"Stalker"
by Tony Spataro
An accapela voice sings in the background in a Celtic/Norrun
style. From black, the opening credits fade in.
FADE IN:
1 OPENING CREDITS 1
Opening credits appear over black. The girl's soprano voice
continues to sing.
Thunder sounds when the title "STALKER" appears on screen. A
fool moon appears. Another voice sings harmony to the
accapela voice. The moon transitions into to a white
medieval mask.
2 INT - MAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 2
In one continuous shot, our view leaves the mask and moves
upwards. We push in across a bed with feet entering top frame
and exiting bottom. Tracking along the top to what seems to
be a mans body, we cross the legs, then pass his hands
holding a card. It`s an invitation of some sort, which says
"V.I.P." and has an image of medieval eye-mask printed on it.
It passes down frame while we move upwards and push into the
man's face at extreme close range, all in one continuous
shot.
3 INT - STALKER'S BASEMENT - DAY 3
Panning from the extreme close-up of the man's face to a
blurry background of a hundred books lying behind him, our
view slowly fades to a work bench in a basement. Gentle
suspenseful music under scores the scene. The panning
continues. An object enters frame. It is a photo enlarger.
Photography items are seen in the background. Tracking across
a group of photos scattered across the top of the work bench,
it's obvious they are different shots taken from different
times of a nice looking, innocent girl. There is fiddling
taking place off screen by some unknown person heard by the
sound of something being constructed. Crossing the 6th or so
image, a hand picks up the 7th. The camera pushes in for a
closer look and re-focuses on the image while the other hand
touches the image in a intimate fashion. We don't see who
holds the photo, only a behind the shoulders view of someone
with a hood on. Cutting to a panning close-up of the back
wall of the bench, where more photos are posted, the sound of
the person getting up from his chair is heard. Our view moves
along the photos. Only footsteps are heard. The sound of a
big basement door creeks open and the footsteps fade away
climbing up the stairs.
Pushing in to the back wall, our view pans across the last
photo to an extreme close up of the girl. Thumping footsteps
are heard above the basement. An outside door is faintly
heard opening. Panning over and above to a window sill, our
focus adjusts to the outside through a tiny window. Footsteps
are heard from the outside. Not knowing if it is the same
person from the basement, some man passes by, walking away
down the street. In any case, the girl is obviously in the
heart of some ambitious mystery-man, or in trouble by some
unknown stalker.
4 INT - HALLWAY- DAY 4
Inside a dark hallway, a light from a neighboring room shines
through to it. A girls voice talking on the phone is heard in
the background. The voice becomes louder.
5 INT - GIRL'S BEDROOM - DAY 5
Camila is in bed talking on the phone with her friend Rene.
CAMILA
yea.. and I was wearing this fantastic
dress, I borrowed from Susan.
RENE
Really?
CAMILA
You know? This red one.
6 EXT - PARK - DAY 6
Rene sits on a park bench with her mobile phone speaking with
Camila. Viewed from a distance between the trees.
RENE
So what did you do afterwards?
CAMILA
Ohh... I was at this great party.. you
should of been there.
RENE
That's great.
CAMILA
Absolutely fabulous!
RENE
My God!
CAMILA
I went crazy. (laughing)
RENE
YOU get to go to all the great parties..
Do you know another?
Camila hesitates her response.
RENE (cont'd)
Hey! What about that one coming up?
...you that underground one?
Camila answers abruptly, not wanting to mention the new
party.
CAMILA
..uhh yea,
RENE
..what's that like?
CAMILA
..uh, it's a real exotic party next
Saturday.
RENE
I WANNA GO!
(pause)
...can you get me to go?
CAMILA
(In an unconvincing tone)
I will try, I'll do by best of course.
RENE
I really wanna go to this one Camila!
CAMILA
I'll try to get you in.
RENE
Can you bring somebody?
Camila looks at the invitation, it's the same one as we saw
earlier in the man's hand.
CAMILA
Yea... Oh Shit!
RENE
..can you get me to go
CAMILA
(sadly)
Nooo... it's only.. only one can get in.
RENE
WHAT!!!!
