Inside the newsvan.
Kenny: (looking at the monitor) You are such a genious.
Gale: (stepping into the van) The plan is set into action. We're golden.
Kenny: Aww shit.
Gale: What?
Kenny: We have a delay.
Gale: How long is it?
Kenny: I don't know. However long it took for you to get here from the house. 30 seconds?
Gale: Tell me, Kenny, has a cheesy tabloid journalist ever won the Pulitzer?
Kenny: There's a first time for everything.
Inside Stu's house. Many kids are starting to leave. Sidney is ready to go she calls for Tatum. No answer.
Billy appears in a classic fake scare.
Sidney: Billy? Jesus, you scared me.
Stu appears
Stu: Billy. What are you doing here?
Billy: I was hoping Sid and I could talk.
Sidney: If Tatum see you—she'll draw blood.
Stu: You guys can go up to my parents room? To talk and…whatever.
Billy: Subtlety, Stu. Look it up.
Sidney: It's okay. We need to talk.
Sidney grabs his hand and leads him up the staircase. Randy appears from the kitchen just in time to see Sidney and Billy disappear upstairs.
Randy: What's Leatherface doing here?
Stu: He came to kiss and make up.
Randy: There goes my chance with Sid. Dammit.
Stu: As if. That's all I'm saying as if.
Randy: Oh really Alicia. As if. I'm going to check on them.
Drake walks up to Stu.
Drake: Have you seen Michelle anywhere. It's getting late. I thought I'd take her home.
Stu: No. I haven't seen Tatum either. They probably bailed a while ago. But you're welcome to stay awhile.
Drake: Alright. I might as well. Safety in numbers right.
Stu nods.
Inside The Bedroom.
Sidney: So…
Billy: So…I'm sorry. I've been selfish lately.
Sidney: No, Billy. I'm the one who's been selfish and self-absorbed with all of my post traumatic stress.
Billy: You lost your mom…
Sidney: But you're right—enough is enough. I can't wallow in the grief process forever and I can't keep lying to myself about who my mom was.
Billy bows his head quietly, knowingly.
Sidney: I think…I'm scared I'm gonna turn out just like her, you know? Like the bad seed or something…
Billy: Oh Sidney…
Sidney: Everytime I get close to you I see my mom. I know it doesn't make sense.
Billy: Sure it does. It's like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs when she kept having flashbacks of her dead father.
Sidney: But this is life. This isn't a movie.
Billy: Sure it is, Sid. It's all a movie. Life's one great big movie. Only you can't pick your genre.
Billy movers to her. They embrace, tenderly.
Sidney: I wanna let go. I do…
Billy: Sssshh…everything's gonna be okay. I promise.
Sidney: Why can't I be a Meg Ryan movie?
Billy nibbles her neck.
Billy: Sshh…it's okay.
Sidney: Or even a good porno.
Billy: (shocked) What?
Sidney: You heard me.
Billy: Are you serious?
Sidney: Yeah…I think so.
They smile at each other.
Meanwhile… Inside the family room.
Random Teen: Look, here it comes. Splat!
Drake: The blood's not the right color. Why do they do that? It's too red.
Randy: Here comes another…
Drake: Predictable. Knew he was going to bite it.
Random Teen: How can you watch this shit over and over?
Randy: Shhhh.
I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts. When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts?
Randy: Not until Trading Places in '83. Jamie Lee was always the virgin in horror movies. She didn't show her tits until she went legits.
Random Teen: No way.
Randy: That's why she always lived. Only virgins can outsmart the killer in the big chase scene in the end. Don't you know the rules.
Stu finishes his beer.
Stu: What rules?
Randy, shocked, hits the pause button on the remote and stands in front of the television.
Randy: There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance: Number 1. You can never have sex. Sex equals death. 2. Never drink or do drugs. The sin factor. It's an extension of number one. And Rule Number 3. Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, say "I'll be right back." Cause you won't be back.
Stu: I'm grabbing another beer. You want one.
Randy: Yeah sure.
Stu: I'll be right back! (goes to the kitchen)
Everybody Ohs.
Randy: There he goes folks—a dead man. Wave bye-bye. Later I'll go into the kitchen and I'll see him with a knife.
Stu returns.
Stu: I'm telling you I'm not Dying!
Randy: Whatever dead boy.
Inside the Newsvan
Gale and Kenny watch the monitor. The party is clearing out some.
Gale: This is so boring. Who cares.
There's a knock on the door of the van. Kenny turns of the monitor.
Dewey: The department just radioed me. I'm gonna check out a possible lead. Thought you might like to join me.
