Halloween 6

DARKNESS fills the SCREEN.SUPERIMPOSE: October 30, 1995 DEAD SILENCE for what seems like an eternity, followed by a startling, bone-chilling SCREAM as we FADE IN: INT. DUNGEON - TUNNELS - NIGHT (DISTORTED) The agonizing SCREAMS continue as we MOVE rapidly through a labyrinth of winding underground tunnels.Glowing torches light the way.Blurry, indistinct silhouettes of grim FIGURES wearing black-cowled robes flash along the dank, craggy walls. As we BLAST around dark corners, we realize we are looking from the P.O.V. of a SCREAMING young woman being pushed forward on a gurney.Plunging deeper into this hellish maze. A door is SLAMMED.Wooden.Heavy.Muffling the SCREAMS. Spurs CLANK on a pair of silver-tipped cowboy boots as a MYSTERIOUS STRANGER steps into VIEW.Long black duster. Widebrimmed fedora.Lit cigarette dangling between gloved fingers. INT. BIRTHING CHAMBER - NIGHT (CONTINUOUS) A rat scampers from a hole, foraging in the muck of a rotted rack.A white sheet, saturated with blood, covers the parted legs of JAMIE LLOYD, now 16, cheeks flushed with perspiration. JAMIE Oh, God, it's coming!It's coming! MARY, a young midwife, rushes in with a bowl of hot water.Jamie lurches, knocking the bowl out of the girl's hands; it SHATTERS on the floor. JAMIE (continuing) Mary, mother of God, please make it stop! Mary's face is frozen in horror.Jamie's SCREAMS build to an unnerving crescendo.The paiin too much for her to bear.
