Night Of The Harvest (2023)

[bunniefuu]

John?

Uh, hey, I-- I'm here.

It's unlocked, come in.

I'm just finishing up.

I'm in the kitchen.

So what do you think?

I bet you didn't believe me

when I said Halloween

was my favorite holiday.

Um, I love it,

but I'm easy to impress.

Hopefully not too easy.

Oh, uh, thanks.

This is from my private reserve.

I only break it out

for special occasions.

How, uh, special are we talking?

Well, if you were at a bar,

about $100 worth is special.

Oh, wow. Um...

Well, I guess my mom was right.

I really am a special occasion.

Halloween's tomorrow.

That's special.

You're just an occasion.

Ah, well, I'll take it.

I'm going to go

finish getting ready.

We can leave

in about ten minutes.

Cool.

Hello.

Hi!

Happy night before Halloween.

Devil's night

is finally upon us.

She might have

a bit of a hard time,

but she has you to get excited.

So, uh, do you maybe want to

move this to the bedroom?

Nope, no.

God, that was terrible.

And creepy.

This will not be

another Gina situation.

How about we just, uh,

keeping it out here?

We can throw on a movie, maybe

order some sushi?

Better. Definitely better.

Uh, okay, so,

um, this drink has me

a little tipsy, so no pop-outs.

Um...

I-- I like Halloween,

but I forgot to mention I have

a healthy amount of phobias.

Thanks again

for taking care of everything.

Remember, next year

I've got you.

I love you.

I see you've decided to match

my Halloween spirit.

I'm impressed.

John, are you lost?

John?

No. No!

Hey.

Are you hungry?

No, not really.

I found this in storage.

Therapist said I should do

something creative as an outlet.

Think a drawing would be a

good place to start.

These are good.

Mom would be proud.

I still see it, you know, more

often than I thought I would.

I tell my therapist I don't,

but I do.

365 days later,

and it's still right there.

Madison, you have to

forgive yourself.

You have to.

Come on, let's go get some food

to go with this awful vodka.

No, I just want to sit here.

-Maddie--

-I just want to

sit here for a little while,

and then I'll go get some food,

or climb into bed.

Tonight--

I know what tonight is.

Hey, uh--

I love you.

We're gonna get through this.

I promise you, after this

weekend, you'll be just fine.

Audrey, can I have...

Oh man, this is

gonna be awesome.

No, Audrey's going to love this.

The call's supposed to

come in today, so--

Look, don't stress about

the call, okay?

Whatever happens

ends up happening.

I'm not stressed. I'm good.

Right. You're cool.

You're confident.

Dude, obviously I'm lying.

Of course I'm stressed.

I'm the most stressed I've been

in my entire life.

I'm probably going to pass out

when they call me.

You're not going

to pass out, okay?

Relax. Everything's

going to be fine.

Besides, this whole call is

secondary business.

I-- I need you to be focused on

what we've got going on tonight.

Whoa, where the hell's

your costume?

I'm just going to do what I did

last year.

What were you again last year?

- You don't remember?

- Yeah, that's how shitty it was.

We were at the same party.

Together.

Changing the subject, today is

mine and Audrey's

six-month anniversary.

It's kind of a big deal, so...

I'm thinking about doing

something a little crazy.

You're not thinking of

proposing, right?

Dude, please tell me you're not

thinking of proposing

to this girl after...

No, no, no, I'm not proposing.

No. It's--

it's a lot bigger than that.

I'm going to tell her

that I love her.

I-- I can't believe that you

haven't told her

that you love her yet.

Bro, you've been dating her for

six solid months.

Every single day, you've been

seeing this girl.

Christ, how has she not

dumped you yet? I mean...

-Okay.

-First of all, explain to me how

saying I love you

is a bigger deal than proposing.

'Cause trust me, if I was

dating Audrey,

I would have said

that sh*t day one.

I mean, I cannot believe you

have taken this long.

Jesus, I think Halloween

has officially

taken over Christmas.

No, no way.

The Pope would never allow it.

I mean, no, look at all this.

Oh, that's disgusting.

We are Valentine's Day people.

We are definitely

Valentine's Day people.

What do you think

they've got planned for

later tonight?

I have no clue. I have no idea.

Which in itself is very

worrisome, because, you know,

I need to know at least a day

ahead of time what to expect.

Yes, babe. I know all about

your party requirement.

This is what I was thinking.

How about we go,

see what they're putting on,

and if it's a no-go,

honestly, I hope we just do

our own thing, you know?

Maybe we get a couple rom-coms,

and a movie theater popcorn.

See, this, this is why

I love you so much.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, my God.

Yes, yes, yes.

Riley and Jacob

gonna pick me up.

We're gonna Halloween

all day long.

Halloween.

Ween--

Yes! Oh my God, you're here.

Yes, yes. Hey, guys!

Guys!

