               The sound of RAIN and THUNDER

                                                               CUT TO:



              INT. STUDY - NIGHT

              camera 1(MCU) A pale MAN in his thirties sits staring
              straight ahead. He is WHISPERING to himself.

                                  MAN (WHISPERING)
                        What was it?

              (Long Pause)

                                  MAN (CONT'D)
                        What was it?
                                (Pause)

              He violently shakes his head as if he hears a SHRIEK. He
              closes his eyes and BREATHES loudly. He rubs his forehead
              with his fingers.

                                                               CUT TO:



              CAMERA 2 MCU TABLE TO HIS LEFT.

              The MAN picks up a glass filled with liquid.

              camera 1 MCU the MAN sips what is in the glass and holds it
              to his chest. He appears to be listening.

              CAMERA 2 MCU OF THE TABLE TO HIS LEFT. THERE IS A LAMP AND
              SMALL BOX THERE. A FINGER TOUCHES THE BOX, GENTLY RUBS THE
              LID. TILT UP TO MAN LOOKING DOWN AT THE BOX.

              He frowns as though CONFUSED. He BREATHES.

              He suddenly starts and whips back around, startled.

              camera 1 CU MAN terrified



              CAMERA 3 P.O.V. A WOMAN, BERENICE, STANDS LOOKING DOWN AT THE

              She plays with her hair. We hear the MAN BREATHE loudly.



              CAMERA 2 LS MAN AND BERENICE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER.



              CAMERA 1 POV MAN LOOKS TERRIFIED.

              The MAN BREATHES hard and fast. He backs into his chair.



              CAMERA 3 POV BERENICE.

              She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes.

              camera 1 POV MAN.

                                  MAN
                        Why...? Why do you smile?



              CAMERA 3 POV BERENICE

              She begins to smile sinisterly and pulls her own hair. She
              tilts her head down to glare at MAN.



              CAMERA 1 POV MAN

                                  MAN (CONT'D)
                        Stop! Stop it!

              camera 3 CU BERENICE's mouth in a wide smile.

                                  MAN (CONT'D)
                        Stop smiling at me!



              CAMERA 1 OTS MAN. BERENICE IS GONE. THE MAN BREATHES LOUDLY
              AND COVERS HIS FACE WITH HIS ARMS.



              A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.

              He breathes and slowly looks toward the sound. He straightens
              in his chair, shakes his head. The door opens.

              A SERVANT walks in to the right side of the MAN and kneels
              next to the chair. The MAN ignores the SERVANT.

              Beat.

                                  SERVANT (WHISPERING)
                        Sir, earlier I heard a shrieking
                        outside. I ran and searched the
                        grounds for the source...CHOKES.

              The MANs' eyes shift towards the SERVANT.

                                   SERVANT
                        I found a shallow grave...your
                        wife...she's disfigured, but still
                        breathing...

              The MAN looks forward. His face contorts. He stands and
              turns as he almost walks out of frame.

              Camera 3 HANDHELD FORWARD to MCU with the MAN as he walks to
              the window. PAUSE. He lifts his left hand to touch the glass
              and turns his head. GASP. There are finger nail marks on his
              skin. HANDHELD OUT as MAN turns towards the chair.

                                  SERVANT (CONT'D)
                        Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God

              Camera 3 The MAN is wearing blood soaked clothing.

              Camera 2 He rushes to the side table and picks up the box. He
              pulls the lid off. He TREMBLES and drops the box.

              Camera 1 TILT DOWN to CU of bloody teeth. SCREAM.

                                                               CUT TO:
