A man was watching the TV; his favourite horror movie was on. He was slowly drifting, drifting off to sleep. An hour passes and he wakes up. His eyes misty and his face drawing closer and closer to the TV. He hears a scream ahh, and realises what he must do. He leapt to his feet his eyes weary as if they were blank. He walks into the kitchen and pulls a machete from the draw. In a gloomy voice he says she will die tonight... It’s a horror film and some characters that I would have in my Courtney Cox (from scream) Jaime lee Curtis from the (Halloween series.)