It's Halloween.

Why are you already

in your costume, Joyce?

Um, because I want to get as

much out of today as possible.

Tomorrow's gonna be all about

Thanksgiving, and then

it's gonna be

all about Christmas.

It's gonna be all about...

Yeah, yeah, we know

the sequential order

of holidays in the United

States.

Okay, but today is my holiday,

b*tches, so turn on that radio.

K-Hit is playing

Halloween music.

Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

Was it about how good

I look in this hat?

No, no, and I-- not--

not that at all, actually.

But, you, I mean,

you do-- you know, you do look

pretty-- pretty good

in that hat, though.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh.

You know, we could, uh...

we could just sit here.

Blow everybody off.

We can go inside, pass out

candy, watch a scary movie.

I mean, come on, it'd be great.

But you'd be okay with

just sitting here?

Not here. In my apartment.

So I've got these--

I've got chairs,

and I've-- I've got this thing.

It's called a couch.

I want to tell you something,

and I really hope

you don't freak out.

I also

have to tell you something,

and I hope that

you're not gonna freak out.

Okay, but I probably

should go first.

Oh, my God, you're married.

What? No.

-You're seeing somebody else?

-No.

But you want to see

somebody else.

No, I don't want

to see anybody...

I have a sister.

Oh, well, thank God.

Wait, how come you've never

brought her up before?

Right after I moved here,

someone tried to k*ll her.

Oh, my God.

She was stabbed, and, um,

she lost so much blood,

she, uh...

she actually died.

My little sister.

And she almost died.

Oh, Jesus, Audrey.

Is she okay, now?

No.

But she will be.

It's hard to talk about her.

Every time I think about

Madison, every time I see her,

it's... it's the first thing

I think about.

I am so f*cking mad that I

wasn't able to protect her.

Her therapist said that we

should spend

some more time together, so

she's been staying with me.

I want her to come tonight,

with us.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

I just really hope that Joyce

doesn't have anything too wild

in mind.

Joyce?

Yeah, uh, yeah, no,

I'm sure you got nothing

to worry about there.

Okay, you guys,

we have to

hit up at least

two parties tonight,

maybe an extreme haunt, too.

Oh, I'm not doing anything

extreme tonight.

-Same.

- Ugh, come on.

I'm not going anywhere where

people are going to

piss and sh*t on me.

Okay, people piss and sh*t on

you now, what's the difference?

Uh, I know these people,

it's a huge difference.

- Ew.

- Why don't we just

go to a couple of parties?

That could be fun.

Whose party?

Like, is this going to be

a party in the middle

of the cemetery,

or like a house party?

Same.

Uh, Jacob, you can't

just say "same,"

when what she said

wasn't an answer.

-Come on, keep up.

-I'm-- I'm down for that,

and I know William's

down for whatever,

so whatever we decide here is

what we'll go ahead and do.

I like how you guys

are like a package,

like you're the brains

and, uh, he's the brawns.

I'm both, but, uh,

thanks for noticing.

-Mm-hmm.

-I vote for a house party,

but one with style, not like

Chad's of last year.

Oh, yeah, ew, no.

Ooh, what about, uh,

Terry's, near the university?

That is date r*pe central.

Hard pass on that.

What if we just ended up

throwing something at one of

our houses?

Oh my god, yes!

That's the best idea yet.

We can have it at my parents'

house in the forest.

Oh my god, I can--

I can get there early,

and I can decorate,

and I can put some stuff up,

put out some old Halloween

movies.

Oh! Oh my God,

it's gonna be perfect.

I guess that

doesn't sound horrible.

And we can all crash there

if we get too drunk.

Done. Deal. Yeah, no, no,

I'm-- I'm down for that.

-Me too.

-All right, it's settled.

My house, tonight.

I'm going to bail,

I'm going to leave early,

I'm going to go to the store,

get a couple of supplies,

go to my parents' house,

get a couple of party favors.

Uh, hey crazy, don't forget

we drove you here.

Oh, that's okay,

I'll just get a rideshare.

Since it's going to be just us,

do we need a costume?

Um, f*ck yeah

you have to wear a costume.

Just because we're

not going out,

doesn't mean you

don't have to bring your A game.

Well great,

I don't have a costume.

Well then for you,

it'll be a toga party.

But it's going to be really

cool tonight,

and your one article of clothing

is going to be a sheet.

So, you're smart, I think you

can do the math,

and you'll make the right

decision.

I'll text you guys the address.

Okay? Love you! Kisses! Bye!

Well, we just made her night.

Yeah, but if there's anybody

in the world that I trust

to throw a last-minute

Halloween party,

it's Joyce.

Same.

So, um... how do you know

this place?

My sister talked about it.

Says she comes here to unwind.

I've only been here a couple of

times, and I usually get bored

pretty quick, but...

Bored?

I don't think I could ever be

bored in a place like this.

