Cherry Falls Page #2

She hears the footsteps behind her and quickly turns around. She sees the

silhouette of someone standing a few feet away.

The wind picks up. Stacy realizes it isn't Rod. All she can see is that

whoever is there is carrying a small sledge hammer in one hand and a very

long, jagged, steel nail in the other.

STACY:

(in full panic)

NO!

Stacy starts to run. The killer starts after her.

EXT. STACY'S

Rod is sitting in his car in front of Stacy's house at the edge of the

woods, waiting for her to appear. He checks his watch.

EXT. WOODS

Stacy runs for the edge of the woods but she isn't quite fast enough to

elude her pursuer.

STACY:

Help!

The killer catches Stacy from behind and savagely smashes her head against

a tree, cracking a branch. Stacy falls to the ground, dazed.

INT. CAR

Rod sits up in his seat, thinking he's heard something

EXT. WOODS

Stacy, half conscious, bleeding from the head, is dragged back deeper into

the woods.

EXT. STACY'S

Rod gets out of the car and cautiously moves to the edge of the dark

woods.

EXT. WOODS

Rod's POV - The woods are pitch black.

ROD:

Stacy?

STACY(O.C.)

(struggling, in the distance)

ROD!

EXT. WOODS

The killer kicks Stacy in the side, instantly shutting her up. He gags her

and ties her to a tree trunk. She struggles, but she's no match for the

killer.

INT. CAR

Rod grabs his flashlight from the glove compartment.

EXT. WOODS

Rod's flashlight beam frantically cuts through the woods.

Rod charges through the woods, desperately looking for any sign of Stacy.

EXT. WOODS

Stacy's right hand is raised above her head and placed, palm out, against

a tree trunk.

EXT. WOODS

Rod searches for Stacy, his flashlight jaggedly cutting the darkness.

EXT. WOODS

The huge nail, extremely sharp and jagged, is placed in the center of

Stacy's outstretched palm.

The hammer is pulled back, aimed at the head of the nail.

EXT. WOODS

Rod stops and frantically looks around, knowing he's fighting a losing

battle.

ROD:

Stacy?!

EXT. WOODS

The hammer descends on the nail.

Stacy screams out in pain, even through the gag, as he hand is nailed to

the tree.

EXT. WOODS

Rod hears her muffled cry and runs toward the sound.

Stacy's left hand is now placed up against a different tree.

Another nail is readied.

Stacy tries to free her nailed hand but it's useless. She goes into shock.

Rod's flashlight continues to cut through the night. His feet trample

fallen branches. Suddenly, he stops. He's found her.

Stacy is stretched out between two trees, gagged, one hand nailed to each

tree. She almost looks crucified.
