What the fuck?
Are you fucking kidding me?
What the hell?
You're supposed to tell me.
Whoa whoa whoa.
What? I thought you knew
when I pulled your hair.
Fuck you.
You know I hate it
when you do that.
What is the big deal?
You're on the pill, ain't you?
That's not the fucking point.
Hey, give me some of that.
No.
The hell is your problem?
You got a bug up your
ass or something?
I have to pee, asshole.
Well,
go find a tree and take a piss.
I don't like the woods.
They scare me.
What would you be afraid
of, a raccoon or something?
Little raccoon with a chainsaw.
Gonna come get you.
You know why I'm scared.
Why? Oh.
Oh, come on now.
You really.
You're gonna be scared of some
little campfire story, huh?
Some dumb ass urban legend.
I come out here all the time.
I ain't never seen a damn thing.
Fine. I'll go outside.
But if you scare me the next
time I suck your dick, I'm
gonna bite it clean off.
Ouch!
Oh, but you are gonna suck
it again, though, right?
You're fucking lucky.
Hurry up. We ain't
got all night.
Fuck you.
Watch for raccoons.
[Laughter]
[Tense music]
[Tense music continues]
Chris Ovrid.
Is that you?
[Horn honking]
Hey!
Come on!
Katie, what the hell?
Katie.
What's taking so long?
Told you we ain't got
all night.
Damn it, girl.
You fucking with me or what?
Katie.
How big of a piss you
gotta take?
I bet she's got to take
more than a piss,
that's more of the problem.
Hey, break off a
chunk, would you?
[Indistinct mumbling]
Getting kind of comfortable
there, ain't you?
Giving me the silent treatment?
[Stuttering]
[Knocking]
[Knocking]
[Shouting]
[Upbeat tense music]
Oh my keys!
Damn it, there's no signal.
[Heavy breathing]
[Banging on door]
[Shouting]
[Tense music continues]
[Pig squeal]
[Eerie music]
Check this out.
All right.
Every small town has
their folk legends.
Most are nothing more than made
up stories to scare children.
But sometimes those legends
have their roots in true
events, and in the case of the
Hog Man of Butcher's Bluff, the
truth is scarier than fiction.
You ever been out to
Butcher's Bluff?
No, that's where the
Hog Man is.
Supposed to be half hog,
half man.
Like a real pigskin that he did.
And he's got it on his face.
It's not an animal.
It's something else.
You can't pay me to
go out there again.
He was big, and he was scary.
I'd say about 300 pounds,
maybe like six foot at least.
Some say he's a monster,
others an angry spirit.
But most locals from the small
Texas town of Emerald Hills
believe that he is the grown
up version of an escaped mental
patient that viciously murdered
his childhood
bullies in the 1990s.
Really terrible what
happened to that boy?
God have mercy on us.
Ever since all them folks
started going missing up there.
Well, it just ain't the same.
Imagine what their
families have gone through.
These families need closure.
I don't know if he's
real or not, but I'm not going
out into the woods to find out.
No, thanks man.
We're not woods people.
You fuck around over
here in these woods.
Never coming home, man.
Kiss your mama goodbye.
I don't really want to
talk about it.
We don't talk about it.
People believe in the
hog man so much
they think if they even
talk about him,
he's going to come down here
and literally kill them.
It's crazy.
It's just a legend.
And it's just a horrible
thing that goes around here.
I don't want to talk about it.
Man, I don't care if the
stories are true.
I never did anything
to the hog man.
Hog man won't do
anything to me.
So you believe in the hog man?
I believe in him.
I believe in him.
My cousin saw him when he
was fishing last summer.
I don't know if the hog man is
real, but I know I don't want
to find out.
Butcher's Bluff belongs to him.
Did you hear that?
Hey, man, is this legit?
Oh, yeah dude.
Yeah my cousin Bobby and I went
up there a couple of weeks ago,
and we shot all this
in one day.
All right.
Okay, 28 people have gone
missing up there
in the past 20 years.
No bodies have ever been found.
These people believe there's
some sort of madman out in
those woods.
This is the perfect
class project.
If there's a madman out there,
then that sounds scary as hell.
And that's why this is
the perfect project.
I mean, dude, Hooper
loves shit like this.
This is an easy A.
I just found out about this
couple that went
missing up there.
Okay. I got in contact
with the girl's mom.
She's willing to
talk to us on camera.
Dude, I got photos.
I got these newspaper
clippings, and I got all the
shit that I've
already shown y'all.
Dude,
I've got all the legwork done.
I just need y'all's
help filming it.
Y'all need to help
me finish this.
Okay. You can't tell me you
don't want this easy A.
What do you think?
If it's legit,
then I guess you
can count me in.
Yes, Nicole, that's
what I'm talking about.
Plus, it's perfect because my
grandma had this awesome river
house that my dad
just inherited.
We can invite a couple friends,
make a little party out of it.
A party?
Yeah.
As long as you promise
me that we're going to actually
take this project seriously.
[Rock music]
[Rock music continues]
These notes are
all over the place.
Yeah, that stuff looks like
it's in a different language.
You're gonna have to get
them to translate that.
Hey, guys, I've been hearing
this story since I was six
years old.
We're good.
You just make sure that the
image is in focus, and you make
sure that the sound is clear.
Just leave the rest to me.
All right.
We're good.
[Rock music continues]
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
Good.
[Birds chirping]
Oh my God.
- This is it.
- This is amazing.
Hey, don't stick your bag in
the middle before you lazy.
Look at this.
What did I tell you?
Look at this view.
