These Special Days: A DDLC Sitcom

Chapter 4: Nightmare on Halloween Street

Summary:

On their first Halloween together, the gang wants to go trick or treating, but are stopped by a series of candy thefts committed by a masked figure. Can the gang stop this man and save their Halloween? There's only one way to find out.

Notes:

It's been a long time. I feel really bad for not posting a chapter in 5 months. I was really questioning whether I wanted to keep posting on Ao3, turn this story into a mod, or even keep writing this story at all. But after reading all the comments of the people who genuinely liked my work I was filled with such joy and knew I had to keep working. I promised you a Halloween Special, so you're getting a god damn Halloween Special!

This episode took me three months just to think of what I wanted to do. I didn't want just a regular episode with a Halloween setting, I wanted something truly Special. This went through several rewrites before finally landing on a concept I liked and wanted. This took days of research as I don't usually like this genre but I pushed through it to give you hopefully something everyone can enjoy. Let me know if you can count all the references in this.

Also if I don't post another episode in a month I want you guys to bully me into working on it. It should not take me this long and I am sorry for the wait.

On another note I have a Link Tree now if you want to follow me other places and yell at me more to keep working on episodes. I genuinely love writing and seeing people read and respond to my work so go give me a message in other places besides here if you want. https://linktr.ee/Ordan70

TEASER
                                        
                                        FADE IN:

INT. LITERATURE CLUB - DAY

The club room is decorated for Halloween. Paper plate
pumpkins and foam bats hang on the walls, cobwebs in the
corners, and there's a bowl of candy on the teachers desk. 

It's after the club meeting and OC is dressed as a
Ghostbuster, proton pack and all. He's sitting at a table,
reading manga, alone. A masked figure appears in the
doorway behind him. We see through the eyes of the figure
as it creeps up on OC. It's over his shoulder and growls
loudly, making OC scream and almost fall out of his seat.
The figure laughs and takes off its mask to reveal it was
MONIKA!
                          
                          OC
               
               Not cool, Monika.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Next time don't sit with your back
               to the door, it makes it far too
               tempting. Besides, I thought you
               ain't afraid of nothing.
                          
                          OC
               
               It's "I ain't afraid of no ghost"
               and that doesn't include
               werewolves.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               It's a really cool costume.
               Where'd you get it?
                          
                          OC
               
               The proton pack I made myself.

OC picks up his pack off the side of the table and puts it
on.
                          
                          OC
               
               Spent all month making sure the
               lights and effects worked how they
               should.
                     
                     (turning his back
                     to monika)
               
               Care to do the honors?
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Uhhh.
                          
                          OC
               
               And turn on the pack?
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Oh.

She flips a switch and the pack lights up. OC unholsters
the particle thrower and shows it off.
                          
                          OC
               
               Pretty cool, huh.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Yeah.
                          
                          OC
               
               As for the jumpsuit, I just got it
               online. They had a pretty limited
               supply so I got stuck with
               Venkman. I wanted Spengler.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               So what's Sayori dressed as?

SAYORI comes through the doorway with a sheet over her
head.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I'm a spoooooooky ghost.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Seems a little last minute.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I broke my Proton Pack.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               That makes sense.
                          
                          OC
               
               You don't even have it on right.

OC walks over and helps Sayori with her costume.

YURI and NATSUKI walk into the room. Natsuki is dressed in
a very bright pink dress and Yuri looks very similar to how
she normally dresses outside of school.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Sorry we're late.
                          
                          NATSUKI
                     
                     (clapping fist
                     together)
               
               We had to beat up some punks.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Or we had some studying to do.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Cute Minori costume, Natsuki.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Thank you.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               And Yuri you're...
                          
                          YURI
               
               I'm Libertina from Portrait of
               Markov.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Isn't that a little on the nose?

Yuri tenses up, grabbing her hair.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Why would you say that?
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Uhhh-
                     
                     (glances at
                     camera)
               
               Nothing, you look great.

Yuri loosens up.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Thank you.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               What are you supposed to be,
               Monika?

Monika is wearing a leather jacket, grey t-shirt, and
jeans.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Hold on.

She pulls out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on.
                          
                          MONIKA (CONT'D)
               
               Eh?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Fonzie?
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               I'm the Terminator!
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Ohhhh.
                          
                          YURI
               
               I never pegged you as the killer
               AI type.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Well I am... into it. I'm into it.
                          
                          OC (O.S.)
               
