EXT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- DRIVEWAY
Breanna's vehicle pulls in the driveway. Casey gets out of the car, waving as Breanna backs out and speeds off out of sight. Casey has her bag slung over her shoulder and several books cradled in her arms. She makes her way across the yard, coming to a stop at the front door. The girl shifts all the books gently into one arm, slowly reaching into her jeans pocket for her set of keys. She struggles for several minutes, then finally manages to yank them out. The door makes a loud clicking sound as she unlocks it and disappears inside.
INT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- LIVING ROOM
As Casey sits her books and bag down on the couch, she looks up at the clock on the wall. It's currently 3:57 pm. She had to be at the Brady's house by seven. The girl lets out a gasp when she realizes she doesn't have a way there. She was old enough to have her drivers' license, she just had been too busy with school work to worry about that.
Casey yanks her phone from her pocket, calling Breanna, who answers almost immediately.
CASEY
Hey, Breanna. I hate to ask this, but would it be too much trouble for you and Logan to drop me off at the Brady's house on your way to the party? They literally live right down the street from Caleb. I know he said he wasn't picking you up until seven, but that's when I have to be to their house…
BREANNA (V.O.)
Sure, no problem. I'll get Logan to pick me up a little earlier, then we will come to get you. 6:30 sound good?
CASEY
Yes! Thank you so much.
BREANNA (V.O.)
Anytime. And Casey, did it really just now occur to you that you would need someone to take you? I swear, you'd lose your butt if it wasn't attached to you.
CASEY
I don't think that's the phrase everyone uses but okay….
Casey and Breanna talk for a moment longer before hanging up. Casey sighs, tossing the phone onto the couch. She disappears into another room of the house.
[CUT TO]
Dr. Hartley, arriving in Haddonfield. He looks at the sign for a moment, a sense of dread washing over him. He knows that if Michael is out somewhere, this is the place to find him. The plan was to head straight to the police station and warn the sheriff. However, he didn't hold up much hope that the police would listen to him. The last cops he had dealt with were pretty much useless. He comes to a stop at a red light, letting out a nervous sigh.
As he waits for the light to change, he looks around at the town. To his left is a small coffee shop. On his right is the public library. Straight ahead sits Haddonfield High School. His phone alerts him to a text, which he picks up to read as a large black pickup truck come speeding through the intersection right before their light goes red. In the bed of the pickup truck are two big bundles of sheets.
[Soundtrack trills]
As the truck goes out of sight, Dr. Hartley tosses his phone down just as the light turns green. He puts his foot on the gas, also disappearing from view.

INT. RAYNE RESIDENCE- CALEB'S ROOM
Caleb lays in bed, undressed under the sheets. He looks sweaty. Brandi stands in front of the bed in nothing but her bra and panties. She picks her shirt up from the floor, tugging it down over her head.
BRANDI
So what do we still need to do to get ready for the party?
CALEB
My brother should be bringing the beer soon. I guess we just need to go to the store and get some kind of food…
BRANDI
Are you fucking kidding me?! You don't even have any food yet!?
Caleb gives Brandi a goofy grin. She doesn't look amused as she pulls her jeans up over her hips.
CALEB
I'm sorry, babe. I just didn't think that far ahead.
BRANDI
Get your ass out of bed. I guess we had better hurry and go get some stuff.
Caleb tries to jump out of the bed but ends up getting tangled in the sheets, causing him to hit the floor hard. Brandi busts into laughter. Caleb sits up, ruffling his hair with a hand. Another goofy grin is plastered on his face.
BRANDI
You know, even when I try to be mad at you, I still end up laughing. I love you.
CALEB
Gee, babe, I love you too!
She can't help but think that maybe she has been too hard on him lately. After all, he did a lot to make her happy. She makes a note in her head to start being nicer to him. And maybe to Kat, too.

INT. DANIELS'
RESIDENCE- LIVING ROOM
Kat sits on the couch with her sister, DORA, who is three years younger than her. Basically, Dora looks exactly like Kat, but younger. The two siblings seem to be in deep conversation.
DORA
So why don't you just do something about it?
KAT
I already told you why, Dora. He has a girlfriend. And if I came between them, I'm pretty sure the group would be on her side over mine, and I don't want to lose them.
DORA
But you would get to be with Caleb then. From the way you talk, it seems to me that he is into you. If they dropped you over something like that, were they really your friends in the first place?
Kat frowns, thinking about what Dora has said. She definitely believed that Caleb had feelings for her, but she would feel bad if she ruined his and Brandi's relationship. She didn't really like Brandi, but she did like Logan, Breanna, and Casey. What would they think of her?
DORA
Why don't you just get him to ravage you, so that way it'll look like his fault instead of yours?
KAT
Dora, you know just as well as I do that that won't work. It takes two, you know. But if I get some alcohol in me tonight, who knows what'll happen. And then there's the music. You know I can't control the booty when the music starts.
Dora starts to say something, then closes her mouth. Kat sighs, getting up. It was such a hard situation to be in. Why did she have to have feelings for Caleb? It wasn't fair.

