Esther, where are you?
(chain rattles)
(Immanuel laughs)
Mahleta!
Mahleta! (Laughs)
Mahleta Elgin! (Laughs)
Yes, me know you are there. (Laughs)
You are not welcome here, oungan.
(Immanuel laughs)
Time to answer to me.
Answer for your crimes.
Answer for your insolence.
Dare ye practice Rada in me Parissh?
Granting gifts of love and
prosperity to non-believers.
Me have warned you, mambo.
If you wish to practice
the arts in me hounfo
you practice by me rules.
We shall grant their deepest desires.
Make them fortunes.
Fulfill all their carnal urges. (Laughs)
Cure their ills, vanquish their pain.
At what price?
Price?
You know the price. (Laughs)
We do not serve the bitter loa here.
You will serve who me tell you to.
(chain clatters)
(foot thuds)
(thunder crackles)
Be aware, I have heard the nonsense
of your family's spirit voodoo.
A wicked world had
little use for the sweet loa.
And those who appeased this notion
will be dealt with accordingly.
Like Miss Tichiba Worthy,
formally of Tichiba's Earthly
Creation on Fifth Street.
(eerie music)
(Mahlet gasps)
Guilty! (Laughs)
(head thuds)
Me have your attention, yeah?
And what of Esther?
Dear sister Esther. (Laughs)
What of her?
Complicity in every
sweet loa at this very shop.
Dear Esther.
Guilty! (Laughs)
(Mahlet screams)
(upbeat music)
(footsteps shuffle)
I like your necklace.
Oh, thanks. I've had it forever.
I want you to meet my dad.
(coughs) Come on.
What? No.
Yes, I'll pick you up.
We'll go to my parents.
You'll smile at my mom
while she puts out salad,
laugh at my dad's jokes, eat some meatloaf.
That sounds like the most
frightening interaction
of my entire life.
I'm slowly eating while your
dad looks at me disapprovingly.
It's not gonna be like that.
Yeah, it is.
He'll smile when you're looking,
but when you're not, he's
gonna shoot me a devil's glare.
That's what dads do.
Weird. So like, how
many dads have you met?
It's not like that. It's
just a strange situation.
[Actor] Killing the
beast is the only way
(sighs) Okay, fine, you win.
I'd love to meet your parents.
But you have to promise to go with me
on that show on Friday night.
The one with the weird clowns?
Yeah, the special edition
of the "Show Town Circus Troupe."
Bearded ladies, fire breathing,
feats of strength, clowns.
Wrestling clowns, they break concrete
on this guy's head with a sledgehammer.
Okay, calm down, Romeo.
Old Miss Beanstauffer's watching you.
(eerie music)
I've gotta get back to work.
[Kendall] But no, you
have five more minutes.
Ooh, I love a man in uniform.
(scoffs) You are crazy.
I am crazy, for you. Come here.
I can't. She's still watching.
[Actress] I can sense the beast.
[Kendall] Should I be jealous?
She hears all, she sees all.
She particularly likes the
young ones, especially you.
[Actress 2] No, I came out here
I will totally take you
up on that kiss later.
You better.
(car door bangs)
You know you don't
have to work here, right?
Not much longer, I won't.
How much more you
need for that old car anyway?
$942.18.
[Actor] I mean, he didn't
have... Lucien, let's go!
[Actor] And, his whole freak family were
Ugh. I'll be here when you get off.
You better be.
[Actor 2] We are gonna deal
with them the way they used
to deal with these freaks.
[Actor] What are you thinking?
[Actor] I don't know.
That stupid museum.
[Actor] Freak show museum.
Hey, Kendall. I got my car back.
Do you wanna go for a drive?
Me and Vicki are going to Palm Grove
to see the Palm Grove pig.
Do you wanna join?
[Kendall] You guys know
that's just a random pig
someone abandoned there, right?
No, it's an alien. Everybody says so.
Have you seen its eyes?
I don't know.
Don't you guys have a curfew?
We snuck out.
My parents think I'm at her house
and her parents think that I'm
[Kendall] Look, I get it, really.
I'd love to see a random
cryptid more than anyone else,
but I gotta be here by midnight.
You have plenty of time.
It's Halloween in a few days,
you have to do something
spooky with us.
- Blonde, baby, blonde. Oh.
- Oh my god.
- Double trouble.
Hey, where you going, baby?
The party just got here.
(hand pounds)
Yeah, your little tricks,
it'll be the time of your life.
Oh, and I see you have a friend.
Is she coming out to play? (Laughs)
There she is, my queen, Kendall Kane.
Creepy Kendall. (Clicks tongue)
My, my, my, you're
looking fine this evening.
Literally nobody calls me that but you.
Get lost. This is the best part.
Oh, you haven't seen
the best part yet, princess.
Don't you ever get tired of
hassling high school girls?
What, you graduated like three years ago?
Five years ago. But
you're 18 so it's cool.
No, I'm 17.
No one needs to know, baby.
