Creeping Death (2023)

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music playing]

[music concludes]

Really? Candy corn. Disgusting.

Right? They used to give us

full size candy bars.

- [screams]

- [girls scream]

Well, you can blame inflation.

You ungrateful little shits,

it's free candy.

[blows candle]

[whispers]

Spoiled little f*ck.

You get all dressed up,

you go buy candy,

just trying to make kids happy,

you dress up like a scarecrow.

[knocking on door]

Er. I'm all done for the night.

[knocking continues]

Can you not hear?

I'm out of candy. All right?

[thudding on door]

You're a little old

to be trick or treating.

Yeah. All right.

I... I got a little bit left.

All right, dude, it's all I got.

All right?

I get it.

You're creeping me to death.

Did you smash my pumpkin?

[scoffs] It's a holiday.

So I'm gonna give you

the count of five

to get the f*ck out of here.

Or you and I,

we're gonna have a problem.

Five.

[eerie music playing]

[groans]

[groans]

[music concludes]

[whimsical music playing]

Wow, Tim,

you must be ready for Halloween.

I see you already

have your mask on.

Yeah. Funny, Miss Quigley.

That's a new one.

Oh, and please.

Give my best to your mother.

I will. Happy Halloween.

- Happy Halloween.

- [music concludes]

[cell phone ringing]

- Tramer!

- What's up!

You figure out your costume yet?

Yeah, I'm actually

working on it right now.

Hey, what time we meeting up?

Oh, after I finish handing out

candy, maybe six-ish?

All right, yeah, cool.

Hey, before I forget.

Hey, this looks like

the Red Baron, right?

'Cause I don't want

people thinking I'm, like,

Amelia Earhart or something.

- Yeah, you look fine.

- [Isaac sighs deeply]

Hey, is that Tim?

Yo, Tim.

Hey, you still gonna be

our DD tonight?

[sighs] I didn't know I was...

Awesome. Cool.

We'll see you later.

[Tramer]

You gonna wash your hands or?

[sighs]

Hey, we can get another ride.

Nah. It's fine.

I wasn't gonna

drink tonight anyways.

[scoffs] Why?

'Cause you're a lightweight?

No, 'cause I know

I'm either gonna get stuck

pulling you

or Isaac off the car later.

- [wood breaking]

- sh*t.

I gotta go. I'll uh...

I'll text you

when I'm on the way.

All right. Later, bro.

I'm so winning this

costume contest, this year.

[Tim] Hey, Mr. Hawthorne.

Let me help you with that.

I don't need help.

It's no problem, really.

I got it. [pants]

[ominous music playing]

- I said I don't need help.

- [groans]

- Now, get!

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

Didn't mean to what?

Get involved in some place

you don't belong.

Hey! What's going on up there?

- [Tim pants] No I...

- Huh?

Oh.

Get!

Look, I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean

to cause a problem.

Boy, you mess

with someone's problems,

you best be ready

to face some consequences.

[engine starts]

[music concludes]

[theme music playing]

[music concludes]

[radio host] What is up,

Ashville?

It is All Hallows Eve.

Don't forget to light

those jack o' lanterns

to ward off the evil spirits

coming to your door

this evening.

[radio announcer groans]

In another week,

you're gonna tell me

to get ready to leave out

cookies and milk...

so I can get some presents

from a big fat guy

wearing a red suit. h*, h*, h*!

Okay, Ashville listeners,

enough of this superstitious BS.

Coming up next

is a new spooky track

to get you

into the Halloween spirit.

[laughs maniacally]

["Pumpkin Smash" playing]

I was carving up

A pumpkin on Halloween night

To ward off the spirits

That cause a fright

The wind grew loud

And I heard a sound

I knocked my pumpkin

Right to the ground

The pumpkin smash

My pumpkin went splat

The pumpkin smash

Thought it was

Harder than that

The pumpkin smash

Luckily, I bought two

The pumpkin smash

What face should I do?

I grabbed my knife...

Hey, I know you're gonna grab

a rake and finish off

these leaves, right?

I know you're not gonna wear

those damn shorts anymore,

right?

What's wrong with these shorts?

Look around. They're scarier

than the lawn decorations.

[ominous music playing]

[music concludes]

Oh yeah, well, they don't

scare off your mom.

She likes a little extra skin.

- [chuckles]

- Oh, please, just stop.

[chuckles] Hey,

before you go inside though.

There's been

a change of plans tonight.

Like, what?

I'm supposed to go out tonight.

- I know. I understand...

- [police siren wailing]

[pensive music playing]

Hold that thought.

- [Fred] Howdy, Officer Wes.

- Hello, Fred.

- Tim.

- [music concludes]

How you both holding up?

We're fine.

Taking things day by day.

What brings you out here?

A couple houses in the area

seem to have been vandalized

early this morning.

Seems like

the owners are all out of town.

The strange thing is, though,

we got several calls

on missing pets.

I don't know if it's related,

but have you guys noticed

anything suspicious,

out of the ordinary?

- Nah.

- Mm-mm.

Been quiet around here,

hoping it stays that way.

You know how it gets around

Halloween time.

Yeah, don't I know.

I'm gonna be out patrolling

the streets regardless,

so if either of you see

anything suspicious,

- call me A.S.A.P. Please.

- We will, Officer.

- [Officer Wes] All right.

- Hey, be safe tonight.

- [Officer Wes] You as well.

- Watch out for this guy.

You can count on it.

Hey, hold up a sec.

Look, I'm working a double now.

I need you to stay here

all night long.

[sighs]

Work can't find anyone else?

[scoffs] I wish.

Look, I know

you want to spend Halloween

with your friends and all,

but I just don't want these

late night trick or treaters

pestering your mom

all night long.

Can't we just leave

the porch lights off?

Come on. You know

they're still going

to ring the doorbell.

Yeah. You're right.

- What time you gotta leave?

- Right now.

I gotta be there at eleven.

Here, take this.

