SCENE #16 LAURIE'S WORST NIGHTMARE
FADE IN:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL -
LAURIE'S ROOM - NIGHT - BEGINNING TO STORM:
It begins with a black screen and a LOUD CRACK of THUNDER
while still black, followed with the SOUND of a NEWS
ALERT beginning broadcast.
It then FADES IN showing the TV in a dark hospital room
that is suddenly lit up by a bright flash of lightning
and another LOUD CRACK of THUNDER, while the NEWS REPORT
continues playing.
The CAMERA then begins to PAN towards the subject in the
bed at a pace that doesn’t show them until the last line
of the NEWS REPORT.
NEWS REPORTER
We interrupt this program to bring
you an important news alert. We
have been informed by our local
authorities that former local
resident and known psychopath,
Michael Myers who was believed to
have been killed, late last night.
Is still alive and on the loose. We
have also been informed, that
another local resident named Jacob
Myers Logan is feared to be acting
as a copycat to Michael. The two
are believed to have murdered
at least 5 people already. We have
also received this image from local
authorities, and that if you are to
see either of these two men, you
are ordered to contact the police
immediately and to not take actions
into your own hands. These two are
considered extremely dangerous
individuals. If we receive any
further information on this growing
situation, we will bring them to
you, as soon as they come in.
LAURIE laying in her bed in the fetal position, wearing
a plain white cotton outfit with her back turned from
the door, showing her emotionless face.
She then in a zombie like state gets out of her bed and
begins lumbering towards the door.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL - HALLWAY -
VERY EMPTY - NIGHT - STORMING:
LAURIE lumbers out, into a deserted hallway, 4 or 5
steps down the hall as the SHOT FOLLOWS her.
Suddenly DEPUTY ANDREWS wraps his arms gently around
LAURIE, who freaks out and begins struggling trying to,
get away.
LAURIE
NO! NO! Let me go! I need to get
out of here! Let Me Go!
DEPUTY ANDREWS
LAURIE stop! We are here to protect
you, there is nothing to worry about.
I promise you! We are right here!
DEPUTY ANDREWS finishes his last line, and SHERRIFF
BRACKETT comes rushing in, who takes over the DEPUTY's
position, wrapping his arms around LAURIE, escorting
her towards her room, while scolding DEPUTY ANDREWS.
LAURIE
He's coming for me!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
I thought I said not to say anything
to her, until I got here!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT and LAURIE enter her room.
DEPUTY SCHLAGEL
She saw it on the news Sherriff!
There was nothing we could do.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT then returns out of the room without
LAURIE, greeted by DEPUTY SCHLAGEL.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Yeah! I guess news travels fast.
UMMM! Where's DEPUTY BOWERS? I
didn’t see him.
DEPUTY SCHLAGEL
Last I seen or heard from him, was
at the hospital. Watching the video
of that woman’s murder. Why you ask
Sherriff?
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Damn it! Yeah, I sent him here after
he reported BECKY's murder. Michael
must have got him. Damn it! Shit!
These sons of bitches are driving me
crazy. We're spread so damn thin, as
it is.
DEPUTY SCHLAGEL
Do you want me? To get ahold of
DEPUTY BOWERS, wife? Sir!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
No I don't! He might have got jammed
up, in something else.
DEPUTY SCHLAGEL
You’re the boss!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Right now, I kind of wish I wasn’t!
I'm going to go, talk to Laurie.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT pats DEPUTY SCHLAGEL on the shoulder
and heads into LAURIE's room.
CUT TO:
(INT.) HADDONFIELD - PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL -
LAURIE'S ROOM - DARK - NIGHT - STORMING:
SHERRIFF BRACKETT enters LAURIE's room as she is
sitting on the edge of her bed, facing the window.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT pulls up a small chair sitting in her
view, as she wipes a tear.
LAURIE
Is it really true? Michael's still
alive!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Yes Laurie, it is!
LAURIE
It feels too much like a bad dream!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Well it's very real LAURIE. I also
have some news that's going to shock
you!
LAURIE
I don't think it can get much
fucking worse!
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Well Jacob Logan! The guy, that is
imitating your brother. Laurie, he
is also your brother!
LAURIE
NO! How is that possible?
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
Well Laurie, your father had an
affair with this man’s mother,
just before your father died. She
hid it from everyone, for fear of
the repercussions and the attention.
LAURIE remains silent looking very worried.
SHERRIFF BRACKETT
It will be ok Laurie, you don't
need to worry. There will be an
officer here, the rest of the night.
I just wanted to come see how you
was doing. You should try to get
some rest, the Deputy will come
get you if anything happens. And
Laurie or should I say Angel, I'm
sorry for not telling you, that
Michael was your brother, and
hiding it for so long. Just thought
it was best for you. I'm Sorry!
LAURIE
It's OK. I think I'm past that now!
I'm sorry I couldn’t protect Annie!
