OPENING TITLE CREDIT: “A HALLOWEEN TO REMEMBER”
INT. SYBIL’S HOUSE - BEDROOM. NIGHT.
Sybil rises into frame and roars loudly. She is wearing a Simba costume. She leaps off the bed and runs about, roaring loudly. An offscreen figure - her mother - comes in, holding a Simba trick or treat bucket.
SYBIL’S MUM
(chuckles)
Alright, calm down, my little wild thing. Are you ready to go trick or treating?
SYBIL
You bet I am.
SYBIL’S MUM
I’ve got your trick or treat bucket all ready.
Sybil’s mum’s hand moves into frame and hands the trick or treat bucket over to Sybil.
SYBIL
Thanks.
SYBIL’S MUM
Now let’s go and get some candy!
SYBIL
Yay!
Sybil follows after her mum out the bedroom door.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. STREETS. NIGHT.
Two children dressed as a pirate and a werewolf knock on the door of one house. A kindly neighbour answers and is surprised to see them.
TWO CHILDREN
Trick or treat!
The neighbour hands them some candy.
ZOOM OUT TO:
Sybil and her mum, making their way down the street.
SYBIL
This is going to be so exciting, I can’t wait!
SYBIL’S MUM
I wonder what treats you’ll get, Sybil?
SYBIL
Depends on which house I visit.
Sybil and her mum approach a white house with a thatched roof and a white door. Sybil runs up to it and knocks quickly.
SYBIL’S MUM
Alright, not too quickly.
One of the neighbours, a kindly old woman called Mrs Ada, answers.
SYBIL
RAAAAAARRRRR!!! Trick or treat!
MRS ADA
(chuckles)
Well, if it isn’t young Sybil dressed as a lion.
SYBIL
It’s Simba, actually. The Lion King is my favourite film!
MRS ADA
Mine too. I’ve got some yummy treats lined up for you.
Mrs Ada goes inside to fetch the candy bowl. When she does return, Sybil gets excited. She places lots of candy into her trick or treat bucket, including some Lion King chocolate lollies.
MRS ADA
There now. What do you think?
SYBIL
Wow! Lion King chocolate lollies?! Thanks!
MRS ADA
I’m glad you like them. Happy Halloween!
Mrs Ada shuts the door and goes inside.
SYBIL’S MUM
Well fancy that! Lion King chocolate lollies! What a lucky girl you are.
Sybil giggles. Suddenly, she hears three voices calling:
LUKE/RESUS/CLEO
(O.S.)
Trick or treat!
Sybil looks around and sees three strange yet familiar children - Luke, a normal boy who is actually a werewolf, Resus the (almost) vampire and Cleo the 4,000 year old Egyptian mummy outside a door, being handed treats by the neighbours. Sybil runs up the path just as Luke and his friends are going in her direction.
SYBIL
STOP!
The three stop, and recognise Sybil.
CLEO
Hey, we know you from somewhere.
SYBIL
I know you too. Let me guess…hmmmm…OH! You must be the stars of Scream Street!
LUKE
I’m Luke.
RESUS
I’m Resus.
CLEO
And I’m Cleo. Pleased to meet you.
SYBIL
So…are you actually kids in costume or just real monsters?
RESUS
We’re real monsters actually.
SYBIL
Wow! I have never met real monsters before. Why have you come here?
LUKE
It’s a long story.
SYBIL’S MUM
It’s a pleasure to meet you too. Why don’t you come trick or treating with me and Sybil?
Luke, Resus and Cleo like that idea.
LUKE/RESUS/CLEO
Yeah!/That’s great!/Trick or treating, here we come!
Resus and Cleo head off with Sybil’s mum, while Sybil comforts Luke, who feels so sad.
SYBIL
What’s the matter?
LUKE
I can’t think of my costume for Halloween this year, so I have to go as my normal self.
SYBIL
I’ll find you a costume to wear. But...it’s more natural if you go as yourself. Being yourself is more fun after all.
LUKE
I guess you’re right.
We have a MONTAGE of Luke, Resus, Cleo and Sybil going around various houses, calling out “Trick or treat!” and being given lots of candy. In this montage, we see CLOSE UPS of their candy buckets being filled up.
The montage finishes and Luke, Resus, Cleo, Sybil and her mother arrive back at:
EXT. SYBIL’S HOUSE. NIGHT.
Mum opens the door to let Sybil and her new friends in.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. SYBIL’S HOUSE - SYBIL’S BEDROOM. NIGHT.
Luke, Resus, Cleo and Sybil are tucking into large amounts of candy they got from each house, including the Lion King lollipops.
