Haunted House Screenplay.

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

The film starts with two adolescent ( 17-19) boys laughing and
smiling as they turn on the camera. The first one pulls him selfforward and stands straight.
Presenter:
Hi, Im and Im part of [something or other ghostbusters]
{Camera swivels around and changes hands. Finally it is pointing at
another adolescent boy.}
Cameraman:
Hi Im and Im the other part of [something or other
ghostbusters]
Im going to be filming our little expedition today. (There is an
audible snigger of laughter behind the camera.)
{Camera changes hands again} P1 is standing in front of it again.
He suddenly winces, turns and looks behind him in fright. It is P2s
turn to snigger. P1 turns back angrily.
Presenter (Glaring at cameraman who is past the camera):
What are you laughing at? Especially when you know what we are
about to do!
Cameraman (Behind the camera):
Alright. Chill! Its just a small one. Nothing we havent handled
before. You know what to do right?
P1 nods then cheers up again and starts smiling. He pulls out his
cross [Necklace? Bracelet? Just a cross?] and kisses it
overdramatically.
Presenter (Glances back at the camera):
Of course Lets go!
{Comes out of P.O.V camera footage?}{Look up at the house} The
two boys walk in, the presenter glancing back at the camera every
once in a while. They dont talk but look around cautiously when
they enter the house.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Presenter (Reasonably quietly)(To the camera):
We have entered the house. No sign of them yet.

Cameraman (Considerably louder):

Probably saw your ugly face and ran the other way!
Presenter (Past the camera at cameraman):
Shut up
Door slams and creak. Ominous.
Presenter:
(Scared) What the hell was that?!? (Calms himself and looks at the
camera) (Smiles unconvincingly) And so the intimidation games
have begun.
Cameraman (Behind the camera):
(Loudly) This guy needs to chill. (To himself) Or piss off.
Presenter:
Ssshh. I dont care if this is just a small ghost, it was enough to
scare the Lamberts away, so watch yourself.
Cameraman (Still behind the camera):
Yeah yeah. (With mocking surprise) Oh so thats why you wanted to
come here! Want to impress that Renai do you?
Presenter:
(Looking up at the sky) Lord help me! (To cameraman) Im warning
you. You werent this stupid the other 3 times we did this. This isnt
a joke you know.
The boys keep walking throughout the halls. Looking around scary
setting.
Cameraman:
This stuff is mank. Dunno how a even could live here (Louder)
Unless its half pig! (Snorts of laughter from cameraman)
Presenter:
Thats it! Come here. And switch off the camera, or at least put it
down!
{Camera is put down on stool/ledge/mantelpiece}{Facing them}
{Shadow of blackness hand moving the camera towards the wall}
Whispers of behave yourself and stuffs coming from the boys
huddle. Scream comes from the boys direction. Then silence. The
presenter crawls desperately and rapidly to the camera and grabs it
off the stool or mantelpiece thing. {Camera points at
cameraman}.

Presenter (shaking the cameraman):

Are you alright? Are you alright? (cameraman groans and wakes
up) Oh thank God!
Cameraman:
(Shakes his head). Whyd you hit me?
Presenter (Behind the camera):
What?!? I didnt!
Cameraman:
Well something hit me when I turned around! If you didnt, then
what did?... Oh [ask if we are allowed to swear]
Presenter:
This is no petty ghost. We have to expel him and get out of here. (To
camera) We can do this.
Cameraman looks scared. {Camera is returned to the
cameraman.} The boys continue to move throughout the house.
Presenter:
(To Cameraman) Hey, come look at this. And pass me the camera.
The presenter is looking at a painting/photo with a sheet over it.
{The camera changes hands to the presenter} Cameraman goes
ahead and takes the sheet off straight away.
Presenter (Behind the camera):
What are you doing! Dont touch anything!
Cameraman:
What the [a.i.w.c.s]! Look at this!
{Camera is moved closer/zoomed in to show a family with slashes
across all their necks that have been sewn up again}
Presenter:
Oh my Lord please protect us from your fallen angel. Lets us live for
our sins cannot replace your love and in the name of your almighty
holiness please give us power and courage to send your demon
back for holy retribution. Thanking y - what in the world
{Camera moves from photo/picture to cameraman, who is ijn the
same position and same clothes, but with a [black shrouded
face/different face/no face/different eyes]
Presenter:
Please!

Cameraman returns to normal and the presenter wordlessly eyes

the ceiling above him before moving down into the basement. They
stand together as they come down into the basement; the
presenter is shaking with fear. Cameraman is wordlessly staring at
a patch in the ground. {Camera switches to cameraman}
Presenter:
[cameramans name]. I didnt want it to be like this. Im sorry. Lets
just get out of here once this is done and never do this again.
Cameraman doesnt reply, but nods in recognition. Presenter
starts to do the rituals to expel the ghost, humming and drawing on
the ground. He is interrupted by a loud screech/roar, the
cameraman gets throw back against the wall, an audible crack
coming from him. He crumples to the ground, lifeless. {During this
the camera conveniently falls down, showing where he lies}{It is
swept up by the fleeing presenter}
Presenter:
Is this thing on?
{Camera turns and shows where he is running}
Presenter (Desperately):
Crap. Wrong turn. (At the corner turn) Please. No.
Just a glimpse of the black ghost is seen coming around the corner
and then the place changes.
BEDROOM
The presenter wakes up in his bed in cold sweats, breathing
heavily. A black figure is clearly seen in the corner of his room
behind him, watching. FIN
