                       MRS. JONES
Hello class I'm Mrs. Jones and
this is senior English. I'm sure
you already knew that. Since you
are seniors I won't be assigning
seats, you can sit where you want.
No need for role call I've had all
of you in at least one class
before. This year you will be
reading a lot of Shakespeare,
poetry by authors such as Robert
Frost, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia
Plath, also some Charles
Dickinson. We will discuss these
stories; have homework every now
and then. There will be a test
after every story, for longer
stories there will be several
small quizzes and then a final
test on the story. I'm telling you
this now your final will be a book
report. You can choose any book
you like, but I must approve it.
Now that you know what we will be
doing this year I will pass out
your books. Oh one more thing the
rules are posted beside the
chalkboard follow these rules and
we will get along just fine.
      (Begins to pass
       out the books)
Now since it's the first day of
school this will be all were
doing. I'm sure you guys want to
socialize and I need to get some
work done, but if it gets too loud
in here you will be working. When
you get the book like always write
your name in it.
      (Finishes passing
       out the books and
       goes and sits
       down at her desk,
       and she gets a
       piece of notebook
       paper and pen.)
I'm going to pass this paper
around, write your name and your
book number. Now I'm done.
                                                            

11.

The paper begins to make it's self around the room. Dan,
Vicki, Molly and Jayne began to talk.
                                                            
                       DAN
So Vicki what are you doing after
school?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’m not sure. Anyone got any
plans?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Well I'm stuck here longer then
you guys, but I'm probably staying
here to watch Bob at football
practice, then we'll probably go
out somewhere. How about you
Molly?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Since I actually have a day off of
work I'm going straight to Mike's
house he is supposed to take me
out to the movies
                                                            
                       VICKI
A drive in I’m sure. Anyway I
thought you two broke up?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
We did for like three days, but
then we got back together.
                                                            
                       DAN

our rival school five years ago
right?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah that’s him.
      (Slight pause)
So what are you two doing tonight?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don't work at the diner today,
but I know Joe has to work at the
gas station after school
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
Quiet down guys, this is the only
warning you get.
                                                            

12.

Everyone quiets down and starts to talk softer
                                                            
                       VICKI

                       DAN
Well I have to do some chores at
home that’s about it.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I guess it's just the two of
us. So how about I come over and
help you with your chores, that
way we can get smoke sooner.

Sounds good to me. Do you need a
ride home?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah just so I can get some old
clothes to work in.
                                                            
The noise level has slowly gotten louder. Mrs. Jones stands
up
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
You guys have gotten to loud. I

Everyone opens up their books and starts to read. Vicki rest
her head on her hand and starts reading. Goes into Vicki's
P.O.V..She quickly falls asleep. The bell RINGS she jumps up
at the sudden loud sound. Everyone gets up and leaves the
classroom. Dan, Vicki, Jayne and Molly walk down the hallway
to their lockers to put away their books. Beside their
lockers are the cheerleaders Valerie, Debbie, and Jackie.
Valerie is a tall slender blond haired blue eyed teenage
girl. She is a senior and the leader of her clan of
cheerleaders. She is stuck up and is stuck on herself she
believes she is better then everyone else. Debbie is much
like Valerie, but she has dark brown hair and brown eyes.
She is also a senior. Debbie is like the vice president of
the clan, she does what Valerie says, but she secretly wants
to overthrow Valerie. Jackie is a junior she is the typical
cheerleader type with blond hair and blue eyes. She is
friends with all the other girls too, but sometimes clashes
with Valerie.

                       VALERIE
Look girls it’s the losers’ club.
                                                            
Debbie, Valerie and Jackie laugh and giggle at Valerie's
comment.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey guys I didn't realize we were
on a street corner, because all I
see are a bunch of cheap whores.
                                                            
Molly, Vicki, Jayne and Dan all laugh hysterically and start
to walk away.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh man that was a great burn.

In English what did he say? He
said hey Vicki what are you doing
after school, not hey what are you
guys doing or what are you three
doing or you girls doing. He just
asked you, he so wants you.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Laughs)
No, were just good friends.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah and he wants to be more then
friends.
                                                            
                       VICKI
It’s cause we hang out all the
time. Because you’re at work or
with Mike, Joe works just about
everyday, Jayne is always with
Bob. So we have to hang out
together or be alone.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You know what, I think you like
him too.
                                                            
Molly pauses while Vicki looks down and blushes.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Don’t you?
                                                            
                       VICKI
What? Were just friend’s man.
Let’s change the subject.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Ok, ok I see I hit a soft spot.
                                                            
                       VICKI
So how’s everything going with
Mike?
                                                            

15.

                       MOLLY
Oh great, he's got a good job and
a nice little house he has been
renting.
                                                            
                       VICKI
What’s he do?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Says with a smile)
He's a tow truck driver, but he is
training to a paramedic.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh that’s what got you. I know you
love a man in uniform I guess any
uniform will do.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You got that right.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Next time we have a party you
should bring him along. How long
have you two been dating now?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Almost a year and a half.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’m your best friend and I’ve only
meant him half a dozen times.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Well we plan on coming out, but
then we get side tracked.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Laughs)
Ok that’s all I need to know.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You need to get yourself a
boyfriend, maybe Dan. You haven’t
had a boyfriend since what, 10th
grade what was that kid’s name?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Jake.
                                                            

16.

                       MOLLY
Yeah Jake. You need to get out
there and get a man.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey he broke my heart. I wouldn’t
sleep with him so he dumped me,
and who says you need a man to
complete yourself anyway.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That’s just your excuse because
your to afraid to go out there and
put your heart on the line. You
don’t have to be in love to have
fun and you need to have some fun.

                                                            
 
EXT. LIN WORTH HIGH VO AG BUILDING - DAY
                                                            
Molly and Vicki have three minutes until the bell rings.
Molly and Vicki are hiding behind the building.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Man I need a smoke.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Me too.
      (Lights up a
       cigarette and
       pass it back and
       fourth.)
                                                            
                       VICKI
We have like 2 minutes before the
bell rings.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Ahhh, it doesn’t matter if we’re a
little late, Mr. Johnson doesn’t
care, and he’s more of a farmer
then a teacher.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah you’re right.
                                                            
The bell RINGS as Molly throw the cigarette on the ground.
Vicki and Molly run to class they go in and sit by Dan.
                                                            

17.

                       MR. JOHNSON
Ladies try to be here before the
bell rings tomorrow.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We will.
                                                            
Mr. Johnson starts to talk.
                                                            
                       MR. JOHNSON
In this class you are going to
learn all sorts of skills, such as
engines, welding, raising
livestock, soil and growing crops,
but today I need to get some
things done, so you kids can talk.
Jut remember tomorrow you'll need
a notebook for this class. I would
also like you all to have
steel-toed boots and safety
glasses.
                                                            
Mr. Johnson sits down at his desk and begins to shuffle
through papers. Vicki Molly and Dan start talking, as well
as the other students.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Asks Vicki.)
I was just wondering if you were
staying for lunch or not?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don’t want to, but it’s up to
Dan.
                                                            
                       DAN
Whatever you want to do is fine?
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK we’ll all just go to the cars
after class.
      (Raises her hand.)
                                                            
                       MR. JOHNSON
Yes Vicki.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Can I use the restroom?
                                                            
                       MR. JOHNSON
Go ahead.
                                                            

18.

Vicki stands up and leaves the building and goes out to the
restroom.
                                                            
                       DAN
Hey Molly you’re Vicki’s best
friend, so could you tell me if
she has said anything about me?

                                                            
                       MOLLY
I knew you liked her.
                                                            
                       DAN
That obvious huh?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah. I was trying to tell her
that you had a thing for her.
                                                            
                       DAN
What did she say?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
She said no we’re just friends,
but I think she likes you she just
doesn’t want to show it. I think
it’s because of her ex-boyfriend.
                                                            
                       DAN
Oh I remember him; after he dumped
her she was depressed for months.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah he dumped her because she
wasn’t ready to sleep with him.
                                                            
                       DAN
I know he was a dick. She wasn’t
herself for awhile after that. I
called it the curse of ‘74
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Good one. So do you want me to
tell her that you like her or
something?
                                                            

19.

                       DAN
No, no, no. I want to tell her
myself, I just wanted to know if
she said anything about me.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Don’t worry I can tell she likes
you.
                                                            
Vicki walks back into the building and walks across the room
and sits down.
                                                            
                       VICKI
So what were you guys talking
about?
                                                            
                       DAN
Oh nothing.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Man that bell needs to ring, I
want to go home.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Me too.
      (Leans in and
       whispers to Molly
       and Dan.)
When I was in the bathroom I
rolled a doobie for the ride home.
                                                            
                       DAN
Cool.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
To bad we aren’t all riding in the
same car.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah it sucks to be you man.
                                                            
RING of the bell, Molly, Vicki and Dan get up and run out
the door and to the parking lot. Molly drives a blue '68
Chevy Camaro and Dan drives a red Chevy truck. Molly jumps
in her car and Dan and Vicki get into his truck.
                                                            
LINWORTH HIGH PARKING LOT
                                                            

20.

                       VICKI
      (Says as she waves
       to Molly.)
See you tomorrow
                                                            
                       MOLLY
See ya later man.
                                                            
Molly pulls out of the parking lot. Dan follows shortly
behind her.
                                                            
 
INT. THE RIDE - DAY
                                                            
                       DAN
So are we going to your house
first?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah I just want to get some old
clothes to work in. So what will I
be helping you with today?
                                                            
                       DAN
I have to feed the chickens, clean
the chicken coop.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I better bring some clothes to
change into for after we get done.
                                                            
                       DAN
You don’t have to help if you
don’t want to.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey just because I’m a girl
doesn’t mean I can’t deal with
some chicken shit.
                                                            
                       DAN
I didn't mean it like that. I just
meant their my chores and it's
just cool that you'll be there.
                                                            
Vicki smiles at Dan , Dan grins back.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well the way I see it is we can
get the job done in half the time,
then we can cruise around or
            (MORE)

21.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
something.
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan pull into Vicki's driveway. Vicki jumps out of
the truck before she shuts the door she says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I'll be right back.
      (Shuts the door
       and runs into the
       house.)
                                                            
Dan sits in the car with his rock music on; before he knows
it Vicki is getting back into the truck.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Lets go, and then we can smoke
this.
                                                            
                       DAN
That shirt doesn’t look old.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah, but Rush stinks anyway.
                                                            
Dan laughs as they drive down the road and Dan and Vicki
turn onto his street. Dan and Vicki pass a long strip of
woods
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh it's Kleaver woods that place
gives me the creeps.
      (Looks away and
       out of the corner
       of her eye she
       something run
       through the
       woods. She jumps.)
Did you see that?
                                                            
                       DAN
See what?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Nothing I just thought I saw
someone run through the woods.
It’s probably just my mind playing
tricks on me.
            (MORE)

22.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
                                                            
                       DAN
Maybe it was a deer. You know Tim
the quarterback; he lives next
door to those woods. Right there.
                                                            
Dan points to the old farm house that sits back off the
road. Corn fields are everywhere around the house and barn.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You want to hit this again?
                                                            
                       DAN
No I’m good. Now don’t act to
stoned in case my parents come
outside.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki pull into his long driveway.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don't worry you have a long
driveway.
      (Giggles)
                                                            
                       DAN
Man you’re stoned.
                                                            
 
EXT. DAN'S FAMILY FARM - DAY
                                                            
Dan parks the truck by the barn. Vicki and Dan get out of
the truck.
                                                            
                       DAN
I going to throw some bails of
straw down from the loft, then you
throw them in the truck bed.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok.
                                                            
Dan goes up to the top and starts throwing the straw down
and Vicki throws it into his truck bed. After about ten or
so bails Dan yells down.
                                                            
                       DAN
Ok I’m coming down.
                                                            

23.

Dan comes down the stairs grabs a flat square shovel and
throws it in the bed of his truck. Vicki walks into the
barn.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK.
                                                            
                       DAN
OK let's drive over to the
chicken coop.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki both get into the truck and drive to the
chicken coop. They jump out of the truck and Dan says.
                                                            
                       DAN
OK lets just throw these bails on
the ground.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki start to throw the bails onto the ground.
                                                            
                       DAN
Soon as we are done I’ll back to
truck up so I can shovel the old
straw into it.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki throw the last to bails out and Vicki says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Then what should I do?
                                                            
                       DAN
I’ll shovel the shit into the
truck bed and you can change their
water and feed them.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK sounds good to me.
                                                            
Vicki climbs into the chicken coop and Dan gets into the
truck and backs it up. Dan parks the truck and gets out and
climbs into the coop.
                                                            
                       DAN
Over there in the container is the
food
      (Points.)
and there is the hose.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK lets get to work.
                                                            

24.

Dan starts to take the shovel and push the old bedding
towards the truck into a pile. Vicki is taking buckets full
of feed and filling up the feeders that hang from the
ceiling. After a few trips back and fourth Vicki takes the
hose and starts to fill the water troths. Dan keeps on
making his pile as they work around each other. Soon Vicki
is done and Dan is shoveling the bedding into the truck bed
as sweat pours down his face. Dan takes off his shirt.
                                                            
                       VICKI (VO)
      (Thinking to
       herself.)
I can't believe he has to do this
all the time. It's gotta be hard
work that's for sure. Oh my God I
never realized how big his arms
are when he is wearing a shirt.
Damn guys are so hot when they are
working ahh.
                                                            
Dan looks over quickly then turns back, Vicki quickly turns
away and acts like she's not looking, but she's too late.
Dan smiles he knows he has Vicki's attention. Vicki quickly
starts a conversation.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You’ve gotta love doing all this
stuff?
                                                            
                       DAN
It's not bad, but I've been doing
this since I was a kid. I like
working in the fields more. Just
drive a tractor around, it takes a
long time, but it's more relaxing.
When I get the farm I'm just going
to grow crops. Small farms can't
make money on animals anymore.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Do you still have your brother’s
old Corvett?
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah it’s in the garage. Why?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I was thinking sometime we could
go to the drag strip and race the
car there’s not much more to do in
this town.
                                                            

25.

                       DAN
Wanna go tonight?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah. Get high, drink a few beers
it’ll be fun.
                                                            
                       DAN
Once I’m done with this we just
got to throw the straw down.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Cool.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan continue working.
                                                            
 
EXT. VICKI'S DRIVEWAY AFTER THE RACE. - NIGHT
                                                            
Dan and Vicki parked in Vicki's driveway. Vicki's just about
to get out of the car.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I had a lot of fun tonight. How
about you?
                                                            
                       DAN
Oh yeah I had a great time. It was
really cool.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah we gotta do it again
sometime.
                                                            
                       DAN
How about tomorrow?
                                                            
                       VICKI
What’s tomorrow, Friday or should
I say today. Well I have to work
till nine.
                                                            
                       DAN
Well I'll see if the rest of the
gang will come to the diner at
8:30. Then we can party when you
get off work or something.
                                                            
                       VICKI
That sounds cool. Well it’s almost
two, I better sneak in. I hope we
don’t get caught.

26.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah me too. See you later.
                                                            
                       VICKI
See you tomorrow.
                                                            
Vicki gets out of the car and softly shuts the door. Vicki
runs up the driveway and slowly opens the door and sneaks in
the house.
                                                            
 
INT. LINWORTH HIGH CAFETERIA - DAY
                                                            
Molly, Vicki, Joe, Jayne and Dan are sitting at the table
together talking.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So where’s Bob?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
He’s sitting with the team, but he
promised he would come sit with me
for the last 15 minutes of lunch.
                                                            
                       JOE
So where were you three yesterday?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
We decided to just go home.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I think I’ll be doing that the
rest of the year too.
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah we can eat lunch anywhere why
stay here.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Jokingly says.)
To see your friend. You guys suck
I have to stay here.
                                                            
                       DAN
Well at least Bob will be here. I
think this will be the last day
we’ll be here for the rest of the
year.
                                                            

27.

                       BOB
      (Yells over from
       his table)
Jayne get your ass over here.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
What an asshole, why do you put up
with that?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
He’s just a different man when
we're alone what can I say.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey don’t get me wrong I’ve known
Bob since we were kids, but since
he got on the varsity team he’s a
whole different person.
                                                            
                       JOE
Tell me about it.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
This damn town and high school
football, they treat them like
gods or something, it’s no wonder
it changed him.
                                                            
Jayne gets up and goes over to Bob’s table down and across
the lunch room.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Slut alert, here come the
cheerleaders.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Great just who I want to see.
                                                            
Valerie, Debbie, Jackie, Ashley, Shannon, and Jessica walk
over to their table. They are all in their uniforms since
its Friday. Ashley is a brunette in 10th grade she is a
cheerleader. She takes orders better then a soldier. Shannon
is a red head also in 10th grade, takes orders better then a
soldier. Jessica has light brown hair and blue eyes. She is
a senior, she is the new girl, at her old school she was a
nobody, but at Linworth High she has started a new life and
is on the cheer-leading squad.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
So Dan I know you're a farmer, but
I never knew you had a thing for
livestock.
                                                            

28.

                       DAN
What the hell are you talking
about?
                                                            
                       VALERIE
At the drag strip kissing that pig
over there.
      (Points to Vicki.)
                                                            
Debbie, Jackie, Ashley and Shannon laugh.
                                                            
                       DAN
Fuck you Valerie.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You two kissed, and why didn’t I
hear about this?
                                                            
The blood is boiling in Vicki's veins, with out thinking
Vicki jumps up and cold cocks Valerie right in the face. The
lunch room begins to chant FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Valerie is
on the floor Vicki is on top of Valerie punching her in the
face, Valerie is trying to protect her face with one hand
and pulling Vicki's hair with the other.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells.)
Fight bitch just don't pull my
fucking hair.
                                                            
Ashley, Shannon and Jackie jump on Vicki's back, so Molly,
Jayne, and Dan start to pull the girls off of Vicki. Vicki
and Valerie are now on their feet Valerie punches Vicki in
the face.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Laughs)
What was that?
                                                            
Vicki swings and punches Valerie, she falls right on her
butt.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Next time you better watch your
mouth bitch.
                                                            
Valerie gets up; a teacher runs over and gets between them
before anything else can happen.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don’t worry I think she’s had
enough.
                                                            

29.

