RIGHT PLACE WRONG TIME

Here is a sneak preview of what I have been calling the Sock Puppet Mystery Project. This is the first two scenes or so of the script. Keep in mind that most of the characters are sock puppets. Comments and criticism is welcomed so don't hold yer punches, there Nancy.

Before you read on I feel that I should apologize for the terrible formatting job that Blogger has done. But one can expect such things when going from Celtx to Blogger using cut and paste.

Also this goes without saying (C) Tim Shrum, 2009 so Swiper no swiping! That is until I finish it at least ;) then you will see what cool things you can do with it on your own. Enjoy, schlock heads!

INT. SOMEPLACE BAD

Darkness surrounds everything.

OS are SOUNDS OF SOMETHING GRINDING AND GROWLING.

Everything slowly enters into blurry vision.

JOE - The hero - awakens in the middle of a pool of YELLOW GOO on a cold cement floor.

He sits up and looks ahead and discovers what the GRINDING sound is coming from a CHAINSAW skittering all over the cement floor.

To make matters worse, no more than five feet away, is a weird long and extremely thin HUMANOID CREATUREN who has been cut in half and is crawling towards Joe in the same pool of ooze.

Joe scrambles to his feet. He eyes the CHAINSAW again. But it's too far.

He takes a few slippery steps back.

The CREATURE continues to crawl towards him.

Joe takes a few more steps back - again both keep one eye on the Creature and the other on the CHAINSAW.

He almost trips over a BONE which has a end that is broken off into a JAGGED POINT.

Joe grabs it and like a knife points the jagged end down.

From the shadows behind Joe, CIGAR CHEWING DOC SAVAGE ERA/PULP HERO, enters into view. His left eye is covered with a RED EYEPATCH.

DOC

Great thinking, kid. Now, the way I see it, the only way to kill it is to-

JOE

How did you-?

DOC

Shut up and listen; you need to stab it in the head.

JOE

What!?

Doc

Now don't go pissin' yer diaper, kid. Look at it, the freak got cut in half with a chainsaw, and it still wants to kill you. These things probably don't feel a thing-like zombies.

JOE

Really?

Doc

How the hell should I know? Just kill it before it gets its claws on you.

Joe looks back at the Creature, and with trepidation, he approaches it.

JOE

I'm really sorry about all of this. Really, I am.

He slams the BONE, jagged end down, into the Creature's skull. It screams and hisses and even tries to grab Joe a few times. But soon the Creature is dead as Elvis.

DOC

Now the chainsaw.

Joe grabs the CHAINSAW and shuts it off.

OS is a LOUD BESTIAL ROARING SOUND.

He runs towards a SMALL WINDOW. Doc follows behind.

EXT. SOMEPLACE BAD

A BLUISH AND PURPLISH GLOW bathes the STONE EXTERIOR and ODD SHAPED WINDOW of wherever Joe is trapped.

JOE

Oh, this can't be good.
