We see the Methodist church (and the parsonage next door);

Andy's Sporting Goods; Owen's Pub, with its Narragansett

neon sign. We see a barber shop with a striped pole; we see

the Holy Family Catholic Church and the rectory next door.

We see the Gem Theater, which is showing a revival of Sophia

Loren in "Two Women."

It's Our Town, U.S.A.

JANE (voice-over)

This place is Tarker's Mills, where I

grew up... and this is how it was when I

was fourteen - a place where people cared

about each other as much as they cared

about themselves. This is how my town

looked as, all unknowing, it approached the

rim of the nightmare. The killing had begun.

SOUND:
The HOWL of the WEREWOLF - distant, a bit dreamy.

EXT./INT. TARKER'S MILLS MONTAGE NIGHT

a.) VIRGIL CUTTS, owner of Virgil's Texaco, is filling up a

car. We hear the HOWl... and VIRGIL looks up uneasily.

b.) In the barber shop, BILLY McCLAREN, the barber, is just

taking the apron off the Methodist minister, REV. O'BANION.

They both look around.

c.) Folks are coming out of the Gem Theater. They pause at

the sound of that HOWL and look toward the edge of town.

EXT. THE SETTING MOON, CU NIGHT

As JANE speaks, we see the moon sink below the horizon.

JANE (v-o)

The killing had begun, but at first no

one knew it. Arnie Westrum was a chronic

drunk, and what happened seemed like an

accident.

EXT. THE RAIL-RIDER AND ARNIE'S HEADLESS BODY NIGHT

Slowly the view improves, grows lighter, as we TIME-LAPSE TO

DAWN.

SOUND:
A train is approaching. We hear its horn.

CAMERA MOVES IN. Here is a shattered Rheingold bottle. There

is a litter of ARNIE'S tools. And here, on the cheek of

ARNIE'S severed head, a few ants are checking things out.

SOUND:
The train's horn, MUCH CLOSER.

JANE (v-o)

The county coroner concluded that Arnie

passed out on the tracks. There wasn't

enough evidence to conclude anything else.

And suddenly the train comes smashing into the frame, horn

blaring. The rail-rider goes flying. ARNIE'S body disappears

underneath. We see something flopping and moving under

there. It could be a bundle of rags. Could be... but isn't.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. TARKER'S MILLS TOWN COMMON DAY

The common is more or less in the center of town, either

surrounded by Main Street commerce or backed by it. THE

CAMERA MOVES SLOWLY IN on a big tent that's been erected on

the Common - looks like a revival meeting tent, almost, but

the banner draped over the entrance reads: SUPPORT THE

TARKER'S MILLS MEDCU DRIVE!
