"SUMMONING"

WRITTEN BY: DANIEL ROBINSON

FADE IN: INSIDE OF A CHURCH, A PRIEST READING A BOOK ABOUT A LEGENDARY GOD THAT MAAKES WISHES COME TRUE.

PRIESTAccording to this book, The God is real! Maybe I can figure out where the book to raise him is located! What’s this? The spellbook is located in this town but where?

He pulls out a map of the town and looks at it carefully.

PRIEST(happily surprised)

Ah Ha! The old abandoned house!

Priest leaves the church and heads for the old house.

EXT OLD HOUSE

The Priest looks at the house and seems eager to enter.

PRIESTThis is the place!

He enters the house.

INT OLD HOUSE

Priest looks around.

PRIESTNow to find the book!

He looks around and sees the book on the table next to a couch.

PRIEST(greedily)

With this book I will have all my dreams, my wishes! I have to look for the spell!

He quickly flips through some of the pages and sees a spell

PRIESTOk maybe this one!

He reads a spell aloud

PREIST(loudly)

I call to you! The mighty El-Diablo! Come to my aid and grant me the wishes I have! By the name of Rocka Demako

He waits but nothing happens! He tries again

PRIEST(frustrated)

I call to you! The mighty El-Diablo! Come to my aid and grant me the wishes I have! By the name of Rocka Demako

He waits again and still nothing happens.

PRIEST(angry)

Stupid book! Stupid me! Why is it I run to every legend just to find out that they are fake.

He Slams the book shut and throws it across the room. The book fly’s across the room and lands open.

PRIEST(sadly)

I should have known it was too good to be true! But why me? Why can’t I be happy? I spend all day inside of a church devoting my life to God! Maybe I should just go back to the church and live my life the way I have been.

The priest heads for the door with his head hung low. He tries to open the door but it won’t open.

PRIEST(surprised)

What is wrong with the door?

He let’s go of the door.

We see two guys arguing back and forth, around a crowd of people.

JEFFBecause man! This place is old and it has a legend!

JEFFHey! Earth to Tom! Is any one home?

Tom just stands there with no expression on his face.

JEFF (CONT)Hey can you hear me?

Tom pops out of his daze and looks at Jeff.

TOMYeah! I heard you!

JEFFThen what did I say?

TOMIt’s not important! Listen I got this idea and … well I think it would end our discussion of, if this place were haunted!

JEFFWhat do you have in mind?

TOMDo you scare easy or no?

JEFFHell no!

Tom looks back at the house, and then back at Jeff.

TOMWell we both could stay the night in this house!

JEFFHow does that solve anything?

TOMWell if this place is not haunted then we both would know! If it is then I’m sure that we both won’t be in there very long!

Jeff looks at the house and looks back at Tom.

JEFFSo when would you like to do this?

TOMHow about now?

Jeff glances around at the other people and looks at Tom.

JEFFOk! I’ll do this and it will prove that the house is haunted!

TOMFor our sake I hope it’s not!

Tom turns to the crowd and shouts.

TOM(very loudly)

I invite you all to attend the old scary house tomorrow night! Yell if you’ll be there!

The crowd yells really loud!

CUT TO:

JEFF

Jeff walks away from the crowd and heads to old lady Mertile’s house. He walks up the porch stairs and knocks on the door.

The door slowly opens and a face peeks around the door.

OLD LADY(scared)

Who are you? What do you want?

JEFF(politely)

My name is Jeff and I was wondering about the old house!

OLD LADY(happy)

Come inside!

CUT TO:

INT OLD LADY’S HOUSE

JEFF(politely)

This is a nice place!

OLD LADY(happily)

Thank you! Now what do you want to know?

JEFF(curiously)

What really happened in the house?

OLD LADYWhat house are you talking about?

JEFFThe old haunted house down the street!

OLD LADY(serious)

Oh! That house! That place needs to be knocked down all ready!

JEFFThat’s the place! What do you know about it?

OLD LADYIt was ten years ago, you know! I was taking flowers to my husband’s grave. It was late at night. I always brought him flowers.

CUT TO:

TEN YEARS EARLIER

The old lady is walking down the street near the old house with flowers in her hand.

CUT TO:

OLD LADY SITTING ON THE COUCH TALKING TO JEFF

OLD LADYI walked slowly because of my age, I didn’t want to fall and get hurt, so I walked slowly. Any way, I walked near the old house and heard a noise. I thought it sounded like someone in pain, there were some serious yelling coming from the house.

6.

Page 8: House of Curse - SimplyScripts€¦  · Web viewDon’t run your mouth to me man I’m your mother and I’m not in the mood! cut to: ext clubhouse. Tom walks out of the room and

JEFFSo what did you do?

OLD LADYSo I stopped and looked in the window. The priest was being pulled into a room by something.

JEFFWhat did it look like?

OLD LADYIt looked like some one dressed in a black robe! I didn’t see his face. It was only 10 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday!

JEFF(interested)

What did you do next?

The old lady starts crying.