It's a couple minutes fast,

but I set the alarm

for seven and twelve

and that's when you check

on your mom.

I'll set an alarm on my phone.

[Fred] No, no, no. Take this.

It's more reliable

than your phone.

You're always tic tacking

and facegramming.

I'll take the damn thing!

Okay, I'll wear the watch.

- [Fred] Thank you.

- Uh-huh.

Hey, look,

I know things have been tough,

but your mother and I

are really appreciative

of all the sacrifices

you've made

and I just want you

to know that.

[sighs]

It's nothing Dad, really.

Proud of you son.

Proud of the man

you're becoming.

Here, come here.

Really appreciate it.

- [watch alarm beeping]

- Oh. f*ck. Gotta go.

Here, take this.

Hey, have fun tonight,

all right?

Love you bud.

[sighs] Love you, too.

[car indicator beeping]

[somber music playing]

- [music concludes]

- [door shuts]

Hey, did you see

the yard decorations?

[Tim] Yeah. They look great.

What are you doing?

[Tim] Looking for something.

Like maybe this?

Yeah. Exactly that.

- Tim?

- Yeah?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on

is I nearly get beaten

getting f*cking pumpkins

for you this morning

so we can carve 'em later.

My friends want me

to babysit them tonight,

and now Dad's making me

stay home and take care of you.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

It's been a long morning.

I know it has.

Take a deep breath.

[both breathe]

[Linda] Try to slow down.

Life is...

so very short.

I want to make sure

you enjoy it.

What are you doing?

I'm having fun.

[chuckles softly]

I'm not twelve anymore.

I know.

But you will always be...

my little baby.

- [oven timer dings]

- [gasps]

Cookies! Please, hurry,

go get the cookies.

The Halloween shaped ones?

- Yes!

- [Tim] Yes.

I don't need to frost em, do I?

[Linda] No. They need to cool.

[chuckles]

[coughs]

- [munches]

- [cookie sizzling]

Oh, sh*t!

- Damn it.

- [objects falling]

You did make

more of these, right?

[suspenseful music playing]

Mom, Mom, Mom. [pants]

- [Linda pants]

- Mom you're gonna be okay.

[Tim] You got this,

I'm right here.

- Oh, God.

- [Linda groans]

I'm gonna put you on your side.

[pants]

[groans]

[groans, coughs]

[music concludes]

- [Tim] I'm right here.

- [retches]

- [pants]

- That's it, Mom.

Just breathe. Just breathe.

You're gonna be okay.

All right? I'm right here.

Do you recognize me? [pants]

Do you recognize my voice?

It's me, Tim, okay?

It's your son.

I'm gonna take care of you, okay?

- [pants] Okay.

- [somber music playing]

I'm gonna pick you up.

All right?

And bring you upstairs

right now.

All right. [pants]

I got you.

You've got it. [pants]

All right. [pants]

[pants]

- [coughs]

- Just sit back.

[pants]

[coughs]

You need to take these.

Here, drink this. [pants]

[Linda coughs]

All right, Mom, you just had

a minor seizure, okay?

You just need some rest

and you'll be okay. [pants]

Just get some rest.

I'll come check on you later, okay?

I'll be okay.

[coughing]

[somber music continues]

[music concludes]

[pensive music playing]

[Olive Oil over TV]

From these ingredients,

the witches brew

their magic potion.

[music concludes]

- [cell phone vibrating]

- [sighs]

What's going on?

[Tramer] Dude,

what happened to six?

Oh, sh*t, man.

I'm sorry. I meant to text ya.

- I can't make it tonight.

- [Tramer] What? Why not?

And hobgoblins.

[Tim] I had to stay with my mom,

my dad's working late.

[Tramer] Damn, dude, that sucks.

You're totally missing

your shot.

[sighs] Yeah?

What shot is that?

[Tramer]

Danielle, bro, she's here!

What?

Why didn't you tell me that?

- [Tramer] I tried to, but...

- [breaking news alert blares]

Good evening.

I'm Tiffany Warlock.

This just in.

We're receiving multiple reports

about strange events

transpiring this Hallows eve.

Live on scene is our field

reporter, Paulie Siglionie.

Thanks, Tiff.

As you can see,

the house behind me

seems to have been

trick or treated to death.

[Tramer] Yo!

- Hold on a sec.

- [Paulie] Since this morning,

multiple homes have been found

with their windows shattered

and their doors kicked in.

Dude, have you seen

the news tonight?

- [Tramer] No, what's going on?

- Weird thing is

all of these homes

have a strange symbol marking

the outside that experts believe

is connected to the occult.

I don't know.

Looks like a bunch of homes

are getting broken into.

[Tramer]

Eh, it's probably just kids.

Why would kids do something

this messed up?

[Tramer] It's Halloween.

Does this really surprise you?

[Paulie] Mysteriously enough,

we cannot question the owners.

As they all seem

to have abandoned

their homes

in the past few hours.

[Tramer] Hello.

We ask residents

to please contact

the local authorities

with any information.

[Tramer] Tim.

This is Paulie Siglionie

in Ashville.

- [Tramer] Tim.

- [Paulie] Happy Halloween.

[Tramer] You still there?

Yo! Hello.

- [doorbell ringing]

- [Tramer] Anyway, uh,

I think we're gonna

get out of here soon.

This party is kind of lame, so,

I mean,

if you wanna hang out later,

just give us a call.

Ashville Police

are advising everyone

to stay indoors and not answer

for any unexpected visitors.

[knocking]

Authorities are also asking...

- [Tramer] Tim.

- citizens to keep...

a lookout for any of these...

- missing persons.

- [Tramer] Hey. Tim.

They haven't been seen

by their families

since this morning.

[Tramer] Why are you

ignoring me, man?

[knocking continues]

[Tramer] Tim, hello?

[Tramer]

Dude, are you still there?

[knocking on door continues]

[Tramer] Earth to Tim. Hello.

[knocking intensifies]

[Tramer] Do you know how

to have a conversation, dude?

Come on.

Hello?

[children] Trick or treat!

[children chattering, giggling]

- [children] Thank you!

- Uh-huh...

[Tramer] What the hell was that?

- [watch alarm beeping]

- [Tim sighs]

Sorry, it was just some trick

or treaters.

[Tramer] Oh, trick or treaters

on Halloween. [chuckles]

- Weird.

- Hey, I gotta go.

Tell Danielle I said "hey".

[Tramer]

Yeah, I'll try to come up

with something better

than "hey".

[clicks tongue] Sounds good.

[Nate] You're a star.

You're a star, Nate.

Just nobody knows it yet.

Definitely gonna break

300 views with this one.

[exhales sharply]

- sh*t. God damn wind.

- [chuckles]

[Tramer] You have to unravel

it first you idiot.

[Nate] Shut up.

Get me another one.

Fine. Make it count though.

This sh*t's not easy to come by.

Nice throw.

[Tramer mocking]

[Nate exhales sharply]

[Nate] sh*t.

Go, go, go, go, go.

[crowd laughing]

[pants] sh*t, please tell me

you got that?

Yeah but I don't think you're

gonna wanna post this one.

Let me see.

Dude! Of course,

I can't post this sh*t.

I'm about to break

700 followers.

These angles suck.

Yes, Nate.

It's definitely the angles.

[all chuckling]

You know, this is why

you never got into film school.

You know nothing

about cinematography.

- Oh, and you do? [chuckles]

- [chuckles]

Guys, what are we doing?

I thought we were going

to be partying all night.

Babe, relax.

The party goes where we go.

Well, babe, this party sucks.

[mocks] Well, babe, number one.

Who, what and why she's here?

- Wait. Didn't you follow us?

- Mm.

Ah. Yeah, only because I thought

there would be a DD?

Hey, what happened to Tim?

Didn't you tell him

Danielle was coming?

Tim was gonna come?

Yeah, he was supposed to,

but he had a family thing.

Ah. Gotcha.

Yeah but maybe we could call him

and he could give us a ride

because he still has to RSVP

to your going away party.

- You invited him?

- Wait, what party?

What party?

Of course, I invited him.

Well, whatever we're not going

anywhere until we do this...

One. Last. Thing.

[Linda] Tim?

Is that you?

Yeah, Mom, it's me.

- How you feeling?

- [sighs]

I've been worse.

[sighs] I know.

You never did say how many

drinks you had the other night.

[Linda coughing]

Not enough. [coughs]

Yeah, me neither.

- [sighs] What time is it?

- [Tim] It's just after seven.

Did we get

a lot of kids tonight?

Mm. Not as many as last year.

Is there candy left?

- No.

- Oh, thank God.

I don't want your father

having any.

He still thinks he looks good

in those damn shorts.

- [coughs]

- [chuckles] Yeah.

I've been trying

to talk to him about that.

[coughs]

I should get up

and clean up that mess.

No, Mom, Mom, just lay down.

I already took care of it.

[gasps]

- Just lay back down.

- Honey,

you didn't need to do that.

It's fine.

It's not right.

You shouldn't have to take care

of your mother,

at your age.

I'm sorry.

You have nothing to be

sorry for.

I'm not ready to die.

But I cannot...

live like this.

[somber music playing]

[Tim] It's gonna get better.

It's got to.

[coughs]

You should be out

with your friends.

You should be with a girl.

You should be chasing

your dreams.

Not supporting your parents.

[coughs]

We could've gotten help.

We can't afford the extra help.

[coughs] I could have...

I could've gotten a remote job.

I could've... [coughs]

Sold the house.

[Tim] Mom.

We are family...

and this is what we do.

You have always been

my beautiful boy.

- [whimpers]

- Love you.

[sighs] I love you too.

- [coughs]

- Get some more sleep.

I'll have Dad wake you

when he gets home.

Okay, honey.

Good night. [coughing]

Good night.

[coughs lightly]

[music concludes]

[eerie music playing]

[Nate] Come on, come on,

come on, quick, come here.

[Isaac] Oh, oh.

[Tramer] This guy's been

running us off the road

since we were in diapers.

- Yeah. He never did that to me.

- Yeah, me neither.

Yeah only 'cause he wanted

to lure the young T'n'A

in the back of his truck.

[all chuckle]

This guy's got a new

paint job coming.

f*ck it. We've got

some sh*t to spare.

- Roll this, all right?

- [sighs] Fine.

- [Nate] Okay ready?

- [Isaac] Yeah.

- One.

- One.

- [Nate] Two.

- [Isaac] Two.

- Three.

- Three.

[PJ] Oh, sh*t.

[eerie music continues]

[music concludes]

[Tramer] We need to

get out of here.

Not without that bag.

[Danielle] Nate,

are you serious?

- That is just garbage.

- [PJ] Yeah.

It's Halloween, he wouldn't

just leave it out there

if you don't

want someone to take it.

This is a stupid idea.

Let's go.

- Yeah, let's go.

- I agree.

Wait, wait!

Guys. It just hit me.

You haven't participated

in tonight's activities.

You go get the f*cking bag.

I'm not going anywhere near

that house, dude.

Okay, well, Amelia Earhart

and I over here

already did our part.

- Your turn.

- Oh, my God.

- Go get the bag.

- [gasps]

[eerie music playing]

[Danielle] Tramer,

you do not have to do this.

[Nate] Just stop. It's fine.

He'll be fine.

[Isaac] It's just a quick

in n' out.

[PJ] Yeah, just like you, right?

[Danielle] And what happens

when he gets caught?

Believe it or not, I don't feel

like getting arrested tonight.

[Nate] Isn't your dad a cop?

- [Danielle] Yes, Nate.

- Hey, this was Nate's idea.

[PJ] Yeah but Nate's

your shitty friend.

It's on you, too.

Yeah, well,

I'm everyone's shitty friend.

- No we're leaving.

- Let's go.

