The Witch In the Woods (Preview)

This is an excerpt of my new screenplay to be released into a film April 26, 2013 on youtube. Check out my channel now cmsbball04 Thanks!

CANDICE moves her hand back and forth signaling

TAYLOR to follow. TAYLOR is bouncing up and down

nervously.

 

                  TAYLOR
I’m not sure...

 

                  CANDICE
It’s fine.

 

CANDICE and TAYLOR bend down close to the ground

and walk toward the old, ragged shack. They reach

the front door. They are still bent down, exchanging

glances while looking up at the window on the door.

 

                  TAYLOR (WHISPERING)
We’re gonna get caught, and

I’m blaming you when I die.

 

                  CANDICE (WHISPERING)
Let’s see if she’s home.

 

CANDICE stands up, smiling. She raises her fist and

knocks on the door. She looks down at TAYLOR. TAYLOR

just looks up at her. CANDICE stands there for a moment.

Nobody comes to the door. TAYLOR stands up and looks

at CANDICE, hatefully. TAYLOR puts her hands on her hips.

 

                  TAYLOR
Let’s go.

 

                  CANDICE
No.

 

                  TAYLOR
She’s not home.

 

                  CANDICE
Exactly.

 

CANDICE turns to the door and slowly places

her hand on the rusty doorknob with no lock

hole in it. She twists it.

 

                  TAYLOR
Don’t!

                  CANDICE

Shh...

 

CANDICE pushes the door open.

 

INT. WITCH’S SHACK-DARK

The shack is dark, the floors

are dirt. CANDICE enters, TAYLOR
follows.

 

                  CANDICE

Is there a light switch?

 

TAYLOR strains her eyes on the wall. She touches

the wall. She quickly jerks it back.

 

                  TAYLOR
I just touched something hairy.

CANDICE walks to a window, covered with a

black plastic. She tears the plastic off. The

sunlight shines in, revealing black, hairy spiders

that cover the wall. A table sits in front of the

far wall. Jars are covering it. Brown liquid, red

liquid, gooey, nasty things are in them. TAYLOR
screams. The front door shuts before she can run out.

TAYLOR looks to CANDICE.
