Scream Page #29

---

Gale hits the gas, and yanks the wheel, sending Kenny's corpse

flying off the top of the van.

Gale spins the van around, onto the road, hits the gas madly,

gaining speed just as...

SIDNEY APPEARS:

in the middle of the road, drenched in blood, very much

resembling a young Sissy Spacek.

Gale swerves to miss her, but she turns too sharp and the

van veers off the road at top speed... flipping over on its

side, sliding off into the thick foliage.

EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS

Sidney races to where the van lay on it's side. Sidney peers

through the windshield... Gale's body lay limp and bloody.

SIDNEY CRIES OUT, turning, limping to the driveway. She sees

the patrol jeep with it's open door... she goes for it.

INT. JEEP

Sidney hops in, reaches for the ignition... NO KEYS! Sh*t.

Just then, Sidney's eyes go to the front porch. She watches

as the front door opens and a FIGURE appears in the darkness,

undetectable.

Sidney throws the headlights... illuminating the front side

of the house, revealing...

DEWEY STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.

SIDNEY:

DEWEY!

Sidney opens the jeep door, moving to him, noticing his body,

slumped, knees buckled...

And then his body falls forward, slowly, deliberately, hitting

the porch hard. Standing behind him is...

THE GHOST:

SIDNEY SCREAMS FROM THE BOTTOM OF HER SOUL.

SIDNEY:

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Sid jumps back inside the jeep, closing the door, locking

it. She reaches over and locks the passenger's door and then

she... waits.

And watches as the GHOST leans over Dewey's still body,

fumbling with something. Then the FIGURE stands upright, in

his hands he holds...

THE KEYS:

They jingle in the wind, the GHOST toying with her, enjoying

this...

Sidney, hysterical, locks eyes with the FIGURE as he moves

to the door, Sidney leaps on it, holding the lock button

down, making it impossible to unlock. Her face is pressed

against the glass... inches from the MASKED FIGURE.

She uses every ounce of strength when suddenly, the GHOST

DISAPPEARS, dropping down, below the window, out of her view.

Sidney moves to the center of the jeep, trying hard to listen

over her own RAPID BREATHING, every sound AMPLIFIED.

Then she hears it, the soft JINGLING of keys near the

passengers side door. She pounces on the lock, holding it

down.

A shadow cuts the beam of the headlights, unseen by Sidney.

The lock turns on the other side. Sidney leaps over and holds

it down, securing it. This is beyond nerve-racking. Sidney

is certifiable.

Her eyes spot the police radio for the first time. She grabs

the mouthpiece and hits the switch.

SIDNEY:

Help! Please! I'm at Stu Maker's

house on Turner Lane. Please, HE'S

GONNA KILL ME!

EXT. FRONT OF JEEP

ANGLE through front windshield. Sidney RANTING into the police

band. She doesn't see the...

GHOST FIGURE open the tailgate door of the jeep and slowly

crawl in behind her.

The GHOST FIGURE reaches out and grabs hold of Sidney's neck.

Sidney, with surprising strength, spins around and attacks

the GHOST.

She falls back against the dash, legs out, kicking wildly at

him.

Her hand reaches for the door, finds the lock, the door lever,

she pulls...

The door swings open...

Sidney falls out of the door, hitting the ground.

EXT. FRONT YARD - CONTINUOUS

Sidney, on her stomach, squirms away from the jeep. She brings

herself up to her hands and knees, looking behind her to see

nothing...

THE GHOST HAS DISAPPEARED.

Sidney's eyes roam the yard but he's nowhere. Completely

gone. Vanished. Sid crawls to the front porch where...

DEWEY'S BODY LAY

Thinking quickly, precisely, she reaches to Dewey's holster

and grabs his gun when a VOICE ECHO'S behind her...

VOICE (O.S.)

Sidney!

She turns to see Randy racing to her, limping. He appears

stone cold sober.

RANDY:

Jesus, Sid. We gotta get out of here.

Sidney throws the gun forward.

SIDNEY:

Stop. Right there.

RANDY:

Don't shoot. It's me.

SIDNEY:

Don't come any closer.

RANDY:

Listen to me, Sid. I found Tatum.

She's dead, she's been killed... I

think Stu did it.

He takes a step forward when another VOICE SPEAKS UP.

VOICE (O.S.)

Don't believe him, Sid.

Sidney spins around to see Stu moving up the walk.

STU:

He's lying. He killed Tatum. And

Billy.

Stu moves closer to Sidney.

SIDNEY:

Stay away.

She aims the gun in his direction.

STU:

His movie nut mind has snapped, Sid.

He's gone psycho.

RANDY:

Don't listen to him. It's him. He's

the one.

Sidney has lost it, she doesn't know who to trust. She aims

the gun at Stu... then Randy... then Stu...

STU:

Come on, Sid. Give me the gun.