- [music concludes]

- [grunts]

[all chuckle]

[Nate] Oh, sh*t.

[ominous music playing]

[grunts]

[Mr. Brownstone] What the hell

do you think you're doing, boy?

You bring that back now.

[music concludes]

sh*t.

Little shits have no idea

what they're doin'.

[soft music playing]

[cell phone chimes]

[soft music continues]

[cell phone chimes]

[leaves rustling in distance]

[music concludes]

[ominous music playing]

[ominous music continues]

[Tim grunts]

[music concludes]

[Nate] Dude, stop making

so much noise.

- [Isaac] Sorry.

- [Nate] Ready?

- [Isaac] Let. Us. In.

- [Nate] Let. Us. In.

Dude! You have no f*cking idea

what just happened.

Oh, my God. Calm down.

[Tim] Guys,

what are you doing here?

Making sure you're still alive,

'cause last I thought

you were gonna give us a ride.

Huh? What? Where's Tramer?

Didn't he tell you guys?

[Nate] Tell us what?

[Tramer]

That you're a f*cking as*h*le.

Oh, my God, dude.

I didn't think you'd

actually go through with it.

I am impressed.

That is the last time

I ever listen to you.

Oh, my God, dude,

calm your t*ts.

That guy's basically

a walking corpse.

- He wasn't gonna do anything.

- Really.

He put a f*cking shotgun

to my face.

What'd you think

he was gonna do?

Guys.

Where did you get this?

These shitheads made me take it

off of Hawthorne's porch.

Uh. Nobody forced you.

I saw the sack in the back

of his truck earlier.

I was trying to help him

move stuff

and he was ready to strangle me.

Sounds about right.

The guy's a f*cking whack job.

I wonder what's in this

whack job"s dirty sack.

Ew. Hopefully your brain.

[chuckles]

You gonna let us in or what?

I need a f*cking drink.

Yeah, I'm f*cking freezing.

I really shouldn't guys.

My mom's upstairs

resting right now.

Tim, let us in.

We came all this way.

Just gonna

leave us out in the cold?

My n*pples are as hard as rocks.

Hey, just,

leave this out here man.

Oh, dude.

Stop being such a p*ssy.

I just want to see what's in it.

Excuse me. God.

I need to wash my face.

- You know where the bathroom is.

- [PJ sighs] Thanks Timmy.

- Anytime.

- [chuckles]

- Hey Tim.

- Hey, uh, Danielle.

Oh, hey, what is that?

A Lucy costume?

- Yeah.

- [Tim] Make that one yourself?

No. Thank God.

It would be terrible if I did.

What about you?

What did you dress up as?

Guess I'm the, uh,

Great Pumpkin.

Cute. Did you come yet?

No?

- [grunts]

- [indistinct chatter]

You guys have a knife?

- What?

- Or something?

- Do I look like I have a knife?

- That's what he said.

Guys,

I'm really glad you're here,

but can you keep it down?

My mom's...

Ya just told us,

"Your mom's taking a rest."

You got a knife on you?

Come on.

Yeah, I haven't seen your mom

in forever. How is she?

Oh, she's, uh... [chuckles]

she's doing all right.

- Yeah, that's good.

- Wait, wait. She beat it?

She's uh...

She's got cancer, actually.

Brain cancer.

Doctors are saying she's only

got another three months.

But you ask her,

she'd say another three decades.

I am, so sorry. I had no idea.

Your mom's a fighter, though.

She'll get through it.

I know she will.

Thanks, Danielle.

- Tim I really wanted to...

- [Nate] f*ck. You.

[screams] Got it.

Thanks to none of you b*tches.

- [Isaac] Hurry it up.

- Let's see what Old Man Rivers

- got in his dirty sack.

- [PJ] God. That stinks.

[coughs]

What is this? [shrieks]

f*ck? What is this?

[indistinct clamoring]

[Tim] What are you guys doing

bringing this sh*t here?

[PJ] Oh, my God.

Is that a f*cking dog?

- I knew this guy was a psycho.

- Nobody touch me.

Guys, he saw me take it.

He's probably

on his way right now.

He didn't see us.

Why would you say that?

Wait, remember those kids

that disappeared

a few years ago?

- [Tim] No.

- Everyone thinks

that he k*lled them

and buried them in his basement.

No that's a myth.

It's not true. It's not real.

Quiet.

That's what he did

to these animals!

Quiet.

[cell phone buzzing]

- What is that?

- Whose phone?

[cell phone buzzing continues]

Dude, why are you calling me?

- What? I'm not.

- Uh. Yes, you are.

- sh*t.

- Oh, my God.

This isn't even a good prank.

Really, dude?

Guys, seriously,

I think I dropped my phone.

Okay, I see. [chuckles]

I see what's going on here.

You guys are trying to prank me.

It's not gonna work.

You know why?

- Because I'm going to answer.

- [cell phone clicks]

Uh. Hello?

You have seven days to live,

Tramer, seven days.

[Hawthorne] You have less if you

don't shut the f*ck up,

you g*dd*mn pecker head.

I think it's...

I think this is for you.

[Hawthorne] You have no idea

what kind of a f*cking mess

you made tonight.

Now you all have to listen.

If you even know how to do that?

[Isaac]

f*ck you, you sick freak.

You listen to us.

We know what's in your bag.

[Hawthorne] That bag is nothing

compared to what'll happen

if you don't bring it back.

- Immediately!

- [Tramer] No way, man.

We're calling the cops

on your animal abusing a*s.

Please do. Save me a phone call.

I look forward to sharing

what you've been up to tonight.

You could easily do a few months

jail time for this.

Isn't that right, Ms. Wes?

Yeah, well, you're looking

at way more than that, pal.

Oh, I'd be lucky

to have that much time.

Now, look,

we're all in trouble here.

Bring back the sack

and maybe we can stop

whatever's going to happen.

Guys, I need to get

my phone back.

Your cars out front. Let's get

this the f*ck over with.

I can't leave.

You should be here by now!

