A Message from the Director:
Wow, what a time! I get to write a project that's full of
love, fanservice, and FOES! It's like a dream come true.
Jornk had pitched it a long time ago, and Spyder produced,
and with Senna and Chucky involved this project was just a
goldmine of potential. And look how it turned out! This
project was so much fun, with so many small snippets that
even I have to admit I love it! (And not to say that I don't
like my own project, but I don't want to toot my own horn--my
cast deserves to do that so much more!)
I remember a time when I was honored to even star in a FS
role. I wanted to play anyone--I played Jonah in four
different projects, after all! I even got to play that
scripted gag from Spider-Man 4's original Raimi script, but
beyond that, I got a spinoff with the entire gang! I bounced
off the guys so much, and I loved every part of the Foes.
Seeing them die in-script hurt a little bit, but if it means
that they get to live again, then I knew that a project like
this couldn't be skimped on.
I look back on it now in 2021 with some of the joys of how I
was when I was younger. Enamored with Spider-Man and JoJo,
hoping to make a project that was some kind of contribution,
and we even got ASH WILLIAMS into this! Ash, who exists
between two FS servers! It's amazing. The cast is also the
most important part of the project, and they were such a
delight to bounce dialogue off of. Special thanks, of course,
to Senna--he's the best sidekick a Foe could have. Pwn--your
Ash is legendary. Even with Evil Dead 4's script, I couldn't
compete. Jettu, Proteus, Johnny, Hunter (aptly!), Spyder,
Chucky--you brought back the classic villains, some of whom
we brought to life, and some of whom Raimi did, with such fun
and fanservice that I need to mention you all. Shawdy, my
thanks to you for bringing forward a special cameo. And
Flash! In both stilts and deed, you really are a cornerstone
of this whole franchise...thing. Is Foes a franchise?
It's a project full of inside jokes, heart, and the love of
what we've created. A tribute to our monument. I hope to make
more projects to honor FS in the future, and I know that this
isn't the last directorial role you've seen from me.
Excelsior!

FADE IN:
INT./EXT. VARIOUS
Move to several other quick cuts:
Prowler disrupting traffic, bringing about a seven car
pileup,
Mysterio slipping a hideous inmate a shiv within prison,
A civilian getting gibbed during Jack O'Lantern's bank
robbery from The Spectacular Foes of Spider-Man,
And several other punches, hostages and other situations.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
(Whisper)
Prowler and Mysterio or you and me?
AARON DAVIS
(Whisper)
Prowler and Mysterio, sounds more
menacing.
MYSTERIO
Prowler and Mysterio!
Mysterio then turns back to Prowler.
MYSTERIO (CONT’D)
...Why are we Prowler and Mysterio,
anyway?
THE PROWLER
Why... not?
He shrugs.
DENNIS CARRADINE
Don't you customed wackos know?
Here we always wear the last thing
we used before we go down! You
kinda get used to it after.... 11
years.
Mysterio tugs on his helmet, then realizes that he can't get
it off. He sighs, looking down.
MYSTERIO
Really? Feels like...what, feels
like we've been waiting for five
years. Smells like it, too.
THE PROWLER
Speaking of waiting, when are we
up?
Suddenly, their names are called by a very Gilbert Gottfried-
esque voice.
GILBERT GOTTFRIED-ESQUE VOICE
QUENTIN BECK AND AARON DAVIS.
REPORT TO SECTION A-5!
THE PROWLER
Speak of the devil.
DENNIS CARRADINE
Mind if I come with you, fellas?
10.
DENNIS CARRADINE
Depends to be honest. For me, this
is Heaven!
ALPHA HARPY
Dennis Carradine! You've been
sentenced to eternal punishment for
being a naughty, naughty little
damned!
Dennis starts to scream.
DENNIS CARRADINE
OH, NO! NOT THE HARPIES! NOT THE
HARPIES! AAAAAHHHHH!
Dennis is fully pulled into the portal as it closes.
AARON DAVIS
Okay, that just happened.
QUENTIN BECK
Yeesh. Hope mine ain't that bad.
Beck tears open his envelope and reads over the letter,
squinting to read the print.
Aaron rips his open and glances over the letter.
Beck looks over at Aaron, looking at his expression.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Hey, this ain't great, but...what's
the worst that could happen?
AARON DAVIS
You know you just don’t ask that
question, right?
