Amityville Clownhouse (2017) Movie Script

1
James!
Kelly!
Come on down.
The party's starting.
I hate this house.
I hate our parents.
I hate birthdays.
Most of all, I hate her.
She still thinks I'm 10.
She's a moron, that's why.
Our mom is a moron.
Do you know where Dad is?
Well, probably where he's been
since we moved
into this shithole,
locked himself in the bathroom.
Do you blame him?
This is unacceptable!
I worked all morning
on this cake,
making it just the
way you like it.
So you better come down now!
Come on, we better go
down and face the torture.
Last time she was
screaming like this,
well the neighbors
called the cops on us.
Was she really that surprised
to see birth control
pills in my room?
I'm 18 for fuck's sake.
I am going to burn that thing.
I'm gonna dig a
hole in the backyard
and burn it.
Goddamn him for bringing
something so ugly
into my house.
There's my birthday boy.
I remember the
day you were born.
39 hours of labor.
The doctor didn't
think I'd make it.
You were a fat baby.
Where's Dad?
Forget about him.
This is James's day.
Let's sing.
Happy birthday to you
Time to make a wish.
Shouldn't we ask
Dad to come down?
Oh, he'll be coming.
It's a surprise.
You'd don't wanna ruin
James's surprise, do you?
Make a wish, James, dear.
Now remember, don't
tell anyone your wish
or it won't come true.
You got your wish, son.
This isn't funny.
Is this recording?
It started over 40
years ago at that house
in Amityville.
For the next several decades,
the evil spread like the plague.
We can't control it.
It's like a disease.
Infecting everyone
and everything
it comes in contact with.
That retched place was
destroyed a long time ago.
But not before an estate sale.
There are dozens of documented
and apparently
related incidences
of unexplained phenomena
dating back to the 1980's.
First the lamp
then the old clock,
and later a mirror and
a replica dollhouse.
All are believed to
possess the same evil
that was birthed at that place.
That wicked toy was obtained
from that very home.
But even I know evil never dies.
Keep it down, will ya?
Oh, fuck you, nobody's gonna
hear us down here anyways.
So why are we here again
instead of at the movies?
Movie, you want a movie?
Do you know what
happened in this house?
Don't know, don't care.
Last week Ty Panborn, a
Rhode Island State Senator,
dressed up as a clown
for his son's birthday.
Oh, well holy shit, that's
more than enough reason
for me to break into
an abandoned house
and crawl around
a dark basement.
It gets better.
It better get better.
While the mother,
son, and daughter
were all downstairs
lighting the candles
of the birthday cake,
dear old dad came down
and in full Bozo regalia
and blew the entire family
away with a shotgun.
And as you can tell by
the dry state of my pants,
I have clearly not
pissed myself in fear.
We are here on a mission.
And that mission is money.
See, there are lot of
sickos in this world,
and rumor has it
somewhere in this house
tucked away is a bit of
memorabilia from the murder scene.
Get this, and there's
freaks who collect this shit.
I mean, we can't sell
anything on Ebay,
but you know, the dark web,
well let's just say that
what we're looking for
has a pretty high asking price.
Okay, money I like.
What exactly are we looking for?
A painting.
Of a clown.
Eh, I fucking hate clowns.
Nobody likes clowns.
But we better start
looking for it.
I'll search down here with Sara.
Guy, why don't you
search upstairs.
We'll meet on the second
floor in 20 minutes.
Sounds like a plan.
All right.
Oh, you bitch!
- You fucking bitch!
- Oh-huh.
Why do you have to be
such a fucking bitch?
When I see an
ass that shapely,
I just have to grab a handful.
You know, that's
sexual harassment.
And I don't have
to tolerate it.
Oh, can you tolerate this?
I could find the time.
But not right now.
Come on, let's go upstairs
and see if Guy's
found anything yet.
Fine.
Come on, Guy.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
There you are.
Sara, I found it.
I found it!
Grab Guy and let's get
the fuck outta here.
What the fuck?
Let's have some fun, lover!
Do you know what fun is?
Oh, my God.
Fun is where I eat
your fucking heart
out of your chest!
This is the one.
Are you serious?
That thing gives me the creeps.
Anything I can
help you two with?
How much for the monkey?
Ah, the monkey.
It certainly is one of a kind.
You know they don't
make these anymore.
Oh, I know.
It's exactly like the
one I had as a kid.
