"I'm not!" Lonnie shouts
For a moment Lonnie hesitates, then slowly moves through the front gate up toward the porch.
ANGLE ON LOOMIS He watches the young boy walk toward the house, unsure whether he should interfere or just watch.
LOOMIS' POV -- OLD HOUSE -- STREET
Lonnie makes it to the front porch and tentatively steps up to the door. He glances back to his friends in the street.
Loomis' POV moves to the street, "Chicken!"
"Go on, Lonnie!" Keith shouts
Then Loomis' POV moves back to Lonnie at the front door. The boy turns to open the door.
He's scared out of his mind ANGLE ON LOOMIS Loomis quietly stands up behind the hedge.
"Lonnie..." Loomis calls out, Lonnie spins around and stares in horror at the talking hedge, "Get your ass away from there!"
LOOMIS' POV -- OLD HOUSE -- STREET Moving like the wind, Lonnie barrels off the porch and races back to his friends.

ANGLE ON LOOMIS He watches them race away, smiling to himself.
Suddenly, two hands enter frame and grab Loomis' shoulders. Loomis jumps and spins around.
Standing there is Brackett, "Jesus!" Loomis shouts
"You all right?" Brackett asks
"Sure..." Loomis says
"Nothing's going on. Just kids playing pranks, trick or treating, parking, getting high... I have the feeling you're way off on this..." Brackett displays
"You have the wrong feeling." Loomis says
"You're not coming up with much to prove me wrong." Brackett notes
"Exactly what do you need?" Loomis asks
"Well, it's going to take more than fancy talk to keep me up all night creeping around these bushes." Brackett adds
"I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, seeing past it, seeing this night. He's waited for it, inhumanly patient. Hour after hour, day after day, waiting for some silent, invisible alarm to trigger him. Death has arrived in your little town, sheriff. You can ignore it, or you can help me stop it." Loomis says
"More fancy talk... You want to know what Haddonfield is? Families. Children, all lined up in rows, up and down these streets. You're telling me they're lined up for a slaughterhouse." Brackett says
"They could be." Loomis respond
"I'll stay out with you tonight, Doctor, just on that chance that you're right. And if you are right, damn you for letting him out." Brackett says
Brackett turns and walks back to the street. Loomis watches him for several moments.
CUT TO: EXT. WALLACE HOUSE -- NIGHT The house is quiet, dark. The lights are all out.
Annie's car is parked in the garage. A car pulls up in front of the house and parks. Its lights flick off.
The sounds of LAUGHTER come from inside. INT. CAR -- NIGHT BOB SIMMS, a good-looking 17-year-old, Pops open a can of beer.
Next to him Lynda guzzles hers. They embrace, "Now... First we'll talk a little, then Annie will distract Lindsey and we sneak quietly up the stairs to the first bedroom on the left. Got it?" Lynda asks
"Okay. First I rip your clothes off." Bob says
Bob grabs Lynda and she starts giggling. The can of beer falls over onto the front seat, "You idiot!" Lynda shouts
"...Then you rip my clothes off. Then we rip Lindsey's clothes off. I think I've got it." Bob says
Ayo...LINDSEY IS LIKE FIVE YOU f*ckING PERV!!!!!!!
"Totally..." Lynda says
LYNDA DONT ENCOURAGE THIS!!!
EXT. WALLACE HOUSE Bob opens the door and together they fall out onto the ground.
Bob picks Lynda up and carries her up to the front door, "Bob... Put me down. Put me down. This is totally silly." Lynda says
Bro...SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!
Lynda squirms in Bob's arms. As he sets her down her foot accidentally hits the front door and it swings open.
Lynda and Bob both stop, "Annie, Annie, we're here!" Lynda shouts
Bob and Lynda enter the house. INT. WALLACE HOUSE -- NIGHT The living room is empty.
The lights are off. Lynda and Bob enter the house and begin turning on the lights, "I wonder where they went." Bob noted
"Annie probably took Lindsey out or something. Let's look for a note." Lynda requests
Bob walks over to Lynda, "Let's don't." He says
They embrace. Bob pulls Lynda over to the couch and turns out the light. They kiss. A shadow comes over them. They continue kissing, unaware of the shape of a man on the stairway watching.
