The Woods

FADE TO:

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

The night is dark, and quiet. Owls hoot, and a wolf howl is heard. Trees take up most of the space, as a girl comes running through the woods..

The girl is..APRIL BLINKNER, a girl in her mid 20's. Long, brown hair, tall, and athletic.

April runs through the woods quickly, while pacing herself.

APRIL
Someone help me!!!

Close behind her, a figure dressed in black pants, and a black hoodie, with the hood covering his face, chases her with a sharp spear in his hands.
April turns around and sees the Killer close behind her.

April's face goes ballistic.

APRIL
Help me!! Someone's trying to kill me!! Help!!

April looks behind her as she runs. She sees nothing except for trees that go on forever. She stops and listens for moment. She then quickly hides behind a large tree. April begins to pant, trying to keep hold of her breath.

She hears a crunch. She jumps, startled, as she slowly checks her side. She sees no one, but turns around to see the Killer with the spear in his hands.

APRIL 
Ahhh!!!

The Killer jerks the spear back, and bolts it at April, just as she jumps to the side, dodging the spear.

APRIL 
Ahh!!

April grabs the spear away from the Killer, and throws it as hard as she can through the woods.
She looks at the Killer. There's a frightening pause, as the Killer finally moves toward April. April goes ballistic and starts to run.

April runs through the woods, as she turns, dodging branches and trees, puddles, and holes.
She turns around while running, and sees nothing, and turns forward to collide into a tree. April grunts, as she falls down.

APRIL 
Ow.

April quickly recovers herself, as she looks beyond the vast amount of trees to see a small building, with the lights turned on.

APRIL
Thank God.

April makes a sprint for the building. She is finally only a yard away, as she runs through the clearing, and sees a woman through the window. She is almost there, when a spear plunges through her stomach. She stands there motionless, and dazed.
She turns around to see the Killer, a yard away. April falls to her knees, and tries to spit out a word, but gurgles up blood instead. She falls to the ground, twitching.

TITLE CARD- Fear: THE WOODS

FADE IN:

EXT. ROAD- DAY

Moments later...

The road is empty, with only one Van cruising through the road.

INT. VAN-DAY

The van is big, and spacious. There are six people riding in it. The six people include....

LYNDSEY ADKINS, a caucasian male. 18 years old. Short, blond hair; tall and muscular. 

JAKE SUMMERS, a short hispanic. Wavy black hair. 16 years old, and really skinny.

DEVON KNOWLES, a beautiful woman. In her mid 20's, with a gorgeous smile. Short, red hair, and ample cleavage.

LLUVY ROWLAND, a young 17 year old african- american sweetheart. Long, black hair with red streaks. Tall, with a developed body.

BOBBY FREEDOM, a chubby male. In his mid 20's. Tall, but chubby with short brown hair.

HEIDI WILLIAMS, a gorgeous young lady. 18 years old, with long, wavy blond hair. A athletic, and gorgeous body. 

Bobby sits at the front driving the car. Devon is next to him on passengers.
Seated on the second row of the van, Lluvy and Heidi are seated. And at the back, Lyndsey, and Jacob are seated there, with one empty space left.

Devon puffs a cigarette. They all look somewhat nervous.

BOBBY 
Crew, were almost there.

HEIDI 
Finally.

JAKE
 Wa, wa wait. Where exactly are we going again?

DEVON 
Were gonna go in these woods up there. One of my buds said there are some cabins in there that we can rob.

JAKE 
There scattered right?

DEVON
 What do you mean, Jake?

JAKE
 Like, there not all together. Are the cabins by themselves so we can rob 'em easily?

DEVON
 You betcha.

HEIDI
 Should we bring a gun?

LLUVY
 Nah Heidi, what do you think? Bring nothin?

HEIDI
 No, I was just wondering. Damn, Lluvy, you don't have to over exaggerate everything I say.

LLUVY
 Well, maybe I won't if you can stop asking retarded questions like (imitating Heidi), "Should we bring a gun? Should we take all the money? Ohh, maybe we should leave some."

JAKE
 Amen to that.

Heidi rolls her eyes.

LYNDSEY
 Guys, Heidi hasn’t been in our crew for a long time, ya know. So at least give her a chance.

