Listen to a couple of the stories from The Haunted Hour at
http://www.radiolovers.com/pages/hauntinghour.htm.
Then write the first five minutes of a radio play entitled, They Came by Night, a haunted tale incorporating the elements of plot but stop at your climax. DO NOT include the falling action and resolution.
Your post should be between 300 and 500 words. Make sure you mention sound effects and the kind of music you would use in addition to the narration. It is optional to include dialog. Go back to the presentation in the Week 11 lesson folder for the example or click on this link to get an idea of a 5-minute script:

The script should begin with:
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! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for five minutes of HORROR!
MUSIC: "MIDNIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS" ...
ANNOUNCER: You are standing in inky blackness - looking up a long flight
of stairs, at the top of which lurks something unbelievably evil. Out of the
moving shadows behind you, coming closer to you, is the shadowy figure of
something that could only come from - a nightmare.
MUSIC: OUT
ANNOUNCER: Listen now as 5 MINUTES OF HORROR brings you (insert your name)'s terrifying story,
"They Came By Night"!
MUSIC: FOR AN INTRO
SOUND: CLINK OF COFFEE CUPS, RUSTLE OF NEWSPAPERS ...
