[thunder]
[ominous music]
[door unlocks]
[women pants]
[door slams shut]
What were those things?
They're, like, diseased or
something. Did you see them?
Yeah, why do you think
I was running?
[shaky breathes]
I tried that already.
They didn't answer.
[Harper yelps]
-Sshhhh!
-Jesus!
[door rattling]
[creature rasps outside]
[Charlotte] Fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
[police sirens approaching]
-[tires screeching]
-[car crashing]
[creature moves away from door]
[monsters growl outside]
[Dolan]
You guys okay?
[Justin]
Get the hell back!
[car door opening and closing]
[Seth]
Justin! Behind you!
-[Justin screams]
-[gunshots... monsters roar]
[Seth] Justin! Oh,
Jesus fuck! Justin!
[gunshots]
[Seth]
Help! Help!
-[explosion]
-[gasps]
[monsters move away]
[Seth] Oh my god!
Oh my god! Justin!
[Dolan] We gotta
get indoors, man!
Before those things come back!
[door clicks open]
Over here! Get inside!
-[distant sirens]
-[men grunting]
[door slamming]
Thank you so much.
[Harper] Is she okay?
I don't know.
[Charlotte] What was that noise?
It was like a bomb went off.
They were all around us.
I thought we were...
She started saying something.
I don't know, I don't think
it was English.
And there was this blast...
and they all went away and she
just hit the ground.
[thunder]
Sgt. Quinn to dispatch, come in.
Sgt. Quinn to dispatch!
We have an officer down!
Please respond!
They're not answering
the phones, either.
Is she dead?
She's breathing.
Shit!
[Charlotte] You have
a gun, right?
Yeah.
With a whopping two
rounds left in it.
Does anybody have any clue
as to what's going on?
Monsters.
That's the sum total of it.
Maybe they're, like, mutants,
or, or sideshow freaks.
It's like a bioweapon.
Something genetically engineered.
[woman groans]
Let's evaluate where we
are and what we know.
When did all this start?
It was a clear night until
about an hour ago...
and then the storm clouds
started rolling in and...
[pounding on door]
[Liam]
Let me in!
-[thunder]
-[pounding on door]
I know you're in there,
I saw you go in! Open up!
[pounding on door]
Don't.
[Liam] Jesus, open
the fucking door!
[pounding on door]
[door clicks open]
[abomination roars]
[Harper screams]
[gunshots]
[growling]
[blasting]
[]
Close the fucking door!
Oh.
-[sirens]
-[screams]
[door slams shut]
How'd you do that?
Where am I?
In a costume shop.
Why?
I work here. I have the key.
We brought you inside. Those
things were coming after us...
[necklace chiming]
Shit.
-It's dead.
-[shattering]
What does that mean?
It means there aren't going to be
any more big flashes of
light for a while.
Who are you?
I'm asking the
questions right now.
Do you know what those things...
A-da-da-da-da-da!
Did you just blast the monster
out the door?
Then sit down and shut up while
Mama's figuring shit out.
How long was I unconscious?
Just a couple minutes.
[Aisling] Okay.
Now, real talk people.
Did anyone do anything really
stupid like...
read from an enchanted book or
bleed on a talisman
or make a deal with something
that didn't have a face
or anything else that they
clearly shouldn't have done?
I didn't.
[scoffs] Are you kidding us?
Yeah, okay.
Are you kidding us?
This can't be happening.
Get it all out of your system now
'cause I don't want to hear
any of that shit later.
We'll believe you.
Just, please, tell
us what's going on.
Alright.
My name is Aisling.
Let's get some things straight.
One, I am a witch...
which means I can fuck
your shit up with my mind.
Two...
I just went through a
really bad breakup
so I am not to be dicked
with right now.
Three...
I have the mother
of all hangovers.
See one and two.
Okay.
So, what are those
things outside?
They're demons.
Why are they here?
Probably to kill all of you.
I'm not sure yet.
The important thing is that you
do everything I say
without question and
you'll probably be fine.
Okay.
What should we do?
Does anyone have any beer?
[Charlotte screams]
[monster hisses]
[]
[monster grunts and growls]
[banging]
[heavy breaths]
Try that again you
demonic cockgobbler...
I'll twizzle your nutsack off
with my bare hands!
[monster sputters]
Ugh.
Here's your stick.
Why do you look familiar?
I was taking you in for
being drunk and disorderly.
That sounds plausible.
Um, I'm bleeding...
a lot.
Here.
[Liam grunts]
What happened to you?
One of those things bit me.
[Aisling] Alright.
Need to seal this place up.
Where's my bag?
It's in the back of my squad car.
You were under arrest.
That bag has all my
juju shit in it
which I could be using to
save your asses right now.
Can we go get it?
What, with those
things out there?
Alright, alright, alright.
Let me just...
Everyone give me your phones.

