Crimson Moon 3 script (Part 1) By Aragorn
CRIMSON MOON 3
Written by Jeff Long and Cody Hammen We don't fade in right away. In the darkness we hear a pack of wolves howl.
FADE IN ON:
EXT. LAKE - NIGHT
We look out at the calm surface of a lake. There's a full moon in the sky and it reflects off the water.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE WOODS - NIGHT
A tent has been set up in a clearing and a campfire is smoldering in front of it.
CUT TO:
INT. THE TENT
A young couple, early to mid 20s, are laying in the tent, making out.
We hear the sound of a wolf howling in the woods and the couple stop making out, the girl, TERA, pulling away from the guy, PHILLIP.
TERA Was that a wolf?
PHILLIP Yeah.
TERA You don't think it'll come around here, do you?
PHILLIP Nah.
Phillip leans in to kiss her again, but at the same time there's a rustling sound outside the tent and Tera turns her head away.
TERA Phillip, I'm still feeling a little uneasy about being out here.
PHILLIP Come on, don't tell me that old guy's ‘monster-in-the-woods’ talk is getting to you. He was crazy. And drunk, from the smell of it.
TERA It's just that we're pretty close to that place he was talking about.
PHILLIP We're halfway around the lake from it! We’re a…
Phillip kisses her.
PHILLIP ...long...
Another kiss.
PHILLIP ...long…way away.
They kiss again and Tera starts to relax back into "the mood".
PHILLIP There's nothing out in these woods but you, me and the harmless animals.
TERA Alright. Just as long as you can keep my mind off all that other stuff, we should be fine.
PHILLIP I can do that.
Phillip sits up to take his shirt off.
As soon as he gets the shirt off, a clawed hand comes ripping through the side of the tent and smashes through Phillip's head, going in the back and out the front.
Tera screams as blood splashes across her face.
The clawed hand withdraws from Phillip's head and his body slumps over. The hand is then pulled back through the rip in the tent.
Tera rushes over to the tent flap and begins unzipping it.
Two clawed hands reaches in through the rip in the side of the tent and rips the side of the tent open even more, revealing-
Tera gets the tent flap unzipped.
The hands reach for her, but it's too late. She's crawling out of the tent.
EXT. THE TENT - NIGHT
Tera crawls out of the tent, hurries to her feet and starts running into the woods.
The creature, covered in darkness, stands up and watches her run. It begins to follow her, blood-dripping from one of its hands. It begins to shrink and change shapes.
EXT. THE WOODS - NIGHT
Tera runs through the woods, screaming, crying, falling, Getting back up, continuing to run.
Elsewhere in the woods, the trees and bushes are rustling as something big and fast runs through them.
EXT. A DIRT PATH - NIGHT
Tera bursts out of the woods and onto a dirt path that runs through the middle of the woods. A few yards to her left is the car she and Phillip came in on, pulled off the side of the road.
She hurries over to the car, going to the driver's door.
She stops at the door, realizing something-
TERA Oh, God. The keys...
INT. THE TENT
The keys are attached to a belt loop on the jeans worn by Phillip's dead body.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE DIRT PATH - NIGHT
Tera lays her head on the roof of the car, sobbing.
The leaves on the low-hanging limb of a nearby tree shake.
Tera looks up at the tree.
TERA'S P.O.V. - We can't see anything in the woods.
A wolf howls nearby.
Tera turns around, leaning her back against the car, trying to locate where the howl came from.
Suddenly a large dark shape enters the frame from the left side, slamming into Tera, knocking her down.
CUT TO BLACK.
The main credits play, in the same way as the main credits of PULP FICTION played. As they do, "Werewolves Of London" by Warren Zevon plays.
Once the credits end, we:
FADE BACK IN ON:
EXT. A ROAD - DAY
Five motorcycles roar by, being driven by five large, menacing-looking men. Women ride on the backs of the three of the motorcycles.
We turn to watch the cycles roar down the road, past a sign that reads: WELCOME TO CLEAR LAKE
As we watch the bikers go we notice that on the backs of all of their jackets is a picture of a wolf with bloody fangs.
CUT TO:
EXT. A BLACK CAMARO - DAY
It's driving down the same road.
CUT TO:
INT. THE CAMARO
Driving is LANCE, a jock-type looking guy. Riding shotgun is a redhead called GINGER. In the back seat is a guy with his hair dyed green wearing a Dawn of the Dead T-shirt, C.J., his brother TRIPS and Trips's girlfriend JEZZY. They're all in the 19-22 age range.
C.J. I'm going to rub it in Dusty's face every time I see him, making fun of him for not being able to come on this trip.
TRIPS Don't you think the pain of not being able to come is bad enough for him, you sadist?
C.J. No. There's always a way.
JEZZY It was miss the trip or have to drop out of school for him...
C.J. So, drop out of school. I bet he ends up dropping out anyway. There's no way he'll go through with a career in psychology.
LANCE You're right about that much.
TRIPS Psychology's cool, though.
GINGER Oh, shit...
LANCE What?
On the floor between Ginger's legs is a small cooler. The lid is open and she's looking into it.
GINGER We're out of beer.
LANCE Oh my God. We have to stop at the next store.
From seemingly out of nowhere, the roar of motorcycles is suddenly upon them. The kids look through the back window to see five motorcycles speeding toward them, coming around a curve. The motorcycles are heading straight for the back of the car and seem to be speeding up.
JEZZY What are they doing?
The motorcycles turn away from the back of the car just in time, the first few going around both sides.
Two of the motorcycles ride right in front of the car, one cycle rides right behind, one cycle rides on each side.
Lance now has to drive within a sort of box.
LANCE Jesus Christ.
GINGER What is their problem?
C.J. Just hit the brakes, Lance, that'll fuck 'em up.
