[eerie music playing]
[music concludes]
Really? Candy corn. Disgusting.
Right? They used to give us
full size candy bars.
- [screams]
- [girls scream]
Well, you can blame inflation.
You ungrateful little shits,
it's free candy.
[blows candle]
[whispers]
Spoiled little fuckers.
You get all dressed up,
you go buy candy,
just trying to make kids happy,
you dress up like a scarecrow.
[knocking on door]
Er. I'm all done for the night.
[knocking continues]
Can you not hear?
I'm out of candy. All right?
[thudding on door]
You're a little old
to be trick or treating.
Yeah. All right.
I... I got a little bit left.
All right, dude, it's all I got.
All right?
I get it.
You're creeping me to death.
Did you smash my pumpkin?
[scoffs] It's a holiday.
So I'm gonna give you
the count of five
to get the fuck out of here.
Or you and I,
we're gonna have a problem.
Five.

[whimsical music playing]
Wow, Tim,
you must be ready for Halloween.
I see you already
have your mask on.
Yeah. Funny, Miss Quigley.
That's a new one.
Oh, and please.
Give my best to your mother.
I will. Happy Halloween.
- Happy Halloween.
- [music concludes]
[cell phone ringing]
- Tramer!
- What's up!
You figure out your costume yet?
Yeah, I'm actually
working on it right now.
Hey, what time we meeting up?
Oh, after I finish handing out
candy, maybe six-ish?
All right, yeah, cool.
Hey, before I forget.
Hey, this looks like
the Red Baron, right?
'Cause I don't want
people thinking I'm, like,
Amelia Earhart or something.
- Yeah, you look fine.
- [Isaac sighs deeply]
Hey, is that Tim?
Yo, Tim.
Hey, you still gonna be
our DD tonight?
[sighs] I didn't know I was...
Awesome. Cool.
We'll see you later.
[Tramer]
You gonna wash your hands or?
[sighs]
Hey, we can get another ride.
Nah. It's fine.
I wasn't gonna
drink tonight anyways.
[scoffs] Why?
'Cause you're a lightweight?
No, 'cause I know
I'm either gonna get stuck
pulling you
or Isaac off the car later.
- [wood breaking]
- Shit.
I gotta go. I'll uh...
I'll text you
when I'm on the way.
All right. Later, bro.
I'm so winning this
costume contest, this year.
[Tim] Hey, Mr. Hawthorne.
Let me help you with that.
I don't need help.
It's no problem, really.
I got it. [pants]
[ominous music playing]
- I said I don't need help.
- [groans]
- Now, get!
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
Didn't mean to what?
Get involved in some place
you don't belong.
Hey! What's going on up there?
- [Tim pants] No I...
- Huh?
Oh.
Get!
Look, I'm sorry.
I really didn't mean
to cause a problem.
Boy, you mess
with someone's problems,
you best be ready
to face some consequences.
[engine starts]
[music concludes]
[theme music playing]
[music concludes]
[radio host] What is up,
Ashville?
It is All Hallows Eve.
Don't forget to light
those jack o' lanterns
to ward off the evil spirits
coming to your door
this evening.
[radio announcer groans]
In another week,
you're gonna tell me
to get ready to leave out
cookies and milk...
so I can get some presents
from a big fat guy
wearing a red suit. Ho, ho, ho!
Okay, Ashville listeners,
enough of this superstitious BS.
Coming up next
is a new spooky track
to get you
into the Halloween spirit.
[laughs maniacally]
["Pumpkin Smash" playing]
I was carving up
A pumpkin on Halloween night
To ward off the spirits
That cause a fright
The wind grew loud
And I heard a sound
I knocked my pumpkin
Right to the ground
The pumpkin smash
My pumpkin went splat
The pumpkin smash
Thought it was
Harder than that
The pumpkin smash
Luckily, I bought two
The pumpkin smash
What face should I do?
I grabbed my knife...
