EXPECTANT MUSIC EERIE WIND BLOWS, RUMBLING My children. From the very beginning, it was the children who gave me my power. The Springwood Slasher ` that's what they called me. (Breathes rapidly) METALLIC RINGING (Girl screams) My reign of terror was legendary. Dozens of children would fall by my blades. (Chuckles) Then the parents of Springwood came for me,... GLASS SMASHES ...taking justice into their own hands. When I was alive, I might have been a little naughty. But after they killed me, I became something much, much worse ` the stuff nightmares are made of. The children still feared me. And their fear gave me the power to invade their dreams. And that's when the fun REALLY began! (Screams) Until they figured out a way to forget about me, to erase me completely. Being dead wasn't a problem. (Shouting) But being forgotten - now, that's a bitch! (Yells) (Yells) It's only a dream! Die, motherfucker! I can't come back if nobody remembers me! I can't come back if nobody's afraid! (Growling) I had to search the bowels of hell, but I found someone. Someone who'll make 'em remember. He may get the blood, but I'll get the glory. And that fear is my ticket home. ( EERIE WHOOSH ) Mike?! Is that you? (Giggles) Alright, fuck you then. I'm heading in. ( EERIE RATTLING ) Mike? Come on, it's not funny anymore.

WOMAN: Jason. I should have been watching them. Not drinking. Not meeting a boy at the lake. I deserved to be punished. We all deserved to be punished. WOMAN: Jason. My special, special boy. Do you know what your gift is? No matter what they do to you, you cannot die. You can never die. You've just been sleeping, honey. But now the time has come to wake up. Mommy has something she wants you to do! I need you to go to Elm Street. The children have been very bad on Elm Street. Rise up, Jason! Your work isn't finished. Hear my voice and live again! ( HEARTBEAT PULSES, CRACKLING ) Make them remember me, Jason. Make them remember what fear tastes like! (Chuckles) I've been away from my children for far too long. (Laughs evilly) ( HEAVY ROCK MUSIC ) SONG: # I don't ever wanna be the one to make you forget # I don't ever wanna be the one to make you resent it # I don't ever want to be, ever want to be... # ( AMBULANCE SIREN WAILS, EERIE WHISPERED LAUGHTER ) ( THUNDER CRASHES ) Marry, fuck or kill.

Either one, I'd kill him. OK, who would you fuck, then? This is stupid, y'all. Oh, come on, come on! God! Whatever! Look, I fuck the bald guy and I marry Larry. Jesus! Is this what we're doing all night? Because y'all, this is really stank. Hey! Gibb, what are you doing? I thought you were going to quit. I only smoke when I drink now. KIA: But you're always drinking. Well, I'll work on that next. Hey, OK, I got another one. Fred, Scooby or Shaggy. (Disgusted) Oh! Uh, I'm not answering that. Neither is she. (Giggles) Do you guys think I should get a nose job? Oh, my God! Oh, please. Kia, what you need is a lobotomy. ( ELECTRICAL FIZZING ) I'm going to get some candles. I'm going to get some beer. Do you guys want anything? ( DRAMATIC FLOURISH ) Are you sure you should be driving? I'm so under the limit, Lori. Surprise! Oh, Trey, you answered my prayers. Thank you. Whoa, babe! What'd I tell you about kissing me after you've smoked? Lighten up. They're menthols. Hey, uh, I brought Blake. Where's Linda? It's Lori. This is her house, so don't be a total cocksmith. Whatever. BLAKE: Where are the ladies? Relax. They'll be here. I'm relaxed, man. I'm just wet. It sucks. Did you know they were coming over? Listen, you got to be quiet. We knew you were going to be all alone this weekend, so... (Sighs) I mean, Blake's cute. (Whispers) He's not my type. Oh, who IS? No-one's ever gonna live up to the fuzzy memory of your first love, Lori. You were fucking 14, so get over it. I know we were young, but what Will and I had was real. Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Mr Real just dropkick your ass without so much as a goodbye handshake? He ever even call or maybe even write to you after he moved? Send you an email? No. You see my point? It's time to leave the convent, Lori. You need to meet a guy. (Sighs) Ergh! ( THUNDER BOOMS ) ( CRUISY SONG PLAYS ON RADIO IN BACKGROUND ) (Both kiss) Hey, Lori. I, uh, I like the... flow of your place. Got good...feng shui. (Whispers) Yeah. (Groans) You know about feng shui? Oh. Oh! Oh, you should see her bedroom. Great flow in there. Lori! Why don't you go upstairs and show Blake your feng shui? Shut up! ( EERIE BOOMING ) I've got a kink in my neck. Come on. Come and sort it out for me. I think I need a few more drinks before there'll be any massaging. What do you see in him? I don't know. But he has a cute ass. Babe! Don't make me ask you twice, OK? ( DISTORTED MUSIC ) ( THUNDER BOOMS ) So. Lori. Am I going to get that grand tour or what? Yeah. You know, why don't you start in the kitchen and get us some beers? Cool. My God, Kia, he is a total idiot. Get him out of here. Oh, Lori, come on. Give him a chance. I don't like him. You know what? You don't like anybody. I mean, you've barely gone out since... Since what? Since Mom died? Well, you know what? Dad needs me. I can't go out with guys all the time. And if I did, it wouldn't be somebody like Blake.

We need to lock this down now. Keep it contained. You hear me? Killed in bed?! Jesus! (Sighs) It's even the same damn house. 1428 Elm. It's got to be him. Right? It's got to be Freddy Krueger. Hey! Don't say that sonofabitch's name out loud. Let's just keep it together. We've been through too much to let this thing spread now. Take all these kids down to the station. Keep them separate. Do it now. Yes, sir. We'll be in touch. Thank you. Let's go. (Sighs) So? She doesn't know anything. None of them do. I'm pretty sure we're good. Pretty sure?! Make DAMN sure none of those kids knows anything. Or I'll send your ass up to Westin Hills with them! Knows what? What do you mean? Good work there tonight, Stubbs. Right place, right time. But we'll take it from here, all right? MYSTERIOUS MUSIC Your father's on his way. Do they know who did this? No, not yet. But I thought I heard one of the officers mention a name. To tell you the truth, Lori, I just moved here about a month ago. If they have a suspect, I'd know. But they asked me weird questions, like about my dreams... ( KNOCKING ON GLASS ) (Gasps) (Sighs) (Whispers) What was the name? (Sighs) What was the name? ( TENSE MUSIC ) Freddy! ( SOBBING ) (Calls out) Hello?

TV REPORTER: After tonight's murder in this neighbourhood of Springwood, the Sheriff's Department has confirmed that there is one victim. Details on... Hey, turn that up, man. ..remain sketchy, but the Sheriff... Sorry, Will. You know the rules. Turn that back on! I know somebody that lives in that house. Come on! Turn it back on, man! I never ask for anything. Just turn on the fucking TV, please! (Groans) Fuck you, man! What the fuck is your problem? What are you doing, man? Want 10ccs of the pink tranquilliser in your ass? That was Lori's house. They said something about a murder. I got to go there. I got to see if she's OK. Back to Springwood? Want me to start having nightmares again? Don't start with that dream-demon shit again, OK? You know that's all just in your head. Yeah. Who are you? The poster boy for sanity? You're the one that told the cops Lori's dad killed his wife. And it looks like someone else got killed in the same house. You think that's a coincidence?! Two murders in one house? Kurt. How many times do I have to tell you, man? I don't do checkers. I'm a Uno guy, all right? So go grab the fucking Uno deck and we'll play, OK? Please. Thank you. Look at us, Will. Look around you, man. We're institutionalised. SOFT MUZAK PLAYS We're stuck here. We're not going anywhere. RAIN FALLS STEADILY MYSTERIOUS MUSIC I do miss my family, man. I mean, it's been... four years since I've seen them, you know. All these years, and you're still convinced you saw her father do that? I know what I saw, Mark. Fuck what the doctors tried to get me to believe. I need to know if she's OK. (Screeches, imitates monkey, farts) (Screeches, hoots) You wanna play? (Screeches) SHOES SQUEAL (Mutters) Sweet dreams, monkey boy. What the hell was that for, man? (Sniggers) You're a fucking lunatic, you know that? I know you are, but what am I? MYSTERIOUS MUSIC Are you sure you didn't see anyone? No, Dad. None of us did. I already went over this with the police. It's just... I don't know what I'd do without you. You're all I have left. Dad, I'm not going anywhere. I promise. Look at you. (Echoes) You're exhausted. We need to get you to bed. No. Um... I don't want to sleep, Dad. I just want to see my friends. I don't think it's a good idea to go to school today. You've been through a very traumatic experience. Dad, please. I just need to get out of the house, OK? I'll be fine. I promise. Well, at least drink your juice. Will Rollins and Davis escaped from Westin Hills last night. Oh, Jesus. It's all coming apart again. Don't worry. We'll find them. Keep this thing contained. ( SOMBRE MUSIC ) KIA: Lori! Oh, my God! God! You guys, I'm so glad you're here. Blake's dead too. What? Yeah, he... He was stabbed to death, late last night, um... Same with his dad. What? (Mutters) Shit! Shit! This is bullshit! The police are blaming everything on Blake like it's a Columbine thing or something. They're saying he went crazy - killed Trey, killed his dad, then took his own life. This is so fucking messed up. This is messed up! ( BELL RINGS ) Ah, Lori. What is it, Linderman? Well, I heard what happened and I just want to express how, um... ..to tell you how sorry I was. Thank you. That's sweet. Right, you know, actually, if you need anybody to talk to... Whoa! Linderman, let me give you a tip. Place your hormones back in the box and quit while you're ahead, OK? We don't have time for 'date a dork' now. Thanks. Right. Uh, sorry. I swear, every day it's the same thing. He's like a fucking froufrou dog that keeps humping your leg. BOY: Give a couple to some ladies, alright. Gibb, that's why you should go - be amongst friends where it's safe. There's gonna be a whole lotta love for you and my boy Trey. Yeah, you're right. I should go. I could use a few dozen drinks. Attagirl, let your freak flag fly. See you there. GIBB: Do you wanna go? No, I don't think so. I-I didn't get much sleep last night. And when I did sleep, I had the most terrible nightmares. Lori, you slept at a police station. I'd have nightmares too. No, no, no. It wasn't like that. This was really real. I mean, there was this man, but he was more like a monster really. And they called him Freddy. He was so real. Shh! What did he look like? He had this...dark-brown hat. And his skin was terribly burnt. And on his right hand he had, like, these razor fingers. KIA: You must be tripping. No. No. And there was these little girls... It was a bad dream. They're singing this song like... (Sings) # One, two Freddy's coming for you. # You know why they sing that? Because that's when he comes for you. In your dreams. You're lucky to be alive. Who is he? He's a child murderer that some parents from around here burned alive. Then he came back. KIA: Oh, shit. Back for revenge... in our nightmares. Funny no-one ever told us about it. OK, thank you! No! Want some free advice? Coffee. Make friends with it. WILL: Mark! That's enough! You're scaring her. Will. I... I thought you might be in trouble. So, we... Lori! Oh, my God! Lori! Honey, wake up! Someone get help! Please, somebody get me some... Someone get help! Will, it's the principal! Will, let's go! Let's go! Please, somebody help her. Lori? How much longer is it gonna take? Is she OK or what? Shhh! ( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ) ( CHILLING FLOURISH ) ( MYSTERIOUS MUSIC ) For nose jobs, what kind of anaesthesia do the doctors use? They put you all the way under, right? Oh, God! (Playfully) Got your nose! (Screams) Strong work, man. I came to see she's OK and you put her in the infirmary. What we're you thinking about, telling her all that stuff, man? We're not in group. I'm thinking, for the first time in my life, maybe I'm not crazy. That my brother wasn't crazy. She had the same dream, Will. MAN: Will Rollins. Mark Davis. ( BELL RINGS ) MARK: This doesn't make any sense. There's nothing