-----------------------------------------------------
The outside of a house. There is a Halloween dummy (along withvarious other Halloween decorations) on the front porch. A car
pulls up. KYLE and WENDY step out, dressed in cowboy/girl
costumes. KYLE has a small video camera in his hand and is
filming WENDY.
WENDY
Knock it off, Kyle! You havent taken that video camera off of me
since we left my house.
KYLE
Thats because you look so adorable.
WENDY playfully rolls her eyes at KYLE and takes his hand as
they walk to the door. KYLE knocks on the door. As they wait for
someone to answer, WENDY comments on the dummy to Kyle.
WENDYThat dummy gives me the creeps. I feel like I can see it breathing.
KYLE
Thats because youre a big baby, Wendy. Its so fake looking
anyway.

KYLE leans in close to the dummy to examine it. He screams and
acts as though the dummy is grabbing him. WENDY jumps at first,
but then realizing KYLE is joking, she swats at him.
WENDY
NOT funny.
ALLISON opens the door in a panic, thinking something is wrong.
ALLISON
Is everything okay, guys?
WENDY
Yes. Kyle was just being a jerk.
WENDY gives KYLE a punch in the arm. ALLISON relaxes and
welcomes KYLE and WENDY inside.
ALLISON
Come on in. Aw. You guys look so cute!
WENDY
Thanks. I put them together myself!
KYLE
Yes. With absolutely no help (or say) from me.
WENDY tugs on KYLEs arm playfully and they smile at each
other.
KYLE
Are we the first to arrive?
ALLISON

Yup. Theres punch and snacks on the table in the corner. Ill be
right back. Im gonna put some music on now that there are people
here.
KYLE and WENDY make their way to the snack table. KYLE grabsa rather ridiculously large handful of potato chips and shoves
them in his mouth. WENDY gives him a look.
KYLE
(With his mouth full)
What?
WENDY rolls her eyes at KYLE. There is a knock at the door.
WENDY
I got it, Allison!
WENDY goes to answer the door. MAX (dressed as a gangster) is
standing with a fake machine gun pointed at WENDY.
MAX(Said with a thick gangster accent)
Put em up.
WENDY puts her arms up, pretending with MAX.
WENDY
Haha. Hey, Max!
WENDY opens the door and lets MAX in. The music begins toplay.
MAX
(Said with a thick gangster accent)
Well, hello, cowgirl Wendy! And where is the lovely host?

Just then ALLISON appears at the top of the stairs. MAX takes off
his hat.
MAX (Cont.)(Said with a thick gangster accent)
Va va voom! Look at you!
ALLISON
You like it?
ALLISON walks down the stairs to join KYLE, MAX, and WENDY.
MAX
(Said with a thick gangster accent)
Like it? Baby, I love it!
ALLISON
Haha. Are you going to be talking with that ridiculous accent all
night?
MAX
(Said with a thick gangster accent)
That depends. Do you like it?
ALLISON
No.
ALLISON and MAX smile at each other as the group makes their
way into the open area of the living room.
WENDY
The house looks great, Allison.
ALLISON

5/33
Thanks. I love decorating for Halloween. It's my favorite holiday.
Did you see the black light room?
WENDY
No.
ALLISON
Come on. Check it out.
ALLISON and WENDY go to the black light room. KYLE and MAX
stay put.
MAXYou already saw it too?
KYLE
Nah. I just don't want Wendy to see that I already spilled some
soda on my costume.
KYLE and MAX laugh. Clip to ALLISON and WENDY in the black
light room.
WENDY
I love this! So spooky...haha.
Clip to outside. Another car pulls up. JESSICA steps out dressed
as a fairy. She is walking toward the front door as ANDREW
walks up the sidewalk. JESSICA spots him, but continues to walk,
rolling he eyes as she does. ANDREW sees her and calls out to
her.
ANDREW
Hey! Jessica!
Before turning around to greet ANDREW, JESSICA rolls her eyes

