EXT. THE WOODS- NIGHT

Joey and his dad Michael are preparing to rest for the night in their cabin after a long day on the lake fishing. They have the family dog Max with them (A golden retriever). As they approach the house, Michael notices that Max is sniffing a silvery substance on the ground leading under the front porch and does not want to go near the cabin. Max begins to sneeze and rub his nose on the ground.

MICHAEL:

Hey Joey, ah …..Just drop the fish in the cooler on the porch and take Max inside.

JOEY:

Which cooler Dad? There are two you know. Come on.. Max.

Joey has to pull Max into the cabin. The dog is really worried. "Wining".

MICHAEL:

The empty one…

As Michael examines the silvery substance on the ground with his hand very concerned. He immediately notices a very bad smell. Something moves in the woods behind him, while something under the porch watches him. Michael quickly turns his head to the left, then forward looking curiously under the porch.

MICHAEL (CONT’D)

(Slightly nervous)

I'll put ice in the cooler before I come in and start some popcorn, we'll watch a movie.

Joey comes back to the edge of the front porch

JOEY:

What are you doing Dad?

MICHAEL:

Just go back inside and stay there. I'll be right in.

JOEY:

Come on Dad..

MICHAEL:

(Forcefully)

Just do what I told you. Go on now.

INT. INSIDE THE CABIN- NIGHT

Max the dog is really irritated and scratches frantically at the door barking. A strange charcoal creature suddenly appears from under the porch directly in Michael's face… Michael becomes bright eyed and petrified with fear. Michael falls backwards to ground as he kicks at the creature. The creature lunges forward and scratches him on the right side of his face. Other creatures approach rapidly from the woods and begin to assault Michael. Michael struggles to get them off as he makes his way to the front steps of the front porch.

Mean while, Joey is in the kitchen preparing popcorn unknowing of what is going on outside. Max however, is pawing at the front door and heavily barking.
