Reyes screenplay
Peter (on screen): Beneath the pale, smoke-like clouds, the moon hangs as a dim yellow light in the sky. There is a faint whimper of a poor soul has taken their last breath. In their last tragic moments, with what strength they had, they reached their cold fading hands to the sky, closed their eyes and prayed, knowing then and there, at that moment, that they couldn’t do anything to stop their fate.
The only salvation you can hope for now is the sweet mercy that comes to you when death scrapes its claws around your neck to quiet the soft slow pulsing coming from what’s left of what’s hiding under your dry, cracked ribcage. It whispers to you gently, “Your end too, is near.”
Zoe and Colleen (facing each other):
In the blackness evil lies,
To rip the sunshine from your eyes
You shall listen to our words
Our tragic story shall be heard
When you enter your haunted dreams
You’ll find out how demons scheme.
(Note: In the movie Poltergeist, there is a woman who narrates. Her voice is eerie and slow. It adds to the overall affect of fear in the movie.)
Colleen (faces audience): I am Scelena…
Zoe (faces audience): and my name is Carmen…
Zoë and Coleen (slowly turn with backs to audience): This is the story of our tragic end.
Zoe: Run! Go!
Colleen: Are they still behind us?
Zoe: I really don’t want to find out!
Coleen: *screams*
Zoe: *gasp of terror*
(John Mattingly walks on with his face and clothes all bloody)
John: Just where do you two think you’re going?!
Zoe: No where! (Nervously)
Jason: Surely you must be headed somewhere…
Coleen: I assure you we’ve got no business anywhere else…
Jason: *calmly and deviously* what a lie.
(Jason approaches Colleen to intimidate her and appear threatening)
Anna: You’re wasting time boys…
John: You’re no fun, Giselle! (Anna is Giselle)
Anna: (Approaches Colleen and Zoe)

Henry David Thoreau, Edgar Allan Poe
& Transcendentalists in today’s world
By Zoë Lauren Dixon
Period C, Mrs. Shomphe
To the men of the 1800s transcendentalist movement, nature resided in all of its glory, as a “green” age of connection and oneness emerged under a new belief of a conscious, living entity existing in and above all things and all people. Even though this concept seemed new then, that same spirit can be traced back decades earlier to quiet poets and writers who struggled through the hardships of their own worlds. One such quiet, tormented soul was Edgar Allan Poe. (Earle)
As a poet, Edgar Allan Poe had typically shown the hardships and confusion of both life and death, in all aspects of his work. The transcendentalist in him is revealed in the dangers and magnificent sides of nature and the unstoppable god-like forces seen in short stories of Poe’s such as “the Fall of the House of Usher”: A short story in which a trusted friend looks after a disheveled old man who comes face to face with his worst fears as he buries his cataleptic twin sister. Upon her eerie return to him, the old man ultimately faces his own end and the collapse of their family, which at the end of the story, lies buried beneath the rubble of their house. (Wohlpart)
In “the fall of the House of Usher”, the house is presented as the enemy. It is the symbol of the family itself in all of its naturally existing evil. It represents the inevitable forces which no man has the power to control. However, in this story, (especially in Poe's works), man loses himself and nature, in all its dark magnificence, consumes the hearts and minds of its subjects, bringing forth a twisted greater good.
(Cumming Study)
Poe’s transcendentalism also comes out in other works like “The Telltale Heart”, the story of a young man who, upon working in servitude to an elderly gentleman, decides that he must kill him to silence the horrifying distraction that is this gentleman’s cold, vulture-like eye. After the murder, the young man is questioned by the police when he loses his mind and end’s up telling the police where he’s hidden the body; if only it would stop the echoing sound of the evil old man’s beating heart. This also shows that although Poe's stories reflect transcendentalist ideas, they too often carry the theme of men being destroyed by a greater unstoppable power as a result of being too lost within them. These works most definitely reflect Poe's views on himself and the world around him. He probably felt that he was being consumed by these same unstoppable, natural evils. (Book Rags)
Unlike Poe, Thoreau focuses on nature in a graceful tone as something peaceful and crucial to the survival and experience of men. Differences in Poe and Thoreau’s works are visible from a distance. Just by looking at titles like, “the Summer Rain,” “the Inward Morning,” and “The Moon” Readers are given an idea of Thoreau’s intentions. “The Moon”, is a story which complements the graceful, natural beauty of the moon as well as paying great honor to it personifying it almost as goddess. (American Trans)
Thoreau devotes himself to all that is natural in the world around him. Where Poe deems nature cruel and unforgiving, Thoreau preserves all of its beauty and magnificence, honoring its grace and connection with Humanity. Poe’s characters are immersed within his as well as his character’s own trials. As a result of this exposure to a dangerous side of nature, Poe’s men lose their minds as they explore the Human condition. (American Trans)
Thoreau’s “Epitaph to the World”, gives the Earth humanistic qualities, displaying its need for attention and its own journey and past as if Human. Thoreau and Poe both have the acknowledgement of nature in itself and both of them connect man to nature, not as powerful as it. Nature to them is something higher. Transcendentalists like Henry David Thoreau and Edgar Allan Poe can be found among many cultures today. One such example of these transcendentalists is a New Age phenomenon involving alleged spiritually enlightened children believed to be born on Earth in the past 20 years. They call themselves the Indigo Children. Although there is no scientific proof that such children exist. The children themselves and the people around say that these children are empathetic towards nature and animals and tend to believe in the coming of a universal spiritual enlightenment under one universal entity which connects all living things to Earth and to each other. (Carroll)(American Trans)
These children can apparently be from across the world and all share the curious attribute of having a dark blue light seen around them. They call this their aura or “a subtly pervasive quality or atmosphere seen as emanating from a person, place, or thing.” (Dictionary.com)
Just as in call of the wild, a young man seeks meaning in the non-material material in his life; New Aged culture encourages a life without the need of lofty belongings. In conclusion Thoreau and his followers are not like Poe, allegedly believing in an over-soul. Yet their ideas are the same in that they both carry the same sense of knowing of what else could possibly dwell outside the Human existence in all its cosmic inevitability and supremacy. (Carroll)