Vires, sapientia, et gratia.
Nart, agna agus grsta.
Forza, sabedora e graza.
Alright.
This is going to be
a little weak, but...
it should hold.

-Bannaik agus deeon an ite...
-[blast]
-Aagh!
-[thuds]
Shit motherfucker sandpaper tits!
[Aisling groans]
What happened?
I don't know.
That should have worked.
What were you even trying to do?
Put a protective seal up
around the building.
[Aisling groans]
This had a full charge on it.
It sure did.
I needed something
to power the spell.
My crystal's shot, so...
I tried to use the
juice from the phones.
Oh, that's great.
So, we're stuck in here...
with no way of calling anybody.
[thunder]
I could use blood instead.
That's like magic crack.
-Care to donate a quart?
-[sighs]
Let's just find something
to block this door.
Does this thing move?
[scraping]
Oh, yeah.
Feeling that hangover.
[]
Alright.
The good news
is that these
things die in the daylight
so you only have to
make it 'til sunrise.
The bad news is that
if something's keeping me...
from throwing up a seal
on this place
it's probably because one of
those things is already in here.
How much more of this
place is there?
[]
Um...
[light switch]
[curtain rustling]
[Liam] Whoa.
[Dolan] So...
something is hiding
somewhere in here.
[Aisling] Mm-hm.
[]
What's over there?
[Aisling] You gotta
be shitting me.
Who needs this many costumes?
It's a costume shop.
Alright.
How many of us are there? Six?
That's three groups of two.
Buddy up.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa.
We're not gonna actually...
We sure are.
The faster we find this demon
the faster I can get a barrier
up around this place.
I call the witch.
What do we do if we find one?
Hit it really hard
until it's dead.
Lead on.
Anyone want to come with me?
Me. I will.
Okay.
Lucky me. I get the cop.
Hm.
[Aisling] Lighting in here sucks.
How do people find what
they're looking for?
Well, during the day
we get most of our light from
the skylights. So...
Skylights?
Yeah.
Baphomet's dick.
Do you think that's how
it got in here?
[]
What's on the other side?
Um, that's where we do
repairs and alternations.
So, um...
how do you get to be a witch?
You know.
The usual way.
Play a lot of D&D.
Eat a lot of goat testicles.
That was a joke, right?
[footsteps creaking]
Oh, yeah. Nice and creepy.
[Dolan] Bet they didn't
cover this in basic training.
Sorry.
I was just trying
to lighten the mood.
[Seth yells]
[Dolan] Whoa!
[Seth screams hysterically]
Whoa! Hey, hey, hey, man!
Hey, hey!
It's nothing! It's nothing!
[heavy breathing]
[Aisling] What's going on?
Nothing! False alarm!
Buddy, you okay?
I just need a minute.
When those things came after
us, my partner, Justin...
Justin.
I know, man.
I saw.
I'm sorry.
It's too bad our new witch
friend couldn't save him, too.
What's your take on her?
Do you think we can trust her?
[chuckles]
I hope so.
If not, we're in deep shit.
Come on.
Let's go monster hunting.
[door creaking]
After you.
[light switch]
Looks fine to me.
[door creaking]
[door squeaks]
[switch]
[recorded thunder
and witch cackling]
[Liam] You know, under
