Friday the 13th Page #21

MRS. VOORHEES has gone through some subtle changes. While her

voice remains warm and comforting, her face has started to slip

into her other manifestation. All of this is in concert with

the visibility of her weapon.

MRS. VOORHEES

It was my son they killed. They said he

drowned, but I know it was inadequate

supervision...

ALICE starts to become increasingly anxious. She can't see the

knife rise behind her.

ALICE:

Mr. Christy will be back soon.

MRS. VOORHEES shakes her head from side to side.

MRS. VOORHEES

No, he won't. I killed him as well....

The shock of recognition hits ALICE. In CU her eyes look up

and see the knife which MRS. VOORHEES now has poised and ready

to strike.

ALICE bolts off the couch and stumbles backwards into the

fireplace, scattering ashes and sparks.

MRS. VOORHEES stands and steps forward.

MRS. VOORHEES

(continuing)

I couldn't let them start this camp

again, could I?

ALICE, in panic, looks for an escape. She grabs the fireplace

poker.

ALICE:

I won't let you!

ALICE swings the poker back and forth.

ALICE:

(continuing)

No! No! No!

MRS. VOORHEES raises her arm to slash downward with the knife.

ALICE swings the poker hard to MRS. VOORHEES' other arm and rib

cage.

MRS. VOORHEES is in pain, her face a mask of rage.

ALICE drops the poker to run for the door.

MRS. VOORHEES hesitates for a moment, then follows ALICE

deliberately.

Lightning goes off followed quickly by thunder.

CUT TO:

123 EXT. MAIN CABIN/TREE - NIGHT

ALICE gets to the door and stops. She fiddles with the side of

the screen... somebody has latched it.

CLOSER on ALICE, taking one look over her shoulder, kicks at

the door, snapping the latch.

ANOTHER ANGLE:
as ALICE runs out into the rain, the mud, the

thunder and the lightning. The THEME is going full-tilt as

ALICE makes a quick turn to run towards the road.

TWO-SHOT:
as ALICE bumps into an object which swings from

above. A slice of lightning reveals it to be the dead body of

STEVE CHRISTY hanging from the tree. A rope is looped under

his arms, his head is down on his chest, and a long blade

protrudes from his heart.

REACTION SHOT:
ALICE in terror.

ANOTHER ANGLE:
ALICE runs and suddenly bumps into another pair

of legs which swing from the same big tree.

STROBE SHOT:
of JACK, dead.

ANOTHER ANGLE:
ALICE runs for the Arts & Crafts. In the BG we

see can the yellow-slickered MRS. VOORHEES closing the distance

between herself and ALICE.

CUT TO:

124 EXT. ARTS & CRAFTS CABIN - NIGHT

ALICE runs for the door, slams through it.

The CAMERA waits for MRS. VOORHEES, but she does not appear.

CUT TO:

125 EXT. GENERATOR SHACK - NIGHT

MRS. VOORHEES runs to the door and opens it quickly.

CUT TO:

126 INT. ARTS & CRAFTS CABIN - NIGHT

ALICE is hiding in the shadows behind a table. We hear the

SOUNDS of the generator starting outside and suddenly three

bright overhead lights come on.

ALICE looks across the room to the light switch, afraid to

reveal her hiding place.

She looks for an escape. There's a window. She starts for it,

then stops and turns and dives under an arts & crafts table.

ANOTHER ANGLE:
MRS. VOORHEES opens the door and walks in a few

feet.

She carries a machete in her hand. We see this instrument in

CU as we hear OVER the sound of her son, JASON, calling to her.

JASON (V.O.)

Help, mommy, I'm drowning! Oh, mommy,

please....

The CAMERA PANS UP to her face and we see that the voice of

JASON is coming from within her in LIP SYNC. She is both

characters--though the child's voice is authentically dubbed.

ALICE can just make out what is happening and can hear the

VOICE OF JASON.

ALICE is very still. Her eyes widen as she listens to MRS.

VOORHEES rave.

JASON (Lipsync)

Don't let me die, mommy... I can't

breathe... Help me, breathe...

MRS. VOORHEES is having trouble catching her own breath. She

strokes her throat with her free hand and the voice of the

child stops.

MRS. VOORHEES

(in her own voice)

I can't let them kill any more children.

Come out now.

She wades through table after table, pushing them out of her

way with the strength she has demonstrated throughout as the

PROWLER.

When MRS. VOORHEES is too quick for her, shoving a table across

her path like a barred door. Before ALICE can think twice,

MRS. VOORHEES has shoved a second table in behind her so that

now ALICE is sandwiched between them.

She can duck down or climb over or come out the only open end--

the end where MRS. VOORHEES is standing.

ALICE looks behind her and sees a shelf. On the shelf is a box.

MRS. VOORHEES is coming down the aisle between the two tables.

Her machete is coming up in an attack.

ALICE reaches into the box in CU and pulls out a handful of

leather-working tools. She hurls them at MRS. VOORHEES as hard

as she can.

MRS. VOORHEES has to put her arms up to ward off the spinning

knives. One cuts her under the eye and she lets out a low

animal bellow.

ALICE leaps up, climbs over the table and runs for the door.

MRS. VOORHEES shoves the tables over and hurries after her.

ALICE gets to the door, shuts off the light switch and runs out.

We can hear JASON'S VOICE.

JASON (V.O.)

Kill her, mommy! Kill her!

CUT TO:

127 EXT. CAMP GROUNDS/EQUIP. SHED - NIGHT

The central area is bathed in light. The rain has stopped.

MRS. VOORHEES has turned on all the flood-lights.

ALICE runs to the corner of one of the cabins. She stops to

look back. MRS. VOORHEES is gaining on her.

ALICE runs to the equipment shed.

ANOTHER ANGLE:
The door is thrown back. ALICE goes in. Looks

for a weapon. Nothing is available. ALICE sobs with fear.

She runs.

MRS. VOORHEES passes the equipment shed.