Poe’s transcendentalist side also comes out in other works like “The Telltale Heart”, the story of a young man who, upon working in servitude to an old man, decides that he must kill this old man to silence the horrifying distraction that is this man’s eye. After his murder, the young man is questioned by the police when he loses his mind and end’s up telling the police where he’s hidden the body; if only it would stop the echoing sound of the evil old man’s beating heart. Though Poe’s stories are dark, they almost too often carry the same theme of men being destroyed by some greater force as a result of being lost themselves and most probably reflect Poe’s views for himself, maybe in feeling that he was being consumed by these same unstoppable natural evils.
Unlink Poe’s Thoreau, seems to focus in a more graceful tone looking at natures more beautiful light. These differences are visible from a distance, just by looking at titles like, “The Summer Rain,” “the Inward morning,” and “The Moon”; a poem about just what it entails. “The Moon”, is a story complimenting its graceful, natural state and pays a great honor to its beauty, painting it almost like a goddess.
Unlike Poe, Thoreau almost worships all that is natural in all of its beauty and magnificence where as Poe almost dashes it portraying it’s more dangerous sides yet still honoring its superiority. Where Poe’s men lose their minds, Thoreau’s men explore the Human mind and character as shown in Thoreau’s “Epitaph to the World”, in which he gives the Earth almost humanistic qualities, displaying its need for attention and its own journey an past just like man’s. Thoreau and Poe both have the acknowledgement of nature in itself and both of them connect man to nature, not as powerful as it. Nature to them is something higher. Transcendentalists like Henry David Thoreau and Edgar Allan Poe can be found among many cultures today. One such example of these transcendentalists is a New Age phenomenon involving alleged spiritually enlightened children believed to be born on Earth in the past 20 years.

Just as in call of the wild, a young man seeks meaning in the non-material material in his life; New Aged culture encourages a life without the need of lofty belongings. They, like Thoreau allegedly believe in an over soul and that though the world has stumbled into a dark age full of consumerism, that it can be brought out through nature, into something ultimately peaceful.