on Krueger. Not his arrest, his death, not even a birth certificate. Whole sections of the records are gone. Look at all these blacked-out obituaries. ( MYSTERIOUS MUSIC ) January 18. That's the day my brother committed suicide. Why isn't that in here? I don't know! But I'm sure there's a good reason. I mean, remember in group when they told us not to jump to conclusions? Listen to yourself - you're holding onto that psychobabble bullshit like it's some kind of security blanket, man. Let it go. They've covered him up, Will. They never told us about Freddy because that's how they decided to beat him. They treated him like he was a fucking disease. They locked up the kids who'd made contact with him so they wouldn't infect the others. That's crazy. Is it? How come we were never allowed to call any of our friends, man? How come none of our friends ever called us? We were in a fucking quarantine, man. That's what Westin Hills was for. WILL: Even if all you're saying is true, then why didn't Freddy kill Lori? Maybe he's not strong enough yet. My brother said it's our fear that gives him his power. Well, you sure as hell spread enough fear today at school. Holy shit. ( OMINOUS MUSIC ) You're right. They wanted to forget Freddy so they wouldn't fear him. That's... What if I screwed up the town's plan? No. Fuck! This fucker's gonna spread like the plague, man! Kids are gonna start falling asleep! It's gonna... Let's leave, man. Let's leave right now! I can't leave! Why not? I've got to see if Lori is OK. Is she worth dying for? Cos if you fall asleep, you ain't waking up. If that's true, how come you're not dead? Or any of the freaks at Westin? When did you last have a nightmare? I don't know. I can't remember my dreams any more. Look, just give me one night, OK? Just let me find Lori, and then we're out of here. I swear. All right. If your ass isn't back here by dawn, I'm gone. We clear on that? This baby's my brother's pride and joy, so be careful. TECHNO MUSIC Oh shit. Linderman. Uh, Shack, um, I don't drink. (Laughs) CHILLING MUSIC EERIE WHISPERED LAUGHTER TECHNO MUSIC Hi, Lori. I didn't think I'd see you here. Can I get you something to drink? Smooth opening, but, you know, we're already taken care of. What happened to your clothes? Oh, this. I was playing a drinking game with some of the lower primates. I guess I'm penalised for my ability to read above a fourth-grade level. Linderman, I always pictured you as a straight-up bed-wetter. You know what, Kia? I thought you hated me because you thought I wasn't good enough for Lori. But you tear me down to make yourself feel better, because you really hate yourself. Which is pathetic when you think about it ` assuming you can think with all that make-up weighing down your head. The cops said Blake committed suicide. Apparently it was grief over Trey. That's bullshit. Some guy, Krueger, killed them both. Said his name to my parents ` they almost shit themselves. I heard that Freddy freak used to live here. Fucking gutted Trey like a godamned turkey, man. I heard his intestines and shit were on the floor. Oh shit! I'm sorry. Oh my God. Look who's here. Look who's here. What are you looking at? Come on. Come on. Let's dance. Come on, Linderman. Let's go. Where have you been, Will? Didn't you get my letters? What letters? They must've never even mailed them. Who? The doctors at Westin Hills. I've been in a psychiatric hospital. Mark was with me there and some other kids too. I don't understand. I saw the news the other night and that kid that was killed at your house. I needed to know that you were safe. What happened? I don't know. I don't know. Nobody knows. Nobody saw what happened. The police have been acting really weird like they know something... I heard them mention some name, some... ..Freddy...Freddy Krueger. Where was your dad? Out of town. Are you sure? What is going on, Will? Look, four years ago, I thought I... KIA: Enough with this bullshit talk. Let's go shake our ass to the dancefloor. Come on. ( LIVELY DANCE MUSIC ) ( CHILLING MUSIC ) I'm dead one day and you're already out getting shit-faced?

