We see Hannah Rose, a 17-year-old girl with long blonde hair with faded streaks of green dye in it. Her eyes are green with a hint of blue, giving it a greenish-teal look. She’s watching the Scary Movie, Hereditary. She’s lying on the couch with her phone on and facing up. Then her phone dings and she checks her texts, and it shows an overlay showing two sides of texts

Jennifer: [watcha doin?]

Hannah: [wachin a movie, u?]

Jennifer: [bout to go out]

Hannah: [and do what?]

Jennifer: [idk just wanna get out and do something, unlike you]

Hannah: [what shoul i be doing then?]

Jennifer: [idk, its Halloween tomarrow, you gonna celebrate or somthing??]

Hannah: [i am, im gonna be enjoying a scary movie tomorrow to]

Jennifer: [you never get out tho]

Hannah: [mabe tomorrow we can go to that party youve been talking about]

Jennifer: [thats more like it]

Hannah: [now let me get bacck to my movie Jen]

Hannah puts her phone down and goes back to her movie, then gets a call and answers it without looking at the caller ID, which reads “Unknown”

Hannah: What is it, Jen?

Unknown: This isn’t Jen

Hannah: Oh, then who is this?

Unknown: I’ll tell you my name if you tell me yours

Hannah: Ha ha, funny, this prank is so goddamn outdated

Unknown: Too bad for you, it isn’t a prank, Hannah

Hannah: I- who is this?

Unknown: Maybe you’ll find out soon

Hannah gets up and goes into the kitchen to grab a knife, a steak knife

Unknown: Let’s play a game

Hannah: I’m not going to play your sick games

Unknown: You have no choice unless you wanna die

Hannah: Shut up, bitch

Unknown: We have a deal or not, Hannah?

Hannah: You come in here and I swear, I will make you fucking regret-

There’s a low laugh in the background from the unknown caller’s side

Unknown (low whisper): Shut up, Jack

Hannah: Jack? Are you fucking kidding me?

The caller’s voice changes from a low menacing voice to a more familiar voice to Hannah

Charlie: Yup, and he ruined the prank

Jack: I couldn’t hold it back

Hannah: You dumbasses are jerks

Charlie: Jen called us and said you weren’t in the Halloween spirit so we decided to give you a bit of a scare

Hannah: Just don’t do this to her, her mom would freak if she found out

Jack: We know, we know

Charlie: So why are you staying cooped up in your house,

Hannah: I just want to enjoy the night by myself

Hannah hears a knock on the door and turns to it with a slight yelp

Charlie: Hannah?

Hannah: I’m fine, probably some trick-or-treaters who didn’t get that Halloween is tomorrow or something. I’ll talk to you dumbasses later

Jack: By-

She hangs up, and there’s another knock. She opens the door and there’s no one

Hannah: Oh great, another prank, how wonderful-

Just then someone dressed in a Ghostface costume moves in front of the door and stabs Hannah, and she Screams. Then the Ghostface pulls the knife away slowly showing that the blade was collapsable and they run away laughing

Hannah: Yeah you better run you little jerk! (sigh) I fucking hate Halloween

She slams the door and a picture falls from a shelf next to the door, but she catches it and looks at it. It’s a picture of Hannah and her mother. It cuts to a car skidding out of control with a screech and crash for a second, then it goes back to Hannah with a tear running down her face. She puts the picture back on the shelf

Then we get a TITLE CARD “Halløween Night”

We cut to a skyview Woodsboro High, and then to Hannah walking in on her phone. Then a girl named Jennifer Prescott runs up and hugs her. She has dark brown hair that seems to shift to the right. Her eyes look hazel and dart around at anything that catches them

Jennifer: Hey Rose

Hannah: Hey Jen

Jennifer: Happy Halloween!

Hannah: Yayyy…

Jennifer: C’mon be happy

Hannah: I’ll try but Halloween isn’t exactly my thing

Jennifer: Then we gotta make it your thing

Hannah: I don’t know-

Jennifer: You know this town takes Halloween seriously

Hannah: I didn’t notice

Hannah motions to all the decorations littered throughout the hall

Jennifer: We’ll talk about you getting a costume during lunch

Hannah: Wait, a costume?

Jennifer had already run off to class and we heard the bell ring and cut to Hannah walking into her English class.

