Script – The UNKNOWN 
EXT. SHOT OF HOUSE - AFTERNOON 
The trailer shows a shot of a normal house, on a normal street. Shot 
of characters MICHAELA, JAMES, LIBBY and SOPHIE, 4 teenage friends 
walking towards the house as shown in the previous shot by from 
behind them. 
MICHAELA 
I’m telling you, my house is haunted! 
JAMES 
Yeah right 
SOPHIE 
Hahahaha Stop joking around, ghosts aren’t real 
The friends carry on walking down the street, nearly reaching 
Michaela’s front door. 
MICHAELA 
Right, well if you don’t believe me, why don’t you see for yourself! 
LIBBY 
What do you mean? 
MICHAELA 
All of you can stay round for the weekend andthen you’ll believe me, 
there is definitely somethingdifferent about my house. 
JAMES 
All right, why not. If it will prove to youthat your house ISN’T 
haunted then I’m up for it. 
INT. HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT 
James sitting in the corner of the room, shaking and crying. 
INT. HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – DAY 
The trailer then returns to the present, showing Sophie setting up 
the cameras in the living room of Michaela’s house. Sophie puts the 
camera on the stand and fixes it to it.
INT. HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – MORNING 
It is the next day, the friends gather around to watch the footage 
from the cameras. The footage shows that there isn’t a ghost, but 
there have been some suspicious movements. 
SOPHIE 
Well that was a waste of time then 
MICHAELA 
I promise if you stay for a bit longer, more things will happen 
LIBBY 
Fine. Why not, what’s the worst that can happen? 
INT. HOUSE – LIVING ROOM - MORNING 
The scene flashes forward again showing a door slamming. This 
creates a loud banging sound. This loud noise scares the characters. 
The next shot shows Libby, screaming and looking nervous after the 
previous events have been revealed. 
INT. LIVING ROOM – MORNING 
The scene shows all of the teenagers except James – out of the room 
at the time, have recorded the events of the night on. A shaky 
camera action shows a picture falling over and the floorboards are 
heard to be creaking when there is no one else around. 
From the camera footage, the teenagers see James standing over 
Michaela’s sleeping body in the night. 
Sophie 
Guys, I’m scared, I wanna leave now. 
James 
What happened? What did you see on the footage? 
The camera flashes forward with a montage of short/quick shots of 
unrelated scenes. Firstly the shot is of someone screaming. Next is 
the back of James, showing Libby dead on the floor. 
Next is Sophie crawling away, scared, looking up suggesting that the 
ghost is above them. Finally a door is shown to be locked, as the 
group of teenagers try to escape, forcefully and scared as the
tension builds. The final scene shows one of the teenagers close to 
death, as the shot fades to black.