                       TEACHER
You girls are coming with me, the
rest of you come and tell the
principal what happened here.
                                                            
Vicki, Molly, Joe, Dan, Jayne, Valerie, Debbie, Jackie,
Ashley, Shannon Jessica and the Teacher walk out the lunch
room doors.
                                                            
 
INT. LINWORTH HIGH OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
Vicki is sitting in a chair in the office waiting to go see
the principal. All her friends have already talked to the
principal as well as the cheerleaders. Valerie just went in.
Molly has just came out Molly tells Vicki.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey we’ll be waiting for you in
the parking lot, we need to talk.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok I’ll see you soon.
                                                            
While Vicki is waiting for her punishment the new girl
Jessica walks over to her.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Hi, I'm Jessica, I just moved
here. I just wanted to tell you
that I'm sorry about Valerie.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No need to apologize for her. Why
are you apologizing for her
anyway?
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I just thought she was ignorant,
and I know how it feels. Before at
my old school I had no friends, I
thought I could be popular when
everybody knows who you are, but
now I realize why so many people
don't like them. Now I think I'd
rather have no friends, then be
part of something I hate.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You know what you seem pretty cool
maybe one day you can hang out
with us
                                                            

30.

                       JESSICA
Yeah maybe I'll do that sometime.
Anyway I think after next week's
homecoming game I'm dropping out
of cheer-leading and being myself
again.
      (Pause.)
Well I better go I just wanted to
tell you that.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok thanks, nice meeting you.
                                                            
Jessica leaves the office and Valerie comes out of the
Principal's office and gives Vicki a dirty look as she walks
out of the office, before Valerie gets out the door Vicki
says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Have fun cheering with that shiner
tonight.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
I’m going to make your life a
living hell.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oooo. Go to hell Valerie.
                                                            
Vicki jumps at Valerie and Valerie jumps back and quickly
leaves the office. Vicki laughs.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Vicki get in here now.
                                                            
Vicki walks in to the Principal's office and shuts the door
and sits down.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
So what’s your version of the
story?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Basically she called me a pig; I
got up and kicked her ass.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Watch your mouth Miss Hutchinson.
                                                            

31.

                       VICKI
You wanted the truth and that’s
the truth.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Even though your record is clean I
still have to suspend you for
three days.
                                                            
                       VICKI
What did Valerie get?
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
She got one day of detention.
                                                            
                       VICKI
That’s bullshit.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Well I think you taught her a
lesson, anyway you threw the first
punch and I advise you to watch
your mouth unless you want me to
add another day on too that. Now
you can leave and I’ll see you
back next Thursday.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Softly says)
If I was a cheerleader, I bet I'd
only get detention too.
                                                            
Vicki gets up and walks out of the office and out to the
parking lot.
                                                            
LINWORTH HIGH PARKING LOT - LATER
                                                            
Molly, Dan, and Joe are waiting for Vicki by their cars.
                                                            
                       DAN
So what happened?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I got three days suspension, like
I care it’s three days of vacation
for me.
                                                            
                       JOE

       and acts like he
            (MORE)

32.

                       JOE (cont'd)
       is tearing up.)
It makes me happy to say you're my
sister.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah it was so cool.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah I know. I gave that bitch a
shiner. Are you guys ready to get
out of here, I want to relax
before I go into work.
      (Pause)
So are you guys coming to the
diner tonight before I get off
work?
                                                            
Dan, Molly and Joe all answer "Yeah."
                                                            
                       DAN
So you need a ride home?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I can go with Joe and save you on
gas.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
No little lady you’re going with
me.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok whatever let’s get going.
                                                            
Everyone gets in their cars; Molly and Vicki are in the
Camaro.
                                                            
 
INT. A QUICK DRIVE - DAY
                                                            
Vicki and Molly are all pulling out of the parking lot.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So what happened with you and Dan
last night?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well after we got done with the
work at his house, we went out to
the drag strip. We were there for
a while hanging out, and then some
jocks showed up and wanted to
race, I m-fed them before the
light, anyway we won. I was happy
            (MORE)

33.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
and I kissed him
                                                            
                       MOLLY
What kind of kiss?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Just a plain old kiss, nothing
special.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So how did he react?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Like he was in shocked, I dunno.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So do you like him?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don't know. I can say one thing
he looked really good working
yesterday. It didn't hurt when he
took his shirt off.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You should just go out with him;
you know he’ll treat you right.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah, but what if it doesn’t work
out, how could we still be
friends.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
But what if it is the best thing
that ever happens to you and you
pass it up?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I guess your right, but he’ll have
to ask me.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So what do you want to do after
work?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Party. Hell I have a five day
weekend now.
                                                            

34.

                       MOLLY
I can’t believe you jumped up like
that. That’s just not like you.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I figure it's my senior year
and I don't care anymore. I'm
tired of being pushed around.
      (Pause)
So what do you think we'll do
tonight?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
We will probably just party down
in Jayne’s basement, the usual.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Sounds cool to me.
                                                            
They pull into Vicki's driveway she gets out of the car and
says goodbye. Dan's truck and Vicki and Joe's car are parked
in the driveway.
                                                            
 
INT. THE DINER - NIGHT
                                                            
Jon and Vicki are working in the back of the small
restaurant and talking.
                                                            
                       JON
Did you hear about the party they
are having after the dance next
week?
                                                            
                       VICKI
No what about it?
                                                            
                       JON
Well Tim lives right next to
Kleaver woods and he is having a
party in the woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Kleaver woods?
                                                            
                       JON
Yeah.
                                                            
                       VICKI
That place gives me the he be
gebees every time I pass it.
                                                            

35.

                       JON
Yeah it is creepy, when I was
younger I swore I saw somebody in
the woods,
      (Pause)
but I don't have to worry about
going there is no way I'm invited.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don't worry their parties suck.
                                                            
                       JON
Look your favorite people just
came in.
                                                            
Vicki peaks out to see the clan of cheerleaders. Valerie,
Ashley, Debbie and Jackie.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Says with a
       sinister smile as
       she points at
       Valerie.)
Oh great. I'm cooking her food.
                                                            
Cathy walks over and Vicki gestures her to come over, so she
does.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Tell me exactly what Valerie
orders.
                                                            
                       CATHY
Ok.
                                                            
Cathy grabs menus and walks over to the table and goes to
get their drink orders.
                                                            
                       JON
That fight today was great. You
kicked her ass.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don’t you love her black eye all
the makeup in the world can’t
cover that up.
                                                            
Cathy walks over to get the drinks and says to Vicki.
                                                            
                       CATHY
That black eye is great Vicki.
                                                            

36.

                       VICKI
Thank you. It felt good kicking
her ass and getting three days of
vacation for it.
                                                            
Cathy walks over and delivers the drinks and gets the
orders.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I can’t wait till my shift is
over.
                                                            
                       JON
That makes two of us. Hey I’ll be
back in a few; I’m going for a
smoke.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok.
                                                            
Cathy walks over with the orders and says.
                                                            
                       CATHY
She ordered the hamburger with no
onions.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Thanks.
      (Looks down at the
       order and lightly
       says the orders
       out loud.)
Two hamburgers one no onions, one
with mayo, two cheeseburger no
onions, and four salads with
french, two ranch, and Italian
dressing.
                                                            
Vicki throws four burgers on the grill. Vicki gets out four
slices of tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. Jon walks back in.
                                                            
                       JON
So what did I miss?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Nothing just fixing orders. Hey
you want to get out four salads
and two ranch, a french and an
italian dressing.
                                                            
                       JON
I’m on it.
                                                            

37.

Jon walks to the fridge gets out four salads and the
dressing; Jon puts then on the counter and rings the bell.
Vicki flips the burgers, she drops one on the floor.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ooopps.
                                                            
Vicki picks it up and puts it back on the grill. Vicki puts
the burgers together making sure Valerie gets the one that
dropped on the floor. Soon Vicki puts the food on the
counter and rings the bell. Cathy puts the food on the tray
and delivers it. Shows the clock on the wall it is 5:30 and
spins to 8:30. Jayne, Joe, Dan, Molly, and Mike walk into
the diner and sit down at a table. Cathy walks over with
menus in hand and asks.
                                                            
                       CATHY
Do you guys want anything to
drink?
                                                            
                       JOE
Oh we don’t need menus.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Speak for yourself man. I got the
munchies.
                                                            
                       CATHY
Do the rest of you want to order?
                                                            
Jayne, Joe, Dan and Mike shake their heads no.

                       DAN

Bob play?
                                                            
                       JAYNE

                       JOE
So are you and Bob going to the
homecoming dance?
                                                            
                       JAYNE

                       MOLLY

                       MIKE
      (Smiles)
I probably don’t have a choice. Do
I?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Nope.
      (Smiles back at
       Mike.)
How about you two?
                                                            
                       JOE
Maybe. I hope I can get a date,
Vicki said I should ask that new
girl.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yeah she’s pretty cool I’ve hung
out with her a few times.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That’s good Joe aim high. We all
know you want to go with Vicki.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yeah Dan you are so obvious.
                                                            

39.

                       DAN

lately.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So when do you plan on asking her?

                                                            
                       DAN
I’m not sure maybe tonight.
                                                            
Cathy walks over with the drinks and hands them out.
                                                            
                       CATHY
So are you ready to order?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I’ll take a burger and fries.
                                                            
                       CATHY
OK that will be right out.
      (Takes the menu
       and walks to the
       back.)
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I can’t wait for my food.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Dude you alway got the munchies.
                                                            
                       MIKE

       around Molly.)
That's my girl.
                                                            
                       JOE
So are we going to Jayne’s house

                       JAYNE
Yeah, it will only be us, my mom

the weekend.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Cool we can really party.
                                                            
Mike leans in and softly says to the group.
                                                            

40.

                       MIKE
You won’t believe this grass I got
today, it’s some premo stuff. Gets
you as high as a kite and the best
thing is I got a few pounds of it.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
He’s not lying. It is really good.
                                                            
                       JOE
Can’t wait to smoke some.
                                                            
                       MIKE
I also got a trunk full of beer.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You’ve got an awesome boyfriend.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I know aint he great.
                                                            
                       DAN
I have a 12 pack. Mike did Molly
ask you to get that pint for me?
                                                            
                       MIKE
Yeah, it's in my trunk.
                                                            
                       JOE
We know you got that for her,
everyone here drinks beer except
for my sister.
                                                            
                       DAN
Hey if we all get drunk she should
too, who wants to be sober around
a bunch of drunks.
                                                            
                       MIKE
He does make a point.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Says to Jayne)
Is Bob going to be partying with
us tonight?
                                                            

41.

                       JAYNE
He is supposed to show up after
the game, but I know if they win
he’ll go party with them first.
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Smiles.)
Let’s hope they win.
                                                            
Vicki walks out from the back with Molly's food. Vicki puts
the food on the table then pulls a chair up to the end of
the table and sits down.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Good news when you get done with
your food we can get out of here.
They don’t care if I leave a few
minutes early.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Go grab me a doggy bag and we can
get out of here now.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I'll grab the bill too.
      (Gets up and walks
       to the back,
       comes back out
       with the
       container and the
       bill.)
Oh you guys have to hear this.
Valerie walks in today with the
other bitches, anyway I dropped
her food on the floor and she ate
it.
                                                            
                       JOE
I hope you never did that to my
food.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Smiles.)
No I just spit in yours.
                                                            
                       DAN
Is everybody ready?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah let’s roll.
                                                            

42.

Vicki, Dan, Joe, Jayne Mike and Molly stand up and leave the
money on the table and walk out the door.
                                                            
 
INT. JAYNE'S BASEMENT FRIDAY - NIGHT
                                                            
Dan, Vicki, Joe, Jayne, Mike and Molly are sitting in
Jayne's basement. Black lights are on and music is playing
loudly. Mike and Molly are sitting together on the love
seat, Joe and Jayne are sitting beside each other in chairs,
and Dan and Vicki are sitting together on the couch. They
are passing a joint around. Everyone has a beer in hand
except for Vicki who has a can of pop and a pint of whiskey
with a shot glass sitting in front of her. They are in their
hang out area under the basement stairs.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Mike this is some good stuff.
                                                            
                       MIKE

any we’ll talk later.
                                                            
                       JOE

                       DAN
So Vicki how was work?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I had fun dropping her food on the
floor other then that is was just
work.
                                                            
                       JOE
At least you're getting a five day
weekend.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah you suck man.
                                                            
                       VICKI

can go on vacation too. Just try
to do it on a Friday.
                                                            
You see Mike throw his can into the trash then you see a lot
of cans fly into the trash can until the trash is full of
empty beer cans. Now everyone is pretty well off. Everyone
is slurring their words, some more than others. Molly
stands up.
                                                            

43.

                       MOLLY
      (Slurring her
       words.)
Is everyone feeling as good as I
am right now?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Slurring her
       words.)
Dude did you ever realize how your
teeth glow in the black light?
                                                            
                       JOE
You guys are trunk.
                                                            
Molly and Vicki start laughing and saying.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Laughing)
Trunk ha, ha, ha, trunk.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Laughing)
You said trunk, trunk
                                                            
Molly looses her balance and falls on her butt, everyone
laughs.
                                                            
                       DAN
Mike you better sit her down.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I'm gonna go upstairs I need
to go to the bathroom.
                                                            
Vicki stands up and stumbles over to the stairs.
                                                            
                       DAN
Wait! I’ll go with you someone has
to make sure you don’t kill
yourself.
                                                            
Dan helps Vicki up the stairs everyone hears Vicki fall when
she gets to the top of the stairs.
                                                            
                       JOE
Jayne you aren’t as drunk as those
two are you?
                                                            

44.

                       JAYNE
No I’m a little buzzed I’m waiting
for Bob to get here.
                                                            
                       JOE
How about you Mike?
                                                            
                       MIKE
I’m feeling good, but not as good
as those two.
                                                            
                       JOE
I’ll have to be passing out soon,
I have to get up early tomorrow.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Oh come on Joe it’s Friday.
                                                            
                       JOE
I wish I could, but I have to get
up at seven.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
That sucks.
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah tell me about it... So do you
think I can crash on your couch
upstairs?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Sure. Hey Mike and Molly when you
want to pass out you can sleep in
my room, Bob and I will take my
mom’s room.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Slurring)
Cool Vicki and Dan got to sleep
down here.
                                                            
You can here Dan and Vicki at the top of the stairs.
                                                            
                       DAN (V.O.)
Give me your hand were going down
stairs and I'm not going to let
you fall.
                                                            
You here Vicki and Dan come down the stairs they walk over
to the couch and sit down. Vicki grabs her bottle and takes
the lid off, she pours a shot or at least she is trying.
                                                            

45.

                       DAN
Hey, Hey I think you've had enough
to drink for awhile.
      (Grabs the bottle
       and puts it on
       the floor away
       from Vicki.)
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’m not drunk.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You’re pretty drunk man.
                                                            
The basement door opens and Bob walks in Jayne gets up and
walks over and gives Bob a kiss. Bob and Jayne walk over Bob
sits on a chair and Jayne sits on Bob's lap.
                                                            
                       BOB
Can someone throw me a beer?
      (Mike throws him a
       beer. He catches
       it.)
Thanks man.
                                                            
                       JOE
So did you guys win?
                                                            
                       BOB
Yeah 24 to 14 we were tied there
for awhile.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
So did you go party with the guys?
                                                            
                       BOB
I had a few beers, got a shower
then came over here.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I can’t believe you didn’t stay
there longer since our parties are
such a drag and theirs are so
great.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah Bob.
                                                            
                       BOB
I’m only here to be with my girl,
but our parties are better. People
are drinking, dancing, getting
wild, having sex; usually one good
            (MORE)

46.

                       BOB (cont'd)
fight breaks out. You guys just
sit in a circle drinking beer,
smoking weed, and analyzing Pink
Floyd songs. You guys don’t know
how to party!
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey there is no need to bring
Floyd in to this, plus this is
more of a, a, a, get to together
then a party. Right guys?
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah this is just us hanging out.
                                                            
                       BOB
Whatever. I bet you guys our
parties are better then your
parties.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You’re on!
                                                            
                       BOB
Let's shake on it.
      (Bob and Vicki
       shake hands.)
OK next week after the dance,
Kleaver woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Wait Kleaver woods? I don’t know
about that.
                                                            
                       BOB
We already shook on it. What are
you afraid I’m right?
                                                            
                       VICKI
No. That place gives me the
creeps.
                                                            
                       BOB
Don’t tell me you believe that
bullshit story, that your parents
told us when we were kids?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Maybe I do.
                                                            

47.

                       BOB
That's just a bunch of BS. I've
been in the woods quite a few
times and I'm still talking to all
of you. You're just afraid that
it's going to be an awesome party
and you'll have to admit that you
are wrong and I'm right.
                                                            
                       JOE
Come on Vicki lets just go so we
don’t have to argue about this
again.
                                                            
                       BOB
Yeah, don’t be such a woos.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don’t know guys.
                                                            
                       BOB
Hey will the rest of you go?
                                                            
                       JOE
I'll go.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Me too.
                                                            
                       DAN
      (Looks at Vicki.)
I'll go if you go.
                                                            
                       VICKI
How about you Molly?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I guess, Bob was in the woods and
he's OK. Plus we can prove him
wrong.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK I'll go, but if we all die out
there it's your fault Bob.
                                                            
                       BOB
Nothing is going to happen, but a
kick ass party.
                                                            
LATER
                                                            

48.

