ANNOUNCER: Good evening. It's that time again for 5 Minutes of Horror, the radio show that will chill your soul and rattle your minds. Sit back and don't relax.
MUSIC: EERIE THEME
ANNOUNCER: THEY CAME BY NIGHT!
MUSIC: OUT
NARRATOR: It was a dark gloomy evening around 8pm. Georgie and his girlfriend, Anna, are enjoying a book in the living room of their home.
SOUND: Lightening crashes!
GEORGIE: I didn’t realize a storm was coming tonight.
ANNA: At least we already lit the candles and are prepared in case the electricity goes out.
SOUND: Flipping of the books pages as the couple continues to read.
SOUND: creaking floorboards above their heads.
ANNA: (whisper) Did you hear that?
GEORGIE: What are you talking about?
ANNA: The floorboards.
GEORGIE: It’s all in your head doll, relax.
SOUND: Door SLAMS.
NARRATOR: Georgie and Anna jump from where they are sitting, the book goes flying into the air and the candle lights go out.
SOUND: Air whistling.
GEORGIE: (Whispering and voice cracks) Maybe there is something in the house.
ANNA: (Whispering) I told you… WAIT! Where are you going?!
NARRATOR: Georgie gets up to try and find matches to light a candle
GEORGIE: just hold on I’m looking for matches
ANNA: Good luck with that… what do you think it is?
GEORGIE: I don’t know, it’s an eerie night tonight.
SOUND: Rustling of papers and footsteps above
ANNA: (Whispering) There’s something upstairs!
GEORGIE: Let’s go.
ANNA: What are you crazy?!
GEORGIE: No, come on.
NARRATOR: Georgie and Anna head for the stairs unaware of what lies at the top.
MUSIC: Creepy and soft
SOUND: tip-toeing going up stairs – floorboards creek once they reach the top
MUSIC: OUT
SOUND: ultimate silence
NARRATOR: Then as Georgie and Anna turn around…
MUSIC: Psycho EEK EEK EEK EEK.
ANNA: (SCREAMS WITH TERROR)
NARRATOR: A monster comes face to face with them with the smell of decay and soil. What will happen?! Who will be left?
MUSIC: OUT
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love the dialogue between Georgie and Ann when they first heard the floorboards creek. I thought you could have added a little more when it came to the rising action. Otherwise I loved the idea of a monster upstairs, very creative.
I love George's calling of Anna 'doll'....very New York.
ReplyDeletejust realized that you didn't explain "they came by night." You used the singular.
ReplyDeleteI loved your story, I felt like I was really there. I would have liked it if there was a little more scary events that took place before they went upstairs. I did however really enjoy your music and sounds that really puts you in the story. Great job!
