Notice: I have full permision to show this script
Part 2 of 2
LIZZIE
Jason!
Dominic punches right through Jason's chest and yanks
out his HEART. He holds it aloft. Lizzie cries out
in anguish as Jason falls foward, DEAD before he hits
the ground.
LIZZIE
Noooooo!
Dominic wheels on Lizzie.
DOMINIC
Now it's your turn.
Just before Dominic lashes out, a woman's voice rages--
WOMAN'S VOICE (O.C.)
I don't think so!
Dominic turns around just in time to see...
BETH
HURLING a rock right at him. Dominic's face EXPLODES
with blood! Jason's heart shoots from his grip and
arcs through the air, spinning towards the lake.
EXT. BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE LAKE
In slow motion -- back-lit by a full moon -- Jason's
heart breaks through the surface of the water and
spirals downward. As it passes by camera, we see
that it is still beating.
EXT. LAKE
Dominic struggles to his feet. He spits a mouthful
of blood at Lizzie and Beth, who stand over Jason's
lifeless body in shock and horror.
The girls TAKE OFF, running in opposite directions --
Beth for the cabin, Lizzie towards an old, rickety
DOCK.
EXT. BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE LAKE
Jason's HEART spins deeper and deeper into the lake.
It comes to rest between the rotted-out rib cage of
a tremendous skeleton. The camera tracks along the
rib cage, finally revealing a particularly malformed
skull wearing a hockey mask.
Rotted flesh begins to regenerate as the heart keeps
a steady, even pump.
EXT. DOCK
Thunder and Lightning! The storm escalates to a
new level. Dominic advances on Lizzie, backing her
out onto the dock. Lizzie is SOBBING.
LIZZIE
Jason!
DOMINIC
Jason can't help you, Lizzie. It's
just you and me now.
(evil whisper)
And one of us is going to die.
He grabs her.
LIZZIE
This can't be happening.
DOMINIC
Why are you so surprised? Freddy
controls everything. He brought you
here. He brought me here. It's just
like your nightmare, isn't it?
LIZZIE
(breaking down)
Jason...
Dominic draws his razor glove back for the death blow.
Just then, the lake is hit by a huge bolt of lightning,
causing a bomb-blasting effect.
JASON VOORHEES rises from the lake. This isn't some
teenager wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete.
And it doesn't quite seem to be the Jason we remember
from earlier movies. This Jason is much, much bigger
-- 350 pounds of twisted, rotted flesh packed on his
mythically proportioned gargantuan frame. His hockey
mask is now warped and melted down onto his deformed
skull, caused by years of soaking at the bottom of
the lake. Half of the paint has washed away, leaving
the mask looking like a cloudy, semi-translucent
membrane which barely spares us the horror of having
to witness the hideous face of the monster lurking
inside.
ON DOMINIC
Just as he starts to bring the claw down on Lizzie,
a GIANT HAND grabs him by the back of the neck. He
is lifted off the ground, feet dangling helplessly,
his body whipped around, until he finds himself face-
to-face with...
JASON VOORHEES. Jason raises his machete and ROARS.
Dominic SCREAMS! The machete is about to strike home
when Jason sees...
JASON LUCAS
Lying dead in the mud. Voorhees stares in Lucas'
wide and lifeless eyes. He goes berserk and throws
Necros down hard. He swings his machete wildly.
Necros rolls out of the way and the big blade hacks
into the dock. Splinters fly. Necros manages to
scramble for the woods.
Lizzie looks for an escape, but the only way out is
past Jason Voorhees. He turns to look at her. Their
eyes meet for one chilling moment. Lizzie SCREAMS.
Jason looks down at his monstrous reflection in the
surface of the lake, then to the dead body lying on
the ground. He brandishes his machete up to the
heavens and lets loose an earth-shaking ROAR!
Lizzie takes off through the woods, terrified.
EXT. MAIN CABIN
Beth frantically runs to the cabin door -- but it's
locked. She yanks, tugs, pulls, and pounds.
BETH
C'mon, open the door! It's me!
Open the goddamn door!
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN CABIN - AT THE SAME EXACT MOMENT
WE SEE Beth lying on the floor SCREAMING and flailing
in her sleep. Todd, Sam, and Marnie are huddled
around her, watching helplessly.
BETH
Open the goddamn door!
SAM
Beth! Beth! C'mon, Beth! Come out
of it!
MARNIE
Turn her over so she doesn't choke
on her vomit.
TODD
She's not gonna Hendrix. She's just
having a nightmare.
SAM
(truly worried)
I've never seen Beth like this
before... and she does a lot of
drugs.
Sam starts shaking her. Then he slaps his girlfriend
on the face. Beth's eyes pop open. She's panting
and disoriented.
BETH
Lizzie! Where's Lizzie?! We've
gotta-- what, but-- how did I get
inside?
Sam holds Beth tight, cradling her head in his lap.
SAM
You never left. It's okay. You were
having a nightmare.
BETH'S P.O.V.
Sam, Todd, and Marnie are looking down at her with
concern. Their faces WARP as the Somnambulene
wears off.
MARNIE
You went to warn Lizzie about
Dominic. But you passed out before
you got to the door.
Her vision snaps back to normal.
BACK TO SCENE
TODD
You never could hold your Flaming
Piss.
BETH
But I... How...
Beth looks around and realizes she's lying on the
cabin floor. At first she looks completely disori-
ented. Then she slowly starts to LAUGH.
BETH
Whoa. That's so fucked up.
THE CABIN DOOR
BURSTS open. LIZZIE runs in, gasping for breath, eyes
wide with terror. Marnie runs to her.
MARNIE
Lizzie, we've got to get out of
here! Dominic escaped.
(looking out the doorway)
Where's Jason?
LIZZIE
He's dead. Dominic killed him!
Sam jumps to his feet, letting Beth's head fall back
onto the floor.
SAM
Holy shit!
LIZZIE
(breaking down)
He ripped out Jason's heart and
then he tried to kill me. I can't
take this anymore!
MARNIE
Stay calm. Stay calm! STAY--
Marnie, too, breaks down and starts WAILING.
BETH
We've gotta get out of here.
TODD
How? Dominic's right outside.
SAM
Shit, you're right!
Sam drags a chair over to the front door and barri-
cades it.
SAM
Let's go. Everything that's not
nailed down.
Sam and Todd carry a sofa to the front door while
Marnie still sits on it.
MARNIE
Faster!
TODD
How far away is he, Lizzie?
LIZZIE
He's by the lake. That's where I
got away... and only because--
BETH
(jumping in)
I smashed him in the face with a
rock.
Sam, Todd, and Marnie forget their panic for a moment
and turn to Beth, confused.
TODD
What are you talking about? You
never left the cabin.
LIZZIE
No, she was there with me. She saved
my life.
They turn to Lizzie, even more confused.
TODD
No, she was here with us... having
a nightmare.
LIZZIE
It wasn't a nightmare! It was real.
Beth hit him with the rock, then--
BETH
Then Jason's heart went flying in
the lake!
LIZZIE
I got cornered on a dock, and then...
Lizzie gets lost in thought.
MARNIE
What, Lizzie, what?
Thunder and lightning.
LIZZIE
Jason Voorhees came out of the lake.
SAM
Jason Voorhees?
Lizzie starts crying. She nods her head. Sam laughs.
TODD
Cool it, Sam.
(soothing)
Jason Voorhees is just a movie
character. He isn't real. You know
that. You must have blacked out and
had a nightmare -- just like Beth.
