; Pitch
: ''Having just seen Grindhouse this weekend, I got to thinking - what if Roanoke was done as a B-grade slasher flick? The result -''

: FADE IN: Medium boom shot of Roanoke colony on the shores of Roanoke island

: VOICEOVER: "They were stranded on hostile shores, a thousand miles from home. Everyone expected them to die.

: CUT TO: Rev. Ezekiel leading prayers in church.

: REV. EZEKIEL (solemnly) : "And they shall know that I am the Lord, and I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them."

: VOICEOVER: "But what they DIDN'T KNOW was that THESE Puritans... were PURE SAVAGE FURY!"

: (As Rev. Ezekiel speaks a zombie rises up behind him).

: REV. EZEKIEL: "And thus sayeth the Lord - SMITE WITH THINE HAND..."

: (Ezekiel spins and delivers a punch to the zombie's face, knocking out most of its teeth)

: REV. EZEKIEL: "... and STOMP WITH THY FOOT!"

: (Ezekiel delivers a spinning back kick to the zombie, knocking its head flying. The zombie collapses and Rev. Exekiel straightens his vestments)

: REV EZEKIEL: "And say - 'alas for evil abominations!'".

: (Cue Grindhouse music)

: VOICEOVER: "Deadly blades!"

: CUT TO LADY CHARITY, dressed in slinky faux pirate bustier, holding a cutlass in either hand and killing Spanish pirates by the score

: VOICEOVER: "Fast boats!"

: CUT TO: BRAITH and PAIYN frantically poling their raft while behind them a giant fin gets closer and closer

: VOICEOVER: "Powers from a realm beyond knowledge!"

: CUT TO: SIMON BLACK working on a blade at his forge. He places the red hot metal on his anvil, then pours a strange liquid over the blade, which begins to glow with blue light.

: VOICEOVER: "Non-stop action!"

: CUT TO: THOMAS VESSEL, soaked in blood, pouncing on a CROATOAN indian and slitting his throat, laughing maniacally the whole time.

: VOICEOVER: "And SEXY hoes!"

: CUT TO: EMME MERRIMOTH and ALICE LANGSTON, in full Puritan garb, each hoeing a row in a field. Several CHILDREN OF JUMLIN burst out of the brush and charge towards them and they use their hoes as quarterstaves, doing acrobatic flips a la Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to fight them off.

: VOICEOVER: "It's a black powder EXPLOSION of terror!"

: CUT TO: HAUNCE WALTERS firing his harqubus, filling the screen with powder smoke.

: CUT TO: BRAITH AND PAIYN running towards the camera with hundreds of SECOTAN indians behind them

: CUT TO: REV. EZEKIEL leading prayers in the main square. Everyone is ragged and covered in dirt, and several bodies can be seen scattered around. The group is lit by flames from the burning stockade.

: CUT TO: LADY CHARITY, dagger between her teeth, swinging from the rigging of a ship to land on the quarterdeck and engage CAPTAIN DIEGO in a sword fight.

: CUT TO: EMME MERRIMOTH in the forest at night. She is backed up against a tree, while from the darkness hundreds of yellow eyes stare at her.

: CUT TO: SIMON BLACK, standing on Braith's raft,. with a blacksmith's hammer in each hand, swinging at hundreds of tentacles that are emerging from the water.

: CUT TO: ALICE LANGSTON opening an old chest found buried in the forest. A golden glow emanates from inside. Behind her a shadowy figure rises, holding a sword.

: CUT TO: HAUNCE WALTERS. One arm has been severed above the elbow, and SIMON BLACK has just finished mounting Haunce's harqubus in its place.

: HAUNCE: "Groovy"

: VOICEOVER: "ROANOKE! ISLAND OF BLOOD! Coming soon to a theater near you! This film is not yet rated."
