INT. COSY LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
BLAIR WESTWOOD (18), the typical pretty, but vulnerable and innocent
teenager in love, prepares for a movie night in with her boyfriend
and begins to light candles with a lighter.
Putting the lighter into her pocket, BLAIR picks up her Iphone to
text her boyfriend saying: cant wait for you to come over, this is
going to be a perfect night xo
Replacing the Iphone in her hand with the TV remote from the coffee
table, BLAIR walks toward the TV and begins to flip through
channels.
SOUNDS OF STATIC FROM TV
MUSIC SUDDENLY BEGINS TO BUILD PACE AND VOLUME
Behind BLAIR through the glass door, stands a figure of a spooky and
intimidating young girl named ANNE (12), dressed in a long white
dress and long dark hair in front of her face.
MUSIC DECRESES PACE AND VOLUME
ANNE walks away to the right as BLAIR goes to turn and walks back
towards the sofa, (parallel to the TV and closest to the door, which
is lined up along the back of the room) to sit down.
BLAIR sits with the TV remote in her hand when suddenly she is
distracted by the sound of whispers
SOUNDS OF QUIET WHISPERS
BLAIR looks around the room. As
SOUNDS OF QUIET WHISPERS STOP
BLAIRS smile wipes away and she begins to look a little worried
now.
SOUNDS OF QUIET WHISPERS START AGAIN
Standing up, BLAIR stares directly toward the door.
SOUNDS OF QUIET WHISPERS STOP
MUSIC GRADUALLY INCREASES VOLUME
BLAIR stands up and walks slowly toward the door and opens it. She
looks intently to either side (first right, then stops at left) of
the corridor with a worried look on her face.
SOUNDS OF THE BASEMENT DOOR CREAKING OPEN
Slowly BLAIR walks out of the living room and takes 4 small steps
toward the left, toward the basement door.
INT. CORRIDOR - NIGHT
BLAIR stood directly in front of the open door and stared into the
darkness coming out of the open basement, hesitant to take another
step forward she stood in one place and reached for the light.
MUSIC INCRESES IN VOLUME AND PACE
INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT
As the light flickered on, BLAIR took 3 steps down the creaky
staircase.
SOUNDS OF HEAVY BREATHING
BLAIR slowly comes to realise that she isnt alone in the basement
as she sees a girl wearing a white dress and hair in front of her
face standing in front of her. The girl slowly looked up tilting her
hear to the right.
ALL SOUNDS AND MUSIC STOP DOOR SLAMS SHUT LOUDLY