LIZZIE
But... no... we couldn't both have
the same nightmare. Unless...
Lizzie and Beth look at each other, unnerved. There
could be only one explanation...
LIZZIE/BETH
The Somnambulene.
LIZZIE
Oh, my God. We shared a dream.
SAM
I thought you made up all that side
effect shit up, you know, to scare
us off.
Lizzie shakes her head. Sam picks up the empty bottle
of Somnambulene and stares at it in wonder.
SAM
It really works? Awesome!
Sam grabs another beer and takes a celebratory chug.
LIZZIE
Wait a minute... If it was all a
dream, that means... Dominic's
still in jail!
Lizzie breaks into a relieved smile.
LIZZIE
And Jason's still alive!
Lizzie hugs Marnie. Todd, Sam, and Beth exchange
worried looks. Should we tell her? Finally, Beth
walks over to Lizzie and puts her hand on her
shoulder.
TODD
(walking on eggshells)
Lizzie, I've got some bad news. I
don't want you to freak out...
SAM
But you're gonna.
LIZZIE
What is it?
TODD
Dominic really did escape from jail.
LIZZIE
(freaking out)
What?! Are you sure?
TODD
Dead sure. We never went to sleep.
We heard it on the radio.
(pointed)
Before Sam busted it.
SAM
Would you stop it with the fucking
radio already? I said I'd buy you
a new one.
TODD
No, you didn't. I said you'd buy
me a new one.
MARNIE
Shut up!
(losing her shit)
There's a serial killer on the loose
and he's got a hard-on for Lizzie.
And we're in the middle of nowhere...
no phones, no police, no one to
hear us scream...
LIZZIE
(also losing her shit)
Why would you say that?!
MARNIE
IT'S TRUE!
LIZZIE
I KNOW!
MARNIE
(to Beth)
WE'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!
Lizzie and Marnie continue freaking. Beth takes
charge, pulling Sam and Todd over to the door.
BETH
Okay. Here's what we do.
She starts single-handedly pushing the couch away
from the door.
BETH
You go find Jason. He's probably
passed out somewhere. We'll pack
up here and meet you at the van.
Beth opens the door. Sam sees the downpour and
hesitates.
SAM
Jesus, it's really coming down out
there. How 'bout we pack, you go
get Jason?
BETH
Just take your "umbrella", asshole.
BETH grabs the Freddy mask and fedora and flings them
at Sam. He puts them on and follows Todd outside.
EXT. MAIN CABIN
Todd and Sam are about to step out into the rain
when Todd stops short.
TODD
You don't really think Dominic
will find us up here, do you?
Through the mask, Sam's eyes scan the campground.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. Sam turns back to Todd, who
gives him the dancing eyebrows.
SAM
Well, if he does... I hope he drinks
lite beer, 'cause that's all we got
left.
Sam reaches into a cooler set out on the porch and
pulls out a six-pack. He hands a beer to Todd and
cracks one open for himself. They chug their beers,
crush their cans on their heads, and step out into
the rain.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. LAKE - LATER
The alcohol has kicked in the Somnambulne again --
FULL FORCE. Sam and Todd's vision is distorted,
their speech slurred. They stumble through the
darkness, LAUGHING their asses off.
SAM
Jason!
His voice echoes into the woods. Sam cracks open
another beer. Todd smacks him on the shoulder.
Sam awkwardly turns.
SAM'S P.O.V.
Todd's face twists.
TODD
Take it easy, man. You gotta drive.
BACK TO SCENE
Sam bursts out laughing.
SAM
Uh-uh. Not me. Too drunk.
Sam tosses his car keys to Todd.
TODD'S P.O.V.
The keys fly through the air, making impossible,
zig-zagging turns... due to the effects of the
Somnambulene.
BACK TO SCENE
Todd fumbles the catch. Sam LAUGHS, cracks open
another beer, and hands it to Todd.
TODD
Well, not me. I'm wasted.
SAM
Yeah? I'm trashed.
TODD
I'm ripped.
SAM
I'm sloshed.
TODD
I'm fried.
SAM
I'm...
(with great difficulty)
...inebriated.
TODD
I'm...
(at a loss)
You win. I'll drive.
Todd bends down and picks up the keys.
SAM
Screw it, let's make Jason drive.
You and me will crash in the back
of the van and dream-share at two-
on-one with Marnie.
Sam puts a hand up for a high-five. Todd leaves
him hanging.
TODD
(disturbed)
You want to nail my girlfriend?
With me watching?
SAM
(caught)
Oh... um...
Just then, Sam notices something.
SAM
Hey, look...
Sam points to a hockey mask-wearing figure off in
the distance.
SAM
It's Jason.
TODD
Did he see us?
SAM
I don't think so. Let's scare the
shit out of him.
Sam and Todd nod at each other and smile.
CLOSE ON JASON
This isn't Jason Lucas. It's Jason Voorhees. As
we PAN down his huge, grotesque body we see him
dropping the lifeless body of Jason Lucas into the
mud. SPLAT!
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
TODD AND SAM
Creep up on Jason, oblivious.
TODD
You got a plan?
SAM
I don't know... jump out, say "boo"?
TODD
(impressed)
Good plan.
SAM
(a la "Bad Sequel Freddy")
Freddy or not, here I come...
Sam does a lame Freddy CACKLE and gives Todd the
thumbs-up with a plastic razor claw.
INT. MAIN CABIN
Lights flicker and begin to dim as the generator
continues its uneven pulse of electricity. Beth and
Marnie are packing as fast as they can. Lizzie is
staring off into space.
BETH
What's taking them so long?
LIZZIE
Something's wrong. I can feel it.
MARNIE
Would you stop saying things like
that! You're scaring me.
LIZZIE
We're gonna die here.
MARNIE
Stop it!
BETH
Come on, Lizzie, just keep it
together a little longer. Okay?
Lizzie finally turns to Marnie and Beth.
LIZZIE
He's coming.
The lights go out. Marnie SCREAMS. A shadowy form
glides unnoticed into the cabin through the shattered
back door.
EXT. LAKE
Todd staggers through a tangle of trees, completely
oblivious to the fact that each step brings him
closer to the greatest horror he's ever known--
The real Jason Voorhees.
Todd takes a final sip of beer and tosses the can
into the bushes. Todd pushes aside some branches.
He is now only a few yards away.
TODD
Hey, man, quit putzing around, we
gotta go.
TODD'S P.O.V.
The grotesque features of Jason Voorhees seem to be
merely a vision-warping effect of the Somnambulene.
BACK TO SCENE
TODD
We just heard on the radio that
Dominic broke out of jail. Lizzie's
pretty freaked out. So we figured
we'd better take the party somewhere
else.
Jason just stands there, his breathing slow and heavy.
It sounds wet and disgusting. Drool pours from beneath
the hockey mask.
TODD
Oh, and by the way, you're driving.
Me and Sam are too... inebriated.
A clueless Todd pulls a can of beer from his baggy
pants and shakes it. Jason's hand tightens around
his machete.
TODD
What the hell, one more wouldn't
kill you...
Todd pops the top.
SUDS SHOOT all over Jason.
WHOOSH! Jason swings his machete!
Todd barely avoids the blade.
TODD
Hey, watch it, dickhead!
Todd bounces the empty beer can off of Jason's chest.
Jason rears back to take another swing...
SAM jumps in front of him, wearing the Freddy mask.
SAM
Boo!
Sam menaces Jason with his razor glove, scraping the
plastic claws together and CACKLING.
