I/E. DARKNESS

It is nothingness. Not here, nor there. Nowhere. A dark purgatory of one soul, neither saved, nor damned (well, not anymore). All that is here is small, soft piano music. Dun, dun, dun, dun... The Nightmare on Elm Street theme. Then, the opening of eyes. Horrible red eyes with pitch black centers. It is followed by a voice. It is very deep and menacing and sounds like the devil himself.

		VOICE
What use is power if it has limits?

EXT. WOODS - DAY (CLIP: "FREDDY VS. JASON")

It is the dark and green woods. We see the back of a very tall man and a woman in front of him. She is older and has big curly blonde hair. She is wearing a red sweater and is looking at the man very sternly. She is PAMELA VOORHEES. She is talking but we cannot hear her.

 		VOICE (CONT'D)
I had lost all my power. So I used this moron to do it.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT (CLIP: "FREDDY VS. JASON")

A giant shadow with a hat and claws lunges at the camera.

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT (CLIP: "FREDDY VS. JASON")

A young red-headed boy flies against the wall.

		VOICE (CONT'D)
It worked great at first.

EXT. CORNFIELD - NIGHT (CLIP: "FREDDY VS. JASON")

A bunch of young people flee in terror. CLOSE UPS of people being slashed by a machete.

I/E. DARKNESS

		VOICE (CONT'D)
But as always, I was defeated. But no more.

I/E. VARIOUS (CLIPS: "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1, 2, 3, & 6")

A young brunette turning her back on a man and him disappearing, the same man being burnt, the man curling up in a ball, the man with a stick of dynamite in him blowing up.

		VOICE (CONT'D)
I'm tired of my quests of power always being beaten, tired of being defeated... tired of being weak.

EXT. DOCK - NIGHT (CLIP: "FREDDY VS. JASON")

An angry young blonde, bloodied and bruised, with four slashes on her chest, swings a machete at the camera.

CUT TO BLACK.

Then the music turns. It makes the same ominous cue it did in FvJ when Freddy said "But I found someone...".

		VOICE (CONT'D)
But there something I found. Something that will take me beyond the limitations that will make me more powerful then ever. Necronomicon Ex Mortis. Roughly translated, "The Sumerian Book of the Dead".

INT. PORTAL (CLIP: “EVIL DEAD II”)

A weird portal. Colors going 'round and 'round as various horrible images fly by of demons and monsters.

		VOICE (CONT'D)
Written long ago by "The Dark Ones", who even the Dream Demons fear.

EXT. SEA OF RED BLOOD - RED SKY (CLIP: “EVIL DEAD II”)

Above a sea, we see a book fly up. It is very scary looking. It is made of leather-esque human skin and the pages fly open and red words and images start to appear.

		VOICE (CONT'D)
Inked with blood and bound in human flesh, the book is filled with funerary incantations, demonic resurrection passages, words that can open doorways to evil worlds... In 1300 A.D. the book vanished.

The book then shuts and flies away.

CUT TO BLACK.

We now see a set of teeth. They are old, sharp, and broken with blood stains on them. Whenever they speak cold breath comes out.

		VOICE (CONT'D)
I've been pulled into the real world before. The door swings both ways. If I can get my hands on the book in reality, I can pull it into the dream world. And just like I keep my powers when I got to their world, it should keep it's. Out of pure luck perhaps, the book is now at a very interesting location. After being found and taken to an cabin in the early 80s, this scumbag TV guy finds it and puts it in the childhood home of a certain old friend of mine.

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT

It is the dark and cold woods of Crystal Lake. The bright moon shines over this ominous location.

FADE TO.

EXT. HOUSE - NIGHT

What once a nice, large house, the place is falling apart after years of being empty. The woods has moved in on it, walls have crumbled, ivy covers it. We look over the house's crumbling facade, but our interest soon turns to the woods surrounding it. We then CHARGE through the woods with a POV shot--

INT. WOODS - CONT'D

We charge through trees as if the camera is an actual person or... force. A FORCE POV. We are hearing dark laughter and a man's screams as we go. The echoing sounds of a nightmare.

Eventually we come across something else in the woods - a blue tent, a campfire smoldering in front of it. We charge straight into the tent, cutting inside once we reach it.

INT. BLUE TINT

In it, there are two people, a man and a woman, both about 20, sleep in a sleeping bag. The young blonde woman, JENNIFER, sleeps like a baby, but her boyfriend, ERIC does not. He twitches repeatedly like if there's something wrong with him.

CLOSE ON: His eye. It opens widely along with a violin stab in the music.

He sits up and he smiles. There's something "off" about him. He looks down at his girlfriend, gives a slight, yet dark chuckle, then gets up, and unzips the tent's door and leaves.

His girlfriend then gets up, groggily. With eyes half open, looks down at the empty spot beside her.

		JENNIFER
	(muttering)
Eric...

She then rubs her eyes and looks at the open tent.

		JENNIFER
	(clearer)
Eric?

She sighs and gives it a second. The woods start to make weird noises. Branches crackling, the wind howling, almost as if they're TRYING to scare her. She grabs a robe next to her, gets up, puts it on, and then leaves the tent.

EXT. TENT/INT. WOODS - CONT'D - NIGHT

She gets out and looks in the distance and sees Eric walking with extreme determination.

		JENNIFER
ERIC!

The woods then start to freak her out more and more. They're taunting her. She runs toward Eric, but loses him, both engulfed by the darkness between the evil trees. Almost crying, she runs through them like a fox until finally she gets out of them and sees Eric--

EXT. WOODS/HOUSE - CONT'D

--who is walking toward the back of the houuse. There is a small hole in the back of the house caused by old years and eventually just falling apart. Eric goes into it.

		JENNIFER
ERIC!?

She runs toward the house and also goes into the back.

CLOSE ON: The mailbox. "VOORHEES"

INT. HOUSE - HALLWAY

Jennifer wanders the dirty, ivy-choked halls, afraid and confused. She then sees nothing but darkness in front of her bumping her into - Eric.

She takes a big sigh with relief and smiles.

		JENNIFER
Eric. Thank god, it's you. I thought I lost you... what's going on, Eric? I wanna leave.

He looks at her with very mean and cold eyes.

		ERIC
Fuck off.

The voice is very stern and sounds very much like... the voice at the film's beginning.

Jennifer pulls back from Eric, shocked and scared. Jennifer backs away as Eric goes forward in the hallway. She then turns from fear to anger. She then storms off.

But, in the adjacent hallway. The FIGURE watches Jennifer go by.

CLOSE ON: The Figure's right hand. There is an old and brown glove. On it, four, equally long sharp razor blades. They glisten in the darkness.

INT. ANOTHER HALLWAY - CONT'D

Jennifer goes for the hole she entered in and walks forward, almost stomping her feet when she runs into someone. He is very huge and has bulging arms. He is wearing a giant brown torn jacket with a black old t-shirt under it. He is wearing slick black gloves, raggedy black pants, and work boots. His skin is green and destroyed with rotting flesh and brains and other liquids oozing out of its pores. On his face is a hockey mask. It is worn out with stains on it. There are many scratches and stab marks including a big one in the upper left corner from an ax. There are two big eyeholes in the middle. Both have darkness like that of Hell. But in one there is an eye. It is menacing and has a stare like that of pure madness. Crystal Lake's Eternal Curse. JASON VOORHEES.

He raises his razor-gloved right hand as she starts to cry and backs up against the wall.

		JENNIFER
No, no, no, no...

He lunges his claws forward--

VERY QUICKLY CUT TO.

INT. ANOTHER ROOM - CONT'D

CLOSE ON: The wall. The claws, with pieces of brain on them bust through it.

We ZOOM OUT and see Eric passing through it. Eric gives the sight an irritated glance as the claws and fingers are pulled back out of the wall and moves on slightly faster, determined to do something before Jason can catch up with him.

He goes to the back of the room and opens an old door entering--

INT. ANOTHER ROOM - CONT'D

Eric smiles as he looks what's in the room. Inside the dark and damped room are two big holes in the floor as well as smashed window, all caused by Jason's damage in Jason Goes To Hell. But Eric doesn't even notice them. He looks at the table.

THE NECRONOMICON. It looks a little older and more crusted than it did in the opening montage but it is still the same evil device. Eric approaches it.

Footsteps. Eric turns around and sees someone in front of him.

JASON

The second he does Jason swings his machete and decapitates Eric. The body like a deflated balloon falls into one of the holes and onto the floor of the cellar. His head bounces along the large table, sending blood flying around the room from its severed end. Drops of blood splash across the cover of the Necronomicon and are quickly absorbed. 

CLOSE ON: The Book.

CUT TO BLACK.

CUT TO.

I/E. VARIOUS (CLIPS: "THE EVIL DEAD")

Various images fly by. Distorted, not too clear... but all familiar. A cabin, the Necronomicon, a tape recorder, a group of young kids, those same young kids with horrible, ripped apart skin, etc. All very similar. Demons, blood, fire, chaos.

		SCOTT (V.O.)
I don't care what happens to her. She's your girlfriend, you take care of her.

		ASH (V.O.)
We can't bury Shelly, she's a friend of ours.

		SCOTT (V.O.)
Don't you see Ash! They're alive!

Among all the images, we get a quick glimpse of Jason Voorhees. We then have shots of all the demon-kids laughing, but in-between them is a shot of a burnt man laughing, very quickly. The last is a dolled up demon, singing.

		DEADITE LINDA
We're gonna get you, we're gonna get you, not another peep, time to go to sleep...

CUT TO.

INT. HOTEL ROOM - MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

We cut to a dark and damped hotel room where a man shoots up from his nightmare, sweaty and screaming. He is middle-aged and has dark black hair, but a grey streak. He has a very 30s/40s "hero" face complete with the big chin. He pants and looks around. On his right hand is a very weird looking glove type object. It is metal and old and is his replacement hand.

		ASH
Damn demons...

He gets out of bed, in only his boxers, and goes across the room to the window. He looks out at the hotel parking lot and the sign by the road next to it.

CLOSE ON: The sign. "WELCOME TO CRYSTAL LAKE"

DISSOLVE TO.

The same sign, but it is now day.

EXT. ROAD - DAY

A car zooms past the sign.

INT. CAR

We see a young man, TIM driving. Next to him, is his sweet girlfriend, AMY, asleep, head resting on his shoulders. She is twitching and squirming as if having a bad dream. Tim is looking rather timid (no pun intended) and a little mad.

		TIM
Did Owen say take Interstate 25?

		AMY
	(half-asleep)
I think so...

		TIM
Goddammit. Don't even know where we're going. Let's stop somewhere and get directions.

EXT. EDGE OF TOWN - DAY

The car goes into town and stops at the first place. An old bar, probably 50 years old, called "WOODS' TAVERN".

The car stops in front of it and Tim gets out. He goes to the other side and opens the door for the semi-awake Amy. They go into it.

INT. WOODS' TAVERN - CONT'D

It is a typical bar. People playing pool, some watching football on TV, most drinking. They go up to the bar.

		TIM
Um, hello, bartender?

Like in typical movie fashion, the bartender is wiping clean a glass. He smiles at the kids and goes to them.

		BARTENDER
'llo.

		TIM
Um, do you know where this old cabin is? Its two stories and in the middle of the woods.

		BARTENDER
Yeah, sure. Couple of kids were asking about that today too. Just go straight for about a mile, then take a right, and go forward 'til you reach a dirt road, follow it, it'll take ya into the woods, you'll have a choice to go either left of right at one point, go right, then guess where you're at?

		TIM
Thanks-

		OLD MAN (O.S.)
You're doomed...

Behind them is a crazy old drunk. He is about 50 and has aged very badly because of his alcohol problem. He looks creepy and paranoid.

		OLD MAN HOPPER
You're going to the woods, ain't cha? Don't. There's an evil in those woods. An evil-

We then turn our attention to two cops watching the game.

		SHERIFF MILLER
The attack on Lake Crystal Resorts was sabotage just like when the water went bad and the fires that started. Though I personally believe it's that Jarvis guy who's been going around with that petition-

		OLD MAN HOPPER
No! It was Jason! Pure Chaos! Come back to-

		BARTENDER
Oh shut up, Hopper.
	(to the kids)
Sorry, Hopper here likes to tell his fairy tells.

TIM
Well, anyways, thanks for the information.

		BARTENDER
No problem.

They then leave, very quickly.

		ASH (O.S.)
That bullshit is nothing!

Behind Hopper is Ash, drunk and sitting in a chair, waving his beer.

		ASH
I've seen stuff you couldn't have even dreamt up.

		OLD MAN HOPPER
Bah! This town has seen more chaos and destruction than you could imagine.

		ASH
Whatever, I've been to Hell and back!... and back again... and...
	(almost crying)
...again...

		OLD MAN HOPPER
Jason Voorhees has never died! He got killed then his body rose from his grave!

		ASH
So? My girlfriend's decapitated head tried to give me oral!

		OLD MAN HOPPER
Lies!

		ASH
You're full of lies!

INT. WOODS - DAY

Tim and Amy's car is driving down a dirt road through the woods.

INT. CAR

Amy warily looks at the woods outside her window.

		AMY
What do you think of what that old guy was saying?

		TIM
Amy, they're just some old drunk's attempt to scare people.

INT. WOODS

The road they're driving has two ways it could turn. Tim and Amy choose one and go down it but at the end of the other, like a speck we can see the Voorhees House.

The car starts to exit out of the woods and we see a nice looking two-
story log cabin in the woods, the lake visible in the distance through the trees and down a hill.

The car parks by a few other cars on the little stretch of dirt. They approach the house.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

On the porch is SAM, sitting in a porch swing and swinging hard enough
that the swing keeps slamming into the side of the cabin. Sam's lit on weed and buzzed on alcohol at the moment. He's not your stereotypical movie stoner, though. He's a smart guy, but damn it, he came to party.

As Tim and Amy approach him, the door swings open and we see OWEN come out and look at Sam.

		OWEN
Goddammit, Sam! Keep doing that and you'll break the wall! And guess who'll have to pay for it? 
	(noticing Tim and Amy)
Sorry 'bout that. Come on in.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Inside the room are many other people. Sitting on the couch, bored as hell is Owen's girlfriend, MICHELLE. By the empty fireplace is her sister, LIZZIE, sitting on the floor and reading a book. Sitting in a chair is EVAN, laughing. Sitting on his lap is the beautiful BRANDY licking his ear.

Owen sits down next to Michelle. Tim and Amy sit next to them.

		OWEN
So you guys like it?

		TIM
Yeah, sure.

		OWEN
Great.

		AMY
I like it, but I think I'll stay inside most of the time. I'm scared of... snakes and stuff.

INT. WOODS

In the deep woods, Jason Voorhees walks with deep determination.

EXT. CABIN - DUSK

Establishing shot.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

 CLOSE ON: The fireplace. It's empty and cold.

On the couch, Michelle shivers and snuggles close to Owen.

		MICHELLE
I'm cold. Go outside and get some wood for a fireplace.

		OWEN
How do you expect me to do that? There's no axe, chainsaw, nothing.

		MICHELLE
You haven't checked the cellar.

		OWEN
Goddammit.

CUT TO.

INT. DARK ROOM

It is a very dark room. All we can see is a flight of stairs. Above the stairs, a door flies open. Tim, Evan, and Owen come out of the other room and go down the stairs. They go through the room and look around at the many different strange and unusual things, like a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake poster ripped in half. They finally get to a table full of tools.

A hammer, nails, a nail gun, ah! An axe. Owen picks it up and they go up the stairs.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Owen and Evan are outside, chopping on an old tree. Owen is chopping it and giving the pieces to Evan who takes it inside. Owen then sighs finally done and puts the axe on the tree stem. They go inside and we hear a very strange sound.

"ki ki ki ma ma ma"

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

By the fireplace, everyone sits in a circle, all enjoying the fire's warmth.

Amy starts to act weird. She leans forward and her eye-lids start to go back and forth as if she's about to go to sleep. She then opens them widely.

CUT TO.

I/E. VARIOUS

Demons, blood, fire, chaos, the same stuff from Ash's dream, but new footage. This all of her friends. The same twisted laughter from earlier. The voice that narrated. She looks shocked as she sees a man, in shadows, wearing the glove, but not Jason, standing on a pile of her friends.

		BRANDY (V.O.)
Me and Evan are going upstairs and I'm gonna fuck the living shit out of him.

CUT TO.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Back to the circle, Amy snaps out of it. She rubs her eyes. Brandy and Evan both chuckle and go upstairs hand in hand.

INT. WOODS - BY PAVED ROAD - NIGHT

Ash, pissed off, is standing under the hood of his car, a 1970 Delta 88 Oldsmobile, which is pulled over. He looks around, as if he's a car expert, when actually he don't know jack shit, 'cept how to make it into a Death Machine.

		ASH
Damn you, you crappy car. Don't know why that Spider-Man dude puts ya in all his movies.

Ash kicks the car then looks like a light bulb just went above his hand.

		ASH
Wait, didn't that bartender say something about that old cabin? Yea! I can go to them.

Ash walks in that direction.

INT. CABIN - BEDROOM - NIGHT

In this room, there is loving making going on. Brandy, naked, is bent over the side of the bed, sweating and screaming, as Evan stands behind her and anal fucks her.

INT. CABIN - BEDROOM NEXT TO IT

Lizzie lies on the bed, pissed off by them and trying to go to sleep.

INT. CLUB - DARK - RUNWAY (CLIP: "THE ADVENTURES OF PRICILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT")

We see a CLOSE-UP of Hugo Weaving's face. He is wearing a blonde wig and is lip-synching "I've Never Been to Me" as titles go by him. "TERRNACE STAMP, HUGO WEAVING, GUY PEARCE, AND BILL HUNTER".

