Electric Chainsaw Massacre

EXT, COUNTRYSIDE -- DAY

A leather-faced MANIAC runs after a screaming woman. He's holding an electric chainsaw - the cord trails behind him.

MANIAC: Eh-heh-heh-heh!

WOMAN: Eagghhhhhh!

CHAINSAW: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

MANIAC reaches end of the cord. Back in the barn or someplace, the plug pops out. The chainsaw rattles to a silent stop. MANIAC stands there looking stupid. The WOMAN stops, looks at him. He looks up.

She kicks him in the nuts.

The Flamemaster 3000

Open, a boy and a girl kneeling down in the garage burning their Dad's "Playboys" and giggling.

DAD: (OS -- angry) Are you kids playing with matches?

KIDS: No.

Dad bursts into garage. Furious, but it's an act.

DAD: Don’t lie to me! Why in Sam Hill would you play with matches. (Suddenly smiling.) When you could play with this?!

Two shiny, plastic flame-throwers magically appear in the kids' hands.

KIDS: Wow! The Flamemaster 3000!

ANNOUNCER: (VO) Yes, kids love the Flamemaster 3000— 'cause kids love fire!

Shot of the kids running around burning the crap out of everything with their cute flame-throwers.


ANNOUNCER: (VO) The Flamemaster 3000!

Montage illustrates --
