## Script

The movie starts with Ryan and Jonah crawling out of the window. They wander into Toon World’s graveyard and sees a broken mirror.

**Ryan**: Cool! Me wanna jump! *[Ryan holds Jonah’s hand and jumps through. When they jump through, all they can do is show horrified expressions and scream. Cut to Julie, who hears the scream from her house]*

**Julie**: Ryan! Jonah! *[Runs outside and bumps into Arion]*

**Arion**: Ow! My nose! Julie? Whats wrong?

**Julie**: The Boys! Ryan and Jonah! I lost them! Have you seen them?!

**Arion**: Of course not! Maybe they went around town somewhere. Speaking of which, have you seen Rodrick? I haven’t seen him all day. *[Julie runs past Arion]* Julie? Wait! I can- help you look. *[Sighs and sees Stevie walk outside. Stevie watches as Julie runs away]*

**Stevie**: Julie? Wait! *[Chases her]* Julie wait! Where are you going?

**Julie**: *[Stops]* Stevie! Have you seen Ryan and Jonah?!

**Stevie**: No, but I can- *[Sees their footprints]* I think I know where to go. *[Holds Julie’s hand and follows it to the broken mirror in Toon Graveyard. Stevie touches the mirror and they instantly get pulled in. They scream as they get sucked in. Stevie falls out in a deserted forest area. Eaten dears and horses are noticeable in the background. Stevie hits the ground in pain.]* Ow! *[He rolls down a hill and slides into a town]*

Stevie wakes up in the middle of a deserted street, looks around, and realizes he's in a zombie world. Panic washes over him as he remembers that he lost his girlfriend and their two babies, Ryan and Jonah.

**Stevie**: (yelling) Julie! Ryan! Jonah! Where are you guys?

No one answers, and Stevie continues walking down the street searching for his loved ones.

EXT. ABANDONED BUILDING – DAY

Stevie reaches an abandoned building and sees his best friend, **Rodrick**, riding a horse outside.

**Stevie**: Rodrick! What the hell is happening here?

**Rodrick**: (sober) It's the apocalypse, Stevie. We gotta get back to Toon World! I came here looking for Penny

**Stevie**: Have you seen Julie and our kids?

**Rodrick**: No, man. But I'm looking for my girlfriend, Penny. Hop on, and let's find them together.

Stevie jumps on the horse, and they ride towards the city while avoiding the hordes of zombies they encounter.

EXT. CITY STREETS – DAY

Stevie and Rodrick search for hours and eventually come across an abandoned restaurant.

**Rodrick**: (pointing) That's where the zombies are coming from.

**Stevie**: Wait, I found something. It might be Julie and the boys.

Stevie rushes into the restaurant, finds Julie, his girlfriend, hiding in a corner, and asks if she knows where the boys are. Penny is sitting by her.

**Julie**: I don't know, Stevie. We were separated when the zombies attacked. I'm sorry.

Just then, Rodrick enters the restaurant.

**Rodrick**: Hey, guys. We need to find a way out of this deathtrap.

Suddenly, zombies start banging on the door, trying to get in.

**Stevie**: (looking at Julie) We have to get out of here, now!

**Julie**: Wait, I hear something.

Penny holds her ear close to the door and zombie cry.

**Penny**: We have to get out of here!

Stevie, Rodrick, Julie, and Penny work together to move a fridge blocking the back door. They escape, just in time as zombies storm the restaurant. They wander the town for a little while until Rodrick and Penny leave for some food.

**Rodrick**: Okay, hold still! *[Puts a watch on their arms]* Me and Penny are leaving for supplies. Use this watch to call and track each other.

**Stevie**: You sure we should split up?

**Rodrick**: Yeah, it’s okay! Just find a base we can stay in! *[Hugs Stevie and walks off with Penny]*

**Stevie**: Okay, Julie! Let’s find our babies and then we find a base

EXT. ABANDONED STREET - DAY

Stevie and Julie are frantically searching for their babies, Ryan and Jonah. They walk down the deserted street, weapons at the ready, looking for any signs of their children.

**Julie**: (whispering) Stevie, do you see anything?

**Stevie**: (whispering) No, not yet. Keep your eyes peeled.

Suddenly, a group of zombies appears in their path.

**Stevie:** (grabbing his weapon, a stick with a sharp spike tied to the end) Be ready.

They fight off the zombies, but it's a tough battle. They manage to kill them all without getting bitten, but they're both shaken.

