        10     NATHANIEL WEISBURG'S HIDEOUT                            10

               It is all dark and only extreme close ups of hands,
               eyes and mouths. Silk is strapped to a table, he is
               hypnotized.

                                   SILK
                         What do you plan to do with
                         that, Boss?

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         I plan to test this machine
                         out and show this city who
                         really is the leader of their
                         pitiful world.

                                   SILK
                         I thought you had to plug it
                         into...

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         Shush Silk, this is only a
                         test. 

                                   SILK
                         Right boss.

               Nathaniel turns the dial on the front to a setting
               called 'Uncanny' 

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         This will be most
                         interesting. 

               Nathaniel Weisburg turns on the machine.



        11     SILK`S FIRST UNCANNY SESSION                            11

               Silk is standing in a forest, he is all alone but
               hears noises coming from the distance. He walks a
               few steps and sees something come out from behind
               the trees. It is the Wendigo!

                                   SILK
                            (under his breath)
                         The Wendigo...

               Silk's face goes blank with terror and he turns and
               begins to run away, the wendigo moves slowly but
               seems to be gaining on him.



        12     THE UNCANNY BEEFART AND CHEENKAW                        12

               Time slows down and Beefart and Cheenkaw are eating
               their Chinese food. They are suddenly in a dark
               room, and there is nothing but a small table on the
               other side of the room from them.

                                   BEEFART
                         Cheenkaw! What is happening?

                                   CHEENKAW
                         I have no idea.. I don't know
                         if we have been transported
                         somewhere or if or minds have
                         been invaded.

                                   BEEFART
                         Never mind that now! Look at
                         that table!

               The table starts moving closer to them.. Very
               slowly.

                                   BEEFART (cont'd)
                         If we don't find a way out of
                         this, in a few minutes that
                         table is gonna reach us!



        13     THE UNCANNY MARLA                                       13

               Marla is with Professor Hamsworth in a class room
               when all the lights go dim and time slows down just
               like it did with Beefart & Cheenkaw.

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         Marla, something strange is
                         happening!

                                   MARLA
                         I can see that.. 

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         Where are we?

               They are suddenly in a field with nothing around
               them. Professor Hamsworth is wearing a strange
               mask.



        14     THE UNCANNY BEEFART AND CHEENKAW PART TWO               14

               The table is getting closer, Beefart is freaking
               out and shooting at it. Cheenkaw is trying to go in
               to a trace.



        15     SILK AND THE WENDIGO                                    15

               The Wendigo is on top of Silk and they are
               struggling, suddenly the wendigo takes a bite out
               of Silk's arm.



        16     NATHANIEL WEISBURG'S MACHINE IS TURNED OFF              16

               Nathaniel Weisburg turns the machine off and you
               can see that Silk is on the table with a huge bite
               taken out of his arm, he is waking up from the
               machine and the hypnotism.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         Silk, wake up! Come out of
                         your trance! 
                            (he snaps his fingers
                              and calls out to
                              Sylvia, who is also
                              in a trance)
                         Sylvia! Would you please
                         escort Silk to the hospital,
                         he seems to have accidentally
                         jabbed himself in the
                         shoulder with a very sharp
                         pencil, while writing out a
                         receipt for a spot light.

                                   SILK
                            (groggy)
                         Pencil... spot light...
                         accident.. I'm such a
                         clutz...

               Sylvia comes over and helps silk off the desk and
               they walk away.

                                   SYLVIA
                         Come along Silk, you have a
                         nasty cut that needs to be
                         taken care of.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                            (to himself)
                         The machine works better than
                         I ever imagined.

               He checks the dials on the machine.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG (cont'd)
                         However it seems like there
                         was some spill over and Silk
                         wasn't the only one affected
                         in this experiment. A few
                         more adjustments and the
                         radius of the machine's
                         energy will be controlled.
                         First I will take over the
                         city, and then the country,
                         and eventually the whole
                         world will be under the
                         control of my machine. Every
                         man, woman and child will be
                         flung in to the depths of
                         their own minds and will be
                         trap within the house of the
                         uncanny.



