Kill Ride

A scream fades in. Not a scream of terror, but a scream of having a fun time.

FADE IN

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Bright red and yellow lights light up the park, flashing and spinning in an almost hypnotizing way. People crowd the park, brushing shoulders with one another, holding large stuffed animals, and eating food at benches and tables.

Sounds of sirens pierce the ear at a game stand and a girl stands up, screaming in excitement as the game host gives her a large stuffed bear. She squeezes it like there’s not tomorrow.

EXT. DESTINATION: HELL – NIGHT

A large tower sits in the middle of the park with a large red light flashing on and off at the very tip of it. A long line winds around the ride, filled with anxious people. A lift suddenly shoots up filled with people.

RIDER’S POV

The whole park is visible, the lights shining like a neighborhood filled with Christmas lights. The rider goes down and shoots back up again, looking at large roller coasters and smaller rides.

EXT. ROLLER COASTER – NIGHT

An enormous, red roller coaster stretches from one end of the park to the other with a long red train climbing up to the top of the first drop.

The train drops, hitting a loop, the passengers screaming in excitement. The train takes on corkscrews and sharp turns. The screams fade out.

INT. ROLLER COASTER LOADING STATION – NIGHT

Another train comes to a stop in the station. Gates open up to let more riders into the carts and the gates close behind them. They pull their restraints down and the ride begins climbing up the hill.

EXT. FERRIS WHEEL – NIGHT

A short line of people wait in front of the large, white Ferris wheel. As it rotates, the gears and the metal crank that makes it seem unsafe to ride. The seats swing back and forth, and people look down at the crowd below, waving to them.

In the line includes IAN and CHRISTINA, both 19.

Ian is dressed in black baggy pants that cover his Adidas halfway. He has a red t-shirt over his black long-sleeved shirt, and his brown hair spike up.

Christina’s golden hair hides half of her face, only showing one of her bright blue eyes. She’s wearing a baby blue long sleeved shirt with a gray scarf wrapped around her neck, along with jeans.

Christina looks uncomfortably up at the Ferris wheel, a slight breeze blowing her golden hair out of her face, exposing her blue eyes, making her look two time more attractive.

Ian puts his arm around her waste and looks up at the top of the Ferris wheel with her, smiling and letting out a slight chuckle. He looks at Christina and brushes some strands of hair behind her ear.

IAN
Hey, what’s wrong?

CHRISTINA
(Snapping out of trance)
Huh? Oh, nothing’s wrong.
(Smiling)
I’m fine. I’m just not a big fan of heights.

IAN
Ah, aerophobia, I see. You never told me that.

CHRISTINA
(Giggling)
What? I have to tell you all of my secrets?

IAN
(Flirting)
Well if I’d known, then I wouldn’t have urged you to ride on this.

CHRISTINA
No it’s fine. Really. I don’t mind. It’s weird though, I look at the ride and I’m terrified to go on it, but once I do get on it, I’m not afraid.

IAN
I guess some people are like that.

They smile and kiss. The line begins to move and they inch their way to the loading station of the Ferris wheel.

INT. FERRIS WHEEL SEAT – NIGHT

Ian and Christina sit in the seat together, hand in hand, cuddled up, with Ian’s arm over her shoulder. Their seat begins to ascend to the very top of the ride and Christina silently breathes deeply in and out to herself.

As they reach the top, the ride suddenly screeches to a halt. Christina nervously grabs to the metal bar holding their seat to the ride, which begins to sway.

IAN
(Stroking her hair)
Hey, hey, hey calm down. We’re all right.

CHRISTINA
(Freaking out)
No, no, no, no, why did we stop? Why’d we stop?

IAN
Just calm down and breathe.

Christina looks down at the ground, seeing the crowd look up at them.

CHRISTINA
I want to get down. I want to get off.

Christina clings onto Ian, her eyes beginning to tear up. Finally, the ride begins to descend. Christina’s grip on Ian begins to loosen and finally she sits back up.

They get out of their seat and Christina quickly walks out of the exit. Ian walks over to the ride’s operator, PHIL, a man dressed in gray clothing with a scruffy beard.

PHIL
Didn’t get your chance?

IAN
Nah. I guess it was too big of a move.

PHIL
Here.
(Hands Ian money)
If it didn’t work, you get your money back.

IAN
(Putting money in pocket)
Thanks anyways, Phil. See you later.

EXT. FERRIS WHEEL – NIGHT

Ian runs up to Christina who is sitting on the bench, still calming herself down. She stands up when she sees Ian.

IAN
You feeling better?

CHRISTINA
Yeah. I’m so sorry about that. It’s just that——

IAN
You don’t have to apologize.

CHRISTINA
No, Ian, I do. I saw what you were trying to do and I tried my best to keep cool, but I just couldn’t handle it.

Ian kicks at the ground, embarrassed. His cheeks get bright red and Christina grabs his hands.

IAN
I guess you think I’m a total pervert now or something.

CHRISTINA
Actually, you’re better than the other guys I have dated before.
(Beat)
I can make it up to you by going on one last ride before we go home.

IAN
Which ride?

EXT. DECAPITATOR – NIGHT

Ian and Christina stand in front of a huge, wooden roller coaster, the tracks aligned with yellow glowing lights that move the direction the train goes.

IAN
(Bewildered)
Wow...

CHRISTINA
This time, I won’t freak out.

IAN
You know, Christina, you don’t have to do this just because of what I did...

CHRISTINA
No come on! We need a rush before we leave. Or are you scared this time?

IAN
Me? Scared? No way in hell.

They advance towards the line of the Decapitator as one of the trains races down a hill, the screams echoing through the park.

INT. LOADING STATION – NIGHT

The train pulls into the loading station, the restraints popping up and the gates opening to let people in. Ian and Christina sit in the third cart and pull their shoulder restraints down.

The operators press down on all the passengers’ shoulder restraints before walking over to the control panel. One of the operators raises their thumb and soon all of them do and the ride begins.

EXT. DECAPITATOR – NIGHT

The train begins to climb up, the loud clanking makes everything inaudible. Christina looks at Ian and smiles and Ian forces a smile back, but soon loses it when he looks down at the people watching.

They reach the top and both Christina and Ian tighten their grip on their restraints as they roll down the first drop towards a sharp turn. They pass the sharp turn and go up another steep hill towards another death drop.

Christina grabs onto Ian’s sleeve, screaming as they go through long turns and giant hills. Ian hangs on securely to his restraints and tries keeping his eyes open, but the wind makes his eyes water.

Further down the tracks, the wood begins to split open. Pieces of the track slowly break.

The train hits as small bump and Ian and Christina float in their seats and then fall back in them. The rain makes a turn that almost goes sideways, Christina facing straight towards the ground.

They begin to reach the end of the ride when they suddenly see the track collapse, the boards flying to the death-defying drop below. The passengers’ screams of excitement soon turn to screams of fear.

Christina and Ian see the track collapsing and they grip onto their restraints tighter than ever, Ian nails digging into the soft padding.

The train hits the missing tracks...

...but doesn’t fall. It continues its trip to the end of the station, the passengers still screaming when the train stops.

Ian and Christina’s eyes, both closed, open, watering. Ian loosens his grip, leaving tear marks on the restraints. The restraints pop up and they both get out, shaking and dazed.

EXT. DECAPITATOR – NIGHT

They walk down the exit ramp towards the ground quickly, but are stopped by a man dressed in red and white striped pants and shirt with a tall hat that looks like Uncle Sam’s.

MAN
Congratulations. You’re still alive.

He laughs deeply and hands them both a large, round button. Ian and Christina reach for the buttons, their hands still shaking.

Ian looks at the button.

INSERT – BUTTON

It’s a black button with red words dripping blood that say:

I DIED ON THE DECAPITATOR

Ian snickers and Christina glares at him. Ian looks at her and chuckles some more.

IAN
What? That’s clever!

Christina and Ian both look at the coaster where the tracks have collapsed. Black, almost invisible tracks connect to the actual tracks of the ride.

There they see the tracks magically replacing themselves to where they look as if they’re part of the track.

IAN
(Still looking)
Like I said, clever.

CHRISTINA
Let’s just go home.

IAN
What?

Christina storms off. Ian follows.

IAN
You were terrified weren’t you?

CHRISTINA
(Spinning around)
Hey I wasn’t the only one scared. I saw your face.

IAN
Come on it was just a joke for the thrill of it.

CHRISTINA
I didn’t know. I don’t think anyone knew. I thought that that was going to be our last ride of our life.
(Beat)
I thought we were really going to die.

Ian holds her hands in his.

IAN
Okay. Look, we’ll get a snack for the ride home and you can just throw that stupid, plastic button in that trashcan over there.

He grabs her button and holds it up to his face. Christina laughs. They embrace and walk hand in hand towards a hotdog stand.

EXT. ZERO GRAVITY – NIGHT

A large, fast, rotating ride spins around quicker than the eye can blink. People in the ride are forced to keep their bodies to the wall.

INT. ZERO GRAVITY CONTROL BOX – NIGHT

An obese man sits in a spinning chair, resting elbow on the control panel while eating a slice of pepperoni pizza.

EXT. ZERO GRAVITY – NIGHT

The gears crank loudly as the ride turns and rotates intensely over and over again. A loud growl inaudible to anyone else pierces the ears of only the riders in Zero Gravity.

A woman inside the ride laughs as the ride rotates. Her neck is equivalent to the top of the shoulder restraint and she screams out something that is incoherent.

Suddenly the gears impede sharply, stopping the ride with a sudden jolt. The woman’s neck snaps as her head topples over the restraint with a sickening crunch. Another rider next to the woman screams before the ride begins again.

The ride starts spinning out of control, faster and faster, faster than it usually should.

INT. ZERO GRAVITY CONTROL BOX – NIGHT

The obese man chomps down on his last slice of pizza when he sees the ride malfunctioning.

MAN
What the hell?

EXT. ZERO GRAVITY – NIGHT

Bystanders stand back, talking amongst themselves and pointing at the ride. The passengers are now screaming louder. The ride sprays sparks onto the ground, wires snap, and the gears pop off.

The ride pops off, smashing into the ground and beginning to roll through the park. People scream and jump out of the way, as others get crushed beneath the bending metal.

The ride smashes into a restaurant, exploding on impact. The ride stops and topples onto the ground upside down, the screams of the passengers still heard as they burn in the flames that spread across the area.

EXT. DESTINATION: HELL – NIGHT

The control panel begins to spark as the riders load into their seats.