               There! Now it's on right.

Sayori now has her arms through sleeves and her head in a
hood. A lot better looking then just a sheet.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I can see!
                     
                     (spots candy
                     bowl)
               
               Ooo candy!

Sayori runs to grab some candy. Natsuki SWATS her hand
away.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               HEY! None of that bite sized crap.
               Tonight we eat like queens.

Natsuki pulls out a map and places it on the desk.
                          
                          NATSUKI (CONT'D)
               
               This is a map of all of Sunny
               Coast. Down at the bottom we have
               the poor people. Ya know, the
               people that give out bite sized
               Reese's, snack sized M&M's, Almond
               Joys. That kind of stuff.
               Meanwhile, up north we got the
               rich folk. I'm talking full sized
               candy bars.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               I've usually gotten that from any
               house I went too.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               You got lucky. This is scientific
               research.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Well I didn't expect to spend our
               first Halloween together Trick or
               Treating but I guess it's a
               fitting first outing.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Then what are we waiting for!?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Let's hit the streets.

They all run out of the classroom. Sayori comes back and
dumps the bowl of candy into her bag, then runs back out.

ACT 1

EXT. HADDONFIELD WAY - NIGHT

Here in the rich part of town, the gang are at a house,
they ring the doorbell. The door opens and they all say
"Trick or Treat". Candy is delivered and they run down the
steps to the next house. Sayori and Natsuki look in their
bag.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               You were soooo right! This is the
               best Halloween ever!
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               See. The science never lies.
                          
                          DEVIN (O.S.)
               
               Sayori?

Sayori looks up to see a man dressed as a Soldier. This man
is DEVIN.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Devin?

OC pops over Sayori's shoulder.
                          
                          OC
               
               Who's Devin?
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               Long time, no see.

Sayori and Devin hug.
                          
                          OC
               
               Who's Devin?
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               He and I used to go Trick or
               Treating after you went to bed at
               eight PM.

Natsuki glares at OC.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Dude.
                          
                          OC
               
               They were school nights.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               So what have you been up too?
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               Not much. Bit old to be Trick or
               Treating so I'm just making sure
               no one gets hurt.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Why would anyone get hurt?
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               Razor blades in candy, psychopaths
               with fireworks, thieving brats.
               Just want to make sure the
               neighborhood is safe tonight.

EXT. HADDONFIELD WAY ALLEY - NIGHT

A kid dressed as a COWBOY is walking through a dark
alleyway.

He bumps into someone waiting in the alley. The Cowboy
stops and looks up to see a MASKED FIGURE looming over him.
The figure pulls out a kitchen knife and grabs the kid.

EXT. HADDONFIELD WAY - SAME

Sayori is still talking to Devin when a scream echos
through the air. The gang and Devin jump into action and
run towards it.

EXT. HADDONFIELD WAY ALLEY - CONTINUOUS

They find the kid sitting on the ground terrified.
                          
                          YURI
               
               What happened?
                          
                          COWBOY
               
               Someone took my candy.

OC runs towards the other end of the alley to see if anyone
is there. Nothing.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               What did he look like?
                          
                          COWBOY
               
               He had a blue jumpsuit, a white
               mask, and a knife.

The kid shows Monika his cut Candy bag handle.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Wait a minute.

Yuri pulls out her phone and starts typing in it.
                          
                          YURI (CONT'D)
                     
                     (showing kid
                     phone)
               
               Did he look like this?
                          
                          COWBOY
               
               That's him.

Yuri shows the phone to the others. On it, a picture of
Micheal Myers
                          
                          YURI
               
               He's dressed Micheal Myers.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               The comedian?
                          
                          YURI
               
               No, the slasher villain.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               That makes more sense.

EXT. HADDONFIELD WAY STREET - SAME

OC is looking down the street. He's sees the Masked Figure
watching him from another Alley. The camera shows OC
looking at him, then cuts back to the man and he's gone.
                          
                          OC
               
               Wait, where'd he go? How did he do
               that? I never broke eye contact.

Yuri runs up to OC.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Did you see something?
                          
                          OC
               
               Yeah there was a guy. He just
               kinda vanished though.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Then he's still out there.

The rest of the gang has grouped up with them.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               We have to stop this guy from
               ruining a great holiday!
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               I thought you hated scary things.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Any day strangers give me free
               candy is a day worth celebrating.
                          
                          YURI
               
               We should split up and try to find
               this guy.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               I'm going with Yuri.
                          