Move it!

[Isaac] Tim, please.

[Linda coughing]

Come on! Just give us a ride.

Okay, fine. Just keep it down

until we go.

Oh, my God, dude.

Bag that b*tch up. Let's go.

- You can f*ck right off.

- Shut up!

[coughing]

[Tramer]

Will you help me with this?

Yup.

What is this thing?

[Isaac] Oh, no, it's face,

that's a face, that's a face.

[Aos Si screams]

- [shotgun blast]

- [Tim] Okay, here we are.

What the hell is that?

Looks like someone else

pranked him.

[PJ] Yeah.

[Tim]

Guys, that's the same symbol

that's been all over

the news tonight.

[Nate] Nobody cares, dude,

just go out and get your phone

already, okay?

I'm not going in the house

by myself.

Uh. Um. It's your phone.

So it's your problem.

Here, I'll open the

door for you.

- There ya go. Go on, buddy.

- God dammit, Nate.

Will you stop

being a stupid f*cking d*ck

for once in your life?

You're the reason why

we're all here.

You should be

getting the phone yourself.

So get your punk a*s, out there.

What did you say?

Oh, you heard me. Tell you what.

I'll go with you too,

just to prove how much of a man

you're not.

Okay.

- [Isaac chuckling]

- [chuckles]

Come on, Isaac.

You're coming too.

- But Babe?

- Don't give me that babe sh*t.

If you ever wanna see

any of this ever again,

I suggest

that you get the f*ck out.

Great. Just great.

My girlfriend's

holding her p*ssy hostage

and now someone's

grandpa's gonna k*ll me.

- [Tramer] Now what?

- [Nate] Where is he?

What is that?

[eerie music playing]

[Nate gasps]

Is... is that blood?

I don't know,

but someone just knock already.

Move.

[Tramer]

So whose going in first?

Hello?

[coughs]

[music concludes]

Hello?

Mr. Hawthorne?

[Nate]

Yo, dude. Is that your phone?

Right here.

- [chuckles]

- You're such a d*ck.

It's not funny.

It's not funny.

It was pretty funny.

- It's a little funny.

- It's not funny.

Where the f*ck is this guy?

He's probably finding

some road k*ll to f*ck.

Jesus.

[ominous music playing]

[typewriter keys clacking]

- [music concludes]

- [typewriter sliding]

- [glass breaking]

- [grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Nate] f*ck, dude.

- Isaac, stop touching sh*t.

- It's fine.

- [breathes deeply]

Guys,

will someone call my phone,

- please, so we can find it?

- Yes. Okay, okay, okay.

I'm doing it now.

- [Tramer] Jesus.

- [cell phone dialing]

- [door creaking]

- [eerie music playing]

[cell phone dialing]

[Tramer] Wait, wait,

just listen.

[cell phone dialing]

- [Nate] Jesus Christ.

- Go figure.

Of course,

it's in the f*cking basement.

[eerie music continues]

[PJ] sh*t.

Is there a light?

[PJ] Of course

there's no f*cking light

you idiot.

[Tramer] Guys, watch your step.

- [Nate] Oh. Oh, God.

- [Tramer chuckles]

[eerie music continues]

sh*t, there's somebody dead

dog down here. That sucks.

[unsettling music playing]

"Aos Si?"

Isaac! I thought I told you

to stop touching sh*t.

I'm sorry.

Guys, come on. Please focus.

- Call my phone again.

- [PJ] Okay.

I'm calling it,

I'm calling it, I'm calling it.

[cell phone dialing]

[cell phone vibrating]

Oh, sh*t.

- [Isaac] Oh...

- [cell phone vibrating]

You go first.

[Nate murmuring]

- [PJ sighs]

- [cell phone vibrating]

- God. What is this?

- Oh, gross. It stinks.

- [cell phone vibrating]

- [Nate] f*ck.

[door handle clangs]

- [Nate groans] Someone's puked.

- [cell phone vibrating]

- What the f*ck is that?

- [Isaac coughing]

[cell phone vibrating]

[music darkens]

Oh! [grunts]

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- Oh, f*ck! f*ck!

[cell phone vibrates]

- [indistinct clamoring]

- [Isaac] Guys, wait!

[indistinct clamoring]

[PJ] Come on Isaac. Let's go!

[music concludes]

[crickets chirping]

[soft rock music

playing over radio]

[chuckles softly]

It's been a long time

since we hung out

on Halloween together.

Yeah. Wasn't the last time

the year it snowed?

Yeah. One of the joys

of living in upstate New York.

You never know when you're gonna

freeze to death in October.

- [chuckles softly]

- Oh, yeah.

Last I recall,

you were wearing that

Amazon Warrior costume, right?

Yes. And it was a terrible idea.

I mean. [chuckles softly]

I kinda liked it.

- [chuckles softly]

- I mean.

Yeah, maybe for the weather,

it wasn't the best idea.

Yeah, and if I recall correctly,

some sweet guy gave me his coat,

and saved my life.

And then didn't

talk to me for three years.

- Yeah. [sighs] I've...

- [Danielle] Tim.

- Tim, I really...

- [dramatic music playing]

- [Tramer] What was that?

- Oh, my god!

[indistinct clamoring]

- They are such idiots sometimes.

- [Nate] Get in! Get in!

- Start the car. Start the car!

- Start the car! Start the car!

Yes, I got the phone.

f*cking go!

[eerie music playing]

[crickets chirping]

So am I going to report this

or are you guys?

- Uh. Report what? I don't.

- [music concludes]

I don't know what you're

talking about.

The police will find out

eventually, Nate.

Find out what, Tramer?

'Cause we were never there.

Okay?

Our fingerprints are literally

all over that place.

Okay and what do you think's

gonna happen, dude?

Huh? You think they're going

to believe us?

Uh. "Hi, officer. We went

to return this sack of dead sh*t"

and found

the Headless Horseman."

Wait. Guys, guys,

you really need to look this.

