Loud's histerical wish

Part I

{Opens at night as we see a light snowfall in the clear blue sky. We hear on the soundtrack the very beginning of the theme to the movie Edward Scissorhands which will be used for the remainder of this sequence. We then pan downward as we hear Danny Elfman's haunting choir for the first time, and see a quaint, simple village with small buildings and homes. Centering it all is a large castle}

{As we hear the choir humming the first verse of the beautiful, but sad opening theme, we go inside a room in that castle full of pictures. They are all showing happy townpeople, many of them the adults of "Histeria!" and many historical characters with them looking happy too. The village is brighter and more pleasent in these pictures than our first look, and centering the last photo we see is George Washington and Abe Lincoln from a balcony on the castle with townsfolk and famous historic people below}

{But as the choir sings the next verse, the sight is far worse. We go outside the castle and see that it is dreary and almost damp, and townsfolk are unhappy. We see famous scientists and inventors like Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin and Alexander Graham Bell carrying ruined pieces of equipment and throwing them in the trash. People are also checking safes and wallets and finding them not very full. We then go to the balcony of the castle and see someone in shadows watching it all, and smiling as the choir ends their chanting}

{The man then goes back inside as the music continues and goes in front of a door. He opens it and we see the room is the same one we saw earlier with those happy pictures. We see a few more of them along with this still unseen man. He takes down the one with George and Abe and replaces it with one of an evil looking man whose skin color and dark eyebrows are similar to the evil scientist in "Water Water Every Hare" He also wears a white shirt and purple pants. The man posting this then takes down the rest of the photos in a hurry and puts them in a box}

{The man then runs down a stairway nearby and goes outside as the music begins its climactic verse. It's still snowing, and there is a fire burning in a fireplace. The man takes the box of photos, and then throws it into the fire, and they burn quickly. He is still holding one photo though, one of the evil man from earlier, but this one is of him smiling with many historical scientists. We then see the man holding it is the evil man himself, looking at this photo with a tiny bit of sadness, but he then throws the photo in the fire with the rest of them. He walks away as the "Edward" theme comes to an end, and we close up on the fire....}

{....then we fade into another fire, this time in a house. We now see none other than Father Time sitting peacefully in a chair. He then turns towards us}

Father Time:{Gesturing towards the camera}Oh hi, glad you could make it, for a minute I thought you wouldn't show. Anyway, now that you're here I am pleased to present this very special presentation of Histeria. Now, although we specialize in presenting historical satire, sometimes the idea comes up to combine our historical characters with our own and use that to tell a story very unlike any we've ever told before. Unfortunately that idea often gets turned down, but I've convinced our bosses to let this one not be. So now let me tell you a very unusual but gripping story.

{He grabs a book entitled "Loud's Histerical Wish"}

Father Time: Now most of you are probably wondering what that strange opening sequence was all about. That took place in a time of distress in a small village not very long ago. Today I shall tell the tale of that town's fall from grace to distress, and then back to grace. A town called, Histeria Village.

{We pan away from Father Time and fade back to the village, which is looking more like the happy one from the pictures}

Father Time:{V.O}The town of Histeria Village is fairly like any other small, quaint little town. However, there is one big difference seperating it from any other. Not only are normal people in here, also taking up residence is almost every historical figure there is!