Honey, are you
wouldn't rather get
that UPS board game instead?
No way,
this is perfect.
I can't guarantee
that it works.
Well that's all
right, I don't mind.
I'm great with my hands.
I'm sure I could fix him up.
How much did you say he was?
$50.
- $50, what?
- Sold.
Babe, no, 50 bucks, really?
This guy is good
for way more money.
He is so worth it.
Let me get you a receipt.
I won't be needing one.
I'm keeping him.
Goodbye.
Come back soon.
What do you think?
I think you need help.
Mm.
Mm.
Hungry?
I'm starving.
We should have ordered
more egg rolls.
I still can't believe
you got that kid's toy.
The monkey?
He's awesome.
What do you want
with that thing?
I wanna fix him up.
Give him life again.
I lost my old one when we
moved when I was a kid.
I always missed him.
This sort of makes up for that.
What am I gonna do with you?
Mm.
Oh, what on earth was that?
Probably rats.
It's that time of year.
Rats, are you serious?
Mm, the one's around
here are harmless.
If it makes you feel better,
I can set some traps
in the morning.
Oh, I think I'd
like you to do that.
I'll do it tomorrow afternoon.
I got that meeting
in the morning,
and I need to hit the hay soon.
Promise you'll
take care of it.
I promise.
Hey sexy,
how'd you sleep last night?
Nightmares, I'm running late.
What about your coffee?
It's okay, I only
woke up an hour early
to make it for you, honey.
Did you forget something?
Ben?
Ben, is that you?
Ben?
Owl.
Where is it?
See an
owl right there?
- Where is it?
- Over there.
And I see a moon.
Michelle, what's wrong?
There's something
going on in this house.
What are you talking about?
Ever since you brought
that monkey home yesterday.
This is
about the monkey again?
Damn it, Ben, I've been
hearing strange noises all day.
Footsteps, doors slamming.
At first I thought it was you
coming back for something,
but you weren't there
when I went to look.
It's probably the
rats in the attic
making that noise.
I told you I'd set
up some traps today.
It's not rats.
Rats don't slam doors.
- It's something else.
- Look, I don't know
what to tell you.
I've had a long day.
I'll go set the traps and
then I'm going to bed.
You're not even
listening to me.
Oh, Schnookums,
okay, slow down.
Okay, baby, slow down.
Oh, oh, wait, baby.
Look.
What's happening?
There are
droppings everywhere.
Definitely rats.
Oh, I'm sorry for
getting so upset.
It's fine.
The traps are set,
let's go to bed.
What's the matter?
Are you okay?
I can't sleep.
I'm going for a drive.
Hey baby, how
you doin' tonight?
Good now that I found you.
Good, are you
looking to party?
Always.
Get in.
Oh, okay.
So where are you taking us?
Your place.
Well my place it is.
My dollars?
Remember?
So have it ready for me.
So do you mind putting your
money on the dresser first.
So what would you like
me to do to please you?
Hey, take it easy,
I'm totally willing.
Hey, you're going too fast.
What is wrong with you?
Dirty whore!
What are you doing?
Cut it out!
Let go!
- Get down!
- No!
- No, no!
- Shut up, bitch!
So how do you
feel this morning?
Rejuvenated.
Where did you
end up going last night?
Just around, cleared my head.
Listen, I'll see ya tonight.
I love you.
There's no droppings,
no footprints.
The traps haven't
been hit either.
What are you saying?
You got no rats
up here, ma'am.
You're clean as a whistle.
I don't understand.
My husband said
he saw droppings,
and I hear them or
something up here
moving around all the time.
Well whatever it
was, it's gone now.
You got nothing up here.
Wait, what do I owe you?
Don't worry
about it this time.
Just keep the traps set
and you'll be fine.
I'll see my way out.
Oh, God.
What is it now, Michelle?
There's a ghost in this house.
A ghost?
What are you talking about?
It threw a knife at me!
A knife?
Yes, this afternoon after
the exterminator left.
Wait, what was the
exterminator doing here?
I already set the rat traps.
It's not rats, you said
there were droppings,
you lied to me.
Why did you lie about it?
Look, get off
my case, Michelle!
I've been working all day!
I just wanna shower before bed!
What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting so different?
It's that monkey.
I know it is.
The monkey?
The monkey?
Get off that already!
You know, sometimes I think
you just don't want
me to be happy.
Ben, what are
you talking about?
Benny, please!
