NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: DREAM REUNION written by Eric Dickson
[email protected] OVER BLACK Riotous APPLAUSE and the sound of a MARCHING BAND leading a familiar football charge almost drown out the sound of a thumping HEARTBEAT. BUMP-BUMP. BUMP-BUMP. BUMP-BUMP. And then, the long and piercing hiss of a RINGING IN SOMEONE'S EARS. FADE IN: EXT. PENNSBORO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STADIUM - NIGHT The beautiful green eyes of CLEO FORD (17), black girl, curly hair, shabby chic -- suddenly burst open. On the FIFTY YARD LINE. Cleo is out of breath...out of sorts...and totally unaware of her surroundings. She wears a wild homecoming dress with a pair of equally wild leggings. A full crowd of hometown spectators CHEER HER ON from the tall bleachers before her. Standing near Cleo, looking equally confused, is RANDY DYER (17), tall, thin, black eyes. A real burnout. He is in a simple basketball jersey and jeans. Randy stares over at -- STEPHEN "STEP" LOWERY (18), all star jock, football hero and class stud. Step is in his football uniform and leans on a crutch due to a broken right leg. But this is news to Step as he stares down at his cast with confusion. Step stares back at -- HARLEY BODEN (17), pink hair, Harley Davidson jacket over a pair of homemade denim shorts. Just like her hair, cut about three inches too short. Harley, Step and Randy all stare back at Cleo who is dead center of the action and the only one wearing proper homecoming attire. Cleo shakes her head, pleading ignorance as she stares back at the rowdy crowd in the stands growing rowdier by the second.