ON JASON
The eyes behind the hockey mask are ablaze with fury.
We can almost make out his grotesque features contort-
ing behind the translucent plastic.
JASON GOES BERSERK!
He lashes out at Sam with his machete. Sam looks
down and sees blood pouring from a cut across his
chest.
SAM
Aaaagggghhh!
Sam is frozen in shock. Todd grabs him and tries to
pull him away. They take a few steps backwards and...
SAM TRIPS and falls to the ground. He ends up face
to face with his dead buddy Jason Lucas. He SCREAMS
and scrambles to his feet.
Todd and Sam run for their lives! Jason follows!
They take off into the woods, fighting their way
through the densely packed trees. Jason relentlessly
STALKS after them, his machete making easy work
of everything in his path. CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!
Todd and Sam tear through a thicket of thorny branches
and find themselves at the edge of a--
MUDDY EMBANKMENT
The ground beneath their feet gives way. They tumble
down, finally coming to a jarring stop in a small
stream. Todd helps a dazed Sam to his feet. They
look up at the top of the embankment. Jason is
glaring down at them.
TODD
Think you can make it back to the
cabin?
Sam clutches his chest and gasps for breath through
the air-holes in his Freddy mask. He nods. They
tear off running through the woods.
The cabin is finally in sight. Todd leaps over a
fallen tree.
Sam looks over his shoulder to see if they're being
followed and TRIPS over the tree.
Todd doubles back to help and sees...
Jason STALKING towards them.
He vaults the tree and lands between Sam and Todd.
Jason faces Todd, shoves him out of the way, and
turns to "Freddy Krueger".
Sam cowers and tries to hide under the fallen tree.
Jason reaches down and grabs him. He lifts Sam off
the ground, tossing him high into the air. He swings
his machete, cutting right through Sam's neck. The
body drops down to the ground as the head continues
flying upward. When the head descends, Jason thrusts
out his arms and catches it in mid-flight.
Todd backs up, his mouth hanging wide open in
disbelief.
Jason stares at the severed "Freddy" head, inspecting
his kill. Gravity begins pulling on Sam's head,
loosening it from the rubber mask. His face slowly
appears, squeezing out of the mask's neck hole.
Jason cocks his head to the side, confused.
Sam's head finally pulls free from the rubber -- it
falls heavily into the mud. SPLAT!
Jason is left holding the empty Freddy mask. He looks
down at Sam's decapitated head and delivers a BLOOD-
CURDLING ROAR. He rips the Freddy mask in two and
kicks Sam's head far into the woods.
Jason stalks off into the darkness, falling a tree
with his machete. PAN over to see--
TODD
Still standing there with his mouth hanging open.
He picks up the torn Freddy mask.
A SMILE slowly creeps across his face. Then he begins
to LAUGH. An extremely strange reaction indeed.
CUT TO:
INT. MAIN CABIN
Lizzie stands in the middle of the darkened room,
paralyzed by fear. Marnie hyperventilates. Beth
throws more wood into the fireplace.
BETH
(on edge)
No big deal. It's just the generator,
right? Everything's fine.
MARNIE
I thought I heard someone scream.
BETH
That was you.
MARNIE
No... Outside!
LIZZIE
(softly)
I heard it, too.
BETH
(starting to lose it)
Stop it. Both of you.
(to Lizzie)
You're scared and you're making
Marnie scared and that just makes
you more scared and now... I'm
getting scared.
DOMINIC NECROS moves out of the shadows.
DOMINIC
You should be.
THUNDER! LIGHTNING!
Lizzie, Marnie, and Beth SCREAM. Beth picks up a
fireplace poker and swings it at Dominic. With little
effort, he grabs the poker and tugs it violently,
sending Beth flying head-first into a wall. She
crumples to the floor, blood trickling down her fore-
head.
Dominic touches the bloody gash on his own head and
smiles. He advances on Lizzie.
LIZZIE
(terrified whisper)
Please... don't kill me.
Dominic puts a single razor claw at the nape of
Lizzie's neck. He slowly and deliberately traces it
up her throat and under her chin, lifting her head so
she stares directly into his eyes.
DOMINIC
Kill you? I'm not going to kill you.
He pulls the razor away from her chin. Then he
leans in, his face pressed against hers, his voice
deadly serious.
DOMINIC
I had my chance. Now it's someone
else's turn.
He pulls out a large syringe loaded with an iridescent
green liquid -- Somnambulene.
DOMINIC
You're about to take a trip. A Som-
nambulene trip. To meet my master.
FREDDY KRUEGER!
The cabin door CRASHES open. More THUNDER and
LIGHTNING! In walks...
TODD.
He's covered with blood and mud and he's LAUGHING his
ass off. Then he notices that Dominic has Lizzie
cornered... and LAUGHS even louder.
TODD
Dominic, so glad you could make
it. We weren't sure if you'd be
able to find us.
Dominic just stares at him.
TODD
You know, we're all pretty beat,
and I'm sure you are too, so why
don't we just do the whole murder
thing in the morning?
Marnie is really freaking out now.
MARNIE
Stop it, Todd! He'll kill you!
TODD
Who, this guy? I wouldn't worry
about it. Oh, mmm, Lizzie? I just
bumped into your boyfriend. You were
right. He's dead. Someone tore out
his heart.
LIZZIE
Oh, my God! No!
TODD
Now, I'm not pointing any fingers,
but...
(scolding)
Dominic?
DOMINIC
(whispers)
I killed him and I'll kill you.
TODD
(not impressed)
Sure you will. Hold that thought.
He looks down at Beth, who's still on the floor
holding her bloody head.
TODD
Beth, I'm glad you're sitting down.
Uh... how do I put this...
(matter of fact)
Sam just got his head cut off by
Jason Voorhees.
BETH
What?!
Her eyes well up, she tries to choke back tears.
LIZZIE
Todd, what are you doing?!
TODD
I'll tell you what I'm doing... I'm
sleeping. Right now. We all are.
Don't you get it, Lizzie? We passed
out when we took the Somnambulene
and we've been sharing a dream ever
since! I mean, how else can you
explain Dominic finding us?
DOMINIC
(ominous)
Freddy sent me.
TODD
(patronizing)
Uh huh.
(to the others)
All a dream.
Dominic starts advancing on Todd, deliberately
exaggerating his body motions in a dreamlike fashion.
DOMINIC
That's right. None of this is really
happening. This is all a dream.
(then, a low growl)
Tell that to Lizzie's doctor, who's
lying all over a hospital floor
right now...
He holds up the syringe and twirls it hypnotically,
squirting out glowing green fluid.
TODD
Hey, Somnambulene! That is some
crazy shit!
(like a schoolteacher)
Now, Dominic, did you bring enough
for everybody?
DOMINIC
Don't worry. You'll get your chance
to meet Freddy Krueger.
TODD
(mock terror)
Ooooo, you're going to send me to
"Nightmare World"? No! You can't
send me there!
(suddenly serious)
You know why? 'Cause it doesn't
exist. And neither does Freddy
Krueger!
Todd stretches the torn Freddy mask over his face
and waggles his tongue at Dominic.
DOMINIC
You're dead!
Dominic grabs Todd by the throat, slams him against
a wall, and prepares to gut him with his razor claw.
BOOM! The front door is blown out of its frame,
revealing...
JASON VOORHEES.
Lizzie SCREAMS. Beth and Marnie SCREAM. Dominic
reels backwards, releasing his hold on Todd.
TODD
(overly enthusiastic)
Hey, everybody, look who's here!
It's Jason Voorhees!
