared.

She continues walking. A door is on the right. She opens it.

CUT TO:

INT. BEDROOM

Kylie steps inside.

She turns on her flashlight.

There’s a bed, a nightstand, a bookshelf, a table, and a rocking chair.

She looks around.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Looks like a bedroom.

She moves over to the bookshelf. And looks at the books.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Nothing but horror books.

CAMERA(P.O.V.)-We see Kylie alone in the room.

She moves towards another door, within the room.

She turns the doorknob, and opens it.

She flashes the flashlight in the room.

Suddenly we see faces!

Kylie screams.

KYLIE

..Ah!..Shit.

It’s not a human, it’s a mannequin.

Kylie sighs.

KYLIE(to speaker)

It’s only a mannequin, not a man.

CAMERA(P.O.V.)-We see Kylie in front of the closet door. We see the door she came in from. But someone is standing right outside staring into the room! It’s Cole Carter! His face is in a twisted grin, his face is like the color of pale green. He has four gunshot wounds on his face. Blood looks like it’s pouring from his face.

Kylie looks into the closet.

The door she came in from suddenly slams shut!

Kylie screams, and turns to the door.

KYLIE

Oh my God.

Her face is locked in pure terror.

She steps towards the door.

KYLIE(calling out)

Hello?

No answer. She moves towards the door. Then stops. She sense’s someone behind her.

She turns around. No one.

She runs to the door, and opens it.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

She steps back into the dark corridor.

She looks around. No sign of anyone.

CUT TO:

EXT. FRONT PORCH-LATER

Ben stands on the porch.

He looks out into the night.

He walks to the other side of the porch. He stands in front of a huge window.

BEN(to speaker)

Everything looks okay out here.

He looks around in front of him.

In the window behind him, a dark figure runs across it.

Ben does not sense it.

BEN(to speaker)

I’m going to check out the beach.

CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH

Ben walks on the sand, passing a video camera in the sand.

He smiles.

BEN(to speaker)

Place got’s camera’s everywhere.

He looks into the waves.

CUT TO:

INT. DEN

Ariel wonders into a den.

She looks around.

ARIEL(to speaker)

I guess this is like a den, or something.

She moves to a table. She picks up a frame, and looks at it.

The picture is hung body.

ARIEL(to speaker)

This guy was seriously sick.

She puts the picture down.

She looks around the room.

ARIEL(to speaker)

I can’t see anything.

She turns on her flashlight.

She shine’s the light on the walls.

Stuffed deer heads.

ARIEL

Oh my God.

Silence. Then the sound of breathing. It’s not Ariel!

Her expression turns into a confussed face. She turns around.

Nothing. She walks towards a corner.

More breathing sounds. She turns around.

Nothing.

Then behind her Cole Carter’s face appears right behind Ariel. His body hidden in the shadows. His head moves back. Now we can’t see him.

Ariel stares at the door she came in from.

ARIEL(calling out)

Anyone there?

A noise behind her. Ariel quickly turns around.

No one.

She is frightened.

ARIEL(to speaker)

I’m outta here.

Ariel starts walking towards the door.

ARIEL’S(P.O.V.)-We see the door. We move towards it. We reach it. Then suddenly Dallas comes into the view.

Ariel screams! Dallas jumps back.

ARIEL

What the hell are you doing Dallas?

DALLAS

Me? What the hell are you doing?

ARIEL

You scared the shit outta me.

DALLAS

You scared the shit outta me.

They both sigh.

ARIEL

I heard breathing sounds.

DALLAS

Really?

ARIEL

Yeah. All around me.

DALLAS

Have you seen the others?

ARIEL

No. Why?

DALLAS

No reason.

ARIEL

Where’s your flashlight?

DALLAS

It didn’t have any fucking batteries.

ARIEL

What?

DALLAS

I’ve been walking around in the dark.

ARIEL

Want to stick with me? I don’t want to be alone.

DALLAS

Yeah. Okay.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS

Xavier is on a path. Trees everywhere. Every other tree has a camera on it.

XAVIER(to speaker)

This very creepy.

He walks the path. Then it ends, leading into the woods.

XAVIER(to speaker)

I don’t know about this.

