FADE IN: LAKE SIDE- NIGHT
A huge campfire is blazing in the center of a half
circle of 7 kids who are all in their late teens.
There are empty bottles of various alcohol strewn
across the ground and the kids are all noticeably
drunk. To the right is a van facing away from the
campfire with its back doors propped open. Behind the
kids there is a lake with an eerie reflection of the
moon in it.
Sarah is taking long sips from a wine cooler. She is
sitting on Mike's lap and he has his hands around her
waist.
SARAH
This is spooky isn't it.
JOE
(from across the fire)
What?
SARAH
A bunch of kids out here late at
night and getting wasted by the side
of a lake. Its right out of a bad
horror movie.
Mike grabs at Sarah's tits and kisses her on the neck.
MIKE
Yeah now all we need is the
premarital sex scene and some
monster's gonna come out here and get
us.
Sarah screams/giggles at this but we can all tell that
she's into it.
JOE
(taking a drag of a joint)
Fuck that movie, its so lame! It's
just some retarded kid in a big man's
body hunting down people just as dumb
as he is. I mean come on you never
see the guy run but all these kids
are running like they're gonna shit
their pants and they always end up
dead. I mean what's the deal with
that?
SARAH
Yeah Jason just needs to get laid!
Then he'd understand what all the
fuss is about and tell his mommy to
go fuck herself.
CARRIE
(grabbing the joint off of
Joe)
I think Freddy's the bomb. He really
gets creative with his killing and he
actually talks unlike some of the
others. If I had to die by the hands
of some fucked up crazy killer it
would be him.
JOE
(hi-fives Carrie)
Freddy's the man! Him and that
little pipe smokin' Leprechaun dude.
First time I saw that movie I was
trippin' out on acid. Fuck man the
tracers in that movie were over the
top.
LISA
You're baked during just about every
movie you watch. How can you even
form an opinion on them let alone
remember them.
JOE
Well I can form an opinion on what I
do remember. Geez let me enjoy my
oblivion okay!
Robbie reaches into the beer case and grabs two beers.
He then passes one of them to Lisa. He seems kind of
into her.
ROBBIE
So Lisa, what scary movie makes you
scream?
Lisa opens the beer and takes a swallow of it before
she answers him.
LISA
Wizard of Oz!
ROBBIE
You're kidding me!?
LISA
(smiling at him)
It's true! Those flying monkey
things really freaked me out when I
was five and they sort of still do.
ROBBIE
(laughs at her)
That's crazy!
LISA
Hey I had nightmares for weeks after
seeing it. They would fly down and
started ripping me to pieces and then
go after my family! I would wake up
screaming and I'd have check myself
in the mirror just to see if I was
still in one piece.
LUKE
(takes the joint from Carrie)
Flying monkeys were the only cool
thing about that movie.
JOE
(lights up another joint)
Hey man Dorothy was one luscious
hottie. Problem is it should have
been called 3 Gay Men and a Babe.
MIKE
Man you gotta lay off the weed.
JOE
No man listen...
(glares at Lisa)
Let me give you my opinion of the
movie. See you got this hot babe out
in the middle of nowhere and nobody
even hits on her. They had to be
gay, the lion was definitely tickling
his sphincter with his own tail.
LUKE
(smoking the joint)
Dorothy was pretty sweet in her nice
long braids and country girl look.
JOE
See the dude knows what I'm talking
about. Man I would have grabbed
those braids, tapped that ass three
times and she would never have wanted
to go home again.
Joe jumps up and starts humping the air and slapping
his own ass.
LISA
You're a disgusting pig!
JOE
Damned right I am. Been a proud
member since 1995.
LISA
(to Robbie)
So which movie scares you?
ROBBIE
Being the only black kid in a white
town there isn't much left that
scares me anymore. But if you really
want to know then I would have to say
the scariest movie I've seen is
Driving Miss Daisy.
Everyone looks at Robbie. Joe coughs as he inhales on
his joint.
