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.
CUT TO
INT. SHOPPING MALL -DAY
Back to Amira and Vicky.
VICKY
Nah, we shouldn’t bother them.
They’re probably doing something
important.
INTRO
The song "Beat The Love" by Autoheart plays over the opening.

FADE IN
INT. VICKY’S BEDROOM -AFTERNOON
CLOSE UP
Polly the frisky ghost girl is speaking, but she is at an odd
angle in the frame.
POLLY
(Playful)
Oh no, I’m stuck! I sure hope no
one has their way with me while I’m
powerless to resist!
ANGLE ON
Polly underneath the table in the centre of Vicky’s
bedroom, hoping to re-enact a recent trend in pornography.
Vicky, Oz and Brian are also there doing homework. They are
all fully-clothed.
VICKY
Polly, you’re a ghost, you can go
through solid walls. You’re the
least “stuck” of anyone.
Polly's starts kicking her legs poking out from under the table.
POLLY
UGH, come on! This is so boring!
Someone at least smack my butt
or something.
Brian (who, like everyone else is fully clothed) looks to Oz.
BRIAN
You heard the lady.
Oz panics, and his hand moves near and away Polly repeatedly,
uncertain of whether to risk it all.
OZ
(flustered)
I- uh but uh, uhhhh, buh-
POLLY
Aww forget it.
Polly phases up through the table, sending papers and
writing utensils off. She adjusts her white tank-top.
VICKY
Hey, you wanted help with your
History homework.
POLLY
I didn’t think I’d be involved! I
thought you’d do it for me and I
could go inject stuff into my
eyeballs!
OZ
How do you do that? Wouldn’t the
needle go through your form, like
the table just did?
POLLY
I can put anything on me I want! Or
in me. And I do!
VICKY
It’s too bad Amira isn’t here.
She’d take you up on that offer.
POLLY
I know! But she just had to go and
be in critical condition.
CUT TO
INT. AMIRA’S HOSPITAL ROOM -AFTERNOON
Amira in a hospital bed while a nurse is adjusting a machine
she is hooked up to. She is being very critical of everything.
AMIRA
You’re not doing that right. And
your haircut sucks.
CUT TO
INT. VICKY’S BEDROOM -AFTERNOON
POLLY
Why are you even here? I thought I
gave my homework to Oz.
VICKY
It’ll go faster if we all work on
it together.
BRIAN
That’s a nice way of saying Oz
panicked and begged us for help.
OZ
If I do your assignment AND mine,
they’d know the same person wrote
both!
POLLY
Not if you just put a couple of the
answers different on each!
OZ
Ooh, you know what,
that IS smart.
BRIAN
If you’re smart enough to know how
to cheat, what do you need us for?
POLLY
Well Green, what’s smarter: doing
the work yourself like a chump, or
getting other people to do it for
you?
Polly leans back and lowers her sunglasses down so
they cover her eyes.
VICKY
Speaking of doing stuff, I hope you
remember to hold up your end of our
bargain.
POLLY
Relax Vicky, I didn’t forget! I’ll
get you that weapons-grade
plutonium!
OZ
Dates for prom.
POLLY
…Huh?
VICKY
You said you’d help us get dates
for the prom.
POLLY
Oh… OH! Hey real quick, I gotta
call someone about something
unrelated.
Polly floats offscreen while calling someone on her phone.
POLLY
Heeeey, Faraj! Buddy! How’s the
whole “Uprising” treating ya?
Oz leans in toward the table to whisper something.
OZ
(Whispers)
Vicky, are you sure about this?
VICKY
(Whispers)
Hey, she may be… A lot. But she’s
giving us a chance.
BRIAN
(Whispers)
On the bright side, she’s showing
us a lot too.
VICKY
(Whispers)
Alright, alright, don’t be rude.
Polly floats back into the scene.
POLLY
Welp, so much for that country’s
nuclear program. Good news though:
I’ve proven I can set up horrible
people with each other without even
trying. So there’s hope for you!
VICKY
That’s great, Polly!
BRIAN
Alright then, what tips have you
got for us?
OZ
Yeah, how do we convince hot people
to go out with us?
Polly thinks carefully. Rubs her chin with her hand.
POLLY
…Have you tried smacking their
butts?
They do not respond in the affirmative.
POLLY
Well, I’m all out of ideas.
INTRO
The song "Beat The Love" by Autoheart plays over the
intro. I don't have any ideas, just imagine a really
iconic, memorable opening for a show that will
get parodied years later.

==========
FADE IN
A high-school.
EXT. SPOOKY HIGH -DAYTIME
VICKY(V.O.)