The operator looks strangely at the control panel and looks up. He sees the riders strapping up and pulling their restraints down. Suddenly the control panel explodes in the operators face, blowing him back into a brick wall, killing him.

The lift shoots up and the control panel sparks, stopping the ride instantly. The lift screeches to a halt and the riders are stuck in the middle of the ride. Suddenly it drops towards the ground, not slowing down.

The riders scream, unable to do anything except hold on and close their eyes when the lift stops feet from the ground. Before anyone can react, the lift shoots back up, speeding up towards the top. It stops at the top, all the restraints breaking open.

The passengers fly out of their seats and soar through the air, landing on food stands and smashing into the pavement, becoming too mutilated to be recognized.

EXT. SPEEDER – NIGHT

Riders get comfortable in their seats and pull down their safety bars. Another loud growl is heard by everyone near the ride. The roar is inhumane, creature-like, and suddenly the ride begins itself, shooting the train forward like normal.

The rain goes through a loop and begins going up the a steep hill where it is supposed to slow down and go backwards...

...but it continues moving, no signs of breaks whatsoever.

The rollercoaster shoots off the hill, the carts breaking apart and smashing into the ground, leaving craters in the pavement.

People who get in the carts’ way either get smashed to bits or get thrown against buildings.

EXT. HOTDOG STAND – NIGHT

Christina and Ian are handed two hotdogs, Ian’s with ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish, and Christina’s with mustard, pickle relish, and chopped up onions.

They hear a loud commercial and quickly walk over to where it is coming from.

EXT. CHAIRLIFT – NIGHT

Christina and Ian run over and look up. The chairlifts have stopped and they are swinging rapidly back and forth, their passengers screaming for help.

IAN
What the hell is going on?

Everything goes quiet. Everything is silent. Everyone has been hushed.

The loud growl soon turns into a clicking growl. A large gust of wind blows through the area, and suddenly get gets stronger, the growl turning into a loud roar.

The gust pushes Christina backwards under the chairlift and the wires snap. All the chairlifts fall down to the ground and Christina looks up, her eyes getting big.

IAN
Christina!

Christina screams and holds her hands out in front of her as the chairlift gets closer to her.

CUT TO BLACK

FADE IN

As news flashes and newspaper articles about the amusement park incident fade in and out, the credits begin to roll.

TITLE CARD: KILL RIDE

The credits end.

CUT TO BLACK

FADE IN

EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

A black Chevrolet sits in front of the amusement park entrance with two figures in the front. There is a large sign on the entrance that reads in beg, red letters: “Closed. No Trespassing”.

INT. CHEVROLET – DAY

A boy and a girl sit in the truck, listening to rock music at a low volume.

MICHAEL, 18, sits in the driver seat of the Chevrolet. He’s wearing a gray t-shirt with a brown vest, and jeans, his brown, slick hair neatly brushed and gelled behind his ears.

STACEY, 17, has her heavy-duty black boots on the dashboard, her black hair in her face and dressed in a goofy outfit: a short, black skirt, arm warmers, fishnets, and a pink and red tank top.

Stacey is biting her fingernails obsessively while Michael rubs his eyes. He changes the station to another rock station.

Stacey drops her arms to her side and crosses her legs. She narrows her eyes at Michael.

STACEY
Do you always have to change the station every two minutes?

MICHAEL
(Irritated)
Sorry.

Beat.

STACEY
(Impatient)
When are they going to get here?

MICHAEL
How the hell should I know? They haven’t called yet.

STACEY
Well then maybe you should call them.

MICHAEL
Because I called them like fifty times already and they still haven’t answered.

STACEY
I can’t believe you’re doing this anyways.

MICHAEL
Hey you wanted to come. And if you tell mom about this——

STACEY
‘I swear I’ll stick you in a closet full of jagged nails’. Come on, Michael, think of something else. It’s always the same when it comes to you.

Michael turns the radio off and turns his car off. Stacey sees a van coming down the road in her side view mirror.

STACEY
Here they come.

EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

A white, beat up van pulls up behind the Chevrolet with loud rock music pounding away from the inside. The music stops as the van turns off and another teenage guy gets out.

QUENTIN, 19, steps out of the driver side of the van, wearing a beanie, a light blue, buttoned up shirt, and baggy, tan pants.

HALEY and PAGE, both 18, get out of the back of the van, both wearing almost the exact same thing. They’re wearing loads of make up and are the preppy type.

GREG, 19, steps out of the passenger side of the van, wearing a muscle shirt and jeans, his black hair slicked back.

And last is CAREY, 19, with brown, puffy hair that goes down to her shoulders. She’s wearing a white long sleeved shirt and black Capri pants. She looks like she’s the quiet one of the group.

Quentin pulls out a small, metallic video camera and flips open the side screen and begins recording. He rotates around the group, filming each and every person and scenery.

PAGE
Umm, so why did we come here again?

QUENTIN
Just to have a little fun, to hang out.

HALEY
(To Michael)
Oh great, you brought you little sister along?

Quentin closes in on Haley with the video camera.

QUENTIN
So we have a feisty one in the group tonight.

HALEY
Bite me, Quentin.

MICHAEL
Look I had to drag my sister along because my mom doesn’t know I’m here.

Stacey faces the amusement park. Michael stands next to her.

STACEY
I can’t believe you brought them with us.

MICHAEL
Look just stay away from them for the rest of the day and it’d all be good.

STACEY
Sure, whatever.

Stacey walks over to Michael’s car and takes out her iPod. She puts the headphones in her ears and begins listening to rock music blasting from the headphones.

EXT. PARK ENTRANCE – DAY

They walk up to the park entrance, Quentin with his video camera, Greg with a large, black soccer bag, and the rest staring at the inside of the park.

QUENTIN
(Recording)
Well? We ready?

INT. PARK ENTRANCE – DAY

The black soccer bag is thrown onto the dirty ground and feet drop down next to it. It’s Michael’s feet. He picks up the bag as the rest begin climbing over a wall.

Page is the second to last to jump to the ground, but Haley sits on the brick wall, looking down at Greg.

HALEY
(Preppy)
Um, Greg? Hello?

Greg looks up at Haley and he holds out his arms. She slips off the wall and into his arms and gently sets her down on her feet.

Quentin takes a few steps forward, still recording. Carey walks up next to him, her arms folded.

QUENTIN
Pretty spooky when no one else is around, huh?

CAREY
I don’t see what’s so creepy about it. I mean, all it is is an empty amusement park. What could go wrong?

They all form a line, side by side, staring at the outstretched street that leads into the depths of the amusement park.

GREG
(Excited)
Alright! So which ride are we gonna ride first?

INT. ROLLER COASTER LOADING STATION – DAY

Quentin stands at the control panel while the rest sit in the train, holding on to the harnesses.

PAGE
Quentin, are you sure you know how to work this thing?

QUENTIN
Page, dear, I’ve worked in this place for two and a half years working every single ride. I know how to work everything.

MICHAEL
Yeah? And how many people died during those two years?

QUENTIN
Surprisingly, none.

Quentin starts the ride and they begin to climb up the first hill.

Page and Haley sit in the front, Greg in the third cart, Carey in the fourth cart, and Michael and Stacey in the second to last cart.

The train drops down the steep hill, heading for the first loop. Page and Haley hold their hands up, Page’s left arm intertwined with Haley’s right arm, screaming.

Greg “woots” as they descend down the hill towards the loop, and Michael and Stacey don’t scream, as if they are board of the ride.

They circle through the loop and continue with the ride, Quentin video taping everything.

EXT. ROLLER COASTER – DAY

They get off one by one, Page and Haley first. They walk down the exit ramp and towards the bathrooms.

PAGE
I have to pee. Haley, come with me.

HALEY
I don’t need to go. You go by yourself.

PAGE
No you’re coming with me! I don’t want to go in there alone. Who knows what could be crawling around in there?

HALEY
Well if there is something crawling around in there then there’s no way in hell I’m going in there!

MICHAEL
Can you just hurry it up, please?

CAREY
(Solving the problem)
I’ll go in there.

GREG
Let’s go on Destination: Hell next.

CAREY
You all go ahead. We’ll meet you all up.

Page and Carey walk into the bathroom, the door squeaking as they open it, and letting out a long, continuous squeak as it slowly closes behind them. The group walks off.

INT. BATHROOM – DAY

Page walks into a stall and locks the door while Carey sits on the sinks, facing the stall Page is in.

The bathroom has brown stains where the wall meets the floor and one of the bathroom stall’s doors has fallen off its hinges and is lying on the floor.

The mirrors are cracked and the lights are flickering once in a while, casting a malevolent glow over Carey. She looks up in suspicion before Page interrupts the silence.

PAGE
I can’t believe they dragged us here.

CAREY
(Snapping out of trance)
Huh?

PAGE
The guys bringing us here. This is so stupid.

CAREY
I guess so, but we get to ride for free.

PAGE
Half of the rides here barely even work. What’s the use?

CAREY
Well I guess it’s Quentin and Greg’s idea to sneak in here and try to have a fun time.

PAGE
Greg’s great isn’t he?

CAREY
He’s alright. He can get a little crazy sometimes.

PAGE
That’s what makes him a great boyfriend. I mean, he has the looks, the personality, the body...

Carey rolls her eyes and steps down off the counter. Page walks out of stall and washes her hands while staring at herself in the mirror. The lights begin to flicker again.

PAGE
This amusement park is one giant shit hole.

She walks out, leaving Carey in the bathroom. Light shines in as Page opens the door, but soon darkens when the door shuts.

An almost silent growl is heard, and then breathing. Carey’s hairs on her arms erect themselves. She nervously walks backwards to the door and pushes herself against the wall.

The lights farthest away from her suddenly flicker and go out, buzzing slightly. The lights after that do the same. Each light shuts off and Care’s breathing becomes uneasy.

The lights above her are the only ones lighting up the now dark bathroom. She slides her hands across the door and barely touches the handle when the lights above her burst, sending sparks into the air, and rain down on her.

She screams and pulls the door open and bolts out. The door shuts and all the lights except for the ones Carey was standing under turn back on by themselves. The mirrors slowly form cracks in them. The cracks spell out the word “Kill”.

EXT. DESTINATION: HELL – DAY

Michael and Quentin stand at the control panel. Quentin holds his camera aside and points at all the buttons. He pushes one and the lift slowly descends towards the bottom of the tower.

He pushes another button and the seat restraints pop up, Haley, Greg, and Stacey, getting on.

QUENTIN
You push this green button right here to start the ride and go on from there.

MICHAEL
Are all the rides controlled like this?