		HUGO WEAVING
	(lip-synching)
Hey lady, you, lady, cursing at your life, you're a discontented mother and regimented wife, I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do, but I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you...

INT. CABIN - DEN

Owen and Michelle snuggle close as they watch Pricilla.

INT. CABIN - KITCHEN

Sam sits at the table, rolling a joint.

INT. CABIN - BEDROOM

Tim and Amy sit on the edge of the bed, just talking.

		AMY
Tim, this place feels... weird...

		TIM
Amy, it's just those crazy stories back at the bar.

		AMY
No, I felt this way as soon as I came here.

		TIM
Just settle down.

He leans forward and kisses her.

INT. CABIN - KITCHEN

Sam sits at the table, smoking his doobie. Owen then comes in the room.

		SAM
Hey, Owen. Wanna blast a roach?

		OWEN
Later. Me and Michelle are gonna go upstairs and make like Evan and Brandy. If you want, the den's couch folds out into a bed.

		SAM
Nah, I'll just sleep on the couch. I wanna be as light of a sleeper as possible. Don't like the concept of wasting 1/3 of your life sleeping.

		OWEN
	(looking at his joint)
Meanwhile, you'll destroy your lungs with all that shit.

Owen shakes his head and goes upstairs.

INT. CABIN - EVAN/BRANDY'S BEDROOOM

Both of them are lying above the covers, naked, sweating. Evan gets up and puts a towel around himself.

		EVAN
I'll be right back. DO NOT get dressed.

Evan leaves the room.

INT. CABIN - AMY/TIM'S BEDROOM

Tim and Amy are making out pretty heavy. She then stops them.

		AMY
This is as far as we're gonna take it?

		TIM
Right.

They continue to make out. Amy opens her eyes and sees Tim's face is bloodied and one eye is dangling like a piece of toilet paper.

The door opens! It's Owen and Michelle.

		MICHELLE
Ooh, sorry, this is, uh, supposed to be out room. But if-

		AMY
Nah, it's all-right. We'll leave.

Amy and Tim get up and leave.

INT. CABIN - DEN

Sam is on the couch watching Pricilla. He looks pretty tired.

		GUY PEARCE (O.T.T.)
Um, do you have The Texas Chainsaw Mascara?

Sam goes for his joint, he puts it to his lips, only to discover AN ACTUAL ROACH. He throws it down, shocked. He looks on the floor. It's a joint again. He rubs his eyes and gets up.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Sam gets out of the cabin for some air.

INT. WOODS - NIGHT

Ash is walking down the dirt road. He gets to the fork. Left or right? He gives it a moment of guess then goes left... to the Voorhees house.

INT. CABIN - KITCHEN

Evan is getting about 10 beers, literally, for the night, laughing.

INT. CABIN - EVAN/BRANDY'S BEDROOM

Brandy is laying in bed, waiting for him to come back. The door swings open with a loud squeal and we hear heavy footsteps crossing the room, but the room is too dark to see who's entered. When whoever it is doesn't reply to Brandy when she talks to them, she sits up, squinting into the darkness to see if she can make them out. Could it be Jason? No, because at that moment someone else, who we cannot see (though we can tell he is wearing the glove) lunges up from under the bed and pulls the screaming, struggling Brandy under it with him.

EXT. VOORHEES HOUSE - NIGHT

Ash has reached the house.

		ASH
Not gonna get jack shit here.

He takes a few steps, then stops. Looks back at the house. Something feels strange about this place. He's not even sure why himself, but Ash walks back toward the Voorhees house.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Sam is sitting on the porch swing, smoking a joint and enjoying the peace of the woods. But he's not alone. The camera stalks through the bushes that surround the porch, looking through them to see Sam, apparently in someone's P.O.V...

INT. VOORHEES HOUSE - HALLWAY

Ash walks down the hallway. He opens a closet door and a backwards ironing board out. He ignores it and goes toward two doors.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

On the cabin porch, Sam takes a drag off his joint and starts choking as the P.O.V. walks toward him. Someone steps up behind Sam, putting their hands on his shoulders. Sam looks up and sees that it's just Owen.

		OWEN
Michelle wasn't in the mood, so... I changed my mind.

He shows him a VERY large joint. They both smile.

INT. CABIN - EVAN/BRANDY'S BEDROOM

Evan then enters the room with his many beers. He puts them on the table then looks up. No Brandy.

		EVAN
Brandy?

INT. VOORHEES HOUSE - ROOM

Ash enters the same room. He notices Eric's head.

		ASH
Oh god-.

The Necronomicon. Ash is shocked. He can barely believe this. His worst
nightmares are becoming reality, the book is back in his life.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Sam and Owen swing on the porch back and forth. They are passing the joint. Sam takes a HUGE hit then couches loudly.

		OWEN
	(laughing)
I told you this would destroy your lungs.

INT. CABIN - TIM/AMY'S BEDROOM

Evan comes into their room.

		EVAN
Hey, guys, have you seen Brandy?

		TIM
No.

INT. CABIN - HALLWAY - CONT'D

Evan goes back into the hallway and sees Owen.

		EVAN
Hey, have you seen Brandy? I can't find her.

		OWEN
No. Sorry.

		EVAN
Eh, she probably just went outside to her car or something. I'll just go back to my room.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Sam continues to cough and choke as Owen pats him on the back. Wait. Owen? But wasn't he just in the hallway?

Owen leans forward revealing himself. He is wearing a dirty old red and green sweater and an old fedora. His face is horribly burnt and looks like melted mesh. He is wearing dirty brown pants and big black work boots. He waves his hand, on it "the claw". This is FREDDY KRUEGER, THE BASTARD SON OF 100 MANIACS. This the man from the montage and who was narrating.

Sam is shocked but can't stop coughing. As Freddy laughs, he coughs up blood and roaches.

		FREDDY
Looks like you've blasted too many roaches, Sam.

As he fights to catch his breath, one of the chains of the swing snap off and yank Sam up, hanging him. He turns blue and starts still tries to breath. Freddy laughs as he hangs there dying.

INT. VOORHEES HOUSE - ROOM

Ash picks the Necronomicon up, almost in a state of shock. This can't be happening, he must be dreaming again... Ash snaps out of it when he hears the sound of footsteps. Ash turns around to see-

JASON

...swinging his machete. Ash quickly moves out of the way and the machete splits the table the Necronomicon was on in half. Ash hits Jason across the side of the head with the Necronomicon, Jason backhands him and sends him flying out of the house, through the busted window.

EXT. VOORHEES HOUSE - NIGHT - CONT'D

Ash lands on the grass, groaning. He climbs to his feet as Jason steps out of the house through the window. Ash turns and starts running through the woods, clutching the Necronomicon. 

INT. CABIN - EVAN/BRANDY'S BEDROOM

Evan is about to climb back into bed when he notices that there are four
slashes across the bed, from about the middle to the end. The sheet and mattress have both been slashed through, stuffing sticking up out of the mattress. But that isn't all. Evan gets a weird feeling and looks down to see that he's stepped in a puddle of blood, which seems to originate from under the bed. Evan looks under the bed - and finds Brandy's lifeless body staring back at him, covered with bloody slashes. Evan freaks out.

		EVAN
GUYS!

INT. WOODS

Ash is running through them, Jason not too far behind. He spots the cabin.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Everybody is in the main room, freaking out. Evan has waked them all and alerted them of Brandy.

		LIZZIE
Oh god, does this place have a phone? We need to call the cops!

		OWEN
Uh, yeah by the TV in the den.

Lizzie then runs off-screen to the den.

		MICHELLE
Oh god, please, Owen, I just wanna go home...

		AMY
No, we should wait for the cops.

		OWEN
No, we-

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

The thumping noise Sam was making earlier.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Ash has reached the cabin porch and is running around a corner, headed for the front door, when he finds the source of the thumping - Sam's body, hanging from the swing chain, swinging into the side of the cabin. Ash runs right into Sam's body, grabbing it and swinging around it as Jason rounds the corner. Jason spots Ash and swings his machete at him again. This time the machete cleaves Sam's body in half, sending Ash and Sam's lower half falling to the porch floor, blood spraying all over Ash. Ash scrambles to his feet and runs for the front door.

He then runs to the door and swings it open, revealing Evan.

		EVAN
	(thinking Ash is the killer)
YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED BRANDY!

Then he punches him in the face repeatedly, dazing him out. Evan and Owen then grab him and drag him inside. Tim looks out and sees Sam's body on the porch, shuts the door. Jason is nowhere in sight.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Ash drops the Necronomicon as Owen and Evan drag him along.

		ASH
	(groggily)
Hey... what's... I'm not... what are you...

		TIM
Wait. Isn't this the guy from the tavern? He probably heard we were heading here and followed us.

		AMY
Maybe that old guy is involved too...

		OWEN
What should we do with this sumbitch?

		LIZZIE
Throw him in the cellar.

		ASH
	(groggily)
Wait... didn't this already...

		EVAN
SHUT UP!

Evan and Owen then roll him to the cellar door, open it, and throw him down onto the cement floor.