Let me make this
really, really easy for you.
First time I met you, I wasn't interested.
And now, I'm somehow even less interested.
Why are you running away from me?
I just wanna talk to you.
You're feisty. I like it.
Mm, mm, mm. You know
I'm a pro wrestler, right?
Oh yeah, I shit you not.
The reverend thing, it's just a gimmick
'cause I am down with the sin.
Look, everybody's making friends tonight.
Why don't you and your
girlfriends, me and my boys
get a little party started?
Got smokes, some beer.
Even got a party boat I
borrow from time to time.
Borrow? Charming.
Yeah, I think I'd rather die.
Okay, you know, every
time I see you, Kendall Kane,
I try to spark up a bit of conversation,
but you constantly shut me down, man.
I mean, I get you're
weird but I kinda dig it.
I'm beginning to think you've got some kind
of problem with me, Kendall Kane.
I remember when you
were all pigtails and glasses.
I need to get back into that building.
Is there a problem here?
(footsteps shuffle)
Is there a problem here? Shut up, dude.
Hey.
[Reverend] Jackass.
Maybe we got off on the
wrong foot. Let's start over.
I'm Bobby Montrose. It's
a pleasure to meet me.
(chuckles) Watch your
toes, Bobby Montrose.
(keys jingle)
(car engine starts)
I think you're going
out of your crazy mind.
(tires squeal)
Crazy bitch.
[Actor 2 ] We can't stay here.
[Actor] Where else we gonna go?
[Actress] Stop this.
[Actor 2] Is everyone okay?
[Actress] I thought you
were... [Actor 2] I'm fine.
[Actor 2] Look, we
don't have a lotta time.
Hey fellas, let's go.
Those ladies aren't gonna wait all night.
[Actor] Do you really
think we should trust
Whoo-whoo! (Laughs)
(hands pounding)
Whoo-hoo.
(car door slams)
(car engine rumbling)
(ominous music)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps crunch)
I thought you guys
knew where we were going.
Been driving around for like an hour.
I've only been here once
and these roads all look the same.
So where's this demon pig thing anyway?
It's not a demon pig.
It's an outer space pig.
It's not from outer space,
but it's definitely been to outer space.
Years ago, this kid saw it get laser beamed
up into a UFO or
something, like 40 years ago
and then one night it just showed back up
and it's been here ever since.
It has never aged.
How long does a pig live anyways?
(owl hoots)
(footsteps crunch)
Look, I'm telling you, guys.
There's nothing out here.
(brush snaps)
(pig grunts)
What is that?
Where? What?
(pig grunts)
Come on Kendall, run.
(ominous music)
(pig grunts)
(owl hoots)
(pig grunts)
(footsteps pattering)
(Kendall yells)
Gorgeous.
We do run into each other
in the strangest places.
[Kendall] Speaking of swine.
(Reverend snorts)
Oh, the whole drove, I see.
Where'd your lady friends run off to?
[Kendall] It's been great
guys, but I'm gonna go.
Oh, no, no, no, no,
no. The night is young.
Get the hell off me.
(elbow thuds)
(Bobby groans)
Well, get that bitch.
(twangy country music)
[Buzz] Where do you think
you're going, you little cunt?
[Reverend] Yeah, come on,
we're not gonna hurt you. Ah!
Oh, I am. I'm gonna hurt you real bad.
(twangy country music)
Better get on home
Before the sun goes
Where are you little piggy?
Get on home
Oh, somewhere safe and sound
Reverend, you go that way.
Well there's danger in this town
Whenever that hoodoo come around
Hear 'em saying, in
that deep dark voice
Guitar playing
Well, you ain't got no choice
(log thuds)
(Bobby grunts)
(Bobby groaning)
Whenever that voodoo come around
You fuckin' bitch!
I'm goin' to get her,
I'm going to get her.
I'm gonna go get her!
I'm gonna get her!
I'm gonna get her.
I'm gonna get that bitch.
(log thuds)
(body thuds)
(twangy country music)
Where the hell are you?
Better tell your mama
Come back here now
or you're gonna wish you were never born.
You don't mess with me, bitch.
(log thuds)
(Bobby grunts)
Well there's danger in this town
Whenever the hoodoo come around
(Kendall gasping)
(body thuds)
Yeah, yeah. (Laughs)
Oh, shit. Oh shit, oh
shit, oh fuck me, man.
She's fucking dead.
You fucking killed her, Bobby.
She's fucking dead, man.
No. No, I think this
was an accident, Buzz.
I think she fell, hit her
head on a rock or some shit.
It is dark out here.
So that's the story?
There is no story, Buzz.
We ain't telling nobody about this.
Bobby, there's gonna
be cops coming up here
with fucking dogs and shit.
They're gonna be looking for her
with forensic files people and shit, man.
(Buzz panting)
Listen to me.
Those little tramps ain't saying anything,
and even if they do,
they'll be blabbing about
extraterrestrials and aliens.
