A Screenplay by Chris Halvorson
Based on Characters Created by John Carpenter, Debra Hill, Victor

INTRODUCTION
(Fade in. We see the New Line Cinema FILMS logo. Blood then appears on
the screen and forms the following:
"So frowned the mighty combatants that Hell
grew darker at their frown; so matched
they stood; for never but once more was
wither like to meet so great a foe.
See, with what heat these dogs of Hell
Advance to waste and havoc yonder world…"
- Milton, Paradise Lost)
(We see words appear on screen)
(TITLE: NOVEMBER 1ST, 2002)
CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN: RESSURECTION CLIP
INT. MORGUE
We see a door burst open, and two guys bring in a body on a gurney to
the girl there.
ORDERLY:
Hey, how's it going?
CORONER:
You gotta be kidding me. Another one?
ORDERLY:
It's your lucky night. You got a celebrity.
CORONER:
Ooh, let me get my autograph book.
They put in on the slab.
ORDERLY:
I'm not kidding. It's Michael Myers.
CORONER:
What?
They then start to leave.
ORDERLY:
Get me a copy of that autography book will ya?
CORONER:
Yeah, sure.
ORDERLY (As Leaving):
She cracks me up.
The CORONER then unzips the bag and looks at the body of MICHAEL MYERS.
His mask is charred and decayed and all the hair is gone. The CORONER
then leans over him and his eyes pop open
CUT TO:
EXT. THE VOORHEES HOUSE, NIGHT. Rain pounds the surface and hits the
dirt (angles on the ground), where the mask of Jason Voorhees lays
untouched
since THE FINAL FRIDAY. There is no other noise except the rains
pounding,
which is almost silent. LIGHTING crackles and the dirt begins to shift
(The
camera shifts to lay on the ground) and a hand bursts up out of the
ground. It
clenches then another arm climbs out and places itself, where it can
grab a hold
of the ground. With a single movement the ground bursts and Jason
stands(like in
THE FINAL FRIDAY) with his hockey mask on. (Camera zooms into Jason's
faceto see his eyes, that search the area.) For only a moment, he
stands and looks
down at his chest, where the knife remains. He places his hand on it
and pulls it
out and tosses it to the ground and begins walking off.
EXT. THE PRIVATE SCHOOL, NIGHT. Cops and people are everywhere.
JOHN rushes over to LAURIE, who is sweating and exhausted.
JOHN
Are you, all right?
LAURIE
I've been better. You?
JOHN
I'm living...that's more then I can say for my friends.
LAURIE
Molly, you?
MOLLY
I'm okay, Ms. Tate. Just a little scared that's all.
CUT TO THE PRIVATE SCHOOL HALLWAYS. Michael stands in the
window watching as everything happens below; his face is covered in
shadow
since he's not wearing his mask. (The camera zooms in on his face and
into his
eye.)
A FLASH. MICHAEL stabs WILL, Laurie's former boyfriend.
FLASH. MICHAEL puts his mask and clothes on WILL.
FLASH. He grabs another set of clothes, that are almost duplicates from
before
and gets dressed.
(THE CAMERA pulls back from Michael's face and sets up for a wide
shot.)
MICHAEL turns and walks away down the empty hallway.
CUT TO THE CROWD. MICHAEL moves through the crowd unnoticed.
EXT. THE CRASH AREA. MICHAEL moves down to the body and removes the
mask from what
remains of the body. He places the mask back on and turns to the
camera. (The
camera zooms in on his deep black eyes and everything goes to
darkness.)
TITLECARD "JASON VS. MICHAEL"
EXT. A ROAD, DAY. The road is small and there is little to nothing in
sight. One lone truck drives by below.
(The camera zooms in onto JOHN and MOLLY.)
LAURIE (on the other line of John's cell phone).
So what are you two planning on doing?
JOHN
Taking a boat out on the lake and watch the stars.
LAURIE
Where at?
JOHN
Camp Crystal Lake.
LAURIE
And this is?
JOHN
A peaceful campground out in the middle of nowhere, where Molly and I
can relax...and hopefully get your brother
out of our systems.
LAURIE
Well, you know my rules.
JOHN
No sex, no drugs, no beer...yea, yea...I know them by heart.
LAURIE
Don't break them.
JOHNGot it...I'll see you soon, okay.
LAURIE
Wait...don't hang up...
JOHN moves the phone closer to his ear.
JOHN
I'm here.
LAURIE
Keep in contact will you?
JOHN
I will.
LAURIE
And one last thing...enjoy it... because I want you both back in one
piece.
JOHN
See you in a week.
JOHN hangs up the phone and turns to MOLLY, who is watching the
countryside.
MOLLY
It's beautiful isn't it?
JOHN
Very.(He smiles.)
EXT. THE TRUCK passes the CRYSTAL LAKE sign, which reads:
WELCOME TO CRYSTAL LAKE, population 200.
EXT. THE TOWN OF CRYSTAL LAKE, DAY. The truck pulls to a stop at a
small gas station.
MOLLY
This place is quite.
JOHN and MOLLY look out the windows of the truck but see no one moving
about the town.
JOHN
It's a small town, that's the way they are.
MOLLY
Not this quite.
JOHN
There's gotta be somebody.
MOLLY
So you wanna go searching...don't you?
JOHN nods and climbs out the driver's side door.
JOHN
It's the only thing we can do.
MOLLY climbs out behind him and joins JOHN at his side.
CUT TO THE TRUCKBED, where the blue tarp has covered it over. Slowly
part of the tarp rises and Michael's face appears. (The blue tarp is
removed off screen.)
CUT TO JOHN and MOLLY walking into the gas station.
JOHN
Hello. Anybody here?
MOLLY
Is there anybody here?
JOHN turns and walks down an aisle, while MOLLY does the same.
JOHN
Hello.... anybody here?
THE STATION is dead silent until...
A NOISE is heard at the backdoor of the station. JOHN walks slowly to
the front of the store with MOLLY rejoining him.
MOLLY
What's that?
JOHN
Don't know...just follow me.
THE NOISE continues as they walk through the station until they reach
the backdoor.
MOLLY
Is there anybody out there?
NO ANSWER. JOHN turns to MOLLY.
JOHN
Stay back.
JOHN puts his hand onto the doorknob and turns...
THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN TO REVEAL NOTHING but an empty alleyway. JOHN
turns back to assure MOLLY but...
THE STATION WINDOW comes crashing in. MOLLY screams and JOHN pushes her
out into the alleyway. JOHN turns back and grabs onto the door to look
inside the station. In the distance, MICHAEL is moving toward JOHN and
MOLLY slowly. JOHN slams the door shut.
JOHN
This is not good.
MOLLY
What?
JOHN holds the door down and talks.
JOHN
When I say run...run. Got it?
MOLLY nods. JOHN holds the door back until...
THE DOOR starts to BOLT forward. JOHN puts his weight on the door
trying to hold MICHAEL from getting out but...
AFTER only a few hits the door opens and MICHAEL stands in the doorway.
JOHN
Run!!!
JOHN and MOLLY take off running as fast as they can but MICHAEL is
walking slowly behind him. The two cut down a alley and run into...
STEVEN FREEMAN, who holds a shotgun in one hand. MOLLY screams.
STEVEN
Relax...I heard screaming.
MOLLY
Help us...please.
STEVEN
What were you attacked by?
MOLLY nods.
IN THE DISTANCE, MICHAEL'S shadow is cast on the wall. Slowly MICHAEL
appears and STEVEN lifts his shotgun.
STEVEN
Yo (HE WHISTLES)...
MICHAEL looks up and continues walking towards them. STEVEN fires six
shots into MICHAEL knocking him back hard onto the ground.
STEVEN
Are you, okay?
STEVEN turns back to JOHN and MOLLY. Neither answers instead they watch
as...
MICHAEL rises back up. MOLLY starts screaming.
STEVENWhat?
STEVEN turns with his shotgun ready to find MICHAEL on his feet slowly
walking towards them.
STEVEN
But that's impossible I shot him...six times...six times...
STEVEN fires again knocking MICHAEL back but MICHAEL continues toward
them. JOHN and MOLLY take off running, while STEVEN continues to shoot
MICHAEL until the shotgun is out of bullets and when it does he tosses
it to the ground and starts running.
INT. ALLEY, NIGHT. JOHN and MOLLY run through the opening back to the
main street of Crystal Lake.
MOLLY
Where to now?
JOHN
The police station.
JOHN catches sight of the truck but turns away from it and runs further
into the town with MOLLY.
CUT TO STEVEN, with MICHAEL right behind him. STEVEN runs as hard and
as fast as he can but still MICHAEL remains behind him until he runs to
the alley exit then MICHAEL is no longer behind him.
STEVEN stops for a moment and glances around for any sign of MICHAEL
but there is none. STEVEN catches his breath and listens, he can hear
footsteps. He turns and looks around but there is NOTHING. He starts
running towards the station until...
MICHAEL steps out in front of him. MICHAEL tries to grab STEVEN but
Steven ducks and continues running.
EXT. THE STATION. JOHN and MOLLY stand at the front door trying to get
it open but they can't. JOHN looks back to see STEVEN running towards
them.
CUT TO STEVEN, who is pulling out the police station keys as he runs.
He reaches the door and puts a key in...
But it's wrong. MICHAEL continues approaching in the distance. STEVEN
pulls out another key and tries. WRONG, again. MICHAEL is almost to the
door and...
STEVEN gets the right key and opens the door.
STEVEN
Get in. NOW!!
JOHN and MOLLY run in and STEVEN is behind them. Just as STEVEN gets in
MICHAEL's hand gets through the door. STEVEN slams the door against it
but MICHAEL won't move it. STEVEN slams it even harder and MICHAEL
pulls his hand out and STEVEN slams the door shut. He locks it and
pulls the bars across the inside of the door.
MICHAEL stands in the door with a hard stare on STEVEN, MOLLY, and JOHN
for only a couple of seconds then he walks away.
INT. THE POLICE STATION, MAIN OFFICE. JOHN and MOLLY sit peacefully,
sweating but alive. STEVEN is standing. The station is completely
empty. The only people are the three survivors of MICHAEL's wrath.
STEVEN
Who are you people...and what was that?
JOHN
I'm John...this is Molly.
STEVEN
And that thing was?
JOHN
Michael Myers.
STEVEN
From the Haddonfield Murders.
JOHN nods.
STEVEN(cont'd)What's he gotta do with you? I mean, I thought he only
went after that Strode girl.
JOHN looks at MOLLY and back to STEVEN.
JOHN
It's a long story. First, I want to know who you are.
STEVEN
Name's Steven Freeman.
MOLLY
What's with this town?
STEVEN
What did you two just arrive here?
JOHN
What does it look like.
STEVEN
To make it short and simple it's...Friday the 13th.
JOHN and MOLLY
What?
STEVEN
Alright, you might wanna sit down.
STEVEN walks over and turns on a nearby computer.
STEVEN
Well...in the beginning Crystal Lake was just your average small town.
You know where you could bring your family or friends. But at Camp
Crystal Lake...
MOLLY
That's where we were planning on going.