Todd LAUGHS again and starts to walk towards Jason.
LIZZIE
Todd, stay back!
TODD
Why? He's not so tough. I've had
worse nightmares.
Todd reaches up and snatches off Jason's hockey mask.
Everyone SCREAMS, forced to witness the gigantic
malformed head housing the severely retarded and
extremely tormented lake-drenched brain of the machete
wielding maniac. A writhing mass of worms, leeches,
and snakes slithers and squirms in and out of his
head.
Jason's face contorts, squeezing out a knot of white
worms, as he bellows forth a HELLISH ROAR!
Todd is finally taken over the edge. He's not sure
whether this is a dream or not. All he knows is it
scares the living shit out of him!
He lets go of the hockey mask. It rockets back toward
Jason's face, propelled by its elastic band, and--
CRACK!
Pieces of the old mask shatter away on impact, leaving
Jason's most grotesque features exposed. Jason ROARS
again and again.
He SWINGS at Todd. Todd ducks, exposing Dominic
behind him. The edge of Jason's machete just misses
Dominic's face.
Jason raises his machete over his head with both arms.
Before he can bring it down on Dominic's skull,
Dominic lunges, driving his razor claws deep into
Jason's chest, trying to rip out his heart.
Jason HOWLS and puts a bone crushing squeeze on
Dominic's arm. With a mighty yank, he rips the razor
claw out of his chest.
Jason lifts up Dominic high off the ground by his
neck and hauls back his machete for the kill!
Dominic panics and DRIVES the huge SYRINGE full of
Somnambulene into Jason with such force, the needle
and half the casing get buried in Jason's thickly
muscled trunk of a neck.
Dominic pushes the plunger down hard!
Jason BELLOWS and swings Dominic around the room like
a rag doll while trying to tear the syringe from his
neck.
Dominic goes flying right into MARNIE and they both
go crashing into the wall. Dominic madly scrambles
out of the cabin.
Jason wreaks havoc, stumbling around the room,
disoriented by the Somnambulene. With a burst of
pure adrenaline, he rips the syringe from his neck
and, in a powerful arc, drives the hypo deep into...
LIZZIE'S CHEST
Lizzie flies backwards, slamming into the wall. She
looks down in horror at the needle sticking out of
her and SCREAMS, struggling to remove the syringe.
But she can't. She's already suffering from a massive
dose of the drug.
LIZZIE
No, no, no, I can't.
BETH
Hold still. Hold still!
Beth yanks out the needle. Lizzie cries out.
LIZZIE
I don't want to share a dream
with him!
(fading)
I can't... I can't...
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
In a massive, nauseating blast of Somnambulene,
Lizzie sees Jason lurch forward, beginning to lose
consciousness. His grotesque features spin like
water going down a drain.
BACK TO SCENE
LIZZIE
Reaches out to the wall for support by misses and
falls to the floor.
JASON
Loses his footing. He, too, falls to the floor.
BOOM! His gargantuan body just misses Lizzie.
LIZZIE AND JASON
Are lying side by side. Head to head. They both
PASS OUT at the same time.
BLACK OUT
The camera SPIRALS out of the darkness of Lizzie's
screaming mouth. We are suddenly blinded by intense
daylight.
As the scene begins to coalesce, we realize we are
still in the cabin. Only now, it is clean and new...
we are clearly in THE PAST.
LIZZIE AND JASON are still on the floor. Everyone
else is gone.
Lizzie's screaming fades, and is replaced by the
ominous sound of Jason's BEATING HEART.
Lizzie's eyes snap open. As she bolts to her feet
and looks down at Jason -- in a Somnambulene-induced
blur of plastic reality -- she can actually see
Jason's massive heart POUNDING against his heaving
ribcage.
Lizzie REELS... the warping, twisting, nauseating
effect is almost too much to bear.
We realize we are in...
JASON'S NIGHTMARE!
Outside the cabin, we hear the haunting, sing-song
voices of CHILDREN.
CHILDREN (O.S.)
One, two, Freddy's comin' for you.
Three, four, better lock your door...
Suddenly, Jason begins to WAIL...
His body CONVULSES...
He begins to SHRINK!
With each beat of his heart Jason becomes smaller...
younger... until, finally, he is a LITTLE BOY,
wearing a toy hockey mask and holding a plastic
machete.
The children's singing suddenly becomes SCREAMING!
Lizzie panics and dashes into a dark closet.
THE FRONT DOOR bursts open.
CHILDREN race in -- not screaming in horror, but
screaming in delight.
They tease and poke Jason. He is startled awake.
Suddenly, a DEEPER VOICE permeates the nightmare.
VOICE (O.S.)
One, two, Freddy's coming for you!
FREDDY KRUEGER
Runs into the cabin. Not the Freddy we know. This
is TEENAGE FREDDY. No burn scars. No fedora. No
razor claws. Just a brand new red and green striped
sweater.
FREDDY pinches and grabs the children playfully,
chasing them back out the cabin door. Then he turns
back to Jason.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Looking through the eye-holes of the hockey mask, it's
almost as if we become Jason. His breathing is quick
and shallow.
His heart races. In an instant, Freddy's demeanor
changes, becoming more menacing.
FREDDY
Jason, there you are!
Jason's heartbeat becomes LOUDER... FASTER... becoming
the haunting, percussive score underneath an ever-
quickening series of NIGHTMARISH SURREAL IMAGES:
Jason RUNS into a closet.
The door SLAMS SHUT
Lizzie shrinks back into the shadows.
JASON'S P.O.V.
A RAZOR CLAW comes bursting through the door!
Jason COWERS
Freddy's teenage face pushes into the darkness of
the closet...
FREDDY
Ready to play the Nightmare Game?
...and instantly morphs into NIGHTMARE FREDDY --
burn scars, fedora and all!
Freddy CLAWS at Jason
A tangle of flailing LIMBS
A flash of MACHETE BLADE...
...connecting with SKIN
A SCREAM
BLOOD spurts from Freddy's wrist
Freddy looks at his WOUND with disbelief
He GRABS Jason and with a MIGHTY SHOVE drives his
entire body through the floorboards.
AN EXPLOSION OF WATER!
UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER
We see Jason struggle... his eyes wide with terror...
running out of air...
Freddy yanks Jason up out of the water. We suddenly
find ourselves...
EXT. LAKE - DAY
Freddy stands in the lake...
He yanks Jason out of the water.
Jason gasps for air as...
Children swim, oblivious, in the distance.
Jason suddenly pulls free of Freddy's grasp, and
lashes out with his machete, cutting Freddy again.
Freddy explodes in an insane rage. He SHOVES Jason
back under.
LIZZIE watches, frozen in utter terror. She tries
to scream. At first, there is no sound. Then,
suddenly, her voice BREAKS THROUGH the nightmare.
LIZZIE
Nooooooo!
FREDDY
Turns and sees her. As their eyes meet...
A HUGE BOLT OF LIGHTNING
Hits Jason's machete. Jason stops struggling and
disappears into the murky depths. In a strange
nightmarish jump-cutting device -- the scene suddenly
is pitched into...
THE BLACKEST OF NIGHTS
The wind howls.
FREDDY
You got into little Jason's dreams.
You found out our secret.
ANOTHER BOLT OF LIGHTNING RIPS INTO THE LAKE
Freddy lifts Jason out of the water again. Only now
Jason is back to full size. Jason takes one last
swing at Freddy. Freddy laughs and shoves Jason
back into the lake.