SOUNDTRACK END: [LITTLE GREEN BAG - GEORGE BAKER]
Cut to a dutch angle of a slightly broken movie theater
screening door. Cue a scream from Beck.
The camera enters the doors.
SOUNDTRACK START: [DEAD MAN'S PARTY - OINGO BOINGO]
PETER TRAVERS
This is just...a mess. Utterly.
The second stands, a confused expression on his face.
[7 - Professional Contrarian]
ARMOND WHITE
This is...a trainwreck. Nothing
less.
The third critic stands, a sign of utter displeasure on his
face.
[8 - I Remember It So YOU Don't Have To!]
DOUG WALKER
What is this shit?! If both of them
hate it, that should give a pretty
good image of what we're in for.
Beck looks up from the table as best he can.
QUENTIN BECK
Please, it's been ten hours, say
something else!
ARMOND WHITE
It's like I'm looking inside an
asshole. These effects...
DOUG WALKER
They're terrible! I know we're in
Hell and all, but come on, this is
the real torture!
PETER TRAVERS
I concur. What a bore.
Beck begins to weep, struggling.
QUENTIN BECK
I just wanted to be big! I wanted
to be a star! I had something!
DOUG WALKER
No, you had crap! Now, you want
quality? Let me show you quality!
The theater screen starts to distort.
ELMORE BECK
Gee wiz, honey, I'm sorry to hear
about your brother, but
Maguire...he's a cute kid. I told
you, we didn't need to have kids!
HENRIETTA BECK
You might be right...you know,
we're going to be a happy
family...all by ourselves!
The couple embraces as MAGUIRE BECK stares up, cooing.
He sighs.
Suddenly, an A/C unit smashes the reflection, narrowly
missing his head.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
What the--
[13 - What The...]
Spider-Man swings by, a giant automaton following him. More
glass shatters, though it regenerates as it falls, dirtier
than ever.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
DAMN IT! Not again!
Aaron is compelled to clean the windows again, and does so.
His elevator brings him down by a few millimeters every
second, and above him, Spider-Man smashes a full row of
windows. Glass falls down, shattering all around Aaron.
Aaron begins to sob.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
I can't take this anymore!
He keeps cleaning.
His elevator stalls between stalls.
Aaron turns around and sees Spider-Man coming yet again.
He picks up the soap bucket and throws it at him.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
Go to hell asshole!
The soap gets caught in the raging wind and douses the
already pissed Aaron.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
GOD! DAMMIT!!!!!
He kicks some cleaning supplies.
[14 - GOD DAMMIT!]
SOUNDTRACK END: [LOVERS OF THE WORLD - JERRY WALLACE]
17.
Beck looks over in fear, but then his face breaks into a
terrified grin.
QUENTIN BECK
Hey, you look...familiar somehow.
A chainsaw comes into the shot, revving up. Beck gulps.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
...Please don’t tell me you’re one
of mine.
ASH WILLIAMS grabs onto the lift and steps up, trying to pull
back Aaron.
ASH WILLIAMS
Hey, come on, now! I’m Ash
Williams, I’m here to get you two
out of here. Now stop the window
washing!
AARON DAVIS
Let go of me! I need to keep
cleaning!
Aaron struggles to break free of Ash's grasp.
Ash sighs, then punches Aaron in the face, using some of the
elevator cord to bind his hands and legs.
ASH WILLIAMS
Snap out of it, will you? You’re
stalling us now!
Aaron continues to try and break free to clean.
Ash ends up hoisting him over his shoulder, sighing in
defeat.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
Do it your way, at least until your
swan song wears off.
Ash jumps down in front of Beck.
QUENTIN BECK
Wow. Now, what was that about
saving us?
Ash hoists the shotgun onto his back, pointing out. Around
the trio, the world begins to fade out slowly, like the
dissipating film of a broken projector.
ASH WILLIAMS
Let me just say this, Quentin.
We're in a damn pickle around here.
We're stuck in Hell, and for
reasons I can't even begin to
explain yet, we need to go now.
Now, what you need to know is,
name's Ash. I work in Housewares.
I'm your best chance of getting out
of here.
20.
AARON DAVIS
Why are you here! Just let me
clean!
ASH WILLIAMS
Well, my insane friend, the Ooze
brought me. No use asking what the
Ooze is or where it's from, but
it's consuming Hell. And if you
want decent afterlives or even
better lives, you're gonna have to
trust me here.
Beck looks around another time, frightened as the world turns
to darkness around him.
QUENTIN BECK
What's happening? What are we gonna
do?!
Ash turns to Beck, prepping his chainsaw as the world
finalizes in its form. The wailing and gnashing of teeth
begins to quiet down, replaced by a guttural moaning.
ASH WILLIAMS
Simple. We're gonna blast the hell
out of all the Ooze we can, and
then even more.
QUENTIN BECK
Alright; you take care of that, you
get us out of this mess...
Beck shakes the fishbowl subtly.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
...right, Davis?
AARON DAVIS
I dunno, I kinda like it in here
now.
QUENTIN BECK
You’re going into the Heart if you
keep messing with me!
Beck shakes the fishbowl like an 8-ball.
ASH WILLIAMS
Now we just have to figure out how
to get down there.
QUENTIN BECK
I dunno. If it’s between the
pitfall of ooze and the solid round
pit around it, I’d say our best
chance is—-
Beck pauses as a sickening ‘plop’ is heard, and his eyes
widen.
Ash’s eyes widen in shock, and he yelps in pain very
suddenly.
ASH WILLIAMS
Son of a bitch!
Two talons, one in each’s gut, are barely sticking out of
their front sides. Silence fills the air.
AARON DAVIS
Beck, what happened?
The shot pans out.
Their attacker lets out a low-pitched cackle.
???
Well, well, well. Isn't this a
merry reunion?
Music begins to play, rising and rising as the scene becomes
clearer.
28.
EDDIE BROCK (CONT’D)
You could call me Venom.
Eddie uses the symbiote to form a sharp-edged cane.
Beck tries to shuffle back, but he's frozen in fear
QUENTIN BECK
Wait, why are you that thing?
Didn't you get killed by it or
something? You were in the papers!
Ash looks over at Beck and shakes his head.
ASH WILLIAMS
He wasn't killed by it. He was that
thing, and I've been tracking him
after death for far too long.
EDDIE BROCK
I'm flattered someone remembers me.
AARON DAVIS
Whatddya you want with us anyway?
ASH WILLIAMS
Well...not with you. I've been
tracking him because his spirit
couldn't just lie down and die. He
had further aspirations after
death, and his soul and the Ooze's
were intertwined. I was going to
find a few souls down here to
recruit to stop him, but...I guess
we were too late.
SOUNDTRACK END: [21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN (RADIO EDIT) -
KING CRIMSON]
SOUNDTRACK START: [EGYPT (THE CHAINS ARE ON) - DIO]
EDDIE BROCK
I had asked God to kill Peter
Parker, but now it looks like I'm
gonna one-up him!
Eddie motions towards his executioner.
EDDIE BROCK (CONT’D)
I could have my pal here gut every
last one of you...or...you could
join me and unleash hell on Earth!
31.
ASH WILLIAMS
You think we'd join you? I'd tell
you to go to Hell, but considering
where we are, I think you should go
to the Bugle instead.
Beck pauses in thought, looking back at Ash, then at Aaron,
then at Venom again.
QUENTIN BECK
If I said no to Kraven up there,
what makes you think I'd say yes to
you down here?
AARON DAVIS
We may be villains, uh- have been
villains, but we're not evil.
Eddie sighs.
EDDIE BROCK
Ya know...I'm disappointed.
Eddie snaps his fingers to summon his executioner. The
symbiote engulfs Eddie's face once more.
VENOM
Have at 'em.
A figure stands in the shadows behind the throne, motioned at
by Venom. The sound of a blade hitting the floor is seen,
then held out into the light.
[23 - The Blade From His Gilder]
SOUNDTRACK END: [EGYPT (THE CHAINS ARE ON) - DIO]
SOUNDTRACK START: [FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS - METALLICA]
The figure cackles with glee.
???
A villian that isn't evil... I've
never heard a more pathetic
oxymoron!
The figure steps into the light, revealing NORMAN OSBORN in a
much more GOBLIN-like costume.
[24 - Back to Formula]
THE GOBLIN
Now, we're gonna finish you,
niiiiice, and SLOOOOW.
32.
AARON DAVIS
Osborn!? But- but you're dead!
Venom cackles.
VENOM
We ALL died!
AARON DAVIS
I keep forgettin'!!
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
(Muttering)
Guess it takes some time to get
used to..
ASH WILLIAMS
Was really hoping he hadn't gotten
that far through the target list...
KRAVEN -- THE HUNTER then enters the room, carrying a bag of
assorted meats and bones which he throws to the Vulture.