Joe has gone upstairs and gone to sleep. Mike and Molly are
on the love seat making out. Bob and Jayne are on the couch
making out. Dan and Vicki are sitting in the chairs talking.
                                                            
                       VICKI
God it’s like we aren’t even here.
                                                            
                       DAN
Tell me about it.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Like a bunch of dogs in heat.
                                                            
                       DAN
We should just grab our alcohol
and go sit on the steps outside.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Maybe we should grab the hose too.
      (They chuckle.)
Just let me get my jacket.
                                                            
Vicki grabs her jacket and her bottle, Dan gets a beer. They
go outside and sit on the steps.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You got to love our friends.
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah.
      (Pause)
So were you thinking about going
to the dance?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don't know, I should go since
this is the last time I can go to
a homecoming dance.
                                                            
                       DAN
      (Nervously)
I was thinking we could go
together?
      (Pause.)
You know just as friends since all
our friends will be there.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Smiles)
As long as we take the corvette.
                                                            

49.

                       DAN
Sure.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You’ve been drinking all night and
you barely seem drunk.
                                                            
                       DAN
I’m pretty good; you were
defiantly drunk earlier.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah my buzz has gone down, that’s
why I’m drinking again.
      (Takes a swig out
       of the bottle.)
You know when we get back in we
should get the bong out.
                                                            
                       DAN
OK.
      (Looks up at the
       sky.)
It's so clear tonight you can see
all the stars.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I love the stars they are so
beautiful.
                                                            
Dan puts his arm around Vicki.
                                                            
                       DAN
You know you shouldn’t even think
twice about what Valerie said. She
just says that shit so she can
feel better about herself.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Thanks that means a lot.
      (Lays her head on
       his shoulder.)
I'm getting chilly you want to go
back inside?
                                                            
                       DAN
Sure.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki get up and go back inside the basement. No on
is there.
                                                            

50.

                       DAN
Looks like the basement is all
ours.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I guess so. Let’s bust out that
bong man.
                                                            
Dan goes over to a corner and gets the bong out of an old
box marked Jayne’s old toys.
                                                            
                       DAN
You know one of us is going to
have to sleep on the love seat.
                                                            
                       VICKI
This is a couch bed right?
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah I think so.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well why don’t we open it up we
can both sleep on it.
                                                            
                       DAN
You sure?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah. Why not?
                                                            
                       DAN
Ok.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan open up the bed and sit down. Vicki and Dan
start smoking the clock reads 2:30 and spins to 4:00.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Wow I can’t believe we have been
talking this long. We should
probably crash.
                                                            
                       DAN
You’re right.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Goodnight
                                                            

51.

                       DAN
      (Turns off the
       light.)
Goodnight.
                                                            
 
INT. LINWORTH PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY
                                                            
Vicki gets out of the car and walks into the library, and
walks over to the librarian's desk.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Excuse me ma’am. I was wondering
if you could show me where the
microfilms of old newspapers are?
                                                            
                       LIBRARIAN
Sure. It's down in the basement
come with me.
      (Walks out from
       behind the desk
       and leads the way
       down the basement
       stairs.)
So what are you looking for?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Some stuff for a school project on
our local history.
                                                            
                       LIBRARIAN
Your probably be surprised by what
you find.
                                                            
The Librarian and Vicki walk in to a room in the basement.
There are four chairs to look at the microfilm. There is a
self full of boxes of microfilm each with a date.
                                                            
                       LIBRARIAN
Each box is marked with the dates.
I hope you find everything you
need, now you have fun.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Thank you.
                                                            
                       LIBRARIAN
Your Welcome.
                                                            

52.

The librarian walks back up stairs. Vicki begins to look at
the dates on the boxes of reels. Vicki has a notebook and
pen in hand.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I know it happened it 1956,
so lets just start from the
beginning.
                                                            
Vicki grabs the box and puts it into the reader and begins
to scan though the old articles. Vicki keeps on going
finding nothing until finally in the middle of March 1956
she sees a headline. Murder in the Woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Finally.
      (Starts to read
       aloud.)
After no one had seen Miss Kleaver
in town for over two months a
grocery store clerk asked the
police to check in the woods. When
the police entered the woods they
came upon a gruesome sight. In the
small house they found the
beheaded body of Miss Kleaver.
Police say it looked like she had
been dead for quite sometime, but
they could not pinpoint a time of
death because of the freezing
temperatures. They suspect that
her son was responsible for her
murder, but hope to find more
clues in her journal found at the
crime scene.
      (End of article.)
There has to be more I guess I
just have to keep looking.
                                                            
Vicki keeps scanning through the newspaper when Vicki sees
another headline that reads Police Puzzled Vicki starts to
read aloud.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Police are unsure about who killed
Martha Kleaver, whose beheaded
body was found on March eighth.
Police say that can prove that her
son did not commit the murder.
Police still have no suspects in
this case.
                                                            

53.

Vicki quits reading the article and keeps scanning though
the pages until she finds and article title The Mother's
Journal. Vicki reads aloud.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We have been given Martha
Kleaver's journal from a secret
source. In the journal she writes
"I went into town last week and
saw posters of a missing 16 year
old girl. I knew my evil son had
to have something to do with it."
She goes on to say. "Today I found
the body of the missing girl; it
was the most horrible thing I had
ever seen in all my days. I knew I
brought this evil into the world
and I must take it out. I grabbed
my shot gun and put it to his
heart. Before I pulled the trigger
he said he would come back for me
and anyone who walked into these
woods, and then I pulled the
trigger. I drug his body to the
embankment and pushed if off. God
forgive me, for letting him live
so long and taking his life. The
evil is gone, but I still sit here
writing this in fear for my life.
God protect me." That was her last
entry, police still unsure of who
murdered her. Police say they did
find the badly mutilated body of
16 year old Mary Faith Jones, but
have not found the body of
Martha's son, Edward Sylvester
Kleaver.
                                                            
Vicki continues to search through the papers.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Detective goes missing in Kleaver
woods. While investigating the
crime scenes dubbed Kleaver woods,
Detective John Smith went missing.
The police department is still
searching for Mr. Smith, police
say he might have suffered a heart
attack, due to the heart problems
he had in the past or he may have
gotten lost. Police say they are
determined to find their
colleague. I wonder how many
people have gone missing in this
            (MORE)

                       VICKI (cont'd)
town.
                                                            
Vicki starts scanning through the papers looking for the
words missing or something linked to the woods. A few weeks
after the last article Vicki finds another article titled
Police Stumped.
                                                            
                       VICKI
After weeks of searching two
volunteers and one police officer
have gone missing, searching for
detective John Smith. Police have
called off the search for Mr.
Smith. Everyone is puzzled saying
it seems like they disappeared in
to thin air...There are four
people now missing.
      (Pause)
I think tomorrow I'll have to
drive to the county court house to
see how many people have gone
missing over the years and who
owns Kleaver woods
                                                            
Vicki puts everything away walks up the stairs thanks the
librarian again and walks out the door.
                                                            
 
INT. JAYNE'S BASEMENT MONDAY NIGHT - NIGHT
                                                            
Dan, Vicki, Molly, Joe, Jayne and Bob are hanging out in
Jayne's basement. A joint is being passed around the room.
Joe goes to pass the joint to Bob.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Yelling at Joe.)
You know I don't smoke that shit .
I don't know why you guys always
have to surround me in smoke. I'll
never get a football scholarship
if I can't breathe.
                                                            
                       JOE
Gees man I was just passing it, I
didn’t realize it was you. So
don’t get all pissy with me man.
                                                            
Molly starts up a conversation before Bob can yell at Joe
more.
                                                            

55.

                       MOLLY
      (Asking Vicki.)
So what did you do on your first
day off?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I went to the library.
                                                            
                       BOB
Why would you go to the library
when you have a day off of school?

                                                            
                       JOE
You must be crazy.
                                                            
Vicki takes out her notebook. Vicki looks at it and says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No. I was going through old
newspapers researching Kleaver
woods.
                                                            
                       DAN
So what did you find out?
                                                            
Vicki takes out her notebook. Vicki looks at it and says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well first he killed a 16 year old
girl and his mother found out and
she killed him. Then a few months
later they found his mother
beheaded, but they never found his
body.
                                                            
                       JOE
That sounds just like the story
mom and dad use to tell us.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Because it was true. I read all
the articles. Plus a detective
went missing in the woods. Then
they sent a search party and three
more people went missing and were
never found.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That’s strange.
                                                            
                       BOB
You are just trying to make
excuses so you can skip the party,
because you know I’m right.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No, I’m just trying to get
information about Kleaver woods to
prove that it’s not just a story
our parents made up.
                                                            
                       BOB
You’re just scared, you know I’m
right and you’re wrong.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Stands up and
       starts to yell at
       Bob.)
Screw you Bob I'm not afraid of
losing some stupid bet. I'm going
to the party to shut you up, but
when we start dropping like flies
left and right it's going to be
your fault.
                                                            
Vicki storms out of the basement and slams the door.
                                                            
                       BOB
It must be her time of the month.
                                                            
Molly and Dan stand up.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Bob you really need to learn how
to shut up.
                                                            
Molly follows Vicki. Dan is right behind Molly. They walk
out the door.
                                                            
                       BOB
Aren't you going to make sure your
crazy sister is alright?
                                                            

57.

                       JOE
She’ll be fine.
                                                            
                       BOB
Shouldn’t you make sure.
      (Winks twice.)
                                                            
                       JOE
Fine.
                                                            
Joe gets up and opens the door, before Joe shuts the door
Joe hears Bob say.
                                                            
                       BOB
Gees why do all these people
always have to be here, can’t we
ever be alone.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Because they are our friends,
could you try not to be such a
jerk.
                                                            
                       BOB
I’m sorry baby.
      (Kisses Jayne.)
                                                            
BASEMENT STAIRS OUTSIDE.
                                                            
Joe goes up the stairs.
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Softly.)
What an asshole.
                                                            
Molly, Dan and Vicki are sitting at the top of the steps.
                                                            
                       DAN
Who’s an asshole?
                                                            
                       JOE
Who do you think? He says aren't
you going to make sure your crazy
sister is OK wink, wink. Then
before I shut the door he says why
are all these people always here.
Jayne told him not to be such a
jerk, then he said I'm Sorry. Yeah
right!
                                                            

58.

                       MOLLY
Come on guys lets go get some
beers, play some pool and have
some fun.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Sounds good to me.
                                                            
 
INT. COUNTY COURT HOUSE - DAY
                                                            
Vicki looking through filling cabinets at the county
courthouse. Vicki goes through all the missing persons files
from the 1940's till 1970s and adds them up. Vicki has a
paper and pen and every time she counts a missing person
from her town or someone who went missing and was last seen
around the woods she makes a line in groups of fives. You
see 10 sets of lines.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Damn 50 people in 30 years in this
little town isn't this odd to
anyone?
      (Pause)
Now all I got to do is see who
owns the woods.
                                                            
Vicki goes through the land files and starts to read to
herself.
                                                            
                       VICKI (VO)
Property went up for auction by
the IRS for back taxes. Starts at
a thousand dollars and is sold for
a thousand dollars. Bought by a
local banker a few weeks later he
donates it to the local police
department. That's a little odd
too.
                                                            
Vicki leaves the court house to go home and get ready for
work.
                                                            
 
INT. VICKI'S HOUSE TUESDAY - DAY
                                                            
Vicki walks into her house she sees her mom and decides to
ask her a few questions.
                                                            

59.

                       VICKI
Hey mom I wanted to ask you
something.
                                                            
                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
Sure, what is it?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Something about Kleaver woods.
                                                            
                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
      (Calmly, but
       curiously)
What about the woods?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Why did a local banker buy the
land and then just gave it to the
police department?
                                                            
                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
Well after so many people went
missing the town got together and
came up with a plan. I was just a
kid, but from what I understand
they all knew the IRS was going to
auction it off, so they thought
the best idea would be to make it
police property so people would
stay away. Your grandparents and
all the other families all donated
enough money to buy the property
since the local government
couldn't. They gave the money to
the banker and he bought it in an
auction then donated it to the
police.
                                                            
                       VICKI
OK. I was just researching the
woods and it seemed weird that he
bought it and gave it away.
                                                            
                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
      (Curiously.)
So why are you researching the
woods?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Just curious.
                                                            

60.

                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
You guys aren’t planning to go in
the woods are you?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I better jump in the shower I
got to get ready for work.
                                                            
Vicki gets up and runs into the bathroom.
                                                            
                       MRS. HUTCHINSON
      (Yelling)
You're not planning on going in
the woods are you? Victoria Anne
answer me damn it!
                                                            
 
EXT. DAN'S AROUND THE FIRE - NIGHT

a little drunk. Both are slightly slurring their words.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh …. I forgot to tell you what I
found out yesterday.
                                                            
                       DAN
What’s that?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Did you know that the town got
together and donated money, bought
the woods and gave it to the
police.
                                                            
                       DAN
Wierd.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah you know what else. 50 people
have gone missing over 30 some
years in this little town. All
were last seen around the woods.
                                                            
                       DAN
That's a lot of people.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah most of them were teenagers
too.
      (Pause.)
            (MORE)

61.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
I really don't want to go to that
party.
                                                            
Dan puts his arm around Vicki, Vicki scoots closer to Dan.
                                                            
                       DAN
We don’t have to.
                                                            
                       VICKI
But if I don’t Bob will never let
it go. He'll never let me live it
down
                                                            
                       DAN
Screw Bob, he’s just a dick. Don't
worry about what he says.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah, but as long as he is with M.
J. we have to put up with him.
                                                            
                       DAN
That's true, but you don't have to
listen to him.
      (Slight pause.)
So are you sure you want to go to
the party?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Says with a
       smile.)
Yeah I know you’ll be there to
protect me.
                                                            
                       DAN
Damn right.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan snuggle closer together.

                       JAYNE
      (Angry tone)
Yeah.
      (Pause)
Well I'm going to see my fiancé.
                                                            
Jayne gets up and walks away.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Giggles.)
I think you pissed her off.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey I’m not going to lie.
                                                            
                       JOE
I can’t wait till this night is
over. I’m getting hammered at the
party.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey you still have a chance they
aren’t married yet, and if she’s
smart she’ll dump his ass.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Joe don’t worry, lets just have a
good time.
                                                            
                       JOE
I'll try.
                                                            

69.

                       MOLLY
Hey I want a picture of all of us
together.
                                                            
Molly gets up and asks Mrs. Jones if she can take some
pictures. Mike, Molly, Joe, Dan and Vicki all stand
together. Molly and Vicki are in the middle. Mike is beside
Molly, Dan is beside Vicki and Joe is kneeling down in the
front. Mrs. Jones snaps the picture.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Mrs. Jones can you take another
picture after I get Jayne and Bob.

                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
Sure.
                                                            
Molly runs over and tells Jayne and Bob to come over and get
in the picture. Molly, Jayne and Bob walk over and get in
place for the picture. Joe is in the middle to his left is
Jayne and Bob. To Joe's right are Vicki and Dan. Mike and
Molly are kneeling in the front middle. Mrs. Jones snaps a
picture.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Hey us girls should have our
picture taken like Charlie’s
angels.
                                                            
Vicki and Molly have their backs together and Jayne kneels
in the middle. Mrs. Jones snaps the picture. Mrs. Jones
hands the camera back to Molly.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Thank you Mrs. Jones.
                                                            
                       MRS. JONES
You’re Welcome.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey let’s get something to eat and
get this over with.
                                                            
                       JOE
That’s a great idea.
                                                            
Bob, Jayne, Mike, Molly, Vicki, Dan and Joe walk over and
get in line. The food is basic salad, rigatoni, chicken,
potatoes, cookies, and cakes. All seven of them get food and
sit back down at the table.
                                                            

70.

                       BOB
So did Jayne tell you guys the
good news?
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Monotone.)
Yeah we all heard.
                                                            
                       DAN
      (Quickly changes
       the subject.)
That was a good game, what was the
final score?
                                                            
                       BOB
It was a great game 34 to 14. So
are you guys ready for a kick ass
party?
                                                            
                       JOE
I sure am.
                                                            
                       BOB
It's going to be one of our best
parties. Homecoming parties are
always good, but we got a keg plus
whatever everyone else brings.
                                                            
                       JOE
I can’t wait.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Are you guys excited about the
party tonight?
                                                            
                       VICKI
What excited to die?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Dude your crazy.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well you know what they say, once
you walk in, you don't walk out.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Well hopefully we’ll just have a
good time.
                                                            

71.

                       VICKI
      (Leans over and
       whispers to Molly)
Did Mike bring a bag?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah.
                                                            
All seven friends are finished eating when Joe Cocker's You
are so Beautiful starts to play. Bob, and Mike stand up and
put their hands out to their dates as a gesture to dance.
Jayne and Molly take their dates hands and go out to the
dance floor. Dan gets up and puts his hand out to Vicki.
                                                            
                       DAN
Beautiful lady, May I have this
dance.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Stands up)
Yea you may.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki get up and walk to the dance floor. Joe sits
alone at the table. Vicki and Dan start to slow dance. Vicki
looks over at her brother Joe.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Look at poor Joe, I feel so bad
for him.
                                                            
                       DAN
Don’t worry he’ll be fine.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah I know, it’s just that he has
been in love with Jayne since we
were kids.
                                                            
                       DAN
He just has to tell her how he
feels before its too late.
                                                            
Vicki lays her head on Dan's shoulder.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I just want to thank you for
treating me so nice, and for not
telling me I'm crazy for being
afraid of the woods.
                                                            

72.

                       DAN
No problem.
                                                            
Valerie, Debbie, Jackie, Ashley and Shannon walk by the
couples dancing.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
      (Points at Molly,
       Mike, Vicki and
       Dan.)
If they gave out the biggest loser
awards all four of them would win,
but those two
      (Points to Vicki
       and Dan.)
would be crowned king and queen.
                                                            
Valerie, Debbie, Jackie, Ashley and Shannon laugh and stick
their noses up in the air.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I kicked your ass once do I need
to do it again?
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Hah
                                                            
Valerie sticks her nose in the air and Valerie, Debbie,
Jackie, Ashley and Shannon all walk away.
                                                            
Pans up to the clock that reads 8:30 and spins to 9:30. The
principal is on stage. Bob, Jayne, Mike, Molly, Vicki, Dan
and Joe are sitting at their table.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Now it is time to announce this
year’s king and queen.
      (Opens an
       envelope.)
The king is Bob Wilson.
                                                            
Bob walks on to the stage and is crowned.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
And his queen is … Debbie Smith.
                                                            
Debbie walks on stage and is crowned. Valerie is shocked
that she didn’t win.
                                                            

73.

