CHARACTERS

VICTOR (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) scruffy looking, builder type. Generally unshaven and thinks constantly with his other head. The type of guy that is up for anything and everything.

HEATHER (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) curly haired and more of a trophy girlfriend then anything else. Rebelious and somewhat demanding. PARTIAL NUDITY REQUIRED.

ALICE (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) flame haired, she's the “good girl” but there’s a sweet kind of rebellious nature hidden inside of her that flares up every now and then. Of all of them she is the most sympathetic, motherly even, always looking out for the others. 

JACK (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) blond with a solid build, a wise ass with an even wiser girlfriend. He’s sarcastic to everyone including his girlfriend but in a loving, none hurtful way. He loves his girl more than anything else. Is less than fond of Neddy who he is constantly bickering with. A joker. PARTIAL NUDITY REQUIRED.

MARCIE (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) classically beautiful, dark raven hair, she’s not the type of girl you would expect to work on a camp, but like everything else with this girl, looks are deceiving. Just as sarcastic as her boyfriend Jack but that doesn’t mean she loves him any less.

NEDDY (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) tall and kinda lanky for his age. He definitely looks like the type of guy you would suspect of being a virgin. Despises his cousin Marcie’s boyfriend with a passion.

ANNIE (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) The goof, not ugly by far but isn’t exactly the first girl you would look at. All her life she has been the odd one out, the one no one gives attention too. At Crystal Lake this will be no exception.

BRENDA (18-20’s to play mid 20’s)  Sex vixen all the way. Blond hair and a body to die for, she knows she’s gorgeous and uses it to get the men she wants and even the one's she doesn't. FULL NUDITY REQUIRED.

BILL (18-20’s to play mid 20’s) Solid looking, with chiselled looks and a tan that has browned to perfection, however he is not all about his looks. There’s a sweet, caring guy under all his mascultinity.  Both Alice and Brenda will be after this guy.

STEVE CHRISTIE ( to play late 20’s) The eldest of the group, sandy haired, unshaven and strong looking. The hard worker of the lot. He's the type of guy who takes control of the situation, a born leader.

PAMELA VOORHEES (late 20's to late 30's to play late 30's) A strong actress who will be able to show the vulnerablity of a mother as well as a complete change when she becomes a vengeful psychopath.

WIFE (mid 20’s to 30’s to play early 30’s) Fluffy haired with a doe eyed look to her. Totally in love with her husband.

HUSBAND (mid 20’s to 30’s to play mid 30’s) Beared with hair cut short .Beefy would be the best word to describe him.

DOCTOR (late 30’s to late 40’s to play mid 40’s) An ageing man who’s job is wearing as thin on him as his hair.

MAIN TITLE
FRIDAY THE 13TH

FADE IN:

EXT. VOORHEES HOME – NIGHT

A two storey home built in the middle of the woods. The house has been ravaged by nature, rain, wind and heat. Doors rusted, screens torn. It is the epitome of a spook house.

The trees around the home are dying or long dead, the ground scattered with brown leaves that have long since fallen. The grass overgrown and burnt from the sun.

LIGHT cuts the darkness.

Whispers are heard. Movement. Leaves crackle under unseen weight.

The LIGHT darts about back and forth.

TWO SILHOUETTES enter frame. A MALE and a FEMALE seen only from behind.

They giggle nervously.

The LIGHT beams from a FLASHLIGHT in the FEMALE’S HAND which leads them to the creaky front porch steps of the old home.

INT. FOYUER – VOORHEES HOME

CLOSE UP on the doorknob, it turns, turns, turns nothing. A pause. The knob turns erratically. THUD! THUS! THUD! Something beats against the door…

FEMALE VOICE (OS)
You’re making too much noise.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

MALE VOICE (os)
Are you kidding, who’s going to hear us out here?

THUD! THUD! BAM!

The door bursts open.

VICTOR MINER, caught off guard, stumbles into the house. HEATHER KING walks in laughing.

HEATHER
You’re such a tool.

VICTOR
Screw you.

HEATHER
That’s the plan.

Heather shines the light around the room, she’s bemused by the home. There’s furniture still in place coated in a layer of dust.

Victor closes the door.

HEATHER
This is so cool.

VICTOR
I still can’t believe you talked me into this shit!

HEATHER
Like you couldn’t do with the money?

Heather walks the room. Inspecting anything and everything, her curiosity overwhelming. 

HEATHER
Just think this is where the little fucker grew up. Jason Voorhees.

VICTOR
You’re all charm Heather.

HEATHER
I know.

Victor walks over to the staircase; he looks up as if expecting to see someone looking down at him.

VICTOR
This place used to give me the creeps as a kid…. Still does. I remember hearing the news about the murders on the radio, there were police everywhere. She killed nine people didn’t she?

HEATHER (OS)
No, she slaughtered them.

VICTOR
Just shows you how a far a mother will go for her child.

HEATHER (OS)
You know you sure do talk a lot for someone who should be fucking me right now.

Victor turns to see Heather propped up on a table, breasts exposed, jeans slightly unbuttoned, legs parted just enough to tease.

Victor smiles, nothing else matters but this naked beauty right now.

HEATHER
So you wanna come over here and help me win the bet so we can get the fuck out of this place.

VICTOR
Totally.

He crosses to her ripping off his shirt. Heather wraps her legs around his waist, there kiss deep and passionate, almost consuming one another.

His HANDS move to her breasts, soft, perky. She moans a little. 

His LIPS move to her neck, biting, teasing her flesh with the flick of his tongue.

They kiss again, lustfully this time.

Her hands go for his manhood, rubbing him. 

Eventually it’s all too much, her hands tears at his pants, undoing his belt and pushes down his jeans exposing his buttocks.

In one move, Victor pulls her off the table. He turns her around, kissing her, cradling her body against his as he undoes her pants enough for him to slide his hand inside.

She lets out another moan.

It continues for a moment before he pushes her pants down around her ankles.

Her hands on the table in front of her as he enters her. Both gasping.

EXT. BACK OF HOUSE

POV: from behind a tree. SOMEONE watches the couple have sex through a bare window. The FIGURE moves towards the window.

HEATHER (OS)
Fuck me harder. Harder!

INT. VOORHEES HOME

Victor does as instructed, the table jutting about with every thrust. The both of them completely wrapped in the moment, so much so they don’t notice the blurry image of SOMEONE watching them.

EXT. BACK OF HOUSE

The FIGURE continues to watch them.

HEATHER (OS)
Faster, faster… I’m gonna cum!

VICTOR (OS)
Oh fuck yeah.

HEATHER (OS)
Fuck me. Fuck me! Oh god.

The FIGURE walks off as the couple climax aided by the occasional “Oh my god” “I’m cumming” “Oh yes”.

INT. VOORHEES HOUSE

Heather lies sprawled out on the table, Victor has collapsed on top of her. Both of them out of breath.

HEATHER
Best one hundred bucks, I’ve ever made.

VICTOR
Totally.

Victor pulls himself off her and pulls up his pants, Heather does the same, lying on the table to do so.

HEATHER
Hand me a cigarette.

VICTOR
I would love to baby but no
(off her face)
 I left them in the car.

HEATHER
What? Why?

VICTOR
Didn’t think we would need them.

HEATHER
You know I always have a cigarette afterwards.

VICTOR
Smoking kills you know!

HEATHER
So do pissed off girlfriends.
(beat)
Can you go get me one?

VICTOR
Aren’t we going?

HEATHER
Well I was hoping for another round once little Victor is up for it.

VICTOR
Little now?

HEATHER
(slight sarcasm)
Relax, it’s the biggest I’ve ever scene… You’re hung like a horse, I’m surprised you have been able to fuck me with it without tearing me up… now I really need a smoke.

VICTOR
(unimpressed)
Yeah. Yeah.

He slides his shoes on as well as a singlet.

VICTOR
You going to be OK by yourself?

HEATHER
I’ll be fine, you’ll be what five minutes max? And besides any psycho tries to pull anything I’ve got this.
(lifts up the flashlight)

VICTOR
That’s my violent girl.

She smiles like a Cheshire cat.

VICTOR
Be back before you know it.

HEATHER
I’m counting on it.

She watches him head to the door when he stops suddenly, checks his watch and looks back to her...

VICTOR
It's twelve fifteen.... happy Friday the 13th baby.

Heather rolls her eyes. Victor exits frame. 

HEATHER
Friday the 13th... happy birthday Jason.

Staring the ceiling counting the cracks she can see.

CREEAAK!

She sits up!

Eyes to the front door, wide open, Victor nowhere in sight.

CREEAAAK!

Eyes wide and alert.

HEATHER
Victor? Victor is that you?
(pause)
Hello? You better not be pulling that horror movie bullshit on me. It's not gonna work!

Her FINGER curl around the flashlight.

CREEAAAK!

HEATHER
Victor?

CREEAAAK! CRACK!

Heather feels a jolt from underneath her, a split second later the table COLLAPSES.

Hitting the floor, the impact sprawls Heather over the floor. She coughs up a cloud of dust and looking over to the broken pieces of timber that was once a table.

HEATHER
Jesus!

Heather picks herself up, dusts herself off as she looks for her top. She notices it underneath the rubble.

HEATHER
Just great!

She slowly shifts through the wood, occasionally stabbing herself with a splinter or a piece of wood falling onto her foot.

HEATHER
Ow, dammit!

BEHIND HER a DOOR moves, opening slightly. 

Her back to the door, Heather continues to dig for her top. 

The door continues to open… Wider. Wider. Wider.

She senses something behind her, she turns just in time to watch, and let out a short shriek as the door falls from its hinges and HITS the floor.

A cloud of DUST covers her.

Heather coughs insanely, waving her hand about as she stumbles away from the dust.

HEATHER
Stupid fucking house!

OUTSIDE A MAN SCREAMS!!

Heather turns sharply to the door.

HEATHER
Victor? VICTOR!

Heather bolts to for the front door.

EXT. PORCH – VOORHEES HOUSE

Heather stops on reaching the porch, hands vainly trying to his her breasts as she searches the dark for her boyfriend.

HEATHER
VICTOR?

NO ANSWER.

HEATHER
VICTOR ANSWER ME!

She inches towards the porch steps.

MOVEMENT behind some trees, her eyes glued to them as VICTOR BURSTS OUT THROUGH THEM.

His EYES are wide with horror, a superficial cut along his chest that has sprinkled his singlet with blood.

HEATHER
What the fuck?

Victor’s leg is ripped out from under him, he hits the ground HARD. His eyes lock on Heather’s a second before he is pulled back into the woods.

HEATHER
VICTOR!

Heather charges after him, her feet almost moving too fast for her as she tears into the woods.

INT. WOODS

Heather follows Victor’s cries, turning sharply every now and then. She jumps over an upturned tree.

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS

Victor is dragged through the woods, his arms flaying about wildly trying to grab hold of something, anything that will prevent him from being dragged to what is his inevitable death.

INT. WOODS

Heather is lost and confused; she has no idea where she is just that she has to find Victor.

HEATHER
VICTOR! VICTOR!

His cries continue until abruptly…. They stop!