**Julie**: (panicking) Where could they be?

**Stevie:** We need to find a safe spot to set up base.

They walk a little further and come across an old shed.

**Julie:** (pointing) There! We could make that work.

**Stevie**: (nodding) Right. Let's set up here for now. *[Watch beeps]* It’s Rodrick. He says that he needs to stay in the forest for a while. I hope he’s okay…

Later that night, after failing to find their children, they sit quietly among their makeshift base. Suddenly, they hear a noise.

**Julie**: (hushed voice) Do you hear that? It sounds like crying.

Stevie stands up and pulls out his gun, ready to fight.

**Stevie**: Follow me.

They sneak through the abandoned town, killing zombies along the way. Eventually, they come across an army of them.

**Julie**: (whispering) What are we going to do?

**Stevie**: (firing off a few shots) We're going to take them down.

They fight their way through the group of zombies, but Stevie soon runs out of ammo.

**Stevie**: (to Julie)We have to make a run for it!

They sprint towards the nearest building, a mall, and hide inside. After wandering for hours, they finally find a place that looks familiar. There they spot their babies, huddled together in a little hall.

**Julie**: (crying) Oh my god, there they are.

**Ryan**: (crying)

**Jonah**: (crying)

Suddenly, they see a zombie baby, crawling towards them.

**Julie:** (horrified) Oh my god, what is that?

**Stevie:** (pulling out his weapon) Stay back.

He fights off the zombie baby with all his might, finally stopping on its head.

**Julie:** (falling to her knees)

Thank god.

**Stevie**: (turning to the kids) Let's get out of here. *[Cut to them at the old shed. Julie tugs Ryan and Jonah in as they sleep. Julie sits by the,. Her stomach growls]*

**Julie**: Stevie, did we bring any food with us?

**Stevie**: No, and Rodrick isn’t back yet. I think I should go look for them.

**Julie**: You can’t go! You might die! *[Stevie kisses her cheek, calming her down]*

**Stevie**: Don’t worry! I’m not going to die! I have a watch! So just call me and I can call Rodrick so I can find him. *[He walks out of the shed and locks it tight. He then purs a bunch of bushes on it and lays a red flag near it. He leaves into the town to find supplies.]* I wish Arion and Kameron were here. I can sure use their speed right now. Thankfully, there are no zombies! *[A horde of zombies emerge from the streets and allies]* Oh, come on!

EXT. FIELD - DAY

Stevie is running for his life in a field as he is being chased by zombies. He looks back and sees that the zombies are closing in on him.

**Stevie**: Get back! Get back! *[Shoots some of them with a gun]* Why are there so many?!

Suddenly, he hears the sound of meowing and turns his head. He sees a group of cats coming towards him. He sighs in relief, thinking that the cats will save him. But, to his surprise, the cats start attacking him.

**Stevie**: Agh! Bad kitties! Bad! Stop it! This isn’t a good time!

He tries to run away from them, but they keep coming. Finally, he grabs a rock and hits one of the cats. The other cats back off as they see their fellow cat injured.

**Stevie**: Stupid…cat…

Stevie limps on his injured leg towards an old broken down bus. He is able to climb on top of it and looks around. That's when he sees the horde of zombies in the distance. The cats try to jump on the bus to eat Stevie.

**Stevie**: No! No! Get away!

The cats notice the zombies too and start jumping off the bus. They need to get one down to eat, but all the other zombies surround them. The cats scratch and bite the zombies, but it's no use.

The zombies hold down the cats and start to eat them alive. Stevie watches in horror as the cats whimper, yelp, and cry. He can't do anything to help them because of his injured leg.

He sits there, feeling guilty that he brought the cats into this mess. He can only watch as the zombies finish their meal.

**Stevie**: *[Covers his mouth]* Those…cats…*[Rips off his scarf and puts it around his leg]* Ugh…I hate this day…I hope Julie and Rodrick are safe…speaking of which, where are they? *[Cut to Rodrick and Penny in a different part of the town]*

EXT. ABANDONED CITY - DAY

Rodrick and Penny stands amidst a horde of zombies, brandishing his weapon. The zombies circle him, their groans echoing through the empty streets.

**Rodrick**: (calmly) Come on then, you rotting bastards.

Rodrick and Penny moves swiftly, slicing through the zombies with ease. In no time, they are all lying dismembered on the ground. Rodrick sighs with relief, but his victory is short-lived. The sound of a wild cat catches his attention. He turns to see a vicious-looking creature, its claws bared and ready to pounce. Rodrick instinctively holds up his weapon, ready to defend himself.

