SCREW'S HOUSE - KITCHEN NIGHT
In black we hear an announcer a la ER
VO
Previously in teen horror films...
A touch tone phone is dialed. It rings once and is answered.
VO
Hello, and welcome to Movie-Phone! If you know the name of the movie you’d like to see, press one. To choose from a list of current, over-priced blood-splattered blockbusters, press two. For big studio bombs starring Robin Williams, press three...
Fade up on
SCREW, a Drew Barrymore look-alike circa Scream, with a cordless phone tucked under her ear. She is home alone. Her call waiting beeps.
She checks caller I.D. before clicking over.
It reads “The Killer -- PRIVATE NUMBER”. Curious, she takes it.
SCREW
Dad?
KILLER
(mechanically altered voice)
Hello, Sydney.
Screw wanders over to bowl of cake frosting on the counter and takes a taste.
SCREW
This isn’t Sydney. I think you have the wrong number.
We hear the inept killer fumble.
KILLER
Wait a minute. What number did I dial?
SCREW
Who is this?
KILLER
(SCARY)
Who is this? (CALL WAITING BEEPS)
SCREW
Is that yours or mine?
KILLER
Ignore it. I have voicemail. (THEN) Do you like movies?
SCREW
Sure. I rented some tonight.
KILLER
What kind of movies?
We see a STACK OF PORNOS on the kitchen counter as she lists them.
STINGER:
Porno music.
SCREW
Oh, the usual, Vaseline Alley, Two Guys a Girl and a Horse, A Big Black...
KILLER
I get it! I get it! Anyway. (REGAINS SCARY AGAIN) Do you like scary movies?
SCREW
You mean like Spike Lee movies?
KILLER
Look lay off Spike. He's keepin' it real. Let’s play a game. Do you like games?
SCREW
I guess...
KILLER
All right. A train leaves Chicago going sixty miles an hour...
SCREW
Math! How am I supposed to know that? I’m a popular, beautiful rich kid with a promising future in a lightweight sorority at a state college. I don’t have to know that stuff. I’m gonna get married...
KILLER
Shut up! Shut up, you nit wit. Do you think this stalking thing is easy?
SFX:
CRASH, SPLASH OVER PHONE
SCREW
Are you in my pool?
SFX:
DIAL TONE
Screw puts the phone down and picks up a huge knife. She uses it to ice a cake.
SFX:
Phone rings
She answers.
BACKGROUND:
The Killer runs by in the background (a la Scream) Very scary until just before he leaves frame, his flowing black robe catches on a table (or something else - See John Blanchard) and tears off. His bare arm reaches back and grabs the robe.
SCREW

Will you accept the charges?
SCREW
Whatever.
KILLER
Thanks, where were we, Screw?
SCREW
Now look, geek.
KILLER
No, you look. If you don’t get this question right you’re dead meat. Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?
SCREW
Ummm, Hugh Grant?
KILLER
I’m afraid not, Genius.
SCREW
It was Amy Grant, wasn't it? I was gonna say that...
KILLER
It doesn't matter. You didn’t answer in the form of a question!
Suddenly the Killer BURSTS out of the huge cake Screw has been icing. He is wearing a flowing, hooded, black robe, a hockey mask and very distinctive boots.
SCREW
Hey, you’re not Marilyn Melons!
Screw runs out the back door and facefirst into a bug zapper. It’s a mortal blow (or jolt).
Her eyes cross and she falls backwards onto her back, dead as a doorknob. There are grill marks on her face like a Burger King hamburger.
SFX:
Thud of something hitting the porch next to her.
ANGLE ON
the just delivered MORNING PAPER with a picture of Screw laying dead on the ground and the headline “Popular Slut Killed” and the subhead "Football Team Mourns".
ANGLE BACK on The Killer who rolls his eyes. Defeated, he sticks a cigarette through the mouth hole in his mask and strikes a match.
The match gets too close to the mask and it begins to melt. He panics and tries to put the flame out by sticking his face into the birdbath. Too late. When he pulls his face out, he pops an apple out of his mouth and we see the mask is now twisted into a longer, distorted mask.
THE KILLER
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Screen SHATTERS to black. Title sequence rolls over music...
FADE UP ON:

BULEMIA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL - MORNING
It’s a sunny, bucolic morning outside the LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL.
As students meander toward their first class, we pan across a stone carved sign reading “Bulemia Falls High School - Home of the Hurlers.” In smaller letters, the latin school motto - "E Vomitus Unim".

BULEMIA FALLS HIGH - HALLWAY - DAY
As we dolly through the front door the camera breaks through YELLOW POLICE TAPE marked “Police Crime Scene - No Evidence Planting”. A leather glove is dropped into frame. It was on the end of a pointer so as to avoid fingerprints.
We pass a cigarette machine bearing a Joe Mammal (Parody of Joe Camel) sign. It reads “Must be 21.” Joe's fingers are crossed and he’s giving a huge knowing wink.
Continuing down the hallway we pass several doors marked...