No. There's more to it than that. Look, I tried to tell you this earlier. The reason I was sent to Westin is because I saw your dad kill your mom. Will, my mom died in a car accident. No, that's what he wanted you to believe but I was there, Lori. I was sneaking up to your room like I used to do. Only you weren't there. ( THUNDER CRACKS ) (Woman groans) I saw him kill her.

You were confused. LORI: Stop it! Both of you! Stop it! Damn it, Will! I'm won't let you endanger my daughter again. (Screams) Stop it! Not after everything that's happened. Stop it! Stop it! Fuck! (Coughs and chokes) Lori! Lori! ( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ) Lori! Lori! I...I... Did Mom die in a car accident? Yes. Of course she did. Prove it. ( THUNDER CRACKS ) Show me a death certificate.

I thought you were a general practitioner. Yes, it... I do some consulting there now. But it... It isn't what you think. Oh, my God. So you knew about Will this whole time? Lori, listen to me. You're upset. We both are. You know, I think what you need now more than anything is to get some rest. Why don't I give you some pills and that'll help you sleep? Then we'll talk about it in the morning. I don't want to sleep, Dad. I want to know why you lied to me. We'll talk about it in the morning. Now do what I say! Lori! Lori! Open this door! Open this door! (Screams) Go away! Damn it! Lori, let me in. Lori! ( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ) Goddamn it! (Breathes laboriously) Lori! (Screams) It's OK. It's me. It's me. Shh! Shh! Shh! Are you OK? It's just me. It's me, OK. WILL: I don't know how your father's connected to all this, but I think Mark was right. There's some kind of cover-up going on here with Krueger. We can't trust the police. We can't trust any of the adults. So, what do we do? We gotta get to Mark. He's the expert on this. He'll know what's going on. ( HEAVY ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ) You always looked out for me, bro. (Eerie whisper) Hey, Mark. ( TAP SQUEAKS, WATER RUNS ) ( TENSE MUSIC ) (Whispers) I gotta stay awake. (Sighs) (Gasps) Oh, shit! Shit! ( GURGLING ) Hey, Mark. You didn't forget about me, did you? Oh, God. (In Freddy's voice) Oh, that's right! Everyone forgot! That's why they weren't afraid anymore. That's why I needed Jason to kill for me, to get them to remember! But now he just won't stop, that hockey punk! (Gasps and shouts in agony) (Laughs wildly) This isn't real! This isn't real. (Continues laughing) (Screams) Somebody please wake me up! PLEASE! ( FRENETIC TECHNO MUSIC ) Mark! Mark, wake up! I need you to send a little message for me, that's all. Just a little message. (Groans) I'm not gonna do it. (Yells) I won't do it! NO? I won't do it. (Snarls) (Scrapes talons on wall) I'll have to pass that message myself, won't I? Hmm? (Both cry out) (Cries out) Oh, my God! (Lori screams) (Laughs) (Both shout) Help...me. Mark! (Screams) (Both scream) FREDDY: Pass on a little message for me, will you? (Sighs) Uh, Sheriff? I've been compiling info based on eyewitness reports of the hockey mask killer... We already know who did this. Sheriff, we closed the school and set up an under-18 curfew. Good. I want 24-hour roadblocks set up. Nobody leaves town, nobody gets in. We'll contain the sonofabitch before he spreads any further. Yes, sir. Sir, shouldn't we have the FBI come in and...? No outsiders, Stubbs! We can handle this. We've stopped him before. OK, I'm a little lost here. Stopped who before? We don't say his name out loud. You're not local. I don't expect you to understand. With all due respect, Sheriff, I think we have a copycat of the old Jason Voorhees/Crystal Lake killer. You listen to me. We do things around here a certain way for a reason, and that's given us four years of peace. So, you either do your job and keep quiet, or I'll lock you up. Do you understand me? Do you understand? Yes, sir. ( MYSTERIOUS MUSIC ) Why don't we all just