Heidi smiles at Lindsey.

Bobby halts the van to a stop, by the woods.

BOBBY
Ladies, and gents, we're here.

DEVON
 Lluvy, bring the flashlights. Jake bring a gun. Lyndsey bring some rope and some duct tape. Heidi bring the lighter, and gasoline. Heidi, this is your first time with us, so stay close in case anything happens, you hear?

HEIDI
 Yeah, Devon.

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

The moon glistens, as the 6 begin to head into the woods. All of them have flashlights.

LYNDSEY 
All right crew, this is what's gonna happen.

LLUVY 
Mmmhmm.

LYNDSEY 
First were gonna see if anyone's home. Then, Bobby, me, and Devon are going to come through the back. Heidi, you and Lluvy knock on the doors, and talk to the owner. We're gonna get them from the back, and tie them up, or what not.
Jake, you be our eyes, and keep a look out. Everyone got that.

HEIDI
 Yeah.

The 6 watch their step as the walk up a steep hill.

BOBBY
 Watch your step.

JAKE
 (pointing) Ooo, look I think I see one.

DEVON
 See what, Jake?

JAKE
 A cabin. Right there.

There the cabin sits, with the lights on, far in the distance.

JAKE
 Can ya'll see it?

HEIDI
 Yeah, I see it.

BOBBY
 I can't see it.

LLUVY
 Bobby, you must need glasses.

BOBBY
 Yeah that's what my mom tells me. She says I need to stop watching T.V so close.

Lluvy and Heidi look at each other, and chuckle.

HEIDI
 You still live with your mom?

LLUVY
 Well, an’t that a damn shame.

BOBBY
 Give me a break. It's free food, shelter, and care that's priceless.

LLUVY
 Well...., you need to find yourself your own place.

LYNDSEY
 Okay guys, let's head out.

EXT. CABIN CLEARING- NIGHT

The 6 walk up to the cabin.

DEVON
 Jake, here's your binoculars.

Devon tosses it to Jake.

LYNDSEY
 Jake, get into place.

JAKE
 Alright. See you hot shots later.

HEIDI
 Bye.

LLUVY
 See ya later Jakey.

BOBBY
 Jake, if anything comes up tell us.

JAKE
 Will do.

Jake leaves the group.

LYNDSEY
 Guys, let's get into place.

BOBBY
 Let's get this party started.

DEVON
 You got that right.

Bobby, and Devon head toward the back door.

LYNDSEY
 Ya'll be on your best behavior, you hear?

LLUVY
 Don't I always?

LYNDSEY
 Heidi, don't forget to smile at whoever owns this cabin, and work what your momma gave ya.

HEIDI
 I'll try.

Lyndsey heads off.

EXT. BACK PORCH- NIGHT

Devon and Bobby are at the back porch. Devon is prying the door lock open with a needle-like tool.

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

A POV looks at Devon and Bobby a few yards away. It walks a few feet, as it crunches the leaves.

EXT. BACK PORCH- NIGHT

Bobby jerks his head back.

BOBBY
 Devon, you hear that?

DEVON
 Hear what Bobby?

BOBBY
 That noise.

DEVON
 Bobby, shut the hell up and help me open this door. If you open it, I'll but you some chicken.

BOBBY
 Hmmmm..., I'll help you if you add some potatoes, and chips with that.

DEVON
 Sure..., just help me out god damn it.

A hand touches Bobby's shoulders, as he jumps.

LYNDSEY
 Dude, chill. It's just me.

EXT. FRONT PORCH- NIGHT

Lluvy rings the door bell. Silence.
Lluvy rings it again.

LLUVY
 Heidi, I've done this a lot because I'm the best looking one in the group. Wanna hear some tips?

HEIDI
 That'd be great.

LLUVY
 Don't act too hoish, if you know what I mean.

HEIDI
 Oh, yeah, no problem.

LLUVY
 And pull your skirt down. Your showin too much skin.

Heidi pulls her skirt down.

HEIDI
 Oh, sorry. I use these when I hit the clubs.

LLUVY
 Oh puh-lease.(beat) God, is there anyone even here?

Lluvy rings the doorbell again. Nothing. She rings it again over and over.

