I Wrote An Entire Season - Interest Reading

Really? Sorry, was not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. Sometimes I mis-read what people write. Thank you.

True, many places I have researched want you to have had something produced before they accept it. And to get something Produced you need an agent. It seems like a catch 22 sort of a deal. I did send something to Ryan Murphy Productions, but I am sure they get s THOUSANDS of letters a day. But, like you said....it cannot hurt. Thank you for response. I am going to post the beginning parts of some of the episodes. I wrote 14 episodes, and, I tried to somehow attach all of them (and some characters) to the other season (excluding the recent one on TV).

tl;dr. Sorry dude

[deleted]

that was great ken!!! definitely feels a little cliche at moments but it was creepy for sure and i thoroughly enjoyed the read. I also write scripts!! i have a few different ideas for AHS seasons and I want to make them into reality so this felt pretty inspirational... keep working on it!! And yeah it doesn't necessarily have to be for AHS, it could be an individual thing as well.

Thank you here is next part. "7"

BLACK SCREEN

As the screen comes up from BLACK we hear Peggy Screaming and a faint SMACKING SOUND. This is the sound of Alexander coldcocking Aaron with his gun.

ALEXANDER (V.O.)
Well isn’t this a pickle.

INT. ALEXANDER SEWING ROOM – DAY

WE pull back from the window looking out onto Alexander’s front yard. There are multiple screams and yells, nothing discernable. We PULL back from window and hear a sewing machine and a naked pale figure sewing ‘something’ together. The figure (CUPID) is humming a distorted version of ‘It’s a Fine Day’. WE PULL BACK farther to see the entire backside of the figure that is naked. Pulsing through its skin are bulging blood red veins connected together like a spider’s web.

There are various items scattered throughout the room from different sized Owl statues to boxes overflowing with papers. Through all the clutter we do see cameras hanging from the ceilings. Various styles of posters hang around the room from Margaret Keanes Happy Mask, Unhappy Boy (1963) to a movie poster for ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (1974). The most disturbing poster is the one hanging over the sewing machine. The poster is a depiction of adults sacrificing their children to the demon god ‘Moloch’. Next to that stapled poorly to the wall is the Serenity Prayer & calendar that says ‘Milton’s Paradise Lost’.

As WE COME in to a side view of the figure we can see the hands are dirty and covered in scabs and the finger nails have been removed. Moving up the arm there are hundreds of track marks. Still humming the creature picks a scab off its arm and lowers it down to an open box near his chair.

We follow the blood dripped scab down and just as the fingers would disappear into the box, something jumps and grabs the scab out of the fingers quickly. The box moves around furiously. Something inside is very hungry. As we come closer to the box, we hear small sounds of movement. CUPID slowly lowers his hand down again this time holding a red rabbit’s foot. He moves the rabbit foot around in a circular motion. Then out of the box come two long legs covered in course hair, like tiny needles. Then two more legs reach out for the foot. The four legs wrap around and clutch the rabbit’s foot and Cupids fingers. Finally the rest of the legs come out from the walls of the box. Cupid grunts and laughs like a child, we still do not see Cupids face.

But the spider, now out and crawling up Cupids arm with the rabbits foot dangling from its tiny machete sharp fangs has the length of a daddy long leg, yet the hair of a tarantula. Inside the box we get a full view of cat sized spiders living area, which is covered by a type of spinning web, the kind of web created only by a Scytodes, the spitting spider. Cupid grunts and strokes the spider like a cat as the spider purchases on his shoulder like a bird.
Suddenly we hear someone storming down a hallway towards the sewing room. The large spider leaps onto the sewing desk as Cupid scrambles for a burlap sack on the floor. Cupid is frightened.

BIG MOMMA (O.S.)
(Angry)
Cupid! Cupid! You better have your hat on.

Cupid quickly gets the burlap sack on his head we get a glimpse of the bottom portion of Cupids face. Like the rest of his body is pale like an albino, but, his lips and tongue have been removed. This is why he spits on everything and cannot talk. All we can see are rotted teeth, some like Alexanders chiseled down...to eat meat.

BIG MOMMA (O.S.)
You better not be messin with those spiders again.

Cupid gently puts the spider in the box and takes back the rabbit’s foot. As he closes the box he pets her one more time. Closing up the box it reads MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY – S. LINK EXPEDITION – NEW ARACHNID SPECIES. The rest of the label is torn.

A very large woman, BIG MOMMA comes stomping into the room. Between her weight and clubbed foot always give her away. Big Momma is a domineering woman who loves wigs and classic movies. You can tell her mood by the wig she is wearing. And today she is wearing her Joan Crawford Bouffant Wig. Big Momma is not happy as she looks out a window facing an enclosed yard. She screams out the window at someone we do not see and pulls the drapes.

