EXT. CONT'D - BOATHOUSE - NIGHT

The small building where all the canoes, swimming,
and fishing equipment is stored.

MARCUS(O.S.)
I hate all of you right now. Like, fuck all of y'all.
Dragging my ass to some scary ass, abandoned summer
camp.

INT. BOATHOUSE - NIGHT

Everyone walks along the wooden walkway, flashlights
illuminating the inside of the structure. On the left
wall are canoes hung up on the wall. On the right,
the lake water is exposed for shiner traps.

Skeet leads the group through the boathouse and
onto the dock.

JAKE
(to Marcus; chuckles)
Dude, you could've just stayed back at the
bunkhouse.

MARCUS
(serious)
That's an even worse idea... Leaving the black guy
alone... Have you ever even seen a horror movie?
Either way, I'm dead.

CHLOE
(to Marcus; joking)
Think of it as myth-buster. Does the black guy
survive? (laughs)

ANGLE ON MARCUS

He shoots Chloe a "that's not funny" look.

LANDON
(to Marcus)
Shit dude, just live in the moment. Life's
more exciting when you take a few risks.

MARCUS
(to Landon)
See, you on that white people shit now.

Everyone in the front can't help but laugh at
Marcus' extreme paranoia.

EXT. CONT. - BOATHOUSE - DOCK - NIGHT

The group proceed towards the end of the dock,
where they see a few canoes tied down, already in
the water.

ANGLE ON SKEET

SKEET
Shouldn't take no longer than 20 minutes to
cross to the other side. Just be sure to tie your
boats down when you get there.

AIDEN
Thanks, uh...

SKEET
(cuts him off)
Skeet. Everyone calls me Skeet. Head
groundskeeper... Come to think of it, the
only groundskeeper. (chuckles)

Aiden and Skeet shake hands.

AIDEN
(smiles)
Appreciate it Skeet.

SKEET
Hey, I was you kids' age one time or another.
curious and shit. (beat)
Just be sure to bring those boats back in one
piece. Christie's already breathing down my neck
about a million other things.

Everyone is lowering themselves down into the canoes.

AIDEN
Sure thing man.

Marcus only gets more paranoid.

ANGLE ON MARCUS

MARCUS
(serious; to Skeet)
If I don't come back. Have them put cause of death,
white people stupidity, on my grave.

EXT. ON THE LAKE - NIGHT

A fog rolls in halfway across the lake. The 3 canoes slightly drift
apart from one another.

In the first canoe is Aiden, Kris, Tj, and Liza
In the second, there's Landon, Marcus, Crystal, and Alex.
In the last, there's just Jake and Chloe.

ANGLE ON FIRST CANOE

Aiden and Tj are rowing, while Kris and Liza are
lighting the way and navigating.

AIDEN
Shit, this fog rolled in out of nowhere.

TJ
Reminds me of that movie with the ships in the fog.
(thinks)
What was it called?

KRIS
(chuckles)
THE FOG.

TJ
(smirks)
Oh yeah.

LIZA
Why do I feel like this is a bad idea?

AIDEN
(chuckles)
Because it probably is.

ANGLE ON SECOND CANOE

Landon and Alex are rowing, while Marcus spotlights,
and Crystal navigates.

MARCUS
(serious)
You see this shit? It's a sign...
Turn the fuck around.

Alex laughs.

ALEX
(to Marcus; smirks)
It's just a little fog. It doesn't take much
to make you paranoid, does it?

LANDON
(to Alex)
That's Marcus for ya. Our resident black friend.

Marcus flips Landon off.

Landon just chuckles.

CRYSTAL
I wonder why Jon didn't tell us about this
place earlier? Did he not think we would
be curious about it?

MARCUS
I don't know, but I do remember him telling us
to stay our asses on this side... (points backwards)
Well that side of the lake. It speaks for itself. (beat)
But no... We just have to cross the lake to some
scary ass, haunted, abandoned summer camp.

Alex can't help but laugh.

ANGLE ON LAST CANOE

Jake rows while Chloe spotlights and navigates.

CHLOE
(to Jake)
Can you move any faster? Everyone's way ahead of us.

JAKE
Would you like to take over? Be my guest... I'm
rowing this piece of shit as fast as I can.

CHLOE
(sighs)
This fog is thick as hell. Can't see shit.

JAKE
(sarcastic)
You're telling me.

ANGLE ON FIRST CANOE

The group exit the fog, seeing the shore, and
the rotting remains of the old camp along the bank.

It's a surreal moment. Like entering a new world.

TJ
(amazed)
I'll be damned, it's actually real.

KRIS
So this is Camp Crystal Lake, huh. (beat)
Yeah, it kinda has that whole haunted vibe
to it.

EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE - DOCK - NIGHT

WIDE SHOT - FROM BEHIND

Everyone has arrived, tied down their canoes,
and are all proceeding towards the campgrounds
as a whole.

An eerie calm sets in just as the teens set foot
on the desecrated campgrounds.

ANGLE ON CHLOE

She shines a flashlight around the area. The cabins
are beginning to become over grown with weeds and
moss.

CHLOE
So if all that shit really happened here, why
haven't they just torn the place down already?

LANDON
(joking)
Maybe they were scared that Jason guy was
still out here.

ANGLE ON JAKE

JAKE
Shit, I ain't scared of some retarded mamma's boy.
(loud)
YOU HEAR THAT BITCH, YOU AND YOUR SON, CAN SUCK
MY...

Crystal hits Jake.

CRYSTAL
(cuts him off)
Really?!