        17     AT THE SCHOOL                                           17

               Marla and Professor Hamsworth are back in the
               class.

                                   MARLA
                         I don't know what just
                         happened, but I didn't like
                         it.

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         So you experienced that as
                         well... This is alarming,
                         mass hallucination maybe?
                         It was so real, the barrier
                         between what we just
                         experienced and what we
                         perceive as reality is far
                         too thin.

                                   MARLA
                         I'll see what the guys have
                         to say about it... 

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         By guys, you mean those
                         bumbling fools Beefart and
                         Cheenkaw?

                                   MARLA
                         They aren't fools sir. I know
                         what they say in the papers,
                         but it's not true.

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         I know they are your friends,
                         and that you fancy yourself a
                         partner in their strange
                         little investigations. But
                         Marla, the outlandish tales
                         of their exploits are
                         thoroughly documented. They
                         are charlatans, using the
                         public to solve the real
                         cases for them, and making up
                         fantastic stories for the
                         press to make themselves seem
                         like some kind of super
                         heros.

                                   MARLA
                         You're wrong Professor
                         Hamsworth, They are the most
                         intelligent people I have
                         ever met.
                         Sure their methods are
                         unorthodox, but they treat
                         people with respect, whether
                         the people know it or not.
                         And as for using the public..
                         It's not like that at all,
                         they can see strengths and
                         weaknesses and they use
                         gentleness, humour and a
                         belief in all that is right
                         to save the world time and
                         time again. They are true
                         heros.

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         But the insane stories...
                         It's fiction my dear!

                                   MARLA
                         I just captured a half Goat
                         half Man with them.. Last
                         week we fought a reptilian
                         squid that arrived on Earth
                         from the dark side of the
                         moon. I saw these things with
                         my own eyes Professor. The
                         universe is a much bigger
                         place than this university
                         campus.. And even bigger than
                         every book in the library. We
                         haven't really got the
                         slightest clue what it is all
                         really about.


        18     BEEFART AND CHEENKAW CAN RELAX                          18

               The ordeal is over, Beefart and Cheenkaw are on the
               floor of their office.

                                   BEEFART
                         What the hell was that?

                                   CHEENKAW
                         I have no idea. I was trying to
                         use my hypnotic powers to pin
                         point the cause, but there
                         seemed to be some kind of
                         psychic barrier preventing me
                         from getting out of that world.

                                   BEEFART
                         Do you think it was an attack
                         directed at us?

                                   CHEENKAW
                         That's a good question. Why
                         don't you get on the phone and
                         see if anyone else has had a
                         similar experience. I'll go
                         next door.

                                   BEEFART
                         Next door? Are you seriously
                         gonna go ask that guy for help?

                                   CHEENKAW
                         Well, he is only a few meters
                         away.. It would be a good
                         indication if this was only
                         aimed at us or not.

                                   BEEFART
                         You are a smart man Cheenkaw.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         I know, I know...

               Beefart gets on the phone and Cheenkaw exits.



        19     SILK GETS A TRANSFUSION                                 19

               Silk is in a hospital bed and there is a doctor
               with him. Silk is unconscious. A nurse comes in
               with a bag of blood.

                                   NURSE
                         Here it is Doctor, I had to
                         get it from the blood
                         archives in the basement! We
                         only had one bag of it in the
                         entire hospital.

                                   DOCTOR
                         His blood type is so rare.. I
                         have never even heard of it
                         before.. What the hell is
                         type BO negative anyway?

                                   NURSE
                         I don't know, but we are
                         lucky this guy decided to
                         donate some.. I hope it still
                         works.

               The doctor is finished setting up the transfusion.

                                   DOCTOR
                         This poor kid has lost so
                         much blood, it is a miracle
                         we had some. When did this
                         blood come in anyway?