BIG MOMMA
Cornucopia gets off that roundabout and leaves those boys alone!

Then Big Momma stops and turns dragging her club foot against the floor past the Spider box toward Cupid huddled in the corner shaking. There is one whole for an eye and Cupid cannot take his eye off that club foot. Big Momma was dragging her foot like a baseball player up to bat.

BIG MOMMA
(Deep and Low)
And you, you putrid little toad. You let her out didn’t you?


As we close in on Cupids eye shaking and tears coming out. He mutters and grunts like scared child holding onto the rabbits foot for dear life.


BIG MOMMA
You kids will be the death of me.


Cupid lifts his hands to protect his face and the rabbit’s foot hangs dangling from a finger. Big Momma swings her leg and CRASH.

SCREEN GOES BLACK

ROLL CREDITS

FADE IN:

INT. DINER – DAY

A FLASH OF LIGHT

The CAMERA very slowly PULLS BACK. The sparkling surface turns out to be many carats. We see the stone, then the ring, and then suddenly, something sweeps by.

REVEAL a mechanical claw above the ring, hanging from a crane. The ring sits in a sea of miniature freak dolls, fake bloody eyeballs, and other carnival junk.

The claw descends on the ring again and again, sometimes catching it for a moment then tragically dropping it.

WILLOW & HARPER (O.S.)
Ooo...Ahh...

INTERCUT with the HANDS of a young man working the controls (ASH), and another guy's HANDS (IMPULSE) digging in his pocket for change.

Impulse puts more QUARTERS going into the slot.

WILLOW
Almost honey.


IMPULSE
Last of the quarter’s man.

The claw inadvertently snags a RED rabbit's foot. Ash grabs the rabbit’s foot and hands it to Willow.

ASH
So sorry Wil.

HARPER
(Mocking)
Oh so sad.

Willow kisses Ash on the lips.

WILLOW
I could not love anything more. Matches your eyes.


HARPER
Are they real or fake?

Willow examines the foot.

WILLOW
Fake I hope.

HARPER
(Laughs)
His eyes, not the rabbit foot.

WE follow the four teenagers outside to their CAMPER VAN.

IMPULSE
Your turn to drive bro.

Impulse throws the keys to Ash. The group gets in the gaily decorated ‘Scooby-Doo style’ camper-van.

HARPER
What time is it?

ASH
Little after 12 noon.

IMPULSE
Nervous Wil? This time tomorrow you’ll meet her.

Willow shakes her head yes.


HARPER
Wonder why she didn’t send you a picture. Oh wait! What if she is rich?

WILLOW
I cannot wait to meet her.

Ash starts the Van and grabs Willows hand.

ASH
It’s going to be great Wil.

As they pull away we see across the street is THE LONG PIG BAR & GRILL but it is closed. A few cars litter the parking lot of the bar.
FADE TO:

EXT. HIGHWAY – DAY

The camper van passes a sign shaped like Minnesota that reads ‘MINNESOTA WELCOMES YOU’. We hear rock ‘n roll coming from the radio as this much-in-need-of-repair vehicle honks the horn entering a new state.

IMPULSE
Goodbye Iowa!

CUT TO:

INT. CAMPER VAN
Everyone except Ash passes around and tokes on a joint.

LATER:

At the wheel Ash, a 23-year-old whose well-developed upper body is a tribute to his strict weight lifting. Ash is handsome, kind, and honest and is in a relationship with Willow.

Sleeping in the passenger seat is Willow, Ash’s girlfriend. Willow is a very shy and quiet girl. Wears very little makeup and brings no attention to herself. She recently received a letter from a woman claiming to be her mother. That is what this trip is for. Willows mother lives in Red Lake Falls Minnesota.

In the back sleeping is Impulse, an athlete whose clean-cut look is as American as Apple Pie. Impulse is the same age as Ash and is highly intelligent. Impulse considers himself a hacker just like his girlfriend Harper.

Harper is the funny girl, average looks, and always looking for fun. Harper enjoys every minute of every day. Nothing bad ever happens to Harper.

INT. CAMPER VAN – DUSK

Outside the sun has fallen behind rain clouds in the East and dense fog rolls in. Ash can only see two to three car lengths ahead and is now on back roads.

In the back of the Camper Van Impulse moves his hand slowly down Harpers shirt.

HARPER
Sex is all you ever think about.

Impulse says nothing.

HARPER
Don’t play possum with me.

She flips over and begins tickling Impulse.

