109 - This is Halloween
PREVIOUSLY ON WOODSBORO HIGH:
"Cinema Club got a full onslaught of new members."
[Quick shots of Joseph, Louis, Esline, Danny, Leo, Mayra, Boris, Freddy, Will and Chantelle introducing theirselves.]
"Charlie made a new friend."
STEPHIE: Thank you for protecting me from a Jigsaw.
Stephie kisses Charlie on the cheek, unexpectedly.
"Olivia has been set on tormenting Jill."
[Insert quick shots of Olivia being a typical bitch throughout the series so far.]
"Prichard asked Kirby out on a date."
KIRBY: Seriously? This is SERIOUSLY you asking me out?
PRICHARD: Well, maybe - - no. Yes.
KIRBY: - - the answer is "no."
"While Jill broke things off with Cory."
CORY: So you're breaking up with me?
JILL: Yeah... I'm sorry...
[Swoosh sound effect.]
FADE IN:
INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT
ANGLE ON - - AN EYE. IT OPENS. We ZOOM OUT - - Chelsea awakens in a dark, damp basement, her eyes having a hard time adjusting. She tries to move - - SHE'S CHAINED. She begins to panic and breathe harder. She moves her feet - - water sloshes around.
CHELSEA
Hello! Can anyone hear me? !
She starts to struggle, the chain not budging from the wood pillar she's stuck to. A MOAN comes from behind her.
CHELSEA
Is someone else in here? HELLO!
The water sloshes behind her, Chelsea panting as it get closer. In the darkness, a raspy but soft voice arrises.
RASPY VOICE
(all too calm)
Hello.
CHELSEA
Where am I? How did I get here?
RASPY VOICE
I don't know. I just woke up too.
CHELSEA
Oh my God, what the fuck happened? ! I
was at a Halloween party one second and
then next thing I knew, I was here.
(waits)
Are you still there?
RASPY VOICE
Sorry... I feel weak.
CHELSEA
Do you know who put us here?
(waits)
Hey! I'm talking to you!
(waits)
Do you know where my friends are?
(no response)
What the fuck, UGH!
Chelsea tries harder to break from the chains.
CHELSEA
Somebody fucking help me!
RASPY VOICE
Shut up! You'll disturb him! He'll kill you!
CHELSEA
I don't know what you're talking about!
Who are you? Where are my friends?
What's going on? !
RASPY VOICE
One question at a time - - can you see
anything over there? Is there any food?
CHELSEA
Why the fuck would you want to eat something
from down here?
RASPY VOICE
(angered)
I told you... I NEED ENERGY.
FOOTSTEPS CREAK FROM ABOVE.
CHELSEA
What the fuck was that?
RASPY VOICE
Silence! It's coming! The demon is coming!
CHELSEA
DEMON? !
RASPY VOICE
From inside...
CHELSEA
Hey, listen to me! Can you get out or wiggle
free and get me out of here?
RASPY VOICE
You're right - where - I - want you to be.
CHELSEA
... what are you talking about?
RASPY VOICE
THE DEMON INSIDE ME.
TEETH RIP INTO CHELSEA'S NECK, RIPPING HER THROAT OUT. Blood gushing down her chest and into her cleavage, she tries to cover the wound but she's helpless. The Raspy Voiced man comes forward - - FREDDY.
CHELSEA
(gurgling blood)
You?
FREDDY
(breathes heavily, licking his lips)
Oh yes... ME.
FREDDY UNLEASHES HIS KNIFE GLOVE, DIGGING THEM INTO CHELSEA'S STOMACH (they're a bit flimsy and we see them bend on impact). Chelsea howls in pain as blood squirts from her stomach down into the water below.
CHELSEA
Why?
FREDDY
Because Tori... you - were just - - TOO
sweet to pass up.
FREDDY BITES FOR HER HEAD - - it pauses. We ZOOM OUT - -
INT. CINEMA CLUB ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Prichard puts down the remote as everyone looks around, confused as to why he stopped it. He seems dissatisfied.
PRICHARD
What is this?
ROY
I directed it. Chelsea's good, eh?
PRICHARD
NO! Sorry, no offense, Chels, but NO.