STEVEN
Mrs. Voorhees son supposedly drowned on Friday the 13th, while two
counselors were making out and when she found out it drove her over the
edge. Over the years, she would remain in her home where no one would
ever hear from her, again, until around the 1980's on the anniversary
of Jason's death. When a group of counselors decided to reopen Camp
Crystal Lake she took her revenge and murdered almost every counselor
except one girl...that managed to survive only by killing her. Here's
where the story gets interesting...her son, Jason Voorhees returned and
exacted murdered for his mother's death and remained in Crystal Lake
continuing what his mother had started.
MOLLY
Jason drowned didn't he?
STEVEN moves and grabs a file from a police officer's desk and hands it
to JOHN.
STEVEN
Sadly, no...He's been around Crystal Lake for years, doing what he
intended.
JOHN opens the folder to reveal a drawing of JASON VOORHEES with his
hockey mask. JOHN turns another page and finds a stack of homicide
files.
JOHN
How many people has this guy killed?
STEVEN
A hundred or so, I believe. Mostly teenagers breaking the rules.
JOHN
Is he still around?
STEVEN
Don't know. I've been waiting seven years to find out.
MOLLY
So what happened to the town?
STEVEN
A hiker was murdered a week ago, up where Camp Crystal Lake used to be.
After that, two cops were sent in and they didn't come out and most of
the town figured Jason was back. For fear of attack they left.
MOLLY
They left for their own safety?
JOHN
Why are you still here then?
STEVEN
Unfinished business between Jason and myself.
MOLLY
What he do to you?
STEVEN
He killed everyone I knew and took my life away. I...we sent him to
Hell but...he's back.
MOLLY
You don't know that.
STEVEN
Then explain the murders.
JOHN and MOLLY look at one another.
STEVEN
You can't...that's why I'm going out there. I've gotta know.
JOHN
But Michael's out there.
STEVEN
I come prepared.
INT. WEAPONS ROOM, THE POLICE STATION, NIGHT. STEVEN steps in and pulls
down a shotgun from a shelf. JOHN comes in behind him.
STEVEN
Stay out of this.
JOHN
No...I can't, Michael is after me, not you.
STEVENThen stop him. I'm going to check something out...you and your
girlfriend are staying here.
JOHN
What do we do until then?
STEVEN
Take a shotgun and be ready for anything.
JOHN takes a shotgun off the rack.
STEVEN(cont'd)
I'll be back shortly.
STEVEN walks out of the room and down a corridor, that leads to a
backdoor. JOHN stops and watches until STEVEN vanishes.
EXT. THE BACK OF THE POLICE STATION, NIGHT. STEVEN steps out and shuts
the door behind him. He glances and looks back and forth as he locks
it. The alley is dead quiet and nothing is around but a shadow looms in
the distance.
STEVEN turns and starts walking towards his truck with his shotgun held
at his side. In the distance, footsteps can be heard. STEVEN ignores
them but remains aware and gets into his truck. As quick as he can he
starts the truck and takes off.
INT. THE POLICE STATION, MAIN OFFICE, NIGHT. MOLLY sits and waits. JOHN
walks in and puts the shotgun down.
MOLLY
Where'd he go?
JOHN
Don't know but I think we're going to be here a while.
EXT. A ROAD LEADING THROUGH A FOREST, NIGHT. STEVEN's truck speeds by
barely edging the road. Within seconds, Steven stops the truck in front
of the Voorhees house. He climbs out and looks it over. Not much has
changed since the FINAL FRIDAY, the window is still open where Jason
had came through. He looks around in every direction until he finds the
knife that was in JASON's heart, on the ground.
STEVENNo...this is not happening...
STEVEN glances the knife over to make sure it's the true knife but he
knows it is. He starts back toward the truck but inside the floorboards
begin to CREAK.
STEVEN turns back to look at the house and he freezes. He turns back to
the truck and grabs his shotgun. Slowly, he starts approaching the
house. Instead of going through the front door, he steps through the
broken window.
STEVEN
Alright, whoever you are come out!
NO ONE ANSWERS. He holds the knife in one hand and the shotgun in
another. He moves through the house slowly until he reaches the dinning
room and he stops. (The camera moves up to STEVEN's eye much like it
did with MICHAEL.)
FLASH. STEVEN getting pushed out the window by JASON, who stands his
ground.
FLASH. JESSICA jamming the knife(sword) into JASON's heart.
FLASH. JASON getting pulled down into the ground.
ANOTHER CREAK, that's LOUDER. STEVEN's mind returns to the moment (the
camera pulls back to a wideshot). He continues walking until he reaches
the closet, where he hid in THE FINAL FRIDAY. THE CREAKING comes from
there. Slowly, he approaches and opens the door to reveal...
NOTHING but the floorboards break below STEVEN and JASON's hands grab
onto his legs causing him to fall towards the floor, his keys fall out.
The knife falls in another direction but the shotgun remains in his
right hand. STEVEN fights but can't win, so he shifts and JASON starts
pulling him down but...
STEVEN gets his legs stuck on the broken floorboards. There he aims his
shotgun down at JASON, whose hockey mask is staring directly at him.
STEVEN
Remember me?
HE FIRES and JASON doesn't let go. AGAIN, he fires but still JASON
won't let go, so he aims for his hockey mask and nails JASON. JASON
lets go but STEVEN fights to get a hold on the floorboards since there
breaking apart. He grabs one but it starts to break, just as he grabs a
hold of it...
STEVEN tosses the shotgun to the side and shifts his weight so he can
get back up but...
JASON stands with his machete ready to attack, once STEVEN is back on
the floorboards, that are solid. JASON slowly starts walking towards
him but before STEVEN can get up JASON is on him. STEVEN dodges the
machete and grabs his shotgun and turns to JASON.
STEVEN
I realize it's your day but I know how to...
JASON picks up the knife and breaks it into two.
STEVEN
Stop you.
STEVEN jumps up and starts running back towards his truck. STEVEN makes
it to his truck and tries to start it but...
THE ENGINE won't start. JASON approaches and grabs at STEVEN. STEVEN
fights but JASON won't let go. Once, again, STEVEN lifts his shotgun up
to JASON's face and fires. JASON lets go and the truck starts. JASON
watches as the truck drives out into the road and vanishes in the
distance.
INT. THE POLICE STATION, MAIN OFFICE, NIGHT. JOHN flips through JASON's
folder, while MOLLY watches the windows.
JOHN
Now, I can see why, mom stays away from Haddonfield...
A CREAKING DOOR OPENS FROM A HALLWAY.
MOLLY
You hear that?
JOHN climbs up and puts the file down, while MOLLY joins his side.
JOHN
Yea.
JOHN grabs his shotgun and walks slowly down away from the main office
into a hallway, that leads outside.
MOLLY
Steven is that you?
NO ANSWER.
JOHN
Anybody there?
STILL NO ANSWER instead FOOTSTEPS can be heard coming toward them. JOHN
cocks the shotgun.
JOHN
Alright, who or whatever you are show yourself!
VOICE
If you insist.
FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HALLWAY, A MAN IN BLACK steps out. JOHN
turns the shotgun on him.
JOHN
Freeze! Whoever you are.
THE MAN IN BLACK moves slowly and doesn't freeze.
MAN IN BLACK
Afraid I can't do that, John.
JOHN
Who are you and how do you know my name?
MAN IN BLACK
Why so many questions when your lives and others are at stake.
JOHN
Shut up and answer me!(JOHN puts the gun directly in THE MAN IN BLACK's
face.)
MAN IN BLACK
If you put it that way...let's just say everything you've ever thought
about at night will be answered.
JOHN
What?
MAN IN BLACK
All your dreams and desires will have a true meaning, tonight, whether
or not you choose. It is your fate.
JOHN
What are you saying?
MAN IN BLACK
Only time will tell you.
JOHN keeps the gun up and ready for anything. THE MAN IN BLACK lifts
his hand and puts it out to reveal the tattoo of THE THORN, that was
cut into his wrist. THE MAN IN BLACK puts it down and turns to the door
and vanishes through the doorway.
FROM A FAR OFF ROOM, A PHONE RINGS.
JOHN pushes the door shut and locks it from the inside. Then both JOHN
and MOLLY run toward the ringing phone. Eventually, they come to a
dispatch room, where they find the hook.
JOHN picks it up.
JOHN
Hello?
MALE VOICE(Deep voice almost angered)
Who is this?
JOHN
Who's this?
MALE VOICEElias Voorhees, I'm stuck up near Cunningham Way, where a
tree has fallen. Can you send dispatch?
JOHN
There's one problem.
ELIAS VOORHEES
What's that?
JOHN
Nobody's in town.
ELIAS VOORHEES
Then what are you doing there?
JOHN
I can't explain...(THE PHONE LINE IS CUT)Who's this, again?(THERE IS NO
ANSWER, JUST SILENCE.)
MOLLY
What?
JOHN
We've got a problem.
EXT. THE FOREST, NIGHT. STEVEN's truck speeds into town until he makes
it to the back of the police station. He stops the truck and puts it
into gear. He looks in his rearview mirror to see a shadow cross. At
first, he doesn't move then he grabs his shotgun. He checks to see if
he has anymore bullets but the gun is empty.
STEVEN
Oh, great.
THE SHADOW crosses, again, but this time it's closer. STEVEN reaches
for his keys but there not there. He jumps out of the truck in hopes of
making it to the door and starts running.
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE ALLEY, MICHAEL MYERS steps out into the light
with an axe in hand.
STEVEN
Oh...no.
STEVEN makes it to the door and starts slamming and screaming for help.
STEVEN
John, Molly! Help me!
MICHAEL gets closer.
STEVEN
Open up the door!
MICHAEL swings his axe and hits the door but STEVEN is out of the way
and on the ground. JOHN opens the door. MICHAEL swings, again, this
time the axe gets close to leg but STEVEN rolls out of the way.
JOHN opens the door.
JOHN
Get in...Oh no.
STEVEN
I would if I could.
MICHAEL swings again but edges STEVEN's leg.
STEVEN
A little help here would be nice.
STEVEN starts to drag himself away from MICHAEL but MICHAEL stays on
him. From behind, JOHN jumps up onto MICHAEL's back and grabs his
throat. MICHAEL doesn't struggle but instead drops the axe to the
ground.
JOHN
You want me Michael, you got me.
MICHAEL lifts one hand and grabs onto JOHN's arm and throws him to the
ground. STEVEN drags himself further to the point, where he can get to
MOLLY.
STEVEN
Get shotgun.
MOLLY runs back in to find the shotgun. STEVEN turns back and drags
himself back toward the battle.
JOHN climbs back up and punches MICHAEL but MICHAEL doesn't react.
JOHN
Oh, Give a break.
MICHAEL grabs JOHN and throws him into a nearby wall. JOHN falls onto
the ground and climbs back up on all fours.
JOHN
That's going to hurt in the morning.
STEVEN comes from behind and swings at MICHAEL's leg with an axe. The
axe hits but does nothing but make MICHAEL turn around and lift STEVEN
open by his neck.
JOHN coughs and crawls to the axe. At first, he struggles to get back
up but he manages.
JOHN
You know something Michael...
JOHN swings and hits MICHAEL hard in the shoulder.
JOHN
You just don't know when to quite.
MICHAEL turns back and drops STEVEN.
STEVEN
Any brilliant plans?
JOHN
One...I run...two...I fight.
STEVEN
Run.
JOHN tosses the axe to the ground and dives off to the side of MICHAEL
and rolls. JOHN picks up the axe and starts to pull STEVEN back in.
JOHN
Can you walk?