Mrs. King: Hannah that’s the 3rd time you’ve been late this week

Hannah: Sorry I got a bit caught up with a uh, deer in the road situation

Mrs. King: I’ll excuse you this time, but next time is gonna be detention

Hannah: Understood

Mrs. King takes a pencil out of her pencil cup, she keeps them pointed up, and she accidentally pricks herself with one. Hannah sits in her seat and drops her stuff next to it, then reaches down and pulls out a pencil, a sheet of blank paper, and her laptop. She opens her laptop, like everyone else. She starts sketching on the paper, only looking up every few minutes to make sure Mrs. King knows she can hear her. A boy named Michael Cooper taps on Hannah’s shoulder from the right. He has nicely kept black hair that gives off picture day vibes. His eyes appear a dark blue similar to the ocean but nearing black

Michael (whispering): Whatcha drawing?

Hannah shows the drawing, it’s a drawing of Ghostface. The two pranks last night must’ve been stuck in her head

Michael (whispering): Cool, the killer from Stab

Hannah simply nods and goes back to drawing. We cut to Hannah walking past the lunch line and into the cafeteria, heading straight towards a single table and sits down. Then Jennifer sits next to her, dropping her food down on the table.

Jennifer: So about your costume

Hannah: I don’t need a costume-

Jennifer: It’s Halloween, Rose, you need a costume

Hannah: Fine, what are you going as?

Jennifer: The Pig, from the Saw movies, y’know?

Hannah: Ok, then I’ll just wear what you are, there were multiple

Jennifer: Yeah, I guess that works

Hannah: Y’think your mom is even gonna let you go?

Jennifer: I talked her into it, took a while but I eventually convinced her

Two boys named Charlie King and Jack Blair sit at the same table as Hannah and Jennifer. Charlie has the appearance of your stereotypical football player. His eyes are brown and his hair is black and short. Jack’s hair is light brown and curly and his eyes are hazel

Jack: What are you guys talking about?

Jennifer: That Halloween party

Charlie: Wait, is Hannah actually going?

Jennifer: I somehow convinced her

Hannah: You act like I don’t do anything

Jack: That’s because you don’t

Hannah rolls her eyes and looks at her phone and sees texts from her dad

Dad: [You sure you want to go?]

Hannah: [ye i wanan do somethign fun for once]

Dad: [Alright be careful]

Hannah: [i will dont worry]

Jennifer nudges Hannah’s shoulder and Hannah looks up at her. Jennifer slides Jack’s tray with a pizza slice, over to Hannah

Jack: Hey-

Jennifer: Can it, Jack

Hannah: I’m fine

Jennifer: Eat something, you rarely eat, even when we hang out you starve yourself

Hannah: Jen, I’m fine trust me

Jennifer: If you say so

Jennifer takes a bite of the pizza and drops it back onto the plate. Jack simply watches

Charlie: So what are we gonna do at this party?

Jennifer: Get drunk, duh

Charlie: Of course that’s your plan, Jennifer

Hannah: Y’all think Val will be there?

Jack: Valorie never goes to this kinda stuff, it’s a slim chance

Charlie: Why would you care if Val came, she’s kind of a bitch

Hannah: To you guys maybe, she’s cool with me

Jack: That’s cause y’all are both from Texas

Hannah: Or it’s because I’m not annoying like you

Jack: Hey!

Jennifer: Oh no

Charlie: What?

Jennifer points to Michael walking towards the table

Charlie: Once again, what?

Jennifer: You didn’t know? He’s a suspect for the assault of that one kid, Marcus

Charlie: The football player?

Michael sits next to Hannah, and Jennifer pulls her a bit farther from him

Michael: Hey guys

Charlie: Hey Mike

Michael: What’s their problem?

Jack: Jennifer’s scare-

Jennifer punches Jack’s shoulder and he yelps

Michael: You guys think I did it? He nearly fucking died, I wouldn’t do that

Jennifer: But you could’ve

Michael: Whatever, so how are you guys doing?

Charlie: Pretty good, you going to the party after school?

Michael: Of course, I’m guessing you all are too?

Charlie: Yeah, with how Jennifer’s acting she may not go since you are

Jennifer: Oh we’re going, Hannah is getting out to do something, for once

Hannah rolls her eyes and looks at Jennifer in a half annoyed half jokingly. The bell rings and Jennifer says bye to Hannah and she walks off. We cut to Hannah walking up to a big abandoned building, which doesn't look so abandoned with all the colorful lights and loud music. She knocks and the door slowly slides open. Hannah’s arm gets grabbed from behind, and she whips around and it’s Jennifer

Jennifer: What happened to the costume?