Maybe I just...

like being with you?

And that makes

everything else... less boring.

Hey, you...

you have to tell me

when you're gonna do that.

So then I can fix myself.

Come on. You look great.

That's a dangerous game

to be playing.

Lighter in a cornfield?

When my mom died,

my dad took off.

A lot.

One night, he came home, drunk.

He was crying.

He was saying that

he let me down.

And he's sorry...

And he gave me this lighter.

And he said, if you're ever in

a dark place, a place where

there is no light, open this.

And when I did that,

I could make any place my place.

My place where I didn't think

about my mom.

My dad.

Just be.

If that makes any sense.

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

See, that wasn't boring at all.

It was definitely

less boring than usual.

You know what else isn't boring?

Is this coffee place I know,

that we can go to down the road.

Ah, coffee.

I only drink coffee

in the morning.

Yeah, gross.

Uh, f*ck coffee. Um...

What I meant to say was...

Pizza.

Pizza. What? Who said that?

Uh, what I-- what I really

meant to say, uh was...

I just really want to keep

seeing you, is all.

What is that?

That wasn't there

when we walked by earlier.

Did we come this way?

Yeah, I'm sure of it.

Uh...

Let's keep going.

Just-- I got a weird feeling,

is all.

The car's just around the bend--

-It's good.

-What?

Your, uh, your drawing.

It's good.

It's a little dark and creepy,

but it's really good.

Not that I asked.

But thanks.

Hey, could I, uh,

get your opinion on something?

If you had to choose

between these two.

You kind of seem like you have

an eye for this kind of thing.

Uh-huh, classic, nice.

I'll take your word for it.

Got, uh-- got any other stuff

in there?

Nothing I'd like to share.

No, I-- I-- think

it's super cool.

You know, drawing?

I can barely draw

a stick figure.

If I'm being honest,

I, uh, I'm just

hanging out, waiting for a call.

Uh, a little nervous,

but I figure

if it's a good call,

I could drink.

And if it's a bad call,

I could drink more. You know?

Hey, I-- I don't

mean to be rude,

but I kind of just, you know,

want to be alone.

Yeah, for sure. Sorry.

I'm sure a girl

on Halloween, stuff...

Creepers come out, right?

You're at a bar, and you're

just trying to

hang out and be alone.

And some guy just rolls up and

he just starts talking to you.

And he won't stop talking,

he won't shut up.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, I'm the creepy guy.

Look, I am-- I am so sorry. I...

I'm actually, like, super

normal, like boringly normal.

Like, I honestly just

came up here

because I figured I'd have a

better shot at getting a drink.

And if my phone rings, I can

hear it when I need the--

I really don't care.

I just want to sit here alone.

Is that possible?

Absolutely. Um... yeah, sorry.

Sorry.

It's just Halloween and all.

When people start talking,

you don't know

what you're going to get. I--

I just want to drink.

Cheers to that.

So are you, like, an artist?

I wish.

Maybe. Someday.

This month always

gets me inspired.

What's that saying? Um...

Idle hands are the devil's work.

Or something.

Or something.

You know, I'm sure the devil

will forgive you

for taking a day off.

Somehow, I don't think the devil

cares what I want.

Uh...

Stay safe tonight.

You too.

Yeah, this is William.

Yes, I know who this is.

Gross.

Hi, Momsy. Hi, Daddy.

Just want to let you guys know

that I am here at the cabin.

And I might be throwing a

teensy-weensy, itty-bitty

little Halloween party.

Okay, don't be mad.

You know you love me.

And in return, I promise to

pretend to be happy

about Christmas.

Okay, I love you.

Kisses. Thank you. Bye.

Mom?

Dad?

Okay, s--

Okay, good.

Oh, come on, you guys.

All this stuff for Christmas?

Ooh, what do we

have here?

Yes!

Oh, I love you. Ah!

I was beginning to think

I was adopted.

Good, okay... oh.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

Oh! I love you.

Yes, I--

Ah! Perfect, okay.

Everybody, in the box.

Okay, I'm--

Oh my gosh.

We cannot leave

you behind!

Oh! God.

Oh my God, we're twins.

Oh.

Wh-- oh! f*ck.

Okay.

Oh, the--

Oh, okay. f*ck.

Here.

This is the good sh*t.

None of that once-distilled

trash that you've been drinking.

My big sister.

Always taking care of me.

Have you thought about what you

want to do tonight?

Yeah?

There's no pressure.

You know that, right?

What do you think Mom would say?

After what happened?

I think...

She'd k*ll me.

Yeah.

For sure, I'd be dead right now.

Mom would say that you

did nothing wrong.

She always had that saying.

It's a lot easier

to do something...

"...when you don't

have a choice."

-She loved saying that.

-Mm-hmm.

She was right.

And she knew it.

I can do tonight alone.

If you're not up for it.