Hey, I know you're gonna grab
a rake and finish off
these leaves, right?
I know you're not gonna wear
those damn shorts anymore,
right?
What's wrong with these shorts?
Look around. They're scarier
than the lawn decorations.
[ominous music playing]
[music concludes]
Oh yeah, well, they don't
scare off your mom.
She likes a little extra skin.
- [chuckles]
- Oh, please, just stop.
[chuckles] Hey,
before you go inside though.
There's been
a change of plans tonight.
Like, what?
I'm supposed to go out tonight.
- I know. I understand...
- [police siren wailing]
[pensive music playing]
Hold that thought.
- [Fred] Howdy, Officer Wes.
- Hello, Fred.
- Tim.
- [music concludes]
How you both holding up?
We're fine.
Taking things day by day.
What brings you out here?
A couple houses in the area
seem to have been vandalized
early this morning.
Seems like
the owners are all out of town.
The strange thing is, though,
we got several calls
on missing pets.
I don't know if it's related,
but have you guys noticed
anything suspicious,
out of the ordinary?
- Nah.
- Mm-mm.
Been quiet around here,
hoping it stays that way.
You know how it gets around
Halloween time.
Yeah, don't I know.
I'm gonna be out patrolling
the streets regardless,
so if either of you see
anything suspicious,
- call me A.S.A.P. Please.
- We will, Officer.
- [Officer Wes] All right.
- Hey, be safe tonight.
- [Officer Wes] You as well.
- Watch out for this guy.
You can count on it.
Hey, hold up a sec.
Look, I'm working a double now.
I need you to stay here
all night long.
[sighs]
Work can't find anyone else?
[scoffs] I wish.
Look, I know
you want to spend Halloween
with your friends and all,
but I just don't want these
late night trick or treaters
pestering your mom
all night long.
Can't we just leave
the porch lights off?
Come on. You know
they're still going
to ring the doorbell.
Yeah. You're right.
- What time you gotta leave?
- Right now.
I gotta be there at eleven.
Here, take this.
It's a couple minutes fast,
but I set the alarm
for seven and twelve
and that's when you check
on your mom.
I'll set an alarm on my phone.
[Fred] No, no, no. Take this.
It's more reliable
than your phone.
You're always tic tacking
and facegramming.
I'll take the damn thing!
Okay, I'll wear the watch.
- [Fred] Thank you.
- Uh-huh.
Hey, look,
I know things have been tough,
but your mother and I
are really appreciative
of all the sacrifices
you've made
and I just want you
to know that.
[sighs]
It's nothing Dad, really.
Proud of you son.
Proud of the man
you're becoming.
Here, come here.
Really appreciate it.
- [watch alarm beeping]
- Oh. Fuck. Gotta go.
Here, take this.
Hey, have fun tonight,
all right?
Love you bud.
[sighs] Love you, too.
[car indicator beeping]
[somber music playing]
- [music concludes]
- [door shuts]
Hey, did you see
the yard decorations?
[Tim] Yeah. They look great.
What are you doing?
[Tim] Looking for something.
Like maybe this?
Yeah. Exactly that.
- Tim?
- Yeah?
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on
is I nearly get beaten
getting fucking pumpkins
for you this morning
so we can carve 'em later.
My friends want me
to babysit them tonight,
and now Dad's making me
stay home and take care of you.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
It's been a long morning.
I know it has.
Take a deep breath.
[both breathe]
[Linda] Try to slow down.
Life is...
so very short.
I want to make sure
you enjoy it.
What are you doing?
I'm having fun.
[chuckles softly]
I'm not twelve anymore.
I know.
But you will always be...
my little baby.
- [oven timer dings]
- [gasps]
Cookies! Please, hurry,
go get the cookies.
The Halloween shaped ones?
- Yes!
- [Tim] Yes.
I don't need to frost em, do I?
[Linda] No. They need to cool.