the circumstances
this is actually
kind of hilarious.
[]
You from this town?
Yeah.
Since I was twelve.
You?
Oh, was just...
passing through.
Wow.
Of all the nights.
Yeah.
Lucky me.
[]
Where are you from?
Portland.
You're far from home.
That's kind of the idea. Yeah.
Shall we?
[lid creaking]
[monster growls]
[whispers] Whoa, hey!
[monster growls, heavy breathing]
[]
[recording of monster growls]
[plug clicks]
Well done.
How's your arm?
It aches.
I probably need stitches.
But I guess if we find, like,
a staple gun or something
I could just do it myself.
-Aren't you rugged.
-[both chuckle]
You should see the thing that
tried to take a chunk out of me.
It's like a...
it had this...
thing coming out of its face.
I don't know, it was
like an arm with a...
[bookcase sliding]
[]
Fun for the whole family.
[Aisling] That thing's
terrifying.
Oh, yeah.
He doesn't go out much.
What?
[curtain rustles]
[thunder]
[Aisling] What's back there?
[Charlotte] Bathroom, laundry.
You guys find anything?
[Aisling] If we did,
you'd have heard it.
What's this?
Oh, it's the, um,
employee lounge.
[footsteps]
[Harper] Anything?
I'm not saying one way
or another...
but are we sure there's
something in here with us?
[fridge door]
[Aisling] Aha!
There's motherfucking beer!
[bottle opens]
[loud glugging]
[more loud glugging]
[more loud glugging]
I think that we should establish
a point of authority.
[gasps]
What, besides the chick
who can do magic
and knows what the
hell is going on?
You're drunk.
I'm not drunk.
When I arrested you, you told me
to fuck off back to Scotland
and then you threw up
on my boots.
That was, like, an hour ago.
Out of everyone here...
I am trained to protect...
Da-da-da-da-da.
You do not want to compare
dick sizes with me, pal
'cause if I unzip, what
flops out will make you cry.
That imagery will
haunt me forever.
It's my responsibility...
Aaaand I'm done with you.
You're...
Op-op-op!
Hand's on the zipper.
Flop.
Good boy.
Just stand there and look angry.
[Aisling] Is there any place
else we didn't look?
[Charlotte] I don't think so.
[Dolan] Maybe nothing got in.
Maybe...
I don't know...
there just wasn't enough
juice in the phones.
Maybe.
Like I said, you just have to
wait 'til the sun comes up.
You keep saying you
like you're not staying with us.
I don't know if you noticed
the minor Armageddon happening
in your town.
As soon as I'm sure-ish that
you guys are safe,
I'm going back out there.
You're going to go out there and
fight those things by yourself?
You wanna come with me?
What are you gonna do?
I've got six bottles
to figure that out.
Fuck that shit. Give me one.
[bottle opening]
Well...
looks like we've got some
time to get to know each other.
I'm Dolan.
Sergeant... Seth Quinn.
Liam.
Harper.
Charlotte.
Ashley, right?
Ais ling
Get it right or you're
not getting res...
[]
[footsteps shuffling]
[sighs] Oh, Babba Yaga's dusty
twat!
Who's doing this?
[bottle clacking]
Huh?
Who is it?
Get off of me!
Swear to Christ, you don't
wanna fuck around with me!
[Harper] Th... they're
getting closer.