God damn it, Isaac, I thought

I told you to stop taking sh*t.

Okay. Will you shut up

for one second?

One.

- [sighs]

- [door opening]

I guess I should just go

check on her.

[Danielle] Yeah,

I think that's a good idea.

- [Nate clears throat]

- [sighs]

- [footsteps receding]

- [door closing]

"Aos Si?"

It looks like its folklore.

[crickets chirping]

Babe.

Will ya just come back inside?

It's f*cking freezing.

Are you really

gonna be like this?

f*ck. You.

What? B... Babe!

I'm sorry, all right, come on.

Watch out.

[eerie music playing]

What is it?

[Tramer]

" The Aos Si come for thee

on the night of Hallows Eve."

Okay, so what does that mean?

[eerie music continues]

It says, "Every Hallows Eve,

the veil between"

the world of the living

and the dead is lifted,

"allowing Spirit's passage

into our realm."

"Entities known as the 'Aos Si'"

would disguise themselves

in costumes of their own

"creation in order to blend in

with the humans."

"Villagers of old

would protect their homes"

by leaving out

offerings of food and clothing.

"In attempt to

appease the Aos Si."

"The spirits traveled door

to door collecting these gifts"

on the last night

of the harvest,

"known as Samhain. Or as

we know it today, Halloween."

"Over time,

families grew larger,"

making it nearly impossible

to ration for the Aos Si,

"forcing the spirits

to feed on their own kind."

"Endless suffering led

the Aos Si to harvest those"

from their homes

that failed the tradition

"of appeasing

the spirits hunger."

"In blood, they'd mark

the sign of the harvest"

on villagers homes,

warning others

"to honor the tradition

or suffer the consequences."

[music concludes]

They sound like the first

trick or treaters.

Oh, cute story.

Sounds like Santa Claus to me.

More like Krampus.

Seriously, why are you being

like this?

Why?

Because somebody died tonight

and all you're doing

- is telling scary stories.

- Okay, look,

I'm just as concerned

as you are.

But you can't just go

walking off like this.

Oh, so you can go

and do dumb sh*t all night

and you think you can tell me

what to do?

Don't touch me.

I thought

you liked that, princess?

Shut up. I'm not a princess.

- I'm a Goddess.

- Whatever.

- [PJ chuckling]

- [kisses]

[Nate] Look.

Clearly the guy k*lled

someone's dog,

so they John Wick'd him.

That does not explain

the book, Nate.

Or the news reports.

People have been missing

all night.

Would you just stop it?

The guy f*cking k*lled himself,

okay, it's as simple as that.

Now, drop it.

If you're not going to drink it,

I will.

Awesome.

- [moans]

- [Isaac kissing, moaning]

- Wait a sec.

- What?

[PJ sighing, chuckling softly]

- [smooches, moans]

- [smooches, moans]

Oh, God.

I love the way your skin feels.

Is that new moisturizer?

Shut up. You're ruining it.

[both moan]

- [smooches]

- [smooches, grunts]

[gasps] What are you doing?

I'm making us number one

on the Hub.

Oh, give me that.

How do you turn this off?

I... I thought

you said you want me

- to get more pictures of us?

- [PJ] Jesus Christ.

[unsettling music playing]

[groans] What the f*ck?

- [bones cracking]

- [groans]

[grunts]

[ears ringing]

- PJ, get help.

- [pants]

Better get outta here

before you get hurt, freak.

[ears ringing]

[grunts]

[breathes shakily] Last warning.

[ears ringing]

[yells]

- [bones breaking]

- [screams]

[dramatic music playing]

[screams]

[choked screams]

- [music concludes]

- That's it. I'm calling my dad.

[keypad dialing]

- [eerie music playing]

- [Nate] What was that, hmm?

Like I said,

we are not calling anyone.

- [Danielle] Nate! No!

- [Nate] Oops.

Nate, what the f*ck is wrong

with you?

- [Danielle] What?

- Oops.

- [PJ screaming]

- [tense music playing]

Let me in, let me in, let me in.

- [Danielle] What is wrong?

- [sobs, pants]

There's someone out there!

[pants]

PJ, if you and your boyfriend

are pulling a stupid prank

- it is not funny.

- This is not a f*cking prank!

- [pants]

- [object pounding]

Let me guess.

That must be Isaac now?

Not bad though.

Really, not bad.

- [object pounding]

- [Nate] I'll give you some

credit though,

that was pretty good.

[Aos Si snarling]

I swear,

if you two are joking...

I'm not f*cking joking. [pants]

All right, you guys gotta leave.

This isn't even funny.

Dude, Isaac, come on. Get up.

[bones cracking]

This isn't even

a good joke, dude.

[heart beating]

[PJ gasping, sobbing]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! [sobs]

[Tramer] What is that?

What is that?

[Nate] What is that?

I don't know. I don't know.

- PJ, give me your phone.

- [PJ] Okay.

- What are you doing?

- I am calling for help.

- Jesus Christ.

- [line ringing]

Hello. This is Danielle Wes.

[911 Operator] 911. Please hold.

[elevator music playing]

Are you kidding me?

This is an emergency.

[Tramer] What is... what is it?

They just put me on hold.

[suspenseful music playing]

- Wait a sec.

- [PJ] What?

It's just standing there

waiting for something.

I think

it's because of the sack.

What does that have to do

with anything?

It... it must have been

an offering.

An offering?

Would you stop reading

this god damn book?

Look here, now look out there.

This isn't a f*cking story, man.

[Nate] f*ck.

It says, "The Aos Si

are easily angered."

When you took the sack,

you must've appeared

as a threat.

God damn it, Nate.

What? I'm not the one

who took the sack.

Tramer was.

What's it still want, then, huh?

I gave everything back.

[Tim] "If the Aos Si feel

easily threatened"

then they'll hunt

all that hinder

their chance of survival.

Once targeted,

the only way to stop its game

is to take the life...

"and offer the body

of a loved one."

A loved one?