                          OC
               
               Yeah I'll stick with the girl with
               Russian military training.
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               I'll go with Sayori.
                          
                          OC
               
               Actually, Devin. How about you go
               tell the police, and go the other
               way of Sayori, so you don't, ya
               know, run into her by accident.
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               I guess I can.
                          
                          OC
               
               Cool! Just don't go with her and
               we'll cover more ground.

Yuri nudges OC and whispers in his ear. 
                          
                          YURI
               
               Laying it on a bit thick, there.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Guess that leaves you and me,
               Monika.

The teams walk in opposite directions and search.

EXT. SHAMROCK DRIVE - NIGHT

Sayori and Monika are walking down the road, more chatting
then actual searching.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               So tell me more about Devin.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Oh I don't know him too well. We
               really just Trick or Treated
               together. After a while he started
               hanging out with other friends and
               spent Halloween watching scary
               movies. Those friends weren't the
               nicest either.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Well he certainly has OC riled up.

Some kids in Halloween masks bump into Monika while running
past. They have a Pumpkin Mask, Skeleton Mask, And Witch
Mask on.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               OC's always been the jealous type.
               He gets nervous I'm going to leave
               him for cooler boys.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Nonsense. He's the coolest boy in
               the club.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               For a while he was the only boy in
               the club.

They both chuckle. Behind them a man dressed as MICHEAL
MYERS holds up his knife and shouts at them.
                          
                          MICHEAL MYERS
               
               Hey!

They both turn around.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               IT'S HIM!
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Run!

They take off down the street, Micheal in pursuit. Sayori
trips on her sheet and falls. Monika runs back to help her
up. Micheal is getting closer. They run into an alley. It's
a dead end. They huddle in a corner as Micheal walks
closer.
                          
                          MICHEAL MYERS
               
               Hey, you dropped this.

Micheal holds out a wallet and takes his mask off. He's a
rather handsome young man. His name is JASON.
                          
                          MONIKA
                     
                     (taking the
                     wallet)
               
               Oh, my wallet. Thanks.
                          
                          JASON
               
               Yeah I saw you drop it. My name's
               Jason.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Monika. I didn't even notice. If I
               knew you were so... Not the killer
               I wouldn't have run away.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               We thought you were going to kill
               us!
                          
                          JASON
               
               Yeah I heard about that guy. I
               guess I should've gone with my
               namesake killer instead, tonight.
                          
                          MONIKA
                     
                     (laughing too
                     hard)
               
               Hahahaha! Name sake killer, good
               one.
                          
                          JASON
               
               I should get going.
                          
                          MONIKA
                     
                     (nervous
                     rambling)
               
               Okay, unless you want to come with
               us, which you can, but if you have
               other places to be that's
               understandable.
                          
                          JASON
               
               Yeah I have some friends with me.
                     
                     (starts to leave)
               
               See you around.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               I'll definitely see you around...
               Maybe.

Jason leaves. Sayori turns to Monika with a big grin on her
face.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               You have a crush on him.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               What!? No! Nononono no. Well he is
               pretty cute.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I knew it!

Monika checks her phone.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Come on, Yuri found another
               victim.

They both get up and leave.
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (singing)
               
               Monika likes a boy, Monika likes a
               boy.

EXT. CRYSTAL LANE - NIGHT

People dressed as Police Officers tape off the road. Fake
police lights aluminate the scene as Yuri, Natsuki, and OC
arrive. They're stopped by two people dressed as handsome
FBI Agents known as AGENT HENDRIX and AGENT PLANT
                          
                          AGENT HENDRIX
                     
                     (flashes fake fbi
                     badge)
               
               I'm agent Hendrix, this is agent
               Plant. We're overseeing this crime
               scene.
                          
                          YURI
               
               We've been following this crime
               all night. We're here to help in
               the investigation.
                          
                          AGENT PLANT
                     
                     (checks notepad)
               
               I don't see them on the list.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Your pad is blank. Let us in.
                          
                          AGENT HENDRIX
               
               She's got us there. Let 'em in.

Plant lifts up the tape and the gang walks in.

At the scene several people are taking pictures with
Polaroid cameras and cataloging evidence, or at least
pretending too. 
                          
                          YURI
               
               Who would attack outside of a 
               police costume party?
                          
                          OC
               
               Someone trying to show off?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Or someone really stupid.