[rapid footsteps]

Hold it!

[Aisling breathes heavily]
[Charlotte screams]
[Seth grunts]
-[grunting]
-[thudding]
[Seth grunts in pain]
Sorry, guys. This is gonna hurt.
[blasting]
[Seth whimpers]
What the fuck just happened?
I knocked whoever was
controlling those things...
on their ass.
I can't lift my arms.
Yep.
That'll happen.
I'm running on empty here.
Needed some extra gas.
[Aisling grunts]
Somebody help me up!
[Dolan grunts]
Whoever the fuck's behind this...
you pissed off the wrong witch.
I'm gonna rip you out of
whoever you're hiding in
and use you for a tampon.
Here.
[bottles clanking]
[bottle opening]
What were those, ghosts?
[gasps]
If only.
This is why I couldn't put
up the protective seal.
It's not one of the things
outside that's gotten in.
It's one of you.
Someone snuck in here with a
goddamn archdemon inside them.
Whatever's in here is smart...
it's powerful...
and there's a good chance
it's whatever's behind
this whole demonic cluster fuck.
You hear me, asshole?
Don't get comfortable.
I'm gonna find you
and I'm gonna smear you
right out of existence.
No offense, but you can
barely stand right now.
No offense, but shut
your stupid face hole.
I just need some time...
to recharge...
and figure this out.
Can't you, like...
sense which one of us it is?
What do you think
all this was about?
I don't just have a face fetish.
Son of a bitch has a shield
or a glamour keeping
me from finding it.
[Harper] Then what do we do?
We're gonna stick together
and stare at each other...
until I figure out
which one of you
isn't who they're
pretending to be.
Then I'm going to exorcise it
and fucking erase it.
Well, considering the situation,
should you really be drinking?
-[glass shatters]
-[gasps]
We're cool.
Everybody find something
they can use as a weapon.
Before the end of
the world, folks.
[Aisling sighs]
[thunder]
Boom. You're armed.
You, you've got your stick.
What else have we got?
Oh, look at this.
Here you go.
Don't poke your eye out.
-Liam...
-[glass shattering]
Beautiful.
Now you all have a weapon.
Stay here and keep an
eye on each other.
If anyone starts acting
weird, beat them to death.
Where are you going?
To powder my ass!
[]
This is heavy...
so I'm going to set it down.
[Dolan] So...
one of us is possessed.
That sucks.
Don't suppose anyone here
knows anyone else
and can tell us if
they're acting weird.
I don't think I've ever...
[intense banging
on the back door]
[Liam] How secure is that door?
I think it's good?
[intense banging
on the back door]
Liam.
[snarls, growls, and
other creature sounds]
[gurgling sounds]
What are you gonna...
[intense banging
on the back door]
[growls and hisses of creatures]
Just making sure.
[lock squeaks]
[creature whirs faintly]
Okay.
I think we're good.
Good.
Now come away from the door.
[creature growls faintly]
[Liam sighs]
So, nobody here
knows anybody else?
Is anybody local?
I am.
Whereabouts?
I live near the
elementary school.
That's where I work.
Very nice.
You live in town?
Oh, yeah.
I run the, uh,
Ford-Mathiasen Retreat
on the west side of town.
We do team building activities,
scavenger hunts, rock climbing.
Um...
I got engaged last month.
And I'm happy to that say
she's visiting her folks
out of state in Newark
so she's not around
for all this insanity.
Congratulations.
What about you, Seth?
Yeah.
I live here.
Charlotte?
Yeah?
[intense banging
on the back door]
[Dolan sighs]
God, they really don't
like it when you talk.
I'm sorry.
Liam?
What?
You live around here?
No.
Huh.
That makes you our
one out-of-towner.
Yeah, what of it?
It's just an observation.
[Liam] Yeah? It sounded
more like an accusation.
Honest to goodness, man,
I didn't mean anything by it.
He's been bitten.
I mean...
who knows how this demon thing
gets inside of you?
So, what, you think
I was throttling myself
with Bessie over there?
I'm just saying...
Yeah, fuck you're-just-saying!
Well, not to go pointing
fingers, Seth...
but you were the one who didn't
want to let him in the building.
Yeah.
This is a life-or-death
situation.
I was trying to keep
all of you safe!
Yeah, keep your own ass safe.
Stop now!
This is exactly not helping.
If all we're going to do
is make baseless accusations
then let's all just stop talking.
[noise from bathroom]
[]
[door creaking]
[toilet gurgles]
[slithering noise]
[Aisling gasps]
[creature chitters outside]
[chants] Et ab...
[gasping]
[chants] Et abit!
[explosion]
[creature shrieks
and scurries off]
[Aisling breathes heavily]
[running footsteps approching]
What was that?
We need to find something
to cover that window.
[breathes heavily]
Where's Charlotte?
[Charlotte] I'm back here.
I was scared.
Remember this whole plan I had
about you all staying together?
Go easy on her.
We're all nervous.
God dammit, people!
I'm literally killing myself
trying to keep you all alive!
In case you forgot,
any one of you could be
the cause of all this!
So, the next person who
breaks from the party
or disobeys me or questions me
or fucking blinks too many
times, I will
make your eyeballs turn 180
degrees around in your head
so you can watch your
own brain explode!
Um...
[yells] What?
De... this possessed person.
You were going to do
an exorcism on them?
Yeah! And?
Couldn't you just
do one on all of us?
Yes.
[cracking]
[]
[marker scratching]
[tape tearing]
[]
Nice tats.
Thanks.
Is this going to hurt?
Only if you're the one
we're looking for.
Once I start this,
nobody say a word.
If I get this thing out, I have
one chance to get rid of it.
Otherwise it just
flies back home...
or picks another host.
You're not going to
accidentally erase my soul
or anything, right?
What does that mean?
No more questions.
[chants] Dah-me a vee-res,
sabedora...