Chelsea's smile now turns into a frown.
ROY
We worked hard on that for two whole days.
PRICHARD
Well what's the footsteps that creaked
from upstairs if the killer is already in
the basement with her?
(no response)
You can see Freddy's knives bend when he
stabs her! It's pathetic. Freddy!
Freddy looks up, staring on like he wants to kill Prichard.
FREDDY
What?
PRICHARD
You're pathetic! Seriously, wear something
else for a change. You look like a hobo in
a Christmas sweater. What's with the stupid
rubber knives you have on your hand anyway?
ESLINE
... his favorite character is Freddy Krueger.
PRICHARD
Who?
ROY
From Nightmare on Elm Street.
PRICHARD
(blank)
Never heard of it. Now - -
WILL
Whoa. What do you mean you've never heard of it?
PRICHARD
That stupid movie you guys just name dropped.
The entire room goes up in arms, completely flabbergasted.
LEO
1984, Wes Craven film about a dream demon
who kills teens in their sleep. You never
heard of it?
PRICHARD
It sounds stupid.
LOUIS
You are a disgrace! Let Robbie and Charlie
get back to their roles as President and VP!
I don't know why they let this madness go on
for as long as it has anyway!
PRICHARD
What? I'M the president. I MAKE THE RULES.
The room shifts around, confused. Robbie sinks into his desk. Louis looks down at him, pissed off.
PRICHARD
And I'm sorry I haven't heard of your gay
80s movie. Maybe they should remake it so
it has some relevence in today's culture!
The room goes into another outrage.
CHANTELLE
I would kill them.
MAYRA
Not cool.
PRICHARD
Now we are NOT going to show this tonight
at the Halloween festival. It's fuckin'
ridiculous. Remake it and do it better
within the next couple of hours or...
forget about this movie. Pft. Quit
being losers and go to a party or something
instead, as a matter of fact.
(beat)
You know what? I'm done here. I only
did this because - - psh, I wanted to piss
those guys off.
Prichard points to Robbie and Charlie.
PRICHARD
And now I realize that's stupid.
Prichard picks up his backpack and exits the room. Robbie and Charlie can feel the entire room's eyes go onto them. Charlie turns, a bit ashamed.
CHARLIE
We just... wanted people to join.
Joseph looks on at Charlie, he feels bad but at the same time he's disappointed.
WILL
Well good luck without me.
LOUIS
Yeah... without me either. In fact, with
the lies you've been leaning on us for the
last couple of weeks... I doubt anybody
would wanna be in this piece of shit anymore.
Will exits as well as most of the rest of the room, pouring out in a pissed off manner. Robbie grits his teeth, trying to not make a big deal about it. Chelsea touches his arms in an "I'm sorry" way. The room clears out, all except Robbie, Charlie, Roy and Chelsea.
CHELSEA
You guys tried. What can I say? You
can try to start up again - -
ROBBIE
No... it's done. Cinema Club's finished.
We just have to accept it.
CHELSEA
But you worked so hard to make it?
CHARLIE
Did we? Or did we just work hard to trick
people into thinking it was worth anything?
Hell, we even tricked you at one point for
the sake of it.
CHELSEA
What?
ROY
Sorry... there was no audition that one day.
CHELSEA
Well I don't care but that's pretty messed up.
The door opens - - in comes Freddy.
FREDDY
Some of us decided to stay.
Behind him in comes Joseph, Danny, Boris and Chantelle.
ROBBIE
Thanks guys but... it takes more than a dozen
or so people to have a good club.
(gets up)
I don't wanna waste anymore of your time.
(throws his backpack on)
We're just be right back where we started.
BORIS
I believe in Robbie Mercer.
CHANTELLE
He's right. I have nowhere to go after
school that I enjoy. I hate home and...
I hate everything else. This is the only
place I like to be at. It's what I wait
all day for on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
ROBBIE
It's pointless. Without a full attendance,
Student Activity Advisor will just shut us
down. I'm sorry. Happy Halloween.