Hannah: I said no to that shit

Jennifer: You’ll stick out like a sore thumb, but alright

They walk in and there has to be around fifty people here. The inside is decorated with Halloween decorations and black lights.

Hannah: Holy shit

Jennifer: I know right? It’s fucking awesome!

A person in a Ghostface mask walks up to Hannah

Hannah (sarcastically): Ain’t that original?

Valorie (muffled): Oh shut up

They remove the mask and it’s Valorie Riley, the typical popular girl, with long semi-messy red-dyed hair. She has brown eyes that when in the right lighting look a little red

Hannah: Oh hey Val, didn't your uncle die to Ghostface or something?

Valorie: Yeah, but it doesn’t mean I have to hate the movies. I absolutely Love them, I even have the knife they used in the movies!

Jennifer: She gets it

Valorie: Didn’t expect to see you here, you’re not much of a partier

Jennifer: I convinced her

Valorie: Nice, didn’t convince her into a costume though, huh?

Jennifer: Unfortunately

Charlie, dressed as Michael Myers, bumps into Jennifer, and in reaction punches him

Charlie: Ow, Jen, calm down

Jennifer: Well don’t scare me like that then

Jennifer punches his shoulder again and he removes the mask

Jennifer: Where’s Jack?

Charlie: I think he’s on the dancefloor, embarrassing himself

Jennifer: Sounds like him

Valorie: Hey Charlie

Charlie: Oh great, you

Valorie: Just because I tripped you one time doesn’t mean you have to hate me forever

Jennifer: You two calm down, and make up, me and Hannah will go find where they’re keeping the beer

Hannah: Bye Val-

Jennifer pulls Hannah away and Valorie waves goodbye. Jennifer and Hannah eventually make it to where they’re giving out beer

Hannah: That’s a lot. Who is hosting this party again?

Jennifer: Nobody knows, he goes by Mr. Fade, he keeps his identity a secret

Hannah: That’s an edgy name if I’ve ever heard one

Jennifer: I can agree

Jennifer sneaks two full bottles and gives one to Hannah

Jennifer: Bottoms up, Rose

Hannah: I don’t know, I drove here and don’t wanna leave drunk-

The lights go out, and the music cuts, leaving everyone in darkness. There’s murmuring all around

Hannah: Jennifer?

Jennifer: Don’t worry, it’s just a power outage. It is an old building after- AH

Hannah: Jen!?

Jennifer (laughing): You fell for it!

Hannah: When the lights turn on, I am going to fucking punch you

Jennifer: Calm down there, Rose

Hannah feels a few drops of water fall on her face, which slowly falls with shorter time gaps

Hannah: Ugh, there’s a leak too

Jennifer: What’d you expect?

There’s a watery thud right behind Hannah and she yelps and backs into Jennifer and they fall. Then the lights kick back on, and they get back up

Jennifer: …

Hannah: What?

Hannah wipes her face and there’s blood

Hannah: What-

There’s laughing from the rafters and Hannah looks up, it’s Deion, Marcus’ twin brother. He looks oddly similar to RJ Cyler

Deion: Sorry! Don’t worry it’s just corn syrup! It wasn’t supposed to get you!

Hannah: Deion, I am going to kill you!

Jennifer: What a dick, right?

Hannah: Yeah

Jennifer: Sorry that happened, I’ll get you a towel

Hannah: Thanks

Jennifer walks off to find a towel then Hannah is grabbed and she turns around quickly. It’s Michael, in a very cheap and crappy Jason Voorhees costume

Hannah: Really? Ever heard of saying “Hi”?

Michael: Sorry, but I saw what happened and I got you a towel

Hannah: Oh, thanks

Michael: He was probably going for me since everyone thinks I nearly killed his brother

Hannah: That’d make sense

Michael: You don’t think that, do you?

Hannah: I don’t really care, it isn’t my drama

Michael: That’s something

The lights cut, but only the lights. The music gets louder too. Hannah gets sliced across the arm and Screams. She punches Michael in the face with a blind swing

Michael: Ow!

Hannah: Get away you psycho!

Michael: What-

We hear a slice and the sound of “corn syrup” hitting the ground. After a bit of sitting in the dark with the music turned up, the lights turn back on and Hannah turns around to see Jennfier with a towel.

Jennifer: I got-

Hannah: It’s just a cut, I’m fine

Jennifer Screams and Hannah turns around and sees Michael, on the floor covered in “corn syrup” with his throat slit, and his eyes stabbed out. Hannah Screams too

Another TITLE CARD fades in “Halløween Night
