Ext – Wallace House – Night
We stare at the lonely, dark Wallace house from the other side of an abandoned, tree-lined street. All the trick-or-treaters are tucked away in bed. There is an ominous silence filling us with anxiousness that makes you hold your breath until a shattering scream pierces through the utter quiet like a bullet through paper.
We abruptly zoom into a second story window of the house and see Laurie Strode, your typical, kind 17 year old baby-sitter, screaming bloody murder as she bangs on the window. With each pound a splatter of blood paints the glass.
Through the window, we can faintly see a dark shape moving slowly toward Laurie. The shape stops moving and then as Laurie turns around to face the shape, it charges toward her, pushing her through the glass window. The glass shatters in every direction as Laurie plummets down through the air, screaming like a baby, until she hits the hard ground below.
Laurie slowly opens her eyes and looks around. Hazy at first, she begins to realize that the shape in the window has vanished. She gulps down and looks right an left, down each empty street and driveway. No one, absolutely no one, is in sight. She turns her head back to the house and begins to faintly see a shadow approaching out from the backyard. Laurie whimpers and limps to her feet. She looks back. The shape is rounding the corner of the house, making its way slowly toward the panicked innocent.
Laurie lets out a shriek and limps into the black street, twisting and turning around, searching every which way for any source of help.
The shape crosses the front yard and whips out a bloody butcher knife from its side belt pocket.
Laurie
Help me! Please!
Laurie whines as she tries desperately to get away from the maniacal force following directly behind her.
Laurie stumbles over her own footsteps and topples to the ground, allowing the shape to gain even more on her. It now trails about 15 feet behind her.
Laurie
Leave me alone!
The shape ignores Laurie’s brittle comment. It walks out of the shadow’s revealing its full form. It is a towering man dressed in a dark blue jumpsuit and wearing an emotionless, white latex mask with a layer of demented brown hair garmenting the top. The image alone is enough to drive anyone insane with fear.
Laurie leaps to her feet and runs headlong for the Doyle house in the distance. The shape comes closer and closer, until it seems to be running toward Laurie.
The frightened girl takes another look back and as she does wishes she hadn’t, for the shape is about 7 feet away from her.
Laurie lets out a shrill, blood curdling scream for help but she can only hear the rumbling dread and suspense racing through her mind.
Laurie closes in on the front door to the Wallace’s home. She reaches the door and tries to get it open expect it will not budge.
Laurie
Shit!
She looks back. The shape crosses the front yard, brandishing its devilish knife.
Laurie bangs on the door, calling out for Tommy, the little boy she babysits, to open it.
Laurie
Tommy! Open the door! Please Tommy!
Step by step, the shape draws nearer, raising the suspense level to the extreme.
Poor Laurie continues pounding on the door helplessly, with no response. She decides it is too close of a call so she runs off the stoop and around the house, into the backyard, still screaming for help. She looks up at the windows. All the lights are turned off.
Laurie
TOMMY!!!
Suddenly, a light flips on in the upstairs window.
Laurie
Tommy hurry up! Please!
Laurie runs to the backdoor. Not surprisingly, it is locked as well. Laurie backs up, trying to get another glimpse of the window. The light is still turned on. Laurie looks to the side and spots the shape continuing its rampage toward her.
Laurie
Shit!
While crashing through a few obstacles, Laurie makes her way to a work ladder leading up to an open window. Laurie climbs it as Michael comes closer to ladder. He reaches for her feet but she gets away just in time. Laurie scurries a few steps up the ladder and stops. She cautiously looks back to the ground. The shape has vanished. She looks high and low but of course, he is nowhere to be found. Laurie takes a few deep breaths and slowly climbs up the rest of the ladder. She accidentally bumps into a paint can, knocking it to the ground and splattering it all over the grass. Laurie continues determinedly until she reaches the very top. She peeps her head through the window. To her utter shock, the shape is standing in the room, peering over Tommy and his friend Lindsey as they sleep in a comfortable bed, unaware that complete evil is lurking just beside them. Laurie yelps and ducks back down. A tear trickles down her eye as she hesitates what to do. She gathers her mental strength to look back up through the window. But just as she does, the shape whips through the window, slicing the knife just barely across Laurie’s face. The latter falls and a screaming Laurie begins to fall…