ROBBIE
Well what do you expect! Black man
having to drive a bitchy old white
woman all over the god damned place.
You do one thing wrong and she would
have your ass. I'd be steering right
at the first tree I saw and crashing
into it.
JOE
(holding his fist high in
the air)
Amen to that my brother!
ROBBIE
(kidding with Joe)
Fuck you, you white trash stoner.
Everyone laughs and goes back to drinking. Sarah
tilts her wine cooler up high over her head and
finishes the last drop. She then tosses it over her
head and we can hear it splash into the water behind
her.
SARAH
Who wants another one?
CARRIE
I'll have one!
LUKE
Me too!
SARAH
Be right back.
Sarah gets up off of Mike's lap and staggers over to
the van to get three wine coolers. She tosses one to
Luke and then another Carrie. Sarah then sits back
down on Mike's lap.
MIKE
(to Luke)
Man why do you drink those things?
It's so gay!
(a bit curious)
You're not gay are you?
LUKE
Fuck you man, I get way more wasted
smoking this shit than you do
drinking that stuff.
(showing his joint)
Besides these things taste great and
go down smooth.
MIKE
Whatever man! Hey Robbie pass me a
real man's drink.
Robbie digs into the case of beer next to him. We
hear empty bottle clanging together as he searches for
a full one.
ROBBIE
Hey what time is it?
Joe tries to focus his eyes on his watch. He has to
close one of his eyes but he can't so he puts his hand
with the joint over it. He accidentally burns his
forehead.
JOE
Ah shit!
(drops the joint and Carrie
quickly scoops it up)
Goofie's big hand is at the twelve
and I think his little one is.... I
can't see it!
MIKE
(checks the time on Sarah's
watch)
It's 12:02 why?
Robbie pulls out a beer and hands it to Mike. He
gives a disappointed look at Mike.
ROBBIE
Cause this is our last beer.
JOE
(very upset)
No way man I've got hours before I
pass out!
LUKE
And don't even think of taking any of
those coolers cause I paid for them.
I wouldn't want you turning gay on
me.
MIKE
Don't worry about it smart ass.
(gets up and lets Sarah sit
in his place)
I'll drive into town and get some
more.
SARAH
(begging him not to go)
No don't go! I want you here with
me. Let someone else go.
Mike pulls keys out of his pocket and dangles them in
front of Sarah.
MIKE
No way! Nobody drives my van but me.
She has a way about her that only I
know.
Robbie sets his beer down and begins to get up.
ROBBIE
I'll go with you man.
LISA
(holds him down)
No your not I want to keep talking.
It would appear that Lisa might be interested in
Robbie as well. Robbie doesn't complain and sits back
down.
ROBBIE
Sorry man, the lady has spoken.
JOE
I'll go dude! I need to get some
munchies!
LUKE
Yeah get some chips.
CARRIE
And some cookies and popsicles!
Mike is walking around to the driver's side of the
van.
MIKE
They'd be melted by the time we got
back! Stupid stoner bitch!
CARRIE
(annoyed by his insult)
Hey I heard that!
MIKE
(laughing)
Good!
(to Joe)
You coming?
Joe has gotten up but he is not headed towards the
van. Instead he moves a few feet out of the circle
and unzips his pants.
JOE
Give me a minute. I gotta take a
piss!
LISA
Go in the bushes! I don't want to
step in your stuff later!
JOE
I gotta see where my river runs. I
don't want to piss on myself.
LUKE
You fuck, you'll probably end up
passed out right in it.
JOE
Hey man you know how these things
work. I could have a multi-
directional thing going and piss
right down my leg. That's not
something I'm willing to chance.
Joe continues to relieve himself while everyone tries
not to watch but they still do. Mike waits
impatiently by the door of his van. Finally Joe is
finished and he does a violent shake to get the last
drops out.
LUKE
Hey dude you shake it more than twice
and its called playing with yourself!