JAKE
Yeah. You ever seen Paranormal Adventures? You
gotta raise your voice, really get aggro with
spirits to get them to do shit.

MARCUS
(to Jake)
You trying to get us killed and shit,
aren't you?

CHLOE
No, no, he's right. You really gotta piss
them off.

MARCUS
(sarcastic)
Well that's great. (beat)
(serious)
Just take that shit elsewhere. I'd
rather not piss ghosts off today.

JAKE
Maybe I will. I don't know about you guys, but
I came to see some crazy shit.

KRIS
(joking)
Like a zombie psychopath living in the woods?
(chuckles)

JAKE
I'm for real. (beat)
Look, I'll catch up with you guys later,
I'm drunk and ready to piss off some ghosts.

Jake turns, beginning to walk the other way.

ANGLE ON CHLOE

She sighs deeply, rolling her eyes.

CHLOE
(to herself)
I'm probably going to regret this.
(to Jake)
Hold on. I'm not letting you run off by
yourself. Fuckin' idiot.

She proceeds towards Jake.

ANGLE ON AIDEN

AIDEN
Maybe we should all split up. Keep it
even, so we can cover more ground?

TJ
Doesn't matter to me.

ANGLE ON CHLOE

CHLOE
Don't get any ideas. I'm only following you
because you're my way back.

JAKE
(chuckles)
Right. But seriously, you have a way better
understanding on this shit than any of them
do.

CHLOE
Well, I do watch a lot of Ghost shows.

JAKE
I really think they're just scared that
something might actually happen.

CHLOE
Probably.

ANGLE ON JAKE

JAKE
Like I said...
(loud)
I AIN'T SCARED OF NO PUNK ASS, FUCK-TARD
MAMMA'S BOY! YOU HEAR THAT, BITCH, YOU AND
YOUR STUPID KID CAN GET FUCKED!

ANGLE ON CHLOE

She smirks, while shaking her head. It seems
like she might actually enjoy being around
Jake.

JAKE(CONT'D)
(to Chloe)
You think that worked?

CHLOE
Nah, I think you'll have to try harder than
that. Gotta hit 'em where it hurts.

JAKE
Ooh I like that. Let's see what you got.

CHLOE
(smirks)
Oh no, that's all you buddy.

JAKE
(smirks)
Aw come on, just give it a shot.

Chloe smirks and hangs her head low, not wanting
to give in.

CHLOE
(loud)
HEY PAMELA! MAYBE IF YOU WERE A BETTER MOTHER, YOU
COULD'VE SAVED YOUR SON! YOU LET HIM DROWN! HE'S
DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!

Jake looks at Chloe with respect. He didn't think she
would actually do it.

JAKE
(loud)
BUT WHY WOULD YOU TRY SAVE HIM ANYWAY, HE'S TOO FUCKIN'
STUPID TO EVEN KNOW HE'S DEAD! YOU HEAR THAT
VOORHEEEES? YOU FUCKIN' PSYCHO ASS, OLD BITCH!

Chloe smirks. The two are actually having fun with
this. But it's a bomb under the table moment when
you realize that these kids are marking their own
graves.

CHLOE
(loud)
COME ON OUT! YOU FUCKIN' SCARED ASS BITCHES! SHOW
YOURSELVES!

JAKE
(loud)
IF YOU DON'T SHOW YOURSELVES, WE'll BURN THIS
FUCKIN' CAMP TO THE GROUND! THEN I'll GO AND PISS
ON YOUR GRAVES!

CHLOE
(smirks)
Okay, that may have went a little to far.

JAKE
(smirks)
Shit, that was just a warm-up.

SOMEONE'S P.O.V.

Just as Jake and Chloe stop loudly insulting
Pamela and Jason's names, it's known that someone has
been watching them the whole time.

EXT. CONT'D - CAMP TRAIL - NIGHT

Everyone else has decided to split up and expand
on their adventure.

Aiden and Kris. Tj and Liza. Marcus and Landon.
Alex and Crystal.

ANGLE ON MARCUS AND LANDON

They're wandering down an overgrown camp trail,
seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

Landon seems to enjoying himself, while Marcus
looks more paranoid than ever.

MARCUS
(paranoid)
This splitting up shit is a bad idea dude.
We're setting ourselves up for some bullshit.

LANDON
Relax man, it's not that bad.

MARCUS
(paranoid; looking around)
Is it just me, or does it feel like we're being
followed?

LANDON
Dude, you're over-thinking shit. You're just
paranoid.

MARCUS
(paranoid)
Fuck man, can this just be a bad dream already?

INT. CONT'D - MESS HALL - NIGHT

ANGLE ON TJ AND LIZA

They enter an old building, the camp's mess hall.

Liza shines her flashlight around the area. The
old tables and chairs still sit there, just as
they probably did 33 years ago.

TJ
This must be the cafeteria... Or whatever they
call it at camp.

LIZA
(chuckles)
A mess hall.

TJ
(smirks)
Right.

Tj wanders around the area, checking out the
back rooms where they stored food, pots, and
cutlery.

LIZA(O.S.)
Hey Tj, come check this out.

Tj meets back up with Liza.

TJ
(to Liza)
What's up?

Liza hands Tj a pamphlet that he opens.

It's a map of the campgrounds, with key
markers on each individual location. Much
larger than they initially thought.

LIZA
A little bigger than we thought, huh?

TJ
Damn, I sure hope nobody wanders off too
far. Splitting up was kinda a bad idea.

LIZA
(sarcastic)
Yeah, you think?