HEIDI
Lluvy, anyone in there?

LLUVY
 Does it look like anyone's there?! I rang like 100 times if you haven't noticed. Stay here in case anyone comes. I'm gonna tell Lyndsey that no one's answering. Probably because they think you’re a ugly, pale white hooker tryin to sell your dirty stinky self. Na mean?

Lluvy leaves.

EXT. BACK CLEARING- NIGHT

Lluvy stops running as she looks on the back porch. She sees no one.

LLUVY
 Bobby, Devon?

No reply. She hears a crunch, and turns towards the woods.

LLUVY
 Hello?

EXT. FRONT PORCH- NIGHT

HEIDI waits patiently at the porch. She turns her attention towards the woods. She spot Jake, aiming his binoculars right at Heidi. Heidi waves. Heidi turns around to see Lyndsey right in front of her, through the door.
Heidi jumps.

HEIDI 
Gosh, you scared me Lyndsey.

Lyndsey opens the door so Heidi can get in.

LYNDSEY 
Oh sorry. Didn't mean to.

INT. HOUSE LIVING ROOM- NIGHT

The living room is a typical living room. T.V, couch, tables.

HEIDI
 So I'm guessing no one's here?

LYNDSEY
 Not that I know of.

They make their way to the kitchen.

INT. KITCHEN- NIGHT

Devon, Bobby, and Lluvy stand there motionless looking at a stove.

LLUVY
 Oh my Gawd.

Heidi walks up to her.

HEIDI
 Oh my god what?

BOBBY
 Look at that.

Heidi looks at the stove. There stands two pots boiling with blood and raw human flesh on it. A hand sticks out of one pot, and a foot sags out of another.

HEIDI
 What on earth is that?

LLUVY
 What the hell do you think?

DEVON
 It’s human.

HEIDI
 The thing that’s cooking.

LYNDSEY
 No way.

BOBBY
 Yes way. Obviously a cannibal lives here.

DEVON
 Or, cannibals.

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

Jacob sits Indian style on the ground as he looks at an owl, through his binoculars.

JACOB
 That’s one fat owl. Yes it is.

A crunch is heard, as Jacob turns around.

JACOB
 Hello?? (beat) Hello? Lyndsey if your there come out. (Beat) Whatever.

INT. HOUSE KITCHEN- NIGHT

On the table, there are scraps of human flesh soaked in blood.
HEIDI- Guys, you wanna get out of here. This is gross.

LLUVY
 Yeah. I mean come on. A cannibal lives here that will be dying to rip our arms off and eat them like a chicken wing.

DEVON
 I didn’t come here for nothing. Let’s just grab some valuable stuff and leave, alright.

LYNDSEY
 Let’s make it quick though.

Bobby opens the fridge.

BOBBY
 Man, I’m hungry.

The fridge reveals a jar of eyeballs, body parts, and a human head.

BOBBY
 What the fuck!

HEIDI
 What is it Bobby.

BOBBY
 You don’t even wanna know.

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

Jacob sits still looking at the owl, but know it’s eating a rat. 

JACOB
 Damn, you must be hungry you fat little fella. Eat up. (Beat)
I wonder why I always have to be the look out person. Jeesh, gimme a....

Wham!! An axe swiftly decapitates Jacob’s head off before he can finish his word. Blood flies everywhere, and the head skids down a hill. Standing is the Killer, with a bloody axe in his hand. In the other, holds April’s hair, connected to her body. The Killer starts to walk, dragging the dead April with him.

INT. HOUSE ROOM- NIGHT

Heidi looks through a room which looks like a modern bedroom.

HEIDI
 At least this room is normal.

She looks at the bed, which looks like something is underneath the sheets. 

HEIDI
 What the...

She throws the sheet aside to reveal a ripped torso, with ants and maggots swarming the human flesh.

Heidi covers her mouth.

HEIDI
 (muffled) Oh my God.

Heidi turns around to bump right into Lyndsey.
Heidi jumps, startled.

HEIDI
 God, stop scaring me Lyndsey.

LYNDSEY
 It’s not like I meant to.

Heidi leaves. Lyndsey stands looking at the mess on the bed.

LYNDSEY
 What the freak.

