Kevin Williamson and James Ferace
The sound of a phone echos over the Dimension Film Logo as we
cut to see CiCi Cooper,standing alone
in her Sorority house,looking at the phone that sets on the kitchen
counter.
CICI
Why does he keep calling me?!Why?(Very bad acting)
She makes her way over to the phone slowly,picks it up,and holds it to her left ear.
CICI
Stop calling me!
From behind her comes Ghostface.She hears a footstep and turns to face
him.A scream escapes her throat as she rushes from the kitchen
and up the stairs.She stops and turns to see Ghostface right behind
her.
WES CRAVEN
Cut!
It's just a movie,Stab 2.Based on Gale Weather's book.Ghostface comes down the stairs and removes his mask to reveal Mark Krum.
MARK
Nice job Marissa!
Marissa(CiCi)
Thanks,you did a good job too.
MARK
So,since I am such a good actor and such a hunk-o-saurus wanna go out
tonight?
That is,if you feel like it.
MARISSA
Oooh.I wish I could but I am going to a cover shoot for TeeneyBoppers
Magazine.
MARK
Well maybe some other time then,okay?
Wes walks over to the two.
WES
You guys can go on home,we'll finish the scene tommorow morning bright
and early.
MARRISSA
Okay,thanks.Oh,I almost forgot.I left my red scarf in set 503,the auditorium
WES
I think it is open,your more than welcome to go get it.
MARRISSA
Okay.Well I'm off to my dressing room.
MARK
You owe me dinner!(Calling after her.)
INT.Hall
We see Marissa comes out of her dressing room.She is dressed in a whole
new outfit.With a groan she locks the door
and makes her way to set 503.
She walks thrue a passage and then thrue a door.She is now in Set 503.
It is a auditorium.Rows of chairs and a stage are in front of her.
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Suddenly, a <U>familiar</U> <U>male</U> <U>voice</U> comes over the speaker. Marissa looks up, startled.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Hello? Who's down there?
MARISSA
Is that you Mark?
VOICE
No, this isn't Mark. Who are you?
MARISSA
It's....uh....Marissa. Who are you?
VOICE
Hello Marissa.
MARISSA
(confused) Uh...hi...what do you want?
VOICE
You tell me.
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa sighs...like it's a joke.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Do you like scary movies, Marissa?
MARISSA
Are you playing a joke, Mark?
VOICE
Sure, everyone likes scary movies...and if you
know the rules...you should know better than
to shout your friend's name over and over -
that's just asking for trouble...
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa doesn't look amused....a look of fear is growing.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>MARISSA
Okay, very funny. Who's up there?
MARISSA
(cont.)
Look, if you're trying to scare
me, it's not going to work...
VOICE
I already am scaring you...that's too
easy.
MARISSA
(pause) Okay, knock it off, this is really
annoying. I have things to do...
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>She slams the robes down, turns, and stomps away, visibly shaken.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Where are you going?
MARISSA
I'm leaving, I'm sick of this shit...
VOICE
You're not going anywhere...
MARISSA
Oh, FUCK OFF! I know that's you, Mark
VOICE
(laughs) You <U>wish</U> I were Mark
MARISSA
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!! (goes down steps)
VOICE
Aww, come on...don't you want to play a
game?
MARISSA
Look, FUCKING STOP IT right now or I'll...!!!!!
VOICE
You'll what?!?!?! You little whore!!!! Kill me!!!!
It's the other way around, sweetheart!
MARISSA
(stopping in her tracks, becoming hysterical)
FUCK YOU!!!!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!!!
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>She starts running up the aisle towards the open auditorium door. She's just about to reach it when it <U>slams</U> <U>shut</U> right in front of her! She jumps back. The rest of the lights go out.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Oops, wrong door...better try another one.
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa's fear is showing heavily now...she trembles with fright, but darts for the second door, in the middle. Just as she's about to reach it, that one slams shut, too! She hears running outside the door. Marrisa gasps and backs away from it. She's white with fear...she starts crying.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Hmmm....also the wrong one. How about the third?
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>She stands frozen in fear.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>MARISSA
Let me out...
VOICE
All you have to do is play alone...actually,
you are playing along...with an even more
fun game....<U>"Which door am I behind"</U>?
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa looks over at the third (and last) door...a shadow passes quickly by it. She hears sounds behind her on the stage. Marissa gasps! She turns, but no one's there.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Am I outside that third door? You're
just dying to know, aren't you, Marissa?
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>The door loudly slams shut! Marissa screams! She begins backing down the aisle, eyes darting back and forth to all the doors.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Speaking of thirds...that's the topic of the
game...threequels...are you ready to play?
MARISSA
What?
VOICE
Answer correctly and you just might get out
one of those doors, girlie.
MARISSA
(still crying)
I can't do this...please...
VOICE
What character from the original
returned in "Nightmare on Elm Street 3"?
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa tries hard to think in between being terrified.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>MARISSA
I....never saw the first one.