High school is so boring.
An enormous green EXPLOSION occurs behind the school! Swarms
of bees fly out of a top-floor window! Lasers fire out of a
giant robot STOMPING toward the school!
INT. SPOOKY HIGH HALLWAY -DAYTIME
Vicky is walking to her locker, while her narration
continues describing the mundanity of her school life, which
is devolving into chaos all around her. Ghouls and monsters
of all walks of life are scattered and panicking, while
Vicky nonchalantly heads down the hall.
VICKY(V.O.)
The same people, the same classes,
the same hum-drum routine. Nothing
much happens at Spooky High.
A student whose clothes are partially burned away shouts in
the halls, before fleeing.
BURNED STUDENT
The chairs! The chairs are coming
to life and EATING everyone!!
AAAAHH!!!
Vicky continues to her locker.
CUT TO
POV of the inside of Vicky’s locker facing toward her. She
grabs something from it and then closes it while more people
scream and flee for their lives. An ostrich runs past, and
Vicky either does not notice or care. She closes her locker.
CUT TO
Vicky walking outside. The camera is located below her,
looking up slightly. As her narration continues, her friends
join her side.
VICKY(V.O.)
Lucky for me, I’ve got the coolest
people in the world to make things
interesting. It’s silly, and it’s
clichéd, but when we’re together, I
feel like there’s nothing we can’t
handle!
She is happy to see them all. Amira gives her a punch on the
arm and a wry smirk. Brian gives her a high-five. Oz
sheepishly puts his hand up in greetings, and then goes back
to holding onto the straps of his backpack for dear life. A
missile flies from the right side of the screen and lands
offscreen on the left side, startling the friends. They
begin to walk faster to avoid the peril. Bats fly from
behind them on the left side of the screen. The monster pals
recoil and try not to get the bats in their hair as the bats
fly in front of them, covering the “camera”.
CUT TO
EXT. SPOOKY HIGH COURTYARD -DAYTIME
Vicky and her friends stop at the ruins of a bake sale.
Fires litter the landscape, and only six fellow monsters
remain seated at one of the long tables set up for
customers.
VICKY(V.O.)
We’ve got 3 weeks to find a date to
the prom. It won’t be easy. But I
know we can all convince a lucky
monster to say “YES!”
PAN RIGHT
A mermaid princess cheers on a demon and a wolfman
arm-wrestling. A ghost girl is high-fiving the chipper
wolfman’s free hand, while a hipster vampire tries to read a
book, and a femme-fatale Gorgon checks her phone.
VICKY(V.O.)
And… Uhh… Actually I guess
that’s it. That’s the premise.
CUT TO
Vicky and her friends looking onward to their potential
dates with cautious optimism. Vicky starts off with
certainty in her expression, until the voice-over narration
stumbles with how to end the scene.
BEAT
VICKY(V.O.)
Whatever, you get the idea. MONSTER
PROM!!
CUT TO
Vicky and Oz leaping into the air to pose excitedly, Brian
slightly less so and Amira barely raising her fist up.

"Pilot/Trailer" (Monster Prom Half-Alive)
==========
FADE IN
INT. PERFECTLY NORMAL SCHOOL -MORNING
A blonde white woman walks in through the front doors of a
typical American high school. She is conventionally
attractive for her age in a bland modern Hollywood way.
Upbeat pop music plays.
KATE
Look out, Typical High, because
Kate has arrived!
MONTAGE
A- Kate putting on her makeup in her bathroom.
KATE (V.O.)
I’m an ordinary girl, in the
Ordinary-Girls-between-13-25
demographic!
B- Kate is out walking her dog, but the dog has walked
around her until her very long leash has wrapped around her,
and she shrugs and laughs off such a quirky sitcom event to
have happened to her.
KATE (V.O.)
…But I’m anything BUT ordinary!
C- Kate is raising her hand in class to answer a question
diligently.
D- Kate is in cheerleading practice, but stumbles slightly
at one point which serves to make her relatable to somebody.
KATE (V.O.)
I’m ready to take high school by
storm, in a way the focus groups
said wouldn’t surprise or
intimidate white girls!
E- Kate is talking and laughing with her friends: a girl
with glasses and the only minority figure who is also
slightly chubby.
KATE (V.O.)
With a little help from my friends,
I’ll get the captain of the
football team or whatever!
F- Kate is engaging in a cult ritual at night, blood
dripping down her face as she chants unholy things the
audience can’t hear, but can somehow feel.
G- Kate and her friends are striking poses in a hallway to
signify that the introduction is about to end, and the title
card will soon appear.
KATE (V.O.)
So get ready, Typical High! Kate’s
here!
