IT'S MONDAY

JENIFER

YOU SHOULD EAT SOMETHING BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL

CARRIE

I'M OK, REALLY

CARRIE PICKS UP AN APPLE FROM THE TABLE

CARRIE

HAPPY

CARRIE TURNS TO WALK OUT OF THE KITCHEN

VICTOR

NOT EVEN SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR OLD DAD

CARRIE TURNS BACK - HER MOTHER AND FATHER ARE GONE, THERE'S A SCREECHING NOISE BEHIND HER

CARRIE TURNS - THE KITCHEN IS GONE, SHE IS STANDING IN A ORPHANAGE AT NIGHT

SOMETHING IS IN THE SHADOWS OF THE ORPHANAGE, AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM

KATHERINE (V.O)

MY DAD, LOVED TAKING HIS VICTIMS TO A BOILER ROOM... I'D RATHER TAKE MINE TO MY ORPHANAGE

CARRIE

YOU'RE ORPHANAGE

KATHERINE

WELL THIS IS THE PLACE MY CHILDHOOD WAS TAKEN FROM ME

CARRIE

WHO ARE YOU

KATHERINE (V.O)

SOME WOULD SAY, A DEMON FORGED WITH SOUL OF A WOMAN... BUT EVIL HAS BEEN IN MY BLOOD SINCE I WAS BORN... I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT

CARRIE

HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE

KATHERINE (V.O)

OH, YOU CAN'T

CARRIE TRIES TO RUN FOR THE DOOR BUT A HORRIBLY BURNT YOUNG WOMAN WEARING A RED AND GREEN SWEATER AND A GLOVE WITH FINGER KNIVES ON IT LUNGES AT HER, KNOCKING CARRIE TO THE GROUND, THIS WOMAN IS KATHERINE KRUEGER

KATHRINE RIPS INTO CARRIE'S CHEST WITH THE BLADES

CARRIE TRIES TO SCREAM BUT FINDS HERSELF CHOKING ON HER OWN BLOOD

INT. LLOYD HOUSE

SARAH LLOYD WALKS DOWNSTAIRS AND INTO THE KITCHEN - HER PARENTS ARE SITTING AT THE TABLE

JENIFER

CARRIE STILL ISN'T UP YET

SARAH

STILL ISN'T UP

SARAH WALKS OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND SLOWLY WALKS UPSTAIRS

JENIFER

THOSE TWO

VICTOR

JUST HARMLESS FUN

JENIFER

USUALLY

VICTOR

WAIT FOR IT

SARAH STARTS SCREAMING

EXT. GRAVEYARD

VICTOR, JENIFER, CARRIE'S AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS AND FRIENDS ARE STANDING IN THE GRAVEYARD, SARAH IS ALSO THERE STANDING BESIDE THE GRAVE

VICTOR

SHE HASN'T BEEN SLEEPING SINCE

JENIFER

HOPEFULLY AFTER TODAY, SHE'LL START SLEEPING AGAIN

ONE OF CARRIE'S FRIENDS, A BOY CALLED DAVIS IS STANDING BESIDE SARAH

DAVIS

IF YOU NEED ANYONE TO TALK TO OR WHATEVER

SARAH

THANKS

DAVIS

YOUR SISTER, MEANT A LOT

SARAH

YEAH SHE DID... SHE WAS PIGHEADED, ANNOYING AND STUBBORN AS SHIT BUT... I'LL MISS HER

INT. SARAH'S ROOM

SARAH IS DRINKING COKE AND WATCHING TV

SARAH PICKS UP HER CELLPHONE, ON THE PHONE IS A PICTURE OF HER SISTER

SARAH STARTS CRYING, SHE WIPES AWAY THE TEARS AND LOOKS BACK AT THE PICTURE - THE PICTURE HAS CHANGED, IT LOOKS LIKE CARRIE IS CRYING

SARAH STARES AT THE PICTURE AS CARRIE'S TEARS TURN INTO BLOOD AND SUDDENLY SHES WEARING A RED AND GREEN SWEATER

CARRIE LOOKS UP AT SARAH - THERE IS BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH AND CARRIE SMILES AT SARAH

SARAH WAKES UP, SHE PICKS UP HER CELLPHONE AND LOOKS AT IT - THE PICTURE IS OF CARRIE SMILING AT THE CAMERA

INT. SPRINGWOOD HIGH

SARAH IS STANDING BY HER LOCKER WIPING TEARS FROM HER EYES

DAVIS WALKS UP TO SARAH

DAVIS

YOU OK

SARAH

... YEAH, I'M FINE

INT. ENGLISH CLASSROOM

GEORGE JENNINGS IS TAKING THE CLASS, AMONG THE STUDENTS ARE SARAH AND DAVIS

SARAH IS DRAWING SOMETHING AND DAVIS IS TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO JENNINGS BUT FINDS HIMSELF DISTRACTED BY A GIRL CALLED LISA WRIGHT

SARAH IS CONCENTRATING ON HER PICTURE, BARELY HEARING WHAT JENNINGS IS SAYING

JENNINGS (SHOUTING)

MISS LLOYD

SARAH LOOKS UP TO SEE JENNINGS STARING AT HER

SARAH

...

JENNINGS

MAYBE YOU COULD TELL US WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF CHAPTER 12

SARAH

I... THOUGHT IT WAS... UM

JENNINGS

NOW I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HAVING IT HARD LATELY, WITH THE DEATH OF YOUR SISTER...

