Some of you may remember the THOH ideas I posted earlier. I've started on Grimes Lives. Let me here what you think of it so far. It's the first time a write a script like this, so I apolgize for any spelling errors or other stuff.
---
The opening sequence starts with a trip through the Springfield graveyard.
The first tombstone is shown: R.I.P - Scratchy. Another one is shown titled Scratchy. The next three tombstones is also Scratchy's. The next one also has Scratchy written on it. The lightning flashes and strikes into the tombstone, blowing it to picees, as the smoke clears, the Simpsons living room is shown, the family runs to the couch as usual, but the couch transforms into The Blob and devours the family. Then it increases in size and fills the hole room.
GRIMES LIVES
-SPRINGFIELD CEMETERY -NIGHT
A person dressed in a dark blue raincoat walks into the cemetery, his face remains unseen due to his hood and he also holds a shovel and a bag. He walks along a row of tombstones, we follow him and his flashlight as he searches. He points at the graves with his flashlight. The beam hits a tombstone with the name: Marvin Monroe. The person starts to walk deeper into the cemetery, pointing at several other graves, Ray Barclay, Roger Myers Senior and Maude Flanders. None of them seem to be the one he's looking for. Suddenly the beam hits a dirty, weed-covered stone with "GRIMES" written on it. The raincoated person removes his hood and shows his face to the camera; It's Frank Grimes. Jr.
He drives the shovel into the ground and starts to dig. Again and again the shovel strike, digging into the earth.
SLOW DISSOLVE TO:
THE SHOVEL (LATER)
is scraping the dirt of of a rotted coffin lid.
ANGLE UP - ON Grimes Jr.
He tosses the shovel aside and into the pile of dirt next to the grave. He moves his hand into his jacket and pulls out a book titled: NECROMANCY FOR DUMMIES. He turns several pages then finds the section he's looking for; RESSURECTION. With his free hand he pulls out a small bag filled with white powder. He pours it in the shape of a large cirkular symbol on the coffin lid. Then inserts the bag into his pocket. He then studies his book and starts to speak loudly.
FRANK GRIMES JR: YDDERF, NOSAJ, YKCUHC, LEAHCIM. OH MIGHTY HADES, ALLOW YOUR PRISONER OF DEATH TO WALK AMONG THE LIVING ONCE MORE. GIMME THE POWER I BEG OF YOU!
LIGHTNING FLASHES IN THE BAKGROUND
Grimes. Jr shuts up and studies the grave. Nothing has happened.
FRANK GRIMES JR: Lemme see, poured the magic powder, said the magic words... Oh! (Reads from the book) "In order to complete the ressurection, a drop of blood from the deceased's closest living relative must be spilled on the symbol". He closes the book, inserts it inside his raincoat and pulls out a hunting knife, then raises his thumb. But before he can puncture the skin, a large lightbeam hits and him, followed by Wiggum's voice.
WIGGUM: FREEZE NUTCASE! YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE SLAMMER!
Grimes. Jr manages to focus his eyes and discovers a police car with Wiggum, Lou and Eddie standing in front of it.
WIGGUM: ALRIGHT JAILBIRD YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. PUT AWAY THAT THING OR I'LL VENTILATE YA!
Grimes is not villing to surrender and he raises his armed hand. But before he can throw the knife at them, Wiggum has fired two shots in his chest, killing him. Grimes. Jr lands on the coffin. Blood slowly stars to rin out of the bullet wounds and on the coffin lid.
Wiggum turns around to Eddie and Lou.
WIGGUM: Allright boys, let's clean up this mess and get outta here.
LOU: Uh, Chief isn't the forensics' job to clean up the crime scene?
WIGGUM: Well, I had to to fire them because of the low budget.
EDDIE: Maybe you shouldn't spend it on a new paintjob on your house.
WIGGUM: Shut up!
CUT TO: FRANK GRIMES' EYES INSIDE THE COFFIN. SUDDENLY HIS DECOMPOSED EYELIDS FLASH OPEN!
OUTSIDE THE COFFIN.
A rotted, burnt arm punches through the coffin, followed by another one, finally Grimes hole body bursts through the coffin, dirt and rotted wood picees fly everywere. The cops turn in the direction of the noise, and sees the risen Grimes stepping out of his grave. He steps in to the lightbeam, allowing us to see his unpleasant-looking features mutch clearer. His clothes are thorn and dirty and more decomposed flesh can be seen through the the holes. He has some elctrical burns on his throath and cheeks as well as several rotmarks. The cops stare at the horrendous creature with a shocked excpresion on their faces. Grimes slowly raises his left hand and whipes the bugs of the rotted remains of his face. Then hits himself on the left side of the head and some dirt and bugs falls out of his right ear.
He then picks up his son's hunting knife off the ground and starts to approach the cops.
WIGGUM(yells at Ed and Lou) WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? CHRISTMAS? SHOOT!
Two bullets plough through Grimes stomach. He budges a bit backwards but otherwise shows no sign of injury and continues to walk towards them.
WIGGUM: SHOOT HIM IN THE CHEST. IN THE CHEST!
Both three continue to fire several more resultless bullets. Grimes raises his hand higher, and throws away his knife. It thwurls through the air and hits Lou in the chest. He drops dead. Grimes pulls up the knife and Lou's gun and shoots Eddie in the chest. Eddie grabs his chest and stares with a confused look.
EDDIE: Damn, I only had 24 years left to retirement.
Eddie drops dead. Frank Grimes shoves the gun and the knife into his pockets and grabs Wiggum by the throath and places his head in the car door. Then he closes the car door really fast, (Sort of like Homer did to Barney in Duffless) but just as it's about to impact with Wiggum's neck the screen cuts to black. A large slam and a crack is heard.
CUT TO: ITCHY AND SCRATCHY ON TV SCREEN.
Scratchy's headless body is walking around blindly while Itchy stands in the background laughing maniacly.
CUT TO: INSIDE MOE'S TAVERN.
Moe and his customers(Homer, Barney and Barfly 1 and 2) laughs at the cartoon.
HOMER: Y'know, it's great to see that stuff again, I almost forgot how funny pointless violence is.
BARNEY: Yeah, I liked it to, but don't you think it's a bit to nasty?
MOE: Well, that one was a halloween special, they are usally more gory.
BARNEY: Hey, Homer weren't you supposed to work the nightshift?
HOMER: I got Lenny to cover for me. No-one will notice I'm gone anyway. That plant's a dead place.
CUT TO: POWER PLANT
A copcar with a dented, bloody cardoor is parked outside the the plant. Muddy footprints can be seen at the ground outside the door.
CUT TO: POWER PLANT HALLWAY
Grimes is walking down the hallway, slowly moving his head back and forth as he is searching for something or someone. Suddenly he stops. A sign has gained his attention. The sign says: SECTOR 7-G. Grimes starts to walk in the direction the signs's arrow.
