The Coven – The Story.

Present day, late October in historic Highgate, North London.
Charismatic Teacher (Mr Sheers) strolls a wood panelled classroom debating with his
young teenage students the significance of the number seven, the religious values of
Neo-Paganism and recent activity in nearby Queen’s Wood, home to many lime-filled
plague pits from the Black Death in the sixteen hundreds.
He reveals there exists a clearing within Queen’s Wood surrounded by thirteen ancient
Oak trees officially known as ‘The Coven’ and that many Pagans
continue to meet there.
His lesson is interrupted by a beautiful Supply Teacher (Mrs Belial), who advises that
he is needed by the Headmaster right away.
Mrs Belial continues the class and raises the topic of missing rebel politico
‘Uri Clef’. She explains the name ‘Uri’ is Hebrew for ‘God of Light’ and ‘Clef’ is
French for the word ‘Key’. The Key to the God of Light.
Uri charmed students across the country with his enigmatic ways. Parents objected to
his extremist views, fearing he was gathering a young atheistic army. The suggestion
of anarchy is fuelled after seven people vanished on the night of Halloween some years
before – Uri Clef and his chosen six disciples. All that was found were Uri’s motorbike
keys under one of Oaks in the Coven, linking his presence to Queen’s Wood that night.
The Woods have remained closed to the Public on Halloween ever since.
Captivated, five school girls: (twins Cara & Ruby, Ulrika, Fran and Izzy) plan a secret
sleep-over in the woods on Halloween and lie to their parents about their whereabouts.
In the Coven they discover the name “LUCIFER” freshly scrawled on the ground and
in an act of bravado Izzy chalks their names under each matching initial.
She leaves two spare letters: L and E.

Mr Sheers meets with colleague Charlie in the local pub and discusses his day. He tells
Charlie that he had been summoned to the Head Master but that he couldn’t find him
and that the school office had no record of the Supply Teacher either.
Charlie is shocked to discover that the name of the Supply is Mrs Belial as this
means ‘Prince of the Devil’.
Mr Sheers laughs this off as Hocus Pocus but is left feeling unsettled.

Two young lads, Louie and Eddy are forced to take the short cut home through the
woods after missing the last train home from a party. Mrs Belial watches closely in the
shadows as they climb over the railings.
As the night wears on, it is clear that the seven youngsters are not alone in the Woods
and their being there is no coincidence.

A powerful motorbike roars through the undergrowth, blinding them in the glare of its
headlight, hunting them down one by one.
Who is he? What does he want with them? Are they the next ‘seven’?

This is a contemporary no gore spooky film aimed to include a younger audience, 
steeped with Historic facts, shot solely on location in Highgate and in the actual
ancient Coven in Queen’s Wood.
