WB Backstory For Pitch - Wakefield Manor

We are pleased to introduce you to our new film 'Wakefield Manor'. Through the work of Ross Galloway, Dan Wild and myself, we have formed a gripping tale of a young woman and her baby called Betsy that through a series of unfortunate circumstances are bound to a house that they shall never leave. This woman is bound to this house with her beloved bastard child that 109 years ago she killed with her bare hands. Following this she hung herself in the shame and horror of what she had done. This mother was psychologically scarred by her abusive partner and her shame of having a child out of wedlock caused her to make a decision that evidently has had disastrous consequences. For the first 3 months of young Betsy's life she was cared for and treated well. Nevertheless, not once did she leave this decrepit house. Finally on the 13th November 1904 the grief got to the young mother and Betsy was sentenced to an early grave. Through some unknown force, this young girl along with her mother have been bound to a house for the past hundred years, living as a myth. Time continued to pass and the pair remained. Families have since come and gone yet the tragic tale of the battered mother and child has always been deeply embedded into the minds of those who have lived within these walls. It is said that the screams of the poor mother being beaten by her partner can still occasionally be heard. Other stories consist of the cries of the young child along with the name "BETSY" appearing on the bare walls in a stain of blood. Throughout the past century there have even been sightings of the haunted pair within that house down Wakefield Avenue. The mother blames society, her abusive partner, and the world around for her daughters early death. This young lady being as psychologically damaged as she is feels nothing but hatred for the living. She wants every last living being to suffer like she did and feel the coldness of death. Now in the present day, a few curious teens test whether the stories are true. The myth of the battered mother and child comes alive in this twisted yarn that introduces you to the other side of the world we live in; filled with death, darkness, and despair.