What the fuck?
[]
Whores of Gehenna.
[wind]
[fire roaring]
[growls]
No.
[screams]
Son of a bitch.
[Harper screams]
Look, it's okay.
It's me, it's me.
[Harper] Jesus Christ.
What happened? Where'd you go?
I don't know.
All of sudden everyone was gone.
They're not gone.
They're still here.
This is another glamour.
What's that mean?
It means it's fucking
with your mind.
Or you're fucking with my mind.
Either way, we're all still here.
We're just invisible
to each other.
Unless we touch, apparently.
Obviously,
whoever it is didn't want
me narrowing down suspects.
Don't stand there looking stupid.
Try to find the others.
[]
[magical whoosh]
[Charlotte screams]
Oh, thank God!
I thought she sent
me to ghost world.
Where are the others?
I have no idea.
Hello?
Oh, shit!
Oh, god!
There you are!
Oh, god.
I think the spell Aisling was
trying went horribly wrong.
Between you and me...
I don't think she knows
exactly what she's doing.
[Seth] Yeah, I got
the same impression.
Now what?
You look cold.
-Me too.
-[hands rubbing]
There's no heater in
here I'm assuming.
Freeze in the winter,
boil in the summer.
[clothes rustling]
Think this suits you.
[sighs]
Seth?
No, thanks.
I'll keep my dignity.
Alright.
[Dolan] Suit yourself.
[sighs] Ho ho ho.
[squeak]
Oh.
Oh, god!
[Charlotte screams]
It's okay. It's us.
What's wrong?
[Harper screams]
No, no, no!
[screams] Why!
[Seth] Jesus.
[]
Remember what I said about blood?
Magic crack?
The archdemon needs to recharge
its human body just like I do.
Looks like it found
a fueling station.
[gags]
[cellphone ringing
from other room]
[cellphone ringing]
[Demonic Voice]
Give me the witch.
I'm gonna find you,
you sack of shit
and I'm going to make
you beg for oblivion.
[Demonic Voice]
Give me the witch
and you can go free.
You want me, Archie?
Show yourself first.
Jump inside one of
your chodes out there
and we'll throw down
Ragnarok style.
You hear me?
[error tone]
[Woman's Voice]
We're sorry.
The number you have reached
has been disconnected
or is no longer in service.
If you feel you have reached
this recording in error
please check the number
and try your call again.
[phone clatters]
[heavy breaths]
[]
[squishing noise]
[pacing footsteps]
So what, we're just
sitting around now?
I'm strategizing.
With beer.
Are we going to do that
exorcism thing again?
After I've had a
bit to recuperate.
I'm running on fumes and my
nemesis just filled up its tank.
So it's, like, super strong now?
Physically, it isn't any
stronger than the body it's in.
I'm kinda hoping it's you.
Hey!
And all that puppet-mastering
takes its toll.
Hence the phone call, the
glamour, the mind-fuckery.
This is not an accusation, but...
how do we know it's not...
you know...
you?
'Cause I got a magic
coat and tattoos.
Untouched by demons.
Could you stop pacing?
You're giving me agita.
No...
Aisling, actually,
I can't stop pacing.
Liam is lying dead in
the other room...
someone in here is
possessed by the devil
and there's literally nothing
proactive I can do
about any of it.
So, until you're charged up
and ready to go...
I will continue pacing.
If I could go any faster I...
[bottle clanks]
How's the wiring in this place?
Um...
lousy?
Keep your fingers crossed, then.
[]
[electrical humming]
Easy.
-[blasting]
-[gasps]
[Aisling] Abramelin's asshole!
[flashlight clicking]
[Harper] Are there any
other lights in here?
[Charlotte] I don't think so.
Can you make light?
If I had my bag I could.
Do you have the keys
to your squad car?
[Aisling] Seth?
Do you have the keys?
I think one of us should...
No one's coming with me.
You all stay together.
Watch each other.
What if you get in trouble?
You won't be able to help.
There's a shotgun in
the trunk with your bag.
Grab it.
[lock clicking]
Close this behind me.
Please don't lock it.
-[exhales]
-[door clicks open]
-[thunder]
-[door clicks shut]
[wind]
[]
[distant sirens]
Look, uh...
since it's just us
for a moment, uh...
I think we should
take the opportunity...
to talk about some hard truths.
Maybe she's got something in
that bag that'll help us out.
But if not...
and I don't like saying this...
we should at least consider
the possibility...
Of what?
Of making a break for it.
What did you think
I was going to say?
You think we should
take our chances
outside with those monsters?
I'm not saying we should.
I'm saying we should consider it.
At the retreat, we, we
call it Rolodexing ideas.
You treat everything like it's a
goddamn team-building exercise.
Maybe one of us wouldn't
be dead right now
if we acted like a goddamn team.
[sighs] I'm sorry. Uh...
Not cool. Not helpful.
I just... um...
What's on your mind, Seth?
Uh...
Nothing.

