FADE IN

A young man, ERNEST, is going to buy his first car. He goes to the dealership and pick out an aqua Chevy Fleetmaster.

ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DEALERSHIP

MEDIUM SHOT of driving

On his way home he notices the headlight flickering. He pulls over and fiddles with the headlamp.

MEDIUM CLOSEUP OF HEADLAMP

He gives it a kick and it stops, and keeps going on his way. It starts up again. The man goes out to inspect the front of the car.

CLOSEUP OF ERNEST’S FACE

He looks at the headlamp and swears he could see a shape moving around in it.

CLOSEUP OF HEADLAMP, FACE-ON

It stops after a while, ERNEST is drving again on the road. All of a sudden it starts strobing violently. As he is driving the police officer calls him to pull over.

TWO SHOT

CONSTABLE: Pull over, young man, You are going to have to get that headlight fixed.

Ernest talks as he gets out of the car.

ERNEST: I swear, officer, I got it to stop a minute ago.

As they are talking, a silhouette moves across the headlight. Thrashing about

ERNEST: Did you see that?

CONSTABLE: What?

Ernest: Something moved, in there.

CONSTABLE: Stop playing games, son.

ERNEST: But…

The silhouette starts to calm down slightly and appears to be huddling in a corner of the headlamp. ERNEST is staring at it intently. Then the silhouette turns around and blinks at him. It then does a mock “play dead” gesture.

SUDDEN FLASHBACK

CLOSEUP

Ernest remembers a grave on the side of the road he always saw.

Back to the present

ERNEST: Sorry officer, I have to go now

CONSTABLE: Now stop right there!

ERNEST goes into the car and drives off. The officer is in pursuit.

CUT to headstone. It reads “IN MEMORY OF CLAIRE WILLOW”

ERNEST’S car drives in from offscreen. The headlight is blinking steadily.

MEDIUM SHOT, FRONT OF THE CAR.

The car rattles as the headlights start increasing in their blinking again. A ghost comes out and puts her hand on the headstone. Then looks to the two men. They both stare back in shock. She is then released, appearing to dissolve away.
