EXT. DRUG STORE - DAY

RHONDA, age 9, gets out of a car and walks inside the local
drugstore in search of a halloween costume for tonight. She
has no idea of what she wants to be, she thought the
costumes would do all the talking.

INT. DRUG STORE - DAY

RHONDA goes up to the cashier.
                    
                RHONDA
        Where are your costumes?
                
                CASHIER
        Aisles 3, 4, and 5.

                RHONDA
        Thanks!

RHONDA starts on Aisle 3. She walks up and down the aisle,
looking at all of the costumes. She picks up a generic
slasher costume and debates about getting it. RHONDA puts
the costume back and keeps on searching.

She goes to the next aisle down and begins looking at the
interesting costumes. Ultimately, there was a clown costume
that caught her attention. She studies the costume. The
clown costume started to move it’s eyes.

This creeps RHONDA out and she backs up. The clown costume
came alive and it’s face was full of expression. RHONDA
screams and run out of the aisle.

The CLOWN chases RHONDA through the store. She hides out in
a rack of costumes and peeks her head out to see where the
CLOWN is. The CLOWN comes up right behind her. She screams
as the CLOWN picks her up. She kicks the CLOWN and the CLOWN
drops her. She begins to run out of the store.

CUT TO:

EXT. DRUG STORE - DAY

RHONDA comes out screaming and the mom sees her. She gets
out of the car and goes to RHONDA.

                    MOM
          What’s wrong, honey?

                    RHONDA
          I don’t want a costume anymore!

RHONDA runs inside of the car. The MOM looks up at the drug
store. The CLOWN is waving at her in a joyful manner.

Just a great set-up here my friend. I love to read Screenplay's! I think you captivated it all very well here, short and powerful. The ending had a twist in it, which I like. :) (nothing seems how it is)... but makes it more a fantasy of a little girl... (unknown fears) for clowns. Greatly done!
