"Stupid dumb cluck," said Steve Brown. "Let's get out of here!"

They rushed to the exit door, but Leatherface blocked it, revving his chainsaw for dramatic effect.

"Look," yelled Steve Brown, above the noise, "that flight of stairs over on the left; if we can get to it--" He stopped in mid-sentence as Freddy and Jason bounded down those same stone steps. Their escape was blocked again.

"Well, that's a bug in it, isn't it?" said Zoc.

As Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface moved closer, Zoc, Steve Brown, and Glenor Glenda were pressed up against the cold stone wall with nowhere to run. The pressure from their backs triggered a mechanism, and with a swoosh they whirled around into a narrow corridor and away from the advancing horror in the other room.

"Damn, that was a stroke of luck!" said Zoc. "Nothing like finding a hidden passageway through a revolving secret door in the wall — in the nick of time, I always say."

"Hello Iloz, Steve, and Glenor," said a voice from the darkness down the hall.

"Who's that?" asked Steve Brown.

A squeaking sound echoed off the walls. A tricycle slowly rolled toward them and into the light.

"I am Jigsaw. Would you like to play a game?" said a voice coming from the tape recorder hanging around the creepy puppet's neck on the tricycle.

"Aaaaggghhhhh!" yelled Zoc, Steve Brown, and Glenor all at once, and frantically pressed up against the wall again. "Get us out of here!"

The wall swooshed around. They found themselves once again facing down Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface. "Talk about rocks and hard places," said Zoc.

Just as Leatherface revved his chainsaw and swung it above his head, and Freddy raised his razor bladed gloved hand, the entrance door exploded off its hinges. In a plume of smoke and shower of splinters, three more puppets raced into the room.

"Hey, is that Mike Mercury?" said Zoc in surprise.

"Who?" asked Glenor.

"Mike Mercury, you know, the guy who flew that Supercar around. A series done in the '60s, by Gerry Anderson using his supermarionation techniques." said Zoc, clearly showing his age. "Hey! It is him. There's Mitch the monkey, and Jimmy. Lord, I don't know who was more annoying, the kid or the monkey."

"Definitely the monkey," said Steve Brown. "I hated that Chim Chim chimp in Speed Racer, too."

Mike Mercury, the monkey, and Jimmy ran to the stairs. "Follow us if you want to live!" yelled Mercury.

Iloz Zoc, Steve Brown, and Glenor ran over to the stairs, with Freddy, Jason and Leatherface in pursuit. Mitch the monkey jumped on Freddy's back and pulled his hat down over his eyes. Not seeing where he was going, Freddy tripped over Jason's big shoes right into Leatherface's chainsaw. Blood and guts splattered all around.