one more time. Then she plays nice.
JESSICA
Andrew. Hey.
ANDREW
Hey. I thought you were going to wear the poodle skirt outfit to
match me.
JESSICA
Look, I really dont want to get into this now.
JESSICA turns and walks toward the door. ANDREW follows.
ANDREW
We had a fight. Thats normal.
JESSICA
We fought because I saw you with someone else!
ANDREWJessica, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to find out that way.
JESSICA
Dont worry about it. Lets just get through tonight and
ALLISON opens the door and greets ANDREW and JESSICA.
They stop talking and smile at ALLISON.
ALLISON(Interrupting)
Andrew! Jessica! Glad you could make it. You're the last to arrive.
Come on in.
ANDREW and JESSICA step inside. ALLISON looks around

outside before closing the door and locking it.
ALLISON (Cont.)
Now that everyone's here, I thought we could start off the night
with a game of 1 to 10!
ALL but JESSICA
Sound great, sure, okay...etc.
JESSICA
Whats 1 to 10?
MAXOh, its really fun.
WENDY
And really easy.
ALLISON
Youll love it! Come on. Lets play in here!
ALLISON leads the way to the black light room. The other guests
follow. The guests sit down on the couch, chair, and floor.
ALLISON begins to explain the game.
ALLISON (Cont.)
Okay, so we go around the circle and count from 1 to 10 and then
back through over and over. But on different numbers, you have to
remember to do different things.
KYLE
Yeah, like for example, on 4 you have to bark instead of saying
4. If you mess up, then the person to your right gets to slap your
leg.
7

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
8/33
ANDREW
And the person to your left gets to make up a new rule for a
number or take one away.
ALLISONIts really easy once you get the hang of it. Okay, to start off, lets
do a bark on 4 and
MAX
(Interrupting)
A pelvic thrust on 9.
ALL but MAXNo, ew, whatetc.
MAX
Oh, come on
ALLISON
No. Lets do a clap on 9.
ALL but MAX
Okay, alright, lets goetc.
MAX groans. They begin to play the game. The person who has
MAX on their left messes up and he makes a pelvic thrust on
number 10 just to spite everyone. They groan, but allow the rule.
As the play, thunder can be heard in the background. The storm
continues to grow as they play. All the while, KYLE is seen taking
video here and there of their game.
Suddenly, the lights go out. Nothing can be seen, only heard.
Everyone reacts differently. MAX lets out a scream (he has been
struck on the head) and falls to the floor. The lights flicker and
then remain on. ALLISON screams when she sees MAX on the
8
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
9/33
floor, blood on his head, and a bloody candlestick lying beside his
body.
Once ALLISON screams, the others look and react to his
seemingly lifeless body. ALLISON goes to his side and takes hispulse.
ALLISON
Hes dead!
Bum bum bumThe guests all react to the news. Suddenly,
WENDY realizes something.
WENDY
Wait a minute. Kyle, werent you filming when the lights went
out?
KYLE
Yeah. Actually its still on.
ALLISON looks up from the floor.
ALLISON
Let me see it!
KYLE
Wait a second.
KYLE rummages through his pockets and pulls out a cable.
KYLE (Cont.)
I can hook it up to the TV so we can see better.
KYLE moves over to the TV and searches for a connection.

10/33
KYLE (Cont.)
Can someone turn the real lights on? I cant see a thing back here.
One of the guests flicks the light switch. As they do, ALLISON
cries over MAXs head.
KYLE (Cont.)
There we go.
KYLE rewinds the tape to just before the lights went out. ALL are
watching intently. Unfortunately, once the lights are off, nothing
can be seen in the dark.
ALLISON
(Hysterical)
Turn it off!
KYLE quickly turns off the TV and unhooks the camera.
ALLISON (Cont.)
Now get out! All of you!
ALL leave the room quickly to give ALLISON a moment. Clip to
the group (minus ALLISON and MAX) standing around in the
living room.
ANDREW
You know what this means dont you?
WENDYWhat?
ANDREW
This is going to go on our permanent record. Were not going to be
able to apply for a job at McDonalds without this coming up.

