INSIDE FURNACE:

Dylan squeezes through a tiny aperture!

VENT PASSAGE JUST OUTSIDE FURNACE

Dylan looks and sees

HIS POV:

down this narrow passage and through a grill to Heather,

pushing at Freddy's kicking feet!

Dylan rushes to help

OUTSIDE THE FURNACE

the side vent grill pops and Dylan jumps out, and at the same

instant Freddy pulls his legs fully inside in terrified

panic. Together, HEATHER AND DYLAN SLAM the main furnace

door and bolt it.

The screams are deafening. Heather backs away, horrified.

But Dylan climbs right up on the furnace, reaching for the

rusted iron lever just above the door and pulls down hard!

Instantly there's a DEEP RUMBLE and the furnace fills with a

huge GOUT OF FLAME! The child falls back amid deafening

screams from inside the furnace. Heather sweeps Dylan up and

staggers off!

INSIDE THE FURNACE

INSIDE THE FLAMES, as Freddy's screams roar and a huge,

gargantuan Freddy starts to outglow the flames themselves!

Flame sprouts from his arms and claws. His head blossoms

with light and then he's blindingly brilliant, rising,

WHITING OUT THE SCREEN, and his screams turn to terrifying

laughter. The we...

INT. DYLAN'S ROOM - FIRST LIGHT

His bed, as the blanket bumps up yet again, and Dylan and

Heather fall out onto the floor. Heather, wet, shivering and

bloodied, turns and pulls the blanket completely off the bed,

wrapping it around herself and her child. And of course

there is nothing behind them now but...bed.

Heather turns to Dylan and pulls his head against her breast.

She looks to the clock. It changes from 6:59AM to 7:00.

Then she looks to the floor.

There's something there, bound loosely with three brads.

She picks it up and opens it. A script. Finished now. She

looks at its top page
