Freddy vs. Jason Page #6

JESSE:

I thought you were in the cult?

STORMIE:

I was in the cult for a week cause

my boyfriend at the time... Slasher,

he was. But I just liked the music

and the clothes... when they were

clean, but not like the violence

and stuff. But that was just my

"cult" phase... but I got past that.

You know, just like my "gang" phase

when I was dating Ramon and then

before that was my "death rock"

phase when I was dating Stuart...

JESSE:

Uh, excuse me... but what phase

are we in now?

STORMIE:

Militant feminist, man-hating phase,

what's it f***in' to ya?!

JESSE:

(to Meagan)

Why don't you just let the cops find

her? That guy Renton Murdoch -- he

knows how to deal with these cultist

psychos. He was the man who got Jason

Voorhees.

MEAGAN:

That guy in my dreams...

STORMIE:

Jason kicked his ass.

QUICK CUT TO:

EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE - SOME YEARS AGO - NIGHT

Jesse narrates a short, fuzzy, silent flashback as

younger-looking Renton Murdoch is BLASTING away at

Jason in panic.

JESSE:

(V.O.)

Well... yeah. But Murdoch put

thirteen bullets in Jason before

he hacked his head open.

Jason cleaves Murdoch's head with a machete. Murdoch

staggers back, raising his pistol.

JESSE:

(V.O.,

continuing)

But even with his head hacked open

and his brains leaking out, Murdoch

still managed to put his last bullet

in Jason's eye.

Murdoch FIRES, the bullet SMACKING Jason in the eye.

Thick blood runs down the hockey mask as Murdoch's

body hits the ground.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM-

Murdoch lays in a bed, his head covered in bandages.

Tubes and hoses running everywhere to all sorts of

medical contraptions.

STORMIE:

(V.O.)

Well, one of my mom's boyfriends

worked at the hospital where they

took him. He said that Murdoch lost

more than half his brain and what

little that was left was all twisted

up inside. And they had to replace

his skull with a metal plate to

keep that from leaking out.

In a series of quick cuts we move in close on Murdoch's

eyes -- dark and menacing -- staring out at us.

STORMIE:

(V.O.,

continuing)

They say he hasn't been the same

since.

CUT BACK TO:

INT. STORMIE'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS ACTION

JESSE:

So what's different about him?

STORMIE:

One thing... he used to be a

Democrat. Now he votes straight

Republican.

MEAGAN:

I think he thinks Lizzy joined the

cult or something.

STORMIE:

Oh, my God... he'll kill her.

MEAGAN:

I've got to find Lizzy myself. I've

got to find her and save her from

Freddy before that crazy cop kills

her.

JESSE:

Just where are you going to look?

I mean, these cult guys could be

holding her anywhere.

MEAGAN:

Murdoch said something about going

to talk to somebody named Erwin.

STORMIE:

Erwin Kelper! He used to be in the

Freddy cult! I bet he knows where

they took Lizzy!

JESSE:

Not Squirmin' Erwin -- that freak

that used to eat bugs?

STORMIE:

(annoyed)

Who else?

(to Meagan; bright)

Erwin is scary smart -- always brought

home "A"s -- but he was kinda f***ed

up, too... I mean, who isn't really?

Anyway, he quit the cult a few months

back and the cops put him away for

his own safety. They say Freddy's

put a death hex on Erwin.

JESSE:

A death hex?

STORMIE:

Yes, a death hex. You know... where

someone wants you dead!

MEAGAN:

Where is he?

CUT TO:

EXT. SPRINGWOOD MENTAL CENTER - AFTERNOON

Jesse, Meagan, and Stormie pull past the large sign

and into the parking lot. As Jesse puts the car in

park, Meagan turns to him and says:

MEAGAN:

I want you to stay here.

JESSE:

Why?

MEAGAN:

Don't be mad... it's just that you

might scare him.

JESSE:

Scare him?

STORMIE:

What she's subtly trying to tell

you is that this needs a woman's

gentle touch... butthead.

MEAGAN:

Just stay here... okay?

Jesse grudgingly agrees. Meagan kisses Jesse on the

cheek. Stormie sticks her tongue out at him, then

turns as she and Meagan walk toward the main entrance.

INT. SPRINGWOOD MENTAL CENTER - MOMENTS LATER

The CRIES of the insane echo through the building as

the SECURITY GUARD escorts Meagan and Stormie down a

row of cell doors. He stops at one, tapping lightly

on the glass.

SECURITY GUARD:

Yo, Erwin... you've got a couple

of visitors. Now be a good boy...

(to Meagan & Stormie)

You've got five minutes. I'll be

right down the hall if you need me.

The guard exits. Meagan and Stormie peer through the

thick window -- Erwin's padded cell appears vacant.

They exchange anxious looks, then Meagan presses a

little closer to the glass.

MEAGAN:

Erwin...?

SPLAT! -- ERWIN suddenly presses his horribly burned

face to the glass as he screams:

ERWIN:

SHOW ME YOUR ARMS! YOUR ARMS!

Meagan and Stormie jump back, startled. Then they

quickly bare their arms, turning them over for Erwin's

inspection.

ERWIN:

(continuing)

Where do you shoot?

MEAGAN:

Shoot?

STORMIE:

He's talking about dream dope --

the stuff the cultists shoot up

with so they can talk to Freddy.

MEAGAN:

I don't do drugs.

ERWIN:

You're not in the cult?

MEAGAN:

No.

ERWIN:

Didn't Freddy send you to kill me?

MEAGAN/STORMIE

No.

ERWIN:

I don't trust you... better take off

your clothes so I can check you for

tracks.

STORMIE:

Chill, Erwin. We're here for some

hard data -- not a floppy disk.

Erwin flops the arms of his straight jacket, gesturing

to the inside of his cell -- empty except for a small

mattress.

ERWIN:

Well, what do you want? Can't you

see I'm busy?

MEAGAN:

Freddy's cult kidnapped my sister.

STORMIE:

I told her you might know where

they took her.

ERWIN:

I already told the cops everything

I know.

MEAGAN:

Tell me... please.

ERWIN:

Look... I'm sorry about your sister,

but I've got my own problems with

Freddy. I'm a marked man, you know.

MEAGAN:

Then tell me why they took her...

ERWIN:

To bear his child. Freddy wants to

be human again. In order to do that

he has to be "reborn".

MEAGAN:

How can he do that?

ERWIN:

He has to marry a virgin on holy

ground. Then the cult consumate

the marriage by impregnating her.

STORMIE:

The whole cult? Yeech!

ERWIN:

Freddy's the son of a hundred maniacs.

It's sort of a tradition with him.

MEAGAN:

So the cult gets Lizzy pregnant?

ERWIN:

And Freddy enters the soul of the

fetus through a dream state. Voila!

Rebirth.

There is a moment as the girls take this in, then:

STORMIE:

That's the stupidest sh*t I ever

heard.

ERWIN:

Hey, they're not my rules... some-

body else wrote 'em.

MEAGAN:

Erwin... you've got to help me find

Lizzy. You're my only hope.

Erwin thinks about this for a second, then:

ERWIN:

I'll help you find your sister, but

you've got to help me.

MEAGAN:

Anything. Just name it.

ERWIN:

You have to help me kill Freddy.

Meagan and Stormie exchange looks.

STORMIE:

But Freddy's dead.

ERWIN:

Freddy lives...

(looks at Meagan)

If only in our dreams.

Stormie grabs Meagan by the arm and starts to pull

her away.

STORMIE:

Come on, Meagan... our five minutes

is up. He's giving me the creeps.

But Meagan stays put and asks Erwin:

MEAGAN:

How can you kill a dream?