I really don't want you to do

something that

you're not ready for.

Do you think... maybe...

I could crash your celebration?

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

-Okay.

Because I could totally take

care--

No, it's...

I just want to

take it easy, though.

Not like how you used to do

with Hanna.

Remember, this is only, like,

my third real celebration.

And it's always been with the

two of you.

Well, I am sure that tonight

will be a fun...

Easy night!

But we need to get you

a costume.

Okay, so I have an idea alread--

No, nope.

I was hoping that you'd be up

for it, so...

I got you something.

Audrey, I swear, if it's

one of those

frilly princess costumes...

-I'm not going.

-I promise you.

It's no princess.

This is not what I was promised.

I don't think this is

Joyce's parents' house.

Can you, uh, text Joyce and see

where she

actually lives, please?

Hey, you think there's, like,

an entrance back there?

-Like a door or something?

-I have no idea, babe.

Hey! Hey! What the f*ck?

Can we leave before we get

f*cking m*rder*d?

Knowing Joyce, this is her idea

of a good time.

I mean, maybe...

What if she's down there

waiting for us?

Can we just go?

I can text Joyce from the road

and just tell her that...

Jeez, what a dump!

Oh sh*t, did I scare you guys?

-Yes.

-Good!

It is Sauin, after all.

No, it's Halloween.

But I have news.

I have brought a guest

for tonight's shenanigans.

Please welcome... Madison Clark.

AKA my sister.

Oh.

I didn't even know

you had a sister.

Y-yeah, how is this the first

time we're hearing about this?

I see we aren't as close as you

led me to believe.

Guys, see?

Isn't it nice that I bring new

people to mix up our crowd?

But be nice to her.

-Mmm.

-Okay, okay.

I'm gonna go get the rest of my

costume from the car.

Cool.

Question.

Do we even know if we're in the

right spot?

I mean, Joyce could've gotten

something mixed up, and...

Joyce?

"I can see you losers

in the parking lot.

"Come on in." That b*tch.

It's like

she heard you.

Well, I hope she heard me!

I was promised a cozy cabin

in the woods,

not a warehouse in the m*rder

part of the city.

Oh!

Shall we?

Okay. Wow.

Uh, yeah.

Leave it to Joyce to put

something like this together

in a couple of hours.

This is fantastic!

"Hey, guys.

Hope you like my spot.

"Somehow I knew we would need a

place to celebrate,

"so I rented it." Ugh!

Why are you so rich, Joyce?

"I snuck you some of my parents'

private reserve.

"It's a hundred dollars a shot.

"I'll see you guys soon."

What the f*ck, is she not here?

"Also, don't think about

checking your phones

"for another party.

Put them on the table."

Smells like rubbing alcohol

mixed with metal and leather.

Great, so, like, most of the

parties I went to in college.

Good alcohol smells strong.

That's because it's not

for b*tches.

Oh, sh*t.

Um, I meant not for b*tches.

As in weak.

Like, you can't drink too much,

or hold your liquor.

Nothing like a female sense.

No, no, no, no. Especially,

especially not you three.

No, no. You three?

Definitely not b*tches.

Well, are we gonna put our

phones on the table or no?

It's fine.

We're Joyce's friends.

Even if she takes things a

little too far.

To celebrations and traditions.

Wait, shouldn't-- shouldn't

we wait for Dane and Will?

Oh, no. Knowing Dane, he'll take

it as a challenge to catch up.

-Oh!

-Oh, sh**t.

Mmm!

- Sorry.

- Oh, it's okay.

Well, that's 200 bucks.

Ah, it's not like

there's not more alcohol.

Plus, what the f*ck?

You have a sister.

Can we get back to that?

I'm sorry. In my defense,

I was respecting her privacy.

Well, Riley is about to

disrespect all of that privacy.

Eh, he's right. Um, how long

will you be staying with us?

And also, do you need us

to find you a date for

Valentine's Day?

Uh, that's

like four months away.

It's never too late to start.

Okay, all right. Uh...

You wanna know

something about Madison?

She's a great storyteller.

Maddy, tell us a scary story.

Thanks. Should I

do a dance, too?

Oh, God, no.

That is much too terrifying

for everyone here.

Come on, just stick to

the story for now.

All right.

All right, but first...

for safety.

Yes, for safety.

Because a jack-o'-lantern

on Halloween night

is very important for safety.

Last year, on this very night,

a couple, very smitten

with each other,

snuck into a cornfield.

What they didn't know was that

someone else was watching them.

Someone wearing a horrible

scarecrow mask,

to hide their hideous face.

Ugh, rude.

That person was watching

the couple's every move.

Go! No, go. Ah.

Just--

The girl holds the boy, the boy

she-- she thought she made love.

The scarecrow looks at her,

and then, it happens.

What happens?

Uh, it's up to you.

My God, that was brilliant.

