[♪♪]

[Eerie wind howls]

[Overlapping excited chatter,

[Saying farewells]

[♪♪]

Have a great time!

I will.

- I'll miss you.
- Have fun.

[Overlapping]: bye!

Bye.

[♪♪]

[Excited chatter,

[Indistinct]

[♪♪]

Hey, amelia.

Did you get shipped off

To camp lame-o again

This year, too?

- I thought you weren't
- coming back

This year, meg.

My parents

Have to work.

This place

Is such a drag.

You know what?

I'm kind of excited.

I think this is gonna be

The best year yet.

Dream on.

Well, maybe if we ditch

The new losers...

Actually, I want to

Get to know the new campers.

They seem nice.

Hey. I'm amelia.

I'm lisa.

[Amelia]: I hope

We're in the same group.

[Amelia and lisa giggle]

[Justine]: "cricket."

"Cricket."

- And... "Robin"
- and...

We're "crickets!"

Oh... You too?

[Justine]: okay, great!

Let's go!

Crickets, you're with me.

[♪♪]

All right!

Oh! Wait for me!

[Justine chuckles]

Okay, everybody!

Choose a bunk. Any bunk.

Right through here.

Welcome.

[Crickets chattering]

Sorry. Already taken.

Don't get fooled by

Her little miss sunshine act.

Amelia's a total jerk

Once you get to know her.

She seems pretty nice to me.

I'm glad we're bunkmates.

This ought to be a scream.

[♪♪]

You're gonna love this!

It's a pine mountain tradition.

First thing, first day,

We make... These.

They kind of look

Like spider webs.

They're "dreamcatchers."

- Well, they catch
- all your bad dreams,

- So that, by the time
- you wake up in the morning,

Your nightmares

Have disappeared.

So, first things first,

- After you've woven
- the string around,

You're gonna add the bead.

The bead is, of course,

"The spider."

This is so lame.

[Birds singing]

Go ahead! Let's see.

[♪♪]

[Justine]: beautiful!

Wow! Everybody, look at lisa's.

It's perfect!

[Laughs]

- Lisa, could I get you
- to help the other girls?

You're a natural.

Sure!

Great.

[Mockingly]:

"You're a natural."

[Industrious indistinct chatter]

[♪♪]

[Owl hooting in distance]

Hey, new girl...

You're not scared...

Being away from

Home, are you?

No.

[♪♪]

[Clattering]

[Marble rolling]

You know, there's a camp legend

About dreamcatchers.

20 Years ago,

There was a tragedy

Here at pine mountain.

One of the campers...

Died...

[Gasps]

In her sleep.

Did she...

Sleepwalk into the lake

Or something?

Story goes...

She had nightmares.

Like, wake-up-sweaty,

Screaming kind of nightmares.

She said she saw

Some kind of bogeyman

That she called

"The...

Dream catcher."

[Shivering in fear]

She said he took away

All her good dreams,

And every time

She closed her eyes,

He was there,

Ready to grab her.

- Oh, she kept saying
- he was real,

But, of course,

No one believed her...

Until it happened.

What?

She stopped sleeping completely,

- But that makes you
- go crazy.

So, she went

Out of her mind...

Wandered around

Like a zombie...

And she started

Seeing things

That were so... Awful...

[♪♪]

Like the bogeyman?

Finally...

She just couldn't

Stay up any longer...

And she fell

Into a deep...

Deep...

Sleep.

But the next morning,

They found her,

Just lying

In her bunk,

All glassy-eyed...

Staring straight up

At nothing.

Just a look

Of absolute terror

On her face.

Dead.

- [Meg yells, amelia shrieks,
- other girls gasp]

Don't fall asleep...

Or else the dream catcher

Might get you!

[Gasps and whimpers]

It's okay. Meg!

Why would you tell her

That story?

- Justine,
- is that story true?

What do you think?

- You don't believe
- in bogeymen, do you?

So, are you saying

That a camper didn't

Die here, justine?

Look...

That was a really long time ago,

Okay?

Way before

We were even born.

- Plus, you girls have
- your dreamcatchers, right?

You should be

Just fine.

Now go to sleep.

Good night.

Good night, justine.

Sweet dreams.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Lisa gasps]

Justine?

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Crickets chirping]

[Door creaking]

Justine?

