Chief of police Taylor announces that three people have been murdered in Stanley, with rumors of a killer clown wielding the murder weapon. Steph watches the announcement with her boyfriend Andrew, worried that she could be next. They install CCTV cameras for safety. While filming each other laughing, the power goes out. Steph finds blood in the kitchen and calls for Andrew with no response. She comes face to face with the clown and escapes after a struggle, running through the woods but falls as the clown closes in.

EX. MAJOR CRIMES UNIT, STANLEY CENTRAL - DAY
Chief of police Taylor STANDS before the public with a swarm of reporters surrounding the podium. TAYLOR (braces hands on podium) Citizens of Stanley, at 11:32 PM yesterday evening officers received a number of distressing calls about screaming in Mowlam Drive, Stanley. Upon arrival we discovered the bodies of Audrey Simpson and Lucy Iley. This is a repeat occurrence of the murder that happened the previous week to Pamela Richards. We suspect that all three murders are in fact connected. Rumours of sightings of a supposed clown wielding what could possibly be the murder weapon have circulated throughout out our community. Citizens we advise you to set up precautions such as CCTV and come forward if you have any further information. Thank you. (Taylor gives a slight NOD and steps away from the podium) INT.