She does have a knack

for the dramatic.

Hey, babe, you okay?

Are you?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Ja-- Jacob!

Jake!

f*ck, help!

Oh, my God!

He's not going to

be able to move for a while.

That shot he took?

It's actually a paralytic.

I'm guessing you must have

tossed yours?

The recipe's been in our family

for generations.

You can feel everything.

Doesn't last very long, but,

man, it's a doozy.

Help me! Help me!

No one is coming.

No one is going to help you.

Uh, Joyce! Joyce!

Joyce, help me!

You gonna be all right?

Yeah.

I know what you're thinking.

Why you?

Why her?

I want you to know that

I hate doing this.

The screaming,

the s-smell of blood.

But we have to.

There's an evil here.

Right here in this very room.

It follows me and my sisters

wherever we go, like...

a shadow.

Like a second skin.

And on Sauin, it demands

an offering from us.

It's okay. It's okay.

We have to hurry.

I'm sorry.

I have to.

Madison!

-Madis--

-I gotta take it out.

I can't-- I gotta--

I gotta take it out.

-I gotta take it out.

-No. No, wait! No--

f*ck.

Okay, we have to

stop the bleeding.

Ow!

Put pressure on this.

Hold it. Here, listen.

We've already called the

police. They're on their way.

An ambulance is gonna be here

in, like, five minutes.

Remember the plan.

You're gonna be okay, Maddie.

I promise.

Right.

We are bound to the harvest.

Just like my mother...

and her mother.

I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

Why are we at a bar pre-gaming

right now?

All right?

It's f*cking Halloween.

Dude, all the noise and the

people at a bar,

you don't want to deal with all

that.

No, I do. Oh, I do.

It's-- it's Halloween.

Dude, we're going

to a party tonight.

You'll be fine if we don't go

to a bar before the party.

Yeah, but it's Halloween!

No way! Is it f*cking Halloween?

I had no idea!

Hey, did you hear?

It's Halloween. You're not even

wearing a costume.

All right.

It's not like we can go

anywhere anyway.

I'm still waiting on Joyce

to send me

a f*cking text message, so...

What?

Nothing.

Holy sh*t.

You got a call, didn't you?

Well, tell me. What'd they say?

I got it.

-You got it?

-f*ck yeah, I did.

f*ck yeah, you did.

Here. Here, put this on.

You're like

the king of jobs today.

I'm not wearing your stupid

crown. It looks ridiculous.

Beautiful, man!

See, he got it! He got it!

It's f*cking

amazing, man! g*dd*mn!

Okay, so what--

Tell me about the timeline.

What-- what's going on?

Are you, uh-- uh...

When-- when you flying the coop,

because truth be told,

I've had my eye on

your espresso machine and

microwave for quite a while now,

so, like, I want to make sure

I can steal that sh*t

before you pack it up.

I...

said that I'd get back to them

in a couple of days, and they...

Um, stop, stop. What?

Why the hell would you say that?

You have been obsessed and

consumed with this

for the last two years.

This has been your life.

Remember that anxiety attack

you had at the library,

and I had--

You had to leave the Kappa

Gamma party, even though

you were with Lola McGrady.

Yes, I remember.

You bring it up every single

St. Paddy's Day.

You remember how hot she was?

You still came and took me to

the hospital anyway,

and you didn't have to do that.

Campus health was

already on its way.

And last Christmas, you

remember when my plane

was stuck on the tarmac,

and didn't even

end up taking off,

and I was gonna have to spend

the night in the terminal?

What are best friends for?

Oh, so we're best friends.

I'm your best friend.

You know, I've got--

I've got, like, other

best friends, like three or four

of them waiting in the wings.

You're just kind of, like,

watching in the--

the background, so...

With this new job, I'm gonna be

making good money.

Real good money.

Is this you, like, gloating,

or... because I'm-- I'm usually

the one who likes to gloat.

I want you to come with me.

-To New York?

-Yeah.

I mean, you're the closest

thing I have to a brother,

and maybe it's selfish, but...

I don't have anybody

other than you.

And I want you there, man. I do.

I want my success to be

our success.

And, you know, it'd be a shame

to break up the band this late

into the game.

Dude, I-- I can barely afford

a one-bedroom apartment

out of here.

Let alone f*cking New York.

Yeah, I know.

You can stay with me.

The agency that hired me said

that they would put me up

in a two-bedroom,

and I told them I would

need a three-bedroom

to even consider it.

Look at you sitting at

the boardroom table,

already making demands. Attaboy!

Yeah, but...

what about Audrey?

Why do you think I asked

for a three-bedroom?

You son of a b*tch.

You are going

to fit in perfectly.

And so are you.

Oh, oh, hang on.

Phone vibrate...

Yep, okay, text from Joyce.

"Okay, guys,

come on down. Showtime."

Um, hi, fellas.

Uh, this is on the house.

