Act 2: The Curse and Its Consequences

Subplot Development: Gardener's life starts returning to normal, but they remain haunted by the memory of the record and its nightmarish power.
Act 3: The Unforeseen Return
Climax: The record resurfaces when a friend, unaware of its history, purchases it as a gift for Gardener. The friend gives them the cursed LP, not realizing its dark nature.
Falling Action: Gardener faces a moral and psychological dilemma: keep the record and endure the nightmares or dispose of it and risk it harming others.

Final Scene: A somber realization of the dangers of meddling with the unknown, leading to a twist revealing a deeper mystery, and a cathartic end where the curse is finally broken.
Additional Elements to Consider
Character Development: Gardener's journey with the record should reflect an internal journey, possibly touching on themes of obsession, curiosity, and the consequences of one's actions.
Atmosphere and Tone: Given the low-budget horror movie vibe, a mix of suspense, eerie moments, and perhaps some dark humor could enrich the narrative.
Symbolism: The vinyl record could symbolize something deeper, like a hidden desire or a suppressed part of the protagonist's psyche.