By then, she'll be eaten by wolves.
Nobody's seen us here.
(ominous music)
(car engine rumbling)
(phone rings)
[Kendall] Hi, it's
Kendall. Leave a message.
(voicemail beeps)
Kendall, it's Lucien. Where are you?
(wind howls)
Good morning, I'm Anne Wilcox.
In local news today,
the Carbondale Sheriff's
Department is asking
for the public's help finding
a missing teenage girl.
Kendall Kane was last seen
by family members late Friday night
leaving her Carbondale residence.
(upbeat music)
Hey fellas, let's go.
Those ladies aren't gonna
wait all night. (Laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
Grass on the field.
Play ball, boys. (Laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
I can't wait to taste
these ladies. (Laughs)
They took my purse.
Hey!
Hey! I'm talking to you.
Where is she?
Where's who, dipshit?
[Lucien] Where's Kendall?
Where's Kendall?
Get the fuck out, man.
We don't know who you're talking about.
Don't play games with me, asshole.
I saw all three of you follow her out
at the drive-in last night.
You didn't see jack shit, twerp.
Why don't you stop running your mouth?
Let go of me. Where is she?
Let go of me. Where is she?
Where is she? Get off me.
You hear me? Get off me.
Good afternoon, James, Lucien, boys.
It's funny, for someone who
goes by the moniker Reverend,
you certainly miss Sunday
mass quite frequently.
Trust me, preacher,
I don't miss it one bit.
Oh, boys, the church's
doors are always open.
There's always time for redemption.
Oh, fuck me. Is that right, father?
'Cause, we're about to
go redeem these gift cards.
Father, shouldn't you be listening
to somebody's confession?
Not until my work here is done.
Well, it's done. So beat it.
(bone cracks)
(Bobby winces)
Careful now, boys. I've
got business with Lucien.
You three should be on your way.
Go.
Just go.
This ain't over, bitch.
I'm gonna kill them.
Lucien, you're a good kid.
What's going on with you?
Why are you messing around
with those troublemakers?
Kendall's been missing since last night.
Nobody has seen her. The
police haven't found her yet.
I know those bastards know something.
Lucien, I'm sorry. I hadn't heard.
You need to let the police do their job.
I'll pray for her safe return.
I need more than prayers, Father.
She could be lying in a ditch
somewhere, hurt or dying.
I feel helpless.
Okay, maybe there's another way.
(bright music)
Mahlet. Just give me a second.
Mahlet, this boy, I feel
the darkness around him.
Hatred, anger, remorse.
We have to help him, and
we have to help his friend,
the girl we've heard about on the news.
Father O'Reilly, always with your strays.
We have problems of our own.
The darkness has
reached this place as well.
An oungan, obsessed with the dark arts,
is bound to destroy
all things good, and us.
He's taken my Esther.
Oh, Immanuel. I can help you.
But only you have the ability to help them.
Like your Esther tried to help my sister.
My faith is strong, but I
should have let her help.
If I had, maybe Harlene
would be alive with us today.
I only possess the power of prayer.
Not like the magic that you practice.
I have very little influence
in this physical realm.
(ominous music)
I sense the conflict within you.
You're more capable than you believe.
If you want to find her and bring her back,
you'll drink this potion.
It will give you the power
to fight your enemies.
And by the sound of your voice,
your love will return her to you.
Father, he's too eager.
He doesn't understand the power
of these spells, the ramifications.
Please, I have to do this.
Once you drink this potion, you'll fall
into a deep sleep for 24 hours.
You'll see and hear everything
you need to find your love.
But if you're unable to wake her,
it'll feel like a terrible eternity.
You'll walk amongst dark deities
and experience anguish
like you've never imagined.
I can handle this.
Nothing scares me more than losing Kendall.
Hush, boy. This is
not about being scared.
These dreamscapes can tear you apart
mentally and physically.
Anything else?
The spell requires that we
make an unwavering bond.
You must agree that your
enemies become my enemies.
And my enemies become your enemies.
Your enemies are my enemies.
This is as close to hell
as you'll ever wanna go.
If it becomes too much to
endure, you can call my name
and I'll bring you back.
And Kendall?
You won't get your answers.
And Kendall will be lost forever.
(ominous music)
(Mahlet exhales)
(dust tinkles)
Out in the street
Looking up at your window
Swearing this is the last
time you tell me to go
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin, just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin, just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
The silver kiss, so
cool and so dangerous
Give me one night and this
will not be strange for us
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin, just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin, just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
I will give you immortality
Let me be your new reality
We're gonna rock
We're gonna fly
Forever young, never die
(Immanuel laughs)
Blood goes to blood
And I will make you mine
A dream of love, to last
through endless time
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
(Lucien grunts)
I'll sink my teeth
(Immanuel laughs)
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your skin
Just like a vampire
(Lucien gasps)
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get right under your skin
Just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
When you invite me in
I'll sink my teeth
I'll sink my teeth
I'll get under your
skin just like a vampire
Just like a vampire
Won't you invite me in
(eerie music)
Oh! (Gasping)
Lucien, I didn't think you would make it.