OLD LADY(crying)

Well, I called the cops and they went in to the house to investigate. When they came back out, they said there was no one inside.

JEFFSo the priest was never found?

OLD LADYNo, I’m afraid he was never found.

JEFFThe cops found no blood or anything?

OLD LADYWell, I know they did but they said nothing pointed to a murder!

JEFFI think that’s strange! I mean a priest murdered, and no evidence to prove it!

OLD LADYThat’s what I said! But they just called me crazy! Me an old lady! I have lived in this town since I was born and they call me crazy!

JEFFWhat time is it?

OLD LADYOh it’s about seven thirty. Why?

JEFFI got to go! I got a big day tomorrow!

OLD LADYExcuse me! Why did you want to know about the old house anyway?

JEFFIt’s just that, I am going to spend the night in that house tomorrow!

OLD LADYIt would be wise for you to stay away from that house! I know what I saw and that place is haunted!

JEFFThere is nothing I can do about it! I ran my mouth to one of my friends and now, he wants us both to stay there!

OLD LADYWell maybe you should go and talk to your friend and get him to change his mind!

JEFFI wish I could!

OLD LADYWell if you have to go, then be careful!

Jeff stands up and walks to the door.

JEFFThank you for your time!

OLD LADYAny time young man! Just beware of the house!

Jeff stops and looks at the old lady.

JEFFBy the way I don’t think you are crazy!

The old lady smiles at Jeff. Jeff leaves the house.

Jeff runs to the door but before he can open it, Tom starts laughing.

JEFF(mad)

Tom takes off the sheet, and leaves the room!

JEFFStupid asshole! I’m not falling for any more of his tricks! Nope! No more stupid childish tricks!

Tom sits on the couch trying to figure things out.

TOM CONT(convinced)

All right I’ll go back down and bury him! All I have to say is I went upstairs and he must have left during the night!

Tom slowly makes his way back down to the basement! He stops and runs back to where his bag is and grabs his flashlight.

TOMSo because of the God the priest summoned, we have to pay the price?

JEFF’S GHOSTYeah, but please save us all from the torture of this house. You think it’s bad because you can not leave, try being me! I can not leave either!

Something keeps pulling his eyes over to the corner. Tom starts to go towards the corner, and a picture fly’s off the wall towards Tom.

TOM CONTThe other page I saw was over there some where.

Tom walks over to the chair very slowly!

TOM CONTI don’t need anything to come flying at me this time!

Tom looks under the chair. He sees a page and slowly reaches his arm under the chair and grabs the page.

TOM CONTDamn it! This one is not it either.

Tom walks around the first floor in and out of rooms looking and collecting the pages. After a while Tom goes back to the couch and sits down.

JIMMYWell if there is something in this house, then I can use you as a shield!

TOMYour sick!

JIMMYWhatever, just look for the two guys that were here a little while ago!

TOMThey are probably dead by now!

Jimmy pushes the gun into Tom’s back again.

TOM CONTI’m not joking Jimmy!

JIMMYPut a sock in it Tom! Hey guys! Where are you?

TOMJimmy I think we should go and check out the basement!

JIMMYNo! I think I’ll go check out the basement!

Tom and Jimmy walk down to the first floor and Jimmy pushes Tom down onto the couch!

CUT TO:

INT – LIVING ROOM

JIMMYDon’t move or when I get back I’ll shoot your ugly face!

Jimmy walks over to the basement door and opens it. He walks down it slowly.

INT - BASEMENT

Jimmy is looking around, he hears a noise and fires his gun.

JIMMYThere you are! And Tom said you were dead!

JEFF’S GHOSTNo one can hurt me any more!

JIMMYAre you crazy or something?

A dark figure walks closer to Jimmy. Jimmy starts firing his gun at the figure but the figure just keeps walking toward him. His gun becomes empty, making a clicking sound.

JIMMY CONTHelp, Help, Help!

CUT TO:

INT – LIVING ROOM

Tom is sitting on the couch waiting, he hears the gun shots go off, and now knows that Jimmy is dead.

TOMI tried to tell him, but no one listens to me! Now where the hell are those pages?

He gets up trying to figure out where the pages could be. He knows they are not upstairs.

TOM CONTThey have to be hear some where!

DONALDHey Tom!

TOMHow and why did you get in here?

DONALDWell, I came in through the window. As far as why well we all heard gun shots and I had seen Jimmy and his goons come in!

TOMDonald you have to get out of here the house is really haunted!

DONALDTom! Your acting weird, what kind of drugs have you been doing!

TOMDonald I’m not kidding with you!

DONALDSo have you found the pages yet?

Tom pauses for a moment.

TOMWhat pages?

DONALDThe ones with the spell to rid the house of this evil curse!

TOMHow do you know about that?

DONALDOh! I over heard you talking about it when I was on my way in.

Donald smiles at Tom.

TOMDonald? Don’t you think it is funny that I met you a few weeks ago? And now you seem to know everything about the house? You even tried to stop me from coming here!

DONALDDon’t be silly Tom if I was a demon or something I would have killed you two weeks ago. Right?

TOMSo who are you really?