INT. BATHROOM- NIGHT

Devon stands in the bathroom looking around. The curtains are draped over.

DEVON 
Wish me luck.

She throws the curtain over to reveal a human body laying in the bath tub, filled with blood water.

DEVON
 Ahh!!

Devon runs outside.

INT. HALLWAY- NIGHT

Bobby, Lluvy, Lyndsey, and Heidi walk out of different rooms.
Devon walks toward the door.

LLUVY
 What’s wrong, Dev?

BOBBY
 Yeah, you told us to look for valuable stuff, didn’t you?

DEVON
 Shut up. Let’s get out of here. I don’t like this.....

She walks right into the Killer. The Killer wields an axe in his hands.

DEVON
 Ahhh!!!

LYNDSEY
 Run!

Devon turns around, and starts to run, as the Killer draws his axe down onto Devon. It barely cuts her, scraping her back.

DEVON
 Ahh!! Get off me!!

INT. BEDROOM- NIGHT

Lluvy, Heidi, Bobby, and Lyndsey barge in the room.

LLUVY
 Oh my god! Is that the cannibal?

HEIDI
 Yeah Lluvy.

BOBBY
 How are we gonna get out of here?

LYNDSEY
 Here. Let’s climb out the window.

Lyndsey runs to the window, and pulls it open.
The others follow.

LYNDSEY
 Ladies first.

Lluvy gets under the window slowly.

LYNDSEY
 Stop taking your precious time! Hurry, before he comes!!

Lluvy slides out, as Heidi goes next.

HEIDI
 Where do we go when were outside?

LYNDSEY
 Head for the car.

HEIDI
 Kay.

Heidi slips, and falls right out. Bobby is up next, as he tries to get through, with some assistance from Lyndsey.

LYNDSEY
 God, you need to drop some pounds dude.

BOBBY
 Don’t remind me. I’d rather have a heart attack right now.

Bobby falls out, and Lyndsey is halfway in when Devon runs in.

DEVON
 Help me!! The man is after me.

LYNDSEY
 Try to get out of there Devon!

Lyndsey falls out.

Devon tries to get through, but the Killer comes. Devon unsticks her head from the window, and runs behind the bed. The Killer has the axe.

The Killer runs across the bed, as Devon gets on top of the bed, and starts to run across. The Killer throws the axe down onto the bed, making it bounce Devon up in the air, and on the ground.

DEVON
 Noo!!!

The Killer runs toward Devon, as Devon pulls herself out, and heads for the door. The Killer chases after as he throws the axe onto a wall, barely missing Devon as she slips out the room.

INT. HALLWAY- NIGHT

Devon runs as fast as she can through the hallway.

DEVON
 Ahhh!!!! Someone help me!!

The Killer is right behind her, as he jumps in the air, gaining reach. He slams the axe down onto Devon’s back, as they both fall.

DEVON
 Ahh!!!

The Killer gets back up, and jabs the axe onto Devon’s head.

EXT. WOOD CLEARING- NIGHT

Heidi, and Bobby make their way to the van. Bobby falls onto the hood of the van, breathing heavily. Heidi has her hands on her knees, panting.

HEIDI
 (panting) Where....Are.....Lluvy....and.....Lyndsey?

BOBBY
 I don’t know. They probably went another way.

HEIDI
 Oh.

BOBBY
 I really need to go on slim fast.

HEIDI
 You.....sure......do...

BOBBY
 Let’s get in the car and drive off.

HEIDI
 Are you joking?

BOBBY
 Look, we can drive off to the police.

HEIDI
 What about Lluvy, Lyndsey, and Devon? And Jake?

BOBBY
 Look. Jake’s probably already dead. God bless his soul. Devon’s most likely dead too. God bless her soul. Lluvy and Lyndsey are also probably going to be dead also, leaving me and you on the chopping block. The most logical thing to do is get in the car, and get the hell out of here.

HEIDI
 I don’t know. I just don’t want to die.

BOBBY
 Heidi, think. If you don’t want to die, then get in the car, and let’s leave.

HEIDI
 Okay.

Heidi and Bobby open the van, and get in.

INT. VAN- NIGHT

Bobby is seated drivers, and Heidi is watching over his shoulder.

BOBBY
 Shit. I forgot.