CAMILA
(in a raised voice)
Only one can get in!
RENE
Damm!
CAMILA
Hey, I gotta go.
RENE
Okay okay.. bye...
A man watches from the side of the park through the trees.
Apparently ease-dropping, it appears to be the same man we
saw before lying on the bed and most likely the man we saw
walking past the basement window down the street.
7 INT - RENE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 7
A photo image of a good looking guy (a Leonardo Di Caprio
type) cuts into frame, bordered similarly to the photos from
the basement scene. Our view pulls back and reveals a very
nice and feminine looking bedroom. It is silent. The phone
abruptly rings. It rings again. Approaching footsteps are
heard. The sound of a door opens and some girl enters the
bedroom. Cutting to a low side shot of her at the door, we
see a cut off image of only the girls body. She crosses her
bedroom and walks over to the desk. We track her movements
and still don't see her face, caused by our angle placed low
at waist's view.
(music plays in the background
in a low sound quality just
like a radio)
Her answering machine answers in the background.
ANSWERING MACHINE
Hi, I'm not able to come to the phone
right now, but you know what to do.
(BEEP)
DEVIN
(leaving a message)
Hi Rene... Devin here. Long time no talk.
Rene leans over to turn down the radio. Her face is still not
shown. She grabs her brush and walks back over, crossing her
bedroom to the opposite direction, to her dresser.
DEVIN (cont'd)
Hey, I was just in the neighbor and I
thought of you. Thought I could catch
you.
Tracking to the dresser, our view, still at waist level
follows her but rises slightly and pushes in for a closer
look. Rene brushes her hair. Still no sign of her face.
DEVIN (cont'd)
Well anyways, things are going pretty
well for me, I just landed another part
in this movie coming up.
The reflected image on the mirror shows her frontal body, but
still, her head is cut off. Entering frame, by the continuous
push by the camera, the non reflected image shows the nice
shape of her body from a different perspective.
DEVIN (cont'd)
I think my recent pictures did the trick.
I sent you them as well...
Looking over her shoulder down onto the dresser, she picks up
Devin's picture and looks at it. It was lying there already.
Devin is still on the line.
DEVIN (cont'd)
...don't you agree? (pause)
Rene tosses the picture back down.
DEVIN (cont'd)
Hmm, it's funny... I keep missing you.
Well, come and see me sometime. I'm still
working at the same old Renaissance Shop.
Catch ya later.
Devin hangs up and radio static lingers for a second after
the call. He called from a cell phone.
ANSWERING MACHINE
BEEP....CLICK....SILENCE
Rene pulls off her shirt. She is now in her bra and jeans.
She grabs her lotion and walks back over to her desk. Still
at waist view, we follow her actions. She sets the lotion
down and continues to undress by taking off her pants. Now
she is left with only her bra and underwear. She picks up her
lotion and leans over to change the radio station.
(the voice section of the song
"Stalker" plays, it's a deep
creepy voice)
She grabs her diary book then sits on her bed and falls into
frame, finally revealing her face for the first time. It is
definitely obvious now that it is the same girl (RENE) as
from the photos posted in that unknown basement earlier. She
rubs the lotion on her legs. We watch her rubbing, but after
a few seconds, the our angle changes to a different view with
her in the foreground and the bedroom window in the
background. We see that the curtains are open.
She glances at the window, but shes allows them to stay open.
She continues to rub the lotion on her legs and read her
diary.
8 EXT - GIRL'S BACKYARD - NIGHT 8
Cutting to the outside looking in, the sound and music are
muffled. Our view and movement shakes slightly, showing a POV
presence. Intercutting back and forth from the inside and
outside, the sound of a small branch cracks. Rene looks
outside. Thinking she heard something, it becomes very
silent. She pauses, but resumes her rubbing.
