Court

INT. NIGHT. COURT.

THIS IS A COURT FULL OF GHOSTS. THE JUDGE HAS HIS HEAD SEPARATED FROM HIS BODY AND RESTING IN HIS HANDS.

SFX CHAINS BEING RATTLED, WAILS AND OTHER SPOOKY NOISES.

JUDGE: Order in court, order in court.

A POLTERGEIST BANGS THE JUDGES GAVEL.

JUDGE: Mr Ernest Williams, deceased. You have been charged with the crime of not being scary enough. How do you plead?

CAMERA PANS ROUND TO REVEAL AN OVERTLY CAMP GHOST, SIMILARLY DRESSED AS ‘THE ONLY GAY IN THE VILLAGE CHARACTER.' HE IS SIPPING AT A CUP OF TEA.

ERNEST: Ghoul tea. (PAUSE) Ooh, its very nice. Earl Grey I think. Wooh!

ENDS.

Sorry folks, I had to get it out of my system.

It's good but I think you maybe missing a couple more examples from Ernest to really make it killer.
