Dr. BriggsTeaser of my fan-script
#1
Hey everybody, due to my good mood tonight, I'll be sharing the first coupla pages from that big-ol crossover I keep talking about writing Big Grin . I hope it entertains, and all comments and criticisms welcome.

----

THE TEXAS OUTDOORS- NIGHT

It is nighttime when we see several feet walk across a good field of dry mud and grass. These figures walk towards a special hospital for the criminally insane in Texas. The people eventually split into 2 groups, one lining up at the front and the other at the back. At the back we see 3 figures: A bald man carrying two gas tanks, a stocky but proud looking old man holding a gun in one hand, and what appears to be a gas masked coal miner, with a hook in place of one arm. At the front we can make out the silhouettes of four people: A man with glasses and a lab-coat, a tall and proper (Yet at the same time deranged) seeming man with what appear to be rats swarming at his feet, and two feral looking females (One wearing a leash, which the other holds), physically quarreling with each other. One of the females is noticeably small and thin, and the other is covered by several necklaces.

INSIDE THE MENTAL HOSPITAL'S FRONT FOYER

3 orderlies and a receptionist commune with each other, when they begin to catch sight of the quarrel through the glass double-doors and into darkness. We can hear some of their dialogue through the plexiglass.

Small figure: Come on, wolf, it’s time to GO

Necklaced figure: Ghost, no! Please don’t do this, we have to get away, this is serious, we have to—

The small figure swipes the necklaces off the other female and wraps them around herself before approaching the door, getting only inches away from the glass. We can now see her in the light.

Ghost: Are you ghosts ready to die?

There is a slight pause, and then the other female slams herself against the glass door! As the “wolf” girl comes towards the light of the hospital, we see she has now started to resemble the animal very much so, now with rapidly growing mangy hair, longer fingernails on shorter fingers, and a mouth full up with gnarled sharp teeth to top it off. After the first hit, the people near the entrance simply look on with shock and disgust. They begin to reach for walkie talkies just as the wolf girl throws herself into the glass door again, this time with enough force to smash through it! The orderlies and receptionist begin to panic as the girl’s lupine attributes become even more apparent, and in the flick of a wrist she pounces on one of the white-coated men, tearing his body like tissue paper! The wolf, having easily vanquished its prey and now possessing very few human features, turns its attention to the receptionist, who was trying her best to somehow sneak away from the scene unharmed, by slowly crawling over her desk. The wolf girl jumps atop the desk and starts to violently gnaw at the woman’s torso. During this carnage, one of the other orderlies simply runs away with mouth agape, but another runs towards the wolf girl in an attempt to subdue her… This attempt fails when the animal is able to wrestle herself away from the man and counterattack, clenching on to his neck so hard that he is nearly decapitated. With this attack having gone so quickly and easily, the wolf then begins to pursue the running orderly as he makes a swift pace down the hall… Just as the final orderly disappears around a corner, the wolf girl follows. Horrendous feasting sounds and screams are heard offscreen as the other two men lined up at the front enter. The receptionist, still alive and rather horrified, looks on.

Lab coat: Unusable… Unusable… DAMN! Willard, I ask you, what is the purpose of this insane idiocy?!

Deranged (Willard): Vengeance! Securing our rightful place…

Lab coat: Securing your rightful place, ha…..

Willard: It’s not YOUR place either if you don’t understand it!

Lab coat: Perhaps not… I believe that if I have to witness another STUPID massacre in the name of NOTHING, I’ll find a new place to do my work…

The rats that once surrounded Willard have now swarmed inside, and converge on the whimpering receptionist, looking ravenous…

INSIDE THE BACK FOYER

An explosion blows the glass doors to hell and sends a thick gas billowing into the room! To make things worse, gunshots begin to ring out! The stocky man in the coat and the bald man wearing white step in wielding guns, taking out those unlucky souls who weren’t killed instantly in the blast. The duo continue shooting until they both run out of ammunition, at which point a group of 3 orderlies desperately bumrush them. The orderlies underestimate the invaders, however. Despite being rather elderly, the man in the coat shows the sure signs of combat training, melded beautifully with outright insanity as he knocks two of the men off him, taking out a knife to stab one in the neck, then stabbing the other in the gut as he attempts a second attack. Meanwhile the largest orderly has the bald man in white covered… at least until he receives a pick-axe through his head, courtesy of the hook-armed miner who walked in under the cover of chaos. Blood falls into the bald man’s face and mouth, which prompts him to quickly throw the orderly’s corpse off him and sip deep from the nearest water fountain, maniacally gargling it and spitting on the floor.

