Scene 1: The Castle
* 7 seconds of a black screen, followed by the shine of a flashlight, revealing the setting to be a giant castle*

Jacob: Where am I?

* camera pans to Jacob Snick, the protagonist of the movie, and the door closes behind him, giving off a screech, followed by a loud slam*

Jacob: That was... a little out of the ordinary.

* Jacob begins to wander in the castle with his flashlight at hand, and several times, thunder and lightning bang, causing the castle to briefly flash white lights accompanied by a loud thud*

Jacob: This is especially creepy.

* Jacob begins to walk up a staircase, and it doesn't follow Jacob, but instead slowly zooms into a dark room, where a pair of glowing red eyes appear, belonging to Count von Count, or simply The Count*

The Count (in a scary voice): Visitors.

* Cuts to Jacob on the roof of the castle, accompanied by a whoosh of dark light, causing the music to stop*

Jacob: What was that?

* Jacob accidentally drops his flashlight, making a loud bang sound on the floor, and the Count hurries up to where the sound came from, but isn't revealed yet as he still has his red eyes in the darkness*

The Count (in a scary voice): Who goes there?

Jacob: Um... hello there! Who... who are you?

* The Count begins to speak in Romanian, with subtitles below for the audience to pick up what the Count is really saying*

Count (in a scary voice): Sunt un monstru cunoscut numai de legende și mituri. Veți simți bine furia mea în această seară. Când ceasul va lovi miezul nopții, voi elibera o poțiune și, prin urmare, veți fi plecați. (Translation: I'm a monster known only by legends and myths. You will feel my anger right this night. When the clock strikes midnight, I will release a potion, and therefore you will be gone.)

Jacob: Wh... WHAT?

* The Count reveals himself to the light, and gives out his signature laugh accompanied by thunder*

The Count: Now, where WAS I?

Jacob: You, were... uh... about to, uh... kill me?

The Count: Ah, yes! The potion part! Well, since this is obviously your first offense for trespassing into this castle, I'll let you go with a warning. But if you come here AGAIN... (voice becomes scary) I'll kill you.

Jacob: Cool. I'm not going back to this hot mess anyway. I have better things to do than visit the headquarters of Spirit Halloween. I gotta report the news. *runs outside the castle

The Count: Beastly one.

* Thunder and lightning bang, transitioning into the next scene*