Yuri goes and examines a trail of spilled candy. It appears
to end abruptly.

Natsuki and OC go and listens in on someone interviewing
the VICTIM.
                          
                          VICTIM
               
               And he had a machete and a ski
               mask on with blue triangles on the
               cheeks.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               So he's Jason now?
                          
                          OC
               
               I thought Jason had red triangles.

Yuri pokes her head up.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Jason has red triangles, but Roy
               Burns had blue. 
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Who's Roy Burns?
                          
                          YURI
               
               He was the killer in Part Five: A
               New Beginning, after Jason died.
               The fans didn't like it so they
               brought Jason back in part six.

Sayori and Monika arrive.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               What'd we miss?
                          
                          YURI
               
               This killer has deep knowledge of
               these slasher characters. He could
               be anywhere, and anyone.

EXT. ELM STREET ALLEYWAY - NIGHT

A TEEN girl is walking through a dark alley, talking
on the phone.
                          
                         TEEN
               
               Yeah I need you to drive me home.
               All these guys are creeps.

Finger Knives flash in front of the camera. A creepy laugh
echo's through the alley.
                          
                         TEEN (CONT'D)
               
               Hello?

The Masked Figure appears in the alleyway, dressed as
Freddy Krueger. The Teen screams and runs, The Masked
Figure gives chase. She hides in a box next to a dumpster.
The Figure walks slowly down the alley, scraping his knives
against the wall. The girl holds her breath as he passes
by. He walks past her, but turns and grabs her. The girl
panics and kicks him in the stomach. He drops her and she
starts to run again. He quickly catches up and grabs her
once more. He sticks his knives and to her candy bag,
spilling her red vines. He glares into her eyes.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Welcome to prime time, bitch!

He throws her into a discarded television by the dumpster.
He calmly picks up the candy and walks away.

END OF ACT 1
ACT 2

EXT. ELM STREET ALLEYWAY - NIGHT

The gang has arrived at the scene as rain begins to pour.
Natsuki is interviewing the girl.
up.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Freddy Krueger this time. Okay,
               thanks for your time.

Natsuki walks away. OC walks up next to her.
                          
                          OC
               
               Find out anything new?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Not really. Same M.O. same target,
               the candy.

They group up with Monika and Sayori.
                          
                          NATSUKI (CONT'D)
               
               The victim did get thrown into
               that TV over there.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Why would the killer do that?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Anger management issues maybe.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Did Jason seem angry to you?
                          
                          OC
               
               Is that that boy Sayori was
               talking about?
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               Maybe.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Stay away from him. He could still
               be the killer.
                          
                          YURI (O.S.)
               
               Natsuki! Come take a look at this!

Natsuki goes to help Yuri.

OC sits down on the ground.
                          
                          OC
                     
                     (sigh)
               
               All this crime solving got me
               beat.

He opens his candy bag and pulls out a large candy bar.
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (gasp)
               
               Is that a king size Crunch Bar?
                          
                          OC
               
               Yeah.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Can I have it?
                          
                          OC
               
               But it's my only one.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Pleeeeeease?
                          
                          OC
                     
                     (sigh)
               
               Fine.

OC hands Sayori the candy. She gleefully skips off with it.

Meanwhile, Yuri is looking at the scratch marks on the
wall, made by the finger knives. Natsuki is behind her.
                          
                          YURI
               
               This guy is a serious collector.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Actual finger knives?
                          
                          YURI
                     
                     (turning to face
                     natsuki)
               
               Seems like it.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               He's gotta be running out of
               costumes at this point.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Yes. So far he's had Halloween,
               Friday the Thirteenth, Now
               Nightmare on Elm Street.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               So next would be?

They hear a chainsaw revving, their eyes grow wide with
fear.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Texas Chainsaw!
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Texas Chainsaw!

They both turn to see it was CRAIG dressed as Ash Williams.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Oh you've gotta be kidding me!
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               Hi, Natsuki. Funny meeting you
               here.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               What do you want, Craig?
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               Oh nothing. I was just in the area
               and heard about the candy
               stealings, thought I'd stop by.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Yes, we happen to be investigating
               that, so unless you have anything
               to help us I suggest you leave.
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               I can do that, but then you
               wouldn't be getting this.

Craig holds up a small plastic card.
                          
                          YURI
               
               What is that?
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               A library card, dropped by your
               killer.

Natsuki reaches for the card. Craig pulls it away from her.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Give me that!
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               I want something in return, first.
                          