                       PRINCIPAL
Here is your Homecoming King and
Queen. Now it’s time for the king
and queen dance.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Did you guys see the look on
Valerie’s face when she didn’t
win. It was great.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
That bitch better not be all over
my boyfriend.
                                                            
                       JOE
He’s the one you should be
watching.
                                                            
The song ends and they announce that they are playing the
last song of the night. Of course it is Stairway to Heaven.
                                                            
                       JOE
Well guys I’m going home to
change, I’ll meet you at Tim’s
house.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Ok we’ll see you there.
                                                            
Joe walks out the doors. All couples go to the dance floor
and are dancing closely embraced.
                                                            
                       DAN
So did you have a good time?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah it was better then I
expected.
                                                            
                       DAN
Same here.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Do you want to change before we go
to the party?
                                                            
                       DAN
I have clothes in the car.
                                                            

74.

                       VICKI
I think I’ll just put on my tennis
shoes; this dress makes me feel
pretty.
                                                            
                       DAN
You’re not pretty
      (Pause.)
You are beautiful.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Blushes and looks
       down as tears
       swell in her
       eyes.)
Well you look very handsome.
      (Puts her head on
       Dan's shoulder.)
                                                            
The song has gotten faster, but everyone is still slow
dancing.
                                                            
                       DAN
You know earlier how I was saying
Joe needs to tell her how he feels
before its too late?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah.
                                                            
                       DAN
Well, I need to say something
before it's to late.
      (Pause)
Vicki I've wanted to be with you
for just about as long as I can
remember. You're a great person,
you're beautiful person, you're
nice and caring and I want to be
more then friends. What I'm trying
to say is do you to be more then
friends too?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Smiles.)
I've been waiting for you to ask
me that.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki start to kiss and continue to dance.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (She says to Mike.)
Look at that.
                                                            

75.

                       MIKE
It’s about time.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I know, they’re so cute.
      (She kisses Mike.)
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Whispers to Bob.)
Look at Vicki and Dan.
                                                            
                       BOB
I wondered how long it was going
to take them.
                                                            
The song ends everyone walks out of the gym and to their
cars.
                                                            
LINWORTH HIGH PARKING LOT
                                                            
Dan and Vicki are standing beside his car. Jayne is in Bob's
car waiting for Bob to get in.
                                                            
                       VICKI
So far this has been the best
night of my life.
                                                            
                       DAN
It is the best day of mine.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Yells to Dan and
       Vicki as he is
       getting in his
       car.)
You all ready for a great party?
      (Pause)
I'll see you at Tim's house if you
don't chicken out.
                                                            
                       DAN
Lets go to my house to get my
truck and stuff.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok.
                                                            
 

76.

EXT. TIM'S FARM - NIGHT
                                                            
There are a dozen cars in Tim's long driveway. Tim is
leading the pack. Tim gets on top of his car and yells out.
                                                            
                       TIM
Hey, HEY LISTEN UP! See those
woods back there, that's Kleaver
woods. If you're to chicken to go
back there, leave now!
                                                            
Two cars back out and leave Tim's driveway. Tim points.
                                                            
                       TIM
      (Yelling)
There go two cars full of chicken
shits. I hope the rest of you
brought tents and sleeping bags to
camp out.
      (Slight pause)
So if you want to party then
FOLLOW ME!!
                                                            
Tim jumps off the car and gets into it. Now you're in the
truck with Vicki and Dan.
                                                            
                       DAN
So are you sure you want to go?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don’t know why I’m saying this,
but let’s go.
                                                            
Dan puts the truck into drive and begins to follow the 10
cars through the field towards the woods. The cars park in
one straight line along the tree line. Everyone is getting
out of their cars with sleeping bags, tents, coolers, and
cases of beer. In the back of Tim's truck is a keg, a cooler
and a can of gasoline. It's dark outside only a sliver of
the moon is out. The leaves on the trees are changing. The
woods are dense. The sky is clear. The guys are still in
their tuxes and most of the girls are still in their
dresses. Molly, Valerie, Jessica, and Jayne have changed
into pants and shirts. Every one of them are wearing
jackets, it is an autumn night.
                                                            
                       TIM
Bob and I are going back to start
the fires. Then we’ll be back to
lead the way.
                                                            

77.

Tim and Bob walk into the woods, Tim is caring a small gas
can. Molly, Mike, Jayne, Joe, Vicki and Dan are standing
around. Mike, Joe and Dan are holding cases of beer, Vicki
is holding a bottle of liquor.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’ve got the chills just looking
at those woods.
                                                            
                       MIKE
We might not be here to long it’s
supposed to storm.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I hope. I can’t believe they want
to sleep out here. I’m not
sleeping out here.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Me too. I hope Bob doesn’t want to
stay out here, but he probably
will.
                                                            
                       JOE
If you want to leave and he
doesn’t I can give you a lift
home.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Thanks Joe I’ll probably have do
that.
                                                            
                       DAN
All I know is this better be a
good party it’s a little late in
the year to be camping outside.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Luckily it’s a nice night, not to
cold.
                                                            
You can just barely see the glow of the fires deep in the
woods.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Goody they got the fire going.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I hope they have enough wood to
keep it going.
                                                            

78.

Bob and Tim come out of the woods empty handed.
                                                            
                       TIM
Hey team get over here we need to
carry the keg and some chairs.
                                                            
The team walks over to his truck. It takes two guys to carry
the keg. The other guys carry folding chairs, cups, sleeping
bags, beer and tents.
                                                            
                       TIM
Everyone follow us to the
campsite.
                                                            
 
EXT. KLEAVER WOOD'S THE PARTY - NIGHT
                                                            
Everyone walks back into the woods arms full. You can hear
teens talking and the sounds of leaves CRUNCHING and twigs
SNAPPING beneath their feet. Trees are everywhere you look.
They walk about a quarter of a mile or more until they walk
into the campsite. It is a cleared circle probably 40 feet
in circumference. There at two fires one on the left one on
the right about five feet inward. Around the fire to the
right are four logs making a square around the fire. The
teens with tents start to set them up around the sides and
back of the circle. Where everyone has walked in sets the
keg and a pile of firewood also a cooler sits by the keg
with cups sitting on top of it. Around the fire on the left
are the folding chairs and a radio. After the five tents are
set up Bob grabs a beer and yells.
                                                            
                       BOB
The king declares that it is time
to party.
                                                            
Some teens are in tents, some standing around in small
groups. Vicki, Dan, Molly, Mike, Joe, Jayne, Bob, Tim and
Jeff are sitting on the logs around the right side fire.
They are drinking beer and passing around a joint of course
Bob passes on the joint. Vicki is taking swigs out of the
bottle of whiskey. They are all talking it seems weird to
the group of friends that they are carrying on a
conversation with football players.
                                                            
                       DAN
So how did you find this spot?
                                                            
                       TIM
I had to come back here a few
times until I found it, and when I
did it screamed party. Then Bob
came out here with me and we made
these seats and got some firewood.
            (MORE)

79.

                       TIM (cont'd)
You remember how you almost cut
your leg off with the chain saw.
                                                            
                       BOB
Hell yeah I almost pissed myself.
                                                            
                       VICKI
So nothing strange happened when
you were out here?
                                                            
                       TIM
No why?
                                                            
                       BOB
She thinks everyone who comes out
here dies. You know the story.
                                                            
                       TIM
So why did you come out here?
                                                            
                       BOB
We have a bet going that our
parties are better then theirs.
                                                            
                       TIM
It might seem slow now, but this
party will be rocking as the night
goes on.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Let's hope so.
      (Tips head back
       and finishes his
       beer.)
                                                            
                       DAN
      (Says to Vicki.)
So hearing that he has been back
here plenty of times make you feel
any better?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah a little.
                                                            
                       JOE
I hope it doesn't rain, because I
want to get so drunk that I don't
remember my name.
      (Looks over and
       sees Bob and
       Jayne making out.)
I'm off to get another beer, or
            (MORE)

80.

                       JOE (cont'd)
two.
                                                            
Joe gets up and walks to the keg.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey guys I'll be right back.
                                                            
Vicki gets up and walks over to the keg to talk to Joe.
Vicki is standing off to the side of the keg.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey Joe can I talk to you for a
second over here.
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah let me grab my beer.
      (Gets beer walks
       over.)
                                                            
                       VICKI
Are you ok?
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah and the more beer I drink the
better I’ll feel.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah until you wake up tomorrow.
                                                            
                       JOE
I just want to forget about
everything. The girl I’ve been
in-love with most of my life is
going to marry an asshole, who
treats her like shit, and the
shittiest thing is she has no idea
how I feel.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Joe you just have to tell her how
you feel before it’s too late and
she is walking down the aisle. Hey
I don’t want to see one of my good
friends marry an asshole like Bob
and I don’t want to see my brother
all depressed. You never know
maybe she feels the same way about
you.
                                                            

81.

                       JOE
I’ve tried to tell her, but the
words never come out right, or
they don’t come out at all.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well I guarantee that once you get
enough booze in you, you’ll be
able to say exactly how you feel
and you won’t care if the whole
world hears.
                                                            
                       JOE
That's true.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey what’s a sister for.
                                                            
                       JOE
Thanks Vicki.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No problem.
      (Punches Joe in
       the arm.)
                                                            
Vicki walks back over to the fire. Now only Dan, Mike and
Molly are sitting around the fire. Vicki sits next to Dan.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So how is he doing?
                                                            
                       VICKI
A little sad, but I told him to
get good and drunk and tell her
how he feels.
                                                            
                       DAN
I hope she doesn’t shoot him down;
I don’t know if he’ll recover.
                                                            
                       VICKI
If she’s smart she won’t. So where
did the other four go?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Who cares?
      (Turns to Mike.)
Hey baby can you go get me another
beer.
                                                            

82.

                       MIKE
Sure.
      (Gets up.)
Can or keg?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Keg.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Ok I'll be right back.
                                                            
Mike gets up and walks away.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I’m so happy you two are finally
together.
                                                            
                       DAN
Not as happy as me.
                                                            
Dan puts his arm around Vicki, Vicki smiles.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I can’t believe you are still
wearing your dress. I made sure I
changed first.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey at least I’m not wearing the
heels like the prissy girls.
                                                            
Mike walks back with two cups of beer and hands one to
Molly.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Here you go hon.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Thanks babe.
      (Kisses Mike when
       he sits down.
       Then says to
       Mike.)
Hey lets light up another doobie.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Whatever you want.
                                                            
Mike pulls a joint out from the breast pocket of his shirt
and lights it up and starts to pass it around.
                                                            

83.

                       VICKI
      (Hits the joint
       and exhales and
       says.)
Has any one seen Joe?
                                                            
                       MIKE
I seen him talking to a chick over
there.
      (Points to the
       left.)
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok I just gotta keep and eye on
him.

                                                            
The joint is going around the circle. Valerie is leaning
over by a tree on the perimeter of circle, she is throwing
up, and Ashley is holding her hair. Molly looks over to see
this and laughs and says to her friends.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Guys look at her.
                                                            
Vicki, Dan Molly and Mike all start to laugh. Valerie
finishes throwing up and walks over to them and with an
attitude she says.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
What were you assholes laughing
at?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
A cheerleader puking.
                                                            
Vicki, Dan, Molly and Mike laugh.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Isn’t it a little early to be
throwing up. Someone can’t hold
their alcohol very well.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
I could be puking and still look
better then you two.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That’s why we have boyfriends and
you don’t.
                                                            

84.

                       VALERIE
Ahh.
      (Yells angrily,
       turns around and
       sticks her nose
       in the air as she
       walks away she
       says.)
Sluts.
                                                            
Jayne walks back over.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
What was that about?
                                                            
                       DAN
The bitch got burned.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Bob wanted me to ask you guys
something.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
What?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Jim’s got shrooms for sale; he
wanted to know if you guys wanted
to buy any?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Maybe if we weren’t in the woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No thanks.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (She points to the
       guys.)
How about you two?
                                                            
                       MIKE
No thanks.
                                                            
                       DAN
No thanks.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Are you eating any?
                                                            

85.

                       JAYNE
Like you said, not out in the
woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Do me a favor, don’t ask Joe.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Ok.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Is Bob eating any?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yeah, and I don’t feel like
dealing with him tripping when I’m
not. You know what I mean?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Well I’ll be right back I’m just
going to tell Bob no sale.
                                                            
Jayne walks off and Joe walks over and sits down with Vicki,
Dan, Molly and Mike.
                                                            
                       JOE
Guess what?
                                                            
                       DAN
What?
                                                            
                       JOE
I got some chick’s phone number!
                                                            
                       VICKI
Good for you. What’s her name?
                                                            
                       JOE
I don’t remember, it’s on the
paper. I hope she’s still pretty
tomorrow.
                                                            
                       MIKE
      (Laughs.)
You’re great man.
                                                            
Jayne walks back over beer in hand and sits by Joe.
                                                            

86.

                       MOLLY
So what’s Bob doing?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Talking football with the guys.
      (Takes a drink.)
I just want to thank all you guys
for coming. Usually I’m bored out
of my mind at these parties. He
goes off with the guys and I sit
here alone, well sometimes I hang
out with Jessica.
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Slightly slurring
       his words.)
Well you’re welcome Jayne.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Well since all of us are here lets
have some fun.
                                                            
Everyone says yeah and puts their beers in the air. Now it
goes over to the left where the other teens are. They are
all sitting in folding chairs around the fire. Debbie is
sitting on Tim's lap, Jackie is sitting with Jeff, Shannon
is sitting with Mark (Football player.), Lizzy (Not a
cheerleader put a popular girl.) is sitting with Jason
(Football player.) and Jessica is sitting with Todd
(football player.). The rest of the guys (Bob, Jim, Eric,
George, Don, and Steve. (All football player.) and girls
Anna, Jill and Heather. (Popular.) are all sitting in their
own chairs. They are talking about the game Mark and Jason
are paying more attention to the girls on their laps.
Valerie and Ashley walk over with beers in hand they are
walking crooked.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
      (Says to Bob and
       Jim.)
Mind if we sit on your laps?
                                                            
                       JIM
Fine with me.
                                                            
                       BOB
I guess it would be alright.
                                                            
Ashley sits with Jim and Valerie with Bob.
                                                            

87.

                       VALERIE
All those touchdowns you scored
tonight were so amazing.
                                                            
                       BOB
Thank you Valerie. At least
someone here sees my talent.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
You are very welcome.
                                                            
                       BOB
You guys want some shrooms?
                                                            
                       VALERIE
You have some?

                                                            
                       BOB
Yeah want some?
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Hell yes. How much?
                                                            
                       BOB
For you free.
      (Hands Valerie
       some. Valerie
       chews some up.)
How about you Ashley?
                                                            
                       ASHLEY
I don’t know……. are the rest of
you guys?
                                                            
                       JIM
We all have you are the only one
who hasn’t stepped on the magic
bus.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Come on Ashley it’s great we have
all done them before.
                                                            
                       ASHLEY
Ok.
      (Bob hands her
       some and she
       chews them up.)
These things taste nasty.
                                                            

88.

                       VALERIE
It's worth it: So Bob why isn't
Mary Jane sitting with you?
                                                            
                       BOB
She didn’t want to trip, plus all
her boring friends are here, I
guess she’d rather be with them
then me.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
If she was here you’d just be
ignoring her anyway.
                                                            
                       BOB
Did anyone ask you Jess.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
      (Rolls eyes.)
You are such a jerk.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Who invited them anyway?
                                                            
                       BOB
I did. We have a bet that our
parties are better ten thiers.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Forget what Jess said Mary Jane
doesn't know what she is missing.
                                                            
Valerie looks over and sees Vicki, Dan, Mike, Molly, Jayne
and Joe laughing and drinking.
                                                            
                       DEBBIE
Hey where is that radio?
                                                            
                       TIM
      (Reaches under his
       chair and pulls
       out a radio.)
Here you go.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Hey Tim throw a few brew skies
over this way.
                                                            
Tim reaches in the cooler and throws three beers to Steve,
Don, and George.
                                                            

89.

                       DON
And that is why you are the
quarter back man.
                                                            
Debbie turns on some dancing disco type music.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
We should move some of these
chairs and dance.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
That’s a great idea. Come on guys
lets dance.
                                                            
The "loser" kids look over and see everyone starting to get
up and move chairs. The "popular" kids start to dance.
Jayne's back is to Bob and his friends. Goes back to the
"losers".
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Let’s all try and block that music
out.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don’t know how people listen to
that stuff let alone like it.
                                                            
Now it goes back to the "popular" kids who are dancing,
couples are dancing together. Valerie starts to
provocatively dance with Bob.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
      (Whispers in Bob's
       ear.)
Hey while no one is looking, you
want to go in the woods and fool
around?
                                                            
Bob is silent for few seconds.
                                                            
                       BOB
Mary Jane can never know!
                                                            
                       VALERIE
She'll never know.
      (Says as she pulls
       Bob by the shirt
       and towards the
       woods.)
                                                            

90.

Bob and Valerie walk a few feet into the woods and begin to
make out. We now go back to the "loser" kids still sitting
around the fire drinking and talking.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Do you guys remember when we all
built that club house in Dan’s
back yard.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I bet that thing has fallen apart.
                                                            
                       DAN
Actually it's still standing and
in pretty good shape.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Really?
                                                            
                       JOE
I guess we built it better then we
thought.
                                                            
                       DAN
Remember the day we finished it?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah we stayed out there until it
got dark.
                                                            
                       DAN
And then we were to afraid to walk
all the way back to my house, we
had to wait for my parents to come
looking for us.
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Slurring his
       words.)
And Bob was the most afraid.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
He was freaking out; he thought
something was coming to kill us
all.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
He pissed his pants, that was so
great.
                                                            

91.