BULEMIA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL-NEAR PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE- DAY
We arrive at the ADMINISTRATIVE/PRINCIPAL’S office and find DAWSON A. DEERY, (THINK JAMES VAN DER BEEK LOOK-ALIKE) an overly attractive “seventeen” year old.
Dawson is finishing up the registration process with a frumpy SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, in a bright blue dress. She holds a CANDLESTICK for no apparent reason. She plants the candlestick down next to her NAMEPLATE reading “MRS. PEACOCK” and hands Dawson a paper reading “Last Will And Testament”.
MRS. PEACOCK
Okay, Dawson. If you’ll just sign here, you’ll be officially registered at Bulemia Falls High School.
He SIGNS and she immediately whips him around and SLAPS a huge OFFICIAL LOOKING SIGN reading “NEW KID” on his back.
BACKGROUND:
A trophy case holding a gun rack and the various weapons from the movie Clue - A rope, a lead pipe, a wrench, a revolver and a knife, a DUMMY in a lucite box (Lenin), a stuffed swordfish, a cooler (like at 7-11) full of beer. (SEE John Blanchard for final preferences.)
BACKGROUND:
A poster that reads “GANG SIGN LANGUAGE”. It looks just like a a real sign language poster, but instead of the hands showing us how to make letters, they are showing us how to throw (gang) signs.
Another kid in the office, SLAB - a typical muscle head, although fabulously attractive and coifed to the gills.
SLAB)
(SLAPPING THE BOOKS OUT OF DAWSON’S HANDS)
Hey, new kid!
MRS. PEACOCK
Slab, is that the way we introduce ourselves to the new kid?
SLAB
Sorry, Mrs. Peacock.
Slab throws a fake punch. Dawson FLINCHES giving Slab the desired result.
SLAB
(CONT'D)
Ha! Two for flinchin’, New Kid.
Slab slams a fist into Dawson’s gut doubling him over, then pounds his other fist into the back of his head driving him to the floor.
DAWSON
(WITH THE WIND KNOCKED OUT)
Hi, I’m Dawson.
MRS. PEACOCK
That’s better.
Dawson starts to gather his scattered books - HIGH SCHOOL FOR DUMMIES, IDIOT’S GUIDE TO LOSING YOUR VIRGINITY AND FOREVER BY JUDY BLUME. On this last one, we hear...
STINGER:
Suspicious music
In front of him, a door OPENS and Dawson finds himself staring at a beautiful pair of legs in fishnet stockings. He follows them up to the micro-mini skirt they’re attached to.
Dawson follows the body all the way up to the plastic face with the permanently gaping mouth and slightly blue-ish tone. It is “RESUSCI-ANNIE.”
She is being held by BONER, a text book, sex-starved, hairy palmed high school geek.
PRINCIPAL
(OS)
We have rules at this school, Mister. And “no” means “no”.
Boner is shoved toward the door and Annie is grabbed from him.
BONER

I’m never gonna get laid. (THEN, UNDER HIS BREATH) Wannabe.
MRS. PEACOCK
Oh, Dawson. I’d like to introduce you to Principal Interest.
PRINCIPAL

Ahem.
STINGER:
Prince’s “Raspberry Beret”
Camera pans left to reveal COOLIO. He is dressed as the lost member of The New Revolution - High collared puffy shirt, purple velvet waistcoat, hair covering one eye and a red beret with a huge raspberry on top. He sports a big hairy Prince mole on his cheek.
MRS. PEACOCK
Oh, I’m sorry. (DELIBERATE) “The Administrator Formerly Known As Principal.” (UNDER HER BREATH) Wannabe.
AFKAP
Hey, New Kid!
He reaches around and gives Dawson a MASSIVE WEDGIE.
AFKAP
(CONT'D)
Well, Dawson, looks like you'll need someone to show you the ropes, the dark hiding places, the crime lab. Boner?
BONER
It’s pronounced Bah-Ner, sir. The “O” is soft.
AFKAP
Not according to Resusci-Annie. Just take him around. And for God’s sake, wash your hands first. Mary, you're next.
A blonde girl whose bangs are sticking straight up a la Something About Mary follows AFKAP into his office.
ANGLE ON
BONER
BONER
Hi, I’m Bonner. Nice to meet you.
Boner extends his hand in greeting. Dawson is skeeved.
Suddenly a girl comes crashing into the boys. It is BARBARA, our engenue and the school’s most stuck up, popular bitch. She is wearing a slightly worn sash reading “Ms. Kielbasa" and a battered rhinestone tiara.
Barbara is fighting with someone off screen.
BARBARA
(YELLING TO OFF SCREEN) Oh yeah? “Witch?” Try “rhymes with...” Charmed my ass! Call me. (THEN, TO THE BOYS) Goddamn Shannon Doherty. Oh, hey, New Kid! I’m Barbara. How 'bout a Hertz Donut?
DAWSON
Sure, I guess.
Expecting a tasty treat, Dawson is surprised when Barbara pounds him in the shoulder.
DAWSON
(CONT'D)
Ouch!!!
BARBARA
Hurts, don't it?
MARTINA, an athletic, cleat clad teenager bursts in wearing an all-black softball JERSEY, with multi-colored (rainbow) letters reading “The Advo-Cats.” Beautiful in a softball dyke kind of way.
BARBARA

