Scream-The Alternate Version
Chapter One: Casey's Death
Casey Becker a student at Woodsboro high is fixing popcorn in the kitchen. She's expecting her boyfriend Steven Orth captain of the football team to visit. The two plan on watching a horror movie. The house phone rings. She answers casually.
"Hello." Casey said
"Hello." Said the voice of a mystery caller.
"Yes." Casey asked.
"Who is this?" Ghost Face asked.
"Who are you trying to reach?" Casey responds.
"What number is this?" Ghost Face asked.
"What number are you trying to reach?" Casey asked.
"I don't know." Ghost Face said to her.
"I think you have the wrong number." Casey said.
"Do I?" Ghost Face said.
"It happens. Take it easy." Casey
Phone Rings again. Casey stares at the phone a second before answering it again.
"Hello." Casey said.
"I'm sorry I guess I dialed the wrong number." Ghost Face said to Casey.
"So why'd you dial it again?" Casey asked confused but curious.
"To apologize." Ghost Face said to her.
"You're forgiven bye now." She said about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, wait. Don't hang up." Ghost Face says.
"What?" Casey asked.
"I wanna talk to you for a second." Ghost Face.
"They've got 900 numbers for that. See ya." She hangs up the phone.
The white house Casey lives in is located in a secluded area. There's an eerie feeling at this time of night. Casey makes her way into the kitchen and turns on the stove when the phone rings again. Annoyed, she answers the phone for the third time.
"Hello." Casey
"Why don't you wanna talk to me?" Ghost Face asks.
"Who is this?" Casey asks.
"You tell me your name and I'll tell you mine." Ghost Face said to her.
"I don't think so." She's fixing her popcorn. Ghost Face on the other line can hear this.
"What's that noise?" Ghost Face asks.
"Popcorn." Casey responds.
"You're making popcorn?" Ghost Face asks.
"Uh-huh." Casey responds.
"I only eat popcorn at the movies." Ghost Face said to her.
"I'm getting ready to watch a video." Casey says casually.
"Really? What?" Ghost Face asks curiously.
"Just some scary movie." Casey said.
"You like scary movies?" Ghost Face asks.
"Uh-huh." Casey says.
"What's your favorite scary movie?" Ghost Face asked.
"Um I don't know." Casey
"You have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?" Ghost Face asks.
"Um, Halloween. You know the guy with the white mask that walks around stalking the babysitters." Casey said.
"Yeah." Ghost Face said.
"What's yours?" Casey asked.
"Guess." Ghost Face asked.
"Um, MM. Nightmare On Elmstreet." Casey said.
"Is that the one where the killer has knives for fingers?" Ghost Face asked her.
"Yeah Freddy Krugar." Casey said remembering the name of the killer in that particular movie.
"Yeah Freddy that's right. I like that movie. It was scary." Ghost Face said.
"Well the first one was but the rest sucked." Casey said.
"So you gotta boyfriend?" Ghost Face asked her.
"Why, do you wanna ask me out on a date?" Casey said flirting.
"Maybe, do you have a boyfriend?" Ghost Face asked her flirting back.
"No." Casey said lying.
"You never told me your name?" Ghost Face said to her.
"Why do you wanna know my name?" Casey asked.
"Cause I wanna know who I'm looking at?" Ghost Face said to her.
Casey stopped a moment. Had she heard him right?
"What did you?" She asked hoping she heard wrong.
"I wanna know who I'm talking to." Ghost Face lied.
"That's not what you said." Casey asked.
"What do you think I said?" Ghost Face asked. Casey didn't answer looking around the house. If she heard this person right and she did then he's watching her from the outside. "What? Hello." Ghost Face asked. Casey looked out the porch door to see if she could spot who ever was calling her. She didn't see anyone.
"Look, I gotta go." She's now alarmed and scared.
"Wait I thought we were gonna go out?" Ghost Face said to her.
"I don't think so." Casey said annoyed.
"Don't hang up me." Ghost Face warned menacingly.
Casey hung up the phone. Despite being a little scared, she just chalked up to one of her a stupid ass classmates pulling a prank on her. As the popcorn cooked on the stove, Casey was on her way back into the kitchen when the phone rang again for the fourth time. She's now getting annoyed.