Isn't this a shit?
Oh my God!
Hey, Bobby, give me
a hand real quick.
- Um, give me one one minute.
- Dude.
Hey, this is, um.
This is the room that
I stayed in as a kid.
Look, Bobby, there's not
enough room for all of us.
Are you really going to make
Tina and I sleep on the couch?
No, no, you can stay here.
It's fine.
Thanks. We can share the bed.
You go ahead and take the couch.
You know, I wouldn't mind
sleeping between you two.
That's cute.
Super cute.
Okay, bye.
[Hip hop music]
Still needs a little
bit of work.
No.
Dude,
I told you already.
That shit's fucking wack.
You need some fucking
guitars in there.
Yeah. Bite me bro.
I have fans in Japan.
I don't need guitars.
Okay, well, this is America.
We're busy, bro. So.
You really have
fans in Japan?
- Yeah.
- Nice.
You're so cultured.
- Oh.
- All right.
You know, I love sushi. So.
[Crickets]
[Tense music]
[Sticks breaking]
- Hey, man.
- Oh! What?
Fuck! What Roger?
Why you out here pouting, man?
Dude, those girls hate me, man.
They hate me, Roger.
I'm not gonna
get laid this weekend.
Yeah, you're definitely not
gonna get laid acting like this.
Acting like what?
Like a little bitch, dude.
I'm doing exactly
what you said to do.
Dude. You're not.
You're not being cool.
That's the problem, dude.
Look who did we used to look
up to when we were kids?
- Chumbawamba.
- Exactly, dude.
And what did they used to say?
[Both] Get knocked down
and get up again.
Exactly, dude.
Exactly. Just come back to the
house and show them that you're
cool, all right?
Believe me.
All right. Come on.
Ow, fuck.
Dick!
[Indistinct chatter]
Hey, try it again.
Damn it, Nick,
it's not starting.
Well, I can't get
it to start up.
To make matters even worse, I
don't even have
any bars out here.
Look, nobody takes
this road anymore.
I hate to break it to you, but
we're going to have to walk.
Will you please just
try it one more time?
I really don't want to walk.
Please.
All right, all right.
Thank you.
I don't know what
the fuck I'm doing.
Son of a bitch.
I guess we're just gonna walk.
[Indistinct]
[Screaming]
[Eerie music]
[Eerie music from
speakers]
[Music continues]
[Music continues]
[Music continues]
Will you tell us the latest
updates on Katie's case?
It's been a nightmare.
The police didn't
give us any answers.
They stopped the
search last week.
Now they have her listed as
just another missing person.
They don't know anything.
That's what they
always do around here.
They don't know anything.
So they just list
people as missing.
How am I supposed to have
closure when I don't know if my
child is alive or dead?
Listen,
I know this is a tough
question, but Emerald Hills is
experienced a lot of missing
person cases in the
last couple decades.
Now that you find
yourself a victim to it,
do you have any theories as to
what's been happening to all
these people?
I'd rather not say on camera.
Off the record.
Don't have to tell him anything
if you don't want to, mom.
I just don't want
to sound crazy.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
We understand.
There's no judgment here.
We just want to know
your side of the story.
There's a legend around here
that there's something out
there in those woods.
Kind of like a
Bigfoot, but it's.
I'm sorry. This is ridiculous.
I shouldn't have said anything.
The hog man?
Yes.
How do you know about him?
I believe,
you're not alone.
And let's just say the folks I
know that say they've seen him.
Well, they tend to
exaggerate a bit.
Okay, so what you're telling me
is that you don't know anyone
that's, like, credible, that
actually says that
they've seen him.
Well.
There is creepy Jed Dixon.
He's about the only
person I can think of.
He owns the salvage
shop outside of town.
He's got all kinds of weird
stuff out of his place.
Anyways, I don't know if he's
claimed to have seen the Hog
Man, but I know he
believes in him.
He's got the mask that Grimley
boy wore when he killed those
boys out.
Wait, wait.
So you're telling me that this
guy claims to have
the actual mask?
That's what he claims.
Yeah, like I said, he's
a real strange guy.
He's got this little brother
that works out there with him.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Can you tell us how
to get out there?
I think we're
getting pulled over.
- What?
- What?
Were you speeding?
No, I don't think so.
Dude, what am I gonna
do with all this weed?
Put it away.
Fucking hide it!
Dude, why the fuck are
you so fucking dirty?
Oh, man.
Did you just drink that shit?
No.
Put that out. Put that out.
Shut that.
Fuck, man.
Freaking out.
Just calm down.
[Knocking on door]
Afternoon, Officer.
Sheriff.
Sorry.
Afternoon, Sheriff.
Are you the driver
of this vehicle?
No, sir, I am.
It's my father's RV.
Would you two step out
of the vehicle, please?
[Inhales]
It smells good in here.
Very,
fresh.
What's your name, son?
Roger.
No, I lied. It's Bobby.
Bobby.
All the air freshener in the
state of Texas couldn't cover
up the smell of
marijuana on you, son.
Miss, would you join your
two friends outside, please?
Sir, do you need my
driver's license.
No, I didn't stop
you for your driving.
Oh, I noticed you there
back in town filming, folks.
I'm just curious as to why.
Oh, we're film students.
We were making a documentary
for a class project, so we've
just been interviewing locals.
Documentary in Emerald
Hills, huh?
What's that going to be about?
Butcher's Bluff.
Butcher's Bluff?
Now, what is it you think
you know about them
woods has got you wanting to
make a documentary about it?