[Counselors chuckling]

- Sorry to bother
- you, but...

What's wrong, lisa?

[♪♪]

[Counselors laughing evilly]

[Laughter echoing darkly]

[Gasping in terror]

[Laughter echoing]

[Sinister hissing

[And growling]

[Smugly]: bad dream?

[Wheezing and gasping]

Must've been a doozy.

Freak.

[Campers chatting

[And bustling]

[♪♪]

- [Amelia]: I didn't sleep
- good at all last night.

I had

The creepiest dream.

[Lisa]: me too.

I had the worst nightmare.

Excuse me!

What's the deal

With meg?

[Amelia sighs]

We used to be friends.

It was all about her.

- And she used
- to get weird

When I'd talk

To other girls.

[♪♪]

What... What's wrong,

Amelia?

- This place
- was in my nightmare.

- [Meg, taunting]:
- "woo-ooh-ooh.

Sca-a-ary."

I was in that cave.

I couldn't move...

I felt something

Brush against my face.

So... I looked up...

[Amelia screams,

[Echoing and distorted]

He was hideous.

His breath was foul,

And he moved like

A giant spider.

Hello?

We walk by this cave

Every summer!

Remember? Last year, we hid

From the counselor in there?

[♪♪]

[Sighs]

Did... Did he make

A hissing noise?

Well, yeah!

Amelia...

The same thing

Happened in my nightmare.

There was

This evil spider-guy.

[♪♪]

[Quiet whispering]

- Maybe it's just
- a coincidence.

- Guess the dreamcatchers
- don't work so well after all.

Ours are broken.

[Realizing]:

You cut them!

Why would you

Do that?

Gee. Um... I don't know.

I mean, you're both

Such awesome friends...

Only to each other.

- Meg, you broke
- the tradition.

Are you serious?

It's a camp legend

- To get you to do
- their stupid arts and crafts

And care about it.

It's a piece of string

And a twig!

- But the bead
- is missing!

[Mocking their fear]:

"Not the spider!"

What's going on?

- Justine,
- meg cut our dreamcatchers!

Meg!

- Kitchen duty
- for three days.

What? That's not fair!

I never even touched them.

[Scoffs in disgust]

Go.

[Door slams]

Justine...

Listen, don't let meg

Get under your skin. Okay?

Your dreamcatchers

Are still very pretty.

[Her footsteps recede]

They just won't work.

[♪♪]

Amelia...

Are you awake?

Are you okay?

I'm too afraid to sleep.

I know, me too.

What if he comes back?

Shh!

[♪♪]

[Owl hooting]

There's only one way

For him not to get us

For sure.

My mom never lets me

Stay up all night.

[They chuckle quietly]

[Bed creaks]

[♪♪]

[Birds singing]

[Weary yawning]

You don't

Look so good.

You either.

But... At least

We're still here.

[Meg]: how long do you think

You two losers can go

Without sleeping?

- -Maybe I better tell justine.
- -No!

[Perky]: all right, girls!

Big day planned today!

20-Mile canoe trip!

[Both groaning]

Justine, did you know

That lisa and amelia...

Want to be first boat?

Great! Up you get, then!

- You guys
- can lead the way.

Let's go! Up you get!

Let's go-go-go!

Grab your boots.

Oh, come on, meg, you can

Help me with the canoes.

[Birds singing,

[Campers bustling]

[Ominous chords rise]

[♪♪]

[Flames crackling]

[Strums chords]

Just one more?

[Kids pleading for music]

Yeah, justine?

Please?

Just one more?

[Justine]:

So nice to see you getting

- Into the spirit
- of things, meg!

I know...

♪ There was an old lady ♪

♪ Who swallowed a spider ♪

- Come on, you guys!
- You have to sing!

♪ That wiggled and wiggled ♪

[Voices distorting darkly]:

♪ And tickled inside her ♪

♪ She swallowed

The spider ♪

♪ To catch the fly ♪

♪ I don't know why ♪

♪ She swallowed the fly ♪

[Menacingly]:

♪ Perhaps she'll die! ♪

Lisa! Wake up.

Lisa?

- -Go get help!
- -Okay!

Lisa!

[Confused murmuring]

Lisa?

- You fell asleep
- sitting up.

[Campers murmuring]

He was in my nightmare.

Enough!