Hi, Martina.
MARTINA
Hey guys. Hi, Mrs. Peacock. Hey...New Kid.
She is struck by the instant attraction they both feel for each other.
STINGER:
PORNO MUSIC as...
MARTINA AND DAWSON check each other out.
From Martina’s POV, Dawson now wearing SKIN TIGHT FOOTBALL PANTS (laces undone), a PLUMBER’S TOOL BELT, a skinny HEADBAND, a huge MONKEY WRENCH hoisted onto one shoulder, a thick, black VILLAGE PEOPLE MUSTACHE and a COWBOY HAT. He is completely OILED and covered in a sexy sheen of SWEAT. A Marlboro CIGARETTE hangs seductively from his lips. He is an Adonis in her eyes.
Dawson looks at Martina and feels the same connection. From his POV, Martina is dressed as a sexy version of a GIRL SCOUT wielding a FEATHER DUSTER and BOX OF HOT POCKETS. She wears a garter belt and is sucking a long, cylindrical lollipop (the battery operated rotating kind).
DAWSON
Hi, I’m Duh...Duhhh...Dawwww...D-D-D-D-Dawssss...
MRS. PEACOCK
Dawson, Martina. Martina, Dawson. He’s the new kid. He (MOCKING) stuh-stuh-stutters. Shhh. (THEN) Now, beat it. I have permanant records to alter.
Dawson and Martina are shaken out of their trance.
The fivesome WANDER into the HALLWAY. Barabara takes off her crown and sash.
That’s when Dawson notices that Martina’s shirt reads “The Advo-Cats.” He is confused, but not unattracted.
MARTINA

One of the GENERIC STUDENTS is actually The Killer wearing a backpack and baseball cap. No one notices. He grabs ANOTHER GENERIC STUDENT from behind to strangles him with a long strand of dental floss. It breaks and the kid runs away.
BARBARA
Well, at least I feel safe here. (THEN) Hi Chuckie!
A MIDGET with red hair and a jumpsuit (THINK CHUCKIE FROM CHILD’S PLAY) walks by sharpening a knife.
CHUCKIE
Wanna play?
BONER
We’ll definitely be okay at school.

Ahhh.
A news van with an EMPTY-V (MTV) logo wheels into the parking lot and then up onto the grass in front of them.
BONER
I hope that’s Barbara Walters. What a rack.
An attractive reporter, HAGITHA UTSLAY, hops out of the van followed by a chubby camera guy. The cameraman wears a yellow jacket (or sweatshirt or t-shirt or hat) reading "Hardly Copy". Hagitha talks to the kids as the camera guy starts to set up.
HAGITHA
Hi, I’m Hagitha Utslay from Empty-V News. Kids, what do you think...
Just then Hagitha spots Dawson.
HAGITHA
(CONT'D)
Is that...Dawson? Wait! (TO CAMERA GUY) Tape this! Chop, chop you fat rat bastard!!!
Dawson turns and faces her. There is obviously some history here. The camera guy starts rolling.
HAGITHA

I’m Hagitha Utslay live from Bulemia Falls High with a group of “innocent” students, most importantly - Dawson Deery. Student, drum major...
Dawson winces on this disclosure.
HAGITHA

...and inspiration for my best-selling book “Dawson Is A Murderer.”
She whips out her colorful, POP UP CHILDREN’S BOOK.
DAWSON
That book sucked.
HAGITHA
Not according to Oprah. It was her pick of the month.
DAWSON
So was Chicken Soup For The Butt. But that doesn’t mean I killed anyone. Now get away from me.
HAGITHA
Come on Dawson, isn’t it a fact that your entire family was murdered under mysterious circumstances while you were at "camp"? And that’s why you left your old school?

Doughy TIPS his hat to Hagitha. ELECTRICAL SPARKS fly between Doughy and Hagitha, literally - REAL ELECTRICAL SPARKS fly.
DAWSON
That’s no lady.

What are you doing here anyway, Doughy? You’re not a real cop. Shouldn’t you be guarding the Orange Julius?

Dawson looks at Martina suspiciously again.
HAGITHA
Excuse me. I hate to interrupt the family reunion, but are you actually working on this case? Officer...?
DOUGHY
Primessuspekt. Doughy Primessuspekt. And, yes. Technically, this falls under my jurisdiction. “The Killer” costume was stolen from the Spencers in my mall, along with a couple of whoopee cushions and some fake dog shit.(TO HAGITHA) Pardon me, “canine” shit.

SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY
As the bell rings, the hallway quickly EMPTIES as STUDENTS run to class. Barbara finds herself in a deserted, lonely hallway.
Eerie and dark, it’s the kind of set up killers dream of.
BACKGROUND:
A TUMBLEWEED blows by.
SFX:
An ominous, low rumble is heard and grows louder and louder.
Barbara’s eyes scan the horizon for the source. Nothing.
SFX:
The rumbling continues to grow.
Barbara becomes increasingly nervous. She starts running.
SFX:
The rumbling continues to grow.
She jumps to the side and we see a bowling ball roll past .
Barbara darts into the nearby LADIES ROOM. The SIGN on the door, the international symbol for women, has her knees locked together - she’s holding it in.
SFX:
A bowling ball SMASHES into pins. It’s a strike!
ANGLE BACK TO THE OTHER END OF THE HALLWAY
where we see three bowlers high-fiving each other.
INT.
LADIES ROOM - CONTINUOUS - DAY
Barbara closes the door behind her. She is breathing heavy. She takes a moment and composes herself.
Suddenly she realizes she’s not alone. There are two other FEMALES already there in stalls mid-conversation.
FEMALE #1
How about that Michael Dunne. There’s an ass that won’t quit.
FEMALE #2
You’re telling me. He’s in my third period class. I’d like to jump his bones.
SFX:
Two flushes.
Barbara ducks into a stall to avoid conversation.
GRAFFITI ON THE STALL READS: “Bill and Monica forever (TLA)”, “Eddie loves Ru Paul”, “Anything over eight pounds must be lowered.” “Flush twice - It’s a long way to the cafeteria.”
The two women exit their stalls and we reveal that they are prudish and elderly, obviously teachers. As they wash their hands and exit, we hear the following conversation.
TEACHER #1
Did you finish grading your term papers?
TEACHER #2
I was too hung over. Did you read any of yours?
TEACHER #1
Nah. I never read ‘em.
TEACHER #2
Who does? Hey, do you know where I can get an unregistered handgun?
TEACHER #1
You got fifty bucks?
They exit.
Barbara, still frightened, exits her stall. She is WASHING HER HANDS when she gets a strange feeling she is being watched.
She is. A PERISCOPE is retracted from the stall on the end just before she turns around. She sees nothing at first, but is not satisfied. This is a horror film parody, so naturally she doesn’t head for the door.
Instead, she bends over and looks underneath the stalls.
After a beat, an ominous-looking boot (obviously The Killer’s) slowly drops to the floor.
Barbara is terrified as the second foot joins it. She’s about to scream when a THIRD FOOT drops. Then a FOURTH. A FIFTH FOOT drops. Barbara is now terrified, but perplexed.
The stall door FLIES OPEN. There’s The Killer poised to kill. Barbara is about to scream, but is struck by an idea instead.
STINGER:
MENTOS-ISH commercial theme music (PARODY OF MENTOS COMMERCIAL MUSIC) begins.
BARBARA
whips out a PACK of “MENTALS” (PARODY OF MENTOS) and pops one in her mouth. In an exact MENTOS PARODY...
She smiles knowingly, and breaks the HEELS off of her shoes.
She turns and finds a previously unnoticed female washroom attendant - an OLD LADY sitting next to a table of perfume bottles, mouthwash, mints, tiny (airplane) liquor bottles, cigars, etc. Barabara yanks the old lady’s skirt off. She throws it in The Killer’s direction and bolts.
The old lady sneers at Barbara and then gives a warm smile. So proud.
Blinded by the skirt, The Killer tries to run after her, but ends up tangled and bumbling.

INT.
HALLWAY - JUST OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM - DAY
The Killer STUMBLES out of the ladies room, whips the skirt off and spots Barbara at the end of the hall.
She gives him the patented smug MENTOS SMILE AND THUMBS UP.

DARK CRAWLSPACE - MOMENTS LATER - DAY
In a long forgotten passageway behind the walls of the adjoining locker rooms, Boner is dressed in all black, and breathing heavy. We’re not saying he’s The Killer, but he does look pretty suspicious.
He wields an ancient set of blue prints, a miner’s flashlight helmet and a hand drill. He's drilling a hole in the wall and checks his watch.
Suddenly he stops. He thinks he heard a noise, even though he was supposed to be alone.
Nothing. He scans the area. We follow his flashlight.
He screams bloody murder and we reveal a skeleton dressed in fifties clothes, wearing an identical helmet and carrying an identical drill. Pinned on his book bag is a name tag “Property of Pee-Wee.”
At the sound of showers starting and the sight of steam rising from the other side of the wall, Boner regains his composure and continues drilling.
BONER
Two minutes to shower time. Or should I say “show time”.
With one last turn, he's through just as the sound of showers start.
Suddenly, he jumps, he thinks he heard a noise behind him.
BONER

Nothing. Scared, but consumed by lust, Boner shrugs it off and leans in to get an eyeful. We see a naked body.

The Killer turns and sees Boner's eye. He covers himself, embarassed. (THEN) He lunges toward him.

TRACK - DAY
Martina (in silk-ish running shorts and tank top track uniform) is fininshing stretching and takes her mark to run a few laps.
After a few seconds she feels something behind her.
STINGER:
Scary music.
She looks over her shoulder and sees the Killer running about fifteen yards behind her. He’s brandishing his knife and gaining quickly.
STINGER:
More scary music.
Terrified, Martina speeds up, breathless in panic and exertion.
As the Killer catches up, raises his knife and makes his move to kill her,the previously unseen crowd on the sidelines roars.
STINGER:
Scary music that turns into a Chariots of Fire parody.
The chase is now a full fledged race. Maybe there’s even a slow motion Chariots of Fire shot.
A man on the sidelines hands Martina water and the Killer Killeraide. She drinks it, crumples the cup and tosses it. The Killer dumps his Killeraide over his hood and mask.
Martina and the Killer now inexplicably have race numbers pinned on their backs and fronts.
SFX:
thundering hooves a la a horse race
HORSE RACE ANNOUNCER
...and we’re down to the wire. In the lead the Killer and here comes Martina...
The crowd is on it’s feet.
Martina and the Killer cross the finish line in a photo finish, with the Killer lunging forward at the last second to break the tape.
ANGLE ON
the track coach at the finish line with his stop watch. He clicks it off and is impressed with the Killer’s time.
The crowd rushes the track and then hoists the Killer on their shoulders, and pours Killeraide all over him.
Martina regains her composure and takes the opportunity to escape.
She bolts and the Killer watches, stuck on their shoulders unable to get down.

His buddies are non-plussed.

