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.

SUZY'S POINT OF VIEW

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:

A HOCKEY MASKED MONSTER

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.