"Shit." She cursed before answering again. "Yes." She asked annoyed.
"I told you not to hang up on me." Ghost Face told her.
"What do you want?" Casey asked.
"To talk." Ghost Face responds.
"Well dial some else ok." She said then hanging up the phone. The phone rings for a fifth straight time. Pissed off that this person wasn't taking a hint, Casey decides this is the last time this person calls again. "Listen asshole."
"No you listen you little bitch. If you hang up on me again, I'll gut you like fish understand." Ghost Face warned. Casey's facial expression changed from angry to frightened. "Yeah."
"Is this some kind of joke?" Casey asked.
"More of a game really. Can you handle that blondie?" The Ghost Face said menacingly.
Casey frantically ran through the hall making sure to lock the doors in the house. She's scared crying still clutching the phone in her hand. The door bell rings scaring her.
"Can you see me?" Ghost Face asked her.
"Listen I am two seconds away from calling the cops." Casey said scared out of her mind.
"They'd never make it in time. We're out in the middle of nowhere." Ghost Face said to her.
"What do you want?" Casey asked.
"To see what you insides look like." Ghost Face said coldly. Casey is crying and hangs up the phone. The door bell rings scaring her.
"Who's there? Who's there? I'm calling the police." She says again before the phone rings for sixth time. She answers it.
"You should never say who's there. Don't watch scary movies? It's a death wish. You mind as well came out here and investigate a strange noise or something." Ghost Face said to her.
"Look, you've had your fun so I think you better leave or else." Casey says crying.
"Or else what?" Ghost Face retorted
"Or else my boyfriend will be here any second now and he'll be pissed when he finds out." Casey threatened.
"I thought you didn't have a boyfriend?" Ghost Face said to her.
"I lied I do have a boyfriend and he'll be here any second so your ass better be gone." Casey said crying. She doesn't know where her boyfriend is at this point and is terrified.
"Sure." Ghost Face taunted.
"I swear." She said crying. "He's big and he plays football and he'll kick the shit out of you." She screamed into the phone.
"I'm getting so scared. I'm shaking in my boots." Ghost Face taunted.
"So you better just leave." Casey said sobbing hysterically into the phone.
"His name wouldn't be Steve would it?" Ghost Face asked her.
Shocked Casey wondered how this person who is taunting her over the phone could possibly know her boyfriend's name.
"How do you know his name?" She asked.
"Turn on the patio light again." The Ghost Face told her. Casey now realizes this isn't a trick. Whoever is calling her taunting her, has been watching her all this time.
Casey goes back over to the patio door and turns the lights back on. The light reveals her boyfriend Steven Orth tied to one of the patio chairs. He face covered in blood indicating that he might have been assaulted before being tied to the chair.
"Oh god." She screams hysterically. Steven tries getting her to help him. He screams for her but with tape around his mouth, she can't hear him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Ghost Face warned.
"Where are you?" Casey asks crying.
"Guess." Ghost Face asked her.
"Please don't do this." Casey begs.
"That all depends on you." Ghost Face tells her.
"What do you want?" Casey asked.
"I wanna play a game. Or he dies right now." Ghost Face said to Casey who cries out.
"Which is it? Which is it?" Ghost Face asked.
"What kind of game?" Casey asks trying to get this ghost face to leave them alone.
"Turn off the patio light and you'll see what kind of game." Ghost Face ordered. Casey hesitated a moment. "Just do it." She does. "Here's how we play, I ask a question Steve lives."
"Please don't do this." Casey begs.
"Come on it'll be fun." Ghost Face said.
"Please." Casey begs again.
"The category is movie trivia." Ghost Face said ignoring her plea.
"Please don't do this." Casey begged.
"I'll even give you a warm up question." Ghost Face told her.
"Please." Casey continues to beg.
"Name the killer in Halloween?" Ghost Face asked her.
"No." Casey told him.
"Come on. It's your favorite scary movie remember? He had the white mask and stalked the babysitters." Ghost Face said to her.
"I don't know." Casey said through her sobs.
"Come on yes you do." Ghost Face said.
