The List
written by
Loren Coad.




1.             EXT.OUTSIDE VICTIMS HOUSE - NIGHT.
               A dark street is lit dimly by street lamps.
               JACOB BOWLER (age 17) is tall, skinny and disturbed. Standing outside
               his ex-girlfriends house, he holds a strange list with a number of
               crossed out names, all but one at the bottom - which is obscured.
               


2.             INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA LAWRENCE (age 17) is in her living room watching a scary
               film. Alone in the house, she's covered in a duvet holding a pillow.
               As the music becomes more tense, the screams fill the room
               accompanied by the eerie music, she lifts the pillow to cover her
               face as the light from the TV illuminates her...

3.             EXT. OUTSIDE VICTIMS HOUSE - NIGHT.
               JACOB continues to look at the house, almost hidden by a car. He
               slowly reaches for his pocket and pulls out a photo,then reaching
               into his other pocket his pulls out a lighter and holds it up...

4.             INT. JACOBS ROOM - NIGHT. Flashback.
               Faced looking towards the wall, JACOB stares intently towards the 
               wall where a collection of photos are held. The photos all include
               one girl, and slowly he focuses on one photo where she holds
               roses.

5.             EXT. OUTSIDE VICTIMS HOUSE - NIGHT.
               Back to the flame, JACOB lifts the photo up and holds it gently
               till it catches fire. He lets it go and watches it fall to the
               floor, where it starts to crumple as it burns.JACOB breathes 
               heavily as he steps passed it towards the house.

6.             INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA has now turned the scary film off, and is watching a soap.
               All of a sudden her phone rings. 'UNKNOWN NUMBER' flashes up on 
               the screen, reluctantly she picks it up and answers..

            SOPHIA.
            Hello?

           *heavy breathing*

           SOPHIA.
          Hi?

               Getting no reply, she hangs up the phone and gets up to look out
               the window. Seeing no one there, she sits back down on her sofa.

7.             EXT. OUTSIDE VICTIMS HOUSE - NIGHT.
               JACOB slowly hangs up the phone and pockets it. He reaches forward
               to the door of SOPHIA'S house and feels a surge of relief as he
               realises the stupid girl hasn't locked it.

8.             INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA is back on the sofa, feeling dread after the weird
               anonymous phone call. 

9.             INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT.
               JACOB slowly accends up his ex-girlfriends stairs after quietly
               letting himself in to her house, leaving a trail of rose petals
               behind him.

10.            INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA looks around towards the door quickly. Thinking she heard
               a creak in her stairs, she gets up and walks towards the door. After finding the line of rose petals, she
               slowly walks up the stairs, into the bathroom
               where they lead.


11.            INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA pushes the door open carefully, and finds
               her bath full of water and petals, with lit
               candles around the room. She slowly walks in
               confused, when suddenly the door slams shut and
               in the corner stands her estranged ex, holding a
               mask in his hand.He slowly walks towards her and
               grabs her around the throat, they struggle as she
               falls to the floor.


12.            INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT.
               SOPHIA wakes suddenly from her nightmare, breathing
               quickly she assures herself it wasn't real, looks
               around her room then lays back down. In the corner
               a dark shadow moves towards her..
