Night Of The Boogeymen
Chapter 2
By Jake Denton (kingcobra49036@yahoo.com)
12. Ext. Street - Day
SUPER the legend: "Hadabrainfield, Halloween."
The legend FADES OUT, and is replaced with
SUPER the legend: 'You're still reading this? You're braver then we thought!"
It is a calm peaceful day. In your mind, picture a fictional town on some obscure sitcom. This town is just like that. Hard-working people and their simple lives are here.
On the end of one street stands an expensive looking WHITE HOUSE. CAMERA freeze-frames on this house for a second, then slowly advances towards it.
The front door opens and a teenage girl, LAINIE CURTIS, emerges onto the porch. A tall, stately middle aged-man, presumably her FATHER, follows, watching his daughter walk towards school.
FATHER
Don't forget to drop off the key at the Murders place.
LAINIE looks back, all smiles.
LAINIE
Okay, dad.
FATHER
And buy some groceries on the way home.
LAINIE
(less patiently, but keeping composed)
I won't forget, father.
FATHER
Pay the electric bill, too, okay?
LAINIE
(completely annoyed)
What, you want me to pay the whole town?!
FATHER
Don't be silly, sweetheart. You have no money.
(pause)
Your mother'll do it.
LAINIE'S POV a middle-aged woman, dressed and wearing like a slut, comes outside in a thong and bikini top. Nothing else.
INSERT Lainie, creeped out by this sight, keeps walking to her school. She's carrying a whole shitload of books. Lainie is quite the bookworm.
BOY (Off-screen)
LAINIE!
The teenaged girl looks to her left to see a small boy, TOMMY SPOILED, running towards her. He wants to talk to her incessantly.
LAINIE
(smiles. She's totally perky)
Hey, Dummy.
LAINIE'S POV the boy frowns in annoyance, but decides better then to throw a tantrum over it.
TOMMY
I'm Tommy.
LAINIE
Whatever. I'll be by tonight, okay?
TOMMY
(he brightens up instantly)
At 7:00, right?
LAINIE smiles instantaneously. The kids sure seem to love her.
LAINIE
Right.
(sees she's reached the Murders house)
I'll be right back, okay?
TOOMY'S POV Lainie starts up onto the porch, and leaves the key under the doormat, before returning to where he's standing, waiting for her. Tommy looks fearfully at her.
TOMMY
You're not supposed to go up there. Nobody is. Some scary stuff happened there.
LAINIE
I had to go up there.
TOMMY
Why?
Lainie smiles again at Tommy sweetly. Kids and their naiveté'...
LAINIE
So I could drop off a key to the place.
TOMMY
Why?
LAINIE
So my father can sell this house.
TOMMY
Why?
LAINIE
Because that's what he does for a living.
Tommy doesn't let up. Lainie's temper is beginning to rise.
TOMMY
Why?
LAINIE
(whirls on him, heavily pissed)
STOP ASKING ME WHY, YOU LITTLE FUCKER!!!!!!!
TOMMY
Why?
LAINIE
(about to pull her hair out)
Aaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! KID YOU ARE DRIVING ME NUTSO!!!!!
TOMMY
Why?
Lainie screams in enraged insanity.
TOMMY
(looking straight up ahead at road)
There's my school. I'll see you tonight, Lainie!
(waves goodbye)
Lainie looks at him, some of the irritated scowl gone.
LAINIE
Not if I see you first in my car, you little brat...
Lainie looks up at the gloomy house. It looks almost FRIGHTENING as it rests under the glare of the morning sun.
There is a MUSICAL STINGER as LAINIE steps up onto the creepy house. There is a sense of grave danger here.
LAINIE'S POV a rusty truck pulls up, and a man, whose looks and style scream insanity, gets out of the driver's side of the vehicle. He SQUINTS up at her.
MAN
(Texas accent)
Hey, how much for the house?
Lainie smiles at him. Maybe her father could sell the house after all!
LAINIE
$30,000,000,000
LAINIE'S POV the man looks slightly pissed. This is not good.
MAN
30 Billion?! For this dump?!
(looks at back of truck)
GET THE BITCH, LEATHERFACE!
A chainsaw wielding MAN hops out from under a tarp in the flat end of the truck and chases Lainie down the street, chainsaw whirring. Lainie runs screaming.
