Friday the 13th, Part 6: Jason Lives 

FADE IN:

A NIGHT SKY

Ominous black clouds roll across the heavens. THUNDER begins

to RUMBLE within the clouds. An unsettling feeling of

approaching danger.

VARIOUS FOREST SHOTS

Deep shadowed woods. A quiet breeze rustles some dry leaves.

NOISY CRICKETS. Some unseen creature runs through the bush.

THE CRICKETS STOP.

EXT. FOREST ROAD - NIGHT

A very mangy wild dog feeds on what was once a rabbit run

over in the road. ROARING AROUND THE BEND COMES AN OLD FORD

PICKUP. The terrified canine runs for its life into the woods.

INT. PICKUP

TIGHT ON HOCKEY MASK

We stare down on Jason's infamous mask held in a young man's

(HAWES) hands.
　

HAWES

(Southern accent)

I don't know how the hell you

talked me into this, Jarvis.

ANGLE ON HAWES

Sitting in the passenger seat examining the mask is ALLEN

HAWES. He is a rather unusual-looking guy in his mid-

twenties, nervously smoking a cigar.

HAWES

Hell, I must be crazy. If the old

institution ever found out about

this...boy, they'd throw our butts

back in an' strait-jacket 'em

permanent.

TOMMY (o.s.)

You didn't have to come, Hawes...

PRESS IN - ON DRIVER

TOMMY JARVIS is a good-looking young man in his late teens.

He drives like a bat out of hell, wearing a very intense

expression of determination.

TOMMY

This is between me and Jason.

TWO SHOT ON THEM

HAWES

(becoming more nervous)

Yeah, I know. But I still don't

get the therapy here. Jason's

dead, right? How will seeing his

corpse stop your hallucinations?

TOMMY

Seeing it won't. But destroying

him once and for all will. Jason

belongs in hell.

TIGHT ON TOMMY

TOMMY

(coldly)

I'm gonna see he gets there.

HAWES

stares wide-eyed at Tommy. He then turns to look out the

back window.

EXT. PICKUP

TIGHT ON HAWES' FACE IN REAR WINDOW - TILT DOWN

A huge can of gasoline, a crowbar and two shovels are seen in

the back of the truck. THUNDER BEGINS TO RUMBLE LOUDER.

EXT. FOREST ROAD - NIGHT

Dust kicks up as the old pickup races down the road.

LIGHTNING FLASHES, illuminating the dark woods. THUNDER

CRASHES HELLISHLY.

CUT TO:

EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT

TRACKING along a row of tombstones, we follow Tommy and his

flashlight as he searches. Hawes follows, carrying the gas

can, tools and mask. THUNDER continues as a fierce, whistling

WIND attacks.

Tommy's eyes squint to read each tombstone, looking for the

one. LIGHTNING FLASHES.

WIDER - ON TOMMY

Getting frustrated, but far from giving up, Tommy moves to

the new row of markers. Suddenly he freezes and we PRESS IN

on him.

ANGLE ON JASON'S GRAVE

LIGHTNING illuminates the tombstone that reads "Jason

Voorhees - At Rest".

TIGHT ON TOMMY

As he stares, a deep terror chills his bones. Something else

then catches his eye.

ANGLE ON ANOTHER GRAVE

Close to Jason's marker we see another. It reads "Pamela

Voorhees - Beloved Mother."

FULL SHOT ON TOMMY AND HAWES

Returning his attention to Jason's grave, Tommy points "this

is the one" to Hawes, who gulps and nods. Putting down the

other items, the boys take hold of the shovels. Tommy raises

his up first.

THE SHOVEL

plunges into the ground. A LIGHTNING BLAST punctuates it as

it removes a large chunk of grass and dirt.

CLOSE ON OUR GRAVEDIGGERS

They begin to exhume the legendary killer's body. Tommy works

feverishly. Hawes works nervously.

Again and again their shovels strike, digging into the earth.

SLOW DISSOLVE TO:

THE SHOVEL (LATER)

is scraping the dirt of of a rotted coffin lid.

