Description: Murder. Vengeance... True Love
The_Crow - October 14, 2005 01:41 PM (GMT)
Cast:
Michel Peter Dijkhuizen - Age 20/21: Michel is the main character who returns from the afterlife (or in this case from the hell) with the aid of a black-and-white crow called a Hooded Crow. Having Stigmata styled wounds, his wounds bleed on some times (this happens when he gets a flashback) which quickly heals. His memory as well as his brains are completely dead as he has to find out who the killers are and why he and his family are murdered in the first place, the result being that he has a desire to see blood and the taste and hunger to kill everybody who dares to cross HIS path of vengeance.
Strangely he is slowly starting to having doubts about his mission of revenge as he doesn't want to return to his loved ones, but wants to stay on Earth...
His agility is enhanced as he posseses superhuman strength.
Hooded Crow aka Corvus Cornix: Instead of a normal black crow, it is a black-and-white colored crow that brings back a soul for revenge. Just like the other crows, the Hooded Crow serves as a link to the soul which also acts as a reminder that he must not fall off of his revenge route. Strangely this crow can decide that IF the soul gets wounded, the wounds will heal or not.
Aranka Janina Dijkhuizen - Age 15/16: Aranka is Michel's younger sister who's murdered AND having her liver removed after their car exploded. Her soul is currently trapped in hell with a demon eating her missing liver out over and over again. She somehow triggers painful memories towards her The Crow brother which might be the reason why he doesn't want to return.
Willem 'Wim' Dijkhuizen - Age 48/49: Father of both Michel and Aranka who as well is murdered AND having his lungs removed after the car explosion, like Aranka, his soul is also trapped in Hell. His memories somehow are being transmitted towards his death son which might be a reason why his son wishes to stay on Earth.
Hendrika 'Ria' Dijkhuizen Nagy - Age 45/46: Mother of both Michel and Aranka who is also trapped in Hell after the murder, which left her dead without her heart. She somehow is granted passage to go to Heaven where she awaits her son's Hell scarred soul. She as well triggers long forgotten memories towards her avenging son who might be having some doubts about going back to the afterlife or remaining on Earth.
Nicole 'Rua' W - Age 25/26: A good friend from Michel who comes from the USA after hearing that Michel has died. Not believing his dead, she goes to the Netherlands to hunt Michel down, only to learn something strange...
He is already death, but strangely her love as well as his love are very strong towards each other, she might be the real reason as to why Michel returned from the afterlife in the first place.
Mark Edward Ching - Age 24/25: A good friend of Michel who keeps contact with him with the aid of MSN, strangely he doesn't know that Michel is dead upon getting a message/E-mail from him that he died, as well as asking to tell the sad news on BPZ to the other board members from which a few are friends of him. Mark only shows up in Michel's flashbacks.
Scott 'Scotty' David Harris - Age 17/18: A fellow rocker and British friend who chats with Michel by the aid of AIM/AOL Messenger. Doesn't really believe that Michel is dead until being confronted by a strange nightmare in which Michel somehow shows what has happened.
Scott continues writing Chouoh Sentai Hollanger, or at least tries it to keep
Michel's honour up and alive. Scott only shows up in Michel's flashbacks.
Jason 'Jayse' - Age 23/24: A non straight friend/online friend of Michel who can also act as his older brother or older clone. Jayse makes banners and avatars like a pro while still attending college. Jayse once made a picture on request for Michel who later uses that exact same picture to make his 'mask'. Jayse only appears in Michel's flashback once.
Wouter Harder - Age ???: 1 of the 3 killers who murdered the family Dijkhuizen with the use of a car bomb, has removed the lungs from Wim while impaling an iron bar trough Michel's right hand. He did the murder for the needed money.
Rinaldo Hagenbeuk - Age ???: Colleague of both Michel and Wouter who is almost as fat as a Sumo Wrestler while listening to very sappy Dutch music. Overheard Wouters mumbling 'bout money issues, before giving him an address to a certain doctor for a little task. Is also in a way responcible for the murder of the family Dijkhuizen.
Karin - Age ???: 1 of the 3 killers who murdered the family Dijkhuizen with the use of a car bomb. Removed the liver from Aranka which followed with impaling Michel his left hand by using a large piece of glass. Murder the family for both money and for personal vengeance.