QUENTIN
Pretty much.
(Beat)
Here.
(Hands him video camera)
Video tape us.

MICHAEL
(Takes camera)
You know, you can be a big pain in the ass sometimes.

QUENTIN
Hey, that’s what friends are for.

Quentin gets in his seat and pulls down the restraints. Michael is about to push the green button when Quentin stops him.

QUENTIN
Hey, hey, hey lock the restraints first! I don’t want to go flying out of here.

MICHAEL
Sorry.

Michael locks the seats and pushes the green button. The ride begins to ascend slowly towards the top.

Carey and Page walk up Michael, Page smacking her gum and Carey walking with her hands in her pockets.

PAGE
You couldn’t wait for us?

MICHAEL
You took too long in the bathroom. I can’t help it if you stare at yourself in the mirror all the time.

Page mocks him by making a stupid face resembling him and mouths ‘stare at yourself in the mirror all the time’.

CAREY
Whatever.

EXT. LIFT – DAY

The lift gets to the top of the tower and Haley looks down at the ground. It’s a hypnotizing sight. She swings her legs wildly back and forth.

STACEY
(Looking down)
Oh wow, oh God.

GREG
Woo! It’s the thrill of a lifetime, baby!

PAGE (O.S.)
(Annoyed, yet, playfully)
Shut up, Greg!

The lift drops about a foot before it screeches to a stop. Everyone is jerked to the bottom of their seats. The sound of creaking metal is heard.

GREG
What the hell, man?

QUENTIN
(To Michael)
Hey Michael! What’s going on?!

Suddenly, the lift drops at an amazing speed, having the four float in their seats.

EXT. DESTINATION: HELL – DAY

Michael videotapes while Carey and Page watch.

INSERT – VIDEO CAMERA SCREEN

The lift is going down and then jerks to a stop. It speeds back up again.

MICHAEL
What the hell?

The lift begins to rise to the top.

EXT. LIFT – DAY

Greg looks above and sees the top getting closer.

GREG
We’re not stopping!

STACEY
Get us off!

The lift comes to a sudden stop again, everyone hitting their shoulders against their shoulder restraints. A couple of bolts shoot out from their restraints.

EXT. DESTINATION: HELL – DAY

The bolds smash into the ground, bouncing back up, dinging each time they hit the concrete. A few of the bolts land next to Carey’s feet.

She looks down and sees the bolts, and realized where they came from. Nervously, she looks up at Michael.

CAREY
Michael...

Michael looks at her, and then down at her feet and see the bolts.

EXT. LIFT – DAY

The lift remains at the very top of the tower. Haley looks down, swinging her feet. She gasps and clenches on to her restraint.

Quentin shakes on his restraints, hyperventilating. Another bolt pops out. He sees it drop below.

QUENTIN
My restraints are loose!

Everyone else checks theirs.

HALEY
Oh my God mine too!

The lift drops. Everyone screams as they fly down the tower, the restraints getting looser. The lift finally slows down at the bottom, about four feet above the ground.

As it stalls, Michael and Carey run over while Page stands back. Greg is the first to break his restraint to where he is able to get out.

He jumps off and begins to get Haley out. Carey pulls Quentin out of his seat when the lift begins to slowly go up.

The wires spark and Michael tries pulling Stacey out.

STACEY
I’m stuck!

Michael pulls as hard as he can.

STACEY
Get me out!

Metal creaks as the lift inches its way up, and finally, it bolts up to the top...

...just as Michael gets Stacey out of her seat. They fall to the ground and Michael quickly grabs Stacey, holding her tightly to him.

The lift smashes into the top of the tower, pieces of the ride blasting off the lift, including shoulder restraints. The pieces fall to the ground.

GREG
(Outraged)
What the hell was up with that?

MICHAEL
(Still holding Stacey)
I didn’t do anything, that ride is just fucked up.

HALEY
That ride almost got us killed. No wonder this place was shut down.

Quentin briskly walks past Michael and picks up his camera, brushing dirt off of it, and turning it off.

QUENTIN
(Laidback)
Whatever. We needed some thrills to our lives anyway. Like you said, Greg, it was the thrill of a lifetime.

Greg shoots him a glare and Michael helps Stacey up.

MICHAEL
Are you okay?

STACEY
Yeah, just a little shaken up, that’s all.

PAGE
Is anyone else hungry?

QUENTIN
Yeah let’s grab something to eat and try to calm down after what just happened...

They walk away from Destination: Hell.

EXT. RESTAURANT – DAY

They walk to a burger joint and walk in, the door squeaking as they each push it open themselves.

INT. RESTAURANT – DAY

The place is pretty rundown, with the chairs on the tables with a few cobwebs tangled in the legs, the counter with a layer of dust covering it, and most of the tiles cracked.

Greg tries to turn on the lights, but they don’t even flicker.

Quentin walks over to the freezer and opens it up. All the ice has melted, but the patties are still preserved. He pulls them out along with some buns, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.

QUENTIN
Anyone know how to make a burger?

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

The group is sitting around a large, tin trash can with fire blazing out of it. They each throw a piece of trash into the fire.

PAGE
God, I feel like a homeless person.

Beat.

GREG
Jesus, what was up with that ride today?

MICHAEL
I tried stopping it but it wouldn’t.

QUENTIN
Like it has a mind of its own!

His eyes get wide and he lets out a loud moan.

HALEY
Quentin you’re such a prick.

MICHAEL
It looked like someone— or something— was controlling it.

QUENTIN
Well let’s take a looksy shall we?

He pulls out his video camera and rewinds it to the accident.

INSERT – CAMERA SCREEN

Everyone surrounds the camera as they watch the lift climb up to the top of the tower. Quentin turns up the volume on it and that is when the ride begins to go insane. Their screams are heard from the top of the tower.

GREG (O.S.)
Jesus Christ...

The ride continues to go berserk until the screen cuts to static. A loud groan is heard in the background.

MICHAEL
This didn’t happen when I was video taping...

In the static, a hideous face appears, screaming. It’s a creature not from this world, and it makes everyone jump back.

QUENTIN
Holy shit!

The static disappears and the groan leaves, going back to the regular video. A gray blur wraps around the tower for about two seconds before it disappears.

CAREY
Wait what was that?

GREG
What was what?

CAREY
Rewind.

Quentin rewinds the tape and plays it again. The gray blur wraps around the tower again.

CAREY
Okay, stop.
(Beat)
What is that?

The gray blur comes through, clearing up, showing a body of a creature. The creature’s legs look strong and are at the bottom of the screen. Spiraling up, the creature turns out to have wings and sharp claws, grabbing onto the lift. The face is the same hideous face that broke through the static earlier.

QUENTIN
What is it?

PAGE
Ugh, it’s disgusting.

They stare at the screen, rewinding and playing again. The same noises are heard.

A CREATURE’S POV

The creature moves across the pavement, brisk and smooth, like water. It moves towards the trashcan with the fire blazing out of it. The creature backs away, staring at the fire with awe.

Suddenly, it ferociously rams into the trashcan.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

The quick——almost invisible——creature hits the trashcan over, blowing burning pieces of trash out at the group. The blazing fireballs fly past the group as they dodge them.

A burning paper wrapper flies onto Page’s shoulder, catching her tank top on fire, searing her skin. She screams and falls backwards, trying to pat out the fire.

Greg quickly rushes over to her and pats the fire out. She whimpers and is helped up by Greg. Her shoulder is very red with a few black burns, and her tank top is halfway off.

GREG
We need to get her ice!

They get up, Carey and Michael stomping out the rest of the burning debris.

INT. RESTAURANT – NIGHT

They rush around the room as Greg sets Page on the counter. Haley and Quentin open up freezer doors and cabinets, while Stacey stands at the door, confused and stunned at the same time.

QUENTIN
There’s no ice.

HALEY
Check the ice dispenser from the fountain sodas. I’ll look for some plastic bags.

Quentin presses a button on the ice dispenser and only a few ice cubes drop out. Haley walks next to him with a plastic bag. They put the ice in the bag and she quickly ties it up, handing it to Page.

Page presses the ice down on her shoulder, whimpering and twitching, but soon calming down. Greg holds on to her securely.

Michael and Carey walk in, Michael standing next to Stacey and Carey walking over to the counter.

CAREY
Are you going to be all right?

PAGE
Yeah I think I’ll be fine.

STACEY
(Under her breath)
It’s not like the end of the world.

PAGE
What?

STACEY
(Acting like nothing happened)
What?

PAGE
What did you just say?

STACEY
Nothing...

HALEY
Just tell her what you said, dim wad.

STACEY
I said it wasn’t the end of the world for her. Nothing personal.

HALEY
She just got second degree burns and you don’t even care?

MICHAEL
Can we please calm——

STACEY
All I am saying is that it’s just a little burn. I was stuck on the free fall ride and I could have been killed. She’s just suffering from a burn that will heal over in a few weeks.

HALEY
I was stuck on that ride also and do you see me complaining?

STACEY
And yet you’re freaking out about something that didn’t even happen to you, but to your bitch!

MICHAEL
Stacey——!

HALEY
Well at least I don’t cut myself to save me from all my little depressing events.

Everyone falls silent. Stacey’s eyes get wide as they tear up, and Michael looks over at her. Haley folds her arms, biting her tongue.

Stacey looks at Michael and a tear streams down her cheek, dropping from her chin.

MICHAEL
Stacey, is that true?

Stacey’s bottom lip quivers and she storms out of the restaurant, followed by Michael. Everyone stares at Haley.

HALEY
What?

CAREY
Now you’ve done it.

Carey walks out of the restaurant.

EXT. RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Stacey walks quicker and quicker, but Michael finally catches up to her. Carey keeps her distance away from the two.

MICHAEL
I’m not mad, Stacey, just tell me if it’s true or not.

Beat.

MICHAEL
Please. I need to know. You’re my little sister.

Stacey sighs and turns around, pulling up her sleeve and exposing dozens of scratches on her arm, old and fresh ones.

STACEY
I’m...I’m sorry, Michael.

MICHAEL
Why?

STACEY
Ever since dad left, our lifestyle has become a living hell. I couldn’t take it anymore.

MICHAEL
That doesn’t mean that you have to put your life on the line.

STACEY
I couldn’t handle it. After dad left, mom would always lie in her bed and get wasted. I tried helping her, but soon she acted like she didn’t even care about us.
(Beat)
Which soon made me care less about myself also.

MICHAEL
Does mom know about this?

STACEY
No. Nobody does except for all of us here.

MICHAEL
Stacey, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could have helped you.

STACEY
I thought you’d be mad at me.

