Friday the 13th

Alice reaches into the box in CLOSEUP and pulls out a handful of leather-working tools. She hurls them at Mrs. Voorhees as hard as she can.

Mrs. Voorhees has to put her arms up to ward off the spinning knives. One cuts her under the eye and she lets out a low animal bellow.

Alice leaps up, climbs over the table and runs for the door.

Mrs. Voorhees shoves the tables over and hurries after her.

Alice gets to the door, shuts off the light switch and runs out.

We can hear JASON'S VOICE.

JASON (V.O.)

Kill her, mommy! Kill her!

CUT TO:

EXT. CAMP GROUNDS / EQUIP. SHED – NIGHT

The central area is bathed in light. The rain has stopped. Mrs. Voorhees has turned on all the flood-lights.

Alice runs to the corner of one of the cabins. She stops to look back. Mrs. Voorhees is gaining on her.

Alice runs to the equipment shed.

 
ANOTHER ANGLE
 

The door is thrown back. Alice goes in. Looks for a weapon. Nothing is available. Alice sobs with fear. She runs.

Mrs. Voorhees passes the equipment shed.

CUT TO:

EXT. RIFLE RANGE SHACK – NIGHT

A single bulb outside the building shows Alice as she bursts through the door.

CUT TO:

INT. RIFLE RANGE SHACK – NIGHT

It is a small cabin. On the walls are five .22 calibre rifles.

Alice runs into the dimly lit cabin and takes one of the rifles from the wall.

She rummages in a drawer. It's empty. She tries another. Empty.

ALICE

Where are the goddamned bullets?

The next drawer has a lock and hasp on it.

Alice looks around.

CUT TO:

EXT. RIFLE RANGE SHACK – NIGHT

Mrs. Voorhees is on her way, charging through the night.

CUT TO:

INT. RIFLE RANGE SHACK – NIGHT

ANGLE ON ALICE

She whacks the hasp with the butt of the rifle. The hasp doesn't give. She gives it another butt stroke. It won't give. A shadow covers Alice's back. She turns.

 
ANOTHER ANGLE
 

Mrs. Voorhees is standing in the doorway, blocking the light. Still carrying the machete, Mrs. Voorhees steps slowly toward Alice.

Alice, with an almost useless .22 in her hands, does the only thing she can. She takes the weapon by the barrel and, swinging it like a baseball bat, whacks Mrs. Voorhees on the arm/shoulder, knocking the killer off balance and into the wall.

Mrs. Voorhees slams through a flimsy table, crushing it, and drops to the floor.

Alice runs out the door.

CUT TO:

EXT. MAIN CABIN FRONT – NIGHT

Alice huffs past the dead camper van, through the mud to the front door of the main cabin. She runs in quickly. There is no sign of Mrs. Voorhees. She turns off the lights and runs into the kitchen.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN AREA – NIGHT

Alice looks from side to side, hoping to find a place to hide. She spots the half-open door to the larder, looks inside and then hides there, closing the door behind her.

CUT TO:

INT. LARDER – NIGHT

There is some light that comes through the cracks and crevices. Alice's hands fasten onto the inside lock – the dead bolt type which requires a key to unlock it from the other side.

Alice relaxes a little bit now that she is locked inside.

As soon as she relaxes, we hear the front screen door slam. Then we hear some shuffling around outside. The lights are turned on.

JASON (V.O.)

Please kill her, mommy... Help me, please. Kill her, mommy.

There is the sound of pots being rustled through. Then the sound of another door being slammed.