Geoffrey - Age ???: Last killer and also some sort of leader of the trio. His motives for the murder are his own as he enjoys killing. Ripped out the heart of Ria as well as impaling a part of the dashboard trough Michel's left foot. He also pulls the trigger which shot the bullet straight trough the guy's head.
Can almost always be found hanging around in the Boothill Saloon.
Doctor Frank Fernadeli - Age ???: Not much is known about this doctor only that he uses other people's organs to stay living forever. Is in reality a Satanic Doctor who wants to become an Immortal without the use of summoning the DEVIL into his own body, for he wants to be himself instead of being somebody else. He MIGHT have found a way to complete his goal.
Police Officer John - Age around the 30's: Is on the case of the Murder of the family Dijkhuizen for almost about 6 days long, he strangely discovers sign's or symbols of what appears to be a crow or something as he slowly discovers what the clues all mean.

Scene 1 (Rest In Pain)
FADE IN ON:
TOTAL DARKNESS WITH A FEW HINTS OF GRAY ((the names of the main 5 cast in white letters, followed by the production crew shows up 1 by 1))
Parts of the screen slowly reveals somewhat darker black stains and some reddish stains to REVEAL what appears to be blood coming from open wounds before zooming out a bit, revealing some cuts and rips in a black T-shirt with spread arms, some Power Tape wrapped around the strangers left arm and on shirt itself.
((the text ‘The Crow’ with under it the word ‘Stigmata’ in blood red colors written in front of what seems to be in front of a skeleton of a crow bird before fading away, getting replaced by the text ‘The Crow: Stigmata is inspired upon the fanfic The Crow: Blood Ties written by M.P. Dijkhuizen’ shows up like before))
Camera continues to zoom out before revealing a body impaled upon a heavy wooden cross, making the body look like a modern day Jesus Christ with studded gauntlets on his lower arms, his head partly facing to the right, not allowing to reveal his face with closed eyes, his black hair being a complete mess like he just came back from the death.
((as last, the text ‘The Crow is based upon the comic books, the comic series and the graphic novel written by James O’Barr’ appear))
THE CROW (V.O.)
I believe; that after a person dies,
a crow comes and carry the soul towards the spirit world...
But sometimes something terrible happens to the person on which the soul can’t find rest...
Close up towards the side of the guy’s face, revealing a part of his black, almost hollow eye socket like eyes which looks like he is about to wake up from his painful sleep, but nothing happens.
THE CROW (V.O. - cont’d)
But sometimes, just sometimes...
The crow can bring back that soul to put the wrong thing’s right,
so that the person can be reunited with his or her loved ones...
Camera zooms out 1 last time, this time revealing the guy his entire body with Power Tape wrapped around his T-shirt with cuts and what seems to be bullet holes, some blood dripping out of the fresh, open wounds while it seems that it is trying to go back into the wounds as well.
Some more Power Tape is wrapped around his right upper leg and left lower leg/shin with his left shoe missing, a black, rusted nail impaled into his left foot with blood flowing out of it, 2 more rusty nails impaled trough his hands, blood dripping towards the ground, the drops hitting a little blackish red pool of blood on the floor of a church.

Scene 2 (Painful Rebirth)
EXT. Street with some sort of church around a corner, a sign outside reading MONUTA UITVAARTZORG CENTRUM-Night
Subtitles reads: “2 days later” as the camera zooms in from the left angle, zooming in a bit closer towards the--
PARKING LOT
Many different types of cars in different colors and shapes are all parked on a parking lot as the camera zooms in a bit before tilting a bit to the skies, clouds are gathering while a HOODED CROW flies towards a lantern pole, cawing several times while flapping it’s black wings a few times upon letting them rest, close up towards his eerie brown eyes.
HOODED CROW’S P.O.V. - TROUGH IT’S BROWN EYES, SEEING THE WORLD IN A BITTER TONE OF BLACK AND WHITE WITH A HINT OF A GREENISH SHADE
The bird sees a black colored Daewoo driving up onto the parking lot as a family of 3, 1 tall guy around the age of 45 with short dark brown hair who is wearing black jeans, a bomber jacket and a black T-shirt, a rather chubby woman with short blondish hair and blue jeans with red winter jacket from around the age of 30 and a young girl from 14 years old with long blond hair, a bit chubby while wearing black trousers and a thick black winter jacket. All 3 walks towards the 2 glass doors with their heads lowered in sadness.
