What not to do in a Horror Story/Movie/Folk Tale
Opening
Seven people are sitting around a table, speaking about a very important/recent/heart-breaking/horrifying event. A school project. They all have to make a film about a recent event happening. Though they cannot figure out what they should make…
"OMG, we should totally make a documentary about makeup!" said Jennifer, a popular, egotistical brat from the rich side of town.
"How about not," replied Jacob, a critical, but nice character (easy to manipulate in a story), "We should create an educational film about Penguins and Global Warming!"
"I like it." Spencer was the one to say this. He was Jacob's best friend. (Note: WAS Jacob's best friend)
"No, let's do an animation. We can research about one kind of animation and then create one ourselves," John spoke with some excitement in his voice. He was the happy, likeable character that everyone always loves, and hates to die.
"What like one of your stupid Pokémon!" laughed Ty, the athletic lovebird was always being followed by his girlfriend, Betsy, who just happened to make the next comment.
"Come on Ty-Ty, no fighting. Let's just cool down, and think this through. We are a group, and this is a group project."
"This is a current events project; let's do something that is a town event," suggested Paul. Paul was the most normal out of all of them.
"What about the recent murders and disappearances around town! God, you guys can't even think of the one most obvious answer!" screamed Grace, the quiet goth of the group.
The rest of the group agreed, and nodded their heads, but how were they going to accomplish this?
"Hey, guys, why don't we just go out into the middle of the woods for about a week, that could be fun!" said Jennifer.
"That sounds like a great idea! The killer is supposed to be out in the very middle of the woods where there is no one around to find him or our dead bodies when he kills us!" said John, in a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah, well I don't see you coming up with any good ideas, b*tch," screamed Jennifer in replay.
"Why don't we just wait until the killer strikes again? We will each partner up and sleep over at each other's houses until the killer arrives. Then when the killer strikes, there will be someone else there to protect the other!" said Ty.
"How about we just go home and go to bed, I am tired. We'll talk about this tomorrow after school," said Grace in an annoyed tone.
The rest agreed, and stood up to leave John's house…
It was 10:30 at night and John was just completing his homework. He was tired, and if he were to be attacked by a serial killer, he would not be able to defend himself. As he slowly trudged up the stairs, the door bell rang. John walked up to the door and opened it to be greeted by Jennifer.
"Yes, what do you want," asked John.
"Well I was wondering if I could stay over at your house, my parents are gone this week, and I was scared at my house," Jennifer said.
"Um, sure, there is a small guest house in the backyard. You will have to take a bit of a walk into the woods, but not that far."
"Oh, thanks! Could I bring a flashlight!" exclaimed Jennifer.
John nodded, and continued up stairs. Jennifer conveniently found a flashlight right next to her on the ground and took it out side…
On the other side of town Paul has managed to stay up with Grace to talk about the killings in Paul's very own home.
"Well, I cannot go to sleep with this guy going around killing in random orders," said Paul.
"Yeah, I understand where you are coming from," Grace replied, "Oh, and where is that pizza that you ordered an hour ago?"
"Um, I don't know, I'll go see outside."
Just then, the door bell rang, and both teenagers stood up.
"Stay here, you get the plates and utensils out, and I will go get the pizza," Paul said as he stood up. A bit nervous, he walked to the door and opened it, but no pizza guy was visible! He looked around, and jumped at the noise of someone screaming from the woods. "Oh my gosh, what the hell was that," Paul thought out loud, "I should probably investigate!" Paul walked out of the house and into the woods and followed the screaming until he saw something that he would never forget about. This stopped John dead in his tracks…
End of Opening
Noticeable Mistakes of Opening
There were only a couple dumb mistakes in this movie that any typical scary movie would have. First off, never walk into the woods alone, and even for the lamest excuses. In case you noticed, Jennifer wanted to be with someone where it was safe, not in the middle of the woods in some old guest house. Second off, don't follow the screams of your pizza man coming from the woods. Assume that that he is being eaten alive by Dracula or something of that sort.