JESSICA
Our friend is dead and youre worried about your job options!?!
ANDREWIm just saying that
WENDY
(Interrupting)
Jessicas right. Youre ridiculous, Andrew!
KYLE
Honey, you really shouldnt
WENDY
Dont honey me! You could be the killer! Any one of you could!
ALLISON returns from the black light room and the room falls
silent. She passes through the group and heads towards the
kitchen.
JESSICA
Allison, where are you going?
ALLISON
Where do you think? Im calling the cops.
The group looks at each other. ANDREW has the expression of I
told you so. The group follows ALLISON into the kitchen. She
picks up the phone. There is no dial tone.
ALLISON
Dead.
WENDY
11
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
12/33
Um. Why dont I just use my cell phone?
WENDY holds up her cell phone.
ALLISONGood luck with that. I never get service here.
WENDY
I always get service. Just give me a second.
WENDY leaves the kitchen holding her phone up, attempting to get
bars. KYLE picks up his video camera from his neck and follows
WENDY.
ALLISON calls after KYLE.
ALLISON
Kyle! Could you not?
KYLE
Sorry, Allison. This is too good not to tape. Can you imagine howmuch I could sell this for?
ALLISON rolls her eyes as KYLE continues to follow WENDY.
ALLISON picks up the phone and hangs it up a few times, but
realizing that its completely dead, she hangs up and gives up.
ANDREW
Allis
ALLISON
(Interrupting)
What?
ANDREW
12

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
13/33
(Timid)
Is there anyone else in the house?
ALLISON
What?
ANDREW
Is there anyone
ALLISON
(Interrupting)
I heard you. I just dont understand why youre asking.
ANDREW
Well, as you know, your boyfriend was just murdered and I think
its pretty clear that it was someone in that room.
ALLISON
No. Theres no one else.
ANDREWDid anyone have a grudge against Max?
ALLISON
Not that I know
The front door opening is heard in the background.
JESSICA
Was that the front door?
ALLISON
Yes.
ALLISON, ANDREW and JESSICA all look at each other with a
13
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
14/33
sudden revelation.
ANDREW
Kyle!
ALLISON and JESSICA
Wendy!
The group rushes to the front door. When they are almost there,
two gunshots are heard. They move even faster. Sadly, they arent
in time.
When they open the front door, they see KYLE and WENDY layingon the porch with blood spilling from their bodies. They are
obviously dead.
A womans scream is heard. The camera pans and it is ANDREW
who is screaming and clutching JESSICAs shoulder. ALLISON
and JESSICA look at him with What the heck? expressions.
ANDREW melts out of his hold on JESSICA and laughs nervously.
ANDREW
Sorry. I
JESSICA
Allison, we cant leave these bodies on the porch. Andrew, help us
lift them onto the couch in the other room.
ALLISON
Jessica, I dont know about this.
JESSICA
Its not a crime to move their bodies. We wouldnt want a
neighborhood kid to walk by and see it, would we?
14

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
15/33
ALLISON
I suppose not.
JESSICA
Right.
ANDREW
Okay, Kyle first.
The three remaining guests lift KYLEs body and take him into the
black light room. They set his body down on the couch, which is
covered with a white sheet. The do the same with WENDYs body,
laying her beside KYLE.
ANDREW
You know we should probably move Max over here too. Jessica
and I can do it if youre
ALLISON
(Interrupting)
No, its alright. Ill help.
The three remaining guests lift MAXs body onto the couch with
KYLE and WENDY. ALLISON exits the room with JESSICA
shortly behind her. ANDREW goes to shuts off the light and sees a
blinking light on the pile of bodies. He reaches for it. Its KYLEs
video camera. ANDREW turns the lights back on as he examines
the camera. He sees that it is still on.
ANDREWAllison! Jessica! Come here, quick!
Clip to ALLISON and JESSICA in the other room, JESSICA is
comforting ALLISON. They hear ANDREW and run into the black
light room. When they get there, ANDREW already has the video
15
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
16/33
camera hooked up to the TV and is rewinding the video.
ALLISON
What is it?
ANDREW
Kyles camera was still on. Maybe this time well be able to see
the killer!
ALLISON and JESSICA
Oh my gosh.
ALLISON and JESSICA go to sit on the couch, but seeing the deadbodies, they squat on the floor instead. ANDREW cues up the
video and lets it play from where KYLE was following WENDY
around the house. The three watch in silence and sadness.
When it gets to the part where KYLE and WENDY go outside, the
three remaining guests all watch very intently.
*VIDEO CLIP*
The video camera follows WENDY outside.
KYLE (voice only)
And heres Wendy. Still attempting to get a signal.
WENDY
(Putting her hand in front of the camera)
Stop it, Kyle.
WENDY holds up her phone.
WENDY (Cont.)
I think I got it! And you didnt think Id