9 INT - GIRL'S BEDROOM- NIGHT 9
Cutting back to the last shot from within the bedroom, she
leans over to put more lotion on her legs, but by doing so,
the window becomes more clear in view. Our attention is
focused now to what is outside. A glare catches our eye as if
something is moving. Cutting to outside again, our view is
much closer and intimate of Rene. A breathing sound starts to
be heard in background. Back again to the inside, to the wide
shot of Rene and the clear view of the window, she still
notices nothing. Cutting to the outside once more to remind
us of the direct view inside, the suspense builds. Finally,
from that last wide shot from inside, the camera animates
step by step in closer increments passing directly through
the window straight to the outside (all in a matter of 2
seconds). Our view ends up in front of the trees with a
direct close-up of a siloet shadow in the dark. It is unclear
but it's definitely a darkened shape outline of a head with
some hood or hat on top of it. It can't be made out. Only an
eye-glass glare can be seen moving slightly in a human-like
manner. It watches, patiently, while Rene is in her private
moment.
10 EXT - GIRL'S BACKYARD - NIGHT 10
The underscore music antagonizes the audience during this
sequence, making them think something bad will happen, then
all of a sudden a hood face enters frame. It is startling.
Something bad is going to happen, but just before it does,
the Rene gets up. She walks over to her dresser again. The
breathing in the background builds. She takes off her bra.
Her back faces our view, looking in from the outside. She
walks away over to her door where she came in, then the
lights go out. The whole room goes dark. The breathing builds
up heavily out of desperation. Body movement from within the
tress is heard and just when you think the scene is over, the
picture turns contrasty green. The sound of a buzzing noise
from a charging light bulb goes off. Night vision goggles are
switched ON. The breathing is at its strongest. The watcher's
night vision view shows just the last half second of her
waking over to her bed and getting under the covers. The
watcher misses some action, becomes frustrated, then searches
abruptly for something interesting. Finding nothing more, the
sound of night vision goggles shut OFF..........Everything
turns black.
12 EXT - SHOP - DAY (BLACK & WHITE) 12
Possibly a dream.
A close up of a keys locking a shop door shows a medieval
face key chain. Pulling back to reveal the person locking the
shop, a girl steps out of frame just before we see her face.
Cutting to a long shot it appears to be the same girl (Rene)
who has been stalked the night before.
13 EXT - STREET SIDEWALK - DAY (BLACK & WHITE) 13
(Creepy piano music plays in
background)
Rene walks along the side walk browsing shop windows. Shaken
views of what seems to be someone watching, is back. The POV
presence returns.
14 EXT - STREET CORNER - DAY (BLACK & WHITE) 14
Showing an empty sidewalk at the corner of a building,
footsteps approaching are heard. Rene enters frame and is
startled. She sees someone who she doesn't want to see her.
Her POV shows that it is Devin, the same guy in the picture
from her bedroom. He is talking to another girl. Spying on
the two of the them, her mobile phone rings loud. She jumps
and struggles to get to her phone, trying to go unnoticed.
It's her friend on the phone, waiting for her.
HEIDI
Hey.. Where are you??
RENE
Oh.. I'm coming. I'm coming.
Rene steps back. Shes looks down, while being distracted by
the phone call. She speaks to her friend, but the guy glances
over to her. He is distracted himself by her phone call.
HEIDI
Well hurry up. I'm just standing around
here.
RENE
Ok.. I'll be right there.
HEIDI
Alright. Bye.
RENE
Bye.
Rene switches her phone off, takes a look back to the two
talking. Nobody is there anymore. Only the girl, whom the guy
was talking to, is seen walking away. Rene is puzzled, but
then walks on her way.
15 EXT - ALLEY - DAY 15
Rene takes a short cut through an empty alley. Nobody can be
seen. The creepy piano music is back. It plays in the
background. Rene notices dark areas in the alley, where the
back doors of shops are located. A presence is felt. She
continues walking. Again, looks to the side and behind her,
feeling as if she's being followed. Background music builds
up. She continues her walk forward. She hears whispers
echoing. She takes another look back, turns completely
around, and walks backwards. Still, she sees nothing, just
whispers fading away. She turns forward again, then all of a
sudden someone grabs her and startles her.
HEIDI
Heyyyy! What's with you? Are you alright?
RENE
(Breathing heavily)
Uh.. yea, I'm fine. Uh...I just...I just got a feeling
somebody was following me. It's just...strange.
