Come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide!Halloween By Nejem (Lights dim, thunderstorm begins, we can see thunder and hear rain.) [The scene has an almost ready Halloween table with candles and snacks, Halloween decorations and so on. The Hostess brings a pumpkin on the stage and places it in the center of the table. The candle is lit.]
HELGA (THE HOSTESS) - Well, the table is ready, but where are the guests? I wonder if they could make it in such a terrible thunderstorm… (the doorbell rings) HELGA - A-ha, that must be them!
(opens the door to see Sam, who is Trick or Treating) HELGA - What do we have here? I can’t recognize your costume, you’ve made it yourself? - (silence) - Here you are! Happy Halloween! (Sam takes a candy and leave. The hostess returns to the dining room and continues getting ready)
(the doorbell rings) HELGA - Maybe it’s them? (opens the door. Amanda and Bridget arrive) HELGA - Hey, Happy Halloween! How are you? Did you have any trouble getting here? AMANDA - Uh, this rain is awful! Thank god we were in a car! BRIDGET - Right, and I couldn’t see almost anything through that storm! HELGA - Yeah, this weather is just perfect for Halloween… Come on, here you can leave your coats, and this is the dining room. AMANDA - I inherited it from my grandmother, but haven’t actually used it for a while… Nevermind, make yourself comfortable. BRIDGET HELGA - Let's wait just a bit, I’m sure someone will arrive soon! AMANDA - Wait, I think I can see someone… oh my, it’s Carol! HELGA - Oh my! (Helga opens the door and comes outside with an umbrella) - Carol, over here! CAROL - I thought I would drown! The rain is terrible, whh… HELGA - I’m glad you could make it! Want something to drink? CAROL - Yeah, a cup of tea would be great, but I’m all wet! HELGA - You could use the guest room upstairs, I’m sure it has some dry clothes. Feel free to use my bathroom, if you need it, there’s a hairdryer. CAROL - Thanks a lot, I’ll go get ready… Don’t wait for me, by the way! AMANDA - I’ll walk with you. CAROL - Okay. (the doorbell rings) HELGA - Right! I guess it's Samantha. (opens the door) - Sam, welcome! SAMANTHA - Nice to see you, Helga! Brr, it’s cold outside! - Yeah, we already have a case of someone being welcomed by the rain (refers to Carol). BRIDGET - Maybe we should get started? (Amanda comes back) AMANDA - Yeah, Carol is getting ready and I think she would spend some time putting make-up, so we can start now! SAMANTHA - Right! HELGA - My sister Hanna will come soon, she asked me not to wait for her. Fine, let’s begin!
[storm is heard, and the music becomes more terrifying] HELGA - Toady we’ve gathered here to meet the wonderful day of Halloween, the Eve of all Dead, the day when the border between our world and the spirit world almost disappear! [thunderstorm] - And for today’s evening I have a very special program for you. How do you think, what will happen tonight? EVERYBODY (mumbling) - I don’t know, something scary? - Horrible? - Yeah? HELGA - Ha ha, ANYTHING can happen! (everybody laugh) HELGA - Now let's toast! EVERYONE - Yeah, right, okay. HELGA - Let's rise our glasses of pumpkin juice for the ones who joined the dead before us! EVERYONE - Whoo-hoo! - Right! BRIDGET - By the way, I have just remembered, we could watch this new Halloween TV marathon! It’s like this small videos about Urban Legends, I think? Is it okay? HELGA - Totally! Well, It’s also a part of our evening, ladies! And it starts… (looks on the watches) now!
[the light is off, the first video begins: Killer in the Backseat] SAMANTHA - Wow, that was something! AMANDA - I just won’t look at our car the same way I did!!! BRIDGET - Amanda, you are too easy to frighten! AMANDA - But that was horrible! (the doorbell rings) AMANDA - Aaaa! SAMANTHA AND BRIDGET - Shhhh! HELGA - It's Hanna! Finally! HANNA - Come here, sis! Hello everyone! EVERYONE - Hello/Hi, Hanna! HELGA - How was the road? HANNA - Great! (everyone is a little confused – it’s storm outside, how can it be great?) HANNA - By the way, I’ve brought what you asked for. SAMANTHA - And what was that? AMANDA - Yeah, what was that? HELGA (takes a bag from Hanna, opens it and shows everyone and the public the Ouija board) - It’s an Ouija board! BRIDGET - Ouija… board? HANNA - Haven’t you ever heard of it? It’s used for communication with spirits! AMANDA AND SAMANTHA - Ohh! SAMANTHA - Is this thing safe? ‘Cuz I don’t want to mess up with the Underworld, especially today! HELGA - Yeah, It’s totally safe. HANNA - If we use it correctly, of course! AMANDA - Maybe we shouldn’t do that? I’m scared enough for tonight! HANNA - But this night only starts! BRIDGET - Let’s maybe watch what's new on the Marathon! I actually liked the first story! HELGE - Fine, but after that we summon the spirits! (to Amanda) - Mua-ha-ha! AMANDA - Aaaa! [TV turns on, the next video is: Aren’t You Glad You Didn’t Turn On The Light?) [thunder] AMANDA - Now that was scary! BRIDGET - I still have goosebumps! HELGA - Let's try this now! (takes the Ouija board) HANNA - Are you sure? We should prepare and... HELGA - Hey, sis, I know what I’m doing! Don’t worry! HANNA - Fine, but you’ll see! (everyone sits at the table, Helga starts chanting) HELGA Come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide!
(looking very spirit-ish, Carol comes from the curtain, screaming) EVERYONE (running to the corner of the stage) - AAAAAAH! CAROL - I’VE COME GET YOU! MUA-HA-HA! BRIDGET - AAAAA… wait, is that… flour?! CAROL! AMANDA AND SAMANTHA - What?! CAROL - La-la-la, fools! It was just a joke! Ha-ha!
(while Carol is dancing and laughing, guests come back to the table, but suddenly Hanna stops them) HANNA - Carol… Um… CAROL - What? Are you scared? Ha! HANNA - Behind you! (a real ghost appears behind Carol, Carol turns around and faints. The ghost disappears) AMANDA (scared) - What was that?! HELGA - I don’t know! SAMANTHA - It looked like a ghost!!! HANNA - I’ve tried to call the ambulance, but the line is dead! Check your mobile phones, guys! BRIDGET - Mine’s dead too. HELGA - And mine… that’s all because of the storm! And the ambulance couldn’t come too – just look outside!
[the sound of thunder] HANNA - Nevermind, It’s already late. AMANDA - What do you mean?! HANNA - She’s dead. AMANDA - WHAT?! [suddenly the TV turns on] HELGA (to Bridget) - Was that you? BRIDGET - No! SAMANTHA - I can’t turn this thing off! [the third video]