STEVEN
Don't' know.
JOHN
Try.
STEVEN tries to climb up but his leg is cut and bleeding. JOHN puts his
arm around him and lifts him and they both manage to make it to the
door. JOHN slams it shut and locks it from the inside.
STEVEN
That was close.
JOHN
Too close.
FROM THE DISTANCE glass shatters.
STEVEN
What was that?
JOHN
Glass breaking. You know where?
STEVEN
The old part of the jail.
JOHN
You gonna be, alright?
STEVEN
I should be until you get back.
JOHN follows the sound until he reaches an area, that is covered in
darkness. He tries a light but it doesn't work.
JOHN
Anybody in here?
NO ANSWER. JOHN turns back and finds a flashlight sitting on a table.
FEMALE VOICE
Jason's coming.
JOHN steps in and silence.
JOHN
What?
FEMALE VOICE
Jason's coming.
JOHN
Who said that?
SILENCE.
JOHN
If there's anybody here answer.
FEMALE VOICE
Jason's coming. It's Friday the 13th.
JOHN follows the voice to a cell, that is in the darkness. A girl
(CHRIS from PART 3) sits with her hands crossed. Her hair is a mess and
she hides her face.
JOHN
Who are you?
CHRIS
My. Name. Is. Chris.
CHRIS rocks back and forth.
JOHN
Chris, do you know how to stop Jason?
CHRIS doesn't answer.
JOHN
Do you?
CHRIS
You can't. I couldn't. And many others have tried. But...
JOHN
But...
CHRIS
They failed.
CHRIS approaches JOHN and feels his face but as she does she starts
screaming. Blood flows down her mouth and JOHN pulls back. As he does,
CHRIS vanishes into thin air.
FLASH. JOHN flips through the files and finds Chris's name near the
beginning. THE TOP OF PAGE READS: CAUSE OF DEATH: HOMICIDE.
(THE CAMERA PULLS BACK FROM A WIDESHOT.) JOHN is lying against the wall
catching his breath.
FROM THE DISTANCE, FOOTSTEPS can be heard stepping on glass.
JOHN
No...Jason must have got to her.
JOHN climbs back up and follows the sound until he comes to a door,
that he opens quickly...
TO REVEAL MOLLY SCREAMING.
JOHN
Molly, oh...
MOLLY hugs JOHN.
JOHN
What are you doing in here?
MOLLY
Looking for a shotgun.
JOHN
Did you hear that glass breaking?
MOLLY nods.
MOLLY
It's coming from there.
MOLLY points to a small window that has been shattered. JOHN walks in
slowly, lifting his axe and checking the room out. He stops at the
window and climbs up to look through.
JOHN
We can fit through here.
JOHN put his head through the window and...
A MACHETE nearly hits him. JOHN pulls back and remains back to see
JASON waiting below.
MOLLY
What just happened?
JOHN
We've got more company.
MOLLY
Can he get through the window?
JOHN
I don't think so.
JOHN and MOLLY take off running, shutting the door behind them.
FROM ANOTHER normal WINDOW, JASON's image can be seen walking by the
old police windows. JASON stops and smashes one open and climbs through
with machete in hand.
MOLLY
Any ideas?
CUT TO STEVEN laying against the wall in the hallway. He looks down at
his leg and finds the cut, where the axe came through, it's bloody but
no major damage. The hallway is completely silent until...
THE BACKDOOR IS SLAMMED AGAINST. At first, the door doesn't move and
then there is another hit. This time the door falls open to reveal
MICHAEL MYERS, with a kitchen knife now in hand.
STEVEN
Oh...no.
STEVEN struggles to get up but he falls against the wall. So he walks
and puts one hand against the wall, barely standing but managing to
walk.
MICHAEL gives him a cold stare and begins walking towards him.
CUT TO JOHN AND MOLLY running and stopping in a hallway.
MOLLY
Which way?
JOHN
Right.
MOLLY
No, left.
BEHIND THEM, JASON appears with his machete ready to strike one of
them.
JOHN grabs MOLLY and goes right just as the machete cuts into the wall
behind them.
JOHN
Right, it is.
JASON pulls the machete from the wall and continues following them.
CUT TO STEVEN with MICHAEL behind him. STEVEN continues to struggle but
somehow he manages to keep going. MICHAEL is as silent as ever but he
remains right behind him.
A DOOR IN FRONT OF STEVEN flies open to reveal JOHN and MOLLY.
JOHN
What are you doing?
JOHN turns and looks at MICHAEL.
STEVEN
Funny, I was about to ask you the same question.
JOHN
No, time to explain.
JASON appears behind them and STEVEN tries to run further. JASON and
MICHAEL look each other for a moment, then continue on with their
business, ignoring one another.
STEVEN
Don't.
JOHN grabs STEVEN and helps him around by holding him up but still, he
carries an axe in one hand.
STEVEN
You gonna you use that?
JOHN
I will when we need it.
STEVEN
We need it.
JOHN turns and throws the axe at MICHAEL but it hits the wall in the
hallway and MICHAEL puts the knife back in his pocket and takes the
axe.
JOHN
You have any more brilliant ideas?
STEVEN
I didn't say anything.
MOLLY
Where can we go?
STEVEN
Follow the halls.
JOHN, MOLLY, and STEVEN follow the hallways until they come to a DEAD
END, MICHAEL and JASON have been lost for the moment.
MOLLY
Now what?
STEVEN
Window.
JOHN
Molly, first then you. I'll go last.
QUICKLY, JOHN lifts MOLLY to the window. Once she's at the top, she
presses it forward and falls through.
JOHN
Molly, you okay?
MOLLY(from outside)
Fine, now Steven.
JOHN lifts STEVEN up and leaves him in the window. JUST AS HE GETS UP,
JASON appears with MICHAEL nowhere in sight.
STEVEN
Come on, John. Give me your hand.
STEVEN holds out his hand. JASON gets closer with his machete. JOHN
jumps and misses the first time, the second time...
JOHN makes it up just before JASON's machete hits. STEVEN drops and
JOHN looks back to find JASON nowhere in sight.
JOHN
We've have to keep running.
STEVEN
Where can we possibly go we're powerless against those two.
JOHN
I don't know but we have to keep running until...
MOLLY
What about the truck and the cell phone?
JOHN
We've got to get to the truck.
STEVEN
You still have the keys?
JOHN
Always.
EXT. FORMER CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, NIGHT. The woods are empty and silent,
nothing is moving except a shadow of a man that appears by the lake. At
first, his appearance is normal almost like JASON's but he moves with a
limp. (He also holds a cell phone in hand.)
ELIAS VOORHEES
Daddy's home.
(THE CAMERA moves up to his face), THAT HAS A DEVILISH GRIN. He lights
his cigarette and watches the Lake's water shift.
ELIAS
Did they actually think you died? Please, you were smarter then that.
You came to me seeking salvation from your abusive mother's
hands...your death literally, drove her nuts. Pity, too. She wasn't
ready for you, Jason but...I was and you betrayed me for your mother.
ELIAS glances down at the LIGHT, that he has set on the dock.
ELIAS
You were still her son, anyway and you cared for her. But your were
just a kid then...when she was murdered you decided to sell your soul
to the devil for a curse of being a walking corpse and look where it's
got you. Finishing off your mother's unfinished business. I didn't see
it that way, you could have been a normal kid but...
THE MAN IN BLACK APPEARS.
MAN IN BLACK
He sold his soul.
ELIAS turns and looks at the MAN IN BLACK.
ELIAS
Who are you?
MAN IN BLACK
That's of no concern, Mr. Voorhees...and nice little touch but you in
fact, were abusing Jason.
ELIAS
What?
MAN IN BLACK
Don't lie, we know your secrets.
ELIAS
No, that's impossible.
MAN IN BLACK
No it is not, I'm afraid.
ELIAS
What do you want?
MAN IN BLACK
Nothing but an answer to a question, that has plagued my people for
years.
ELIASWhat?
MAN IN BLACK
How can one man keep returning to a town, that has been his home since
birth, to vist the people he has lied to many times and keep the truth
of Jason Voorhees hidden from those who have been attacked.
ELIAS
Why? Well, let me ask you a question.
MAN IN BLACK
If you must.
ELIAS
What kind of man comes dressed in a black robe on a night like this?
MAN IN BLACK
The Thorn, of course.
ELIAS
Who?
MAN IN BLACK
A secret society that has many secrets like you, Mr. Voorhees.
ELIAS
Since you know my secret, reveal one of yours?
MAN IN BLACK
Afraid, I can't.
ELIAS lifts his shotgun.
ELIAS
Afraid you can.
MAN IN BLACK
Michael Myers, a subject of ours has been looking for John Strode.
ELIASSubject?
MAN IN BLACK
A boy that we cursed from birth, who is almost completely immortal. In
a way, he is like your son.
ELIAS
How?
MAN IN BLACK
He's a killer that hides his scars under a mask.
ELIAS
What about the Strode kid?
MAN IN BLACK
His replacement...if he fails.
ELIAS
Has he?
MAN IN BLACK
No, not that I know of.
ELIAS
Is that why you're here?
MAN IN BLACK
Yes and no.
ELIAS
Then what else are you here for?
MAN IN BLACK
For the showdown.
EXT. THE ALLEY, NIGHT. JOHN, MOLLY and STEVEN make an escape and find
the truck sitting, where it was before.
JOHNWhen I say go we're going to run...
MICHAEL steps out with axe in hand.
STEVEN
GO!!!!
JOHN, MOLLY, and STEVEN take off running. STEVEN feet drags but JOHN
and MOLLY manage to carry him to the back of the truck. With what
strength they have they put him in the back of the truck and JOHN jumps
into the front seat and tries to start the engine, MOLLY jumps in the
back with STEVEN. At first, the truck engine won't start, while MICHAEL
approaches but with a little work on the gas pedal, the engine turns
over and pulls away but...
MICHAEL has a hold of the truck, while the axe remains in his other
hand.
JOHN looks back and notices it in the rearview mirror.
JOHN
You just don't give up do you.
MICHAEL shifts and slams the axe into the back of the truck bed. MOLLY
moves back.
MOLLY
JOHN!
MICHAEL climbs up into the truck bed.
JOHN looks back again and swerves the truck causing MICHAEL to fall
back.
JOHN
Come on.
MICHAEL gets back up but this time with the axe.
JOHN
No you don't.
JOHN swerves, again, but this time it's harder causing MICHAEL to
actually fall out.
JOHN
Where to?
STEVEN
Crystal Lake.
THE TRUCK DRIVES AWAY FROM THE TOWN AND COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP AT A
FALLEN TREE ALMOST HITTING ITWITH ITS SIDE.
JOHN
So...how do we get there?
JOHN CLIMBS OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK and goes to the back to get
STEVEN and MOLLY.
STEVEN
The woods.
JOHN pulls MOLLY out and helps STEVEN down and helps him walk into the
woods.
STEVEN
I need something for my leg...
JOHN
I know...can you just hold on for a little longer.
STEVEN
It depends on how much longer.
JOHN, MOLLY and STEVEN walk until...
THEY FIND JASON'S CABIN, it looks the same as before except it's in
shambles. Parts are lying everywhere and the trees around it have been
burned.
JOHN
What's this?
MOLLY
Safe haven?
STEVEN
Not quite....more like Jason's cabin.
JOHN
What?
