1 -- EXT. Timmy's Car--TWILIGHT -- 1 Timmy's car travels through the wind of an oncoming storm. It pulls up to the gate of Hill House. Hill House is a large, imposing mansion, looking very New England. Timmy takes out a key and unlocks the gate. He drives the car up to the front door.
2 -- EXT. HILL HOUSE--FRONT DOOR -- 2 Timmy exits the car, holding a bag and looking at the two barking guard dogs. The dogs approach Timmy . . . then jump. Timmy quickly pulls a big beef bone out of the bag and hurls it to them. The dogs trot away to gnaw on the bone as Timmy rolls up the bag. Timmy cinches their chain so it won't allow them to reach the door. He steps toward the door . . . and sniffs. Timmy pauses and checks the bottom of his feet. Dog crap. He looks in disgust at the dogs, who aren't bothered at all.
3 -- INT. GROUND FLOOR--THE HALL -- 3 The Hall of Hill House is remarkable, elegant but not gaudy. It is furnished in dark wood, and brass, with crystal chandeliers. There are several doors on each side of the hall and three at the end. To the left: Lounge and dining room. To the right: Study, library, and billiard room. The end: Conservatory, ball room, bathroom, and kitchen. The stairs are located to the right. By the staircase is the door to the basement steps. We hear "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" in the background. Timmy opens the front door of Hill House and wipes off his foot. He enters and hangs up his coat.Timmy steps briskly down the Hall steps toward the library.