                          YURI
               
               What?
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               A kiss.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Never gonna happen, XXL. Aren't
               you a bit large to be Ash
               Williams? I mean I know Bruce
               Campbell ain't what he used to be,
               but still.
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               The size doesn't matter! All that
               matters is you're not getting this
               card unless I get a kiss.
                          
                          YURI
                     
                     (nudging natsuki)
               
               Go on then, Kiss the man.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               What?
                          
                          YURI
               
               We need this lead.

Natsuki rolls her eyes.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Fine.

She goes up to Craig, who is smugly perking out his lips
and closing his eyes. Natsuki quickly grabs the card out of
his hand and skips away.
                          
                          CRAIG
               
               HEY!
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Hail to the king, baby.

EXT. DERRY DRIVE - NIGHT

The rain is coming down hard. Sayori is running with her
candy bar. She trips on her sheet. She drops the bar and it
gets washed away with the rain water. She sees it and
chases after it. It's too late as it goes down a gutter.
She looks down into the gutter, worried. A pair of glowing
eyes illuminate in the darkness and steps into the light.
It's the Masked Figure, this time dressed as Pennywise.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Hi, Sayori.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Oh hey mister clown. Have you seen
               a candy bar?
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
                     
                     (holds up candy
                     bar)
               
               Is it this one, right here?
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (gasps)
               
               That's it! Can I have it back?
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               You seem like a nice girl, with
               lots of friends.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Yeah, they're busy investigating a
               crime. 
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Aw that's too bad. I bet they left
               you all alone.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Yeah. Uh how did you get in the
               sewer?
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Storm blew me away. Blew the whole
               circus away.
                          
                          OC (O.S.)
                     
                     (in the distance)
               
               Sayori!?
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I should get going.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Don't you want your candy bar
               back?
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Oh I almost forgot.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Here, take it.

Sayori reaches for the candy bar, candy bag in her other
hand. The Masked Figure quickly reaches for the bag. Sayori
screams and jumps away from the sewer, dropping the bag.
She crawls away crying as a hand reaches out from the sewer
and drags the bag down with it. OC runs to Sayori and holds
her.
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (distraught)
               
               The Sewer Clown took my candy!

The rest of the gang finds them.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               What happened?
                          
                          OC
               
               He's in the sewers. That's
               probably how he's getting around.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               He can't get away with this. It
               doesn't matter how many people on
              the street he hits, once he attacks
               one of our friends then it's war.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Then it's a good thing we have a
               name.

EXT. DERRY DRIVE - LATER

The gang is standing under an overpass out of the rain.
Yuri is on the phone with someone.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Uh huh, da. Okay thanks.
                     
                     (hangs up)
               
               That was my contact at the
               library. Our killer is one Victor
               Craven. Apparently in the last
               week he's checked out every
               slasher film they have and his dad
               works in the sewer.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Then let's go get this guy.
                          
                          OC
               
               Are we really going into the
               sewers for this? Can't we just
               tell someone who's job it is to
               get him?
                          
                          YURI
               
               He hurt Sayori. This is personal.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Yeah let's get him!
                          
                          OC
               
               Alright. Lead the way.

EXT. WOODSBORO SEWER GRATE - NIGHT

The grate is cracked open for them by a CONSTRUCTION
WORKER.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Thank you for your help, sir. My
               thanks also goes to the city for
               its help.
                          
                          CONSTRUCTION WORKER
               
               Don't thank me. I'm just dressed
               as The Village People.

He walks off with a soldier, police officer, cowboy, biker,
sailor, and Native American.

They climb into the sewers

INT. SEWERS - CONTINUOUS

They drop down into the dark and murky sewer, flashlights
at the ready.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Let's split up and search for
               clues.
                          
                          OC
               
               Someone had to say that tonight.

OC walks past and unholsters his Particle Thrower for
protection.
                          
                          OC (CONT'D)
               
               Sayori, you're with me.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Okay!

Sayori skips along with him. Yuri, Natsuki, and Monika go
the other way.

INT. SEWERS - NORTH SIDE - NIGHT

OC and Sayori cautiously search the maze of sewer pipes. OC
is in front and guarding Sayori, ready to blast anything
coming their way.
                          
                          OC
               
               So have you seen Devon anymore
               tonight?
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               You really want to talk about this
               now?
                          
                          OC
               
               I'm just asking.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Well no, I have not.
                          