HEIDI
(Looking behind Rene)
But I don't see anybody.
Rene looks back again. Nothing is there. Just a silent alley.
Heidi's sympathetic reaction shows that she thinks Rene is
imagining things.
RENE
Yea well.......yea I know...just
stupid...yeah, sorry.
HEIDI
Probable some psycho guy.
RENE
yeah?
HEIDI
Actually, I get weird calls all the time.
RENE
Really?
They both turn and walk away.
HEIDI
YES!
RENE
(voices fading)
By who?
Piano music plays again.
Our view cuts to a wide shot of the two girls walking away
down the alley. Picture fades away to a slow panning shot of
those old books blurred in the background.
INT - MAN'S BEDROOM - DAY
The panning continues and picture turns from the BLACK &
WHITE image to COLOR. A man's face enters frame at extreme
close up range. It is the same man lying on the bed from the
very beginning of the story. Apparently, he's been day
dreaming. We aren't really sure if this was his memory in his
day dream or a bad dream of Rene's just after the lights went
out, at the time she went to bed. The picture fade to black.
16 INT - HALLWAY- DAY 16
Cutting back to the same dark hallway as before, there is no
movement. It is silent with the exception to a faint thumping
sound in the distant background.
17 INT - MEDIEVAL SHOP - DAY 17
Two days later.
Rene is paying for a item at a cashier in this shop. Widening
the shot, our view shows she's visiting Devin (the Leonardo
Guy) at his job, where he said he worked at earlier. The shop
has many exotic items which date back to the old Renaissance
days. Guns, swords, masks, capes, and many other items are
seen in the background. Devin converses with her.
DEVIN
There you go.
RENE
Thank you.
DEVIN
So, how have you been.
RENE
Great, how've you been?
DEVIN
Just great. Cool stuff here huh?
RENE
(she holds up one of the masks)
Yes. There is.
DEVIN
Good to see you. So you doing anything
this weekend.
RENE
Oh, I may go to this party.
DEVIN
What kind of party... a masquerade party?
Rene smiles as he's guessed the truth.
DEVIN
Sounds like a good party. Can anybody go.
RENE
Not really.
DEVIN
Hmm.. you wanna pop out for a coffee?
RENE
I'm busy.
DEVIN
K.
RENE
...sorry
DEVIN
Well, hope to see you again soon.
RENE
Yea, maybe. Well thanks.
Rene takes her things and walks away towards the door.
DEVIN
(smiles)
Ok. Bye darling.
RENE
Bye.
She exits the shop.
18 EXT - MEDIEVAL SHOP - DAY - SIDEWALK 18
Rene steps outside the shop but drops her bag. She bends down
to pick it up, but a man steps down to the bag and grabs it
together with her.
MAN
Oh! Let me get that for you.
RENE
(hesitantly)
Ah.. thank you, you don't have to.
They both slowly stand up at the same time. Our view follows
and tilts up to reveal the man's face. It's the same man from
the park and the bed. His name is Thomas.
THOMAS
But I insist. I was just walking this way
myself.
THOMAS (cont'd)
...Okay
They wall along the side walk.
THOMAS
So you live around here?
RENE
Yea. Not to far.
THOMAS
Yea, I just moved here, from a farm
town.. this very "Harry" place.
He touches her. She laughs.
RENE
Hmm .. so you like the city life.
THOMAS
Well, I'm starting to get used to it.
It's not easy you know...trying to get to
know new people that is...
RENE
Yea, well, I guess you're doing the right
thing...
The both walk off and their voices fade away.
FADE TO:
19 EXT - RENE'S HOUSE - DAY 19
Later, both the Thomas and Rene are walking up her driveway.
He has obviously walked her home. Their voices fade back in.
THOMAS
... and we'd be chasing him all the way
down to the river.
RENE
Ha ha. That's pretty funny... Well, this
is it.
THOMAS
Yes. So it is.
RENE
Thanks for walking me home. It was really
kind of you.
THOMAS
The pleasure was all mine... Oh.. here
you go.
The man gives her bag back to her. They both laugh.
