Written by Chris Poon & Luke Baker


EXT. COLLEGE RESTROOM – EVENING

An extremely grimy, rundown restroom, with no one to be seen and everything is chillingly still.

Immediate CLOSE UP to a single droplet falling from a tap. A quick cut to the door as it creeks open. JAMES enters the room in dark black boots. The door slams sharply behind him with a load bang.

Close up of JAMES washing his hands and face. A high shot, looking down at JAMES as he checks himself in the mirror. As JAMES bends to wash his face THE REAPER glides behind him, shown in the reflection in the mirror. JAMES rises without any clue of what was behind him.

INT. COLLEGE RESTROOM CUBICLE - INSIDE

JAMES enters the toilet cubicle. Close up to his hand locking the door, signifying a sense of security.

EXT. COLLEGE RESTROOM CUBICLE - OUTSIDE

Still shot of the lower half of the occupied cubicle. THE REAPER walks into shot with a slow pace, his right leg and heavy sledgehammer in view. The hammer hanging from his hand rocks slowly backwards and forwards.

INT. COLLEGE RESTROOM – INSIDE

JAMES is sitting on the toilet seat. His head is facing down towards the floor. A LOUD BANG against the toilet cubical startles JAMES striking fear into his eyes. JAMES gets up from the toilet. CLOSE UP to JAMES unlocking the door symbolizing that he is no longer safe. JAMES looks outside the door and looks from side to side. Suddenly THE REAPER fly’s out from behind JAMES slamming him hard against the door and then back towards him pulling him out of shot. The door slams shut as JAMES is pulled out of shot.

FADE IN: EXT. COLLEGE RESTROOM OUTSIDE

JAMES’S bloody hand drags against the toilet floor. JAMES attempts to pull himself along the ground, moving in agonizing pain, blood dripping down his skull and other parts of his body. With complete fear in his eyes he tries everything in his power to escape. JAMES slowly turns his head round as he hears the steps of THE REAPER edging towards him, with a look of complete terror in his eyes. THE REAPER appears in shot and stares at JAMES through his blood bandaged face. THE REAPER tilts his head before slamming his hammer into the skull of JAMES.