Why not anyone or anything?

I don't know.

It must be a lesson.

What do you mean, a lesson?

Isaac! No! [sobs]

[Tim] "If the Aos Si

don't harvest enough to survive"

they must consume

their own, right?"

They want us to feel

their suffering.

- [PJ sobs]

- We need to go

to the police, Tim.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

If... if that thing is real

that you're reading about,

that thing's not going to let us

get to the f*cking car.

No, no, no, no, no, I can't.

- [Danielle] Yes, you can.

- No, no, no, no.

We have to try.

All right, we gotta go.

Imma get my mom. Come on.

It's not after your mom.

We need to leave her.

Dude, leave her. We gotta go.

Nate, how on earth

could you say that?

- I'm not leaving her.

- We are targets. She isn't.

[Tramer] He has a point, man.

We're just putting her

in danger.

[Nate] Yeah.

Come on.

What are you gonna do with that?

It's my grandpa's lucky bat.

Let's hope it's ours too.

Yeah.

You weren't even on the team.

Give me that thing. Come on, go!

You gotta go, go, go, go!

[eerie music playing]

[intense music playing]

[screams, sobs]

[Tramer] Go, go, go. Don't look.

[Nate] Holy sh*t.

- [indistinct clamoring]

- [PJ sobs]

Oh, my God. [sobs]

[Tramer] Dude.

Let's go, let's go.

I can't see out the windshield.

[Nate] Oh, my God. [gasps]

Just... just floor it already.

- It won't start.

- [car engine failing]

- [eerie music playing]

- [Tim] Where is it?

- [Aos Si screams]

- [Nate] Oh, sh*t!

[all scream]

[indistinct screaming,

clamoring]

[Nate panting]

Wait. Wait. Where is it?

[unsettling music playing]

Looks like it's just a mask.

[screams] Oh, my hand!

Oh, god!

[Aos Si snarling]

[bone snapping]

[Nate screaming]

Be careful it's in deep.

[Tim] You need to use your legs.

- [Nate] No, no. [groans]

- [indistinct chatter]

- [music concludes]

- [groans]

- [soft music playing]

- [winces]

Can you feel it?

[groans] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's just get it out.

Just get it out.

Just get it out.

[screams] No, no, no.

No, no, no.

- Just leave it. Just leave it.

- I can't. It'll get infected.

I don't care. Just let it,

let it. Don't touch it.

Do you want it amputated?

[pants]

- No.

- Okay. Okay.

[chugs]

You know what you're doing?

- Not really.

- [pants]

My dad taught me everything

I need to know.

[groans]

[screams]

Can you still feel it?

Yeah. Yeah, it just hurts.

Okay.

- You should be fine then.

- [pants]

[intense music playing]

[Aos Si screams]

- [music concludes]

- [pants] What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Oh, yes.

Yes, you do.

What do you mean?

You already said it, right?

[grunts]

A loved one needs to die.

Tim. Buddy, I hate

to be the one to say it but...

someone's gotta die.

[suspenseful music playing]

No one is going to die, Nate.

And we are not k*lling anyone.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not us.

Just Tim.

Why are you even saying this?

[Nate grunting]

Don't play dumb, Tim.

You're the only one...

who has anything...

to sacrifice.

- [Linda coughing]

- Oh.

Uh...

How long did you say

she had left, Tim?

Was it one month?

- Or two?

- Stop.

[grunts] How many times

has she had chemo, Tim?

Stop.

Do you really like seeing her

in this much pain?

Stop it.

She's not going

to get better, Tim.

It's either her...

- or all of us.

- Stop it!

[Linda coughing]

No one's got anything

to say, huh?

It's cause we know it.

And you know it.

Yeah.

So, if you don't do this...

We all...

[echoing] ...die.

[eerie music playing]

[melancholic music playing]

[Aos Si snarling]

[Nate] How long did you say

she had left, Tim?

You really like seeing her

in this much pain?

How many times

has she had chemo, Tim?

She's not gonna get better, Tim.

It's either her...

or all of us.

[music concludes]

[Tim panting]

[Nate] Tim,

if you don't do this...

we all die.

[tense music playing]

[Tim breathes shakily]

[Linda] I'm so proud of you.

[Fred] Your mother and I

are really appreciative

of all the sacrifices

you've made and...

[Linda] You will always be...

my little baby.

[Fred] Proud of the man

you're becoming.

[Tim panting]

[melancholic music playing]

[Tim sniffles]

[breathes heavily]

[clock ticking]

[indistinct chatter over TV]

- [Linda] Fred. Is that you?

- [music concludes]

No mom. It's just me.

Go back to sleep.

[Linda] Good. I don't wanna

share my covers anyway.

[melancholic music playing]

[sobs]

Tim, I am so, so sorry.

I think there's another way.

Another way?

[Nate] What?

You mean you didn't do it?

- No.

- [Nate sighing]

Tim, there is no other way.

Samhain ends at midnight, right?

If we can outlast it 'til then,

we should be able

to get through this.

[scoffs]

Your mom needs to die.

My mother has been fighting

for her life every day

for the past three years.

If she can do that,

then we can do this.

We can't do that, Tim.

Look at us.

Look at my f*cking leg.

Look what it did to Isaac.

It wrapped his skin

around your god damn car.

What's stopping it

from coming in here

and doing the same thing to us?

[wind whooshing]

I don't know.

Hawthorne never finished

translating the book.

The book? [chuckles]

[Nate laughing]

Oh, Tim.

You never were one to make

the tough decisions, were you?

[grunts, groans]

But I am not gonna die...

because of you... [grunts]

and your selfish ways.

What are you even talking about?

No one else has to die.

[Nate grunts]

We can get through this.

Together.

You're so naive, Tim.

The answer isn't always

f*cking togetherness.

That's what gets you

f*cked in the end.

What are you even talking about?

You and me.

We used to be like brothers.

- Nate, come on.

- [Nate] And in return...

I lost the one thing

that I loved the most.