Ben, are you awake?
I'm sorry.
I guess maybe sometimes
I overreact a little.
Oh, okay.
Honey, honey, slow
down, slow down.
Okay, okay stop, stop.
Honey, please.
Please, stop!
Stop!
Slow down!
Shut your
dirty mouth, whore!
Oh, God, stop, Ben!
Ben, no, stop!
Shut up!
No Ben, stop!
- No, stop, Ben!
- Shut up!
Ben, no!
I just don't know what
to do with you Michelle.
I think you need help.
This house isn't haunted.
You're acting crazy.
I think you need so see someone.
Maybe we should split
up, temporarily.
Split up?
We can't go on
like this, Michelle.
You haven't been a
wife to me in months.
What did you call last night?
What are you talking about?
You beat the shit out of
me and then had your way!
What are you talking about?
All these bruises!
What bruises?
We'll finish this conversation
when I get home tonight.
I don't have time to deal
with your neuroses right now!
But the monkey!
Yes?
Hi, I'm sorry to bother you
but I'm your new
neighbor next door.
I heard some screaming before
and I just wanted to make sure
that everything was okay.
Is, is he beating you?
Oh, you poor thing, oh.
Come in.
Thanks for listening.
I just, I don't have
anyone else to talk to.
Well if you ever need
a safe place to go,
I'm right next door.
I really appreciate
that, thanks.
You know, it's really
none of my business,
but I was walking by
your house the other day
and I noticed a red glow
coming from your attic.
Oh, that damn dog.
You know, there's
something up there
that she doesn't like.
Well thanks for stopping over.
I'm feeling better now.
Oh okay, well
don't be a stranger.
You know if you need
anything just come by.
All right, thanks again.
Schnookums, you
naughty, naughty doggy.
You embarrassed Mommy in there.
You little baby.
What was wrong, huh?
What was happening?
Did I imagine that?
Give me the number for
Jessie's Junk Drawer, please.
Jessie's Junk,
how may I help you?
Hi, um, I don't know
if you remember me
but a few days ago
my husband and I
bought a toy monkey from you,
and you wouldn't
happen to remember
where you got it, would you?
Why do you ask?
Well, this is
gonna sound strange,
but I think there might be
something wrong with it.
I told you that it didn't work
and I tried to
give you a receipt.
No, no, not that, I
mean, something else.
Maybe supernatural.
Is this some
kind of prank call?
'Cause lady, I've got
better things to do.
Just tell me where
you got it, please?
An estate sale.
An estate sale.
Do you remember which estate?
The Jenson estate.
You mean, where all
those murders happened?
I don't know
anything about that.
I don't have time
for this, lady.
I've got better things to do.
I'm gonna go now, bye.
Wait!
Just in, 12 confirmed dead
just outside of Lincoln
in the state of Nebraska.
Information is coming through
on 12 bodies have been found
just outside of Lincoln.
Police have yet to release
the names of the dead
but most are believed to be
members of the same family.
Witnesses are said to have
heard several gunshots
coming from the
house in the area
believed to be owned
by Mr. Mark Jenson.
We go over now to Lincoln police
to speak to Officer Chad Wilson.
Officer Wilson.
Hi, Peter, yes, I'm afraid
that the final number of deaths
has now been confirmed at 14,
and I can also confirm that
the body of Mr. Mark Jenson
was one of them.
Mr. Jenson was and
remains our chief suspect
in this investigation due
to his having shot himself
at the roadside.
However, what led Mr. Jenson
to kill his entire family
still remains a
complete mystery.
He was a well known
and respected member
of this neighborhood,
if all is as it seems.
We've closed off the
surrounding areas
to press and visitors
and respectfully ask
all members of the
public to stay away
whilst we continue
to investigate.
Thank you, Officer Wilson.
Apparently, we've
got a recording
of a neighbor of Mr. Jenson's.
Let's see what he had to say.
I heard all these gunshots.
So, that's why I came outside
to see what was going on.
And that's when I saw the blood.
I'm sorry, I can't say anymore.
So what makes a man turn a gun
on his entire family?
I have with me today,
Father Hudson West
and retired police
detective, Dustin Stafford.
Gentlemen.
Hi, Peter.
How would you
evaluate this situation?
Well situations like
this are difficult
at the best of times.
Coming into it from, you know,
fairly cold like yourself,
I've just seen
what's been going on
on the news and
things like that.