**Rodrick**: (to himself) This is going to be a little tougher.

The cat seems to sense that Rodrick and Penny are a threat, and it starts to circle him, ready to attack. Rodrick makes a quick decision. He and Penny runs to the nearby farm, luring the cat inside. He quickly shuts the door and traps the cat inside. Rodrick breathes a sigh of relief, but his victory is short-lived. The cat claws at the door, trying to force its way out.

**Rodrick**: (grimly) I have to do something about this.

Rodrick looks around for a solution. He spots a zombie, wandering aimlessly around the farm.

**Rodrick**: (to himself) There's only one way to do this.

**Penny**: Rodrick! No! We can make a run for it!

**Rodrick**: It can break out and actually kill us!

Rodrick grabs the zombie and shoves it into the farm, just as the cat is about to break down the door. The zombie tries to bite Rodrick, but he holds the door shut with all his strength. Rodrick hears the sound of the cat being ripped apart and eaten alive by the zombie. The cat cries and whimpers in pain, but its fate is sealed. Rodrick waits until the sound stops before he slowly unlocks the door. He sneaks away, relieved that he doesn't have to risk his life fighting off the cat again.

EXT. ABANDONED CITY - DAY

Rodrick and Penny sneaks along the deserted streets, scanning his surroundings for any signs of danger. Rodrick nods, a sense of pride swelling in his chest. He knows that he will do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about in this new, dangerous world. Roderick and Penny are walking down the deserted street, looking for a safe place to stay. Suddenly, they hear a faint scream coming from the distance.

**Penny**: Did you hear that?

**Rodrick**: Yeah, let's go check it out.

They run towards the sound and reach an old bus. Stevie, their friend, is on top of it, being swarmed by zombies.

**Rodrick**: Shit! How did you end up here?

**Stevie**: I was being chased by wild cats. My leg got injured and I couldn't run anymore.

**Penny:** We have to get him out of here, but how do we kill all those zombies?

**Rodrick:** I have an idea. Penny, grab that can of gasoline over there. Stevie, stay put.

Penny runs towards the gas station and comes back with the can of gasoline. Rodrick pours it all over the zombies, then picks up a lighter.

**Rodrick:** This is going to get messy. (He sets the zombies on fire, and they start burning and screaming.)

**Penny:** Let's get Stevie down. (She climbs up the bus while Rodrick stays on the ground, killing the zombies that are still climbing up.)

**Penny:** Stevie, we're getting you out of here.

**Stevie:** Thank you. I thought I was done for.

**Penny:** Rodrick, can you help me carry him down?

**Rodrick:** Of course. (They help Stevie down, but his leg is too injured to walk. Rodrick has to carry him.)

**Rodrick**:We have to get him to safety. Where’s Julie?

**Stevie**: There in a shed! I locked it away from zombies! There should be supplies in there. Wait, can you guys Hotwire a bus?! *[Cut into the bus. Rodrick hot wires the bus and Penny helps with the engine]*

**Penny**: Try now! *[Rodrick powers up and bus and Penny goes inside.]* It works! *[Rodrick starts driving]*

**Rodrick**: Alright! Stevie! Hold tight, once we get Julie, Ryan, and Jonah, I have a plan. I saw a factory that I think caused this mess in the first place. *[Rodrick calls Julie on his watch]*

**Julie**: *[Answers]* Hello? Rodrick? Oh, thank goodness! Is everything okay? Stevie’s hurt…? Okay…I’m in a shed with a red flag sticking out of it. I have the little ones with me. Just please get here. *[Cut to the shed and Rodrick bringing Julie out with the two babies. Julie gets on the bus and she sits down by Stevie.]*

EXT. ABANDONED FACTORY - NIGHT

A group of five people and two babies approach the factory. Julie looks around, uneasy.

**Julie**: We really shouldn't be here. This looks abandoned for a reason.

**Stevie:** Relax, Jules. Nothing could happen in broad daylight.

Suddenly a loud screeching noise comes from inside the factory. They all jump.

**Rodrick**: What the hell was that?

**Julie;** I think we should run.

They all start to leave, but the sound picks up again, this time louder. They all look at each other in fear.

**Julie:** Okay, maybe we should go inside and see if there's something we can do to make it stop.

As they enter, they see a laboratory with different chemicals and equipment. The group walks around cautiously until they find a note on a desk.