CUT TO
Closeup on Kate’s face as she winks and smiles a slightly
unsettling amount of teeth. The camera lingers on her long
after the voice over narration finishes. She doubts whether
to continue smiling as the camera remains filming,
uncomfortably long after a scene like this should have
ended. Even the standard pop music ceases long before the
title card appears.
CUT TO
TITLE CARD
NARRATION(V.O.)
"Put A Clever Title Here Later!“
Fridays at 5 on OTV!
CUT TO
EXT. SPOOKY HIGH COURTYARD -NOON
Four teenagers(?) watching a video on a phone. They are
all sitting next to each other on a concrete "rise", legs dangling
over. They are next to some stairs leading to part of the main
building of their school. Behind them and below them is grass
and a single tree. They are the only students nearby.
- "OZ", a skinny, meek young man with dark grey "skin", and
no visible mouth. Bright, simple eyes, like chalk on a
blackboard. Short hair that blends in with the colour of his
skin. White dress-shirt under a yellow-orange vest, with
the sleeves rolled up to the elbows.
- "VICKY", a very short girl with large aspirations, poofy black
hair, and a body constructed from different parts. Stitches
are visible across sections of her pale green skin, under her
blue sweater. Like Oz, her sweater is also rolled up to the
elbows.
- "BRIAN", a tall, Korean-American zombie who is usually
too exhausted to show extreme emotions. He wears a big,
many-pocketed green jacket. Teeth are visible on one side
of his face where a hole has formed(from prior
decomposition).
- and "AMIRA", a young black woman who is also a Fire Djinni (Genie).
Red crop-top jacket with a high collar, thigh-length
black dress, long boots and a mohawk made out of fire. An
even more intense personality.
VICKY is holding up her phone featuring the previous
segment. She is showing it to BRIAN, AMIRA and OZ. All four
of them are noticeably Non-Human compared to the human
actors in the trailer they finished watching.
BRIAN
(impressed)
Holy shit, that sucks!
VICKY
Yeah, it’s awful! But I love it!
OZ
Why do you love it if it sucks?
AMIRA
You can like bad things.
OZ
…But… Should we?
VICKY
Well, one good thing about it: it
introduced me to all of you! We
only met because you checked out
what I was watching on my phone
while we were all here at the same
time for unrelated reasons.
OZ
That IS a summary of why we’re here
talking.
BRIAN
Oh God, I don’t wanna be indebted
to this show.
AMIRA
Dude, don’t fight it. Can’t decide
what gives your life purpose, makes
you feel alive. You can either try
and snuff out that fire or bask in
the warmth of it!
VICKY
…Wow, that was actually kind of
profound!
AMIRA
You know it. I’m deep.
OZ
Why do you like it, Vicky?
VICKY
It’s cute! I like the main
character, she’s confident, she’s
pretty, she has lots of nice
friends. And I gotta know if she
goes to prom with the captain of
the football team!
ZOOM IN
Vicky becomes drenched in shadow.
VICKY
(growling)
I MUST KNOW.
WIDE SHOT
The lights are back on in the scene and her friends take a
moment to process what she just said.
OZ
Speaking of… what are your guys’
plans for prom?
BRIAN
Staying home and reading comics.
VICKY
WHAAAAAAAT??
AMIRA
Yeah man, Brian knows what’s good!
Who cares about prom?
VICKY
But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime
event! Bonds formed! Memories made!
An excuse to dance and dress pretty
and celebrate our youth while we
can!
AMIRA
You can do that any time. I do.
OZ
I wouldn’t mind going but I don’t
have a date… But it’s okay, I
have my nerd hobbies to keep me
company…
AMIRA
More like NERD hobbies. Hah!
OZ
That’s literally what I said.
There’s no clever play on words
there!
BRIAN
Amira, weren’t you just saying prom
doesn’t matter?
AMIRA
It matters now that I know Oz wants
it.
OZ
I mean, I can see the appeal!
Imagine how good it would feel if
the person you wanted to connect
with on a special occasion thought
you were… worthy enough.
VICKY
See! Oz gets it! And it’s not like
there’s a prom when you’re 30 or 40
at some office building. This is
the only prom we’ll get!
AMIRA
Vicky, there’s a prom every 3 weeks
at this school.
VICKY
And that makes it 3 times more
special!
OZ starts counting on his fingers to try and understand the
math VICKY is using. She steps down off of the concrete
ledge they were all sitting on and onto the grass below
them.
VICKY
Come on, guys! I bet if we focus,
and put our heads together, we can
all get dates to the prom! And if
we’re having trouble, we can help
each other out! Don’t you want this
to be an amazing, unforgettable
night of our lives??
