Freddy ist ja okay, und Jason ja auch, aber lass´es mich mal so ausdrücken:

Ich trinke gerne Kaffee und ich rauche auch gern (so blöd das auch ist...), aber ich würde NIE Kaffee trinken, in dem Zigaretten drin sind...

Und wenn ihnen nix mehr einfällt töten sie ein paar Teenager oder wat?

Keine ahnung, da stand halt nur das zur Story.

Wetten, daß manchen der Film wieder nicht gefällt (ähnlich wie Jason X)...
es gibt immer jemand der meckert....

nur hoffen wir das beste. ich bin zuversichtlich, daß dies ein guter Funsplatter streifen wird.

Denk ich auch, wird geil.

Beitrag von: Lionel am 06. Juli 2002, 09:07:21
Denke, dass er recht gut wird. Eine Variante wäre doch noch gewesen:Freddy vs. Jason vs. Michael vs. Leatherface, oder?
P.s.: Ist nur Spass

Das denke ich auch!*mit Spannung erwarten*

Also Ken Hodder wird nicht in dem Film als Jason zu sehen sein, schade eigentlich!
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Bloodsurfer am 20. August 2002, 20:03:49
Er heisst Kane Hodder. Und woher weißt du das?
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Nosferatu am 20. August 2002, 20:28:22
Ja, hast recht, hab mich verschrieben. von darkhorizons
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Seth Gecko am 20. August 2002, 20:41:04
Der Film wird auch ohne ihn funktionieren. Aber wenn Englund Freddy nicht speilt, das könnte n echts Problem sein. Aber der ist soweit ich weiß dabei.
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Bloodsurfer am 20. August 2002, 20:50:55
Freddy ohne Englund wär kein Freddy...
Aber das mit Hodder ist kein allzu großer Verlust, den haben eh schon mehrere gespielt. Auf einen mehr oder weniger kommt's mir da nicht an...

Einige der Bilder sind irgendwie aus bekannten Motiven zusammengesetzt und retusiert.....nun....wie etwas aus dem fertigen Film aussieht ?????

alles Promomaterial!
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Necronomicon am 06. November 2002, 10:40:10
Stimmt, auf allen Plakaten, die so im Netz rumschwirren, sieht man nur bekannte Motive. Da hätte man im Vorfeld eigentlich mehr erwartet, hoffentlich wird der eigentliche Film dann auch nicht nur ein Aufguss aus schon vorhandenem Material.

Kann jemand schon den groben Inhalt der Story schildern ?
Wie treffen Freddy und Jason eigendlich aufeinander ?

Das einzige was ich weis, ist wie der berühmte Aufzählreim abgewandelt wurde;

"1, 2 Freddy kommt vorbei. 3,4 Jason steht vor deiner Tür" :)

Der Reim kling gut :)

Ich habe gehört, dass Freddy in Jasons Träume herumgeistert (Jason hat Gefühle => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, wie scheisse :evil: ). Es soll angeblich zwei Enden geben. In einem gewinnt Freddy und im anderen Jason.
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Ed am 06. November 2002, 17:18:25
Das mit den 2 Enden hab ich auch schon gehört, das mit den Träumen noch nicht...na ja, mal abwarten, aber Jason...träumen...????
Titel: Freddy vs. Jason
Beitrag von: Ed am 06. November 2002, 17:20:32
Hehe, wobei, wenn man sich das mal vorstellt...lol...kann schon ziemlich genial witzig werden, Jason träumt davon klischeehaft dargestellte Teenies umzumetzeln, doch da macht ihm Freddy einen Strich durch die Rechnung und macht sie Jason streitig, dann ist der arme Jason beleidigt und beide metzeln sich ab und leider kommen dann noch ein paar Teens in die Quere, die ziemlich gelegen kommen....rofl...kann ziemlich witzig werden, muss aber nicht, mal abwarten.... :?

Freddy ist einfallsreicher, aber Jason ist halt "cooler" - einfach die Machete raus und fertig.

Außerdem ist Freddy seit Teil 5 m. E. nicht mehr bedrohlich, sondern nur noch lustig. Deshalb gehören auch meine Sympathien eher Jason.

Freddy würde ich dagegen beispielsweise bei einem Kampf gegen Horace Pinker die Daumen drücken.

Aber eigentlich will ich ja nochmal Gina Wild kämpfen sehen (nach Möglichkeit diesmal im Schlamm...)  :-P

Ich find beide cool. Darum find ich das mit den zwei Enden ein sehr gute Idee. Jason ist zwar körperlich um einiges mächtiger, dafür ist Freddy schlauer und geschickter.
Mal sehen wie's wird.

Ich hab das script gefunden, ist zwar leider nur auf english, aber man kann es sich ja mal angucken...

               FREDDY VS JASON
               
               A Screenplay by:
                 Peter Briggs

   FADE IN:

   EPIC MUSIC O.S., the MAIN TITLES ROLLING over a series of medieval
   WOODCUTS.  SINISTER IMAGERY - monsters, demons, torture devices -
   DISOLVING into one another, then we...

                                            
   OPEN ON:

   EXT. HILLSIDE PASS - SUNSET (17TH CENTURY)

   Lush green fields and vineyards, very like the Napa Valley.  
   SOLEMN BENDICTINE CHANTING on the SOUNDTRACK, and the distant
   RESONANT TOLLING of a church bell, O.S.

   We HEAR TINKLING CHIMES.  With a gentle CLIP-CLOP OF HOOVES, a
   burro crests a dark hill, silhouetted against the blood-red sun.  
   Its rider adorned in lavish Catholic vesments.

   Before we can be amused, SIX MAGNIFICENT CHARGERS follow.  Two
   grim-faced    CIVILIANS in formal Middle-Ages clothing to the fore,
   a vanguard of pennant-wielding SOLDIERS at back.

   CLOSER NOW.  The horses are nervous.  The burro's rider - SIGNOR
   DELUCA - MURMURS something nervously in Italian.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         "Le colline...hanno occhi!"

   PITT - a wary American Witchfinder - narrows his eyes.  Turns to
   his traveling companion.

                  PITT
         What did he say?

   HOPKINS - an aristocratic Englishman with a startling similarity
   to Christopher Lee - avoids his gaze.  Scours the encroaching
   terrain with his    keen vision.

                  HOPKINS
         "The hills...have eyes."

   The horses WHINNY, worried by something nearby.  SHEET-LIGHTNING
   whites-out the sky, drizzle spattering the earth.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
               (heavily-accented English)
         It's begun --

   AN ANGLE ABOVE, LOOKING DOWN.  The company trek purposefully along
   the winding trail.  Something dark prowls past IMMEDIATE
   FOREGROUND. GROWLS inhumanely...

   EXT. CASTLE APPROACH - SUNSET (17TH CENTURY)

   The horses BUCK and REAR as they round the bend.

                  SOLDIER #1
         Mother of God --

   THEIR P.O.V.  A PAIR OF GROTESQUE WOODEN-FRAME EFFIGIES dominate
   the trail    ahead, one to either side.  Human-shaped, 30 feet
   tall.  Both are aflame, packed with BURNING CADAVERS (anyone
   remember the 1973 movie "The Wicker Man"?).

                  HOPKINS
               (solemnly)
         I've seen this before.

                  PITT
         In England?

                  HOPKINS
         In the darkest chasm of my dreams...

   As the troupe continue forward, we CRANE UP BEHIND THEM.  Half a
   mile away, a gothic Italian castle looms ominously dark THUNDER
   CLOUDS roll supernaturally across the sky.  A SUPERIMPOSED CAPTION
   CARD informs us this is:

         ITALY - 1648

   EXT. ENTRANCE - CASTLE - NIGHT (17TH CENTURY)

   The ground has turned to slush.  The horses skid, lose their
   footing.  An ornate wooden box tethered to a saddlebag bursts
   open, releasing --

                  PITT
         Pontiff -- !

   SOLDIER #1 dismounts, scrabbles in the mud.  Passes two rather
   plain-looking daggers back to DeLuca.  As he does--

   THEY TRANSFORM.  Morphing into exact duplicates of the Byzantine
   blade which slayed Jason Voorhees in "Jason Goes To Hell."  
   Astonishment flashes across the Soldier's face.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
               (admonishes him)
         This matter...will not pass your lips.

   Hopkins and Pitt stare covetously at the weapons.

                  PITT
         The Daggers of Horvath...

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         Sacrosanct.  Said...forged...by the
         alchemists...of dead Atlantis.

                  HOPKINS
               (cannily)   
         ...And also from the blade which pierced
         the side of Christ?