He steps onto the dirt.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS-LATER

Silence. No one in sight.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS

Xavier is looking around. A twig snaps. He freezes.

XAVIER(calling out)

Hello?

No answer. Another twig snaps.

Xavier turns around. No one in sight.

His expression goes blank.

Another twig snaps behind him.

Xavier quickly turns around, and see’s Zane with a broken twig in his hands.

Xavier sighs.

ZANE

Gotcha.

XAVIER

You ass.

ZANE

Hey. Hey. Watch the cursing.

XAVIER

Why’d you do that?

ZANE

Little fun man.

XAVIER

It wasn’t funny Zane.

ZANE

C’mon have a sense of humor.

XAVIER

Just get away from me.

ZANE

Whats the matter Xavier? Did I scare you.

XAVIER

Just go.

Zane turns around.

XAVIER

You do something like that again. I’ll kill you.

ZANE

Yeah, right.

Zane walks away.

Xavier walks deeper into the woods.

XAVIER(to speaker)

I really don’t like that guy.

Then he turns around.

Zane is nowhere in sight. No one is.

CUT TO:

INT. BASEMENT

Faith comes down the stairs. She pulls out her flashlight. She flashes it around.

There a washer, and dryer. Theres a lot of boxes, and clothes all around.

FAITH(to speaker)

Maybe there’s something good in here.

She moves to a pile of clothes.

FAITH(to speaker)

Well he liked cheap clothes.

A loud thud. She moves the flashlight to a closed door.

FAITH(to speaker)

Okay there was a loud noise.

She takes a step towards the door.

LOOKING UP THE STAIRS-we see Cole Carter standing at the top of the stairs.

Faith takes another step to the door.

FAITH(to speaker)

Probably rats or something.

The basement door slams shut!

Faith jumps, and drops her flashlight. She bends down, and picks up the flashlight.

FAITH(to speaker)

I think I’m ready to leave.

She moves fast to the stairs. She looks up. The door is shut.

FAITH(to speaker)

Something just closed that door.

She takes a step up. She starts slowly climbing the stairs.

Then through the cracks of the stairs, a hand comes out, and grabs Faith’s leg.

Faith screams. She falls down the stairs. The flashlight hits the ground hard. The light goes out.

Faith moans.

FAITH(to speaker)

Oh my God. Something just tripped me.

She slowly stands up. She moves over to the flashlight. She picks it up. She starts messing with the switch. Nothing happens.

FAITH(to speaker)

My flashlight went out. And now I can’t see anything.

Faith moves towards the stairs. She climbs them really fast. She opens the door revealing Cole Carter with a big butcher knife!

Faith screams.

Cole Carter slams the knife into her neck.

Faith stops screaming. She grabs her neck. Making gurgling sounds. Cole Carter raises the knife again, brings it quickly down slashing Faith’s stomach. She falls down the stairs.

Her body lays dead. Blood pumping out from her neck, and her stomach.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Deirdre wonders around somewhere upstairs.

She keeps on glancing back.

She turns a corner.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

This house is very haunting.

She continues to walk. At the end of the hall there is stairs that lead up.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

This house is too big.

She climbs the stairs. There is another door at the top.

CUT TO:

INT. ATTIC

The door opens. Deirdre enters.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

This room is really dark. And stupid me I left the

flashlight in the kitchen.

She tries to look around.

It’s very dusty in here.

She starts wondering around.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS

Xavier is lost. He wonders around.

XAVIER(to speaker)

I’m lost. I can’t remember where I came in from.

He continues to walk.

He passes a tree up, and trips.

He lands face down into the dirt.

XAVIER

Shit.

He slowly stands up. He looks around for what he tripped on.

His face drops.

WE MOVE UP-We see a grave. Then twenty more.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

An empty corridor.

WE MOVE-down the corridor. We turn a corner, and see Kylie.

Kylie is wondering around. Her flashlight is off.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Okay. I haven’t been able to find anyone.

She looks around.

KYLIE(to speaker)

This place sucks.

She goe down the corridor, and turns a corner, and bumps into Ariel, and Dallas.

They jump.

KYLIE

Where were you guys?

DALLAS

Somewhere around here.

ARIEL

Have you seen the others?