Well, what about the
Grimley murders,
and the legend of the Hog Man?
Where are you kids from?
Austin.
You're a long way
from Austin.
Look, I'll save you the trouble.
There is no hog, man.
It's just a made up story.
Yeah, I've caught more hoaxers
than I can shake a stick at
trying to scare
people around here.
And do yourselves a favor.
And don't go running around
up there on that bluff.
You get lost in them woods, you
most likely ain't coming out.
And that becomes my problem.
You don't have to
worry about that.
We won't.
Thank you.
You bet.
You kids take care.
Dude.
Go ask him.
Sheriff, wait.
[Indistinct chatter]
Have a good one, man.
Thank you so much.
You too. Bye bye.
Good news?
Great news, man.
He says we want an interview.
We got it.
So we just got to hit
up his office tomorrow.
Awesome.
Well, that's one good thing.
At least it wasn't a
complete waste of time.
[Tense music]
[Music continues]
Hey, there.
Oh.
Hey.
Hey, uh, you folks aren't
from around here, are you?
No. How'd you guess?
Right on.
Mighty fine machine
y'all got here.
It's like a it's like,
like a house, but on,
but on wheels.
Thanks, man.
You wouldn't happen to
be Jed by any chance?
[Stuttering]
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Jed's inside.
He hates touching
the merchandise.
He's like Carl you get out
there and you make that junk
look good, and you make
them customers happy.
And so help me God, boy, you
do it with a goddamn smile.
[Stuttering]
I'm smiling right?
Yeah. That's, that's a,
that's a great smile.
Good job.
Bye.
[Eerie music]
And the search continues today
for 45 year old land surveyor
Anson Day. Day was reported
missing on Saturday after
failing to return home from
work on Wednesday evening.
G.P.S. located his work truck
on the east side
of Craven County.
But as of this report, no
further details
have been released.
Authorities are asking for
any information regarding his
whereabouts be reported to the
Emerald Hills Police Department.
[Music continues]
Hey, Sam, check it out.
Lube for boomers.
Oh my God.
I think they actually use this.
- Oh, Jesus probably.
- Gross.
Um, so I have to pee.
- Okay.
- So come with me.
Uh, no. I'm good.
Dude. Come on.
The one on the RV is broken.
No. Do you know how disgusting
those bathrooms probably are?
My God, I hate you.
I know.
[Music continues]
Restrooms.
Do you have restrooms?
Out back to the left.
It's open.
Thank you.
[Music continues]
Help you find something?
Me and my cousin and
his friends.
We heard you had
the Hog man mask.
Where did you hear that?
Some chick in town at
a hat store, I think.
Said you might have it here.
No.
No, sir, I don't have
the Hog Man mask.
Okay?
But I got the
Grimley boy mask.
You want to see it?
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Medieval shame mask.
Shame masks?
European.
16th to 18th century.
A very effective punishment.
Some people were forced
to wear them for years.
You really have a
thing for masks, man.
There's something
about a mask, son.
The mask frees you.
Man is least himself when he
speaks with his own voice.
But you give a man a mask,
oh he'll show you his soul.
Can you tell me about
the Grimley mask?
Hey.
Your idiot cousin is talking to
the clerk. Gonna mess it up.
Fuck!
What are you doing, Bobby?
No, Roger, he has the mask.
- Look. Right here.
- Oh, shit.
Yeah, he does fucking have it.
I'm told you're making a
movie about the Hog Man.
Yes sir. We are actually.
Um, this display
case is amazing.
You mind if we get it on film?
And if you wouldn't mind giving
a bit of the history behind it?
You ever heard the expression,
be careful what you wish for?
Yeah.
We won't take up
much of your time.
Oh, no.
You gotta be fucking
kidding me.
Oh.
So this is the actual mask that
he wore when the
murders took place?
Yeah.
It's just a plastic mask from
the dollar store for Halloween.
It don't mean nothing
to the unsuspecting.
I mean, why would you want
to own something like that?
Don't you think it's
kind of like morbid?
- Morbid?
- Yeah, I mean, kind of.
Look at it.
It's just like, you know, like.
I was just saying it's not
normal for someone to own
something that belonged to a
serial killer is all.
Normal?
Well, what do you know
about killing, city boy?
Have you had another
man's blood on your hands?
Have you stared into a man's
eyes while you stabbed him, and
knew the exact moment when
those eyes ceased to stare back
at you?
Have you felt the body collapse
beneath you as the last breath
comes out?
And you know henceforth and
forever, that when you look at
your hands you will say,
these have killed.
I'm just fucking with you.
Have you city boys
need to learn to relax?
Of course it's morbid.
Look around you.
I like morbid.
Look.
You see a painting.
Original portrait
by Henry Lee Lucas.
See those two by
John Wayne Gacy.
Clown suit he wore,
that weren't a mask.
Mask was a civilized man
he appeared to be to the world.
That Grimley boy.
He was a good kid.
And he didn't have a
violent bone in his body.
But when he put that
mask on, it changed him.
I keep it there with my shame
mask, because I think he wore
it because he was ashamed of
what he'd become or what those
kids made him.
And I keep it there to remind
people who ain't got no
business in them woods
to stay the hell out.
Hey! What the fuck?
So you're saying you're a
believer in the legend that he
actually might be up there?
If we take our cameras up
there, we could actually get
some footage.
Like I told you,
be careful what you wish for.
Get the hell out of here!
Oh my God. What's wrong?
Some pervert was
watching me pee.
What?
I think I'm gonna throw up.
Ew.
Hey, whay the fuck is
going on here, man?