IMPULSE
(Laughing)
Hey, stop I think of lots of things.

HARPER
Like what?

Long pause.

HARPER
Exactly.

Willow wakes up.

HARPER
Are we there yet?

WILLOW
(To Ash)
We close? How long was I a sleep?

ASH
(Worried)
You were all out for hours. We should be there by now.

WILLOW
What do you mean?

Ash taps the GPS Navigator as if that will help it work.

ASH
It just stopped working.

WILLOW
Is it plugged in?

ASH
Of course it is Wil.

Ash is sweating so profusely he rolls down his window.

WILLOW
Yeah.

Ash slows down the Camper Van and comes to the Paved/Dirt road intersection.

ASH
We’re here.

WILLOW
(Excited)
We are?

Headlight beams break through the thick fog coming from the direction of Alexander’s house. It is Old Man Egan.
The Old Man stops at the corner and looks at the Camper Van. Ash doesn’t move.

IMPULSE
(To Ash)
Ahhh dude what are you waiting for?

ASH
(Nervous to Willow)
You want to come back in the morning?

WILLOW
What? No, why would I turn around?

HARPER
Yeah, we’re here. Yes! And I have to pea!

IMPULSE
Me too.
Impulse and Harper get out of the Camper Van behind a row of trees.

WILLOW
Are you alright?
Ash shakes his head yes. Willow gets out as well. Ash begins to open up his door when...

OLD MAN EGAN slams the door shut and scares Ash.

OLD MAN EGAN
What are you doing here?

Ash says nothing and begins to roll up the window. The Old man puts his hand on the window to stop it.

OLD MAN EGAN
You turn around now. (TO ASH) Make it right. Turn around son. Make it right.

Harper and Impulse get in the other side followed by Willow.

IMPULSE
Hey man you got to go? Do it now.

Ash turns back and the Old Man is walking back to his truck.

WILLOW
What did he want?

ASH
Nothing. Get in; it is going to be a cold night.

HARPER
Let’s stay at a motel.

ASH
They don’t have anything like that here.

WILLOW
How do you know?

ASH
(Stuttering)
He just told me. And, we are not far.

Willow smiles and calmly rubs Ash’s leg while leaning in and kissing him.

WILLOW
You are the best.

Ash watches Old Man Egan do a U-turn and go back the way he came. As the Camper Van pulls past the sign we can see the shadow of what look like children running through the fog.

CUT TO:

EXT. RED LAKE FALLS MAIN STREET – NIGHT

Lamp post light the short main road of Red Lake Falls. Various flying insects circle the flickering lights.

HARPER
Wow, so you were born here Wil?
WILLOW
I have no idea where I was born.

The group looks out the windows at the various businesses that line the street. Everything is closed up; there is no one around until a small child runs in front of the van. Ash hits the breaks and the child disappears as quickly as they appeared. The girls scream.

ASH
(To Willow)
You alright?

WILLOW
Yes. Did we hit them?
ASH
No. Maybe we should park...

Just then hands come down on the front driver’s side of the van. It is the priest. Everyone screams.

CUT TO:

INT. CHURCH – NIGHT

The four young adults sit at a wooden table in the back of the church. The church is very clean and there are 14 stain glass windows, seven on each side, which are 12 feet high and 6 feet across. They each represent a station of the cross. Two of the windows have been broken and have wood coverings. Each window is a very detailed station of the cross. The girls look at the one closest to them, the last one. “Jesus Rose from the Dead” is written in Latin.

A nun sets down a tray with tea and cookies for them. The nun says nothing. The nun is part of the “Sister of the Annunciation”. Her habit is white, with a red scapular and a black veil.

PRIEST
Thank you sister.

The nun says nothing. She smiles and leaves. The nun appears to float away. The Priest looks right at Ash.

PRIEST
What are you doing ba..?

ASH
(Interrupts)
We’re here to find…

WILLOW
(Interrupts – Happy)
My mom.

The Priest eyes grow and stare down Ash. Willow hands the Priest the piece of paper she received in the mail. Harper looks through a crack in one of the broken windows. She is trying to make out the figures and shapes outside.

CUT TO:

EXT. CHURCH CEMETARY – NIGHT – HARPERS P.O.V.

The fog seems to move like a snake around the cemetery tombstones. The cemetery only has only about 40 to 50 tombstones of all sizes and is almost surrounded by Pine trees.

There is an archway near the front of the church. Harper thought it odd no one noticed it when coming in. It reads ‘PINE FALLS CEMETARY’.