17/33
A single gunshot is heard and the video camera falls to the
ground, WENDY can be seen.
WENDY (Cont.)Oh my gosh! Kyle!
WENDY looks to the side.
WENDY (Cont.)
No! It cant be
A second gunshot is heard and WENDY falls to the ground,knocking the camera. In the brief knocking of the camera, it pans
past where the dummy was sitting and finally ends on the ground.
A few moments later, ANDREWs scream is heard. ANDREW
stops the tape.
*END VIDEO CLIP*
ANDREW(Disheartened)
Nothing.
JESSICA
No, wait. Go back to where Wendy hit the camera. I couldve
sworn I saw something.
ALLISON
Jess, theres nothing there.
JESSICA
It cant hurt to take a second look.
ANDREW rewinds the video to where WENDY says No. It cant
17
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
18/33
be. He lets it play. When the camera is hit by WENDY falling,
JESSICA tells him to pause it.
JESSICA
(Pointing)There!
ANDREW pauses the tape. The video camera is aimed at the chair
where the dummy was. The dummy is missing.
ANDREW
Did I miss it? Theres nothing there.
JESSICA
Exactly. The dummy. Its missing.
ALLISON
The dummy? Jessica, I know tonights been traumatic for all of us,
but the dummy is well just that. A dummy!
JESSICAThen where is it?
JESSICA gets up and points at the screen. She then exits the room
and goes to the front door. ALLISON and ANDREW follow her.
When they reach the porch, the dummy is sitting in the chair, as
still as ever. JESSICA goes over to it and pulls off its mask.
Newspaper falls from it. JESSICA drops it on the ground and sits
in the porch chair next to the dummy.
JESSICA
I know it sounded crazy, but I just thought
JESSICA trails off. ANDREW goes over to her and rests his hand
18
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
19/33
on her shoulder.
ANDREW
I know. Its okay.
JESSICA places her hand on ANDREWs. The group is silent for a
moment. Just then, the house phone rings from inside.
ANDREW
Is that your house phone?
ALLISON
(Shocked)It is!
ALLISON runs inside, followed by ANDREW and JESSICA. They
rush to the kitchen. ALLISON picks up the phone.
ALLISON
Hello?
DUMMY (voice only)
Im watching youvery closely. Hahaha
The phone falls silent. ALLISON has a look of shock on her face.
She hangs the phone up and picks it up again. No dial tone. She
does this a couple of times, very dramatically.
JESSICA
Who was it?
ALLISON
I dont know, but theres still no dial tone. All they said was Im
watching you very closely. And then they laughed. But the
phones are dead so I dont know how

20/33
ALLISON cuts herself off and begins to cry.
ANDREW
Jessica, where are your keys?
JESSICA
On the snack table. Why?
ANDREW
I dont know about you, but I dont want to be the next one to drop
dead. We need to leave. Now.
ANDREW leaves the kitchen, followed by ALLISON and JESSICA.
ANDREW grabs a set of keys off of the snack table as he passes it.
ALLISON
Andrew! Jessica! Stop!
ANDREW and JESSICA turn around.
ANDREW
What?
ALLISON
Dont you see that shadow? Someone is at the front
Just then, the doorbell rings.
ALLISON (Cont.)door.
JESSICA
Oh my gosh! Do you think its the killer?