                       VICKI
      (Sighs)
Simpler times.
                                                            
                       MIKE
I’m going to grab a beer. Anyone
else want one?
                                                            
                       DAN
I’ll take one.
                                                            
                       JOE
Me too.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I’ll second that.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I want one too; I guess I better
help you.
                                                            
                       MIKE
You want one Vicki?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Says as she shows
       Mike the bottle.)
Nope I got my bottle right here.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Yeah that’s right you don’t drink
beer.
                                                            
Mike and Molly walk away to go get beers. Joe leans over to
Jayne and softly says.
                                                            
                       JOE
I need to tell you something.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
What?
                                                            
                       JOE
I’ll tell you later just remind
me.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Ok.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Sometimes don’t you guys wish that
we were little kids again? We had
so much fun.
            (MORE)

92.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
                                                            
                       DAN
We did some stupid things too.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Oh my God yeah. I’m amazed no one
was killed or seriously injured.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah we were pretty crazy.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Especially at my house we had no
supervision.
                                                            
Mike and Molly walk back with five beers. Molly has two and
Mike has three all cans. He gives the Dan and Joe their
beers and Molly gives one to Jayne. Joe throws his empty can
into the large pile of empty cups and cans that they have on
the ground beside them.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Hey guys I'll be right back I'm
going to check on Bob.
                                                            
They all say "OK" and Jayne walks off to the left to see
what Bob is doing.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey everyone listen. Before she
comes back me, Dan, Molly and Mike
we’ll all go somewhere so Joe can
talk to her alone. Does that sound
good to you Joe?
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah, but what should I tell her
when she asks where you all are?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Just tell her we went to the
bathroom I don’t know, just make
something up.
                                                            
Now back to Jayne, she can not find Bob so she asks Tim and
Jeff who are standing off to the side of the “dance floor”
talking.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Have you guys seen Bob?
                                                            

93.

                       TIM
He was dancing, that’s the last
time I saw him.
                                                            
                       JEFF
Same here.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Thanks.
                                                            
Jayne walks away.
                                                            
                       JEFF
Hey man I’m going to run to my car
and get some grass.
                                                            
                       TIM
Ok see ya.
                                                            
Jeff walks off and into the woods.
                                                            
                       TIM
      (To Debbie)
Hey baby!
                                                            
                       DEBBIE
Hey.
      (Gives Tim a quick
       kiss on the lips.)
Lets dance!
                                                            
 
EXT. ED GETS JEFF. - NIGHT
                                                            
Jeff is walking through the woods to his car. It's dark, but
luckily he has a flashlight. Jeff begins to talk to himself
out loud.
                                                            
                       JEFF
I hope these 'shrooms kick in
soon.
      (Continues
       walking.)
Damn it didn't seem like it was
this far before?
                                                            
All of the sudden Jeff hears the sound of someone following
him. Jeff stops in his tracks, but the sound doesn't.
                                                            
                       JEFF
      (Yells)
Who is that?
      (Sound of fear in
       his voice.)
            (MORE)

94.

                       JEFF (cont'd)
Is that you Tim? Stop, it's not
fucking funny man. I swear when I
find you I'll kick your ass.
                                                            
Jeff slowly turns around and starts searching all around him
with his flashlight and sees nothing, but trees. As quickly
as the sound started it stops.
                                                            
                       JEFF
I must be tripping.
                                                            
Suddenly a bat flies right past Jeff's face he screams and
jumps back a foot or two.
                                                            
                       JEFF
Damn bats.
                                                            
Jeff turns around to start walking to his car. Jeff GASPS,
but we don't know why. Then all you see is a pitch fork
being impaled right into Jeff's face right into Jeff's eyes.
Jeff gets tacked right to a tree. Jeff's whole body is
twitching. You still have not seen "the monster". Then you
see a reaper swing and chop Jeff's body in half. Jeff's top
half is hanging on the tree and his bottom half is on the
ground. A hand comes up and grabs the shorten handle of the
pitch fork.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Hasn't your parents told you to
stay out of my woods.
                                                            
Ed is wearing a tattered white t-shirt; there is a huge hole
through his chest. Ed is wearing tattered, dirty jeans and
old work boots. Ed's flesh is decaying he has hardly any
skin. You can see bones on Ed's face and arms. Other places
you see muscles and connective tissues with skin barely
hanging on. Ed has dark brown eyes so dark they are almost
black. Ed only has a few patches of hair on his head. On the
back of Ed's head there is a half dollar sized hole showing
his brain. Ed's teeth are brown and rotting. Ed carries the
pitch fork on his back handle side up. The shorten reaper
goes diagonally across his back left to right, going
diagonally across his back right to left is a wooden
baseball bat with spikes coming out all around the top.
Hanging from Ed's tool belt is a hatchet on the left and a
ten inch double sided knife. On his right is something that
looks like a sander or pizza cutter except that the piece of
metal is jagged and super sharp. Beside that is a large meat
cleaver.
                                                            

95.

                       ED KLEAVER
      (Laughs an evil
       laugh.)
I'm going to have fun tonight.
                                                            
Ed pulls the pitch fork out of Jeff's head, Jeff's upper
body falls to the ground. Ed puts his pitch fork back,
behind his back.
                                                            
 
EXT. JAYNE'S SEARCH FOR BOB - NIGHT
                                                            
Now were back to Jayne looking for Bob. Jayne still has not
found Bob. Jayne begins to look behind the tents and in to
the woods. Jayne hears Bob LAUGHING and Valerie GIGGLING
too. Jayne silently peeks farther through the trees. With
only the flickering of the firelight Jayne sees Bob pressed
against Valerie up against a tree. Bob and Valerie are
kissing and necking, Bob's hand is creeping up Valerie's
shirt. Jayne's jaw drops, Jayne drops her beer and begins to
cry. Jayne turns around and runs between two tents, pushes
her way through the crowd and runs over to the other fire
where her friends are, but no one is there except for Joe.
Now Jayne isn't crying she is balling. Joe jumps up and
grabs Jayne.
                                                            
                       JOE
What's wrong Jayne?
      (Pauses, Jayne
       continues to cry)
What? What is it?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
B, b, b, bob.
                                                            
                       JOE
What is he hurt or something?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Crying)
I wish.
                                                            
Joe pulls Jayne close and hugs her. Joe is holding Jayne.
Jayne's head is on Joe's shoulder.
                                                            
                       JOE
What did he do?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Crying)
I saw him making out with Valerie
and going up her shirt.
                                                            

96.

                       JOE
That asshole. I'll kick his ass.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
No! Just stay here and hold me. I
can't believe he would do this to
me. We have been together for
almost two years.
                                                            
                       JOE
Do you want me to go kick his ass?
Because I will!
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yes.
                                                            
Joe lets go of Jayne and tries to walk away.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Not here, not with all his
football buddies around.
                                                            
                       JOE
You sure? I've been drinking.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Maybe later. Can I have your beer?
                                                            
Joe hands Jayne his beer, Jayne guzzles it down.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You know what fuck Bob; I don't
want to talk about him anymore.
      (Takes another
       drink)
So what was it that you wanted to
tell me earlier?
                                                            
                       JOE
Um well ah; this might take me a
little while. A,a,a ok well at
the dance when you came up and
said you were engaged.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Loudly says)
How could I forget about that, he
just asked me TONIGHT!
      (Pulls the ring
       off her finger.)
I know he is going to screw her
that bastard.
      (Throws the ring
       in to the fire.)
            (MORE)

97.

                       JAYNE (cont'd)
That asshole I bet this isn’t the
first time.
                                                            
Joe waits a few seconds before he finishes what he started
saying.
                                                            
                       JOE
I was pissed off because he is
such an asshole and I didn't want
to see you throw your life away on
him. Plus I thought my life was
going to be over too.
      (Pauses still
       having a hard
       time getting out
       what he wants to
       say.)
I've wanted to be with you
forever, I've always loved you,
then you started dating Bob and I
just could never get the words
right.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Tears swell in
       her eyes.)
Really? I liked you, but I
couldn't ask you. Then Bob asked
me out, but I never thought it
would last when it started. I
can't believe I wasted almost two
years of my life on him.
                                                            
                       JOE
Screw him he couldn’t see what he
had, he never deserved you.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I don’t think I deserve you.
                                                            
                       JOE
I think you do.
                                                            
Joe leans in towards Jayne, they share a passionate kiss.
                                                            
                       JOE
You don't know how long I've
waited for that.
                                                            
Jayne kisses Joe again.
                                                            

98.

                       JAYNE
Why don't you get us some beers?
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah, yeah sure. Be right back.
                                                            
Joe runs to get beers. After Joe has gone Molly, Mike,
Vicki, and Dan run over to Jayne.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey are you ok? Tim said he saw
you crying.
                                                            
                       VICKI
What happened?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I caught Bob fooling around with
Valerie.
                                                            
                       VICKI
What an asshole.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah. If I were you I’d kill him.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Did you guys see him when you were
over there?
                                                            
Mike, Molly, Dan and Vicki all shake their heads no.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
He’s still back there with her
that cheating bastard! I go check
on him, but he doesn’t care a damn
about me.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Are you going to be alright Jayne?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yeah I think so. Better now then
finding out after I married the
jerk.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey none of us cared for him
anyway.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
He never liked you guys either,
that always pissed me off too. At
least I have good news. Joe want
            (MORE)

99.

                       JAYNE (cont'd)
to be with me and at least I know
he is not a cheater.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Loudly)
YES!
                                                            
Dan, Molly, Mike and Jayne look at Vicki.
                                                            
                       VICKI
What he's my brother, you guys
always knew he liked her.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You want to hear something funny?
That ring that bastard gave me, I
threw it in the fire.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
You could have pond that.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I'd rather watch it burn.
                                                            
Joe comes back with two beers.
                                                            
                       JOE
Sorry it took me so long. So did
you tell them the bad news and the
great news?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah crongrats bro.
                                                            
                       JOE
Thanks. Hey Jayne do you want to
go talk somewhere?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I’d love to. Talk to you guys
later.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki, Mike and Molly wave bye to Jayne and Joe as
Jayne and Joe walk away.
                                                            
 
EXT. DAN AND VICKI WANT TO TALK. - NIGHT

fix up that corvette?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Softly says to
       Vicki.)
Don't worry they aren't going to
hear a word we say they're talking
about cars.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah I know. I thought this party
was going to suck, but it’s
turning out pretty good so far.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah. You better hope Bob didn’t
hear that.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Hey are parties are better, but
this isn’t as bad as I pictured
it.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Hey why don't you and Dan go talk
somewhere.
      (Gives a gesture
       when she says the
       word talk.)
You know what I'm saying?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Winks.)
And you can go talk with Mike.

                       VICKI

Tim walks over to Dan and Vicki.
                                                            
                       TIM
Hey have you two seen Jeff? He
went out to his car to get
something, but that was a while
ago.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I haven’t seen him. How about you

                       DAN

Tim walks off towards his friends and Vicki and Dan walk
away to the log where they were sitting ealier and get the
blanket. Dan and Vicki go lay out the blanket between two
tents behind the fire on the right. Dan sits down, Vicki sit
between Dan's legs, with her back to his chest. Dan puts his
arm around Vicki.
                                                            
                       VICKI
This has been a great day.
                                                            
                       DAN
Yeah I know.
                                                            
                       VICKI
The dance was nice and I’m so
happy about Jayne and Joe.
                                                            
                       DAN

what is even better?
                                                            
                       VICKI
What’s that?
                                                            

102.

                       DAN
That I’m sitting here with you
under the stars in my arms,
knowing that your mine and that I
could kiss you anytime I want.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah it’s great.
                                                            
Vicki tilts her head up and they start to kiss.
                                                            
 
EXT. BOB AND VALERIE FINISH FOOLING AROUND. - NIGHT
                                                            
Bob and Valerie are putting their pants back on in the
woods.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
That was fun; maybe we should do
that again sometime?
                                                            
                       BOB
Yeah it was. I should probably
check on Mary Jane before she
starts suspecting something.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Ok I’ll see later.
                                                            
Valerie walks out of the woods a few seconds later Bob comes
out. Bob begins walking around looking for Jayne. Bob starts
walking behind the tents. Bob looks and sees Dan and Vicki
kissing. Bob then walks a few more feet and sees Jayne and
Joe sitting behind a tent also kissing. Bob instantly gets
furious.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Yells)
What the hell is going on here?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I don't know what was going on
with you and Valerie in the woods?
Huh asshole?
                                                            
Bob is speechless, he thought no one knew.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You come over here yelling at me
like you're some high and mighty
shit. I know you screwed her.
                                                            

103.

                       JOE
You don’t deserve Jayne.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Angry)
No body asked you anything.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Don’t talk to Joe like that. It’s
not his fault that our
relationship meant nothing to you.

                                                            
                       BOB
I’m sorry she came on to me I
didn’t know what to do. You have
to forgive me. Remember we were
going to get married.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You say no you dumb ass. If I
meant something to you, you would
have said no. You can go marry
that slut, because you’re not
marring me.
                                                            
                       BOB
She was just a piece of ass, she
meant nothing, but you do.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
No I'm the one, who meant nothing
to you; I'm sure that was not the
first time you cheated on me. You
always treated me like shit and
bossed me around and my dumb-ass
put up with it. You treated my
friends like shit.
      (Slight pause.)
I through your ring in the fire.
If you want it, go get it because
I don't and I don't want to see
your face so get the hell away
from me.
                                                            
                       BOB
Fine stay here and screw around
with my best friend you slut.
                                                            
Joe jumps up and gets in Bob's face.
                                                            

104.

                       JOE
What did you just call her?
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Smiles)
What are you going to do, kick my
ass?
                                                            
                       JOE
I think I will.
                                                            
Joe and Bob start to push each other. Jayne gets between
them.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Stop it you two. Bob just get the
hell out of here.
                                                            
                       BOB
Fine, but we will finish this
sooner or later.
      (Walks back over
       to his friends.)
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Don't waste your time on him Joe,
it's not worth it.
      (Whispers in Joe's
       ear.)
You'll have more fun here with me
anyway.
                                                            
 
EXT. AROUND THE FIRES. - NIGHT
                                                            
Bob walks over to his group of friends, he walks up to
Valerie.
                                                            
                       BOB
Hey lets hang out.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
What’s your girlfriend doing?
                                                            
                       BOB
Oh you didn’t hear us screaming?
We are over, she dumped me.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Oh poor baby are you ok?
                                                            

105.

                       BOB
Yeah I think I’ll be ok. I’m
single I can do what I want, when
I want.
      (Pause.)
Now I think of it I’m feeling
pretty good. Let’s go sit by the
fire.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
ok.
                                                            
                       TIM
      (Says to Valerie
       and Bob.)
Have you guys seen Jeff?
                                                            
                       BOB
No. Where did he go?
                                                            
                       TIM
He went to go get some grass out
of his car. I guess he went home
or something.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Laughs.)
Maybe the monster in the woods got
him.
                                                            
                       DON
I wonder if that house is still
out here.
                                                            
                       SHANNON
Probably not. I don’t even think
that story was true.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
What story?
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Jokingly)
They say that some guy in the 50's
killed his mother in these woods
and kills whoever comes into his
woods.
                                                            
                       TIM
      (Sarcastically.)
Yeah sure. I've been back here a
bunch of times.
                                                            

106.

                       BOB
If you want to know more about it
ask Vicki.
                                                            
                       JIM
Hey guys look up at the stars,
they are all different colors.
                                                            
Everyone looks up.
                                                            
                       TIM
Cool.
                                                            
                       ASHLEY
I don’t know what’s so great they
just look like stars to me.
                                                            
                       JIM
Just wait you’ll start seeing it
soon.
                                                            
GOES OVER TO THE OTHER FIRE, WHERE MIKE AND MOLLY ARE.
                                                            
Mike and Molly are sitting together by the other fire, they
have their arms around one another.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
So are you having a good time
baby?
                                                            
                       MIKE
Yeah I’m with my girlfriend; I got
a good buzz going. Are you having
a good time?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah I’m just a little tired.
                                                            
                       MIKE
You want to leave and go to my
house?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah in a little while, after
Vicki and Dan come back.
                                                            
Jessica walks over and sits down across from Molly and Mike.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Hi I’m Jessica. You’re Molly
Jayne’s friend right?
                                                            

107.

                       MOLLY
That’s me and this is my boyfriend
Mike. So did you get bored with
your friends over there?
                                                            
                       JESSICA
They're all tripping so I figured
I'd come over and meet you guys.
      (Pauses)
When I was over there, they said
something about some urban legend
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Oh Kleaver woods?
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Are we in Kleaver woods?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I didn’t know if they were trying
to scare me or something. Bob said
Vicki knew more about it. Where is
she anyway?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Oh her and Dan are talking or
something. I’m sure they will be
over here pretty soon. You can
stay here and wait for her if you
want.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Ok.
                                                            
 
EXT. VICKI'S DREAM. - NIGHT
                                                            
Vicki has fallen asleep. We now go into Vicki's dream. Vicki
is standing alone in the woods it is silent, it's dark.
Vicki is breathing heavy; Vicki is spinning around looking
everywhere, like a scared wild animal that has just been
trapped in a cage. When suddenly the silence is broken by an
evil disturbing voice, in a long whisper you hear "VICKI"
then louder and faster "VICKI, I SEE YOU."
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells.)
Leave me alone.
                                                            
Ed just laughs a sinister LAUGH. Vicki starts to run.
                                                            

108.

                       ED KLEAVER (V.O.)
Run, Run as fast as you can.
                                                            
Vicki is running as fast as she can, but seeming to get no
where.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER (V.O.)
      (Laughs)
The chase always makes things more
exciting.
                                                            
Vicki comes to a screeching halt. Then you see what Vicki
sees. Vicki is looking at the campsite where they have been
having the party. The ground is covered in blood and dead
bodies. The bodies of her friends and fellow classmates are
massacred. Vicki is GASPING she can't believe her eyes.
Vicki slowly starts to walk in and look around, when
suddenly Ed grabs Vicki from behind. Vicki SCREAMS and jumps
up out of her sleep.
                                                            
                       DAN
Are you ok?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Hysterically.)
We all have to get out of here
now. He’s going to kill us all!
                                                            
                       DAN
Calm down, I can’t understand you.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Frightened and
       talking a million
       miles a minute.)
In my dream I was running and he
is chasing me, but I can’t see
him. I finally get back to this
campsite and everyone is dead.
Then he grabbed me and I woke up.
I don’t have a good feeling about
this. We all have to leave now!
                                                            
BACK TO MOLLY AND JESSICA BY THE FIRE.
                                                            
George, Steve, and Don are walking back from the kegs. They
walk by Molly and Jessica and you hear the boys say.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
You know what would be fun? To try
to find that house that you were
talking about earlier.
                                                            

109.