Heather pause in her tracks, listening. The tears come; she knows exactly what has happened.

HEATHER
(to herself)
Victor?

She turns around, surrounded by woods. Where is she?

HEATHER
Shit.

SNAP! CRACK!

Her heart stops. Every sense on high alert.

She takes a step back, ready to run if need be. Eyes searching.

She looks up and sees the MOON bearing down on her, almost like a spotlight.

A RUSTLING SOUND!

Heather turns sharply – RAM – right into a tree. She pushes off it, turns back. NOTHING.

FROM THE SIDE: SOMETHING lunges at her from out of the shadows, a HULKING FIGURE hidden behind the darkness.

Heather SCREAMS and takes off running, pushes through stray branches and overgrown bushes until she comes face to face with  

VICTOR 

pinned to a tree, a MACHETE protruding from his opened mouth. The body still twitching as the blood slowly covers it.

Heather lets rip with an almighty SCREAM.

She turns back to see

A 6ft MOUNTAIN OF A MAN. 

JASON VOORHEES IS STANDING THERE!

Eyes glaring through the sockets of the infamous hockey mask. 

He lunges for her, Heather screams again, ducks his massive arms but loses her balance and crashes to the ground.

It’s the perfect moment for Jason.

Heather rolls onto her front, attempts to get back up. Jason knocks her back down.

HEATHER
SOMEBODY HELP ME!

She reaches out, clawing at the ground.

Jason grabs hold of her LEFT LEG. Then her RIGHT LEG with his other hand.

HEATHER
SOMEBODY PLEASE!

What happens next is quick and jarring.

In one move Jason lifts the girl up into the air and slams her, back first, against a tree.

Her spine SNAPS! as her body wraps around the thick trunk and then collapses to the ground.

Jason stands over his victory, from the torso up Heather, dead eyes look up at the moon, faces up while her lower front half has twisted around and remains pressed against the dirt her buttocks pointing to the sky.

SMASH CUT TO BLACK!

FRIDAY THE 13TH

FADE IN:

6. EXT. HIGHWAY – DAYS LATER

A STATION WAGON tears up the concrete road, zig zagging past car after car as if the driver was in a rush to reach their destination.

7.	INT. STATION WAGON

Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult is playing on the radio.

JACK is behind the wheel, a cigarette dripping from his lips. 

GIRL (OS)
You keep driving like this and we’re going to make it to the camp in body bags.

JACK
Relax; I know what I’m doing.

A HAND reaches out, snatches the cigarette and brings it to a set of red tinted lips. MARCIE rides shotgun her hair wiping though the air.

MARCIE
Isn’t that exactly what you said last year when you totalled your father’s car?

JACK
That was different.

MARCIE
How?

JACK
Not sure, just was.

MARCIE
Oh god, Alice we’re as good as dead, you might as well say your prayers now.

JACKS POV: of ALICE in the backseat.

ALICE
I’ve been praying ever since I found out I was coming out here.

MARCIE
It’s not that bad.

ALICE
I still can’t believe I agreed to come out here!

JACK
It’s because like myself you weren’t asked, you were told!

Jack & Alice both look to Marcie.

MARCIE
Oh calm down, I did us all a favour. You guys know we need the extra money to go to Europe at the end of the year and believe me this is easy money, so stop you’re complaining.

ALICE
I guess.

A beat;

JACK
How did you manage to pull this off anyway?

ALICE
Yeah I thought there was this whole interview process?

MARCIE
What can I say? I’m brilliant.

JACK
And?

MARCIE
And… my cousin Neddy knows the owner, John Christie.

JACK
Thought as much.

ALICE
So I finally get to meet the infamous Neddy?

JACK
(sarcastically)
Yeah lucky you.

MARCIE
Don’t start! Please don't start...
(off his face)
Just try, try and be nice, please, I know its a stretch Jack but for me?

JACK
I haven’t said a thing.
(off Marcie’s look)
Fine, my lips are sealed.

ALICE
What’s wrong with Neddy?

MARCIE
There’s nothing wrong with Neddy, he’s just…

JACK
Weird.

MARCIE
I thought your lips were sealed?

JACK
So did I… guess we were both wrong.

MARCIE
He’s not weird, just quirky.

JACK
Yeah... rain man quirky.

ALICE
You’re not serious?

MARCIE
No he’s not!
(to Jack)
Tell her you’re not.

JACK
But that would be lying dear.

MARCIE
You’re such an ass.

JACK
Yeah but you love my ass!
(to Alice)
She bites it all the time.

MARCIE
Whatever.
(to Alice)
Just ignore him.

JACK
You know you sound like my mother.

MARCIE
She’s a smart woman.

Alice rolls her eyes and looks out of the back window.

ALICE
This is going to be one long summer!

8. EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE ENTRANCE - LATER

The STATION WAGON drives up into the mouth of the entrance as a TOW TRUCK approaches form the opposite direction dragging behind it the CAR Victor and Veronica arrived in.

9. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

The STATION WAGON comes to a stop beside the main cabin. Alice and Marcie climb out, stretching their legs.

MARCIE
Isn’t it beautiful?

ALICE
It actually is.

Jack approaches behind Marcie.

JACK
I’ve seen better.

MARCIE
(sarcastically)
Of course you have.

MAN (OS)
Marcie?

Marcie looks up to see NEDDY approaching them.

MARCIE
Neddy?

NEDDY
Marcie!

JACK
(re: Neddy)
Told you.... weird.

Alice rolls her eyes and ignores him.

She runs over and hugs him.

MARCIE
I haven’t seen you in ages.

NEDDY
I know, I know… you look good.

MARCIE
So do you.

Neddy notices Jack and Alice.

NEDDY
(re:Jack)
I see you still haven’t raised your standards.

MARCIE
Neddy!

He raises his hands in surrender.

NEDDY
My bad.

Marcie ushers Neddy over to Jack and Alice. Jack and Neddy acknowledge each other with obvious hostility.

NEDDY
Jack.

JACK
Nedwen.

MARCIE
Alice, this is my cousin Neddy. Neddy, Alice.

NEDDY
Nice to meet you.

ALICE
Likewise.

Alice digs into her bag and pulls out a cell phone.

NEDDY
Don’t bother, there’s no coverage out here.

ALICE
You’re kidding?

NEDDY
Afraid not.  You’re in for a real back to basics summer.

JACK
So does this mean that you’re going  to actually and have sex instead of relying on those one eight hundred numbers?

MARCIE
Jack!

NEDDY
(ignoring him)
If you need a phone, there’s one in the office.

JACK
And luck strikes again doesn't it Neddy?

MARCIE
Dammit Jack.

JACK
What did I do?

MARCIE
I’m not going to spend my time here, refereeing the two of you. You will both either accept the fact that we are going to be together for some time and try and be civil opne another or you can just accept the fact you both can’t get along and keep your comments to yourselves.

MAN (OS)
Now that’s a born counsellor.

The group turns as…

An AXE flashes into frame.

PULL BACK to reveal STEVE CHRISTY chopping wood. He hacks into the wood one last time and leaves it stuck in the rotting timber as the group head towards him.

NEDDY
This is Steve Christy, he owns the place.

He wipes his hands clean and greets them with a handshake one at a time. Each of them introducing themselves.

STEVE
Well my father John Christie actually owns this place; I’m just looking after the place for him.

MARCIE
So is there anything you'd like us to do?

STEVE
Not much really, just need to set up the archery range… make sure the cabins are set up right for the kids. Where’s Brenda?

NEDDY
Inventory in the arts and crafts room.

STEVE
And Bill?

NEDDY
Setting up the soft ball field.

Steve nods, mentally going his check list.

ALICE
When are you expecting the kids to arrive?

STEVE
Day after tomorrow which is good because it gives us a whole day to go over the safety procedures as well as the kids itinerary.
(pause)
Other than that, we just need to stock up on wood and I’ll need someone to go into town and get some fuel for the generator.

NEDDY
I’ll go, I’m probably the only one who knows how to get there.

MARCIE
I’ll come with, give us a chance to catch up.

NEDDY
Sounds like a plan.

Steve hands over the keys to the VAN.

NEDDY
Anyone need anything?

Everyone other than Jack, shakes their heads or say “no”.
Marcie walks up to her boyfriend.

MARCIE
You need anything?

JACK
Can you get me smokes?

MARCIE
Will do.

JACK
Oh and maybe, some, you know…

MARCIE
(hushed)
Condoms?

JACK
Yeah.

MARCIE
Already stocked up.
(winks)

JACK
That’s my girl.

She giggles and follows Neddy over to the VAN.

STEVE
Hey, actually there is something you two can do for me. But first I wanna show you both were we keep the generator in case of emergencies.

10. EXT. EDGE OF LAKE – MOMENTS LATER

Jack and Alice are struggling with the floats. Ad-libbing as appropriate (“There goes my back” “You’re not pulling enough” “Are you coming onto me?” “You’re going too fast”)

MAN (OS)
You guys need a hand?

Alice looks up to see BILL, without a shirt his rippling muscles exposed and covered in sweat. Her jaw drops.

JACK
You’re a life saver, man.

BILL
Think nothing of it.

They pull the float into position.

After they recuperate, Bill stretches out his hand.

BILL
Names Bill.

Jack shakes it.

JACK
Jack, and this is Alice.

BILL
Hi Alice.

ALICE
(meekly)
Hi.

BILL
You guys just get here?

JACK
Yeah, you?

BILL
Nah, been here since yesterday. Place is looking good don’t ya think?

ALICE
(re: Bill)
Real good.

Bill doesn’t notice Alice gawking at his body but Jack does, he laughs to himself.

JACK
So you been a counsellor before?

BILL
Couple of times, I’m still getting the hang of it though. What about you guys?

JACK
Virgins.

ALICE
Jack!

JACK
I'm talking about being counsellors.

ALICE
(awkwardly)
I knew that.

Bill smirks to himself, something in his eyes... he's taken by her. She shies away.

11. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA – MINUTES LATER

Bill, Alice and Jack are heading back up from the lake laughing and chatting amongst themselves as BRENDA exits from the ARTS& CRAFTS CABIN carrying a checklist.

BRENDA
Hey Bill.

BILL
Brenda.

BRENDA
Finally finished in there, who knew we had so much stuff in that little bitty cabin.
(laughs)

BILL
Brenda, this is Jack and Alice.

BRENDA
Nice to meet you.

ALICE
Likewise.

BRENDA
SO what's Major Christie got you all doing?

JACK
Bill was just giving us a hand with the floats.

BRENDA
Well aren't you just handy to have around?

BILL
You know me, always willing to lend a hand.

BRENDA
I'll keep that in mind.

Alice knows a come on when she sees one and she's isn't too impressed.

CRASH! BANG!

JACK
What was that?

BILL
Sounded like it came from the kitchen.

BRENDA
Annie!

12. INT. KICTHEN

Bill, Alice, Jack and Brenda bursts into frame in front of the food closet ANNIE sits under a pile of boxes on the floor.

BILL
Annie?

BRENDA
Oh Annie.

Everyone quickly rushes over to her. Bill helps the girl up while the others pick up the scattered food items.

BRENDA
What happened?