Robbie exits. There's silence in the room. Not much is left to be said. Charlie, Roy and Chelsea also collect their things and head for the door as well.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY
The gang make it to Chelsea's car, Robbie leaning on the side of it obviously distraught. Chelsea unlocks it and he enters the front seat. Roy jumps in the back as Charlie starts to head in also. STEPHIE JUMPS ON HIS BACK, covering Charlie's eyes.
STEPHIE
Guess who!
CHARLIE
Whoa, whoa! Who's there?
STEPHIE
You got to guess!
CHARLIE
Oh... Stephie.
Stephie comes down, sad he figured out it was her so quickly.
STEPHIE
How you know it me?
CHARLIE
Stephie, you're the only one that talks like
that, my dear.
STEPHIE
Halloween plans?
CHARLIE
Yeah, we're going to Pasadena later. I
would've invited you but the car's full. Sorry.
STEPHIE
It okay. You have fun. Halloween happiness.
Stephie smiles and gives a peace sign, running off back towards the soccer field. Charlie looks on pass Stephie running - - Kirby is in the distance, running around a track.
ROY
Let's go, Charles Manson!
INT. CHELSEA'S CAR - CONTINUOUS
Charlie enters the car. Chelsea turns the ignition, backing out of the parking space and begins exiting the lot.
CHARLIE
You know, if she wasn't a lesbian, I'd
think for sure she was in to me...
CHELSEA
What makes you think she's a lesbian?
CHARLIE
Well from what Roy told me and the way
she was touching Kirby that one day.
Grabbin' her, lotioning her up.
CHELSEA
Oh! She does that to everyone. It's
like her favorite story to tell about the
first time she was with an American guy.
It's pretty funny actuallly... or very
awkward, depending on your comfort zone
with the comfortability of the interative
portions of the story...
ROY
... OOOOOOH. That all makes sense now. Hm.
CHARLIE
... I'm beginning to think my life's one big,
long, cruel joke...
CUT TO:
INT. NILEY'S ROOM - DAY
Jill works on Niley's eyebrows, her eyes flinching. Also take note of Niley's hair - - it's back to red. She's not use to someone else doing this for her.
JILL
Hold still!
NILEY
I can't do it! I can't do it! Just let
me try.
Niley takes the stencil and looks in the mirror, working on her make up herself.
JILL
Big baby.
NILEY
I'm not a baby!
NILEY'S MOM (O.S.)
NILEY, I'M TRYING TO WATCH MY SOAPS!
SHUT UP!
NILEY
Would you just - - UGH - - BE QUIET!
Jill chuckles, watching Niley handle the situation. She walks over to the pictures on Niley's wall, observing them.
JILL
You and your mom are funny. Mean but funny.
NILEY
It's all in love. You don't need any
help with your costume?
JILL
No, Alice in Wonderland doesn't take much
other than a wig and a blue dress.
NILEY
Oh, you should actually dye your hair!
(turns around, super serious)
I could help you.
JILL
No thanks. I think your costume for tonight
is much more in need of help.
NILEY
I think I can handle it from here on and
out. I'm super excited! Robbie just showed
me the Halloween movies the last 2 nights.
He said he would usually watch them today but
since we get to BE where the movies were
filmed, that's a good enough substitute.
JILL
Hang around Robbie enough, you'll get that
type of film knowledge.
NILEY
I really do like hanging out with him.
He's really sweet to me. Can't believe I
never saw him in that way before.
JILL
To be honest, I always thought he was gay.
Jill starts sipping her lemonade.
NILEY
Well he sure likes my pussy for a gay guy.
Jill spits up her drink, it flowing through her nose and Niley laughs.
JILL
(nearly choking)
WHAT?
NILEY
Hehe, just kidding. We don't do that - - yet.
JILL
I almost died, Niley! Not funny!
(beat)
Anyway, I'll go ahead and get going since
you don't need help. Maybe I'll come
early to the festival or something.
NILEY
Have fuuuuun.
JILL
You too, Niles.
Jill exits, Niley continuing work on her make up.
CUT TO:
EXT. NILEY'S HOUSE - DUSK
Jenny's brother, BENNY, drives up in his large van, Jenny in the passenger seat. She takes out her cell phone, calling Niley. Charlie, Roy and Robbie are already in the back seat of the van. Robbie jumps out, ready to greet Niley after his tough day. He's dressed and painted as The Yellow Bastard from Sin City. We get a glimpse of Roy and Charlie's costumes as well. Roy's a zombie and Charlie is Lestat.