BACK TO HOODED CROW
--cocking it’s little black head to the right, the crow jumps off of the lantern pole while gliding trough the air and wind towards a nearby big tree, spreading it’s big, majestic black with some white on it wings before landing on a branch, glaring towards the building.
CUT TO:
INT. Inside Monuta Uitvaartzorg Centrum
Many people are sitting in chairs, talking towards each other a bit, drinking some Pepsi cola or Sisi or 7Up. All of them looking in both sadness and question marks as to why they had to be murdered, and who has murdered them as well.
ROBERTINO
(looks over towards MARTIN)
Hey Martin, Carla,
Angela. My condolence
MARTIN
(Nods with a stern/sad face)
Yeah, thanks Rob...
MARTIN looks over his shoulder straight towards 2 open room which held 2 open coffins per room, CARLA and ANGELA both take a seat behind 1 of the many tables, sitting across a tall hairy faced man with curled black hair, his name is GERARD HERNI, sitting next to him is his oldest son who is as tall as MARTIN with very short black hair who listens to the name of SANDER HERNI.
The second and also the guy’s youngest son is sitting next to SANDER as he has long, curled, dark brown hair and is wearing a black Nirvana T-shirt, his name being DAVY HERNI.
GERARD
(glares towards CARLA)
Hey Carla... My condolence
CARLA
(looks up towards GERARD)
Condolence to you as well Gerard
ANGELA, SANDER and DAVY both stands up from their seats before walking towards the 2 rooms in which 4 coffins lay --
CUT TO:
------------------
DISSOLVE TO:
STRANGE RED PLACE SURROUNDED WITH FIRE
Souls, million of souls are either floating around, or screaming in pain while being tortured in the most painful of ways possible.
Somewhere, 4 souls are chained by chains of fire, burning painfully trough their soul like flesh, 4 Demons each are eating away at the 4 souls which are all naked, only their private parts being covered by a sort of flame.
A man, probably close to the 50 years old is being eaten by a black-and-red in fire shrouded demon who is eating trough a hole in the man’s chest, eating up the soul version of his lungs time and time again for all eternity, the man screaming in a tormenting pain, he is WILLEM DIJKHUIZEN.
Next to him, a woman who is about 45 years old is screaming in a terrible pain as well, a blue-and-black in fire covered demon with 2 horns is eating away her soul heart again and again and again, it is a miracle that she is still alive while showing signs of actually suffering like crazy, her name being RIA DIJKHUIZEN.
A young girl, probably 15 years old with long dark brown hair is crying bluish hollow tears out of her eyes, a female looking demon with dark silver-and-black-red flames keeps on licking into an open wound which reveals her liver, slowly becoming less upon slowly reforming itself, the young girl listening to the name of ARANKA JANINA DIJKHUIZEN.
The last soul that goes under a terrible pain is a young man who is 20 years old, having black short hair on the front, but black long hair on the back, the young man twisting and twitching desperately to break free from his flaming chains, a demon who is much bigger then the other 3 demons is licking with 4 tongues upon the wounds on the young man’s left foot, both his hands and into the bullet hole on his forehead, the demon trying to eat away his brains, but to no avail as a black shadow suddenly covers both the dark black covered flaming demon and the young man.
Suddenly the flaming chains disappear from the young man his wrists and ankles while his arms are still spread like being impaled upon a wooden cross, his eyes all of the sudden..--
DISSOLVE TO:
WHITE INTERIOR MADE OF SOME SORT OF SILK INSIDE A COFFIN
Sudden the eyes of the death corpse shot open as the dead body starts gasping for air in panic, looking around in panic, he tries desperately to push away the hatch that is on top of the coffin, a strange looking hole on the front of his head slowly dissolving away as only a small scar is left behind, his face partly burned although it was removed for the most part off of his face and body.
Finally, the young man pushes the hatch away as he tumbles out of the coffin, landing onto the hard ground in pain, breaking his wrists which all of the sudden heal very quickly.
Confused and dazzled, the young man slowly and stiffly walks towards the locked door, extending his shaking right hand towards the doorknob, the living corpse manages to unlock the door with a gentle, but strong push, pulling the door back with force as a few of the flower pots gets smashed off of their tables, breaking onto the ground while his name is MICHEL PETER DIJKUIZEN.