               The nurse looks over the sheet.

                                   NURSE
                         Wow.. This came in 20 years
                         ago.. Some fellow named Rolf
                         Tompson.

                                   DOCTOR
                         Well.. I think this kid will
                         be okay. I guess this Rolf
                         Tompson guy is a hero..
                         Whoever he is.



        20     CHEENKAW VISITS DETECTIVE CROWN                         20

               Cheenkaw is outside Det. Crown's office in the
               hallway. His door has his name on it. DETECTIVE
               CROWN PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.
               Cheenkaw knocks and then walks right in. Crown is
               sitting at a desk and his secretary Babette is
               sitting on the desk and looks up. He has a display
               case with C-3PO and R2-D2 action figures inside
               somewhere in his office.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         Hey Crown.

                                   DETECTIVE CROWN
                         Hey Cheenkaw... What the hell
                         are you doing here? I don't
                         think your rent is due for a
                         few more weeks!

                                   CHEENKAW
                         Serious business I'm afraid.
                         Did you just have a strange
                         experience? 

               Crown looks at him weird.

                                   DETECTIVE CROWN
                         What kind of strange
                         experience? 

                                   CHEENKAW
                         For instance, were you
                         attacked by any office
                         furniture in the last hour or
                         so?

                                   DETECTIVE CROWN
                         Cheenkaw, you're a dick.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         It's my job Ken. Sorry to
                         waste your time.

               Cheenkaw turns around to leave.

                                   BABETTE
                         Cheenkaw, wait.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         Yes Babette? What is it?

                                   BABETTE
                         A few minutes ago I was
                         certain I was very small and
                         in that game mousetrap.. You
                         know the boardgame from when
                         we were kids? Yeah.. And this
                         giant mouse was trying to eat
                         me.. But all of a sudden I
                         was back here again. I'm sure
                         I just nodded off for a
                         minute.. But it was the most
                         real dream I ever had.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         That's fantastic! Crown! Did
                         you see Babette while this
                         was happening?

                                   DETECTIVE CROWN
                         She has been here with me the
                         whole time. I was doing some
                         paperwork and she was just
                         being very quiet over on the
                         couch. I thought she was
                         asleep too.. She woke with a
                         start and came over her a few
                         minutes ago.

                                   CHEENKAW
                         So she didn't disappear or
                         anything?

                                   DETECTIVE CROWN
                         No! You are an idiot
                         Cheenkaw.. Get your monster
                         hunting ass out of my office
                         and quit harassing poor
                         Babette!

               Cheenkaw Slams the door behind him.



        21     THE REALIZATION OF BEEFART AND CHEENKAW                 21

               Back in Beefart & Cheenkaw's office.

                                   BEEFART
                         Every single person I have
                         talked to has had a weird
                         experience or strange dream
                         in the last hour, except
                         about 7. Look, I made a map.
                         Marla even has something very
                         weird happen, and she said
                         her boyfriend is missing. 

                                   CHEENKAW
                         Good job Beefart. Turn on the
                         radio... This may be bigger
                         than just us.. For once.

               Beefart turns on the radio as they look at the map.
               There are red pins all over downtown and the 7
               green pins are beyond the radius of the machine's
               power.

               The radio announcer:

               To recap the strange incident that took place
               tonight, all over the downtown core people have
               reported bizarre hallucinations between 12:34 am
               and 12:45 tonight. City officials say that the
               strange mass attack on our city has been attributed
               to a gas leak downtown, and is now said to be under
               control. 

                                   BEEFART
                         Gas leak my ass.



        22     SILK HAS A NIGHTMARE IN THE HOSPITAL                    22

               Silk is laying in his hospital bed and the blood is
               dripping away in to his body. The lights go weird
               and suddenly Bo-Bo-Baboon-Boy is dancing at the
               foot of his bed. Silk is still unconscious. 



        23     BO-BO AWAKENS IN SPACE                                  23

               In the depth of Space The Spidapple spaceship is on
               it's destination to the prison planet with it's
               cargo.. Bo-Bo!