Without knowing any kind
of background information
on Mr. Jenson, I
believe his name was,
it's very, very difficult
to actually appreciate
what's going through
his head at the time.
You know, I personally have
no working knowledge of him,
so I, you know, it's
very difficult to assess
as to whether there was any kind
of mental instability there,
whether it's been drug led,
- whether, you know
- It's all,
- excuse me.
- Yeah.
You guys, you always go down
that it's drugs and it's
bad family homes, it's
Well, I wasn't saying that,
- I'm just saying
- Yeah, but you do.
You people just don't understand
that there are other
things happening.
That there's other forces.
And something like
this, you know,
somebody just wiping
out an entire family
and you know, this gotta be
more than just a guy
flipping on drugs.
This is nothing
to do with drugs.
This is spiritual,
I'm telling you.
- All right.
- I'm telling you
that what happens here
is that they get possessed.
It winds me up so much.
All right, obviously,
I'm just looking
at the information that we're
getting on the news ourselves.
Well I'll give
you information.
What's coming
through on the wire.
I'll give you information.
I'll give everybody information.
Have you ever seen when a
wall just comes to life?
Have you ever seen mirrors?
Have you ever seen furniture?
- No Father, I have not.
- Houses?
Have you ever seen a theater
full of people that's possessed?
Have you ever seen a church?
Have you ever seen a
doll's house that is?
Have you ever seen blood
just spurting from the walls?
Have you ever, no,
- No sir, I have not.
- you couldn't have seen it,
because do you know why
you couldn't have seen it?
- Because you wouldn't
- Why not?
be sitting here
just like a normal guy
going, "It's drugs,
it's racist, it's the."
- It's not!
- Sure, I mean,
I don't know where you
getting your information from.
You know, we're
looking at the fact
that there was 12 dead here.
- You know, the reports.
- I'll tell, I'll tell you.
- You can only go on the
- I'll tell you.
- reports that are coming in.
- I'll tell you,
I'll tell you where
I get my information.
I've been there.
I've, I've seen, I've seen this.
I know what it looks like.
I've seen it with these eyes!
These eyes!
All right, just
No, no, you, you people,
you just don't wanna
hear the truth.
- What, we don't know
- I can't do this.
what the truth is yet.
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Where did you
get this guy from?
Okay, and I think we should
just go to a commercial break.
Schnookums, come to Mommy.
Baby, where are you?
Okay, don't go any
further, come back.
Schnookums?
Baby, where are you?
Schnookums, Schookums
come to mommy.
Schnookums, come to
mommy, come to mommy.
Schnookums, why do
you wanna go in there?
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
You've got 10 minutes.
So tell me what
happened, in your words.
You're in grave
danger.
What do you mean?
You have the
monkey, don't you?
How did you know about that?
That's
the only reason
why you'd be here.
It's evil, isn't it?
It's
more than just evil.
It's, it's the vessel
for which evil transfers
between physical locations,
spreading all over
like a plague.
It all began back in Amityville.
After he murdered
his entire family,
everything from the estate sale
went to auction houses
and antique shops.
It would be a whole 40 years
before
I would find it.
I don't understand, so
the ghosts of the family
entered the monkey
and made it evil?
It's the monkey itself
that caused the murders
in the first place.
Something
demonic took over that toy
a very long time ago
and won't let go.
How do you know all this?
It was me that
brought it back home.
It's, it's my fault.
My father killed
my entire family.
I purchased that monkey from
the Amityville Antique Shop
as a present for
his 50th birthday.
It all started when I
bought that fucking monkey.
Wow.
Mom, would you look at this?
It is.
This looks just like the
one I had when I was a kid.
Mm-hmm.
Where did you find this?
At an old antique
store back home.
I saw it and I
remembered you said
you had one when
you were little,
so I figured you'd like it.
Like it, I love it, dear.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Brown noser.
Wind it up.
All right.
Sorry, I
didn't think to check
to make sure if it
actually worked.
It's all right,
let me take a look at it.
Pathetic.
Of course he doesn't want you.
Stop this, you're
better than him.
You're better than this.
You don't deserve this, do you?
Do you?
Who is it?
Who's there?
Dad?
Dad, it's Julia, I
don't mean to barge in,
but are you okay?
Dad?
Dad?
Oh, shit, sorry Dad.
Um, we're all ready to go.
Go?
Yeah, you know, to the zoo.
I'm not feeling well.