KYLIE

No. I’ve been all alone for awhile.

Dallas looks at his watch.

DALLAS

Shit. We still got nine hours of this.

CUT TO:

INT. DINNING ROOM

The front door opens. Ben enters. He closes the door behind him.

BEN(to speaker)

It’s starting to get cold out there.

He looks around.

BEN(calling out)

Anyone here?

No answer. Ben starts to walk towards the staircase. He reaches it.

He looks up. He doesn’t see anyone.

Doesn’t look like anyone’s around.

Ben starts walking towards a corridor.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Ben walks through the corridor.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN

Ben enters the kitchen. He looks around.

BEN(to speaker)

Damn. Is everyone dead or something?

He moves to a glass door.

He looks into it.

BEN(to speaker)

Huh? Greenhouse or something?

He looks at the papers Faith through down. He picks them up. He turns on the flashlight, so that he can read them.

BEN(to speaker)(reading)

Huh? Greenhouse.

(beat)

Okay greenhouse. 1968 Cole Carter kidnapped three prostitutes,

and decapitated thier bodies.

CUT TO:

INT. GREENHOUSE

The door opens. Ben enters.

Dead trees, and plants all over. Dirt is pretty piled up on the floor. He shines the light down at one end. He walks towards it.

He reaches that end. Something makes a squishing sound. He lifts up his leg. He shines the light down, he steped on a roach. Next to the dead roach is something black, barely peeking out from the ground. He digs it up.

It’s a wallet. He opens it.

There’s an I.D.: PATRICE BOGGS

BEN(to speaker)

Cool. This must of been one of the prostitutes he killed.

A slicing sound.

Ben quickly stands up, and shoves the wallet into his pant’s pocket.

BEN(calling out)

Hello?

He glances around the room. No one.

Ben starts to walk back to the glass door.

Then a figure runs fast, past the door. Unknown who it is.

Ben freezes.

BEN(calling out)

Hello?

No answer. He takes a step towards the door.

BEN(calling out)

Hello?

No answer. He slowly walks to the door. He reaches the door. He turns the doorknob, and opens it. He steps back into the kitchen.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN

No one is in sight.

Ben sighs.

He carefully looks around the room.

BEN(to speaker)

I must of saw something. I’m getting scared.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Kylie, Dallas, and Ariel walk down the corridor.

KYLIE

You know we’re going to get into trouble for this.

DALLAS

For what?

KYLIE

We’re not supposed to be all together for a while.

DALLAS

I don’t have a fucking flashlight. I’m staying with Ariel.

KYLIE

Fine. Bye.

Kylie turns onto a corridor, opposite from Dallas, and Ariel.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Kylie walks down a corridor, her flashlight is still on.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Those other two are going to get into trouble.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS

Xavier walks fast.

XAVIER(to speaker)

I need to get back to the house, and tell the others about the

graves.

He freezes.

A bush shakes. Then another, and another. Suddenly all the bushes around are shaking furiously.

Xavier closes his eyes.

He opens them. The bushes are still shaking.

He runs fast through a bush.

XAVIER’S(P.O.V.)-We see trees, we move fast at them.

He freezes. He looks around.

XAVIER(to speaker)

Damn it! I can’t find the path back to the house.

He looks around. To his right is a little shack.

He starts walking towards it.

XAVIER(to speaker)

This is very stupid of me. But maybe theres like some

kind of map or something back to the house.

He reaches the shack door. A slidding tin door. It’s rusty.

He pulls it open. And steps inside.

CUT TO:

INT. SHACK

Xavier enters. It’s empty. Not a thing is in there.

XAVIER(to speaker)

This is nice.

Trying to joke.

He turns back out.

CUT TO:

EXT. SHACK

He steps out of the shack. Then freezes. He sense’s someone behind him.

He slowly turns around.

In the shack we see a dark figure in the middle of the room!

Xavier squints his eyes.

The figure raise’s a butcher knife.

Xavier stares hard at the figure.

The figure suddenly runs to him. Xavier turns away, and is ready to run...Too late.

Cole Carter stabs Xavier in the chest.

Xavier screams. The Cole Carter takes the knife out. Xavier falls to the ground.