MICHAEL
You know I wouldn’t get mad at you when it comes to this kind of stuff.
(Beat)
I love you, and I’m supposed to watch over you. To protect you.

Stacey and Michael stare at each other. More tears cascade down her face and she quickly runs to Michael, squeezing him. HE holds her tightly to him, caressing her head, trying to hold back the tears.

STACEY
I’m so sorry, Michael. I’ve tried to stop...

MICHAEL
It’s okay, I’m here, and I won’t let go.

INT. RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Greg lays his head on Page’s, rubbing her arm. She takes the ice off her shoulder revealing bumpy, dead skin. Haley takes in a deep breath and slowly lets it out.

HALEY
What have I done?

PAGE
I’m not, like, trying to be a rebel here or whatever, but I sort of think you went off the deep end there, Haley.

HALEY
All right, Page, drop it. I feel guilty enough.

Haley walks out of the restaurant.

GREG
Wow, I’m glad I wasn’t a part of that.

PAGE
Greg...shut up...

GREG
What? I am! Anyways, how’s you’re shoulder?

PAGE
A little better.
(Looking at him)
I think I need you to kiss it to make it feel better.

GREG
Oh so it looks like we’ve turned from the hurt Page to the sexy Page.

They giggle and kiss. Page lays down on the counter and they begin to make out.

QUENTIN
Okay, yeah, so I am going to get some fresh air. Uh, yeah, see you later?

EXT. RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Haley walks up to Stacey and Michael, ignoring Carey. She takes another deep breath and gathers some courage.

HALEY
Stacey...
(Beat and sighs)
...I don’t know what came over me...
(Looking at Michael)
...And I wanted to say I’m sorry...

Stacey scratches her head and sniffs, wiping away her tear. She walks over to Haley.

STACEY
It’s just been a big problem for a few years and I really need help. That wasn’t something I deserved, and yet it is.
(Beat)
I’m sorry also.

They smile, and Stacey quickly turns around, wiping her nose.

Quentin walks up to Haley and puts his arm over her shoulder.

QUENTIN
So, uh, Haley, while “Dharma and Greg” get it goin’ on in there, hows about you and me get it goin’ on, over there?
(Points in a different direction)

He uses his fingers to do quotation mark signals when saying the words “Dharma and Greg”, but Haley sincerely takes his arm off her shoulder and pats him on the chest.

HALEY
Take a breath mint and then I will consider thinking about it.

Michael and Carey laugh at Quentin’s attempt, and soon they stare past Quentin and Haley and begin to look at each other.

Carey bows her head, smiling, but still looking up, while Michael sticks his hands in his pockets and kicks at the ground.

Greg and Page walk out of the Restaurant, holding hands. Page still holds the ice bag to her shoulder.

GREG
So are we going to go on another ride or what?

EXT. SWINGS – NIGHT

The ride is still except for the slight movements of the swings as the breeze pushes them back and forth continuously.

They hop over the gate and Quentin walks up to the control panel, setting his video camera on it.

INT. SWINGS – NIGHT

QUENTIN
So you want to go on this ride, Michael?

MICHAEL
Sure.

Everyone gets on the swing ride except for Quentin, keeping themselves only a few swings apart. Once everyone is seated, Quentin pushes the start button and the swing ride begins to lift up, everyone’s feet coming off the ground.

The ride begins to rotate and lights light up the area. The ride spins faster to where they are at the right speed.

GREG
Hey can this thing go any faster?

QUENTIN
No this is as fast as it can go!

Michael looks down at his feet.

MICHAEL’S POV

His feet dangle above the ground. He looks over to his right and everything, the trees, the buildings, and other rides, are a blur.

INT. SWINGS – NIGHT

The ride continues to rotate, the metal creaking and the lights flashing once in a while. Soon, the flashing gets stronger, to where it acts like a strobe light.

The ride begins to rotate faster and the swings get to a steeper angle. Carey looks over to her left at the ride and sees mirrors on it. She sees her reflection in the mirrors when suddenly another creature that looks almost like the other on the camera engulfs the mirror.

She gasps and looks in front of her. The empty seat in front of her begins to rattle and the swing begins to jolt around. Soon, her swings begins to do the same as the ride gains more speed.

A loud screech is heard coming from the ride and the ride explodes into sparks. Quentin shields his eyes as sparks rain down to the ground.

Everyone begins to scream and the ride begins to tilt. Stacey misses the ground by only feet and is thrown back up into the air.

Suddenly, a seat breaks off its chains and is hurled through the air, landing in a tree. Another seat breaks off with its chains, hitting Greg in the chest and the chain wraps around his neck.

Quentin runs over to the control panel, but sparks spray from the inside, keeping him from going near the controls. His camera falls off, but he catches it before it hits the ground.

Another seat flies off and hits Quentin, sending him back onto the ground.

Haley looks up to see her chains beginning to snap off and she hangs on tightly, closing her eyes, screaming. Her seat snaps off, and she flies through the air and lands on the ground, rolling into the metal gate.

PAGE
Haley!

The metal gears pop out of place and sparks fill up the inside of the ride near the machinery. The ride begins to tilt over even more.

A whole group of seats break off the ride, including Greg’s, Carey’s, and Stacey’s. They crash into the ground and quickly roll away before more seats swoop over them.

The ride’s lights explode and the base of the ride begins to break apart from the ground. Michael quickly attempts to get out of his seat, but his foot gets stuck.

The ride smashes into the ground, still rotating, glass shards flying in all directions. Everyone gets up and try dodging oncoming swings.

Michael gets his foot out of the swing and flies onto the ground, inches from getting crushed by the ride.

Metal poles pop out of place as the ride continues to rotate, dragging Page across the ground, and throwing her back up into the air.

Greg dives in to try and save her as the others quickly get out of the way of the swings and the sparks. Greg pushes oncoming swings out of the way. He sees Page and quickly grabs her swing, holding it still as long as he can.

Page attempts to get out and she finally gets herself free, falling to the ground.

GREG
Come on!

Haley runs up to the ride, looking for Page.

HALEY
Page?!

CAREY
Haley get back!

Page runs over to Haley with Greg right behind her. Just as the two get there, the ride shifts closer to the three, and a one of the metal poles sticking out of the ride slices through Haley’s abdomen.

Blood sprays on Page and Greg as Haley’s top half hooks onto the metal pole. Her legs go limp and fall to the ground.

They all scream, Page and Greg backing away as far as they can. Page looks at her arms and chest, trying to clean the blood off of her.

The ride comes to a stop, all the lights flickering off and soon, everything is quiet again except for the gasps and screams coming from the others.

Page screams and runs out of the ride area, Greg running after her. Quentin runs out, and soon they all leave the area.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Page runs down the pathway but trips over herself and falls to the ground. Greg runs over to her and kneels down next to her.

PAGE
Oh my God! That didn’t just happen!

Michael looks back and sees Haley’s lifeless top half hanging from the pole.

INT. SWINGS – NIGHT

The ride suddenly jolts, rotating a little. Haley’s top half of her body slides off the pole and splats on the ground, blood pouring from her mouth.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael covers his mouth to keep him from throwing up and he looks away. Stacey clings on to him and he holds her close to him.

GREG
Shit man! What the fuck!

MICHAEL
(Quentin)
What the hell happened with that ride?

QUENTIN
I didn’t do anything!

CAREY
Well we couldn’t say that ride is haunted, Quentin, something had to go wrong!

QUENTIN
Maybe it was a malfunction of the ride, like Destination: Hell!

MICHAEL
That couldn’t have been just a simple malfunction, Haley just died on that ride!

PAGE
I can’t believe she’s dead!

GREG
I’m getting out of here. I’m leaving and I’m just going to forget about this whole thing——

PAGE
We just can’t leave her here! What are we going to tell her parents?

MICHAEL
What are we going to tell all of our parents?

A loud roar rumbles through the amusement park, making six jump. They look back at the swing ride and see the creature controlling that ride swim around the broken metal.

QUENTIN
Jesus Christ!

The creature stares at them, its nose curling up to reveal its gums and sharp, silver teeth dripping with almost transparent saliva.

Michael and Stacey begin to back away and the creature crashes into the ground, sending up a shockwave towards the group. A wave of concrete and dirt roll towards them and they try backing away.

The wave hits them, sending all six of them back. They fall to the ground and look up and see that the creature has disappeared. So has Haley’s body.

They get up, staring at the ride, confused and still shaken. Quentin has his camera out, recording the entire thing. He moves the camera around, trying to catch any more movement.

STACEY
Where did Haley’s body go?

Greg quickly gets up.

GREG
I’m not waiting to find out.

He helps Page up.

GREG
Come on, Page, we’re getting out of here.

Page, still crying, begins walking away with Greg.

MICHAEL
Stay close to me, Stacey.

Stacey clings on to him and he keeps his arm around her. Carey follows behind them.

The group walks through the streets of the amusement park, observing everything they see with caution. Quentin continues to record everything.

QUENTIN
We are going to get out of here alive, right?

PAGE
Why would you think we aren’t?

QUENTIN
Well, these things, whatever they are, are chasing us or something.
(Beat)
I think they’re the ones that are making these rides go crazy.

MICHAEL
Yeah but what are they?

Quentin rewinds the tape in his video camera back to the free fall ride accident. He pauses it when the creature whirls around the tower.

QUENTIN
Look at it. They look like something you’d see out of a horror movie.

Everyone looks at the screen.

CAREY
Or a demon.

Everyone looks at Carey. She takes a step back and folds her arms.

CAREY
Just look at it. Now, I don’t know my mythology or whatever, but I’d say that judging by the physical feature...the teeth, the eyes, etcetera...it looks pretty much to me like a demon.

GREG
Wait, if this was a “demon” or whatever, why would they be terrorizing a theme park?

MICHAEL
Kind of like asking why they are here in the first place.

Everyone looks at one another. Page takes in a deep breath and looks at her burnt shoulder. She looks at her bloodstained arms and sighs.

PAGE
I’m going to wash myself off before we leave. I just want to get out of here.

Before anyone can say anything, she walks off into the girls bathroom.

INT. BATHROOM – NIGHT

She flips the light switch, but only a couple of lights flicker on. She walks over to the sink and turns on the water and begins cleaning herself.

The blood washes off of her arms and swirls down the drain. But soon, the water fills up the sink. The drain is clogged.

Page turns the water off and tries to get a good look down the drain, but can’t see anything but darkness. She sighs and moves to the next to sink.

It clogs up also. She rubs her head and looks at herself in the mirror. She has bags under her eyes and her face is red and puffy from crying. Soon, more tears form in her eyes.