You've been asleep for over a day.
You're stronger than I thought.
I thought for sure you'd have to turn back.
I gotta find her. She's still out there.
She's not gone. Not yet.
I've gotta bring her back.
Where? What?
How do you know where she is?
I don't know but I do
know who can tell me.
Wait, you have to listen.
Kendall needs to hear
the sound of your voice.
Then nothing will be able to
stop her from returning to you.
Lucien, you find her
and bring her back here.
Find her and bring her
back here before night's out.
What have you made that boy do, Mahlet?
He'll be back, Father, and
all hell's gonna break loose.
Enjoy the show.
(cars hum)
Hi. Enjoy the show.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
(brakes squeal)
Are you trying to give
us a heart attack, Lucien?
Yo, Lucien. Where you been?
You're late for the spook shows
and old lady Beanstauffer is pissed, dude.
I don't care. Where'd you
guys go the other night?
We drove out to find
the Palm Grove pig, and
And what? Was Kendall with you?
She was, and then
we couldn't find that pig,
so we looked around.
Then we heard a noise. We
got scared and we ran off.
All of you ran off?
Well, we ran off, but we lost Kendall.
You just left her out there?
Did you tell the police?
No, I don't think that's a good idea.
My parents thought I was at her house.
And my parents would be
so pissed if they found out.
My dad's a complete monster.
I get it. I get it.
You're gonna take me out there.
Take you where?
Palm Grove Road.
No, I don't think so. I
am not going back out there.
This isn't our problem.
Okay, fine.
(cars hum)
(brakes squeal)
(hands bang)
It's a nice night, isn't it?
Hey, Bobby.
What did our little buddy there want?
I don't know, questions and stuff.
What kind of questions and stuff?
He's looking for Kendall Kane.
Kendall Kane?
Where's Kendall?
Kendall's missing.
Well, what did you tell him?
I don't know, that we
saw her the other night.
Where did you see her?
Did you tell him that?
Where did you see Kendall Kane?
Listen, we have to go.
Nah, ladies, I think
we're gonna go for a ride.
(door clicks)
(car engine rumbling)
(door squeaks)
Lucy, have you seen my golf cart?
No, I'm working here.
(golf cart sputters)
Kendall!
Kendall!
Kendall!
(Kendall gasps)
(soft music)
(golf cart rumbles)
(footsteps pattering)
(lighter flicks)
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes
The pipes are
(keys jingle)
Calling
(hand bangs)
So these little whores have been singing
on the way up here.
They wanna go to the cops and tell 'em
that they saw Kendall
here couple nights ago.
And they got this crazy idea
that you are responsible
for her disappearance.
[Bobby] Is that so?
Y'all wanna go to the cops now?
You know, your friend goes missing
and y'all can't say a word,
but now you wanna
accuse people of some shit?
It's not very neighborly, ladies.
So what do we do now?
Look around, Buzz.
See if there's any sign
of that little movie theater asshole.
Then check the water's edge,
and then check the ditch
and see what's left of the bitch.
Hey Bobby, give me my keys.
[Vicki] Yeah, this isn't
funny. We wanna go home.
Shut the fuck up!
Or I'll have the good Reverend
read you all your last rights.
So I don't know if that little
asshole came down here,
but she's gone.
What are you talking about, Buzz?
Dead chicks don't just disappear.
Even if there was a wolf or
some shit, there'd be clothes.
She's fuckin' gone, Bobby.
Gone means fucking gone.
So what do we do?
Would you just shut the fuck up?
Making big plans up in here.
We gotta be smart.
Reverend Jim.
Now you two bitches stay right here.
And if you move, I swear...
[Bobby] No loose ends.
(trunk creaks)
(trunk thuds)
- What are you doing?
- Oh my god!
(glass shattering)
(bat thuds)
Clean up, Reverend.
There's a lot to do tonight.
(ominous music)
Evening, ladies. Lovely
evening we're having.
Man, why is every woman around here
either old, fat, or married?
(upbeat music)
Holy shit.
Hey, where are you
coming from, beautiful?
All dressed up for some
Halloween party, I guess.
(door alarm dings)
(mellow music)
Hey there, big fella.
You looking for us?
No.
Hey girl, I was talking to you.
What are you up to tonight?
They call that shit cosplay.
They pick a character
and play it all night.
She ain't breaking character
for your grungy old ass.
Leave the girl alone, boys.
This place is for paying customers.
Shut the hell up, Carl.
Go count some produce or some shit.
(bottle cap clatters)
(bottle clatters)
Have you seen Lucien?
Nah, baby. I don't know no Lucien.
But Bubba here will be happy
to make your acquaintance.
You owe me $7.48.
I don't have any money.
(Bubba chuckles)
Well, you're in luck, young lady,
'cause I have plenty of money
and there's plenty more
where that came from.