[chuckles]
[coughs]
- [munches]
- [cookie sizzling]
Oh, shit!
- Damn it.
- [objects falling]
You did make
more of these, right?
[suspenseful music playing]
Mom, Mom, Mom. [pants]
- [Linda pants]
- Mom you're gonna be okay.
[Tim] You got this,
I'm right here.
- Oh, God.
- [Linda groans]
I'm gonna put you on your side.
[pants]
[groans]
[groans, coughs]
[music concludes]
- [Tim] I'm right here.
- [retches]
- [pants]
- That's it, Mom.
Just breathe. Just breathe.
You're gonna be okay.
All right? I'm right here.
Do you recognize me? [pants]
Do you recognize my voice?
It's me, Tim, okay?
It's your son.
I'm gonna take care of you, okay?
- [pants] Okay.
- [somber music playing]
I'm gonna pick you up.
All right?
And bring you upstairs
right now.
All right. [pants]
I got you.
You've got it. [pants]
All right. [pants]
[pants]
- [coughs]
- Just sit back.
[pants]
[coughs]
You need to take these.
Here, drink this. [pants]
[Linda coughs]
All right, Mom, you just had
a minor seizure, okay?
You just need some rest
and you'll be okay. [pants]
Just get some rest.
I'll come check on you later, okay?
I'll be okay.
[coughing]
[somber music continues]
[music concludes]
[pensive music playing]
[Olive Oil over TV]
From these ingredients,
the witches brew
their magic potion.
[music concludes]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- [sighs]
What's going on?
[Tramer] Dude,
what happened to six?
Oh, shit, man.
I'm sorry. I meant to text ya.
- I can't make it tonight.
- [Tramer] What? Why not?
And hobgoblins.
[Tim] I had to stay with my mom,
my dad's working late.
[Tramer] Damn, dude, that sucks.
You're totally missing
your shot.
[sighs] Yeah?
What shot is that?
[Tramer]
Danielle, bro, she's here!
What?
Why didn't you tell me that?
- [Tramer] I tried to, but...
- [breaking news alert blares]
Good evening.
I'm Tiffany Warlock.
This just in.
We're receiving multiple reports
about strange events
transpiring this Hallows eve.
Live on scene is our field
reporter, Paulie Siglionie.
Thanks, Tiff.
As you can see,
the house behind me
seems to have been
trick or treated to death.
[Tramer] Yo!
- Hold on a sec.
- [Paulie] Since this morning,
multiple homes have been found
with their windows shattered
and their doors kicked in.
Dude, have you seen
the news tonight?
- [Tramer] No, what's going on?
- Weird thing is
all of these homes
have a strange symbol marking
the outside that experts believe
is connected to the occult.
I don't know.
Looks like a bunch of homes
are getting broken into.
[Tramer]
Eh, it's probably just kids.
Why would kids do something
this messed up?
[Tramer] It's Halloween.
Does this really surprise you?
[Paulie] Mysteriously enough,
we cannot question the owners.
As they all seem
to have abandoned
their homes
in the past few hours.
[Tramer] Hello.
We ask residents
to please contact
the local authorities
with any information.
[Tramer] Tim.
This is Paulie Siglionie
in Ashville.
- [Tramer] Tim.
- [Paulie] Happy Halloween.
[Tramer] You still there?
Yo! Hello.
- [doorbell ringing]
- [Tramer] Anyway, uh,
I think we're gonna
get out of here soon.
This party is kind of lame, so,
I mean,
if you wanna hang out later,
just give us a call.
Ashville Police
are advising everyone
to stay indoors and not answer
for any unexpected visitors.
[knocking]
Authorities are also asking...
- [Tramer] Tim.
- citizens to keep...
a lookout for any of these...
- missing persons.
- [Tramer] Hey. Tim.
They haven't been seen
by their families
since this morning.
[Tramer] Why are you
ignoring me, man?
[knocking continues]
[Tramer] Tim, hello?