CUT
20 INT - STALKER'S BASEMENT - DAY 20
A window pops on screen with our view looking outside. It's
the same window we saw earlier. Panning down and refocusing
onto the wall of the interior, more photos become more clear
in focus. It's the same basement as before. Creepy music
plays in the background. More photos show they've been
collected over time and appear to be stranger in fashion.
There is sound in the background of construction taking
place. Photos are being fiddled with and tossed onto the work
bench into our view. No sight of anyone is seen. Our view
crosses the new photos Rene and stops one disturbing image.
It is Rene's face, distorted in figure. The picture fades to
black.
FADE TO BLACK.
21 INT - HALLWAY- DAY 21
We return to the hallway. No movement can be seen. Seconds
later, only the sound footsteps fade in. One of the doors in
the hall way opens. A man walks through the door and fiddles
around in the hallway closet . We don't see what he's doing.
He crosses our view back and forth from the closet, which is
blocked by the corner wall, to behind the door from where we
watch from. After a few seconds, he shuts the door, but just
for a second, we see that it is Thomas's face. The closing
door forces the picture to go black.
2 days later
22 EXT - GIRL'S MAILBOX - DAY 22
Rene walks over to her mailbox and opens it. She pulls out
her mail. Browsing her letters, the last one is an
invitation. She opens it. It's the same invitation that
Camila had (the one with the Mask and VIP printed on it) for
Saturday's party. To us, it looks likes the one that was in
Thomas's hands at the beginning while on his bed. She reads
it while walking back into her house.
23 EXT - MEDIEVAL SHOP - DAY 23
Rene returns to the shop where they have the medieval items.
This time shes in search of something interesting to wear as
a mask for the party. Her face passes our view at extreme
close range. She is very intrigued. It's a little spooky. She
walks over to the counter where the masks are more exotic.
She finds one which is black and gold, with lacy borders.
It is a stick mask. She picks it up for a closer look, and
tries it on.
CUT TO:
25 EXT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - PARTY - NIGHT 25
A taxi pulls up to the front of a Gothic style house. Black
iron gates encloses the premises. Rene gets out of the taxi.
Our view tracks along side while panning with her to reveal
the full house in the background. It is very mystical and
gigantic. The gates open and Rene walks away from our view
along the long stretch driveway toward the house's pillared
entrance. Thunder sounds in the background.
26 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - ENTRY HALL - NIGHT 26
While the sound of thunder lingers, our view cuts to the
inside the Gothic house. Our low view looking upwards shows
an empty stairwell at the entry hall. Sound of whispering
voices echo in the background but fade away.
27 LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - STAIRWELL - NIGHT 27
Seconds later high heel shoes step into frame at a close-up
view of the stairs. Cutting away to a full shot fish eye's
view of the stairwell, Rene walks up the stairs. She is in a
long elegant black dress, with the invitation and mask in her
hand. She makes a turn around the stairs to the next floor.
Couples are standing on the side along the stairwell and just
outside the entry room. They seem to be chatting to each
other, but no words can be made out, it's almost silent. She
continues climbing along the end of the stairs to the entry
room. She sees a picture frame on the side wall. It has a
white masked face on it. It's a little freaky. She passes it
but the eyes of the masked face follow and watch Rene pass
along. She approaches a doorway at end of the room. She takes
a look inside which appears to be a den. Tracking from behind
her, the doorway corners widen revealing a group of people
surrounding a couch with some activity taking place on it,
but the group blocks her view.
28 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - DEN - NIGHT 28
She steps inside the den to see what they are looking at. She
sees no movement out of the group. Circling around them, she
notices that the group is wearing different type Eumycetes on
them, some of them with stick-masks. Without moving a muscle
they continue to watch the activity. It's very strange. Rene
looks over to their view and finally sees a guy and girl on
the couch moving in a very sensual, un-ordinary way. They
don't seem to be bothered by the group watching as they
continue to caress each other. Rene is puzzled but smiles and
continues her walk. She sees an open lit doorway and heads
for it to exit.
29 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - HALL - NIGHT 29
Rene passes through the doorway. She leaves behind her the
group and the couple on the couch.
