I have to finish grading all the scripts from my scriptwriting class by Friday (the end of the semester), so here's a bit more from RING OF THE SORCERESS, featuring--of all unlikely things--a zombie uprising:
CUT TO:
EXT. PASTORAL FIELD -- DAY
A fair WENCH runs screaming from a limber zombie trying to draw her into his cold embrace.
She falls, and the zombie is close on her heels. She SCREAMS for mercy.
Suddenly, a STRANGE WAIL splits the sky. It draws the zombie's attention. He leaves the wench where she fell, and heads off to heed its alien siren call.
EXT. FARM FIELDS -- DAY
Two grotesque zombies are making a meal from the corpses of a slain family. An EERIE SQUEAL draws their attention, and they get up and lumber toward its sound.
EXT. GRAVEYARD -- DAY
A GRUNT comes from a small party finishing a grave, under the supercilious gaze of Queen Esme's chief aide.
DESMOND
And there lies the Council of Seven. Long live the Queen.
The others mutter "Long live the Queen" in a less whole-hearted manner.
Suddenly, there is muffled GROANING. The small group looks around.
Before them, a decayed hand erupts from the ground.
Then another, and another.
The frightened group turns and runs for the castle.
Give me a yell at johnoakdalton@hotmail.com.
