Halloween H20 Page #21

CARTER:

Goddamnit!

Carter runs back to the patrol car, followed by Deputy Clark.

DEPUTY CLARK:

(calling off)

Call for back-up!

A flurry of action as OFFICERS clear the roadblocks, get on

the radio and call for back-up...

Carter and Deputy Clark climb into the patrol car, headed for

the school...

Carter grabs his walkie-talkie, barks into it --

CARTER:

Blake, what's going on up there!

CUT TO:

INT. BEDROOM - SAME TIME

ON BLAKE'S WALKIE-TALKIE

still hooked to the side of her lifeless body...

CARTER (O.S.)

Blake! Do you hear me? Blake!

CUT TO:

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - SAME TIME

VARIOUS SHOTS of the empty campus. Keri moves brazenly

across school grounds, looking for the big brother....

As she passes the bell tower, she sees --

A SHADOW:

move inside the gymnasium... she quickly approaches --

INT. GYMNASIUM

Keri moves inside the decorated gym... stops at a

FIRE AXE:

hanging behind glass... she picks up a plastic skull, smashes

the glass with it... grabs the AXE and continues inside...

CLICK!

The lights go out... the gym now eerily illuminated only by

carved pumpkins lit around its perimeter.

Keri continues on, bravely... the fire axe tightly in her

grip.

KERI:

(calling off)

Let's ends this right now. You

want to kill me to fulfill your

twisted obsession, then go ahead.

I'm tired of playing hide-and-

seek, brother. Come on, finish

what you started, you miserable

f***.

CLANG-CLANG-CLANG!

Keri jumps... the gymnasium floor beneath her begins to move,

closing back over the pool...

Keri continues to move alongside the pool, when --

THE SHAPE:

jumps from the bleachers, buries a knife deep into Keri's

arm... she SCREAMS in pain... drops the fire axe into the

pool.

The Shape pulls the knife from Keri's arm, stands above

her... he raises the knife high into the air, about to plunge

it straight into Keri's heart, when --

BANG! A BULLET BURROWS INTO THE SHAPE'S SHOULDER.

Spins him around, comes face-to-face with...

JOHN:

standing behind him, wielding Keri's SMITH AND WESSON. The

SHAPE moves toward him.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

JOHN empties the chamber into the Shape, thrust him

backward...

THE SHAPE:

falls into the pool, pulls Keri into the water with him...

KERI:

struggles to climb out of the pool, the Shape fights to pull

her back in....

THE SHAPE:

finds the axe, swings at Keri... slice open her thigh.

JOHN:

grabs Keri by the arms, manages to pull her out.

THE SHAPE:

strives to climb out of the water as the gym floor continues

to close... he swings the axe, buries the blade into the gym

floor... grabs the handle, uses it to pull himself out...

KERI:

grabs a JAVELIN hanging on the wall...

THE SHAPE:

pulls his upper torso out of the water just as

KERI:

raises the javelin high into the air, when --

CLOSE ON:
THE SHAPE

Reaches out for her... then, a sound altogether unnatural --

THE SHAPE:

(a desperate plea)

Laurie...

Time stands still -- TOTAL SILENCE.

ON KERI. All the love and loss of the past twenty years

plays all over her face, when --

KERI:

Michael...

(then)

Go to hell!

KERI:

plunges the javelin through his body with all her might,

pierces his heart... the javelin juts out of his back.

THE SHAPE:

arches his back in pain, grabs the metal rod... tries

desperately to remove it, sinks into the water...

THE GYM FLOOR:

closes above him... CLANG!

Half the javelin sticks out above the floor... it twitches

fiercely, then stops...

CARTER:

storms the gym, gun drawn... followed by Deputy Clark and a

dozen armed police officers. He approaches Keri...

KERI:

Guess he was stoppable, after all.

THE TERROR IS GONE.

Keri and John embrace.

CUT TO:

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY - A HALF HOUR LATER

POLICE CARS litter the campus. The corpse of THE SHAPE lies

covered on a gurney... a pair of PARAMEDICS roll it past --

AN AMBULANCE:

parked near the entrance, its rear doors open revealing --

JOHN:

being tended to by a PARAMEDIC. Keri sits next to him...

JOHN:

I just can't believe she's dead.

Keri does the only thing a mother can do, gives him a hug...

KERI:

I love you, John.

Always the guy, John just shrugs, giving her a tough smile.

JOHN:

Yeah, me too, Keri.

KERI:

Call me Laurie, will ya?