Xavier lifts his head out from the dirt. He looks around for Cole Carter. Nowhere in sight.

Xavier starts to get up slowly. He looks in front of him..Cole Carter stands there with his knife!

Cole Carter brings the knife down fast in Xavier’s chest.

Xavier screams.

Cole Carter slashes the knife across Xavier’s face! Leaving a sick gash mark.

Blood pours from his chest, and face.

Xavier falls facedown into the dirt. Cole Carter bends down, and stabs the knife into Xavier’s back. He takes it out, and does it six more times.

CUT TO:

EXT. OVERVIEW

Overview of the house. The house sits quiet.

WE MOVE-towards the house.

We get closer. We enter through an upstairs window.

CUT TO:

INT. ROOM

We enter a small dark room. The door is barely open. We move towards it.

We walk through it.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

We enter a corridor. We move down the corridor. Dallas, and Ariel turn onto our corridor.

ARIEL

You know. This place is not even that scary.

DALLAS

That’s because you got a black man right next to you. I bet if

I wasn’t here with you, you be screamin’ every corner you

They turn a corner, and bump into Zane.

Dallas, and Ariel jump.

DALLAS

Why you sneaking up on people?

ZANE

ARIEL

Have you seen the others, cause we are so lost.

ZANE

Yeah. Saw Xavier in the woods. Kinda scared him a little.

ARIEL

I don’t like you Zane.

ZANE

You don’t have to like me.

Ariel stares hard at Zane.

DALLAS

Well Ariel, let’s keep on movin’.

They walk past Zane.

ZANE

Have fun, guys.

Ariel turns around, and flips him off.

ZANE

Ah. Maybe later?

They walk on.

Zane walks down the corridor.

ZANE(to speaker)

I really like messing with these people. Except for that

Kylie Greene girl.

He turns a corner, and see’s Kylie walking towards him.

ZANE

Hi.

KYLIE

Hey.

ZANE

KYLIE

No ghosts. Just noises here, and there. You?

ZANE

Nothing. Seen the others?

KYLIE

Earlier. You?

ZANE

Kylie notices he doesn’t have a flashlight.

KYLIE

Where’s your flashlight?

ZANE

Don’t need one.

KYLIE

Are you serious? It’s hella dark.

ZANE

Not for me.

He smiles.

KYLIE

I like you. You’re not like the others.

ZANE

I could care less about the others.

KYLIE

Why you here?

ZANE

Excuse me?

KYLIE

Well I know your not here because you don’t like ghosts.

ZANE

I never said I don’t like ghosts.

KYLIE

But you don’t seem the type that does.

ZANE

Really? What do you think I’m here for?

Kylie laughs.

KYLIE

Okay. You won. I can’t stand this ghost shit.

KYLIE

He leans in close to her.

ZANE

I really like you.

KYLIE

You do?

ZANE

Uh huh.

KYLIE

It get’s silent. They stare into eachothers eyes. They both lean in, and start kissing.

Seconds later Kylie pushes him away.

ZANE

What’s the matter?

KYLIE

Wait. We’re on camera.

ZANE

So?

KYLIE

I don’t want to look like a tramp on T.V. I mean I just met

you a couple of hours ago.

ZANE

What’s wrong with that?

KYLIE

Everything.

They get silent. Kylie looks like she’s thinking really hard about something.

KYLIE

I always promised myself if I were ever on T.V. I was going

to do something crazy.

Kylie leans to Zane.

KYLIE

Let’s find a room.

ZANE

What changed your mind?

KYLIE

You. There’s just something about you.

CUT TO:

INT. BEDROOM

They enter a bedroom. They quickly take out their speakerphones from their ears.

They look at the bed.

It’s dusty.

ZANE

Not very romantic.

KYLIE

I don’t care about romantic.

ZANE

The bed is nasty.

Kylie walks over to a dresser, and pulls out something white.

KYLIE

Hey look, a clean sheet.

CUT TO:

INT. BEDROOM-LATER

She throws the clean sheet over on dusty bed.

ZANE

What if someone walks in?

KYLIE

Kylie gives Zane a sexy look. He moves towards her. They start kissing.

They both remove their shirts.

