House of 1000 Corpses Page #30

MOTHER:

Yeah, I like the screaming too...

it's so much more exciting.

Rufus cuts loose the gag.

JERRY:

Please don't kill us, please don't

kill us.

BABY:

(imitating Jerry)

Please don't kill us, please don't

kill us.

OTIS:

B*tch, shut your mouth and get your

sh*t in the box.

JERRY:

Let us go, please... let the girls

go.

BABY:

(imitating Jerry)

Let us go, please... let the girls

go.

Otis pulls out a gun and points it at Jerry.

OTIS:

Get in... now!

MOTHER:

Wait, I want to say good-bye.

Mother grabs Jerry by the collar and gives him a big kiss.

MOTHER:

Bye sweety, we could of been great

together.

JERRY:

Please, let us go, we won't tell

anybody.

MOTHER:

Aw, honey you know I can't do that.

BABY:

We won't tell anybody.

Otis c*cks the pistol. Jerry starts to slowly move towards

the coffin.

OTIS:

Christ, ain't this f***ing a hoot...

alright mamma, I ain't got all f***ing

night.

JERRY:

Please, please this is insane. You

can't do this.

Rufus pushes Jerry into the coffin.

OTIS:

It is and I can... next.

Denise starts kicking and fighting with Rufus. Rufus tries

to hold her steady, when suddenly Mary breaks free and starts

to run.

OTIS:

(laughs and raises

his pistol)

Where's she think she's a gonna get

to? She's gonna run all the way home.

BABY:

No! Let me get her...

(turns to Mother)

...Ma, Otis is having all the fun...

can I get her?

MOTHER:

That's true, Otis... not that we're

having a bad time, but...

OTIS:

(rolls his eyes)

Well, go get her.

Baby jumps with excitement and runs off across the field

after Mary.

Mary trips and falls over a small gravestone. She gets up

and stumbles back into a wooden cross. She tears the gag

from her mouth and gasps for air.

BABY (O.S.)

There once was a woman who lived

with her daughter in a cabbage garden.

Mary turns toward the voice but sees nothing but wooden

crosses. She is in a homemade cemetery.

BABY (O.S.)

...along came a rabbit and ate up

all the cabbages. The woman said...

Mary turns 360 degrees, but finds nothing.

BABY (O.S.)

..."Go into the garden and drive out

the rabbit"...

THUD! Mary is hit from behind, she falls forward. Baby JUMPS

on top of her and sits on her back. Baby is holding a large

hunting knife.

BABY:

"Shoo! Shoo!" said the maiden...

Mary screams in pain, as Baby PLUNGES the knife into her.

Baby STABS Mary again and again and again. Mary lets out a

long gurgling scream, then goes silent.

BABY:

..."Come maiden," said the rabbit...

(leans down)

...sit on my tail and go with me to

my rabbit hutch.

Baby, covered in blood, licks the knife clean.

EXT. PIT - NIGHT

Otis shoves Denise into the coffin with Jerry and locks the

lid shut. Through a CROSS-SHAPED OPENING in the coffin we

see them crushed together.

Rufus LOWERS the coffin into the pit. Once the coffin is

inside Otis slams the door shut.

Otis opens a small window in the door and lowers in a lantern

and a small tape recorder playing music.

INT. PIT - NIGHT

Enter Hell. The dim light of the lantern shines off the slimy

wet filth of the rotted wood walls. The stench of death and

decay hangs heavy in the thin air.

Denise and Jerry, cold and shivering, hang half submerged in

thick maggot infested sludge. Bits of animal and human

skeletons float in the muck, broken bones lay in piles along

the walls.

INT. COFFIN - NIGHT

Through the dim light, we see the tightly packed forms of

Jerry and Denise.

DENISE:

(hysterical)

We've got get out of here, we got

get out of here.

JERRY:

Think, think. Try to open the lid,

try to kick a hole in the wood.

DENISE:

(crying)

I can't... I can't move my arms. I

hurt so much.

JERRY:

I know, but we can make it out of

here. We can do it.
