JIMMY:

So am I! I'm gonna rip your cock off

Marliston!

LEONARD:

Touch�'

Leonard winds back, slashes at Jimmy, lopping off his dick. Blood flies

up, splatters across Jimmy's face. Jimmy screams. Leonard slashes open his

neck. Blood splatters everywhere, on kid's backs, faces, butts.

His girlfriend screams as Jimmy falls to the ground, dying.

Leonard begins to panic. So do the kids. Leonard sees Jody across the room

and starts toward her as the other kids in the room rise to their feet and

stampede the f*** out of dodge like a herd of frightened elephants.

INT. DIFFERENT BEDROOM

Kids in other rooms hear the commotion and break their embraces.

BOY(O.C.)

Run! Mr. Marliston's here!

And he's horny!

Panic sweeps through the whole party. Everyone wants out.

INT. BEDROOM

Leonard can't get to Jody because too many kids are trying to get out the

bedroom door, pushing toward it, sweeping him up in their flow. It has

turned quickly into chaos with a teenage logjam at the door.

Leonard keeps his eyes pinned on Jody across the room, through the bodies.

He can't make headway so he raises the razor to slash way to her. Jody

sees him raise the razor.

JODY:

No!

Leonard starts slashing his way toward Jody. He slashes a girl across the

stomach, a boy across the face, a girl across the breasts. It's a

bloodbath, everyone's screaming.

KIDS' bodies fall to the ground, tripping people, creating even more

chaos.

Leonard loses his balance and is pushed to the ground as kids stampede

over him.

INT. MASTER BEDROOM

Jody and Kenny try to make it to the door.

Leonard tries to get up but he can't. He starts crawling toward Jody,

slashing the legs of a couple of kids who are in his way, sending them to

the ground. One kid does a back flip through a glass coffee table,

exploding it, sending a shard of glass out his throat. Blood sprays across

the ceiling like a lawn sprinkler.

Through the sea of legs, Leonard sees Jody's leg, the 'VIR' still freshly

carved. He slashes his way towards Jody.

EXT. HOUSE

Half naked kids come streaming out of the house, it's a bizarre sight.

Some of them stop and scream, noticing the deputy (his body has been hung

upside down from a telephone pole, and disemboweled). The house is almost

bursting as kids climb out the windows and appear from the back.

INT. STAIRWELL

Too many kids are trying to get out at one. The staircase and all the

hallways start totally backed up but all the kids keep pushing forward.

Something's got to give.

INT. BEDROOM

Leonard keeps crawling toward Jody, getting closer and closer. He

scrunches over Jimmy's severed penis, staining his khakis with gore.

LEONARD:

Come on! These are eighty dollar

INDEPENDENT khakis! Limited Edition!

God damn it!

INT. STAIRWELL

The pushing continues. There's nowhere to go. A boy gets pushed over the

balcony, falling to the ground below.

INT. BEDROOM

Leonard is just a few feet from Jody's leg.

Jody and Kenny push closer to the door.

Leonard reaches for Jody's leg. He can't quite grab it.

Kenny and Jody reach the door. They're almost out. Leonard lungs and grabs

Jody's leg.

Jody screams out in pain, falls into the crowd.

JODY:

Kenny!

Kenny tries to grab for her but he can't reach her. The force of the mob

pushes him out the door, through the vortex.

INT. UPSTAIRS

Kids jam the staircase. There's too many trying to get down at once.

Everyone's

still pushing. The kids on the staircase can't keep their position and

start falling forward, pushing harder.

INT. BEDROOM

Leonard keeps hold of Jody's leg and pulls her toward him.

EXT. BALCONEY

Kenny tries to get back to Jody but there's no way he can make headway

back into that room.

KENNY:

Jody?!

The staircase is now jammed with people, starts to buckle.

The banister breaks. Kids start falling off the balcony and staircase,

onto kids below, CRACKING SKULLS, breaking bones.

INT. DOWNSTAIRS

Lamps smash to the ground. Tables are trampled. Basically, the entire

inside of the house is destroyed in the stampede which puts something out

of f***ing JUMANJI to shame.

INT. BEDROOM

Leonard gets hold of Jody's waist and pulls her towards him, razor ready.

INT. UPSTAIRS CORRIDOR

Everyone gives one final push out. Kenny is swept on to the staircase. It

can't take the pressure and finally cracks.

Kids tumble on top of each other falling to the floor below as the

staircase splinters. Hurt kids are everywhere as more and more get pushed

over the edge. It's a disaster. Broken boned teenagers litter the floor

like it were a battlefield.

Kenny manages to grab hold of the second floor as kids fall past him.

The whole house begins to buckle.

INT. BEDROOM

The room empties as the kids push out. Leonard pulls Jody up next to him

and puts the razor to her neck. He draws the first spot of blood.

JODY:

Please! You wouldn't kill your

sister, would you?

LEONARD:

You think you're my sister?

INT. STAIRCASE

Kenny manages to pull himself back up to the second floor.

INT. BEDROOM

Jody turns to look at LEONARD as Kenny appears in the doorway.

JODY:

We have the same color eyes.

He looks into her eyes.

LEONARD:

You're right. We do.

Leonard stares at Jody for a moment, relaxing his grip, giving Kenny just

the break he needs to dive for Leonard's arm, surprising him, knocking him

over. They struggle for the razor but Leonard overpowers him and grabs it,

cutting his own hand. He turns and slices Kenny down the side, cutting him

deep.

Kenny fights off the pain and leaps on Leonard's back, grabbing his arm

around the neck.

Leonard stands up and twirls around, trying to knock Kenny off his back,

smashing him into walls.

Kenny screams in pain, but doesn't let go, pulling at Leonard's face and

throat.

Leonard spins faster.

JODY struggles to her feet, holding her neck, still losing a little blood.

Kenny's grips start to slip as Leonard reaches back, to slice him across

the face and neck.

LEONARD, backs up towards the window, slips over a dildo. He screams,

loses his grip on Kenny, goes crashing out the second story window.

EXT. HOUSE

Leonard crashes to the ground below, landing on his back on the front

steps.

INT. BEDROOM

Jody looks out after him. He looks up to her. Their eyes meet.

EXT. HOUSE

KIDS start circling Leonard.

Leonard gets to his knees, still holding the razor. They start taunting

him.

BOY 1

It's the freak!

The kids inch closer to Leonard.

GIRL 1

He's still got the blade!

One kid kicks him. Leonard slashes at the kid, but misses. Another boy

kicks the knife out of his hands. A third picks it up.
