EXT. WOODS
Stacy's right hand is raised above her head and placed, palm out, against
a tree trunk.
EXT. WOODS
Rod searches for Stacy, his flashlight jaggedly cutting the darkness.
EXT. WOODS
The huge nail, extremely sharp and jagged, is placed in the center of
Stacy's outstretched palm.
The hammer is pulled back, aimed at the head of the nail.
EXT. WOODS
Rod stops and frantically looks around, knowing he's fighting a losing
battle.
ROD:
Stacy?!
EXT. WOODS
The hammer descends on the nail.
Stacy screams out in pain, even through the gag, as he hand is nailed to
the tree.
EXT. WOODS
Rod hears her muffled cry and runs toward the sound.
Stacy's left hand is now placed up against a different tree.
Another nail is readied.
Stacy tries to free her nailed hand but it's useless. She goes into shock.
Rod's flashlight continues to cut through the night. His feet trample
fallen branches. Suddenly, he stops. He's found her.
Stacy is stretched out between two trees, gagged, one hand nailed to each
tree. She almost looks crucified.
Rod, starts toward her, not sure what to do. He looks into Stacy's
terrified eyes. She's looking behind him.
Rod quickly turns around but he's too late.
A knife comes plunging down toward Rod's chest.
Stacy frantically tries to free herself but she only succeeds in ripping
her palms on the nails.
Rod falls to his knees, blood streaming from his chest and mouth.
Stacy can't even react anymore, she's so horrified.
The killer's hand rips open Stacy's shirt and feels her soft ripe stomach.
Stacy looks down, terrified of what the killer has planned.
A small but extremely sharp razor attached to the end of a pencil is
placed up against Stacy's bare stomach. The killer's hand grips it like
it's an ordinary pencil.
Stacy's eyes grow abnormally wide as the carving starts. She's never
experienced such pain.
Blood drips to the ground.
Dissolve to:
EXT. NIGHT SKY
The full moon looks down on the town.
Another romantic turn off. A view from the top of a hill overlooking the
sleepy town. A lonely car sits there, the sound of a teenage couple making
out drifting through it's steamed up windows. It's almost a repeat of the
first scene.
INT. CAR
The boy pulls his hand from under the girl's shirt and unsnaps her jeans.
She pushes his hand away but he puts it right back, wriggling a finger
down into her pants.
JODY MARKEN, a pretty all-American sixteen year old girl, strong willed
but still innocent, stops kissing her boyfriend KENNY, trying to hold him
off. Kenny is also sixteen. He's thin and a bit shaggy, but very cute
nonetheless. His hair is shoulder length, his stare intense. He takes
himself seriously, all rebel.
JODY:
Cut it out.
KENNY:
Why?
JODY:
I was supposed to be home
fifteen minutes ago.
KENNY:
So? You're already late.
A few more minutes won't
matter.
He slides a second finger into her pants. She closes her legs, making his
probing much more difficult.
JODY:
I got to get home.
KENNY:
F*** your curfew. Most
sixth graders can stay out
later than you.
JODY:
Kenny....
She pulls his hand out of her pants. He stares at her for a second,
completely exasperated. He sits up and starts the car.
The car squeals away.
INT. CAR
Jody and Kenny drive home, not talking.
He pulls up in front of her house.
KENNY:
JODY:
What?
KENNY:
Jody, we've been going out
for over a year. I love you
but I'm all out of patience.
Jody doesn't know what to say. She didn't expect this.
EXT. MARKEN HOUSE
Jody gets out of the car, very upset. Kenny takes off, not even waiting to
see if she gets inside safely, leaving her all alone on the dark street. A
car backfires in the distance. A nearby noise startles her. Something's
behind the garbage cans. She heads quickly up the driveway, disappearing
behind the house.
INT. MARKEN'S HOUSE - BACK FOYER
All is quiet in the house. The back door opens. Jody tiptoes up back
staircase.
INT. MARKEN'S HOUSE
Jody appears on the second floor. It's a family house, politely decorated
and immaculately clean. She quietly creeps down the hallway toward her
room. As she passes her parents' room, she looks down. She's relieved that
no light is coming from under their door.
INT. JODY'S BEDROOM
Jody creeps into her bedroom and quietly shuts the door. She's made it.
She sits on the bed to catch her breath.
Something moves in the corner of her room. Jody jumps, scared.
Someone is sitting in her rocking chair.
BRENT:
It's almost ten o'clock.
JODY:
Daddy you scared me!
BRENT:
JODY:
BRENT MARKEN gets up and heads to the door. He's a big man, 45 years old,
well built. He's dressed in a tree-shirt and jeans.
BRENT:
Your curfew is 9:30 and you
know it, little miss.
JODY:
It won't happen again.
BRENT:
You said that two weeks ago.
JODY:
Dad ! Most of my friends can
stay out until 11 on school nights
and 1 on weekends!
BRENT:
They're not all the sheriff's daughter.
Goodnight.
He leaves. Jody is furious. She lies down on the bed to stew. She might at
well have stayed out. The phone in the hallway rings. She leaps up.
INT. HALLWAY
Jody runs up to the phone but waits for it to ring a second time before
picking it up. She crosses her fingers, praying it's Kenny.
JODY:
Hello. (beat) One second.
(to her dad)
Hey Adolph, it's the station!
Brent comes out and picks up the phone as Jody heads back to her room,
disappointed.
INT. BEDROOM
Jody flops on the bed.
BRENT(O.C.)
Hello. (beat) What?
INT. HALLWAY
Brent it shocked.
BRENT:
Where?
MARGE MARKEN, Jody's mother, comes out of the bedroom, sensing something
terrible has happened. Marge is a couple of years older than Brent. She's
a bit lifeless, a pretty woman who's whole life is her daughter and a
bottle of Peachtree Schnapps.
BRENT(CONT'D)
I'm on my way.
INT. JODY'S
Jody sits up on her bed, also sensing something big has happened.
INT. HALLWAY
Brent buttons up his shirt.
MARGE:
What happened?
BRENT:
Two kids were found mutilated
in the woods. Lock the door
after me.
