CUT TO:
EXT. CAMP FOREST GREEN - CAMPFIRE SITE - NIGHT
Night rolls in with a cloudless, dark sky,
and the moon shining bright as ever. The sound
of a campfire CRACKLING interrupt the peaceful
woodland ambience.
The teens all sit around the campfire, drinking,
smoking, laughing, and having the time of
their lives.
GROUP SHOT
Aiden hands Tj a beer. Probably not his first
of the night.
AIDEN
Anybody else want one?
(to Alex)
Alex?
ANGLE ON ALEX
She's calmly sitting in her chair, beer in hand,
listening to the many conversations going on all
at once.
ALEX
(smiles; holds her beer up)
Oh no. I'm still good here.
ANGLE ON AIDEN
AIDEN
Crystal? (beat)
Oh wait, you don't drink, do you?
ANGLE ON CRYSTAL
She shakes her head with a smile, while
roasting her a marshmallow.
ANGLE ON LANDON
He's layed back in a fold out chair, joint
in his hand, stoned out of his mind.
ANGLE ON JAKE
He's got a stick, poking at Chloe, who is
focused on her cell phone. He pokes her in the butt
ANGLE ON CHLOE
She smirks moments before taking Jake's stick
and breaking it in half.
ANGLE ON LIZA
She and Kris are next to one another, talking
about school and which college their thinking
about going to.
BACK ON JAKE
JAKE
So, anybody got any good stories?
ANGLE ON MARCUS
He's leaned up against a stump. He passes Landon
the joint back after taking a good puff.
MARCUS
(coughs)
There was this time I was stoned and got super
fuckin' wasted, I banged this chick and...
BACK ON JAKE
JAKE
(cuts him off; laughs)
I was meaning like scary stories. You know,
like typical campfire shit.
From out of nowhere, someone interrupts. A
man that goes by the name, SKEET, early 40's,
black hair, mysterious, but misunderstood.
ANGLE ON SKEET
SKEET
(serious)
I got a story for you kids.
Skeet's mysterious appearance startles everyone,
especially Jake, being that he was right behind him.
BACK ON JAKE
JAKE
(to Skeet; surprised)
Holy shit, dude!... Where did you come from?
ANGLE ON SKEET
He walks up closer to the group and sits down
on an ice chest.
SKEET
(sarcastic)
The camp... The woods... My mother. (beat)
Any other stupid questions I can answer
sarcastically?
Jake doesn't respond, only looks to everyone else, who
all have shit grins on their faces.
SKEET(CONT'D)
Now, this isn't just your regular campfire story,
this shit actually happened... (points) Right across
this lake side to be exact. (pauses)
Date's back to 1984. Camp Crystal Lake... All started
after this special kid drowned in the lake... His mother,
Pamela, already had problems due to an abusive past.
Needless to say, she didn't handle it very well. Next
thing you know, she goes back up to that camp and
hacks up a bunch of counselors, blaming them for her
son's death. All but one that is...
ANGLE ON MULTIPLE
Everyone seems to be kinda into the story. More or less
has something to do with most of them being either drunk
or stoned. A few even seem a little scared.
SKEET(CONT'D)
There was one survivor... And mom got hers. This girl,
she chopped off the lady's head with a machete...
ANGLE ON TJ
He just kinda smirks, looking down, playing with a stick in the dirt,
with a "This is ridiculous" look on his face.
TJ
(smirks)
Yeah, I think I've heard enough.
BACK ON SKEET
SKEET
(to Tj)
This is where it where things get a little more
interesting. (beat)
Nobody knows how or why... But the boy came back...
Leaving behind a trail of bloodshed behind him. There
were no survivors this time, so to speak...The boy,
Jason Voorhees, disappeared after that night,
never to be seen again. (beat)
Some say he just died. Some say he's still out there...
Others even think the old campgrounds are haunted by
Pamela and Jason.
ANGLE ON MARCUS
He looks a bit confused.
MARCUS
(confused)
Okay, so what you're saying, is that this camp
you speak of, is just right on the other side of this
lake?
BACK ON SKEET
SKEET
(sarcastic)
No, I just told you all this whole story right off
the top of my head. (beat)
Yes, that's what I said.
MARCUS
(serious)
Fuck that shit. That Jon dude's right, we need to
stay our asses on this side of the lake.
ANGLE ON CHLOE
She leans over in her chair.
CHLOE
(to Marcus; instigating)
Aw what's wrong Marcus, you scared?
BACK ON MARCUS
MARCUS
(serious)
Bitch I'm black. It's in a brutha's nature to
stay away from scary shit.
ANGLE ON LANDON
He sits it, seemingly focused.
LANDON
(to Marcus)
Dude, stop being a pussy. It's just a ghost
story, you hear them all the time. (beat)
(to everyone)
I think we should go check this place out.
ANGLE ON AIDEN
AIDEN
(to Landon)
Nah man, if Jon finds out, we're all fucked.
ANGLE ON JAKE
JAKE
(to Aiden)
What if he doesn't though? I mean the night's
still young and I'm too drunk to think logical.
I say we do it.
ANGLE ON CHLOE
CHLOE
Fuck it, I'm in. Fuckin' Ghost Hunters is my shit.
ANGLE ON TJ
TJ
(to Aiden)
What the hell. We only get tonight to ourselves anyway.
PAN AROUND
Everyone, minus Marcus, seems to like the idea.
BACK ON AIDEN
He seems a bit overwhelmed. Like maybe this is too big
of a decision for him to make. He thinks for a second.
AIDEN
(to Alex)
Alex, you're head counselor. What do you think?
ANGLE ON ALEX
She smiles, while running her fingers through her
hair, thinking.
ALEX
(smirks)
... Sure, I'm game.
ANGLE ON LANDON
He puts his bottle to the sky.
AIDEN
(enthusiastic)
Hell yeah! Tonight, we go to Camp Crystal Lake!
GROUP SHOT
Everyone, but Marcus joins him in a cheers to their
more than likely, very bad decision.
ANGLE ON MARCUS
He looks a little displeased.
MARCUS
(serious)
You people are crazy thinking my ass is leaving this spot.
