OTIS' P.O.V.
Red fog surrounds us as we stand tall over the decimated
corpse of Sara.
A bloody mess of mutilated flesh.
One of our blood spattered hands reaches into view.
We slide a claw into Sara's gaping mouth, push it awkwardly
down her throat. Her dead eyes stare back at us.
KURT (O.S.)
(barely audible)
Amy!?
Our view snaps towards Kurt's voice. Without hesitation, we
rush off in that direction.
END P.O.V.
Amy stands just outside the tent, flashlight clutched tight
in her shaky hands.
She keeps watch on the dark woods before her.
Kurt pops his head out of the tent, frustrated.
KURT
I know you hear me, dammit! Which
bag are the keys in!?
AMY
No clue.
Kurt groans as he disappears back into the tent.
Far off behind her, just barely visible deep in the dark
woods, red fog rolls through the trees and brush like a
bloody tidal wave.
17.17.
Amy is oblivious to the rapidly approaching fog.
While keeping watch on the woods, she calls to Kurt inside
the tent.
AMY
Kurt!? You find them yet?
KURT (O.S.)
Fuck no! Why do we need so many
bags for a weekend camping trip!?
It’s fuckin’ retarded!
AMY
Focus!
Kurt digs through an open backpack, frantically searches for
the keys. He grows frustrated.
The light from the campfire outside casts Amy's silhouette
across the tent wall behind Kurt.
KURT
Fuck. Where are they!?
AMY (O.S.)
Just hurry up, Kurt!
OTIS' P.O.V.
Surrounded by red fog, we run through the thick brush at an
incredible speed, HEAVY FOOTSTEPS below us every step of the
way. We burst out of the still expanding fog.
Twisted branches blur by us as we rush out of the brush and
into the --
Up ahead, Amy stands beside the large tent, her back to us.
We rapidly pick up speed, charge towards Amy. Just as we’re
on her, she turns to us. Her eyes go wide with terror.
END P.O.V.
18.18.
In the blink of an eye, Amy's silhouette is TORN out of view!
Blood spatters across the outside of the tent.
Kurt whips his head around, stares in horror as fresh blood
drips down the outside of the tent wall.
A long beat. Silence.
KURT
A-Amy? You seriously better not be
fucking with me right now! Amy!?
Hesitantly, he moves for the unzipped tent door as red fog
wafts in through the open door flap.
Very slowly and very carefully, Kurt peeks his head out.
KURT (O.S.)
Amy?
Suddenly, Kurt's body awkwardly JERKS AND TWISTS around
before being violently RIPPED out of the tent.
WET SLASHING and CHOKED SCREAMS from just outside the tent
fills the space as we HOLD ON the blood-drenched tent door.
FADE TO:
The old dirt road cuts through a vast, grassy field. Beyond
the field, thick fog blankets heavily wooded hills.
A beat up old sedan rounds a bend, speeds down the road.
RADIO DJ (V.O.)
(overlap)
If you folks haven’t had a chance
to see the blood moon, get outside
and treat yourselves! It’s
absolutely wicked. Never seen one
quite like it. It’s seriously
killer looking!
Rick drives. He uses the rearview mirror to see as he cleans
his face with a napkin.
19.19.
Travis sits in the passenger seat. Focused and determined, he
scans the area outside as they pass.
Angry PUNK ROCK MUSIC blasts through the speakers. The Radio
DJ continues over the intro of the song.
RADIO DJ (V.O.) (CONT’D)
(through stereo)
And don’t worry! We’ve got some
good tunes to listen to while we
soak in all this crimson moonlight.
Remember, it’s an indie punk rock
weekend here on WBNE eighty-eight
FM. Vernon Grove, Rock.
Rick reaches in the glove box, pulls out a silver flask and
takes a quick swig. With a wince, he twists the cap back on.
TRAVIS
Maybe not the best time to be
having a drink, know what I mean?
Rick lets loose a wet burp.
RICK
You can be a real buzz kill
sometimes, you know that?
Travis gives Rick the side eye.
TRAVIS
You’d better hope Lon Whitmore is
as incompetent as you claim he is.
This goes tits up, Ada’s gonna
blame you.
Rick smirks.
RICK
Lon is a total dumb shit. Whatever
he’s got planned, he’s gonna fuck
it up. And he’ll probably shit his
pants in the process.
Travis doesn’t seem so convinced. Then, his eyes light up. He
points at something up ahead.
TRAVIS
There! That’s theirs, right?
A shit eating grin spreads across Rick’s face.
20.20.
RICK
Yep! Sure is! Dumbass couldn’t even
hide his camper well. Told you that
he’d fuck up!
Travis rolls his eyes.
The sedan slows, pulls off onto the grassy field beside the
dirt road. It stops behind a parked old camper van.
The engine shuts off, then Rick and Travis step out.
Without closing his door, Rick walks from his sedan, around
to the side of the camper van.
Travis waits by the sedan.
Rick peers in through the camper van’s windows.
Nothing of any interest.
RICK
(under his breath)
Yep, this is definitely Lon’s. What
a fuckin’ loser.
(to Travis)
They’re not here.
TRAVIS
Figured that much.
Travis steps away from the sedan, moves farther into the
field. He glares out at the fog covered hills beyond.
CLOSE ON his intense eyes.
TRAVIS
(under his breath)
They’re really gonna do it. Those
crazy bastards.
RICK (O.S.)
So, we’re just gonna kill them all?
Travis looks back to Rick, who moves back to his sedan and
reaches inside the open driver’s door.
RICK
Lon and whoever’s helping him. They
have to die. Right?
21.21.
Rick grabs a pistol and a flashlight out of the sedan. He
holsters his pistol, closes the car door.
Travis nods as he unclips a flashlight from his belt.
TRAVIS
What they are trying to do here is
unforgivable. Evil.
(beat)
Yes. They have to die.
RICK
You know, Travis, you don’t have to
do this. You’ve done more than
enough. This is my mess. I can
clean this up myself.
TRAVIS
We’ll clean this up together.
Then... You’re gonna owe me.
RICK
(smirks)
Fair enough. Alright. Let’s boogie
then. Clock’s tickin’!
TRAVIS
(under his breath)
Assuming we’re not already too
late...
Rick steps away from his sedan, leads Travis through the
grassy field, towards the foggy woods beyond.
Two men on a mission.
