Cassandra's Death

The day before Halloween
[Cassandra and Billy come home from school]

Cassandra: I can't believe tomorrow is Halloween. I have to take you trick-or-treating.

Billy: Yeah.

Cassandra: What are you going as for Halloween?

Billy: I want to be a ghost!

Cassandra: I'm going as the Witch of the Webs.

Halloween store
[Peter takes Cassandra and Billy to a Halloween store]

Peter: Anything else you'd like?

Cassandra: I would like to go to the Costumes section please.

Peter: That's good.

[Cassandra goes to the Costumes section and gets the Witch of the Webs costume]

Peter: You want that?

Cassandra: Yes.

Billy: Let's go to the Trick-or-treat bags section!

Peter: Sure, Billy.

[Peter takes Billy and Cassandra to the Trick-or-treat bags section]

Billy: Oh, I want the ghost bag!

[Billy gets the white bag with a ghost's face]

Peter: You like that?

Billy: Yeah, it's from 1994 and from Rubies!

[Peter goes to the Candy section to get the bag of 3 Musketeers]

Peter: This seems neat, a bag of 3 Musketeers.

[Peter takes Cassandra and Billy to the cashier]

Cashier: What did you get?

Cassandra: I got Witch of the Webs

Billy: I got the ghost bag!

Peter: I got the bag of 3 Musketeers.

Cashier :That'd be 5 dollars.

Peter: Wow, it's a good thing you'll be handing out candy and trick-or-treating with your brother.

Cassandra: Thanks, dad.

Preparation
[Billy is in his room cutting holes in his own bedsheet]

Billy: Finally, I got a white sheet and scissors to make my own GHOST COSTUME!

[Billy is now finished, but puts it over his own head]

[Billy looks in the mirror]

Billy: Finally, I'm a ghastly phantom who haunts the halls at night! Looking for kids to scare!

Cassandra: Billy! Are you ready to go trick-or-treating?

Billy: Yes, Cassandra.

Cassandra: Okay.

[Cassandra opens the door]

Billy: BOO!

[Cassandra screams]

Cassandra: Oh my! A very scary ghost!

Billy: Like my costume?

Cassandra: Yes, but you had to go trick-or-treating with me.

Billy: AWESOME!

Peter: Ready to go trick-or-treating?

Billy: Sure am!

[Cassandra arrives in her Witch of the Webs costume]

Peter: Oh very spooky costumes.

Cassandra: thanks, dad.

Peter: Why don't you take your brother trick-or-treating while I go to a Halloween party okay?

Cassandra: That'd be fun.

[Peter leaves]

Cassandra: Come on, Billy. Let's go trick-or-treating!

Billy: YAY!

[Cassandra and Billy head out]

Cassandra takes Billy trick-or-treating
[Cassandra and Billy are outside with Cassandra carrying a flashlight]

Billy: What do you need that for?

Cassandra: In case it gets dark...

Billy: That's kinda spooky.

Cassandra: You don't want to go to my neighbor's house. He had an egg allergy.

[Three trick-or-treaters, dressed as a clown, a fairy and a 50s sock hop girl see a house]

'50s sock hop Trick-or-treater: Hey, wait a minute! What about that house?

Clown Trick-or-treater: Forget that house, let's go to this one.

[They leave]

Billy: I can't believe it. I want to go where there are full-size bars!

Cassandra: You have to go there later.

[Billy leaves]

Cassandra: BILLY! Where are you going?

[Cassandra goes after him]

[Billy goes to a house where four trick-or-treaters, a girl in a devil costume, a girl in an angel costume, a boy wearing a Dalmatian costume and an Asian child dressed as Mulan are shown at a house where a man dressed like Adam Sandler's character, Robbie Hart from The Wedding Singer hands out candy]

Billy: BOO!

[The trick-or-treaters scream and run off]

Cassandra: What an idiot...

[Cassandra walks behind Billy]

Cassandra: Billy! You have to stop running off and scaring all of these trick-or-treaters.

Man dressed as Robbie Hart: Why hello, look what we have here! A witch and a ghost!

[The man gives Billy candy]

Billy: Thank you.

[Cassandra sighs]

Cassandra: That's my brother, Billy. He ran off and scared four trick-or-treaters.

Man dressed as Robbie Hart: Oh my!

Cassandra: He loved scaring children on Halloween.

Man dressed as Robbie Hart: I see.

Cassandra: I would like to make sure that he doesn't scare the toddlers because that might make them cry.

Man dressed as Robbie Hart: Okay, Happy Halloween!

[Cassandra walks away]

Cassandra: You too.

[Cassandra holds Billy's wrist]

Cassandra: Come on, Billy. Try not to run off without me, okay?

Billy: Okay...

[Cassandra and Billy head to a haunted house attraction]

Billy: Cool, a haunted house attraction! I love haunted house attractions!

Cassandra: I know you do.

[A woman dressed as Elvira arrives]

Woman dressed as Elvira: Welcome to House of a Thousand Screams where all of your nightmares come true!

Billy: Woah...

[A loud scream is heard as Billy gets startled]

Billy: What was that?

Cassandra: It's just one of those haunted house sound effects.

Woman dressed as Elvira: You better beware of things that go BUMP in the night!

Billy: Awesome!

[A man dressed as a headless man appears]

Headless man: BOO!

[Billy jumps]

[Cassandra giggles]

Cassandra: He likes you.

