as the chains emit a dull tinkle due to movement from the
tugging anchor. Camera continues to TRACK again...and we
find to our horror that the waterlogged, fish-eaten body
of JASON IS SECURED BY THESE SAME CHAINS. (NOTE: Jason's
face is obscured.)
INT. HOUSEBOAT - CONTINUOUS
Teenagers in love, lost in not-so-innocent passion. At
the same moment:
EXT. UNDERWATER - NIGHT (TANK)
The anchor tugs one last time and RIPS THROUGH THE CABLE.
SPARKS INSTANTLY FLY, chasing along the cable, finding
the chain which secures Jason and ENGULFING HIM IN
ELECTRICITY.
EXT. HOUSEBOAT - ON LAKE SURFACE (EFX)
as BRIGHT FLASHES OF BLUE LIGHT strobe-under the surface.
ARCING CURRENT chases up the anchor cable, sparking
across the hoist.
EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE - WIDE SHOT FROM WATER
as the electricity feeding the streetlights is abruptly
extinguished, plunging the campsite into darkness.
INT. HOUSEBOAT - CONTINUOUS
as Suzy's eyes flash open.
SUZY:
Did you hear that?
JIM:
Hear what?
He pulls her back down.
SUZY:
C'mon, I'm serious.
He knows the mood is broken.
JIM:
All right, I'll check it out.
He slips on his jeans, exiting the cabin. She pulls the
sheet up around her fearfully.
EXT. UNDERWATER - NIGHT (TANK)
as the cable smolders, void of electricity now. TRACK to
find the chains again...but they're dangling loosely.
JASON IS GONE.
INT. HOUSEBOAT - CONTINUOUS
Suzy is tensely kneeling on the bed now. The black void
of night is all she sees out the cabin door, which Jim
has left open. An uncomfortable amount of time passes.
SUZY:
Jimmy...?
No answer. Her heart starts to pound.
SUZY:
Jim...?
Again, nothing. She wraps herself in the sheet, moving
towards the open door. The ship creaks again.
as she grows closer to the doorway, nothing but pitch-
black beyond it.
SUZY:
Stop screwing around, Jim. I mean
it...
...And just as she reaches the door:
leaps out, clutching a HUGE KNIFE. Suzy barely has time
to scream before JASON PLUNGES THE KNIFE INTO HER CHEST.
SUZY:
stands there in speechless shock, looking down at her
mortal wound. But there's no blood.
THE MONSTER:
pulls the knife back out, pushing the blade in and out
with his hand. It's a retractable rubber knife. JIM
pulls off the hockey mask with a huge grin, tossing it
aside.
JIM:
Gotcha good, baby cakes.
She doesn't know whether to hug him with relief or kick
him in the balls. He pulls her back onto the bed,
laughing.
EXT. HOUSEBOAT - CLOSE ON HOCKEY MASK
sitting dormant on the deck, where Jim tossed it. A
SHADOW FALLS ACROSS IT...followed by a SLIMY, DECOMPOSING
HAND. The hand grabs it like it's an old friend, pulling
it away.