INT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- LIVING ROOM
Casey comes into the living room with a chocolate bar in hand. She takes a bite of it after plopping down on the couch. She looks around for the remote, finding it between two cushions. The girl turns the TV on, and begins to scroll through the channels, stopping when she finds a channel playing Grey's Anatomy. She becomes invested in the events taking place on the screen.
EXT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- FRONT YARD
A black pickup truck slowly drives past the house.
[CAMERA PANS AROUND TO THE STREET TO FOLLOW TRUCK]
The truck comes to a stop on the side of the road a few houses down. The door opens, and we see a pair of boots hit the pavement.
CUT TO- INT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- LIVING ROOM
Casey continues to watch Grey's Anatomy for the next hour and a half. As the end credits music plays, Casey slowly makes her way off of the couch. She makes her way into the kitchen, tossing the candy bar wrapper into the trash can. She walks over to the fridge.
[THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S POV OUTSIDE THE HOUSE]
Casey opens the door of the fridge, disappearing as she leans down to get something out. She comes back into view a few moments later, holding a jug of milk. She gets a glass from one of the cabinets and begins to pour some into it. Whoever is watching her comes closer to the window, knocking over a flower pot in the process. Casey's head darts up, towards the window. The person ducks out of sight.
[BACK TO CASEY'S POV]
Casey walks over to the window, peering out. The girl could've sworn she'd just heard something fall over on the porch. Slowly, she makes her way over to the patio door. The door creaks on its hinges as she opens it.
EXT. BACK PORCH
Casey notices a broken flower pot lying on the porch. She looks around for the culprit, noticing a black cat sitting on the bottom step of the porch. A stray cat. Casey sighs, trying to figure out how a cat could have knocked the flower pot over.
[THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S POV]
The person peeks around the corner of the house at Casey, who is kneeling in front of the flower pot. The person can be heard breathing heavily. The figure darts behind the house as Casey turns in their direction. She doesn't catch them.
[CASEY'S POV]
Casey sighs, stepping back into the house.
As she steps back into the house, Casey looks at the clock, gasping. It's already six o'clock. Logan and Breanna would be there to get her soon. The girl shrieks, running off to get ready, not bothering to lock the patio door…

INT. GROCERY STORE
Caleb and Brandi walk down an aisle, in the middle of a conversation.
CALEB
-just that she shouldn't get so sensitive.
BRANDI
I mean, I understand what you're telling me, but how would you feel if you had a maniac relative who killed your family and people made fun of it?
CALEB
Well, I guess I wouldn't like it too much…
BRANDI
Exactly!
Brandi grabs three cases of soda from the shelf, setting them on the under carriage of the buggy. She looks at the cart, full of party snacks and other items. She lets out a sigh.
BRANDI
Alright, I think we have everything we need. Lets' hurry and get in the check out lines.
CALEB
Alright, sounds good… wait, whose paying for all this?
Brandi gives him a dirty look.

EXT. MYERS' HOUSE
Dr. Hartley stands in front of the house, a look of concern spread across his face. A group of kids dressed in costumes can be seen behind him, on the other side of the street, going up to a house to get candy. A slight breeze causes the doctor's trench coat to billow.
He has just came out of the house. For some reason, he can't shake the feeling that Michael had been there, although there hadn't been any sign of him being there. The man knew he should go to the police of Haddonfield for their help, but he couldn't help but feel that last time Michael had escaped, the police had been rather…unhelpful in aiding Dr. Loomis.
Thinking of Dr. Loomis made him sad. He had worked with Dr. Loomis for a short time before he passed away. Dr. Hartley lets out a sigh, looking around the yard.

INT. EVANS' RESIDENCE- STAIRWAY
Casey comes down the stairs, her hair wet. She's wearing different clothing than what she had previously had on. A pair of jeans and a black Fairy Tail shirt. She looks out the living room driveway to see if Breanna and Logan have arrived yet, which they haven't. Casey sighs as she gets her textbooks together. If she has any time after the kids go to sleep, she plans to study. She goes into the kitchen, gasping.
INT. KITCHEN
The French doors stand wide open. Casey freezes for a moment, staring at the wide open doors before moving quickly to lock them. She looks around the room, wondering if someone is in the house. She decides to go get her phone, which is with her textbooks in the living room. She'll just call the police to be safe. As she steps out of the kitchen and into the living room, someone jumps out at her, causing her to scream and punch the attacker.
The attacker falls backwards, gasping in pain. It's just Logan.
LOGAN
Ow! God dammit, Casey, that hurt!
CASEY
You asshole! That's what you get for coming inside my house!
Logan glares at her, climbing to his feet, rubbing his cheek. He looks over to the couch, where Breanna sits.
LOGAN
I thought this was supposed to be funny, Bree.
Breanna giggles, lowering her phone.
BREANNA
It was funny. I got the whole thing on video.
LOGAN
WHAT!? Don't tell me this is going on Facebook…
CASEY
How did you guys get in here!?
BREANNA
Well, Casey, you left your doors unlocked, so we just came right in. We didn't think the doors would actually be open, but I guess you aren't scared of any thieves coming in.
CASEY
But, I just looked out to the driveway and no one was there… Were you guys the ones' who turned over the flower pot on the back porch?
LOGAN
We parked in the back driveway, Bree said we could scare you that way. And, no, we didn't knock over anything.
CASEY (sigh)
I guess it was the cat then. I can't believe you guys scared me like that….
BREANNA
Come on Casey, its Halloween. Everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Breanna gets off the couch, handing Casey her books. Casey makes sure to lock the French doors this time, and then the three of them go out the front door and around to the back driveway, where Logan's vehicle is parked. Casey climbs into the backseat while Logan and Breanna take the front seats.
[THROUGH SOMEONE ELSES'S POV]
Logan starts the car and backs it out of the driveway. As the vehicle slowly disappears from sight, the person gets into their own vehicle, parked a few houses down from Casey's, and follows behind the three friends…
