A minivan hugs the turns between the ocean on one side and
mountains on the other.
INT. MINIVAN, PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY - CONTINUOUS
In the back seat sits a terrarium with ELVIS THE TARANTULA -
his eight eyes stare ahead at:
CRYSTAL MILLER (16) texting furiously on her phone in the
passenger seat - a quintessential high school “it” girl but
the black bags under her bloodshot eyes betray that image.
In the driver seat, SADIE MILLER (late 40s), sports a resting
bitch face under her cropped blonde hair. She glances over at
Crystal then back to the road.
SADIE
Sending your final farewells?
Crystal ignores her, continues to peck at her keyboard.
SADIE (CONT’D)
You know you can write your friends
letters. Do you have their
addresses written down?
CRYSTAL
Yes I have them.
SADIE
Good.
A long silence.
SADIE (CONT’D)
I’m going to miss you.
Crystal ignores her.
SADIE (CONT’D)
Crystal. I am.
CRYSTAL
You haven’t looked me in the eyes
in months.
Sadie looks at Crystal.
SADIE
Look at me.

Crystal looks at her mother.
CRYSTAL
What?
SADIE
I love you. Nothing will ever
change that, okay?
CRYSTAL
Just keep your eyes on the road.
Sadie looks back at the road but glances back at Crystal who
returns to her phone and presses her PASSCODE to unlock it.
SADIE
Do you know how much therapy I’ve
done? How hard I’m trying to get
through this?
CRYSTAL
I’m about to spend 30 days locked
up in a mental institution just so
you can have some space from me.
SADIE
That’s not why you’re going and you
know it. And it’s not a mental
institution, it’s rehab.
CRYSTAL
Same shit.
SADIE
(snapping)
It’s costing me 60 thousand dollars
to send you here, you ungrateful
little bitch.
Sadie regrets her words.
CRYSTAL
Wow. Tell me how you really feel,
mom.
SADIE
I’m sorry-
CRYSTAL
Don’t talk to me anymore.
SADIE
I just want you to take this
seriously.

We’re so happy to have you here
Crystal. We know this sucks. Nobody
wants to be here. But this place
really works. You just have to have
an open-mind.
SADIE
She will.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 5.
Janet glances down at the terrarium.
JANET JENKINS
What’s your little critter’s name?
CRYSTAL
Elvis.
JANET JENKINS
We usually don’t let the kids bring
pets but I told your mom we’d make
an exception.
SADIE
Thanks for allowing it. There’s no
way I could take care of that
thing.
CRYSTAL
She hates him.
SADIE
I don’t hate him, he just gives me
the willies.
She shudders at the thought.
JANET JENKINS
I’m no fan of spiders either. Just
make sure he’s stays in his little
cage.
CRYSTAL
Terrarium.

Excuse me?
CRYSTAL
It’s a terrarium. Not a cage.
REBECCA (late-20s), mousy with a pony-tail, enters.

Crystal gets up and follows Rebecca out. Janet waits until
they are gone.

Overwhelmed. I don’t know what to

think after what happened, that
would have been enough of a wake-up
call to stop- I don’t know- to stop
everything. But it’s gotten worse.
JANET JENKINS
I think this will be a good fit for
her. And we provide support and
resources for the parents
throughout this whole process.
Tomorrow, for example, our clinical
director will run a parents’ group.
You’re expected to attend those
weekly.
SADIE
I’ll try. I’m an on-call nurse, so

So one time my mom and I got into a
huge fight. I like, I came home
past curfew and she was waiting up
for me. I was pretty hammered. And
I drove. And she just lost her
shit. Screaming and yelling. Which
just got me riled up. And then I
lost my shit.
(pauses to think about it)
I fucked up.
Johnny’s eyes water, lump in his throat.

trust back.
Johnny tosses his letter into the fire-pit, it flutters down

Just know while you’re here, we’re
going to do everything we can to
repair that relationship. We know
your mom’s wants that.
Johnny sits down and nods, appreciative. Dakota stands up.
DAKOTA
My regret was easy to pick. It’s
the thing that landed me here.
LYLE
Okay, let’s hear it.
DAKOTA
I was tweeaaaakin’ hard. Didn’t
even know where the fuck I was but
I knew enough to know I wanted some
fucking Burger King. So I snuck out
and stole my parents’ car. Within
five minutes, I’d hit a fire
hydrant and flipped it. Nearly
killed myself. And I’m dead serious
when I say, I’m never touching
fucking meth again. That shit
scared the fuck outta me.

