Helluva Hunt

Title: Helluva Hunt

**Act I: Unearthly Invitations**

The camera slowly drifts through a dimly lit suburban neighborhood. The air carries a sense of dread as shadows stretch across quiet streets. A small group of friends—Mark, Amy, Jack, and Lisa—are gathering in a cozy yet eerie living room, sharing ghost stories and enjoying a few drinks. The screen occasionally flashes to unsettling images of old legend books scattered around the room.

Mark, the group's skeptic, decides to explore the dark web to find real horror. His casual curiosity leads him to a disturbing website offering "services" to enact revenge or fulfill dark desires. Drunkenly, he jokes about hiring demonic hitmen to get back at their irritating boss. Lisa nervously giggles but pleads with him to stop. He hesitates but clicks "Order" anyway, believing it’s just an elaborate prank.

Out of the shadows, the floor beneath them begins to tremble ever so slightly, a subtle premonition. Their laughs quickly fade as an eerie silence envelopes the room. Without warning, a portal opens, casting a blood-red glow. Emerging from it are Blitzo, Millie, Moxxie, and Loona – the I.M.P. team from Hell.

**Act II: Unrelenting Pursuers**

Once the demon assassins reveal themselves, the house descends into chaos. Blitzo, their leader, with his unhinged charisma, makes it clear that none of them will leave unscathed. Millie and Moxxie, the deadly couple, wield weapons with violent glee, while Loona, the intimidating hellhound, stands back, biding her time before unleashing her fury.

The friends are filled with a chilling fear, realizing that what was meant as a joke has summoned real terror. They attempt to reason with the demons but are met with maniacal laughter and derogatory taunts. Moxxie’s nuanced insults cut deep, while Millie’s bloodthirsty enthusiasm turns the chase into a macabre game.

The group splits up, hoping to escape into the night. Mark and Amy dash upstairs, frantically trying to barricade themselves. Jack and Lisa make a beeline for the garage, seeking weapons. Blitzo leads a playful yet sadistic hunt, mocking his prey through chilling whispers and dark humor.

The night unfolds into a relentless bloodbath. Jack, trembling with fear, barely dodges an assault from Millie. He’s not fast enough the second time, as her blade finds purchase, slicing flesh and producing a crimson torrent. Lisa, cornered by Moxxie, pleads for her life; yet, he responds with a cruel nod to Hell's laws and delivers a fatal blow, her scream abruptly silenced.

**Act III: Desperate Beneath the Moon**

By midnight, only Mark and Amy remain. Bruised and bloodied, they huddle together in a decrepit tool shed across their vast backyard. Their bonds forged deeper through the trauma they’ve endured. Mark finds an old shotgun, his hands shaking violently as he tries to load it.

Overhead, the sky darkens even more, a portent of final doom. The shed door explodes inward as Blitzo gleefully enters, his face twisted into a grotesque smile. Amy and Mark are ready—they fight back with savage desperation, managing to wound Blitzo. His blood oozes demonic fire, scorching the ground.

In a raw, gut-wrenching melee, they kill Blitzo, a temporary, hollow victory. They stumble out, believing it’s finally over, only for Loona to emerge from the shadows. Her wrath unleashed with devastating ferocity, claws rend flesh from bone. Amy falls, her body mutilated beyond recognition.

Mark, filled with a fear-fuelled adrenaline, makes one final stand. He wounds Loona but can’t finish her. As she looms above him, her monstrous form silhouetted by the moon, he closes his eyes, accepting his fate. Her teeth sink into his neck, the screen fades as his screams merge with the night.

**Epilogue: Infernal Echoes**

Slow pan over the now silent and blood-stained neighborhood. The once tranquil house stands as a hallowed ruin. The portal reopens and Blitzo, Millie, Moxxie, and Loona return to Hell, bodies reconstituted and spirits fed by the chaos they wrought on Earth.

Back in their bleak office, sated and reminiscing about their night’s work, Loona lights up a smoke while Blitzo pours himself a drink. The camera lingers on their nonchalant demeanor, underscoring the chilling reality: they are always watching, always waiting for the next unwitting summoner.

The scene cuts abruptly to black. The credits roll, underscored by the unsettling echo of Mark's last, terrified scream.

**Fade to Black.**