Joe doesn't say a word he simply raises his hand and
gives Luke the finger. Satisfied, Joe zips up his
pants and turns to face the others.
JOE
There, now was that so bad?
No one has a chance to say anything as a long rope
comes down from the tree above him. It is looped into
a noose and it goes over Joe's head.
JOE
What the....
Suddenly Joe is ripped off the ground and disappears
into the trees. All that can be seen of him is his
twitching feet and the only sound that can be heard is
a gasping noise coming from the darkness. They all
just stand there frozen.
ROBBIE
Joe this better not be one of your
jokes cause if it is, it's not funny!
Luke walks over to where Joe was seen on the ground.
He looks up at the feet that are no longer twitching.
He reaches up and tries to grab them.
LUKE
Hey man are you......
Luke doesn't have time to finish his sentence as a
dark figure comes out of the trees on a rope much like
Tarzan would do but silent.
The figure slams into Luke sending him flying into the
huge fire in the middle of the circle.
Luke catches on fire and begins to scream. Carrie
begins to scream as well and tries to get to Luke but
the dark figure has landed and grabbed her by the
hair. She is trapped there as the man reaches behind
his back and swings a huge axe down on the top of
Carrie's head.
Carrie drops to the ground with blood splattering
everywhere. We can see her looking at Luke who is
flailing around in the fire.
ROBBIE
(grabbing for Lisa)
Let's get the fuck out of here!
Robbie tries to get Lisa to safety but the man grabs
her by the other arm. Robbie and the man begin a tug
of war with Lisa as the rope.
LISA
Don't let him hurt me!
ROBBIE
Don't worry I've got you!
While this is happening Mike runs back to get Sarah
who is crying and screaming. She is too frightened to
move.
MIKE
Come on we gotta get out of here!
SARAH
But what about them?!
MIKE
Who the fuck cares!
Mike tries to get Sarah to move but she won't budge.
MIKE
Fuck you too then!
He runs to the driver's side door but continuously
falls to the ground as he slips on some the empty
bottles strewn on the ground.
As this is all happening we turn back to see that the
man has won the contest and is now dragging Lisa to
the water's edge. Lisa is kicking and screaming not
giving up the fight but it is obvious who has the
upper hand. We can see that Robbie has fallen flat on
his ass with his legs propped up over a log.
LISA
Robbie! Help mmm......
The man grabs Lisa by the hair and plunges it under
the water. Lisa does not stop flailing around but her
screams stop and turn into bubbles of air escaping her
lungs.
Robbie finally gets up and rushes towards the man.
ROBBIE
Let go of her you mother fucker!
The man sees Robbie coming and he replaces his hands
with his big boot on the drowning Lisa.
Robbie gets near the man and we suddenly see two
flashes of light reflect off of metal in the man's
hands. Two blades come out from there place at the
man's sides and rip across Robbie's throat. Two huge
gashes are left behind in a sort of x.
ROBBIE
Aarrgghh!
Robbie grabs at his neck as blood spurts out all over
him. He tries to say something but all that comes out
is more blood. He crumples to the ground dead.
The man looks down at Robbie and then at Lisa who has
finally stopped flailing around. He takes his foot
off of Lisa and watches her float there face down for
a while. It is as if he's mesmerized by the way she
is just floating there.
SARAH
(O.S.)
Oh god please help me!
The man instantly comes out of his trance and looks up
to where Sarah is still sitting where she was. She
hasn't moved making it so easy for the man to just
walk up to her.
CUT TO: VAN INT.
Mike opens the driver's side door of the van and gets
into the seat. He instantly goes for the ignition but
realizes he hasn't got his keys in his hands. He
begins to check all his pockets.
MIKE
Fuck! Where are they?
CUT TO: CAMPFIRE
We angle back on the man who has neared the fire and a
smoking but still living Luke. Luke has manage to
climb out of the fire and put the fire on him out.
He's not looking to good but it appears he will
survive.
