A: Oh no! The lights went out! Honey can
you light a candle?
B: Sure. What do we do now?
A: Well, we can just talk, you know, like we
used to.Hmm... I know! I’ll tell you a
scary story! It happened to me and my
dad when I was a teenager... (fade out -
fade in new s I was living with my father
at the time, when he received a phone
call. Hmm... I know! I’ll tell you a scary story! It hap-
pened to me and my dad when I was a teenager...
(fade out - fade in new scene) I was living with

It happened to me and my dad when I
was a teenager... (fade out - fade in new
scene) I was living with my father at the
time, when he received a phone call.
I was living with my father at the time, when he
received a phone call.
Father: (phone rings) Hello? Yes this is him.
I see, I’m sorry to hear that. Ok no
problem. I’ll be there shortly. (hang up
the phone) Pack some clothes Tony, my
great aunt is very ill and no one in the
family wants to take care of her. We are
going to stay at her house for a few days.
Kid: Aunt? What aunt? I never knew you had
a great aunt!
Father: Well, the family doesn’t talk about her or
get near her, for that matter.
Kid: Why is that?
Father: Come on, we have to go.
B: So we arrived at this old house on the
outskirts of our town. There was almost
no one around and the house had an
eerie look to it. Once inside the house,
we walked to her room and I was sur-
prised to find my dad’s great aunt in a
wheelchair, yelling at someone, but we
were alone in the room.
Father: Hi, aunt Ursula! This is my son Tony.
Ursula: Why have you come? Why are you
here? Don’t you know it isn’t safe? My
time is near, he is coming for me.
Kid: Who is coming for you?
Ursula: The prince of darkness! The lord of
the underworld, the tempter, the old ser-
pent.
Father: Come on, aunt Ursula let’s lay you
down. You need to get some rest. Tony,
help me lay her down.
B: That night, we slept in one of the 12
rooms of that big old mansion. The trees
outside seemed to come alive and their
shadows formed ghoulish shapes on my
bed. All of a sudden, we heard scream-
ing.
Ursula: (muffled distant screaming, kid
runs towards the sounds - her volume
increases) Ahhh! Get off me beast! I
won’t let you take me! Ahhh!
Kid: Dad! Dad! Something is attacking aunt
Ursula!
Ursula: Take your claws off me! Go back
to the underworld you demon! I shall be
judged before you can take me!
Father: The door is jammed! Stand back! (kicks
the door down) Aunt Ursula! Where are
you?
Kid: Over here! (heavy breathing fx)