I got a truck right outside,
take you anywhere you wanna go.
Leave the girl alone, Bubba.
Just take your beer and go.
[Bubba] I said shut the fuck up, Carl.
[Hank] Say, where did
you come from anyways?
I need to find Lucien.
Man, fuck Lucien.
Have you ever heard two in
the bush is better than one
in the tree?
You tell her, Bubba.
That's some wisdom and shit.
I'm serious. I will call the cops.
You ain't calling shit, Carl.
(phone clatters)
Get out of my way,
or you'll be very sorry.
Keep sweet talking me, darling.
You're gonna steal my heart.
Let her go, Bubba. I think
she hit her head or something.
Maybe she was in an accident.
Let's go for a ride.
[Hank] I'm going too.
Yeah you are, Hank.
We're gonna make some memories tonight.
Let me go.
(Kendall screams)
You little bitch!
(fist thuds)
(body thuds)
Oh, Hank.
Bitch, I'm gonna teach you some manners.
(fist thuds)
Oh my god!
(blood squishes)
Thanks for the memories.
(body thuds)
The water's on me.
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Kendall!
Hi baby. I knew you'd find me.
Lucien.
- What happened?
You're so cold.
Come with me. I know someone who can help.
We gotta go to Mahlet's shop.
Okay. Sorry about the mess.
Who's gonna clean this up?
(door alarm dings)
Hey, wait. There's something wrong.
What is it?
Kendall, I think you were dead.
That's crazy.
(golf cart rumbles)
(car hums)
(brakes squeal)
(door alarm dings)
(mellow music)
What in the shit happened here? Goddamn.
They broke my phone.
You did all this because
they broke your phone?
That's really shitty customer service.
You're a sick bastard, you know that?
I didn't do this.
I swear. I didn't.
Look man, I really don't
care what happened here.
It's really been kind of a strange night
and honestly, I'm not inclined to deal
with other people's bullshit.
Look, I didn't do
this. It was this girl.
She came in here and she kinda like...
Tell me more about this girl.
She was young, pretty,
and wearing this filthy dress.
A white dress? Pretty
girl in a white dress?
Yeah man, definitely. It was white.
I thought it was some kinda
Halloween costume or something,
but I don't know.
She was a serious wacko.
So this mystery girl comes in
and takes these two unlucky
dick holes to the promised land?
Yeah, and then, this
kid came in on a golf cart
and then they just rode off.
Kid on a golf cart?
Yeah, there was a kid on a golf cart.
He was wearing a green and
yellow varsity-type jacket
and then they just took off
like Bonnie and Clyde, man.
I'm too pretty for jail, man.
Shut up, you stupid dumb ass.
Look, do you guys
have a phone I could use?
I need to call the cops.
They get paid to deal
with this type of stuff.
I wanna call in and make a report,
and when they find the girl,
I'll get like a reward or something.
I'll share it with you.
No cops.
(lighter flicks)
(mellow music)
(eerie music)
(train creaking)
(smoke hisses)
(train squeals)
What the hell are you doing?
Hey driver, why have we stopped?
There's someone on the tracks.
Are you expecting anyone else?
Not till the next stop.
(thunder rumbles)
(Immanuel laughs)
(footsteps thud)
(Immanuel sighs)
Sir, do you have a ticket?
(lighter flicks)
There's no smoking on the trolley.
(eerie music)
(Immanuel laughs)
(somber music)
(Immanuel laughs)
(somber music continues)
(conductor coughing)
(passengers chattering)
Somebody should do something.
Hey, come on pal.
Look, these fine people work for me.
We have a sold out show.
People really wanna see it.
They paid good money.
Don't you worry man. There
will be a show tonight.
(somber music continues)
No, no, please, please,
please. I got kids.
(somber music continues)
You think we can take him?
I think so.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
(Immanuel laughs)
(somber music continues)
(all coughing)
(Immanuel laughs)
(upbeat music)
(passengers grunting)
(Immanuel laughs)
First we stop for more of your friends.
Then we see Mahleta! (Laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
(ominous music)
(liquid dribbles)
Oh, dear. Where is
that boy and that girl?
I fear something dreadful has happened.
(liquid dribbles)
Have you had enough yet?
I'll decide when I've had enough.
The good Lord gave
us free will, and whiskey.
What more do you need to know?
You need the strength
of your faith, Father.
We need you to be brave.
Don't hide in that bottle.
It's never easy fighting evil, Mahlet.
What do you know
of fighting evil, Father?
I've dedicated my whole life to it.
I've never fought a foe like this before.
He draws near, Father.
Every moment I feel his
soulless visage come closer.
The master of black magic voodoo.
The Petro deals dangerous things.
War, fear, resentment.
He deals in false
promises and death curses.
(Mahlet puffs)
The making of zombies.
(knuckles rapping)
Lucien, you made it. Kendall?
We're glad you both
made it back to us safely
but you got to go now.
Something wicked is coming here.
I think it's already arrived. Padre.
What happened?