ANNIE
I was trying to pack the food away, guess I picked up more than I could carry.

BRENDA
(laughs)
You're such a clutz.

ANNIE
So everyone keeps telling me.

BILL
You OK?

ANNIE
Fine other than my bruised bottom.

She looks over and sees Jack and Alice.

ANNIE
And now that I have thoroughly embarrassed myself I think I should introduce myself.
(to Jack & Alice)
I'm Annie, the camp's professional clown.

BILL
She's also the cook.

ANNIE
It's the only thing I actually good at.

BRENDA
Until she manages to burn the place down.

ANNIE
Very funny.

Steve enters.

STEVE
What's going on?
(on seeing Annie)
Oh, never mind.

ANNIE
Yes that's right, I was just letting myself be known.

STEVE
(joking)
You break anything this time?

ANNIE
No!

BRENDA
Just her ass!

13. EXT. GROCERY STORE – CRYSTAL LAKE

The VAN drives up to the petrol pumps. A beat and Marcie and Neddy  get out of the vehicle.

NEDDY
I'll go get the fuel.

MARCIE
OK.

Neddy exits off frame.

Marcie heads into the store.

14. INT. GROCERY STORE

The store is empty except for the attendant standing behind the counter.

Marcie enters. She instantly notices the attendants eyes on her.

MARCIE
Hi.

She moves into an aisles browsing through the goods. Out of the corner of her eye she can see the attendant still watching her.

She smiles nervously and continues down the aisle.

MARCIE
(to herself)
Weirdo.

She turns around...

WHAM!

Straight into RALPH. She gasps and stumbles backwards.

MARCIE
I'm sorry I didn't...

RALPH
You're on of them ain't ya?

MARCIE
One of who?

RALPH
Them kids, opening that damn camp.

MARCIE
Camp Crystal Lake?

RALPH
Camp Blood.
(beat)
Nothing but trouble that place is. It's cursed.

Marcie steps around him.

RALPH
You're doomed if you stay there. Doomed. It's not the same, hasn't been since that boy drowned.

Marcie pauses and turns back to him.

RALPH
Bet ol' Christie didn't tell ya that, did he?

MARCIE
What are you talking about?

RALPH
Boy drowned, coupla years back, no one was watching. Sent his mother crazy for years it did, until on his birthday she went back to the camp… ended up killing all but one of the counsellors before she got killed herself.

ATTENDANT
Dammit Ralph. Miss is he bothering you?

Marcie looks to the attendant, her eyes pleading for help but at the same time lost in complete confusion.

RALPH
Place is cursed, and now so are you.

Marcie heads for the counter, Ralph follows.

RALPH
If you're smart you'll leave now, leave and won't look back. Leave while you still have a chance.

ATTENDANT
Jesus Ralph not that Jason bullshit again.

RALPH
(to attendant)
They're doomed.

Neddy enters as Raplh nears the door. He pauses, looking back right at Neddy and Marcie.

RAPLH
You're all doomed.

And without a further word, Ralph exits.

Marcie is sufficiently shaken.

NEDDY
What was that about?

15. EXT. EDGE OF LAKE – LATER

Alice is sunbaking in a bikini while Annie remains mostly clothed. Brenda slices through the waves and Jack spins through the water on an inflatable tube.

JACK
You should get in guys, the waters great.

ANNIE
I'll pass.

ALICE
Working on my tan.

JACK
Suit yourselves.

Bill crosses over the floats to the girls, sits down with a six pack in his hands.

BILL
(re:beer)
Ladies?

ANNIE
No thanks.

BILL
How about you Alice, can I tempt you?

They smile at one another flirtatiously.

BRENDA
You can tempt me if you like?

Bill looks down to see Brenda swim in between his legs. Bill watches as Alice' smile quickly fades. 

Brenda manoeuvres herself around him and pulls herself out of the water and managing to show off her body at the same time.

She sits down next to him and takes a beer.

JACK
Hey Bill, pass one over.

Bill tosses Jack one, 

SPLASH!

he misses it..

JACK
Shit.

A beat passes and the BEER resurfaces. Smiling like a jackal he picks up the can and opens it.

BRENDA
So Bill, I'm sure it must be real hard being away from your girlfriend while you’re out here in the middle of nowhere.

BILL
It would be, if I had a girlfriend.

BRENDA
So you're single?

BILL
(looking at Alice)
That's right.

BRENDA
So am I. What are the chances?

ANNIE
I thought you had a boyfriend?

BRENDA
What?

ANNIE
That football player, or was he into basketball...

BRENDA
Oh Angie, he wasn't a boyfriend. 

ANNIE
My name is Annie!

BRENDA
(ignoring Annie)
He was a boy and a girl like me needs a man.
(to Bill)
Don't you think?

Bill shifts uncomfortably.

MARCIE (OS)
There you are.

Alice glances over to see Marcie walking over to them.

MARCIE
(continued)
Been looking everywhere for you.

ALICE
What's wrong?

MARCIE
Nothing just had a run in with some loon at the grocery store.

ANNIE
Crazy old Ralph?

MARCIE
Yeah how'd you know?

ANNIE
Ran into him myself when I got here this morning, he's like the official town greeter or something. Started rambling on about me being cursed.

MARCIE
Yeah, he said the same thing to me.

ANNIE
He go on about the boy who drowned and the vengeful mother that ended up six feet under?

MARCIE
Ah huh.

ANNIE
That guy has serious issues.

ALICE
Wait, back up a minute.... what's this about a dead who?

ANNIE
Apparently some kid drowned in the lake or something.

BRENDA
This lake?

ANNIE
Do you see any others?

Each of them look over the beautiful lake, slightly disturbed.

STEVE (OS)
I hear you met Ralph?

They all turn around to see Steve standing at the lake's edge.

POV: from across the lake as someone watches them.

MARCIE
Apparently the locals call this place Camp Blood.

ALICE
You're kidding?

MARCIE
That’s what I heard well as well as the story about the counsellor's that got butchered here.

BRENDA
They what?

STEVE
OK look I didn't want to have to have this talk with you until tomorrow but looks like now is the perfect time.

Steve sits down next to them. They all crowd around him.

ALICE
It's not true is it?

STEVE
Look every place has some kind of history to it.

BRENDA
True, but most places don't have a bodycount to go with it.

STEVE
Ok so where do I start?

JACK
How about we go with the dead kid!

STEVE
It was back when my dad was still hands on with this place. The boy was Jason... Jason Voorhees, he was born with some kind of facial defect.. cleft lip I think...

CUT TO:

•	HOSPITAL NURSERY - Baby JASON VOORHEES in the incubator, his face displaying the effects of the deformity. Pamela and the doctor look down at him from behind a plate glass window.

DOCTOR
the early weeks of development, long before a child is born, the right and left sides of the lip and the roof of the mouth normally grow together. Occasionally, however, in about one of every 800 babies, those sections don't quite meet. Mrs Voorhees, I would strongly recommend surgery…

PAMELA
Absolutely not, so he’s a little different. It makes my boy special nothing more.

DOCTOR
Mrs Voorhees, if left untreated it could cause speech problems, his teeth will not grow normally and then you must take into consideration the boys self image.

PAMELA
My son is beautiful, the lord made him in his image and gave him to me as he is I have no intention of changing the lords work just to conform to your and everyone else’ standards.

STEVE (OS)
... that made him an easy target for some of the kids who  lived here. 

•	JASON VOORHEES (6) walking along the main street of  is attacked by a group of CHILDREN who push and punch the frightened boy. They yell at Jason  “Freak!” “Freak!” “He looks like a rabbit!” “Retard” “Bunny Rabbit want a carrot?” and at one point a CHILD will pull a SACK over the boy’s face. “Try this on for size!” “That’s an improvement”.

•	JASON (6) balled up in the corner of the room, crying to himself. Pamela looks on helplessly. Her heart broken.

•	JASON (7) sits at a table, a big birthday cake in front of him, candles blazing brightly. The room decorated to a tee but the only other attendant is his mother. Jason opens one of the presents a MASK, see thru and baring a striking resemblance to the one worn by Larry in Friday 3.

•	JASON (7) walking about the town wearing the eerie looking mask. A vain attempt to fit in.

STEVE (OS)
Can you imagine being a mother and watching your son slowly falling deeper and deeper into isolation?

•	Pamela watches as JASON (8) adds another mask to his every growing collection which he displays on the wall of his bedroom. Among them is the infamous HOCKEY MASK.

Pamela walks over to Jason. She reaches for his mask…

PAMELA 
You really shouldn’t wear that silly thing.

Jason scurries away from his mother. The pain on her face is enough to break anyone's heart.

STEVE (OS)
The bullying continued...

•	JASON (9) runs around the school yard as two BOYS and a GIRL throw rocks at him while a group of children laugh and point. AT one point a CHILD rips off the mask he is wearing exposing his face to more horror and ridicule. Jason runs out of the school yard chased by the children’s taunts of “Freak” and “Run you fucking freak!”

•	JASON (10) hair down to his shoulders, the see-thru mask covering his face, he makes his way along a road stopping a newly erected sign 
“ CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE – OPENING SOON”

STEVE (OS)
Until one day, it went too far...

•	Jason heads past the trees and eventually ends up emerging on CRYSTAL LAKE. He can see the CHILDREN playing on the other side. He watches form behind a tree. He smiles, one of longing, almost filled with a pain most will never know. A pain of exclusion.

BOY (OS)
Hey retard!

Jason turns to see a group of CHILDREN advancing on him.

BOY 2
This is a no freak zone, freak!

GIRL
Yeah freak, go back to your mommy.

•	Jason tries to run but BOY 1 grabs a hold of him.

BOY 1
Hey I got an idea, let’s see if freaks sink or swim.

The CHILDREN cheer and lift Jason into the air, carry him over to the lake and hurl him into the water. Jason is gasping for air, thrashing about.

•	The CHILDREN laugh and point.

•	The laughter begins to fade as concern takes over. “I think he’s I trouble” “Maybe we should do something?” “No he’s just playing”. Jason disappears under the water.

•	The CHILDREN begin to freak out “What do we do?” “We should get someone” “No, no we have to get out of here” “Yeah, before someone sees us!” “Shit, the counsellors”. The CHILDREN take off.

STEVE (OS)
 Only thing was Jason couldn't swim.

BRENDA (OS)
And he drowned.

STEVE (OS)
No...

•	A FIGURE dives into the water, surfacing moments later is Pamela Voorhees holding her son in her arms. She lies him down on the shore and does CPR as several counsellors advance, among them is ADRIENNE MILLER.

•	Pamela is still performing CPR.

PAMELA
(at the counsellors)
What the hell were you doing? Weren’t you watching? Those brats, bastard children. You should have been watching!

ADRIENNE
Please we didn’t know!

PAMELA
You should have known, those children.. all of you nothing but contempt for my boy.

Jason comes too spitting out a mouthful of water, a moment later the boy is in tears. Pamela cradles the boy.

Pamela looks to the counsellors, eyes burning with rage.

PAMELA
It’s not his fault, but none of you care, you just see the deformity, you don’t see the boy he is. You don’t care… he’s been through enough… we both have… and we just keep taking it like idiots…

She picks up her son and walk back into the woods towards their home.