PAGE
Oh, Haley...

A loud creak fills the bathroom and Page spins around, splashing water out of the sink and onto the floor. The stall nearest to the wall’s door opens, and dark, sinister breathing is heard.

She walks over to the stall slowly and peeps in, seeing nothing. The stall door next to her begins to open by itself and she backs away back to the sink. A soft growl is heard.

As Page stares at the stalls, her reflection in the mirror behind her slowly turns around. But it’s not her. It’s Haley. Her face is skeletal looking, her skin pale, and her eyes are sunken in. Her eyes are a milky gray and her veins are visible through her skin while her lips are very chapped.

Haley’s face turns from solemn to angry as her eyes roll back and her mouth opens. She punches the mirror and it cracks.

Page twirls around and screams, slipping on the water she splashed out of the sink and falling back into one of the stalls, landing on the toilet.

She sits on the toilet, looking out the stall cautiously at the broken mirror. Gathering courage, she stands up and slowly walks towards the mirror, the lights above her flickering continuously like a strobe light.

She looks at her reflection, her image now reflected four or five times in the parts of the broken mirror. She stares at her burn on her shoulder, then she looks at her face.

She has become awfully pale and the bags under her eyes had gotten darker. She stares closer at the mirror.

In a flash, her face turns into Haley’s mutilated face, the eyes still sunken in, her veins still visible, her cheek bones piercing through her skin.

Page screams and the lights go out.

EXT. BATHROOM – NIGHT

Everyone except Greg is sitting down. They hear Page scream and quickly run over to the bathroom. She runs out, pushing Greg out of the way. Michael catches her and tries to hold her still. She is incomprehensible.

MICHAEL
Page! Page what happened in there?

PAGE
I saw her! I saw her in my reflection!

GREG
Who, Page? Who did you see?

PAGE
Haley!

A burst of hurricane force winds blows through the amusement park, blowing loose objects over. Carey blocks her face as debris blows at them. Stacey screams.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

They begin running towards the entrance of the park, screaming and clinging onto each other.

INT. ENTRANCE – NIGHT

They run up to the entrance, but the entrance gates aren’t there. It’s only a tall brick wall. They stop and look at the wall, exasperated.

GREG
What the hell? Where’s the entrance?!

QUENTIN
The entrance was right here!

STACEY
We must’ve taken the wrong pathway or something.

QUENTIN
No this was the right way. I don’t know what is going on.

MICHAEL
Are you sure?

QUENTIN
I’ve worked here before I practically know where everything is.

CAREY
Is this the only way out?

Beat.

QUENTIN
Yeah. Well...it was...

GREG
Well we can get over this wall. With a ladder or something. Are there any ladders here? They would have some right? To reach high parts or rides to fix?

QUENTIN
If they did, then I wouldn’t know where to find one.

PAGE
I thought you said you knew——

QUENTIN
Okay so I lied a little bit. I’m just scared okay? I have no idea what is going on here.

MICHAEL
Neither do we, but you have to tell us where we could find something to help us get out of here.

GREG
Well I’m going to find a way out of here no matter what it takes.

Greg walks away from the “entrance” and walks back into the depths of the amusement park. The rest quickly follow behind him, making sure they don’t get separated.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Carey walks up to Quentin and begins walking beside him.

CAREY
Aren’t there lower, chain-linked fences that we are able to just climb over?

QUENTIN
Yeah but they’re way back in the park.

CAREY
It’s better than nothing, Quentin, we have to get out of here before we’re all killed.

QUENTIN
I’m not going back there. Who knows what kind of “creatures” are there?

MICHAEL
Well we might as well take our chances.

EXT. SHED – NIGHT

They come up to a large, metal shed with no windows. The roof is flat and the door is wooden.

MICHAEL
You think they’d have something useful in here?

QUENTIN
There’s only one way to find out.

Quentin begins to walk towards the door.

STACEY
Whatever, I’m not looking in there.

QUENTIN
You don’t have too. We just need to take a flashlight and see what we find in there.

Quentin sets the black bag down and opens it up. He searches around in it until he finds a large, metallic flashlight. He switches it on and it shines in Carey’s face. She uses her hand to block the light.

Greg walks over to the door and puts his hand on the handle. Breathing deeply, he nods at Quentin. Quentin nods back.

Expecting nothing, Greg swings the door open, only to have Haley’s dead body swing out forward, hanging on the ceiling. He face has become completely distorted to where is almost unrecognizable.

Everyone jumps back, screaming. Quentin throws the flashlight up into the air and it lands on the ground, shattering.

Page, startled the most, runs away from the shed. Greg does the same, except running the opposite way from the shed. Stacey covers her ears and shuts her eyes, drowning out the sight and sounds.

MICHAEL
Greg!

Greg disappears into the darkness. Page is nowhere to be seen.

Carey quickly runs to the door and slams it shut, pushing against it and falling to the ground, sobbing.

STACEY
(Eyes closed, ears covered)
This isn’t happening...this isn’t happening...

CAREY
What are we going to do?

MICHAEL
Page and Greg are gone. We have to find them before they’re killed.

QUENTIN
Oh no, no, no, no there is no way I am moving from this spot.

CAREY
We have to, Quentin, they’re our friends!

EXT. BUMPER CARS – NIGHT

Greg twirls around, looking around him, making sure nothing is following him. He looks at all the deserted rides and begins to hyperventilate.

He sees the bumper cars and walks over to them. Finding nothing, he walks into the queue line covered by darkness. He slowly walks towards the entrance of the bumper car arena and leans over the gate, looking out towards the cars, spread out across the runway.

A sudden buzzing like electricity startles Greg. He looks up at the ceiling and the bumper cars begin to move, the long poles rising from the rears of the cars wiggle, the electrical contacts at their tips creating sparks as they roll around.

A light above Greg bursts, sparks raining down on top of him. The light fixture breaks off the ceiling and swings down, hitting Greg on his back.

He flips over the railing and lands in an abandoned bumper car. He quickly sits in the upright position in his seat, trying to steer around, but the bumper car acts like it has a mind of its own.

The bumper cars go faster, and one rams into Greg’s car, throwing him to the side. Another one hits the other side of him, tossing him around like a rag doll.

EXT. SHED – NIGHT

Carey is standing next to Quentin while Michael and Stacey stick next to each other.

MICHAEL
You two go look for Greg. We’ll find Page. When you find him, come back here and wait for us.

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Page walks down a long, dark corridor, gliding her hands against the black walls.

PAGE
Oh my God, what have I done?

INT. BUMPER CARS – NIGHT

Greg tries his best to hang onto his bumper car as the others smash into his sides at amazing speeds, denting the metal.

He is able to grab a hold of his seatbelt and he fastens it, hanging on for dear life. The pole at the rear of his car begins to wiggle violently as if it’s about to snap off.

Greg looks up and sees one of the creatures, still similar to the first two, crawling like a lizard on the ceiling, unaffected by the electrical charges spreading across the ceiling.

The creature looks down at him, its eyes glowing a fiery red-orange, almost hypnotizing.

The creature gets up on its haunches, with gravity having no effect on it, and it brings its front legs back down on the ceiling with tremendous force.

An electrical shockwave effects all the bumper cars, making them go crazy like ants being shaken in a shoebox. Greg’s bumper car smashes into the wall, his seatbelt snapping. He flies out and lands on the runway, his bumper car totaled.

All the bumper cars begin to move towards Greg. One bumper car is about to hit him, but Greg dives out of the way, the bumper car smashing into the wall. Another one attempts to hit him, but he rolls out of the way again, the bumper car smashing into the wall and flipping over.

Pieces of debris scatter out across the runway as more and more bumper cars attempt to run him over, either crashing into the wall or into each other.

Greg stands up, about to run out of the runway, when a bumper car runs over him. There’s a sickening crunch as Greg’s legs snap and he flies into the seat of the bumper car. His head hangs over the back of the car, hanging onto the pole.

The bumper car runs into the wall and stops. Greg, thinking the terror is over, looks up, only to see the creature standing at the other end of the runway with a bumper car in its claws.

The creature roars and throws the bumper car towards Greg. The bumper car rolls down the runway, metal and plastic flying off of it.

Greg begins to push himself up, but his hands slip on the pole. The flipping bumper car is only feet away from Greg’s car.

He screams, but is then stopped when the bumper car smashes into the back of his, crushing his head, brains and blood splattering on the wall and on the totaled and crashed bumper cars.

All the other cars stop and remain still, the electrical currents disappearing, and so does the creature.

EXT. BUMPER CARS – NIGHT

Quentin and Carey walk towards the area where the bumper cars are. Quentin has his video camera out and recording.

CAREY
Do you have to carry that thing around everywhere we go?

QUENTIN
What’s wrong with that?

CAREY
Quentin, one of our friends is dead and two more are missing, and you’re worried about getting your “documentary” done more than your friends’ lives?

QUENTIN
I’m not worried about this. It’s just something I was born to do. Besides, I care about my friends more than I care about some stupid documentary that I do for fun sometimes. But now, it’s serious.

CAREY
Whatever. Can you just please stop recording for five seconds of your life?

QUENTIN
(Stopping)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what’s that?

CAREY
What’s what?

They look at the bumper car arena. Smoke is billowing out of it. The cars are still visible inside.

QUENTIN
That just happened, right?

CAREY
It had to. Let’s go check it out.

QUENTIN
I ain’t checking that out.

CAREY
Greg could be in there, Quentin!

QUENTIN
Yeah? And what if he isn’t? What if it’s one of those things?

CAREY
Okay you can stay here alone. I’m going to see if Greg is in there. He might be hurt.

Carey walks away and Quentin stops recording.

QUENTIN
What the hell?
(Beat)
Okay, I’m coming.

They walk over to the bumper cars and look in, waving the smoke out of their faces.

CAREY
I can’t see anything.

QUENTIN
(Zooming in to the arena)
Neither can I.

Carey hops over the wall and Quentin stops returning, his mouth agape.

QUENTIN
What are you doing?

CAREY
I’m going to see if Greg is in here. Come help me.

QUENTIN
I already told you I’m not going in there.

Casey sighs and begins walking across the arena. She stares at the crumpled up bumper cars, trying to see any sign of Greg.

She walks over to the bumper car crashed into the wall and the bumper car crumpled up against the crashed car. She sees arms...and then legs...and the blood.

She looks closer and pulls the bumper car away. Greg’s smashed head hangs off the back of the car. Carey gasps and covers her mouth.

QUENTIN
What is it?!