[25 - Grudge Held]
At that, Beck begins to attempt standing up, but falls due to
his wound from Vulture.
QUENTIN BECK
Hey, you bastard, you killed Aaron
and I! When I get out of here, I’m
cramming your blow darts down your
throat!
AARON DAVIS
If I had my body, you'd be even
more dead than you are now!
The Hunter snarls at Beck and Aaron, showing his blade
threateningly.
THE HUNTER
The things that I did in my past
life are of no matter to me
anymore, for I have been given the
role of Beastmaster. But, I must
say that it would be a pleasure to
kill you two again.
VENOM
Bring in The Enforcer!
The Hunter nods and turns around to the entrance behind him.
He yanks on a chain attached to him.
33.
THE HUNTER
OUT!
A hulking, symbiote infected WILSON FISK -- the former
KINGPIN of crime, then stumbles forward, his neck bound by
The Hunter's chain. He snarls at Aaron, Beck, and Ash, drool
falling from his mouth as if he's a mad dog.
[26 - How The Mighty Fall]
Beck looks at the figure in fear as drool lands by his face.
QUENTIN BECK
...Woah, mamma.
The Hunter chuckles at the beast.
THE HUNTER
Good! Good! When you're done here
I'll throw you a bone, eh?
Kingpin happily grins, nodding his head up and down.
VENOM
I empowered my friends here with
the symbiote. Our combined hate
kept us alive in these depths.
Another figure slowly steps out, his back hunched over and
his face obscured by a mask.
???
It wasn't easy trying to bring
everyone back to power... but by
the Devil, was it worth it...
Part of the room flashes with a bright light from the
creature's corridor, revealing...
MILES WARREN -- THE JACKAL.
[27 - Metamorphosis]
AARON DAVIS
What now? Is Ol' Jack gonna come in
and say hello too?
QUENTIN BECK
Please don't have Wilbur...not him
too...
AARON DAVIS
Naa, Wil's upstairs. I know that
for sure.
34.
VENOM
Alright boys, KILL THEM!
The Hunter lets Kingpin's chain go, pushing him in the
direction of Beck and Aaron.
THE HUNTER
KILL THEM!
THE KINGPIN
RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH!
Kingpin charges at the group and pins down Ash and Beck with
ease.
THE KINGPIN (CONT’D)
KILL...THEM!!!
Ash and Beck both wince in pain, Ash looking at Beck.
ASH WILLIAMS
How'd we get into this mess again?!
QUENTIN BECK
Well, it's a long sto--shut up and
figure something out!
Goblin twirls the spear, laughing all the while.
AARON DAVIS
I would help you guys but I'm still
a goddamn head!
Aaron looks around again at the situation.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
Let's just get the hell outta here!
THE GOBLIN
I'm going to enjoy making mincemeat
of your efforts.
He raises his spear.
THE GOBLIN (CONT’D)
GODSPEED, ALL YE HELLBOUND, AND
FOLLOW THE COLD SHIVER DOWN YOUR
SPINE TO YOUR ETERNAL REST.
Ash looks around in desperation, a panic in his eyes.
SOUNDTRACK END: [FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS - METALLICA]
SOUNDTRACK START: [TIME HAS COME TODAY - CHAMBERS BROTHERS]
35.
THE GOBLIN (CONT’D)
Another one of you? Your tricks
won't work on me, you fool!
ASH WILLIAMS
Trick...?
Ash jumps up, holding the downed glider, and rams it into
Goblin's abdomen with force.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
Looking more like a treat to me,
you Jack O'Lantern!
Goblin howls in pain.
THE GOBLIN
GAAAAH! NOT AGAIN!
Ash sighs, unclipping a grenade from Goblin's belt.
ASH WILLIAMS
Oh, shut up and eat your words!
Ash slams the grenade through his mask, into Goblin's open
mouth.
Goblin quickly grabs his throat, realizing it's too late, and
his face goes slack.
THE GOBLIN
(Mumbling)
Oh.
Ash clears the scene as the grenade detonates, leaving The
Goblin as a skeleton.
[30 - You're Out, Norman]
The Hunter motions to Vulture and points at the group.
THE HUNTER
Kill them!
A sinister grin grows on Vulture's face as he raises his
hands and extends monstrous claws.
THE VULTURE
With pleasure.
Vulture flies after Prowler and wildly scratches after him,
letting out an animalistic screech.
41.
THE PROWLER
BACK OFF!