So gross.
Chet.
Chet. Chet!
Chet!
You tell me the truth, boy.
Were you creeping
on this young lady?
- Yes.
- Chet.
Why are you such a stupid
little son of a bitch?
You get your ass back there
in the restroom,
you get your
toothbrush, and you
scrub the toilets again.
Go! Go!
Get your ass out there.
Okay, yeah. I think
we're done here.
Hey, man, thanks so
much for the footage.
I really appreciate that.
Hey, wait.
Hold on. Okay.
Just wait.
Hey, look, I'm really
sorry about my brother.
I mean, he, he ain't
that smart.
And,
we don't get too
many through here
as pretty as the ones
you got with you.
Oh, those girls, man.
Don't worry about it.
They're drama queens.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Shrooms?
Nice, man.
Hey, those are homegrown.
That's my family's
secret technique.
They're very powerful.
Be sure you only take one each.
All right man. Rad.
Cool. Thanks, man.
Have a good one.
All right.
You stupid little shits.
What the fuck is this?
That's somebody telling
us to stay the fuck out.
I don't know, AJ.
This ain't worth getting
shot by a grower or worse.
What do you mean, worse?
You good goddamn know
what I mean?
Aren't them hogsheads?
Maybe Curtis is right.
Maybe we shouldn't do this.
Fuck, no.
We made 15 grand last
time. We got a buyer
We got a buyer this time going
to pay twice as much.
Fuck that shit, AJ.
I ain't playing
out here at night.
That's a sign.
And I'm listening.
You two crazy crackers can
go out there
and pick as much weed
as you want.
I ain't gonna be
out there with you.
I'm out.
Fine. Go home, pussy.
This means more money for us.
So, are you coming
or are you going?
Twice as much?
Twice as much.
Plus we get to split
Curtis's share.
Let's go.
All rightfuck it. I'm coming.
Oh, I can't even get my
ass over this.
[Indistinct shouting]
Got no time for that bullshit.
Got me out here with crazy ass
killers and shit.
What the fuck?
Where the hell am I?
[Tense music]
I'll be a black God damn.
- Want some.
- Yeah.
Hey, Roger.
You should tell them more
about the the hog man.
We didn't get enough
from that clerk today.
Well, they haven't heard the
story, and I wouldn't mind
hearing it again, so.
I don't really want to
hear it ever.
Yeah, I'm good, I
get nightmares.
Come on, guys.
Just tell them, Roger.
All right, all right,
all right.
I'll tell you what I know.
Okay?
Even though you don't want to
hear it, I'm gonna tell you.
So legend has it that back in
the 90s, there was this fat kid
named Alex.
He was gentle.
Like a beaten dog.
He was constantly picked on
about his weight
his entire life.
Hey! Oink, oink, fat boy!
[Laughter]
One day, this cheerleader took
him out to this old barn.
Were no one could see what the
kids were going to do to him.
So, fat boy, welcome
to the pig pen.
Welcome home, fat ass.
Got something for you.
Merry fucking Christmas.
Ready for your present?
Yeah, we got a little something
for you.
Remind you of anyone?
Looks familiar.
It's like looking a fucking
mirror, isn't it?
Where the fuck do you
think you're going?
Dude, what the fuck?
- Wait what the fuck?
- What the hell?
Shit.
Dude you fucking killed him.
Let's get the hell out of here.
We need to leave.
They left him there for dead.
He woke up in the
hospital days later.
He told the doctors that he
couldn't remember what happened
to him,
but he lied.
When he got out of the
hospital, he went to a thrift
store and bought that
pig mask that we saw
today at Jed Dixon's store.
That night he went to
those bullies' houses,
and one by one, he killed them.
First was Jimmy Kramer as he
worked on his bike
in his garage.
[Grunting]
[Gasping]
Next, he took a hammer to Adam
Wagner's face as he slept in
his bed.
[Smashing]
And then finally
Spencer Jenkins.
He stabbed him over 30 times.
[Stabbing]
For reasons unknown,
he didn't kill the girl.
She said he just stood there
staring at her until he finally
walked away.
He sat on her front porch,
still wearing that mask, and
waited for the police
to come and arrest him.
They locked him up in a
mental institution for years.
He refused to speak.
He spent his days sitting
alone, drawing pictures,
reliving the murders
over and over.
As time passed, he got more
violent and was regularly
placed in isolation, where he
descended deeper and deeper
into madness.
One night, an orderly was doing
his rounds and noticed that
Alex wasn't in his room.
The door was locked, but he was
just gone, never
to be seen again.
The legend is,
that he came back out
here to Butcher's Bluff.
And he's still
roaming these woods.
They call him the Hog Man.
And on full moon nights.
Just like tonight.
You can sometimes
hear his screams.
[Squeals]
- Asshole.
- That wasn't funny.
I almost pissed myself.
It was kind of funny.
Jesus Christ.
Is that true, or are you
guys just fucking with us?
Well, there's not much about
the man on the internet, but
the murders are definitely real.
It's not big outside
of Emerald Hills.
Like the whole story.
But, yeah.
No, I mean, that's why I think
it's going to be the perfect
project choice.
Hey, Jake, can you
pass me another?
Yeah, I gotcha.
I'm telling you, she
gets drunk enough.
Those legs are gonna
spread like warm butter.
You think so?
I know so.
All right, kiddos, some of us
have to work in the morning,
so we're gonna go ahead and
turn in, and you guys need to
behave, okay?
You should turn into Roger.
Yeah no, I'm good.
I'm gonna chill out here.
