CAMREA FADE IN
SCENE 1: ROAD ON PATH – DUSK
We see a group of uni students walking into a road that has
a sign that says road restricted privet propriety.
JACK/ MONOLOGUE (VOICE OVER)
I never really had friends at school but
that all changed when I went to university
because I met the best group of mates I
have ever had. You had James my flat mate,
ben and Jacob who I met in my media
course, will who was mates with James
WILL
Um ben it says it restricted we can’t walk
down here
BEN
Its fine I saw this place on the internet
is says that no one live anywhere near
here
WILL
Oh ok then
The group continues down the private road
JACK/ MONOLOGUE VOICE OVER
We all liked finding abandon places and
cool spots to drink at and ben said that
he found this one on a website that we
constantly used to find spots
JAMES
So what is this spot supposed to be like
then?
3
BEN
Well is says that it’s a haunted woods
filled with spirts and huge wooden animals
JAMES
That sounds sick
JACOB
How long is it going to take to get there?
BEN
Don’t know but it won’t be longer than an
hour or so
JACOB
This spot better be great then because it
a long walk mate
BEN
Well I don’t know if it will be sick or
not but it just when up on the website so
only two people have been and it said that
is was spooky and shit
JACOB
That sound pretty cool I guess
The group enter into a thick pine forest and James pulls a
pouch of tobacco and begins to roll a cigarette
JACK
James could I pinch a rollie
JAMES
Yh but keep it hush because the others
will want one and I only got a bit of
baccie left
4
JACK
Alright lets run on ahead and we can roll
there
JAMES
Wait pretend you walked off a bit and you
found me all hurt as well
JACK

James and jack run on ahead leaving ben Jacob will alone
shouting after them
BEN

JAMES
For a piss
SCENE 2: IN THE WOODS – NIGHT TIME
Jack and James stop behind a tree and start to roll a
rollie
JACK
How big do you think these wooden animals
will be then?
James lights his cigarette
JAMES
I don’t know but I acutely need a piss now
hers the lighter mate
James gives jack the lighter and walks off of to go or a
wee
SCENE 3 GETTING PICKED THE WOODS NIGHT
Jack lights his rollie and starts to watch James`s
cigarette light get smaller and smaller until it is gone
5
jack then see a bright light jack then walks slowly closer
to it
JACK
Is that you James?
The light fades as a small wooden tepee comes into view
jack goes over to it and see A wooden necklace with a wierd
wooden pendent around it. He picks it up and suddenly its
day time and he is surrounded by loads of people. A woman
walks over and touches jack shoulder and smiles into the
camera, then she takes her hand off jacks shoulder.
Suddenly its day time, the wooden tepee is gone and jack is
left standing there on his own till he is scared by James
touching his shoulder
JAMES
Why did you walk off?
Jack jumps and is scared by James
JACK

JAMES

sit and drink
BEN
Yh alright its not far anyway let’s go
The other start to walk off as James is handing out the
filters papers and tobacco out jack stares at the tree and
7
catches up to the others. We then see the group sitting
down and drinking and jack is just staring at the speaker
and taking small sips of his beer. It then flashes to a the
image of the woman getting closer, then back to jack then
back to the woman, then back to jack, until the woman
touches him. It then cuts to jack getting woken up by his
alarm and James shouting
SCENE 4 THE UNI HOUSE MORNING
JAMES
Oi mate I made you a sandwich if you want
it
JACK

JAMES

JACK

JACK

James grabs bag and walks out the door
JAMES
Yh whatever you say mate
8
James closes the door
JACK
(Muttering) prick
Jack then looks out the window and sees the woman from the
forest standing there staring at him. He walks over to the
window and she starts to walk off. He then runs to the door
to catch her but when he opens the door she is not there.
Jack then slowly walked back in puzzled as to where she
could have gone, he then goes upstairs and gets dressed and
goes to the store.
SCENE 5 THE STORE MORNING
At the store he gets some cold and flu and some honey and
lemon. He is about to check out but the same woman from the
forest stops him.
WOMAN FROM WOODS
Have you got a cold dear?
JACK
Yeah why
WOMAN FROM WOODS
Well you see I am a doctor and I know for
a fact that none of that stuff will work
with what you have
JACK
Ok
WOMAN FROM WOODS
You should use some garlic mixed with some
this
She pulls out a bag with some pink powder in it
And put it in a small glass with vinegar
that will sort you out in no time
The woman touches jack shoulder and jack gets a flash back
to when he was in the forest jack jumps back
9
JACK
Get away from me and don’t go near my
house
Jack quickly buys his cold and flu and honey and lemon and
leaves the store the camera shows the woman’s face turn
from smile to a serous face
SCENE 6 JACKS BED ROOM NIGHT
Jack gets home and makes himself honey and lemon and goes
up to his bed. He lays down on his bed and starts to get
flash backs to that night when he is suddenly awoken by the
woman by his bed side with James standing behind her
JAMES
Jack mate you awake you ok
JACK
What is she doing in my room?
JAMES
She’s the doctor that I called, you were
coughing up a tone of blood smearing it on
the walls and shouting in some wierd
language
Jack looks over to she loads of blood on the floor and the
wall was the symbol that was on the necklace
JAMES
I called 999 and they said some was coming
round and she was here super quick
WOMAN FROM WOODS
I have seen this before lucky I know what
will help him
She pulls out the orange powder and starts making her
concoction jack tries to tell her to stop but he starts
10
coughing up blood the woman finishes the concoction and
shoves it down jack’s throat
Jack passes out and dreams he is going through the forest
and all he can see this the symbol everywhere, he then
falls over and he hears….
WOMAN FROM WOODS
The vessel is ready
We then see jack wake up in his bed, sit up
straight, and look straight look forward
WOMAN FROM WOODS
He is gone now so we just need one more
sacrifice to bind him to this new body
James looks over
JAMES
Wait what you mean by sacrifice
The woman pulls out a knife and lunges over and starts
repeatedly stabbing James as the camera pans out all we can
see is the shadow of the woman repeatedly stabbing James
and the shadow of the demon rising out of jack.