Because of you.

- [screams]

- [screams]

[intense music playing]

[retches, coughs]

- [Nate grunts]

- [groans]

[wind whooshing]

- [Nate grunting]

- Die already, b*tch!

- [coughs]

- [grunts]

- [gasps]

[door slamming]

- [dramatic music playing]

- [screams]

[Nate]

You're k*lling us all, Timmy.

[laughs menacingly]

Okay, okay, okay, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

I know what you want,

I know what you want.

I know what you want. [grunts]

I can help you.

I can help you. I'll...

I'll k*ll for you.

[grunts]

[breathes heavily]

Look! There they are!

There they are.

[Tramer] Hey, stop!

Stop the car. Hey, stop!

You want them. Not me.

You want them, not me.

You want them...

[screams]

[snarls]

- [Tramer] Tim!

- [Aos Si screaming]

Tim, no!

[guttural rasping]

No, no, Tim. Come on.

We got to go.

We got to go. Come on.

[suspenseful music playing]

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

- [music concludes]

- [stutters] Hey, everyone,

I'm your driver, Ian.

- Uh, where can I take you?

- Anywhere. Just go!

Listen, I'm still kind of

on the clock here.

I need you

to give me a destination.

[dramatic musical sting]

Are you kidding?

We need to go now.

[dramatic musical sting]

Listen man, this is only

my second day on the job.

- [dramatic musical sting]

- [Nate gagging]

I've been driving

all these drunk partiers around.

[dramatic musical sting]

And I just need you

to take it easy on me.

- [intense music playing]

- [Nate gagging]

Just go

before you end up like he did.

Fine! All right! Fine!

But I want a five-star review.

Wanna get that bonus.

- [groans] Help!

- [bones crunching]

[Aos Si screaming]

[music concludes]

[radio announcer] Good evening,

Ashville. This just in.

We're receiving breaking news

that multiple cell towers

across the county

have been unresponsive,

along with a new record

of missing persons in one day.

Eyewitness reports

are telling us

this could be the work

of a cul...

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Could you not turn off

my programs?

Could you not bleed

all over my interior?

[crickets chirping]

Look out!

- [breaks squealing]

- [cat mewling]

[gasps]

Did you just k*ll that cat?

No, I think they have,

uh, nine lives or something.

[tire blowing]

[warning light dinging]

Oh, man.

And I just bought those.

What, you can't stop here,

we need to keep going.

Listen,

we ain't getting anywhere

unless I go out there

and fix this tire.

Besides, my insurance doesn't

cover flats.

You've got to be

f*cking kidding me.

Listen, we're only a few miles

away from where I got you,

and if you just come outside

and help me jack this thing up

we'll be out of here in no time.

Jesus Christ.

All right, come on. Let's go.

[car door closing]

[girls gasping]

Hey, uh, anyone know

how to use this thing?

Do you not know

how to fix a flat tire?

What do I look like,

I work for AAA?

I don't know.

Up here, come on!

Hey. Hey, where are ya goin?

All right, well,

if you're not back by the time

I fix this thing, then, ya know,

I'm finding a new rider.

- [signal clicking]

- [crickets chirping]

[Aos Si screaming]

- [dramatic music playing]

- [Tim] Come on. This way.

Up here.

f*ck! Come on.

What are we doing?

Why didn't we wait at the car?

I don't know,

but if you wanna wait

by the road then be my guest.

[panting] We trust you.

Let's go.

[music concludes]

[Tramer] Okay, now what?

Do you really trust me?

[signal clicking]

[police sirens wailing]

[radio beeping]

Dispatch, we've got a car

off to the side on Route 11

near the Fox Road intersection.

Hazards are flashing,

and there's no one in sight.

Has anyone gotten

any word on this?

[radio static buzzing]

- Anyone?

Wait. Tramer!

I can't. I cracked...

I cracked a rib.

- [soft music playing]

- [Danielle coughs]

We're so close.

Come on, I'll carry you.

- No. Just leave me behind.

- I'm not leaving you.

I'm just gonna slow you down.

No.

You should've let Nate k*ll me.

[Tim] No.

Yes.

You would all still be alive.

- You don't know that.

- Yes, I do. And so do you.

[Aos Si screaming]

The only thing I've been scared

of more than today.

Is to tell you that I...

- That...

- Tell me what?

That I lo...

[dramatic music playing]

[music concludes abruptly]

[Danielle gasping]

[echoing] This is Officer Wes.

Who's out there?

Daddy?

Danielle? What the hell

are you doing out here?

- Daddy, help.

- Honey, I'm coming!

[radio beeps]

Dispatch, I need backup

and emergency services.

- And I need it now!

- Daddy, is that you?

[rustling]

[Officer Wes]

Keep talking, Dani!

I'm getting closer!

Daddy, what time is it?

[Fred] Thank Christ,

you're awake.

Hey. Lay down.

Relax.

Dad?

What happened?

Where's... where's Danielle?

[Fred] Son...

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you at home with mom?

There was this... this thing.

An... an Aos Si.

Where is everyone?

Where is everyone? Tim...

The only person

we found out there was you.

["Chasing Ghosts" playing]

Seems like yesterday

You asked me not to go

You told me

That you want me along

First you're here

Then you're gone

Can't tell what went wrong

Don't know if it's over

I just need some closure

It's possessing my mind

While you run and hide

Am I just chasing ghosts?

Searching into the dark

Just to see where you are

Am I just chasing ghosts?

Never thought

That you'd be like this

Felt my heart skip

With every kiss

Picture me

When life gets colder

You never knew

How to keep your composure

Screaming in the attic

Acting so dramatic

Girl you had me thinking

That I might be an addict

Begging me to stay

Just in case you wanna play

But you never really thought

That there might come a day

And I'm gone

Don't ask what went wrong

It's possessing my mind

While you run and hide

Am I just chasing ghosts?

Searching into the dark

Just to see where you are

Am I chasing ghosts?

Do you think

She'll call me back?
