Lake Placid Page #2
A black water snake, it must be almost three feet in length.
RESUME:
Walt flippers himself closer, wants a closer look. The snake
seems unimpressed. Then suddenly, the snake lunges at him,
misses. Sh*t. Walt's look says "what the f***?" A beat. Then
the snake swims off. Walt relaxes. A beat. But then... he
looks around, uneasy. He gets this feeling he's not alone down
there. Looks about, nothing but murky water. But he's not
alone, we can feel he's not alone.
He looks left, right... then... four snakes, swimming, hovering,
looking back at him. What's with these snakes? Walt decides
he'll go back to the boat. Then... BOOM. Something hits him...
and it's no snake.
EXT. BOAT - CONTINUOUS
Keough. Oblivious. Waiting. Suddenly-- Walt comes thrusting
up with a scream!
WALT:
Sheriff!!
And Walt is promptly yanked back under.
KEOUGH:
Hey!
Upon which Walt surfaces. He swims frantically for a beat
before he's suddenly yanked under again. Then he surfaces,
thrashing as Keough speeds over with the boat. He takes hold of
him and pulls him on board. Actually... what's left of him.
There's nothing below the waist. Walt is just a bleeding torso,
though still conscious.

A DINOSAUR (T-Rex) is angry and out for blood.
REVEAL:
We're watching an old classic creature feature. FIND Kelly
alone, slowly eating popcorn, rapt, tense... watching the movie.
As the suspense builds, her hand freezes halfway between the
popcorn bag and her mouth.

The monster pursues its human victim.
ANGLE KELLY:
fear on her face.
ANGLE THE SCREEN
The monster makes its final surge, capturing its prey.
ANGLE KELLY:
as she screams with fear and delight. Her scream is only
partially muted by the shrieks of the other moviegoers.
After a beat, she calms, daring to eat popcorn again. Wearing
gullibility, vulnerability all over her face. Then from behind
a hand appears, taps her shoulder, causing her to let loose with
the most blood-curdling scream of all.
All the moviegoers turn to SEE... as will WE:
