A LITTLE BIT OF HALLOWEEN VIDEO MISCHIEF
(…and why not…that’s why they came up with this folk festival, right?)

Thinking back about the pranks and other tomfoolery we kids were allowed to indulge in for Halloween, where the name of the game was being able to come up with the most creative and imaginative ones possible…rather than just being nasty, perhaps the following item might qualify as – Adult Entertainment – for the occasion.

SCRIPT OUTLINE FOR A HALLOWEEN VIDEO AD:

Fade in. Interior – Day- Morning,    Background theme- instrumental _Got the World on a String –  We see a lovely young witch in a filmy see-through nightie waking up in bed, yawning, stretching, etc. Cut over to a calendar hanging on a wall of her bedroom, and zoom in to the square marked as Halloween Day.                                                                                                                                             

We cut back to the young witch’s face, looking all happy and excited, it’s her 21^st birthday. She happily hums the theme, as she springs out of bed heading for the bathroom where, still humming, she enters a glass enclosed shower stall. Sounds of the shower with her form faintly visible through the steamed up glass.

Short fade out…now we see her in her undies doing morning exercises, then getting dressed for the day. Fade out.

Now we see her in the kitchen at her breakfast table. A sudden fanfare sound, a magical ping…and a fancy black and gold invitation pops up on the table in front of her. She lets out a happy little squeal as she grabs the invitation, opens it, and her face lights up with sheer happiness. A reverb-ed voice sounds: “Having now come of age at 21, you are hereby qualified to be invited to the Witches Grand Halloween Ball!”  Fade out. Cut to young witch racing out of apartment. Fast flips of her at a beauty shop, getting a facial, a fancy hairdo, then shopping for a slinky low cut, black silk ball gown, pearls, etc Fade out.

Fade in….theme up…as we see our young witch coming home with all her packages. She puts them down on table, turns, tilts her head, looking at camera, as a bright idea lights up her face. Cut to the young witch digging around in her closet, to find and haul out an old dusty looking broomstick. Close up of her hugging it as she whispers….dear old Granny…. I love you!… Fade out…

Fade in …the young witch is cleaning buffing up that old broomstick, a low motor sounds as she wiggles her nose to see if in working order. It’s OK….fade out. Fade In -Interior, night. . the young witch is getting dressed for the ball and prancing around still humming theme – World on a String….

Cut to Exterior. Night. as the young witch, grabs the broom stick, steps outside her door, turns on the broomstick, hops aboard ,  and sails off through the night sky heading for the ball. Fade out.

Fade in … with computer animation…. Showing silhouette of her against full moon, slowly cruising along. Background theme up. Close up on her happy face as she daydreams about all the handsome young warlocks she’ll meet at the ball.

Cut to large looming oak tree. Sudden crashing sound as she hits tree, tumbling down through its branches, landing with hard thump at its base.

Cut to fully disheveled and torn up young witch, with broken broomstick near her. She tries wiggling her nose, but her magic powers have been knocked out by the crash. She can’t put herself or the broomstick together again. She starts crying, boohooing.

Cut to….old warlock in fancy coat and tails tux, cape, and top hat, cruising by. He hears the young witch’s crying, so zooms down to investigate, and lands next to her.

Cut to old warlock as he says:”M’Dear…what’s the matter? What happened?”

Cut to crying young witch, saying between sniffles: “I crashed into this tree. I’m all messed up, my broomstick is broken, and my magical powers have been knocked out. I’m going to miss the ball!” Cries even more and harder.

Cut back to old warlock, giving her a comforting pat on the shoulder, saying: “Not to worry, m’dear, I can fix that.” He snaps his fingers. Cut back to young witch…now all pretty and gussied up again, Her crying has stopped. She’s all grateful smiles, saying: “Oh, thank you so much…this is wonderful! But… what about my Granny’s broomstick? It’s my first ball, and I was going to make a grand entrance with it.”

Cut back to old warlock, grinning,  as he puts his arm around her shoulders, saying:”No, problem!”, as he pulls out a small pill box from a pocket, flips open the lid, and a bright blue light shines up out of it, as he says:”This bit of magic can fix any broken broomstick!”

Cut to young witch’s face, with intrigued look on it, as she looks down at the blue light glowing out of the pill box , and says…”Really? What’s it called?”

Big orchestral fanfare. Cut to old warlock’s face leering at the camera, using the Groucho Marx cigar shtick, and exclaiming: “VIAGRA!” Cut.

Screen goes blank….as young witch’s giggling voice exclaims: “Oh, Mr. Warlock…Oh, my!”                                                 CUT—-END

Well, as they say, why should the kids have all the fun? Happy Halloween!