Prowler sends a shockwave of glass towards Vulture, pushing
him back.
Vulture regains his composure and cackles.
THE VULTURE
Ever since that night you were
killed in the prison, I knew you
were a worthless warrior, boy. I
only hoped your time in this place
would enlighten something in you.
But as usual, I'm left to pick the
bones of those I slay with no
effort. I'll at least have the
pleasure of having you die once
more!
Vulture flies towards Prowler at a breakneck speed and opens
his beak-like mouth revealing demonic symbiote teeth,
intending to finish off his inferior competition.
As Vulture approaches Prowler, he encases his wings in glass
moments before he strikes, rendering him immobile.
THE PROWLER
What's the matter? Can't hit a
worthless warrior like me?
Vulture growls.
THE VULTURE
It's always a damn malfunction with
wings, isn't it!? Kraven, get me
out of this!
The Hunter jumps up and swings at Prowler, barely missing
him.
THE HUNTER
Hold still, so I can kill you
again!
Vulture begins to glide uncontrollably downwards and grasps
at his wings, unable to maneuver them.
THE VULTURE
AGH, NO! DAMMIT! NO, THIS CAN'T BE
HAPPENING, NOT AGAIN!
Vulture casts a glare back to The Hunter with fearful,
nervous eyes.
42.
THE VULTURE (CONT’D)
KRAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN-
Vulture turns his head back and sees that he's about to glide
into a large lavafall. He covers his head with his arms and
screams before flying into it, as the Vulture comes to an
abrupt end yet again.
SOUNDTRACK END: [SACRED HEART - DIO]
THE PROWLER
Anyone up for some barbequed
vulture?
The Hunter lets out a scream of rage and pounds the ground.
THE HUNTER
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT,
DAVIS!
QUENTIN BECK
Hey, Kraven!
The camera turns to show Beck standing, flicking his fingers
tauntingly.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Pick on someone your own size.
The Hunter grins as he walks threateningly towards Beck.
THE HUNTER
I'm going to enjoy killing you
again, Mysterio.
He rushes toward him.
Beck grapples with The Hunter, still straining after his
fight with Goblin, but tries to push forward with his
gauntlets.
QUENTIN BECK
You know, for all your muscle, you
sure aren't as tough as you look!
The only hunting you look like
you've done is taxidermy hunting!
The Hunter eventually overpowers him, throwing him to the
ground and pulling out his blunderbuss, and firing it into
him over, and over, and over again.
43.
THE HUNTER
Remember this, Beck? I’ll do you
again! And again! However many
times it takes!
Satisfied, he steps back away from him.
Beck's body shudders violently as it crumples, then loses all
life, his eyes rolling and his face distorting.
THE PROWLER
Beck!
Suddenly, as The Hunter begins to walk away, a fog begins to
settle in.
From Beck's body, a heavy mist fades in and swirls around the
Hunter, and music begins to pick up.
SOUNDTRACK START: [MARS, THE BRINGER OF WAR (OP. 32) - GUSTAV
HOLST]
MARS, THE BRINGER OF WAR swells as an outline forms in the
mist.
The figure emerges!
[31 - Smoke & Mirrors]
Mysterio crosses his arms as the music swells to a peak.
Kraven steps back, his face frozen in shock.
THE HUNTER
H-How...?
Mysterio steps forward, towering over Kraven now.
MYSTERIO
Fool! Do you not remember to whom
you speak? Mysterio, the Master of
Illusions!
Mysterio's fishbowl becomes whisked away into fog as Beck's
face emerges from the dense mist.
QUENTIN BECK
Now, Kraven, lay it on this
handsome mug! I'm making this one
up-close and personal.
Kraven lets out a snarl of rage and fires his blunderbuss at
Mysterio repeatedly.
44.
THE HUNTER
I don't care who you are, I'm going
to kill you again!
Beck flicks his wrist, and catches five bullets that fly
towards him with his magic.
QUENTIN BECK
You don't care, huh?! You just
don't care about anything, is that
right?!
Beck uses his hold over the bullets to sling them into
Kraven's mouth. Some break through teeth, knocking them out
or shattering them, and they stayed suspended inside his
mouth.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
I'll give you something to care
about.
One bullet nudges the roof of The Hunter's mouth.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Aaron Davis.
Another bullet is felt near his throat.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Herman Schultz.
A third bullet aims itself towards The Hunter's brain.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Alexander O'Hirn.