VOICE
That's a shame...goodbye, Marissa.
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>The first door swings open, rapidly! Marissa jumps!!!!!!
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>MARISSA
NANCY!!! NANCY CAME BACK IN THE
THIRD ONE!!!!!!!!
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>The door slams shut.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Verrrry, very good....I'm impressed, Marissa.
Everyone thought Freddy killed her in part one,
but they were wrong... So you <U>did</U> see the
first one...
MARISSA
(winded) My...friend..told me...
VOICE
Ah, a cheater?
MARISSA
NO! No! I knew that one!!!!
VOICE
I'm sorry...rules are rules....
MARISSA
NO!! I ANSWERED IT....I ANSWERED
IT RIGHT!!!!!!
VOICE
Ummmmm....alright...I'll give you that one,
but you're pushing it...you better get the next
one right...with no strings....
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>She spots a pen on the floor. She picks it up and holds it like a knife for protection.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Most second sequels return to the formula of
their originals...returning characters...similar
scenes...what third in a horror series had a
completely different plot and characters than
the previous and subsequent films?
MARISSA
Uh....uh......
VOICE
Think...
MARISSA
Umm...I know this one...uh...HALLOWEEN? 3?
VOICE
Yyyesss!!!! Correct!!!!! It totally ignored the Michael
Myers
storyline and was completely different!!! Very good,
Marissa. You <U>were</U> penalized for that last one, though...
MARISSA
(still backing down the aisle, shocked)
How?
VOICE
Look up...
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa looks up to the balcony....suddenly A BODY DROPS!!!!!! MARISSA SCREAMS!!!!!! It lands in front of her...all bloody and gutted....is MARK!!!!!!!!! Marissa keeps screaming and starts hyperventilating. She drops to her knees...
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Is <U>that</U> the Mark you were talking about?
I'm afraid he didn't have such a safe trip
back to the dorm...now...next question...
MARISSA
(borderline comatose)
No....please....
VOICE
But we're just getting to the good part...Don't
worry about poor Mark...what else can
happen to him? Rules are rules..now,
which horror movies threequel was
originally shown in 3D?
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa is a mess...crying, makeup all running down her face....barely able to get to her feet.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Now, Marissa, if you don't play alone...I'm
afraid of what might happen to <U>you</U>...Shell
was just a warm-up, you know? Now, which
"Part 3" was it? Think...
MARISSA
(barely able to speak)
"Texas Chainsaw Masscre 3"
VOICE
Wrong!!!!! It was "Friday the 13th, Part 3"!!!!!
Jason in all his glory!!!!
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa stops crying as a look of total fright takes over her...she can't move.
</P><P ALIGN=CENTER>VOICE
Well, it was fun while it lasted, but all good
things must come to an end...thanks for
playing, Marissa...
</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Marissa ducks down behind one of the seats....suddenly, behind her on the stage..a black fugure leaps down from above. She looks to the stage and sees the <U>GHOST-MASK KILLER</U> we're all familiar with!!!! He jumps down from the stage and begins running towards the seating area. Marissa, afraid, jumps up and begins running for the doors. Without looking back, she keeps running. She turns to look back only once...and he's RIGHT THERE!!! he grabs her shoulder, but she turns and stabs him in the shoulder with the pen, he releases her and falls down in pain, tripping backwards over the body of Mark. Marissa takes off for the door again...she reaches it, but it won't open. Ghostface gets to his feet, but stumbles over the body. He kicks it and is again after Marissa. She gives the door one last slam and it flies open!
INT. MAIN HALLWAY - NIGHT
Marissa runs out into the hallway. It's dark, but she runs down
the main hallway to get away. She goes to the first door and tries
to open it - locked. She continues trying doors along the hallway,
to no avail. Finally, she finds a pillar to stand behind for refuge.
She looks around down the hallway to the auditorium door she ran out of,
but no one is coming. She looks confused and surprised. She
sneaks out from behind the pillar and begins slowly back down the hallway
Behind her we see a <U>Ghostface</U> costume move across the hallway,
silently. Marissa takes a few more steps...looking only ahead.
Suddenly, she turns and spots him! She screams and takes off down
the hall at top speed with Ghostface close behind!
MARISSA
Help me!
The set seems to be empty.Ghostface costumes are everywhere......
MARISSA
Help!Somone!
Marissa looks at the costumes.Then at the door that is in front of the
costumes.Is it safe?
She runs toward the door.Ghostface jumps out at her.He was there the
whole time!
The two fall to the ground.Ghostface raises a knife in the air.Quickly
he stabs Marissa in the chest.
MARISSA
Uahhhhh!
Ghostface pulls Marissa up to a erect position and slams her against the wall.
MARISSA
Who are you?!Who?
Ghostface grabs her head and throws her into a power box that is on
the wall.Sparks fly as he lets her body jerk violently untill she falls
to the ground as the
power Box explodes once more as the screen cuts to black.