13. Int. School - Hallway - 5 Minutes Later
INSERT LAINIE running through the door into the hallway. She is BREATHING HEAVILY. Her hair is in disarray, and her new sweater is no so longer so fresh. In fact, it looks soaked with sweat.
LAINIE
Those crazy Texans.
(pause)
Thank god I lost them.
She walks out of frame, headed to her class.
14. Int. Hospital - Main Entrance - Same Time
DR. LOONY walks out of the doors with his colleague, DR. LOSE.
DR. LOONY
I want you to get back on that phone and tell the sheriff where Mental is going!
DR. LOSE
PROBABLY going.
(to emphasize his point)
Slam, you know that Mental cannot drive!
DR. LOONY
(surprised)
Drive? Who said that Mental was driving? He has his own Tow Truck service! "Towing For Killers".
(gets into his car)
I've got to go.
DR. LOSE watches him, apprehensively.
DR LOSE
Where are you going? To find Mental?
DR. LOONY
Why would I give a shit about him? Let him go, where he could potentially kill people and become a threat to public safety! I don't care, as long as I get to the Party Store before that last lotto ticket is gone!
(tries to start car. Car doesn't give)
Move, you rusted piece of crap! Let's go!
(car speeds off at 115 MPH)
Yeee-haw! Here I go, motherfuckers!!
15. Int. School - Classroom - 30 Minutes Later
Lainie is sitting in her desk, her textbook opened to the assigned page, while in the F.G. her teacher is talking offscreen. The rest of the class do their best not to get too drowsy. Most are failing.
TEACHER
Lainie?
Lainie looks up, irritated. What does she want?
LAINIE
(faked politeness)
Yes, ma'am?
TEACHER
Answer the question.
Lainie looks at the class nervously. No sense in trying to stall.
LAINIE
(sweating profusely)
Constaine wrote that fate was somehow related only to religion, where Samuels felt that fate was like a natural element, like earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
SUPERIMPOSE The teacher stares at Lainie for a minute, while the class begins to titter.
Lainie is definitely even more nervous by their reactions, and it shows in her face.
TEACHER
(not knowing what else to say)
Uh, that's very interesting, Lainie. But the question was, what is the student council planning for this year's Senior Class trip?
Oops. Lainie looks embarrassed, but tries not to show it. Instead, she goes to the front of the room, and sets up a slide show of the intended location. It's picture time for the class. No one looks enthused.
LAINIE
Every year, the graduating class celebrate their newfound freedom, in differing areas.
(She changes slides)
This year, we have a spot that is so relaxing, so remote, that no one is hardly ever there. This year, our class trip will be spent at...
SUPERIMPOSE on LAINIE as she switches slides again.
LAINIE
CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE!!!
The school BELL rings, ending the school day, and Lainie starts to leave, with her friend, a leggy blonde slut named LYDIA.
16. Int. high School - Hallway
Lainie and Lydia walk side by side, talking. Or rather, Lydia is talking, and Lainie is trying not to shoot herself to make the conversation end.
LAINIE
So, are you going to tonight's dance?
LYDIA
Yeah. I mean, I only have a 3:00 appointment at the Beauty Salon, a 4:00 appointment at the drugstore to pick up my mother's prescription, and the daily scheduled 4:30 blowjob for my boyfriend Bobby.
(beat)
Hey, Lainie?
Lainie is only half listening. She's too busy reading her chemistry book as she walks.
LAINIE
Hmmmm?
LYDIA
(hopeful)
Do you think I look fat?
LAINIE
What kind of fuck-up question is that?
LYDIA
Just answer me.
LAINIE
No, you do not look fat.
(Lydia looks pleased. Lainie mumbles)
Not compared to Patsy "Fatty" Burbull.
Lydia looks at Lainie, almost suspiciously.
Lydia
What?
Lainie realizes that Lydia heard what she said, and tries to compensate the situation.
LAINIE
(quickly)
I didn't say anything.
Almost on impulse, the two turn to see their other friend, KRISTY RACKETT, an ugly brunette, approaching quickly.
LAINIE
Hey, Kristy.
LYDIA
Hello, Kristy. What's new?
KRISTY
(angry and petty)
I don't want to talk. Let's just go, okay?