A fourth is felt digging into his tongue. Beck speaks
emotionally.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Wilbur Day!
Kraven tears up and stares into Beck's eyes.
THE HUNTER
Please, you don't have to do this.
Spare me and I will never cause you
or your friends any harm.
Beck aims a final bullet between Kraven's eyes, ignoring him.
45.
QUENTIN BECK
Quentin Beck. That's my name, and I
want you to know it, because you're
going to care about it in a few
seconds.
Beck turns around and begins walking away, the bullets
suspended as they are.
THE HUNTER
Please, have mercy. I'm sorry-
QUENTIN BECK
Go...to Hell.
Beck squeezes his hand, and a sharp shot is heard as Kraven
falls over forward, dead in his tracks.
SOUNDTRACK END: [MARS, THE BRINGER OF WAR (OP. 32) - GUSTAV
HOLST]
Beck enchants the ground before him, and several demons begin
to slide into quicksand. He pushes his hand down as the
creatures begin to sink, but as a demon slashes his face, he
resorts to magical blasts instead.
QUENTIN BECK
Easier said than done, you know!
Venom uses his tendrils to grab bits of the terrain and toss
it at the Foes.
Suddenly, Prowler creates a shield of glass, protecting the
Foes from the terrain.
THE PROWLER
That was close!
Prowler then sends glass shards towards Venom's direction,
encasing him in glass.
THE PROWLER (CONT’D)
Now I've got you!
Beck nods in appreciation before he fires a magical blast
down the gaping maw of a demon, blowing it to bits. He looks
around, then at a weaker area. He breathes in, then sees
their objective forward.
QUENTIN BECK
Hang on, I’ve got an idea! Ash, go
for the Heart, and I’ll clear a
path! Davis, keep him contained!
Beck exhales, and a massive Mysterio avatar takes his place,
his waist disappearing behind stormy clouds. Mysterio fires
into the audience of demons rushing towards them, swatting
them aside, but his actions are sloppier than they previously
were.
MASSIVE MYSTERIO
Hurry, I can hold them off for just
a bit longer!
Ash starts running towards the Heart of Darkness, revving his
chainsaw as he sprints forward full speed. He plunges his
chainsaw into it full speed, slicing it open from the top. He
pushes his chainsaw further in.
Venom roars again.
VENOM
YOU CAN'T HOLD ME.
48.
Venom throws his fist into the glass chamber. With each
massive punch the wall cracks.
VENOM (CONT’D)
I'M GONNA RIP YOU TO SO MANY SHREDS
IT'LL MAKE A PAPER SHREDDER
JEALOUS.
One final punch destroys the glass cell.
Prowler steps back to regain his balance.
THE PROWLER
Beck!
Mysterio looks over at his comrade struggling, but he has to
push off the demons first.
MASSIVE MYSTERIO
Hold him off! Let Ash do his job!
Ash pulls his chainsaw out of the heart. He raises it behind
him, preparing to plunge it in.
ASH WILLIAMS
Sayonara, bitch!
Venom screams.
VENOM
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
[33 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
ASH WILLIAMS
Ending this!
Ash cuts into the heart, a maniacal grin on his face,
laughing madly.
Mysterio suddenly begins to groan, tossing aside a group of
demons before exhaling fire on the Heart, shrinking back into
his standard form.
Prowler follows in Mysterio's action and exhales fire on the
heart.
The Heart recoils, though halved, and begins to shrivel and
wilt away. All around the group, the Symbiote begins to
dissipate, collapsing demons and tortured souls alike. Barely
anything is left as the Symbiote seems to evaporate without
its core.
49.
???
Dance!
Eddie's head whips towards the sound.
EDDIE BROCK
What!?
A stereo crashes from above, glowing with radiant energy as
music blasts through the airwaves.
SOUNDTRACK START: [BOOGIE WONDERLAND - EARTH, WIND, & FIRE]
The sound rips through the Symbiote and the tendrils,
dropping the three heroes as Eddie stumbles back.
Beck falls, coughing but grinning.
QUENTIN BECK
Thankfully, I screamed loud enough
when I found one of your inklings
in my fishbowl! Figured we’d need
Earth and Fire to finish off your
list of weaknesses!
Prowler slowly gets up from the fall.
THE PROWLER
You're up Ash!
EDDIE BROCK
Ah, shit...
ASH WILLIAMS
BYE BYE!
Ash slices the symbiote to pieces with a grin on his face.
Eddie's eyes widen in horror as the symbiote begins to leave
him.