thanks.
Don't mention it.
Where's the gun?

It's not important.
Alright. [sighs]

Aisling, are you okay?

I am so, so sorry.
Don't touch me.
You're bleeding.
That feels right.
Is there a first aid kit?
-Um, I think so.
-[running footsteps]
What can I do for you?
Bring me a beer.
God, I feel awful.
That makes two of us.
Let's get her
something to lay on.
[Dolan grunts]
Oh, this isn't very good.
Hey, we're going to get some
of the fabric from upstairs.
[Aisling] We should
give her to it.
[Harper] Aisling, just rest.
[pad thuds]
Just can't stand having
someone else in charge?
I hope there's a demon
inside of you, Seth
'cause otherwise you're an utter
shit stain of a human being.
I just want to get
us out of here al...
[magic blast]
[Seth groans]
I also want to get
out of here alive.
And instead of constantly
looking over my shoulder...
or getting beaten
half to death...
maybe I should just do away
with the whole lot of you.
My head.
You think this demon wants
me just for shits and giggles?
It probably needs me
for something
pretty fucking nefarious.
Aisling, stop.
Sake of humanity might depend
on me getting out of here alive.
So maybe we should
all take a solemn look
at the greater good here.
-Stop it now!
-[Seth groans]
One in four chance
it's you anyways, Seth.
Can you give me a
good reason not to?
Please...
Please.
If I'd said please...
Would you still have
handed me over to it?
That's enough, Aisling!
Stop it now!
[Seth gasps]
Were you in on this plan, too?
You know I wasn't.
[grunts]
You know what?
Fuck all of you!
You can fend for yourselves.
[Charlotte] No, no, no, no.
[Dolan] You're angry
and you have every right to
be, but you are acting rashly.
Fine.

yourselves for five minutes!
I'm not playing this game.
[thunder and creature noises]
You're trying to guilt me into...
what? screwing up?
Breaking down?
Well, it's not gonna work.
It's not gonna work because
it wasn't my fucking fault!

[Aisling grunts in pain]

Shut up!

[Harper] Aisling?
You don't jive much with
the stay together rule.
The others are together.
I'm with you.
Maybe you've come to take
advantage of my frailty.
And not in the fun way.
Maybe.
Maybe I just want to
make sure you're okay.
You know me.
Firm like the Virgin's tits.
How's Seth?
He hasn't said anything.
I think he'll be alright.
You know...
if it is you...
we could end it here and now.
Or do you just enjoy playing
your stupid mind games on me?
[distant explosion]
[distant sirens, gunshots,
and explosions]
How big is it?
Is it the whole town?
Sounds like it.
[Harper] How many more people
are trapped somewhere
with no way out?
Probably a fair number.
[distant gunshot and sirens]
Are there others like you
out there who can help?
I don't know.
Well, is there anything
that we can do?
I don't know, Harper!
I don't know how to stop it.
This whole thing
caught me off guard.
It's huge and it's terrifying
and I'm just one person and
I don't know what to do.
[footsteps]
Seth is gone.
[thunder]
He was here just a minute ago.
Shiva's dickwarts,
you were supposed to
be watching each other.
We were.
Then where did he go?
I don't know!
My eyes got tired.
I'm exhausted.
You said we should
all stay together
and then you run off...
Whoa, watch your
tone, little lady.
No!
I'm tired of this!
I've been helping
this entire time!
I don't know magic and I
don't know how to fight
but I've been trying to help
and then you just shout
at everyone and then
people turn invisible
and get killed!
Well, I don't want to die
in this shitty town
I've lived in my whole life
in this shitty store I've worked
in the past three years
because fuck this town,
and fuck this store!
They make me close on
Halloween by myself!
Fuckers still coming in
here ten-goddamn-thirty
asking if we have
any Batman costumes!
Of course we don't, they were
all rented out like a month ago.
And I don't get paid extra
for the time I spend
on the weekends minding
high school students
who don't know their goddamn
shoe size trying on costumes!
Fuck you, Once Upon
a Mattress piece of shit!
I hope your Winifred
gets pregnant!