                          OC
               
               Okay, But if you did-
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Look.

Sayori spins OC around to face her.
                          
                          SAYORI (CONT'D)
               
               We hung out on Halloweens every
               once and a while, but you were
               there with me for all the other
               times. All the hard times, all the
               sad times, all the happy times.
               You have nothing to worry about,
               I'm not leaving you.

OC smiles
                          
                          OC
               
               Thanks Sayori. I'm not leaving you
               either.

Sayori smiles. 

OC sees something behind her. She turns around to see
something glistening in a gutter. They examine it closer to
see its a piece of candy stuck to the side. The gutter
leads to the Cop Costume party.
                          
                          OC
               
               That's why he attacked the party.
               He new about the gutter.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               And he came back to collect the
               bag afterwards.

INT. SEWERS - SOUTH SIDE - SAME

Yuri, Natsuki, and Monika explore cautiously as well. They
pass a door with a broken lock.
                          
                          YURI
               
               This looks freshly broken.

The others turn to her as she opens the door.

INT. SEWERS - KILLERS ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Inside is what appears to be an unused locker room, filled
with a collection of weapons and costumes, all from various
slasher flicks.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               This guy is a serious collector.
                          
                          YURI
               
               These were all used in one of the
               attacks.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               But where's all the candy?
                          
                          YURI
               
               Good point. Look around.

They begin searching the room. Natsuki searches all the
lockers, each with a costume in it. Yuri digs through the
weapons laying on a table.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Guys, we have a problem.

They turn to her. She's opened an empty locker, clearly
having had something removed from it recently.
                          
                          NATSUKI (CONT'D)
               
               This one's missing.

INT. SEWERS - NORTH SIDE - SAME

OC and Sayori are still looking through the gutter when
they hear someone walking towards them. They panic and try
to hide in a corner.
                          
                          OC
                     
                     (whispers)
               
               Turn my pack off.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               How?
                          
                          OC
               
               Just flip the switch.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Which switch?
                          
                          OC
               
               The one on the bottom.

Sayori hits something and the pack falls off and hits the
ground with a thud, leaving OC with only the Particle
Thrower. The Masked Figure, dressed in a black cloak turns
its head towards the sound.
                          
                          OC
               
               Not that switch, the other one.

Just as the Figure turns the corner Sayori hits the switch
and the pack goes dark.

The Figure searches the area, a large sack hangs over his
shoulder. OC covers his mouth to try and not let his
breathing reveal them as the Figure stands directly in
front of them. The Figure turns away and leaves the same
way he came. They both start quietly running away.
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (quietly)
               
               But what about your pack?
                          
                          OC
               
               I'll make a new one.

INT. SEWERS - KILLERS ROOM - NIGHT

Yuri opens the door and lets Sayori and OC in.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               We saw him.
                          
                          OC
               
               He was caring the candy somewhere.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               That probably means he's ready to
               get out.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               We need to catch him before he
               disappears.
                          
                          YURI
               
               This may be our only chance, and I
               have a plan, and his phone number.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               How'd you get that?
                          
                          YURI
               
               My library insider found it.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               They seem to know everything.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Exactly, that's why you don't piss
               off anyone in the library.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               Well let's get this guy and get my
               candy back!
                          
                          YURI
               
               Alright, here's the plan.

INT. SEWERS - MAINTENANCE TUNNEL - NIGHT

Yuri is waiting alone with her phone and candy bag. She
calls the number, The Masked Figure picks up.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (O.C.)
                     
                     (over phone)
               
               Hello?
                          
                          YURI
               
               Is this the right number?
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (O.C.)
               
               I don't think it is.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Is this Victor Craven?

The figure pauses.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (O.C.)
               
               Who's asking?
                          
                          YURI
               
               Someone who's followed your work
               very closely.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (O.C.)
                     
                     (chuckles)
               
               So what do you want to know?
                          
                          YURI
               
               What's your favorite scary movie.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Uhh, I don't know.
                          
                          YURI
               
               You have to have a favorite. Based
               on that answer I'm sure you do. I
               think you saved the best for last.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (O.S.)
               
               So what if I did?

The Masked Figure is standing in a doorway, dressed as
Ghostface.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE (CONT'D)
                     
                     (brandishing
                     knife)
               
               Hello Sidney. Anything you want to
               say?

Yuri hangs up the phone and holds up her candy bag.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Come and get me.