EDDIE BROCK
No! Please don't go!
Eddie scrambles to grab the ooze but slips from his fingers,
retreating further away.
EDDIE BROCK (CONT’D)
Please....
Eddie sits there on his knees. Now nothing more than a
whimpering shell.
51.
AARON DAVIS
Must be a helluva a story.
ASH WILLIAMS
And a pretty groovy one at that.
QUENTIN BECK
Doesn’t help to keep us in
anticipation, you know. Ever
considered robotics?
ASH WILLIAMS
Not really. I've never been all
that clever. Just good with my
hands in a pinch.
Aaron laughs softly.
AARON DAVIS
That's clever in my book.
QUENTIN BECK
Me, I’ve always been good at
tricking people. It’s just
that...when I don’t, well—stuff
like this happens!
Beck chuckles, a goofy grin on his face.
AARON DAVIS
You know, my life has been a
rollercoaster... well more of a
rollercoaster that doesn't stop
going down, but this whole thing
has shown me that...you finding the
right people who will stick with
you through hell and back is what's
really important. And I've done
just that.
He smiles.
Beck smiles, then lets out a small chuckle.
QUENTIN BECK
Aw, come on, kid, you’re gonna make
me tear up. Can’t have that on my
record.
He looks back into his shot glass, but then at the others,
clearing his throat.
54.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
I gotta say, if you told me that
I’d be getting out of Hell in that
7-11, I would’ve been so distracted
that Spider-Man would get that drop
on me like that.
Beck snaps his fingers.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
I don’t regret any action I’ve made
since we got that job from Jack.
I’ve lived a good life. Maybe not a
right life before, but we made the
right choices. We stood up for
ourselves, and let me tell you, we
had guts for it! I think...
Beck smiles from cheek to cheek, his eyes shining.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
There ain’t no finer class of
criminal than we.
ASH WILLIAMS
You know. In all my years of
torment and monster-slaying, I have
to say, it was the least hellish in
actual Hell, just 'cause of you
guys.
Ash shifts in his seat, taking another drink from his glass.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
I've always been so alone. No
matter where I go, what I do.
Everyone I love is never able to
see it through to the end with me.
And it's just... It's just really
nice to have some folks here who
know what it's like to lose. And
I'm just really glad we got out of
it together, you know? I don't know
if I'll ever see you guys again.
But I want you guys to know... It
was really nice to have someone
fighting alongside me for once.
Ash finishes his drink.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
'Specially some tough sons of
bitches such as yourselves.
55.
ASH WILLIAMS
I'm waiting on my ride. And yours
should be here any minute...
AARON DAVIS
Our ride?
QUENTIN BECK
Who’d give us a ride?
Down the grey river, several floating bodies drift downwards.
AARON DAVIS
You seein' this too?
They’re all in different clothes, but they all have a glimmer
in their mouths.
Behind them, a long canoe, empty but dirty. The rower leans
on his oar, glancing at the shore.
???
υπέρτερος, true believers!
[35 - Charon]
Beck exchanges a glance with Aaron, then looks back at the
rower. He seemed familiar...
QUENTIN BECK
What, you mean, us?
Davis turns to Beck.
AARON DAVIS
Whaddya say we get the hell outta
this dump?
CHARON
That'll be one drachma each! Pay
up, or get lost!
Beck looks over at the river, rubbing his hands together.
QUENTIN BECK
Third project I did, Davis—
Caligula. Big movie, that one...
Beck pulls a drachma from the mouth of a body, and despite
the body thrashing around, a slap to the mouth knocks him
under the waves.
57.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
...big flop. Come on, get your
coin.
AARON DAVIS
Whatever you say, man.
Aaron walks over and grabs a drachma.
Beck goes over to Ash, offering a handshake.
QUENTIN BECK
Thanks for everything. We’ll put in
a good word for you at the big
gates.
ASH WILLIAMS
When you get up there, tell
Linda... I'll see her soon.
Beck smiles, pausing briefly in his handshake. He switches
positions to shake with Ash’s working hand, then marches onto
the canoe.
QUENTIN BECK
You bet I will! Now, ride on!
AARON DAVIS
Take care of yourself Ash!
He waves goodbye as he makes his way to the canoe.
CHARON
And we’re off! υπέρτερος!
The canoe turns onto another stream, moving upward and
upward.
A light shines as the rower pockets the drachma, and the
skies open up above them.