PAMELA
… not anymore.

ALICE (OS)
So what happened?

STEVE (OS)
This is where the bit about the dead counsellors come in.

•	CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE – NIGHT. It’s utter chaos as CHILDREN scatter the grounds, screaming and crying, as they head for the woods. Adrienne bursts out of a cabin, bloodied and bruised, chased by Pamela who wields a MACHETE.

•	FLASHES of dead counsellors, some in bed, some hanging from trees, some in pieces. 7 bodies in total.

•	Adrienne and Pamela fight it out on the shore of the lake. At one point Pamela lashes at out Adrienne, missing her entirely but giving Adrienne the opportunity to drive her kitchen knife into the woman’s stomach.

•	Pamela falls to her knees, drops the machete which Adrienne quickly scoops.

PAMELA
Jason.

Adrienne swings the blade and slices into the mother’s neck. Pamela goes rigid, crimson covering her clothes.

Adrienne rips the blade out, Pamela falls onto her knees into the perfect executioner’s position. Adrienne swings again this time severing the head completely.

MARCIE (OS)
She killed her?

STEVE (OS)
That's right... they also say Jason saw the whole thing.

•	PAMELA'S HEAD hits the ground, bounces once and rolls away as the body follows. The last thing to fall is the MACHETE with a heavy THUD!

•	JASON’S POV: behind the trees of Adrienne walking away from his mother’s body.

STEVE (OS)
That's when Jason decided to take his revenge.

•	FEET walk up to Pamela. A HAND reaches down to pick up the machete. PULL BACK to REVEAL JASON wearing the see-thru mask. He turns to look to the direction Adrienne headed. This is the first time we hear the famous Ki he he Ma ha ha.

•	Adrienne stumbles through the woods, disorientated. She hears a noise behind her, she turns there’s nothing there. Turning back she sees Jason standing there. She doesn’t recognise him.

ADRIENNE
Help me!

Exhausted Adrienne falls to her knees. Jason walks over to her, machete hidden behind his back. He stops just short of her.

ADRIENNE
Please I need help!

Jason cocks his head to one side.

Adrienne realises who the boy is.

ADRIENNE
Jason?

IN A FLASH: Jason slashes the front of her chest. Adrienne screams, falling back from the blow. He slashes her again as she rolls onto her front and continues to crawl away from him.

Jason unleashes his rage onto the poor girls back, blood seeping through the wounds, crawling… crawling… crawling until she gives up and collapses to the dirt ground.

Jason standing over her.

POLICE SIRENS! Jason looks back towards the direction their coming from and disappears into the woods.

ALICE (OS)
He killed her to avenge his mother.

STEVE (OS)
Almost. 

•	Adrienne is lying face down on the ground when she slowly begins to move again, lifting her tear stained face out of the dirt.

STEVE (OS)
She survived... barely but she was never the same again... ended up in some loony bin. 

JACK (OS)
What happened to Jason?

STEVE (OS)
Vanished, he was never seen again... along with his mother's head which he keeps t remind him of what us bad counsellor's did. The locals say now that Jason stands watch over the camp grounds threatening to kill any counsellor that sets foor on his land.

CUT TO:

BACK TO CRYSTAL LAKE - PRESENT

ALICE
That's creepy.

STEVE
Maybe, but it's a story guys, nothing more then an urban legend. Jason drowned, his mother left this place shortly after.
(beat)
Now enough about ancient history, I need a swim.

Steve dives into the water, everyone but Alice erupts in a roar as they slowly go back to enjoying themselves.

Alice gets up and walks back to her cabin.

Bill watches attentively.

16. INT. GIRL'S CABIN – LATER

Alice enters, she walks over to the dresser, grabs her toiltries and a towel before pulling her hair back into a tight ponytail.

Her eyes aren't focused on anything in particular, wondeirng aimlessly through the room. She looks to the window and pauses, SOMETHING or SOMEONE is in the woods.

She takes a few steps backwards...

KNOCK! KNOCK! 

She turns to see Bill.

BILL
Hey you OK?

ALICE
Bill there's someone out there.

Bill is quick to her side.

BILL'S POV: of the woods. There's no one out there.

BILL
I don't see anything. You sure you saw something?

She shrugs.

ALICE
Guess not, my eyes playing tricks on me.

BILL
Maybe that ghost story just got to ya a bit?

ALICE
Most probably.

BILL
(off her face)
Alice, are you OK?

ALICE
Fine, Fine. I guess I'm just far too sensitive.
(forces a laugh)

BILL
That's not a bad thing.

ALICE
I guess its how you look at it.

An uncomfortable beat,

BILL
So I've noticed, that... well we haven't really had a chance to talk, just you and me. I kinda figured I should change that.

ALICE
Oh.

BILL
Unless you'd rather not?

ALICE
No, talking's good.

They both laugh.

He sits down on one of the beds, she joins him.

17. EXT. LAKE

Brenda is still swimming around in the water. Marcie has now joined Jack on the tube, sitting on his lap the couple are affectionately wrapped up in one another.

BRENDA
Hey Abby, you should come in the water’s great.

NEDDY
Yeah come on Abby.

With a hint of jealousy in her eye, Annie gets up, watching as Neddy and Steve circle around Brenda giving her their full attention and she's playing on it, she walks off as she lights up a cigarette.

18. INT. WOODS – CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE

Annie enters frame, puffing away like a crazy person.

ANNIE
Jesus Annie get real, what did you expect would happen with her around. Good old perfect body, perky tits, legs spread wide Brenda. God I'm an idiot.

In her state, she's not even worrying about where she is going she just wants to get away. Annie gets deeper and deeper into the woods.

After a while, she stops. Turns. Annie looks to the left, to the right. Nothing? Where's the camp?

ANNIE
Oh great, now I get myself lost.

POV: Someone watching her. IT moves...

SNAP! CRACK! 

Annie's head snaps towards the sound, right at the POV. She can't see anyone.

ANNIE
Hello?

19. EXT. EDGE OF LAKE – MINUTES LATER

Marcie looks up at the sky. The gray clouds foreboding as if a warning of the dark events yet to come.

The others have begun to notice. Neddy is already dragging himself out of the lake while Brenda and Steve swim over to the floats.

MARCIE
Looks like we're in for a storm tonight.

JACK
Looks that way.

NEDDY
Maybe we should start heading inside?

BRENDA
Sounds like an idea.

20. EXT. MAIN CAMP AREA – SECONDS LATER

Steve and Brenda head up towards the camp.

RING! RING!

STEVE
That's the office.

He runs over to the small cabin with the word OFFICE marked on the door.

Brenda turns back and looks around to the others, Neddy slowly heading towards her while Marcie fooling around with Jack on the edge of the lake next to a row of canoes.

A noise BEHIND HER. Brenda turns to see Steve emerging from the office.

BRENDA
Who was that?

STEVE
Shelley.

BRENDA
The other counsellor?

STEVE
Yeah I told her to call me once she got to Crystal Lake and I'd pick her up.
(beat)
Guess I should get out of the wet clothes before I head off.

BRENDA
Want a hand?

STEVE
Boy do I ever, but how about we wait till I get back? I do better when not under pressure.

BRENDA
Sounds like a plan.

He smiles toothfully before heading over to the BOY'S CABIN.

21. INT. GIRL'S CABIN

Alice and Bill are still on the bed together having a great time.

BILL
There's no way.

ALICE
I'm totally serious.

They both erupt with laughter.

BILL
That's gold.

ALICE
I know, I know.

She quickly pulls herself together.

BILL
So.

ALICE
Soooo?

BILL
You got a boyfriend Alice.

ALICE
Why do you ask?

BILL
Curiosity.

ALICE
Curiosity can be a dangerous thing.

BILL
Very dangerous, but always fun.

She looks towards the cabin door and catches a glimpse of Brenda walking past.

Alice turns to him.

ALICE
Brenda's single.

BILL
That wasn't my question.

ALICE
Brenda really likes you.

BILL
Good for Brenda.

ALICE
You're not interested in her?

BILL
No.

ALICE
Why not? She's pretty, a decent body.. I mean it's not the best but it’s up there.

BILL
She's not my type.

ALICE
Really?

She crawls back into the bed, laying on her stomach facing him.

BILL
Really.

ALICE
And what is your type?

BILL
You know I do believe you still haven't answered my question.

ALICE
That's been and gone, besides my question is way more interesting.

BILL
Why is that?

ALICE
Because I don' have to answer it.
(beat)
So....?

BILL
So?

ALICE
Are you going to answer my question?

BILL
Are you going to answer mine?

ALICE
Depends on how you answer yours.

A long stand off-ish beat,

BILL
You're my type.

ALICE
(nervously flattered)
I am?

BILL
Yes.

ALICE
Interesting.

BILL
Now do I get an answer?

ALICE
You do.

She leans over and kisses him.

She pulls away laughing.

BILL
What's so funny?

ALICE
I can't believe I just did that.

BILL
Guess nature agrees with you.

ALICE
Guess it does.

MARCIE (OS)
Well, well, well. What do we have here?

They look over to see Marcie standing in the doorway.

MARCIE
You know there's a rule about their being boys in the girl's cabin.

BILL
Lucky then, no boys in here.

ALICE
Where's Jack?

MARCIE
Inside, he got a sudden burst to play cards. So he's inside seeing if he can find any.

BILL
Might go give him a hand.
(beat)
I'll see you later?

ALICE
Definitely.

He smiles and races out of the cabin.

MARCIE
OK spill!

ALICE
(lying badly)
What? Nothing to spill.

MARCIE
Alice don't make me hit you!

Alice laughs.

22. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA – NEAR DARK

Lightening TEARS UP THE SKY. Blanketing the camp site in an eerie glow which reflects sharply off the water.

Steve jogs out of the boy's cabin and into the VAN which he starts and then drives off.

23. INT. MAIN CABIN

Marcie, Jack, Brenda and Neddy sit around the table playing poker while Alice tends to the fire.

Bill enters while lighting a cigarette.

BILL
Where's Steve going?

BRENDA
He has to go pick up the last counsellor, Shelley I think her name was.

He sits down at the table and is dealt into the game. 

Alice turns back to the group, she notices someone is missing.

ALICE
Has anyone seen Annie?

JACK
Not lately.

MARCIE
The last time I saw her was at the lake with us.

BRENDA
And what a sight that was.

24. EXT. ROAD – MINUTES LATER

The VAN drives along the road and comes to a stop. Bill jumps out of the vehicle and walks over to a large TREE TRUNCK which seems to have fallen out of the sky and landed dead centre of the road.

STEVE
Great!

He looks to either side of it, there's no way around the tree.

He turns around...

WHACK!

A FLASH of SILVER. An eruption of CRIMSON.

Steve stumbles backwards up against the tree; he looks up to see JASON standing there.

LIGHTENING STRIKES!

Jason's raises the machete again.

Steve rolls onto his front, a desperate move to escape which fails. The THICK BLADE comes down the centre of his back.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

Jason stops.

Steve's body lies twitching in the tree. Gasping for air through mouthful's of blood.

