Title: World's Shortest Horror Films! (tm pending) Part One Post by: AoTFan on January 29, 2017, 11:14:11 PM A NEW revolutionary series by yours truly! Enjoy!
"Party at the Grave" by Mike Allan (Group of a teenagers, including the usual tropes-the Jock, the Cheerleader, Thin Nerd, Heavyset Joker, The Stoner, Black Dude, Black Dude's Black Girlfriend, Goth chick-are sitting around a picnic table in the later evening. A bottle of alcohol and a few cans of beer sit on the table. We hear indistinct conversation as laugher as the camera pans closer to them.) Jock (suddenly stops and looks around): Ah, shoot, guys it's starting to get late! We better jet before the cops show. Black Dude: Yeah, man, that's a good idea. But I'm not ready to go home. Where should we take this? (Brief pause) Heavyset Joker: Oh, I got an idea! Let's go over to the cemetery! It'll be completely empty and we can party like crazy there! (Abrupt dead silence. A beat, then-) The Stoner (choking on drag): Seriously, dude? That's like totally disrespectful! Black Dude's Black Girlfriend: Not to mention creepy! Thin Nerd; Yeah, man! Goth (who's been standing a bit off to the side by herself at this point, suddenly speaks): My Aunt is buried in that cemetery. She died last year from cancer. Cheerleader (walks over and puts her arm around her): Ah, Jaime, I'm so sorry... (Everyone else glares at Joker) Jock: Oh, good move, dude! Black Guy: Yeah, man, way to bring up a bad memory. (Everyone else starts to mumble their agreement.) Thin Nerd: Hey, I got it! Why don’t we go to my place? Parents are out of the town for this weekend, and I’ve got pretty decent-sized basement. Jock: Yo, that’s sounds good! (Others, except Joker, chime in). Cheerleader: Yeah, let’s do that! (Everyone grabs their cups and walks off stage left, except the Joker, who stands alone for a bit.) Joker (sighs): Still say it would have been cooler to go to the cemetery. (Walks off, following the rest of the crowd.) THE END |