TRIPS No, don't. Just keep driving.
The biker riding on Lance's side knocks on Lance's window.
Lance looks at him and the biker smiles, waving.
Lance waves back with his middle finger.
The biker loses his smile and punches Lance's window, breaking it, showering Lance with glass.
LANCE Shit!
The motorcycles finally start pulling away from the car and driving on down the road.
The kids watch the cycles speed away. The biker Lance flipped off returns the favor as he drives away.
Lance leans his head out his broken window and yells-
LANCE Assholes!
GINGER Don't yell at them.
LANCE Why not? They could've killed us.
GINGER I don't want them to come back and finish the job.
LANCE Pricks...
C.J. Biker gangs still exist?
CUT TO:
EXT. THE ROAD - DAY
The motorcycles drive out of sight.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE WOODS - DAY
Sitting in a deer stand, rifle slung over his lap, Wearing camouflage clothes, drinking a beer, is BRUCE, 38.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE WOODS - DAY
In another area of the woods another hunter in camouflage clothes, CHRIS, 37, is walking with his rifle in hand.
There's a rustling sound nearby and Chris stops, listening.
Another rustling sound.
Chris goes over to a tree, stands behind it and looks in the direction of the rustling.
CHRIS'S P.O.V. - Through the leaves of a nearby tree, we see something moving on the other side.
Chris raises his rifle.
The "something" moves through the leaves.
Chris is ready to fire as soon as whatever it is comes through the leaves and into plain sight.
The "something" does this. It's another man in ripped camouflage, KEVIN MILLER, from Crimson Moon 2.
Chris lowers his rifle.
CHRIS Jesus, Miller. You're going to end up getting shot one of these days.
Miller, oblivious to the fact he was just almost shot, walks up to Chris.
MILLER How's it going?
CHRIS Have you heard any shots fired?
MILLER No.
CHRIS There you go. It's going shit.
MILLER Don't feel bad, I haven't gotten anything in the last couple years.
CHRIS I'm not surprised. So where the hell have you been since last night? You just took off.
MILLER I saw a deer and followed after it. Where's Bruce?
CHRIS Probably still up in the stand.
MILLER Ah...
Miller takes a small drink from his canteen. Chris, who had been drinking a beer, finishes it, belches, and throws the empty can away.
It hits the ground a couple yards away, at the edge of a small hill. It rolls down the hill and stops when it hits a big black boot.
We look up to see that the boot is being worn by a man that has twin holsters with twin pistols in them, and a sword tied to his back. He looks to be in his late 20’s or early 30’s. He kneels down and looks at some tracks on the ground.
He stands up and begins following the trail.
CUT TO:
EXT. A GAS STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE - DAY
The Camaro pulls up to the pumps and stops. Lance and Ginger get out, followed by C.J., Trips and Jezzy.
Lance goes to the pump, prepares to gas up the Camaro and every- one else walks toward the gas station.
We cut to a shot looking around the corner of the gas station as Ginger, C.J., Trips and Jezzy open the station door and walk in. Once they disappear into the building, we look over-
Parked beside the gas station on this side, near the back of the building, are the motorcycles. The bikers aren't around.
CUT TO:
INT. THE GAS STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE
Ginger and C.J. go to the beverage refrigerators in the back of the store while Trips and Jezzy head for the restrooms.
One of the bikers is standing in the middle aisle of the convenience store section, watching the kids. They don't see him.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE GAS STATION - DAY
Lance is pumping gas into the Camaro.
There's a thump behind him and he looks back to see the biker he interacted with earlier leaning on the pump. We'll call the biker BIRD.
BIRD Well fuck me runnin', look who it is.
CUT TO:
INT. THE GAS STATION - THE LADIES ROOM
The door opens and Jezzy enters. Two of the biker women are in the restroom, standing at the sink.
Jezzy tries to ignore the bikers, hoping they'll ignore her as she goes to one of the stalls.
When she goes to open the closed stall door, it swings open and the third biker woman comes out. Jezzy turns to go to another stall, but the other two women are blocking her way.
CUT TO:
INT. THE MENS ROOM
Trips is using one of the urinals when a stall door behind him opens and a biker comes out.
CUT TO:
INT. THE CONVENIENCE STORE AREA
C.J. is holding a case of beer as Ginger looks over the snack foods. She grabs a large bag of chips and turns to C.J. C.J. turns around so they can walk out of the aisle, and he runs right into-
Not a biker, but a crazy looking old man.
OLD MAN Stay out of the woods.
C.J. What?
OLD MAN Stay out of the woods, or you might not come out alive.
C.J. OK, thanks for the advice.
C.J. steps around the old man and walks away. Ginger tries to pass, but the old man grabs her by the arm.
OLD MAN Death stalks the woods! Don't go into the woods!
Ginger pulls her arm away from the old man and hurries after C.J.
EXT. THE GAS STATION - DAY
Lance and Bird are facing off.
LANCE Hey. You know, I was sort of hoping we'd come across each other again.
BIRD Yeah?
LANCE Yeah. Since you broke my window, you can pay for it.
BIRD Sure.
LANCE Pool together some money with your buddies if you want. I guess you're all responsible in a way.
BIRD No, I'll take care of it myself.
Bird steps away from the pump, going to the back of the car, then walking around to the other side.
BIRD You know what, better than paying for the window, I'll even fix the problem myself. You can't have a broken window and three that are still intact. It just doesn't match...
Bird smashes the back window on the passenger side.
CUT TO:
INT. THE GAS STATION - THE LADIES ROOM
Jezzy is circled by the three biker women.
JEZZY Look, I don't want any trouble.