FADE TO:

INT. BEDROOM-LATER

There on the bed, kissing on top of eachother.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Ben walks around. His flashlight off. He yawns.

He leans up against the wall. And slides down to the floor.

He turns off the flashlight. He puts it on the ground.

BEN(to speaker)

I’m just going to close my eyes for a sec.

His eyes slowly close.

CUT TO:

CUT TO:

INT. BATHROOM

The door opens. Deirdre’s head peeks in. It’s a huge bathroom.

DEIRDRE

Oh yeah.

Deirdre enters. Closing the door behind her.

She walks over to a toilet.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

This is pretty nasty.

The toilet is rusty.

She starts jumping up, and down.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

I got to go so bad.

She moves towards the toilet.

DEIRDRE

Ahhh.......

CUT TO:

INT. BATHROOM-LATER

Deirdre walks over to the sink.

DEIRDRE(to speaker)

God! That was nasty.

She looks in the mirror, above the sink. She turns around. There is another mirror right behind her.

Deirdre flips her hair. She looks in the sink. It’s rusted up.

Her head moves up back to the mirror.

Cole Carter is standing right behind her!

Deirdre gasps. She turns around. In this we see Cole Carter standing behind Deirdre. She turns around again. Same thing. She turns around again.

Cole Carter stands right in front of her.

Deirdre opens her mouth to scream. But Cole Carter slices her throat.

Her scream is barely a whisper. Blood pours from her neck.

Deirdre turns to the door. Cole Carter slams her head into the mirror.

She runs out the door.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Blood pours from her head, and throat.

She falls to the ground. She get’s up. Cole Carter grabs Deirdre, and pushes her through a tall window.

CUT TO:

She land’s on the porch’s roof. She roll’s off it, and falls to the ground.

He turns into the living room.

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING ROOM

Ben enters. The room is silent, and dark.

BEN(to speaker)

I really don’t know how long I can take these noises.

A noise behind him. Ben turns around. No one. He walks back into the corridor.

CUT TO:

ARIEL

I wonder what that glass sound was.

Ghosts? You think?

DALLAS

Ha, no. I’m telling you.....

A door on their right comes into view. Ariel turns off her flashlight.

ARIEL

Let’s make this one exciting.

They reach the door.

A noise within the room, behind the door.

Dallas, and Ariel look at eachother.

Ariel’s hand reaches for the doorknob. They both start breathing heavy.

Ariel grabs the doorknob. Dallas pushes the door open, revealing..Ben.

They all scream, and jump back. Ariel drops her flashlight. The flashlight hit’s the floor, an instant bright flash happens less than a second.

They all sigh.

ARIEL

You ass fuck.

DALLAS

What the hell you doin’, man?

BEN

Me? I thought you guys were ghosts, or something.

They get silent.

DALLAS

Ghosts? You for reals?

Ariel looks at the floor, she picks up the flashlight. She switches the switch.

ARIEL(to Ben)

Thanks ass, you made drop the fucking flashlight, and now

it’s broken.

BEN

Well I got my flashlight.

His hands reach into his pocket, and nothing. His eyes close.

BEN

Shit. Where’s my flashlight?

Ben looks around.

DALLAS

Great! So we wonder in the dark?

ARIEL

Give us a chance to adjust to the darkness.

BEN

Where in the hell did I leave it?

WE MOVE-down the corridor, we see Ben’s flashlight on the floor, in the corner. We move into the living room, down another corridor, then up the stairs. We move down a corridor, and turn into a door.

Kylie stops. Zane turns to her.

ZANE

Did you really think that we’ll become boyfriend, and girlfriend?

Kylie looks at Zane.

He spots a fire poker in a corner.

BEN(to speaker)

Nothing special in here.

The attic door closes.

Ben turns to the closed door.

BEN(to speaker)

Shit!

He walks to the closed door, and pulls it open.

He looks down below the staircase, the other door is closed!

Ben looks puzzled.

BEN(to speaker)

Probably just some wind.

ZANE

Sorry. I didn’t mean it.

KYLIE

I’ll forgive you, but don’t talk to me.

She turns around, and walks away.

Zane watches Kylie walk away.

ZANE(to speaker)

I wonder if this guy has anything valuable here.

