--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FADE IN:
'Dark Night' by The Blasters begins to play.. after the first riff, it suddenly changes into Muzak music ala Dawn of The Dead. OVER BLACK.
TITLE CARD:
When there's no more room in Darkness... The Undead shall Stalk the Light...
OVER THIS, we hear generic video game sounds, the clanking of pinballs, beer mugs clanking, and natural chatter.
FADE OUT:
CU: Shaun. Not much different than we last saw him. He's grown a bit of a beard now, but otherwise has that same look of immeadiate curiousity in his eyes. His vision shifts from directly at us to behind him. We PULL OUT to reveal his location.
INT. ARCADE, LIVERPOOL, DAY.
CU: Hands. Shaun's hands, fighting furiously at the controls of an arcade box game.
CU: Shaun. Our same view as before, but now our view of him is obscured by plexiglass, part of the machine, mirror-images of a Mortal-Kombat style game block our full view, but he seems to be losing and curses under his breath.
SHAUN
Not much different than our usual game, eh, Ed?
PAN OUT
Ed plays at the machine beside him. This time he's completely human.
ED
Yeah, you can actually win this time.
SHAUN
Ah, fuck you.
ED
What's that supposed to mean? You want to go, chops?
SHAUN
(chuckles) I'd rather not.. (throws his hands away from the controls) Because you've just won.. again.
ED
Call me lucky, Mate.
SHAUN
I'd rather call you-
BANG. The windows behind them shatter. People behind them until now were out of focus, and now the famous Wilhelm Scream blocks the rest of the audio as they rush for the exits.
INT. WINDOW
Zombies crawl in, moaning, pale flesh and wide eyes glowing strangely in the milky blue lights of the arcade.
SHAUN
Fuck! Fuck!
ED
Run!
They start for the door and stop when suddenly a large board slides into place in front of them, blocking it. A figure recognizable as their old Flatmate, Peter slides into view, one arm around the board and inaudible moans turn to words.
PETER
Dinner is served..
The zombies around them change, standing and hiss, gray smoke plumes surround them, and when they vanish, instead they're surrounded by vampires.
ED
Die, you bloody peckers!
He grabs a discarded beer mug and throws it against the head of the nearest vampire. It shatters on contact, leaving bloody bits of glass imbedded into the creature's scaly skin, but in a slow CGI effect, the creature morphs into an almost complete human form recognizeable as SANTANICO PANDEMONIUM. She bares her long pointed fangs with a soft groan.
SANTANICO
Just the two I've been killing to eat..
The crowd surrounding them gets closer. They spin back-to-back, lost for words.
SHAUN
Ed?
ED
Yeah?
SHAUN
Will you stop already? I'm not laughing.
He wrinkles his nose in disgust.
ED
Looks like I have to stop now.. (laughes uneasily)
Two pairs of arms grasp each of the men and lift them. At first they're unharmed as if being carried from a rock stage, but it ceases as soon as fangs sink in, spraying the camera with blood and all we hear is a final, bloodcurdling scream..
LIZ (VO)
Shaun! Time for work!
SHAUN (VO)
Ugh, just a few more, hun, I'm bloody tired..
LIZ (VO)
This should wake you up..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FADE INTO: Shaun's POV
A pair of red lips descend into the middle of the camera, the rest of the face fading into focus. It's LIZ, just as we left her, but with a usual morning look that could use a good cup of tea to fix.
CU: Shaun.
His eyes widen and he jumps up. Liz laughs. Shaun nearly gags.
SHAUN
What the hell?
LIZ
You didn't enjoy that?
He sits up.
SHAUN
I didn't say THAT, Love... and I'm not due up for another hour..
We get a good look at Liz now. But as we pan to her, we pass the bedside table, which is littered with empty bottles of blue raspberry syrup and kippers.
LIZ
You need to feed Ed and get to the market, I need more kippers..
SHAUN
Tell our kid to give it a rest, will you? They kick so hard I can feel them at night.. wakes me up every bloody half hour.
He grumbles and gets up. He's already dressed in a rumpled suit, that he fell asleep in, he starts for the door, the camera stays on Liz.
LIZ
You'll wish for now when you're changing diapers!