JEZZY On what?
WOMAN #3 How nicely you can ask us.

TRIPS (disgusted) Fuck...
CUT TO:
EXT. THE GAS STATION - DAY
Bird shatters the front passenger side window as Lance rounds the back of the car, going after him.
LANCE That's enough, asshole.
BIRD No, I've got 3 windows to go.

WOMAN #1 Not good enough yet.
JEZZY Come on...
CUT TO:
EXT. THE RESTROOMS
Trips comes out of the bathroom, looking at his wet clothes.
TRIPS Unbelievable.

He leans against the door.
TRIPS What's going on?
CUT TO:
INT. THE LADIES ROOM
Woman #1 has shoved Jezzy against the nearest stall and has a hand over her mouth now.
TRIPS (O.S.) Jezzy?

Lance gets to his feet, his mouth and nose bleeding.
Bird has moved on to breaking the back driver's side window.
Lance runs toward Bird.
At the same time, Ginger and C.J. come out of the gas station carrying a couple bags of stuff. They see what's going on and C.J. puts his bag down so he can run to help Lance.
Before C.J. can go, though, the other bikers burst out of the gas station and one of them grabs him in a bear hug from behind. Another does the same to Ginger.
C.J. Hey! Let go of me!
Lance reaches Bird as he smacks his hand down on the rear window, causing a spider web break.
Lance punches Bird, with almost no effect.
Bird punches Lance in the face and Lance falls to the ground hard.
BIRD Let me finish.
Bird hits the rear window again and it shatters.
He then kicks Lance in the stomach as he walks away.
BIRD Glad to help.
The biker holding C.J. lets him go and he runs to Lance.
C.J. Are you alright?
LANCE Just dandy...
Lance groans as C.J. helps him to his feet.
LANCE That motherfucker...
Lance gets his breath back and starts to go after Bird, who's walking toward the gas station. C.J. holds him back.
C.J. Whoa. Just let it go.
LANCE Just let it go? He broke all of my fucking windows!
C.J. So we'll call the cops or something.
LANCE I want to kick his ass.
C.J. Lance, there's no way. You won't kick his ass any more than you already have, you'll just get hurt more.
LANCE Shit...
Lance realizes C.J.'s right.
Ginger has been let go and comes running up to them.
GINGER Lance, baby, are you alright?
LANCE Do I look alright?
Trips and Jezzy come walking up.
TRIPS What the hell happened?
C.J. Those asshole bikers.
