Friday the 13th, Part 6: Jason Lives

TIGHT ON JASON'S FACE

JASON'S DECOMPOSED EYELIDS FLASH OPEN!

ANGLE ON TOMMY AND HAWES

Uncovering their heads, they look skyward in fear. Quickly,

Tommy gets to his feet and goes for the troublesome spear.

ANOTHER ANGLE

The unintended lightning rod is still smoking a little from

the blast. He touches it. It's hot. He pulls out a pair of

gloves from his jacket. Putting them on, he then attempts to

remove the spear. He can't get proper leverage. So Tommy

jumps down into Jason's grave.

LOW ANGLE - ON TOMMY

He struggles to pull the spear out. It's apparently driven

into the bottom of the coffin as well. Hawes leans down into

the grave.

HAWES

Let's just get the hell out of

here. My heart can't take any

more of this.

CLOSE ON JASON'S FACE

Jason's wicked eyes glare at Tommy.

RESUME TOMMY

The boy, of course, does not see what's about to occur. He

finally yanks the spear out, and throws it up onto the grass.

Slowly he removes his gloves and tosses them to Hawes. He

starts to climb out. JASON SPRINGS UP FROM BEHIND AND GRABS

HIM.

CLOSE ON HAWES SCREAMING

He goes crazy with hysteria. He starts to run.

ANGLE DOWN - ON GRAVE

Tommy fights for his life as Jason tries to pull him down

into the grave. He manages to kick Jason back down long

enough to climb out.

TOMMY

scrambles for the gas can as the STORM CLOUDS DETONATE ABOVE.

He gets it open, turns around, and starts throwing it on the

rising corpse of Jason.

ANGLE ON JASON

The gas splashes all over him as he keeps coming!

REVERSE ON TOMMY

He backs up as Jason stalks him. Knowing there's enough gas

now on his predator, he drops the can.

TIGHTER - ON JASON

He's coming closer.

TIGHTER - ON TOMMY

Panicking, he searches his pockets for the matches. He finds

them. As he pulls them out, the STORM CLOUDS ERUPT WITH AN

INCREDIBLE DOWNPOUR.

JASON

stops as the rain drenches him. Maggots start to wash off

him as he stares at his helpless victim.

RESUME TOMMY

He tries desperately to light a match in this pounding rain.

TOMMY'S HANDS

struggling with the soaked matchbook.

JASON

starts to close in. Suddenly HAWES EMERGES FROM BEHIND,

HOLDING UP A SHOVEL. He HOLLERS as he swings it.

ANGLE ON HAWES

He WHACKS the back of Jason's head as hard as he can. It

doesn't even faze his undead superkiller.

JASON WHIPS AROUND ON HAWES

His arm lunges forcefully at Hawes' chest.

ANGLE HAWES' BACK

JASON'S HAND, CLUTCHING HAWES' HEART, BURST OUT HAWES' BACK.

ANGLE ON GRAVE

Hawes' body falls back into Jason's grave.

TIGHT ON COFFIN

As Hawes lands in the coffin, the lid shuts over him.

ANGLE ON TOMMY

Horrified and weaponless, he runs like hell.

LOW ANGLE - ON JASON

Seeing his victim escaping, Jason whips around and looks for

a weapon. He goes for the nefarious spear. Something in the

grave then catches his attention.

EXT. FOREST ROAD - NIGHT

Tommy races out of the cemetery to his pickup. He jumps into

the truck and takes off in the rain.

EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT

With his back to us, Jason dons his beloved hockey mask and

picks up the spear. We PRESS IN TIGHT ON HIM as he turns

around to face us. FREEZE FRAME. Meaner, stronger, and more

unstoppable than ever before...

TITLE PROCLAIMS: "JASON HAS RISEN"

OPENING CREDITS

FADE IN:

EXT. SHERIFF'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Tommy's old pickup SCREECHES UP before us. He leaps from the

truck and races for the office door. The sign by it reads

"Forest Green County Sheriff's Dept."

INT. SHERIFF'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Tommy BURSTS into the room.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF BEHIND DESK

SHERIFF MICHAEL GARRIS is a hard-ass Vietnam vet who, at

forty-three, has "seen enough trouble and don't want no

more." That's why he took this job a few years back. Having

just nodded off, Tommy's entrance startles him. He leaps to

his feet, gun drawn with lightning speed.

REVERSE ON TOMMY

Shocked by the sheriff's sudden aggression, Tommy instantly

throws up his hands.

TOMMY

Don't shoot. Please.

ANGLE ON SHERIFF

He relaxes, seeing it's just a teenager. But he's still

pissed off as he holsters his gun.

SHERIFF

You in show business, kid? You

sure know how to make an entrance.

MOVING SHOT

The hyper boy rushes toward the sheriff.

TOMMY

You gotta do something! Jason's

alive! He killed my friend, now

he's coming for me!!

EXT. FOREST ROAD - NIGHT

Jason is coming. Gripping the spear before him, he heads

toward us.