   DeLuca shrugs, perhaps a little annoyed.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         The origins are unimportant.  Only their
         powers count this day.
               (to Soldier #2)
         Tether the animals.

   A turret rises above, a portent of doom.  Lightning FLARES.

   INT. ENTRANCE HALL - CASTLE - NIGHT (FOREGROUND MINATURE)

   Boots ECHO on stone as the group enter an expansive circular
   chamber.  Water PLINK-PLONKS from dank archeways all around.  
   Inverted crosses on the walls, torches flickering in metal wall-
   holders.  A wide staircase spirals into cobwebbed darkness above.

   A pair of giant censers swing back-and-forth...dozens of dangling
   chains with upturned corpses - real Grand Guignol - tangled in
   them.

   The FAINT STRAINS of a NURSERY RHYME - somehow familiar to us -
   intrude.  Incongruously, the LYRICS are Italian --

                  DREAM CHILDREN
               (O.S., "Freddy Theme")
         "Uno, Due...Thanos venga per te.  Tre,
         quattro...dovete chiudre le porte."

                  HOPKINS
         You hear -- ?

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         Si.  Pitt...?
   
   The American stares up at the hanging wrought-iron chandelier
   frame, scrutinizing the SYMBOL forged into it.  Neither Celtic
   run, nor Egyptian glyph.  Not Sanskrit, or pentangle...but somehow
   all at once.

                  PITT
         Salem.  Four years past.  I burnt a coven.
         This same device.
               (a beat)
         Evil is at hand...

                  DREAM CHILDREN
               (O.S.)
         "Nove, dieci...non dormirai piu --"

   A VERTICAL ANGLE, HIGH ABOVE.  The RHYME stops.  SILENCE.  We HEAR
   a STEADY THUMP...THUMP.  They draw their swords as --

   Something PUNCHES FORCEFULLY through a COBWEB VEIL, BOUNCES down
   the steps.  Comes to a halt at SOLDIER #3's feet...a dyed-purple
   leather ball.  He bends    

                  PITT
         Wait -- !

   Either the man chooses to ignore, or he doesn't understand.  He
   picks it up.  There's a MIDIEVAL SMILING SUN embroidered in gold
   filigree on one side.  He grins.  Flips it to see --

   BURNS and MELTS, maggots and yellow bile pouring forth into his
   hand.  It multiplies exponentially, spilling up along his arm in a
   second like a cancer.  He turns, SCREAMING to the others --

                  HOPKINS
         Back...stay back!

   The Soldier lurches for them, his entire body consumed now.  He
   stumbles, falls to the floor.  EXPLODING into a mass of scarab
   beetles that scurry past their feet for the corners of the room.  
   DeLuca crosses himself.

   GIGGLING from above.  The group look up to see a pair of YOUNG
   GIRLS in white dresses duck back over a high balcony.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         There...

   INT. WINDING STAIRWAY - CASTLE - NIGHT (17TH CENTURY)

   A HUGE SPIDER scuttles across the thick blocking cobwebs.  The
   group cautiously acend the stairway, slicing at the musty veil.  
   As Pitt turns his lantern to see a wall HEAVING with bugs --

   A COVEY OF CROWS flush from a cranny, wings fluttering into their
   face, blinding them.  DeLuca staggers back, feet pedaling on the
   edge.  A straight drop, 50 feet...

                  HOPKINS
               (alarmed)
         Signor!

   Hopkins hand lashes out and drags him back.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
               (thankful)
         Grazie.

   INT. CORRIDOR - CASTLE - NIGHT (17TH CENTURY)

   At the corridor's end are massive iron doors, 5 feet tall.  A pair
   of drop-dead gorgeous BLACK WOMEN in white robes stand before
   them, staring enigmatically with peculiar eyes.  The smoke
   wreathing them SWIRLS back through the doors like REVERSE TIME-
   LAPSE, gliding them with it.

   INT. NECROMANCER'S LAIR - CASTLE - NIGHT (17TH CENTURY)

   Another cylindrical chanber; the "Penticon" symbol Pitt recognized
   hewn large on the ancient stone floor.  Through a glass skylight
   above, turbulent clouds simmer menacingly.

                  HOPKINS
         The Necromancer.

   In the chamber's center - above the "Penticon", about 5 feet off
   the ground - floats a MAN. Crunched into a fetal position, he is
   naked.  Tautly muscled, every square inch of his body inscribed
   with occult symbology.  (He also bears more than a passing
   resemblance to Robert Englund).

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         My nephew...

   THE DOORS SLAM CLOSED behind them, the wall-torches extinguishing.  
   The chamber becoming wreathed in the darkest shadows imaginable.  
   A WOMAN'S LAUGHTER ECHOES ICILY, O.S.

                  PITT
         Time is short.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         Let us hurry.

   The three men approach.  The air shimmers, as if they've just
   passed through an invisible field of some kind.

   The three Soldiers stare around the room nervously.  All around
   are drawings and models, prototypes of fantastic inventions.  
   They're so proccupied, they don't notice --

   THIER OWN SHADOWS, peeling away from their bodies and sliding up
   the wall to vanish into the gloom above.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA (cont'd)
         Help me.  Reveal his heart.

   DeLuca holds the Dagger steady.  As Hopkins and Pitt reach up to
   grasp the Necromancer's folded arms --

   Behind them, DARK GRASPING CLAWS shoot down from above towards the
   Soldiers.  Hauling a SCREAMING Soldier #1 upward.

   The Necromancer's eyes SNAP OPEN instantly, unleashing a BELLOW OF
   RAGE.  DeLuca slams forward with astonishing strength, driving the
   Dagger into the Necromancer's chest..but only part way.  The
   creature's arms WHIP OUT with superhuman force, knocking the
   demon-slayers away.

   Soldiers #2 and #4 hack furiously away with their swords, trying
   to release their comrade, as --

   Hopkins reaches out. Grasps the Dagger's handle and drives it
   further into the Necromancer's heart, twisting it.  He SHRIEKS
   like a feral animal --

   Then falls to the floor.  That same instant, the disemboweled
   corpse falls. Soldier #1 drops out of the shadows with a THUMP.  
   The survivors edge warily forward, until --

   THEIR LANTERNS FLARE LIKE XENON, achingly bright.  The shadown in
   the room seem to alter...flow.  A moving, liquid mass from every
   corner that pours towards the fallen Necromancer, entering the
   corpse's mouth and nostrils.  The chamber brightens, until --

   There are no more shadows in the room.  A BEAT, then --

   THE BODY EXPLODES, atomized to fine red droplets.  An ENORMOUS
   FORM rises up from within, some vast CLOAKED OUTLINE, LAUGHING
   with DEEP MALEVOLENCE.  Pitt steps forward, brandishing a
   crucifix.

                  DARK VOICE
         Foolish mortals...do not task me!

                  PITT
         Be gone, Apollyon!

   A shadow tentacle lashes out, slithers around Pitt's neck.  Hauls
   him off the floor and squeezes tight.  The crucifix clatters to
   the ground as blood seeps from his lips.

   Hopkins and SOLDIER #4 race forward to help.  Another pair of
   tentacles explode forth.  Hopkins is sent sprawling...the black
   mass PUNCHING straight through the Soldier #4's armor like a
   javelin and impaling him against the wall.  An arrow unleashed
   from Soldier #2's crossbow evaporates in mid-air.

   Pitt's tentacle finishes its work.  His decapitated body drops to
   the ground, the head rolling off into the shadows.

   Another pseudopod hurtles for DeLuca, who cries out --

   But suddenly Hopkins is there, wielding a Dagger of Horvath.  The
   tentacle hits the Holy blade and rives into black ice, showering
   the chamber floor.  The Shape LAUGHS UPROARIOUSLY.

                  DARK VOICE
         When Time...reaches its close...and your
         race attains the skies...I will set my
         creatures to shatter this world.

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         Consign thee to Hell, foul spawn!

   The stone "Penticon" beneath the Necromancer's corpse SHATTERS
   like glass, dropping into a GAPING ESOPHAGAL TUNNEL that plunges
   into the DEPTHS OF HELL.  The Shadow-form disappears in a
   SHOCKWAVE BLAST that EXPLODES the skylight and SPLINTERS
   everything breakable.  The MOCKING LAUGHTER fades as the
   "Penticon" reseals whole.

                  HOPKINS

         Demons.  So overdramatic.

   DeLuca gazes around at the complex inventions, marvelling.  

                  SIGNOR DELUCA
         Look at this.  The detail...the genius.

                  HOPKINS
         Humankind...might profit immeasurably.

   Soldier #4 approaches Hopkins hesitantly.

                  SOLDIER #2
         Sire?  What...should --?

   Hopkins moves something on a nearby drafting board.  Examines the
   soft vellum parchment stretched out there.

   Like a Da Vinci anatomical study, we see an intricately detailed
   orthographic representation of FREDDY KRUEGER'S KNIFE-GLOVE
   and JASON VOORHEES' KILLING MASK.

                  HOPKINS
               (absent, but authoritative)
         Burn it all.  Raze it to the ground.

   Flames CRACKLE up INTO FRAME all around as we TRACK SLOWLY into
   the blueprint.  SLAMMING ROCK MUSIC RISES O.S. as we --

                                DISSOLVE THROUGH TO:

   EXT. ELM STREET. - BETHLEHEM, VIRGINIA - DAY

   BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, filtering down through the boughs of trees.  We
   CRANE DOWN, past a sign reading "Elm Street."  Hit a van in
   FOREGROUND on a read of anonymous suburban storefronts.

   TWO CAPTIONS FADE-UP.  The FIRST, which READS:
      
         BETHLEHEM, WEST VIRGINIA.

   And then is replaced by the SECOND:

         DECEMBER, 1999.

   An innocuous-looking bookshop sits across the road, the sign above
   the door reading "SAMHAIN BOOKS."  Right out-front, a muscular
   HELL'S ANGEL sits astride a gleaming Harley.  A scantily-clad
   BIKER BABE faces him atop the gas-tank, legs wrapped around his
   waist.  They're sucking some serious face.

                  REZNOR
               (O.S.)
         What - are you grafted to him, lady?  Just
         how much foreplay's this gorilla need
         anyhow?!

   A TINY RED DOT flickers like an anxious firefly on the girl's
   throught.  Suddenly --

   SHE MOVES.  Legs still in place, she swings around him to ride
   pillion.  He guns the engine, and they pull out.

                  RENZOR
               (O.S.)
         Thank you!  Crowd goes wild --

   The red dot settles on the bookshop window, and --

                  SPEAKER VOICE #1
               (O.S., filtered)
         -- This one's young --

   Through the bookshop window, we see TWO MEN in conversation.

                                 CUT TO:

   INT. F.B.I. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY

   A THUMB, stabbing at a button --

                  SPEAKER VOICE #1 (cont'd)
               (O.S., filtered)
         Fresh --

   A SPECTROSCOPE, leaping into high peaks --

                  SPEAKER VOICE #1 (cont'd)
               (O.S., filtered)
         Like a peach --

   A LASER-MIKE BEAM, slicing out from the one-way van window --

                  SPEAKER VOICE #1 (cont'd)
               (O.S., filtered)
         Camera loves her.

   Nestled hi-tech equipment in the van's  rear is JAMES (JACK)
   REZNOR, F.B.I. Agent extraordinaire.  Grimy, unshaven.  The toll
   of days of stakeout.  Take-out cartons and styrofoam cups littered
   around him.

                  REZNOR
         Yeah - I'll bet, ya toxic sack of puke...

   A video camera rolls quietly next to him.  His cellular phone
   WARBLES for attention.  He reaches down, flips it on.

                  REZNOR
         Agent Reznor.  Better be good.

                                   CUT TO:

   INT. TACTICAL ROOM - F.B.I. H.Q. - WASHINGTON - NIGHT

   An expansive, clean room.  Dozens of manned cubicles, rows of
   computer monitors.  Jim Cameron territory.  Christmas decorations
   break the monotony.

   Reznor's partner JAMES (JACK) COBAIN is in his cubicle on the
   other end, a big F.B.I. logo on the wall behind him.

                  COBAIN
         Jack...it's Jack.

                                   CUT TO:

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY (INTERCUT)

   To the side of the video-cam is an odd-looking CCD stills camera.  
   Reznor thumbs a remote plunger, takes a few shots.

                  REZNOR
         Cobain - what's occurring?  Expected your
         sorry ass hours back...where are you?

   INT. TACTICAL ROOM - F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS - DAY (INTERCUT)

   Cobain watches a CNN forest fire disaster on the wall-mounted T.V.
   nearby.

                  CNN ANCHOR

         incinerated, Canadian authorities seem
         powerless to halt the blaze --"

                  COBAIN
         Washington, still.  They pulled the
         pattern.  Got me playing errand boy for
         some Vatican bigwig out to the airport.

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY (INTERCUT)

   Reznor jacks a wire from the stills-camera into the phone.

                  REZNOR
         Shit.  Well, look...get him to say some
         "Hail Marys."  Things are shaking here,
         just like we thought.

   INT. TACTIACAL ROOM - F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS - DAY (INTERCUT)

   Cobain shifts in his seat, suddenly alert.

                  COBAIN
         Snuff movies?

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY (INTERCUT)

   Reznor thumbs an inset button on the camera which illuminates a
   green:  "TRANSMIT."   

                  REZNOR
         Yeah.  I'm punching what I got through.
         Speaking of things priestly, Paula says I
         should tell you - if you work me tomorrow
         night, your tush is excommunicated.

   INT. TACTICAL ROOM - F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS - DAY (INTERCUT)

   The printer next to Cobain's V.D.U. WHIRRS, spits-out color stills
   from Reznor's camera.

                  COBAIN
         I'll consider myself doomed.

                  REZNOR
               (V.0.)
         They process our backup yet?

                  COBAIN
         Hold a sec.  Uh --

   He cups the mouthpece as somebody (FBI AGENT #1) passes, TOOTING
   an extendable party whistle.  Rifles a tray of paperwork, finds a
   requisition sheet with a SWAT header.  The co-signature is still
   blank.

                  COBAIN (cont'd)
         Tanya...this SWAT request signature?

   A pretty woman looks across from a nearby cubicle.  Shrugs.

                  TANYA
         Holidays...cut-backs?  Prob'ly an
         oversight.  Sorry, Cabain.

                  CABAIN
               (back into phone)
         No change.  Nice pictures...you get a bug
         in there?

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY (INTERCUT)

                  REZNOR
         Not a hope.  You wouldn't believe the
         scanners these bozos use.  Running a laser-
         mike onto their window.

   INT. TACTICAL ROOM - F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS - DAY (INTERCUT)

                  COBAIN
         Alright.  What I'll do is, rush these
         through Photo Intelligence...drize down
         the second I'm through.

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - DAY (INTERCUT)

                  REZNOR
         Deal.  But Jack?  Give SWAT a push.  I got
         a hunch these sickos are about to move.

   INT. TACTICAL ROOM - F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS - DAY (INTERCUT)

   Cobain replaces the handset.  Sits back.  Looks at the paperwork.  
   Thinks a moment.  Drags out a punch-file marked "S.W.A.T." and
   opens it.  Finds an old requisition.  Glances around to make
   certain nobody's watching, then --

   COPIES THE SIGNATURE.  A perfect forgery.

   The T.V. catches his eye again.  Another CNN disaster.

                  CNN ANCHOR
               (O.S.)
         "-- Our top story...a heated skirmish in
         International Waters, Leaving Korea one

   Somebody (FBI AGENT #2) slows as he passes the T.V.

                  FBI AGENT #2
         Great way to end the Century, huh?

                  COBAIN
               (grunts affirmatively)
         World's going to Hell in a handbasket.

   He stabs at a remote.  Flips the channel to WHITE STATIC which --

                        MORPH-DISSOLVES THROUGH TO:

   EXT. "PLAIN OF BONES" - HELL - ZERO HOUR

   A DOWNPOUR OF HORIZONTAL RAIN against a dead grey sky.  So subtle,
   we don't get it for a second.  Then --

   The SHOT ROTATES...TILTS.  Swoops dizzyingly 100 feet.  A LONELY
   WIND HOWLS around a figure.  Face upturned, droplets spatter her
   face.  We recogize her:  ALICE JOHNSON, last seen defeating Freddy
   Krueger in "THE DREAM CHILD."  She shivers, her eyes SNAPPING
   OPEN.

                  ALICE
               (softly, to herself)
         Where am I?

   She's standing on a PLAIN OF BONES AND SKULLS stretching as far as
   the eye can see, rolling hills on the horizon.  The low sky BOILS,
   a SEETHING BUBBLING REDNESS.  A RUMBLE like an onrushing freight
   train GROWS.  She turns to see --

   A SINGULARITY TORNADO of MULTICOLORED ENERGY THUNDERING towards
   her, just 100 feet away.  Chewing up the landscape...sucking
   "reality" into it.  It's breathtaking, and it sounds like all the
   noises in the world.

   Alice bolts as the worldbehind her CRUMBLES, sucked mightily
   upwards.  Her chest heaves, limbs working.  Then --

   The ground QUAKES and ERUPTS, throwing her off-balance.  She falls
   solidly amongst a flurry of SPLINTERING bones.  Looks up to see --

   THE SINGULARITY, looming large.  Unstoppable.  She SCREAMS --

                  ALICE
         Nooooo --!

   A GREAT WHITE EXPLOSION hurls her through the air like a ragdoll.  
   Her arms flail, and then she IMPACTS HARD with --

   EXT. CRAGGY VERTICAL RACKFACE - HELL - ZERO HOUR (CONTINUING)

   A ROUGHLY-HEWN DARK GRANITE PILLAR perhaps 30 feet square,
   dropping vertiginously away thousands of feet below.  She snatches
   a handhold...it SNAPS away.  Falls about a foot...grabs another.  
   Begins a labored ascent...

   EXT. APEX OF PILLAR - HELL - ZERO HOUR (CONTINUING)

   Alice claws her way over the plateau edge.  Lies there, breathing
   heavily.  A sibilant VOICE makes her jump --
   
                  DARK VOICE
               (O.S.)
         Aaaaalicccee --

   She stumbles to her feet, finds herself looking out across the
   plain as the Tornado decimates it.  More bones here, a SINGLE
   ARTHRITIC TREE claws upwards, and standing next to it towers    -
-

   SOMEBODY...SOMETHING.  Cloaked.  A vicious bladed scythe clutched
   in one hand, a BOA CONSTRICTOR coiling around the haft.  If we
   didn't know better, we might say it was the GRIM REAPER.

                  ALICE
         Hello?  Hello...

   Alice's eyes widen as - with an eerie HISS - the figure turns
   towards her.  But before we see the face --

   A VARIATION ON A FAMILIAR FOUR-BLADED CLAW curls disturbingly
   around her neck from behind...

                              SLAM CUT TO:

   INT. ALICE'S CAR - NIGHT

   JACOB JOHNSON - Alice's nervy 8 year old son - YELLS out in panic
   from the passenger seat.

                  JACOB
         Brake!

   Alice jerks awake from her daydream at the wheel to see --

                  ALICE
         Shit!

   STATIONARY TRAFFIC on the freeway ahead, materializing at 40 MPH.  
   She grips the wheel, mashes the brake pedal hard...

   EXT. FREEWAY - BETHLEHEM - NIGHT

   Alice's red Lexus SKIDS through puddles of rain.  SCREECHES to a
   halt inches from the car in front.

   WIDER NOW, PULLING BACK.  Her car a speck at the rear of the worst
   Friday night gridlock you can imagine.

   INT/EXT. ALICE'S CAR - NIGHT

   Alice sits, hyperventilating.  Grey eyes wide.  We get a better
   look at her now.  Smartly-dressed.  Mid-to-late 20s, mid-length
   strawberry-blond hair.  Cute as a button.

   Her son stares accusingly at her from alongside.

                  JACOB
         Mom, you said you weren't tired!

                  ALICE
         No...I...just must have drifted.

                  JACOB
         You weren't...dreaming again?  Like before?

   She gives him a look.  Ducks the loaded question.  Peers out
   through the rain-   slicked windshield.

                  ALICE
         Look at this rain.  Feels like it tailed
         us right from New Jersey.

   She reaches down and flips the radio on.  Gets the news.

                  RADIO NEWSCASTER
               (O.S., on radio)
         -- "Bizarre mass cult suicide at a Rio de
         Janeiro soccer stadium, 20,000 estimated
         dead --"
         
                  ALICE
         Getting harder to find any uplifting news
         these days.

                  JACOB
         That's cause-of it's the "Fin de Sickle."

                  ALICE
         The what?

                  JACOB
         "Fin de --"

                  ALICE
               (pronouncing correctly)
         Ah..."Fin de Siecle"?

                  JACOB
         Yea.  Like, when every century ends,
         everything goes totally nutso.  Only this
         time it's worse, cause it's, like, a new
         Millennium too.

                  ALICE
               (smiles)
         Pretty slick.  Where'd that come from?

                  JACOB
         French class.  Our tea --

   A RUMBLE starts-up, gaining intensity.  A spring-mounted toy bird
   dangling from the rear-view trembles.  The car VIBRATES on its
   suspension, the engine cutting-out.

                  JACOB (cont'd)
         Earthquake!  Wow...cool!

   THEIR P.O.V. People scramble from their cars.  A traffic sign
   ahead shakes, a freeway light swaying like a giraffe's neck.

                  ALICE
               (gettign frightened)
         Virginia doesn't get quakes!

   Their gaze SNAPS ACROSS as a roadside fire hydrant BLOWS, gushing
   water into    the air.  A high-tension wire above SNAPS with a
   TWANG, Jacob YELLING as --

                  JACOB
         Mom!!

   THE SPARKING CABLE hits their roof, HISSING as it writhes.  
   Searing the paintwork a couple of times before dropping to the
   roadside and becoming inert.

   The tremor abruptly ends.  Alice grabs Jacob --

                  ALICE
         Jeez, are you alright--?!
      
                  JACOB
         Think so...

                  ALICE
         Sure?

                  JACOB
         Yea...
            
                  ALICE
         God...that was too freaky.

   She flips the ignition.  Nothing.  Tries it again.  This time the
   engine GRINDS UNPLEASANTLY.

                  ALICE
         Oh.  Oh, no...

                  JACOB
         What's wrong?

                  ALICE
         Our angel must be on coffee-break.  Jake,
         honey...something's wrong.  I'm gonna...
         have to pull us off the next ramp.

   Somebody HONKS behind.  The engine catches, sounds unhealthy.

                  JACOB
               (knowingly)
         What did I say?

                  ALICE
         Yeah.  Tell me about it --

   EXT. ALICE'S CAR - NIGHT

   We PULL BACK on the livid electrical scars seared into the car's
   rooftop.  Oddly, they resemble...Freddy claw gouges.

   A mindful NURSERY RHYME TUNE TINKLESdelicately O.S. as the Lexus
   pulls out onto the freeway turn-off...

                                   CUT TO:

   EXT. STREET - OUTSIDE FREEMAN HOUSE - BETHLEHEM - NIGHT
   
   Neat identical houses:  Suburban Anywheresville, U.S.A.  A 15ft
   illuminated neighborhood Christmas tree shines like a candystore
   beacon.

   Sheets of rain bead on telephone wires crossign the street.  Drip
   into the tree, FIZZING and FLICKERING the bulbs.

   INT. LIVING ROOM - FREEMAN HOUSE - NIGHT

   An 8 year-old blond girl - STEPHANIE FREEMAN - eats a sandwich
   atop the back of a chaise-longue, face pushed up against the misty
   widow.  Stares wide-eyed as the tree flickers spastically across
   the street.

                  STEPHANIE
         Daddy!  The tree isn't working right -- !

   She climbs down, wanders back across the long room.  The
   television plays "The Mask" animated series NOISILY to itself in
   B.G. She glances cursorily at it in passing.

   INT. KITCHEN - FREEMAN HOUSE - NIGHT (CONTINUING)

   Stephanie's parents - STEVEN and JESSICA REEMAN - are in mid-
   argument in the cramped kitchen, a disassembled car gear box
   neatly laid-out on the dining table.

   Steven is an odd blend of bookish and jock, his greasy work
   overalls partially unbuttoned.  His wife is exceptionally
   pretty...at least she would be if she gave herself the chance.  
   She seems tired, long blond hair tied back in a ponytail.  Both
   are in their late 20s.

                  JESSICA
         Steven, you made a promise!

                  STEVEN
         Jess --

                  JESSICA
         New Year's, 1999...a fresh Century!  We
         always said we'd celebrate this one
         togeter, regardless --

                  STEVEN
         We will...look - it'll be a fast pick-up.
         Burn rubber first thing, get this guy's
         sump.  Back in plenty of time.  You...
         me...Stephy --

                  JESSICA
         Ushering-in the "bright new future"?

   She turns away to wash some vegetables at the sink, her tone a
   mixture of cynicism and tired resignation.  Steven stops, frowns.  
   Puzzled and somewhat taken-aback.

                  STEVEN
         Right.  What?

   Stephanie appears at the doorway, interrupting the flow.

                  STEPHANIE
         Daddy...?

                  STEVEN
               (to Jessica, persistent)
         Look, I promised the guy.  Am I missing
         something here -- ?

                  JESICA
               (to Stephanie)
         Oh - not now, baby...

                  STEPHANIE
               (persistent, to Steven)
         -- Can you fix the tree?

   Stephanie picks the stick-shift up from the table.

                  STEVEN
         Which tree?...don't touch that, pumpkin.

   Distracted, Steven takes it from Stephanie, replaces it.  She
   wraps her arms around him.  Pouts petulantly.

                  STEPHANIE
         Over the park.  The lights are all sparky,
         look --
      
                  JESSICA
         Stephy, Mom and Dad are yammerin --

                  STEPHANIE
         Puh-lease?

   She jumps up-and-down.  He ruffles her hair.

                  STEVEN
         Weren't you watching T.V.?

                  JESSICA
         T.V.'s for squids.

                  STEVEN
               (laughs)
         Well...plumb the depths.  I'll get there.

                  STEPHANIE
         O-kay...
   
   Stephanie grudgingly leaves.  Steven LAUGHS.
            
                  STEVEN
         I swear, that kid's intent on setting the
         whole world to rights.

                  JESSICA
         Great.  Have her start here.

   Steven's had it.  Turns to her, baffled.

                  STEVEN
         Alright.  You gonna share into this little
         secret?

                  JESSICA
         Which'd be what?

                  STEVEN
         You, stomping about like a poster ad for
         Prozac.

                  JESSICA
         Oh - pull a 360, Steven!  Take a wild stab!

   Steven looks wounded.  This seems to be a familiar routine.

                  STEVEN
         C'mon, Jess --

                  JESSICA
         No!  No, I've had it!  I'm sic of...of
         clipping coupons...scrimping every cent.
         We've bills up the ying-yang...I want us
         to actually amount to something!

                  STEVEN
         Pushing "delete" on one of "America's Most
         Wanted" wasn't enough for one lifetime -- ?

                  JESSICA
         It's been eight years since we fried Jason
         Voorhees!  Eight years!  What do we have
         to show for it?

                  STEVEN
         We got the autoshop --

                  JESSICA
         You seen our bank statements?

                  STEVEN
         The recession...you know it's temporary.
         We'll pull through --
      
                  JESSICA
         Yeah, and it's always around the next
         corner!  Steven, we're sinking into a
         bottomless pit!  I look at other families
         with 'lifestyles'...we don't even manage a
         life!  I spend most of my life under a
         car, up to my elbows in grease and swill!
         third-rate existence!

                  STEVEN
         What do you want me to say?  I'm all outta
         easy answers!

   The message pager on Steven's belt BEEPS annoyingly.  He thumbs it
   off, squints at the display.  Looks abashed at Jessica.

                  STEVEN (cont'd)
         It's...uh...a call-out --

   Jessica turns away.  Picks up the knife.  Chops mechanically at
   the vegetables like a Stepford wife.

                  JESSICA
         You should go.

                  STEVEN
               (conciliatory)
         Jess --

                  JESSICA
         No. Do it.  We can use the money.

   Steven leaves the kitchen uncertainly.  We HEAR him call out:

                  STEVEN
               (O.S.)
         Up for a ride, sweet thing?

                  STEPHANIE
               (O.S., excited)
         You bet!

                  JESSICA
               (calling after)
         Don't forget your --

   Jessica closes her eyes as the front door BANGS.  Heaves a SIGH,
   instant regret flooding her features.

   INT. ARRIVAL LOUNGE - DULLES INTERNATIONAL - NIGHT

   The terminal is packed with mostly-bored PASSENGERS, not even
   Bruce Willis and some hijackers to liven things up.

   Cobain sits on a passenger rotunda, an F.B.I. file open of his
   lap.  He YAWNS...goes to sip from his styrofoam cup.  A FAT
   BUSINESSMAN to his right turns the pages of his newspaper, catches
   Cobain's elbow.  A great coffee SPLOT stains his paperwork.  
   Cobain shoots him an evil look.

                  FAT BUSINESSMAN
         Sorry, pal.

   Cobain catches sight of the newspaper headline: "ASTRONOMERS
   BAFFLED OVER DISAPPEARING STARS."  Reaches down, wipes away the
   mess.  We see an attached "Front-and-Right" mugshot of a hatchet-
   faced guy (who we recognize from Reznor's surveillance shots)
   registered with an "Interpol, Surete" stamp.  From the corner of
   his eye, Cobain notices the OLD WOMAN to his left reading the

   An ANGLE low on the rain-speckled sidewalk.  A VAN'S TIRE enters
   FRAME.  The door opens; a boot drops into SHOT.

   INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN - NIGHT

   A dishevelled Reznor drops a cigarette butt in his empty styrofoam
   cup.  Opens his packet of Camels.  Empty.  Glances out the
   window...and does a double-take.  Sits up straight, instantly
   galvanized.  Snaps-off a few more photographs.

                  REZNOR
         What?  Little late-night browsing?

   HIS P.O.V., ACROSS THE ROAD.  A newly-arrived van stands outside
   the store as a RAINCOATED MAN fumbles an adjacent yard open.  
   Reznor watches as it proceeds inside.

                  REZNOR (cont'd)
         Bingo.  Pary-hearty time --

   He unholsters his pistol, thumb-catches the slide --

   EXT. YARD - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT.

   VERTICAL CRANE SHOT, looking down on the van as two FIGURES in
   raincoats manhandle a struggling hape encased in a black bodybag
   up through a fire-exit at the rear of the bookshop.

   EXT. YARD DOOR - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - ELM STREET - NIGHT

   Rain plastering his hair, Reznor sidles carefully up to the yard
   door, gun-in hand.  Glances nervously around, puts his face to a
   gap in the fence.  Peers through --

                  REZNOR
         Aw...shit!
   
   He pulls out his cellphone.  Flips it open --

   EXT TURRET - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Narrow lengthwise rectangular windows glow soft yellow against the
   silhouette of the oddly medieval turret atop the bookstore.  
   Lightning BURSTS throw it into sharp relief.  We HEAR the TOLLING
   of a CHURCH BELL on the SOUNDTRACK...

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   A LOW ANGLE, orbiting a strange inverted "lightning rod" suspended
   dead-center in the circular chamber.  Sculptured ceiling "ribs"
   curve outwards, forming cabalistic pillars lining the room.  The
   saffron glow from hundreds of candles highlights diabolic imagery
   on the walls as the storm FLASHES through the windows high above,
   MALEFIC CHANTING O.S.

   A wick is lit by one of several CLOAKED CULTISTS milling around
   the room.  An ANCIENT GRIMOIRE with a sculpted cover (the "EVIL
   DEAD" Necronomicon, seen in the Voorhees house in "JASON GOES TO
   HELL") rests open on a wooden podium.  The LEAD CULTIST traces
   arcane runes as he anoints the tooled silver blade of an AZTEC
   SACRIFICIAL MACHETE with oils.

                  LEAD CULTIST
         "Ro-Ta Derp...Suss-Ruv Nayala --"

   We TRACK LEFT as another Cultist totes a set of ominous iron limb-
   shackles.  Linger in PASSING the video-assist monitor of a mounted
   camcorder.  It glitches to life, reveals an INVERTED WOODEN
   CROSS...we CONTINUE and END on the real thing: 6ft long and tilted
   at 40 degree slant.

   A HIGH ROTATING ANGLE, away from the Cross to a symbol carved into
   the stone floor.  We recognize it instantly as the "Penticon" rune
   from our ITALIAN PROLOGUE.  We hear a GIRL'S SHRIEKING VOICE from
   somewhere just outside.

                  GOTH GIRL
               (O.S.)
         Get your goddamn paws off -- !

   EXT. YARD - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Reznor drops down from the fence top.  The ground on the yard-side
   is slushy - he loses his balance, skids awkwardly.  His cellphone
   falls into the mud.  He picks it up, shakes the dirt from it.  
   Crosses to the van, peers quickly inside.

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   FAST CUTS.  Chunky wrist clamps CLUNK into place.  A spirited but
   obviously-terrifed dark-haired GOTH GIRL SCREAMS crazily as two
   CULTISTS attempt to secure her legs to the top of the slanted
   cross, the others stand CHANTING in shadows surrounding the
   room...

                  CULTISTS
               (together)
         "Kandar...estrata...montos...eygrets --"

   The Lead Cultist - the same guy from Cobain's Interpol photographs
   - stands behind the Necronomicon podium.

                  LEAD CULTIST
         Lord of Gehanna...keeper of the Fallen
         Spirits of Darkness --

   The Girl lashes a long leg at one with the force of a Bruce Lee
   karate kick.  As Cultist #1 SLAMS back against a pillar, the cowl
   slips away to reveal a WOMAN PRIEST with a CLERICAL DOG-COLLAR
   beneath.

                  GOTH GIRL
         Crazy freako psycho bastards...let me go!

   Cultist #2 ENTERS SHOT wielding a HI-TECH STUN ROD.  Shoves it
   against her with a SHARP OZONE CRACK.  The Girl slumps back.

                  LEAD CULTIST
         By the Abramelin Mage, receive this lowly
         oblation as your own --

   Another restraint CLAMPS around the Girl's throat.  The CHANTING
   RISES in PITCH as her dress is RIPPED SAVAGELY AWAY, revealing the
   bare chest beneath.  The videocam monitor begins to GLITCH
   inexplicably --

   INT. YARD - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Reznor glances up.  The THUNDERCLOUDS above the store are SEETHING
   into    TURMOIL.  He tries the fire-exit.  Locked.

                  REZNOR
         Perfect --

   He pulls a Lockaid gun - a staplegun-like device - from his coat
   pocket.  Squeezes the trigger.  Thin protruding prongs WHIRR and
   vibrate.  He slides them into the keylock --

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   The CHANTING aproaches feer-pitch.  The Lead Cultist runs the
   Aztec Machete's tip lightly between the girl's breasts, drawing a
   bead of blood.  Raises the blade to shoulder height as she stirs
   slightly and MOANS.

                  LEAD CULTIST
               (rising to a shout)
         -- Hear these words of power!  Barter this
         flesh and invoke your Holy Guardian...
         "Nosferatus, Emontus...Thanos"--!

   WIDER NOW, ACROSS THE ROOM.  At the precise moment he drives the
   blade down, we CRAB QUICKLY LEFT to --

   THE GIRL'S FACE on the VIDEO MONITOR, HOWLING in EXTREME CLOSE-UP
   as the machee SLAMS home (mercifully OFFSCREEN).  The monitor
   picture starts to ROLL --

                              FAST CUT TO:

   INT. YARD - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   SNAP!  TIGHT ON Reznor's Lockaid gun as the twin prongs shear-off
   in the lock --

                  REZNOR
         Shit!  This never happens on T.V.!

   He stumbles back into the yard, takes a look around as LIGHTNING
   FLARES above --

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   The Girl's head slumps lifelessly back.  Blood swells along
   channels carved into the cross...weeps over the edge.  Trickles
   into --

   THE "PENTICON" BELOW.  Disturbingly, the fluid MOVES OF ITS OWN
   VOLITION...heading in assorted directions along the carved
   gullies.  The Cultists register surprise and trepidation as the
   droplets ACCELERATE and ACCELERATE and --

   TRANSFORM from matter into SEARING POINTS OF ENERGY that race
   about the unholy    symbol like a circuitboard ELECTRON DANCE.  A
   strange wind GUSTS through the place, GUTTERING the candle
   slightly.  The videocam monitor SNOWS erratically as questing
   tendrils of power SHOOT up from the circle, ARCING through the
   Girl's body and shrivelling her to a desiccated husk --

   EXT. FRONT OF STARE - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Reznor's head SNAPS UPWARDS as --

   EXT. TURRET - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   The heavens are RENT ASUNDER by a MIGHTY CRACK, a bolt of
   LIGHTNING SLASHING DOWN to COURSE through the vane atop the
   bookshop, and --

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   CRACKING DOWN from the inverted lightning conductor to the
   "Penticon" which    ERUPTS, coalescing into a RAGING ENERGY
   MAELSTROM.  All the candles BLOW OUT simultaneously --

   EXT. FRONT OF STORE - "SAMHIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   KER-BOOM!  The turret windows SHATTER, GOUTING EXHAUST SPUMES of
   ROLLING ORANGE FIRE.

   Reznor dives for cover as debris showers down --

                  REZNOR
         Holy fuck!

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   The ENERGY TORNADO is a WHIRLING VORTEX of RED-AND-GREEN LIGHT,
   oscillating slightly (perhaps subliminally giving the idea we
   might see Freddy Krueger).  The Cross has become energized, an
   INCANDESCENT GLOWING MASS...a BLAST WAVE hits it, BLOWING AWAY the
   Goth Girl's ashen remains.

   Cultist #3 on the periphery IGNITES, a human fireball. The Lead
   Cultist is    snagged by the vortex's power, the trim of his cowl
   catching fire.  Both his skull and right arm GLOW from within, an
   unearthly MOLTEN ORANGE --

   EXT. FRONT OF STORE - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Reznor rainses his pistol squarely at the storefront window.

                  REZNOR
         Screw "Reasonable Cause" --

   BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM!  A half-dozen rounds STAR and IMPLODE the
   glass...

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   A SHAPE forms within the tornado...a HUMANOID framework of veins
   suspended above the floor in a fetal ball, gaining solidity each
   moment --

   Mass panic.  Cultist #4 tries to bolt...an energy ribbon LASHES
   out and BURNS A HOLE THROUGH HIM.

   The jaw of the transfixed Lead Cultist opens a SILENT SCREAM in
   his WHITE-HOT SKULL --

   The Humanoid Shape is solid now, electrcal CRACKLES ZAPPING about
   it.  The vortex suddenly IMPLODES, and --

   A BURST of LIGHT tosses the Lead Cultist ferociously backwards,
   his face sheared away and cauterized.  The Aztec machete spins up
   into the air, as --

   The remainder of the vortex EXPLODES and dissipates, as--

   The videocam monitor ROLLS BACK towards normality, and --

   A FAST CUT as CHUNKY CONSTRUCTION BOOTS with black crome shin-
   guards SLAM DOWN onto the reformed "Penticon", as --

   The machete pirouttes down, and --

   A HAND sporting fingerless open-backed biker-gloves WHIPS OUT from
   nowhere, ENORMOUS FINGERS curling around the grip then --

   WHOOSH!  The blade immediately CLEAVES through the air towards --

   THE THROAT OF CULTIST #5, who looses a SCREAM --

   Which is interrupted as he's DECAPITATED in a FAST VIDEO MONITOR
   INSERT.  We get a speedy SCAN-LINED glimpse of JASON VOORHEES'
   KILLING MASK POWERING across the FRAME --

   BUT LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.  Still a HOCKEY GOALIE, but now
   DARK CHROME with ANGULAR FACETS.  Terrifying - a regular SLASHER
   DARTH VADER.

   INT. WINDOW DISPLAY - "SAMHAIN" BOOKSHOP - NIGHT

   Reznor knocks-in some dangerous glass shards, inadvertently
   toppling a skeleton window display.  He clambers over the frame
   and into the store, his shoe coming down to crush the delicate
   plastic skull --

   INT. SACRIFICIAL CHAMBER - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Cultist #6 SHRIEKS in terror as Jason's foot SLAMS down MULCHING
   his head to puree.  Jason's head SNAPS AROUND as --

   Cultist #7 is there with a BATTLE CRY, wielding a sacrifiecial
   dagger --

                  CULTIST #7
         Morituri Abominati -- !

   THUNK! The dagger sinks up to the hilt in Jason's torso.  Jason
   glances calmly down...a moment's hesitation...the man
   freezes...then Jason impales him cleanly with his machete.

   Jason pitches back with the dagger protruding as Cultist #1
   catches him unawares, garroting him with the sacrificial restraint
   chains.  Jason relinquishes his grip on the machete, and Cultist
   #7 reels towards a pillar, GURGLING --

   Jason staggers blindly, knocking the videocam tripod over.  Rain
   SPATTERING    the dark crome mask through the breached roof above,
   he CLAWS ineffectively at the chains as CULTIST #1 uses her
   mass to lever him back, and --

   Cultist #2 CHARGES Jason from the front with the CRACKLING STUN-
   ROD.  Cultist #1 SHRIEKS out in pain as the conductive charge ZAPS
   through Jason's body and along the chains.  As Cultist #2 TWISTS
   the tip deeper into Jason's stomach, Jason SLAMS the woman back
   against a stone pillar, CRUSHING her.  He simultaheously SEIZES
   the man's shoulders and --

   YANKS HIM BODILY FORWARD, the Stun-Rod SPEARING Cultist #2's chest
   and passing cleanly through him.  Cultist #2's SCREAMING face is a
   matter of inches from the chrome faceplate as --

   Jason PLANTS a FEROCIOUS HEAD-BUTT on him, then TOSSES him aside
   like a ragdoll. As Cultist #1 sinks down behind him, Jason
   extracts the sacrificial dagger from is ribcage and tosses it to
   the ground.  Turns to Cultist #7 - alive and WHIMPERING against
   another pillar with the machete protruding and stalks murderously
   towards him --

   INT. STAIRWELL - "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT

   Reznor takes the landing stairwell two stairs at a time.  Down
   below, we can see the orderly shelves that make up the small-but-
   cluttered store.  As he reaches top --

   KER-SMASH!  Reznor flinches, half-ducks as the door leading to the
   turret ahead SPLINTERS WIDE APART, Cultist #7's corpse WHOOSING
   throught he air.  It CRACKS THROUGH the bannisters, PLUMMETS down
   into the store.  BOUNCING OFF a bookshelf adn coming to rest
   below.  Reznor gapes.