LUKE
Why are you doing this man?!
The man doesn't say a word, he just crouches down and
with one of the knives he sticks it into Luke's chest.
Luke does not survive.
There is now only a few feet between the man and Sarah
who finally gets it in her head to get the hell out of
there. She gets up at the same time as the man and
she races for the back of the van.
SARAH
Mike where are you!?
CUT TO: VAN INT.
We angle back on Mike who is still looking for his
keys. He looks through the driver's side window and
sees the keys on the ground.
MIKE
Yes!
CUT TO: VAN EXT. DRIVER'S SIDE
Mike jumps out of the van and grabs the keys off the
ground. He jumps back into the van and slams the door
shut.
CUT TO: VAN INT.
Mike is back in the van. He sticks the keys into the
ignition and starts up the van. The engine roars to
life and he revs up the engine.
MIKE
I am so fucking out of here!
We angle on his front and we can see through the van
and out towards the fire. We can see Sarah jumping
into the van and crawling on the floor towards Mike.
We can also see the man coming at them with the fire
outlining him.
SARAH
Mike help me!
Mike is putting the van into gear but when he hears
his name being screamed he turns his attention to the
back. Instead of putting the van into drive he
accidentally puts it in reverse.
MIKE
Shut up! We're safe now!
Mike hits the gas and they go in reverse towards the
fire and the man. The man is slammed by the van and
disappears under it. This unexpected mistake actually
helps Mike and he is pleased but only for a second as
he continues into the fire.
MIKE
Yes!! Oh shit!!
Mike hits the brakes and the van stops with its ass
end in the fire. The sudden stop throws Sarah
backwards out of the van and into the fire. She
screams as she is engulfed by the flames.
MIKE
Sarah!
Mike is about to go to her when he sees a fiery hand
land on the floor of the van. Then Mike sees the
man's upper half come up from underneath the van. The
man is all in flames as he pulls his entire body into
the van.
MIKE
Oh fuck me!
Mike turns his attention to the gearshift and puts it
into drive. He once again hits the gas and the van
moves forward. Mike looks into the back of the van
hoping to see the man fall out but he has managed to
get a grip and stay in.
MIKE
Why don't you die fucker?!
Mike turns his attention back to the front and
realizes he doesn't have any lights on so he reaches
down and turns them on. The headlights reveal a
fallen tree and Mike is heading right at it.
MIKE
Fuck!
Mike tries to swerve away from it but it is too late.
The van crashes into the tree and a huge branch goes
through the van and impales itself in Mike's stomach.
The man isn't able to hold on from this impact and
flies passed Mike, crashes through the window and
slams into the tree. He falls unmoving onto the hood
of the destroyed van.
MIKE
(coughing up blood)
At least you're dead too you son of a
bitch!
The man suddenly begins to twitch and he crawls off
the hood on the passenger's side of the van.
MIKE
(as he dies)
I don't believe this!
The man walks around to the driver's side and looks at
Mike who is slumped over the steering wheel. The man
picks up Mike's head and looks into his dead eyes. He
lets Mike's head fall back onto the steering wheel.
CUT TO: CAMPFIRE
The man is walking back into the light of the
campfire. We can see the bodies of his victims strewn
all over the ground. One of the bodies is still
moving and we see that it is Sarah. She has crawled
out of the fire and is trying to get away.
SARAH
Help me!
The man stands over her as she tries to crawl away.
He crouches down and extinguishes the last bit of
flames on her back. He then turns her over so that
she can watch what he's doing and so that he can see
the horror in her eyes. He begins to unbutton his
pants and zip them down.
SARAH
No please no!
The man lowers himself down onto Sarah and he rips her
shirt off. She turns over and tries to crawl away
from the man but he just drags her back under him.
The last we see of Sarah is her watch saying 12:08.
We zoom out from this point to the entire campfire.
All we can see is the back of the man. We can hear
Sarah screaming as the man does things to her.