No, we don't need you
hungover tomorrow.
We need you fresh.
I can do this shit in my sleep.
- Fine.
- Y'all go ahead.
- I'm good. See?
- Good.
Yeah.
- All right.
- Let's go.
If you insist.
I better be good tomorrow.
I'll be great tomorrow.
That's better than good.
I guess.
So. I think Derek
had the right idea.
Yeah?
You, uh, want
to join me inside?
As long as we're not
going there to sleep.
Oh, that's definitely
not what I'm thinking.
Uh, where
are you guys going?
Uh, inside.
Are you serious right now?
You're really gonna leave
me with Dumb and Dumber?
You'll be fine.
Have some fun.
So you don't want to hang out.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Want another drink?
No, I have had enough.
Yeah, it's probably a good idea.
You okay?
Yeah. Just
thinking about Roger's story.
What about it?
Can you imagine if it's true?
If that poor kid had to live
out in the woods like
some wild animal.
That's just horrible.
Kids can be so freaking cruel.
Oh, you know, we we just need
to shoot this thing
and get our easy A.
Okay.
I mean, we shouldn't
think too much about it.
It seems to work for Roger.
Yeah, he is super
happy go lucky.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go to bed now.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Poor kid.
It's not fucking happening.
I'm not going.
Come on, Samantha,
it'll be fun.
It fucking won't be fun.
You guys are clearly high.
Drop it.
Are you.
Are you scared?
Oh. She's scared.
Yeah.
I'm not fucking scared.
I'm just not stupid.
There's snakes and
shit out there.
Snakes and shit.
You know what she is?
She's scared and she's chicken.
Yeah. You're a chicken.
Rotisserie chicken.
Want to go? You want to
go find a Hog Man?
Let's go. Come on.
- Yes.
- Yeah okay.
You guys are so fucking stupid.
Watch that.
Jesus Christ!
This is awesome.
This is not awesome.
Roger, why are we using
these cameras again?
I mean, why aren't we using
the ones from the interviews?
Well, Bobby, because these
have night vision on them.
Stop fucking complaining.
I just want the footage.
[Mumbling]
So stupid.
Oh. That bad?
[Tense music]
Hold up.
Did y'all hear that?
It's probably just an owl or
something, Roger. It's fine.
Just wait, wait.
Just give me a second.
[Knocking]
Okay. I fucking heard that.
All right, guys,
that was a knock.
That was a fucking knock, dude.
There's something out there.
Hey, Hoggy, come on out,
you fat piece of bacon.
Shut up, Bobby!
This little piggy
went to market.
But this little piggy
was a pussy ass bitch!
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm antagonizing him, man.
In all those paranormal
ghost shows, right?
They antagonize the ghost to
get him to come
out or something.
We're not ghost
hunting you dick.
I mean, if this guy's real, you
think this is the kind of guy
You should be shit talking.
He's not gonna do anything.
Dude, shut the fuck up!
It's fine.
- Shut the fuck up!
- Both of you shut the fuck up!
I'm ready to go.
This is really starting
to creep me out.
No no no, no, we might
have something here.
Just give me a second.
Guys, I think I hear
something in the bushes.
I'm gonna go check this out.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- Yes.
- No, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[Tense music]
Roger.
You see anything?
Roger.
I don't see anything.
Y'all heard that
knocking, right?
Yeah. It's not fucking
happening anymore.
So can we please go now?
I'm fucking done here.
I'm telling you, we are lost.
Come here.
Here.
What's this shit?
All right, I'm
gonna go this way.
You go that way.
We'll meet back
here in 20 minutes.
I really don't think
we should split up.
That crops around
here somewhere.
We gotta find it.
So stop acting like
a goddamn pussy.
If you find anything,
call me on the walkie.
AJ.
Just do it, goddamn it.
All right.
Fucking growers.
Some bitches.
Hey, Gary.
Got your ears on?
You out there, motherfucker?
Little pussy.
Always getting
lost in the woods.
[Tense music]
[Screaming]
[Coughing]
[Screaming]
[Grunts]
Fuck.
[Tense music]
[Muffled grunting]
[Muffled grunting]
[Muffled grunting]
[Muffled shouting]
[Heavy breathing]
[Muffled shouting]
[Heavy breathing]
[Muffled shouting]
[Grunting]
[Stabbing]
Sure you don't want
to come with us?
We're most likely going
to be gone all day.
So you guys aren't
gonna have a vehicle?
Nah. We're good.
Besides, someone's got to make
sure the pleasure twins don't
run out of stuff.
Yes, Jake, please don't let
anything happen to the house,
all right?
If anything gets broken,
my dad's gonna kill me. So.
I got you, bro.
Don't worry. Go make
your movie magic.
You sure?
Yeah. We're good to you, bro.
All right, dude,
I appreciate it.
All right.
Y'all have fun now.
I know we will.
Hey! Make way!
All right, you guys behave now.
We always behave.
Hey, Clutch twins.
Two of them, two of us.
What do you think?
Yeah sure, buddy.
Oh, man.
[Birds chirping]
Yeah. Can I help you?
We're looking for Frank Butler.
Does he live here?
Yeah. That's my dad.
Is he home?
What y'all want with him?
Just a few moments of his time.
We'll be super fast.
Y'all cops?
Cause if you're cops y'all
got to tell me.
No sir. We're not cops.
All right then.
Guess we're kinda scared.
Sir. Roger.
[Indistinct]
Frank Butler?
Yeah.
We're film students from
Austin, and we're
shooting a documentary.
About what?
