*Tatum goes to the basement to get beer She empties popcorn into a bowl, then pulls open the refrigerator...looks quickly, then
remembers... The kitchen door opens and light floods the darkened garage.
Tatum stands in the doorway searching for a light switch.

She finds a button and hits it.  BRRRRMMM!  The electric garage
door starts to rise.  Wrong switch.  She hits it again and it
closes.

She finds another switch.  CLICK.  A small lightbulb overhead
comes on, barely lighting the large two car garage, leaving
pockets of shadows along the wall.

Tatum spots the refrigerator against a far wall and heads for it,
not seeing the kitchen door, quietly, slowly, closing behind her,
sealing her off from the rest of the house.

Tatum stumbles to the refrigerator and throws it open.  Its light
casts a glow across her face.

Tatum jumps, spinning around just in time to see a cat escape
through a large pet door that's built into the garage door.  She
smiles at her jumpiness.

CRASH!

Tatum loads up with as many beer as her hands will carry and heads
back to the kitchen.

At the kitchen door, she juggles the beer, reaching for the knob.
It's locked.

*Tatum sighs*
"Shit!"

*She KICKS it with her foot several times.*

*Tatum knocks*
"Hey shitheads?"

*A moment.  No answer.*

*Tatum shouts*
"Hello?!"

*She moves towards the rising door, beer in hand.  Suddenly, CRR-
BRRRM!  The garage door RESETS, reversing direction, moving down,
closing.*

*Tatum looks*
"What the..."

*Tatum spins around to see..*

*Silhouetted in the dark, next to the kitchen door, his hand on the
switch.  Tatum at once GASPS, taken back, but then relaxes.*

*Tatum laughs*
"Is that you, Randy? Cute."

*The ghost mask person nods no*

*Tatum smirks
"And what movie is this from? I SPIT ON YOUR GARAGE!"

*She stares*
"Lose the mask. If Sidney sees it, she'll flip"

*the person shakes his head no*

*Tatum laughs*
"Oh, you wanna play psycho killer?"

*the person nods yes*

*Tatum smiles*
"Can I be the helpless victim?"

*the person nods yes*

*Tatum laughs*
"Okay, let's see. "No, please don't kill
me, Mr. Ghostface. I want to be in the sequel!"

*Tatum takes a step to move around the person, but he steps too,
blocking her.*

*Tatum smirks*
:Cut, Casper. That's a wrap."

*Tatum moves again, sidestepping the person, but she drops the beer*

*Tatum yells*
"Randy--will you stop!"

Tatum yanks hard, releasing his hold when a flash of silver
catches her eye.  She looks down, glimpsing a long sharp blade as
it darts forward, cutting into her forearm....

*Tatum pulls back, horrified, as the moment turns deadly serious.*

*Tatum goes backwards, holding her bloody arm, backing into the refrigerator,
SCREAMING.*

"Who are u?!"

The person lashes out with the knife.  Tatum dodges it, leaping
back against the fridge.  The Person advances.  Instinctively, she
rips the top freezer door open, BASHING the FIGURE in the face,
sending him backwards, reeling.

*Tatum groans*

*Tatum bolts to the...CLOSED GARAGE DOOR.  In a panic, she BEATS
and PULLS
on it, trying to make it lift.  She eyes the Person...he's
recovering...*

*Tatum is half in/half out of the pet door.  She BEATS and JERKS
wildly, unable to see the FIGURE on the other side...*

She takes the moment to pull herself through further...but she
stops...stuck.  She pulls and tugs but can't move.  She listens
but hears nothing.  Where did he go?  An agonizing silence.  And
then...

CRR-BRRRM!  The garage door is activated.  It begins to rise
upward, taking
Tatum with it.  She SCREAMS MADLY..

*Tatum cries*
"Noooo!"

*She looks above to see where the door rolls back into garage
rafters just as her neck hits the first beam, SNAPPING instantly. She dies*



 She dies*