               As the blood drips into Silk's veins, Bo-Bo awakens
               in the ship. He breaks free of the metal bindings
               that keep him strapped down and alarms in the ship
               go off. A robot voice comes on the intercom
               'Attention, Emergency! Alien has woken up from
               hibernation and has broken free! Warning! All
               security units to the detention area!' A door
               slides open and there are 6 apples floating
               outside, they are fitted with laser guns and start
               shooting at Bo-Bo. He gets knocked back a bit and
               grabs a pipe that is on the wall, he rips it off
               and smashes down on all the apple people. There is
               a shot of the exterior of the ship and the sounds
               of screams. Bo-Bo is now in the control room of the
               ship. 'Warning! All members of the crew are now
               dead!' Switching over all navigation to remaining
               life form on board... Scanning brain for new
               destination... Scan complete.. New course for Earth
               calculated. Captain Larry Johnson now in control.'
               The space ship turns around and starts heading for
               Earth.



        24     SILK LEAVES THE HOSPITAL                                24

               Silk wakes up and pulls the IV out of his arm. He
               looks around and leaves the room.



        25     THE MOSQUITO ARRIVES IN CALGARY                         25

               It is a new day and The Mosquito is walking in to
               Calgary.

                                   THE MOSQUITO
                         First thing to do is to find
                         some criminals to test out my
                         new found super powers.

               She closes her eyes and she can hear the sound of
               the Police radio... 'We need a unit over by the old
               bingo hall, there is a 10-34 going down right
               now...'

                                   THE MOSQUITO (cont'd)
                         Seems like as good a place as
                         any to start my mission of
                         peace.

               She runs off.



        26     MARLA AND SILK HAVE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT WORK              26

               Marla is in her and Silk's apartment sitting on the
               bed when Silk walks in.

                                   MARLA
                         Where have you been? I have
                         been trying to call all
                         night? And.. What happened to
                         your arm?

                                   SILK
                         It's nothing.. I think I cut
                         myself on a pencil. I ended
                         up at the hospital.. I don't
                         know where my phone went.

                                   MARLA
                         You could have used a pay
                         phone or something.

                                   SILK
                         Marla.. There was nothing in
                         my pants.

                                   MARLA
                         What the hell are you talking
                         about?

                                   SILK
                         I mean I had no change in my
                         pockets... Listen..
                         I feel like hell, can we talk
                         about this when I get home
                         from work?

                                   MARLA
                         Work? Are you seriously still
                         gonna go to that strange
                         place? Whereever, and
                         whatever it is?

                                   SILK
                         Of course not, if you knew
                         the things that.... Yes, I am
                         going there.. It is of the
                         utmost importance.

                                   MARLA
                         I don't know what you are
                         talking about, but I don't
                         like it Silk. Did you have a
                         weird experience last night?
                         Some kind of weird dream or
                         something? Everyone else
                         around here did.

                                   SILK
                         You were imagining things..
                         You didn't have any
                         experience at all. I have to
                         go.

                                   MARLA
                         Silk, you are being so weird.
                         I am gonna get Beefart &
                         Cheenkaw to check this
                         mysterious place out tonight
                         I think.. Do you even have
                         the address anywhere?

                                   SILK
                         That would be great! Please
                         get them.... No. You leave
                         Beefart & Cheenkaw out of
                         this.. It is just my job..
                         It is normal and there is
                         nothing weird going on at
                         all. Good day to you Marla.
                         Good day!

               Silk walks out of the room, and marla's Phone
               rings.

                                   MARLA
                         Hello? Oh hi Professor...
                         What do you mean? I will be
                         down there right away!



        27     THE MOSQUITO SAVES THE DAY                              27

               There is a thug with a knife harassing a woman and
               trying to take her purse near the old bingo hall.
               The Mosquito steps on to the scene.