21/33
ALLISON
Why would the killer ring the doorbell?
JESSICA
I dont know!
ALLISON
I have a peephole. Andrew?
ALLISON gestures towards the door.
ANDREW
Sure. Ill check.
ANDREW looks through the peephole very cautiously. The camera
shot looks through the peephole. OFFICER DUNCAN is
standing there. OFFICER DUNCAN knocks on the door again.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Excuse me! Is anyone home?
ANDREW turns back to tell the girls.
ANDREW
(Whispering)
Its the police! What should I do?
JESSICA
What should you do? You should answer!
JESSICA rushes to the front door and opens it. ALLISON follows
and ANDREW steps out of the way.
OFFICER DUNCAN
(Tipping his hat)
21

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
22/33
Good evening, young lady. We received a strange phone call at the
station about this house. They said they were watching you and
JESSICA opens the glass door and pulls OFFICER DUNCAN
inside.
JESSICA
(Interrupting)
Its about time you got here!
OFFICER DUNCAN
You were the one who called?
JESSICA
Um. No. But I think I know why someone did. Officer, there have
been several murders here tonight.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Murders?
ANDREWWhat she means to say, officer, is that there have been several
accidents here
OFFICER DUNCAN
Accidents?
ALLISON
Officer, please let us explain what happened to our friends before
you assume the worst of us.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Your friends?
ALLISON

ANDREW goes over to the snack table and pours OFFICER

24/33
DUNCAN a glass of punch (Lemon Berry Blast, baby!). OFFICER
DUNCAN sits down on the couch and takes out a notepad.
ALLISON sits beside him, with some space, and JESSICA sits in a
chair.
ALLISON
As I was saying, Im hosting a couples costume
JESSICA
(Interrupting)
Allison, please. He only needs the important details.
ALLISONRight. Sorry.
ANDREW returns with OFFICER DUNCANs drink and hands it
to him. He nods in appreciation. ANDREW stands as the girls tell
OFFICER DUNCAN about the events of the night.
ALLISON (Cont.)
A short while ago, the power went out.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Because of the storm of course.
ALLISON
Right. Well, we only lost power for a few seconds, but in those few
seconds, my boyfriend, Max was
OFFICER DUNCANMax. Whats his last name?
ALLISON

OFFICER DUNCAN
Okay, go on. You were saying when the power went out that your

(Trying to talk through the tears)
Yes. Max washe was
JESSICA puts her hand on ALLISONs and answers for her.
JESSICA
He was murdered, officer.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Are you sure, maam?
JESSICA
Yes. Unless he hit himself over the head with a candlestick.
OFFICER DUNCANA candlestick?
ANDREW
Yes.
OFFICER DUNCAN
And is the candlestick still in the house?
ALLISON(A bit more composed)
Yes.
OFFICER DUNCAN
I see. You guys havent touched it, have you?
25
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
26/33
The three remaining guests look at each other.
ANDREW
I dont believe so, Officer Duncan.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Thank you. And your name?
ANDREW
Andrew. Andrew Schwartz.
OFFICER DUNCANAndrew, could you grab me a freezer bag big enough to hold the
candlestick please?
ANDREW
Sure.
ANDREW goes to the kitchen to retrieve a freezer bag for
OFFICER DUNCAN. OFFICER DUNCAN puts away his notepad
and takes out rubber gloves and starts to put them on. He stands
as hes doing so.
OFFICER DUNCAN
All of you are going to need to come down to the station with me
once I retrieve the murder weapon, okay?
ANDREW returns with the freezer bag and hands it to OFFICER
DUNCAN.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Now, where was it left?
JESSICA points to the black light room and OFFICER DUNCAN
26
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
27/33
starts walking towards it.
ANDREW
Yes, thats where it was left, but sir, theres more to
OFFICER DUNCAN
(Interrupting)
I was just telling your friends here that youll all need to come
down to the station after I retrieve the weapon.
ANDREW
Okay, thats fine, but
OFFICER DUNCAN
Anything else you have to add, you can do so there.
ANDREW
I really dont think we should wait until
Just before OFFICER DUNCAN reaches the black light room,
there is a noise heard upstairs. OFFICER DUNCAN pulls his gun
out and instructs the three remaining guests to stand back.
OFFICER DUNCAN
Stand back! Is there someone else in the house?
ALLISON
No, sir.
OFFICER DUNCANOkay, the three of you step in that room while I check it out.
JESSICA
But, officer
27