Jason reaches over, grabs Steve by the hair and pulls him up.

The MACHETTE is brought up into the air. Then DOWN in one swift move severing Steve's head.

Jason raises the HEAD up to eye level, Steve's eyes frozen in fear his mouth gaped open.

Jason looks backwards towards the camp.

25. INT. MAIN CABIN – SAME

THUNDER rumbles the windows.

Alice is sitting, curled up in a ball on the sofa drinking coffee. Her face says it all; she's starting to get worried.

She gets up and heads for the door.

MARCIE
Where are you going?

ALICE
Just going to check on Annie.

JACK
Annie's fine Alice, where in the middle of nowhere.

MARCIE
Jack's right, I mean think about, what could happen out here?

BRENDA
Maybe Jason's got her.

BILL
Brenda!

BRENDA
It's plausible; some deformed man boy may be having his beastly way with her. I say leave the lovebirds be... probably be the only action she'll ever see anyway.

ALICE
That's not funny.

BRENDA
Maybe that's because it wasn't a joke?

Alice rolls her eyes and exits.

26. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA - DARK

Alice makes her way through the dark grounds; she can see the girl's cabin just up ahead but right now it looks so very far away.

She turns back to the main cabin, the lights on, it's the only place that doesn't invoke fear. Alice presses on.

27. INT. GIRL'S CABIN

The door opens Alice steps inside and turns on the lights.

ALICE
Annie?

The cabin is empty.

MARCIE (OS)
Anything?

Alice leaps out of her skin. She turns to see her friend in the doorway.

ALICE
Marcie you scared me!

MARCIE
Sorry. 
(beat)

So she's not here?

ALICE
No.
(beat)
What if something's happened to her?

MARCIE
Alice don't.

ALICE
It's dark Marcie and no one has seen her in hours.

MARCIE
Just relax, she's probaly around wanting some alone time. 

28. INT. MAIN CABIN

Jack gets up and walks into the kitchen, while Neddy continues to sort his cards.

Brenda gets up and moves closer to Bill.

BRENDA
Hey there.

He smiles meekily.

BRENDA
So you know what I've been thinking?

BILL
No clue.

BRENDA
I was thinking about going for a swim.

BILL
We just went for a swim earlier today.

BRENDA
Yeah but there's something about swimming naked in the dark which I find kinda irresistible.

BILL
I'll bet.

BRENDA
Care to join me?

BILL
I don't think I should, just ate, and you know what they say, no swimming on a full stomach.

BRENDA
Hmmm you're a big boy. I'm sue you can handle it.
(beat)
Well how about this, I'll go ahead and get started and you can join me in a couple of minutes when your food goes down. How's that sound?

BILL
Sounds like it's gonna rain.

BRENDA
Haven't you ever wanted to do it in the rain?

BILL
Don't tell me you already haven't.

BRENDA
(laughs)
You got me there.
(beat)
So you'll meet me?

Bill eyes Neddy then back to Brenda.

BILL
Ah huh.

BRENDA
Great, I'll see you soon Bill.

Brenda quickly exits.

NEDDY
You're not really going to meet up with her are you?

BILL
Hell no, but at least now she's out of my hair.

The guys laugh.

Jack enters frame.

JACK
What did I miss?

29. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Brenda starts down towards the lake.

In the B.G. Alice and Marcie can be seen searching the camp site.

MORE THUNDER. Louder this time, roaring through the camp site.

30. INT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Neddy sits up to attention on hearing it.

NEDDY
Jesus.

JACK
Sounds like it's really gonna come down.

NEDDY
Oh shit.

JACK
What's wrong?

NEDDY
I left the window in my cabin open.

He gets up and starts for the door.

NEDDY
Last thing I need is a flood in there.

Jack and Bill laugh.

31. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Neddy quickly rushes to the boy's cabin he disappears inside as Marcie and Alice head back to the main cabin. 

As they reach the door JASON walks into the boy's cabin.

32. INT. MAIN CABIN

Jack and Bill are still playing cards.

Marcie and Alice enter.

JACK
Any luck?

MARCIE
Nothing.

ALICE
We looked all over.

BILL
Maybe she went for a walk?

ALICE
In the dark? In this weather?

MARCIE
By herself?

BILL
Annie's always been a loner.

ALICE
You guys this doesn't feel right?

JACK
Look we'll give it until Steve gets back, and if she hasn't turned up then we'll start to panic. OK?

Unconvinced, Alice looks out the window over the camp.

33. EXT. CRYSTAL LAKE

Brenda stands at the shore; she looks back towards the camp. A cheeky grin on her face as she looks back to the lake and takes off her top.

Her shorts are pushed down her slender thighs and past her knees where she shakes them off.

Then the bra, she reaches behind unfastening it before pulling the straps off one at a time and dropping it to the floor. 

Finally, her panties which she pushes down to her feet, steps out of them and then charges into the water diving head first in time with blinding flash of 

LIGHTENING 

which not only illuminates her nubile flesh before it disappears into the water but also --

JASON'S HULKING MASS as he stalks down to the lake.

34. EXT. WATER 

Brenda breaks the surface and swims out to the middle of the lake. The water ripples as RAIN DROPS begin to fall.

The fog is settling on the lake, clouding her view as she swims further out.

She giggles to herself, the water feels amazing as she turns onto her back and gazes up at the dark sky.

Then she hears it, the sound of another person entering the water.

BRENDA
Hello?

No answer.

BRENDA
Bill, is that you?
(cheekily)
I knew it wouldn't take you long.

She swims about in a circle, a smile plastered on her face.

BRENA
Come on Bill, don't you know should never keep a girl waiting.
(laughs)

NO ANSWER.

BRENDA
Bill?

STILL NO ANSWER.

WHACK!

Something hits her... Brenda whirls around in the water to see a CANOE... several infact all floating along the water.

BRENDA
Bill come on now. Stop playing.

NOTHING.

BRENDA
Bill? Fuck you Bill.

RAIN BEGINS TO FALL.

Brenda heads towards the shore, swimming until her feet can touch the lake floor and walking the rest of the way.

She is still ankle deep when she notices her top floating in the water.

BRENDA
Shit! Damn it Bill, that top was expensive.

She pulls it out of the water and spots her shorts floating nearby.

BRENDA
You're such an ass hole, if this is your idea of some weird sex game you can forget it!

A HAND grabs her from the back of the head and in one swift and savage move pushes her head into the water.

Her arms flay about wildely, legs kicking, screams muffled by the bubbles of air escaping her mouth.

THE RAIN FALLS.

The HAND lets go of Brenda and she scurries to the shore, her long thick her in front of her face as she gasps desperately for breath as she spits out the lake water. 

BRENDA
YOU FUCKING SHIT! You could have killed me!

Brenda sweeps the hair off her face to see JASON!

She SCREAMS just as THUNDER rocks the camp drowing her out!

Brenda turns on all fours as Jason grabs one of her legs and yanks her back to him. She cries out and he lets her go, instantly she takes off towards the camp... her feet are ripped out from under her WHACK! she hits the ground HARD.

Confused she looks down to rope tied aroundone of her ankles, she follows the rope back into Jason's hand.

BRENDA
Oh my god. HELP!

MORE THUNDER as the RAIN POURS DOWN!

Brenda gets back up, gives chase before Jason tugs on the rope again.

She SCREAMS.

Again it's outdone by the THUNDER.

The RAIN PELTS the roofs of the cabin's like a drum.

Jason advances.

She reaches for the rope. Jason tugs harder as she is dragged towards him.

BRENDA
SOMEBODY HELP ME!

She rolls onto her front and claws at the mud as she is dragged closer and closer to him.

BRENDA
NOOOOOO!

Jason reaches down and picks the girl up by the neck. She struggles, kicking into him several times before he slams her face down into the ground.

Brenda is wailing as he steps on her back, wraps the rope around her neck like a noose and pulls up with so much strength the upper part of her body rises off the ground.

Her screams are now gargles of breath.

The noose becomes tighter and tighter, her arms wave about less and less until she collapses limply. Brenda hangs from the rope... dead!

35. EXT. EDGE OF LAKE

BOOTS walk along the shore line and off frame, we hear a dragging sound and soon enough Brenda's body is dragged across frame.

36. INT. MAIN CABIN

Alice, eyes on the window, and Marcie are on the sofa, Bill and Jack watching them attentively.

THUNDER rips through the cabin.

Alice gets up and walks over to the window. The RAIN hitting it hard and distorting the view outside.

ALICE
It's really coming down out there!

SOMETHING jumps out at her. No nothing SOMETHING. 

ANNIE!

SCREAMING. Alice jumps back, nearly toppling herself over.

MARCIE
Oh my god!

ALICE
Annie?

The girls rush to the door and Annie enters.

ANNIE
Oh thank god.

ALICE
What happened to you?

ANNIE
I got lost, damn woods all looking the same.

MARCIE
You had us worried.

ANNIE
I'm sorry, didn't mean to get lost but hey... remember these things happen to me.

ALICE
We should get you out of those clothes.

MARCIE
I'll get a towel.

JACK
I'll get the scotch; you'll want something to warm you up.

ANNIE
Guys honestly I'm grateful, but all I want is my bed.. I've been walking for hours.

ALICE
OK well let's get you to bed then.

ANNIE
It's OK you don't have too...

MARCIE
Trust me, it's easier if you don't fight her and let her play mother.

ANNIE
(to Alice)
Lead the way.

Bill crosses to Alice.

BILL
You want a hand?

ALICE
No I got this covered, but if you want, you can make me a nice hot chocolate for when I get back?

BILL
Done.

Alice and Annie exit braving the rain.

BILL
So you guys going to call it a night?

MARCIE			JACK
				Yes.				Not yet.

JACK
(off Marcie)
I'm not tired yet baby.

Jack starts shuffling the cards at the table again.

MARCIE
OK fine, so I'll go to bed by myself alone will I?

He’s too focused on the cards.

MARCIE
Will I?
(beat)
Jack?

Jack recognises her voice this time.

JACK
What?

MARCIE
I wanna go to bed.

JACK
So go.

MARCIE
God, you cannot be this clueless?

Marcie moves next to him.

JACK
I'm not stupid, I know what you're hinting at but last time I feel for it you actually went to sleep.

MARCIE
Come on, I'll let you do bad things to me.

JACK
You said that last time too.

MARCIE
(whispered)
Yeah but this time I'm not in the mood to sleep.
(beat) 
I'll let you put it anywhere.

JACK
Anywhere?

Marcie nods.

Jack is on his feet in a flash.

JACK
Dude I'm off, enjoy your night.

Jack practically drags Marcie out of the cabin.

MARCIE
Night Bill.

BILL
(laughing)
Goodnight guys.

37. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Marcie squeals as the cold water hits her. They both tear through the camp and into the girl's cabin.

IN THE B.G. In plain view. A figure hangs from a tree.

38. INT. BOY'S CABIN

Marcie and Jack enter. The only light comes from the FLASHES of LIGHTENING.

Wrapped in one another's arms, they kiss. Soft, seductively. Hands roaming one another.

She pulls off his shirt. His hands slips under hers. She giggles as he mauls her neck. Marcie pulls away, walks backwards over to the bunks and sits down.

