The Only Movie He Made


“Great twist ending,” Ben said. “Glad you liked it,” the clerk replied. He grabbed another video from a shelf, this time the cover was all black, and the cover showed a chap seeing a scary looking face in a doorway window. The clerk announced, “This one’s titled, “The Only Movie He Made”.”

 

 

 

Film Theatre

A man is sitting all alone in a corner. He slowly draws a gun out of his pocket. He aims the gun at the guy sitting in front of him. He pulls the trigger shooting and killing the man sitting in front of him.

People In Theatre: AHHHH!!!!!

The man with the gun starts laughing as he walks around the theatre, shooting everybody their blood splattering on the big screen.

Man: Ha-Ha! Everybody will remember me! Everybody will remember, Jack Jude! Everybody will remember me!

Suddenly cops bust in the theatre, guns at the ready.

Jack: You will all remember me!

He puts the gun to his head pulling the trigger. Blood splatters from his head as he falls to the ground.

Cop #1: At least he saved us the trouble of killing him.

Cop #2: What a bloody nut!

Cop #1: How many people did he kill?

Cop #2: A lot.

Dead bodies were all over the ground, blood everywhere.

15 MINUTES LATER….

Cop #1: So what’s the body count Dan?

Dan: About eight people this nutcase killed.

Cop #1: Bloody Hell!

Dan: Know what you mean, Bill.

Bill: I guess he’ll get his wish and be remembered.

Dan: You’re right… but, what a sick way to get remembered.

20 YEARS LATER

Four people in a car drive past a sign saying “Welcome To Abbey”. A couple of minutes later, the car arrives in the city of “Abbey”. The car stops and the people get out.

Woman #1: So this is the place?

Man #1: Yeah, Amanda this is the place, home of the haunted film theatre.

Man #2: You mean supposedly haunted film theatre, Neill.

Neill: It might be haunted. You just never know Geoff.

Geoff: Whatever, Neill.

Woman #2: This is the last place for the documentary right, Neill.

Neill: As a matter of fact it is Nancy. Once we’re finished with this haunted film theatre, we’ll have finished traveling around filming all these haunted places.

Amanda: We ought to make a shit load of money if this is ever released to theatres.

Geoff: You’re right about that, millions of people I bet would be willing to see this.

Neill: We should ask permission from the sheriff, I guess.

Nancy: Right. Hey, I think that's the police department over there

She pointed across the street to a little building with a sign painted on the window saying: “Police Department’’.

Geoff: Let’s go.

The four people walked across the street and entered the police department.

Sheriff: ‘Ello.

He was sitting in a desk, reading a book.

Neill: ‘Ello.

He shook hands with the sheriff.

Sheriff: So, what do you four want?

Neill: Well sir, we’re documentary filmmakers and, we’re working on a documentary involving haunted places we’ve visited. We’ve heard about this supposedly haunted theatre here in the town of “Abbey” and, we wish to film in the theatre. So we figured we ought to get permission from you first. So, what do you say?

Sheriff: Do you four know the story about that theatre…Theatre 9?

Geoff: Not really, sir.

Sheriff: Twenty years ago some bloody crazy chap named Jack Jude wanted to be remembered. So one night he walked in Theatre 9 with a pistol in his pocket. He sat down and when the movie started he pulled the gun out, shot the man sitting in front of him, and started shooting everybody else. He killed eight people in that theatre. Two of the people he killed were only little kids. When the cops arrived he put the gun to his head and, blew his brains out, killed himself. Ever since then though, the place was never the same. About seventeen years ago, the owner of the film theatre had the nerve to open up Theatre 9. On that night three people in the theatre for some reason died. The doctor could never explain what exactly had happened. Their faces had frightened looks on them. Weeks later, the theatre was opened up again. Once more, two bodies were found in the same shape as the three people that died before. Theatre 9 was then closed after that. Everybody was saying it was bloody haunted.

Neill: That’s a bloody weird story.

Amanda: I agree.

Sheriff: Every word of it is true.

Geoff: Yeah, sure out of all the places we’ve been to, very few have had actual ghosts in them. You’re story sounds kind of made up, if you ask me.

Sheriff: Suit yourself, mate.

Nancy: So we can film at theater 9?

Sheriff: It’s your funeral. Just don’t make me go in there.

Geoff rolled his eyes.

Neill: Thank you and thanks for your time Sheriff.

He shook hands with the sheriff.

Neill: See you later.

Sheriff: I hope to see you later, mate.

Geoff: Ah, what a crock of shit.

The four filmmakers walked out of the police department closing the door.

Sheriff: If only they would ever believe me.

OUTSIDE OF MOVIE THEATRE

A car is parked outside a movie theatre. The four filmmakers are outside of it, getting their equipment out of the trunk of the car.

Geoff: Hey, I can see Theatre 9 from here.

Nancy: Where?