Amy warily looks at the Necronomicon laying on the floor.

		TIM
The bastard killed Sam too.

		OWEN
Goddamit.

EXT. CABIN

A black-gloved hand pull the axe out of the stump Owen left it stuck in.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR

Ash, very weakly, gets up.

		ASH
	(to self)
First I gotta have the fucking car break down. So I find a house... WITH THE GODDAMN BOOK IN IT. Then some steroid pumping hockey fan starts to go all psycho on my ass. Now it's the goddamn cabin all over again. But no goddamn bitch-wife is coming out of the floor again...

He finds a light and turns it on, then starts looking around for a weapon. He knows Jason will probably be busting into the cabin...

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

In the main room, Evan, with a shovel, and Owen, with a baseball bat, are looking out windows for a "second killer".

INT. CABIN - DEN

The rest of them are also armed. Tim has the fireplace poker, Lizzie has a log, and Amy and Michelle have kitchen knives.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR

Ash has found the tool table, but none of the tools are really any more useful against Jason than they were good to cut wood with. Then Ash notices a sheet hanging from the bottom of the table, which blocks the view of what's under the table. Ash kneels down, pulls the sheet aside and looks at what's under the table. We don't see it, but he tells us what it is. 

		ASH

Chainsaw.

INT. CABIN - ROOM

Owen, bat firmly in hand, slowly goes through one room. He quietly looks out the window- WHEN JASON BUSTS THROUGH IT, AXE IN HAND! Owen turns to him, swinging the baseball bat into Jason's mask. The sound is similar to that of a bat hitting a baseball, but it doesn't have much effect on Jason. Jason rips the bat out of Owen's hands and returns the favor, cracking him on the top of the head with it. Owen's skull is fractured and blood pours down his face as he drops to the floor.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR

Ash hears crashes and screams coming from upstairs, so he runs for the stairs. We don't see the chainsaw that he's carrying.

INT. CABIN - DEN

Jason is busting through the shut and locked den door with the axe while the group screams, their "safe room" now a death trap.

INT. CABIN - BACK

Evan hears all this and sees Jason. Scared to death, he runs the other away and out of the cabin.

REV! REV! REV!

Ash is at the top of the cellar stairs, sawing into the door. The tip of the chainsaw rips through the door as down the hall Jason continues busting into the den. He doesn't pay attention to the cellar door, he wants those kids. Ash gets the door knob of the cellar door sawed out just as Jason bursts through the den door.

INT. CABIN - DEN - CONT'D

Lizzie gets too close and Jason swings the axe, hitting her in the base of the neck and knocking her out of frame. Tim hits him with the fireplace poker, Jason grabs him and tosses him across the room. Then Ash yells at him from behind-

		ASH (O.S.)
Yo' maggothead!

Jason turns around to see Ash standing a few yards away, running chainsaw held out of frame.

		ASH
Let's go.

Ash raises the chainsaw into frame... And this really isn't the kind of chainsaw you want to have when you go up against Jason. It's barely over two feet long from end to end. This moment would be like premature ejaculation to most, but Ash can work with it.

Jason goes to Ash and swings the axe. Ash blocks it with his saw and they press against each other a few times. Jason swings it at Ash's head, but Ash ducks down and puts it in Jason's leg. Jason steps back a few steps.

		ASH
Come on! You call this a fight you overgrown pussy?

Mad, Jason swings the axe underhanded slicing Ash's chest and sending him back. Ash then runs to him and slices the axe handle in half. Ash picks up one piece and hits Jason on the head with it. Jason then grabs Ash by the skull, one-handed and picks him up.

In the distance, Amy and Michelle watch.

		AMY
Who are these men?

		MICHELLE
I don't know.

Ash then slaps Jason with the chainsaw, making Jason drop him. Ash runs to the other side of the room to the book shelf. As Jason goes over to him, Ash pushes it down on him, knocking him down for a few seconds. As he gets up Ash kicks him in the head.

Jason gets up for real. He looks around for Ash. As he wonders, Ash swings behind Jason and jams the chainsaw into his back, sawing into him, blood and rotten flesh flying everywhere.

Jason falls down next to the remnants of the axe.

Ash, Michelle, and Amy all stare at the body.

		MICHELLE
He's dead.

		ASH
No. It's a trick. Grab the axe.

He looks at them. They just stand there. After a few seconds, Ash sighs, very annoyed, and reaches down to get the axe pieces. When he does, Jason grabs his arm. Ash is lifted into the air as Jason gets to his feet, then Jason slams Ash backwards through a window.

EXT. CABIN - NIGHT

Ash bursts through the window and hits the stump the axe was stuck in earlier hard. He's nearly knocked out and in a lot of pain.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Jason turns back to Amy and Michelle and they run for the back door. Tim is still out of it from being thrown across the room earlier, so Amy has to pull him to his feet and almost drag him along. Michelle helps her, but Tim really slows them down. They reach the back door, Michelle pulls it open and steps outside... then Jason grabs Tim from behind, knocking Amy outside as well. Jason grabs Tim by the sides of the head and begins to squeeze, lifting him up off the floor. Tim has some struggle in him, but while struggling manages to kick the door shut just as Amy is about to run back in to try to help him.

EXT. CABIN - BACK

Amy tries to open the door, but Jason steps closer to it so that it can't be opened. Amy watches helplessly through the window in the door as her boyfriend’s head is crushed in Jason's hands. A wave of blood and an eyeball hit the window as Tim's skull collapses. Amy starts to cry, and Michelle puts her hands around her.

		MICHELLE
Come on, we have to go!

EXT. CABIN - IN BETWEEN THE CARS

Hiding between the cars is Evan, scrambling and searching his pockets.

		EVAN
Keys, keys, keys...

EXT. CABIN - IN FRONT OF IT

As they run out, Michelle and Amy see big bright lights. Police cars.

EXT. CABIN - SOMETIME LATER

Police cruisers and ambulances are parked around the front of the cabin.

Evan, Michelle, and Amy are talking to one officer.

		AMY
...and then in comes this blood guy screaming and-

		OFFICER
Listen? Um, how about you come to the station to tell us the full story okay?

		MICHELLE
Okay.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

There are a bunch of cops searching everything and doing police work.

One COP finds something on the ground. The Necronomicon. He goes over to Sheriff Miller and shows him the book.

		COP
Hey, Miller, look at this. Some freaky ass book.

Miller takes it and looks through it.

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT

From the woods, Jason watches Miller take the book. Realizing that the book was his, Jason follows him.

PARAMEDICS are wheeling Ash on a gurney toward an ambulance when Ash, who keeps swinging in and out of consciousness, also spots Miller carrying the Necronomicon.

		ASH
Hey, don't take... the book... evil...

		PARAMEDIC
Hey, shhhhh... just rest.

Ash sees three little girls in the distance. All dressed in pretty white dresses and pigtails they jump rope and sing.

		LITTLE GIRLS
One, two, Freddy's coming for you...

		ASH
Hey, should those kids be out there?

		PARAMEDIC
What kids?

They have disappeared. They take Ash--

INT. AMBULENCE

Ash starts to fall asleep.

		DEADITE LINDA (V.O.)
We're gonna get you. we're gonna get you, not another peep, time to go to sleep...

FADE TO BLACK.

CUT TO.

EXT. SOMEWHERE BY WOODS - DAY

Ash wakes up screaming, laying on grass. Ash gets up, but the second he does he knows where he is. And he does not like it.

In front of him "THE CABIN". The old one-story wood cabin from the first two Evil Deads. Very subtly, there are a set of eyes in front of it. Evil, demonic eyes. We hear a very horrible sound. The wind creaking, "wow wow wow...". Then there's the voice. A terrible deep voice from nowhere chanting the same two words.

		ASH
No, no, no, no...

		FORCE
Join us...

		ASH
NO!

Ash quickly runs to the cabin, goes inside and slams the door. But when he does, we see the door is now red and has a window with bars on it. 

ZOOM OUT: The cabin is now 1428 Elm. The Nightmare theme plays in the background.

INT. EVIL DEAD CABIN - MAIN ROOM

The inside of the cabin hasn't changed, though. It's the same as Ash left it at the end of Evil Dead II, including dry blood of various colors all over the place and the body of ANNIE KNOWBY, now a skeleton, laying on the floor. Ash is looking around the familiar surroundings, waiting to see what could possibly happen next. He looks out a window, the woods look completely calm and normal now.

Ash is looking over at that, taking note of the axe leaning against the wall beside the fireplace.

		DEADITE LINDA (O.S.)
We're gonna get you, we're gonna get you...

Ash turns around to see a blonde woman in a white nightgown sitting in the hallway, her back turned to him. Ash cautiously approaches the woman.

		ASH
Linda?

When Ash gets close, the woman gets to her feet and turns to him. Linda's face is a rotting corpse with crackling skin and bugs coming out of the empty eye holes. Ash freaks out and backs away.

		LINDA
Where have you been, Ash? It's been so long. I've been so lonely here, all by myself. Just me... and the evil.

She then starts to cackle widely like Cheryl did and she charges at Ash. Ash tries to quickly run away but trips. He looks down to see why he tripped - Annie's skeleton grabbed his legs with one hand and is holding on to a strange dagger in the other hand. The skeleton skitters up Ash's body, bringing the dagger down toward his heart. He catches the dagger hand by the wrist and punches the skeleton in the face, knocking its skull off. The skull rolls into a corner and begins to laugh. Ash tosses the skeleton aside and looks into the hallway to see how long he has before Linda will be attacking him... She's nowhere in sight.

Ash scrambles to his feet, going to the fireplace and grabbing the axe. He turns his back to the fireplace, and when he does the fireplace widens like a mouth opening until it's about six feet tall. Then Freddy steps out of the flame, chuckling. Ash doesn't notice any of this, so Freddy reaches out and taps him on a shoulder with his claws. Ash jumps, turning around and blindly swinging his axe. The axe catches Freddy in the wrist, severing his glove hand. Freddy laughs as green blood spurts from his wrist, all over Ash's face. Ash is knocked backwards by an invisible force, flying across the room and landing in front of the cellar door. Freddy  flicks his right arm out to the side and a new glove hand, dripping green blood, appears out of  nowhere. The severed glove hand is still on the floor, though, and it springs to life, skittering across the floor on its claws. Ash sees this and sits up, crawling backwards across the floor. As the glove hand gets closer, the cellar door suddenly flies open and Linda lunges out of the cellar, grabbing Ash and pulling him in. She drags him down the cellar steps, laughing as he struggles.

INT. AMBULENCE

A paramedic watches Ash thrash and kick on the gurney in the back of the ambulance.

		PARAMEDIC
This guy's having some kind of seizure!

INT. BOILER ROOM - RED AND STEAMY

He looks around and sees no sign of Linda or the cabin, just machinery, fire, pipes and chains. Ash climbs to his feet, using a dangling chain to pull himself up. He starts to walk away, but the chain won't let him. It's wrapped itself around his wrist and is holding him tight. A pipe breaks away from the wall and lashes out at Ash, wrapping around his waist. Ash struggles to get free, but it's no use. Then there's the screeching sound of metal-on-metal and Ash looks up to see Freddy walking toward him, running his claws down the side of a boiler.

		ASH
Who the hell are you?

		FREDDY
Someone who wants something you have experience with.

		ASH
Looks like it's a little too late for sun screen, buddy.

		FREDDY
The Necronomicon.

Beat.

		ASH
I don't know what you're talking about.

		FREDDY
I'll refresh your memory.

CUT TO.

Ten seconds of the most HORRIBLE images imagined. Many from the Evil Dead movies, some that might as well been. The way Freddy attacks his mind with them it seems almost worse than it really was. Almost.

INT. BOILER ROOM

Sounds from these experiences echo throughout the boiler room, and when Ash's refresher course ends the last sound keeps echoing over and over, bouncing around the boiler room.

		FORCE
Join us, join us...

		FREDDY
I'm gonna get the book and you're gonna help me.

		ASH
Dream on, asshole.

		FREDDY
That's point. I've had this nightmare gig for years, but people keep fucking up the party. With the Necronomicon, I'll have so much power they'll never be able to stop me. When nightmares and reality are one, I'll be God.

		ASH
I'll never help you get the Necronomicon. Kill me, whatever, as long as I never see that goddamn book ever again.

		FREDDY
I don't need your consent.

		FORCE
Join us, join us, join us...

Freddy smiles.

		FREDDY
Join ME.

FORCE POV: We get an infamous Force POV shot as we charge into Ash's mouth until the screen's engulfed with darkness like the last shot of The Evil Dead.

FADE TO.

EXT. CRYSTAL LAKE HOSPITAL - NIGHT

The ambulance is pulling up to the hospital.

INT. AMBULENCE

The paramedic driving gets out of the truck. Ash then comes right off the gurney.

		PARAMEDIC
Whoa, take it easy, buddy.

Ash punches the paramedic, knocking him out. 

EXT. CRYSTAL LAKE HOSPITAL

When the other paramedic opens the ambulance's back door, Ash bursts out and grabs him by the collar. 

		ASH
	(Freddy's voice)
Where's the police station?

INT. SMALL ROOM

Amy, Michelle and Evan are now sitting in an interrogation room,  talking to Sheriff Miller and DEPUTY RAIMI.

		EVAN
Okay, two guys were doing the killings. This big guy in a hockey mask and this old dude covered in blood.

		AMY
No.

		EVAN
What?

		AMY
The other guy wasn't in on it. He was just someone who got caught in the other guy's path like us I guess.

		MICHELLE
Amy's right. I mean he fought the goalie and tried to kill him.

		MILLER
Um, will you excuse us for a second?

EXT. CRYSTAL LAKE POLICE STATION

Freddy/Ash walks outside the station. He looks over at the garage and sees that the door of it is wide open. He smiles and walks toward it.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY

Miller and Raimi look at the kids through a two-way mirror.

		RAIMI
So... do you think it might actually be Jason or just some wacko?

		MILLER
There was no body and according to them he got a chainsaw in the back of the head. But we shouldn't jump to any conclusions. They might be on drugs or something.

		RAIMI
What about that book? They could be into some pretty freaky shit...

EXT. POLICE STATION - PARKING LOT - NIGHT

OFFICER BECKER walks out to squad car. 

“ki ki ki ma ma ma”

As he reaches his car and is about to open the driver's door, Jason grabs him by the back of the head, pulls his head back, then slams Becker's face forward into the top of the car. The imprint of Becker's face comes through the roof.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

Miller sets the Necronomicon on the table in front of Amy, Michelle and Evan.

		MILLER
	(sternly)
Okay. What is this and what do all these writings and pictures mean?

		AMY
I don't know. That "good guy" brought it in with him.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY

Freddy/Ash is sneaking through a hallway. A door farther down the hallway opens, and Freddy/Ash ducks through a doorway close to him. OFFICER SPIEGEL walks out of the room farther down the hall, passes the doorway Freddy/Ash ducked through and continues on down the hall. He reaches a corner and starts to turn it, when he stops and makes a frightened noise similar to what a frightened member of The Three Stooges would make. Then Jason steps around the corner and jams his machete into Spiegel's stomach. Jason then pulls the machete out of Spiegel, lets his body drop to the floor, and walks on down the hall. Freddy/Ash watches Jason walk past the doorway he ducked through.

		FREDDY/ASH
This asshole really gets around.

As Jason nears the end of the hall, the doors at the end open and OFFICER MYERS enters. Myers sees the hockey masked hulk walking toward him, machete dripping blood on the floor as he comes, and draws his gun.

		MYERS
FREEZE! DROP YOUR WEAPON!

Jason just keeps walking to Myers opens fire.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

The three friends and two cops react to the sound of gunfire. Miller quickly grabs his walkie talkie.

		MILLER
Who the hell is shooting at what?

		COP (O.T.W.T.)
I don't-oh god. It's horrible.

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE AREA

We are in a small office area with a bunch of desks. The cops are supposed to be doing paper work but instead are reacting to the sound of gunfire. The six cops - BURLESON, MAZZA, TAPERT, TYLER, HODGES and KATZ - are all getting their weapons ready.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - NEXT TO INTERROGATION ROOM

Miller and Raimi come out of the room.

		MILLER
You stay here and watch over the kids. I'll see what the fuck is going on.

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE AREA

The cops are all guarding the door, guns ready when a bloody-headed Myers suddenly comes crashing through the doors and lands on the floor in a motionless heap. Jason strides into the room close behind. The cops realize who he is, or who this person is copying, and open fire. The bullets have little effect on Jason, even if they do tear out little chunks of rotten flesh and draw blood. He just keeps coming toward the cops, machete ready. Jason reaches Tapert first, swinging the machete and cleaving his face in half. Jason then turns and catches Hodges across the throat with the blade. Burleson hits Jason in the back of the head with his gun, Jason turns and tosses him across the room. Katz is reloading when Jason grabs him by the throat, breaks his neck, and then tosses him upwards through a ceiling light. Tyler turns to run, but runs right into a desk. He gets impaled to the desk for his mistake. Before
Jason can get his machete pulled out of the desk and Tyler, Mazza unloads his gun right into Jason's head. Jason rocks on his feet for a second, then collapses forward onto the desk. That's when another set of doors open and OFFICERS DUNWOODY and O'BRIEN enter, along with Sheriff Miller.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY

Freddy/Ash looks into the "office area" as he passes the doorway and walks on down a different hall.

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE AREA

Mazza smiles.

		MAZZA
I did it. I killed Jason.

		MILLER
Well, fuck-a-doodle-doo. Just leave him alone and don’t touch him.

Mazza blantly ignores him and hits the body with his gun. Jason is NOT dead and grabs Mazza. He gets up, still holding Mazza and goes to Tyler and shoves Tyler's body all the way down the blade of the machete, then pushing Mazza's neck over into the blade, decapitating him. Jason then looks up at Dunwoody, O'Brien and Miller as they open fire on him. He rips the machete out of Tyler and walks toward them.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

		EVAN
See, it's that one motherfucker's book. I knew he was in on it.

		AMY
Shut up, Evan. You weren't even there.

		MICHELLE
Yeah, you ran off like a little pussy.

		EVAN
Well, excuse me for not staying during all that bullshit.

		AMY
I'm tired of this.

Amy goes over to the door and bangs on it.

		AMY
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON OUT THERE?

		RAIMI (O.S.)
Just stay in the room.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY

Raimi gets on his walkie talkie.

		RAIMI
Miller.
	(beat)
Miller.
	(beat)
Dammit.

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE AREA

Jason has Miller cornered and is raising the machete high above his head, tip pointed down, both hands on the handle. Miller yells.

MACHETE'S POV: Jason slams us down into Miller's mouth and down his throat. 

Dunwoody has run out of bullets, so he tosses his gun at Jason before pulling out his nightstick and swinging it at Jason's head. Jason catches him by the wrist, pulls the nightstick out of his hand and stabs him in the chest with the blunt piece of wood. Jason reaches down and pulls his machete out of Miller's mouth, turning to O'Brien as she watches him, continuing to pull the trigger on her gun even though it's
out of bullets. Burleson has gotten back to his feet at this point and he grabs O'Brien, pulling her into the hallway that she, Dunwoody and Miller came out of. 

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - CONT'D

O'Brien snaps out of it, dropping her gun and running down the hallway with Burleson. Jason steps up to the end of the hallway, watching them run. Then he throws his machete so that it flies down the hallway after them, spinning. The blade catches O'Brien in the side of the head, and as she falls it continues on down the hall, ending stuck in Burleson's back. Burleson falls to the floor and Jason walks after him to retrieve his machete. When Jason is halfway there, bloody-headed Myers bursts out of a room and grabs him.

		MYERS
Didn't think I was dead? Did ya?

Jason just backhands him, causing his head to spin around backwards. Myers falls back into the room he came out of.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - OUTSIDE INTERROGATION ROOM

Raimi is scrambling on the walkie talkie. All there is, is static. And as he does, the door bursts open, hitting Raimi in the back and knocking him to the floor. In walks - Freddy/Ash. Raimi looks up at him, reaching for his gun. Freddy/Ash puts a foot on his hand.

		FREDDY/ASH
Where's the book?

		RAIMI
(pointing to the interrogation room)
What did you do to the others?

Before Freddy/Ash can reply, he suddenly jerks back against the wall, taking his foot off of Raimi's hand.

		ASH
Don't let me reach the book. Shoot me if you have to, just don’t-

		FREDDY/ASH
SHUT UP!

		RAIMI
YOU'RE CRAZY!

He steps forward and kicks Raimi in the face, knocking him out. He then turns and goes into the interrogation room. 

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

Amy and Michelle light up seeing their hero.

		AMY
Oh god! What the hell happened?

		MICHELLE
There's shootings and the book and-

Freddy/Ash ignores them and goes for the book. When Michelle grabs his arm he just shoves her away. He holds it in his hands with a big smile.

INT. BOILER ROOM

Ash cries in horror as he knows what will happen.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

Amy, Michelle and Evan watch in shock as the Necronomicon begins to fade out of existence.

INT. BOILER ROOM

Freddy appears in front of Ash, holding the book. Ash yells, struggling to get free. Freddy turns to him.

		ASH
YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

		FREDDY
I have some reading to do. But I'll tie up loose ends later.

Freddy flicks his claws into Ash's face.

CUT TO.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

Ash is back to normal. He pounds his fist against the table, yelling, pissed and scared. He turns on Amy, Michelle and Evan.

		ASH
Why the hell didn't you stop him?

		EVAN
Him? Man, we don't even know what the FUCK is going on!

Before they can argue too much about it, Raimi's dead body comes flying through the two-way mirror, his spine pulled halfway out of his back. Jason steps up to the busted mirror and looks in at them. Everyone freaks out. Michelle hurries toward the door, deciding to try to run past Jason and out of the room beyond. It looks like Jason's going to get her, though, so Ash picks up a chair and throws it into Jason's side. At the same time, Amy grabs Raimi's gun and starts to shoot Jason. Michelle manages to get past Jason, Evan follows, then Ash grabs Amy as the gun runs out of bullets and drags her out of the room. Jason follows them out of the room.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - CONT'D

They run through the hallway and into the--

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE AREA - CONT'D

They run past all the bodies and out to--

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - CONT'D

They run through it and open a door and go into--

INT. POLICE STATION - GARAGE - CONT'D

They go through it and finally to--

EXT. POLICE STATION - NIGHT - CONT'D

They spot the car that has Becker's face stuck through the roof. Ash runs to Becker's body and takes his gun. Ash then throws Becker's keys to Amy.

		ASH
Go to his car and get the boomstick.

		AMY
Boomst-

		ASH
The shotgun in the dashboard.

Ash points his gun at the door, waiting Mr. Voorhees. But... he's not coming.

		ASH
Okay, we can go.

		AMY
What are we going to do?

		ASH
YOU are going somewhere else, maybe a different police station. I'VE got to get ready because some very big shit is gonna hit a very little fan.

		AMY
What? No. We're all in this together, we're a team. This guy, or guys, killed my friends. I want revenge.

		EVAN
Yeah, I'm in, too.

		MICHELLE
Yeah.

		ASH
But-

		AMY
No buts about it. We're a team, like it or not.

		ASH
Fine.

		EVAN
Just, what's going on here?

		ASH
I'll tell you later, but first... I'm gonna need a bigger chainsaw.

INT. WOODS - NIGHT

They're driving back to the cabin.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR

We get a series of montage shots in the cellar as heroic music from Army of Darkness.

-- Michelle grabbing a shovel.
-- Evan grabbing a sledgehammer.
-- Amy grabbing two small blades.
-- Michelle, with a knife, sharpening the eedge of her shovel.
-- Evan banging the hammer on a trash can llid.
-- Amy putting the blades on devices on herr wrists.
-- Michelle has a nice spear/shovel.
-- Evan has a hammer and a trash can as a sshield.
-- Amy has "wrist blades".
-- Ash putting on a shotgun holster.
-- Ash putting the "boomstick" in it.
-- Ash's right hand being taken off.
-- A bigger chainsaw being grabbed.
-- A circle being put at the end.
-- The chainsaw being jammed into the stub..
-- Ash with the chainsaw hand. The camera ZZOOMS in on his face as the "heroic music" really kicks in.

		ASH
Groovy.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR - A LITTLE BIT LATER

Everyone is sitting down.

		ASH
Okay. You wanna know what happened okay? I was about your age in the early 80s. I had a fun time and like you guys went up to an old cabin with my sister, girlfriend, best friend, and his girlfriend. We all had a blast until... the cellar came open. I checked it out and I found that little book that's caused so much trouble. The Necronomicon Ex Mortis. It was brought there by this guy, Knowby, who found it in some ancient castle. Well, we found it and played the tape recorder of him reading the book. Hell opened up. Literally. Demons started possessing my sister, girlfriend, everyone. I burnt the book and though it was over. No. The Evil was still alive. It took over my hand as you can see. Well, Knowby's daughter comes up to the cabin and we figure out with her extra pages, that we had to send the Evil back through time. We did, she died, but I went back too. There I found out I was "Chosen One". I was prophesied to destroy the evil forever. I went to get the book in that time, but because I couldn't remember... three... VERY CONFUSING words, um, all the Evil in the book was raised. So I raised an army. We beat the evil and I thought that was it but... no. When I came back, all I had was nightmares about it. I even got fired from my job thinking some old woman was a monster. Yet somehow I was... drawn to this place. Crystal Lake. Didn't know why... until now. Earlier, I was possessed by this burnt guy. When we were one, I learned he was named Freddy. Freddy is out to get the book. My job is to stop him and destroy it forever. But... it should've already been. In 1300, the Evil was destroyed for good and the book should be dust. I destroyed it.

		EVAN
Hell've job you did there. You must've said some words wrong and messed everything up. Again.

		ASH
Also, I don't think that was the last we saw of the big guy with the mask.

INT. WOODS - DAWN - RED SKY

Jason is back to stalking in the woods. For once, we hear the voice inside Jason's head.

		PAMELA VOORHEES (V.O.)
Jason. You must kill for me. For revenge. They escaped you twice today. They went on your property. They-

		FREDDY KRUEGER (V.O.)
Shut up bitch! Guess what? She ain't coming back, ya retarded mamma's boy!

As Jason looks around to who said that, the sky turns pitch black and ominous clouds start to form. Jason comes across a bunch of vines
blocking his way and is about to slash through them when the vines seem to come alive, whipping at and around Jason. Jason struggles with the vines, breaking them, hacking at them with his machete, but they manage to take his machete away from him and overpower him. Jason is pulled off his feet and the vines drag him off through the woods.

INT. CABIN - CELLAR

		ASH
Okay, we need to focus on beating Freddy. Now our main goal in doing it must be finding and destroying the book.

		AMY
How about going to sleep, hoping our weapons come with us, and kill him before he completes his goal.

		ASH
I hadn't even thought of that. It's a good idea... but we don't have time.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

		EVAN
What the hell was that?

Interested, they go upstairs very curiously, weapons tight in hand.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Loud noises come from upstairs and the group goes up to see what's going on. They notice the darkness outside, it should be daylight by now. The window shutters start to bang open and closed, an unearthly wind begins to blow through the house. They look out the window and see the trees moving in on them, as if they're alive. 

		MICHELLE
Are we asleep or awake?

		ASH
I don't think there's a difference anymore.

		PROFESSOR KNOWBY (O.S.)
Samand Robare dee hitchikers onthe sideofroada. Kena replace Hodda...

		ASH
Oh god. NO!

A man speaks a weird language on a tape recorder somewhere. Ash runs around the room, scared to death.

		ASH
WHERE IS IT?

Ash tries as hard as he can to find it. He runs into the kitchen--

INT. CABIN - KITCHEN - CONT'D

--where an old tape recorder lays on the olld table.

		PROFESSER KNOWBY (O.T.T.)
KANDER! KANDER! KANDER!

Ash reaches for it... but it disappears. Then, silence.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM - CONT'D

Ash goes back to the main room. Everything is back to normal. They all sigh.

		ASH
I guess everything's okay now.

Then, the back door FLYS OPEN and wind blows through. Everything in the room starts to get sucked through the door. All the kids and Ash grab on to something while they scream, trying not to get sucked up. Then, the FREDDY ROTTEN APPLE HEAD, a giant deformed Freddy head with big red eyes and brown, hard, and peeling skin sort of like a rotten apple. Everything around it starts to die and turn black or gray. 

Then a giant brown hand with organic claws comes out of the wall and grabs Ash. Amy and Michelle run over to Ash, trying to save him. Evan just stands there, about to help.

		EVAN
Fuck it.

Evan runs out the front door.

EXT. CABIN - PORCH

The front porch is covered with living vines, Jason wrapped up in them, being hacked at with his own machete. The vines turn on Evan, wrapping around both arms. The vine with the machete swings at Evan, cutting him down the middle and the vines around his arms tear the two halves of his body apart.

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

The girls help Ash start his chainsaw hand. He screams in twisted laughter as he hacks off the Freddy Rotten Apple Head's fingers. Green blood spurts all over Ash and the girls. He roars, lunging forward, farther into the cabin. The girls scream as the ceiling and walls fall down around them, Rotten Apple Freddy getting closer... Then the environment around them changes.

INT. 1428 ELM - LIVING ROOM - OLD AND DESTROYED

They are now in a destroyed old version of 1428 Elm (like that in the middle Nightmare entries). 

INT. CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Ash finds himself alone in the cabin, stumbling back away from the crumbling back wall. He turns around and nearly runs into Jason, free of the vines and machete back in hand. The blade almost hits Ash in the face as Jason raises it. Ash falls backwards... And lands beside an open cellar door in the floor.

INT. EVIL DEAD CABIN

Jason brings the machete down and Ash blocks it with his chainsaw. As Ash struggles to keep Jason from shoving both the machete and chainsaw back into his face, dead, white, water-bloated hands grab the edges of the open cellar door. The windowsills. The front and back doors open. Through all these openings we see corpses floating in water. The room is in the middle of water. But not any water. It's the corpse closet Jason had in his shack in Freddy vs. Jason. The cabin is in the middle of it. Hands grab Jason's shoulders and he's pulled back away from Ash.

INT. 1428 ELM - HALLWAY - UPSTAIRS

Amy and Michelle are making their way through the Nightmare House, checking doors and cautiously moving through rooms.

INT. 1428 ELM - BEDROOM

They slowly open the bedroom door. They both go into it. It is dark and empty, nothing in it. Michelle leaves, but then the door slams shut behind her. Amy starts shaking the doorknob.

INT. 1428 ELM - HALLWAY

Michelle yanks on the door, also trying to open it.

		MICHELLE
It won't budge!

		AMY (O.S.)
Oh god...

INT. 1428 ELM - BEDROOM

The floor in the room becomes a quicksand-like substance and Amy begins to sink. The struggle with the door continues, but it's no use. Amy is soon completely submerged in the quicksand.

INT. 1428 ELM - HALLWAY

Michelle is crying as she bangs and bangs on the door.

		AMY (O.S.)
HELP! HELP! Help...

		MICHELLE
Oh god... Amy...

Michelle steps back from the door and looks around. The door is at the edge of an area where two hallways intersect. She looks in the four directions she could go in. She picks a direction and starts to go that way, but Freddy steps out at the end of the hall. He starts running down the hall toward her, raising his claws. Michelle turns to go another way, but sees that Freddy is running at her from that direction, too. In all four directions, Freddy is running toward her. Michelle starts to look angry and she raises her shovel-spear. The four Freddy’s converge on her, slashing her with their combined sixteen claws. She manages to spear one Freddy in the stomach, but it has little effect. Michelle is dragged to the floor, the four slashing Freddy’s blocking her from our view.

INT. EVIL DEAD CABIN - MAIN ROOM

The bloated, pale corpses of the people Jason has killed in this story
have entered the cabin and are attacking. Jennifer, Eric, Owen, Lizzie, Tim, the cops. All still have the wounds that killed them. Eric doesn't have his head, but Officer Mazza is carrying his. Sheriff Miller still has a machete stuck down his throat, Officer Myers' head is backwards, etc. The zombies attack Jason, tearing at him, beating on him. Jason slashes them apart with his machete. Ash backs up across the room, watching all of this. The zombies bleed a murky aqua blood, and as Jason hacks them to pieces this blood runs down the screen. 

		DEADITE LINDA (O.S.)
Hello, lover...

DEADITE LINDA, Linda with her eyes rolled up in the back of her head and her skin with a green-ish tone, attacks Ash from the side, he grabs her and tosses her away - Right in the path of Jason's swinging machete. Ash continues backing up until he bumps into the wall where a mirror hangs. He has his back to the mirror, so he doesn't notice that the mirror isn't showing a reflection of the back of his head. Instead, Freddy is standing in the mirror, grinning at him. Freddy reaches through the watery glass of the mirror and grabs Ash, dragging him back into it. As Jason continues fighting his victims, Ash disappears through the looking glass. We look into the mirror, and through it we see Ash and Freddy struggling with each other on a catwalk in Freddy's boiler room.

EXT. SOMEWHERE – DUSK

Amy is laying on some concrete steps, covered in the quicksand-like substance, unconscious. Amy comes to soon after we join her. She looks around, seeing the little girls playing jump rope at the top of the stairs she's laying on. Beyond the little girls is a crumbling Gothic-style building. 

		GIRLS
One, two, Freddy's coming for you, three, four, better lock your door, five, six, grab your crucifix, seven, eight, gonna stay up late, nine, ten, never sleep again. 

The girls finish their rhyme and stop playing jump rope, running off into the darkness. A NUN enters the building through the front door. Amy gets to her feet and runs to catch up with the nun.

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Freddy is beating the hell out of Ash. Punching, kicking, and slashing. Ash
can't get his chainsaw to start back up. He pulls out his shotgun, Freddy just knocks it aside. It's not looking good for Ash... When broken glass showers down on Freddy and Ash from nowhere and Jason lands on the catwalk with them, having come through the cabin looking glass as well (even though we don't see any sign of the mirror or the cabin here). Jason looks up and sees Freddy.

CLOSE ON: Jason's eye. It recognizes Freddy.

Jason charges toward the Springwood Slasher.

INT. GOTHIC BUILDING - HALLWAY

Amy wanders down the hallways. It is dark and she is lost, not knowing where she is. She turns a corner and finds the nun waiting for her.

		AMY
Who are you?

		NUN
A friend.

		AMY
Where are we?

		NUN
Where the nightmare began. This was a mental institution at one time... Until a nun was accidentally locked in with the inmates. They raped her for days. This is where Freddy was conceived, the bastard son of a hundred maniacs. I was put to rest, but when the realties merged I came back for one reason. You must stop him. The book must be taken from him and destroyed.

		AMY
Where is the book?

		NUN
The chapel.

		AMY
Chapel? What chapel?

The nun just turns away.

CLOSE ON: Her name tag. "AMANDA KRUEGER".

The nun's face is now an old and rotted skull.

Amy backs away in shock but she bumps into something.

		LITTLE KID (O.S.)
We'll show you.

Amy turns around to see several CHILDREN in the hall with her, dressed in white, glowing clothes. The spirits of Freddy's early victims... The children turn around and begin walking down the hall. Amy follows.

