Close up
on young OTTO. A boy of eight. His eyes open wide a smile on his face
as he wakes up from his sleep. It is very early christmas morning.
OTTO:
<Santa?>

1.3
The
empty bed of Otto, the sheets pulled back and left in a hurry as he
rushes out to find Santa. The fuzzy dark blue light of pre dawn
casting a chill over the room.
NO COPY.
1.4
Otto holds on to the banister as he creeps as quietly as can down the
stairs. A doorway has been left ajar in the hallway running next to
the staircase. A pool of light, flickering red and green spills from
the half open door.
NO COPY.
1.5
Close up
on Otto his face illuminated by the same flickering lights as he
peaks in past the doorway, still to scared to enter and really meet
santa.
OTTO:
<Is,
is that you Santa?>
1.6
Large
panel. Cut to inside the living room. A huge and beautifully
decorated christmas tree twinkles with red and green lights.
KRAMPUS
stands tall next to it, hunched over to fit into the room designed
for humans. Krampus, is covered in blood red fur, he stands on two
legs each with a large hoof in place of a foot, his hands have bird
like talons, his face sharp and harsh, his nose more like a beak than
a nose. Atop his head or a set of large rabbit like ears and a pair
of twisted and savage looking horns. His belly is huge and round, but
not jolly like Santa's.
(lettering
note: Krampus speaks with a rough and scratchy font.)
KRAMPUS:
Didn't
your mother tell you? You're on the naughty list little Otto.
1.7
Cut back
to Otto's room. The sheets still pulled back exactly as Otto left
them. The room is now filled with a bright light from the christmas
morning sun.
NO COPY.
Great last panel. Haunting.