FREDDY
Poor Jason. Stumbling around the
lake all these years... The mind-
less sleepwalker... killing victim
after victim. Every time he looks
at them, he sees only me.
Lizzie remains immobilized by terror.
FREDDY
He was my first, you know. But
there have been so many more.
Lizzie starts to retreat as Freddy's face becomes
ravenous...
FREDDY
And you're next!
Freddy CACKLES maniacally and races supernaturally
forward, raising his razor claw to strike...
SMASH CUT TO:
INT. MAIN CABIN - NIGHT
Lizzie wakes up SCREAMING as Beth shakes her. Marnie
and Todd are kneeling over her. Todd's face is
creased with worry. Marnie is losing it. Lizzie
opens her eyes.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
Marnie's face comes into focus, distorting ever so
slightly.
MARNIE
(panicking, near tears)
That's it... Wake up... Please don't
be mental. Please!
BACK TO SCENE
BETH
I think she's okay. Let's try to
move her now.
Lizzie tries to sit up. She's totally disoriented.
She rubs her eyes, trying to clear her vision.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
The faces around her warp as the effects of the
Somnambulene wear off.
MARNIE
Okay, that's good. Can you stand,
Lizzie? We've gotta get out of
here. We've gotta get to the van.
BACK TO SCENE
Todd tosses Marnie the keys.
TODD
Fuck it, I'll carry her.
Todd bends down and lifts Lizzie. As he turns to go,
Lizzie notices...
JASON VOORHEES
Lying on the floor. He struggles violently, drowning
in his nightmare. Lake water bubbles and gushes out
of his mouth by the gallon.
LIZZIE
No, wait! He's drowning!
MARNIE
Good, let him!
Todd starts for the door again. Lizzie struggles in
his arms.
LIZZIE
We've got to wake him up!
BETH
Are you crazy? If he wakes up, he'll
kill us all!
(to Todd)
Move!
Todd tries to wrestle Lizzie out the door. But Lizzie
can't let Jason die. Not after what she's seen.
LIZZIE
It's not his fault!
Lizzie tears free from Todd and rushes to Jason. She
drops down to her knees and pounds on his massive
chest.
LIZZIE
WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
Her friends try desperately to pull her off.
TOO LATE.
Jason wakes, spitting and roaring. A look of utter
anguish stretching over his grotesque features. In
a split second, he's up on his feet, mad as hell.
Everyone scatters, terrified, throughout the room.
TODD
"It's not his fault! Wake him up!"
Great fucking idea, Lizzie!
Jason wheels on Todd.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Todd's frightened face MORPHS into Freddy Krueger's.
TODD
You should have let him die!
(voice changing into Freddy's)
You should have let him die!
BACK TO SCENE
Jason lunges at Todd, SHOVES him against the wall,
and brings up his machete. Todd raises his hands
to protect himself from the blow.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Jason still sees Todd as Freddy. Suddenly, Todd's
raised hand MORPHS into Freddy's razor claw. "Freddy"
SCREAMS!
BACK TO SCENE
Jason swings his machete, carving a violent arc
through the air and right through Todd's torso. His
upper body spins end-over-end towards Marnie.
MARNIE
Oh, my God! Todd, no! No!!!
Jason wheels on her.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Now Marnie changes into Freddy Krueger. Her face
MORPHS and her VOICE ALTERS so that her hysterical
CRIES become an insane CACKLE.
BACK TO SCENE
Jason roars and rages. He charges at her, the blood-
drenched machete raised, ready to strike.
LIZZIE steps between them.
LIZZIE
Jason, stop!
Amazingly, Jason does. Lizzie continues talking,
trying to remain calm even though her voice is
quavering with fear.
LIZZIE
Stop. You don't want to kill us.
You want to kill Freddy Krueger.
I know what he did to you.
Jason stares at Lizzie. For a moment, it seems she's
getting through to him.
LIZZIE
Everywhere you look you see him.
In the background, Lizzie sees...
BETH snatching up a heavy chunk of firewood.
LIZZIE
Beth, no!
Jason turns and sees Beth.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Beth's face MORPHS into Freddy's. "Freddy" CACKLES
as he sends the wood sailing through the air, right
at Jason.
BACK TO SCENE
The huge chunk of firewood hits Jason hard. He
ROARS -- his rage returns even fiercer than before.
He hoists a rusted out Coke machine and, with inhuman
strength, HURLS it across the room at Beth. Beth
throws herself to the floor and manages to avoid a
deadly collision. The soda machine smashes a hole
through the cabin wall.
BETH
RUN!
Jason swings his machete at Beth's head. She ducks
just in time, and the blade connects with the fire-
place. Sparks fly! Hunks of stone explode on impact!
Lizzie, Marnie, and Beth tear out of the cabin as
Jason rages, destroying everything in his path.
EXT. MAIN CABIN
Thunder! Lightning!
Beth, Marnie, and Lizzie run through the pounding
rain towards the Carpet City van.
Lizzie SLIPS in the mud. Beth grabs her arm and
DRAGS her the rest of the way to the van.
Marnie makes it to the driver's door. Lizzie and
Beth get to the passenger side. They all try their
doors... they're locked.
LIZZIE
Open the door! Move it!
MARNIE
Fuck, fuck, fuck...
Marnie fumbles in her pockets and pulls out the keys,
her hands trembling with fear.
THE CABIN DOOR
Flies off its hinges and Jason Voorhees bursts
through!
THE GIRLS
Scream!
MARNIE
Scared to death, drops the keys in the mud. She
bends down and searches frantically as...
JASON
Stalks toward them, machete raised high.
MARNIE
Finds the keys. She fumbles with the door lock. She
can't get the key to fit! She looks down at the key
ring and notices a BUTTON on the alarm remote. She
presses it.
CHIRP!
CHUNK. CHUNK. CHUNK.
The doors unlock electronically.
Everyone scrambles into the van. Marnie jams a key
into the ignition.
BETH
Let's go!
The van doesn't start.
MARNIE
(through tears)
Oh, no... no... please... start!
She tries again. Still, the engine doesn't turn
over. Marnie turns to the girls.
MARNIE
I can't. It won't--
BOOM!
Jason's monstrous hand smashes through the driver's
side window and clamps around Marnie's neck.
Marnie barely manages to choke out a scream before
being yanked out of the window.
Lizzie and Beth SCREAM.
JASON
Slams Marnie up against the side of the van with a
sickening thud and raises his machete...
LIZZIE (O.C.)
Marnie!!! No!!!
It's the last sound Marnie will ever hear.
INSIDE THE VAN
Beth crouches, terrified, in back. Suddenly, Jason's
machete PIERCES through the side of the van. It
stops just inches from Beth's face... dripping
Marnie's blood.
BETH
Drive!
Lizzie jumps in the driver's seat, turns the ignition...
THE VAN STARTS.
Lizzie FLOORS IT. But the van doesn't move.
EXT. VAN
The tires spin impotently in place, splashing a huge
rooster-tail of mud and water skyward.
LIZZIE
(crying)
We're stuck!
JASON withdraws his machete from Marnie and the van.
Marnie's body falls to the ground. The tires
suddenly catch dry earth, sending the van careening
wildly forward.
INT. VAN
Lizzie wrestles with the steering wheel to keep
the van on the road. Beth clutches onto the back
of the driver's seat, hanging on for dear life.
BETH
Hurry!
But Lizzie is too hysterical. She's having a hard
time controlling the van.
BETH
Watch out!
Beth scrambles up to the passenger seat and fights
Lizzie to get control of the steering wheel.