STEVEN
Jason had a cabin...just outside Crystal Lake, where he
lived....before...he was killed. Or that's at least what I heard. From
the....townspeople.
JOHN
I'm going to check it out.
MOLLY
What are you nuts?
JOHN
It's worth a look.
INT. JASON'S CABIN, NIGHT. THE DOOR opens and JOHN steps in. The inside
of the cabin is a mess, items are scattered all over the floor. JOHN
slowly moves in until...
HE FINDS JASON'S MOTHER'S HEAD with the blue sweater. At first, JOHN
pulls back at the sight but he walks in.
JOHN
Jason has a shrine.
FEMALE VOICE
Jason.
JOHN searches the room for the voice.
JOHN
Who said that?
FEMALE VOICE
Jason, come here and be a good boy.
JOHN turns back to see JASON'S MOTHER'S HEAD talking.
JOHN
What? No.
FEMALE VOICE
Yes.
JOHN turns and starts running back outside but he stops at the front
door.
JOHN
This isn't happening. A head is talking to me. Maybe it's my
imagination.
JOHN turns and finds a pipe and picks it up.
JOHN
Maybe not.
JOHN steps back in and holds the pipe behind his back.
FEMALE VOICE
Come sit, child.
JOHN bends to his knees in front of JASON'S MOTHER'S HEAD.
FEMALE VOICE
What have you to tell, Jason?
JOHN
I've come with a surprise for you, mother.
FEMALE VOICE
Show it, Jason.
JOHN swings the pipe and knocks the head behind a table.
JOHN
Newsflash, I'm not Jason.
FEMALE VOICE
Then where is Jason?
JOHN
Going back to hell.
JOHN walks over to the head and lifts the pipe and nails it in the
face. The room goes silent. JOHN turns and walks out with the pipe in
his hand.
EXT. THE WOODS, NIGHT. JOHN, STEVEN AND MOLLY walk slowly toward
Crystal Lake.
STEVEN
Anything in there out of the ordinary?
JOHN
Nope, not a thing.
CLOSE BY A VOICE CAN BE HEARD.
VOICE
What's going on in this place? It's like it's going to hell...
STEVEN
It's coming from the Lake.
JOHN, STEVEN and MOLLY walk as quick as they can until they meet ELIAS
VOORHEES.
ELIAS
Who are you?
JOHN
I'm John...this is Molly...and Steven.
STEVEN
Who are you?
ELIAS VOORHEES
Elias...
STEVEN
Voorhees...oh no. Not you.
ELIAS lifts his shotgun.
JOHN
Your Jason's father.
ELIAS
Correct, you are...Johnny boy.
JOHN
What do you want?
ELIAS
Well, let me think...I want...a...uh..you dead.
JOHN lifts his hands.
STEVEN
Why? He doesn't even know who Jason is?
ELIAS
But he brought a challenger for my son. So if I kill him...this Myers'
fellow leaves. You get the idea, Mr. Freeman.
STEVEN
How do you know who I am?
ELIAS
Word travels a lot around Crystal Lake about you and your so called
mission to stop Jason....It's a pity but you've gotta go, too.
THE MAN IN BLACK enters.
MAN IN BLACK
Whoa! Mr. Voorhees...I don't mean to be intruding...but this isn't
going to solve your problem.
ELIAS
What do you mean?
A KNIFE cuts through ELIAS chest and ELIAS drops to the ground,
revealing MICHAEL MYERS with an axe in one hand.
MAN IN BLACK
Michael....
JASON steps out of the woods and walks toward MICHAEL. He looks his
father's dead body over and looks MICHAEL in the eye. For a moment,
there is nothing but silence until JASON swings his machete. JOHN,
STEVEN and MOLLY take off running toward the woods.
MAN IN BLACK
Jason.
THE MACHETE HITS MICHAEL'S arm. MICHAEL takes the hit and continues
forward.
CUT TO JOHN, MOLLY AND STEVEN.
JOHN
What are we doing?
MOLLY
Running.
STEVEN
What is there anything wrong with that?
JOHN
I've got to go back.
STEVEN
That makes two of us...but...I've got one minor problem.
JOHN turns and looks back.
MOLLY
I think I can make a splint.
JOHN
Do it...I'm going after Michael.
STEVEN
I'm going after Jason...with or without a splint.
STEVEN and JOHN begin heading back.
IN THE DISTANCE, THE MAN IN THE BLACK watches.
MAN IN BLACK
Going exactly as I planned.
THE MAN IN BLACK BEGINS CHANTING.
CUT BACK TO JASON AND MICHAEL. MICHAEL attacks JASON nailing him in the
chest but they continue fighting. Weapons striking one another until
they figure out, that they need no weapon to kill each other. JASON
looks up at MICHAEL and drops his machete to the ground.
MICHAEL drops his axe and grabs JASON by his neck but can't pick him
up. AND THEN IT BEGINS, MICHAEL goes into a trance. JASON nails him in
the face with a punch causing MICHAEL to land on the ground.
(THE CAMERA moves to MICHAEL.) MICHAEL is almost lifeless but his mind
wanders. (The camera zooms in on his eye that is wide open.)
FLASH. MICHAEL as a boy playing peacefully with a neighborhood boy on
an October day. The fall leaves cover the ground and a pumpkin sits on
the porch.
FLASH. Two men (MEN IN BLACK) appear and talk to his parents.
FLASH. MICHAEL is in a room almost completely dark except for candles
that barely light the room. A MAN IN BLACK grabs onto MICHAEL's hand
and begins chanting, while a "THORN" symbol begins to appear on his
wrist.
FLASH. HALLOWEEN NIGHT, Michael grabbing the clown mask.
FLASH. His parents at the door looking him over curiously.
FLASH. JOHN appears holding out his wrist and the "THORN" symbol
appears.
MICHAEL snaps out of it and stops JASON just before he can land his
machete in MICHAEL's chest.
CUT TO JOHN and STEVEN, STEVEN cuts off running to the left and JOHN
joins the battle between MICHAEL and JASON. He dives for MICHAEL's axe
and freezes. JASON stares JOHN down.
JOHN
Oh boy.
MICHAEL dodges the hit and knocks JASON down into the waters of Crystal
Lake. MICHAEL climbs up and looks at JOHN. With what he energy he has
he starts to speak.
MICHAEL
Thorn.
JOHN cocks his axe.
MICHAEL
Stop....THORN!
MICHAEL lifts his hand and shows JOHN his wrist.
JOHN
We'll finish this later.
MICHAEL turns and heads into the water to battle JASON.
THE WATER ABOVE THE LAKE SHIFTS AND ROCKS but nothing can be seen.
STEVEN watches and waits in the distance.
STEVEN
Come on, Jason. This is just between you and me.
CUT TO JOHN running.
JOHN
Where are you, Mr. I'm so powerful-I know everything!
MAN IN BLACK(from behind)
Right here.
JOHN punches him and knocks him back.
MAN IN BLACK
What is this going to solve?
JOHN
My answers and your problems.
JOHN nails him, again.
JOHN
Whose going to live?
MAN IN BLACK
That's for you to find out.
THE MAN IN BLACK pulls out a knife and stabs JOHN in the arm. JOHN
swings his axe and hits the tree.
JOHN
Now give me answer.
MAN IN BLACK
That's for the fates to decide.
JOHN takes off running.
CUT TO THE LAKE, THE WATER SIMMERS and silence falls onto the lake.
STEVEN
Come on..
1. CUT TO: Jason FLASHES UP FROM THE WATER. He walks off. Michael
JUMPS FROM THE WATER following Jason
VOICE (V. O.)
It's not over. . .
CUT TO:
FADE IN.
We see words appear on screen.
(TITLE: HADDONFIELD, IL, OCTOBER 30TH, 2004)
CUT TO:
EXT – HADDONFIELD STREET
(We pan seeing all the houses as we hear "Laurie's Theme" playing until
we get to a single house)
MALE VOICE:
Hope you have a good time, honey!
(We see the words "STRODE REALITY" on the car)
FEMALE VOICE:
I will!
(We see a young girl, ELLIE STRODE comes out of the house, with a bunch
of stuff, and she then walks down the street)
CUT TO:
EXT – ANOTHER HADDONFIELD STREET
(She stops in front of a house, ELLIE goes on the porch and we hear
screaming from inside)
MALE VOICE:
Shut up, you fucking filthy whore!
FEMALE VOICE:
Don't speak to your mother like that, you cock-sucking bastard!
(ELLIE chuckles)
FEMALE VOICE:
Listen the fact of the matter is Crystal Lake is fucking cursed, you're
not going!
MALE VOICE:
Cunt, shut up!
FEMALE VOICE:
That's it, if I have to fucking tie you to the wall, you're not going
to Camp Blood.
MALE VOICE:
You can't stop me!
FEMALE VOICE:
Yes, I can, you fucker!
(A boy, ROY WATERSON, then walks out of the door and sees ELLIE)
FEMALE VOICE:
Fine, you wanna get sliced and diced? FINE BY ME!
(ROY looks back inside and yells back at his mom)
ROY:
I have just as much a chance as I do hear! Does the word, "Boogeyman"
ring any bells?
FEMALE VOICE:
MICHAEL MYERS IS DEAD! He died two years ago!
ROY:
Bullshit! The coroner was found dead and no body! Doesn't exactly sound
like he's dead?
FEMALE VOICE:
Okay, listen, I give up. I HOPE YOU ENJOY CAMP BLOOD, ROY!
(ROY looks at ELLIE)
ROY:
What?
(ELLIE laughs, then gets serious)
ELLIE:
What was she talking about? Camp Blood?
ROY:
Oh nothing, ‘l. She's just believes the local Crystal Lake legends
about some psycho in a hockey mask who murders teenagers.
ELLIE:
What?
ROY:
It's no big deal. They're just legends. Nothing more.
(They then go over to his truck)
ELLIE:
Listen, do you mind holding my stuff until I get to Crystal Lake?
(She then puts her stuff in his truck)
ROY:
Sure, no problem, but I gotta warn ya. I may get to Crystal lake later
than everyone else.
ELLIE:
It's okay. Tis stuff is killing my back, anything would be better than
to lug this around any longer.
ROY:
Okay, well, I'm going over to AMY'S for a little while before we go to
Crystal Lake.
ELLIE:
Ah, a little pre-show fucky fucky?
ROY:
Pretty much, yeah. You could come over and watch if ya'd like?
ELLIE:
Uh, thanks but no thanks. I gotta get packing.
ROY:
SAM'S taking ya over there right?
ELLIE:
Yep.
ROY:
Okay, well, cool. See you later!
ELLIE:
Bye, ROY.
(SHE then walks off as he gets in his truck and drives off as "Laurie's
Theme" plays)
EXT – STREET (NIGHT)
(We open on a street in the outer limits of Haddonfield, IL. We can see
a truck parked on the side of the road.)
CUT TO:
INT – TRUCK (NIGHT)
(We are now inside the TRUCK. A young couple, ROY WATERSON and AMY
WEST, are sitting inside. ROY is dressed in full MICHAEL MYERS attire,
while AMY is dressed as a princess. We can see a hockey mask lying in
the seat, next to ROY. They are talking to each other.)
ROY:
Damn, we are gonna scare the living shit out of those dumb fucks at
Camp Crystal Lake. They won't even know what hit them.
AMY:
ROY, could you please tell me again why we are doing this?