One of the masked members slowly looks at her but she
doesn't`t notice. However she does notice in the background,
between the heads of the masked members, a faceless hooded
person with a cape. This mystery person steps in the doorway
of the den from where she entered and stops. Rene puts on
her mask and exits the den. The caped person follows.
30 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 30
Rene enters a hall and continues her walk. She sees another
lit room which appears to be the living room. She sees more
people with the eye masks watching another event. This time
its a guy and two girls. He has both his arms around them
with one of them kissing his neck and the other playing with
his hair. He turns and glances at Rene. He smiles. It's Devin
(Leonardo Di Caprio look-alike) from the pictures in her
bedroom and the medieval shop. He smirks at her and looks
back to the girls. Shortly after, the blond haired girl looks
over to Rene with a smart-ass look. She is very beautiful and
Rene looks at her with envy. The girl continues to smile at
Rene showing shes having a good time with Devin, a guy Rene
admires. Moving in closer to the girl`s smiling face, her
mouth and eyes transform into a disfigured monster-like
figure. It transforms back in just a half second. Rene jumps.
She startled from the shock of the changed face. Rene backs
off and continues onward. She leaves the room but looks back
and sees the same faceless hooded person following. She
enters the hall.
31 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - HALL - NIGHT 31
Rene struts down the hall. She sees couples again along the
side. She turns around to see if the stalker is still
following, nothing yet. She comes to a corner and walks
around it. She looks again, this time seeing the stalker
entering the hall and coming towards her direction again. She
finds a dark large closet type room, hides inside it, and
closes the door behind her.
32 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - LINEN CLOSET - NIGHT 32
Black fills the picture. Soon after, a crack of light appears
by the closet door opening a couple of centimeters. Rene
watches through the cracked open door. She can`t be seen from
the outside with exception to her eye browsing her view. From
inside anxiously waiting, nothing happens. A couple seconds
later, footsteps are heard. The stalker finally gracefully
passes on by. She is relieved, but just after a few paces,
with the stalker's back towards Rene, the stalker stops,
turns around slowly, and walks back towards the cracked open
door. She closes the door tightly and waits. The lights are
out and she sees nothing. Footsteps grow closer and closer,
then stop. Only silence... Rene's breathing is heard. Five
seconds later, while in the dark, the sound of the door
latches turn abruptly. The door is locked from the outside(by
the stalker). Switching to a contrasty green image of her,
in what appears to be a large walk-in closet, night vision
goggles are use by some unknown person. Rene is obviously
blinded by the darkness.
The same close-up breathing as from outside her bedroom is
heard again. Standing, looking blindly into the darkness, she
speaks...
RENE
helloo... ?
A hand reaches out as if its going to touch her. The finger
tips are ever so close to her face but don't touch her. The
person does NOT want to get caught and alarm her of his
stalking presence. The hand barley reaches her as times when
all of sudden a the door unlatches. The stalker from inside
immediately is startled and backs off when all the light from
outside shines in by the door opening. It`s Devin, with his
arm around Rene's girlfriend, trying to get in.
GUY & GIRL
Ha ha...ha ha...
GIRL
Hi!!!!! Can we use this room?
RENE
Sure. Go ahead...
Rene leaves the large closet for her so called friends to
walk in and they close the door behind them, not knowing
what's in store for them, or what to expect.
33 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - HALL 2 - NIGHT 33
Rene comes around the corner and looks ahead of her. She
catches the caped stalker at the end of the corridor heading
for the stairwell, then disappears up the stairs. She follows
him. She continues along and reaches the stairwell and looks
up the stairs. Now -"The stalker is being stalked"- The
stalker exits the top of the stairs down a new hall to a new
room where a glare of light shines out through the opening of
a half opened door. She follows.
34 INT - LARGE GOTHIC HOUSE - ART ROOM - NIGHT 34
Rene's curiosity grows stronger and arrives to the doorway
and looks in. She sees a larger group of people with their
masks on watching another event. They are all motionless. But
this time she sees the stalker in the center, observing as
well. This is all too weird for her but can't stop her own
curiosity. She gracefully
steps in for a closer look. Again,
circling around the group to find out what this is all about.