"No please?" Casey continues to beg.
"What's his name?" Ghost Face asked.
"No please." Casey sobs.
"Steve's counting on you." Ghost Face said to her reminding her of the game.
"Michael, Michael Myers." Casey said guessing the right answer.
"YES. Very Good. Now for the real question." Ghost Face said congratulating her.
"Nooo." Casey begged.
"But you're doing so well. We can't stop now." Ghost Face told her.
"Please leave us alone." Casey continues to beg.
"Then answer the question. Name the killer in Friday the 13th?" Ghost Face asked her.
"Jason, Jason, Jason." Casey answered quickly thinking she has the right answer.
"I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer." The Ghost Face said to her.
"Not its not, not its not. It was Jason." Casey said sure of her answer.
"Afraid not. No way." Ghost Face said to her.
"Listen I saw the movie twenty goddamn times." Casey barked.
"Then you should know that Jason's mother Ms. Vorhees was the original killer. Jason didn't show up until the sequel. "I'm afraid that was a wrong answer." Ghost Face taunted.
"You tricked me." Casey said realizing what had just happened.
"Lucky for you there's a bonus round. Poor Steve, I'm afraid he's out." Ghost Face taunted.
A stabbing sound is heard by Casey. Steve is gutted like a thanksgiving turkey. Casey turns on the patio light again to find Steve dying his insides on the outside for Casey to see. She's horrified by the sight of her boyfriend dead. Ghost Face laughs taunting her.
"Hey, we're not finished yet." Ghost Face says. "Final question. Are you ready?"
"Leave me alone." Casey said terrified now realizing what situation is in.
"Answer the question and I will. What door am I at?" Ghost Face asks.
"What?" Casey asks confused.
"There are two main entrances to your house, the front door and the patio. Answer correctly and you live. It's very simple." Ghost Face told her.
"Don't do this. I can't. I won't." Casey said to him.
"You're call." Ghost Face said as a patio chair is thrown into the patio door shattering the glass. Whatever safety Casey thought she had was now gone. Who ever killed Steve is after her. She ran into the kitchen and grabbed one of the sharp knives. She slowly backed up trying to make her way outside of the house. A figure in a black suit wearing a ghost mask can be seen by her. Casey gets outside of the house and hides. The figure in the ghost face outfit was obviously looking for her. She turns to see a car coming towards her house and sighed deeply. She recognized the car belonging to her parents. Casey squatted down trying to sneak by the windows so the killer won't find her but she stands up and is met with the figure in the ghost face mask who breaks the glass holding her. Casey hits the killer a couple of times in the face before she's let go. Casey then runs around the house. Seeing that her parents' car pulled up to the house, Casey stands there hoping her mom will see her. No such luck. Suddenly the figure lunges out the other window at her. She takes off with the killer in tow. The killer catches up to Casey, grabbing her from behind and stabs her in the shoulder. Casey falls to the ground. The killer gets on top of her and deciding to choke her. Casey makes one last attempt to save her self. She kicks the killer in the groin. She can see her parents getting out of their car and heading for the house. Casey slowly stands to her feet. Making her way towards the house but and can't speak.
"Mom." She tries to say but the word won't come out. She watches as her parents make their way inside their home, Casey's attack going unnoticed by them. The killer is behind her and knocks her down on the front porch. She reaches up and removes the killer's mask revealing to her who could possibly do this to her. The killer raises the knife and stabs her.
Meanwhile her parents have gone into the house. Mr. Becker is the first to notice the smoke.
"Jesus." He said.
"Casey. Casey." Mrs. Becker called her daughter's name in vain. She quickly removes the burning popcorn and immediately throws it into the sink. "CASEY, CASEY, CASEY."
"Take the car drive down to the McKinley's. Call the police." Mr. Becker said to his panic stricken wife.
"Not my daughter. Not my baby." Mrs. Becker cried.
"Go." Mr. Becker told her. She turns and heads out the door. He didn't know where Casey was and hoped that she was ok. His wife screams only told him everything he needed to know. He quickly stepped outside of the door and saw what his wife saw. Their only daughter Casey Becker hung from the tree out in the front yard. DEAD.