Jack walks over to her, when he's close enough she lifts a leg and presses it into his stomach gently, stopping him.

She takes off her shirt and lowers her foot to his crotch, rubbing it with the side of her foot.

Jack advances, her leg between his he climbs on top of her, devouring her lips.

He massages her breasts, her fingers claw at his back. He pushes up her skirt and pulls off her panties, kneeling down between her legs as he slides them off.

LIGHTENING!

Kissing her leg, inner thigh as he climbs back on top of her.

Marcie arches her back, the pleasure overwhelming. She bites her bottom lip until his find hers once again.

LIGHTENING!

Her HANDS move under him.

ZIIIIIIP!

THUNDER!

She pushes his pants down and her legs around him.

LIGHTENING!

She gasps as he enters her. He buries his face into her neck, kissing her, licking her.

Their bodies move in rhythm with one another, both moaning.

LIGHTENING!

Both unaware that Neddy's mutilated body lies on the bunk just above them.

LIGHTENING! THUNDER!

39. INT. GIRL'S CABIN – SAME

Alice is turning down a bed as Annie enters drying her hair off, dressed in an oversized t-shirt she sits down on the edge of the bed.

ANNIE
I'm such an idiot.

ALICE
Why do you say that?

ANNIE
You know why I came out here? I came out here to be a different Annie, to be a fun Annie, to be the kind of girl that boys would be interested in.

ALICE
Oh Annie.

ANNIE
I know... boys interested in me right? What a joke?

ALICE
That's not what I meant.

ANNIE
Doesn't matter anyway, I just ended up being the same loser I was in Pittsburgh.
(forces a laugh)
I actually fooled myself into thinking that I would come out here and that maybe, just maybe I would find a guy that would be interested. The guys are interested alright, in Brenda or you.

ALICE
You're being way to hard on yourself.

ANNIE
Am I? Am I really, because I don't think so. Today at the lake, no one could even get my name right. My mother was right, I am a joke.

Annie slips under the covers, brings the sheets up to her neck as the tears come.

ALICE
Annie?

ANNIE
Please just go, Bill's waiting for you.

ALICE
Annie, no...

ANNIE
Please Alice, I just want to be alone.

ALICE
(somberly)
OK.

Alice walks over to the door and turns off the lights.

She exits closing the door behind her.

Annie remains wide awake, tears flowing.

40. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Alice covers her head and darts across the camp site back to the main cabin.

IN THE B.G: Jason is watching.

41. INT. MAIN CABIN

Alice enters, shaking the water from her hair. The cabin is empty?

ALICE
Bill?

NO ANSWER.

ALICE
Bill?

Bill enters carrying two coffee mugs.

BILL
Hey.

ALICE
Oh there you are. Thought you might have left.

BILL
No, Jack and Marcie left already so I'm thinking I should give them a while before I decide to go on in there.

He hands her a coffee and they both sit down.

BILL
How's Annie?

ALICE
She's dry, that's something.

BILL
Poor thing, out there lost.

ALICE
I know.

THUNDER rattles the windows.

ALICE
Wow.

A beat;

BILL
So remind me, where did we leave off from our discussion in the cabin earlier?

They both smile, she leans over and kisses him.

BILL
Ahh yes, now I remember.

He leans over for another.

42. INT. BOY'S CABIN

Marcie is straddling Jack, her arms up against the box spring abover her.

Their moans are getting louder and louder as they begin to reach climax.

43. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

The RAIN contines to beat into the muddy ground. Pools of water piling up across the grassy fields.

44. INT. BOY'S CABIN

They climax. Marcie collapses on top of Jack, both out of breath. They kiss gently as she rolls down next to him and pulls the blankets up over herself.

JACK
God it just gets better and better.

MARCIE
Tell me about it.

Jack reaches over and pries a cigarette from his packet. He lights up, inhales and passes it to Marcie.

MARCIE
No thanks.

JACK
But you always have one after?

MARCIE
Yeah but tonight I'm bypassing the cigarette and going straight to the shower.

JACK
You're kidding? Can't you skip the shower?

MARCIE
Nope.

JACK
You have seen what it is out there haven't you?

MARCIE
I'm aware, but you always know what I'm like. It's routine a shower in the morning and one at night... especially after sex.

JACK
So skip it.

MARCIE
If I skip it I won't be able to sleep.

JACK
You're such a clean freak you know that?

MARCIE
Of course I do, it's why you fell in love with me.

JACK
There you go again, spreading those lies about me.

He winks at her; she reaches across and kisses him.

MARCIE
I won't be long.

She climbs out of bed, her back to him as she pulls her top back on, quickly followed by her panties. She picks up the rest of her clothes and puts on her rubber boots.

JACK
Hurry back, it's getting cold in here.

MARCIE
Do me a favor?

JACK
Nope.

MARCIE
Bring me a towel.

JACK
You're kidding?

MARCIE
I'm not.

She leans over and kisses him again.

MARCIE
Thank you baby.

She exits.

JACK
I'm your boyfriend, not your slave!!

MARCIE (OS)
Same thing!

45. INT. BATHROOM

Marcie enters. 

CLICK! Light fills the cabin. She walks over to a row of mirrors and sinks. Checks her reflection, her teeth and smiles to herself, before laughing and rolling her eyes.

46. INT. SHOWER BLOCK

Individual shower stalls, with thin plastic shower curtains hiding the tiled insides and stainless steel shower heads.

She rips aside the curtain, hangs her clothes up. Turns on the water and proceeds to take everything off.

47. INT. BATHROOM

Steam invades the bathroom. Skimming the ceiling and spreading throughout the bathroom.

48. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie is under the hot water, it feels amazing against her skin. She drowns her hair and turns her face up allowing the water to pour all over her.

The LIGHTS OVERHEAD FLICKER!

Marcie looks up curiously.

MARCIE
Oh no. Please, please, please don't go out.

More THUNDER.

The LIGHTS stop flickering.

She breathes a sigh of relief.

49. INT. MAIN CABIN

Alice and Bill are making out on the couch when...

WHACK!

THE DOOR IS BLOWN OPEN!

Both of them jump at the sound as WIND rushes the cabin, blowing newspapers and magazines about.

BILL
Shit!

Bill rushes the door, closes it firmly. 

They both laugh.

Alice collects the papers and walks over to him. They both look out of the window.

BILL
If this keeps up we're going to the first ever floating camp.

Alice laughs.

50.INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie is still under the water. Humming to herself.

51. INT. BATHROOM

The door to the cabin opens and BOOTS walk in leaving muddy foot prints behind.

52. INT. SHOWER STALL

The FRONT DOOR CLOSES. 

Thinking she has heard something she sticks her head out from under the water and listens.

Nothing.

MARCIE
Jack? Baby is that you?

NO ANSWER.

MARCIE
Jack?

She pulls the curtain aside slightly and peers out into the empty bathroom. She eyes the footsteps suspiciously.

MARCIE
Who's there?

FROM NOWHERE Jack jumps out at her. Marcie SCREAMS! Jack roars with laughter.

MARCIE
You ass!

JACK
I know I know but I couldn't resist. 
(laughs)

MARCIE
Jerk!

JACK
Aww come on baby, it was a joke.

MARCIE
It wasn't funny.

JACK
Sure it was.
(beat)
Come on, give me a smile.

MARCIE
No.

JACK
Just a little one.

MARCIE
No!

JACK
Come on Marcie, no ones got a smile like my girl.

She can't help it, she breaks and smiles.

JACK
There it is.

MARCIE
You suck.

JACK
Of course I do.
(beat)
So there room in there for one more?

MARCIE
(playfully)
No, way too small.

JACK
Oh I'm sure I could fit.

MARCIE
No I don't think we should risk it.

JACK
Oh I think we should.

MARCIE
Oh do you now?

JACK
Oh I do!

She laughs and drags him, fully clothed, into the shower with her.

53. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie begins stripping Jack, their mouths entwined in one another.

He turns her around, her back into his chest. He presses her up against the wall.

THE LIGHTS FLICKER!

They both look up.

54. INT. MAIN CABIN

THE LIGHTS FLICKER.

Alice and Bill look up.

55. EXT. MAIN CAMP AREA

A CLAP OF THUNDER!

The LIGHTS go OUT!

56. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie and Jack are huddled together in the shower.

MARCIE
Oh this is just great.

JACK
Relax, the storms probably just taken out the electricity... I'll go start up the generator.
(off her face)
I’m not completely useless you know.

MARCIE
You had me fooled.

Jack pushes aside the curtain.

MARCIE
You're going to go now?

JACK
Of course.

MARCIE
But what about... you know?

JACK
I'll be right back.

She watches him put on a pair of jeans, singlet and slip into boots.

57. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Jack is crossing the open ground when the door of the main cabin opens and Bill and Alice stick their heads out.

ALICE
What's going on?

JACK
Storm's taken out the electricity.

IN THE B.G: Jason walks into the shed.

BILL
The generator should still work though.

JACK
That's where I'm headed.

Jack continues on his way and disappears into the shed. 

Alice and Bill retreat back inside.

58. INT. SHED

Jack enters with the splash of a puddle. His feet echo on the wooden floorboards. Aided by the slivers of light which come through the windows and opened door he finds his way to the generator.

Jack works on the generator, lifting levers, hitting buttons. Nothing.

JACK
Come on; don't tell me this piece of shit has gone out too!

He kicks into the generator. NOTHING.

JACK
Gimme a break!

He kicks it again angrily.... the generator ROARS TO LIFE.

The LIGHT above his head begins to flicker!

59. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie looks up as the light becomes stronger and stronger.

MARCIE
(smiling)
That's my man.

60. INT. MAIN CABIN AREA

The light is almost at full capacity.

ALICE
Well turns out Jack is slightly useful. Who knew?
(laughs)

61. INT. SHED

The light is almost at full strength. Jack is looking up at it, grinning.

BEHIND HIM the shadows quickly fade to reveal JASON STANDING INCHES AWAY FROM HIM!

JACK
Go me!

Jack turns....

WHACK!

Right into Jason's huge chest. Stunned, Jack stumbles backwards. He looks up, up, up to Jason's masked face.

JACK
(pure fear)
Oh shit.

JASON grabs Jacks' face with his bare head. Jack tries to cry out but his voice is muffled by the PALM mashed up against his mouth.

His arms raise up trying top push his attacker off him. It doesn't work.

Jason squeezes tighter on Jack's head and throws him head first into the wall. WHACK! Jack hits the ground. Dead?

Jason walks over to a wall filled with farming utensils and picks out the shiny new AXE!

62. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

The RAIN continues to fall as Jason emerges from the shed and stalks over to the shower block.

63. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie is humming to herself, soaping up her skin. The soap slips out of her hand. She bends down to pick it up.

64. INT. BATHROOM

The door opens and Jason walks in. Wind rushes in.

Jason looks down towards the shower stalls, raises the axe up against his shoulder. The perfect “hero” pose.

65. INT. SHOWER STALL

Marcie stands back up, soap in hand.

THE FRONT DOOR CLOSES!