ROY:
Look, AMY, I've told you this before. It's Haddonfield tradition. We
scare those kids every year.
AMY:
I just don't see how dressing up like Michael Myers is funny. It's
sick, if you ask me.
ROY:
Yeah, well I didn't ask you, did I? Now do me a favor and get that
butcher knife out of the bed.
AMY:
Asshole.
(She gets out of the truck.)
CUT TO:
EXT – TRUCK (NIGHT)
(AMY is outside the truck, sorting through the pile of things in the
truck bed. In the pile, we can see a machete, many assorted knives,
masks, and an axe. The girl is rummaging through the things.)
CUT TO:
INT – TRUCK (NIGHT)
(ROY is sitting in the truck, with an impatient look on his face. He
rolls down the window, and puts his head out.)
ROY:
Hey, hurry the hell up!
AMY (Off-Screen):
I'm trying! I don't see the damn knife anywhere!
CUT TO:
EXT – TRUCK (NIGHT)
(AMY is still looking through the pile for the butcher knife, when we
hear a noise behind her. She turns around, frightened.)
AMY:
Hello? Is someone there? Is that you, ROY?
(She shrugs her shoulders and turns back around.)
CUT TO:
(A shot of the real MICHAEL MYERS slowly coming up behind AMY. His mask
is like it was in the movie's opening scene. He is taking very large,
yet very quiet, steps towards AMY.)
AMY:
I found it! I found it!
(MICHAEL throws a plastic grocery bag over AMY'S head. She is screaming
loudly, but it is barely heard at all. MICHAEL begins to drag her into
the woods. She is kicking wildly for a while, but as she disappears
into the darkness, she stops moving.)
CUT TO:
INT – TRUCK (NIGHT)
ROY:
Fuck this. I'm getting the fucking thing myself.
(ROY gets out of the truck and walks to the back. He then notices that
AMY is gone.)
ROY:
Great time to take a piss, AMY! Where the hell are you?
(There is a noise in the woods.)
ROY:
Fuckin' bitch…
(He heads towards the woods, following the sound.)
ROY:
AMY, where the fuck are you?
(ROY turns around, and is standing face-to-face with MICHAEL MYERS.)
ROY:
Good one, buddy. Who's under there, huh? Brian, you under there?
(ROY reaches up and tries to remove MICHAEL'S mask. MICHAEL'S hand
comes up from his side, and we can see that he is holding the butcher
knife that AMY had. He stabs ROY in the stomach. ROY'S eyes go wide,
and he stumbles backwards. MICHAEL steps forward and stabs him one more
time. ROY falls to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth and
stomach. MICHAEL walks over to him and removes his mask. He then takes
off his mask and replaces it with the new one.)
(MICHAEL goes to the truck and gets in the driver's side door. He turns
the keys and drives off.)
FADE TO.
EXT. STREET (MORNING)
(It is now morning. We are on an empty street, except for the truck
from last night, the one that MICHAEL is driving.)
(The truck passes a sign that reads "NOW LEAVING WESSEX COUNTY, NOW
ENTERING CUNNINGHAM COUNTY".)
(Pan down to the seat next to MICHAEL, and we can see a piece of paper
lying in the seat next to him. It is very wrinkled. Zoom in, and we can
make out the following:
Ellie,
Hope you are having fun at Camp Crystal Lake. We hope to see you
soon!
- Mom & Dad)
(Pan down, and we see that lying on the ground next to the sign is
another sign that reads "WELCOME TO CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, except CRYSTAL
LAKE has been scratched out and someone has painted BLOOD in its place,
so the sign reads "WELCOME TO CAMP BLOOD.")
SCENE 2
CUT TO:
EXT – CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE (DAY)
(We are now at Camp Crystal Lake. We can see children running around,
people eating at picnic tables, and other traditional camp activities.)
CUT TO:
(A girl, ELLIE STRODE, is sitting all by herself on a bench, reading
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. She looks about 16 years old, with
brownish-colored hair. Suddenly, a boy, SAM, comes and sits down next
to her.)
SAM:
Hey, ELLIE, you wanna come swimming with us?
ELLIE:
No, thanks. I don't really feel like swimming.
SAM:
Hey, you're not still upset about all that Michael Myers bull shit, are
you?
ELLIE:
Well, to be honest…a little bit, yeah.
SAM:
Eh, well screw them. Look, MICHAEL MYERS has been dead for years. Even
if he was alive, how in the hell would he ever think to come here? We
brought you here to get away from Haddonfield and have a good time,
ELLIE, not to sit around reading all day. C'mon, come have some fun
with us, and stop acting crazy.
ELLIE:
Thanks, really. But I'm just gonna hang out here.
SAM:
Eh, do whatever you want. I'll see ya later.
(SAM leaves and walks off-screen.)
(ELLIE lets out a deep sigh and goes back to reading her book.)
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of an unknown person watching ELLIE from the woods behind
her, breathing heavily. We can see a hand reach forward and move some
branches, making it easier for the audience to see what he/she is
seeing. Suddenly, some kids walk by, and the person backs away quickly,
not wanting to be seen. As the figure slowly inches back into the
woods, cut to a front-shot, and we can barely make out the shape of
MICHAEL MYERS' white mask. He has arrived in Camp Crystal Lake.)
ELLIE:
Maybe I am just crazy after all…
(Pan back to the entrance of Camp Crystal Lake, and, parked on the side
of the road, is the truck that MICHAEL was driving. Cue the Halloween
theme)
SCENE 3
CUT TO:
EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE (DAY)
(We are still in Camp Crystal Lake. The head counselor, BRIAN BANKS, is
standing on the porch of the main cabin. He begins to yell.)
BRIAN:
Attention, everyone! Attention! I need all of the counselors to please
come up here for a meeting! C'mon, people, let's move it!
(A group of people slowly form around the pudgy BRIAN. PAN AROUND, and
we can see four girls, ELLIE STRODE, ALEXIS CARRIE, ANNA SIEVERS, and
JENNA SHOEMAKER, and two boys, WESLEY GILES and JOSH LANGENKAMP. They
are all crowded around the main cabin, waiting for BRIAN to begin
talking.)
BRIAN:
(looks around) Is that everyone? Ok, then. Hi, folks, and welcome to
Camp Crystal Lake. Some of you I know, and some of you I'm meeting for
the first time. Either way, I'm sure that I'll get to know each and
everyone of you this summer. For those that don't know, my name is
BRIAN, and I am the Head Counselor. If you have any problems, come to
me. Before you all leave, there is just one basic rule I want to go
over with you. No one is allowed on the lake after lights out, unless
it is a scheduled camp activity.
ELLIE:
What for?
BRIAN:
Don't worry about the reason. Just obey the rule, and you'll be fine.
Ok, you all have the rest of the day to relax, and remember, lights out
tonight at 10:00. Dismissed!
(The group of counselors disperse, going off in different directions.)
CUT TO:
WESLEY and ANNA walking along the beach.
ANNA:
So, why do you think they don't want us here after lights out?
WESLEY:
You wanna find out?
ANNA:
C'mon, WES, let's not get sent home on the first day.
WESLEY:
Don't worry, nobody'll find out. Sneaking out should be easy enough.
ANNA:
I don't really want to, WES…
WESLEY:
C'mon, please. If we run into anything weird, we'll leave, ok?
ANNA:
(sighs) Ok, WES. But if anything weird happens, we're gone. You clear?
WESLEY:
Crystal.
SCENE 4
CUT TO:
EXT – CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(We are now at Crystal Lake. It is very quiet.
No sounds can be heard, aside from animals and some people far off-
screen. In the distance, we can see many islands and wooded areas.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH
JASON drowning
QUICK CUT TO:
JASON killing someone
QUICK CUT TO:
FREDDY VS. JASON
JASON jamming FREDDY'S own arm through him
QUICK CUT TO:
FREDDY VS. JASON
JASON closes his eye and sinks to the bottom of the lake
Suddenly, the ki ki ki ma ma ma sound begins to play in the background.
We can see a ripple form in the middle of the lake. Slowly but surely,
a body emerges from the lake. Even from far away, we can make out a
hockey mask around the person's head. We now know that this is JASON
VOORHEES. His torso is now visible, and we can see that he grips a
large, rusted machete in his right hand. He continues to walk out of
the lake, until he has completely emerged. He takes one lumbering step
onto the beach, and looks around, as if familiarizing himself with Camp
Crystal Lake once more. It has been many years since JASON''S fight
with FREDDY KRUGER, and he has not seen his beloved home for quite some
time. JASON continues to tilt his head left and right, taking in
everything he sees, until suddenly, a noise is heard off-screen. Pan
left, and we can barely see a few branches rustle in the woods. We can
also make out the white mask of MICHAEL MYERS disappearing into the
woods. JASON jerk!
s his head in the direction of the noise and begins to walk towards
it.)
SCENE 5
WESLEY and ANNA are walking down the sandy trail that leads to the
lake. They are talking to each other.
WESLEY:
So, you in the mood for a little night swim?
ANNA:
Yeah, why not? We're already out here, I guess.
WESLEY:
That's the spirit.
(They continue walking down the path.)
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of someone watching WESLEY and ANNA. We are unsure if it is
MICHAEL or JASON.)
CUT TO:
(WESLEY and ANNA. They have arrived on the beach, and they are heading
toward the lake. WESLEY takes his shirt off, and he is now wearing only
swimming trunks. ANNA takes off her top and pants, revealing a bikini
underneath.)
WESLEY:
You ready?
ANNA:
Sure. Are you?
WESLEY:
You bet. Let's go.
(They wade out into the water slowly, cringing at it's coldness. ANNA
dives under first. She comes back up and pushes her hair out of her
face.)
ANNA:
Ah, this feels great!
WESLEY:
Are you kidding? It's damn freezing out here.
ANNA:
Oh, quit being a big baby!
(An odd cracking noise is heard from the woods. WESLEY jerks his head
towards the sound.)
WESLEY:
Did you hear that?
ANNA:
Stop being paranoid!
WESLEY:
I'm serious. I heard something, like a cracking sound, from the woods.
ANNA:
Well, why don't you go check it out, Mr. Paranoid?
WESLEY:
Yeah, ok.
(He walks out of the lake, and puts on his shirt. He shakes the water
out of his hair, and begins to walk towards the woods.)
WESLEY:
I know I heard something.
(WESLEY walks into the woods. Pan around, and we cannot see much, just
trees and such. WESLEY looks around in all directions, trying to find
what made the sound.)
WESLEY:
Hey, is someone here?
(Silence.)
WESLEY:
Jesus Christ, maybe I am just being paranoid…
(WESLEY turns around, and begins to walk back to the water.)
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of someone walking up behind WESLEY. Pan down VERY
slightly, and we can see a machete is gripped in their left hand.)
WESLEY:
Sorry about that, baby. It must have been nothing.
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of the person. He/She walks up behind WESLEY and stabs the
machete through his back.)
(WESLEY doesn't make a sound. He falls to the ground, and the person
pulls the machete out of his back. We can hear a sickening sliding
sound as it is pulled out. Then the person begins to walk towards the
beach.)
CUT TO:
(ANNA, who is still swimming in the lake, unaware of what is going on.)
ANNA:
WESLEY! Did you say something? WESLEY!
(She gets out of the water.)