                                   THE MOSQUITO
                         Hey! Turkey! Why don't you
                         leave that lady alone?

                                   TURKEY
                         Why don't you mind your own
                         business?

                                   THE MOSQUITO
                         This is my business.. And
                         I'll take care of it any way
                         I please.

               The Mosquito bolts in there at super speed, knocks
               the lady over, grabs her purse and throws it at
               her. The Mosquito then kicks the Turkey in the face
               and he falls over, the knife gets flung up in the
               air and The Mosquito catches it. She comes at the
               man with his own knife, and he backs away on the
               ground.

                                   THE MOSQUITO (cont'd)
                         I wonder if you would have
                         actually cut that woman if
                         she didn't give you her
                         purse?
                         I'm glad she resisted you for
                         so long. That woman is a
                         hero! And here you are trying
                         to scare the heck out of her.
                         I don't like you one bit.

               The Mosquito shoots a blast of electricity at the
               jerk, he convulses and passes out. The Mosquito
               looks back at the lady.

                                   THE MOSQUITO (cont'd)
                         Tell them you were rescued by
                         The Mosquito.

               She runs off, and as soon as she does, the chief of
               police arrives on the scene.

                                   THE CHIEF
                         What happened here?

                                   THE LADY
                         It was.. The Mosquito!



        28     SILK HAS VISIONS!                                       28

               Silk is walking down the street when all of a
               sudden his looks as though he is getting a
               headache.. He stops, holding his head and closing
               his eyes.. Suddenly he seems like he is in pain.
               Images flash in his mind.. Scenes that only Rolf
               Tompson could have ever seen. In his head he sees
               and hears Rolf Tompson.

                                   ROLF TOMPSON
                         You have brought my blood
                         line back to being and now he
                         will hunt you down until the
                         end of time! There is no
                         escape Silk!

               He quickly snaps out of it and continues on his
               way.



        29     PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH HAS URGENT NEWS                     29

               Marla is walking up to one of the buildings in the
               University campus and Professor Hamsworth runs up
               to her.

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH
                         Marla! Marla! I'm glad you
                         got here so quickly...

                                   MARLA
                         What is this big news you
                         have?

                                   PROFESSOR HAMSWORTH

                         Alright...

               They walk off towards a building.



        30     SILK ARRIVES FOR WORK                                   30

               Silk walks up to a door on the side of a building,
               there is a confusing looking machine there, he puts
               his face in front of it. 'Facial recognition pass -
               please enter'

               Silk goes through the door. Inside he is greeted by
               Nathaniel Weisburg. 

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         Silk! I will need you to help
                         me with the final
                         preparations for the machine
                         now.

               Silk looks confused, and seems to be coming out of
               his hypnotic state somewhat.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG (cont'd)
                         It would seem you need a
                         refresher of my hypnotic mind
                         control. Very well.

               Nathaniel Weisburg places his hand on Silk's face
               like a vulcan mind meld and looks deeply in to his
               eyes.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG (cont'd)
                         Your mind belongs to me Silk.
                         You will forget everything
                         that happens in this
                         building, and obey my every
                         command. You will obey me..
                         You will obey me!

               Silk looks like that did the trick.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG (cont'd)
                         Now. We need to prepare the
                         machine for the final stage
                         of my diabolical plan.
                         Sylvia!

               Nathaniel snaps his fingers and Sylvia comes
               running over.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG (cont'd)
                         Now. You will both go
                         retrieve for me the legendary
                         baseball diamond. It resides
                         in the museum on the
                         university campus. There must
                         be no mistakes. My broadcast
                         is in exactly 2 hours, you
                         must return before that. Is
                         everything understood?

                                   SILK

                                   SYLVIA
                         Yes Master.

               They both turn around and leave.

                                   NATHANIEL WEISBURG
                         Excellent.. My plan is almost
                         at a total fruition. Soon the
                         whole world will be trapped
                         in the house of the uncanny.
                         May god have mercy on their
                         souls.
