House of 1000 Corpses Page #20

---

Baby moves over to Bill. Mary watches like a mother hawk.

Baby sings and dances with all of her attention focused on

Bill.

Baby puts her arms around Bill's neck and sits on his lap.

Mary BOLTS FORWARD and SHOVES Baby off of Bill.

Baby crashes onto the floor.

MARY:

Take that, you f***ing slut!

(Mary spits at Baby)

F***ing redneck whore!

BABY:

You shouldn't a done that.

MARY:

Why? You gonna do something about

it?

BABY:

(standing up)

Yeah, I'll do something.

Baby takes out a straight razor from behind her back.

BABY:

I'll cut your f***ing tits off and

shove 'em down your throat.

MOTHER:

Baby! Stop!

Mrs. Firefly runs down from her position behind the spotlight

and intercedes.

BABY:

Come on, ma... this b*tch's got it

coming.

MOTHER:

No, I told you...

SCREECH! The garage door slides open. Rufus has returned.

RUFUS JR.

(interrupting)

Car's done.

DENISE:

Thank God.

MOTHER:

I suggest you kids leave now.

MARY:

Don't worry, I'm gone.

EXT. FARMHOUSE - NIGHT

Bill, Jerry, Denise and Mary climb back into their car.

BILL:

Don't look back, just get in the

car.

DENISE:

Lock the f***ing doors.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

Bill begins to pull the car down the long dirt driveway

towards the road. The heavy rain makes visibility difficult.

BILL:

(straining to see

through the darkness)

Almost there.

JERRY:

Jesus, you think she was really gonna

cut you?

MARY:

(leaning her forehead

on the window)

Of course she was gonna cut me, she's

a f***ing nut...

(closes her eyes and

takes a breath)

I knew she was crazy from the second

we picked her up.

SLAM! Suddenly, Baby pounds her fist against Mary's window.

Mary jumps back in terror.

BABY:

(screaming)

You're in Hell, b*tch! You're gonna

die like a dog!

Baby disappears into the darkness.

MARY:

Go! Go! Go! Get us out of here!

Bill pulls the car up to the front gate. It is chained shut

with a huge padlock.

LIGHTNING CRASHES, illuminating the crucified scarecrows.

FLASH CLOSE-UP CUTS - of grinning jack-o-lantern faces peer

down from above.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

Bill opens the car door, starts to get out.

MARY:

(hysterical)

What are you doing!

BILL:

I gotta open the gate.

MARY:

Drive through it!

BILL:

It won't work.

JERRY:

Holy f***, hurry up.

Jerry, Mary and Denise watch through the windshield as Bill

struggles to unlatch the thick iron gates.

SUDDENLY, one of the SCARECROWS JUMPS down from his cross

and SMASHES Bill over the head with a HEAVY CLUB. Bill drops

to his knees.

MARY:

Bill! Help him!

Jerry throws open his door to get out. He's SHOVED BACK into

the car by another, larger scarecrow outside his door. This

scarecrow begins smashing the car's windows with a METAL

PIPE.

Bill lays motionless, face down in the mud. His attacker

turns his attention on the car. He also begins smashing the

car's windows.

EXT. CAR - NIGHT

From a distance we see Jerry pulled from the car and beaten.

The girls are helplessly trapped inside the destroyed vehicle.

The scarecrows continue to pound on the car.

As we fade out, the sound of a BARKING DOG can be heard.

FADE TO:

EXT. FARMHOUSE - MAGIC

From a long shot, we see the farmhouse in the early morning

sunrise. All is still.

The sound of an engine starting breaks the early morning

silence. Rufus's tow truck is seen pulling away from behind

the house. The BEATEN REMAINS of Bill's car are towed behind

it.

EXT. WILLIS HOUSE - SUNRISE

Darkness, except for the face of an alarm clock. The time is

7:
00 AM. TICK, TICK, TICK... BUZZZZZZ. The alarm goes off.

A hand reaches over and turns off the alarm. We hear a deep

groan. A light turns on.

INT. WILLIS'S LIVING ROOM - MORNING

Don Willis wakes up, having fallen asleep in his easy chair.

He sits up and wipes the sleep from his eyes. He runs a hand

across his head, smoothing out his thinning grey hair.

He picks up a phone next to his bed, dials a number, waits.

MR. WILLIS

Hi. Lieutenant Broekman please...

Donald Willis.