SOUNDTRACK END: [UNSQUARE DANCE - DAVE BRUBECK]
AARON DAVIS
We're in...?
MR. DITKOVICH
Before I answer I must say. I know
you. Elvis Fletcher. We were in
Cold War, yes?
Mr. Ditkovich then looks at a sheet of paper.
MR. DITKOVICH (CONT’D)
Do not worry. You'll be out of here
in no time.
Beck grins, then recognizes the man behind the desk.
QUENTIN BECK
KENT BLAKE, you sly dog! I knew I
could count on you!
Beck turns to Aaron, a gleam in his eyes.
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
We’re in! We beat the odds! We’ve
won our laurels!
AARON DAVIS
We did it?
His eyes widen.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
We did it! Hahaha! We made it!
MR. DITKOVICH
Yes you did but....
Mr. Diktovich then smiles and looks back at the paper.
MR. DITKOVICH (CONT’D)
You must wait until sentence is
served. Not too bad!
He gives a thumbs up.
Aaron's celebration turns into defeat.
AARON DAVIS
Our... what?
Beck looks back over, then puts his hand on the desk.
60.
QUENTIN BECK
Well, it’s not too bad, right?
You...you’d put in a good word for
us, right? Old pal?
MR. DITKOVICH
Welll....
Mr. Diktovich looks at the paper and adjusts his glasses. He
then pulls out a calculator and begins adding up the numbers.
He presses the '=' sign. He turns it sideways. He frowns.
MR. DITKOVICH (CONT’D)
Bad news.
Aaron facepalms and groans.
Beck turns to Aaron, then shrugs, an arrogant grin on his
face.
QUENTIN BECK
Hey, you know, we survived Hell. We
beat demons. How bad could it be?
QUENTIN BECK (CONT’D)
Besides, look around you! What’s
this city ever done for us?!
AARON DAVIS
I can think of a few.
Around them, the city is lively with activity, though they
seem to be invisible. This is their sentencing, after all.
Spider-Man swings by with BLACK CAT by his side, the sun
gleaming down on his silver webbing and her shiny dark
costume.
After a pause, Aaron nudges Beck.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
Hey, take a look at what's down
there!
SOUNDTRACK START: [BIRDLAND - WEATHER REPORT]
The sun then shines below onto the streets of New York.
It’s the Shocker Mobile, with the Shock at the wheel and
Rhino hanging off the end of the buggy!
Despite Rhino’s feet sweeping through the corner of a
building, they seem to be heisting better than before.
Hot on their tail is a group of ARMED, SILVER-CLOTHED
MERCENARY LOOKALIKES, but they’re not very effective against
the superior engineering of the Shocker.
Aaron lets out a hearty laugh and grins.
AARON DAVIS (CONT’D)
Reminds me of the old days.
SOUNDTRACK END: [BIRDLAND - WEATHER REPORT]
Beck nods, and several small drops of water seem to fall as
he does.
QUENTIN BECK
Yeah...they’ve really...gone far,
huh?
AARON DAVIS
Yeah...
Tears begin to fall from his face.
62.
QUENTIN BECK
Then we designed our tools, and we
realized Jack was a psycho, so we
turned on him and did our own
heist! Moon Knight got involved,
and Big Wheel too!
AARON DAVIS
I take it back!
QUENTIN BECK
Don’t forget that part with—
AARON DAVIS
BECK!
THE PORTAL TO HELL CLOSES, AND THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT. IT’S THE
‘O’ IN HOLLYWOOD.
Suddenly, from his foot, a slithering noise can be heard.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
The hell?
Ash looks down at his chainsaw.
A small, shining piece of the Symbiote jumps from the
chainsaw, slithering up his body and nuzzling his right arm.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
Yeah? What's your deal, little
fella?
The Symbiote suddenly springs inside the chainsaw attached to
his arm, pushing out various components as it seems to force
it off.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
Oh shit! Shit, shit, shit! Get out
of there you son of a...
Suddenly, the chainsaw goes flying, and Ash’s arm has...a new
hand on it. It’s black, but it’s a hand, fitted perfectly to
his arm.
Ash grabs the hand, attempting to pull it off.
The hand seems to move perfectly in sync, stretching as Ash’s
wrist motions to do so, then splays itself outwards with his
motions. The Symbiote purrs, almost distressed.
ASH WILLIAMS (CONT’D)
What, you don't like that? Okay...
Ash moves the hand around, attempting to open and close it.
66.