Boy, tell me. Tell me everything.
I don't know.
I found the cream shop
and there were dead bodies everywhere.
I think Kendall did it. I
think she killed them all.
Don't jump to conclusions, baby.
I only killed two people so far.
Mahlet, she's not acting
right and her skin's cold.
I think she's dead.
Don't be silly, boy.
She stands before us.
You know he's coming, right?
That's why you brought me here.
Who's coming?
The devil. He building an army.
He's gonna kill you and you.
(ominous music)
They'll be here soon.
Are you all right, child?
What was it like?
Dying?
Cold. So cold.
I could feel the breeze
on me and around me.
Then you start thinking of everything
and nothing all at once.
Every moment with Lucien.
Every moment I've always dreamed
of, but I will never see.
And then you start falling for
what feels like an eternity.
I could feel the water flowing around me.
I was aware of my body,
but I couldn't move anything.
I could hear them as I stood over my body.
[Reverend] Yeah. (Chuckles)
And then it was just
darkness. Nothing but dark.
No angels, no bright lights, no choirs,
no loved ones rushing to
embrace you in their arms.
But in that moment, I
knew it wasn't forever.
I would see Lucien again
and that thought brought me through it.
That and the pain I'm going to inflict
on those monsters is
just going to be legendary.
Vengeance? You came back for vengeance.
That is not the way.
You can't sell me anything, priest.
We all know why I'm here.
No, it's not like that.
It isn't?
Mahlet here sent Lucien down
to hell to bring me back
so I could protect you all from the devil.
No, that's not true. Not intentionally.
There are dark forces at work here.
Why don't you tell us a story, Father,
about your time before you found God?
You've got blood on your hands.
You've killed. In a drunk
anger, you've killed.
Why don't you tell us that story?
I was young and full of anger then.
I walked in the darkness.
But I did what I did to protect my family.
I don't judge priests.
That's not my job.
Now that we've cleared the air here.
I've killed and I liked it.
I liked it a lot.
We're all guilty here.
Everyone but Lucien.
And that's why you're
gonna help me protect him.
Protect me? I'm gonna protect you.
Oh, you're cute.
(thunder rumbles)
Bring me Mahlet.
(thunder rumbles)
(ominous music)
(possessed clowns cackling)
(Immanuel laughs)
They're here.
(possessed clowns cackling)
(upbeat music)
(punch thuds)
(kick thuds)
(kick thuds)
Kendall, wait.
Those are innocent
people under a dark spell.
It's too late for them, Father.
They won't hesitate to kill you.
Lucien, no!
Mahlet!
(Mahlet screams)
(upbeat music continues)
Father, forgive me.
Mahlet.
Lucien, help.
Are you okay, Mahlet?
I just need a moment to rest.
I have to get back to the fight.
Immanuel won't stop so easily.
Even if Kendall kills so
many, he's resourceful.
Dark, evil incarnate.
(kick thuds)
(Immanuel chuckles)
Mahleta! She is superb.
Superb. Absolutely superb.
Where has she been hiding her?
(upbeat music)
(possessed clown wincing)
Kendall, is it over?
[Kendall] I wouldn't bet on it, father.
Okay, my sweet young girl.
Let's see how this feels.
(Kendall chuckles)
Oh yes. This is good.
This is very fine indeed.
You lovely girl,
I see your strength, exceeds your years.
I'm not sure that going
rogue is such a good idea
for someone as powerful as you are.
I feel that your powers are untamed.
Ill tempered.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, kid.
Your girlfriend scares the hell out of me.
I need to help. Do
some kind of spell on me.
I don't think, Lucien...
It doesn't work that way.
I can provide you spells of protection.
I can help you see things,
but I can't grant you powers.
Great.
You have magic, the father has the power
of the church behind him
and my girlfriend is an
absolute killing machine.
What have I got?
(door squeals)
You have my heart.
Kendall, do you think it
might be time for the sacrament?
The sacrament of reconciliation?
Of penance?
No need for penance.
I literally just killed a
bunch of assholes out there.
Oh, okay. Perhaps a little later then.
Sure.
Oh and by the way, Father,
after this is all finished,
you're gonna marry Lucien and I.
I don't care about the whole
white dress and church thing,
but he does so you are
gonna make it happen, right?
Of course.
Thank you. You know I like you.
I like your beard.
One last chance to join me, girl.
Why would I join you?
You have no power over me.
This may be true,
but there are things you don't know,
things only me can't teach you.
Your strength is waning.
I should just go over
there and kill you now.
It is not me you want to kill.
I feel it now.
There are others,
others who have wronged you.
Yes. Come with me.
Let me guide you.
I can show you ways to
achieve unmanned power.
Shut it, voodoo man. I
want nothing to do with you.
The more I look at
you, the more I want to...
No, I need to kill you.
It's because of that blackness inside you
and you need to feed it?
You feel better when you
kill, don't you? (Chuckles)
There's a price for resurrection, girl.
