SIDNEY:

I got it.

She stands and moves to...

HALLIE:

her roommate and friend. An attractive young black woman. Twenty at most. Brazen. Fun.

Full of life. She hands the phone to Sidney.

HALLIE:

Knock yourself out.

SIDNEY:

Hello?

(silence)

Hello?

VOICE:

Hello Sidney.

A VOICE spits out of the phone. Deep and haunting. Sidney doesn't flinch.

SIDNEY:

Yes?

VOICE:

What's your favorite scary movie?

SIDNEY:

Who is this?

VOICE:

You tell me.

Sidney grabs a small device hooked to the phone. She takes a look at its display.

SIDNEY:

Cory Gillis. 442-8730.

Silence.

SIDNEY (cont'd)

Hot flash, Cory--prank phone calls are a criminal offense prosecuted under penal code 653M...

CLICK! The phone goes dead.

SIDNEY (CONT'D)

Enjoy the movie.

She hangs the phone up, turning to Hallie.

HALLIE:

Time to change numbers again?

SIDNEY:

Nah...I think it'll die off. It's opening weekend. Let's see how it goes.

Sidney grabs her robe and shower bucket as Hallie channel surfs. Various morning news programs

are on their small TV. Snippets are heard.

REPORTER:

(from TV) "..The two victims, Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens..."

The channel switches. A YOUNG MAN is being interviewed. Attractive, sullen. Sad.

YOUNG MAN (from TV)

Please, I just wanna be left alone.

His voice stops Sidney cold. She turns to the television.

HALLIE:

He sure gives a lot of interviews for someone who wants to be left alone.

Hallie hits the remote. The man's image disappears as the TV goes off. Hallie turns, all smiles.

HALLIE:

Get your ass in gear. You're late. Don't forget we've got rush at the Deltas tonight. Don't

wear anything you don't want trashed. Sid? Sid?

Sidney turns from the television. Momentarily lost. Recovery is immediate.

SIDNEY:

I can't believe I let you talk me into going Greek.

Sid moves to the door and throws it open. A GHOST FIGURE LEAPS at her. She SCREAMS but then

stops herself.

It's just a costume hung from her doorframe. Preset, to scare. Another prank. Sidney rips it

down, turns to Hallie, throwing the costume at her.

SIDNEY:

Pumps. Nice handbag. Whaddya think?

Sid is surprisingly cool. She exits out the door, leaving Hallie staring at the Ghost Mask

in her hands.

CUT TO:

EXT. DORMITORY - MORNING - LITTLE LATER

Sid steps outside of her dorm. The morning sun shines down as Sid breathes in, taking in the

day just as FIFTY NEWS REPORTERS NOB HER.

REPORTER #2

Sidney, did you know the victims?

REPORTER #1

Do you feel responsible for the murders?

SIDNEY:

What murders?

Microphones are shoved in her face as Sidney is seiged upon by journalists and TV cameras.

She starts to panic.

REPORTER #3

Do you think there will be more murders?