**Julie:** Hey, listen to this. "To the unsuspecting victims of my experiment. You have been witness to the effects of a virus I created. If you look around you, you will see humanity in its natural state - survival of the fittest. I am the cause of this evolution, and those turned have become my minions. They will serve me until the end."

**Stevie:** Shit. We better get out of here. He could strike at any moment for us!

Suddenly, they hear a noise behind them. They turn to see a horde of zombies rushing towards them.

**Julie**: Oh my god. We have to get out of here now.

As they run, they come across an evil looking scientist in front of a door. He smirks at them.

**Dr. Zander:** Welcome to hell! Name is Dr. Zander. You have caused quite the commotion. My virus has worked beyond my expectations.

**Julie:** What are you talking about? Why did you do this?

**Dr. Zander:** I did it because humanity deserves a taste of their own medicine. And my test subjects failed, so I turned them into my army instead. Now- *[Grabs them with a giant claw]* You’re coming to the meat grinder!

**Stevie**: The what?! Let us go!

INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT

Julie, Rodrick, Stevie, and Penny are all tied up and struggling to break free. The evil scientist, Dr. Zander, walks in, grinning wickedly.

**Dr. Zander**: Ah, my little guinea pigs. You'll be pleased to know that my horde of zombies is almost ready to be fed.

**Penny**: You're sick, Zander. Let us go!

**Dr. Zander**: Oh, I don't think so. You see, I need to grind you all up first, so the zombies have something to feast on.

Julie, Rodrick, Stevie, and Penny all start struggling even more, but it's no use.

**Dr. Zander**: But before that, I have some new test subjects to experiment on. Ryan and Jonah over there.

Dr. Zander points to two baby cages on the other side of the room.

**Ryan**: (crying) No, please!

**Jonah**: (screaming) Let us go!

**Dr. Zander**: (laughs) Too late, boys. You'll make excellent little zombies.

Julie, Rodrick, Stevie, and Penny look horrified.

**Julie**: We have to do something!

**Rodrick**: Yeah, before it's too late.

**Stevie**: I have an idea.

**Penny**: What is it?

**Stevie**: We fight off the zombies, free Ryan and Jonah, and blow up the factory.

**Julie**: That's crazy.

**Rodrick**: But it might just work.

The group starts struggling even harder, trying to free themselves.

**Dr. Zander**: What's going on here?

**Penny**: Nothing. We're just stretching.

**Dr. Zander**: (suspicious) Well, don't stretch too hard. I don't want any accidents before I can feed you to my zombies.

Julie, Rodrick, Stevie, and Penny keep struggling, trying to break free of their ropes. Meanwhile, Dr. Zander starts turning Ryan and Jonah into zombies.

**Ryan**: (whimpering) What's happening to us?

**Jonah**: (screaming) Help us!

The group finally manages to free themselves and starts fighting off the zombies. Dr. Zander tries to stop them, but they outsmart him.

**Julie**: We have to explode the factory!

**Rodrick**: But how?

**Stevie**: I think I know the way.

Stevie presses a button on a nearby computer, causing the factory to start overheating. The group quickly makes their escape, just as the factory explodes in a huge fireball.

They all stand outside, catching their breath and watching the destruction.

**Julie**: We did it.

**Rodrick**: Yeah, but at what cost?

**Stevie**: At least we're all still alive.

**Penny**: Yeah, but what about Ryan and Jonah?

Julie holds the two babies. They aren’t zombies, but they are starting to turn a little green.

**Julie**: I don't know. But they are turning green a little! We gotta find an antidote and fast! *[Cries]* I can’t lose them! *[Dr. Zander walks out from the fire, his skeleton arms with massive claws showing]*

**Dr. Zander**: You shouldn’t have done that…I worked hard on this factory. Now, I think it’s time to die! *[Rodrick and Penny tackles him down]*

**Rodrick**: This finishes now! Give me the antidote!

**Dr. Zander**: What? *[Opens his mouth to show the antidote inside his mouth]* this antidote? *[Swallows it]*

**Rodrick**: Wha?! No!! You son of a- *[Punches his face endless amounts of times]*

**Stevie**: RODRICK!!! THE ZOMBIES!!! *[Rodrick looks up and sees a horde of zombies emerging from the fire they stand by Dr. Zander]*

**Dr. Zander**: ATTACK!!! *[The Zombies charges past Dr. Zander. Stevie and Rodrick fight off the zombies with guns and spears]*