CAREY
It’s Greg!

QUENTIN
Is he okay?

CAREY
He’s dead, Quentin!

QUENTIN
Shit. Let’s get out of here before something worse happens!

As Carey walks back to the wall next to Quentin, one of the bumper car’s electrical contacts creates a blue spark. Carey’s walk turns into a jog and the bumper car begins to roll down the runway.

The other cars begin to move also. They race towards Carey who looks behind and sees the cars coming towards her.

QUENTIN
Carey!

Quentin sets his camera down on the wall, accidentally hitting the record button. The camera faces Carey running down the runway.

Quentin jumps over and grabs Carey’s hand. They reach the wall, but another bumper car blocks their path, surprising them. Quentin jumps over the bumper car and flips over the wall, landing on the concrete on his back.

Care falls onto the runway. She backs away against the wall, scared stiff. The bumper cars shoot towards her. Just as she is about to get it, Quentin grabs her and pulls her over the wall.

The bumper cars smash into the wall, creating a pile up, sparks spraying over the wall and onto the concrete. Their poles snap off and fly onto Carey and Quentin, who are covering their faces.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael and Stacey are now spaced apart, looking in buildings and between restaurants, looking for Page. Michael is carrying the black bag and he unzips it.

He searches through it, trying to look for another flashlight. He reaches the bottom of the bag and he gets a concerned expression on his face.

MICHAEL
Where the hell are all the flashlights?

He picks up the bag and holds it upside down, spilling out all its contents: a few cans of beer, magazines, etc.

There’s a loud growl and Michael spins around, dropping the bag and pushing away the contents. He looks at his surroundings. There’s no trace of Stacey.

MICHAEL
Stacey?

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Page has fallen asleep, her head slumped forward and her left leg under the right.

EXT. MERRY-GO-ROUND – NIGHT

Stacey walks up to the ride, the horses and other animals seem to stare at her every time she passes.

She walks up to the middle of the ride where mirrors reflect everything off of them, creating an allusion where there seem to me more animals in the reflection then in the real world.

She brings her fingers down on the mirror and begins sobbing over the loss of her two dead friends. She opens her eyes and immediately glances at the scars on her wrists.

Suddenly, one of her scars splits open, and blood beings to slowly leak out. Another one rips open, blood squirting on the mirror. She begins to hyperventilate, taking her hand off the mirror and looking at the underside of her arms.

The scars on both of her arms and wrists begins splitting open, as if an invisible knife is slicing through her skin every second. She begins crying harder, closing her eyes, telling herself it’s just her imagination.

She opens her eyes back up and blood sprays on her face. She screams and wipes the blood off, her arms and hands painted with her own blood.

She looks up at her reflection. Behind her, one of the statue animals move, its head turning towards her, looking at her with dead eyes.

More animals turn their heads towards her, paint chipping off of their necks and bodies, the sounds of crunching bones fills the dead air as they all stare at her.

QUENTIN (O.S.)
Stacey!

Stacey twirls around and sees Quentin running up to the Merry-Go-Round. She looks at her wrists and, amazingly, the gashes are gone, and have reduced back to scars.

STACEY
Oh my God...
(To Quentin)
Quentin! They’re making us see what we don’t want to see! They’re bringing our fears to life!

Quentin stops in his tracks and stares at Stacey. One of the creatures jumps out of a carriage on the Merry-Go-Round, ramming into Stacey.

She screams as she is pushed into the mirrors, the glass shattering and falling on her. All the mirrors shatter, the lights on the Merry-Go-Round flash on, and the ride begins rotating simultaneously.

Quentin is speechless. He staggers back and runs away as loud, carnival music plays. As if set off by the music, every light turns on in the amusement park.

The rides begin starting up by themselves, the Ferris wheel rotating, all the lights and oven blasting on in restaurants, and the lights in the Funhouse turn on, waking Page up.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael twirls around, startled by the flashing lights and loud sounds. Strobe lights create an effect of shadows spinning around him, and he begins to get dizzy, staggering back and forth.

He runs towards the sound of the Merry-Go-Round music, dragging the black bag along with him. He runs up tot he Merry-Go-Round and sees it working perfectly except for the fact that the mirrors in the center of the ride have been smashed to pieces.

INT. MERRY-GO-ROUND – NIGHT

He runs onto the ride and searches around and finds what he wasn’t hoping for.

Stacey, cut up from the mirrors, lies motionless on the ground, the shards of glass lying on top of her, some have even pierced through her skin.

Michael covers his mouth and looks away, walking off of the ride.

EXT. MERRY-GO-ROUND – NIGHT

He runs over to a nearby trashcan and begins coughing, grabbing onto his stomach.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Quentin slows down, catching his breath. He accidentally drops his camera. It falls on the ground and he quickly picks it up, dusting it off.

He opens up the mini TV on the side of the camera and finds the screen cracked and broken, unable to work. He curses to himself and shuts the mini TV. He turns on the camera and begins recording himself.

QUENTIN
(Panting)
I seriously have no idea what is going on here. There are these things coming after us, killing us. They’ve already killed Haley, Greg, and Stacey. Me, Carey, and Michael are the only ones left. I don’t know where Page is.
(Beat)
Stacey was telling me something before she died that they’re making us see what we don’t want to see; making our fears come true or something.
(Beat)
This is some crazy shit man. I really want to get out of here; I don’t know where anyone else is.
(Beat)
This is probably my last entry because I know that I’m not going to get out of here alive. The entrance is gone, everything is gone, and I’m just saying that I regret everything that I’ve done in the past and I know that I’m not going to be able to change it.

He shuts off his camera and looks around the amusement park.

QUENTIN
Michael! Is anyone out there?!

He looks around some more and spots a circus-like tent near him. He turns his camera back on and walks over to it, recording everything he sees.

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Page stands up, rubbing her eyes, trying to adjust to the lighting. Around her, thousands of mirrors surround her, creating a whole army of Pages.

She looks around her, slowly walking down the hallway that seems to lead to an exit of the funhouse. She stops and turns around, staring down at the other end of the hallway, her hands shaking.

She closes her eyes and holds herself. As she does this, all of her reflections turn to her, staring at her the same way the animals did at the Merry-Go-Round.

She looks up and sees her reflections staring at her. She backs away, and her reflections slowly morph into the decaying Haley. Page screams and runs down the hallway towards a door that could lead to anywhere.

She swings it open and shuts it. Looking around her, it appears she is in a torture chamber for decoration. She runs over to a coffin and opens it up. A skeletal corpse falls on top of her.

Page catches the corpse, screaming, but realizes that it’s only a dummy. She begins crying hysterically. The coffin door has real nails jammed into it, about six inches long. The door behind her opens, and Haley stands in the middle of the doorway.

HALEY
(Her voice distorted with others)
Come on, Page...join the fun...

Haley jolts forward and appears in front of Page, startling her. She falls back into the coffin, the door closing.

INT. COFFIN – NIGHT

Page screams in fear and in pain. She quickly pulls out a cigarette lighter and flicks it on. The nails are practically touching her face and body.

She whimpers and tries opening the door, but it’s stuck. She bangs on the parts where there are no nails, trying to get the door to open.

EXT. COFFIN – NIGHT

Outside, the coffin isn’t blocked by anything. Her banging begins to push the coffin forward. The coffin falls over onto the ground, Page’s screams becoming louder.

INT. COFFIN – NIGHT

The lighter is still on, and Page has nails piercing through her arms and legs. She keeps her head away from them, but some have already gone through her cheeks. She screams in agony and becomes too weak to push the casket over.

EXT. COFFIN – NIGHT

Her screams fill the funhouse. A large air conditioning tube hangs above the casket held by metal wires. They begin to untwist by themselves, loosening the tube.

The wires snap and the tube falls to the ground, landing on the casket, crushing it. Page’s screams stop, and blood forms a pool around the casket.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael runs through the park, screaming for Carey, Quentin, and Page. He throws the bag to his side to take off the extra weight and begins to run faster.

He runs up to the funhouse Page is in.

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Michael runs into the hall of mirrors, his reflection multiplying by a hundred. He shivers as he walks through the hallway, looking at each and every one of his reflections.

He walks up to a certain mirror and stares into it deeply. His reflection stares at him back, but then smiles and winks at him.

Michael takes a closer look, his reflection still smiling at him. His reflection’s arms shoot out, grabbing a hold of Michael’s arms and pulling him into the mirror.

FLASHBACK

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

It’s early evening, somewhere in the 1960s when the park was first built. Michael dissolves into the park, unnoticeable by any other people.

Everyone is speeding through the park in fast motion, leaving ghost trails behind, but Michael moves at normal speed, taking close observations around him.

A newspaper blows in front of him and he picks it up. He notices the date: June 6, 1966.

The newspaper explodes into flames and the ashes are carried off into the wind. Michael turns around to the sound of crashing and screaming.

The rides begin to explode and break apart as they have when they were there. Falling rides crush people and others fall out of taller rides such as roller coasters and Ferris wheels.

A roller coaster flies off its tracks and skids across the ground straight towards Michael.

He sees the train coming towards him and blocks his face, but the carts go right through him. He puts his arms down and realizes that all the terror is over.

Dead bodies cover the pathways of the park, rides have been torn apart, fires blaze from building to building, ride to ride.

It quickly turns to night and police officers search the area as paramedics gather the bodies. As they leave, Michael stands alone, when each ride begins to rebuild itself back together.

The clock tower in the middle of the park strikes twelve midnight and the tiny date clock changes from 6/6/66 to 6/7/66.

A blast of air blows through the park and smashes into Michael, blowing him forward in time to just last night. The rides are still together and more people have entered the park.

Another newspaper rolls in front of him. He quickly catches it and looks at the date: June 6, 2006. He begins to breathe deeply and walks around the park, still clueless of what is going on.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

REAL TIME

Carey runs through the park, tired and scared. She stops at a nearby bench and plops herself down. She groans as she rubs her foot and she takes it off, revealing multiples of busted open blisters.

She whimpers as she tries to wipe the blood away, but fails to do so and sticks her blood-stained socks back on. As she gets her shoes on, she looks up and sees Michael in a somewhat trance, walking through the park.

CAREY
Michael!

She finishes slipping her shoe back on and begins to run towards him.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

LAST NIGHT

The real Michael continues to walk through the park. He hears Carey’s voice echo through the crowd of people as she calls for him, but he doesn’t see her anywhere.

Then the rides begin to break. The same thing happens just as it did in 1966, the rides crushing people, passengers falling out of their carts, buildings going up in flames.

