SCENT TO KILL or SATAN'S ROOT
A Screenplay by Peter Mark Richman
Robert, an advertising executive working on a new account, is entrusted with the responsibility of finding a unique scent for a new ladies perfume to be called "Victorian House." In order to achieve this, he has engaged a specific laboratory and a specialist, a well-known chemist, to produce this particular and exceptionally enticing fragrance.
During the extraction process of the scent from a rare source root only found in a remote Indonesian village, the chemist discovers, under the microscope, that the ancient root cells are still alive and extremely active in a dangerous and peculiar way. He tries to reverse the process and fails.
It leads to his violent and horrifying death.
And in the distillation process, the "being," or presence, that has been extracted and set free from the test root, along with the fragrance, exerts a powerful and bewitching influence on the people responsible for its release from root captivity...especially the unwary Robert.
Robert, against the premonition of his wife, Vivian, finds himself driven to pursue the actual Victorian House that will be the chosen "image" of the new, exotic perfume in his advertising campaign.
In the process, even while losing control of his faculties and jeopardizing the safety of his wife, he insists on continuing his strangely obsessive search for this Victorian House in the obscure, hidden woods of a small town.
Robert's eventual discovery of the house, its past history, and the eccentric and bizzare caretaker who knows all its secrets, is finally led to a frightening confrontation with this ungodly "being"...and the impending potential for total disaster.