I'm gonna stay here.
You kids have fun.
Are you sure your
family won't miss us?
We can meet up
with them later.
I want you now.
What about your grandma?
Won't she hear us?
Or your dad?
Don't be such a baby.
Grandma's basically deaf,
my dad's probably
holed up in his room,
and Cheyenne's probably
dead drunk somewhere.
So don't worry about her either.
Mm.
Come on, stud.
This is how you
raise your kids, Mark?
To fuck
where their grandparents
can hear 'em?
And out of the holy
union of marriage!
It's shameful, really.
Something should be done.
Goddamn Jeanie, this
is some good food!
- I admit it.
- Don't you talk
like that in this house!
You got me there, babe.
You go take care of
that racket, will ya?
I can't, I can't.
Stop me, Daddy.
You got Julia, the know
it all, spinster bitch.
Jenny the drunk.
You let Rihanna fuck that dimwit
under your own roof.
Britney, knocked up.
Don't even get me started
on that faggot Anthony.
My children are
good, decent people.
You're losing your family
right under your own eyes
and you don't even see it.
Jesus weeps for
your family, Mark.
What do
you want me to do?
Well you're
off to a good start.
You just need to
keep cleaning house.
Dad?
Oh, my God!
What have you done?
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh, my God, I think
the baby's coming!
You can't hide them forever.
Finish it!
- No.
- Do it!
What's wrong, Daddy?
I don't know.
Nothing's making
any sense anymore.
I know.
I know.
You look so much
like your mother.
That's why I'm your favorite.
Now stop me, Daddy.
No, no, no!
No.
That's not what I meant
by saving your family, son.
This, this is the solution!
Save them from themselves!
Just like you did Carol.
Do it.
Save 'em, do it, shoot 'em now!
Do it now, save 'em!
Shoot, shoot,
shoot, do it, do it!
Oh, my God.
Is that what I think it is?
- What the fuck?
- Oh, my God.
- What is he doing?
- What the fuck?
I don't,
I don't know, this.
Dad!
- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God!
Do it, kill 'em!
Pull the trigger, kill 'em!
Son of your blessing, kill 'em!
Pull the trigger!
Daddy!
And it's not just the
toy, either.
There's been murders
connected to that house
every few years for the
past several decades.
Lamps and
clocks and mirrors
and even a dollhouse
from that evil place
have all been present
during several
copycat killings in the 90's.
I think I remember
reading about some of those.
Weren't there some
movies made or something?
Hollywood
loves to exploit
what make's money.
Maybe, maybe I'll
even sell my story
for a made-for-TV movie.
So how do we get rid of it?
You must destroy
the physical body,
forcing it leave and move on.
So then that won't
really stop it, will it?
You can't stop evil
but only ward it off.
Evil never dies.
Times up.
You must destroy it!
You can't let it take
over anyone else!
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
Ben, I didn't
know you were already home.
Where have you been?
I went
to go see someone
about that toy monkey.
You're lying.
You were with a man,
you fucking whore.
What are
you talking about?
Ben, I didn't do anything.
Fucking bitch.
What are you doing?
Ben!
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Let me go!
What are you doing?
- Stop!
- Shh, shh.
Keep your voice down.
I must fulfill the legacy!
You, you are the final
sacrifice for Beelzebub!
The Lord of the Flies!
Come back here!
This house is fucking blessed.
What happened?
- What's going on?
- Let's get out of here.
How may I help you?
We've been here since
the dawn of time
Through the chasm
we had to climb
But we made it and
then God let us down
We waited patiently,
now the time is right
To release my minions
Bring down what
they've become
Bathed by their
moments, Sunday demonize
Oh, how your soul
tastes so sweat
We want so much more to eat
This is our
favorite retribution
This was your God's
cross solution
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
You can let this
surgically slip right in
We use the time instead,
you can't escape
You have no control
We are here for pain
Bring your soul
and under challenge
The general led me
through this shame
He took you from
your cross alone
Nowhere to run,
there is no home
Oh, how your soul
tastes so sweet
We want so much more to eat
This is our day
in retribution
This was your God's
cross solution
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
We are here to
bring you pain
On our cross you will remain
No cross too
Heaven well behind
Let me show you
Hell's great treasure
What was once pure
will be defiled
Oh, how your soul
tastes so sweet
We want so much more to eat
This is our day
in retribution
This was your God's
cross solution
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
Possess, possession
