The group of eight enter an old, dilapidated mansion at the
edge of town. Thunder rumbles, rain patters against the
windows, and a chill fills the air.
SAM
(eyeing the house warily)
I can’t believe we are doing this. This place is a death
trap.
JACK
(chuckling) come on, its just an old house. Maybe there’s
some ghosts hiding in the attic, ready to give us a tour.
VICKY
(quietly) there’s something wrong with this place. I can feel
it.
TESSA
(exited) guys, this house is legendary! It was built in the
1800s, abandoned after the deaths of the family. Some say its
cursed.
DAVID
Yeah, and some say its full of rats. Let’s get the lights on
and figure out why we’re here before the storm knocks out the
power.

(grimacing) do you really think we should be here? what if
the stories are true?
JACK
(laughing) they can’t be true, that’s why they are just
stories.
E.HARR
(quietly, almost to himself) stories like that always have a
grain of truth.

They move deeper into the house, their footsteps echoing on
the creaky floorboards. The air grows colder, and the group
starts to feel uneasy.
JACK
(faking bravado) Alright, alright. Who’s going first? we all
got flashlights right? I’m not going first, but I’ll happily
go second.

Let’s stick together just in case.

RACHEL
(squinting) I didn’t hear anything …. Let’s check it out.
SCENE3:
NIGHT;
INT OF ANOTHER ROOM.
They approach the door, which opens slightly by itself as if
inviting them in. it’s a small, dusty bedroom. As they enter,
the room feels colder, almost as if the temperature dropped
ten degrees.
VICKY
(breathing shakily) I don’t like this. I can hear whispers,
like someone’s talking to us or about us.

JACK
(grinning nervously) sure, I think it's probably just the
wind.
Suddenly, through the house.
A LOUD BANG ECHOES EVERYONE
and the behind them.
JUMPS, DOOR SLAMS SHUT
SAM
(voice rising) okay, I’m done. Let’s go!
DAVID
(tight-lipped, protective)
No one's going anywhere until we figure out what the hell it
was.
They try to open the door, but it wont budge. The house feels
alive now-like it’s watching them.
RACHEL
(urgently) this isn’t funny anymore. Some thing is wrong.
MARK
guys, I think we need to leave. Something is happening here,
and we are not equipped to deal with it.

VICKY
it’s… it’s trying to keep us here. Something

wants us trapped.
E. HARRY
it’s not just the house. It’s the
(staring at the mirror)
death. It’s been waiting for us.
JACK
well, that’s reassuring.

We need to find another way out as soon as possible because
we will end up being trapped for good if we keep on
panicking.
SCENE5:
NIGHT

A COLD ROOM COVERED UP WITH MOLD
Suddenly, the lights blinks. The floorboards creak louder. A
shadow moves at the edge of their vision. In the far corner,
a dark figure steps forward-its face hidden by the hood, its
eyes glowing faintly.
RACHEL
who is there?
(Squinting)
The figure tilts its head, then vanish into thin air.
MARK
No, no, no... this is bad. This is really bad.

TESSA
I told you… I told you this house was cursed!

Look, we are not losing are minds. There's something here-
something alive.
JACK
well, whatever it is, its probably not friendly but I could
just walk up to it and make it my new friend if I had the
chance to.
They hear footsteps behind them and when they turn, there was
nobody there.
E. HARRY
It’s coming. Death… it follows people like us.

SCENE CONTINUES IN THE SAME ROOM.

RACHEL
That’s enough. Whatever this is, we can’t keep running from

I cab sense it. The spirit is not alone. There is something
worse… something darker.
SAM
we need to find an exit. Now.
Suddenly the temperature plummets, and their breath become
visible in the air. Shadows stretch across the room as a
figure reappears. Its eyes now fully glowing.
RACHEL
what’s that thing?
(fearfully)
DAVID
whatever it’s, it snot getting us
(squaring his shoulders)
without a fight.
JACK
that’s the coolest thing I have experienced in a

The dark figure steps forward, and the room grows colder. A
ghostly voice echoes through the room, barely audible.
GHOSTLY VOICE
you should never have come. This is where you die.
TESSA
get away from us! We didn’t mean any harm!
(terrified)
VICKY
I---I know what it wants. It feeds on fear... and it gets
stronger when we are afraid.
JACK
great. Now we’re all dead and trapped. Good job,
(sarcastic)
everyone.
DAVID
( ) we need to stay calm. If we panic, it wins.
STEEPING FOWARD
Suddenly the figure lunges at them with inhuman speed. The
group scatters, running in different directions.

we’re all running scared.
RACHEL
I agree, but it’s only getting stronger.
E.HARRY
Not stronger. More desperate. It’s feeding off our fear---our
fear of death.

VICKY