I just want

to say congratulations.

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

Yeah, I think

it's a really great idea

to get out of this place.

So how long

have you two been dating?

-We're not.

-Three years.

Oh.

Yeah, I'm not

going to eat this piece.

It's got mold on it, so it's--

here. It's all yours.

This doesn't look like

the hills or the mountains.

Yep, and this is why

I bring you places with me,

so you can just tell me sh*t

that I'm already aware of.

Is that f*cking sarcasm?

Excuse me, but can you, uh,

tell me where the gym is?

Is it, uh, ooh, this way,

or is it, uh, oh, that way?

Why are you

wearing a crown?

What, what is this?

I am the homecoming king,

obviously.

Obviously.

Yo, Audrey.

Are you sure

we're in the right spot?

According to Joyce.

This does seem

right up Joyce's alley, so...

Oh, I heard you were

bringing a guest.

Oh, yeah.

Creepy guy from the bar?

-Ouch.

-Uh, hold up, I'm confused.

You two know each other?

-Yeah.

-No.

Uh, no.

-Uh, kinda?

-Kinda.

Dude, what the f*ck,

you went to the bar without me?

Dude, I'm sorry,

I'm trying to do this--

Uh, text from Joyce.

Uh, "Come in, losers."

Shall we go?

sh*t.

William!

Let's go, I'm freezing my

f*cking n*pples off out here.

Come on.

Dude, holy sh*t.

Right? You just literally took

the words out of my mouth.

Holy f*ck, Joyce,

this is awesome.

Oh, yeah, Great Dane likes this.

They call you Great Dane?

He calls himself that.

Hey, uh, you're not gonna talk

in the third person

all night, are you?

Maybe. I am prom king.

Thought you were

the homecoming king.

Whatever the f*ck kind of king

I am, I'm-- I'm still king.

So what, Joyce was planning

a party this whole time?

Yeah. Yeah, she must have been

planning it for weeks.

How? I thought we just decided

this, like, a couple hours ago.

Any word on Jake and Riley?

Yeah, um,

Jacob texted me.

He said that they're gonna

be a little late,

'cause Riley

had a costume snafu.

I'd be shocked if they show up

at all.

They can't stand Halloween.

That's good enough reason for

us to go on without 'em.

No sketch pad?

No, I left it at home so that

some guy

doesn't ask me about it.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah.

Mmm, I like your costume.

Yeah, thanks.

I got some good advice

on it earlier.

Did you ever get

that phone call?

Happy drinking tonight.

Yo, what's going on with

Riley and Jacob?

I mean, where the hell's Joyce?

She's lurking

around here somewhere.

After last year?

What happened last year?

Oh, we don't talk about

last year.

Last night, there was a m*rder.

A gruesome m*rder where two

people were skinned

and dismembered.

Their remains were used for

an ancient sacrifice,

to an evil

that time had forgotten.

Hey, no more

ghost stories, okay?

You're gonna give William

over here nightmares.

Hey, no, f*ck it.

He's-- he's lying.

I'm not, I'm not. Look, I-- I

got-- I got the video, actually.

-Right here with my phone.

-Oh, no phones tonight.

I'm so tired of people not

living in the moment. William?

I left my phone at home,

so that if they call back,

I can just

tell them I didn't get it.

Smart.

What if we cruise around?

Joyce probably has some more of

these rooms set up.

Could be spooky fun.

Now, how can a guy turn down

that offer?

Sounds spooky dangerous to me.

Not to mention,

tetanus-infested.

Maybe we wait here

for the others?

Besides, I could use a drink.

Uh, happy drinking, right?

Um... this looks fancy.

Anyone interested?

We can eat and drink and watch

a movie anytime.

Come on, let's do this.

Hey, Dane the Great.

My sister was studying

to be a doctor,

so she's pretty f*cking smart.

I'd listen to her about

needing a drink.

Why don't we just let Maddie

and William do their own thing,

and we can go do our own thing?

Besides, it's Halloween.

Isn't it kind of your guys' jobs

to make sure that a girl

doesn't drink alone tonight?

True, but there might be a

bigger bar in there.

And if Joyce set all this up

out here,

then there might be something

better in there.

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Really?

I-- look, if he's wrong,

we'll figure it out pretty quick

and be back here

before the beer gets warm.

Ah!

All right.

Well, Audrey and I will go...

-This way.

-This way.

You two can go that way.

Okay. See you guys in a few.

It's f*cking cold up here.

Yeah. I mean, I thought

it would be romantic.

Yeah, I got something that

might warm you up.

Yeah, okay.

If you even try to touch me

with those cold a*s hands,

I'll cut your ba*ls off.

Okay.

No, really. Try me, I will.

Whoa, whoa. Easy. Easy there.

All right? I'm going to need

a little something

to drown my sorrows if I don't

get any action out here.