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Jason's pissed and going after Freddy. While Freddy's attention is on Jason, Ash manages to get his chainsaw started. Then Jason goes after
Ash as well, and Ash ends up caught between the two. Jason swings his machete at Ash, but Ash ducks and Freddy catches it. Freddy throws the machete back at Jason. Ash lunges his chainsaw at Jason and it goes throw both Jason and Freddy, impaling them both. Freddy waves his claw and Ash goes flying backwards about 10 feet. Jason then takes his machete and splits Freddy's head in half. Freddy's body falls. Jason then turns around and finds Freddy in front of him. Freddy sticks his claws in Jason's throat and lifts him up with it. Freddy then falls to the ground and looks down. His legs are missing. He looks up and sees Ash. Freddy then vanishes. 

Beat.

Freddy falls from the sky and lands on top of Ash.

		FREDDY
I have to say Williams! Just about as much fun to play with you as it is with Voorhees!

INT. GOTHIC BUILDING - END OF HALLWAY

The children lead Amy to a set of large doors, then blink out of existence. Amy steps up to the doors and opens them.

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Freddy gets off of Ash. He then runs to Jason and tackles him. He just starts tearing and tearing the flesh on his chest with his claws. Freddy rips out a chunk of his flesh, about a pound or two. He picks him up and slashes his throat.

INT. ABANDONED CHURCH

Amy walks through the dusty, dilapidated old chapel from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5. She walks up to the alter. On the alter, next to the old communion, is the Necronomicon.

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Freddy knocks Jason down a flight of stairs next to the boiler room. He's about to go down after Jason when Ash comes up behind him, swinging his chainsaw at Freddy's back. Freddy turns and catches Ash by the throat and the left forearm.

		FREDDY
You wanna be first?

But then Freddy stops, seemingly sensing something.

INT. ABANDONED CHURCH

Amy picks up the book.

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Freddy realizes what's going on.

		FREDDY
NO!

CUT TO.

INT. ABANDONED CHURCH

Ash comes flying through a stained glass window in the chapel and lands in a heap among the pews. Freddy comes bursting into the chapel after him and turns on Amy. 

		FREDDY
What do you think you're doing, piglet?

Amy replies by jamming one of her blades into the Necronomicon. The chapel shakes and Freddy reacts in pain. And confusion at the pain. Amy stabs the book again, gets the same reaction. She's about to do it again when Freddy waves an arm, knocking her back through the wall with an invisible shockwave.

EXT. EVIL DEAD CABIN - NIGHT

Amy flies and lands hard on a pile of leaves. The Necronomicon flies out of her hand and opens, the pages being flipped through.

INT. ABANDONED CHURCH

Freddy watches her through the hole in the chapel wall, when heavy footsteps walk across the floorboards. Freddy turns around just in time to be grabbed by Jason and tossed through the hole, into the clearing.

EXT. EVIL DEAD CABIN

Amy looks around at the fallen leaves that she's laying in and realizes that there are snakes moving among the leaves all around her. Amy gets to her feet and hurries away, toward the cabin. Freddy is using a tree to pull himself to his feet as Jason walks toward him. Ash enters the clearing and as Freddy and Jason start fighting again, Ash runs to the Necronomicon and picks it up. Freddy sees this and starts after him, knocking Jason aside. Ash holds on to the Necronomicon as Freddy attacks him. Amy is on the cabin porch, the snakes following her. She takes a step back through the cabin's door to avoid them--

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

Amy finds herself back on a catwalk in Freddy's boiler room. No sign of the doorway, the snakes or anything.

EXT. EVIL DEAD CABIN

Jason joins Freddy and Ash's fight. Ash blocks machete blows with his chainsaw while trying to keep the Necronomicon out of Freddy's reach. The fight goes up onto the cabin porch, where there is no longer any snakes, back through the door--

INT. BOILER ROOM - CATWALK

--A swing of Jason's machete knocks the Neccronomicon out of Ash's hand. It falls down to the floor of the boiler room.

		ASH
AMY! GET THE BOOK!

Amy starts to try to find her way down to the floor. Freddy, Jason and Ash fight their way down the catwalk, down some stairs. Freddy sticks his hands in the back of Jason's head and uses it like a glove to hit Ash in the head. Ash tries to use his chainsaw on Freddy, but Freddy grabs it and tries to have it hit Ash back. Jason then chops Freddy's right hand off with the machete. Freddy grows it back and gives Jason "the finger". He then sticks the middle finger in Jason's eye.

As Amy makes her way down to the floor, the boiler room itself starts to attack her. Chains and pipes whip out at her, the catwalk railings try to wrap around her hands.

Ash catches Freddy across the chest with the chainsaw at the same time that Jason machetes him across the back. Freddy falls to the catwalk floor.

		FREDDY
You're REALLY starting to piss me off...

Freddy turns on Ash and Jason, now with his DEMON FREDDY look seen in FvJ. His eyes are pure red and his skin is more complex. He has sharp fangs and pointed teeth. A pit opens in the floor below, a long fall to a raging inferno at the bottom, just like the pit JOEY was held captive over in Nightmare 3. An invisible blast knocks both of them backwards through the railing and they fall through the air. Ash hits the floor fifteen feet below, Jason hits the edge of the pit and falls in.

Amy has reached the floor at the same time and is picking up the Necronomicon. She sees the pit and starts to go for it, to throw the Necronomicon into the fire... Freddy stops her, stepping up behind her and slamming his claws into her back, lifting her up on them.

		FREDDY
Book burning bitch.

Ash is crawling across the floor, to where his shotgun is laying.

Freddy takes the book from Amy's hand and tosses her body aside. Then there's the loud bang of the shotgun being fired and the shot blows the book out of Freddy's hand. A large hole explodes in Freddy's back as well and the boiler room shakes, pipes bursting. The book lands near the pit.

Freddy turns to find Ash laying nearby. Beaten, bloody, holding the smoking shotgun. Freddy's been hurt by the shot to the book, but he still has fight in him. He picks Ash up, slaps and slashes him, then tosses him back toward the pit. Ash lands beside the Necronomicon at the edge of the pit. Freddy walks toward Ash, clicking his claws.

		FREDDY
You think you'll stop me? I'll swallow your soul! There's plenty of room.

Freddy rips open his shirt. On it there are the screaming faces of Brandy, Sam, Evan and Michelle. Slowly, Amy also appears.

Freddy goes to Ash and stabs him in the stomach while laughing. Ash winces in pain. Ash looks away, grabbing the Necronomicon. He's about to throw it into the pit - Then Jason lunges up out of the pit and grabs him as Jason kicks Freddy down. Jason and Ash slide back along the edge of the pit. Ash tries to get out of Jason's grasp. Jason's hand slides down Ash's arm and ends up grabbing the Necronomicon and taking it out of his hand. Jason slides back off of Ash, allowing Ash to be able to point the shotgun back at him.

		ASH
You want it? Take it.

Freddy runs up and is about to pull the Necronomicon away from Jason when Ash again fires the shotgun, into the book's cover. The blast goes through the book and knocks Jason and the book backwards, off of Ash and into the pit. The blast through the book also blows a huge hole through Freddy's chest and stomach, throwing him backwards across the boiler room. Jason and the book fall down into the inferno at the bottom of the pit. Jason sinks into the fire. The book is consumed in flames. As the book burns, Freddy lays against a boiler, having a meltdown. His flesh bubbles and melts, skin splits and green and red blood bubbles out. Freddy's face melts off his skull.

Ash climbs to his feet, reloading his shotgun as he limps toward Freddy's burning, melted body.

		ASH
I've been through Hell. I've fought all kinds of demons and monsters. They've all wanted to swallow my soul. My answer's still the same-

FREDDY'S POV: Ash points the shotgun in his face.

CLOSE ON: Ash's face.

		ASH
Swallow this.

CLOSE ON: Freddy's melted skull. In SLOW MOTION, the head explodes from the shotgun like a ripe melon.

Fire explodes up out of the pit, filling the boiler room--

CUT TO.

INT. CRYSTAL LAKE CABIN - MAIN ROOM

Ash wakes with a start, laying on the floor of the Crystal Lake cabin. He looks around to see that the place looks fine. No sign of where Rotten Apple Head Freddy burst through the back, but also no sign of Amy, Michelle or Evan. Ash climbs to his feet, taking the chainsaw off his right wrist, and heads for the front door.

EXT. CRYSTAL LAKE CABIN - PORCH - MORNING - CONT'D

Ash steps out on the porch and sits down. He looks down at the scratch wound on his stomach and winces in pain. He starts to breathe slower and slower...

FADE TO.

INT. CRYSTAL LAKE POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

While it was destroyed in the merged realities, now that it's not, the Necronomicon lies on the table. We hear a deep laughter boom in the background followed by--

		FORCE
Join us...

FADE TO.

INT. WOODS - MORNING

Jason is slumped against a tree in the spot where he was when he was attacked by the living vines. His clothes are charred, his mask slightly melted, and smoke is rising up off of him. We ZOOM IN on his mask and once we're close, a music sting accompanies the opening of his eye.

CUT TO BLACK.

“ki ki ki ma ma ma”
