    Muddie, California By /u/SodoffBaldrick

    EXT. GHOST TOWN - DAY The sun shines bright against a small town. Old taverns, city halls, and homes. Not a soul in sight. ARI (31) walks within the streets. Around her neck, she carries a shiny DSLR camera with an expensive looking lens. Fascinated. In the middle of the street there is an old 27 Dodge Graham. She snaps a picture. She briefly touches the car, HOT, walks away. Continues to take many pictures of the places around. Admires the antiquated signs. Stops at a building labeled REDWARD INN. INT. REDWARD INN - DAY The place is an old bar and lodging, furnace at the end of the room, billiard table in the middle. ARI snaps some more pictures, takes a look around. Picks up some liquor on the bar. Puts it down. She walks upstairs. CUT TO: EXT. REDWARD INN - NIGHT The moon has risen over a cloudless night. INT. REDWARD INN - BEDROOM - DAY Almost complete darkness, except... ARI holds a lit lantern as she sits atop the rusty cot of a bed. The camera is placed on top a stack of old books. Recording. ARI Hello everyone! Youre all probably wondering why I havent posted a (MORE) (CONTINUED)

    ARI (contd) video in a while! Im so sorry but just recently Ive been on vacation here in California. Right now Im in Muddie City, a ghost town. Ive got some cool pictures that I took today, check them out! Pushed a button on the camera, stops recording. She puts the camera and the books on the floor. She blows the lantern off. Lies down. Darkness... A distant call. Elongated, somewhat distressful. Ari scrambles around. The call becomes slightly louder. Still indistinguishable. The floor downstairs is creaking loudly. ARI makes a fist with her hands, presses against her ears. She hums loudly, for a little while, then... ARI RATS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! Silence. She relaxes. Downstairs, a bottle falls to the ground. *CRASH* ARI is startled. She puts her hand against her hard, THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP She slowly sits up, puts her shoes on, turns on the lantern. She puts her camera around her neck and stands up. Slowly walks towards the--

    INT. STAIRWAY - NIGHT Each step, meticulous, only slight creaks from her step. There is silence as she walks down. Slowly, but surely as sheTRIPWIRE, immediate contact and impact. One quick yelp, as she falls down the rest of the stairs. A LOUD, CACOPHONOUS, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, THUNK ARI Aaaahhh... INT. REDWARD INN - GROUND FLOOR - NIGHT lantern is broken, all lights out. She reaches around, groaning. Her hand touches something... it makes a mushy, gooey noise. Feeling around, its somewhat round, she delves her hand deep into it. A HORDE OF RODENTS-stuck in there, scared to their wits, they instinctively squeal and bit all over ARIS hand. ARI gets up and runs out screaming-EXT. REDWARD INN - NIGHT As she rushed out, she exhales in very quick and abrupt breaths. Kneels down, takes her time, noticing-FOOTSTEPS leading to the old church. Ari gulps.

    INT. CHURCH - NIGHT Complete darkness, save for a small flickering candle, at the end of the small building. It illuminates what appears to be the bottom of a crucifix, and a pair of... feet. Ari approaches the candle. Reaching a safe distance, she turns on her camera. Snaps a picture, FLASH ON! ARI gasps. Something seen when the flash went off. She looks down on her camera, and presses the play button. A NUDE MAN nailed and punctured against the crucifix, bloody and mutilated. ARI screams to the top of her lungs, running out as fast as she can. More tripwire, She falls, HARD. A boot and a lantern shine over her head. Ari looks up, complete look fear on her face. She snaps a picture with her busted lens. FLASH. Grim laughter. The boot goes up-STOMPS... EXT. MUDDIE, CALIFORNIA - ENTRYWAY - DAY Police cars stationed outside of the ghost town. There are very clear DO NOT ENTER signs throughout the area. A DEPUTY runs up to the CHIEF OF POLICE. DEPUTY Chief, we found this! The Deputy gives the camera to the chief. (CONTINUED)

    The Chief shakes his head as he looks through the data. A PHOTO an old looking man, early nineties, looks down menacingly, wearing a pumpkin top as a hat. CHIEF Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like these kids never learn to appreciate the legend of Muddie Johnson... CUT TO: INT. MYSTERIOUS ROOM - DAY A severed hand, gross infections growing out of it, holding on to an apple. FADE TO: BLACK
