INT. LAUNDRY ROOM
"Lindsey, I'm in the laundry room! The door is stuck!" Annie shouts as she turns and glances at the window above the washing machine.
The shape is gone. She quickly crosses to the washing machine, climbs up on top of it and starts out the window.
Half way through she gets stuck. She tries to squirm her way back in but it's hopeless, "Lindsey! Lindsey, goddamn it, help!" From the house Annie hears the phone ring, "Lindsey, answer the phone! It's Paul! Lindsey! LINDSEY!"
INT. WALLACE HOUSE
Lindsey still sits in front of the TV. She lets the phone ring away. Finally she gets up and walks to the phone, her eyes pivoted on the TV.
She picks up the receiver, "Hi, Lindsey, this is Paul. Is Annie there?" He asks
"Yes, she is." Lindsey responds
Paul V.O, "Will you get her for me."
"She's washing her clothes." Lindsey responds
Paul V.O, "Well, go tell her it's me, okay?"
"Okay." Lindsey responds as she hangs up the phone and walks through the kitchen to the back door.
She calls from the door, "Annie, Paul's on the phone!"
ANGLE ON ANNIE Hanging Outside The Window, "Lindsey, open the door! I'm locked in the laundry room!"
EXT. LAUNDRY ROOM
Lindsey crosses to the laundry room door. It is bolted from the outside. She lifts the bolt and looks inside the room.
INT. LAUNDRY ROOM
"You locked yourself in." Lindsey says
"I know. Pull my legs. I'm stuck." Annie says, Lindsey pulls on Annie's legs and she slides from the window onto the dryer, "Lindsey, promise you won't tell anyone!"
INT. WALLACE HOUSE
As Annie and Lindsey walk back inside the house, the phone rings. Lindsey races across the room and picks it up.
"She was stuck in the window, she'll be right here." Lindsey says as she sets down the receiver and walks out of the kitchen.
Annie gives Lindsey a dirty look and picks it up, "Hello, Paul. (pause) All right, cut it out. It can happen to anyone. (pause) Yeah, but I've seen you stuck in other positions!"
😧
Suddenly behind Annie the shape walks through the hallway between the living room and the kitchen.
She doesn't see it, "That's fantastic! When did they leave? (pause) Utterly fabulous! So why don't you just walk over? (pause) My clothes are in the wash. I can't come now. (pause) Shut up, jerk. I've got a robe on. That's all you think about. (pause) That's not true. I think about lots of things. Why don't we not stand here talking about and get down to doing them? All right, see you in a few minutes."
Annie hangs up the phone. She walks into the living room. Lindsey is back watching the TV Horrorthon, "I'm scared."
"Then why are you sitting here with the lights off?" Annie asks
"I don't know." Lindsey responds
"Well, come on, get your coat. We're going to pick up Paul." Says Annie
"I don't want to." Lindsey responds
"Look, Lindsey, I thought we understood each other." Annie says
"I want to stay here and watch this." Lindsey insists
Annie calculates a moment, "Okay, if I can fix it so you can watch TV with Ellie Warren and Tommy Doyle would you like that?"
Lindsey's eyes light up, "Yes."
"Come with me." Annie orders
CUT TO: EXT. STREET -- NIGHT
Annie and Lindsey come out of the Wallace house. Lindsey carries a bowl of popcorn. Annie has a coat over the negligee.
They walk down the street to the Doyle's. The wind blows strong and whips the negligee around Annie's lets.
ANOTHER ANGLE -- STREET. As the girls make their way down the street. The shape steps into the glow of a streetlight and watches them.
He pulls a large knife from his pocket. The blade glistens in the light.
INT. DOYLE HOUSE -- NIGHT
Ellie, Laurie and Tommy are covered with pumpkin meat when the doorbell rings. Tommy runs to answer it.
He opens the door. Annie and Lindsey stand there, "Hi, come on in. We're making a Jack-o'-lantern." Tommy says
"I want to watch TV." Lindsey says
Lindsey see the TV on and runs into the living room. She takes off her coat; sits in front of the TV and eats her popcorn.
Laurie comes from the kitchen. She glances at Annie's coat, "Fancy."
"This has not been my night. My clothes are in the wash, I spilled butter down the front of me, I got stuck in a window..." Annie complains
"I'm glad you're here because I have something I want you to do. I want you to call up Ben Tramer
and tell him you were just fooling around." Laurie orders
"I can't." Annie responds
"Yes, you can." Laurie responds
"He went out drinking beer with Mike Godfrey and he won't be back until late. You'll have to call him tomorrow. Besides, I'm on my way to pick up Paul." Annie explains
Laurie glances at Lindsey, "Wait a minute here..." Laurie realizes
"If you watch her, I'll consider talking to Ben Tramer
in the morning."
"Deal. Hey, I thought Paul was grounded." Laurie responds
"He was. Old jerko found a way to sneak out. Listen, I'll call you in an hour or so." Annie says
Before Laurie can say anything else, Annie rushes out the door. Laurie closes the door and looks in at Tommy, Ellie and Lindsey engrossed in the Horrorthon, "The old girl scout comes through again."
EXT. WALLACE HOUSE -- GARAGE -- NIGHT
Annie hurries across the backyard and steps into the garage. She walks to her car, "Oh, Paul, I give you all..." She tries the door. It is locked, "No keys, but please... my Paul."
Quickly she turns and walks out of the garage.
INT. WALLACE HOUSE
Annie wanders through the empty house looking for her purse. She finds it in the front room, takes out her brush and lipstick and stands in front of the mirror primping, "My Paul, I can no longer stall..." She glances up at her image in the mirror, "Lucky thing. Spilled butter on her clothes, but nobody will know... (sings) except for Paul..." Suddenly the phone Rings. Quickly Annie grabs it, "Hello. Oh hi, Dad. (pause) No, just watching TV with Lindsey. (pause) Be careful about what? (pause) Well, if you won't tell me how can I be careful? (pause) Sure, sure I will. Bye, dad."
She hangs up, grabs her purse and rushes out the door.
INT. GARAGE
Annie walks into the garage, over to her car and opens the door. It is now unlocked, but Annie doesn't notice.
INT. CAR
Annie slides in and inserts the key in the ignition. The car starts. Annie glances at the car door lock.
Suddenly she remembers it was locked. She stares at it, puzzled. An instant later, a man sits up in the back seat.
He wears a Halloween mask made of rubber with the grotesque features of a man. He reaches forward and grabs her.
Annie Screams. She lurches for the door. The man puts one hand over her mouth and brings the huge butcher knife up to her throat.
INT. GARAGE -- ANGLE ON CAR
From outside the car we see the struggle inside. Annie's Anguished face presses against the steamed window.
Her Screams are muffled by the closed car. Annie is then killed when Michael slits her throat with his blade and, the struggle stops. Annie's face slides down the car window leaving a track in the wet surface. Then slowly the track in the glass steams over again.