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
28/33
OFFICER DUNCAN
(Interrupting)
Now!
ALLISON, ANDREW and JESSICA step into the black light room.They look away from the dead bodies. Clip to OFFICER
DUNCAN walking up the stairs cautiously with his gun in his
hand, ready to shoot. He reaches the top of the staircase and turns
right. He is no longer seen. Clip back to the black light room.
JESSICA
(To ANDREW)
I cant believe you just let that man go off in the house alonewithout knowing all the details. He thinks one person mysteriously
died when really three have been killed!
ANDREW
You were keeping pretty quiet yourself, missy.
JESSICA
Thats because I thought youd be man enough to handle ityourself.
ANDREW
I am man enough. As a matter of a fact, Im going to join Officer
Duncan now.
ANDREW steps out of the room. JESSICA follows after him, trying
to stop him. ALLISON follows to try and stop the both of them
from leaving the room.
JESSICA
Stop this right now, Andrew!
28

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
29/33
ANDREW
You cant boss me around anymore, Jessica. Remember? We
broke up!
ALLISONYou guys, we should really do what the officer told us. Stay put.
Come on
ANDREW is about halfway up the stairs when OFFICER
DUNCANs body is thrown through the opening in the loft room
upstairs. JESSICA screams and ANDREW runs back down the
stairs.
They rush over to OFFICER DUNCAN on the floor and see a knife
sticking out of his back. They look up to the loft room and see a
shadow, but cant tell who (or what) the shadow is from.
ANDREW
And that would be my cue to leave.
JESSICARight behind you!
ANDREW and JESSICA rush towards the front door, unaware that
ALLISON isnt following them. ANDREW pulls open the front
door. MAX is standing there, with a gun in hand (real this time),
and a mischievous look on his face. Bum, bum, bum
JESSICA
Max?
ANDREW pulls JESSICA away from the door and turns around to
exit out the slider door. ALLISON is standing with a gun pointed
at them.

ANDREW
Allison? What are you...
ALLISON
(Interrupting)Sorry, good friends, but your time seems to have run out.
MAX, now inside, has ANDREW and JESSICA cornered.
JESSICA
You mean this whole time?
ANDREWThe two of you?
MAX
Yes, thats right.
JESSICA
But how?
ANDREW
And why?
MAX
The why is easy for fun. Merely kicks and giggles.
MAX laughs an evil laugh.
JESSICAThe how is a bit more complicated.
MAX
Yes. Just a bit. Please, have a seat while we explain.

8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
31/33
ALLISON and MAX motion for ANDREW and JESSICA to take a
seat on the couch while they tell their tale.
MAX (Cont.)
Deciding that I should be the first to die was my Maryswonderful idea. It would rule out any chance that you would
suspect either of us.
ALLISON
I was worried when Wendy realized Kyle was videotaping during
the black out, but thankfully, no one saw a thing.
MAXWe didnt plan the order in which we killed, we just saw
opportunities and took them. Much like now.
ALLISON
Very much like now.
MAX
So, goodbye, Andrew and
ANDREW
(Interrupting)
Wait! You cant be serious! Please let us
Before letting ANDREW finish, MAX shoots him twice in the chest
and laughs. JESSICA screams and starts to cry.
MAX(To ALLISON)
He was really annoying me, you know?
ALLISON
Annoying you? Ugh. And now, Jessica.
31
-
8/3/2019 Costume Party Script
32/33
ALLISON turns to JESSICA who is crying.
JESSICA
Please. Dont.
ALLISON
(Mocking)
Please. Dont. Haha. Goodbye.
ALLISON shoots JESSICA twice in the chest. ALLISON tosses her
gun onto JESSICA and MAX follows suit.
MAX brushes off his hands and holds out one for ALLISON.
MAX
Shall we?