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of the still-unknown person watching ANNA get out of the
water. She begins to walk up the beach, calling for WESLEY. The person
leaves his/her hiding place and follows her.)
(ANNA is walking on the beach, when she begins to get the feeling that
someone is following her. She wheels around, but sees no one. She
continues walking.)
(Cut to the P.O.V. of the person stalking ANNA. He is right behind her
now. ANNA turns around once more, and screams at the sight of her
attacker. She falls on the ground, and begins to crawl backwards. The
killer follows her, taking slow, silent steps. She is babbling and
crying as she tries desperately to get away. After a few feet, she
backs into WESLEY'S corpse. She screams, and then attempts to get up
and run away. The stalker raises the machete and slams it into ANNA'S
head.)
(She falls to the ground, dead, the machete still sticking out of the
top of her head. Her body lies right next to WESLEY'S. We can see the
killer standing over the two bodies. Start at his feet and pan upward.
When we get to his face, we can see that he is wearing a white mask. It
was not JASON, it was MICHAEL MYERS. He walks back into the woods.)
(MICHAEL walks back to his truck and puts the bloody machete in the in
the front seat. He grabs his butcher knife, closes the door, and walks
back into the woods.)
FADE TO BLACK.
SCENE 6
FADE IN.
EXT – HADDONFIELD (DAY)
(We are in what appears to be a bedroom of some sort. Pan around, and
we can see a man, sitting in a recliner in the middle of the room. He
is watching television. He looks about half-asleep. He is a young man,
maybe 20 years old. He is clean shaven, with short hair and glasses.
His attire consists of a t-shirt and khakis. Suddenly, he tilts his
head and looks at the television.)
MAN:
What in the hell?
CUT TO:
(A shot of the television. It is showing some kind of news broadcast.)
ANNOUNCER (ON T.V.):
Good afternoon, and welcome to Eye-On News. Our top story tonight:
Trouble in Crystal Lake. After many years of silence, there may once
again be trouble brewing in the small camp. This morning, two campers,
WESLEY GILES and ANNA SIEVERS were reported missing. A few campers said
that they had seen what appeared to be a person walking around in the
woods. One girl even said she could make out what looked like a white
mask of some kind.
(The television turns off.)
(SIMON goes over to the phone and picks it up. He dials a number, and
holds the receiver to his ear.)
SIMON:
Yes, hello, Police Station?
MAN ON OTHER END:
Yes, sir. How can we help you?
SIMON:
I need to speak to the Sheriff.
MAN ON OTHER END:
Ok, just hold on one second.
SIMON:
Ok.
(There is a short pause.)
MAN ON OTHER END:
Hello? This is SHERIFF HICKS.
LOOMIS:
Hello, sir. My name is SIMON LOOMIS.
HICKS:
Oh, I've heard of you. You're Sam Loomis' nephew, aren't you?
SIMON:
Yes, that's me. But we don't have time for that right now. We may have
an emergency on our hands, Sheriff.
HICKS:
What kind of emergency?
SIMON:
Have you seen the news today, sheriff? Have you heard the news about
Camp Crystal Lake.
HICKS:
Yeah, I heard about that. What about it?
SIMON:
One girl said that she saw someone walking around in the woods……wearing
a white mask.
HICKS:
What are you implying?
SIMON:
I don't know how much more blunt I can be, Sheriff. It has to be
MICHAEL.
HICKS:
Even if you're right, why would he go to Camp Crystal Lake?
SIMON:
Look, we need to talk, but not on the phone. I am going to Camp Crystal
Lake. I'll be waiting for you there.
HICKS:
Now wait just a damn—
(SIMON hangs up the phone.)
(SIMON walks out of the door, gets in his car, starts it, and drives
off into the distance.)
FADE TO BLACK.
SCENE 7
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE WOODS (EVENING)
(We are now in the woods of Camp Crystal Lake. It is mid-late evening.
We can see JASON VOORHEES walking around the woods, probably still
searching for the strange figure he saw upon getting out of the lake
earlier.)
CUT TO:
(MICHAEL'S P.O.V., as he is watching JASON. We can see through the
eyeholes of MICHAEL'S mask. JASON has his back turned to MICHAEL and is
walking in the opposite direction. MICHAEL takes one step forward,
cracking a tree branch. JASON wheels around.)
CUT TO:
(JASON is now walking towards MICHAEL, who is now clearly visible.
JASON is gripping his machete tightly. MICHAEL steps forward and stabs
JASON in the stomach. JASON looks down at the blade stuck in his
abdomen, and then at MICHAEL. MICHAEL tilts his head in confusion.
MICHAEL retracts the blade and proceeds to stab JASON over and over,
until the blade is dripping with JASON'S blackish blood. MICHAEL takes
a step back, and tilts his head once again, still in awe that this
person will not die. Now it's JASON'S turn. He lunges forward, and
slashes the machete upward, striking MICHAEL in the chest. MICHAEL
stumbles backward, and falls against a tree. He is bleeding. JASON
looks down at him for a few moments, and then, there is a noise
somewhere behind JASON. He turns around quickly, and takes a few steps
forward. He realizes that there is nothing there and turns back around.
MICHAEL is gone. There is only a small bloodstain where he was just
lying. JASON turns around in all dir!
ections, and then walks off, deeper into the woods, to look for
MICHAEL.)
SCENE 8
INT – SIMON LOOMIS' CAR (NIGHT)
SIMON:
(To himself) I told them…I knew all along that he wasn't dead…you can't
just burn MICHAEL MYERS and expect him never to return. Fucking idiots,
they just don't understand…not like my uncle did. But I'll be damned if
I'm gonna let that bastard start killing again. Get ready, MICHAEL, I'm
coming for you.
CUT TO:
(A shot of SIMON'S car driving off into the distance. He passes the
same sign that MICHAEL did earlier, the Camp Blood sign.)
CUT TO:
(BRIAN BANKS, talking to JOSH LANGENKAMP.)
BRIAN:
So, you're sure you didn't hear WES or ANNA say anything about going to
the lake after lights out?
JOSH:
No, I didn't hear anything. If WES was going to the lake, he'd probably
have told me about it.
BRIAN:
(sigh) Ok, then. You can go now.
(JOSH walks off-screen. We hear a door open and close.)
BRIAN:
What in the hell is going on here?
CUT TO:
(Random shots of the campers running around the beach, playing and
laughing. Among them we can see ELLIE STRODE, sitting on the same bench
as earlier. She appears to be staring off into space.)
CUT TO:
(The P.O.V. of MICHAEL, watching ELLIE from the bushes.)
SCENE 8
CUT TO:
EXT – CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE WOODS (DAY)
(We are in the woods. JASON is still walking around, searching for
MICHAEL. The "Laurie's Theme" plays in the background.)
CUT TO:
(A shot of MICHAEL standing in front of a tree. He takes a side-step
and we cannot see him anymore. JASON approaches the tree and swings his
machete at it. He looks all around the tree but MICHAEL is nowhere to
be found. JASON walks off, and we can see MICHAEL is standing behind
him, breathing heavily.)
SCENE 9
CUT TO:
INT – MAIN CABIN (NIGHT)
(All of the counselors are gathered in the main cabin. BRIAN is
speaking.)
BRIAN:
Ok, so we're all clear. No one is to leave the campfire unless someone
goes with them. We don't want any more missing people, but we're not
going to let that incident spoil our fun. Campfire stories are a
tradition here at Camp Crystal Lake, and that is not going to change.
Is everyone ready?
(He looks around the room, and everyone is nodding their head "yes.")
BRIAN:
Ok, then let's get moving!
(They all exit the cabin and begin walking towards the lake.)
CUT TO:
(The group of counselors are gathered around a campfire. BRIAN is in
the center.)
BRIAN:
Well, now that we're all here, let's go ahead and get started.
ALEXIS:
What story are you gonna tell, BRIAN?
BRIAN:
The story I'm going to tell is one that everyone knows, and one that
everyone tries to forget: The Legend of the Crystal Lake Killer, JASON
VOORHEES.
(The counselors give each other scared-looking glances, then focus
their attention back on BRIAN.)
BRIAN:
Well, it all started back in 1957. JASON VOORHEES was a camper here at
Camp Crystal Lake. He was not you're average camper, you see. He
suffered from mental and physical retardation, and suffered endless
abuse from his fellow campers.
QUICK CUT TO:
FREDDY VS. JASON
LORI'S dream where they're abusing JASON
BRIAN:
One day, while JASON was near the lake, he fell in and drowned.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH
JASON drowning and screaming "Help me, Mommy!"
The counselors could have saved him, if they weren't so busy having sex
in the main cabin. Well, soon after that, bodies began piling up.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH
ANNIE getting her throat slit, JACK getting an arrow through the neck
from under the bed, MARCIE screaming then getting axed in the head
BRIAN:
Eventually, it was found out that the killer was JASON'S mother, Pamela
Voorhees.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH
PAMELA holding ALICE
PAMELA:
Jason was my son, and today is his birthday.
BRIAN:
She killed all of the counselors, except for one named Alice, who
succeeded in decapitating her.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH
ALICE grabbing the machete by the shore in slow motion and running at
Mrs. Voorhees then decapitating her.
BRIAN:
But what Pamela didn't know was that JASON was still very much alive.
He lived in the woods, and killed and stole to stay alive, like some
kind of beast. A few years after Pamela's death, a group of kids came
to stay at the camp and were brutally slaughtered.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2
ALICE getting an ice pick in her head, CRAZY RALPH being strangled,
MARK getting macheted in the face then pushed down the stairs, and
finally SANDRA and JEFF getting double impaled with a spear.
BRIAN:
The killer was described as wearing a burlap sack over his head and
wielding an axe. This person, to many people's surprise, was JASON
VOORHEES.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2
JASON coming in, and GINNY with the sweater on
GINNY:
Jason! It's all done Jason. You've done your job well and Mommy is
pleased.
We now see GINYN become MRS. VOORHEES
MRS. VOORHEES:
That's it, Jason. Come to Mommy. Mother has a reward for you.
JASON then comes after her
GINNY:
JASON, MOTHER IS TALKING TO YOU!
She then again becomes MRS. VOORHEES
MRS. VOORHEES:
Jason. Mother is talking to you. That's it come here, kneel. Kneel for
Mommy.
JASON then sees the head, his eye widens, and attacks GINNY.
BRIAN:
The next few days, JASON single-handedly killed almost every person to
come to the camp.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART III AND FINAL CHAPTER
We see LOCO gutted in the stomach with a pitchfork, a spear fired into
VERA'S eye, ANDY macheted in half, CHUCK electrocuted on a fuse box, a
knife though the HITCHHIKER'S neck, PAUL get a spear to the groan,
JIMMY get a corkscrew in the hand, then clevered in the face, and
DOUG'S head get crushed with his bare hands.
BRIAN:
One person did survive JASON'S killing spree, however: A boy by the
name of TOMMY JARVIS.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH THE FINAL CHAPTER
TOMMY throws a machete at JASON'S head, he falls down and it spilts his
head open, TOMMY then sees JASON'S hand twitch, so he picks up the
machete and repedily slashes him while screaming "DIE!"
BRIAN:
TOMMY was cursed by JASON. He couldn't get him out of his nightmares.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING
TOMMY looking out his window and seeing JASON, he then rubs his eyes
and JASON'S gone
BRIAN:
So, to make sure, TOMMY went to JASON'S grave and dug him up. That
didn't work out so well.