Slab is left alone.
SLAB
Well, of course it’s stupid if no one else sings. Dicks.
He goes back to work on the engine and after a moment hears a noise. He stops and looks around. Nothing.
He returns to his work. Behind him, an engine mysteriously starts.
SLAB
Mr. Andretti?
Reveal a VINTAGE CHEVY, and in a parody of Stephen King’s Christine, it’s lights pop on and it’s radio, tuned to a 50’s station, JUMPS TO LIFE.
For no apparent reason, aside from our artistic needs, the garage is now dark - except for Christine’s headlights which are now glaring at a confused Slab. In a sudden burst, the engine revs, the car is thrown into gear and it PEELS OUT on a collision course with Slab. Slab starts screaming as he prepares to die (even though he clearly has time to escape).
SLAB
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...
WE CUT dramatically back and forth between Christine’s POV and Slab’s womanly screaming, building the tension as the speedometer climbs, the gas peddle is floored and the wheels spin faster and faster. Although the garage is only 50 feet long, it appears much longer and larger to accommodate the car’s incredible speed.
SLAB
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH AND STARTS AGAIN)
...Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Finally, we hear a police siren and the roar of a motorcycle For the first time, we see Christine’s DRIVER as he is pulled over by a mirrored sunglass wearing cop. Naturally, it’s The Killer, and he stares in shock and rage at a SPEED LIMIT sign posted in the garage: SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY (two stick figures in hockey helmets bang into each other ) - He is incredulous at his luck.
He brings the car to a halt inches from a terrified and still screaming Slab.
COP
License and active warrants.

The film begins with an on screen parental warning which is a dead on parody of the ones seen on HBO.

STINGER:
Scary music begins low and starts to grow, giving our audience the universal cue that something scary might be about to happen.
Sensing that he is not alone, Dawson loses the glasses. His eyes snap left, then right, searching.
The scary music grows louder and more urgent. The camera gets closer. The tension is heightened. Dawson sweats, but is too afraid to look behind him. He clutches his threatening note in his clammy hand.
The music rises to such a pitch that it drowns out the moans and groans of Pam and Tommy. Dawson can’t take it anymore. He whips around. The music reaches a terrifying crescendo.
Reveal a FRESHMAN STUDENT sitting in front of a tiny CASIO KEYBOARD WITH PIPES A LA CHURCH ORGANS. He is the source of the scary music.
DAWSON
Do you mind practicing somewhere else?
Relieved, Dawson returns to the movie. The student gathers his music and SPLITS.
SCARY MUSIC
begins again. Dawson rolls his eyes, cracks his knuckles and turns to give the freshman a few “Shut up Noogies” only to find The Killer sitting at the Casio. There is now a tip jar resting on top.
The shadows of the room fall onto The Killer’s mask in such a way as to create the appearance of the Phantom Of The Opera. Not so coincidentally, The Killer bangs out the first couple of notes of that musical. On the final notes, he slams his fingers onto the keyboard and jumps up knife at the ready. The film plays on.
Dawson searches the room frantically.
He grabs a ROCK.
Thwarted, the Killer drops his knife and whips out a blank sheet of PAPER.
Undaunted, Dawson produces a pair of SCISSORS.
DAWSON
(cont’d)
Scissor’s cut paper. You lose.
The Killer eyes Dawson’s rock and then immediately smashes an emergency box behind him. The box is marked “In Case Of Scissors Break” From inside, he pulls out a bottle.
He smashes that against the wall and brandishes the jagged edge at a now fearful Dawson.
Dawson finds a similar box next to him. He smashes it and removes the gun he finds inside.
He holds it menacingly and then after a beat smashes it against the wall. It breaks just like the bottle did.
He brandishes it’s jagged edge at the Killer.
Unfazed, the Killer rushes him, tackling him in one move. They wrestle and from our POV Dawson is getting the crap beaten out of him. It’s hard to tell, the Killer’s robe is covering everything.
Suddenly Dawson crawls out from between the Killer’s legs, apparantly unnoticed since the Killer keeps fighting - arms flailing, fists flying, bottle stabbing.
Dawson dusts himself off, watches the Killer for a second and then slips out but not before grabbing a tip from the tip jar or before putting a tip in the jar.
Dawson bolts out the door, but not before grabbing a few bills from the tip jar.

He fingers through the collection and settles on the SOCKER BOPPERS©.
As he comes toward him, AFKAP strikes a tough guy KARATE POSE. But it looks as if the Killer is going after Annie instead. So in a slo-motion act of chivalry, AFKAP dives in front of his beloved.
In the process, his tie gets caught in the whirlpool mechanism. He gets pulled in, tighter and tighter until he is strangled to death. He lays in a heap in Annie’s arms. A tear rolls down her cheek. They both have the same SHOCKED AND PAINED EXPRESSION on their face.

SLAB’S HOUSE - NIGHT
There is a small party (20 kids - 15 extras + our kids) in full swing. Evidently, word got out that Slab’s parents were dead for the weekend.
As the camera winds it’s way through the living room we see THE PLATFORM SHOE GIRL, now wearing even higher platforms.
DAWSON
(OS)
HEY, WATCH THAT CEILING FAN.
Platform shoe girl doesn't hear the warning in time.
SFX:
The sickening thwapping of a head in a fan.
We see THREE PET FEEDING BOWLS on the floor. On each bowl is the pet’s name - ”CHEAP SHOT”, “LAME GAG”, and “DEAD HORSE”.
SLAB
(OS)
Has anyone seen my cats?
We continue on to the other side of the living room.
Boner is romancing TIFFANY in one corner. She is obviously inebriated.
BONER
...So I grabbed the bastard by his cheap costume and threw him against the wall and said to him...
The girl BLOWS CHOW onto Boner’s feet and promptly passes out, dropping out of frame onto the floor. There is a beat as Boner realizes his luck.