Gale: What kind of lead?
Dewey: A car was spotted in the bushes a little ways up the road.
Gale: I'd love to. If you're sure it's alright?
Dewey: Ma'am, I am the Deputy of this town.
Gale: (to Kenny) I'll be back.
She slides the van door closed and heads for Dewey's patrol jeep.
Dewey: Actually, I thought we could walk. It's not far.
Gale appears skeptical, but smiles anyway. She finds herself attracted to Dewey.
Inside Living Room (Randy, Stu, Drake, 4 other teens)
Randy: Look, here comes the obligatory tit shot.
Other Guys: Beautiful! Finally!
Inside the Bedroom – Continuous
Billy and Sidney are going at it…passionately. He has his head buried in her neck. Sidney pushes Billy off here as she pulls her shirt over her head. She fumbles with the clasp of her bra as the screen switched over to the living room.
Back in the living room, the horror fest continues when the phone rings. Randy picks it up.
Randy: Hello? Yeah….Holy Shit.
Randy, freaked, drops the phone, finds the TV remote and pauses the movies, the others protest.
Randy: Listen up. They found Principal Himbry dead. He was gutted and hung from the goal post on the football field.
This stills the room. Complete silence as the news sinks in.
Random Teen: So what are we waiting for?
Drake: Let's get over there before they pry him down.
Stu: Oh my god! I'm coming too.
And in seconds the room is empty as everyone bolts for the door leaving Randy, near drunk, alone in the living room.
Randy: We were just getting to the good part.
Inside the Newsvan Minutes later
Kenny is barely watching the monitor, he reached boredom some time ago. He finds a bag of Cheetos and chows down when he hears Screaming from outside. He peers out the window to see the last of the party kids pile into two cars and race off down the road.
Inside the bedroom.
The sex is over and both Sid and Billy are dressing respectively. That post-sex awkwardness. Sidney brushes out her hair as her eyes come to rest on the telephone on the nightstand…it puzzles her as a stark revelation crosses her face. She turns to Billy who sits on the floor, putting on his shoes.
Sidney: Who did you call?
Billy: What?
Sidney: When you're arrested-you're allowed one phone call? Who did you call?
Billy: I called my dad.
Sidney: No, Sheriff Burke called your dad. I saw him.
Billy: Yeah… and when I called no one answered.
Sidney: Uh-huh.
Billy: You don't still think it was me?
Sidney: No, but if it were you, that would have been a very clever way to throw me off track. Using your phone one phone call to call me so I wouldn't think it was you.
Billy: What do I have to do to prove to you I'm not a killer.
Sidney: Oh my God.
Billy: Sid What.
The killer is standing right behind Billy. Billy tries to calm her, oblivious to the advancing figure.
Sidney: BILLYWATCHOUT!
Billy barely turns as a long steely blade rises high in the air. It strikes down with force…hitting his chest as blood sprays the air. The killer stabs Billy again and again until his body lies motionless. Sidney takes off like a rocket…leaping over the bed and out the door. Sidney runs down the hall only to be encountered by the killer again. She runs into a room and locks it. It is completely dark. She moves over to a window trying to open it. She's about to step onto the roof when the killer sneeks up behind her. She falls off the roof and lands on the Macher family boat that has a tarp on it. Sidney looks back up to the room to see… NOTHING! She then looks over at the garage. She's crying. She sees Tatum's body hung on the garage door and Michelle's lifeless, bloody body over in the corner of the garage she takes off running.
The scene shifts onto a dark road.
Gale: So is Dewey your real name?
Dewey: Dwight. Dewey was something I got stuck with a long time ago.
Gale: I like it. It's… sexy.
Dewey: Nah…it's just this town's way of not taking me serious.
Gale: What about Gale Weathers? I sound like a meteorologist. People treat me like the Antichrist of television journalism.
Dewey: I don't think you're so bad.
Gale: Maybe that cause you kind of like me.
Dewey starts to say something when headlights appear behind them. They both spin as two cars loaded with kids come racing right at them. Dewey grabs Gale and pushes her off the road just as the cars speed by.
Gale lands face up with Dewey right on top of her. He steals a glance in her eyes. And they kiss passionately.
Dewey: Sorry…I'm on duty.
Gale: Is that what you've been looking for.
Dewey: My whole life.
Gale: No I mean that.
Dewey: (Getting up on his feet.) Shit. It's Neil Prescott's car.
Gale: Sidney's father?
Dewey: We gotta get back. He's here. What the fuck is he doing here?
Inside the living room – continuous
Randy continues to watch Halloween. He is now sloppy drunk, completely involved in the movie on the screen.