                       DON
If it’s even there.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
If it is we can destroy it.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Cool, lets go man.
                                                            
George, Steve and Don walk away towards the woods.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Did you hear those guys?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Yeah they must be crazy or drunk.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Or both. They’ll probably get lost
out there.
                                                            
Vicki comes running over to Molly and Jessica. Vicki is
still freaking out over her nightmare. Dan is right behind
Vicki.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Molly where is everyone?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Mike went to start the car; I have
no clue where Jayne and Joe are.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We all have to get out of here
ASAP.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Is this about that legend? Is it
real?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh yeah. I did research and there
is some weird shit that has gone
on in this town. People just
disappearing.
                                                            
                       DAN
She just had a nightmare.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You don’t understand it was so
real. I was running and running,
and then I was here and everyone
was dead. We all have to leave.
            (MORE)

110.

                       VICKI (cont'd)
Jeff has already went missing, I’m
sure he is dead now.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
What? Jeff is missing?
                                                            
                       DAN
He went to his car and he hasn’t
come back yet.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Oh no!
                                                            
                       VICKI
What?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Mike just left a few minutes ago
to start the car. I have to find
him.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Wait don’t go alone. Just let me
find Joe and Jayne and we can all
go.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I can’t wait, I have to go now.
                                                            
Molly gets up and runs off towards the woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells)
Damn it Molly! Jessica you should
go tell your friends to get out of
here now.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I'll tell them, but I doubt they
will want to leave. Can you guys
please wait for me?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’ve got to find my brother. Just
hurry and we can give you a ride
if you need one.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Ok.
                                                            

111.

Jessica gets up and goes over to her friends. Vicki and Dan
start to look for Jayne and Joe. They start looking around
the tents they are calling their names, but Vicki and Dan
can't find Joe and Jayne. Vicki and Dan find the blanket
that Joe and Jayne were sitting on, but they are not there
anymore.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I hope they left.
                                                            
                       DAN
Hopefully. We should ask if anyone
has seen them.
                                                            
                       VICKI
That’s a good idea.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan walk over to the other kids who are all in
their own little worlds. Some are dancing, some crying, some
laughing, and some couples are making out.
                                                            
                       DAN
I’m not sure how much help they’ll
be, but it’s worth a try.
                                                            
 
EXT. THREE BOYS SEARCH FOR THE SHACK. - NIGHT
                                                            
George, Steve and Don are in the woods looking for the Ed's
house. Only George has a flashlight.
                                                            
                       DON
I can’t believe we are out here
looking for a house that we don’t
even know if it exists. And if it
does what’s the chances we are
going to find it? Lets just go
back to the party.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
What are you some kind of woos?
                                                            
                       STEVE
You chicken.
      (Starts to make
       chicken noises.)
Bock, bock, bock, bock
                                                            
                       DON
No. I just think we are wasting
our time looking for something
we’ll never find. When we could be
back at the party trying to get
            (MORE)

112.

                       DON (cont'd)
laid.
                                                            
                       STEVE
He's right. Lets go back.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Hey, shut up.
                                                            
George is shining the flashlight around, the light glares
off a window.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Guys I just think we found it.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Cool.
                                                            
George shines the flashlight at the dilapidated shack. It's
a small rectangular structure. It has two small windows in
the front with the door in between. The door is almost off
of its hinges. Its long slanted roof is caving in. The three
boys start to slowly walk towards the shack.
                                                            
                       DON
Ok we found it. Now lets go back
to the party.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
I didn’t walk all this way just to
look at it. Lets go in and look
around.
                                                            
                       DON
I’m not going in there it will
probably cave in on us.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Fine you can stay out here and
keep watch you chicken.
                                                            
                       DON
Fine
                                                            
George and Steve walk into the shack. Inside is old police
crime scene tape on the floor. In front of them is the fire
place, to their left is an old table and chairs just about
to fall apart, to the right is and old bed that is barely
there, and to the far left is a door. Everything is covered
in dust and falling apart. Cobwebs are everywhere you look.
                                                            

113.

                       STEVE
      (Says as he picks
       up some old crime
       scene tape.)
I guess someone was murdered here.
This place is so small, no wonder
he went crazy.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Tell me about it.
                                                            
Everything is quiet for a few seconds. Suddenly a big rat
runs by their feet and lets out a loud squeak. George and
Steve SCREAM.
                                                            
                       DON (V.O.)
      (Yells from
       outside.)
What?
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Nothing just a rat. Lets break
some shit.
                                                            
George and Steve smash the table and each of them pick up a
chair and smash it to pieces. George and Steve then walk
into the small bedroom. George and Steve see a bed that is
destroyed by time and rodents. Once George and Steve are in
the room the door slams shut behind them. At the same time
the flashlight quits working, George and Steve are in
complete darkness, George shakes the flashlight. The light
comes back on only to reveal Ed Kleaver
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Haven’t you ever heard of
knocking.
                                                            
Before George and Steve can scream Ed slices George and
Steve in half with two reapers. Don is outside and he hears
the THUD of their bodies dropping. Don slowly walks in to
the shack. Don begins to look around for his friends.
                                                            
                       DON
You guys better not be screwing
with me. It isn’t funny man.
                                                            
Don sees the bedroom door he walks over and tries to open
it, but it won't budge. So Don slams in to it a few times
with his shoulder. The door breaks apart to only reveal his
two friends are now four. Don SCREAMS and runs out of the
shack. When Don gets out of the door he begins to throw up.
Don then hears a voice.
                                                            

114.

                       ED KLEAVER
Aren’t you going to run?
                                                            
Don looks behind him he sees Ed Kleaver and watches the
shack disappear before his eyes.
                                                            
                       DON
Oh shit.
                                                            
Don takes off running through the woods screaming "HELP".
Instantly Don's head falls off of his body, Don's body falls
to the ground. You then see Ed Kleaver standing about ten
feet away with his "pizza cutter weapon" in his hand in the
aiming position.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (Laughs)
Don't loose your head!
                                                            
 
EXT. MIKE MUST DIE! - NIGHT
                                                            
Now you see Mike he is walking back into the woods. When
Mike hears Molly calling his name from a distance. Mike
stops and looks around trying to find where Molly is calling
from. Mike yells to Molly.
                                                            
                       MIKE
Molly where are you?
                                                            
                       MOLLY (VO)
I'm over here I fell down, I think
I broke my ankle or something.
                                                            
Mike takes off running towards Molly's voice. Trees are
everywhere; you are running right behind Mike.
                                                            
                       MIKE
      (Yells)
Molly where are you?
                                                            
                       MOLLY (VO)
      (Sounds closer.)
I'm over here. Hurry it really
hurts
                                                            
Mike starts running even faster towards Molly's voice. All
of the sudden from behind a tree a baseball bat with spikes
swings out and strikes Mike in the head, the spikes have
come through the back of Mike's head blood is tripping off
of them. Mike's body falls to the ground. Ed Kleaver walks
out from behind the tree.
                                                            

115.

                       ED KLEAVER
Batter up!
      (Then in Molly's
       voice.)
Help me Mike help me.
                                                            
Ed starts to LAUGH at his own evil deeds. Ed bends down and
takes back his bat from Mike.
                                                            
 
EXT. BACK AT THE PARTY. - NIGHT
                                                            
Vicki, Dan and Jessica have met back by the fire.
                                                            
                       VICKI
So did you guys find out anything?
                                                            
                       DAN
A few people said that they seen
them go into the woods.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I can’t leave until I find my
brother.
                                                            
                       DAN
Maybe he left.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Well I told all of them that they
should leave, but they just said
you're crazy they're staying.
                                                            
                       DAN
Are you leaving?
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I want to, but my stupid boyfriend
Todd doesn’t.
                                                            
                       VICKI
You can go with us when we leave.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Don’t worry about me; I’ll get him
to take me home. I hope.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Well lets just sit here a little
while and see if they come back.
                                                            

116.

Vicki and Dan sit down and Jessica walks back over to her
boyfriend Todd. We now see the popular kids. Tim and Debbie
are in a tent together. Shannon and Mark are in a tent.
Lizzy and Jason are in a tent. Each couple are in their own
tent. Bob, Valerie, Jim, Todd, Jessica, Eric, Jackie,
Ashley, Anna, Jill and Heather are out by the fire. Bob and
Valerie are making out in a chair. Eric is sweet talking
Ashley. Jim and Todd are talking, Jessica is sitting there
not talking with an angry look on her face, Jill, Jackie,
Heather and Anna are all talking around the fire. Jackie is
upset because she doesn't know where Jeff is, Jackie is
afraid Jeff got hurt or left her there.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
I don't know what to do. Maybe
Jeff got hurt and is waiting for
someone to help him or maybe he
left me here and went home. If he
did he's a dead man.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
Maybe he got lost.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
How? As long as you go straight
you'll get to the cars.
                                                            
                       JILL
He's tripping, maybe he found
another party out there.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
No way, he has to be hurt or
something.
                                                            
                       ANNA
He's a big boy, if he got hurt he
could have drug himself back here.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
I'm still worried. Will someone
please come with me to look for
him? I don't want to go by myself,
but I will if I have to.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
I'll go with you, as long as we
have a flashlight.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
Thanks Heather.
                                                            
 

117.

EXT. THE END OF JAYNE AND JOE. - NIGHT
                                                            
Jayne and Joe, are in the woods up against a tree. You can
hear crickets and other woodland creatures. Joe and Jayne
are talking
                                                            
                       JOE
This night started off bad, but
now it’s turned out to be a great
night.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
For me it was great, and then got
bad, and then everything started
looking up again.
                                                            
                       JOE
You don’t know how long I’ve been
waiting for this night.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
This night might have come sooner
if you only would have told me how
you felt.
                                                            
                       JOE
I tried, but I never could build
up the courage to tell you how I
felt. Anyway you loved Bob and you
would have never strayed.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
You're right. Well I'm glad you
finally did anyway.
      (Smiles and gives
       Joe a kiss.)
So what are you planning on doing
after we finish school?
                                                            
                       JOE
I’m still not to sure.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Yeah me too. Well I was thinking,
you know how I love animals?
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Well I was thinking of going to
school to be a vet, but you have
to go for like eight years or
something. So I thought maybe I
            (MORE)

118.

                       JAYNE (cont'd)
could just be a veterinary
assistant.
                                                            
                       JOE
That’s cool. I’m thinking about
becoming a mechanic, but I’m still
not sure.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Whatever you decide I’m sure
you’ll be great.
                                                            
You can faintly hear the sound of a dog whimpering.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Hey did you hear that?
                                                            
                       JOE
Hear what?
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Listen.
      (Pauses, you hear
       the dog again.)
It sounds like a dog crying. Do
you hear it?
                                                            
                       JOE
Yeah now I do, but why would a dog
be out here.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Maybe it’s lost.
                                                            
                       JOE
Or maybe it’s a coyote.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
It sounds like it’s coming from
over there.
                                                            
Jayne and Joe start to walk in the direction of the sound.
                                                            
                       JOE
Are you sure about this Jayne. It
could have rabies or something.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I doubt it. I have to see what’s
wrong.
                                                            

119.

                       JOE
Ok.
                                                            
Jayne and Joe walk closer to the sound holding hands, Joe
has a flashlight. They walk about 50 feet when they stumble
upon a small mixed breed dog. The dog is laying on its side
whimpering. Jayne kneels down by the dog.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
Oh you poor baby. How did you end
up out here? Oh your poor little
leg is bleeding.
                                                            
                       JOE
Maybe he got his foot caught in a
trap.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I hate those things.
                                                            
                       JOE
No one would be hunting out here?
                                                            
Joe hears a sound, it sounds like footsteps.
                                                            
                       JOE
You hear that?
      (Turns around and
       looks.)
                                                            
                       JAYNE
I didn’t hear anything.
                                                            
Jayne turns around to see what Joe is looking at. Jayne
looks around as Joe turns back towards the dog, but the dog
is gone. Ed Kleaver is standing in it's place. Ed grabs Joe
around the neck with his right hand. Ed lifts Joe a few feet
off of the ground. Joe is gasping for air. Ed Kleaver is
taking is left hand and reaching for a weapon behind his
back. Jayne turns around, Jayne begins to SCREAM and punch
Ed.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Yelling.)
Let him go, put him down you
mother fucker. Let him go!!!
                                                            
Joe knows that Ed is going to kill Jayne if Ed gets that
weapon. Joe gathers all the strength he can and punches Ed
across the face. Ed just squeezes harder. Joe gasps.
                                                            
                       JOE
Run.
                                                            

120.

Jayne backs up a few feet and starts to cry.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (crying)
I can’t leave you Joe, I can’t.
                                                            
                       JOE
      (As loud as he can
       gasp.)
Go!
                                                            
Jayne is crying and running as fast as she can towards where
she thinks everyone is. Jayne keeps looking back. After
about the third time Jayne looks back, Jayne sees Ed drop
Joe's lifeless body.
                                                            
                       JAYNE
      (Crying.)
No, no, no.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
I’m coming for you Jayne. You can
run, but you can’t hide.
                                                            
Jayne starts to scream HELP. Then Jayne's lips become sealed
shut. Jayne tries to scream, but only humming sounds come
out. Jayne is crying and running. Jayne looks behind her and
sees nothing. While Jayne is turning her head forward,
Jayne's foot gets snapped in a bear trap. Jayne drops down
and screams as best as she can. Jayne struggles to get the
trap off, but she can't so Jayne gets up and tries to run as
fast as she can on one leg. Jayne keeps looking behind her
to see if Ed is still there, but every time Jayne sees
nothing. As Jayne turns her head forward for the tenth time
Ed is standing in front of Jayne. Jayne's eyes open wide. Ed
takes his pitch fork and shoves it into Jayne's chest. Ed
picks Jayne up with the pitch fork and throws Jayne
backwards through the sky. As Jayne is flying through the
sky, you see Eric looking up at the sky Eric says.
                                                            
                       ERIC
Look it’s a shooting star.
                                                            
Back to Ed Kleaver in the woods. Ed takes his pitch fork and
puts it back behind his back. Ed then hears Jackie faintly
calling Jeff's name.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
I’m coming.

EXT. JACKIE AND HEATHER'S SEARCH FOR JEFF. - NIGHT
                                                            
Jackie and Heather are searching for Jeff in the woods,
Heather has the flashlight and is scanning the woods with
it, shining it back and forth.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
      (Yelling)
Jeff, Jeff. Where are you, Jeff.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
      (Yelling)
Jeff, are you out here? Jeff.
Jeff.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
      (Yelling)
Jeff are you out here honey? Jeff.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
I don’t see him anywhere; I think
he must of left.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
No way. There’s no way he left
with out me, he must be hurt or
something we have to find him.
      (Yells.)
JEFF! Jeff where are you, say
something.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
Come on Jeff, this shit isn't
funny. If we don't find him soon
I'm going back to the party.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
Don’t worry we’ll find him. Jeff!
Jeff!
                                                            
                       JEFF (V.O.)
Jackie I’m over here. I think I
broke my leg. Hurry it really
hurts.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
I’m coming just keep talking so we
can find you.
                                                            

122.

                       JEFF (V.O.)
Ok. I’m really glad you came to
find me. I’ve been waiting for
someone to look for me. I tried to
make it back, but it hurts so bad.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
Keep talking I’m almost there.
                                                            
                       JEFF (V.O.)
Did someone come with you.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
Yeah Heather is here.
                                                            
                       JEFF (V.O.)
Ok, that's good.
                                                            
Jacki walks and sees Jeff's leg, shoulder and arm by a tree,
that Jeff is leaning up against. Jackie and Heather run over
to Jeff. Jeff's leg looks like a Z. Jackie drops down to the
ground by Jeff.
                                                            
                       JEFF
Didn’t anyone hear me yelling for
help?
                                                            
                       JACKIE
Oh my poor baby. You've been out
here suffering just waiting to be
rescued.
      (Kisses Jeff's
       forhead)
                                                            
                       HEATHER
We’re going to have to get help
and I don’t want to go by myself.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
      (Turns her head to
       Heather.)
I can’t leave him here by himself.
                                                            
Heather’s eyes open wide, jaw drops and she starts to
stutter.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
J, J, J, Jackie get away it’s not
Jeff.
                                                            
                       JACKIE
You’re crazy of course it‘s Jeff.
                                                            

123.

Jackie turns her head towards who she thinks is Jeff. When
Jackie looks she sees Ed Kleaver. Jackie screams Ed smiles.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (In Jeff’s voice.)
Hey baby can you kiss it and make
it better.
                                                            
Jackie screams again. Ed puts his hand over Jackie's mouth
and his other hand on the back of her head. Ed breaks
Jackie's neck and turns Jackie's head clean around. Heather
takes off running and screaming back to the party.
                                                            
 
EXT. PARTY POOP-ER. - NIGHT
                                                            
Back at the party Jessica is sitting with Todd with an
unhappy look on her face. Jim and Eric are talking to
Ashley, Anna, and Jill. Bob and Valerie are sitting together
talking. The three couples are still in the tents. Dan and
Vicki are sitting together on a log by the other fire. Right
now we see Bob and Valerie.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
You know what sounds fun?
                                                            
                       BOB
      (With a smile on
       his face.)
I think I know.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
No. We should go into the woods
and see if we can find that house,
where they say that crazy lady and
her crazy son lived.
                                                            
                       BOB
I doubt we’ll find it, but we can
try to find the guys.
                                                            
                       VALERIE
Ok. Lets go.
                                                            
Bob and Valerie get up and run behind the tents and in to
the woods, soon everyone hears Heather screaming, and the
screaming is coming towards them. Everyone looks in that
direction.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I don’t like the sound of that.
                                                            

124.