[Tramer]
Dude, are you still there?
[knocking on door continues]
[Tramer] Earth to Tim. Hello.
[knocking intensifies]
[Tramer] Do you know how
to have a conversation, dude?
Come on.
Hello?
[children] Trick or treat!
[children chattering, giggling]
- [children] Thank you!
- Uh-huh...
[Tramer] What the hell was that?
- [watch alarm beeping]
- [Tim sighs]
Sorry, it was just some trick
or treaters.
[Tramer] Oh, trick or treaters
on Halloween. [chuckles]
- Weird.
- Hey, I gotta go.
Tell Danielle I said "hey".
[Tramer]
Yeah, I'll try to come up
with something better
than "hey".
[clicks tongue] Sounds good.
[Nate] You're a star.
You're a star, Nate.
Just nobody knows it yet.
Definitely gonna break
300 views with this one.
[exhales sharply]
- Shit. God damn wind.
- [chuckles]
[Tramer] You have to unravel
it first you idiot.
[Nate] Shut up.
Get me another one.
Fine. Make it count though.
This shit's not easy to come by.
Nice throw.
[Tramer mocking]
[Nate exhales sharply]
[Nate] Shit.
Go, go, go, go, go.
[crowd laughing]
[pants] Shit, please tell me
you got that?
Yeah but I don't think you're
gonna wanna post this one.
Let me see.
Dude! Of course,
I can't post this shit.
I'm about to break
700 followers.
These angles suck.
Yes, Nate.
It's definitely the angles.
[all chuckling]
You know, this is why
you never got into film school.
You know nothing
about cinematography.
- Oh, and you do? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Guys, what are we doing?
I thought we were going
to be partying all night.
Babe, relax.
The party goes where we go.
Well, babe, this party sucks.
[mocks] Well, babe, number one.
Who, what and why she's here?
- Wait. Didn't you follow us?
- Mm.
Ah. Yeah, only because I thought
there would be a DD?
Hey, what happened to Tim?
Didn't you tell him
Danielle was coming?
Tim was gonna come?
Yeah, he was supposed to,
but he had a family thing.
Ah. Gotcha.
Yeah but maybe we could call him
and he could give us a ride
because he still has to RSVP
to your going away party.
- You invited him?
- Wait, what party?
What party?
Of course, I invited him.
Well, whatever we're not going
anywhere until we do this...
One. Last. Thing.
[Linda] Tim?
Is that you?
Yeah, Mom, it's me.
- How you feeling?
- [sighs]
I've been worse.
[sighs] I know.
You never did say how many
drinks you had the other night.
[Linda coughing]
Not enough. [coughs]
Yeah, me neither.
- [sighs] What time is it?
- [Tim] It's just after seven.
Did we get
a lot of kids tonight?
Mm. Not as many as last year.
Is there candy left?
- No.
- Oh, thank God.
I don't want your father
having any.
He still thinks he looks good
in those damn shorts.
- [coughs]
- [chuckles] Yeah.
I've been trying
to talk to him about that.
[coughs]
I should get up
and clean up that mess.
No, Mom, Mom, just lay down.
I already took care of it.
[gasps]
- Just lay back down.
- Honey,
you didn't need to do that.
It's fine.
It's not right.
You shouldn't have to take care
of your mother,
at your age.
I'm sorry.
You have nothing to be
sorry for.
I'm not ready to die.
But I cannot...
live like this.
[somber music playing]
[Tim] It's gonna get better.
It's got to.
[coughs]
You should be out
with your friends.
You should be with a girl.
You should be chasing
your dreams.
Not supporting your parents.
[coughs]
We could've gotten help.
We can't afford the extra help.
[coughs] I could have...
I could've gotten a remote job.
I could've... [coughs]
Sold the house.
[Tim] Mom.
We are family...
and this is what we do.
You have always been
my beautiful boy.
- [whimpers]
- Love you.