CUT TO:

INT. CLOSET

Ariel feel’s around the small closet. She pulls out a wooden bat from behind her.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR

Zane walks down the corridor.

ZANE(to speaker)

I’ve checked almost every room around here, and nothing

but worthless shit.

CUT TO:

INT. ROOM

Zane enters a room. He looks around.

ZANE(to speaker)

More worthless shit.

He makes his way to another door in the corner.

ZANE(to speaker)

Um? Maybe something good?

He grabs the doorknob, and pulls the door open.

The room is a small, dark closet.

Suddenly Ariel emerges from the back of the dark closet. She screams, and run’s towards Zane, with the bat in her hands.

Ariel jabs it in Zane’s stomach.

Zane grabs his stomach. Ariel swings the bat at Zane. It hits him on the stomach.

Ariel raises the bat, again. Zane quickly grabs the bat from her hands, and punches Ariel across the face.

Ariel flys against the wall.

Zane throws the bat down.

They both sigh.

ZANE

What the hell is your problem bitch?

Ariel cries.

ZANE

Ariel, I didn’t hit you that hard.

Zane starts rubbing his stomach.

ZANE

You fucking got me good though.

Ariel continues to cry.

ZANE

What the hell is wrong with you?

ARIEL

Dallas is dead.

ZANE

What? Your kidding?

ARIEL

No I’m not. Someone stabbed him.

ZANE

C’mon get real Ariel.

ARIEL

Why would I make this up?

ZANE

Ariel. I’m sure it’s a joke that Dallas, and Xavier planned.

Ariel wipes away her tears.

ARIEL

You think?

ZANE

C’mon Ariel, get real.

Zane rubs his stomach.

ZANE

God you got me good.

ARIEL

Sorry. I thought maybe you were....

ZANE

I wasn’t.

Zane starts to walk towards the door.

ARIEL

Wait! Where you going?

ZANE

Away.

ARIEL

Don’t leave me, please?

ZANE

Than c’mon.

Ariel stands up, and walks towards Zane.

CUT TO:

EXT. FRONT PORCH

The front door opens. Kylie steps out.

She walks over to the rail. She looks out into the night.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Maybe they’re outside?

She moves her head towards the ocean.

KYLIE(calling out)

Ben? Deirdre? Faith? Xavier?

No answer.

KYLIE(to speaker)

Did someone get hurt out here?

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN

Kylie enters the kitchen.

Zane, and Ariel sitting on chairs.

KYLIE

Ariel, where is everyone?

ARIEL

I dunno.

ZANE

We think Dallas, and Xavier are playing a little game with us.

KYLIE

Don’t talk to me. Simple as that.

ARIEL

I have a feeling that it’s not a joke.

ZANE

Ariel, it has to be.

KYLIE

What happened, Ariel?

ARIEL

I was looking for Dallas, and found him in the hallway,

then someone came up from behind, and stabbed him in the

back.

KYLIE

Who was it?

ARIEL

I didn’t see his face.

KYLIE

Upstairs, I found what looks like blood.

ARIEL

Oh my God.

ZANE

It’s a fucking joke, you guys. It has to be.

Zane stands up, and leaves the room.

ARIEL

What’s his problem?

KYLIE

What isn’t?

ARIEL

Do you really think it’s a joke?

KYLIE

I don’t know. Maybe.

ARIEL

If it is a joke, they pulled it off good.

KYLIE

Think about, they’re guys. Guys that like to play games.

ARIEL

Or they’re just trying to scare us out of a lot of money.

KYLIE

True to.

ARIEL

Have you seen Faith, or Deirdre?

KYLIE

No. Haven’t seen anyone lately besides Zane, and you.

ARIEL

Do you think Faith, and Deirdre are in on the joke?

KYLIE

I’m sure they talked them into it.

in the dark ready to scare us.

I wish I could just bump into someone.

A creak from behind. Ariel quickly turns around. No one. She looks around.

Suddenly Cole Carter walks up behind her! Ariel does not sense him behind her.

Ariel turns around. Her eyes open wide with fear. Cole Carter quickly brings the knife down into her chest.

Ariel opens her mouth to scream, but to late.
