Idea 1:

It starts with a glimpse of the end, shows title, then starts from the start of the day.

Matthew wakes up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep so he goes on his phone. He starts to message his best friend Ricardo asking him if he is awake, however there is no reply so he goes onto Facebook and sees an article about a killer clown who’s been killing teenagers around the area, late at night. Matthew does not believe what is said in the article because it’s an unusual story. After reading the article, Ricardo finally messages him back saying that he is awake and if Matthew has seen the article about the murderous clown, which he has.

They continuing talking for nearly an hour. wanting some tea, after about unfortunately there is no milk or tea bags and theses are the crucial ingredient when making tea. So he has to go out and buy some, he messages Ricardo saying that he is going to the shop to buy some things, in case he wants to come.

Matthew is on his way to buy the tea bag and milk. The roads are fully deserted and weird things start to happen to him, making him feel paranoid. The lights start to flicker, leaves start to move but there is no wind. Matthew is paranoid so he tells himself that there is telling to be worried, no one is there and he needs to just relax. All of a sudden, Ricardo (his best friend) jumps out in front of Matthew and scares him.

Matthew pushes Ricardo and says ‘What the hell is wrong with you’ and then Matthew continues his journey to the shop along with Ricardo. They finally get to the shop and go inside to buy the milk and tea bags, then come out and head home. On my way home, they get to a point where they have to go their separate ways. Ricardo is walking home until he hears a rustle and then sprints to get home faster, whilst Matthew continues to walk home.

Matthew hears a scream (Ricardo’s scream) and starts walking at a faster pace. Then he starts hearing footsteps behind him, looks back but no one is there. He hears the footsteps again and still does not see anyone there, then he says ‘Hey Ric, Stop playing around I’ve had enough for one night’.

He turns round for the last time and see a clown with a red balloon behind him, he pushes the clown to the side and says ‘How did you change so fast?’, thinking it is his best friend Ricardo. But then he looks at the other side of the road and sees another clown which starts walking towards him, that is when he realises he article was telling the truth.

He looks back at the clown with the red balloon and it is still following him. Matthew is now petrified and is looking for an exit when a tricycle rolls up in front of him, looks down at it then back up and see a clown running towards him with a bloody knife. There’s no escape for Matthew the clowns have him surrounded, he drops his shopping on the floor which causes the milk to burst open and leak on the floor. Then you hear screaming and then the blood mix with the milk.

The End.
