Friday the 13th Page #4

In a final desperate move, ANNIE drives into the underbrush to

escape.

The Jeep skids to a stop.

CUT TO:

25 EXT. ROADSIDE/WOODS - DAY

The CAMERA becomes the DRIVER and chases into the thicket.

Branches and briars snap back at us. Just ahead, the terror-

stuck ANNIE stumbles and falls. She screams as a knife flashes

past her in a blur.

When the knife has passed, all we can see is a look of surprise

on ANNIE's face.

The CAMERA PULLS BACK. Her throat has been cut. She collapses

out of FRAME.

A bird soars across the sky above.

The TRACK is SILENT.

CUT TO:

26 EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY

A gaily decorated camper-van travels along the highway. We

hear rock 'n roll OVER coming from a car radio as this much-in-

need-of-repair vehicle passes a slower car.

CUT TO:

27 INT. CAMPER VAN - DAY

In the camper van are three young people. They are full of

fun, fresh and expectant as they head towards Crystal Lake.

They are instantly likeable.

At the wheel is NED, a short 22-year-old whose well-developed

upper body is a tribute to his weight-lifting. He is nice-

looking, a joker who is always trying to get some attraction.

He is funny and alert.

Next to him is JACK, an athlete whose clean-cut look is as

American as popcorn. He is quieter, two years younger and not

as smart as NED. He has to think things through.

MARCIE is JACK's girlfriend. She is leaning over the front

passenger seat so she can messenger JACK's shoulders.

She is a funny girl, pretty, and always looking for fun. She

enjoys every minute of every day. She hasn't been touched by

tragedy.

MARCIE:

Sex is all you ever think of, Neddy.

NED:

There you are dead wrong.

JACK:

Ha!

NED:

Sometimes I only think about kissing

women.

MARCIE finds a sore spot on JACK's back.

JACK:

Ow!

NED:

I was just wondering if you thought

there'd by any other gorgeous women at

Camp Crystal Lake. Besides yourself.

MARCIE:

You are a true pierce of work, Ned.

MARCIE hits NED on the arms, playfully.

MARCIE:

(continuing)

How about our last jay?

JACK:

Good call.

JACK reaches into the glove compartment and comes out with a

joint.

NED:

What about the dope paragraph in Mr.

Christy's letter?

JACK:

Quote:
Controlled substances are

expressly forbidden. Possession or use

of marijuana or alcohol on campgrounds

will means instant dismissal. Unquote.

MARCIE:

We got two weeks before the kids even

arrive. Then I'll act responsibly.

Until then, hit me.

She takes the lighted joint and tokes.

CUT TO:

28 EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE ENTRANCE - DAY

The van turns past the sign that reads:

CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE--Established 1935

CUT TO:

29 INT. VAN - DAY

MARCIE is wide-eyed, looking at the lush surroundings.

MARCIE:

It's beautiful...

NED:

Yeah, and it also look like it hasn't

seen a coat of paint in six years.

CUT TO:

30 EXT. CAMP DRIVE - DAY

The CAMERA SEES what NED saw. The buildings are run down at

the heels. It is the same camp we saw in the early scenes, but

time has torn the place badly.

The van passes the CAMERA and we see the three new ARRIVALS

looking out the window.

CUT TO:

31 EXT. MAIN CAMP AREA - DAY

This is the main building. It is the building where Barry and

Claudette met. Outside is a flagpole, a small parking area, a

large overhanging tree.

In the BG we can see part of the lake.
