HOOVER (Voice Over)

It was about two weeks later when Jeremy

Janks, a Senior at Fallsville North, killed

his entire family.

CUT TO:

INTERIOR – JANKS’ HOME – DAY

TRACKING SHOT begins in Mark Janks’ bedroom where he lies dead and bloody on the floor. SHOT CONTINUES as we track out of Mark Janks’ bedroom into the hallway towards the back door where John Janks, Jeremy and Mark’s father, lies, also dead from stabbing. SHOT CONTINUES as we go downstairs to find Marge Janks, Jeremy and Mark’s mother, at the bottom of the stairs, literally covered in blood and lifeless. The CAMERA TRACKS back up the stairs and out towards the garage, where a 1980 Chevrolet roars out and down the driveway. The car speeds off as it hits the street.

CUT TO:

INTERIOR – 1980 CHEVROLET – DAY

JEREMY JANKS, a teenage boy of about 17, is driving very fast down the street. He is crying, and he wipes his eyes with a bloody sleeve which ends up obscuring his vision even more. He tries frantically to clear his vision.

CUT TO:

EXTERIOR – FALLSVILLE STREETS – DAY

A beautifully restored 1968 Ford Mustang is idling at a light. The 1980 Chevrolet comes roaring down the street towards it.

CUT TO:

INTERIOR – FORD MUSTANG – DAY

WILL HAYNES, a 24-year old man in jeans and a t-shirt, looks up into his rear view mirror and sees Jeremy Janks bearing down on him in the Chevrolet.

WILL HAYNES

Whoa!

Will Haynes dives out the driver’s side door.

CUT TO:

EXTERIOR – FALLSVILLE STREETS – DAY

Will Haynes dives out of the Mustang and scrambles for the sidewalk. The 1980 Chevrolet smashes into the back of the stationary Mustang and they both immediately burst into flames. A number of people run up, several of them helping Will Haynes. A woman begins to scream. The police arrive. Jeremy Janks does not leave the burning car; he does not survive.