The Masked Figure runs towards her, she runs away. She
navigates through the slowly tightening hallway, the Figure
getting closer to her. She runs past a door and SLAMS it
into him. The Figure falls onto his back.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
                     
                     (getting up)
               
               I'll tear your soul apart!

She leads him into an intersection of hallways. She stops
and awaits his attack.

He swings at her, she counters and knocks the knife out of
his hand. She grabs his arm and pins him against the wall.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Is that all you've got?
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Have you ever seen Scream?
                          
                          YURI
               
               Some of it.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Then I guess you wont see this
               twist coming.

A SECOND MASKED FIGURE grabs Yuri and pulls her off the
first. The second figure sets down the large sack of candy
seen earlier. They both get ready to fight Yuri.
                          
                          YURI
               
               NOW!

With that command, Sayori and Natsuki run out of the
darkness with Sayori's sheet and wrap it around both
Figures. Soon after, Monika and OC tie them up with what's
left of the proton pack.
                          
                          THE MASKED FIGURE
               
               Get this thing off us!
                          
                          YURI
               
               Not quite yet.

The gang crowd around the figures.
                          
                          YURI (CONT'D)
                     
                     (unmasking the
                     figure)
               
               Let's see your face, Victor
               Craven.

VICTOR CRAVEN has a dark sense of hate in his face.
                          
                          OC
               
               But who's the second one?
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               I bet it's Craig.
                          
                          MONIKA
                     
                     (crossing
                     fingers)
               
               Please don't be Jason.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Let's find out.

She pulls off the second mask to reveal it was DEVIN, white
paint still on his face. Everyone says his name in
surprise.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               HOW COULD YOU?
                          
                          DEVIN
               
               I'm sorry, Sayori. We got too old
               for Halloween, but still wanted
               the treats like when we were
               younger. So we hatched a plan
               based off our favorite films.
                          
                          VICTOR CRAVEN
               
               And we would have gotten away with
               it too, if it weren't for you
               meddling schoolgirls!

OC pokes his head out.
                          
                          OC
               
               Hey, I'm here too.
                          
                          VICTOR CRAVEN
               
               I was counting you too.

Seemingly out of nowhere the Construction Worker appears.
                          
                          CONSTRUCTION WORKER
               
               Good work, kids. We'll take it
               from here.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               I thought you weren't actually
               construction workers.
                          
                          CONSTRUCTION WORKER
               
               We're not. We're cops.

The rest of the Village People start arresting Vic and
Devin.

Vic sneakily grabs a pair of finger knives and cuts out of
the sheet in one swipe. He locks eyes with Yuri and lunges
at her. 

Yuri dodges the swing, grabs his head, and hits it against
the wall, rendering him unconscious.
                          
                          YURI
               
               Welcome to my world, bitch.

EXT. CRYSTAL LANE - NIGHT

Devin and Victor are being put into police cars as the gang
crawl out of the sewers. They watch as all the houses start
to turn off their lights.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I guess we didn't get to go trick
               or treating that much.
                          
                          MONIKA
               
               I'm sorry, maybe we can try again
               next year.
                          
                          SAYORI
               
               I think Devin was right. We're a
               little old for that.
                          
                          OC
               
               Hey, at least we solved our own
               Scooby Doo case. Not everyone's
               done that.
                          
                          NATSUKI
               
               Besides,
                     
                     (holds up sack of
                     candy)
               
               I don't think we could've gotten a
               bigger haul.
                          
                          SAYORI
                     
                     (gasps)
               
               Give me some!

She lunges for the bag. Everyone else gathers around to
grab some candy.
                                        
                                        FADE TO BLACK

END OF ACT 2
TAG

INT. LITERATURE CLUB - NIGHT

PROFESSOR FOSTER stumbles into the classroom, barely able
to walk. He's dressed as The Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who.
                          
                          FOSTER
               
               That's the last time I try square
               dancing at a faculty party.

He makes his way to desk and falls into the chair,
exhausted. He reaches for the candy bowl. His hands dance
around the bowl in panic as it's empty. He gets up and
looks in it.

END OF TAG

Notes:

Well wasn't that an unusual outing. I thought I was making a room for the girls, not a Scooby Doo episode. We did get to see more of the world which is always nice. I did work hard on it. Well as always feedback for this project is always appreciated.

Notes:

I hope you enjoyed! I'd love to hear any feedback on the project. I'm hoping to get weekly updates but don't quote me on that. Can't wait to post the next episode.