Then Michael sees Christina, her golden hair hiding half of her face, only showing half of the terror in her eyes. Her scarf waves in the wind and she spins around in terror.

Michael looks up just as Christina does and he sees the chairlift snapping off its supports. One of the lifts breaks off and heads down towards Christina.

Michael screams and runs towards her. He jumps at her, but goes right through her, her body crushed underneath the lift.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

REAL TIME

Carey walks up behind Michael.

CAREY
Michael where is everyone? We really have to find a way out of here, we’re all going to die!

She lays her hand on his shoulder.

MICHAEL
(Spinning around with Demonic voice)
Don’t touch me!

Carey screams as she looks at Michael’s face. His eyes have been torn out of his sockets, his jaw almost ripped off his head, and he has sharp objects protruding out of his skin.

His jaw drops to an amazing size and he screams as he disintegrates into dust and ashes.

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Michael wakes up with a jolt.

MICHAEL
(Quickly)
June 6th, 2006!

He stares up at the ceiling of the funhouse and rubs his head, smearing blood on his forehead.

His eyes become wide as he stares at his hand, the blood stained on his fingers. He sits up, realizing that the blood is coming from the room down the hallway.

Without a second thought he stands up and runs out of the funhouse.

EXT. RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Carey runs around a restaurant and stops, leaning against the wall. Above her is an open window. She covers her face and breathes deeply to keep her from crying when a hand grabs her shoulder from the window.

She gasps and turns around and sees Michael standing behind the window. Michael walks out of the restaurant through the backdoor and Carey runs up to him and they hug tightly.

MICHAEL
She’s dead! She’s dead!

CAREY
What? Who’s dead?

MICHAEL
Stacey! She’s gone!

CAREY
Oh my God what happened?

MICHAEL
I don’t know, I saw her smashed through the mirrors on the Merry-Go-Round!

Michael calms and begins to breathe normally.

MICHAEL
Three days...

CAREY
What?

MICHAEL
Three days!

CAREY
Michael what are you talking about?

MICHAEL
For three days in June with a six as one of the last two digits in the year they come out! One of those three days has to be on the sixth of June!

CAREY
What are you talking about? What comes out?

MICHAEL
Those things! They’re demons the come out whenever the day, month, and year lines up to 666. And today is the seventh, the second day.

CAREY
How do you know all this? Why did they choose this amusement park?

MICHAEL
I’m not waiting to find out...

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

The two are walking through the park towards the entrance.

MICHAEL
I’m taking it they come here for three days, one of the days being June 6th.

CAREY
Why three?

MICHAEL
Three’s a multiple of six and if you add it with itself, it comes out as six also. Yesterday was June 6th, the park was closed the day before...Carey, I think we chose the last day they’re here.

CAREY
But why did they choose this place? Why haven’t they killed us yet?

MICHAEL
Take it as a game. Whenever a cat and bear catches something, it begins playing with it until it’s dead. Do you see it? We’re the toys and they’re the animal. They’re playing with us, watching us suffer.

CAREY
So you mean that at the end of this night, they’re going to make sure that anybody who is in here won’t get back out?

MICHAEL
Exactly.
(Looks at clock tower)
We have an hour and a half before twelve. We have to make it out before it strikes midnight.

CAREY
What about Quentin? He’s still here!

MICHAEL
Quentin? Where is he?

They look around the empty park.

INT. CIRCUS TENT – NIGHT

Quentin walks around, recording the inside of the tent with his camera. Sharp objects used for shows, such as swords, nails, and other sharp weapons, hang on the wall, slowly swinging back and forth.

Quentin slowly walks onto the stage and stares at the empty seats that would be full right now.

He raises his camera up and begins recording the empty seats. On camera, the house is full, with a person in every seat. He brings the camera away from his eye and sees that all the seats are empty.

He raises it back up and the seats are full again. The “audience” begins clapping, and the door on the wings of the stage open up. Turning around and still recording, Quentin points the camera at the opening door.

A man walks in dressed in clothes that look as if he pulled them out of the closet and threw them on. The man has a headset on, whispering into the tiny speaker in front of his mouth.

MAN
(To Quentin)
You’re next...

A woman walks up to Quentin, dressed in a clown costume and holding burning torches.

WOMAN
(To Quentin)
Ready to juggle?

QUENTIN
Me?

WOMAN
Yes, but before you do, you’re going to have to die.

Quentin’s smile turns into a terrified frown as he brings the camera down from his eye. As he does, the woman in the camera becomes real and jumps out at him, her face peeling off of her head and her hair on fire.

Quentin jumps back and realizes that nobody is there. He breathes in deeply and shakes his head.

Above the door that opened where the Man walked out of, which is still open, is a crossbow used for one of the acts in the circus. It’s a huge contraption with a large arrow locked and ready to fire for the next act.

CREATURE’S POV

The creature glides through the doorway and climbs up the wall, sitting next to the crossbow. It makes a metal pole fall over, digging it throw the wall.

INT. CIRCUS TENT – NIGHT

Quentin videotapes the creature staring at him. He begins to back away, but is blocked by a wall that used to be an entrance to the stage. Quentin is scared stiff, still recording the creature.

EXT. ENTRANCE – NIGHT

Carey and Michael stare at the giant wall that site before them, Michael pacing back and forth as Carey digs her face into her hands.

MICHAEL
There’s got to be something that is long enough to get over this wall. We could climb over it.

CAREY
And how do you expect us to throw something over this?

MICHAEL
Hey, I’m the star football player. If I’m able to throw the ball over the football field, I think I can make it over this.
(Sighing)
Where are we going to find something to throw over?

CAREY
We could use something from the circus place at the back of the park. Trapeze artists, they have long ropes.

MICHAEL
Yeah but it’s too far back there.

CAREY
It doesn’t matter, Michael! We’re going to have to get over this wall no matter what. Besides, Quentin could be near there.

Lighting flashes and thunder rolls in.

MICHAEL
We have to hurry.

Carey’s cell phone rings. She quickly takes it out.

MICHAEL
I thought you couldn’t get any reception anywhere here?

CAREY
You can’t...
(Looks at number)
You know who that is?

She shows him the number and his mouth drops open.

MICHAEL
It’s Stacey’s number...

Carey quickly answers it.

CAREY
Hello?

STACEY (O.S.)
I’m at “The Exterminator”.

CAREY
Stacey! What happened to you? We thought you were dead.

STACEY (O.S.)
I just got knocked unconscious. I’m fine, just a few scratches; that’s all.

CAREY
Are you sure?

STACEY (O.S.)
Just come to the roller coaster! Hurry! I’m scared...

CAREY
Okay, we’re coming!

White noise fades in and Stacey’s voice disappears. Carey hangs up.

CAREY
Stacey’s fine, she got knocked unconscious.

MICHAEL
Oh thank God, I thought she was dead. Where is she?

CAREY
By “The Exterminator”.

MICHAEL
(Sighs)
Okay I’ll go to the circus tent and look for Quentin. You find Stacey and come back here.

INT. CIRCUS TENT – NIGHT

Quentin steps forward, awed by the huge creature, and continues to record. The creature growls and smashes its head into the wall, knocking the crossbow off its hooks.

The metal pole gets caught in the trigger hole. The back of the crossbow pops up and hits the ceiling over the door below it, firing the arrow.

The arrow spears through Quentin’s head, the sound of glass shattering is heard and blood sprays on the wall behind him.

It turns out that the arrow had gone through the front of the camera and out the viewfinder, spearing through Quentin’s eye and out the back of his head.

Quentin’s hand slowly slides out of the camera strap and his body goes limp. He falls to the floor and the creature and the wall behind him both dissipate.

EXT. CIRCUS TENT – NIGHT

Michael runs up the entrance of the tent and slowly walks in, keeping a sharp eye out in front of him and behind him.

INT. CIRCUS TENT – NIGHT

He walks through several hallways until he comes to an only door in a small, white hallway. He opens it up and immediately trips over Quentin’s feet.

He looks down and gasps, covering his mouth. Quentin’s head is still slowly sliding down the arrow. Michael gags and backs away in the corner of the stage.

He gathers his courage and sees the video camera under Quentin’s face. He slowly walks over to him, stepping over Quentin’s body. He closes his eyes as he reaches for the camera.

His hand shakes as he grabs the camera and begins to lift it up when Quentin’s body suddenly jolts up. Michael screams and jumps back, falling off the stage and into the audience.

The sounds of chaos fades in behind him, and he looks up at the technical room behind the audience seats. Through the windows, one of the creatures begins shredding down the hallway, tearing the walls apart, heading for the stage.

Michael gets up and jumps back on stage, grabbing the camera quickly and trying to get it off the arrow.

He almost gets it off, but the end of the arrow gets caught in the camera. Michael begins shaking it, trying to get it off. He can hear the creature getting closer, and the stage begins to vibrate.

Michael curses to himself, trying to get the camera away from Quentin’s body. Suddenly, the door, now closed, swings open, breaking off its hinges as it smashes into the wall. Michael looks up and stares into the creature’s eyes.

He opens the tape compartment and pulls out the tape just as the creature pounces towards him. Michael jumps out of the way, one of the creature’s claws creating a gash in his arm.

Michael jumps down into the audience and begins running up the aisle towards the nearest exit. The creature roars and jumps into the audience, tearing the seats from the ground and smashing them into the walls.

Michael runs as fast as he can towards a door. He reaches it and quickly runs out, slamming it shut behind him. The creature smashes into the door, its claws tearing through the door and clawing at Michael. He locks the door and begins running down the hallway towards the entrance of the tent.

The creature bursts through the door and begins gliding down the hallway, hunting from Michael, but he is nowhere to be seen.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Carey runs up to The Exterminator and stops, sighing. More thunder roars above her, and it begins to sprinkle. The sprinkle turns into a downpour.

EXT. LOST AND FOUND SHACK – NIGHT

Michael, with rope and hook, runs up to the Lost and Found and begins searching around boxes full of clothes and containers. He finds an old video camera that is able to play the type of tape Quentin used.

He puts the tape in and turns the camera on, opening the tiny screen. He rewinds until he sees Stacey standing at the Merry-Go-Round and stops.

CLOSE UP: CAMERA SCREEN

Stacey stands at the Merry-Go-Round looking at her reflection. Quentin yells her name and she turns around, her face covered with terror.

STACEY
Quentin! They’re making us see what we don’t want to see! They’re bringing our fears to life!

Michael quickly stops and rewinds.

STACEY
(Again)
Quentin! They’re making us see what we don’t want to see! They’re bringing our fears to life!