You can never stop killing
as long as you breathing.
(Kendall screams)
(Immanuel groans)
Lucien, bring me the
book, the one on the end.
And tell your friends to get down here now.
Our powers are not unlimited.
Kendall?
Me know you, boy.
It all makes perfect sense now.
She is the object of your affection
but she will join me when I inform
her of your betrayal. (Laughs)
Kendall! Kendall!
Kendall! Kendall!
(tires screech)
(upbeat music)
(car doors bang)
Well, we thought we missed a party,
but it looks like it's
just getting started.
Hey look, fella, we
want no beef with you, bro.
We are here for her.
So whatever business you have going on,
just wrap it up and move along.
Looks like y'all had your Halloween fun,
but it's a little late
for trick or treating, pops.
(possessed clowns grunting)
Oh my gosh, look at this shit.
You got the cabbage patch
pajama dance party going
on over here.
You fools, you have no idea the level
of power you are making a mockery of now.
I could crush you all.
Listen here, boy,
don't make us go all
Mississippi Burning on your ass.
You stay away from her, boy.
This will be your only warning.
(upbeat music)
That's a nice top hat.
Lemme ask you a question, man.
How long it take you to do that makeup?
You do it yourself?
How long did it to make this or what?
You're messing with
powers you can't control.
(upbeat music continues)
(flesh squelches)
(Immanuel screams)
(body thuds)
(flesh squelches)
(wood snaps)
Dude, you just made
our job so much easier.
Now let's grab Kendall
and put and end to
whatever the fuck she is now.
(upbeat music)
(kick thuds)
(kick thuds)
(body thuds)
(punch thuds)
- Bitch!
(body thuds)
Oh, fuck.
Get up, dude.
(heads thud)
Give it to me, boy.
Me know you have it.
Me know what you have done.
Do she know you control her?
Kendall! Lucien!
Take him inside, Father,
while I deal with this trash.
Lucien, please.
(Immanuel laughs)
We are connected, you know,
through sorcery, witchcraft, voodoo.
I have no connection to you.
You feel it and you have questions.
And little lover boy
has his secret. (Laughs)
Something I'm sure you want know.
No.
You feel it.
You know it's true.
Our fates intertwined.
Listen to me.
He stole the potion from me.
Me, I say.
He's the reason for your anguish.
It's not me, dear girl. (Laughs)
I like your necklace.
Oh, thanks. I've had it forever.
(Immanuel laughs)
It's not true.
Listen to me.
He stole the elixir.
Lucien made you his slave,
his puppet.
I'm gonna send you to hell.
You say you send me to hell. (Laughs)
We're already there. (Laughs)
(kick thuds)
(speaks in foreign language)
Close the door. This
spell will keep them out.
Hey Father, I think
it's time for confession.
Well, why? What have you heard?
Not you, father, me.
That man, I met him a few months ago.
I stole something from him.
He has a shop a few blocks from here.
What did you steal from him?
I snuck out the theater
and she seemed really cool
so I don't know.
I wanted to get her attention,
but she wouldn't give me the time of day.
Well, what did you do?
I stole a potion.
A love potion.
The guy wouldn't sell it to me.
He said magic doesn't
belong to the non-believers
so I took it.
I poured some in her cola
during Rock and Horror.
I mean it seemed so goofy and
harmless, but I don't know.
I guess it worked.
Next thing I know,
she finds me irresistible.
I mean like really totally enamored.
Oh you stupid, stupid boy.
Magic cannot be stolen and must be given.
Immanuel knew that you would take it.
He cast a spell, a wicked spell.
A spell for good fortune, yes.
A spell for for the cure
to some irreparable thing, yes.
But love? You cannot make
someone fall in love with you.
He tricked you into
resurrection and vengeance
so that he could pull an army in the chaos.
Lucien.
Your irresponsible and selfish use
of magic has caused a ripple effect
cursing everyone it comes in contact with.
An irrevocable chain of widening
and maddening damnation.
You have doomed us all and so many more.
And I brought you here
tonight of all nights.
No, it was me.
I doomed us all. (Sobs)
She's going to kill us.
She's going to kill us all
and nothing can stop her.
(fist banging)
[Kendall] Honey, I
just wanna talk to you.
(fist banging)
I miss you.
You said you stole a vial
of potion. Where is it?
[Kendall] Why is the door locked?
[Father] She's going to get in.
(fist banging)
- Where is it?
[Kendall] Lucien?
Let me in, honey.
You have to destroy it.
(fist banging)
[Kendall] Why are your
hearts beating so fast?
Kendall, please, please.
There's been too much death tonight.
Let me help you.
Kendall, do you remember
me? Father O'Reilly?
You like my beard.
I'm going to marry you and Lucien.
(neck snaps)
(ethereal music)
(body thuds)
(Mahlet and Lucien gasp)
Wedding's off, padre.
Oh baby, you don't look excited to see me.
What happens if I
just destroy the amulet?
The spell will be broken.
