EXT. FRONT GARDEN OF MODERNISED GOTHIC HOUSE - NIGHT We see the full exterior of the house, house is clean and clearly newly painted we view a 360 degree spin of the house As the spin continues, we see a quick view into each of four rooms, establishing three students and an empty room, with candles lit up in it, The candles blow a burst of fire and the we see a view from the house from the road. Lamp-posts flicker and we zoom into attic room window. INT. ATTIC ROOM - NIGHT SPOT is opening the window, he moves to a box on the floor as he's packing up his stuff. we see parcel tape roll past the box and stick to the floor on its own, SPOT goes to pick up the parcel tape and struggles, falling back onto his chair in front of his three computer monitors SPOT'S Monitors read out individually the letters D.I.E, SPOT panics and paces his room looking at the screens DERYCK Flashes on all three monitors. SPOT (Enthusiastically) What are you guys doing? Can you stop playing around with my internet? Is anybody else's playing up? SPOT panics and looks DERYCK directly in the eyes close up to the screen the parcel tape unravels dramatically, wrapping SPOT up and forcing him up onto the wall smashing through his screens, A small fire catches to the end of the parcel tape slowly burning up onto SPOT. SPOT (Screaming) AHHHHHHHHHHHH! INT. SECOND FLOOR FRONT OF HOUSE BEDROOM NIGHT SANDRA lying on the bed talking on the phone, the phone cuts off, and she redials. SANDRA (annoyed) Why does this house phone never want to work! She gets through to her friend on the phone and her friend carries on talking. She is looking at her collage of photographs. We see DERYCK within the background of an image in one of her photographs. DERYCK starts to move transferring photograph to photograph, SANDRA notices the movement of DERYCK and screams SANDRA (worried) Sarah... Sarah.. something is moving, on, on, on my wall. Something moving Sarah.
DERYCK look directly towards SANDRA SANDRA (screams) No. wait. NO!. NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Phone drops to the floor from the bed.
INT. FIRST FLOOR HALLWAY GARY runs to the bottom of the stairs and trips on uplifting floorboard, on the floor he notices, the floorboards beneath him are moving and cracking open on their own, He panics GARY (screaming) Sandra is that you! I'm coming! His path of the stairs becomes distorted with cracked open floorboards and a self-moving stairway he grabs the bannister which breaks off He has a quick rush idea, he jams the bannister into the most stable area and takes a small run up and vault as high as he can over the cracking stairway. He lands on his feet, beneath his back-heel the floorboards fall away forcing GARY to try and keep stable, we see through his legs DERYCK walking up to him. We see DERYCK'S face close up with an evil smirk DERYCK (evil) Boo GARY falls backward, and the floorboards recover around his body and go back to their normal state. INT. SECOND FLOOR BEDROOM REAR OF HOUSE NIGHT DERYCK in his room, lit by candles around his room, pentagram on the floor within the centre of it lays a ouija board. DERYCK (confidently) Spirits talk to me, if your there, talk to me. What happened in this house 10 years ago? A silent pause. The candles start going out one by one in order around the room Wind blows through the parcel taped up windows forcing a howling noise DERYCK (Shouts) what did them teenagers say that night and too my house-mates before me?
Engraving on wall appears, DERYCK reads out loud as he sees it DERYCK (curiously) From now I'm here, forever inside, call my soul to be. Stored in this house, I pledge inside so forever its just you and me. EXT. FRONT GARDEN OF MODERNISED GOTHIC HOUSE NIGHT All the Windows and curtains slam shut.