ANGLE UP - ON TOMMY

The sweating boy tosses the shovel out of the shallow grave.

Hawes silently hands him the crowbar from above.

TIGHT ON COFFIN

The crowbar is driven into the side. Tommy's hands take a

firm grip and yank. A HORRIFIC CREAK resounds as the lid

cracks open.

LOW ANGLE - ON TOMMY

He hands the crowbar back to Hawes. They exchange a look and

a deep breath. Tommy then goes for it. His hands extend

slowly toward the coffin. More THUNDER GROWLS.

TOMMY'S FINGERS

slip into the narrow space beneath the coffin lid.

PRESS IN TIGHT ON HAWES' FACE

He winces and bites his lip.

PRESS IN TIGHT ON TOMMY'S FACE

With all the courage he can muster, Tommy strains to do the

deed. He yanks the casket open!

ANGLE ON JASON IN COFFIN

With a BRILLIANT FLASH OF LIGHTNING, the lid swings open to

reveal the huge decomposing body of JASON. His HEAD IS

COMPLETELY COVERED BY AN ARMY OF DISGUSTING MAGGOTS.

HAWES GASPS

He fights with his stomach to keep his dinner down..

TOMMY CLIMBS OUT OF GRAVE

He turns and stares down at his nemesis. A slow hatred begins

to build. We PRESS IN on Tommy, HEARING his horrid memories:

His sister screams, NO, TOMMY, NO while 10-year-old Tommy

kills Jason, repeating, "DIE, DIE!"

TIGHT ON TOMMY

As he listens, his eyes well up with a violent rage.

WIDER

Tommy looks around vengefully. Seeing an old fence a few

yards away, he heads for it. Hawes is confused by his

actions.

HAWES

Hey, where are you going?

TRACK WITH TOMMY

Without a word, he storms over to the rusty fence. He grabs

one of the spearlike posts and pulls it out.

LOW ANGLE - DOLLY BACK

With fire in his eyes, Tommy stalks Jason with the weapon.

THUNDER ROARS ABOVE.

HAWES

rushes up to Tommy, greatly alarmed.

HAWES

What's that for? Tommy, what are

you doin', boy?!

The boy storms right past him.

REACHING THE GRAVE

Tommy glares down hatefully at this monster who has destroyed

his loved ones and his life. Raising the spear, he explodes

and jumps down.

TOMMY

You bastard!

LOW ANGLE - ON TOMMY

As he lands in the grave, Tommy plunges the spear down with

a mighty force. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING BLAST HELLISHLY.

THE SPEAR

penetrates deep into Jason's chest.

ANGLE ON HAWES, DUMBFOUNDED

HAWES

Oh, shit.

TOMMY

withdraws it, then angrily rams it down again and again.

CLOSE ON JASON'S FACE

The force of the blows causes many of the numerous maggots to

start dropping off his face. Grossly decayed flesh is

illuminated the LIGHTNING.

CLOSE ON TOMMY'S FACE

Exhausted, his rage finally vented, he drives the spear into

Jason for the last time.

ANGLE DOWN - ON TOMMY AND JASON

Over the boy's shoulder we see the long spear extending out

of Jason's cold heart.

WIDER

Recovering from his tantrum, Tommy climbs out of the grave.

Hawes stares open-mouthed at his friend.

HAWES

Boy, he must've really messed you

over.

TOMMY

reaches down, picks up Jason's hockey mask, and stares at it.

INSERT - HOCKEY MASK

It seems to stare back evilly at him.

TOMMY (O.S.)

Yeah. Fuck you, Jason.

RESUME TOMMY

Tommy, knowing the nightmare is finally over, tosses the mask

into the grave. He then bends down and starts to uncap the

gas can.

WIDER ON SCENE

Without warning, the sky EXPLODES with a mass of LIGHTNING.

One of the BOLTS OF ELECTRICITY is drawn to the spear as to

a lightning rod. SPARKS fly as the spear is struck and

electrified. Tommy and Hawes dive for cover.
