Curse of the Cat People

"THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE" Screen Play by DeWitt Bodeen The MAIN and CREDIT TITLES are SUPERIMPOSED on a series of line drawings of elves, small forest creatures, tree limbs, and other grotesqueries drawn in the delicate, fanciful, and yet frightening style of Arthur Rackham, The DISSOLVES from one card to another are accomplished by a gust of wind blowing autumnal leaves past the title as the card begins its dissolve.The drawing on the last card shows an oddly shaped tree trunk. FADE OUT FADE IN EXT. FOREST PATH - DAY CAMERA IS SHOOTING PAST the actual tree which we have seen depicted in the last card.Up the path, marching two by two, are a dozen children of kindergarten age. At their head is Miss Callahan, a young, pleasant- looking teacher.The children are singing rounds and she directs this operation by blowing a pitch pipe and extending her hand first to the left hand column which starts the first lines of the round. CHILDREN (singing) "The goldenrod is yellow, The corn is turning brown," Miss Callahan extends her arm toward the right column. They take up the words the left column has just finished, while the left column now goes on with the second part of the round. CHILDREN (CONT'D) (singing) "The trees in apple orchards 'With fruit are bending down." Miss Callahan smiles in satisfaction at her pupils, and turning around, continues along the pathway, waving time with her hands as the children go on and on with their musical round. EXT.