leave? Even if we leave, Freddy can still get us. We all know about him. We're all afraid of him. It was our fear that gave him his power. And we're marked now. Man, screw that clown. What kind of pussy comes after you in your dreams, anyway? Now, that big ass motherfucker back at the cornfield, alright? That's who we should be afraid of. Tell me who the fuck that was. Name was Jason Voorhees. Uh, shit, man. Um...how did you know we were here? Nothing personal, but the Scooby van out back wasn't exactly subtle. And never keep your keys in the door. Great. So now we're completely fucked. No, you're not. I'm here to help you. Now, this Jason Voorhees supposedly drowned at Camp Crystal Lake back in 1957 when he was 11 years old when the counsellors weren't watching him. Then they made the mistake of killing his mother. And legend has it that Jason kept returning from his grave to punish whoever returned to the camp. I think we're dealing with a copycat here. No, no, no. He's not a copycat. I've seen what he can do. He's the real Jason. That's impossible, Linderman. Jason is dead. Yeah, well, better start thinking outside your little box, dude, 'cause somebody's definitely breaking the fucking reality rules, OK? WILL: It makes sense in a way. I mean, what if Freddy brought Jason back because he was too weak to go after us on his own? So, he used Jason. He knew we'd think it was him, that we'd spread the fear again, and now it's working, it's like he can't shut Jason back down. (Gasps) Wait a minute. Freddy died by fire, Jason by water. How can we use that? I think we should concentrate on Jason first. But I thought we decided that Freddy was pulling the strings. Shouldn't we go after him first? I don't know. Maybe what we need to do is to offer Freddy a sacrifice. Yeah, yeah, totally. Like a virgin, right? Someone pure. Dude, don't look at me. Even if you pay for it, it still counts. Oh, come on. Look, we all know who the real virgin is here. Kia! Oh, come on, Lori. You never made it with Will. Why would he want to... ..when he can fuck somebody like me? (Chuckles) (Both laugh) Let's tie the bitch up. What?! Don't worry, angel. You've still got me. Come on, give Daddy a kiss. (Screams) Your eyes say, "No, no",... but my mouth says, "Yes, yes!" (Screams) Lori, are you all right? Lori! You fell asleep! (Gasps) DRAMATIC MUSIC (Shrieks) Holy shit! I pulled that out of my dream. How is that possible? Anything is possible! God, you just don't get it. God, y'all. Two killers. We're not safe awake or asleep. It's not the sleep that's killing us. It's our dreams. At Westin, Mark and I never had dreams. Were you on any drugs? Yeah, but there was something called Hypnocil. They never told us what it was for, but everyone there was taking it. Hypnocil ` experimental drug. Not even approved yet by the FDA. Oh shit. Used for... suppression of dreams. We need those pills. Enough for all of us. Can you get us back to Westin Hills? Let's hit it. Oh, sweet.

FREDDY: These are my children, Jason. Go back where you belong! ( EERIE MUSIC ) (Freddy laughs wildly) WOMAN: Jason. Jason. My special, special boy. I'm disappointed in you, Jason. You disobeyed me. You were supposed to come back home, just kill a few of them. But I blame myself. I should have known you wouldn't be able to stop killing! You are like a big, stupid dog who can't stop eating, even though your master said you've had enough! (Freddy laughs) Ah, it's time to put this bad dog to sleep... ..for good! HA!

Why don't we do it here? Why go all the way to Crystal Lake? Best-case scenario, Jason wins, he'll already be home, back where he belongs. Why follow us any more? And if Freddy wins? At least Jason has home-field advantage. Ah. (Whimpers) (Laughs) Oh. How sweet! (Cries out) You ugly little shit. Now, there's a face only a mother could love. (Laughs) Oh yeah. Now we're getting somewhere. Let's see what really scares you. Oh! (cries) And dig a little deeper.