He pauses it and has flashbacks.

FLASHBACK

INT. BATHROOM – DAY

Page is looking in the mirror when Haley takes over her reflection.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

EXT. ENTRANCE – NIGHT

They’re staring at the wall that towers over them.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK

INT. FUNHOUSE – NIGHT

Michael is staring into his reflection. His reflection winks and smiles at him, as all his other reflections around him turn to face him. He gets sucked into the mirror.

INT. LOST AND FOUND – NIGHT

Michael plays the tape. It’s of Quentin video taping the audience section. Nobody is sitting in the seats, but he continues to tape the section.

QUENTIN
Me?

The door in front of Quentin opens, and the creature entity slithers out from the door and up onto the wall. Quentin keeps the camera focused on the creature.

The creature knocks the pole over, and then smashes its head into the wall, knocking the crossbow off the wall. It gets caught on the pole, the back bouncing up and hitting the ceiling over the door.

The arrow fires and flies at the camera, and everything turns to static. Michael closes the screen and drops the camera on the ground, covering his face.

He shakes his head and falls against the wall, sliding down to the ground, curling up into the fetal position.

EXT. THE EXTERMINATOR – NIGHT

The rain is pouring down on the park, Carey getting soaked as she runs up to the roller coaster.

INT. THE EXTERMINATOR – NIGHT

The lights are off as she runs into the aisles that lead to the carts. Lighting flashes and thunder rolls through the park like a tidal wave.

She walks up to the loading station and stands in front of the train, looking for Stacey.

CAREY
Stacey?

Carey turns her attention to a squeaking noise. She sees an exit door opening up slowly, but nobody pushing it open.

Suddenly, the lights blast on, startling Carey. She turns around and is immediately pushed into one of the carts by Stacey. Carey falls in and looks up at her. Stacey smiles and dissolves into dust. The seat restraints come down and lock.

CAREY
Michael! Someone help me!

EXT. THE EXTERMINATOR – NIGHT

The ride begins climbing up the hill, Carey struggling to get in the proper seating position. Lightning flashes as the roller coaster drops down the first hill, rumbling through a large loop.

The roller coaster does many turns and corkscrews, Carey hanging on for dear life as she begins slipping out of her seat.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael runs through the park, splashing through puddles. He slips and falls on a puddle, but gets back up, holding onto the gash on his arm.

EXT. THE EXTERMINATOR – NIGHT

The roller coaster goes through another loop and comes to a complete stop at a braking point. The roller coaster sits on the tracks, the rain splashing down on the carts.

Carey begins positioning herself in her seat. Just as she gets straightened up, the train begins moving, coming to a tiny corkscrew that goes straight downward.

The coaster begins through the corkscrew slowly, but the back gets caught in the braking part, stopping, leaving Carey hanging upside down.

Then, as if everything couldn’t get any worse, the hydraulics are released. The shoulder restraints pop up. Carey falls out, but grabs a hold of her seat restraint.

The slipper rubber makes it hard for her to hang on as her feet dangle in the air many feet above the ground.

Michael runs up to the ride and hears Carey screaming in the distance. He looks up and sees Carey hanging on to the coaster, struggling to survive.

He jumps over a fence that keeps people from going into the restricted area below the ride and runs right under Carey.

MICHAEL
Carey! Hang on!

Michael looks around frantically for something to save Carey. He sees a large, white blanket on the ground and runs over and picks it up.

He ties one corner to a small pole connected to the ride, another corner on part of the chain-linked fence. He holds the two other corners and looks up at Carey.

MICHAEL
Okay, Carey! I need you to let go. I’ll catch you with this!

CAREY
I can’t! I’m afraid of heights!

MICHAEL
That’s what their doing, Carey! They’re bringing our greatest fears and other phobias to life!

Carey begins sobbing to herself.

MICHAEL
Hurry, Carey, before it starts moving again! Just trust me!

Carey closes her eyes and the roller coaster begins moving again. She lets go and falls through the air, landing on the sheets and Michael falls on the ground with her.

He quickly gets up and grabs Carey, holding her tightly, as the roller coaster continues its course through the loops and corkscrews.

STACEY (O.S.)
Michael!

Michael and Carey look at Stacey, limping and holding onto her cuts from the glass.

The first cart of the roller coaster begins to jolt around more than the others. The wheels pop off the tracks, and the front cart breaks off from the others, plummeting to the ground as the others continue their course.

The cart hits the ground, creating a crater. It skids across the asphalt towards Stacey who’s completely oblivious to it.

MICHAEL
Stacey!

Stacey turns her head, but it’s too late for her to move. The cart smashes into her, blood spraying everywhere. The cart crushes her body and continues to skid across the ground, finally crashing into a wall.

MICHAEL
NOO!!!!!!

Michael throws the rope and hook on the ground, angered and devastated by the loss of his sister. He grabs a large, metal pole lying on the ground and runs up to the loading station, Carey following him with the rope and hook.

He smashes the control box with the pipe until it’s completely dismantled.

Michael runs out of the station, Carey screaming after him.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – NIGHT

Michael runs to the middle of a large pathway and falls to his knees, burying his face into his hands. Carey runs up to him and kneels down to him.

CAREY
Michael! Michael I’m so sorry! I lost my older brother when I was seven; I know how you feel! But we’re not going to let that stop us from getting out of here! We’re going to get over that wall and we’re going to get out of here.

Michael looks up at her, his eyes red and puffy. He looks at a small car that employees ride around to get around the park easier. He stands up and sees a storage building just a few feet away from them.

He looks at the tower. It says 11:20.

He walks over to the storage building and opens it up. Dozens of gallons of gas sit inside the building used for generators and other uses. He begins picking up the tanks and throwing them on the back of the small car.

CAREY
What are you doing?

MICHAEL
I’m blowing this whole fucking place up.

Carey begins to help throw the cartons of gas onto the back of the car. Michael gets in the driver seat, the keys still in the car. Carey sits in the back, pouring gas on the ground as the car begins to go through park.

They splash gas around the entrances of the rides. They finish up, starting the gas line at the entrance of the park.

EXT. ENTRANCE – NIGHT

The rain pouring harder than before, they sit at the entrance. Michael ties the rope to the hook and begins twirling it above him like a lasso. He throws it over the wall, the hook getting caught in a crevasse in the wall.

Michael helps Carey up and she begins climbing up the rope towards the top of the wall. Michael looks at the clock tower: 11:59. He pulls out a lighter from his pocket and creates a flame.

He throws it in the fire just as the clock strikes twelve, the first chime going off.

The gas ignites and the flames begin to spread throughout the park, catching most of the entrances on fire. The tower still chimes as Michael begins to climb up the rope, Carey halfway up.

The fire catches the storage room on fire, with a few gas tanks still in there.

The tanks catch on fire and the building begins to burn down. Carey looks down at Michael.

MICHAEL
Keep going! You’re almost there!

The chime strikes eight when the storage building explodes, sending debris flying through the air. A metal pipe flies through the air like a missile and spears Michael in the stomach.

Carey looks back down and sees Michael with the pipe through him. She screams and watches in horror as Michael lets go, falling towards the ground. She gasps and stares at his body. The clock strikes the twelfth chime.

Carey begins crying, and pushes herself to climb over the wall. She makes it over the top, throws the rope over the other side, and begins climbing down.

She gets to the bottom and collapses, crying. She sniffs and gets back up, running away from the entrance.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

The fires have died, most of the entrances burned, and the smoke still rises up the sky.

EXT. ENTRANCE – DAY

The police are the first to get there. The entrance is back to its normal height and they break in.

ROY BAKER, the chief of the police, walks in, turning to the other officers.

ROY
Terrance and Hancock, you go to the east side of the park, Parker and Walker, you two search the east side. Wallace and I’ll search the back and entrance.

The force disperses, the officers going where they were told to.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

HOWARD TERRANCE and BEN HANCOCK walk through the park, a walkie-talkie in their hands.

TERRANCE
(Into walkie-talkie)
We’re going to the funhouse first.

They walk towards the funhouse, the entrance charred, but not totally destroyed.

INT. FUNHOUSE – DAY

They walk into the hall of mirrors, all of them shattered. They walk through and notice the dry blood coming from the door at the end of the hallway.

They walk through and open the door, met by the same torture room as Page was in. They see the coffin on the floor, the blood still leaking out of it.

They push the air conditioning pipe off of it and pick the coffin up. The door opens, revealing Page stuck to the nails, some going completely through her body.

HANCOCK
(Panicked and into walkie-talkie)
Roy we have dead body here!

ROY
(Filtered)
Funhouse, right?

HANCOCK
Right.

Howard looks away from Page’s dead body.

INT. AMUSEMENT PARK – DAY

TERRI PARKER and JOHNSON WALKER walk through the east side of the park, looking at the destruction.

PARKER
The whole place is almost burnt down. Who could have done it?

WALKER
It could have probably been from the accident two nights ago.

PARKER
No, I was there when we were cleaning up. There were no fires. This had to happen over night.

WALKER
The only possible way is that someone was here yesterday.

They walk over to the Ferris wheel and get on the station platform. Walker sits down in one of the seats and wipes his forehead.

Suddenly, the Ferris wheel starts on its own, trapping Walker in his seat. Parker jumps and runs over to the control panel, trying to stop it, but the Ferris wheel continues to rotate.

PARKER
(Into walkie-talkie)
Guys, there’s some weird shit going on!

INT. SECURITY ROOM – DAY

Roy and JACK WALLACE stand in front of multiples of TVs of surveillance cameras recording every ride. A creature from every ride, all looking the same, crawl up in front of the surveillance cameras.

Suddenly, all the TVs explode in their faces, blowing them back. They scream and Wallace hits the wall as Roy flies into a desk.

INT. FUNHOUSE - DAY

Hancock and Terrance hear them scream and run out of the funhouse. They run up to the entrance.

EXT. ENTRANCE – DAY

They stop in their tracks as the entrance wall rises up, just like the night before. The lights on the rides light up and the rides destroyed by the fire begin to rotate and work, gears cranking.

EXT. FERRIS WHEEL - DAY

Parker continues to stop the Ferris Wheel as Walker hyperventilates while looking down at them.

EXT. ENTRANCE – DAY

Terrance pounds on the stone wall as Hancock looks in the distance. One of the creatures jumps out from the ride area and begin charging down the park towards them. He begins to shoot at them, but the bullets don’t penetrate them.

CUT TO BLACK

CAREY
(Calm)
...Today’s the third day...

Carey’s eyes shoot open and she gasps.

CUT TO BLACK

THE END
