Film Treatment of Silent Night - Thriller Film Opening

One evening three daring teenage boys walk through a deserted park late at night.
As they are talking and walking they come across a range of unusual objects. One is a hand which is covered in blood and many cardboard boxes with traces of blood on them. The boys are all slightly frightened but they continue to walk, not wanting to be seen as wimps.
As they continue to walk they come across a homeless man lying on the bench. He is dressed in a black scruffy coat and a red t-shirt and is using cardboard boxed to keep himself warm.
The fact that there is alcohol on the bench is clearly looking for trouble; the boys notice this and all three have different reactions. One of the boys is extremely terrified and wants to go home, the other boy wants to steal the man's alcohol, the third slightly ditsy boy just goes along with the idea. The first boy is dared to take the alcohol.
The first boy, despite being unsure about whether he should take the alcohol or not, decides to go along with it anyway as a result of being pressurized.
After succeeding in his dare, the boy is then dared to take the man's hat as well; this time, however, he is unfortunate as he wakes the homeless man. The other two boys run off, leaving their friend behind looking shocked. He drops the hat and begins to run away but fails as he trips down over the hand. The homeless man is now fully awake and is standing over the boy. Our film opening then ends with a grin on the homeless man's face and him signalling to be quiet by putting his finger over his lips.