Between the bodies of the group, she sees a bunch of girls on
their knees worshiping something. They are all in a trance.
She comes to the end of the last standing member of the
group. The suspense of the music builds up. She sees what the
group is looking at and is quickly startled. The object is
revealed. It is Rene! It is a ghostly replica of the body of
Rene. Same face, same body. But the skin of the replica is
dead white. The real Rene stumbles into a small table with
wine glasses on them and breaks one of them. The a noise of
breaking glass interrupts the viewing.
She's embarrassed and frightened. She immediately looks at
the group. They all slowly turn their heads toward her in a
creepy fashion. Her scared face notices the stalker, the last
to look at her as if the stalker is the leader of the group
and is very annoyed. Rene steps back briskly and by her third
step back, the people take a step towards her. She sees the
stalker turning his head towards her, but then all of a
sudden, she is jerked around and bumps into the body of a
man. Male hands immediately grab her arms by the wrists. Our
view, of just the shaken arms, tilts up to reveal the
aggressor. She looks to see who it is. It's Thomas!! He has
a serious and frightening look on his face, but after a
slight pause , with music dampening down, he gently smiles
and kindly takes only one of her hands and speaks...
THOMAS
Let's get out of here!
They leave and exit frame. We cut back to the stalker
unveiling his hood. The darken face of the caped stalker
lights up. The hood now comes completely off. It's Camila.
Rene's friend. Who would expect? She is devious. Her dark and
dead eyes glare slightly, symboling a devilish possession.
35 EXT - DRIVING CAR - BACKSEAT - NIGHT 35
Rene leans on her side in the back seat of a car. She looks
exhausted but relieved. Glaring lights pass on by in the
blurry background caused by the earlier rain on the car
windows. Looking at the driver, Thomas comes in view. He is
driving calmly. The sound of only tires riding over a wet
street with a slight drizzle on the windows are heard. All is
normal and relaxed. Rene watches the passing lights flash
through the side
window, not knowing where she's off too, but
glad to be out of that house. Still, there is no talking,
just driving. Very peaceful, almost to peaceful. She looks
down to the floor and see a strange material object. She
rises her head in effort of refocusing her vision. She sees
the object more clearly now. Showing a close-up view of the
object, it is a black cape and hood, just like the one the
stalker was wearing. Rene looks to Thomas. Showing only
Thomas's back ( no face), he continues to drive, but in a
very dead and zombish style (now noticeable). Rene look at
the doors, they are locked. She look back at Thomas. Unmoved,
he drives, still faceless. Rene`s face is stunned and
twisted, we cut to a close-up of the rear view mirror to see
Thomas's eyes looking forward to the street and unaware of
her discovery of the hooded cape. Rene, motionless, lies
there helpless. Looking back again to the rear view mirror,
but more intensely, Thomas still looks forward. Music builds
up in the background. Finally, MOVEMENT! Our view, which is
also Rene's P.O.V, is caught by Thomas's eyes, abruptly
directing his eyes straight for us, looking through the
mirror. His eye lids grow bigger and eye color turn slightly
red. With out blinking he holds a psycho devilish stare. CUT

LOW WIDE SHOT
The car drives over us and down the wet dark street and the
sound of a screaming yet laughing voice echoes in the
background. Picture turns to Black.
37 INT - STALKER'S BASEMENT - DAY 37
FADE IN:
Days later. We return back to the basement. Our view begins
at a close-up of Rene's photo in some hands. Pulling back
gradually, in one continuous shot, our view widens. The caped
stalker is finally revealed in the basement, slouching with a
humped back in a chair at the workbench, facing away from us
(still faceless). The stalker's hands intimately caress
her photo, reminiscing the memory of Rene.
Creepy music plays in the background. Our view widens
to its fullest. The complete basement is revealed for the
first time, showing all the stalkers collectables, especially
all of Rene's photos. About a few hundred of them. The window
in the background, recognizable from earlier scenes, shows
daylight, making the whole situation even more creepy, that
even in the middle of the day, the strangest things can
happen.