[sighs] I love you too.
- [coughs]
- Get some more sleep.
I'll have Dad wake you
when he gets home.
Okay, honey.
Good night. [coughing]
Good night.
[coughs lightly]
[music concludes]
[eerie music playing]
[Nate] Come on, come on,
come on, quick, come here.
[Isaac] Oh, oh.
[Tramer] This guy's been
running us off the road
since we were in diapers.
- Yeah. He never did that to me.
- Yeah, me neither.
Yeah only 'cause he wanted
to lure the young T'n'A
in the back of his truck.
[all chuckle]
This guy's got a new
paint job coming.
Fuck it. We've got
some shit to spare.
- Roll this, all right?
- [sighs] Fine.
- [Nate] Okay ready?
- [Isaac] Yeah.
- One.
- One.
- [Nate] Two.
- [Isaac] Two.
- Three.
- Three.
[PJ] Oh, shit.
[eerie music continues]
[music concludes]
[Tramer] We need to
get out of here.
Not without that bag.
[Danielle] Nate,
are you serious?
- That is just garbage.
- [PJ] Yeah.
It's Halloween, he wouldn't
just leave it out there
if you don't
want someone to take it.
This is a stupid idea.
Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go.
- I agree.
Wait, wait!
Guys. It just hit me.
You haven't participated
in tonight's activities.
You go get the fucking bag.
I'm not going anywhere near
that house, dude.
Okay, well, Amelia Earhart
and I over here
already did our part.
- Your turn.
- Oh, my God.
- Go get the bag.
- [gasps]
[eerie music playing]
[Danielle] Tramer,
you do not have to do this.
[Nate] Just stop. It's fine.
He'll be fine.
[Isaac] It's just a quick
in n' out.
[PJ] Yeah, just like you, right?
[Danielle] And what happens
when he gets caught?
Believe it or not, I don't feel
like getting arrested tonight.
[Nate] Isn't your dad a cop?
- [Danielle] Yes, Nate.
- Hey, this was Nate's idea.
[PJ] Yeah but Nate's
your shitty friend.
It's on you, too.
Yeah, well,
I'm everyone's shitty friend.
- No we're leaving.
- Let's go.
- [music concludes]
- [grunts]
[all chuckle]
[Nate] Oh, shit.
[ominous music playing]
[grunts]
[Mr. Brownstone] What the hell
do you think you're doing, boy?
You bring that back now.
[music concludes]
Shit.
Little shits have no idea
what they're doin'.
[soft music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
[soft music continues]
[cell phone chimes]
[leaves rustling in distance]
[music concludes]
[ominous music playing]
[ominous music continues]
[Tim grunts]
[music concludes]
[Nate] Dude, stop making
so much noise.
- [Isaac] Sorry.
- [Nate] Ready?
- [Isaac] Let. Us. In.
- [Nate] Let. Us. In.
Dude! You have no fucking idea
what just happened.
Oh, my God. Calm down.
[Tim] Guys,
what are you doing here?
Making sure you're still alive,
'cause last I thought
you were gonna give us a ride.
Huh? What? Where's Tramer?
Didn't he tell you guys?
[Nate] Tell us what?
[Tramer]
That you're a fucking asshole.
Oh, my God, dude.
I didn't think you'd
actually go through with it.
I am impressed.
That is the last time
I ever listen to you.
Oh, my God, dude,
calm your tits.
That guy's basically
a walking corpse.
- He wasn't gonna do anything.
- Really.
He put a fucking shotgun
to my face.
What'd you think
he was gonna do?
Guys.
Where did you get this?
These shitheads made me take it
off of Hawthorne's porch.
Uh. Nobody forced you.
I saw the sack in the back
of his truck earlier.
I was trying to help him
move stuff
and he was ready to strangle me.
Sounds about right.
The guy's a fucking whack job.
I wonder what's in this
whack job"s dirty sack.