INT. SHERIFF'S OFFICE - NIGHT

SHERIFF

(sitting back)

Now you better cool out a minute,

boy. You already almost got your

head blown to pieces.

TOMMY

(demanding)

Will you listen, dammit!

SHERIFF

(stands up)

Don't piss me off, junior. Or I

will repaint this office with your

brains.

Tommy tries to control his emotions and sound rational.

TOMMY

Jason is alive. We dug up his

body. I was gonna cremate it

and...

SHERIFF

(smirks and interrupts)

Hold it. Whoa... What's your

name, son?

TOMMY

(quickly)

Tommy Jarvis. We gotta do

something. He's even more

powerful now that...

The sheriff circles the desk and approaches Tommy.

SHERIFF

Aren't you the kid whose mother

and friends were....

TOMMY

(nods)

Yeah. Jason murdered them and...

SHERIFF

(cutting him off again)

And you've been at some

psychiatric clinic ever since,

haven't you?

TOMMY

(catching his drift)

Yes, but they released me

because...

The door behind him BURSTS OPEN.

DEPUTY

Rains stopped. Ya owe me that

five-spot, partner.

ANGLE ON DOORWAY

DEPUTY RICK COLONE hurries in with an armload of fast food.

Dark, mid-thirties, and a little on the short side. He is

surprised to see someone here this late.

DEPUTY

Sorry. I didn't...

BACK TO SCENE

Sheriff Garris waves his deputy in.

SHERIFF

(sarcastic)

No problem, Rick. Come over and

meet a former resident here, Tommy

Jarvis. He's got some kinda prank

going about...

TOMMY

(explodes)

There's no time for this

bullshit...

MOVING SHOT - ON TOMMY

He bolts across the office and grabs one of the rifles from

the rack.

TOMMY

Jason's got to be stopped.

ANGLE ON GROUP

Both lawmen drive for the crazy kid. Their food flies as they

struggle to get the rifle away from the strong youth.

Finally the deputy pins Tommy's arms from behind. The

sheriff yanks the rifle away.

SHERIFF

(pointing at Tommy)

Now that's what know in the books

as screwin' the pooch.

(to deputy)

Iron this punk.

Tommy fights to get away from the deputy, who throws him into

the cell. The iron bars are slammed shut.

TOMMY

(struggling)

No... Ya gotta listen. Jason's

coming back here. He's after me.

I tried to destroy him but I

fucked up....

TIGHT ON SHERIFF

He leans in toward Tommy's cell.

SHERIFF

You got that right. Now you

listen up. I'm sorry for what

happened to you and your folks

years ago. But no one in Forest

Green wants to be reminded of what

that maniac did here. That's why

they changed the name to Forest

Green. People want to forget this

was once Crystal Lake. And they

don't need some kid stirring up

Jason shit again.

RESUME ON TOMMY

He paces the cell in wild frustration.

TOMMY

Why didn't you cremate him?!

SHERIFF

(impatiently)

They were gonna! But some asshole

sent a lot of money to give Jason

and his mother a decent burial.

Now look, you just lie down and

get some rest. In the morning

I'll call that clinic and see if

they...

Tommy grabs the bars and pleads with him.

TOMMY

If you'd just go to the cemetery,

you'll see I'm not lying.

CLOSER ON SHERIFF AND TOMMY

SHERIFF

Either you go to sleep or I'll

come in there and put you out.

TOMMY

(defiantly)

You're gonna be sorry you didn't

listen to me.

SHERIFF

(more defiantly)

You're gonna be sorry if you don't

shut the fuck up.

CUT TO:

EXT. FOREST BACK ROAD - NIGHT

A funky VW Bug bounces along a narrow muddy road. LAUGHTER

is HEARD from within.

INT. CAR - NIGHT

A likable couple in their mid-twenties are obviously lost.

LIZBETH drives and giggles, slap-happy from the long trip and

late hour. Her boyfriend, DARREN, struggles to read the map

in the dim car light. A huge pothole causes him to bang his

head on the roof.

DARREN

Will you slow down? It's hard

enough to read this thing.

LIZBETH

(trying not to laugh)

Well, who told me to take this cow

path?

DARREN

You admit the sign did say "Camp

Forest Green," with an arrow

pointing this way.

LIZBETH

I admit nothing without talking to

my lawyer.

DARREN

throws down the map with a growl.

DARREN

So much for the head counselors

ever finding the camp on their

own. I say we stop the car, get

out, and start screaming for help.

The car comes to a grinding halt.

DARREN

(sighs)

I was just kidding, Lizbeth.

He looks at his girlfriend, who is staring fearfully out the

windshield. Darren turns to look.

DARREN'S P.O.V. - OUT WINDSHIELD

Standing in the middle of the road, illuminated by the

headlights... JASON. He holds the deadly spear before him.

RESUME COUPLE

Needless to say, Lizbeth is becoming more afraid.

LIZBETH

Darren, we better turn around.

DARREN

Why?

LIZBETH

Why? Because I've seen enough

horror movies to know masked

weirdos are never friendly.