RIGHT ANGLE Kristy starts to walk off, leaving Lainie and Lydia no alternative but to chase after her quickly.
LYDIA
What's wrong?
Kristy sighs, and turns to look at them. She is evidently not very happy right now.
KRISTY
Where should I start? Let's see, I was supposed to pick Howie up tonight to go to the Halloween Dance, but after fooling around in the locker room...
INSERT Both Lainie and Lydia's faces break into disapproval modes.
LAINIE
Slut
LYDIA
Fucking whore.
Kristy looks at them, and flips them off, repressed.
KRISTY
Fuck you both.
(pause)
Anyway, he said he was caught, you know...
(her hand mimes the jacking off motion)
...and now he's grounded. No dance, no MTV, and no PENTHOUSE.
CLOSE Lainie sympathizes with her friend. Not.
LAINIE
Poor Kristy. Loser as always.
KRISTY
(glaring a thousand deaths at Lainie)
Hey, at least I HAVE a boyfriend, Miss-I-stay-home-on-Saturday-nights-to-study -Shakespeare.
LYDIA
(intercepts the coming fight, looks at Kristy)
Why don't you just dump the 'tard?
KRISTY
He's not a retard.
From the way Lainie looks at Lydia, it's pretty blatant that they disagree.
LYDIA
(serious)
Kristy, dancing around on the front lawn wearing nothing but a lamp shade on your head, and repeating the words "take me to your leader, while holding his breath until his face turns blue, IS retarded.
KRISTY
Yeah? At least MY boyfriend doesn't dress like a woman, Miss I'm-Dating-A-Drag-Queen!
(to Lainie)
You babysitting again tonight?
Lainie nods agreeably, not saying a word. Just the thought of babysitting has brought back her foul mood, left over from her earlier conversation with the kid at the Murders' House.
LAINIE
(grouchy)
Yeah. I'm watching Tommy Spoiled tonight at 7.
KRISTY
(frowns)
Well, I've gotta watch my bratty sister again tonight.
LAINIE
Lizzie?
Kristy nods.
KRISTY
I just wish we hadn't adopted her from that god-awful family, the Bordens. Ever since, Lizzie joined my family, she hasn't let go of the goddamn axe. I'm just afraid she'll make fireplace logs out of us one of these days.
LAINIE
Well, if she tries to, just call the cops.
LYDIA suddenly looks over Lainie's shoulder at the distant curb.
LYDIA
Hey, who's that?
INSERT Both Kristy and Lainie turn at once to see the approaching station wagon. It's MENTAL MURDERS, driving DR. LOONY'S stolen vehicle, and watching them almost hungrily, but they don't know that yet.
In fact, they cannot even get a look at the driver.
KRISTY
Isn't that Todd Marshall?
LAINIE
I don't think so. He drives a Ford Chevy Blazer. Very stylish.
The three girls stare at the moving car, all of them extremely curious.
LYDIA
Who is it?
KRISTY
I don't know.
LYDIA
Let's find out.
(yelling at car as it goes by)
HEY, ASSWIPE! SPEED KILLS!!!
INSERT the car just brakes to a SCREECH at the intersection and remains parked there. The driver is obviously pissed off at that last comment. Lydia looks fearful.
LYDIA
(swallowing her surprise)
Some people just have NO sense of humor.
The three girls walk away, babbling amongst themselves, their backs turned on the car.
INSERT the car starts to slide forwards again, letting the incident go, apparently. But then another vehicle zooms in from the left zone, plowing into the state vehicle, and careening it into a telephone pole.
MENTAL goes flying out the windshield, and lands on his head on the paved road.
The three girls keep walking, too busy talking to even hear the car wreck.
LYDIA
Whoever that was, he probably sucks in the sack, anyway.
INSERT behind them, the car pointlessly explodes into flames.
COMING SOON...
Okay, so Mental is stalking LYDIA, KRISTY, AND LAINIE now, but what else is going to happen? Does Michael recover from the car explosion? Will anyone survive this corny night? Will Tommy ever stop asking "why"? Does Kristy ever learn the meaning of the words "safe sex"? Will people keep checking back for the chapter 3 that will be up in the next couple of days? Will I ever get reviews for this in my email address kingcobra49036@yahoo.com? Stay tuned! The answers will be posted soon!