Hagitha WHEELS UP in the EMPTY-V “news” van, new fatter cameraman behind the wheel.
HAGITHA
So, Doughy, you all ready for tonight?
DOUGHY
Let’s just say I’ve got an itchy trigger finger.
He pulls out some lotion and puts it on his finger.
HAGITHA

How about Teletubbies?
BARBARA
Nah, we don’t have any pot.
MARTINA

Ewwwwwww!!!
BARBARA
Parodies are lame. I’m gonna get some more beer. I’ll be back.
MARTINA
(EXCITEDLY)
What are you crazy? You can’t talk like that. This is a parody situation.
SLAB
What are you talking about?
MARTINA
A parody. A killer in a The Killer costume slaughtering horny, good looking students at a ridiculously named high school? Anybody ever see Scream?
GROUP
(NOT GETTING IT)
YEAH!!! Great flick! Bad ending!
MARTINA
For Christ sakes, “EMPTY-V”? That’s the worst pun I ever heard. It’s so easy. And hello! We all got notes - “I Know What You Did Last Summer”?!?
SLAB
That’s not what mine said.
BARBARA
How would you know?
MARTINA
My point is, this is all eerily familiar and funny in more than a “ha ha” kind of way. We are in a PARODY SITUATION. I haven’t been this scared since I tried out for the WNBA.
Dawson reacts. Finally, confirmation of her sexuality.
BARBARA
Whatever. I’m not scared.
A black cat JUMPS OUT of nowhere STARTLING Barbara.
BARBARA
Aaahhhhh!!!!
SLAB
Oh, Cheap Shot! There you are.
He picks up the cat and pets it. We see the collar reading “Cheap Shot.”

Boner screams, clutches his heart and falls off the bed - a heart attack.
ANGLE ON
the EKG next to him. It is flat-lining. He's really dead.
Pissed, the Killer kicks the bed.

REVEAL it’s The Killer and he’s wielding a POWER DRILL.
Barbara screams. She hoists a bottle of beer to throw it at The Killer and then reconsiders.
She reaches into the fridge and grabs a ZEMA (PARODY OF ZIMA) instead. She throws that at him.
BARBARA
Stay back, asshole! (ALT. Stay back! Or, Stay back, creep!)
She starts EMPTYING THE FREEZER and throwing the contents at The Killer - FROZEN CHICKEN, ICE CREAM, AN ENTIRE COOKED TURKEY DINNER, A VIAL OF HUMAN SPERM, HUMAN BODY PARTS (HEAD IN ZIPLOCK BACK, ARM, FOOT, LEG).
He backs her into the corner. He thrusts the drill at her, she ducks under it and makes a break for the quarter open garage door.
Instead of going under the door, she decides to climb through the tiny cat door at the bottom. She gets as far as her breasts. They are too large to make it through the little hole. She is stuck and struggling.
The Killer heads for her and then stops. He’s got a better idea. After a moment of dramatic suspense when he looks at the automatic garage door opener on the ceiling, He hits what he thinks is the door open button.
SFX:
Doorbell.
The Killer hits the next button.
Suddenly the lights dim, a disco ball drops and "Boogie Nights" begins blaring.
Frustrated the Killer hits the button again. The lights go back on, the ball goes away and the music stops.
The Killer hits a third button and the door begins going up. Barbara screams. His plan is coming together.
Suddenly the door stops and starts back down. The Killer grabs the garage door remote and sends it back up again.
It stops again and heads down.

SLAB'S HOUSE - THE GARAGE - MEANWHILE - NIGHT
Barbara is getting nauseous from all the bouncing up and down when the door mechanism pops, fizzes and dies leaving the door stuck half way up.
The Killer tosses the remote in a furious rage, and turns to the garden tools behind him. There’s a Weed Whacker©, a Bush Whacker©, and a long leaf blower labeled Tally Whacker©. He grabs the WEED WHACKER, turns it on and heads toward her.
Barbara hears him coming, and in a split second attempt at saving her life she considers her stuck bosoms, reaches inside her bra and PULLS OUT two large GEL PACKS - falsies.
She drops them on the ground and with her smaller cup size slides right through the cat door.
The Killer bends over and inspects the gel packs. One has a GOLDFISH swimming in it. The other looks like a JELLO MOLD - green with fruit suspended inside. He DROPS them and runs after her, Weed Whacker blazing.
EXT.
SLAB’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS - NIGHT
As she runs across the front yard she falls in front of a row of hedges. The Killer catches up to her and is running parrellel to her on the other side. He makes a series of lunges, swings and jabs as they run, all of which she somehow dodges. Every time he misses her, he hits the bush between them. Leaves and branches fly. Finally, as Barbara makes a break for it...
REVEAL The Killer has unintentionally trimmed the hedges into a series beautiful TOPIARIES in the shape of a DANCING ANIMALS.
On the last lunge, the Killer accidentally knocks down a buzzing beehive. Angry bees escape.
Barbara trips again. The Killer approaches brandishing the Weed Whacker.
Barbara screams, knowing the end is near. Suddenly something else catches her attention.
SFX:
Buzzing of a bee.
She begins waving her hands around in the air, completely IGNORING The Killer. He is puzzled for a moment, then regroups himself. But Barbara screams before he even touches her. She’s been STUNG.
She CLUTCHES her own throat, which has already swollen shut. She gags, gasps and drops. Her eyes roll back in her head and for the first time we notice the “MED-ALERT” BRACELET on her wrist. The Killer reads it: “If stung by bee, please call funeral home.”

