ALTERNATE ENDING FOUR

-Jason. Wake up.-

I sit up, still dreaming, my wife asleep at my side. The teenage Girl sits at the foot of our bed, to the left of me, a strawberry blonde in a black t-shirt under a denim vest. She is scrawny and kind of trashy but she has a very pretty, vulnerable smile. She also has a deep gouge in her forehead and a thin red line dug into her throat where she was strangled.

-Jason. Wake up.-

-What. What do you want.-

-I know you can’t do it.-

I take a moment to measure the gravity of her words. -I really thought I could. I thought, how hard can this be, you know. Found out.-

-Why is it so hard. Is there a part of you that doesn’t want it to end.-

Again, I take my time. -Maybe. But also there’s this other part that feels like...even in the lie of the movie version, giving everything a nice, concise explanation is like...the lie is just too big.-

She smiles sadly, sweetly. –I understand. There are some lies that are too big to tell.-

-I’m sorry.-

-I know you are. You’re forgiven.- She smiles, moves as if to leave, then pauses.

–Take the end. Take the end to tell something else, something true.-

And then she is gone, and something is over, and something else begins.

ALTERNATE ENDING THREE

The gang of kids goes into Snakeland and finds the deformed kid who has been using his dark powers to murder and suicide the kids of Fallsville North. When confronted, he reveals that not only did he cause all 4 suicides with his snake illusion, he possessed Jeremy Janks to kill his family and himself and that to kill Hannah Graeber he possessed Mike Guerassio. Guerassio loses control, admits that he loved Hannah and pursues the deformed kid up to the “midget room” at the top of one of the silos. Guerassio and the deformed kid struggle and the deformed kid uses the snake illusion to cause Guerassio to throw himself off, effectively killing himself. The deformed kid stands at the edge, laughing at the kids below, when the spirits of the dead of Fallsville suddenly appear, reach up and grab him. He screams as they pull him down through a portal that appears in the floor, dragging him to Hell. Hoover states that this will be the end, the “last of the murders...in Snakeland.” Archival footage of the destruction of the real Snakeland plays over the ending credits. FIN