Billy: Hey, at least he's friendly and harmless!

[As they walk towards the Haunted Halls, an overweight man appears wearing a white robe, white mask with eyeholes and white gloves as he rattles chains and moans]

Man dressed as a ghost (in an eerie, ghostly tone): ''Booooooo! BOOOOOOOOOOO!''

Billy: Hey, are you a ghost?

Man dressed as a ghost (in an eerie, ghostly tone): Yeeeees, I aaaaaaam...

Billy: Oh, trick-or-treat!

Man dressed as a ghost (in an eerie, ghostly tone): Oh myyyy, you're a spooooooky, scaaaaaary ghoooooost like meeeee!

Cassandra: That's Billy. He is a ghost this year.

Man dressed as a ghost (in an eerie, ghostly tone): Well, that's very spooky! I got a candy bowl right heeeeeere!

[They see a candy bowl with a hand]

Billy: Awesome!

[Billy reaches to the bowl as a hand grabs his as he screams and laughs]

Cassandra: Don't be afraid, just get the candy from the bowl!

[Billy reaches for the candy but a hand grabs him]

Billy: I'm trying but he is getting in my way!

Cassandra: Here, let me help you.

[Cassandra gets the candy from the bowl as a hand grabs her]

Cassandra: Oh! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. WHY IS THERE A HAND THERE?

Woman dressed as Elvira: Sorry about that, I brought it from the Halloween store. It was just a candy bowl with an animated hand.

Cassandra: Ah, I see.

[Cassandra grabs some candy into Billy's bag]

Billy: Thank you!

Heading home
[Cassandra and Billy head to their own house as she takes the bowl and opens the door]

Billy: Man this is awesome! I can't believe I went into that spooky haunted house attraction! My favorite part has to be the ghost!

Cassandra: I'm glad you liked it.

[Cassandra takes off the "JUST TAKE ONE" sign off the bowl]

Billy: Yeah, we even had Elvira, too!

Cassandra: Anything else?

Billy: There's the Feel of Fears boxes, the vampire, the zombie and the werewolf!

Cassandra: I can't believe I had to take you trick-or-treating!

Billy: Did I get any full-size bars?

Cassandra: Yes.

Billy: Candy corn, too?

Cassandra: I suppose so. Let me check.

[Cassandra checks Billy's ghost bag for full-size candy bars and candy corn]

Cassandra: Yup, definitely candy corn.

Billy: Awesome!

Cassandra: I want you to check your candy, okay?

Billy: Okay!

[Billy goes into the living room, puts the candy in the coffee table and unwraps a candy corn packet]

[Billy takes three pieces of candy corn and eats them]

[The doorbell rings]

Billy: Who was it?

[She puts a few pieces of Billy's candy in her bowl]

Cassandra: Might be trick-or-treaters.

[She opens the door to see three young trick-or-treaters; one trick-or-treater is a young Caucasian girl wearing a black witch hat, black dress, striped stockings and Converse sneakers. She is wearing green skin face paint and black wig with white streaks; one trick-or-treater is an overweight, young Hispanic boy wearing a white robe, white mask and white gloves; another trick-or-treater is also an Asian male but is lanky. He wears white face paint, gray eyeshadow, fake fangs and wears a vampire costume. They all carry pumpkin pails.]

Trick-or-treaters: Trick or treat!

Cassandra: Why hello there. Oh, look at you guys! You're very spooky but very cute! A spooky ghost, a very scary witch and a creepy vampire. Very frightening!

Ghost trick-or-treater: I'm Casper!

Cassandra: Oh, how horrifying!

[Cassandra gives the ghost trick-or-treater pieces of candy as a ghost trick-or-treater takes his ghost mask off]

Ghost trick-or-treater: The friendly ghost!

Cassandra: That's not scary enough. What about Wendy the Good Little Witch right there?

Witch trick-or-treater: I'm not Wendy the Good Little Witch, I'm the Wicked Witch of the West!

Cassandra: Oh, here you go.

[Cassandra gives the witch trick-or-treater pieces of candy]

Cassandra: And you must be the vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer right?

[Cassandra gives the vampire trick-or-treater pieces of candy]

Vampire trick-or-treater: I'm not a Buffy vampire, I'm Count Dracula!

[Billy runs towards the trick-or-treaters and sticks his arms out]

Billy: BOO!

[The trick-or-treaters scream and run off]

Cassandra: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO THE TRICK-OR-TREATERS?

Billy: Because I love scaring them.

Cassandra: They're just children!

The call
[Cassandra watches Halloweentown as the phone rings]

[She picks up and answers]

Cassandra: Hello?

Stranger: Why hello there.

Cassandra: Who are you?

Stranger: You don't know who I am, but have you checked your brother?

Cassandra: Yes I have.

Stranger: Well, good.

Cassandra: Where are the calls coming wrong?

Stranger: INSIDE THE HOUSE!

[She lets out of a scream]

[She runs upstairs and opens the closet to reveal a man wearing a white bedsheet with eyeholes]

[Billy hears screaming]

[He goes upstairs to find her corpse laying down]

[He screams]

[Billy comes downstairs and sees Peter arriving at home]

Billy: DAD!

Peter: What's wrong?

Billy: Cassandra's dead!

[Billy and Peter go upstairs]

[They see Cassandra dead]

Peter: OH MY GOD!

[Peter goes downstairs and calls the 911]

Peter: Hello?