The three students sitting on the concrete rise look to each
other, but only OZ responds without incredulity.
OZ
…Do you really think it’s
possible?
VICKY
You bet! If we work together,
there’ll be no stopping us! We’re
all gonna get to go to Prom with
the monsters of our dreams!
OZ gently, awkwardly stumbles down off of the ledge and onto the grass in
front of him, closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and joins
VICKY, nodding. Then he turns to AMIRA and OZ. VICKY pats OZ
on the arm before he addresses the others.
OZ
I’m in!
AMIRA smiles, shakes her head and rolls her eyes, but BRIAN
raises a single eyebrow. Then he sighs, and hops down. He lands face-first
into the dirt with a heavy THUD. He gets to his feet and joins OZ and VICKY.
BRIAN
Ah, what the hell.
VICKY high-fives BRIAN.
AMIRA
You guys are clueless.
BRIAN
Afraid you won’t get a date before
us?
AMIRA
BITCH, you think I can’t? People
are gonna be BEGGING me to be their
date for prom!
AMIRA hops down and singes some of the grass underneath her
feet as she joins up with the other three. Because she is a
fire Djinn.
OZ
So… What’s the plan?
VICKY
Simple! First, we add each other on
our phones. Then, we find the
person we each want to take to
prom. We do whatever we can to win
their affection.
BRIAN
What if it’s too hard?
OZ
What if they don’t like us?
AMIRA
What if they find out I’m hanging
out with you dweebuses?
VICKY
Then we’ll help each other out! We
can get to know your suitors too,
put in a good word for each other.
OZ
Isn’t this manipulative?
VICKY
No, it’s Romance!
AMIRA
I don’t need help attracting
anyone. People are like moths to a
flame for me.
BRIAN
Because you have a fire theme.
OZ
If we’re such lame-o’s, how come
you were hanging out alone at lunch
too?
AMIRA
I… Man shut up, I ain’t alone!
I’m… Independent.
BRIAN
What if the person you’re aiming
for thinks that’s weird? It
couldn’t hurt to have backup.
AMIRA
Hmm… I WOULD look hotter next to
you guys. And it’s got nothing to
do with me not having a lot of
friends because I have "attitude
problems”!
VICKY
Alright! It’s settled! These next 3
weeks are gonna be the craziest,
most awesome of our young lives!
BRIAN
Afterlife.
VICKY
Come on! Hands in the centre!
VICKY, OZ and BRIAN put their hands on top of each other’s.
AMIRA looks at BRIAN giving a slight wry smile. She gives a
wide, condescending smile back, and places her hand on top
of his and it immediately starts burning his flesh. His
smile evaporates.
VICKY
Alright real quick, “Monster Prom”,
on the count of three!
EVERYONE
3, 2, 7, 5, 8, R-!!
VICKY
Oh my god are you serious??
BRIAN
PLEASE HURRY THIS UP!!
VICKY
Alright, when I say “Now”… NOW!
The camera cuts to a view looking down at their hands, and
then quickly zooms out as they raise their hands, and
triumphantly shout:
EVERYONE
MONSTER PROM!!
TITLE CARD, FOR REAL THIS TIME
“Monster Prom”
CUT TO
The same shot of the four of them with their fists raised in
the air after shouting the name of the show. Except now
AMIRA is texting on her phone, while VICKY, BRIAN and OZ are
still posing.

…So what episode of the Kate show
has the blood cult stuff? Does that
actually happen, or…?

Lifebaiting
Remember how for years, people were wondering what would happen with Glenn on The Walking Dead show? Because his character was killed off in the comics, but the show took so many different turns than the source material. It became a real question of if the same fate was in store for him there. It got people wondering what that story would look like if he was still around.
This is important because it meant that viewers could not spoil the show for themselves by reading the comic. Not about EVERYTHING. Some fates overlapped, but not ALL of them. And often not in the same ways.
The clever thing to do would have been to make it seem like he was doomed, to misdirect the audience. While leaving a little bit of nagging doubt in the back of people's minds. Get them questioning, keep them paranoid. Which keeps them invested, and watching more. The more you're thinking about a TV show that's still on the air, the more likely you are to watch another episode.
Then after a "SIKE!" fake-out death, and then purposely stalling the outcome of who Negan killed for months, they... killed off Glenn in the same way, at the exact same part we all expected.
A lot of people stopped watching TWD after that. Not because they were sad about a fictional character dying again. They were fed up with being jerked around. It was obvious that the people in charge of telling that story had no plan, and no respect for the time and investment of the audience that cared about it.
This post is about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