                  REZNOR
         Jesus!

   A DARK SILHOUETTE steps forward from the shadows.  Reznor raises
   him pistol, Weaver-stance.

                  REZNOR
         F.B.I. ...right where you are, twinkletoes!

   Reznor gets a good look as LIGHTNING reflects fromt he chrome
   killing mask through the skylight immediately above.  The jet-
   black boiler-suit...the dark liquid trickling along the Aztec
   machete's rune-carved blade.

                  REZNOR (cont'd)
         Drop the toothpick, buddy!

   Jason ignores him, strides malevolently forward.  Reznor CLICKS
   his pistol's safety catch --

                  REZNOR (cont'd)
         One warning only...do it!

   Jason raises the blade threateningly...and Reznor lets him have
   it, SHOT-AFTER-SHOT.  Jason LURCHES each time the bullets him
   home...Reznor's eyes bug at the lack of effect.  The machete
   SWISHES down, burying itself in the broken bannister-rail.  Reznor
   feints to the right, avoids the swing by millimeters ...loses his
   footing on the ledge--

   AND SLIPS, tumbling down into the store.  Conveniently, the prone
   corpse of Cultist #7 cushions Reznor's fall...but his head BANGS
   against something, KNOCKING him out cold.

   WE FINISH TIGHT ON REZNOR'S HEAD.  Chromed construction boots
   STOMP past on their way out into the night...

   EXT. "SAMHAIN BOOKS" - NIGHT (AERIAL MATTE SHOT)

   TIGHT ON the videocam monitor showing a SKEWED ANGLE of a
   Cultist's face, staring sightlessly.  PULL BACK to reveal --

   A GOD'S EYE ANGLE looking 270 degrees VETICALLY DAWN at the
   bookstore.  The shattered turret is in IMMEDIATE FOREGROUND,
   pockets of GUTTERING FLAME in the rafters here-and-there.  Through
   the rent in the roof, we see part of the "Penticon" and various
   SCATTERED CULTISTS' BODIES.

   Approaching POLICE SIRENS RISE in VOLUME, O.S.  Far below, we note
   TINY FIGURE of Jason Voorhees casting a huge shadow as it stalks
   purposefully away into    the darkness...
   
                                   CUT TO:

   EXT. BLACKTOP ROADSIDE - BETHLEHEM - NIGHT (CRANE SHOT)

   Rain is coming down in sheets, still.  A breakdown truck with
   "Voorhees 24 Hour Motors" markings is pulled at the roadside.  A
   GUY in overalls and an all-weather jacket has his head under the
   open hood of Alice's Lexus, just up-front.

   INT. ALICE'S CAR - NIGHT

   Alice watches as the guy drops the hood, SPLASHES around to the
   driver's side.  She thumbs a control.  The window WHIRRS down, and
   we see Steven Freeman's face.

                  ALICE
         So, what do I owe you?

                  STEVEN
               (shakes his head)
         I wish it were that simple...

                  ALICE
         What is it?

                  STEVEN
         Well.  Contacts're fine.  Battery's got a
         charge, so it's not electrical.  Oil's
         good...something with the gas mix, maybe?
         Might even be in the engine...

                  ALICE
         Oh, God --

                  STEVEN
         I can put it through the shop overnight.
         You could drop-by tomorrow...

   Alice shoots a worried look at Jacob, asleep in the back seat.

                  ALICE
         No.  I'm not...well, we don't live around
         here.  We were driving back, to Ohio --

   Steven scratches his head.  Thinks.

                  STEVEN
         Well, then you certainly have a problem.
         I could maybe give you guys a ride?  Some
         reasonable motels, just down off the
         blacktop --

                  ALICE
         This time of the year?  This year?

                  STEVEN
         Ah, I know some people.
               (grins)
         Friends in low places.  Y'know?

                  ALICE
         Thanks.  Whatever.  Anything I can get
         has to be better than sleepin here, I
         guess --

                                   CUT TO:

   INT. ARRIVAL LOUNGE - DULLES INTERNATIONAL - NIGHT

   CLOSE ON the second hand of Cobain's wristwatch, the TICKING
   incredibly loud.

   WIDER NOW.  Cobain's still sitting on the rotunda.  His eyes are
   heavy, head drooping.  He catches himself.  Repeats this
   once...twice.  The TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT SLURS and FADES-OUT O.S.,
   and --

   HE WAKES BACK TO CONCIOUSNESS, suddenly fully refreshed.  His gaze
   comes up, not really focussing on anything --

   HIS P.O.V., looking around.  Flurries of people hurrying to their
   destination.  Subtly SPEEDING-UP and BLURRING into one. (We HEAR
   the TANNOY O.S. in QUICK GARBLED SPURTS.)  A GAP appears in the
   crowd --

   To reveal a WOMAN in a NUN'S HABIT.  We recognize her as AMANDA
   KRUEGER, Freddy's deceased mother.  She does a quarter-
   turn...stares directly at Cobain.

   Cobain frown.  Straightens.  Hears a GREAT ECHOING MECHANICAL
   "CLANK."  Looks up to see --

   -- THE AIRPORT WALL-CLOCK GO BACKWARDS from "12:40" to "12:39".  
   He glimpses down at his wristwatch.  The second hand is running
   backwards, too...

   Cobain returns her gaze, finds himself standin inside --

   INT. "CHURCH VOID" (DREAM SEQUENCE)

   AN AREA OF LIGHT, bounded by impenetrable shadow.  The stone floor
   scattered with autumnal leaves, a dais ahead.  Standing on it
   before a VERTICAL STAINED GLASS WINDOW is Amanda, WHITE DOVES
   fluttering about her.  The GIANT CENSERS We saw in the ITALIAN
   PROLOBUE WHOOSH BACK-AND-FORTH between her and Cobain, preventing
   him getting any closer.

   She locks her gaze to him.  He glances nervously left-and-right
   into the shadows before returning it.

                  AMANDA KRUEGER
               (resonant echo)
         The time of Darkness falls upon you all...
         you must choose the True Path...ahhhh --!

   She convulses, doubling over.  Hands clutching at her chest.  FOUR
   GREAT BLOODY RIPS stain her robe's white frontispiece:  FREEDDY
   CLAW MARKS.  Cobain makes to move forward --

   AND AMANDA'S HEAD SNAPS UP, hideously transformed into a SKELETAL
   DEATH MASK. Before Cobain can react, Amanda EVAPORATES into a
   SPECTRAL WRAITH and DISSAPEARS.

   A WEIRD EXAGGERATED CLACK-CLACK NOISE O.S. --

   INT. ARRIVAL LOUNGE - DULLES INTERNATIONAL - NIGHT

   Jerks Cobain back to reality.  It was a dream...a weird nightmare.  
   A GROUP of    BLACK YOUTHS are standing of to one side,
   incongruously playing a "NIN" song    LOUDLY on their boom-box.  
   Cobain looks up as the status of all the flights on the arrivals
   board NOISILY changes to "DELAYED" --

                                   CUT TO:

   EXT. AIRSPACE - NIGHT

   Lightning ERUPTS around a DC10, battered by storm clouds.

   INT. CLUB CLASS COMPARTMEN - DC10 - NIGHT

   Nervous PASSENGERS are shaken about in the half-full compartment,
   many vomiting into bags.  THe internal lights GLICKER wildly.

   Halfway-back sits PONTIFF MANFREDINI.  50s, plump and
   mustachioed...anxiously clutching a black leather briefcase to his
   chest.  He fumbles awkwardly at the cap of a pill bottle as --

   A GREAT BLAST OF TURBULENCE sends it SPINNING from his grip.  It
   HITS    deck...BURSTS open, spilling tablets.  Rolls down the aisle.  
   A STEWARDESS stops its progress, smiles at Manfredini as she
   swiftly replaces the pills.

