INT. CLASSROOM - LATER THAT DAY

Students file into the class, sit in their assigned seats.

KERI stands behind a desk at the head of the class.

THE BELL RINGS

KERI

Good morning, class. Mr. Elliot's

out sick this week...turns out it was

his appendix.

The students ad-lib "COOL," "ALRIGHT," "YEAH."

KERI (cont'd)

Your compassion is overwhelming. But

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that

he gave me the list of students who will

be giving their oral reports today.

The students groan.

KERI (cont'd)

I thought so. First up is Sarah Locke.

Sarah crosses to the podium at the head of the class,

stands behind it. She reads off a stack of index cards in

front of her...

SARAH

(rapidly)

"The Haddonfield Murders" by Pamela

Whittington. A totally gruesome

depiction of serial killer Michael

Meyers' path of destruction in a small

Illinois town.

Keri sits up in her chair, uneasy. Of all the books...

During the following, we INTERCUT between the described

flashbacks and Keri, as she struggles to maintain her

composure as the memories come flooding back --

SARAH (cont'd)

The riveting tale begins with young

Meyers repeatedly stabbing his older

sister to death on Halloween night in

1963.

BEGIN FLASHBACK.

During the previous dialogue we see the correlating scene from

"Halloween" where young Michael Meyers in clown attire murders

his sister.

SARAH (OS) (cont'd)

Years later Meyers escaped from Dr.

Loomis' care at Smith's Grove Institution

and returned home to Haddonfield.

During the previous dialogue we once again see the

correlating scene from "Halloween" where Michael escapes from

outside the gates of Smith's Grove in Dr. Loomis' station

wagon.

SARAH (OS) (cont'd)

It was there that he stalked Laurie

Strode...Meyers' younger sister...

We see the correlating scene from "Halloween" where the

Shape watches Laurie Strode through the screen door as she

approaches the old Meyers' house.

SARAH (OS) (cont'd)

What followed was a night of terror

as Michael Meyers slaughtered one

innocent victim after another.

Strangled some... stabbed others...

in the end it was a Halloween of

unprecedented carnage.

We see a MONTAGE of murders from "Halloween" and

"Halloween II."

END OF FLASHBACK.

ON Keri, eyes swelling, struggling to keep the lid on her

emotions...

SARAH (cont'd)

Ironically, Laurie survived that night,

but was said to have died in a car

accident years later... leaving behind

her only daughter, Jamie.

BEGIN FLASHBACK.

During the previous dialogue, we see footage of young Jamie

from "Halloween IV."

SARAH (cont'd)

The book maintains there is truth to

the rumor that Laurie Strode is actually

alive and well and living under a new

identity. Claiming that she gave up

her daughter for adoption to protect the

eight-year- old from her psychotic Uncle.

Bad idea. Last Halloween, Jamie's

mutilated body was found in a barn just

outside of Haddonfield.

We see Jamie's demise as depicted in "Halloween VI."

END FLASHBACK.

ON Keri, unable to stand it any longer. She grabs her bag,

heads for the door.

KERI

Excuse me...

Keri darts out of the classroom.

The students sit in stunned silence, baffled. Sarah collects

her cards and heads back to her seat...

SARAH (cont'd)

That was like so rude.

INT. GIRLS' RESTROOM - MINUTES LATER

Keri bursts through the bathroom door...locks herself inside

an empty stall...drops to her knees, barely making it over

the toilet before tossing up her breakfast.