Scene 3 (Reliving the pain)
INT. Boothill Saloon, at the table
Music playing at the moment: Anouk - Are you kidding me
The trio of Wouter, Karin and Geoffrey are listening to the music currently playing in the café, drinking some Pepsi Cola while about 9 empty glasses are standing on the small round table they are sitting against, both Geoffrey and Wouter smoking a cigarette while Karin is slowly starting to feel uncomfortable, hanging around a place where Punk Rockers, Goth’s, etc meet to drink, smoke, blow, talk and listening to the music, but continues drinking from her 4th Pepsi Cola, Wouter noticing this.
WOUTER
Hey Karin,
you feeling alright?
KARIN
Huh, yeah I’m cool...
I’m just feeling a bit out of place.
GEOFFREY
(takes a crack before puffing it out)
If you can’t handle the pressure bitch,
then get the hell out of here.
Geoffrey takes a last drag from his cigarette before putting it out in an ashtray, the tall Goth like guy taking a quick gulp from his drink before looking at the almost empty glass with a strange, twisted smile
GEOFFREY (cont’d)
(looking trough the glass)
So tell me anyway you filthy bitch,
why did you accepted in helping to ice that family?
KARIN
(looking up towards Geoffrey a bit ill looking)
I needed the money...
GEOFFREY
(glaring disgruntled)
And...?
KARIN
Alright, I’ll F---ing confess...
Michel and his mother Ria both where colleagues
of mine, spreading out lies that I’m a bitch.
Karin swallows her breath in a bit before taking a sip of her Pepsi Cola, trying to relax a bit before continuing her explanation as to why--
KARIN (cont’d)
They where spreading out lies,
telling to other colleagues that I’m a bitch.
Only because I let that Bitched woman her son work while
being as sick as a dog, so because of that,
I wanted them and the rest of their family dead!
And that doctor had a little errant for
me in exchange for some money.
Geoffrey smiled a bit with a fake smile while still glaring a bit trough his glass, but quickly smashes it down onto the table, looking towards Wouter with both anger and a fake smile/evil grin on his own face.
GEOFFREY
And what is your reason, Wouter?
WOUTER
(looks up with stupid grin)
Well... I needed the money a lot
as 1 of my colleagues overheard me talking about it.
Wouter takes a quick sip from his drink before ordering another Pepsi Cola with rum in it this time, he quickly takes place at the other 2--
WOUTER (cont’d)
So he gave me the address of his doctor,
saying that he might have a little task for me to do,
in exchange for the money and well that is why I did it...
Geoffrey grins a bit as he slowly backs down a bit on his chair, listening to the so called crap that is known as Anouk upon glaring over towards the bartender
GEOFFREY
(shouting)
Hey... Bartender.
BARTENDER (V.O.)
What do you want?
GEOFFREY
(evil grin)
Switch the goddamn music and put up Slipknot already.
ANGLE TO - The bar with the bartender cleaning up 1 of the glasses, his head facing into the direction of Geoffrey
BARTENDER
(a bit annoyed)
Which song?
GEOFFREY (V.O.)
Duality... What else.
Sighing out, the bartender reaches up to the switch button of the CD Player, searching for the song of Slipknot called Duality.
He shakes his head a bit before taking an order from 1 of the Rock customers of the Rock Café
Music currently playing: Slipknot - Duality
The_Crow - January 7, 2006 09:06 PM (GMT)
Well, I've some good news. AND some bad news
The BAD NEWS is that The Crow: Stigmata is cancelled script wise and will be totally rewritten...
As for the GOOD NEWS, today, after working an entire Month and 4 days, I have finished the SCRIPT for The Crow: Burning Angel (about 38 pages long, that is a long script for a short fan made film)
Well, now it is time to get the budget and stuff like that together
I'll keep you all updated on the progress of this fan film
Rainbow3x_KingKnight - January 11, 2006 04:32 PM (GMT)
this one was interesting after reading it.
The_Crow - March 22, 2006 09:02 PM (GMT)
Thanks Eddo, although the original (unfinished) script is much more longer/larger
BUT... Can anybody please close or delete (I prefer Close) this thread please? Consider that I have abandoned this fan film project and am currently working hard with the fan film The Crow: Burning Angel which (if things go right) will start shooting next year's summer (it might be going to be a 6 Month long operation with Post Production and Production - Filming and stuff that is)
