Hide and Seek Final Script
HIDE AND SEEK
Script
SCENE 1
FLASHFOWARD BEGINS
INT – SMALL ROOM WITH SINGULAR CHAIR – NIGHT
Tyler is sitting on the chair
unable to escape from it. He is dirty and looks like he has been involved in a
brutal struggle. He has a small puzzle box in his hands and he is frantically
trying to open it, but to no avail.
TYLER:
(Crying/panicked/shaking)
A shadow of a person falls over Tyler and the camera zooms out to see a
dark silhouette standing looking at Tyler.
INT – BARN – NIGHT
Two figures are walking side by
side. Their surroundings are black and the only things we can see are the two
character’s bodies (from the neck down).
INT - TABLE – NIGHT
The puzzle box is in the dead
centre of the table. A hand grabs the box so violently that the whole table
shakes and there is a loud bang.
INT – SMALL ROOM WITH SINGULAR CHAIR – NIGHT
Tyler is sitting on the chair unable
to escape from it. He is dirty and looks like he has been involved in a brutal
struggle. He has a small puzzle box in his hands and he if frantically trying
to open it, but to no avail. This time the shots are much closer and Tyler
seems to be more panicked and desperate than before.
TYLER:
I can’t do it.
Please… Stop this!
(Sobbing/shaking violently/spluttering)
FLASHFOWARD ENDS.
SCENE 2
EXT – OUTSIDE ABANDONED BARN – DUSK
Tyler and Charlie are outside a
disused barn. They are looking for a way to break in and explore it.
CHARLIE:
This looks creepy
(Looking from the bottom to the
top of the barn with a sick look on her face)
TYLER:
We should go in there
(Tyler strides towards the door
while Charlie looks at Tyler with a panicked expression on her face)
CHARLIE:
We can’t!
(Charlie grabs Tyler by the arm)
TYLER:
Come on, it’s not like there’s
gonna be anyone in there.
It’s abandoned.
Nobody’s been in here for years.
EXT – OUTSIDE DOOR OF BARN – DUSK
The two are standing right next
to the door of the barn. Tyler is examining the door trying to figure out a way
in while Charlie is standing beside him looking scared.
CHARLIE:
How do we get in then?
Tyler:
Through
the door, I’ll just kick it down
(Tyler looks around then gives the
door a strong barge with his shoulder and the door effortlessly slides open,
they both have a surprised look on their faces at how easily the door opens)
Charlie:
That was easier than I thought, but you can go first.
(She grabs Tyler and puts him in front of her)
Tyler:
You really are scared aren’t you?
(He has a faint smile on his face)
Charlie:
Just go in first please.
Tyler turns and strides confidently through the door into pitch
darkness. Charlie sheepishly follows and they are both engulfed in darkness.
The door shuts behind them.
SCENE ENDS
SCENE 3
INT – CORNER OF BARN – NIGHT
Charlie is facing away from the
camera, searching behind a group of wooden boards. Her phone is in her hand and
the flash is on.
CHARLIE:
Come on Tyler it’s not funny anymore.
Just
come out already.
Please…
I hate hide and seek.
(She is looking around panicked and desperate)
BANG
The loud band startles Charlie as she jumps and turns round, in the
process, dropping her phone.
INT – FLOOR – NIGHT
Charlie’s phone is lying
shattered on the floor.
The
phone then starts ringing and vibrating coming up with ‘UNKNOWN NUMBER’.
INT – CORNER OF THE BARN – NIGHT
Charlie answers the phone and
there is a split scene of both Charlie and the caller on their phones.
ANTAGONIST:
I
have found your friend
(A creepy smile is twisted onto
the caller’s face and they hang up)
Charlie is left alone looking shaken and terrified.
INT – MAIN BARN – NIGHT
Charlie frantically runs across
the barn towards the door they came in. When she arrives she tries to open it
but it will not budge. She then reverts to fiercely pushing and pulling at it.
When that is shown not to work she results in kicking and hitting it.
CHARLIE:
(Grunting/crying/yelling)
SCENE ENDS
SCENE 4
INT – ABANDONED BARN – NIGHT
Charlie is alone in the
decrepit barn, attempting to look for her friend Tyler.
TYLER:
(Screams)
Charlie, terrified, looks
around in shock. She spots drag marks on a nearby wall and/or on the floor.
Charlie cautiously walks towards the marks to investigate.
CHARLIE:
(Gasps)
Charlie backs away, but stumbles
as she does so, causing a clatter and letting out a squeak of surprise.
Petrified, Charlie tries to make as little noise as possible, but cannot
control her scared, heavy breathing. A shadow moves in the background.
Scratching sounds can be heard.
“Hide and seek” scratched on
chosen medium shows on-screen.
Dissolve to:
INT – BLACK – NIGHT
ANTAGONIST:
Come out, come out wherever you are!
(Small giggle develops to insane laughter)
