Monsters Return Synopsis by Rodney Copenhaver Rcopenhaversr@gmail.com (717)512-8426 A handsome, but nerdy teenager must lead a group of unlikely heroes against monsters of old when their small town is attacked. Derek Miles, a nerdy, African American teenager, lacks the confidence to tell the girl of his dreams, Alyssa Brandon, how he feels. He constantly draws the attention of the school bully, Greg Butler, a defensive lineman on the varsity team that comes from a very wealthy family. Derek has an unusual, but great group of friends that he grew up with. John Stevenson, starting varsity quarterback. John is very humble, despite being super-popular. Jax Hennon is the rebel of the group. He gets in a lot of trouble in, and out of school. Cooper Dixon is a heavyset, redneck, lovable guy. He has a big heart and a big mouth. These four are the best of friends. Jax witnesses a murder after fleeing from the police. He escapes to Cooper’s house to tell his friends. Not truly believing his story, they head to the field to check the scene out. They soon discover the story is true and come face-to-face with Dracula. Barely escaping with their lives, they flee and devise a plan to attack. That same night, Greg and his friends are bitten by Dracula and become his pawns. Derek and his friends go to a cavern the next day, hoping to end the vampire threat. They are overrun by skeletons and other undead. Knowing Dracula and his minions will attack their town, the friends equip themselves and head in to the annual Halloween parade. An all-out battle ensues with a slew of monsters, skeletons, and zombies, and with their nemesis, Greg. Their chances look bleak, as they have thousands of undead attacking the town. Their courage and Derek’s quick thinking win out in the end as Derek injects infected blood in to Dracula, causing the vampire a great deal of pain, and giving them a moment of opportunity to defeat him. This story is filled with scary moments and laughs throughout.
