Unleashing the Terror

EXT. SMALL TOWN - NIGHT

The town is in chaos. Police barricades are set up, but the fear among the townsfolk is palpable. People are huddled indoors, peeking out through windows, dreading the next attack.

INT. OFFICER RILEY’S HOUSE - NIGHT

OFFICER RILEY sits at her kitchen table, her face pale and drawn. She’s been researching the face balloons, but her efforts seem in vain. The sound of a balloon popping outside causes her to jump.

OFFICER RILEY

(whispering to herself)

There has to be a way to stop this...

Suddenly, her phone rings. It’s a call from an unknown number. She answers cautiously.

OFFICER RILEY

(into phone)

Hello?

A distorted voice, full of malice, speaks through the line.

VENDOR

(coldly)

You’re getting close, but not close enough. Your friends are already part of my collection.

OFFICER RILEY

(frightened)

What do you want from us?

VENDOR

(ominously)

You’ll find out soon enough. But first, a demonstration.

The call abruptly ends. Riley looks out her window, seeing the face balloons floating ominously in the distance.

INT. ABANDONED FACTORY - NIGHT

The factory is decrepit and dark, filled with old machinery and broken equipment. In a large, eerie room, JASON (30), a local mechanic, is tied to a metal chair, his eyes wide with terror.

JASON

(struggling)

Let me go! Please!

The Vendor, now fully transformed into a grotesque, otherworldly entity, hovers nearby, a balloon with a face of cruel delight floating beside him.

VENDOR

(coldly)

You will serve as an example to others.

The balloon’s string, razor-sharp and unnaturally long, is used to drag Jason to a large vat of boiling liquid. His screams echo through the factory.

INT. FACTORY - BOILING ROOM - NIGHT

The room is filled with the stench of burning chemicals. The boiling vat bubbles violently. Jason is pushed toward the vat, his face contorted in horror.

JASON

(screaming)

No! Please!

The string wraps around his body, lifting him over the vat. The balloon floats above, its expression one of sadistic pleasure.

VENDOR

(coldly)

Suffer well.

The string releases, and Jason plunges into the vat of boiling liquid. His screams intensify as the scalding liquid envelops him, his skin bubbling and peeling away. The camera lingers on the horrific scene as Jason’s screams fade into the bubbling noise of the vat.

INT. FACTORY - FLAYING ROOM - NIGHT

In another room of the factory, LUCY (25), a local journalist, is strapped to a table. The walls are adorned with grotesque tools and instruments designed for torture.

LUCY

(crying)

Please, no...

The Vendor’s balloon floats beside her, its face twisted into a cruel smile. A sharp, metal contraption is brought into the room. It’s designed for flaying, with razor-sharp blades and gears.

VENDOR

(ominously)

You will experience the true meaning of fear.

The contraption is activated, and the blades begin to spin. The Vendor’s laughter echoes through the room as Lucy’s skin is slowly peeled away by the cruel mechanism. Her screams are heart-wrenching, filling the air with horror.

INT. FACTORY - ENTOMBMENT ROOM - NIGHT

In a dark, cavernous room, SAM (35), a former soldier, is encased in a giant, metal cage. The cage is then filled with a thick, tar-like substance that hardens over time.

SAM

(angrily)

You think this will stop me?

VENDOR

(smirking)

This is only the beginning.

The substance starts to harden rapidly, encasing Sam completely. His desperate struggles are futile as he becomes immobile, his body trapped in the tar.

The Vendor’s balloon floats near, its face showing an expression of cruel satisfaction.

SAM

(screaming muffled)

Help! Someone, please!

The substance hardens fully, leaving Sam entombed and silent. The camera lingers on the eerie, solidified cage, a chilling reminder of the Vendor’s power.

EXT. SMALL TOWN - NIGHT

Riley, now desperate, searches for the Vendor’s hideout. She stops in front of the abandoned factory, seeing the sinister glow coming from within. Her resolve hardens as she approaches the entrance.

OFFICER RILEY

(determined)

This ends tonight.

She enters the factory, her flashlight cutting through the darkness. The sounds of the factory’s horror fill the air—screams, the hissing of boiling liquid, and the grinding of metal.

INT. FACTORY - MAIN ROOM - NIGHT

Riley finds herself in the main room, where the Vendor waits with a new face balloon. The grotesque entity hovers menacingly.

VENDOR

(coldly)

You’re too late. Your town will be my masterpiece.

Riley takes a deep breath, her fear turning into fierce determination.

OFFICER RILEY

(angrily)

I won’t let you get away with this!

The final confrontation begins. Riley fights bravely against the Vendor’s attacks, using every ounce of her strength and willpower.

Despite her efforts, the Vendor’s powers seem overwhelming. The face balloons float menacingly, each one a symbol of the terror they’ve unleashed.

EXT. FACTORY - DAWN

As dawn breaks, the factory stands silent. The horrors within are hidden from the light of day. The town, still in shock, begins to emerge cautiously.

The camera pans out, showing the factory as a dark silhouette against the rising sun, a chilling reminder of the terror that once reigned.

FADE OUT.
