The Baby Sitter
Storyboard Tekst
- This is the Mitchells' House, it is well known as the creepiest, scariest, creakiest, and oldest house in town. Whenever the Mitchells' go out for dinner, they leave their two six-year-old twins (Andrew and Adam) under the care of Hilary (seen at the doorstep). Hilary is in the ninth-grade, she always loved to read and listen to scary stories; so it was meant to be that she always babysitted the two twins, at their spooky house, while reading to them horror stories before bed.
- The twins' bedroom lies at the end of an eerie and dark hallway, with creaky floorboards. They always get scared of 'things' watching them in this long hallway, these 'things' could be anything from ghosts to monsters. The twins' grandmother taught them a ritual involving touching doorknobs, spinning around, and kissing one's fingers to keep them away. Hilary grew accustom to it and did it to please the kids, but never believed in it.
- Once a night, and your all right!
-
- Hilary always used to read the twins horror stories before they slept; the stories Hilary read to them was almost always what she took at school. Hilary always used to have different sound effects and hand expressions while reading each story making the boys love it. They were greedy for more every time she came, it also made them sleep effectively.
- zzzzzzz...
- Now back to our first scene, Hilary was asked to babysit the twins one night before Halloween. After speaking to the twins' parents, they were fine with allowing the twins to stay up to watch a special TV programme; there were also cookies and the twins weren't allowed to have some, but Hilary had other plans...
- Hilary, being hungry herself, sneakily allowed the boys to eat a few cookies before watching the programme; she made sure to let them know that they couldn't eat any more cookies after this. Hilary trusted them as she knew they will listen to her. She counted 13 cookies then went to watch the programme with them.
- Now, what about those cookies?!
- Hilary waited until the programme finished to find Adam asleep in her lap, and Andrew just asleep. She then carried Adam in her arms, acting like a crib, to tuck him into bed.
- After securing Adam to his bed, she went to take Andrew to bed. While doing so, he woke up in the middle of her walking in the hallway. He asked her to do the ritual, she sort of plodded and did it slopilly, just to please him.
-
- Do it.. (whispering)
- Hilary then returned downstairs to complete her homework and schoolwork while waiting for the Mitchells to come back; she finished everything and found that she had some time left. She decided to switch on a Horror Movie on the TV as a way to kill time. She watched a good chunk of the movie until she felt her stomach rumble. She contemplated for a bit and finally settled on helping herself to a few of the cookies that the Mitchells made clear about not eating.
- They probably won't mind me getting a few pieces...
- Hilary was shocked to find that there were only six cookies from the thirteen she counted earlier! She then started thinking on who ate it, it couldn't be the twins as they were with her the whole time; until she thought of the time when she was carrying Adam to bed, Andrew was unattended, but there was now way he ate seven cookies! As she was in the midst of contemplating, she heard some eerie footsteps and some spooky chatter coming from the other room. In fear, Hilary rushed to the boys room to do her job, protect them.
- As she arrives to their room, they did not wake up, that is a relief for her. She rushes to start barricading the door, all while hearing the creepy chatters, also she was trying to be quiet as to not wake the boys up. While performing that, she was thinking about how she did not do the ritual properly, and why that is the reason 'this' happened to her!
- After barricading the door, she unfortunately finds the boys awake, they must've woken up by the sounds of her movement and scrambling. She then reads stories to distract them; all the while the chatters are still being heard.
- While reading the stories to her, they all hear knocking in the door; this sends all of them into a state of irreversible fear. As the knocking gets harder, she attempts to convince them to go to sleep as she handles the situation; obviously, they don't budge and want to see the action. Hilary thinks and thinks on what she will do, then suddenly, it hits her...
- *KNOCK... KNOCK... KNOCK...*
- Hilary rushes and opens the curtains (meanwhile the knocking grows louder), she looks over at the driveway and finds the Mitchells' car parked. She virtually facepalms herself and thinks on how the Mitchells have arrived and just entered through the backdoor (that is why she didn't see them), then helped themselves to some cookies and looked for Hilary but didn't find her, that is when they came upstairs to knock!
- *KNOCK... KNOCK... KNOCK...*
- Hilary's fears all vanished, as did the fears of the twins. Hilary went to open the door, sighed of relief when she saw the Mitchells. She then proceeded to tell them the story, the room bursted out laughing!
- The Mitchells then thanked Hillary and led her down the stairs to the exit; they handed her an envelope of cash with the predetermined salary, plus a little bit extra for her fears.