About the Grimley boy and what
happened on your property.
Not interested.
Wait, you're the guy
that saved that boy.
So we just want your
side of the story.
You want my side of the story?
I should have just let
that boy die out there.
Lot more folks would still
be alive today if I had.
You can quote me on that.
That's all I got to say.
Well, can we at least shoot
the barn where it happened?
No, no, no, I tore
that down years ago.
That's all. Good day.
Good day.
Thank you. Let's go.
[Metal clinking]
[Dramatic music]
[Screaming]
No, no. I didn't tell
them anything.
[Screaming]
[Rock music]
[Guitar playing]
[Rock music continues]
- What?
- Nothing. Nothing.
So gross how that grungy
little stoner
was basically eye raping us as
we walked out here.
Oh, my God, I know
what a little creep.
You know, I bet he has to
watch a lot of porn.
Probably so fucking pathetic.
You know, I bet he's never
even been with a woman.
And if he was, he wouldn't
even know what to do with her.
Do you want to find out?
You know, I'm not fucking
that pervy little dork.
You won't have to.
I have a plan.
[Rock music]
Hi, Bobby.
Hi.
Um. Hi, Sam.
What are y'all doing?
Did you like watching
us earlier?
Yeah, I did.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
How much?
A lot.
I'm glad y'all noticed.
I noticed.
Oh.
You know, you're pretty
cute with a mustache.
- Yeah, I like that.
- Thank you.
Yeah Roger told me to
grow it out, so.
Hey, have you ever had
a threesome, Bobby?
Ow.
No, I haven't.
Today's your lucky day.
Why do you say that?
Oh my God.
What?
Oh, okay. Don't.
Don't tear it. Ow.
All right, gentle.
So how are
we gonna do this?
Well, we start by doing this.
Oh. Oh, yes.
Oh, okay.
Oh. All right.
Slow down a little bit.
Wait, wait.
Oh, there you go.
Easy. You gotta slow
down a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Wait, wait, wait, wait
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hang on.
[Shouts]
Already? That was
less than a minute.
You owe me a dollar.
That was pathetic.
[Indistinct]
Trying to, since you
were 12 goddamn years old.
Looking forward.
I'll tell them I have low blood
sugar and I'm a diabetic,
and I forgot my insulin.
[Indistinct]
Oh my God.
They probably planned that.
[Shouts]
Shit shit shit shit shit shit
shit shit shit shit shit shit.
Fuck! Oh, shit!
Shit shit shit.
Oh! Oh!
Oh, fuck.
They're dumb bitches.
Come on Bobby think.
Oh, think of something.
Wait, wait.
Pills.
Yeah, pills.
They won't know the difference.
I do loads of drugs.
Yeah, I take a pill.
My body acts weird.
Yeah, they're dumb whores.
They won't know.
That's gonna work.
That's gonna work.
This doesn't look good, Joe.
It never does.
The car's registered to a
Gentry Krieger, 24 year old
female out of Craven County.
We found her purse inside.
There's also a male
victim under the bridge.
Still unidentified.
Well, whatever it was, it
dragged him off here and then
off into the woods.
Bear maybe?
You ever seen a bear?
Wear a size 12 boot.
Hey, Sheriff.
Hey. Dispatch called, said they
got a bunch of kids
down the station.
Got an interview with you today.
Shit. Shit.
I can't meet with them today.
Tell them I'm sorry and we can
do it at the same time tomorrow.
Sir.
What a fucking mess.
[Rock music]
Zeke.
Zeke, I need another
one, pronto.
[Rock music continues]
You guys doing all right?
- You want another.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we'll do another
round, man.
I'm good. Thank you.
So let's assume the sheriff is
giving us the run around, and
he stands us up again tomorrow.
Do we have enough footage to
make the edit work if we don't
have him?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, he wasn't supposed to
be in in the first place, but,
man, having him in it would be
so legit, even if he said
it was a hoax, because, I
mean, he's a cop, right?
That's what he's
supposed to say.
True.
There you go.
You're welcome.
So I couldn't help
but overhear you.
You're the kids that are making
the move about the hog man,
aren't you?
Yeah. How'd you hear about us?
Shit. I hear every bit of
gossip, every drunken bullshit
story in this town.
Working back here,
you hear everything.
Even Karen from the hat store.
She went on and
on about you guys.
She came in here last night.
Now she thinks
she's a movie star.
Well, hell, man, I bet you
have a ton of hog man stories.
You want to be in our movie?
Me? No, no.
I've got stories.
But like I said, they're all
drunken tales from around here.
You never know
what's true or not.
But if you want something real
in your movie, see this crazy
looking sumbitch over here?
That's Willie.
Willie worked as an orderly at
the loony bin when the Grimley
kid was there.
No shit.
He believes in the hog name and
he ain't shy to talk
about it either.
Yeah, that's who
you have to talk to.
Thanks.
Dude.
Appreciate you man.
[Rock music]
Ten years.
I was with that Grimley boy
almost every day.
First couple of years,
it seemed almost normal.
He would not talk, but
sometimes at night I could hear
him whispering to himself in
his room.
There was sadness behind
his eyes, you could see that.
Feel sorry for him
because he was so gentle.
But sometimes for no
reason he would lash out.
He was dangerous.
When he was 14,
he beat an orderly half to
death with his bare hands.
That orderly was a full
grown man, well built.
Knew how to handle himself.
So.
That Grimley boy was,
a freak.
Crazy strong.
Well, pretty much kept
him sedated after that.
Do you think that it's possible
that Alex really has lived out
in the woods the last 20 years?