MARCIE
Hey so you really are good for something after all.
(laugs)

NO ANSWER.

MARCIE
Jack?

She pulls aside the curtain and looks out, the bathroom is empty.

She spies the additional FOOT PRINTS on the floor.

MARCIE
Jack stop playing I can see your foot prints.

NOTHING!

MARCIE
Damn it Jack!

She turns off the taps.

Nothing but the storm outside can be heard.

She reaches outwards grabbing the towel and wrapping it tightly around her body.

Marcie steps out of the shower stall.

66. INT. BATHROOM

WET FEET slap the wood floorboards.

A CRACK of THUNDER startles her.

Fear sets in.

The LIGHTS FLICKER and DIE!

MARCIE
Shit!

Marcie turns around…

AN AXE COMING STRAIGHT AT HER!

She ducks the blade, falling backwards to the ground.

TWACK!

The AXE stabs into the doorway.

It takes a moment or two for her to clearly see JASON ripping the AXE from the wood.

MARCIE
OH MY GOD!

He advances.

Marcie turns onto all fours, pushes up and runs for the…

HER FEET 

slip on the floor and comes crashing down. THUD!

MARCIE
SHIT!

She scampers up onto her feet and rushes the door. JASON CLOSE BEHIND!

She grabs the front door, pulls on it…

WHACK!

The AXE cuts into the door and forces it closed.

Marcie stumbles backwards towards the BATHROOM STALLS as Jason rips the AXE free.

MARCIE
JACK!

He advances.

Marcie throws herself into the first stall she can find and locks herself in.

67. INT. MAIN CABIN

Alice walks around the cabin. She stands by the window and looks over the flooded camp. The rain is starting to die down.

68. INT. BATHROOM STALL

Marcie locks the door and falls back against the porcelain bowl. Tears streaming her face.

BANG! BANG!

Jason is beating into the door.

MARCIE
OH GOD SOMEBODY! JACK!

BANG! CRACK! SLAM!

The door bursts open.

Gripping the walls with her hands, Marcie lets out a final blood curdling SCREAM as the AXE slices into her face.

She falls back against the wall with a heavy THUD! Her body slowly slides down to the ground.

69. INT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Bill enters the room, he spots Alice lingering near the window.

BILL
What’s wrong?

ALICE
Did you hear that?

BILL
Hear what?

ALICE
It sounded, it sounded like someone screaming. Like Marcie.

BILL
It’s probably just the wind that’s all.

The lights begin to flicker. They both look upwards as they are engulfed by the darkness.

BILL
So much for Jack.

He puts on his shoes.

BILL
I’m going to check the generator.

ALICE
Bill?

BILL
It’s OK Alice; it’ll take me a second.

Alice searches the cabin and finds a flashlight.

BILL
Where are you going?

ALICE
To check on Marcie.

BILL
Alice?

ALICE
Humour me Bill.

70. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Alice and Bill step out of the cabin expecting the worst, however the storm is down to a couple of drops.

BILL
Meet back here?

Alice nods.

Alice and Bill head out into different directions.  

Alice’s feet sink in the mud as she heads towards the girl’s cabin.

INT. SHED

Bill enters, he moves towards the generator and makes a couple of attempts to turn it on. They fail.

BILL
I hate these things.

A HAND grabs Bill’s leg. He jumps, letting out a short cry as he looks down to see Jack lying there.

BILL
Jack? Jack what the hell happened?

Bill props Jack up against the wall, the side of his face caked in blood.

JACK
Marcie.

Jack grabs hold of Bill.

JACK
Where's Marcie?

 

Bill stands back up leaving Jack propped up against the wall.

BILL
Alice is checking on here...now don’t move, not yet, you’ve lost a lot of blood Jack. I’m going to get the first aid kit. I’ll be right back just stay here.

Bill quickly exits.

JACK
Bill, listen to me…. BILL!

71. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Bill can be seen rushing back to the main cabin as Alice enters the girl’s cabin.

72. INT. GIRL’S CABIN

CLICK! Light floods the dark room. She illuminates the bed Annie had been on, it’s empty.

ALICE
Annie? Annie?

The LIGHT searches the room.

HANDS grab her from behind.

Alice jumps away to see Annie standing there.

ANNIE
Did you hear that?

ALICE
You heard it too?

ANNIE
The scream! Alice, something is going on. 

ALICE
Come on.

ANNIE
Where are we going?

ALICE
To find the others.

73. EXT. GIRL’S CABIN

Alice and Annie emerge hand in hand, leading the way to the boy’s cabin with the flashlight.

Even though the rain has stopped the thunder and lightening continue.

74. INT. BOY’S CABIN

Alice and Annie enter.

They cut through the room with the flashlight.

ANNIE
Alice, I don’t like this.

ALICE
Where the hell is everyone?

Just as they turn to leave the flashlight catches a glimpse of Neddy lying on the top bunk.

ANNIE
Wait, it’s Neddy!

Annie quickly hurries over to the bunk; Alice follows as the FLASHLIGHT flickers. Alice beats it against her palm to get it to work. It does, barely.

Annie reaches the bunk and slips, catching herself on the steel frame. The bunk shakes enough for something to DROP with a THUD!

ALICE
(to Annie)
You OK?

Annie nods.

Alice lowers the FLASHLIGHT to the ground revealing NEDDY’S severed head lying in a pool of blood.

Horrified, both girls stumble backwards. The FLASHLIGHT illuminating the entire bunk. The lower bed drenched in blood that drips down from the one above. 

The girls let RIP WITH ONE HELL OF A SCREAM before they clamber out of the cabin.

75. EXT. BOY’S CABIN

They girls pour out of the cabin, stopping to catch themselves. The screaming continues.

ANNIE
Oh my god! Oh my fucking good!

JACK (OS)
ALICE!

Both girls look over to see Jack stumbling out of the shed and rest against a tree.

ALICE
Oh god Jack, Neddy! Neddy’s dead!

JACK
Where’s Marcie?

ALICE
I don't know!

JACK
We have to get out of here.

ANNIE
Well come on!

JACK
Wait, I'm not leaving without Marcie.

ALICE
What about the others?

JACK
(re: main cabin)
Bill's inside yeah?

Alice nods.

JACK
OK look both of you get inside, lock the doors barricade it if you have too.

ALICE
What about you?

JACK
I'm going to get Marcie and then I'm going to look for Brenda.

ALICE
Jack?

JACK
Do it. Go!

Reluctantly the girls head back for the main cabin as Jack groggily makes his way towards the shower block.

76. INT. BATHROOM

Jack walks in. He pauses.

JACK
Marcie?

77. INT. MAIN CABIN

Alice and Annie burst into the room. Annie slams it shut while Alice starts moving furniture and everything else not bolted down in front of the door.

ALICE
Bill! BILL!

Annie helops Alice drag the couch in front of the door.

ALICE
BILL! BILL, WHERE ARE YOU?

78. INT. BATHROOM

Jack is making his way past the bathroom stalls when his feet move into something thick and wet. He looks down, he can’t make it out in the dark, but he can see where it’s coming from. 

JACK
(unsure)
Baby?

79. INT. MAIN CABIN

ANNIE
(to herself)
We need something, in case they get in.

ALICE
Annie?

Annie is scavenging through the dark looking for something.

ANNIE
We need something to protect ourselves.

80. INT. BATHROOM

Jack pushes open the stall door revealing MARCIE’S CRUMPLED BODY. AXE still wedged into her face.

81. INT MAIN CABIN

Annie rips open the closet door. 

A BODY FALLS OUT and on top of Annie. She hits the floor and starts screaming.

Alice recognises the body holding Annie down. It's Bill. His throat gaping open.

Alice SCREAMS!

82. INT. BATHROOM

Jack snaps around to the main cabin.

83. INT. MAIN CABIN

Annie is trying to push Bill's corpse off of her as heavy footsteps enter the room. JASON IS STANDING THERE!

The girls SCREAM.

84. EXT. MAIN CABIN

Jack reaches the door, he tries to open it but the door won't budge!

JACK
ALICE! ALICE OPEN THE DOOR!

85. INT. MAIN CABIN / KITCHEN

Alice helps Annie push Bill's body off and helps her up as Jason grabs a hold of Annie and tucks her under his arm like a rag doll.

ANNIE
ALICE!!!!

ALICE
NO!

Alice grabs hold of both of Annie's hands and anchors herself against him pulling Annie towards her, but she is no match for Jason and soon enough both girls are being dragged into the kitchen.

ANNIE
JACK!

ALICE
JACK HELP US!!!

86. EXT. PORCH - MAIN CABIN

Jack moves to the window and looks inside.

JACK'S POV: of the girls being dragged into the kitchen.

Jack makes a mad dash to the back of the cabin.

87. INT. KITCHEN

Jason back hands Alice off Annie and slams Annie face up on the kitchen counter. He pins her down with his hand.

ALICE
NO! NOOOOOO!

IN A FLASH he raises a knife and stabs into Annie. Alice watches as Jason stabs into her chest and pulls the knife downwards as if the poor girl were nothing more than a fish.

Alice is screaming hysterically in a corner up against the wall. Tears or sorrow, tears of fear staining her cheeks along with small splatters of Annie's blood.

ALICE
ANNIE!!!! ANNIE!!!!

BANG! BANG!

Jason turns to see Jack at the backdoor. 

Without further doing, Jason grabs Annie's body and with all his might hurls her body at the door. 

Jack ducks.

Annie's body hits the door, shattering the glass window.

88. EXT. MAIN CABIN

The GLASS explodes over Jack's back.

89. INT. KITCHEN

Alice is still screaming.

Annie's body hits the floor, up against the door, her insides sprawled out over the floor for all too see.

Jason turns his attention back to Alice.

She's next!!!

ALICE
Jack! JAAACK!

Jason advances. 

Alice jumps to her feet and into the main cabin.

JACK
GET AWAY FROM HER! LEAVE HER ALONE! ALICE! ALICE!

90. INT. MAIN CABIN

Jason stops dead. Looking around the room he can't see her anywhere.

WHACK! 

A TABLE LAMP is smashed over his head. Jason stumbles sideways from the blow and Alice moves back into the kitchen.

91. INT. KITCHEN

She charges over to the backdoor. 

JACK
Come on Alice.

She tries to open the door but Annie's body is in the way.

ALICE
Damn it!

JACK
ALICE!

Her head glances back. JASON IS IN THE DOORWAY.

JACK
Come on.

No second thought required she breaks off the remaining glass and proceeds to climb out of the broken window aided by Jack.

Jason swipes at her with the knife but misses her leg by inches.

92. EXT. MAIN CABIN

Jack loses his footing and falls backwards. They hit the floor but instinctively all eyes are back on the kitchen door.

JASON IS GONE!

93. EXT. CABIN AREA

Jack and Alice are moving through the grounds.

ALICE
Jack we're in the middle of nowhere. What the hell are we going to do?

He spots the OFFICE.

JACK
We're going to call for help!

94. EXT. OFFICE DOOR

A HAND twists the door knob and pushes it open.

95. INT. OFFICE

Jack rushes to the phone while Alice quietly closes the door and keeps watch by the window.