                       DAN
Me either.
                                                            
Heather comes flying into the circle area screaming her head
off. Heather falls to her knees by her friends. Heather is
balling her eyes out and screaming hysterically.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
They’re dead they’re all dead.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Who's dead?
                                                            
                       HEATHER
      (Talking a million
       miles a minute.)
Jackie and Jeff. We thought it was
Jeff, but it wasn't, it wasn't
him. It looked like him, talked
like him. Jackie thought it was
him. She was by him then all the
sudden it was some horrible
looking man, he wasn't a man at
all really he was more like a
monster and I watched it kill her.
I saw him break her neck. We're
all going to die in these woods.
He's going to kill us all.
                                                            
                       JIM
So who put you up to this Jeff or
Jackie?
                                                            
                       HEATHER
      (Yells.)
I told you they’re dead.
                                                            
                       JIM
Come on this has to be Jeff’s idea
of some sick joke or something.
                                                            
                       HEATHER
      (Yelling.)
This isn't some fucking joke
asshole. They're fucking dead and
we're going to die too.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I think she is telling the truth
guys.
                                                            
Goes over to Dan and Vicki.
                                                            

125.

                       VICKI
This is worse then I thought, he
must be able to screw with your
mind, or something
      (Says sternly.)
We have to get out of these woods
right now.
                                                            
                       DAN
I’m not going to argue. Lets get
out of here.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan run off into the woods towards the cars. Goes
back to the other kids. Heather is sitting on the ground
rocking back and fourth faintly crying and mumbling. Jessica
is trying to comfort Heather.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
      (Looks at Todd)
Todd maybe we should leave now.
                                                            
Todd waves for her to come close. He whispers to her.
                                                            
                       TODD
We’re going to be leaving soon
enough.
                                                            
Jessica and Todd start whispering back and forth.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I think we should all leave now.
                                                            
                       TODD
Don’t tell me you believe that
story she just told. It’s probably
just the ‘shrooms she ate.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I do believe it. How could she
come up with a story like that.
                                                            
                       TODD
All I know is that it is the
craziest story I've ever heard.
It's just those mushrooms she ate,
she's having a bad trip.
                                                            
Just then Jackie walks into the circle. Heather looks up and
sees Jackie. Heather gets up and slowly starts walking
backwards and stumbling.
                                                            

126.

                       HEATHER
      (Terrified)
That's not her, she's dead, it's
not her, she's dead, don't believe
anything it says, it's the
monster.
                                                            
Everyone starts laughing, except Jessica and Heather.
                                                            
                       TODD
See Jess I told you it was all a
joke.
                                                            
                       JIM
Yeah like the best joke ever.
                                                            
                       ANNA
Good one guys.
                                                            
                       JESSICA
Do you guys see Heather laughing?
                                                            
                       ERIC
Do you see Jackie?
                                                            
                       JESSICA
I’m gone.
                                                            
Jessica runs off into the woods. Ashley runs up to Jackie.
                                                            
                       ASHLEY
We were worried about you. Heather
was saying you were dead.
                                                            
Jackie just stares at Ashley. Heather keeps mumbling.
                                                            
                       ASHLEY
Are you alright?
                                                            
Ashley gets closer to Jackie. Just then Jackie reaches
behind her back and pulls out a reaper and takes off
Ashley's head. Everyone starts screaming, Jackie turns into
Ed Kleaver who has started to look more human then like a
corpse and has gotten stronger after every kill. They all
start running towards the woods. Ed lifts his arms and
throws them down as he does this the circle is surrounded by
fire. There is no way out. You now see Debbie and Tim in the
tent lying together in a sleeping bag. Instead of them
hearing screaming, they hear laughter.
                                                            
                       DEBBIE
It sounds like they are having a
lot of fun.
                                                            

127.

                       TIM
Not as much fun as us.
      (Kisses Debbie.)
                                                            
Back out to the party, everyone is running in circles
screaming. Jim is hiding behind the tent Lizzy and Jason are
in. Jim is shaking like a leaf and making a deal with God.
                                                            
                       JIM
Please God if you get me out of
here I'll go to church I'll do
anything.
                                                            
Ed Kleaver is standing in the middle of the circle.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (Yells)
No where to run, no where to hide.
                                                            
Ed lifts his arms and throws them down as he does this two
large trees fall onto the tent where Lizzy, Jason and Jim
are. Killing all three of them. Heather is standing still
just looking at Ed. Heather can't move she is in shock and
has no idea what to do. Ed grabs his large cleaver throws it
directly in to Heather's heart and tacks her up against a
tree. Anna is on the far left and Jill on the far right
side. Ed reaches his arms out and grabs Anna and Jill, Ed
slams their heads together. There is two heads are now one.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Two heads are better then one.
                                                            
Ed looks around and sees the pile of fire wood. Ed lifts his
hands. Three logs fly up into the air Ed looks and seeks his
target, Ed locks on Eric. Ed with his mind throws the first
log and hits Eric right in between the legs. Eric falls to
his knees; Ed throws the next log hits Eric right in the
chest and knocks the wind out of him and onto his back.Ed
takes the final log throws it high into the air and smashes
it down in to Eric's face which is now deep into the ground.
All you see is blood and a body with a log for a head. There
is only one teen left Todd. Ed grabs Todd and holds him
down, Todd is fighting for his life, but his fight is
nothing compared to the fight of Ed Kleaver. Todd is
screaming and Ed just laughs. Todd knows what Ed plans on
doing. So Todd tightly closes his lips and shakes his head
furiously back and forth. Ed grabs Todd's nose until he
opens his mouth. Ed grabs the beer bong and shows it down
Todd's throat. Ed has the keg fly over and has it floating
above Todd's head, with his mind Ed bust the bottom of the
keg open, Ed lets the beer flow.
                                                            

128.

                       ED KLEAVER
      (Yelling)
Drink, drink, drink, drink.
                                                            
Ed is still holding Todd's nose. Soon Todd can no longer
breathe and he is forced to breathe in the beer which causes
Todd to drown. Now Ed is moving to the couples in the tents.
Ed looks around for his next weapon. Ed takes the keg Ed
lifts it and goes over to the tent where Shannon and Mark
are Ed takes the keg and smashes it down on them repeatedly
until the tent is covered with blood.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Two down, two to go.
                                                            
Ed walks over to the tent with Debbie and Tim. Ed slices it
down the middle and stick his head in.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Boo!
                                                            
Debbie and Tim scream they unzip the tent and come out
running in only their under clothes, at that moment they
know there is no hope. Debbie and Tim are trapped they look
around, but they have no where to go. Ed lifts his arms and
vines come down from the trees. The vines wrap around Debbie
and Tim's necks and pull them into the air. Debbie and Tim
are hanging, they are suffocating. Once Debbie and Tim are
dead Ed lifts his arms and slams them down and doing this
puts out the fire. Moments later Valerie and Bob walk into
the circle. Bob ans Valerie see the horrible looking monster
standing in the middle of the circle. Bob and Valerie see
their dead friends in pieces and Tim and Debbie hanging.
Valerie drops her flashlight and screams at the top of her
lungs. Ed Kleaver looks over at Valerie, Bob's jaw drops.
                                                            
                       BOB
Oh shit! RUN!!!!
                                                            
Bob and Valerie take off running into the woods, in the
opposite direction of the cars. Ed Kleaver goes off after
them. Bob says to Valerie as they are running for their
lives.
                                                            
                       BOB
She was right, we’re all dead.
Feet don’t fail me now.
                                                            
As Bob and Valerie are running Bob keeps looking over to his
right to see Valerie running beside him. As Bob is looking
over for the fourth or fifth time Valerie suddenly drops, a
knife stuck in her back. Bob starts running even faster. Bob
keeps looking behind his back, making sure he is still in

129.

the lead. Bob keeps on running for a few minutes, until he
feels that he has out run Ed. Bob stops to take a breather
Bob leans against a tree. Bob is sweating and breathing
heavily. Bob begins to talk to himself.
                                                            
                       BOB
I think I beat him. I just need to
take a break then I have to find a
way out to the car. That ugly
bastard has nothing on me.
                                                            
Once Bob starts breathing a little slower he starts to run
again. No matter what Bob has said he is still in fear. Bob
keeps looking over his shoulder. While Bob is looking behind
him for the second or third time he runs it something and
falls down. Bob thinks he just ran into a tree, but when he
looks up his eyes open wide and his jaw drops in disbelief.
Bob sees Ed Kleaver.
                                                            
                       BOB
What the Hell?
                                                            
Before Bob can get up and run Ed Kleaver grabs Bob by his
hair. Bob is fighting, but his strength is no match. Ed is
basically carrying Bob around by his hair. Ed looks around
and sees a tree a few feet in front of him with a branch
coming off of it. The branch is about one inch around and
ten inches long. Ed drags Bob closer to the tree. Bob is
kicking and screaming pleading for his life saying.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Crying)
Please don't kill me; please don't
kill me, please.
                                                            
Bob and Ed keep getting closer to the branch. Bob's eye is
lined up with the branch; Ed slowly keeps moving Bob closer
making Bob suffer knowing what's coming. Bob is about a
foot away from the tree; Bob grabs the tree and pushes away.
Bob fights and fights and pushes against the tree until his
arms break. Bob screams in agony, Bob's eye is now only a
few inches away.
                                                            
                       BOB
      (Screaming.)
NO! NO!
      (SCREAMS!)
NO DON’T NO DON’T PLEASE NO!
                                                            
But Ed doesn't quit he only laughs Ed keeps getting Bon even
closer and Bob keeps screaming. The sharp part slowly goes
in to Bob's eye. Bob screams in pain, but Ed shows no mercy
and keeps slowly pushing it into Bob's eye. After the branch

130.

is about an inch in to Bob's eye Ed takes Bob's head and
slams it in to the tree. Making the point of the branch exit
the back of Bob's head. Bob's body hangs there lifeless. Now
that Ed is done with Bob he is ready for the rest of his
prey. Ed runs off into the woods.
                                                            
 
EXT. NOW FOR THE REST. - NIGHT
                                                            
We now see Molly standing in the woods all alone. Molly has
heard so many screams Molly is panicking. Molly has no idea
where she is, she is all alone and has never been this
scared in her life. Molly starts to look in every direction
only to see trees that seem endless. Now Molly is really
starting to panic Molly starts to talk to herself.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Come on Molly pull yourself
together. I wish I had a
flashlight, I wish I would have
waited for Vicki and Dan. Now I'm
fucking lost and all alone.
      (Starts to walk.)
I have to keep it together. I just
have to stay positive. I'm going
to make it out of here alive.
                                                            
Molly hears the sound of tree limbs breaking above her head.
Molly looks up and sees nothing and keeps on walking. Molly
only walks a few steps when suddenly a body falls right in
front of Molly's feet. It's Jayne's body. Molly screams a
blood curdling scream and takes off running and runs right
into a bunch of spider webs. Molly starts wailing her hands
around the typical human reaction. Molly then sees spiders
crawling on her and screams again. Molly keeps on running.
Now we see Vicki and Dan who are also in the woods, they
have a flashlight. Vicki stops.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Did you hear that?
      (Pause.)
That was defiantly Molly.
                                                            
                       DAN
      (He points)
It sounded like it came from that
direction.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I hope she is ok. Just run,
whatever you do don’t yell for
her. He’ll just hear us.
                                                            

131.

Vicki and Dan run towards the scream. After running for a
few minutes Vicki and Dan run right in to Molly, Molly
screams. Molly is freaking out and is about to loose it.
                                                            
                       VICKI
It’s really you right?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Of course it’s me.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Answer this question, just so I
can be sure. Who did you have a
crush on in elementary school?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Why are you asking me this?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Sternly)
Just answer it.
                                                            
Vicki concentrates on the wrong answer.
                                                            
                       VICKI (V.O.)
Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Mr. Allen our fourth grade
teacher.
                                                            
                       VICKI
It's really you. .
      (Gives Molly a
       quick hug.)
Now we better get the hell out of
here as fast as we can.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I don’t know if were getting out
of here.
                                                            
                       DAN
Don’t say that.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
If you saw what I did you'd be
freaking out too. Jayne's dead
body fell from the trees right in
front of my damn feet. She looked
so bad
      (Starts to cry.)
We're probably the only ones still
            (MORE)

132.

                       MOLLY (cont'd)
alive.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Dan do you know what way we should
go to get out of here?
                                                            
                       DAN
Let me think, in boy scouts we had
to learn directions by the stars.
      (Pause.)
Ok we came in the east end of the
woods walking west. We'll want to
travel east.
      (Looks up and
       points.)
There is the big dipper so that's
north. There is Orion and there is
his armpit so that's east. Ok we
want to travel this way.
      (Points to the
       east.)
                                                            
                       VICKI
Everyone just run as fast as your
feet will carry you.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly start to run, but Vicki is still in her
long dress and is getting nowhere fast.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Stop for one second.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly stop, Vicki grabs the bottom of her
dress by the seam and pulls and pulls, but Vicki can't get
it to rip.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Dan rip off the bottom of my
dress.
                                                            
Dan smiles trying to bring some light into such a dark
situation.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don’t get any ideas.
                                                            
Dan grabs the bottom of Vicki's dress and rips it up a
little past her knee.
                                                            
                       DAN
Both sides?
                                                            

133.

                       VICKI
Yeah.
                                                            
Dan rips the other side too.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Lets run.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly all take off running. Dan, Vicki and
Molly are not looking at where they are going they're only
looking forward running for their lives. You see them
running forward when Vicki just falls. Molly and Dan stop
and turn around. Vicki has tripped over her brother Joe's
dead body. Vicki begins to cry hysterically. Vicki is
holding Joe's lifeless body in her arms. Vicki is holding
Joe like a baby up to her chest rocking back and fourth.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Crying)
No, no, no, no, no, no, not you
Joe not you. No, no, no, no. Why,
why, God why? Joey you can’t be
dead you can’t be.
                                                            
Vicki quits talking and cries and holds Joe close rocking
back and fourth. Molly and Dan are standing by Vicki. Molly
is crying Molly drops down by Vicki and puts her arm around
Vicki. Dan has tears swelling in his eyes, but more then
anything Dan can't believe what he is seeing. Vicki begins
whaling loudly again saying.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No, no, no.
                                                            
Dan drops to Vicki's side Dan firmly, but gently says to
Vicki.
                                                            
                       DAN
Vicki you have to be strong, you
have to get out of here, you have
to survive this.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Crying.)
I can’t, I can’t leave him here.
He’s my brother. It’s like part of
me is dead.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Crying)
He’s right we have to get out of
here.
                                                            

134.

Vicki just cries and shakes her head no. Dan grabs the top
of Vicki's arm and sternly says.
                                                            
                       DAN
Vicki there is nothing you can do
for him now. Don't you think he
would want you to get out of here
alive? You know he would. Would
your parents want to loose both of
their kids? The longer we sit here
the closer we are to death. I know
you want to grieve, but we have to
go. Right now we're sitting ducks.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
He’s right Vicki. If we want to
live we got to keep moving.
                                                            
Vicki wipes her eyes.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Ok.
      (Whispers to Joe.)
I'll see you again, one day.
                                                            
Vicki kisses Joe on the forehead as the tears roll down her
cheeks. As Vicki kisses Joe goodbye forever. Joe's hand
reaches up and grabs Vicki's arm and Joe's eyes open wide.
Vicki knows that her brother was dead and there is no way it
is Joe. Vicki, Dan and Molly all scream at the top of their
lungs. Vicki gets up and tries to get away, but she can't.
Vicki is standing up trying to pull herself away.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Let go of me, you’re not my
brother you bastard. Let me go.
                                                            
Molly and Dan get behind Vicki and pull, but Vicki is still
stuck. Joe transforms in to Ed Kleaver.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
You know I saved the best for
last.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Fuck you, you killed my brother
and my friends you’re sure as hell
not going to kill me. I know all
about you, you bastard.
                                                            

135.

                       ED KLEAVER
Not as well as I know all of you.
Like you Daniel. You were just
nine years old when your brother
was killed in Vietnam. He was your
brother as well as your cousin.
Your father went out of town so he
asked his brother to keep an eye
on your mother. He put more then
an eye on her. You know what they
say when daddy's away mommy will
play. So she convinced your dad
that Kevin was his, but your
mother and uncle knew better. Why
do you think your uncle was so
devastated by your brother's
death?
      (Pause)
Hey Vicki you remember that summer
when your family told everyone you
were at your aunt's house out of
town. When you were really locked
up in the Loony bin. Are you still
dealing with those suicidal
thoughts? Speaking of suicidal
thoughts. How about you Molly you
remember Uncle Peter more like
uncle pedophile. You always tried
to hide when you saw his car pull
up the driveway. Then when you
were twelve years old he got very
sick, but you made sure he never
got better. You just took that
pillow and pushed it on his face.
You hadn't felt so good in years.
You knew that no one would ever
think a little girl would do that
and he was sick anyway. Isn't it
great taking the life out of
somebody?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Yelling)
Shut up just shut the hell up.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Why don’t you just kill us now?
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Because the hunt is the best part.
I can see, smell, and taste the
fear. You are the frighten mice in
my cage and I'm the cat watching
your every move, waiting to
            (MORE)

136.

                       ED KLEAVER (cont'd)
pounce.
                                                            
Ed disappears and Joe's body is once again lifeless and
Vicki, Dan and Molly fall to the ground. Ed's evil laugh
echoes through the woods.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Yells.)
That was fucking freaky, lets just
get the hell out of here.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly get up and start to run as fast as they
can. You hear Ed's voice echo through the woods.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER (V.O.)
Run, run as fast as you can, but
I’ll get you I’m worse then the
boogie man!
                                                            
Just then loud burst of thunder roll across the sky and a
flash of lightening brightens the dark sky. When it flashes
Dan, Vicki and Molly see someone standing 20 feet away. Then
the figure disappear with the next strike of lightening. The
sky then opens up and it starts to pour down rain as the
thunder rolls and the lightening strikes.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Could anything worse happen?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Don’t even say that.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly are running as fast as they possibly
can, trying to make their way through the trees and the
rain. After running for awhile Dan, Vicki and Molly slow
down and start to walk.
                                                            
                       DAN
I don’t understand we should have
gotten to the field by now.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Don’t you see he is toying with
us. He wants us to loose it.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We just have to keep on going.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly keep walking through the rain and
trees. All at once the three friends feel things falling on
them. Molly looks down at her feet. We don't know what she
is looking at, she just starts to jump around and screaming.

