Thriller Script (Lauren)

EXT. WOODS. DAY

GEORGE, a playful young boy, begins his walk into the woods, also skipping in a youthful manner.

GEORGE

(Quietly singing)

Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

GEORGE starts playing now. Swinging from tree to tree, running about, catching bugs and making mud pies, stopping briefly to sit in a tree and eat his lunch- a jam sandwich wrapped in brown paper. GEORGE then fires a fake bow and arrow whilst perched on a branch, discovering he can’t see where he has fired it. After searching for a while he spots it in a small stream and paddles his way over to it. Once he has collected it he notices a red glove lying in the water, picking it up, he then notices a scarf caught on a sharp branch further up the stream. He wades further up to the scarf, examining it he eyes are drawn to yet another something further up the stream. A body floating in the water. Fear ensues.

CLOSE UP of GEORGE’S face then fade to opening titles.
