Script for 24 pagesBy Mike Loniewski

Page 1: 4 panels

Panel 1: Establishing shot. Wide, high angle shot of the American Museum of Natural

History at night. The streets are bustling with activity as people stream into the entranceof the museum. A large banner is draped in front announcing the grand opening of the

Egyptian Hall. Just a quick note, the year is 1910, so everything in this book is going tohave a stylish, classic feel to it. But more importantly, take artistic liberties. This will be a

fun little story, no need for too much accuracy. Cartoony is the feel. This is your versionof the world you are creating so have fun with it!

Caption: This entry follows the societys events on the evening of April 15th, 1913.

Caption: In our continued pursuit of the nefarious King Ahman, Vitra was able to

discern his final destination through her clairvoyant abilities. It seems his sarcophagus

was headed to the American Museum of Natural History, where it was to become apermanent fixture in their Egyptian Hall.

Panel 2: Wide angle shot inside the museum at the entrance of the Egyptian Hall. A large

crowd has gathered around a raised platform complete with podium. Large bannersoverhead announce the exhibit and its dates. At the podium is the museums curator, a

rather proud fellow in his early 50s. Directly to his left is a large sarcophagus, which hasbeen crafted to look very threatening. Feel free to make it as ominous as youd like. The

entire of the museum should be very large, with granite and marble structures with warmlighting. Various pieces of Egyptian art and displays have been placed all around.

Caption: Unable to intercept the sarcophagus en route, we were forced to confront the

king in public.

Curator: And, finally, we would like to thank the very generous contributions from thearcheological society in Cairo, whose tireless efforts have brought many of the fine

artifacts you see before you this evening.

Panel 3: Medium shot of the proud curator, standing behind the podium, as he announces

the unveiling. The sarcophagus is right beside him.

Curator: Now, it is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the Egyptian Hall!

Panel 4: Close on the ominous sarcophagus.

Caption: Our timing was impeccable.

SFX: MUUUUUUHHHHHHH

Panel 1: Large panel. Angle on the Mummy, King Ahman, as he bursts out of hissarcophagus. The curator has turned in fright. Debris and dust from the shattered

sarcophagus fly everywhere. The Mummy is a haggard beast with reddish eyes peeringthrough his decaying bandages. He reaches for the curator with rotting, boney hands.

Since this is the first piece of action, my only request is to make it as dynamic as possible.

Curator: Gahhh!

Mummy: MMMRUUUUUUUHHHHHH

SFX: BASH!

Panel 2: Angle on the Mummy as he has pulled the curator to his face by the mans throat.

Mummy: Kneel before your KING.

Panel 3: Full shot of the Cambridge Paranormal Society. Mr. Hammerwyck stands in themiddle, aiming his plasma musket toward us. It begins to hum with power and blue light

as it warms up. Mr. Beckwith stands to his right, his bow and arrow at the ready. Vitra isto his left, watching it all unfold with a menacing glare.

Mr. Hammerwyck: would you be so kind as to release the poor man?
