               FADE IN:



               EXT. LAKE-NIGHT

               The moon glistens off the serene water.  VANNA and CHAD relax
               on a blanket enjoying the view.

                                   VANNA
                         It's a beautiful evening.

                                   CHAD
                         Not nearly as beautiful as you,
                         Vanna.

                                   VANNA
                         Oh, Chad.  You're so funny.

               She takes a sip of wine.  Chad reaches over and brushes hair
               from her face.

               He places his hand seductively on her knee.

                                   VANNA
                         I've never dated a porn star
                         before.

                                   CHAD
                         And I've never dated a...what do
                         you do again?

               He starts gently kissing her neck.  She closes her eyes and
               enjoys the moment.    

               She opens her eyes and SCREAMS.  He spins and sees...



               AT THE LAKE EDGE

               A HORDE OF ZOMBIES emerging from the lake.  They groan and
               slowly make their way towards the couple.



               AT THE BLANKET

                                   CHAD
                         Z..Zombies!  Lets get outta here.

               He grabs her arms and pulls her off the ground.

               They run in the opposite direction as the zombies close in.
               They look back as the zombies get CLOSER. 

               They run smack into....A MENACING SERIAL KILLER, complete
               with a weed wacker.

               Chad screams like a girl, and falls to the ground and pulls
               Vanna with him.

                                   LEAD ZOMBIE
                             (exasperated)
                         Carl, what the hell?!?

               The Serial Killer cocks his head and turns off the wacker.

                                   SERIAL KILLER
                             (muffled)
                         Hmmph mmmph  mhpmm?

                                   LEAD ZOMBIE
                         I can't understand--take off the
                         mask.

               The zombie pack mulls behind him.  One starts zombie texting. 
               Another pulls out a brain and chews on it.

               The Serial Killer takes off his mask to reveal...a clean cut,
               middle aged man.

                                   CARL
                         Hey, Shaun.  What are you doing
                         here?

                                   SHAUN
                         What am I doing here?  It's our
                         night!  This is our kill.

                                   CARL
                         No it's not.  Thursday is my night.

                                   SHAUN
                         We switched, remember?

                                   CARL
                         I thought that was next week.

                                   SHAUN
                         It's on the Google calendar, check
                         your Google calendar.

               Carl scrolls through his smart phone

                                   CARL
                         No, I'm still seeing you down for
                         next week.

                                   SHAUN
                         Maybe it's not syncing right.  Hit
                         refresh.

               Shaun takes the phone and presses a few buttons.

                                   SHAUN
                         We talked about this last week at
                         the lodge meeting.

               ON THE GROUND

               Vanna attempts to crawl off but runs into a VAMPIRE.

                                   NEIL
                         Forget true blood, I'm a true stud.

               Neil strikes a smoldering pose.

               Vanna recoils more in disgust than in horror.  The vampire
               stands up.

                                   NEIL
                         Hey guys what's going on?

               Carl and Shaun roll their eyes.  Not him again.

                                   CARL & SHAUN
                         Hey Neil.

                                   SHAUN
                             (cough)
                         Team Douchbag.

                                   NEIL
                         I heard that.

                                   SHAUN
                         Hey you were at the meeting last
                         week.

                                   NEIL
                         Yeah.

                                   SHAUN
                         Remember we switched.

                                   NEIL
                         I thought that was next week.

                                   CARL
                         That's what I said.

                                   SHAUN
                         It's on the google calender!!! 
                         Kyle where is the killing code.

               One of the zombies hands Shaun a leather bound book.  Shaun
               flips though it.

               ON THE GROUND

               Chad attempts to crawl away but runs in to BIG FOOT.

                                   BIG FOOT
                         Growl!!  Roar!!

                                   SHAUN
                         Oh hell no Big Foot.  Not a good
                         time.  Kinda in the middle of
                         something.  Shoo.  Shoo.

               Big Foot slumps his shoulder and slinks off into the night.

                                   CARL
                             (calling to Big foot)
                         I hope Susie's feeling better.  Let
                         her know we're praying for her.

               Big Foot gives an acknowledging wave.

                                   SHAUN
                         See it say's right here in section
                         four paragraph A five, in the event 
                         of a dispute between parties we
                         refer back to the original
                         agreement not withstanding--

                                   CARL
                         Blah blah, blood lust fading, get
                         to the point.

                                   NEIL
                         Why don't you just split them up?

                                   SHAUN
                         Because it says in section eight on
                         the Thursday before Friday the
                         thirteenth in a non Olympic year--

                                   KYLE
                         Summer or winter?

                                   CARL
                         Let's just split them up.

                                   SHAUN
                         Fine!  Let's just forget it. 
                         Forget the killing code.  Forget
                         the Google calendar, forget any
                         kind of civilized approach to
                         killing people.  

                                   CARL
                         I got dibs on the guy.

               Carl reaches down and grabs Chad by the ankle.  

                                   CHAD
                         Why don't you just kill her, man. 
                         I barely know her.  Its our first
                         date.  I'll help you bury her.

               They turn to look for her but...she's gone.

                                   SHAUN
                         Hey where'd she go?

                                   VANNA (O.S.)
                         Looking for me boys?

               They turn to see Vanna, all decked out in her monster
               fighting attire.

                                   SHAUN
                         Oh man, It's Vanna Helsing.

                                   CARL
                             (smacks Chad over head)
                         You idiot. She used you as bait.

               Neil is averting his eyes.

                                   NEIL
                         She's got a cross on, she's got a
                         cross on.

               Vanna pulls a stake off her belt and throws at Neil, piercing
               his heart.  Neil falls to the ground.

               Carl starts up his weed wacker and approaches Vanna.  Vanna
               whips out a machete.  They have a brief sword fight which
               ends badly for Carl as he is run through with the machete.
               Carl stumbles back and the weed wacker flies up and grinds
               off the face of Kyle.

               Shaun kneels down  consoles Kyle.

                                   KYLE
                         Avenge me.

               Kyle dies in his arms.  Shaun stands with purpose and
               determination.

                                   SHAUN
                         Tear her apart.

               The other zombies bear down on Vanna.  Vanna produces two
               samurai swords and hacks and slashes through the crowd. 

               A severed hand lands between Chad's legs.

                                   VANNA
                             (to Chad)
                         Are you enjoying this as much as I
                         am?

               She walks through the zombie killing field and approaches
               Shaun, who is cowering behind the Killing Code book.

               Vanna slices him across the chest.  The blood splattered book
               falls to the ground.

               Shaun lies dying on the ground.  Vanna places her boot on his
               chest and raises the sword up for the kill.

                                   SHAUN
                         That's so against the code.

               Vanna thrusts the sword into his neck and twists it with a
               satisfying crack.

               Vanna turns to Chad, who it still cowering in the corner.

                                   VANNA
                         I had a great time, wanna do this
                         again next week.

               Chad screams and runs off into the night.

               TAG

               A breathless Chad stumbles through the forest.  He stops at a
               tree for a rest.  Suddenly Big Foot appears and grabs his
               neck.

               Chad screams as he is torn to pieces.

                                                              FADE OUT.