HEIDI
 Forgot what?

BOBBY
 Do you have the keys?

HEIDI
 No, do you?

BOBBY
 No. Were screwed.

HEIDI
 Can you hot wire?

BOBBY
 Possibly.

Bobby looks down, and looks through the wires. Heidi watches.

HEIDI
 You sure you know what your doing?

BOBBY
 Negative. But I’m learnin.

HEIDI
 Please tell me your lyin.

BOBBY
 I may be, but really....

Wham! The Killer drives his axe onto the windshield, splattering glass all over the place. The glass shatters on Heidi.
Heidi tumbles back onto the back seats.

HEIDI
 Ahh!!! A glass chip went in my eye!!! It stings like crap!!

The Killer stands looking at his work. He looks up at Bobby. He walls to the drivers side, as Bobby opens the passenger’s door and leaves.

EXT. WOOD CLEARING- NIGHT

Bobby starts running onto the road.
The Killer follows.

BOBBY
 Ahh!!!!! Help me!!!! Heidi run!!!!

INT. VAN- NIGHT

Heidi gets control of herself, and takes the chip out of here eye. She looks through the broken windshield to see Bobby running, but the Killer is right on his tale. 

HEIDI
 Bobby, run faster!!!!

Bobby makes an attempt to run faster, but trips, and falls. The Killer whacks his axe hard onto Bobby’s back.

BOBBY
 Ahhh!!!!

The Killer whacks it again, and again, as Bobby flinches every time, until he goes motionless.
Heidi screams, as she leaves the car.

EXT. WOOD CLEARING- NIGHT

Heidi looks at the Killer, as the Killer stands there motionless looking back. He starts to chase after her. 

HEIDI
 Ahh!!!

Heidi runs into the woods.

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

Lluvy and Lyndsey are walking up a hill.

LLUVY
 Where is everyone? We’ve been running forever.

LYNDSEY
 I don’t know. But, I hope their okay.

LLUVY
 Lyndsey, I don’t wanna die.

LYNDSEY
 Me either. But Lluvy, if we keep our pride, and strength, we’ll overcome this.

LLUVY
I hope your right.(beat) Oh my god, Lyndsey, Look!
A building is sitting on a clearing, where April saw before. A woman in a car locks the door, and gets into her car.

Lyndsey and Lluvy make a run for it.

LLUVY
 Ma’am, wait!!!

LYNDSEY
 Help us!!!!

They make it to the building, just as the car starts to pull away.

LLUVY
 Stop!!! I said stop motherfucker!!

They get onto the driveway, as the car drives away through a clearing.

LYNDSEY
 This can’t be happening.

Lluvy starts to cry.

LLUVY
 Oh my god. We were so close. So close. I can’t believe I blew my chance. Damn.

LYNDSEY
 We still have hope. Let’s hide in this building. What do you think..

LLUVY
 That’s a great idea.

Lyndsey picks up a large stone, and throws it through the store, breaking the front glass.

LLUVY
 Let’s pick our hiding spot.

They walk in.

INT. BUILDING- NIGHT

The building is big and long. It’s some sort of electrical facility. There are computers, boxes, and aisles.

Lluvy and Lyndsey walk in a aisle.

LLUVY
 Whoa this place is huge.

LYNDSEY
 Yeah, I know.

LLUVY
 Where we gonna hide at?

LYNDSEY
 Let’s hide in this aisle. So no matter which way he comes, we’ll always have a place to run.

LLUVY
 Great idea. You’re a genius.

LYNDSEY
 Shh, I think someone’s coming.

LLUVY
 Who?

LYNDSEY
 I don’t know.

A figure walks through the building. They notice its Heidi.

LLUVY
 Heidi?

LYNDSEY
 Oh my god. Your right. Heidi!!

They run over to her. Lluvy hugs her, then Lyndsey.

LLUVY
 Your alive?

HEIDI
 Yeah, I’m here in the flesh.

LYNDSEY
 I thought for sure you died when we couldn’t find you.

HEIDI
 I thought ya’ll would die as well. Bobby’s dead.

LLUVY
 Are you serious. How do you know?

HEIDI
 I was there when he died. I saw Jake too. He got decapitated.