There's no such thing

As the bogeyman.

Okay?

All right, everyone.

No more scary stories!

- Let's go to bed.
- Everyone. Go.

Let's go.

- Oh, my gosh.
- It's okay!

[Justine]: come on.

Grab your stuff.

- Things from the dream
- actually happened, amelia.

- If we sleep,
- he can hurt us.

Okay, I don't wanna

Listen to this all night.

I'm going to find

Somewhere quiet to sleep.

I'll be in the mess hall.

- I have to set
- an alarm.

[Watch beeps]

We can't go to sleep.

My mom packed

A ton of chocolate.

[Fizzing]

Okay? Here you go.

[Both giggling]

Just chug it, okay?

Together...

[Slurping and giggling]

[♪♪]

I feel like

My hair's standing up.

Me too.

- And I have to
- go to the bathroom.

I'll be right here

When you get back.

What?

[♪♪]

Um... Okay.

[♪♪]

[Clicks light on]

Stay awake, okay?

I'm way too wired

To even think about sleeping.

[Door creaks open]

[♪♪]

[Creaking]

[♪♪]

[Electricity buzzing

[And flickering]

[Shuts faucet off]

[Sighs anxiously]

[Thuds and shatters]

[♪♪]

[Creak]

- [Shrieking
- as dream catcher hisses]

[♪♪]

[Soul whooshing]

Amelia! Wake up!

[Dream catcher

[Hissing viciously]

[Amelia]: lisa, help!

Lisa! Help!

[♪♪]

Amelia?

- [Distorted cry]:
- lisa! Help me!

[Lisa shrieks]

[Gasps]

You're keeping me awake

With all your yelling!

- I thought you went
- to sleep somewhere else.

I did. I could hear you

All the way to the mess hall.

Meg, listen. It's real.

This is serious.

The dream catcher has amelia.

Look, you brought this on.

Help me get her back.

Not my friend...

Not my problem.

You woke me up

Before I could save her.

- She's trapped
- inside the dream!

Meg, please!

I'm begging you.

We have to work together.

She ditched me for you.

You deal with it.

- I'm going
- back to sleep,

In the mess hall.

[♪♪]

[Bushes rustling]

[♪♪]

[Relieved]: meg.

I'll go...

But only because loser girl

Might actually be lost.

Okay.

[♪♪]

The cavern's not too far

From here.

[♪♪]

Meg?

[♪♪]

Meg? Please, come back!

[♪♪]

[Mutters to self]:

See how you like being ditched.

[Eerie silence settles]

Lisa?

Okay... Good luck

Finding your way back alone!

[♪♪]

[Amelia]: help me!

Amelia?

- [Distorted, echoing]:
- help me, lisa!

Meg!

Amelia's in the cave!

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Breath shaking anxiously]

[♪♪]

[Ragged breathing]

Amelia?

Amelia, where are you?

[Echoing, distorted cry]:

Someone, help me...

Please, help me!

[Lisa's cry, echoing]:

Hang on, I'm coming.

[♪♪]

Amelia!

[Hisses]

[Lisa breathing raggedly]

Amelia?

[Lisa whimpers]

Amelia?

- [Echoing]:
- lisa! Help me!

I'm over here!

[Both whimpering]

Are you okay?

He's here,

In this web.

No. It's okay.

We're going to

Get out, all right?

[Dream catcher hisses]

Come on!

[Gasping]

Run!

Amelia, wait!

[Hissing echoes ominously]

- -Where is he?
- -Just keep moving!

I can't. I'm stuck!

I'm stuck!

I can't move!

[Both grunting intensely]

[Grunting and gasping]

[Meg]: well, well, well...

I guess good friends

Stick together.

- Meg! You came back!
- Help us, please!

Meg, hurry!

He's coming.

What are you doing?

I'm an only child.

I don't like sharing.

[Amelia and lisa whimpering]

[Meg gasps]

[Girls whimpering and sobbing]

[Growling]

[Shrieking]

[Watch alarm starts beeping]

- Your alarm!
- We're gonna be okay!

You went to sleep

Outside the cabin.

You didn't want

To be woken up.

You're still dreaming!

[Echoing]: still dreaming!

[Alarm beeping]

No! No!

I'm awake!

I'm awake!

If you were awake...

I wouldn't be here.

[Shrieking in terror]