                  STEWARDESS
         Having a little trouble there, Pontiff?

   Manfredini grimaces apologetically.  Speaks in a broken Italian
   accent.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         I'm...sorry.  I do not...travel well.

                  STEWARDESS
         Just like a good wine, huh?

   His attempt at a smile fades with another JOLT of TURBULENCE.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         The, uh...."Cabinetti"...bathroom?

   She turns, looks back down the aisle.  The illuminated sign
   changes to "OCCUPIED" as an AILING PASSENGER lurches inside.

                  STEWARDESS
         Heavy traffic...look, there's another
         cubicle back that way, if you're chewing
         your knuckles --

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
               (rising)
         Si...yes.  Thank you --

   INT. PASSAGEWAY - DC10 - NIGHT

   Manfredini is rocked against a wall as the plane is buffeted.

   INT. TOILET - DC10 - NIGHT

   Manfredini enters the cubicle.  Closes the door behind him and
   TURNS --

   To find himself in a CHURCH CONFESSIONAL BOX.  The latch SCHNICKS
   into place    of its own volition.  Manfredini recoils, sits down
   heavily.  The walls are panelled wood...startles as SICKLY GREEN
   LIGHT BLASTS through the latticework separator.

                  DARK VOICE
               (O.S., deep and resonant)
         Father...it's five billi8on years since my
         last confession --

   Manfredini looks around in panic as the walls compress quickly
   inward, and --

   THE FLOOR DROPS AWAY!  He pitches forward, palms pressing aginst
   the walls as MALEVOLENT LAUGHTER echoes.  Flames LICK up from a
   BOTTOMLESS PIT, SEARING at his legs like a flamethrower as --

   The RED-AND-GREEN PEW - his only leverage - TILTS away beneath
   him!  He falls awkwardly, SCREAMING --

   INT. PASSAGEWAY - DC10 - NIGHT

   AND ROCKETS BACK THROUGH THE TOILET DOOR, SLAMMING HARD against
   the passageway wall.  He slumps, staring at the swaying door for a
   moment...listening to the CREAKY HINGES.

   His head JERKS AROUND at a FAINT SOUND further down the
   compartment.  A CHILDREN'S NURSERY RHYME.  HE HEARS an OILY SQUEAK
   some way down the rear of the plane.  Stares 50 feet back to
   see --   

   A 5 year-old GIRL in a white dress cycles into the aisleway on a
   three-wheeled trike.  Looks directly at Manfredini.  GIGGLES
   mischievously.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         Hey...hey!

                  GIRL ON PLANE
               (singsong)
         "One, Two...Freddy's coming for you --"

   She turns the trike's wheel and cycles rapidly off.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         No...wait -- !

   As Manfredini makes to follow, we notice the SHADOW of FOUR GIANT
   CLAWS moving on the wall behind him --

   INT. 2ND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - DC10 - NIGHT

   Manfredini enters the next compartment...stops in horror.  Crosses
   himself.  The occupied seats contain FRAZZLED SKELETAL PASSENGERS,
   their clothes and bones STEAMING SLIGHTLY.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         God have mercy --

                  GIRL ON PLANE
               (O.S., singsong)
         "Three, Four...better lock your door --"

   Manfredini summons up his resolve.  As he hurries towards the
   source of the sound --

   ANOTHER ANGLE, behind Manfredini.  MASSIVE LEGS ENTER OVER CAMERA,
   gunfighter style.  FOUR ENORMOUS BLADES idle into FRAME.
   Intricately etched - but shot-through with rust and corrosive
   pitting - the tarnished chrome catches the light...

   INT. 3RD PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - DC10 - NIGHT

   Manfredini's face registers bewilderment as he enters this
   compartment.  The seats have changed into WOODEN PEWS, each of the
   window portals a small square of stained glass, autumnal leaves
   gusting around.  The trike lies overturned on the floor, a spoked
   rear wheel still spinning.  As the Pontiff crouches to halt it --

   A SPORADIC STROBE-FLASH from the front of the aircraft backlights
   a HULKING FIGURE someway behind him.  An ENORMOUS TORSO, filling
   the passageway and then some...24 INCH SCIMITAR-LIKE CLAWS curving
   down from its right hand.

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
               (unawares)
         Where are you?

   Manfredini STARTLES as the INFLIGHT MOVIE PROJECTOR starts up.
   (Conveniently, SCENE 67 of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare.")

                  JACOB
               (O.S.)
         You shouldn't be here --!

   Manfredini looks around.  Sees Jacob standing accross the aisle,
   looking at him with puzzlement.

                  HEATHER LANGENKAMP
               (O.S., on screen)
         "What's that?"

                  PONTIFF MANFREDINI
         How...where is this place?  The girl...?

Würde ich so jetzt nicht sagen. Wenn du mit "kaas" Käse meinst,  :)  Jason und Freddy sind eigenständige Horror-Helden, warum sollte ein Film mit beiden zusammen dann ein Flop werden ?

Die eigentliche Idee ist zwar etwas merkwürdig, daß beide nun gegeneinander antreten aber was solls, man hat ja schon einiges erlebt  ;)

Freu mich auch riesig auf den Film,der kann nur gut werden.Es ist übrigens bekannt,dass die Teenager den Kampf zwischen den beiden organisieren,glaube aber nicht das der so brutal werden wird und acu hdas der im Kino laufen wird.
Jason X fand ich auch geil,nur Freddy hat meiner Meinung nach etwas abgebaut,aber das kann sich ja wieder ändern,aber ab 18 wird er ja hoffentlich sein...

Freu mich auch schon. Der wird 100% ab 18 sein, allein schon wegen den Hauptdarstellern, die schon ne Indizierung wert ist.

Wäre doch eigentlich die logischste und auch einzig richtige Lösung.
In Friday XI siegt Jason, sonst wäre die Serie ja zu Ende. Und ebenso würde Freddy in Nightmare VIII gewinnen.

Ohne miesepetrig zu sein: Ich glaub', der Film wird Scheiße! (schon Jason IX hat mir nicht gefallen. Die Story war aus THE HIDDEN frech abgekupfert. Die Idee mit dem Dolch wird in Freddy vs. Jason wieder aufgegriffen und mit der Geschichte um den Traumdämon "Freddy", der schon in der Vergangenheit Kinder in ihren Träumen meuchelte zusammengeführt. Ich dachte, Freddy wäre der rachsüchtige Geist des Typen, den die Eltern der Elm Street abgefackelt haben. Jedenfalls wird da irgendeine Scheiß-Story zusammengebastelt, damit man um jeden Preis (der Logik) die beiden in einem Film zusammenführt. Das bringt mehr Publikum = mehr Kohle. Auf Blut wird wahrscheinlich auch verzichtet, um eine lohnendere Altersfreigabe zu bekommen. Ich befürchte Übelstes bei diesem Streifen...)

(¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Update -.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)


Robert Englund hat ein wenig ueber den kommenden Film "Freddy vs. Jason" geplaudert. "Cinescape" sagte er, dass "Jason" "Freddy" im Film "auseinander nehmen" werde - doch "Freddy" werde wieder "zurueckwachsen". Ueberhaupt werde "Freddy" sehr boese in diesem Film sein, auch sein Look werde ganz anders sein, als in den bisherigen Filmen.

Naja bin dann mal gespannt

Beitrag von: Masterboy am 28. März 2003, 08:34:10
hmm, grundsätzlich finde ich Freddy cooler - er soll gewinnen ;-)

Hoffe nur das sich das neue Outfit nicht als Blamage rausstellt, warum muß es eigentlich immer was neues sein ? Freddy ist cool wie er ist - mit Hut und Streifenpullover - basta !

Beitrag von: Phreek am 28. März 2003, 13:09:44
theoretisch sollte auch freddy gewinnen. Ich meine es ist doch nicht wirklich und Jason aus fleisch und blut (irgendwie).

Es läuft aber alles darauf hinaus das wieder beide verlieren. Sie treffen beide auf ihren stärksten konkurent (weiß die namen nun nicht) die sie schonma gekilt haben, insofern denke ich das sie es wieder tun werden. oda das sich die beiden gegenseitig umbringen.

Bin da ganz anderer Meinung,Freddy mag ich überhaupt nicht,war von Anfang an für Jason und habe gehofft das er gewinnt (und das tut er auch am Ende des Films) ;)

Freddy Vs. Jason gehört neben Texas Chainsaw Massacre und The hills have eyes zu meinen absoluten Lieblingshorrorfilmen :-P