QUICK CUT TO:
FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES!
We see TOMMY jam a spear into him, leave to get gasoline, then a
lightning bolt strikes it and JASON'S eye opens.
BRIAN:
Unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from TOMMY in quite some time.
Now according to official police reports, JASON is dead. He was killed
by a SWAT team a few years ago.
QUICK CUT TO:
JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY
We see police shooting JASON, him screaming, then a bomb coming down
and blowing him up.
BRIAN:
Some people will tell you JASON has been dead for years. But others
will tell you that he's still out there, ready to kill to avenge his
mother and protect his home. It's all a matter of opinion weather or
not he's still out there, but the truth is: JASON VOORHEES is real.
(The kids around the campfire exchange scared glances once again, some
turn and look over their shoulders.)
BRIAN:
And that's the end of my little story. I hope you all enjoyed it.
ELLIE:
That's nothing.
BRIAN:
What's that, ELLIE?
ELLIE:
That's not scary at all. It's just some over grown retard crying for
Mommy. Get comfy, and I'll tell you a real scary story: The Story of
MICHAEL MYERS.
BRIAN:
Ok, let's hear it.
ELLIE:
My story takes place in Haddonfield, Illinois, my hometown. When
MICHAEL MYERS was only six years old, he stabbed his sister to death
with a kitchen knife.
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN
The POV enters the room, and we see a naked girl, JUDITH MYERS,
brushing her hair, she yells "Michael!", then gets stabbed
ELLIE:
He was sent to Smith's Grove Mental Hospital for 15 years. For 15 long
years, MICHAEL didn't speak, he didn't even move, really. His doctor,
SAM LOOMIS, believed that MICHAEL was pure evil.
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN EXTENDED CUT
DR. LOOMIS is going over to MICHAEL starring at a wall
DR. LOOMIS:
You fooled them, haven't you Michael? But not me.
ELLIE:
Finally, one cold, rainy night, MICHAEL escaped and stole a car. He was
headed for Haddonfield.
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN
We see attack MARION and steal the car and leave
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN
LAURIE STRODE and her friends are walking down the street, and MICHAEL
comes out of a bush
ELLIE:
For years and years, MICHAEL stalked the remaining blood relatives of
his family…
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN 5
We see JAMIE LLOYD laying in a casket.
JAMIE:
Uncle… Boogeyman?
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN 6
MICHAEL killing JAMIE LLOYD
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN H20
MICHAEL going after JOHN TATE
ELLIE:
one-by-one… including my sister, LAURIE STRODE.
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN: RESSURECTION
We see her fall off the roof, and get a knife in her back. She kisses
MICHAEL
LAURIE:
I'll see you in Hell.
She then falls off the roof into some branches and finally falling
down.
BRIAN:
And this MICHAEL guy, what does he look like?
ELLIE:
That's hard to say, because most people haven't lived to give a
description. The only thing people know for sure is that he wears a
featureless white mask, which he never removes.
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN
LAURIE removes MICHAEL'S mask and he quickly puts in back on
ELLIE:
Some believe that MICHAEL is pure evil…
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN
LOOMIS is talking to BRACKETT
LOOMIS:
…I spent 8 years trying to reach him and then another 7 trying to keep
him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes
was purely and simply… evil.
ELLIE:
…but the scariest part is…he's my brother. And that's the end of my
story.
(Everyone claps.)
BRIAN:
Well, I hope all of you enjoyed our little ghost story session. Let's
all go ahead and head back to the cabins now.
(They all get up and leave. As they are walking back towards the
cabins, we can see MICHAEL watching them from the woods. We can only
see his white mask as it disappears into the darkness.)
FADE TO BLACK.
SCENE 10
FADE IN.
INT – HADDONFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT (DAY)
(We are now in the Haddonfield Police Department. The room is empty,
except for a large man sitting in a desk at the front of the room. He
is wearing a police uniform, and the name HICKS is visible on his name
pin. This is SHRIFF HICKS.)
(He picks up a telephone and dials some digits. He puts the receiver to
his ear.)
HICKS:
Yeah, hey, lemme talk to the Chief.
HICKS:
(after a short pause) Hey, Chief. This is HICKS, over here at the
Haddonfield Police Department. Listen, I just got a call from some guy
over at Camp Crystal Lake that needs some assistance. If you don't
mind, I'm gonna take this.
HICKS:
(after another pause) Yeah. Ok. I shouldn't be gone more than a day or
two.
(He hangs up the phone, and walks out of the station.)
SCENE 11
CUT TO:
INT – CABIN (NIGHT)
(TITLE: HALLOWEEN)
(We are in the head cabin. BRIAN and JOSH are engaged in an arm
wrestling match being watched by ELLIE and JENNA. ALEXIS is listening
to her CD player on the bed. BRIAN seems to be getting the upper hand
in the match, when ALEXIS steps in.)
ALEXIS:
(with a seductive look) JOSH, I can think of much better things you
could be doing with your hands right now…
(She walks off into the back room.)
JOSH:
Looks like you win, buddy. See ya!
(He runs to the back room with ALEXIS.)
BRIAN:
Hey, ELLIE, I'm going outside to smoke, ok?
ELLIE:
Ok.
(He walks outside.)
CUT TO:
EXT. CABIN PORCH (NIGHT)
(BRIAN is standing on the front porch of the cabin smoking a cigarette.
Off-screen, we can hear what sounds like branches snapping and
cracking.)
BRIAN:
Hey, who's there?
(He shrugs his shoulders and takes another drag of his cigarette. Once
again, he hears a noise.)
BRIAN:
(jerks his head sideways) Dude, what the fuck?
(As he whips his head around, his cigarette falls out of his mouth.)
BRIAN:
Dammit.
(He bends over and picks up his cigarette.)
CUT TO:
(A front-shot of BRIAN as he comes back up after picking up his
cigarette. He looks forward, and he jumps back, startled.)
CUT TO:
(JASON VOORHEES is standing over BRIAN now, machete raised.)
BRIAN:
No fucking way—
(JASON swings his machete downward.)
CUT TO:
(Blood spraying on the cabin wall and the ground.)
(JASON looks down on the body, breathing very heavily. We can hear the
"ki ki ki ma ma ma" sound in the background.)
CUT TO:
(JENNA and ELLIE in the cabin, talking.)
ELLIE:
Shh, did you hear that?
JENNA:
Hear what?
ELLIE:
I dunno, it sounded like something heavy falling.
JENNA:
Probably nothing…
ELLIE:
Well, let's go check.
(They get up and walk out onto the porch.)
(They look around for a bit.)
JENNA:
See, I told you it was noth—
ELLIE:
Oh my god!
JENNA:
What? What is it?
ELLIE:
It looks like……blood.
(JENNA walks over to where ELLIE is standing.)
JENNA:
(puts hand over mouth and gasps) Oh my god…
JENNA:
I think we should go inside now……
ELLIE:
(scared) Yeah, good idea.
(They go back inside.)
ELLIE:
Think we should call the cops or something?
JENNA:
Yeah, definitely. What the hell do you think happened out there?
ELLIE:
I don't know…but I just hope BRIAN is ok.
(JENNA picks up the phone.)
JENNA:
(after a short pause) The line's dead.
ELLIE:
Dammit, are you sure?
JENNA:
Yep. We're gonna have to either stay here or walk to the police
station.
ELLIE:
I vote we just stay here. We don't want to get lost out there in the
woods.
JENNA:
Yeah.
ELLIE:
Think we should get JOSH and ALEXIS?
JENNA:
Nah. We'll wait until they're done with their "business."
ELLIE:
(giggles) Ok, then.
(From off-screen, a voice is heard.)
???:
You're all doomed if you stay here.
(The girls stand up and look to whoever made the sound.)
JENNA:
Ok, buddy, who the hell are you?
???:
My name's not important.
JENNA:
Like hell it's not! You better tell me who you are or some serious shit
is gonna go down, mister!
CUT TO:
(The person that has entered the cabin. He is a man, maybe in his late
30's, dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt. On his face is a
look of concern.)
???:
My name is TOMMY JARVIS.
ELLIE:
(to herself) JARVIS? Like in the story from last night…
TOMMY:
You're all going to die if you stay here. JASON VOORHEES is here, and
he's killing again.
JENNA:
Don't give me that bullshit. JASON has been dead for years.
TOMMY:
Do you really believe that? JASON VOORHEES is not just something that
goes away. He will keep on killing until someone puts an end to him
once and for all.
JENNA:
…And you're saying that you know how?
TOMMY:
Yes, I do.
ELLIE:
Is…is he really here?
TOMMY:
Yes. I just recently stumbled upon two bodies on my way here, both
slashed to death with a machete; JASON'S weapon of choice.
ELLIE:
JENNA, do you think it could be WES and ANNA?
JENNA:
Ok, look. Even if JASON was alive, what reason would he have to come
after us?
TOMMY:
(laughs) You think he needs a reason? JASON is a killing machine, his
only purpose in this world is to kill to avenge his mother. He kills
anyone and anything.
(From off-screen, we hear a door open. ALEXIS and JOSH walk out into
the room. ALEXIS' hair is messed up, and JOSH has a big grin on his
face.)
JOSH:
Hey, who the hell's this?
TOMMY:
I'm the one that's going to save you from JASON VOORHEES, that's who I
am.
JOSH:
Yeah, whatever you say, buddy. You must be one dumb fuck if you expect
us to believe in all that JASON bull—
(The blade of a machete goes right through JOSH'S back. He looks down
at the wound, and then back at his friends.)
JOSH:
……shit.
(The machete is retracted quickly, and we can now see that JASON in
it's carrier. He is breathing heavily, and the "ki ki ki ma ma ma"
sound is playing. The kids all scream and run out of the cabin.)
(As they are leaving the cabin, ALEXIS trips on the porch. She is
getting up, when JASON slams his foot down on her back. She screams for
a while, and then JASON takes his machete and shoves it into her
throat.)
CUT TO:
(A shot of ALEXIS' face. Blood has splattered onto her face, and it
leaks from her mouth. In her neck is a huge gaping wound. JASON looks
down at her for a moment, and then continues his pursuit.)
CUT TO:
(TOMMY, ELLIE, and JENNA are still running in the woods. They stop for
a moment, when TOMMY begins to speak.)
TOMMY:
(while breathing heavily) There's a house not too far from here. We can
hide there for a while. C'mon, follow me.
(They continue running.)
SCENE 12
INT – HOUSE (NIGHT)
(We are now in a house. The door swings open, and TOMMY, JENNA, and
ELLIE run in, all breathing heavily.)
TOMMY:
Ok, this should buy us some time, but we can't stay here forever. He'll
find us.
ELLIE:
What are we going to do?
TOMMY:
I don't know…I just don't know.
(Suddenly, and old couple come running down the stairs, yelling.)
MAN:
What in the hell do you kids think you're doing in our home?
WOMAN:
Get out! Get out!
(ELLIE then looks at the wall and starts to stutter. She sees the word
"SAMHAIN" and the symbol of "THORN" written in blood on the wall.)
ELLIE:
Oh fuck.
(Out of a dark corner in the room, MICHAEL comes out and stabs OLD LADY
in the chest. She falls down the stairs and brings her husband with
her. She cries out in pain, she's to the brink of death when BOOM! The
door flies, open as JASON stands there breathing heavily while the
Jason X Theme plays. JASON stabs the old lady with the machete. JASON
then grabs the old guy's skull and pushes two fingers into his brain.)