HAGITHA
Oh, excuse me.
DOUGHY
No. That sounds like trouble inside. Let’s roll.
They grab their stuff and make a break for the house. The Pizza guy doubles back and grabs his thong off the table.
All four pile in the security cart and put the red light on top. Nothing happens. They are too heavy.
DOUGHY
(cont’d)
(TO PIZZA GUY AND CAMERAMAN)
Uh, meet you over there.
Pizza Guy and Cameraman get out. Hagitha and Doughy drive off.
CUT TO:
INT.
SLAB’S HOUSE FOYER - NIGHT
Dawson and Martina stand over The Killer and a PILE OF MASKS that litter the floor - RAGGEDY ANDY, BARBIE, CURLY FROM THE THREE STOOGES, SADAAM HUSSEIN, HOWARD STERN - WHATEVER WE CAN GET AWAY WITH.
Dawson and Martina are getting a little bored pulling masks off The Killer. They give us the obligatory gasp and shocked look, only now they’re mixed with boredom and yawns. Martina checks her watch.
They wretch at the current mask: JANET RENO.
DAWSON
Okay, I think this is the last one.
He pulls off the mask, revealing the true identity of The Killer.
DAWSON/MARTINA
(HUGE GASP) You!
REVEAL TOM ARNOLD IN A HAND DRAWN GOATEE.
THE KILLER
You were expecting Billy Loomis’ mother?
MARTINA
Of course! Rule Number 101 - You can’t have a successful parody without mocking contrived, confusing, pat endings.
DAWSON
But why, Doughy?
THE KILLER
I’m not Doughy. (POINTS TO HIS “BEARD”)
MARTINA
That’s not even real.
THE KILLER
But it is dastardly.
MARTINA
So if you’re not Doughy, that would make you...
THE KILLER
Yes!
STINGER:
DRAMATIC MUSIC
THE KILLER
(cont’d)
I’m Harding, the evil twin cousin!
DAWSON
Wow. Good turn.
MARTINA
What was your motive?
THE KILLER
It’s the Millineum. Motives are accidental.
MARTINA
Do you mean “incidental”?
THE KILLER
I should have killed you first.
He STRUGGLES. They pin him tighter as Martina RUMMAGES through his pockets.
MARTINA
And I suppose this is what you used to disguise your voice.
Reacting to her wandering hands.
THE KILLER
(“THE KILLER” VOICE)
Helloooooooo, Sydney!
MARTINA
No, I mean this!
She reaches into one of The Killer’s pockets and pulls out an ancient, heavy iron ELECTRIC FAN. It is running. Dawson holds it up to his face and TALKS THROUGH IT.
DAWSON
(EXACTLY LIKE THE KILLER’S PHONE VOICE)
Hello, Martina. What’s your favorite movie? (THEN) I’m your father Luke.
Suddenly Doughy bursts through the front door (He doesn’t break it down.) followed by Hagitha, the cameraman and the pizzaman.
DOUGHY
Freeze!
The Killer stands and puts his hands behind his head.
HARDING
I give up. Don’t shoot.
Hagitha looks back and forth between the two Doughy’s.
DOUGHY
Harding!
HAGITHA
Doughy, what’s going on?
MARTINA
They’re identical.
DAWSON
One good. One evil.
HAGITHA
(IMPRESSED) Just like the Olsons.
DOUGHY
Yeah, except where Harding adores a minuet, the ballet russes and crepe suzette...
HARDING
Doughy loves to Rock and Roll, a hot dog makes him lose control.
HAGITHA
What a wild duet.
MARTINA
Still, they’re cousins...
DAWSON
...identical cousins...
MARTINA
...they laugh alike...
DAWSON
...they walk alike...
MARTINA
...at times they even talk alike...
HAGITHA
You could lose your mind...
HARDING
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! You think we never heard that one before? You dim-witted, smug, little...
DOUGHY
Harding! You are a disgrace and an embarassment to the family!
HARDING
Is this about grandma’s dress and the summer home?
DOUGHY
No...(PICKS UP KNIFE AND BRANDISHES PLAYFULLY)
HARDING
Oh, right. I’m sorry Doughy. How can I make it up to you?
DOUGHY
Well, for starters you can get that costume back to it’s rightful owners.
HARDING
But, I don’t have a reciept.
DOUGHY
I guess I can make some calls. But don’t forget that fake dogshit.
HARDING
I didn’t take any dogshit.
STINGER:
Suspicious music.
Doughy eyes the rest of the room with suspicion. Then he breaks into a forgiving.
DOUGHY
Allright, come here you knucklehead.
The cousins move to embrace.
BOOM! A GUNSHOT rings out and the Killer is FELLED by a bullet from across the room.
CAMERA MAN
Nice shot!
Reveal Hagitha is holding a huge chrome plated handgun. She is using it as a mirror to apply lipstick. She is oblivious to the fact that she just shot the Killer.
HAGITHA
Huh?
She accidentally fires again this time killing the cameraman.
HAGITHA
(cont’d)
Oops. You all saw that. That was an accident. (THEN, RE: LIPSTICK) I gotta get a new shade.
PIZZA GUY
Here, try mine.
He holds out a bright red lipstick.
