The Terror at Mason Manor

INT. MANSION - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT


The living room is a very spacious area, your
typical-looking from the stand point of wealthy people.

 

The large fireplace burns away casting a sick orange glow
from its location.

 

The lights are off, only CANDLES burn around the room. All
in different locations. On the mantle of the fireplace,
tables, etc.

 

From one side of the room, coming from an open doorway,
MARIO MARQUIS, mid 20s, dressed in a black and red cloak,
walks out, holding a large old-looking BLACK BOOK with
strange symbols etched on it. He CHANTS some weird language
that to the average human is unknown.

 

                                                                 2.

 

His face is slightly hidden but you can see he’s a little
overweight and sporting a black goatee.

 

Mario approaches FIVE young GIRLS and a slender tall YOUNG
MAN, who are also dressed in black and red.

 

The five young girls sit in a circle on a rug in front of
the fireplace holding hands. Their heads are covered with
the cloaks’ hoods.

 

The young man stands behind the young girls in front of the
fireplace overlooking them.

 

The girls CHANT the same type of language Mario chants; it’s
a strange brew of words that don’t make sense in an English
standpoint.

 

Then the young man repeats it in a WHISPER. Almost
evil-sounding in a monotone treble.

 

In the middle of the girls lies a large wooden OUIJA BOARD.
The girls’ hands are placed on top of a planchette piece. A
piece seeming to be made of Ivory or of some sort of bone.

 

Mario approaches the five young girls, still chanting and
stands beside the young man.

 

He raises the black book above his head.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          Brother and sisters of the Daemon
          Light, today we are here to
          sacrifice the virginal body and
          soul of Kayla Mason to appease
          Lucifer’s minions from taking his
          thrown. The rightful place of the
          one TRUE leader of this world. This
          is our gift from He. In order for
          us to be given reign on this plane,
          we MUST obey our Dark Lord’s words.
          His wisdom is what makes us
          stronger, His words is what makes
          us powerful and His strength is
          what gives us immunity to the Holy
          power. In order for us to do this,
          we must enslave a host with one of
          Lucifer’s minions. Continue the
          Dark Lord’s passage and concentrate
          the resurrection.

 

With the other hand, Mario takes out a dagger with a wavy
black blade. On the handle of this dagger rests a GREEN
crystal that shimmers slightly from the dim lighting in the
room.

 

                                                               3.

 

Everyone continues to chant.

 

The makeshift Ouija board before them is written in blood
letters and numbers. (Kayla’s blood)

 

Under the makeshift board is a large MIRROR painted with a
bloody PENTAGRAM followed by other Satanic symbols. Not all
of those details are noticed because of the placement of the
Ouija board on top of it. But, it’s clear what it is.

 

They continue their CHANT. Scary, slow and steady that
builds up to a tension-filled atmosphere.

 

                                                       CUT TO:

 

INT. MANSION - LARGE DEN - NIGHT
 

 

Eerie CALYPSO music plays from the record.

 

A large portrait of the Mason Family hangs above a reclining
sofa. They seem happy in it.

 

The glass on the portrait CRACKS! It grows from Kayla’s
image all the way to Harold Mason, Jr’s head and stops
there.

 

                                                       CUT TO:

 

INT. MANSION - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

 

The CHANTING continues from the group.

 

The girls rise to their feet in unison, still holding their
hands together.

 

Mario continues to hold the black book above his head with
one hand and in the other he holds the funky-looking dagger.
Chanting away.

 

The Ouija board’s planchette vibrates on top of the wooden
Ouija board.

 

One candle’s flame grows larger than the other candles’.

Turning from a fiery orange to a fiery RED.

 

Then, like an invisible BEING did it, the flame blows out!

 

The girls stop chanting. SPOOKED! The young man does the
same followed by Mario. He lowers the black book down to his
pudgy gut.

 

Mario hesitates. Not sure of what happened.

 

                                                               4.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          ...It has begun.

 

A door, down the hall, CREAKS open letting the CALYPSO music
leak out from the room. Then the vinyl stops. A record

SCREECH.

 

The group look at each other with frightened expressions.
Mario clears his throat.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          Very well, let us commence--

 

Then the creaking door sways closed.

 

The group look at each other in confusion. Most of them look
to Mario for answers.

 

Mario turns away.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          It is now time for the sacrifice.

 

A WHIMPER. It’s KAYLA MASON, early 20s, tied and gagged on a
large MIRROR on a wall. Another PENTAGRAM is painted on this
mirror. Same as the Ouija board.

 

Kayla squirms around trying to break free from the ropes.
Her wrists bruised and bloody from her desperate attempts.

 

Then, a candle on a table tips over, spilling wax and
burning out.

 

The girls turn to the fallen candle. Frightened.

 

Their chanting stops.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          That’s okay, girls. Just keep the
          seance going. What we witnessed was
          a sign from the Dark Lord himself.

 

The girls continue their chants.

 

Kayla’s scared look only gets worse when the five girls
approach her. Their faces covered in shadows. But the whites
of their eyes GLEAM through.

 

The young man starts off an eerie laugh that can make your
skin crawl. He slows down puting his head down.

 

The group turn to look at him in confusion.

 

                                                              5.

 

The young man lifts his head up staring at Kayla with blank
eyes. (Possessed)

 

He seems different. His complexion pale and his eyes and
cheeks sunken with a creepy grin on his face.

 

Mario stands in his spot concentrating with his black book
in hand.

 

The five girls stand aside, letting the young man walk past
them.

 

Kayla CRIES out, her watery eyes look in all directions,
trying to find a way out. She squirms and whimpers to the
point where she tries to scream.

 

The young man approaches Kayla in a very possessed-like
manner. A demon’s human puppet controlled by invisible
wires.

 

Kayla SCREAMS out from underneath the gag in her mouth. Her
tears flow out in quick succession.

 

The young man approaches her, face to face with Kayla now.
His eyes, still looking upward in that dead stare with no
luster.

 

An evil grin appears upon his gaunt face. Then, his bloody
eyes turned upward, move down to stare directly at Kayla.

 

Mario approaches the young man handing him the strange
dagger. The young man grasps it with his pale hand.

 

Mario backs away.

 

The young man, never taking his unblinking stiff eyes from
Kayla, lifts up the strange dagger up to Kayla’s throat.
Kayla pleads with her eyes, crying more than before.

 

Then, as quick as the young man lifted the dagger, he slices
her from one side of the throat to the other.

 

Kayla shakes and screams from the pain fading to a stop as
she loses blood in clumps. Her head hangs down as blood
continues to flow, staining her white gown. She dies.

 

ALL the candles blow out, darkening the room.
The fireplace and harvest moon are the only source casting
light.

 

The girls squirm and whimper.

 

                                                             6.

 

                    MARIO MARQUIS
          It’s all right girls. Everything
          will be all right. This is what is
          supposed to happen.

 

The planchette rises from the Ouija board like magic and
falls into the fireplace, causing a horrific GREEN color to
BURST into flames.

 

The young man falls to the ground, while Kayla’s blood drips
on top of him.

 

Then a strange yellow foam SIZZLES out from the young man’s
mouth.

 

                                                    FADE TO BLACK:
