S1E8 "Prom Night", (Monster Prom Half-Alive)

==========

The night of the prom is finally here! And everything sucks! Can the Colour Crew salvage the "best night of their lives"?

Notes:

Season finale of Season 1. 

If this were an episodic tv or streaming show, the intro theme for the first 7 chapters would be "Beat The Love" by Autoheart, and the credits music would be "Fifteen Minutes" by Mike Krol. For the season finale however, I'd forego the intro, and the credits sequence would have a different piece of licensed music, mentioned in the script. Listen along if you're curious.

If you've read this far, thank you! 

========== 

???, ??? -MORNING

Vicky(frankenstein-ish lady with poofy black hair) wakes up.
She hits her head on a ceiling made of metal. She rubs her head
in pain, and wonders what is happening. Opening credits show up
in the scenes, as the intro and title card is skipped during this
episode.

 

                     VICKY
         OW! What the-?

 

ZOOM OUT

She is in a cage, guarded by two fish knights.

 

                     VICKY
         What’s going on? Where am I??

 

Miranda (pink, delicate aquatic princess with long flowing
Little Mermaid hair) steps in from the shadows with
her arms folded, frowning.

 

                     MIRANDA
         Well, well, well! Wakey-wakey,
         little miss Conspirator!

                     VICKY
         Miranda?? What’s going on, why am I
         in here??

                     MIRANDA
         Oh, don’t play innocent with me! I
         know all about your schemes!

                     VICKY
         I have no idea what you’re talking
         about!

                     MIRANDA
         If you’re so certain about that,
         then prove it! TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT!

                     VICKY
         WHAT?! NO!

                     MIRANDA
         Something to hide?

                     VICKY
         Yeah, my breasts!

                     MIRANDA
         You are a spy for the insurgency!
         You only wooed me so you could get
         close to me and assassinate me! I
         know all about your chest tattoo
         that says “Down With The Monarchy!”

                     VICKY
         Miranda, that’s the stupidest thing
         you’ve ever said. And you thought a
         "cock ring" was a marriage proposal
         for chickens!

 

CUT TO

 

INT. ANCIENT GREEK BUILDING -WHENEVER

Flashback to Miranda excitedly tossing a chicken into a room
full of ancient Greek philosophers.

 

                     MIRANDA
                (happily)
         BEHOLD! A SPOUSE!

 

CUT TO

The scene and setting previous, with Vicky in the cage.

 

                     MIRANDA
         And to think I trusted you enough
         to ask you to prom. Now you’ll
         spend the rest of your days in a
         cage, in your very own home! How
         ironic.

                     VICKY
         This isn’t where I live.

 

ZOOM OUT

 

INT. SPOOKY HIGH CLASSROOM -MORNING

We see that Vicky’s cage is in the back of a class already
in session. Many of the students are looking back to see
what the commotion is about. The teacher is holding a book
in her hand, but is also distracted by this event.

 

                     VICKY
         …Do you think I live at the
         school?

                     MIRANDA
         Isn’t that where poor people are
         stored at night? No matter! You
         almost got away with it! Thank
         goodness Liam informed me of your
         treachery before it was too late!

 

ZOOM IN

Vicky confused.

 

                     VICKY
         …Liam?

 

Then we see a flashback to footage of all of the times Liam 
interfered with Vicky and her friends, a low thud sound as it 
cuts to each scene, without any of the dialogue present from 
those scenes.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky realizing something. Dramatic music.

 

                     VICKY
         …Oh no.

 

ANGLE ON

A shot farther back of the class, the dramatic music ending.

 

                     STUDENT
         Will this be on our final exams?

 

The teacher turns a few pages of the book in her hand, then
reads something carefully.

 

                     TEACHER
         Yes.

 

The students get to writing down notes about this.

INT. CLASSROOM -MORNING

Students in class listening to the morning announcements.
Most are bored or apathetic. Vicky is fidgeting in her seat
at her desk.

 

                     P.A.
         The results of the bake sale
         include three lawsuits against the
         school: A new low record. And
         today’s lunch will be: Plastic.

                     OZ
               (disappointed)
         Aww, we had plastic for lunch
         yesterday!

 

Oz notices Vicky seemingly about to explode with
anticipation.

 

                     OZ
         Hey Vicky, are you-?

                     VICKY
               (excited)
         It’s so hard for me to concentrate,
         knowing prom is in just a few
         hours! It’s finally happening! I
         CAN’T WAIT!!  

 

In her excitement, she then teleports soundlessly around 
the scene. Under desks, out of a nearby window, on the ceiling, 
behind Brian, exploding out of the back wall, until returning to 
her seat.

 

                     VICKY
      PROOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

                     P.A.
         And finally, Prom is being delayed
         until the 8th of the month.

                     VICKY
         …What?

 

Vicky makes a “capital D colon” face.

The intro theme song for this season is "Beat The Love"

S1E6 "Meet Halfway", (Monster Prom Half-Alive)

 ==========

EXT. ???-MORNING

 

POV

Vicky’s eyes slowly adjust to daylight. Blinks when the
light of day is too much for her.

 

CLOSE UP

Vicky on the ground, outside on some grass. She is irritated
at sound and light, eyes closed. She groans, tries to shield
her eyes from the sunlight by raising her arm over her head.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky struggling to sit up. Her hair is disheveled, her
clothes are unkempt and loose. A bare shoulder is exposed,
which she fixes. Then she makes a startling discovery.

 

ZOOM IN

One of her arms is missing. A dramatic music sting.

 

                     VICKY
               (gasps)
         My arm!!

 

BEAT

 

ZOOM OUT

 

                     VICKY
               (mildly frustrated)
         Where the heck did I leave it?

 

She looks around, and spies debris all around her. She looks
up and sees Oz resting on his stomach at the top of an
electrical pole.

 

                     VICKY
         …Oz? OZ!

 

ANGLE ON

 

Oz is lying on his stomach on top of the electrical pole. He
is asleep, and is woken up hearing someone call his name.
Vicky and Oz shout to each other.

 

                     OZ
         Huh? Oh, hey Vicky!

                     VICKY
         How’d you get up there??

                     OZ
         …That’s a very good question!

                     VICKY
         Why don’t you come down??

                     OZ
         ...I would very much like to get down!
         Do you have a ladder? Or a very
         tall man?

                     VICKY
         I’ll have a look-see!

                     OZ
         Wait, Vicky!

                     VICKY
         What??

                     OZ
         …It can be a very tall woman!
         Preferably!

 

Vicky looks around for something to help Oz down from the
electrical pole.

 

POV

Vicky scanning her surroundings.

 

PAN RIGHT

The sight of a construction crane, a giraffe, a shovel and a
trampoline the shovel is resting on. The shot is about to
pass the trampoline but then pans back quickly and zooms in
on it.

 

CLOSEUP

Vicky is struck with inspiration.

 

                     VICKY
         I have an idea.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky digging a hole with the shovel, right next to the pole.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky pushing the pole from the other side so it leans into
the hole. The pole tips, then leans, then plummets quickly,
leaving Oz dangling like a flag, holding on for dear life.

The pole eventually hits the diagonal hole. Oz is holding
onto the pole with his arms and legs, even though he is only
a few feet off of the ground.

 

                     VICKY
         Alright, come on down!

 

Oz shakes his head.

 

                     OZ
         Mmm-mm!

                     VICKY
         It’s okay, you’re almost there!

                     OZ
         No.

                     VICKY
               (coaxing him)
         Come on, it’s not that far, you can
         do it!

 

Vicky pats her knee with her arm like she’s trying to coax a
cat down from a tree.

 

                     OZ
               (scared)
         I don’t wanna!

                     VICKY
               (sighs)
         Alright, hold on.

Vicky walks out of the frame. Then we hear her making sounds
of physical effort. She drags the trampoline into the frame
underneath Oz.

 

                     VICKY
         Alright, just let go!

                     OZ
         …You promise I won’t break all of
         my things?

                     VICKY
         Oz, COME ON!

                     OZ
         Alright! Here I go!

 

Oz lets go, lands on the trampoline and is... bounced back onto
the pole. In the exact same position before he let go.

 

                     OZ
         …Alright, I’m-a try that one more
         time.

 

Oz lets go, lands on the trampoline and is bounced INTO the
pole, severely hurting him. His limp body lands back on the
the trampoline.

 

                     VICKY
         See? That wasn’t so bad, was it?

                     OZ
               (groans in pain)

 

The giraffe enters into the frame and starts licking and
eating Oz’s hair.

EXT. SPOOKY HIGH AUDITORIUM -MORNING

Students at Spooky High are auditioning for a school play.
They are all gathered at the front of the outdoor auditorium,
which is near a small building offshoot of the school.

The drama teacher addresses the crowd. 

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         Today we’ll be holding auditions
         for “Hark! A Vagina!”.

 

ANGLE ON

 

All of the students listening to what the teacher is saying.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER(V.O.)
         It’s a tale of Love, Betrayal,
         Financing, Conquest and Dubstep.

 

ANGLE ON

 

The teacher further explaining.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         Now, this is an ELECTIVE, so you
         don’t need to participate in order
         to graduate but-

 

ANGLE ON

 

The students again, but now only a handful remain, all of
which are named characters from previous installments of
Monster Prom. 

SFX: The sounds of hurried walking footsteps and cars
speeding away.

 

ANGLE ON

 

The teacher seeing this.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         …Alright, well that simplifies
         things. I suppose now we just have
         to assign each of you roles. One of
         you will have to play 17 people.

 

                     POLLY
         OOH! Meeeee!

 

                     VICKY
         No, Polly, not DO. PLAY 17
         characters!

 

                     POLLY
         I can impersonate a bunch of peeps.
         It’s not all about sex stuff with
         me, you know. Unless there’s a sex
         scene in it, then hell yeah!
         Nipple-time!

 

                     OZ
         You sure you’re up for that?

 

                     POLLY
         I’m already seeing 17 of you!

 

                     VICKY
         That doesn’t help you though.

 

                     POLLY
         Oh… Maybe we should get everyone
         else shit-faced instead, make THEM
         see 17 of me!