HAGITHA
Ooh, perfect. See ya Doughy. I’ve got my scoop.
She exits with the Pizza Guy.
DOUGHY
What about dinner at the Pretzel Shack? Hickory Farms? (SIGH) Pizza guys get all the chicks.
CU of Doughy. A tear rolls down his cheek.
ANGLE back on everyone.
MARTINA
It’s okay Doughy, we’ve got everything under control.
DAWSON
Except for all those dead people.
DOUGHY
(Calling outside)
Alright, guys. Bag ‘em and tag ‘em. Let’s wrap this up. (THEN TO DAWSON and MARTINA) We’ll take it from here, kids.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT.
SLAB’S HOUSE - MINUTES LATER - NIGHT
Dawson, Martina and Doughy step out onto the porch as several uniformed police officers doing official looking investigating go inside.
DAWSON
Wow, Doughy. A twin cousin.
MARTINA
Yeah, the resemblance was remarkable.
DOUGHY
Yep. We both look like Tom Cruise. Ooh, donuts...
Doughy exits to Red Cross table.
On the front lawn, there is chaos as a few more cops, including two on bikes, survey the scene and do what cops do, while a variety of vehicles to be discussed with transportation dept. arrive throughout the scene. ( I.E.: cop cruisers and an ambulance with lights flashing, ICE CREAM TRUCK, a UPS TRUCK, a CRAFT SERVICE TRUCK, a ROTO ROOTER TRUCK, an OLD SCHOOL MILK TRUCK, a MASH AMBULANCE, a FIRE TRUCK, a DRAG RACER, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLY'S JALOPY, a CEMENT MIXER, a TRUCK FULL OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, an EXTERMINATOR TRUCK, THE PRIZE PATROL VAN, a BOOKMOBILE, THE OSCAR MEYER WEINERMOBILE, A BUDWEISER BEER TRUCK, A ROSE BOWL PARADE FLOAT, a NEW YORK CITY CAB, THE DUKE'S OF HAZARD GENERAL LEE, AND STARSKY AND HUTCH'S CAR. A meter maid is writing tickets for all of them throughout the scene.
A coroner wheels the Killer’s body (we can tell from his boots and black robe sticking out from under a blanket) out, followed by Boner, who is WHEELED BY on a gurney by an EMT. Somehow he has SURVIVED what we thought was a mortal blow. Dawson and Martina rush to him.
DAWSON
Boner! You’re alive.
BONER
God bless Viagra!
Reveal his huge tree trunk of an ERECTION under the sheets.
BONER
(CONT’D.)
It saved my life. I ate a whole bottle and when I had my heart attack, it kept the blood pumping anyway.
A sexy female doctor (THINK ANNA NICOLE SMITH) comes over.
DOCTOR
(LICKING HER LIPS)
I’ll take it from here.
She whips her glasses off and LETS HER HAIR DOWN as she wheels Boner off.
BONER
Yes!
Martina takes Dawson’s hand, holds it against her chest (not in a booby way) and looks into his eyes.
MARTINA
We were so lucky. Now we can be together forever...
Dawson puts both hands around her, revealing that wasn’t his hand she took.
DAWSON
Or at least until the sequel.
Dawson and Martina KISS.
BONER
(ON HIS EXIT, TO MARTINA)
Aren’t you gay?
Suddenly The Killer’s eyes FLY OPEN and his arm SHOOTS OUT.
STINGER:
Scary music
The arm flails and then GRABS A COFFEE from the Red Cross table.
DOUGHY, who has been watching, whips out his revolver and unloads it into The Killer’s chest. “Dead” again, extra cops strap him back down.
DOUGHY
Not on my watch, punk.
The Killer is wheeled toward a hearse in the background.
DOUGHY
Well, guess that about does it. The Killer’s caught, my heart’s broken and my sister’s dead. Better get home before my brother snags her room.
Doughy exits.
BACKGROUND:
The Killer pops up - he’s alive again. Two cops beat him with bats.
Dawson puts his arm around Martina and sighs as they look off into the distance.
MARTINA
Finally, we’re safe.
DAWSON
Hey, want to the shortcut through the dark woods?
Dawsons cell phone rings. He answers it.
DAWSON
(cont’d)
Yo!
KILLER
VO
Hello Sydney... (STATIC)
DAWSON
What? Sorry man I’m losing you.
He hangs up the phone.
MARTINA
Who was that?
DAWSON
I don’t know, but if it was important, they’ll call back.
He tucks his phone in his back pocket as they pass the Killer in a phone booth. He’s banging the reciever against the phone in frustration. He sees Dawson and Martina, readjusts his mask, raises his knife and makes a break for them.
Dramatic music swells and we...
SMASH CUT TO:
An on screen graphic reading “Epilogue” just like they used to in Barnaby Jones, with wrap up music a la seventies cops shows...
FADE UP ON:
BONER’S AMBULANCE.
He opens the window and sticks his head out a la Porky’s.
BONER
Hey, Dawson! Everybody! I did it! I’m not a virgin anymore.
