INT. CLASSROOM - LATER THAT DAY
Students file into the class, sit in their assigned seats.
KERI stands behind a desk at the head of the class.
THE BELL RINGS
KERI
Good morning, class. Mr. Elliot's
out sick this week...turns out it was
his appendix.
The students ad-lib "COOL," "ALRIGHT," "YEAH."
KERI (cont'd)
Your compassion is overwhelming. But
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that
he gave me the list of students who will
be giving their oral reports today.
The students groan.
KERI (cont'd)
I thought so. First up is Sarah Locke.
Sarah crosses to the podium at the head of the class,
stands behind it. She reads off a stack of index cards in
front of her...
SARAH
(rapidly)
"The Haddonfield Murders" by Pamela
Whittington. A totally gruesome
depiction of serial killer Michael
Meyers' path of destruction in a small
Illinois town.
Keri sits up in her chair, uneasy. Of all the books...
During the following, we INTERCUT between the described
flashbacks and Keri, as she struggles to maintain her
composure as the memories come flooding back --
SARAH (cont'd)
The riveting tale begins with young
Meyers repeatedly stabbing his older
sister to death on Halloween night in
1963.
BEGIN FLASHBACK.
During the previous dialogue we see the correlating scene from
"Halloween" where young Michael Meyers in clown attire murders
his sister.
SARAH (OS) (cont'd)
Years later Meyers escaped from Dr.
Loomis' care at Smith's Grove Institution
and returned home to Haddonfield.
During the previous dialogue we once again see the
correlating scene from "Halloween" where Michael escapes from
outside the gates of Smith's Grove in Dr. Loomis' station
wagon.
SARAH (OS) (cont'd)
It was there that he stalked Laurie
Strode...Meyers' younger sister...
We see the correlating scene from "Halloween" where the
Shape watches Laurie Strode through the screen door as she
approaches the old Meyers' house.
SARAH (OS) (cont'd)
What followed was a night of terror
as Michael Meyers slaughtered one
innocent victim after another.
Strangled some... stabbed others...
in the end it was a Halloween of
unprecedented carnage.
We see a MONTAGE of murders from "Halloween" and
"Halloween II."
END OF FLASHBACK.
ON Keri, eyes swelling, struggling to keep the lid on her
emotions...
SARAH (cont'd)
Ironically, Laurie survived that night,
but was said to have died in a car
accident years later... leaving behind
her only daughter, Jamie.
BEGIN FLASHBACK.
During the previous dialogue, we see footage of young Jamie
from "Halloween IV."
SARAH (cont'd)
The book maintains there is truth to
the rumor that Laurie Strode is actually
alive and well and living under a new
identity. Claiming that she gave up
her daughter for adoption to protect the
eight-year- old from her psychotic Uncle.
Bad idea. Last Halloween, Jamie's
mutilated body was found in a barn just
outside of Haddonfield.
We see Jamie's demise as depicted in "Halloween VI."
END FLASHBACK.
ON Keri, unable to stand it any longer. She grabs her bag,
heads for the door.
KERI
Excuse me...
Keri darts out of the classroom.
The students sit in stunned silence, baffled. Sarah collects
her cards and heads back to her seat...
SARAH (cont'd)
That was like so rude.
INT. GIRLS' RESTROOM - MINUTES LATER
Keri bursts through the bathroom door...locks herself inside
an empty stall...drops to her knees, barely making it over
the toilet before tossing up her breakfast.