 

                     VICKY
         Yeah, let’s make this a show to
         remember!

 

Oz takes out a calculator, and begins typing into it.

 

                     OZ
         17 characters times 2, that’d be…
         34 nipples.

 

                     POLLY
         Sweet! That’ll beat my record by 5!

         Alright, time to take attendance in

         “Oz”… Huh.

 

The teacher notices something peculiar on their notes. They
address Oz, who is hunched over in his seat in a display of
un-confidence.

 

                     TEACHER
         Oz, I don’t have your last name
         written down.

 

                     OZ
         Oh, uh… I don’t have a last name.
         Also, present.

 

                     VICKY
         Wait, really? What are your
         parents’ or guardians’ last name?

 

                     OZ
         I don’t have those either.

 

CUT TO

 

In another seat in the same class, Vera Oberlin overhears
this. For most of the conversation she is filing her nails,
but hearing Oz mention his lack of parents catches her
attention.

 

                     VICKY(V.O.)
         Do you live alone?

 

                     BRIAN(V.O.)
         He’s got his own apartment. I went
         there a little while back.

 

                     OZ(V.O.)
         It’s not fancy. It’s more like a
         studio cardboard box.

 

                     VICKY(V.O.)
         How can you afford that even?

 

                     OZ(V.O.)
         I’m on disability.

         That’s a fancy way of saying you’re

         I have to be. That’s why I don’t
         buy a video game until it’s on sale
         for less than 20 bucks.

Vera raises a single eyebrow, mildly impressed to hear
Oz is careful with money.

         I didn’t know that the cake was a
         lie until 2015.

 

                     VICKY
         Were you in foster care?

 

                     OZ

S1E3, "Breaking The Ice" (Monster Prom Half-Alive)

==========

FADE IN  

 

INT. SHOPPING MALL -DAY

 

In a shopping mall, inside of a clothing store that wishes it
was in a more upscale neighborhood, there is one (1) Vicky
and a singular Amira. Vicky is tired from spending the night
doing Liam’s homework.

Vicky is sitting on a wide padded ottoman. Disheveled hair,
bags under her eyes, keeping her head held up with the palm
of her hand.

Amira is holding up two dresses she picked from a clothing
rack. One of them has a disgruntled unicorn on it.

 

                     AMIRA
         Alright, it’s almost the weekend!
         And my date with Damien is coming
         up! You think these show off too
         MUCH titty, orrrrr not enough?

 

                     VICKY
             (barely conscious)
         Sure…

 

Amira is unamused.

 

                     AMIRA
         …Anyone ever tell you you’re fun
         to be around?

 

                     VICKY
         I’m sorry, I’m still pretty wiped
         from last night. Not only did I
         have to do Liam’s homework, I had
         to mimic his hand-writing. It’s
         like learning seven languages that
         were only in a sci-fi show for one
         season! Except I like those!

 

                     AMIRA
         I thought you were tryin’ to get in
         Scott’s shorts.

 

                     VICKY
         Liam said he’d help us out if I did
         it.

 

                     AMIRA
         Has he?

 

                     VICKY
         I don’t know, I’m too tired.

 

                     AMIRA
         Maybe I should have made Brian or
         Oz come here instead.

 

CUT TO

 

INT. OZ’S APARTMENT -DAY

 

Brian and Oz are on a couch playing video games. They are
silent, concentrating solely on the activity, until one of
them shares a thought.

 

                     BRIAN
         ...Hey, Oz, I got one for ya: “Barf.
         Vader.”

 

                     OZ
         Oh yeah? …“Puke Skywalker.”

 

                     BRIAN
         "Jabba the Slut"?

 

Oz takes a moment to consider his next move.

 

                     OZ
         "General Griev-ASS.“

 

                     BRIAN
         Not bad, not bad.

 

BEAT

 

                     BRIAN
         "Jar-Jar… Twinks?”

 

OZ emits a less-than-impressed sound.

 

                     BRIAN
         Yeah I’m not really feeling that
         one either.

 

                     OZ
         God, what other characters are
         there to do that with? All I can
         think of is… “Emperor…
         Pooty-Tang”?

 

This gets a chuckle from Brian.

 

                     BRIAN
         Okay, that’s only good because of
         how bad it is.

 

                     OZ
         Yeah…

 

At this point they resume silent concentration on their
video game. A long, LONG silence follows, until a look of
intense inspiration lights up in Brian’s eyes. He puts down
the controller, stands up triumphantly and declares:

 

                     BRIAN
         "GEORGE MUCUS!!“

 

Victory fanfare music plays, confetti showers them from
offscreen, and a decorative banner is lowered behind them.
Brian has his arms spread out, and two lithe, delicate,
long-gloved arms from offscreen place a crown on top of
Brian’s head, and another gives him a bouquet of flowers. Oz
has stood and begun politely clapping. Brian closes his eyes
and basks in his accomplishment.

INT. SHOPPING MALL -DAY

 

Back to Amira and Vicky.

         Nah, we shouldn’t bother them.
         They’re probably doing something
         important.