Well, the best way to get some

action up here

is to keep feeding me this.

It makes me happy.

Well, I might know of a way to

make it a little more perfect.

Nice try.

But no, seriously.

Hanging out with you is, um--

it's really good for me.

Good for you?

No, that's not

what I mean.

You know what I mean.

Or maybe you don't. And, uh...

Ever since I met you,

I've been really happy.

The happiest I've been

in a while.

And, um...

I wanted

to tell you that, um, I...

The hell was that?

Joyce, probably?

Or, I don't know,

William and Madison, maybe?

Yeah.

Hey, it's fine.

Joyce is probably

just f*cking with us.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm f*cking stupid.

You're not stupid,

you're just...

feeling a little of the evil

in there.

What?

It's All Hallow's Eve.

Evil is everywhere.

But don't worry.

I've got you.

Whoa.

Joyce must have spent some

serious time on this.

This is wild.

Uh, you know...

Some people say that Halloween

is about disguising yourself.

So when the spirits come over

from their side to ours,

we're safe.

And you already knew that.

Yeah.

That's not what Halloween

was originally for.

-No?

-No.

The festival of Sauin was...

much darker.

It was a time to offer

something to the spirits.

Food, trinkets, something.

But the old spirits grew

tired of this.

They began to covet more

than people's scraps.

So, people began sacrificing

animals, family members,

even children,

to appease the spirits.

Sometimes even

that wasn't enough.

Occasionally, the spirits would

choose a bloodline.

And that bloodline

must make an offering.

An offering?

Mm-hmm.

And the only kind of offering

the spirits wanted

was that of human flesh.

Bone.

Tendon.

Heart.

Brain.

Lungs.

All the things that make up

a living person.

Every year, on a single day,

an offering must be made.

The last day, in the tenth

month of the year,

the harvest occurs.

But what if there is no harvest,

or they don't make an offering?

Pain.

Suffering.

Death.

What makes

this bloodline so special?

Nothing.

That's why they're chosen.

Or something like that.

You're good.

You are really good.

I don't even believe

in curses, but you sold

the sh*t out of that.

Even if it's not true.

That's the thing

about the truth,

it doesn't matter if

you believe it or not.

Hey Joyce, I found you!

-What-- what's happening?

-I...

I just saw Joyce.

Yo! I love what you've

done with the place!

No, no, I'm

sure you didn't see her.

Well, I don't see her now,

but she's probably hiding.

You don't know Joyce, she loves

scaring the sh*t out of people.

I mean, look at this place!

Yeah.

Hey, if you said you saw her,

let's-- let's go and find her.

Cool.

Joyce?

What the f*ck?

That's too far, Joyce. That's...

Hey, did you ever meet...

Joyce?

Uh, she loves this sh*t.

I actually saw her outside

when we first got here,

and, uh, I think she's just

-trying to freak us out.

-What?

Yeah, she, uh...

She did this thing

last year, where she scared me,

and then put it on the internet.

No, you-- you said

you saw someone outside

the building when-- when

we were all together.

Yeah, I didn't want to

say anything because I

kind of wanted to see what

she would do when she scared us.

You're sure?

You're sure you

saw someone else?

Yeah, pretty sure. I...

Why would anyone else be here?

Joyce, what the f*ck?

It's Madison!

Audrey's--

Well...

Wait, stop, stop.

What the f*ck are these?

Oh, sh*t.

Okay, all right, all right,

don't panic, don't panic.

Uh, it's probably

a breaker or something.

I-- I can find it with this.

Just give me one second,

and we'll just go ahead--

Audrey?

Audrey!

Jesus, Audrey.

Hey, you all right?

Okay. This is a little much.

Why don't we keep moving?

I want to show you something.

What?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's not exactly the word

I would use to describe this.

Audrey, Joyce propped

this up so we'd maybe

find it and be scared, and--

I gotta be honest,

she's doing a hell of a job.

And I'm assuming you've

been in on it the whole time

since this

mask has been up here.

The spirits are envious.

They demand things.

So we have to give

them what they want.

Or they will punish us.

See?

Oh my god.

Audrey...

Wh-- Why-- Why?

I'm so very sorry, Dane.

You were

everything I could ever want.

You really were.

I love you.

Why are you doing this?

Please, stop.

Please, stop.

I know.

I know you do.

You're a good guy, Dane.

I'm sorry, this is

just something I have to do.

My life.

Madison's life.

Hanna's life.

My sisters are

the most important thing to me

in this entire world,

and their lives

depend on the offering.

And...

I like doing it.

I do. I like it so much.

You've given

me something that makes me

feel more

alive than anything else.

And William is going

to do the same for Madison.

Oh... It's okay.

Just let go.

Oh, shi--

Oh, William, run! Run, man, run!

Get out of here!

You're not going anywhere.

I need parts of you.

Hanna, love what

you've done with the place.