EXT. VAN
The van swerves off the road and side-swipes a tree.
INT. VAN
The girls SCREAM. Lizzie jerks the wheel away from
Beth. The van caroms wildly back onto the road.
Rain pounds the windshield. Lizzie can just make
out the main gate of the camp and the road beyond it.
BETH
Just get us the fuck away from here!
LIZZIE'S FACE
Changes as a look of realization overtakes her. Tears
well up in her eyes. She clenches the steering wheel.
Her knuckles whiten. Unexpectedly, she slams on the
brakes.
THE VAN
Fishtails violently on the water-slicked road, until
it SCREECHES to a halt.
BETH
What the hell are you doing? We're
almost out of here. We're almost
safe!
LIZZIE
We'll never be safe... not as long
as Freddy's alive.
BETH
Lizzie, please, can we talk about
this later?
SPLAT!
A razor claw suddenly erupts from Beth's chest!
Blood flies all over the windshield.
Lizzie turns and sees Dominic Necros smiling back
at her. He has impaled Beth right through the
back of her seat! He waves at Lizzie with his
bloody razor claw.
DOMINIC
Remember me?
Dominic removes his arm from Beth's chest -- she
slumps against the dashboard, dead. Before Lizzie
can even scream, he presses a syringe filled with
Somnambulene up against her neck.
DOMINIC
You're right, Lizzie. You can't
escape. Freddy will always be there.
He lives inside your head.
Dominic slowly scratches Lizzie's scalp with his
needle.
DOMINIC
Come to him!
LIZZIE
In your dreams.
Lizzie stomps down on the accelerator. The van shoots
forward. Dominic is knocked off balance. He reaches
out to stop himself from falling and grabs Lizzie's
hair, yanking her head back.
Dominic looks out the windshield and realizes Lizzie
has aimed the van straight for a huge tree.
DOMINIC
Nooooooo!
The van CRASHES into the TREE.
The AIRBAG inflates around Lizzie.
DOMINIC goes flying through the windshield in a
shower of exploding glass.
Lizzie sits, numb with shock, looking at the
destruction around her.
Lizzie tries to open her door. It's stuck. She RAMS
it with her shoulder and it flies open, sending her
falling to the ground.
EXT. LAKE
With great effort, Lizzie struggles to her feet and
stands on unsteady legs.
Everything is silent. Lizzie looks around the cold,
dark woods, choking back her tears. She shudders.
She sees Dominic lying on the road in a lifeless
heap. Debris from the wrecked van is strewn about
all around him. Lizzie moves closer to see if he
is truly dead. She gently KICKS him. He doesn't
move. She KICKS him even harder. He still doesn't
move.
Lizzie notices her purse... and just beyond it...
the GUN her mother gave her. Not taking any chances,
she grabs it, turns on Necros, and unloads all six
bullets into his corpse. She keeps pulling the
trigger, even though the chambers are more than empty.
Lizzie's gone mad. The night's events have caused a
mental overload. She collapses to knees in the road
next to Dominic's body, the rain pouring down on her.
Lizzie suddenly hears heavy footsteps on gravel
approaching. She slowly looks up and sees...
JASON VOORHEES
In the road, caught in the van's flickering headlights.
He stands frozen, holding his machete. He breathes
in the cold night air, sending steam shooting from
his mouth... waiting... watching.
Lizzie looks around. The van is demolished. Beth
is dead. Jason Voorhees blocks any escape. The
gun is empty. She looks over at Dominic...
He still clutches the SYRINGE of Somnambulene.
Lizzie takes a deep breath and, with one eye still
on Jason, cautiously tugs at the syringe. It doesn't
budge. Lizzie pulls harder and pries the syringe
from his grip.
Lizzie looks up at Jason.
Jason eyes her warily, tightening his grip on the
machete. He breathes heavily, more steam shoots out.
He slowly hoists the blade up high. Just as he is
about to bring it down on Lizzie's head, she SCREAMS...
LIZZIE
Wait!
Lizzie's trembling voice betrays her fear. She now
faces her last -- and only -- option.
LIZZIE
You want to end your nightmare --
our nightmare. You're the only one
who can do it. I know where you can
find him. I can take you there.
She looks at him in a moment of silence.
LIZZIE
I can help you.
Lizzie raises the syringe of Somnambulene high into
the air, then stabs it into her leg, hard, pushing
the plunger down.
LIZZIE
You can help me.
In the moment before she loses consciousness, she
whispers...
LIZZIE
Help me.
She falls to the ground at Jason's feet...
Her hand opens... sending the syringe rolling towards
him.
Lizzie PASSES OUT.
BLACK OUT.
FADE IN:
EXT. LAKE - NIGHT
Lizzie is lying on the ground where she fell. She
wakes up and looks around. Jason, Dominic, Beth,
the van -- they're all gone. Lizzie rises to her
feet, unsettled. She is very alone.
LIZZIE
(calling out)
Jason?! Jason?!
Her frightened cries echo into the darkness. There
is no respone. Jason Voorhees is nowhere to be seen.
The surrounding woods seem more ominous and deadly
now. She begins to panic.
LIZZIE
Jason!
Lizzie turns and sees the cabin, standing in the
distance, dark and foreboding. She starts to walk
towards it, but stops when she hears strange noises
coming from inside.
Lizzie turns and quickly moves back toward the road.
The sounds inside the cabin grow louder and more
menacing. She starts to run.
A HAUNTING WIND suddenly rushes through the woods,
engulfing her, pushing her back toward the cabin.
With one last ounce of strength, Lizzie manages to
grab hold of a support beam holding up the cabin's
porch. But it's no use. The old, rotted beam CRACKS
and Lizzie is thrown back into...
INT. CABIN - NIGHT
BOOM! She hits the wall hard! Her body drops to
the floor as the UNEARTHLY WIND pelts her with leaves
and debris. The furniture and other objects in the
room float, swirl and levitate mysteriously, trapped
in the strange, hellish cyclone.
Looking to escape the wind, Lizzie tentatively moves
into...
INT. HALLWAY
We don't know where it goes or how long it is because
it disappears into the darkness.
The winds slam a door shut behind her. Lizzie jumps,
then moves forward cautiously. Suddenly, a shape
emerges from the shadows. It's...
LIZZIE'S MOTHER
Mrs. Daniels rushes forward, wrapping her arms around
her daughter, holding her tight. Lizzie breaks down,
crying in relief.
MRS. DANIELS
Lizzie! Thank God! I've been worried
sick about you. I went to your room,
but you were gone, I didn't know
where...
(breaking down)
Do you know how long it took me to
find you here?
A strange look washes over Lizzie's face. She pulls
back from her mother, staring at her.
LIZZIE
How did you find me here?
Before Mrs. Daniels can answer, we hear
HELLISH NOISES lurking in the shadows. Mrs. Daniels
tightens her hold on Lizzie and fearfully peers into
the darkness.
MRS. DANIELS
Did you hear that? Lizzie, I'm
scared. What is this horrible place?
Lizzie tries to pull away from her mother, but she
won't loosen her grip.
LIZZIE
Let go of me! Let go...
Mrs. Daniels starts to scream.
MRS. DANIELS
Lizzie, please! Stop it! Why are
you doing this to me? To your own
mother!
Suddenly, Mrs. Daniels' body disassembles, becoming
a swarm of thick, translucent, BOSCH-LIKE EEL
CREATURES!
Lizzie screams and fights to tear the eels away
from her body one by one! They each land on the
floor with a SPLAT!
