#9: "House of Wax"

This movie deserves unending love... PARIS HILTON DIES!!!

Since this clip is so long, I'll only write about the first five minutes.

The first thing that would be an important detail to have in the script is the small gesture in which Carly (in yellow) puts her hand to her nose. This indicates that whatever she and Paige (in blue) are walking towards is ominous and potentially dangerous.

I also think that it's important that Carly fidgets and squirms in the pit of roadkill. It shows that she's genuinely freaked out and not happy with all of the blood and slime on her hands. When she tries to hoist herself out of the mess, it might me signifying that this is the turning point in which there is no point of return and they are, for lack of a better word, screwed.

A very important detail, just for the creepy factor, is to have the maggot crawl over the hand in the roadkill pit. At this point, we do not know what the body is doing there, and it keeps the audience watching.

When Dalton (wearing the red hat) gags/retches, it represents how horrible the smell really must be, which is important to show the intensity of the smell of rotting animal carcasses. It also may give them an estimate as to how long the pit has been there and how often the dead are dumped in it.

#8 - Haikus

I'm am a veggie.
Meat is decomposing flesh.
Why would you eat that?

Cheese is amazing.
Lactose intolerance sucks.
I would really die.

Veggie burgers rock.
They sound really gross, I know.
But cheese makes it awesome.

Also, just for shits and giggles... I didn't write this, but I love it.

Haikus are easy,
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
