'Bloody Mary' Fable Adaptation Script

I'm really into urban legends and people's reactions and beliefs about them so I thought I would adapt the classic urban legend about Bloody Mary. It was fun to do a little twist on this legend!

As of right now it's not finished yet. D:

Script below the cut...



BLOODY MARY
by Cassidy Aquilino-Berg
Page Comic Script; loosely based on urban legend of Bloody Mary
Revised 01/30/2014

CHARACTER NOTES

ELLIE: Protagonist. Skeptical young girl. Doesn't believe in ghosts. Wants to prove to her sisters that she isn't a scaredy cat. Loner. Her sisters are Karen and Laura. Ellie is the youngest of the three.

KAREN: Obsessed with boys. About to turn thirteen, thinks she's better and smarter than her sisters because she's the oldest. Know it all.

LAURA: Loves reading scary stories and watching horror movies that she is definitely too young for. Tries to scare her sisters all the time. Teases her sisters a lot.

BLOODY MARY: A ghost thought to appear in mirrors covered in blood after chanting her name.

ART NOTES
The style should be short of wacky cartoony, see Paranorman for reference. Color. Big shapes and exaggerated features. Thick line with lots of different line weight, but not scratchy.

PAGE ONE -- TWO PANELS

LAYOUT: Two panels of equal size both spanning the width of the page and the length of 1/2 of the page.

PANEL ONE
Three sisters, ELLIE, KAREN, and LAURA are laying in separate beds in their room in the dark.


1. KAREN: I'm bored. 
2. ELLIE: Then go to sleep, Karen. Mom said it's bed time. 
3. LAURA: Who cares about bed time?

PANEL TWO
Close up on LAURA. She is in her PJ's and has a flashlight shining on her face.

4. LAURA: I know... 
5. LAURA: Let's tell scary stories.