Lizzie looks for a way out, but it's no use. The
eels encircle her, screaming, forcing her up against
the wall. They begin to writhe and squirm, piling
up on top of each other, forming a massive deadly
stack!
Lizzie watches in disbelief as the ghastly horde
organizes and forms into a disgusting human
silhouette. From it's outstretched arm comes a
mass of wriggling fingers, which transform into --
FREDDY'S DEADLY RAZOR CLAW!
Then the rest of the mass changes into --
FREDDY KRUEGER!
He looks at Lizzie and cackles.
FREDDY
Are you scared?
Lizzie shrinks back from Freddy in terror.
Freddy smiles. The flesh on his burn-scarred face
suddenly contorts into a hellish vision far beyond
anyone's comprehension, then quickly snaps back to
"normal".
Lizzie stumbles backward, clutching the wall for
support.
FREDDY
You should be.
Freddy's face erupts once more. Only this time, it
becomes twice the size and twice the horror! He
snaps at Lizzie with his disgusting maw.
She screams as she abandons all caution and tears
off down the darkened hallway.
We PUSH IN on Freddy's face as he laughs maniacally.
Lizzie turns corner after corner, looking over her
shoulder, only to find Freddy is close behind.
Suddenly, the FLOORBOARDS beneath her feet begin to
separate. Lizzie continues to run forward, straddling
the ever-widening floorboards until she loses her
footing.
She screams and falls. Just before she drops through,
she grabs hold and dangles over the dark abyss below.
Suddenly the floorboards begin to CLOSE IN on her,
slamming violently shut, one by one.
Lizzie's hands are only seconds away from being
crushed. She makes a decision to DROP.
Lizzie screams as she FREE-FALLS into the darkness.
INT. NIGHTMARE CHAMBER
Lizzie lands with a crash on an old cobblestone floor.
She's hurt. She rises slowly and tries to make sense
of her new surroundings.
It's almost pitch black.
A dim eerie light filters through the floorboards
above, casting strange shadows on the odd geometric
shapes that fill the room.
Lizzie takes a tentative step to the left. Did a
huge, dark column move in towards her? She takes
a step to her right. Was that a pipe dropping down
behind her? The room seems to be alive. Shapes
move, gliding silently, occasionally repositioning
themselves.
Lizzie's eyes dart around, looking for an escape.
A gust of wind blows open a huge, rusty iron DOOR.
>From the moonlight that filters in, we know this
is a way out.
Lizzie cautiously approaches the door. It backs
away from her.
She takes a few steps closer. The door moves up
off the floor, just beyond her reach. Lizzie is
completely disoriented.
Behind her, we hear a DRIP, DRIP, DRIP...
The fat, disgusting EEL CREATURES squeeze into the
room through a large pipe looming overhead. They
silently ooze to the floor, reassuming Freddy's
original human form.
FREDDY
You shouldn't have come.
Lizzie spins around and sees Freddy. She SCREAMS!
But Freddy is not looking at her. He's looking
past her. Into the shadows.
FREDDY
Think he'll protect you?...
Lizzie chances a look over her shoulder. She sees...
A glint of steel...
JASON VOORHEES slowly moves into the room, machete
dangling at his side, staring at Freddy with
murderous intent.
LIZZIE looks to Jason, hopefully.
FREDDY
...Never!
Freddy and Jason circle each other, cautiously.
Lizzie's relief turns to horror as she realizes
she is trapped between two demons hell-bent on
mutual destruction.
Jason sweeps Lizzie aside and LUNGES at Freddy.
But Freddy DISAPPEARS!
Jason is baffled.
Freddy REAPPEARS behind Lizzie.
Jason charges, bringing up his machete. Freddy
grabs Lizzie, using her as a shield. She SCREAMS
and Jason stops dead in his tracks.
Freddy CACKLES and DISAPPEARS again.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Lizzie's face MORPHS
into Freddy's.
Jason SWINGS!
Lizzie ducks, falling to the floor. But Jason is
right on top of her. As his blade arcs downward,
Lizzie's face TRANSFORMS back to normal! Eyes wide
in terror, she rolls out of the way. Jason's blade
just misses her and hacks deep into the floor.
Freddy REAPPEARS behind them, LAUGHING maniacally.
Lizzie jumps to her feet, backing away from Jason,
SOBBING. Jason is totally confused. He looks from
Freddy to Lizzie, then back to Freddy again.
Jason ROARS and swings at Freddy. But Freddy blocks
the blow with his claw. Metal on metal. Sparks fly!
Jason yanks his machete free, almost taking off
Lizzie's head in the process.
FREDDY
(to Jason)
Don't touch her!
He LASHES OUT with his razors. Lizzie throws up her
hands to protect her face. Freddy SLICES open her
palm. She looks down in shock.
FREDDY
She's mine!
JASON knocks Lizzie aside and lunges at Freddy,
delivering a series of incredible, lightning-fast
blows.
FREDDY amazingly manages to dodge them all!
In one impossible move, Freddy twists his body
around and backhands Jason across the face with his
heavy steel glove, and -- CRACK! We hear the
sickening sound of ligament tearing from bone as
Jason's head twists back at an unnatural angle.
Jason collapses to his knees, broken and near death.
Lizzie is now completely exposed.
Freddy moves in for the death blow and...
WHOOSH! Jason suddenly rears up and buries his
machete deep into Freddy's neck. The blade comes
to an abrupt stop when it hits BONE!
Freddy lets out a dry, raspy, DEATH RATTLE. Then,
he breaks into a broad grin and begins to CACKLE!
FREDDY
You can't kill me!
He slowly steps away from Jason, backing off the
blade.
FREDDY
You can't kill your fear!
Jason stares at his useless machete. Freddy grabs
the blade with his bare hand and yanks. Jason falls
forward, landing chin-first on the cobblestone floor.
Freddy drops down in front of Jason.
FREDDY
Remember our game? The nightmare
game...
He advances his razor claw across the floor like a
spider stalking its prey. The claw suddenly and
amazingly
GROWS BIGGER!
Giant mechanical knives sprout out of the smaller
blades... a nightmare forged of hellish steel!
Jason is mesmerized with terror.
FREDDY
First I scare you...
Freddy clamps his super-claw around Jason's neck.
Lizzie SCREAMS!
FREDDY
...Then you die!
Freddy summons BOILING WATER out of a large tank and
into the air where it hovers as a huge, amorphous,
steaming blob.
He thrusts Jason's head into the mass of churning
water. Jason STRUGGLES.
JASON'S P.O.V.
Freddy's face grossly distorts as he CACKLES
sadistically.
BACK TO SCENE
Freddy turns to Lizzie.
FREDDY
Help him. He's drowning!
LIZZIE
Looks to JASON'S MACHETE, which lies on the ground
at her feet. She does nothing.
FREDDY snorts derisively.
FREDDY
(hissing)
How many people have to die because
of you?
Freddy shoves Jason's entire body into the blob of
water.
He CACKLES and waves his hand with a flourish.
Lizzie reels in shock as icy blue flames erupt and
explode all around her. FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The darkened nightmare chamber illuminates! We
suddenly realize we are in...
INT. FREDDY'S BOILER ROOM
Lizzie SCREAMS as Jason struggles, trapped in the
bubble. His body convulses, then finally GOES LIMP.
Jason's death has pushed Lizzie over the edge.
LIZZIE
NO!
Lizzie snatches up Jason's machete and STRIKES at
Freddy.
RIP! The blade SPLITS OPEN Freddy's arm. Freddy
SCREAMS.
