This horror movie script summary is: 1) Three girls are hanging out in a bedroom when one hears a strange noise and goes to investigate alone. 2) The other two girls notice she has been gone too long and go look for her, finding her frozen at the top of the stairs. 3) As they approach her slowly, the script ends on a cliffhanger with one girl reaching out to tap the missing girl on the shoulder just as it cuts to black.