TOMMY:
Get out, get out, now!
(They all run towards the hallway, and enter a bedroom.)
ELLIE:
There, the window! Hurry up and open it!
(TOMMY opens up the window. They all climb out. On the way down, JENNA
hurts her ankle.)
JENNA:
Ow, fuck! My ankle!
TOMMY:
Can you walk on it?
JENNA:
Yeah, I'll be fine, don't worry.
(She gets up, and they all run off.)
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE (NIGHT)
(JASON and MICHAEL are still staring each other down in the house.
Finally, JASON takes a step forward and slashes his machete at MICHAEL.
MICHAEL jumps out of the way, and stabs JASON in the shoulder. MICHAEL
retracts the knife, and begins stabbing JASON all over his arms and
chest. JASON then takes his boot and kicks MICHAEL to the ground. JASON
takes his machete and lunges downward at MICHAEL. He rolls out of the
way, and stabs JASON in the back of the leg. JASON falls over, but on
the way down manages to slash MICHAEL in the chest. JASON gets up, and
lunges forward. He stabs MICHAEL in the chest. MICHAEL stabs JASON in
the side of the head. JASON pulls the machete out, and throws his hands
up towards his head. JASON falls to his knees, and then to the ground.
He appears to be dead. MICHAEL looks down at him, tilting his head in a
confused manner, still wondering why he can't kill this man. MICHAEL
leaves the house.)
(JASON'S eyes pop open)
CUT TO:
EXT – HOUSE (NIGHT)
(JASON runs outside grabs MICHAEL and throws him back inside.)
CUT TO:
INT – HOUSE (NIGHT)
(MICHAEL flies through the door. JASON walks inside, grabs MICHAEL'S
head and smashes it against the wall many times. He then breaks off the
rail and starts beating MICHAEL with it. He picks up the machete and
rapidly stabs MICHAEL in the back. JASON is really pissed at the fact
that MICHAEL won't die. MICHAEL then rips the machete out of JASON'S
hand and sticks it in JASON'S chest. He puts his hands around and yanks
it out of his chest and throws it at MICHAEL, but misses. MICHAEL
breaks the machete out of the wall, and cuts JASON'S throat with the
broken machete. JASON coughs up greenish goo. JASON then grabs MICHAEL
and throws him down the stairs making him land in the basement. JASON
walks down the stairs.)
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(TOMMY, JENNA, and ELLIE are at Crystal Lake.)
JENNA:
Do…do you think they killed each other?
TOMMY:
Don't count on it.
(They then rest and sit down)
CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE – (NIGHT)
(JASON walks down the stairs and sees a bunch of tools, then sees
MICHAEL laying down appearing to be dead. JASON wondering whether or
not he killed him pokes MICHAEL'S chest. MICHAEL'S eyes pop open and he
grabs JASON'S hand and breaks it then pops up. He then rapidity punches
JASON in the chest then grabs a screwdriver on the ground and sticks it
in JASON'S eye. JASON takes a few steps back and MICHAEL finds another
knife off of the floor and he sticks it in JASON'S groan. JASON doesn't
feel a thing. MICHAEL picks up a hammer and he bashes JASON in the head
with it. JASON grabs MICHAEL'S head then kicks him making MICHAEL fly
back. He goes down to MICHAEL and grabs MICHAEL'S head trying to crush
it. MICHAEL screams in pain then uses his hand to punch JASON in the
face. MICHAEL then finds a machete on the ground and picks it up.)
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(TOMMY, ELLIE, and JENNA are all rested and scared)
TOMMY:
JASON I get. But who was that other guy the one with the blank mask?
ELLIE:
MICHAEL fucking MYERS-
JENNA:
Her brother.
ELLIE:
He's a psycho killer similar to JASON. He killed his older sister when
he was 6. Now, he keeps coming back on Halloween to kill his family
members.
TOMMY:
Gee, I thought JASON was unique.
JENNA:
Nah. I got a million of ‘em like this psycho cannibal family up in
Texas who-
ELLIE:
We don't have time for this. MICHAEL and/or JASON could be back any
second.
TOMMY:
With our luck, they've probably joined sides and are gonna double team
us.
JENNA:
Please, Jarvis, I've had enough scary stories tonight I don't need that
though entering my mind.
CUT TO:
INT – BASEMENT
(MICHAEL slices chunks off JASON'S chest with the machete. He then
impales JASON to the ground with the machete. He then picks up a
gasoline tank and pours it all over JASON. The Halloween Theme starts
to play and MICHAEL walks up the stairs and takes out a lighter and
throws it on JASON off-screen. As MICHAEL walks out of the building, we
hear JASON'S deep screams.)
CUT TO:

TOMMY:
Look right there, a canoe. We can make it out of here, we can- what?

JENNA:
You gotta be fuckin' kiddin'.
(MICHAEL charges at them, and ELLIE elbows him in the face and throws
him to the ground, ELLIE and JENNA back away as TOMMY picks up the
machete and starts to slash MICHAEL)
TOMMY:
DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(JENNA looks at ELLIE)
JENNA:
Not much has changed has it?
(ELLIE then looks over)
ELLIE:
I got some good news and I got some bad news.
JENNA:
What?
ELLIE:
The bad news, JASON'S back.
(JENNA then looks over and sees JASON'S standing with burnt clothing
and a flaming machete while the ki ki ki ma ma ma plays)
ELLIE:
The good news, JASON'S back.
(JASON then looks over at MICHAEL, then ELLIE looks at TOMMY)
ELLIE (screaming at TOMMY):
TOMMY! JASON'S BACK! GET OVER HERE!
(JASON walks over to MICHAEL who's just standing up, they're ready to
fight again, MICHAEL tries to slash JASON with the broken machete but
JASON slashes MICHAEL with the flaming one first, MICHAEL then grabs
the flaming machete and throws it in the water, MICHAEL then slashes
JASON in the legs multiple times making him go backwards, JASON picks
up a tree branch and hits MICHAEL with it causing him to fly several
feet against a tree)
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(TOMMY is grabbing the canoe)
TOMMY:
Come on, they're fighting and will kill each other. Let's get the fuck
outta here.
ELLIE:
No, you don't understand. My ENTIRE life has been haunted because of
MICHAEL. He's killed EVERYONE in my family, my SISTER, my NIECE. I AM
NOT LEAVING UNTIL I SEE HIM DIE!
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE WOODS (NIGHT)
(JASON picks up MICHAEL and slams him against the tree multiple times
ala Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. MICHAEL grabs a piece of
glass on the ground and slices off the front of JASON'S foot. He looks
down at MICHAEL, and sticks his thumbs in MICHAEL'S eyes causing blood
to drip from his eyes ala Halloween II. JASON punches MICHAEL in the
face a few times.)
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(TOMMY, JENNA, and ELLIE watch the fight)
ELLIE:
Oh, shit, I just realized, if JASON kills MICHAEL, then who's gonna
kill JASON?
TOMMY:
You're right, last time I went in the canoe, and he followed me all the
way out there. He'll probably do it again.
JENNA:
What do we do?
TOMMY:
Wait. I got an idea.
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE WOODS (NIGHT)
("LAURIE'S THEME" starts to play, as JASON'S still beating on MICHAEL,
we then hear some screaming, JASON puts MICHAEL down and turns around
and sees TOMMY)
TOMMY:
Come on, Jason! Remember me, you goo-infested maggot head? You do don't
ya? I killed you! Twice!
(JASON'S eye opens wide as if to say "YOU!", and he ignores MICHAEL and
walks toward TOMMY)
TOMMY:
Hey, asshole, let me tell ya something! Your mama's a sweet piece of
pussy! I fucked her so hard last night her head came off!
(JASON now is heading towards TOMMY with the broken machete)

(JASON then stands up and grabs the machete)
TOMMY:
THAT'S NOT MICHAEL! THAT'S JASON VOORHEES!
LOOMIS:
JASON VOOR-what?
HICKS:
You mean that guy that killed all those kids at Camp Blood?
JENNA:
WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE ARE?
HICKS:

(MICHAEL has just stabbed HICKS in the shoulder with a piece of glass,
LOOMIS looks at MICHAEL, as the rest try to help HICKS)
LOOMIS:
So you're him huh? MICHAEL AUDREY MYERS. The man my uncle was obsessed
with.
(MICHAEL tilts his head making a connection to DR. LOOMIS)
QUICK CUT TO:
HALLOWEEN EXTENDED CUT
CHILD MICHAEL starring at a wall and LOOMIS talking to him
(LOOMIS is now chuckling)
LOOMIS:
You're the bastard that caused my uncle to commit suicide right? You're
not that bad.
(LOOMIS then tries to punch MICHAEL but MICHAEL grabs his hand, JASON
then sneaks behind MICHAEL with a chain and strangles MICHAEL until
JASON thinks he's dead, JASON picks up the body and throws it in the
lake)

MICHAEL moves backwards. JASON stops, and just looks at MICHAEL for a
moment, as if studying him.)
CUT TO:
EXT – CRYSTAL LAKE (NIGHT)
(TOMMY looks at the fight with a confused look)
TOMMY:
What are they doing? It's like they're too fascinated with each other
to fight... JASON has never met a foe that he could not defeat
before...
JENNA:
Look! They're moving towards the boat dock!
CUT TO:
EXT – BOAT DOCK
(JASON throws MICHAEL onto the dock)
LOOMIS:
MICHAEL!
(LOOMIS then shoots MICHAEL in the face and causes his mask to fall
off. His face is normal yet still something spooky about it. MICHAEL
gets really scared and quickly puts the mask back on. JASON grabs his
head and bashes it on the dock. LOOMIS comes over and kicks MICHAEL in
the face.)
LOOMIS:
BASTARD!
(JASON then looks at LOOMIS and grabs his leg and yanks it off)

machete in MICHAEL'S stomach and splatters his intestines all over the

(JENNA looks down at the intestines and shivers then goes back)
TOMMY:
They did seem weak and beaten.
HICKS:
Yeah, I think it's safe to assume they're down there to stay.
(MICHAEL then jumps out of the lake and onto the dock)
ELLIE:
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
(MICHAEL'S mask is groggy and wet and all deformed, we puts up his hand
showing a black hear still beating in it. It is the heart of JASON
VOORHEES. JASON then jumps up with the chains. He wraps them around
MICHAEL'S neck and pulls off his head as MICHAEL crushes the heart.)
HICKS
Well, they gotta be dead now.
LOOMIS
Yes. Evil has been stopped. MICHAEL'S dead.
(TOMMY then just stairs at the water then murmurs to himself)
TOMMY
You're finally dead, aren't ya JASON? No more haunting my dreams.

ENDING PART 1: THE JASON ENDING
THE WATER EXPLODES TO REVEAL JASON with MICHAEL'S mask in hand. STEVEN
turns and looks around for a weapon, anything that he can use but there
is nothing.
STEVEN
Okay, problem.
JASON quickly reaches the shore...just as STEVEN dives and grabs
JASON'S machete. JASON attacks STEVEN and grabs onto his neck, slowly
lifting him into the air.
STEVEN
Alright, you asked for it.
STEVEN slams the machete into his heart.
STEVEN
That's for me.

That's for me and...