A different nun steps outside holding a bucket of something and begins tossing what appears to be raw meat. We see glimpses of small animal type creatures rummaging through the fog. They are barely more than silhouettes. We see flashes of TEETH, and GLEAMING EYES; glimpses of naked, patterned flesh. The nun turns toward HARPER, this nun is different, and this nun has the face of a man, a blind man. Their eyes are white with cataracts.

HARPER falls back aghast.

IMPULSE
Hey babe you alright.

PRIEST
Please come away from the windows. As you can see they are easily breakable.

Harper pulls Impulse to the window.

HARPER
Look. Do you see them? Him?

Impulse looks out and sees nothing.

PRIEST
(Firmer)
Please come away from the windows.

Impulse walks over to the table and begins scarfing down cookies. Harper looks at one of the stain glass windows not broken. Small creatures are sprinkled among the stain glass windows artwork.

HARPER
What are these?

Referring to the creatures not the windows.

Harper keeps looking around at the windows for more of the small pale humpback creatures.

PRIEST
The windows are a story of a savior. A savior who died for all of our sins.

HARPER
Not the windows...these...


She points to the small stained glass creature in the window artwork.


HARPER
I saw this outside. Just now the nun in drag was feeding them.


PRIEST
I must apologize for Sister Francine. Her appearance can be frightening, but I can assure you she was doing no such thing. She has a kind heart and a love for all animals hence her namesake St. Francis of Assisi.

Impulse keeps pounding down the cookies

IMPULSE
(Mouth full)
These are good.

PRIEST
You should swallow before you speak.

IMPULSE
That’s funny coming from a Priest.

Impulse pulls Harper down next to him. The Priest returns Willows letter and stands and walks over to the same window Harper was at.

The Priest looks out at the moon and sighs. In a defeated voice he shakes his head and turns to the group of kids.
PRIEST
Miss, I am sorry to say, but this town, it’s dead. There are only a few families who still live around here. And, I know them all. The name in this letter is unfamiliar to me.

WILLOW
Well, we are here and there is the Peacock Diner which she said she is going to meet us at tomorrow morning.

PRIEST
Well, at least allow me to be hospitable and give you all sanctuary tonight.

The Priest looks directly at Ash in a defeated voice.

PRIEST
After tonight there is nothing else I can do.

WILLOW
Ok, so do we sleep in the pews?

PRIEST
(Calls out)
Sister Mary. We have a room that was once used as an infirmary. In the basement.

Impulse picks up Harper.


IMPULSE
Lead the way Garson.


PRIEST
Please show some respect. This is still a place of God.

IMPULSE
(Sexual tone to Harper)
Then we will talk to God.

CUT TO:


INT. INFIRMARY – NIGHT

Out of the darkness we hear Harper and Impulse making love.

HARPER
(In ecstasy)
Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!

Harper and Impulse scream in ecstasy and finish. We hear the sound of a match strike. And light emits from the small lantern next to them on the floor.

As the room lights up more we can see the kids took the single mattress off the beds and laid them on the floor next to each other. Ash and Willow appear to be a sleep next to each other with headphones on.

HARPER
(Quietly)
Doesn’t this seem weird?

IMPULSE
What do you mean?

HARPER
(Thinking)
Let me finish before you say anything.

Harper looks over at Ash and Willow again.

IMPULSE
Ok, I will wait until you are done.

HARPER
Ever since Wil got that letter... Ash has been acting different...


IMPULSE
(Interrupting)
How so?

Harper puts her hand up to Impulses mouth.

HARPER
(Whispering)
Let me finish. I don’t know how, just different. He told me the day after she got the letter that he did not want to come. Then on the way here he kept getting lost. I think he was doing it on purpose. Then that weird Indian guy, and then those things I saw outside. The Priest acting all strange, and this basement, what is that smell? It is like a set-up in a really bad horror movie.

Impulse looks at her waiting.

IMPULSE
Are you done? Safe to talk? And we just had sex in a church, so what? We die?

Harper gets up with the light sniffing an odd odor.

IMPULSE
I will take that as a yes. Who cares Harper? Let’s just have fun. Come back to bed It is a basement, they smell.

Harper tries to open a few doors on the other side of the room, but they are all locked. Finally one door opens and there is a spiral stair case leading down. A pungent odor emits from that room. Harper cannot see any further than a few feet.

HARPER
Hey come here and check out this stair case.

Impulse mocks her as he puts on headphone.


IMPULSE
Go check it out. They would never do that in a scary movie.

Impulse rolls over as Harper turns and shuts the door. As Harper gets under the covers we see Ash

Hello, I know IMDB is getting rid of their boards soon. I am going to create a American Horror Story - Heritage Facebook Fan Page for the entire script soon. Thank you.
