JACK this place is creepy. Like it’s haunted with zombies. MARIA (Walking beside him) Jack, zombies ain’t real. I dunno what you’ve been reading, but it’s just a story. (Sees a church graveyard. Turns to Jack with a grin) JACK (Already knows what she’s thinking) No. MARIA Yes. JACK No. MARIA Suit yourself (Walks away into the graveyard) (It’s dark, like it’s haunted. Fog covers the land, and the sky is green. A figure, not human, is behind her. She sees him, it’s Arthur. But…not him) MARIA Ah! ARTHUR ZOMBIE Maria…. (Maia backs away bumping into zombie John Marston. She turns around and sees him) MARIA Jesus Christ! (Runs away grabbing Jack) INTENSE INSTRUMENTAL BEGINS - RUNNING AWAY] MARIA (Running) Jack, I don’t want to alarm you, but I think I saw a— JACK (Yelling) ZOMBIE! [SONG STARTS] ARTHUR (Zombie) & JOHN (Zombie) (Singing together, slow and eerie) Don’t believe what you’ve heard, ‘cause here is the deal. There is no need to panic, ‘cause zombies ain’t real! JACK (As Mugman - Singing frantically) You said they ain't real! They seem pretty real! MARIA (As Cuphead - Singing frantically) Listen, Jackie, we're caught in a jam, Pipe down, 'cause we gotta scram! ARTHUR & JOHN (Zombies) We don’t believe in living! We don’t need a fright! Just want to eat your brains! On this dead-end night! JACK (Running, firing backward. Spoken) I CAN'T TAKE THIS! MARIA (Firing, spoken) KEEP RUNNING! [MUSIC CUTS ABRUPTLY] INT. BARN - NIGHT Maria and Jack slam the barn doors shut, barricading it. They are panting. Maria turns to him, clutching her hat, trying to act tough but scared. MARIA I know it's scary, Jack, but you gotta stop chattering your teeth! JACK My teeth aren't chattering! MARIA (lights up her match and sees skeletons around the making the teeth chattering sound) JACK & MARIA AH! (Jack blows out the match)
You might be wondering, “why is Jack terrified? He’s a depressed man!” True, but he also didn’t go through zombies like his father due to Abigail biting him and turning him into a zombie. So yeah, I’d be terrified too.