And actually is the hog man.
Oh, yeah.
He's up in them woods.
All right.
Growed up.
Just like when he
was in the hospital.
He wants to be left alone.
Damn you trespassing.
There ain't nothing out in
them woods except death.
[Crickets]
[Crickets]
Where am I?
Calm down, calm down.
What you gonna do?
You have to sleep
out here tonight.
Make a fire.
You know how to make a fire.
Fucking ow.
God. I hate the woods.
[Tense music]
[Music continues]
[Indistinct]
Oh, shit.
Oh, God!
[Screaming]
[Shouting]
No. Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I called you
a fat piece of bacon.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please. Please don't kill me.
[Shouting]
[Shouting]
We're gonna have to ADR
that last monologue.
The wind is just too bad.
Oh. That's easy.
Want a shroom?
No. Where did you
even get those?
That clerk over at the store.
That creepy guy.
He offered them to me
when I was leaving.
He said they're strong, but,
like, I guess we're
gonna find out.
Please don't find out.
Roger, we really need you fresh
for the footage that we have to
go through tonight.
But I already took one.
Okay, well, don't
take another one.
We need you on this.
Stop. I'm gonna.
Are you sure?
[Soft music]
Oh.
I'm sorry, Roger.
There you go.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
He is so wasted.
Hey, you guys, turn
that music down.
What the hell happened to him?
Roger's high on mushrooms.
Why the hell did he
get mushrooms from?
From that creepy
clerk at the store.
Mr. stoner here just
had to eat half the bag.
Was there another half?
Yeah you couldn't share, bro?
No.
I feel really, really good.
Where's Bobby?
[Laughter]
What did you two do?
We were just messing with him.
Yeah, it wasn't a big deal.
And.
We're just playing around, okay?
And, like, teasing
him a little bit.
But the dweeb got so excited,
he came in his pants and
then took off.
You girls are cruel.
Have you guys tried calling him?
You think I have that
retard's number?
And even if I did,
we're in Bumfuck, Egypt.
There's no phone reception.
And of course, no landline.
Okay, so how long
has he been gone?
About five hours or so.
All right, that's it.
Get your shoes on.
Get your shit on.
You guys gonna help us find him?
I'm not fucking going
in the woods again.
No, no. Me either.
If Bobby is hurt, you
two are responsible.
Fine.
Let's go.
No, Jake, you're staying here.
You're babysitting Roger and
making sure he doesn't choke on
his puke or anything like that.
Got it.
I got this.
Let's go.
Hey.
Dude shut up.
Okay.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Indistinct]
Okay.
We're going to take
this trail right here.
And you two go
down to the river.
We're gonna meet back here
once we find Bobby.
Are we seriously gonna keep
looking for the one pump chump?
No. We're gonna sit right here,
finish our beers, and when Mama
Bear comes back, we'll just
tell her we didn't find him.
Yes.
Sleep tight, asshole.
[Vomiting]
Oh.
[Running water]
Oh, man.
Oh, fuck.
Tina.
It's good stuff.
You know, it's pretty fucking
creepy out here at night, dude.
Been buying into
the ghost stories?
No. Well, maybe a little bit.
Okay. Hold on.
You know what? Fuck you Sam.
Because I heard you were
so scared out here last night
that you almost
pissed your pants.
Okay, well.
Yeah, but I was drunk.
I was hearing knocking, so,
yeah, I was pretty
fucking scared.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You know, honestly, I don't
even know if fucking came on
this trip.
Total waste of time.
Yeah.
Well, I'm out of beer, so
I'm gonna go get some more.
God knows how long
we'll be out here for.
Are you serious?
Yeah. Just stay here.
I'll be right back.
Hurry up.
But don't let the
hog man get you.
Bitch. Very funny.
[Shouts]
God damn it, Jake!
Fucking asshole!
That wasn't funny.
Yes it was.
You should have seen
the look on your face.
Hey, hey, hey.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to piss you off.
Let me make it up to you.
Remember that thing I do
with my tongue last night
that you love so much?
I got something else for you.
Come on.
Fine okay. But it has
to be quick.
All right.
[Tense music]
This a fucking bitch.
Where are you?
[Moaning]
- Oh fuck.
- Oh.
Where did you learn to do that?
Yoga class.
Oh.
I need a smoke.
- Okay.
- You good?
Yeah, I'm great.
Yeah.
So round two later.
Maybe.
[Laughter]
[Dramatic music]
[Running water]
[Screaming]
Bobby!
-The hell?
- Bobby!
- Hey.
- Now look.
- Where?
Right there.
My God.
Is that real?
Yeah, I think so.
[Eerie music]
We need to go now.
Bobby?
Is that you, man?
Fucking with me or what?
Bobby?
If this is a joke
I'm gonna beat your
fucking ass, dude.
Nice try.
This isn't funny?
[Screaming]
[Screaming]
No, no!
Are you fucking kidding.
You guys hear me
fucking knocking.
Are you guys fucking?
[Tense music]
Guys?
You better not be
fucking with me.
Roger?
Oh my.
What the fuck!
[Shouting]
[Shouting]
[Muffled screaming]
[Screaming]
Jake! Jake, let us in!
Jake!
I don't see him.
Let's go to the back door.
Oh, shit.
Oh my God!
[Crying]
We gotta keep going.
I can't,
I can't breathe.
[Crying]
Okay. Okay.
I'm gonna go that way and
make some noise.
You go that way.
No! Don't leave me!
Go! Just go!
Derek.
I know you're out here.
Come get me.