Niley exit the house in overalls... a large kitchen knife in hand... Robbie stops in the sight of her... she's hideous... it's... CHUCKY.
NILEY
Hi, I'm Niley. Wanna play?
ROBBIE
Not anymore, Jesus.
NILEY
You're a yellow guy, what do ya know!
Robbie takes Niley's hand and helps her get in the van.
JENNY
Let's go, lovebirds! My brother wants to
be home by eleven.
ROY
Aw, you're a buzzkill, Benny. Benny...
Jenny... your parents weren't very creative,
were they?
BENNY
Shut up, Roy. Your name's barely 3 letters.
CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO HIGH GYMNASIUM - NIGHT
Woodsboro High has been transformed into a jack-o-lantern filled festival of ghouls and goblins, dressed for the occasion and fun. Music booms in the gymnasium, everyone generally having a good time; drinking punch, dancing, talking, etc.. Jill and Kirby enter. Jill dressed as Alice, Kirby dressed as Samara from the ring with a long black wig covering her face. She moves the hair from her eyes so she can see.
KIRBY
I can't see for shit!
Chelsea and Prichard are by the punch bowl - - and then he sees her. He's captivated, again. Chelsea notices him looking her way.
CHELSEA
See something you like?
PRICHARD
(still watching Kirby)
Huh?
CHELSEA
Forget it.
Chelsea walks away and Prichard doesn't even notice. He downs the rest of the punch in his cup and starts to approach her. Kirby sees him and throws the hair back over her face.
KIRBY
Oh God.
PRICHARD
Hey Jill, can I have a word with Kirby for
a moment?
Kirby doesn't say anything so Jill goes ahead and leaves.
PRICHARD
I was thinking we could talk again.
KIRBY
I'm sorry, who's Kirby? I don't know who
that is.
PRICHARD
I know it's you, I saw you when you came in.
KIRBY
Huh? What? Sorry, I, uh - - only speak
Korean. No good my Engrish.
Prichard flips her hair over and Kirby rolls her eyes.
PRICHARD
Seriously, why won't you just talk to me?
Jill starts pouring herself a cup. Cory, as Frankenstein's monster, approaches her from behind.
CORY
Hey Jill.
Jill jumps up and turns around.
JILL
Hey Cory.
She politely hugs him and backs off to show the space.
CORY
Alice, huh? I like it. Fits you.
JILL
Thank you. How does the blonde look?
CORY
It's sexy.
Cory reaches out, trying to hold her hand. She moves way.
JILL
Cory, don't - -
CORY
I'm sorry.
A SCREAM COMES FROM BEHIND. Jill turns around, looking to Kirby - - it's not her, she's turning around also to see the ruckus. OLIVIA RUNS INTO THE ROOM, HER SHOULDER BLOODY - - and she's wearing a denim jacket. GHOSTFACE TRAILS BEHIND HER, BLOODY KNIFE IN HAND. Olivia comes by, PUSHING JILL out of the way and Ghostface continues chase.
Jill stumbles, dropping her punch. Cory looks down, the bottom half of her dress is now red. He kneels down, grabbing napkins from the table and tries to help dry it off. Jill backs off, obviously bothered.
JILL
Cory, it's okay! It's fine!
CORY
Let me try!
JILL
No! GET UP!
Cory obeys, looking down like a dog being punished.
CORY
Sidney Prescott over there pushed you.
Just wanted to clean it up.
JILL
I understand! But that's not your job.
You're NOT my boyfriend. Got it?
Jill turns around, walking back to Kirby. Olivia joins a group of her friends, Ghostface behind her. He's now starting to jiggy to the music. One of the friends pulls the mask off - - it's Shirley. They all laugh together.
JILL
Can we go?
KIRBY
Sure.
PRICHARD
Wait!
KIRBY
Prichard! I won't go out with you! Face it.
JILL
Wait, why is Prichard asking you out?
PRICHARD
It's none of your business, Jill.
