BARRY grabs the knife-hand at the wrist. The knife falls to

the mossy floor of the clearing.

Two hands go for the free blade. BARRY's hand has it.

There is a confused jumble of struggle.

Onto the bed of moss falls the little finger of the PROWLER.

REACTION SHOT:
BARRY, horrified by the sight.

The PROWLER's hand has the knife. It moves quickly forward.

We can hear the blade strike.

BARRY stares up at the sky in a soundless shriek.

MCU the moss where the finger fell. The PROWLER reaches into

FRAME, picks up the finger, and exits FRAME.

QUICK CUT TO:
CHLOE, out searching for the missing Counsellors.

She stands at the edge of the clearing, her hands pressed on her

temples, her throat filled with a scream of terror. The MUSIC

has stopped abruptly.

THE SCREEN BLEEDS TO WHITE.

It is completely SILENT.

CUT TO:

8 TITLE SEQUENCE

The screen is completely black. A small white shape starts to

ZOOMS towards the FG. The shape becomes a three-dimensional

rendering of FRIDAY THE 13TH. Just as it gets to its final

position, the FRIDAY 13 logo shatters a previously unseen pane

of glass. There is a loud crash. The logo shifts to the upper

left corner of the FRAME as we ROLLS TITLES, white on black.

The THEME MUSIC is a reprise of the THEME we heard during the

Forest sequence, now done in a childlike arrangement.

TITLES END and the MUSIC fades out.

DISSOLVE TO:

9 EXT. RURAL TOWN - EARLY MORNING

The TRACK is SILENT.

In a LONG SHOT we see the one main street. A newspaper

delivery truck drives away from the CAMERA. A GIRL walks down

the street.
