Synopsis/Details
“Beneath the Earth” is a gripping horror script that combines the thrill of exploration with the terror of supernatural creatures. Set in the desolate landscape of Russia, a group of American scientists find themselves plunged into a nightmarish battle for survival when they venture into the depths of the abandoned Kola Superdeep Borehole. When seismic activity causes the long-forgotten borehole to erupt, it releases a malevolent force into the world – gigantic acid-spewing spiders that have lurked beneath the Earth’s surface for centuries. As the creatures emerge from the depths, the Russian government urgently request the expertise of American scientists to assess the situation and contain the growing threat. Driven by a mix of scientific curiosity and a desire to prevent a potential global catastrophe, the team descends into the uncharted darkness. Battling their way through hordes of terrifying spiders, the scientists enter the lair of these nightmarish creatures, only to stumble upon a shocking discovery. Deep within the abandoned borehole lies a former Soviet Union top-secret laboratory where scientists were experimenting with the spiders to create a super weapon. Unleashing unintended consequences, their experiments resulted in the creation of an even larger and more terrifying creature – the queen of the spiders. As the team unravels the dark secrets of the laboratory, tensions rise, and trust begins to waver. Each member must confront their deepest fears while fending off relentless attacks from the monstrous spiders and the colossal queen. With their lives hanging in the balance, they must find a way to escape the labyrinthine depths before they become victims of both the spiders and the deadly secrets hidden within the laboratory. In this heart-pounding horror script, “Beneath the Earth” explores themes of isolation, the fragility of the human psyche, and the destructive consequences of tampering with nature. The relentless pursuit of knowledge clashes with the chilling reality of facing supernatural horrors, pushing the characters to their limits. Prepare to be captivated, horrified and left on the edge of your seat as “Beneath the Earth” invites you to witness the dark secrets that lie beneath our very feet, where battles with monstrous spiders and a showdown with a monstrous queen await.

The Writer: Gary Rose

I’m an optioned screenwriter who, in a previous life, served as a police detective, mastering the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations. Retirement led me down a different path—teaching and writing—a journey that began with my first non-fiction book, which became an Amazon best-seller. That success ignited my passion for storytelling and introduced the world to my indomitable protagonist, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis. Believing that the ends justify the means, Jeannie has become the heart of a gripping 16-novel thriller series. My historical fiction script The Beautiful Beast was selected as a quarter-finalist in the 2025 PAGE competition. The Phantom Train script was selected in 2024… Go to bio
