TITLE: OCTOBER 31, 1988

 

FADE IN:

 

CLOSE TO:

 

PLASTIC TOY BOAT, floating in dark RED WATER.

 

SOFT HUMMING is heard out of scene.

 

A girl.

 

FADE OUT:

 

A girl laying in a BATHTUB FULL OF RED WATER.

 

We can't see her face. Only the back of her LONG, WET BLONDE HAIR and her arms resting out of the tub.

 

CUT-TO:

 

The girl's feet.

 

Stepping onto the shag by the tub.

 

Red water STAINING the carpet under her feet.

 

CUT-TO:

 

The door of a house opening.

 

The girl walks out, in nothing but a WHITE NIGHTGOWN AND AN OVERCOAT, putting her hood up.

 

Behind her, we see what seems to be a FEMALE HAND, DETACHED FROM ITS BODY.

 

What was going on? 

 

This GIRL is a SERIAL KILLER.

 

She MURDERED her entire family - her mother, brother, and three sisters.

 

SMASH-CUT-TO:

 

Sidewalk.

 

RED COLORED WATER flows down the curbs of the streets. 

 

A PAPER BOAT follows along with it, turning red. 

 

LAUGHTER.

 

Little kids follow the boat, all dressed in costumes. 

 

The boat comes to a stop at bare feet. The little kids gasp and come to a stop.

 

They look up to see a GIRL, which we know is from the start of the scene.

 

She was hiding her face. Only her hair stuck out. 

 

She bends over and hands the paper boat to one of the kids. 

 

LITTLE KID; 

(Scared, stutters)

T-t-thank you.

 

The kids run off, SCREAMING.

 

The GIRL starts to walk down the road. 

 

A BARREL full of colored water is dumped out by a PARENT.

 

Other little kids put paper boats in the water as it flows down the sidewalk. 

 

This is a tradition for the town of Ruthin, Wales.
