Freddy’s dead – Final Nightmare
SCOTT A deal’s what got me into this.
FREDDY Bring Jacob to me.
Scott, valiantly holding on to his nerve, raises an eyebrow.
SCOTT What’s in it for me?
FREDDY Power. You don’t need to hang out with those losers. You’re a take-charge kind of guy, Scott. Like when you took charge of your father.
Suddenly Freddy is spinning a gun on the bar with his free hand. Scott grimaces.
SCOTT Leave my father out of this.
FREDDY I’ll make you mayor of Rosedale.
SCOTT After you make it look like this?
FREDDY You can have Karen.
That was Freddy’s trump card. It really hits a nerve in Scott. Karen’s everything he’s ever wanted.
SCOTT Alive?
FREDDY Any way you want her.
SCOTT (after a beat) Okay.
FREDDY Shake?
Krueger holds out his knives. Scott shakes his head.
SCOTT No thanks. I trust you.
Freddy laughs.
INT. NIGHTMARE JOHNSON HOME – ALICE’S BEDROOM
Jacob opens the door into darkness.
JACOB Mother?
He turns on the light and a RED HAZE blankets the room. Jacob looks up. The dish-like ceiling lamp is filled with blood.
Jacob walks into the room, tears welling. He walks by Alice’s vanity, her makeup still sitting there as if she might show up and use it at any moment.
He steps up to a wardrobe closet and touches the edges of it lightly. He reaches out and slowly, almost reverently, opens the doors.
Dozens of writhing SNAKES drop out of the closet and slither onto the ground.
Jacob jumps back and SCREAMS.
Then he just stands there in the middle of the teaming reptile mass, not giving a shit anymore, going insane. His fists clenched, his head tilted back, as he YELLS into the air like a wolf baying at the moon.
EXT. SPRINGWOOD TAVERN
Scott steps off the sidewalk and looks up and down the street. He thinks and we MOVE IN on him.
SCOTT Mayor of Rosedale.
Scott sneers.
SCOTT (cont’d) What a crock of shit.
We PULL WIDER as Scott cups his hands around his mouth.
SCOTT (cont’d) Hey! He’s over here. Yo! Dream Police. Hello! Come on. Move you collective asses.
CLOSE ON SCOTT
He puts his hands on his hips and sighs.
SCOTT (cont’d) Never a cop around when you need one.
GLITCH! a stabbing sound of flesh, and Scott JERKS violently as our shot PULLS BACK to reveal:
Freddy behind Scott, his deadly fingers buried in the boy’s back. Scott chokes on his own blood as Krueger growls.
FREDDY I hate a snitch!
Freddy pulls out his blades as Scott falls forward and with his final breath utters:
SCOTT Eat shit…
His body hits the ground with a THUD as a sudden ROAR fills the air. Freddy looks around for its source. And Sound Cop drops down on him with a SMACK.
The two of them tumble, then both jump up. Freddy laughs. Sound Cop looks down at Scott’s body, then back up at Krueger. His body is shaking with fury,and he opens his mouth.
The loudest sound yet comes from Sound Cop. KABOOM! A blast of air at Mach 3 smacks into Freddy and sends him sailing back, SMASHING right through the Tavern wall.
INT. SPRINGWOOD TAVERN
Freddy flies sideways, right through the bar, destroying chandeliers as he careens through and punches yet another huge hole through the opposite wall.
The nightmarish customers don’t even seem to notice.
INT. NIGHTMARE JOHNSON HOME – ENTRYWAY
Jacob is shuffling down the stairs as a SONIC BOOM of noise echoes through the streets outside.
He knows exactly what that sound means as we MOVE IN on his face.
JACOB Krueger…
Jacob races for the front door.
INT. SPRINGWOOD TAVERN
The dust is just starting to settle as a THUD is heard coming from the hole in the opposite wall. Quickly followed by Freddy’s soaring body. Krueger SMASHES into some tables and slides across the floor. Power Cop steps through the hole, his fists clenched. Freddy stands up and dusts himself off.
FREDDY Lighten up, bone brain.
Power Cop has no intention to. He bolts over, grabs Krueger, raises him over his head like a wrestler, slams him down on the bar, and SHOVES Freddy, knocking glasses and ashtrays aside until he SMACKS into yet another poor wall.