FREDDY
You can't do this! I control the
nightmares!
For the first time, Freddy Krueger is afraid!
Lizzie looks at Freddy's wound, and then into his
eyes, her own fear suddenly replaced with intense
anger.
LIZZIE
This is my nightmare. And in my
nightmare, Freddy does feel pain.
In my nightmare, Freddy bleeds!
Freddy looks down at his wound as BLOOD begins to
POUR forth. He begins a hellish panic.
Lizzie looks with intense concentration at Jason,
floating lifeless in his watery grave. The entire
room begins to shake.
LIZZIE
And in my nightmare, JASON WINS!
Water erupts! Jason CRASHES to the floor. Giant
plumes of steam fill the boiler room as Jason's
body starts to tremble and quake.
JASON RESURRECTS, letting loose an unearthly ROAR!
Every fiber, vein, and muscle in his body explodes
horrifically. He transforms into a hulking, seething,
mutated abomination.
Jason has become the embodiment of Lizzie's pure
and utter rage -- a living nightmare!
LIZZIE turns to Freddy, trembling violently.
LIZZIE
This is where my nightmare ends...
and yours begins!
She looks to her own nightmarish creation.
LIZZIE
TAKE HIM TO YOUR WORLD, JASON!
Jason snatches up Freddy and BELLOWS. The CAMERA
SPIRALS into his cavernous maw.
BLACK
We PULL OUT of a screaming mouth. Now it's FREDDY
KRUEGER'S.
Jason slams him down onto the asphalt road and
raises his MACHETE high into the air.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
As the searing flash of lightning subsides, we
realize that we are...
EXT. DIRT ROAD - NIGHT
We see the van crashed against the tree. This is
the same place where Lizzie injected herself with
Somnambulene.
Lizzie is standing over Freddy. She stares down
at him, shuddering with anger.
LIZZIE
Welcome to your nightmare.
Freddy scrambles to his feet and turns around in
time to see Jason SLICING him across the chest.
A giant spiral of blood arcs through the air.
Freddy HOWLS in pain.
Sinister orchestral music kicks in. It's Jason's
infamous STALKING THEME!
JA-JA-JA-JA-SO-SO-SO-SON... KILL-KILL-KILL-KILL...
Freddy runs. Jason attacks. His machete just misses
Freddy and connects with a TREE. It explodes!
Freddy tears into the foreboding woods, ripping
through thick, gnarled trees and thorny brambles.
Jason roars forward, coming on like a freight train
from hell. He swings his machete, annihilating
everything in his path. He snatches up a large ROCK
and hurls it at Freddy's head.
The rock rips past Freddy and BOOM! It explodes
against a sheer wall of granite.
Then, Jason sends an even bigger rock sailing
through the air...
CRACK! The rock connects with the back of Freddy's
head. He goes down hard. Jason is on top of Freddy
in an instant.
He picks Freddy up and slams him into the ground,
pummeling his with his bare hands.
We've never seen Freddy suffer like this before.
He tries to fight back, swinging his super-claw,
SCREAMING like a banshee.
But Jason is too monstrous! Too quick! Too powerful!
Freddy suffers a series of catastrophic, crippling
blows, which only one monster could possibly take
from another.
Jason grabs Freddy and lifts him over his head.
Freddy SCREAMS and struggles against Jason's grip.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
Suddenly, Freddy tears one arm free and PLUNGES his
razor claw deep into Jason's neck. Jason HOWLS
and stumbles backwards.
We suddenly realize that both monsters stand at the
edge of a dangerous precipice.
LOW ANGLE
>From the bottom of the ravine, looking up, we see
Jason and Freddy start to tumble over the edge.
Jason quickly reaches out and grabs hold of a branch
growing out of a huge, rotted-out tree. He swings out
over the ravine. Freddy barely manages to hold on.
Suddenly, Freddy's razor claw rips loose from Jason's
neck. Freddy DROPS. At the last possible second...
He desperately STABS HIS CLAW into Jason's thickly
muscled calf. Now, he dangles over the sharp rocks
below.
Jason HOWLS and tries to shake Freddy loose. The
tree's ancient roots start to rip from the ground
under the combined weight of the two monsters.
The branch Jason is holding SNAPS! Jason and Freddy
FREE FALL, then SLAM into hard earth, missing the
deadly rocks by mere inches.
KERRR-RACK!
They both look up to see the giant tree trunk tear
free of the cliff-side. It comes plummeting toward
them end-over-end.
Freddy rolls out of the way just as the massive trunk
slams into Jason, driving him into the earth.
Freddy staggers back, disappearing into the shadows.
Jason struggles, pinned under the weight of the tree.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
Jason ROARS, throws the tree from his chest, and jumps
to his feet. He looks around... but Freddy is gone.
EXT. LAKE
Jason STALKS past the black waters of the lake,
looking for Freddy.
The only sounds we can hear are the beating of Jason's
heart and wind rattling the rotted out timbers of
an old boathouse. Jason approaches the wooden
structure...
BOOM!
Freddy BURSTS through the wall!
In a shower of splintering wood, Freddy drives his
razor claw deep into Jason's chest! He clamps his
hand around Jason's heart.
Jason CRIES OUT, drops his machete, and begins to
SHRINK BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL SIZE, his look of anger
and rage slowly giving way to one of fear.
He freezes as Freddy tightens his grip and stares
deep into his eyes.
FREDDY
I can feel your heart beating
faster, Jason. Are you afraid?
Freddy forces Jason to take a step back. Jason reels
in agony as Freddy controls his every movement by
twisting and squeezing his heart. He backs Jason
onto an...
OLD, RICKETY DOCK
FREDDY
Goodbye, Jason.
Freddy lets loose an insane CACKLE.
FREDDY
I killed you once, I'll kill you
again. Only this time... it's
forever!
LIZZIE (O.S.)
JASON!!!
ANGLE ON
Lizzie hurls the MACHETE. It sails toward the two
monsters, end-over-end.
FREDDY watches in disbelief as the huge blade spins
toward them.
JASON snatches the machete out of the air and gives
Freddy a massive shove.
FREDDY tumbles backwards and...
RIPS JASON'S HEART OUT!
FREDDY slowly turns to face LIZZIE. Her face washes
with horror when she sees Jason's still-beating heart
clutched in his razor glove. Freddy CACKLES
triumphantly, but--
JASON HASN'T GONE DOWN!
With one final burst of rage, JASON ROARS and plunges
his big BLADE deep into Freddy's back. It thrusts
straight through Freddy's chest and toward camera.
FREDDY looks down in shock at the blade slicing
through him.
JASON lifts Freddy high into the air, skewered on
his massive blade! Freddy struggles, writhing in
horrific pain.
Jason's face distorts with anger as his eyes burn
into Freddy. He opens his mouth -- but he doesn't
roar. He doesn't bellow. He doesn't howl...
HE FINALLY SPEAKS.
JASON VOORHEES
FREDDY'S DEAD!
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
LIZZIE watches, transfixed, as Freddy deliquesces
into a hideous, foul, bubbling, nightmarish GOB.
FREDDY KRUEGER IS NO MORE.
A huge BOLT OF LIGHTNING hits the dock. BOOM! Wood
explodes! It cracks in half! The far end of the
dock starts to sink under Jason's massive weight.
JASON falls backwards into the lake, the huge hole
in his chest filling with water as he disappears
into the murky depths.
CAMERA PUSHES in on Lizzie. A strange smile slowly
creeps across her face.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!
CUT TO BLACK.