He walked up to the glass window of the film theatre and, peered in. Nancy followed him.

Geoff: See.

Behind the glass window was a closed door with a sign above it saying Theatre 9. There was a “Closed” sign in front of the theatre door. Nancy walked off leaving Geoff staring through the window alone. He suddenly saw a pale face walk by the window of the closed Theatre 9 door.

Geoff: What the bloody Hell!

He backed off quickly, surprised.

Amanda: What happened?

Geoff: I just saw some kind of face in the Theatre 9 door.

Neill: Ah, you must’ve imagined it.

Geoff: Maybe…

Neill: Alright, all the equipment’s ready, let’s go inside.

Nancy: Wait a minute do the people who own the movie theater know we're filming part of our documentary here?

Neill: Yeah, I called them a couple of hours ago and, they agreed.

Amanda: We’re they like that sheriff?

Neill: Oh yeah, they told me not to go and all that bloody shit.

He started laughing.

Neill: Alright, let’s go.

Suddenly a police car drove up on the scene. The sheriff got out of the car.

Geoff: What are you doing here, Sheriff?

Sheriff: Just wanted to wish you four, luck.

Nancy: Sheriff, we're not going to die. Trust me

Sheriff: Alright, but anyway I’ll drop by later and see how you four are doing, if that’s all right?

Neill: Whatever, Sheriff.

Sheriff: Alright then, I’ll see you four later.

He got in his police car and drove off.

Amanda: He must really think Theatre 9 is haunted.

Geoff: Either that or, he’s a nutcase.

The four walked in the theatre.

Nancy: Alright,. where's theatre 9?

Geoff: Here it is.

He opened a door and, the four of them walked inside.

Neill: What the bloody Hell!

Inside a projector was on, showing a movie.

Amanda: I thought this place has been closed.

Geoff: So did I.

Neill: Maybe some teenagers or whatever came in here playing a prank.

He shut off the projector.

Neill: Whatever it is, we shouldn’t worry about it.

Geoff: You’re right.

The lights started flickering.

Nancy: What's going on with the lights?

Geoff: That’s odd.

Amanda: Maybe the bulb’s all messed up or something.

Neill: Probably so.

Suddenly the lights went out, making the theatre completely dark.

Nancy: That's just great

Neill: Hold up a second, I’ve got a flashlight.

He flicked a switch and, a little beam of light appeared from his flashlight.

Geoff: Maybe we could use the light situation to our advantage.

Neill: What do you mean?

Geoff: Remember, how much money that “Blair Witch Project” movie made? It was all fake but, it was made to be like a documentary. Right now we can use this darkness perfectly for this part of the documentary.

Neill: You have a point. Let’s do it.

He got out the camera and started filming.

Amanda: AHH!!

Geoff: Hey, what was that?

Nancy: I think it was Amanda

Neill: Where is she?

He moved his flashlight around till the beam landed on a body lying on the floor.

Neill: Bloody Hell! She’s Dead!

He leaned on the ground seeing her all pale, her eyes wide with fright.

Nancy: What killed her?

Neill: I don’t know.

Geoff: Shit! We need to get out of here.

Nancy: I totally agree

Geoff, Neill, & Nancy walked to the front door that led out of the theatre.

Neill: Shit! Ah!!!

Suddenly the flashlight cut off leaving the whole room, pitch black.

Geoff & Nancy: AH!!!!

The camcorder that Neill was holding cut off.

15 MINUTES LATER….

OUTSIDE OF THEATRE 9

Sheriff: I don’t want to go in but, I better check on those four filmmakers.

He walked in the theatre.

He opened the door leading inside Theatre 9. It was all dark inside.

Sheriff: Better get out me flashlight.

He got out his flashlight and moved the beam of it around the room.

Sheriff: Bloody Hell!

On the floor he saw four dead bodies, all pale. The sheriff looked up seeing a very pale man standing up.

Sheriff: Jack Jude!

Jack: I will be remembered. Ha-Ha-Ha…

Jack suddenly disappeared.

The sheriff moved his flashlight beam to where Jack was just standing.

Sheriff: Hey, what’s that?

He walked over to the object, and bent down, and picked it up.

Sheriff: It’s a camcorder.

He pressed the PLAY button on the camcorder and on the little screen sticking out the camcorder, the four filmmakers were shown. After the camcorder showed all four filmmakers dying, the credits came on:

Written, Special Effects, & Directed By

Jack Jude

 

Author's Note:

 

Me dad has always called this one of me best stories. I’m not sure if it is, but I thought it was very interesting. The idea of it came up when I was trying to come up with an idea for a story, I went to see a movie, and while me dad and I were waiting for the movie to come on, I looked around the theatre, and thought what if this theatre was haunted. I then came up with the plot, and the twist ending shortly afterward. Overall, I think it’s a good little story, it has a great plot with a good little twist ending.
