Killer in the woods script

int.bedroom - day

Clothes are scattered on the floor, shoes swayed around the room...

Shot of the floor, revealing the owner of the room, Joe an avid camper by choice, energetic, clever and somewhat funny.

His left hand shaking uncontrollably as he packs his bag, some sort of compulsion or something else..

He looks around his room, he focuses on a framed photograph, of himself and a girl...the 2 looks happy on the photograph. - Slow zoom on the photograph,

accompanied by flashback-esque inaudible dialogue,almost ghostly, - "You never took care of me!" "it's always about you isn't it?"

with a deep low dark music..and low wind ambiance..

he picks up the framed photograph

suddenly, a woman, comes walks into the room,his mother.

Mum

Joe, this place is a dump...

(she notices that joe's looking at the photo)

*sighs* You gotta let it go sometime..it's not worth it.

Joe puts the frame on his bed, and turns around, the sad expression on his face still seen, through the happier face that he's trying to mask himself.

joe

(Trying to smile)

It's hard to let go sometimes...

Mum walks to joe and hugs him.

mum

I know baby..

mum gives him a little kiss on the head.

Joe

Well, I better continue packing.

mum

(standing up)

Ok..clear up before you go.

joe

Ok.

Mum leaves the room,leaving joe alone as he packs his bags.

He picks up the frame with his right hand..and takes another look at the photo, his left hand starts going on spasm. A clear link between what's in the photo and his hand.

BRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG BBBBBBBBBRRRRRIIIIIIIINGGGGGG.

CLANG CLASH..Sounds like the phone was dropped.

Mum

(from downstairs)

Joe it's for you!

Joe

I'll take it up here mum, thanks

Joe walks out of the room,

int.corridor,next bedroom - day = Continuous

Unlike the bedroom before, Joe walks into a cleaner, civilized looking bedroom.

He picks up the phone.

joe

Hello?

Danny

(trying to imitate ghost face)

What's your favorite scary movie?

Joe

What the hell? who is this?

Danny

How do you wanna die, Joe?

Joe

Danny? Danny? is that you? you homo?

Danny

(Breaking his voice from laughter)

danny

joe

DANNY

Joe takes the photograph out of the frame and puts it in his bag. followed by a knife.


ext.park - dusk

The sun clears low, clouds starts to pile, seems like the sky's about to cry..

Jon and Danny walks side by side on the pavement, bags on their back and camping equipment.

Joe walks by himself, on the other side of the pavement.

the 2 parties, meet at the entrance of the park, and exchange pleasantries.

ext.park, campsite - dark

Sounds from the burning fire are heard, heaps of leaves from the distance starts to swirl and crackle as Joe, Jon and Danny sits around the Campfire exchanging stories

Danny

(Continuing a story)

Yeah, I remember that one.

Jon

Right? *laughs* that was like a year ago, right?

Danny

Yeah..

Danny glares at Joe, Joe looks out of place, not at the moment, he seems preoccupied.

Danny

Joe, you ok?

Joe, just stares blankly at the campfire

jon

Joe tilts his head sideways,

joe

Yeah, I'm fine.

He stands up.

Joe

danny

Joe

Nah, nag I got it.

Joe walks off

Jon

Danny

jon

But he invited her, he's trying to-

danny

Jon chuckles

ext.deep in the woods - night

Joe, still a bit preoccupied, not knowingly he walks deep in the woods.

He sees a piece of wood on the ground, he kneels to pick it up,

joe

(sinister)

That's a good size

He scans it thoroughly.

EXT.PARK, CAMPSITE - DARK

Jon and Danny's getting anxious because Joe still hasn't returned.

Jon

danny

jon

Jon stands up, putting his backpack on.

danny

Jon takes his phone out,

jon

Jon walks on.

Leaving Danny all alone.

Danny takes his phone out, he calls emma

danny

Hello?

emma

Alright Dan, where are you guys?

Danny

Why where are you?

Reveal emma, carrying a folded tent

Emma

I'm by the woods,

Scratchings are heard by the campsite,

Medium close-up on a piece of wood being held by an unknown person, the person wears a black robe, like the one that Ghostface wears in the Screams.

Danny

Well wait there, I'm gonna come get ya.

Danny goes in the tent.

Out of the blue, The person goes inside the tent, and through the shadow from the tent, Danny's Fate is revealed.

Danny is hit repeatedly by a wooden branch, blood splatters on the tent, by and on the fire.

EXT.DEEP IN THE WOODS - NIGHT

Jon walks through the woods, dodging obstacles that comes his way, he uses a flashlight to see clearly, but all of a suddenly it starts turning off, running out of battery.

Jon

Oh fuck.

Jon keeps on walking, he bumps onto a person, the "unknown" person,

jon

What the fu-

Jon gets stabbed on the forehead.

He slowly falls to the ground.

EXT.by the woods - night

Emma walks slowly around the trees waiting for Danny to pick her up, The winds starts picking up, she's starts getting scared, some scratchings and ruffles are heard, then:

Joe comes out of nowhere, carrying a wholesome of logs.

Emma

(Awkward)

joe

No, not that, what are you doing HERE.

emma

Oh, Danny called about 10-15 minutes ago said he was gonna come get me.

Joe

Emma gives off a tiny chuckle.

Joe

Well we better look for camp.

Emma

Ok

EXT.PARK, CAMPSITE - DARK

The fire rattles on profusely as blood flows through and around the fire.

Emma and Joe walks up to the camp, not paying attention to the fire.

Emma walks straight to Danny's Tent.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A Shriek filled with terror and mortify, coming out of Emma's mouth.

Joe drops the logs and goes to Emma's Aid.

Emma pushes back slowly, trying not to raise suspicion.

she looks at Joe with great terror.

joe

Joe looks at his shirt

Emma starts walking back

Joe

What the fuck, where-

Joe looks at the logs and sees that on of the logs was stained with blood.

joe

(confused)

Joe falls on his knees crying,

joe

(tears in his eyes)

I didn't do it.

Emma keeps creeping backwards away from Joe.

Joe reaches his arms forward, trying to get her to believe him.

Out of nowhere the "unknown" person hugs Emma and shoves her to the ground.

Joe

The unknown person presses a knife on the back of her neck.

Joe

Mum slits Emma's through, blood drips out of her neck, still holding emma's hair

Joe Falls to his knees...shocked..stricken...mortified.

He stands right back up, walking up to mum.