DONALDFine! You got me! I’m a pissed off God! First it was that stupid priest then it was the old lady all of them trying to make everyone think this place is haunted.

TOMBut it is!

DONALDNo! I want to live here now! Why does every one try and stop me? First it was your little Jeff friend. He died quickly I assure you that!

54.

TOMWhy the entire killing then?

DONALDI had to keep everyone away!

TOMWhy can’t I get out then?

DONALDYou were the only one who could send me back to where I once lived. Take a seat instead of standing and let’s chat a little more!

TOMI don’t want to chat any more!

DONALDOh don’t be a fucking crybaby! I put up with your shit long enough!

Tom sits down and so does Donald.

DONALD CONTYou see I come from a place worse then your nightmares. I am called here and now I’m stuck here! I don’t want to go back.

TOMWhat kind of God are you?

DONALDWell that dumbass priest thought I was a wishing God, Like a genie or something! I’m a God of torture and death. Once I’m called, I must kill every one and everything in my way.

TOMAm I going to die?

DONALDOf course you are! But not yet!

TOMJust do it now and get it over with!

DONALDNo! Listen, hears the deal! I will give you four more hours to find the one page you need to end the curse! When I return and you have not found it and read it,

55.

Page 57: House of Curse - SimplyScripts€¦  · Web viewDon’t run your mouth to me man I’m your mother and I’m not in the mood! cut to: ext clubhouse. Tom walks out of the room and

then I will kill you, but it will have to be a slow death ok?

TOMSo I have four hours to do all this in?

DONALDWell I would give you more time but Sun up is in four hours. TA TA.

Donald disappears and Tom is now faced with a huge problem.

TOMFour hours seems like a lot of time but where can that page be?

Tom continues his search for the page. He looked every where and still not the right page. He sits down and remembered the pages he found before.

TOM CONTIn these pages has got to be the right spell.

He reads through each and every one of the pages, but none of them were the right page. Tom looks at the clock and sees that he has half an hour left. He sits down on to the couch and lights up a smoke. He leans back and closes his eyes. When he opens his eyes he sees a page sitting on a rafter near the ceiling.

TOM CONTOf course!

Tom looks for a broom or something. He knocks it down and grabs it up.

TOM CONTThis has to be it! It says to undo a curse, this has to be the right one!

Tom sits down to read it over.

TOM CONTOk so all I have to do is Say this aloud three times and it should work!

Tom decides that one more smoke and he will do the spell. He lights up his last smoke. After he finishes he stands up, and grabs the paper.

TOM CONTWell I have to do this!

DONALDHello, Tom!

TOMYou may be behind me but I will stop this once and for all!

DONALDSilly mortal! You think a spell will send me back?

TOM

Yes!

DONALDThink again!

TOMI will send you back to the pits of hell! Where you belong!

DONALDI would love to see you try!

TOMJust give me a second!

Tom is looking for the beginning of the spell.

TOM CONTOne question!

DONALDFire away!

TOMWhy did you kill my brother?

DONALDI’m afraid you are going to have to be a little more specific!

TOMFred! Why did you kill Fred?

DONALDHe asked me to! You see when some one gets all lonely inside and feels like their world is gone, then they want to die!

TOMWell I know damn well, that he did not want to die!

57.

Page 59: House of Curse - SimplyScripts€¦  · Web viewDon’t run your mouth to me man I’m your mother and I’m not in the mood! cut to: ext clubhouse. Tom walks out of the room and

DONALDI’m getting tired! Are you going to say your precious little spell?

Tom starts to read the spell out loud!

TOMThe covering curse will wallow and cease, it is time to set this curse to piece.

Donald grabs his head and shouts.

DONALDNo No No!

TOMThe covering curse will wallow and cease, it is time to set this curse to peace.

Donald is shaking very badly.

DONALDTom Just stop now!

TOMThe covering curse will wallow and cease, it is time to set this curse to peace.

Donald disappears. The front door opens and Tom steps toward the door!

TOMCan it be over?

Tom sits down and takes a deep breath.

TOM CONTIt’s really over! I can now leave the house!

Tom goes to leave and remembers his brother’s duffel bag.

TOM CONTI can’t forget to grab that!

Tom walks over to grab the duffel bag when he sees Fred sitting on the couch.

TOMHey bro! You’re free at last!

JEFF’S GHOSTI’m not free yet! Maybe it takes a few!

TOMWell I did what you said to do!

JEFF’S GHOSTI know! But I’m still here and that means, I’m stuck!

TOMIf you want, I could come and visit you as often as you like!

JEFF’S GHOSTNo! I don’t want to be here! I want to go to heaven!

TOMI don’t know what to say!

JEFF’S GHOSTJust go all ready! Be gone!

Tom grabs the duffel bag and heads towards the door.

TOMBye Jeff!

Tom steps outside the door. The crowd cheers. Tom raises his hands in victory. As Tom puts his hands down, something grabs him and pulls him back in. The door slams shut with a loud bang, the crowd watches in horror.

FADE TO:

BLACK

The End