Randy: No Jamie. Look behind you! Watch out! Behind you!
And if he followed his own advice, he would see the killer that stands directly behind him.. knife in hand.
Inside the newsvan. Sidney knocks. Kenny lets her in.
Sidney: Oh my god people are dead we need to call the cops.
Their eyes turn to the monitor.
Kenny: Kid. Behind You! Look Behind You!
The kid needs help. Kenny bolts out of his seat and goes for the side door. He slides it open and sticks his head out as a long, sharp blade slices his throat. Kenny falls forward.
Sidney once again crying moves to the back of the nearly escaping as the killer almost grabbed her.
The Front Yard. Gale and Dewey come running up the drive, frantic.
Dewey: I'll call for backup.
Gale: I'll get my camera.
They split up. The camera follows Gale as she rushes to the newsvan, throwing open the door.
Gale: Kenny! Camera! Quick!
The van is empty.
Gale: Kenny?
He's nowhere to be found. She starts to put the car in reverse. Randy comes up to her van but he hits him in the head with a phone multiple times knocking him backwards. Gale now goes forward and she sees Kenny's body on here windshield.
Gale: I'm sorry Kenny but get off my Fucking Wind shield.
Gale continues driving but Sidney runs into the road. Gale swerves and goes off the road. The car runs into a tree. And her body lays still.
Sidney is now headed over to Dewey's jeep.
Sidney: Dewey! Dewey where are you!
The front door of Stu's house opens. It's Dewey.
Dewey: S… S… Sidney.
Dewey falls forward a knife in his back. The killer then appears out of the doorway, picks up the knife and starts running at Sidney. She runs into his jeep, looking for keys. There are none. The killer comes over to a window. Sidney quickly scrolls it up. The killer is now teasing her. Dangling the keys in front of her. He then goes out of sight. Sidney picks up the phone and dials 911.
Assistant: 911 what is your emergency.
Sidney: Help! Please! I'm at Stu Macher's house on 314 Turner Lane. Please, He's gonna kill me!
No sooner does she say this does the killer comes through the trunk and grabs her from the back seat. She hits him and he falls back. When she runs over to the doorstep she picks up Dewey's gun. The killer is gone. Randy comes running up to her.
Randy: Jesus, Sidney. We gotta get the fuck out of here!
Sidney aims the gun at him.
Sidney: Stop. Right there.
Randy: Don't shoot. It's me.
Sidney: Don't come any closer.
Randy: Listen to me, Sid. I found Tatum and Michelle. They've been killed. I think Stu did it.
Stu comes running up the driveway.
Stu: Don't believe him, Sid. He's lying. He killed my girlfriend.
Sidney aims the gun at Stu.
Sidney: Stay away.
Stu: His movie nut mind has snapped, Sid. He's gone psycho.
Randy: Don't listen to him. It's him. He's the one.
Stu: Come on, Sid. Give me the fun.
Randy: No, Sid.
They both mover toward her. There's no time. She must act now.
Sidney: Fuck you both.
She goes into Stu's house locking the door.
Randy: No, Sid. Open up. Please. He's gone Crazy.
Sidney tries to collect herself inside when she hears a clunk from upstairs. She looks to the top of the stairs to see Billy.
Sidney: Oh God. Billy.
He stumbles down the stairs and falls.
Sidney: I thought you were…
Billy: I'm alright. Gotta…get…help.
Sidney: He's out there.
Randy: (through door) Please, you gotta let me in. He's gonna kill me.
Billy goes for the door. Sidney blocks him.
Sidney: No! Don't belive him.
Billy: It's okay. Give me the gun.
Billy opens the door Stu and Randy are waiting to get in. Billy lets Randy in and locks Stu out.
Randy: Stu's flipped out. He's gone mad.
Slowly, a small smile creeps across Billy's face.
Billy: "We all go a little mad sometimes."
Randy squints confuses as Billy aims the gun at Randy and pulls the trigger. The blast throws Randy's body against the wall before sliding to a heap on the floor…still.
Billy: Anthony Perkins-Psycho.
Billy turns to Sidney who stands only feet away, face aghast.
Stu can be heard knocking on the door but Billy won't let him in.
Billy wipes some of the blood dried on his face and licks his finger.
Billy: Corn syrup. Same stuff they used for pig's blood in Carrie.
Sidney is dumfounded. She slowly takes a step back moving into the arms of… Drake!
Sidney: Drake…please…help me…
Drake stares back at her, eyes wide, lips curled in a subtle smile as he holds a voice changer.
Drake: Surprise, Sidney.
