Script:-

FADE IN FROM BLACK:
A group of teenagers are talking and laughing amongst themselves whilst walking towards a tunnel at night.

JOHNNY
So, it’s been a pretty good night, guys.

SARITA & EMILY
[SIMULTANEOUSLY] I know, right.

WILL
That’s if you call being threatened by the police a good night.

SARITA
Oh, forget it, seriously. Nothing was going to come of that. [BRANDISHING CAMCORDER] Come on, smile for the camera. It was a good night!

The teenagers take a ‘selfie’ together.

EMILY
Let’s have a look then.

Sarita brings the photo back up on the camcorder’s screen. They all look at the photo and notice someone standing in the background behind them in it.


SARITA
What…

EMILY
What is that?

The teenagers turn around to find a girl in a white dress standing before them. She is facing down and there is blood on her dress.

JOHNNY
Wow [MUTTERED]. Have you been here the whole time?

The girl remains silent, facing down.

SARITA
[NOTICES BLOOD] Look at her dress…

WILL
Crap, are you okay?

JOHNNY
Are you lost? Are your parents nearby?

The girl finally looks up. Her eye sockets are darkened.

GIRL
Follow me.

EMILY
We need to go find those police from earlier. She must be lost.

SARITA
Yeah, we have to take her to them.

JOHNNY
Hear that? We’re going to take you to some people who can help you.

GIRL
No. Follow me.

WILL
Look, we’re –

The girl runs past them, disappearing into the tunnel. The teenagers stand there for a moment, watching her run into the tunnel.

SARITA
We can’t just let her go! We need to go after her.

EMILY
No, we need to call the police. What if we get lost?

SARITA
What if she gets lost?

JOHNNY
Come on, let’s just go find her and bring her to the police. Then we can head home.

WILL
It’s too dark. Can we use the light on the camera?

SARITA
Good idea. [TURNS LIGHT ON]

The teenagers begin their journey down the tunnel. The light illuminates the girl standing near the other end.

JOHNNY
Stay there!

The teenagers pick up the pace, but as they do so, the girl does too, running to the other end of the tunnel. A man in a gas mask blocks her escape from the other side and breaks her neck.

WILL
Crap…

EMILY
We need to go. Now.

SARITA
But – the girl –

The masked man steps over the girl’s body and begins to walk slowly towards the teenagers, breath sounding menacingly with each step. The teenagers don’t move for a moment, unable to absorb the information.

EMILY
Oh God...

JOHNNY
Come on, come on!

Johnny begins running, and the others finally follow suit, all the while with the masked man in pursuit.
