Hey, so now I pretty much just write scripts.  And they suck at first, and then you go through and make things make sense.  It's a breakthrough.  Here's a stupid one I've been working on.

EXCITING OPENING

Jack:  Brace yourself, behind this door there’s something the likes of which you have never seen.  Rarely a man has seen it.

Dom:  Ok.  Is it just sitting back there waiting for someone to go through?

Jack: Well yeah but this is what we’re getting paid for.

Dom:  Let’s go over the brief one more time. tries to grab it from him

Jack:  It’s confidential, rook.  There’s nothing you need to know.

Dom:  My life’s on the line, I demand to know what we’re in for.

Jack:  If you know what we’re in for, you’re probably not going to want to go through that door.

Doorknob starts to jiggle.  Jack grabs it and pushes it closed

Walky talky starts going off

Dispatch: This is a code six Dom and Jack, we need you to return immediately.

Dom: steps away from door Jack puts his back into it

Jack:  We’re in too deep, can’t return.  Over.

Dispatch:  We have reason to believe the thing behind that door is not your ordinary demon.  

Dom:  What is it, then?

Dispatch:  It might be the devil lady.

Jack:  The devil lady?

Dom’s eyes go wide

He flashes back

He’s 12 years old and him and the other boys find a copy of the Necronomicon.  

Mom downstairs

Mom:  What are you boys doing up there?

Dom:  Just reading comic books. a stack of comics sits on the table, untouched

He’s got one nerdy blonde friend with glasses (Chris), and another fat friend (Darren)

Chris:  Can we just read comics?

Darren:  I have to take it back to my brother, or he’s going to beat me up.

Dom:  We have to at least open it.  

Book makes creepy groaning noise

Darren and Chris look at eachother terrified

Dom:  Cool!

He opens the cover a little, and wind blows his hair back.  

Darren tries to grab the book from him and it bites his hand, he starts crying

Dom:  Shut the fuck up!  

The wound immediately starts to change colors, becomes black

Darren starts convulsing, not even crying

Chris jumps to his feet and scrambles towards the door

Dom opens the book anyway

Snap back into real time.  The door is rocking.

Jack:  Now, it’s important we’re as professional as possible here.  We get in, I’ll subdue her, you get the picture.

Dom:  I have a bad feeling about this.

(there are some ghosts the camera doesn’t work on)

Dom pushes through door

Flashback again to the house

Mom:  Boys, is everything all right up there?

Dom:  Everything is fine!

Chris:  Are you crazy?  What do you think you’re doing?

He punches Chris in the face.  Chris runs down the stairs sobbing

Chris:  Mrs. Lampley!

Dom:  Reads the first page he flips to out loud Aminus parnivus mostey (change this later)

Chris screams downstairs.  Runs back up the stairs.  His nose looks broken, face is bleeding.

Chris:  Your mom...

Dom:  What?

Chris:  She’s not your mom anymore.

The devil lady cries loudly.  Jack (Lost Jack) slaps her across the face, as she rebounds back up Dom (Charlie from Lost) snaps a picture.  Jack takes her down, and she looks up directly into Dom’s eyes.

It's stupid, yes. But it at least almost makes sense.

Stupid movie I'm working on

EXCITING OPENING

Jack:  Brace yourself, behind this door there’s something the likes of which you have never seen.

Dom:  Ok.

Jack: Don’t be so casual about it.

Dom:  I’m not sure if I want to go through with it.

Jack:  What?

The devil lady cries loudly.  Jack (Lost Jack) slaps her across the face, as she rebounds back up Dom (Charlie from Lost) snaps a picture.  She knocks Jack onto his back, and Charlie bolts from the room.

He hears Jack scream from behind the door.  He grabs a fire poker stick, bolts into the room and the door is slammed right back in his face.

We cut to his hotel room in Translyvania, he drops the camera as he opens the door.  There’s obviously nothing chasing him, but he’s still obviously shaken.  He hears a flapping outside, and opens the window.  A guy is walking his dog and it gets away and runs off.  It’s scared of something.

He lights a cigarette, steps out onto the porch.  Pops a couple of pills.  Does a quick prayer in Latin.

He answers a phone call.  The voice is tough-guy super spy.

How does this guy live?

He packs up all of his crap into a suitcase and leaves as soon as the knocking subsides for a minute.  There’s a shadow person at the end of the hallway.

He goes into the darkroom, and drops the camera again.  The film has come unraveled, and we see his eyes Pee Wee Herman style as he scrambles in the dark.  Someone enters his apartment, and he backs against the darkroom wall.

Dom:  Jack?

No answer

He demonstrates how to mix the photo liquid, combines it all together.  

A girl shows up, “no no no this is a bad time no no no”.  She rings the doorbell

Dom hides, peaks through blinds

She’s waving up at him

He sees the black limo at the end of the block

Presses the button to let her up, she closes the door nonchalantly and a stake strikes against it.

Cut to him running down the stairs, he grabs her by the hand

“Dom!”

They rush up the stairs, she refuses to run.

Dom slams door

Kathy:  Dom!  What’s the big idea!

Dom:  Shhh.  they listen, there’s no sound.  She rolls her eyes at him.

Kathy:  You aren’t even ready.

Dom: Ready for what?

Kathy:  You don’t remember what today is?

Dom:  We have a lot more serious things to be worrying about right now.

Kathy:  More serious than your sons birthday?

window glass starts vibrating

Dom:  Get down!

He tackles her under the window, something fragile in her purse breaks

Kathy:  What are you doing?  she opens purse, a present is in there broken

Dom:  There’s an evil energy out here...

Kathy:  Are you on drugs, again, Dom?  

cut to next scene, she’s rummaging through his drawers

Dom:  I’m not on drugs, it’s not how it looks.  This isn’t about our shit.  

There’s a loud noise from outside, he grabs a gun from inside a book and closes the door and blocks it off

The picture in the darkroom has finished developing, it’s an evil demon.  It moves inside of the picture.

He points the gun at the door as the key rattles.  Jack stumbles through, beat up.  He shoots and misses.

Jack:  You left me there, you son of a bitch.

Dom:  I wasn’t ready for this, I thought you were dead.

Jack:  We’re both dead.

Dom:  I kind of had that feeling.

Jack uses his fingerprints to activate a special service on his phone