137.

Vicki and Dan look down and see snakes all around their
feet. Vicki, Dan and Molly take off running, but the snakes
are everywhere they go.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Closes her eyes
       and starts to
       yell.)
There's nothing there. There's
nothing there. Guys there's
nothing there. Say it with me.
                                                            
Dan and Molly also close their eyes and say "There's nothing
there, there's nothing there. There's nothing there." Vicki
slowly opens her eyes and looks down, the snakes have
disappeared.
                                                            
                       VICKI
It worked, thank God!
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I don’t like this at all.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We have to keep on fighting him we
can’t let him screw with our
heads.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly quickly keep walking. Molly can't help,
but look around. Molly looks to her left and sees evil, red
cat like eyes looking right at her. Molly looks to the right
and sees them again. Molly doesn't freak out; she doesn't
even say a word. Molly just closes her eyes and whispers.
Molly's P.O.V. screen is black only hearing her whispering.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
There’s nothing there, nothing
there, nothing there.
                                                            
Molly builds up some courage and opens her eyes. Right in
front of Molly's face are the most evil red glowing eyes.
Molly screams lightening flashes and we see the person who
belongs to those eyes. It's the Ed Kleaver and as the
lightening strikes again Ed is gone. After seeing this Molly
starts to run, Dan and Vicki run after Molly. Dan and Vicki
are trying to keep Molly in their sights. When Dan and Vicki
have almost caught up to Molly she falls into the ground.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Molly, Molly where are you? Say
something.
                                                            

138.

                       MOLLY
I’m down here.
                                                            
Vicki shines the flashlight at the ground. Dan and Vicki see
Molly in a hole about seven feet deep.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Are you alright?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
I think I might have sprained my
ankle.
                                                            
                       DAN
Just hold on we’ll get you out of
there.
                                                            
Dan looks around for maybe a long tree limb lying on the
forest floor, but sees nothing. Dan then gets an idea.
                                                            
                       DAN
Vicki give me your jacket.
                                                            
Vicki takes her bottle out of the pocket and hands Dan her
jacket. Dan then takes off his jacket. Dan ties the arms
tightly together.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Screams)
Please hurry up, there are rats in
here.
                                                            
                       DAN
Just one second.
      (Turns to Vicki.)
Ok this is the plan. I’ll throw
her the jackets. I’ll pull and you
get behind me and pull me. You got
it?
                                                            
                       VICKI
Yeah lets do this.
                                                            
Dan gets down on the ground. Dan put his foot against a
tree; Vicki sits behind Dan with her arms around Dan's chest
and her foot on another tree. Dan tosses the jacket to
Molly.
                                                            
                       DAN
Grab it and hold on tight. Do you
have a hold of it?
                                                            

139.

                       MOLLY
      (Yells up)
Yeah.
                                                            
Dan and Vicki pull and pull the jackets through their hands,
until Dan can get a hold of Molly's hand. Dan and Vicki get
Molly out of hole she almost thought could be her grave.
Molly is covered in mud. Dan, Vicki and Molly take a short
breather.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Thank you.
                                                            
                       DAN
No problem.
                                                            
                       VICKI
How’s your ankle?
                                                            
                       MOLLY
It hurts like a bitch, but I’ll
deal with it.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We better keep moving.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan get up and untie their jackets and put them
back on. Vicki puts her bottle back in her pocket. Vicki
helps Molly up. Dan, Vicki and Molly start walking again,
Molly with a limp.
                                                            
 
EXT. MESSING WITH THE MIND. - NIGHT
                                                            
As Dan, Vicki and Molly walk they stumble in to the circle
by the tents where they were having the party. They can't
believe the utter carnage that they are seeing. Molly throws
up.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Oh my God. How could anyone do
this?
                                                            
                       DAN
I have no idea.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
We have to get out of here.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly step over the dead bodies lying
everywhere. Dan, Vicki and Molly reach the center. The
bodies start to twitch and move.
                                                            

140.

                       MOLLY
This can’t be good.
                                                            
The bodies start to stand up.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Did someone think about zombie?
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly are surrounded. Dan grabs a folding
chair.
                                                            
                       DAN
I'd grab a chair if I were you.
                                                            
Vicki and Molly pick up chairs. The zombies are almost to
the three friends, they are all standing back to back.
                                                            
                       DAN
Get ready to start swinging and
running. On the count of three.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
This isn’t right.
                                                            
                       DAN
Ready 1- 2 - 3.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly start swinging until they get an
opening to get out; once they do they run into the trees
towards the field where the cars are. Dan, Vicki and Molly
keep the chairs.
                                                            
                       DAN
If we keep going this way we
should hit the field in no time.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Vicki are you sure that once we
get to the field we will be safe?
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’m pretty sure.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly hear a voice faintly, but it slowly
gets louder.
                                                            
                       KEVIN'S GHOST
Danny, Danny is that you?
                                                            
Dan starts to look around and sees a dark figure standing
about ten feet away by a tree. It starts to get closer; Dan
lifts up his chair ready to swing.
                                                            

141.

                       DAN
Don’t come one step closer, I’m
warning you.
                                                            
The figure is walking slowly towards Dan.
                                                            
                       KEVIN'S GHOST
What Danny has it been that long?
Don't tell me you don't remember
me?
      (Pause.)
Come on it's me, Kevin, your
brother.
                                                            
Kevin is still a dark figure that keeps getting closer
                                                            
                       DAN
My brother is dead he died nine
years ago in the war.
                                                            
                       KEVIN'S GHOST
Come on Dan-o it’s me.
                                                            
Lightening flashes and you see a man in army fatigue Kevin
has only one arm. Kevin is bloody and riddled with holes.
Kevin is decaying with his skull showing, he's very creepy.
                                                            
                       VICKI
It’s not you Brother Dan.
                                                            
                       KEVIN'S GHOST
      (Gets closer to
       Dan.)
What no hug?
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly jump back. Kevin laughs and disappears.
Now your hear the voice of an older man. Coming from another
direction.
                                                            
                       UNCLE PETE'S GHOST (V.O.)
Molly come out, come out, where
ever you are. Molly come out and
Give Uncle Peter a kiss.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Starts to freak
       out and yells.)
You're not real I killed you, you
bastard. You're fucking dead, I
killed you. You're not real,
you're not real.
                                                            

142.

                       VICKI
He is trying to break us down,
there’s no one there.
                                                            
Another voice starts to come through.
                                                            
                       JOE (V.O.)
Damn it Vicki. I guess our friend
is more important then me huh? I
can't believe you didn't try to
save me. You were to busy letting
Dan feel you up. You are such a
slut. Why didn't you try to save
me?
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Closes her eyes.)
You’re not real, you’re not Joe.
You’re not real.
                                                            
                       JOE (V.O.)
I asked you a question Vicki and I
want an answer.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells)
You're not real! Joe's dead!
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly are all standing in the same place,
chairs held high. The rain has slowed down, everything is
quiet. Only the sounds of the forest can be heard. The three
are all breathing heavy; they slowly start to lower their
chairs. It's still quiet. Suddenly appears behind the three
teens.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (Yells.)
BOO!
                                                            
Dan Vicki and Molly jump, scream and take off running. Ed
grabs the back of Vicki's jacket and pulls Vicki back to
him. Ed is holding Vicki tightly and before Vicki can scream
Ed puts his hand over Vicki's mouth. For a second or two Dan
and Molly don't even realize Vicki isn't there.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (Whispers in
       Vicki's ear.)
I'm going to kill you so very
slowly.
                                                            

143.

Dan runs back to Vicki's rescue, Molly stops she knows she
won't be much help with her ankle sprained anyway. Vicki
starts kicking Ed in the legs and kicking her feet, keeping
them off the ground. It makes it harder for Ed to hold on to
Vicki. Dan starts beating Ed with the chair. Ed finally
drops Vicki and then punches Dan making Dan fly into a tree.
Vicki runs to Dan.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Are you ok?
                                                            
                       DAN
      (Holding is back.)
I’ll be fine.
                                                            
Vicki and Dan look back and Ed is gone. Molly limps over to
her friends.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER (V.O.)
I’ll be back.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Why does he do that?
                                                            
                       VICKI
It's how he gets his kicks I
guess.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly are sitting by the tree. Vicki leans
in.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Whispering)
I have a plan. He wants to kill us
all, but he really wants me. I'll
draw him in and when I do I'll
keep him busy. Molly take this
whiskey, set it on fire and throw
it at him. Dan you beat on him and
I'll try to get one of his
weapons. This is how I see it. He
controls everything we hear and
see. Kind of like this is his own
twilight zone. I don't think we
can kill him, but we might be able
to slow him down and give us
sometime to get away.
      (Rips a piece of
       her dress off and
       hands it to
       Molly.)
Soak that. You have a lighter?
                                                            

144.

                       MOLLY
Yeah.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Whispers to Dan
       and Molly)
You got it?
                                                            
Dan and Molly shake their heads yes.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Whispers)
Ok, now forget it don't, think
about it. Let's get moving.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly stand up and start running as fast as
Molly can go. As Dan, Vicki and Molly are running they run
into Mike alive and well. Molly grabs Mike and holds him.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Holding Mike in a
       long hug.)
I thought you were a goner. I'm so
happy to see you.
                                                            
                       DAN
I don’t think it’s Mike.
                                                            
Molly lets go of Mike and looks at Mike again. This time
Molly sees the holes in Mike's face caused by the baseball
bat. Blood is pouring out these holes. Molly pushes Mike
away and screams. Mike transforms in to Ed Kleaver.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (In Mike's Voice.)
What no kiss.
      (Laughs an evil
       laugh.)
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly take off running again. Ed shoots his
"Pizza Cutter Weapon." It slices Vicki's upper arm, nothing
serious just a flesh wound. Vicki grabs her arm and keeps on
running.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Got ya where I want you, now I’m
gonna to kill you.
                                                            
Vicki stops running and yells to Ed.
                                                            

145.

                       VICKI
      (Yelling.)
You son of a bitch! Why don't you
just kill me now? You're never
going to let us get out of here.
I'm not going to give you the
pleasure of scaring me and hunting
me down, like I'm some kind of
animal. So come and get me Mother
Fucker.
                                                            
Dan and Molly stop.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
What are you doing?
                                                            
                       VICKI
He’s not going to let us go, I
give up.
      (Yells)
Come on and kill me you son of a
bitch.
                                                            
                       DAN
Don’t do this Vicki we still have
a chance.
                                                            
                       VICKI
No we don't. Don't you see we have
no power over anything we do, he
controls everything! You guys go,
but I'm not wasting anymore time.
                                                            
                       DAN
I’m not leaving you behind.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Me either.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Winks at Dan and
       Molly, then
       yells.)
GO! Save yourself. I said GO get
the hell out of here NOW!
                                                            
 
EXT. THE FINAL FIGHT. - NIGHT
                                                            
Dan and Molly run off. Vicki stands alone.
                                                            

146.

                       VICKI
Come on and get me! Come out; come
out where ever you are.
                                                            
Just then Vicki gets thrown against a tree. Ed gets a hold
of Vicki's wrists and holds her against the tree. Ed puts
his face against Vicki's.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
I didn’t think you were ever going
to give up, but hell I don’t care.
I haven’t had this much fun in
years.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I just have one question. If you
kill everyone who comes in to the
woods, then why didn’t you kill
Tim or Bob the first time they
came in here?
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
You know I was just about to
attack, when I heard them saying.
They hoped they could find a good
place to party. So I let them go
and lead you all to your deaths.
You think that circle was here? I
created it, I knew they'd bring
you all here. And for a while you
even thought it was just a legend.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I guess you proved me wrong.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
I could have just stormed in there
and killed you all at once, but
where is the fun in that. And I
wasn't strong enough and some of
you kids could have got away and
how would that be fun?
                                                            
                       VICKI
You are one sick fuck!
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
      (Leans in closer.)
You have no idea!
                                                            
Ed licks the side of Vicki's face.
                                                            

147.

                       ED KLEAVER
The fear tastes so good. You act
all tough, but inside you are
shaking like a leaf.
                                                            
Ed takes one of his arms down and holds Vicki up with one
hand. Ed reaches down and grabs his knife. Ed puts it to
Vicki's face.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Now where should I cut you first?
Decisions, decisions. I know.
                                                            
Ed takes the knife and slices Vicki by her ribs, Vicki
screams then spits in Ed's face.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
Where next?
                                                            
Ed has the knife by Vicki's stomach, right before Ed slices
he is hit by the flaming bottle of whiskey. Ed lets Vicki go
and turns around. Vicki grabs Ed's baseball bat and hits Ed
right in the back. Ed turns to Vicki.
                                                            
                       ED KLEAVER
You're dead bitch.
                                                            
Dan comes out of no where and starts beating on Ed with a
folding chair. Vicki throws Molly the bat and grabs Ed's
pitch fork and reaper. Vicki throws Dan the pitch fork. Dan,
Vicki and Molly are all beating on Ed now, Ed just laughs.
Molly swings and hits Ed in the back of the knees. Ed falls
to the ground. Molly swings again and hits Ed in the back of
the head.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That one is for Mike.
                                                            
                       VICKI
This one is for Jayne.
                                                            
Vicki swings the reaper and takes off Ed's right arm. Dan
keeps stabbing Ed in the torso with the pitch fork.
                                                            
                       VICKI
This is for Mike.
                                                            
Vicki swings and takes off Ed's left arm. Dan is still
stabbing Ed in the torso repeatedly.
                                                            
                       VICKI
And this is for Joe!
                                                            

148.

Vicki swings the reaper and chops off Ed's head, it rolls
across the forest floor.
                                                            
                       DAN
Let’s get moving while he is down.
                                                            
Vicki, Dan and Molly keep the weapons. Vicki throws her arm
around Molly so they can run faster and run they do. Vicki,
Dan and Molly don't look back they just keep running. Dan,
Vicki and Molly zig-zag through the trees, they can finally
see the field.
                                                            
                       VICKI
We are almost there, only a few
more feet.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly see a the cleaver fly past their heads
and hit a tree. Dan, Vicki and Molly are almost out of the
woods when they get caught up in some mud that is almost
like quick sand. Dan, Vicki and Molly are fighting for every
step they take. Vicki looks back and sees Ed running towards
them.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells.)
Come on, he’s coming. We didn’t
get this far to die.
                                                            
Dan gets out, throws the pitch fork into the field and
reaches for Vicki, Ed Kleaver is only about six feet away.
Vicki gets Dan's hand and Dan pulls Vicki out. Dan and Vicki
are reaching out for Molly, she's almost there. Molly drops
the bat into the mud. Dan and Vicki each get a hold of
Molly's hands and pull; Ed leaps and gets a hold of Molly's
foot. Vicki and Dan are playing tug a war with Molly. Molly
is almost out; she takes her good leg and starts kicking Ed
in the head as hard as she can. Ed finally looses his grip.
Vicki and Dan get Molly out, Dan, Vicki and Molly fall down
into the field. Dan, Vicki and Molly are only a few feet
away from the cars. Vicki drops the reaper on the ground.
Dan, Vicki and Molly are so happy they start to yell.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
      (Yelling for joy.)
We made it! Oh my God we made it!
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yelling.)
We beat you, we beat you mother
fucker!
                                                            

149.

                       DAN
I can't believe we did it, I can't
believe we're alive!
                                                            
Vicki grabs Dan and pulls Dan close Vicki and Dan kiss.
                                                            
                       VICKI
I’m so happy I got the chance to
do that.
                                                            
                       DAN
Me too.
                                                            
Dan kisses Vicki again.
                                                            
THE SUN IS STARTING TO RISE.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
Lets get the hell out of here. I
never want to see these woods
again.
                                                            
Vicki picks up the reaper; Vicki, Dan and Molly start to go
towards Dan's truck. They hear a Jessica screaming for HELP.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
That sounds like Jessica, I can't
believe she's still alive.
                                                            
                       VICKI
      (Yells.)
Jessica run this way, once you’re
out of the woods you’ll be safe.
                                                            
Dan, Vicki and Molly faintly see Jessica running towards
them. Jessica gets closer and closer. Dan, Vicki and Molly
form a chain Dan in the front, Vicki in the middle Molly is
in the back and reach into the woods for Jessica.
                                                            
                       VICKI
Your almost there.
                                                            
Jessica is almost there her finger tips are touching Dan's.
Suddenly Ed flies by and chops Jessica's body in two. Dan,
Vicki and Molly all fall to the ground disappointed that
they were so close to saving Jessica.
                                                            
                       DAN
Come on, let's go home.
                                                            
                       MOLLY
We can't just go home, we have to
go to the police or something.
                                                            

150.

                       VICKI
      (Staring in to the
       woods.)
It's never going to stop.
                                                            
Vicki picks up the reaper for evidence Vicki looks at it and
sees E.S.K. carved into the blade. Dan puts his arm around
Vicki and Molly, Dan and Vicki walk to the truck. Dan opens
the driver's side door.
                                                            
                       DAN
Let's get the hell out of here.
                                                            
Vicki get in the truck and sits in the middle. Molly gets in
from the passenger side door. Dan gets in the truck, shuts
the door and turns the key and drives through the field.

Feels a little rushed. And what really got me feeling rushed was the VERY beginning. Give your reader a chance to get a sense of their regular lives before the flashbacks. A prologued scene can really help from the rushness. But I like the fear aspect in your story. Read other screenplays, keep practicing, and keep writing! :) Good luck!

From William Schenkel Date 8/17/2006 ****
wow

From Cody Date 8/14/2006 ***
This is pretty good. The only problem I see is that the dialogue seems forced. But good work. Keep it up.