The girls are passed out, Kitty snores.
After a moment, the front door creaks open...
The MASKED FIGURE slips inside and walks into the room -
surveys the sleeping girls.
The Figure walks up behind the closest couch where Dakota and
Maddie sleeps.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 76.
They bring a knife across Dakota’s neck...
The Figure glances at the other girls as it glides the blade
across Dakota’s throat, blood seeps out.
Dakota eyes pop open but she can’t open her mouth or move at
all - she’s completely still as blood continues to run down
her neck and shirt.
The Figure takes Dakota’s hair in their hand and holds the
knife to her scalp.
Across the room on the other couch, Crystal’s eyes open -
they become wild when she realizes she too cannot move.
Her eyes dart around and land on:
The Figure SCALPING Dakota. Crystal musters a guttural GRUNT
just loud enough to wake:
Maddie’s eyes pop open wildly upon realizing she cannot move
either.
She sees Dakota covered in blood beside her on the couch.
Maddie GRUNTS as she watches the Figure slice around Dakota’s
scalp.
Kitty’s eyes finally open and she too cannot move and must
watch the horror unfold...
The Figure peels off Dakota’s scalp and shoves the fleshy
hair into Dakota’s mouth.
Kitty vomits - it drips down the side of her face - she
chokes a little.
The Figure pulls out Dakota’s papier-mâché mask and places it
over her face.
The Figure makes their way over to Kitty - her eyes go wide
and lets out a guttural groan.
The Figure grabs a blanket and wipes the vomit from Kitty’s
face. Kitty’s eyes well up with tears - pure fear.
The Figure rolls up Kitty’s sleeves revealing her superficial
self-harm scars all up her arms.
The Figure takes the knife and runs the blade along Kitty’s
scars lightly. As the knife gets to her wrist, it DIGS in,
slicing vertically. Blood seeps out.
The Figure does the same to Kitty’s other wrist.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 77.
A CAR DOOR SLAMS outside. The Figure snaps their attention to
the front door. They hurry over and peek out the window:
Rebecca and Logan walk up the driveway toward the porch.
REBECCA
Hopefully Phillip’s not mad.
LOGAN
We’re like never late. He’ll
understand.
Rebecca notices there are a lot of cars in the driveway.
REBECCA
Why are there so many cars already?
Logan spots a TESLA.
LOGAN
Janet’s never here this early.
REBECCA
Weird. Wonder if something happened
last night.
They head up the porch stairs and open the front door.
INT. FOYER, CLIFF'S EDGE - CONTINUOUS
Rebecca closes the door behind them.
REBECCA
Sorry, we’re late. Mudslide on
Mulholland has traffic backed up.
INT. REC ROOM, CLIFF'S EDGE - CONTINUOUS
All the kids’ eyes are darting around but they can’t move or
speak...
Kitty’s eyes slowly roll back as she bleeds out.
INT. FOYER, CLIFF'S EDGE - CONTINUOUS
Rebecca and Logan look up to the chair where Phillip should
be sitting - he’s not there.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 78.
REBECCA
Phillip?
Rebecca and Logan share a look.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
You think he left already?
LOGAN
Where is everyone else then?
Rebecca shrugs.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
I’ll go up and check.
Logan disappears upstairs while Rebecca looks around - spots
the blanket on the floor covering a body.
REBECCA
Uhh- Phillip?
She takes a few steps toward the blanket. Then spots the four
kids frozen on the couch. Kitty has expired.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Oh you’re up already. The boys
still sleeping?
Crystal and Maddie just stare at her, wild-eyed, but
Rebecca’s not comprehending the scene.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Where’s Phillip?
No response, just eerie stares.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
Hellooo- Is Janet here?
The Figure steps up behind Rebecca. Crystal and Maddie make
guttural groans.
Rebecca focuses in on the back of Dakota’s bloody skull.
REBECCA (CONT’D)
(confused)
Dakota?
The Figure jams the KNIFE through Rebecca’s temple and pins
her head to the wall.
Rebecca’s bloodied eyes stare out at the kids.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 79.
The Figure yanks out the knife - Rebecca slides down the
wall, crumples to the floor.
The Figure hears Logan walking back down the hallway.
LOGAN (O.S.)
No one’s up here.
The Figure walks through the kitchen and disappears through
the back door.
Logan comes downstairs and spots Rebecca on the floor, dead.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
Oh my god!
He rushes to her side and then notices the other body under
the blanket.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
What the-
He slowly lifts the blanket revealing Phillip.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
Shit.
He looks up and sees all four girls on the couch.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
What happened?!?
They do not respond or move - just stare.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
Hello! What the fuck is going on?
He rushes over to them and notices bloody Dakota first.
Logan SCREAMS and looks around at the other girls.
Crystal wiggles a little and stiffly falls to her side.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
What’s going on?
He sits Crystal back up.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
Are you paralyzed?
He thinks a moment.
Pink Rev. (07/12/24) 80.
LOGAN (CONT’D)
Hold on-
He runs into the staff office.
