INT. BOOKSTORE - DAY GREGORY PHOENIX (late 30s, charming and a famous actor) enters the bookstore. ONYX HIDALGO (mid-20s, enigmatic, passionate, horror film geek, bookworm and bookstore owner) is sorting through a pile of books, startled by his sudden presence. ONYX (shocked) Way to scare a girl that’s hard to frighten. GREGORY (nervous) Sorry for the abrupt entrance. The reason for it is... He pauses, shoving his hands in the back pockets of his jeans. GREGORY I need a recommendation—a good starting point in this whole scene. He gestures around Onyx’s bookstore with a nod of his head, as if it's a new concept that just hit a frenzy. Onyx looks up, her eyes meeting Gregory's. ONYX (V.O.) We met in my bookstore, a place where horror films and thriller novels meet. GREGORY (desperate) Look, I need to do some research for my latest film. Based on your knowledge of my previous work, you can probably guess that I’m not exactly a connoisseur of this genre. ONYX (V.O.) So, like any good bookstore owner and horror fan would, I decided to help him. FADE TO BLACK. TEXT ON COMING SEPTEMBER, FRIDAY THE 13TH.