JENNINGS SKIN STARTS MELTING AWAY TO REVEAL KATHRYN KRUEGER

KATHERINE

BUT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONGER THAN YOUR SISTER YOU BETTER GET SOME FUCKIN COMMON SENSE

SARAH IS FROZEN WITH FEAR

KATHERINE STARTS WALKING OVER TO HER, SHE RESTS HER GLOVED HAND ON SARAH'S HEAD

KATHERINE

NO COMMON SENSE... POOR LITTLE BITCH

KATHERINE STABS THE FINGER KNIVES INTO SARAH'S HEAD

IN THE REAL WORLD - SARAH IS SLEEPING AT HER DESK, TWO MARKS APPEAR ON HER HEAD AND BLOOD STARTS GUSHING OUT OF THEM

DAVIS LOOKS OVER AT SARAH

DAVIS

HOLY SHIT

DAVIS GETS UP AND WALKS OVER TO SARAH, HE LIFTS HER HEAD UP - THE PICTURE SARAH WAS DRAWING IS OF HER SISTER WEARING A RED AND GREEN SWEATER

EXT. SPRINGWOOD HIGH

DAVIS IS WALKING OUT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, AS AN AMBULANCE IS LEAVING

LISA (V.O)

DAVIS

DAVIS TURNS AROUND TO SEE LISA

LISA

DID YOU KNOW HER, WELL

DAVIS SHAKES HIS HEAD

DAVIS

I KNEW HER SISTER, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW SARAH THAT WELL

LISA

DID THEY SAY WHAT KILLED HER

DAVIS

NO, BUT...

LISA

BUT WHAT

DAVIS

I SAW TWO MARKS ON THE SIDE OF HER HEAD

LISA

YOU THINK SOMEONE KILLED HER

DAVIS

... I DON'T KNOW

LISA

BUT WE WERE ALL THERE, WE WOULD HAVE SEEN SOMETHING

DAVIS

...

LISA

WHAT

DAVIS

... NOTHING, I'M... JUST A LITTLE FREAKED OUT BY A PICTURE SHE WAS DRAWING BEFORE SHE DIED

LISA

WHAT WAS IT OF

DAVIS

IT WAS A PICTURE OF CARRIE WEARING A RED AND GREEN SWEATER... IT LOOKED KIND OF WEIRD

EXT. GRAVEYARD

DAVIS IS STANDING AT CARRIE'S GRAVE

DAVIS

I MISS YOU SO MUCH...

DAVIS STARTS CRYING

CARRIE (V.O)

I MISS YOU TOO

DAVIS

WHAT

A HAND TEARS THROUGH THE SOIL AND GRABS ONTO DAVIS'S LEG AND TRIES TO DRAG HIM UNDER - HE RUNS AWAY AS THE SKY TURNS RED AND THEN SLOWLY TURNS TO NIGHT

CARRIE APPEARS BEHIND DAVIS

CARRIE

I THOUGHT WE'D ALWAYS BE TOGETHER

DAVIS TURNS TO SEE CARRIE

DAVIS

I...

CARRIE

BUT AFTER I DIED WHAT DID YOU DO... HIT ON MY SISTER

DAVIS

I DIDN'T

CARRIE

I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL

DAVIS

WE... BUT YOU'RE

CARRIE'S SKIN STARTS TO DECAY, WORMS START EMERGING FROM HER EYE SOCKETS AND SHE FALLS TO THE GROUND

CARRIE (V.O)

WHAT DEAD

HANDS START TO EMERGE FROM OTHER GRAVES AND START PULLING THEIR BODIES UP TO THE SURFACE

DEAD PEOPLE START STUMBLING TOWARD DAVIS, HE TRIES TO RUN BUT FINDS HIMSELF SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES

AS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FAT MAN IN A VEST AND SHORTS RIPS DAVIS'S HEAD FROM HIS SHOULDERS

EXT. SPRINGWOOD HIGH

LISA IS STANDING OUTSIDE SPRINGWOOD HIGH STARING INTO EMPTY SPACE

ALICE (V.O)

LISA ARE YOU COMING WITH US

LISA

NO I'M OK

ALICE (V.O)

ARE YOU SURE

LISA

I'M FINE

ALICE (V.O)

REALLY

LISA TURNS TO LOOK AT ALICE - KATHRYN IS IN ALICE'S PLACE

KATHERINE (USING ALICE'S VOICE)

ARE YOU 100% SURE

LISA

WHO ARE YOU

KATHERINE

I'M EVERYTHING YOU FEAR

LISA STARTS BACKING AWAY, SHE ENDS UP HITTING SOMETHING AND FALLS TO THE GROUND - THE THING SHE HIT IS DAVIS'S DECAPITATED HEAD

LISA LOOKS UP AT KATHERINE

LISA

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

KATHERINE RAISES A FINGER KNIFE AND POINTS IT AT LISA

KATHERINE

I WANT YOUR SCREAMS... NOW OPEN WIDE AND GIVE ME YOUR BEST

IN THE REAL WORLD, LISA IS LYING ON THE GROUND JUST OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL, A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE GATHERED AROUND HER AND SEE FOUR BLOODY MARKS APPEAR ON HER CHEST AS LISA DIES

ACROSS THE STREET, CHILDREN ARE SKIPPING, ONE SECOND THEY'RE THERE, THE NEXT THEY'RE GONE