THE NORTH WING (NEAR THE FRONT)

The place is littered with mangled bodies, victims of the wolf-woman… Willard makes his way through the halls with a mindless yet purpose driven look on his face whilst the lab-coated man straggles behind, finding the bodies “unusable” or rat food.

Lab coat: The vermin need to eat, but I NEED MORE SPECIMENS!

Willard: Well you’ll get more dead bodies than you’ll know what to do with after the takeover!

Lab coat: And I suppose these retards are supposed to mean the great difference between success and failure?

Willard: You’re not helping, Mr. West!!

Lab coat man (West) sighs and picks the lock on a heavy-locked door nearby. He walks in and comes out with 3 white masks: A sack, one like a strawberry shortcake doll, and one resembling the caricature of a pin-up girl. Willard walks up to rooms #281, #282, and #283: Stephen, Megan, and Tara Hoyt.

Willard: Find cards! Find cards in the pockets! 281, 282, 283!!!

And just like that, a large platoon of rats obediently begins to tear away all the pockets from the dead doctors and other staff. West also begins to search.

West (Sarcastic): Very impressive, Pavlov… It’s not as though it’s necessary to—

Three rats spectacularly bring the three cards Willard asked for to him!

Willard: They’re smarter than you think, smarter than you! And more helpful…

West looks over at Willard, not in the position to make a remark as Willard uses the cards to unlock the rooms

Willard: And they have better attitudes than humans to boot…

The three figures emerge from their rooms and take the masks from West.

Willard: If you want a nicer world… Join us.

The stranger who took the burlap-sack mask turns cynically to a blonde wearing the doll-face. The 3 masked strangers keep walking in the same direction. West and Willard follow them.

IN THE SOUTH WING NEAR THE REAR

The bald man, the old man, and the miner make their way towards certain cells, killing more staff as they go. Finally, the old man shoots the locks on three doors and the bald man picks the lock off on one more with what appear to be dental instruments. From the three cells emerge a scrappy looking blonde girl in her 20s, a hillbilly looking man with one arm and one ear, and a very big old guy with no nose.

Old man: You three are being drafted as of now!!

Hillbilly: Well looks like I may just need a plate for my head!

Old man: Not if you do like we say!

Hillbilly: Calm down, gunny, I’m just fine with the prospect of some steel on this old body, just as long as I can get some serious action in!

Old man: THAT …Is the spirit!

The bald man walks in carrying a few prosthetics, a very large chrome-plated chainsaw with the words “The Saw is Family” engraved on it, a big sledgehammer, and a morbid looking doll

Girl: SALLY!!

Both the no-nosed man and the girl become excited, the girl runs forward and takes the doll, then pulls a crude-looking knife from it and starts wildly stabbing the air!

OUTSIDE

All the perpetrators of the massacre and their new “friends” begin to walk out. A worn down, nondescript and emotionless female figure watches them

CLOSEUP – THE FEMALE’S EYES, GLOWING NEON PINK – CUT TO – ALL THE CELLS IN THE HOSPITAL UNLOCKING AT ONCE, SETTING THE OTHER PATIENTS FREE. BACK AT THE GATHERING OF MANIACS, THE FEMALE ADDRESSES THE OTHERS, IN A MAN’S VOICE

Female: We are ready to begin our plan, NOW

The female pulls out a creepy old piece of parchment – part of The Necronomicon

Well it was very interesting but I'm kind of lost. Is this like set in a world where all horror/thriller movie icons exist together? Other then that I thought it was nicely written and look foward to future parts.

Yep pretty much, I didn't want to add in a bunch of extra-dimensional stuff just for the sake of a crossover Tongue. Thanks for the compliment on my writing!

Not to discount the location and all but you could use exterior cues to keep from repeating the place too often.
This is not only for you - the writer but also the reader's sanity...
Example:Instead of saying the deep south ..uses locations as to direct the action.
Since it take place in Texas you want to say something like -
the middle of nowhere, Texas
(close up to sign on wall letting watcher know - make up a name for the hospital - maybe even a nod to yourself here?)Mr Briggs insitute for the mental and crimiminally insane
It was a joy to read and good thing I'm not a fish - as I am already HOOKED Laughing-satan
THANKS FOR SHARING :eg:

Thanks, Caroline. I do plan to go back and refine a lot of things at some point, make it a much more engrossing work, but for now it's been something for me just to get through XP. Thankya for the compliment, glad you like it thus far! Smile
