I did this a while back. It's only 7 pages long. Lemme know what ya think.
I don't have a name for it, suggestions?
EXT. STREET - DAY
We see a long street on a sunny morning. Houses on each side. Birds can be heard singing.
EXT. HOUSE GARDEN - DAY
A MAN and a WOMAN come out of one of the houses. They are both middle-aged. A young WOMAN follows them, but she stays at the door. Her name is KAREN. They both go to a car in the driveway. The woman stops at the car to wave back.
MOTHER
Goodbye sweetheart!
KAREN
Bye Mum, bye Dad!
DAD
Take care, Karen!
He opens the driver door and gets in.
KAREN
I will...
MUM
If you need anything
just...
KAREN
(interrupting)
...Give you a call.
Yes, I know.
She smiles and gets in the car. They drive off and Karen waves to them.
KAREN
*sigh*
Study time...
INT. BEDROOM - DAY
Karen is sitting on her bed surrounded by school books. She is looking through one. Her dog sits next to her. Then, her mobile phone rings. She answers it.
KAREN
Hello?
JACOB
(through phone)
Hey Karen. What ya doin'
today?
KAREN
Studying. Like you should
be.
JACOB
Nah. I'm a genius. No
need to study. You don't
need to either, come over
to mine.
KAREN
No way! I have waaaay
to much work to do.
JACOB
Karen... You have two
weeks to study. Take at
least one night off okay?
There is a short pause. Karen thinks about it.
KAREN
...Fine. Just one night!
JACOB
Great! Come over to mine,
we can watch a few movies,
drink some wine... maybe
do something else...
KAREN
I'll never be that drunk.
JACOB
Ouch! Hit me where it hurts
why don't you?
Karen laughs.
KAREN
I'll be over in an
hour.
EXT. STREET - DAY
Karen walks down a quiet street. It is still quite sunny. She comes up to a house and walks up the driveway to the front door.
EXT. FRONT DOOR - DAY
She knocks on the door, and it pushes open. She looks confused.
KAREN
...Jacob?
She peeks inside without going in.
KAREN
Jacob??
She hesitates to go in.
KAREN
...Damn it.
She slowly steps in. All the curtains have been closed. She closes the door behind her.
KAREN
This isn't funny Jacob!
INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
She looks into the living room, no one's there.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
She goes into the kitchen, also empty.
INT. WORKROOM - DAY
She heads up the stairs to a workroom. She opens the door and gasps. The room is filled with wooden dummies. She walks through the room and looks at them with surprise, and some shock. They don't look realistic at all, but they still scare her a little. She comes to one at studies it. It freaks her out the most. Suddenly, it lunges forward at her. She screams and stumbles back. Jacob comes out from behind it laughing, he made it jump forward.
JACOB
Too easy!
KAREN
Jacob, you dick!
She gets up quickly, very embarrassed.
KAREN
You scared the hell
outta me!
JACOB
As was my intention.
KAREN
...Where did these all come
from?
JACOB
I made them. It's kinda
my hobby.
KAREN
Freaky hobby...
JACOB
That's why I like it...
INT. BEDROOM - DAY
They walk into Jacob's bedroom. He still has the dummy. The curtains are open letting all the light in. Karen sits on his bed infront of a TV. He puts the dummy on the floor, nearly facing her. He turns on the TV with the remote and sits down next to Karen. She looks at a stack of DVD's next to the TV. They are all horror films.
KAREN
Do you have anything apart
from horror?
JACOB
What's wrong with horror?
KAREN
They're just an excuse to
kill a bunch of people in a
really gross way and for girls
to get naked.
JACOB
Uh huh. And your point is?
KAREN
*sigh*
Don't you have any comedies?
JACOB
(sarcastic)
Comedies? What is this word?
He laughs slightly.
JACOB
Hey, if you get scared watchin'
'em, just hold on to me...
KAREN
In your dreams buddy.
JACOB
In my dreams, you do more than
hold me...
Karen tries to look offended, but can't pull it off.
KAREN
Just put something on.
A FEW HOURS LATER
They both sit back in the bed watching one of the horror films. The curtains are closed. Karen is a little bit scared by the film, but she tries not to show it. Jacob can tell.
A SHORT TIME LATER
The film ends. Jacob gets up off the bed to go to the bedroom. Karen sits up and looks breifly at the dummy. It seems to look back at her.
KAREN
Holy *beep*
Jacob turns around quickly.
JACOB
What??!!
KAREN
That thing looked at me!
Jacob looks at the dummy. It is looking forward, not at Karen.
JACOB
...The film got to your
head. That's all.
KAREN
No, that thing really
looked at me!
He picks it up and twists it's head off. He shows the inside of the hollow head to her.
JACOB
Do you see any brains
in there?
She slowly starts to smile.
JACOB
There ya go.
He walks up to a stack of shelves next to his bed and places the dummy on the top shelf.
JACOB
Now I'm going to the toilet.
He points to the dummy.
JACOB
And you! Don't kill her.
KAREN
Jacob!
He laughs and walks out of the room. Karen looks at the dummy. It stares forward.
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Karen and Jacob sit on the floor drinking some wine. A horror film is on but they aren't paying any attention to it.
JACOB
What time do you need to
be back by?
KAREN
Excuse me! I'm a big girl,
I can stay out if I want.
JACOB
Parents away huh?
KAREN
Yeah.
JACOB
Mine are at my Gran's
for the weekend.
KAREN
How convenient.
She leans in to kiss him.
JACOB
...I thought you'd never
get that drunk.
KAREN
I'm not drunk.
They kiss, and they lay back onto the floor. We move up past them and see the dummy. We zoom in slowly, it appears to be looking at them.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Karen and Jacob lay asleep in the bed. The lights are off. Karen's eyes open. She stays still for a few moments. She turns around to look at the dummy. As she does, it seems like the dummy turns it's head away from her. She stays still, scared. She closes her eyes.
KAREN
It's just your imagination.
She turns back round and tries to go to sleep. After a few moments she opens her eyes again and turns to see the dummy. Again it seems to turn it's head away from her.
KAREN
...Holy *beep*
She stares it for a long moment. It stays completly still.
KAREN
It's just your imagination!
Jacob grunts slightly. Karen turns back round and tries to go to sleep again. As she does, we can see it's head turn to face her.
INT. BEDROOM - DAY
Karen and Jacob clean up the mess in the room.
KAREN
Right, I really have to
get back to studying now.
JACOB
Can't you stay for a little
while longer?
KAREN
No.
She kisses him on the cheek and starts to walk out the room.
KAREN
I'll see you soon.
JACOB
...Bye.
As she leaves, she catches a glimpse of the dummy. It's looking at her, and it winks.
KAREN
(whispers)
Imagination...
EXT. HOUSE FONT DOOR - DAY
Karen gets back to her house and goes in.
INT. HALLWAY - DAY
KAREN
Study time again.
INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
Karen is asleep on her bed, surrounded by school books. Her bedside lamp is on. Then, it switches off. She wakes up. Jacob's head lands next to her. She screams. Infront of her is the dummy, weilding a knife with dried blood on it. It laughs maniacly. The knife comes slashing down. Everything goes black, and we can hear the laughter echoing away.
THE END
I don't have a name for it, suggestions?