Come on motherfucker!
[Indistinct mumbling]
I'm here.
Come get me!
What are you waiting for?
It's over.
Come on.
Come on.
I know you
know I'm out here.
Come on motherfucker! Let's go!
Come get me!
Fuck you bitch! Come on.
[Dramatic music]
[Crickets]
[Grunting]
[Choking]
Derek!
[Dramatic music]
[Squeals]
[Screaming]
[Whimpering]
[Dramatic music continues]
[Crying]
[Crying]
[Crying]
[Heavy breathing]
Help me!
Please!
The hell is going on out here?
Please help me!
[Crying]
And he was chasing us.
And then we saw Jake hanging
from the door of the RV.
And I saw him kill
Derek in the woods.
Sit down.
I don't want to sit down.
I want to call the cops.
Sit down.
Please.
Damn it, girl.
I told you not be messing
around them woods.
I knew this would happened.
What the hell are
you talking about?
The boy,
don't want you in his woods.
Why the hell is it so hard for
people to just leave him be?
Look, you need to
call the cops now.
What don't you understand?
If you don't call the.
Cops, he's gonna kill us both.
No, ma'am.
Just you.
I'm sorry it had
to come to this.
[Choking]
[Choking]
[Grunts]
[Grunting and shouting]
Stay the hell away from me.
You ain't doing
nothing but making
it hard on yourself, girl.
Give me a god dang phone now!
Okay. All right.
Chet.
You heard the young lady.
Give her a phone.
It's all right now.
It's okay.
All right.
Calm down.
Take it.
No!
Not in the house.
Take her outside.
[Grunting]
Damn, kids!
No! Please!
Stop! Please!
No!
No!
No!
No! Don't!
Alex! Alex.
You don't have to do this.
You don't have to kill me.
Alex! Alex.
Alex. I'm not one
of those bullies.
You can just let me go.
Yes you can.
You were a good boy.
You were a good boy.
It wasn't your fault.
You can just let me go.
Just let me go.
[Ringing]
Hey, you all right?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Turn around, boy.
What's wrong with you, boy?
Are you high?
Hey. Hey.
What's wrong?
Hey, what is it?
What's wrong?
They're dead.
Look, what I brought you again.
Surprise, surprise.
Hey, how about you guys just
give me my damn phone call?
Mornin, Sheriff.
Uh huh.
So someone comes in your house,
murders all of your friends,
and just decides
to let you live?
I was on the floor.
I guess he just didn't see me.
You're passed out on the floor.
Of course you were.
We were warned.
Everyone told us he'd
come after us.
We didn't listen.
Who would come after you?
The Hag Man.
The what?
The Hog Man.
Alex Grimly.
Alex Grimly?
Do you not know
who the Hog Man is?
- No.
- Go ask the fucking sheriff!
He knows everything about it!
Are you fucking kidding me?
- Okay.
- Go talk to him.
All right. Okay.
Just calm down.
I'll go talk to the sheriff.
This is a bad one, boss.
I picked this kid
up this morning.
He says all his
friends were murdered.
I sent Shane out to the house
to check it out, and It's a
goddamn bloodbath
out there, Joe.
Did he see anything.
No. It says he was passed
out and admits he was high.
But get this.
He told Dunn that he thinks it
was the Hog Man that killed all
his friends.
Get him whatever he needs.
You want me to send Lewis
up there with the dogs?
Yeah, but you're not
gonna find nothing.
I'll be damned.
Sheriff.
Joe. We need to talk.
Not now Dunn, I
gotta be someplace.
Yes. Now, this can't wait.
Fine. Detective, what is
it you had to tell me?
That kid just told me his
friends were murdered by
something called the Hog Man.
Yeah, well, he also admitted to
being high out of his mind on
mushrooms, too.
So you really expect me
to take anything he says
serious?
Normally, I would agree with
you, but I just pulled Alex
Grimley's files.
His story might have some merit.
28 missing persons
reports out there.
Have you even looked at this?
Listen detective,
you're new here.
So I'm gonna give
you a little advice.
Don't go sticking your
nose where it don't belong.
There are some weird things
that happen in this town, but
they always seem to
work themselves out.
Trust me.
This is one rabbit hole
you do not want to go down.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I
really do have to be someplace.
Yeah right.
No way in hell I'm
walking away from this.
How about 50?
You're breaking my heart, Paul.
That's all I've got.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Sheriff.
Morning, Joe.
What the hell happened
out there, Jed?
Thought you had
him under control.
I tried to
tell them my kids to leave him
alone and they wouldn't listen.
This shit can't happen again.
You tell him I ain't
covering for his ass no more.
This was the last time.
If it happens again,
I'm coming after him.
You just hold on there.
The moonshine boys would have
killed you up there, and you
know it.
You're only alive
because he killed them.
You show some gratitude.
Gratitude, huh?
Yeah. You're right.
I owed him.
Owed.
And you know.
It's only because of him that
your ass ain't rotting in jail
for their marijuana
crops of yours.
Huh?
I have looked the other way.
I've covered his tracks.
Made false reports.
I've looked grieving parents in
their eyes and outright lied.
But no more.
All that ended today.
My debt is paid.
I said I'm sorry.
What the hell?
I didn't want none
of this to happen.
You can't blame him.
He's a boy.
He don't want to do it.
Uh huh.
You just make sure
you tell him what I said
Chet.
Go find your brother.
We need to talk.
[Dramatic music]
[Crying]
[Stuttering]
Please let me go.
[Crying]
Please.
[Dramatic music]
[Rock music]