Alright, baby-girl. Let it out.

Seth?

Seth?
[Seth] I don't wanna

Okay.
Who would you like to be?
[Seth screams]
[]
I wanna be the monster.
The monster's the one
that isn't afraid.
Look, I'm sorry about
hurting you earlier.
Seth, buddy...
you're not a monster.
I want to be.
[exhales]
Justin.
Liam.
Major Levine.
Ramirez. Winters.
They all saw the monster.
But I won't see it...
because I'll be it.
Seth.
I don't want you
to be the monster.
Why not?
Because you're my friend.
And if you were the monster
that would make me very sad.
You're not my friend.
Sure, I am.
We're all looking out
for each other, remember?
I don't wanna be here, anymore.
[Dolan] Hey, man...
few more hours at the most
and we'll be out of here.
Can you just put down your hand?
[gasps]
If I'm not the monster,
then who is?
Just put down the nail.
I'm the monster!
No...
I'm the monster!
[magic spell]
Stop him!
I'm the monster!
Faster!
I'm the monster!
I am the monster!
-[magical swooshing]
-[nail clattering]
I'm the monster! [echoes]
[Dolan] Come on, buddy.
Come on back to us.
Here you made fun of me
for putting on this jacket.
But now who's dressed
like the Easter Bunny?
[Seth whimpering]
Furry suit and a coat
and he's still shivering.
Seth?
Seth?
I think he just needs time.
I wish Jenny were here.
She used to work at
a call center for...
you know.
You didn't do too
badly back there.
Thanks.
When are you getting married?
We don't know yet.
Uh...
the engagement was...
sort of unplanned.
Let's just say that we...
started a family prematurely.
Um...
I was going to ask her anyway.
Just...
[leather rustling]
You alright?
I'll be fine.
Just need to heal up.
How do you do that?
Use the air around me.
Life force. Mana. Chi.
Whatever you wanna call it.
It takes a while.
Can I help?
[leather rustling]
I feel a tingling.
Means you're having
a heart attack.
Just kidding.
Can I ask?
[]
I'd stopped at a diner.
Spent my last five bucks
on a chicken sandwich.
Asked if there was
any work for me.
I'd been on the
road for months...
no place to stay.
The owner...
Shelly Meyer...
invited me to stay with her.
She lived in a mobile home camp
with her daughter
and her boyfriend.
Everyone in the camp was so
friendly it'd make you vomit.
I didn't let anyone
know what I could do.
Except the girl.
I'd do little things for her.
She asked if I could
make her a princess.
I told her she
already was a princess.
Then...
one night...
I heard people screaming
out in the street.
These short things were
coming up out of the ground.
Their bodies were like...
burning coals.
Parts of them would
crack open and...
you'd see orange light inside.
I was terrified.
It was a long time before
I remembered that...
hey...
I could do magic.
By then the fire
was already going.
[fire crackling sounds]
It moved like a wave.
[echoes of screams, fire burning]
Dirt and rocks went
up like gasoline.
[screams and fire burning
continue]
Trailers roasted.
[baby crying]
Some people tried to
put out the fire
while I dealt with the things
coming out of the ground.
I saw a man standing on a hill.
His eyes were like
burning embers.
He just watched as I fought
the little burning fuckers.
Eventually...
I couldn't fight anymore.
So I ran.
Ran off down the
road 'til I collapsed.
Woke up the next morning.
Flagged down a driver and
rode back to the campsite.
[]
There was nothing left.
There were piles of ash in
the shapes of those things.
Most of the people...
I went looking to see
how it all got started.
Someone had recognized the
man with the burning eyes...
said he was a local
named Jeff Cartwright.
When I found him...
he looked like he'd aged
a hundred years overnight.
He tried to talk, but his jaw
muscles had turned to mush.
Found some books in his house.
Apparently...
he thought he could make
a deal to become immortal.
Whoever he'd bargained
with had...
used up his body and
left him to rot.
It's an obvious con...
but people always fall for it.
And folks end up dying.
So...
that was the first time...
Stop looking at me
like you wanna fuck me.
You have a lot of strength
in you to keep going.
I work out.
Plus I maintain a steady
diet of booze and rage.
You know...
people who are angry are
more prone to make mistakes.
They have no focus,
they make bad decisions.
What are you, a shrink?
Fifth grade teacher.
But I was a psych major.
Almost as useless as theatre.
[Harper chuckles]
You're decent people, Harper.
I'm gonna be disappointed
if I have to kill you.
What about me?
Meh.
[glass breaking]
[]
What's up there?
Christmas lights and
Halloween decorations.
Did anyone look up there?
I don't think so.
I forgot about it.
I never go up there.
Well, we're going now.
[Seth groans]
I can stay with him.
No separating.
Everyone goes.
Come on, buddy.
Let's go.

