Opening credits roll. Fade to a shot of the theater. Clapping can be be heard. Fade to a shot of the stage. A group of around fifteen people sit on home made pews, watching Paul The Monk who is talking to them. He is reciting the speech made forty two years previously. Beside the stage, The Return is watching carefully, barely blinking.

Paul The Monk: ...No, only a few people will learn today...maybe the rest of you could begin to understand when you...see.

Beside the stage, The Return speaks very quietly.

The Return: Kill them...

Paul The Monk: Let the retribution...begin.

Unlike in the real event back in 1967, one of the actors stands up to face Paul The Monk. It is a middle aged man wearing a suit. The actor looks very nervous.

Man: Now, listen here Mr. Monk!

Paul pulls out his sharpened crucifix and drives it into the man's throat. As the sharpened wooden dagger pierces through his skin his eyes widen with terror at it being real. At that point, Dante and Miss Macabre stand up in the crowd on stage and begin killing other people. Blood flies off the stage to the sound of the actor's screaming but the audience merely watch, occasionally awing at what they believe is just very realistic death scenes.

The Return: Remember...let the back row run out of the church.

The slaughter on stage is very different to that from the real incident. The actors are being taken down left right and center, very few of them are escaping.

The Return: Paul...remember to shout at Dante when he...okay now!

Dante has just crack one of the actor's neck. Paul says nothing.

The Return: Now!

He still does not do as he is told, all three of them continue killing. On the other side of the stage, Fortunato, the child actors and Papillon Noir look on.

Fortunato: That looks so real...

Papillon Noir: I know. Way better than rehearsals.

Fortunato: No. I mean, it looks too real.

Papillon Noir: What are you suggesting?

Fortunato: I don't know...but I know that looks too real.

Papillon Noir: Doesn't matter now! It's our part!

On stage, some of the people from the "church" have run outside. Miss Macabre follows them. Fortunato walks on stage in his lollipop man uniform with the children and Papillon Noir. He guides them along the "road" on stage. Miss Macabre runs up to him.

The Return: Kill him.

She taps him on the shoulder and he says his line.

Fortunato: Excuse me, can I help you?

She laughs and holds the crucifix up to the air. Fortunato's eyes are fully of worry, and at the last second where she drives the crucifx down he swings the large sign he is holding. It collides with her side, knocking her off the stage. Many of the audience members grumble with uncertainty. The Return's eyes widen.

The Return: KILL HIM!

Across the stage, Dante and Paul have just finished killing all of the actors. They look at each other, then directly at the audience. Dante then turns to The Return and smiles slightly. The Return gasps.

The Return: No...NO!

He flicks through his note book and tries saying a few spells but it is too late, and Paul The Monk and Dante's Inferno have dived off the stage. A few uneasy audience members stand and try to leave, but as they reach the door out of the theater it is locked. Meanwhile, on the stage, Fortunato swing the large sign at Miss Macabre again as she runs at him, screaming. He misses this time, but it throws her off, making the crucifix stab his arm. He yells in pain and kicks her away.

Papillon Noir: But...there isn't a blood pack there...oh my God!

Fortunato, clutching his arm, runs off stage right. Papillon Noir looks down at Miss Macabre, who has a small trickle of blood down her face from where she hit the floor. Miss Macabre winks at Papillon Noir as she stands up. Papillon walks backwards in fear and shock. She shouts to the audience as Miss Macabre runs at her.

Papillon Noir: This isn't in the play! They're killing us!

She dives out of the way as Miss Macabre rushes the sharp crucifix at her and runs off the stage. At hearing her warning, the audience members suddenly panic and all stand up, running for the door as well. As they do, Dante and Paul begin killing them as well. Paul drives his cross into a young man's back, who yells and falls to the floor. Dante has abandoned his cross and is instead snapping people's necks and limbs as they try and run away. One of the men banging on the door out yells.

Man: Open the door! We need to get out!

A quick cut to the front room of the theater shows blood stains all over the walls and by the confectionery stand, bodies littering the floor. The sound of footsteps and a deep moan can be heard, but other than that, all is quiet. Cut back to inside the room. Miss Macabre chases Papillon Noir off stage. Paul continues stabbing whilst Dante calmly sniffs the air. He smiles and runs to a small door beside the stage.

The large crowd of people manage to break the huge door out of the room down, but as they do they are met by a terrible sight. They are met by another huge crowd, one made up entirely of zombies with the whites of their eyes a deep purple. Immediately, they begin attacking the audience members who try and retreat. They dig their teeth into the throats of many whilst Paul picks of others at the back of the crowd. The room is in chaos. Just before he enter the small door, Dante turns and sees the zombies.

Dante: Good boys...

He runs into the small door and is back stage. Somewhere else back stage he hears Miss Macabre giggle with glee and Papillon Noir scream. He smiles slightly, then runs through the corridor to The Return's room. He laughs and knocks on the door, mockingly.

Dante: Knock knock...

He slowly opens the door but is shocked to see nobody there. His eyebrows raise in confusion just as a large piece of wood smashes against and breaks on his head. He falls to the floor. The Return is stands behind him and throws what's left of the plank to the floor.

The Return: Who's there?

Closing credits roll.