KIRBY
You see. Because of that. Because you
act like a dick. Why would anyone want
to go out with you? And I heard about
what you said about the movie my friends
made earlier.
PRICHARD
I was just being honest!
KIRBY
There's a threshold, Prichard!
JILL
Um, c'mon. Please.
Jill starts to drag Kirby out and they exit. They stand outside the door, Jill breathing harder trying to get in all the fresh air.
KIRBY
Jill, are you okay?
JILL
Yeah, yeah - - I'm fine.
KIRBY
Why'd you wanna leave?
JILL
... it's nothing.
KIRBY
Well c'mon, let's stay than.
JILL
So Captain Douche Bag can bug you more?
KIRBY
That's nothing I can't handle.
JILL
Go ahead inside, I'll be another minute.
KIRBY
You sure?
JILL
Yeah, I just need fresh air.
Kirby goes back inside. She dances a bit to the music - - she doesn't really know how to though. Stephie approaches her from behind - - hair covering her face. SHE GRABS HER SHOULDER. Kirby spins around - - it's like looking in the mirror. She throws the hair out of her face.
STEPHIE
It's a me, Kirby!
KIRBY
Oh, Stephie!
STEPHIE
You Ju-On too?
KIRBY
Ju-On? Oh, The Grudge? No, I'm Samara
from The Ring. Or, um, Ringu.
STEPHIE
OOOOOH, very good costume.
CUT TO:
EXT. GAS STATION - NIGHT
Niley exits the gas station, a map in her hands. She returns to the van and gets in the back.
ROBBIE
So where are we? You find out.
BENNY
I should've never agreed to this.
JENNY
Shut up, let Niley talk.
(beat)
Niley, you figure it out?
NILEY
We're... in Burbank. So at least we're not
THAT lost or off track.
ROY
This is why you should buy a GPS, Benny.
BENNY
Shut up, alright?
Benny turns the car on and drives off the establishment, coming to an intersection. They wait at the red light.
BENNY
So tell me where to go now.
JENNY
Let me see the map.
Niley passes up the map. Jenny looks at it, putting on her window.
JENNY
Okay, um...
The light turns green. Benny slowly starts to move up.
BENNY
I need to know where to go, guys.
JENNY
Just give me a second.
CHARLIE
Why'd you even leave the gas station if
you didn't know where to go?
BENNY
Hey, I'm the driver!
NILEY
And your driving SUCKS! Muahahaha.
BENNY
Whatever, you guys are a bunch of little
pricks, you know that?
JENNY
Oh, found it!
Jenny takes down the map - - A CAR RACES TOWARDS HER WINDOW. She looks at Benny, his eyes widening in terror.
JENNY
What?
BENNY
HOLD ON!
SLAM! THE CAR PLOWS INTO THE SIDE OF THEM, SPINNING THE VAN IN CIRCLES AND IT HITS THE SIDEWALK, FLIPPING IT UPSIDE DOWN. It SMASHES into a light pole and it snaps, crashing down on them. The light BURSTS on the tire, catching it on fire.
The other car is a wreck, the entire front end now practically in the back seat. Blood spills from the door. BACK TO THE VAN - - everyone inside is knocked out, hanging upside down from their seat belts.
ANGLE ON - - ROY'S EYE OPENS. We zoom out, he's stuck. He sees everyone else around him knocked out, glass on the roof below him and the smell of fire starting to come under his nose. He begins to panic.
ROY
(tearing at the seatbelt)
HELP! Robbie!
Roy pushes Robbie's body - - it just swings there. He looks over at Charlie - - nothing. He looks up at Jenny - - her entire arm is a bloody mess.
ROY
Jenny!
He looks around some more... where's Niley?
ROY
Robbie! Wake up!
(pushing him more)
Where's Niley? Where's Niley!
THE MUSIC RISES. On the outside in the pavement outside of the van, we DOLLY BACK low to the ground. We come to - - A BLOODY FEMALE HAND laying in the glass. We can hear Roy's yell from inside the van as it begins to SPREAD IN FLAMES.
ROY
HEEEEEELP!
SMASH TO BLACK.
TO BE CONTINUED.