IN THE B.G. Jack picks up the phone, dials... listens...

JACK
Shit!

Alice turns.

JACK
It's dead.

ALICE
Oh god. Jack what are we going to do? What the hell are we going to do?

Jack crosses over to her.

JACK
Alice, we are going to get out of this. I swear to you, you're not going to die here. Not tonight.

Alice is nodding, her head turning back to the window. Immediately her eyes grow wide, she grabs Jack and pulls him down, hiding beneath the window frame.

96. EXT. OFFICE

Jason is standing several feet away, his back to the office. MACHETE in hand. Slowly as I sensing them, he turns to it.

97. INT. OFFICE

On Alice and Jack.

JACK
What is it?

ALICE
He’s out there!

JACK
Shit!

ALICE
I'm scared Jack.

He looks to her; he knows there are no words to comfort her.

ALICE
Do you think he's gone?

JACK 
I don't know.

PULL BACK TO REVEAL: Jason standing at the window looking down at them.

ALICE
We should check.

JACK
We should.
(beat)
I should.

Back on Alice and Jack.

Jack starts back up.

ALICE
Be careful.

JACK'S POV: From the bottom of the window. Nothing. Jason is gone!

JACK
He's not there.

ALICE
He's gone?

JACK
Yep!

CRASH! The WINDOW EXPLODES.

A HAND grabs Jack by the hair and hoists him up onto his feet. He cries out as he is turned around, Alice reaches out her hands as...

Jack goes rigid, his body shaking, eyes wild, mouth gaped. A choking sound from his throat.

Suddenly the skin around his neck begins to point out... further, further, further until it tears exposing the MACHETE'S BLADE ripping through his neck.

CRIMSON ERUPTS.

ALICE SCREAMS!

Jack's lifeless body drops to the ground.

Alice backs away screaming!

BANG!

The office door is kicked in.

Jason advances!

Alice hurls everything imaginable at him in a desperate ploy to keep the madman at bay.

ALICE
DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!

After several attempt he manages to grab hold of her hair. JASON PULLS OUT A KNIFE!

Alice cries out as he plunges it into her side.

Alice jerks and pulls free of Jason tearing a chunck of her hair clean from her skull.

98. EXT. OFFICE

Alice tears out of the office clutching her side. She runs about delirious... what next? Where do I go?

She turns around to see Jason emerging from the office; she turns and runs off blindly.

99. EXT. MAIN CABIN AREA

Alice races through the grounds and towards the lake hysterical. Jason hot in pursuit.

She manages her way down the thick mud towards the lake, stumbling every so often and at one point falling forward onto her hands and knees.

ALICE
Shit!

She pushes herself up and stops...

LIGHTENING!

...illuminates Brenda's naked body hanging from the tree.

Alice SCREAMS!

A HAND grabs her. 

Alice turns fighting, she loses her footing and falls backwards.

She looks up to Jason.

HE ADVANCES AND SHE MOVES BACK.

ALICE
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

He keeps advancing, she keeps moving backwards along the shore line.

ALICE
WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU! NOTHING!

Her hand feels something; she eyes the ORE lying next to her. She has to act quickly.

She looks behind him.

ALICE
PLEASE HELP ME!

Jason whirls around. Alice acts, grabbing the ORE and slamming it against him as he begins to turn around.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

Jason collapses onto one knee.

Alice gets up, runs alongside the shoreline but then she stops realising there is really no where to go but back up towards the main area.

She tears through the camp, screaming. Disappearing into the woods.

100. INT. WOODS

Alice runs blindly past trees, she doesn't know where she's going she just knows she has to get away.

101. EXT. WOODS – VOORHEES HOUSE

Alice pushing through the woods, stopping only when out of breath. She looks to her left, to her right…

SNAP! CRACK!

She ducks behind a HUGE TREE and listens as Jason slices his way through the shrubbery with his machete.

Jason stops, looks around.

Alice waits with baited breath, silent tears roll down her cheeks.

A sound off camera catches his attention and in a FLASH Jason continues off into another direction.

Alice lets out a heavy sigh of relief as she lays eyes on THE VOORHEES HOUSE not too far away.

Crouched down she makes her way to the shed, contorting her shape to those of the surrounding trees until she reaches the house.

Alice bolts up the porch and disappears inside.

102. INT. LOUNGE ROOM - VOORHEES HOUSE

She goes for the door lock and realises there isn’t one.

ALICE
Damn it.

She moves through the house as quietly as she can, the floorboards creaking, giving away her location everytime.

BANG!

Alice goes rigid, scream caught in her throat she looks back the way she came.

INT. LOUNGE ROOM - VOORHEES HOME

The front door is wide open. JASON'S HOME!

INT. HALLWAY – VOORHEES HOUSE

Alice remains still, listening to the steps as Jason moves towards the hallway. Alice moves quickly and quietly into an adjoining room just as Jason enters the hall.

INT. ROOM

Her back to the wall she waits, listening. Every sound amplified. Every creak a threat.

INT. HALLWAY

Jason starts down the hallway.

INT. ROOM

Alice can hear each of his steps, it's almost as though it's the sound of a countdown to the end of her life.

ALICE
(barely audible)
Please god.

She continues to listen, eventually his silhouette passes by the door. Alice starts back for the door but notices something that stops her in her tracks.

A closed door teasingly reveals a bright orange light from a two inch gap. 

Alice moves to the door, she opens it CREEEAAAAAAKKK!... the orange glow bathes over her as her face turns to horror. What she is looking at makes every single hair on the back of her neck stand up.

In the centre of the room is table, cloaked in dirty cloth and covered in candles, wax and flowers that surround the decapitated, decaying head of… 

PAMELA VOORHEES.

An alter to a dead mother.

ALICE
(breathlessly)
Oh god the story... his mother's head, it was all true.

She moves around a rotting mattress lying on the floor, looks around the room… someone has been living in here for quite some time.

As if in a daze, Alice drifts into the room and trips over the floor. She looks behind her...

ALICE’S POV: of Victor and Heather’s corpses stacked neatly over the bodies of several other victims.

ALICE SCREAMS.

She scampers backwards towards the wall, bumping into a table.

She stands up, shaking and notices the array of weapons on the table. Several different kind of knives. Screwdrivers. A Hatchet.

BEHIND HER Jason stands in the doorway!

ALICE
(breathlessly)
Jason.

HE CHARGES AT HER!

Alice turns SCREAMS!

Jason lashes out with the MACHETE slicing open her arm, the force sends her crashing into the window.

ALICE
No!

Glass flying everywhere. Jason advances. He grabs a hold of her by the hair and begins to drag her over to the table, Alice manages to pick up a HSARD of broken glass and drives it into his arm.

Jason howls and let’s go of her.

Alice stumbles away from Jason running into the table and knocking off the head which hits the flooralong with several CANDLES crash to the floor and begin to lick the dry wooden walls and the old dirty table cloth which catches fire in a heartbeat. 

Candles land on the mattress which begins to blacken almost instantly. 

Alice gets up as flames begin to consume the room,  claiming the bodies of Jason's victims.

Alice backs herself against the wall as Jason gets up wailing, ignoring Alice and trying to save his mother's head which has caught fire.

The flames jump onto Jason's hands, a spread along his overalls yet he still continues to save his mother's head.

Alice has seen enough, she turns and bolts from the room.

103. EXT VOORHEES HOUSE - WOODS

Alice slices through the woods. Behind her, Jason’s panicked cries can be heard as the eerie glow of the flames can be seen from the windows of the house as it continues to burn.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

104. EXT. ROAD – CRYSTAL LAKE – SUNRISE

A quiet peaceful road, fresh from the onslaught the storm brought with it previously.

A CAR drives through.

105. INT. CAR

A HUSBAND and WIFE are up front. She is snuggled against her husband.

HUSBAND
See I told you this was the best way to your mother's.

WIFE
It sure is beautiful.

A beat;

HUSBAND
Jesus Christ!

WIFE
What is it?

WIFE'S POV: Through the windshield at a young girl walking with her back towards them... it's Alice.

106. EXT. ROAD

The CAR pulls up next to her and the WIFE is quick to get out.

She quickly chases after Alice.

WIFE
Hello? Hello, are you all right.

Alice stops, she turns to the wife, she looks the epitome of a girl that has been through hell and barely survived.

WIFE
Oh my.

ALICE
(barely audible)
Please, help me.

107. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM

Alice springs awake as if from a nightmare, her heart racing. She slowly sits up looking around the room, she is the only one there.

108. EXT. HALLWAY

Alice emerges from her room, taking small steps aided by the wall. She passes a window... its night time outside.

She continues walking as she hears voices, they're close but she can't make out a word they are saying.

She turns a corner, there's no light here.

109. INT. DARK HALLWAY

Alice travels through the darkness following the voices. She getting nearer and nearer until she reaches a glass window.

She looks through it at the sleeping babies inside.

WHAM! 

SOMETHING JUMPS ONTO THE GLASS!

It's MARCIE!

Alice looks on horrified as Marcie glides her hands over the glass coating it in blood. Her face splits in half revealing the gaping wound the AXE left.

ALICE
Marcie!

MARCIE
He's coming Alice. Jason's coming.

ALICE
No!

MARCIE
You didn't think he'd just stop now did you?
(beat)
Jason's just getting started!

Alice catches a reflection in the glass, she turns to see JASON STANDING OVER HER.

AN AXE COMES DOWN!

ALICE SCREAMS!

110. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM

Alice springs to life in her bed, screaming mercifully. Doctors rush the room and pin her back to the bed.

ALICE
HE'S COMING! JASON'S COMING!
 HE'S GOING TO KILL ME! HE'LL KILL US ALL!

The DOCTOR storms the room.

DOCTOR
(to orderly)
Quickly, she needs to be sedated.

The orderly hands her a needle and he is quick to her side.

ALICE
Please you have to listen to me, I'm not crazy, I'm not. Jason's real and he's coming.

The DOCTOR sticks her with the needle. Pushes down.

The drug takes effect and soon enough the orderly's can let go off her and position her comfortably in her bed.

Alice's head falls to the side, staring lifelessly outside the window. It's a beautiful morning.

DOCTOR
Poor girl.

ORDERLY
She going to be OK?

DOCTOR
After everything she's seen, I'm afraid she'll never be the same again.

Eventually Alice is alone again; her eyes wander to the SMALL TELEVISION that is switched on.

ONSCREEN: A FEMALE REPORTER is standing in front of a big WELCOME TO CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE sign.

REPORTER
… I’m standing here in front of Camp Crystal Lake, where once again it has become the setting of a crazed mass murder which claimed several young lives and a single survivor in critical condition. Authorities are still searching for the person or persons responsible for the murders… 

Alice remains near catatonic as a tear runs down the side of her face.

111. EXT. WOODS – SAME

Someone moves through the woods.

POV: A POLICE CAR DRIVES PAST!

The person stops and waits until they are long gone before continuing emerging onto a road.

BOOTS stop in the middle of the road.

Standing on the road, breathing heavily, enraged.

JASON’S POV: at Crystal Lake.

Jason brings the MACHETE to his chest, a man on a mission.

SMASH CUT TO BLACK!
