House on Haunted Hill Page #3
BACK TO SCENE:
The SCREEN behind him goes black.
CHRISTOPHER LEE:
But our story doesn't end there. For,
some years later, the gutted interior
of the Institute was refurbished as a
private residence. It has yet to be
inhabited. Many say because the spirits
of the vile Vannacutt and his Victims
still walk the long corridors inside
this place now known, simply, as: "The
House On Haunted Hill."
A sudden SMASH of shrill, discordant HORNS scares us out of
our skin -- and behind Mr. Lee, an IMAGE is seen again:
EXT. THE HOUSE - NIGHT (TO BE SHOT AS PART OF A LATER SCENE)
...high atop a bluff, swaddled in shadows cast by a full moon
that seems to have one of Vannacutt's eyes piercing down on
it.
WOMAN'S VOICE (O.S.)
Charming.
INT. ROLLS ROYCE LIMOUSINE - TRAVELING - DAY
CAMERA PULLS BACK FROM A SMALL WALNUT SHROUDED TELEVISION
SET... revealing a savagely beautiful young woman, EVELYN
STOCKARD-PRICE, sitting like the queen of f***ing-England in
the back of her limousine. She's been watching all this on
the 12" TV set inside the limousine, a look of perverse
amusement on her face.
ON THE TV:
Mr. Lee smiles for the CAMERA.CHRISTOPHER LEE:
I'm Christopher Lee. More of
"Terrifying, But True" in just a
moment --
EVELYN:
No need, baby.
She zaps the TV dead with a button on the armrest.
EVELYN:
You just gave me exactly what I needed.
She reaches for the phone.
A beeping CELL PHONE is retrieved from a coat pocket, punched
to life, and brought up to the lips of
STEVEN PRICE - a 30ish bespectacled man.
While not handsome in the classical sense, he still exudes an
incredible appeal -- the kind that comes from incredible self-
confidence, more money than God, and the most maniacal
imagination in recorded history.
PRICE:
(into phone)
Price.
(listens; sarcastic)
Evelyn, how nice...
(beat, listens)
Well, that is fascinating -- but I'm
gonna have to get back to you -- they're
trying to shoot me here.
