GREEN APPLE PRODUCTIONS PLAYGROUND PRODUCTIONS SLIDING DOG FILMS EXT: FOREST – NIGHT Young blonde girl in a short, figure-hugging dress runs frantically through a forest, occasionally looking behind her for an unseen pursuer. She trips and looks up to see a tall knife-wielding man wearing a hood, his face obscured. While she tries to back away he lunges with the knife. 2. INT. GIRL’S BEDROOM – EVENING Blonde busty teenage girl, heavily made-up and wearing a tight top and pyjama shorts, is watching the previous scene on television from her bed. The bedroom has pink walls, and clothes such as underwear lying on the floor. Her phone rings making her jump. A photo of her and her boyfriend is seen on her phone background. She answers. GIRL Hey Alex! Oh my god this movie is so scary! The lights and TV go off in the bedroom. The girl looks shocked. KILLER (ON PHONE) Do you like scary movies? The killer’s voice is distorted as in Scream. GIRL (laughs nervously) What? Stop messing around Alex, that’s not funny… TV turns back on to grainy B+W CCTV footage of Alex tied to a chair in garage. There is a table with a big kitchen knife. A tall person in all black clothes with their hood up and wearing a scary mask shows up on the CCTV footage. They are holding a phone. GIRL

I’ll call the police. KILLER I’ll ask one question and you must answer. If your answer is correct, he is free to go. If not, say bye-bye.’ GIRL Please, stop, Alex, or whoever this is, it’s sick, not funny! KILLER What is the name of the movie within the movie in the original Scream? GIRL Um, I know! Stab. KILLER Wrong. That was only in the second movie onwards. GIRL Wait, you tricked me! Killer visibly hangs up phone on CCTV footage. The girl is shouting and crying, getting distressed. GIRL No! Wait, please, no! It’s not what you think! I didn’t mean to… Please! No! See the CCTV footage and the killer picks up the kitchen knife, turns it a bit so it shimmers in the CCTV, then walks to Alex and slits his throat. Blood gushes out. GIRL (screaming) NO! Girl gets close to TV screen. Gasps, realises it’s in her garage. Gets up and runs out of room. Camera follows her through the dark house into the garage. Switches back to view of CCTV on the TV, see girl run into the garage and look around. She looks up at the CCTV as the killer walks up behind her slowly and grabs her.