LLUVY
 Oh my God.

HEIDI
 Lluvy, do you know if Devon died?

LLUVY
 I have no clue.

LYNDSEY
 She died. She got trapped in the house. There’s no way she could’ve got out safely.

They see a figure walking through the woods.

HEIDI
 Guys, he’s here.

LLUVY
 Who? The Killer?

HEIDI
 Yes, let’s hide.

The 3 run behind some boxes. The Killer walks in. He immediately begins to search everything.

LLUVY
 I think he’s going to find us.

LYNDSEY
 Lluvy, shut up.

Heidi peeks to see nothing.

HEIDI
 Guys, I don’t see him anymore.

LLUVY
 What?

HEIDI
 I said, I don’t...

Wham! The Killer drives the axe down onto the boxes Lluvy was hiding at. She tumbles back.

LYNDSEY
 Run!!

Lyndsey and Heidi run.
Lluvy gets on her feet, as she kicks the Killer. She runs up the stairs.

LLUVY
 Guys, help me!!

The Killer runs up the stairs. Lluvy grabs a computer, and smashes it on his head. It has no effect on him. 

LLUVY
 Ahh!!

Lluvy runs in a hallway.

INT. HALLWAY- NIGHT

She opens, a door, but it’s locked. She tries another. Locked. Another. Open. She goes inside.

INT. ROOM- NIGHT

She hides under the door, so the Killer can’t see her through the opening at the door. The Killer passes her door. Lluvy breathes a sigh of relief. She waits a while, then Wham!! An axe goes through her door.

LLUVY
Ahh!!

The Killer opens the door, and corners Lluvy. 

LLUVY
 Please don’t kill me. Please. I didn’t even want to go into your house. Please. I’m sorry.

The Killer raises his axe.
Lluvy kicks him in his private. The Killer does nothing.

LLUVY
 What the fuck?

Lluvy runs past him.

INT. HALLWAY- NIGHT

She starts to run through the halls. No sign of the Killer.
She makes her way down the stairs, as the Killer pops out behind her, and grabs her hair, and pulls it back.

The Killer tosses her over the stairs. Lluvy screams as she hits the floor, head first. Her neck crackles. Blood begins to pour from her body.

INT. ROOM- NIGHT

Lyndsey and Heidi are panting from running.

LYNDSEY
 I can’t believe we left Lluvy.

HEIDI
 We had no chance saving her.

LYNDSEY
 But still. We could’ve at least tried.

HEIDI
 Lyndsey, stop whining and let’s think of a plan.

LYNDSEY
 Your right. Do you have any ideas?

HEIDI
 Umm....

She looks at a wire plugged, and a large bottle of water.

HEIDI
I think I got an idea.

LYNDSEY 
What?

Heidi grabs the bottle, opens the cap, and pours it on the floor.

LYNDSEY
 What are you doing?

HEIDI
 We can electrocute him. (Pointing) See that plug. When that cannibal comes, you distract him and move him on the water, and I’ll electrocute him with the broken wire. Got it?

LYNDSEY
 Sure.

The Killer bursts in.

HEIDI
 Lyndsey, behind you!

Lyndsey turns around to see the Killer punch him in the face. Lyndsey tumbles back on the water.

HEIDI
 Oh, no!

The Killer inches toward Heidi. He nails the axe on her, but barely misses.
Heidi runs to a corner, trying to look for a weapon, but finds nothing. The Killer raises his axe, and is about to launch it at Heidi, when Lindsey jumps on his back, kicking and punching him.
The Killer falls onto the water. Lyndsey gets up from underneath him.

LYNDSEY
 Heidi, now!

Heidi grabs the wire and touches the water. 

HEIDI
 Die, you bastard.

Heidi touches the water with the broken wire, and smoke flares out of the water, and electrocutes the Killer, making him twitch.
Heidi drops the water, and Lyndsey and her hug.

INT.HALLWAY- DAY

A day later...
The woman that was seen driving the car, is walking through the hallway.

INT. ROOM- DAY

She opens the room to find the Killer lying on the puddle.

WOMAN
 What the hell?

She walks next to the Killer, looking down at him.
The Killer’s hand grabs firmly on the woman’s ankle, making her scream.