You back with us, Seth?

[Aisling] You sure are.
Here's the deal.
[bottle opens]
[gulping]
I'm gonna use this
little doohickey
to reach out to an oracle.
It'll look like
I'm going to sleep.
If I can find one...
hopefully I can convince it
to give me some sagely advice.
Of course...
oracles can be assholes.
They're all cryptic
and they usually want things
in exchange for their knowledge.
Hopefully I can get away
with just a hand job.
[thunder]
Is it dangerous?
[Aisling] Oh, yeah.
There's all kinds of things
swimming around
where I'll be going...
not all of them friendly.
Now...
if it looks like
I'm in trouble...
like I'm having a nightmare...
wake me up.
Don't pussyfoot around it...
sock me in the face
if you have to.
[gulping]
[bottle clattering]
Don't forget...
one of you is a homicidal
demon from the depths of Hell.
So, you know...
be careful or whatever.

What did you offer him?
The real Dolan.

Wealth.
Power.
It's an obvious con.
But people always fall for it.
So...
are you my stalker now, or...

luck in the universe?
You know, it's funny.
There I am...

Catch this scent.

But unlike last time, it's not...
raw power.
It's refined...
matured...

And I think to myself,
It must be fate.
See, these...
bodies aren't meant
for long rides.
I mean...
you saw what happened to, um...
what was his name?
Jeff.
Cartwright.
Right.
Good ol' Jeff.
But...
if I had something to keep
the Dolan-mobile here running...

Yeah, well...
I've got a fancy coat and a

[Dolan] You're too weak!
[Aisling groans]
[thuds]
[Charlotte screams]
[warped, echoing] Last chance.
You can be my slave...
or you can die now.
[Harper's Voice]
Run away.
Or die.
There's no other way out.
[Proprietress's Voice]
If it gets too tough out there
you can always just die.

Please.

That sucked.
Tell me about it.

I can find a car and
get you to a hospital.
Don't like hospitals.
I can heal myself.
Eventually.
-[box slamming]
-[coins rattling]
[paper rustling]
[sirens, helicopter]
So, what are you
planning on doing now?
Getting drunk.
And after that?
Possibly getting laid.
Oh.
'Cause I was
wondering if maybe...
Let me stop you right there
'cause I can see
where this is going.
I think I've
already proven that...
I don't play well with others.
Let's just...
remember each other fondly...
and go our separate ways.
Okay.
But considering I
just saved your life
and you're sort of
indebted to me forever now...
Whoa, whoa, horse shit.
Demons would be wearing
your vagina for a hat
if it wasn't for me.
I want to learn magic from you.
[Aisling sighs]
What if that thing comes back
all Freddy Krueger and revengy
and you just left me
here unprotected?
Think of the guilt
you would feel.
Tell you what.
You can lose this argument...
over a round of
beer that you pay for.

[Charlotte] I don't think any bars
are gonna be left open in town.
Then we find another town.

[leather rustling]
I'm keeping this.
Your love is tragic
Make you Feel My Magic
[Make you Feel My Magic]
Burn you to the sea
For eternity
Devouring your lies
[thunder]
Open up your eyes
Your love is tragic
Make you Feel My Magic
Burn you to the sea
For eternity
Devouring your lies
Open up your eyes
