Two Minute Scream #1: The Room

A family is sitting at the dinner table eating turkey. A little boy looks around the room in despair.

Boy Mom… may I use the bathroom?

Mother But Danny, we have company.

Danny But I’ve got to go!

Mother Fine, be back in a minute.

INT. Bathroom

The boy zips up his pants. He looks into the mirror and fixes his tie.

Danny I hate dinners. They are stupid! What’s the big deal, so we have company. I’d rather be eaten than have this stupid meal.

EXT. Hall

Danny walks out into the hall. He starts to walk down the hall, then a noise is heard from behind him. A voice calls his name.

Voice (Echo) Danny, come here. I’ve got a present.

Danny MOMMY!

Danny turns around and runs into the kitchen.

Mom Danny, what’s your problem?

Danny There is a person in your room!

Mom There is nobody in my room, Danny! Go to your room.

Danny But mom---

Mom Do it now, or else!

Danny Ok. CUT TO

INT. Danny’s room

Danny is lying on his bed. He is just sitting there looking at the floor. He is looking at the floor, then he hears the same voice… but this time… it’s coming from the air vent above his bed.

Danny What? Hello?

Voice Danny, Hi. Danny, come here.

Danny runs for his door… but it slams shut and locks. His dresser moves in front of it.

Danny MOMMY! MOMMY! HELP ME!!!!!

Voice No one can save you now, Danny. It’s just you and me!

Suddenly, the scariest thing a boy could imagine comes out of the air vent.

Voice Danny, don’t be afraid! WE just want to… PLAY!

A vision of the monster jumps at Danny and Danny screams.

FADE OUT

CUT TO

INT. Danny’s room

Danny’s mother opens the door. She looks at the floor and sees---

HER SON IS FOAMING OUT OF THE MOUTH, HE IS DIEING OF SHOCK.

Mother DANNY! NO! DANNY!

The mother runs over to Danny and picks him up…Danny whispers in her ear.

Danny Satin’s friend!

Danny dies. The mother screams.

FADE OUT
