The following footage was shot in April of 2019 to be aired on Netflix. Due to Crimson’s behavioral issues the contract was terminated. Fury Studios retained the episodes filmed from April to July to be aired on Battleground Network. Enjoy.
4/3/2019
New Guinea, Indonesia
7:33 a.m.
A shot of the Battleground Network app slowly fades into focus. A terrifying female scream can be heard as a new show suddenly pops up in the line after Blitz 24 and Fright Night. The logo for The Demon Archeologist gets selected in the lineup.
The Fury Studios logo glitches to engulf the wide shot before forming into the Battleground Network logo.
The earth suddenly comes into focus. The blue wonder glows with life. A camera shot suddenly begins to drop toward the atmosphere like a bullet. The island of New Guinea can be made out from high above. The camera shot continues to plummet to the ground toward a beach of one of the world’s largest islands.
The camera hovers above after the special effects free fall using satellite technology. The beach comes into view. A fog lingers throughout on this damp April morning. A small crew can be made out on the beach. Four men dig beneath what appears to be a large boulder near the tree line on the beach. Sand flies in every direction.
Cameras line the beach to film this excavation. Tommy Crimson, Eddie Murder, and other Fury Studios employees are doing the digging in a real hurry. This island is known to have a cannibal tribe which causes the crew to rush. This beach is considered cursed by the entire island but Korowai tribe have been spotted here.
Crimson and his crew came here to find a cursed relic believed to have been buried on this beach by the French Explorer, Robert Hottot, son of the famous explorer of the same name.
Hottot disappeared in the mid nineteen fifties on this island. Tommy and Eddie have learned from research that the explorer died on this beach and the Korowai tribe didn’t consume the body but rather pushed this huge boulder over the cave that holds the explorers corpse.
The tribe believed the explorer to be cursed by a weapon he carried. A dagger, that Hottot claimed, belonged to Vlad The Impaler. The real life dracula. The dagger was used by Vlad Dracula to disembowel many men, women, and children. Cursed by Dracula himself and a weapon that led to this explorers madness that consumed him whole.
Sand continues to fly up from around the large rock that appears to have been purposely placed here for some reason.
“I can see!” Eddie Murder calls out from the bottom of the hole.
Crimson peers over to see a visible hole alongside the boulder. Everyone dives into with shovels to dig out the hole more. The crew continues to dig until the hole is just big enough for someone to squeeze through. Murder bangs his shovel against the boulder which causes them all to freeze. Tommy shoots Eddie a mean look for possibly alerting the nearby cannibals.
The crew arrived on the beach hours before to use the cover of night to evade the tribe. They have been digging around this boulder since with real speed.
“We have to go in.” Crimson orders.
A reluctant expression crosses Eddie Murder’s face before he squeezes through the hole.
“What do you see?” The Fury asks.
“It’s a small cove of some sort. A narrow tunnel of rock that leads somewhere.” Eddie echoes back.
Crimson then makes himself as small as he can to squeeze through the hole. He gets through and the cameras attached to them begin to film. Tommy turns his flashlight on after entering the small space. Eddie stops dead in his tracks to hold his light down the tunnel. The air in the cave is cold where it's warm outside on the beach.
“This place creeps me the fuck out, Tom.” Eddie whispers.
“Don’t be a pussy on my tv show.” Crimson replies sharply.
“Okay.” Eddie answers.
The two men slowly make their way down the small tunnel. It leads to a wider chamber but with every step they take, the air becomes heavier with a cold evil feeling.
“What is that?” The Fury asks Eddie directly.
“It looks like a dead guy!” Murder screams out.
Crimson rushes past Eddie to shine the light on the mummified corpse.
“That’s Robert Hottot.” Crimson reveals.
“No way.” Murder replies.
“The Korowai Tribe put him in this cove then pushed that huge rock to cover it forever.” Tommy explains further.
Crimson shines his flashlight at the dead explorer, who appears to be clutching something in death. A dagger. The blade gleams at the edge from the reflection of the light. Sharp. Precious jewels adorn the handle. The Fury leans in to take hold of the dagger to pull it free but Robert’s arm falls off in the process.
“Oh, Shit!” Murder calls out.
Tommy laughs before spinning around to face Eddie.
“What!? Jesus, fuck… It’s not like he needs it attached anymore. Let’s go.” Crimson directs before brushing past Eddie.
A green haze can be seen down the tunnel now. It lingers all around but the two men spot it immediately.
“What is that!?” Eddie exclaims into a question.
“Like I know. Cover your face!” Tommy instructs before taking off down the small tunnel.
The two men have to crouch to get through and bump into the rocks walls but continue on. The small opening can be made out from the GoPro cameras. Eddie rushes ahead to slip through the hole as fast as possible. Crimson clutches the dagger close as he squeezes through the opening.
Tommy gets outside to take his first breath since encountering the green gas. He holds the dagger in both hands to admire it. The old relic could sell for a small fortune but Tommy will keep it. Maybe he can use any power it could have to further monetize his brand. Dracula’s dagger will be the center piece to an already growing collection.
“What do we do???” Eddie whispers at Tommy.
Crimson looks up from his first successful Vlad find to see Eddie holding both hands up. Tommy peers around the beach to see the crew have all disappeared. Fifteen Korowai tribesmen stand all around the two men holding spears and rocks. Tommy drops the dagger and it hits blade first in the sand.
“Motherfucker.” Crimson exclaims without thinking.
“Are they going to eat us!?” Eddie nervously asks.
“Probably.” The Fury replies.