Your love and all involved
will be destined for eternity.
Your friend over there,
not looking so good.
You said forever, baby.
Forever is what's gonna be.
You have my heart.
(amulet cracks)
And with this, any
woman will fall helplessly
in love with you
but it's not for sale for non-believers.
Buy her some nice hot sauce instead.
Excuse me.
Wait, boy.
Why didn't you take it?
Nothing good comes from a spell.
You have seen it.
You have seen the future. (Laughs)
Holy shit.
Me have studied and searched
and you see the mysteries a mere child.
I'm outta here.
You can sell your snake
oil to somebody else.
Me have to know. What did you see?
You wanna know? I saw it all.
The future? Your future?
Me future?
You know how you die?
No.
You know how me die?
Yes.
You know how me die?
I do. I can tell you
who caused your death.
But you gotta make a promise.
Mahlet and her sister are hands off.
The two goody-goodies
from the shop of magic?
Not worth me time.
Yeah and the priest hangs out there,
hands off him as well.
Fine!
Kendall Kane and I, treat
us like you never met us.
You tell me who kills me, boy.
I'll leave you and the whole
pathetic lot of you alone.
Anything else?
Yeah, I'm gonna need $983.14.
All right man. This car
looks good on you, kid.
Thanks man.
Yeah, if you get half the tail that I did
in this bad boy, you're
gonna be a local legend.
It's not about the quantity,
it's about the quality.
Yeah man, whatever.
We should go out there sometime.
Oh, enough of that stupid pig.
Can we just explore some
random abandoned house
like normal teenagers?
[Bobby] Shut up, Mr. Beanstauffer.
Suck my dick, you old fuck.
Yeah, your wife looks like my ass.
You punks aren't welcome here no more.
Hey, you work here, right?
Not anymore. I just quit.
Oh, cool. Well good luck with that.
I'll see you around.
It's Kendall, right?
Yeah, Kendall Kane.
I'm pretty sure
we had like the same
English lit class last year.
I think you're right.
I like your car by the way.
Wanna go for a ride sometime?
I mean, yeah 'cause you
seem trustworthy and all.
You're not like a serial
killer or anything, right?
Funny. I had the same question for you.
[Bobby] What a boring ass night, guys.
No chicks, no smokey smoke.
[Buzz] Man, I've been
saying, let's fucking go
to the corner store and get
some fucking beer and steal it.
[Bobby] Why don't you shut up?
You didn't have any money, Buzz.
[Reverend] Wait, there's
these old trailer park hags
that could buy us some beer.
[Bobby] Beer ain't free, Rev.
[Reverend] Hey, you gotta
do what you gotta do, Bobby.
[Bobby] Yeah. Those pigs
gonna buy some gas too?
[Reverend] Hell yeah.
(chair creaks)
(ominous music)
[Buzz] Who the fuck is this guy, dude?
I've never seen his face before.
Yo, nice night for a walk, asshole?
Are you a knockoff Gene Simmons?
[Bobby] We got shit to do.
Get the fuck out the road, KISS sucks!
For you, there were no more thing to do.
(car engine sputtering)
What the fuck?
Get the fucking car on, Bobby.
It's not fucking starting.
Fucking pump the gas, man.
(car engine sputtering)
Get the fucking car on, Bobby.
I'm fucking trying, Buzz.
(car engine rumbling)
Fuck man.
Buzz, it's not fucking moving, bro.
Get going, man.
Come on, man. We never
did anything to you.
And you never will.
(ominous music)
(Immanuel laughs)
(bullies screaming)
Too late for wonder
What it's like in outer space
Oh, hear from everyone
Could I finally feel safe
Too late for wonder
What it's like to be alone
Sitting in a grave
In the darkest hole
I dream about it
I hear the sounds
I feel the dirt on my skin
When our bodies hit ground
I hear the silence ringing in my ears
Trying to fid the words
that I've lost for years
I've been wondering
What's the right way without fighting
I've been wondering
I can't stop the thoughts in my head
They keep awake when I'm in bed
Can't stop the thoughts in my head
I can't stop the thoughts in my head
They keep me awake when I'm in bed
Can't stop the thoughts in my head
Better get on home
Before the sun go down
Get on home
Somewhere safe and sound
But there's danger in this town
Whenever that hoodoo come around
Well, hear 'em singing
In that deep, dark voice
Guitar playing
Well, you ain't got no choice
But there's danger in town
Whenever that hoodoo come around
Better tell your mama
Do what you gotta do
Lock up them doors
Lock 'em windows too
But there's danger in town
Whenever that hoodoo come around
(pig grunts)
You ever just meet someone
and feel like you've known them forever?
Never really thought
about before but yeah,
I get what you're trying to say.
I don't know.
It kind of feels like
I've been here before.
I don't know. Maybe like
deja vu or something.
Yeah, deja vu.
I don't really buy into
that paranormal stuff.
All kinds of things
we just can't explain.
(dramatic music)
(pig squealing)
