COLD OPEN – BLACK SCREEN / AUDIO ONLY

HEAVY BREATHING.
DISTANT SCREAMING.
SOFT NOTIFICATIONS BEEPING.

“Hey guys, welcome back to my channel…”

Gurgling. Static. A phone camera turns on. Light flickers.

We see a half-dead influencer — blood dripping from their nose — crawling through dirt. A cell phone is literally lodged in their throat, stuck on livestream mode.

VIEWERS IN COMMENTS:

“Is this a new horror prank??”
“LMAO this acting is fire.”
“WAIT… is she blinking HELP in Morse code?!”

TITLE CARD:

“DON’T FOLLOW ME”

ACT ONE – 72 HOURS EARLIER

Location: An off-grid influencer healing retreat — “Ascension Lake”

Ten influencers arrive, thinking this is a private, paid collab experience.

Each has a massive online following. Each has a deadly online secret.

CAMP LEADER – DIVINE REX (40s)
Big smile. All white. Bare feet. Gives cult vibes.

DIVINE REX
Welcome, chosen creators.
No phones. No brands. No lies.
This week… you’ll find your real self.

He passes out special wristbands. They beep when someone lies.
(They also track movement — but no one knows that… yet.)

ACT TWO – NIGHT ONE: FIRST KILL

Rayven Raw sneaks off into the woods with her burner phone to post secret sponsored fitness content.

She sets up her ring light near the lake.
Suddenly — the light shuts off.

She hears a notification sound.
But it’s not from her phone. It’s coming from the trees.

A distorted robotic voice whispers:

“You lied about your scars.
Now bleed for the truth.”

She turns — a tall, masked figure in black tactical gear is behind her.
He throws a USB-shaped dagger — it sticks in her thigh.
She screams. Crawls. Falls into the lake.

Her body floats. Her phone stays live. Her fans watch the whole thing.

ACT THREE – THE NEXT MORNING

The group thinks she left the camp early. Her phone is gone.

Tre Montana jokes: TRE
Guess she rage quit the wifi cleanse.

Jelly Jazz just stares at the lake. Whispering.

“It wanted blood… and now it’s full.”

Everyone laughs awkwardly.

The screen shows a silent LIVE feed still running.
Comments are flooding in:

“Wait. Rayven’s phone is STILL LIVE.”
“I saw someone behind her before it cut off.”
“Why is the screen still wet???”

ACT FOUR – SUPPORTERS IN THE SHADOWS

Cut to a hidden underground bunker in the woods.

Three figures — The Dark Net Angels — are watching all the influencers through hacked devices and camera drones disguised as fireflies.

LEAD ANGEL (Female voice):
They thought last season was hell.

SECOND ANGEL (Male voice):
Now it’s their unfiltered judgment.

THIRD ANGEL (Glitched, electronic voice):
One post… one scream… one kill at a time.

ACT FIVE – NIGHT TWO: THE USB GRAVEYARD

Briah Blunt finds Rayven’s blood-stained USB blade in her makeup bag.
She’s shook.

She hears a ringtone — but her phone is locked away.

She turns to the mirror.

In her reflection:
Rayven is standing behind her, mouth open, phone still in throat, glitching.

RAYVEN’S GHOST (croaking):

“You tagged me in the post…
but never showed up to my funeral.”

Mirror shatters. Briah screams.
Blood drips from her ear.
She collapses.

ENDING – CAMPFIRE NIGHT

Divine Rex lights a ceremonial fire.
The influencers gather.

Suddenly, a phone drops from a tree into the flames — Rayven’s livestream still running.

On-screen it reads:

“DON’T FOLLOW ME. TOO LATE.”

DIVINE REX
Looks like Ascension Lake…
just got its first confession.

POST-CREDITS SCENE:

A random TikTok user gets a notification:

“NEW STREAM: ‘Unfiltered Truth from the Lake’”

They click it.

Their phone camera turns on automatically.
They drop the phone.

“Hey… hey! Why can’t I turn this off?!”

Screaming. Static. Blackout.

NEXT TIME ON ‘COMMENT OR DIE – SEASON 2’:

Episode 2 – “Viral Silence”
Tre Montana’s prank goes too far — and when no one believes him, he becomes the next target.
The killer uses sound to find victims… and silence becomes deadly.