Krueger barely gets back on his feet when Power Cop is right on him again. The big man in black SWINGS, but this time Freddy DUCKS. CRACK! a support column bursts into dust. Freddy twirls around. And the two of them start to PUNCH each other.
It’s a barroom brawl between non-humans as Power Cop and Freddy Krueger exchange multiple blows.
SMACK SMACK SMACK! Freddy nails Power Cop, whose head barely seems to budge from the hits.
POW POW POW! Power Cop lays into Krueger, sending him spinning and tumbling only to pick him up and start the process all over again.
This goes on for a while, and Krueger is losing.
The mutant bouncer finally steps up to Power Cop to try and put a stop to all this.
MUTANT BOUNCER Take it outside!
CRUNCH! Power Cop puts a stop to the bouncer with a vicious elbow in the chest. All this gave Freddy a few seconds to grab a chair and crack it ineffectually over the Cop’s head. The pummeling begins again.
THWACK THWACK THWACK! Power Cop is punching Freddy towards the door.
EXT. SPRINGWOOD TAVERN
Like in an old wester, Krueger flies out of the double doors and somersaults onto the pavement. Sound Cop is a few yards away knelt down next to Scott’s dead body. He looks up as Freddy sneers.
FREDDY No more playing around.
Freddy raises his left fist and it begins to EXPAND. It grows like an inflated beach ball, except it doesn’t look soft at all. Freddy slides up to the side of the entrance, and raises his giant hammer hand. Power Cop steps through, looking for blood. Sound Cop tries to warn him.
SOUND COP Kincaid!
Too late. BAM! Freddy’s fist slams down on Power Cop’s head. He’s actually shoved down into the ground a full two feet – trapped at the legs.
BAM! Freddy hits him again. Power Cop is down to his thighs and he can’t get out.
A RUMBLING is heard. Freddy turns to see Sound Cop starting to open his mouth. Krueger instantly reaches down and grabs a brick from the rubble and THROWS it at Sound Cop.
FREDDY Put a lid on it!
THUNK! The brick lands squarely in Sound Cop’s mouth, stretching it painfully and blocking it completely. Sound Cop reels from the impact. Tries to pull out the firmly wedged plug.
Freddy turns back to Power Cop, BAM! Hits him down to his hips. The giant fist swings, BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM! like hammering a nail until Power Cop DISAPPEARS into the ground.
Freddy’s hand deflates to regular size as he turns to the struggling Sound Cop.
Sound Cop’s head is EXPANDING. Pressure seems to be building up, something’s gonna blow. Freddy picks up a boulder from the street rubble. He catapults it with both hands at Sound Cop. The boulder hits Sound Cop’s head and takes it CLEAN OFF.
Sound Cop’s decapitated skull tumbles away with the brick still stuck, as a blast of air shoots up from the stump of his neck with a SCREECH.
Sound Cop’s body stumbles for a few seconds, then falls over limply.
Freddy LAUGHS and laughs and laughs… KACHUNK! until a KNIFE embeds itself in his back. Krueger spins around.
CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK! Three more knives slam into his body as he staggers back in surprise. Blade Cop stands twenty feet away reaching into thin air and whipping out knife after knife, flinging them at Freddy. They sail like flying bullets.
CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK! Krueger falls back from the sheer force of the onslaught, at least a dozen blades sticking out of his body.
Blade stops. She stands there for a beat, waiting to see what Freddy will do next.
Krueger sways, looking like an inhuman pincushion. Then he grins. His body steadies, and he suddenly poses like a body builder and flexes every muscle.
POP POP POP! The daggers shoot out of his torso and limbs, CLATTERING to the ground.
The girl in black steps back and raises her arms. SHINK SHINK! Two-foot-long sabers jut out from her forearms. They’re not held by her, they’re a PART of her, exiting from the tops of her wrists under her clenched fists. She crosses the blades in front of her.
FREDDY (cont’d) (smiling) Ah… a girl after my own heart.
KACHINK! Freddy shoots out his finger knives and they EXTEND to double their normal size. He raises them and takes on a fencing stance.
