Synopsis/Details
This script needs only two actors and two locations to film. Natalie's serious accounting is interrupted by a maintenance worker who installs a six-foot talking ghoul as an office Halloween decoration. The stock phrases uttered by the ghoul become a major distraction for Natale, who discovers there's no off switch, mute button, or way to unplug the ghoul. After hearing "I'll eat your guts" and "You cannot escape" all day, Natalie starts to lose her grip on reality, paving the way for true evil to set in. The script is available here for reading.
