Untitled Script Excerpt For short horror film

Hey folks,

Just started working on a short horror script with another forum member and we thought we'd see what you guys thought about the first couple of scenes. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

FADE IN:

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

We are on a dark, paved road with a few houses scattered here
and there along it's length. Two hitch-hikers are standing
along the side of the road, sharing a smoke and discussing the
general absence of a ride.
Perhaps one or two vehicles go by but nobody is interested in stopping. The hitch-hikers have
with them some basic camping gear that's strapped to their
backs.

TOM
Why not ?

MICHAEL
I'm not trudging back across no goddamn
field to sleep in a fucking crackhouse, I
mean did you see that place ?

TOM
We don't have to go inside, we can sleep out
in the field

MICHAEL
And get shot by some drunken rednecks no
thank you

TOM
Don't be a fucking pussy

MICHAEL
Excuse me ?

TOM
Don't be a fucking pussy, besides, I'm
freezing my goddamn ass off

MICHAEL tosses the cigarette into a ditch and looks around.
He's hoping someone will still stop.

TOM(CONT)
Well ?

MICHAEL
Fine, we'll go back to Bates Motel, but if
some guy with a chainsaw pops out of the
woods i'm leaving your ass there

TOM
Fine

MICHAEL
(resigned)
Let's go

CUT TO:

EXT. FIELD - NIGHT - MOMENTS LATER

MICHAEL and TOM are strolling across the field, waving
flashlights back and forth. MICHAEL is particularly nervous but
TOM seems to see this as an adventure of sorts.

MICHAEL
I don't like this

TOM
You sound like my ex

MICHAEL
During sex right ?

TOM
Asshole, you've watched one too many of
those stupid horror movies that's your
problem

MICHAEL
Horror movies can teach us a lot

TOM
Like what ?

MICHAEL
Like don't go into a dark field at night
without a machete

TOM
I have a lighter

MICHAEL
Well that's great if we wanna singe the
killers eyebrows

TOM
How about you stop whining
(indicates with the flashlight)
There's the house

MICHAEL
I thought we weren't going in ?

TOM
We're not, we're camping outside

MICHAEL drops his stuff.

MICHAEL
Fine, we stop here

TOM
(dropping his pack)
You know this little road trip was your idea
not mine

MICHAEL unrolls a sleeping bag, and flops down, lighting
another cigarette. TOM stands there looking around.

MICHAEL
Looking for the axe wielding psycho ?

TOM
I heard something

MICHAEL
Probably a bear

TOM
A bear in this area ?

MICHAEL
Well okay, a deer ?

TOM
I think it came from the house

MICHAEL
Well maybe, big fucking deal, I'm sure
whatever it is doesn't need us poking our
noses around

TOM
I'm gonna go check it out
(beat)
You coming ?

MICHAEL
Fuck no

TOM
Oh c'mon for God sake

MICHAEL
No

TOM
Fine, you wait here and wait for the bears
and the deers

TOM walks off whistling.

So far, so good. I hope.
