MARVEL ZOMBIES HALLOWEEN
Written by Fred Van Lente /
© 2012 Marvel
ONE
Panel 1:
CLOSE UP: The top of a zombie’s head gets BLOWN OFF.
1. SFX (BIG):
TOOOM
TOOOM
TOOOM
Panel 2:
PULL BACK: As that zombie falls to the ground, two more on either side of
it are similarly decapitated by a high-caliber round.
2. SFX:
3. SFX:
Panel 3:
PULL BACK: The trio of zombies drop, adding to the RING OF CORPSES
piled almost waist-high in the front lawn of a suburban house.
4. SFX:
whud whuddd
Panel 4:
AERIAL SHOT: We now see the lawn of that house, and the ring
surrounding it. The house is a big old New England colonial mansion -- the kind
haunted houses are regularly made of:

(Note the greenhouse/solarium on one side. That’s important.)
Alessandro, keep in mind in the world of
Marvel Zombies,
that the undead eat
EVERYTHING LIVING -- including trees and grass, so there won’t be any of that
around the house. At best, a bunch of depressing, stunted trees, limbs stripped of
leaves and bark.
NO COPY
Panel 5:
Inside the cupola -- that’s that round thing with the weathervane at top --
MOM, a lithe, Linda Hamilton type, about 42, with a pony tail of curly brown hair,
peers through the sight of a massive .50 caliber sniper rifle, the BARRET M107:

TWO
Panel 1:
ANGLE DOWN: PETER, 7, Son of Mom, looks up apprehensively from the
bottom of the stairs leading to the (off-panel) cupola hatch.
1. PETER:
I think there’s something in the walls.
Panel 2:
Mom descends the stairs and switches guns to a COMBAT SHOTGUN. She
makes Peter stand behind her while she goes over to one of the walls.

2. MOM:
3. PETER:
Weren’t you watching the monitors?
I
was!
Panel 3:
Angle on cheap green (light enhancement) monitors on one side of the
room. On one a zombie has been caught in a BEAR TRAP, flailing his arms uselessly,
moaning.

Original.
Panel 5:
Peter’s delighted face as he picks up the kitten, nuzzles it to his face.
Panel 6:
Mom smiles a weary but honest smile.

FOUR
Panel 1:
Tight on a Marvel Calendar with MAN-THING as October’s image. Peter has
crossed out all the days but the last four.
1. PETER (OFF):
2. PETER (OFF):
It’s … October twenty-seventh.
Five months … ten days to Dad’s birthday.
Panel 2:
WIDE ANGLE - They’re in the aforementioned GREENHOUSE where Mom
grows the food they eat -- she’s currently cutting and trimming carrots, tomatoes --
and PUMPKINS, of course. Peter sits on the floor, holding the calendar. Leave room
for back-and-forth dialogue.

11. MOM:
12. PETER:
Good. That sounds right to me.
You’re doing great with numbers and reading, Peter.
H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N.
What’s that, Mom? It’s in the square for the thirty-first.
That’s a holiday.
What’s--
It’s like, a day everyone can celebrate, together.
Like Dad’s birthday?
Like that, but for
everyone.
What do you do on Halloween?
Panel 3:
Angle outside the greenhouse, where a
¾-decayed
zombie staggers about
the lawn.
13. MOM (inside gh):
14. MOM (inside gh):
Well… back, before the
plague,
people dressed up and
pretended to be somebody else to scare each other.
They went from door to door asking for candy. “Trick or
Treat,” we called it.
Panel 4:
Small inset: The zombie’s foot steps toward a circular landmine. Ref:

17. MOM (OFF):
18. SFX:
You did it, Mom? Dad too?
When I was
your
age, sure…
I don’t think they practiced it where your father came
from, but when he got
here…
BOOOOOM
Panel 5:
The zombie EXPLODES with the landmine in a shower of bones and gore.

FIVE
Panel 1:
Mom picks Blackie out by the scruff of his neck from an empty flowerpot.
1. MOM:
2. MOM:
3. MOM:
Oh! Hello.
Peter, you’re going to have to be
careful
with Blackie.
Kittens like to squeeze into anywhere they’ll
fit.
You
have to make sure he doesn’t disappear on you or you’ll
be hunting for him
everywhere.
Mom, can I ask you a question?
You just did.
Can we celebrate Halloween?
Oh, I don’t know about that.
Why not?
Holidays are for a whole
community,
and there’s just
us. It’s a distraction, from trying to stay alive.
Are you saying if Dad was still here, we’d do it?
Not necessarily.
But Dad isn’t with us because w-- because
I
got
distracted.
Panel 2:
Peter holds up a length of green ribbon so Blackie can bat at it.
4. PETER:
5. MOM (OFF):
6. PETER:
7. MOM (OFF):
8. PETER:
9. MOM:
10. PETER (OFF):
11. MOM:
12. MOM:
Panel 3:
Mom works at a planter with a trowel.
Panel 4:
Mom turns toward us -- large panel, but tight on her -- not quite yelling,
but clearly agitated.
13. MOM:
I… can’t let that happen again. We’ve got to keep our
focus
on staying
alive.
But now we have Blackie! Now there are
three
of us
again!
The
number
of us isn’t really the
point--
Panel 5:
Peter holds up Blackie.
14. PETER:
15. MOM (OFF):
Panel 6: Same shot:
Peter holds Blackie close to him -- they both look at us with
their wide, childlike eyes.
16. PETER:
17. MOM (OFF):
18. PETER:
19. PETER (off):
But it’d be
fun
to be somebody
else
for a day.
You’re telling me. But we don’t have that luxury.
Aw, Mom.
C’mon.
If we don’t get to have any fun…
…what are we staying alive
for?
Panel 7:
Mom considers these words with a haunted look.