No! No! No!

Oh, no...

Maddie...

Maddie, something's

happened to Hanna.

Are you done with William?

We need to start the ceremony.

Maddie, can you hear me?

We need to

start the ceremony now.

It's

too late, Audrey.

Hello?

Audrey...

Audrey!

Where are you?

Audrey, where-- where are you?

Audrey, please.

We need to go!

Madison!

No. No!

No!

Where's Madison?

Audrey? What happened?

Where's Dane?

I need to find Madison.

Where is she?

So-- Something happened.

Someone's in here with us.

-William, where is my sister?

-We were attacked!

Some freak show in a

scarecrow mask attacked us!

What?

You were right there!

No, a scarecrow mask...

Are you sure?

Yes.

Where... Where's Dane?

Was he who...

Is that your blood?

No.

Uh, Dane and I were attacked

by the same person in the mask.

We fought him off.

Uh, we found this in

one of the other rooms.

Where is he?

Why isn't he with you?

He-- He hurt his leg.

I left him a few rooms back.

William, I need to find Madison.

I need to make sure he's okay.

William, he's

not going anywhere!

He told me to tell

you that he's fine and

that he wants you to help me.

I need you. Madison needs you.

There's someone in

here trying to k*ll us!

Let's go! Now!

Madison!

I need to find Dane.

Oh, Maddie.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Get your hands up, now!

What's your name?

Audrey.

Audrey, did you do this?

What?

Did you do this?

She-- she's my sister.

She's my little sister.

7 Mary 3.

I need medical, fire

and ambulance to my location.

At least one

dead and one in shock.

Let's move you over

here until paramedics arrive.

No...

Dispatch, I need

medical here ASAP.

She's my sister.

She's my little sister.

Dispatch, you let me

know when those units are close.

I'm going to stay on

site and wait for backup.

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's all right. Here, here.

Hey, drink this.

You're going into shock.

You need water, or your body

will start shutting down.

Jesus Christ.

What happened here?

Was it painful when

you saw your sister,

cut in half like that?

Part of her on one side

and part of her on the other?

I...

Am I being insensitive?

I'm sorry.

Actually, I don't

know why I keep saying that.

I tried really hard to hurt her.

I want to look you in the face,

but I get so

f*cking mad when I do.

The radio doesn't work.

It's just for show.

And the uniform?

Just a costume.

It's all fake.

Just like you and your sisters.

You don't know who I am.

And why would you?

How many families have

you and your sisters destroyed?

Hm? Do you know?

Probably lost count.

Hanna kept hers in

a nearly identical container.

I had to dilute it with

water, so you'd drink it.

This stuff smells like sh*t.

This is David.

I grieved over the loss

of my son for a long time.

Didn't sleep,

didn't eat, barely talked.

I thought about k*lling myself.

I sat for a long

time with a bottle of whiskey

and a loaded .45 on my lap.

I was so mad they hadn't

found out who m*rder*d my son.

All I could think

about is the person who k*lled

him was out there.

Turns out,

David had a girlfriend.

He never talked

about your sister.

Never even showed

me a picture of her.

No pictures, no videos.

No record.

Smart.

You probably thought, when you

took his phone from his body,

that the pictures

disappeared with him.

But he sent the photos

from his phone to his computer.

b*tches probably

didn't think of that.

Dane! Dane!

We gotta get out of here, man.

Something happened

with Madison and...

f*ck.

I didn't go

to the police because...

Because this is what I wanted.

I want to do this for my son!

I wanted you to

know that you failed

your sisters

the same way I failed my son!

That's why I saved you for last.

I wanted you to feel the sudden

loss of seeing Hanna.

I wanted you to

feel the hopelessness

when you found Madison.

I wanted you to

see your sisters chopped

into pieces the same

way you did to my son!

I want you to

have this on for what's next.

And now,

I want you to feel

your skin melting off your body.

screaming]

You added too much water.

I didn't k*ll your f*cking son.

He cried, and he whimpered,

and I cut his f*cking head off.

And now, I'm gonna k*ll you.

You m*therf*cker,

you k*lled my sisters!

Did you find him?

You said he was okay.

I said he wasn't going anywhere.

Did you k*ll him?

Yes.

Why?

It's just

something we have to do.

He loved you.

Did you know that?

They always fall in love

with me.

It makes this easier.

He was my best friend.

Did you k*ll Joyce too?

And Riley. And Jacob.

And a lot more people

that you have no idea about.

I should have let

him k*ll your sister.

Probably.

I don't expect

you to understand.

And I just lost my

two f*cking sisters.

So I'm gonna take this axe,

and I'm gonna cut

your f*cking head off.

114 West Devonshire.

Building 3.

I found it next to Dane's body.

The police

are already on their way.

And they're gonna find you.

With that mask...

And this axe.

The harvest is eternal.

No! No-- No!

No!
