FADE IN:

The vast woodland scenery surrounds an enormous lake,
"Crystal Lake" to be precise. The bright, blue sky reflects in
 the lake's calm waters.

INT. CABIN - MIDDAY

A door creaks open. Light beams through, illuminating the
inside of the cabin's dark interior.

Two people emerge from the other side of the door, a couple.
AMBER, 18, dark haired, has a quirky know-it-all, tells it how it
is attitude. and... BRYAN, 18, also dark haired, handsome, has a
quaintly, romantic personality, with a slight dirty sense of humor.

ANGLES ON THE TWO

The door SLAMS SHUT moments after the two enter, startling Amber.

Bryan chuckles at his girlfriend's reaction.

AMBER
(to Bryan)
Fuck you!

BRYAN
(Confused)
What did I do?

AMBER
You know damn well what.

Bryan continues to chuckle under his breath.

The two pull their phones out and use them as flashlights.

BRYAN
Soo- why are we in here to begin with?

AMBER
I don't know. I'm bored and felt like checking it out. (beat)
Why, you scared?

ANGLE ON BRYAN

gives Amber a sarcastic look.

BRYAN
(sarcastic)
Oh yeah... Terrified. Let me tell you.

Bryan splits away from Amber.

He flips open a scrapbook on a table. He stops on a picture of a
young boy wearing a paper mache mask.

TIGHT ON PHOTO.

It's dated 1975.

Bryan walks away, back towards Amber.

BRYAN
You would kinda figure most of this shit would be in an
evidence locker or something.

AMBER
Like what?

Someone seems to be watching the two from somewhere
inside the cabin. We watch for a moment through their P.O.V.

BRYAN
Like the machete that girl used to cut that lady's head off.
Whatever happened to that thing?

END P.O.V.

TIGHT ON AMBER

AMBER
I don't...

SMASH - Amber's foot breaks through the rotted, old floor.

AMBER
Shit!

Bryan jumps to catch her arm to assure she doesn't fall.

BRYAN
(helping free her foot)
You okay?

AMBER
(struggling)
Yeah, I'm fine. (beat)
Fucking place is falling apart beneath me.

BRYAN
Yeah, let's get out of here, before the whole fucking place collapses
on top of us.

EXT. ON LAKE - MIDDAY

The water remains still for a moment. Just before - SPLASH!
The water violently stirs up after someone cannonballs off the
dock and into the lake. TYLER, 18, has dark hair, boyish good
looks, and a typical jokester's attitude.

Tyler pops up moments later, screaming in joyful laughter.

ANGLE ON JESS

18, has dark hair, cute, looks innocent, probably not.