Ew. Hopefully your brain.
[chuckles]
You gonna let us in or what?
I need a fucking drink.
Yeah, I'm fucking freezing.
I really shouldn't guys.
My mom's upstairs
resting right now.
Tim, let us in.
We came all this way.
Just gonna
leave us out in the cold?
My nipples are as hard as rocks.
Hey, just,
leave this out here man.
Oh, dude.
Stop being such a pussy.
I just want to see what's in it.
Excuse me. God.
I need to wash my face.
- You know where the bathroom is.
- [PJ sighs] Thanks Timmy.
- Anytime.
- [chuckles]
- Hey Tim.
- Hey, uh, Danielle.
Oh, hey, what is that?
A Lucy costume?
- Yeah.
- [Tim] Make that one yourself?
No. Thank God.
It would be terrible if I did.
What about you?
What did you dress up as?
Guess I'm the, uh,
Great Pumpkin.
Cute. Did you come yet?
No?
- [grunts]
- [indistinct chatter]
You guys have a knife?
- What?
- Or something?
- Do I look like I have a knife?
- That's what he said.
Guys,
I'm really glad you're here,
but can you keep it down?
My mom's...
Ya just told us,
"Your mom's taking a rest."
You got a knife on you?
Come on.
Yeah, I haven't seen your mom
in forever. How is she?
Oh, she's, uh... [chuckles]
she's doing all right.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Wait, wait. She beat it?
She's uh...
She's got cancer, actually.
Brain cancer.
Doctors are saying she's only
got another three months.
But you ask her,
she'd say another three decades.
I am, so sorry. I had no idea.
Your mom's a fighter, though.
She'll get through it.
I know she will.
Thanks, Danielle.
- Tim I really wanted to...
- [Nate] Fuck. You.
[screams] Got it.
Thanks to none of you bitches.
- [Isaac] Hurry it up.
- Let's see what Old Man Rivers
- got in his dirty sack.
- [PJ] God. That stinks.
[coughs]
What is this? [shrieks]
Fuck? What is this?
[indistinct clamoring]
[Tim] What are you guys doing
bringing this shit here?
[PJ] Oh, my God.
Is that a fucking dog?
- I knew this guy was a psycho.
- Nobody touch me.
Guys, he saw me take it.
He's probably
on his way right now.
He didn't see us.
Why would you say that?
Wait, remember those kids
that disappeared
a few years ago?
- [Tim] No.
- Everyone thinks
that he killed them
and buried them in his basement.
No that's a myth.
It's not true. It's not real.
Quiet.
That's what he did
to these animals!
Quiet.
[cell phone buzzing]
- What is that?
- Whose phone?
[cell phone buzzing continues]
Dude, why are you calling me?
- What? I'm not.
- Uh. Yes, you are.
- Shit.
- Oh, my God.
This isn't even a good prank.
Really, dude?
Guys, seriously,
I think I dropped my phone.
Okay, I see. [chuckles]
I see what's going on here.
You guys are trying to prank me.
It's not gonna work.
You know why?
- Because I'm going to answer.
- [cell phone clicks]
Uh. Hello?
You have seven days to live,
Tramer, seven days.
[Hawthorne] You have less if you
don't shut the fuck up,
you goddamn pecker head.
I think it's...
I think this is for you.
[Hawthorne] You have no idea
what kind of a fucking mess
you made tonight.
Now you all have to listen.
If you even know how to do that?
[Isaac]
Fuck you, you sick freak.
You listen to us.
We know what's in your bag.
[Hawthorne] That bag is nothing
compared to what'll happen
if you don't bring it back.
- Immediately!
- [Tramer] No way, man.
We're calling the cops
on your animal abusing ass.
Please do. Save me a phone call.
I look forward to sharing
what you've been up to tonight.
You could easily do a few months
jail time for this.
Isn't that right, Ms. Wes?
Yeah, well, you're looking
at way more than that, pal.
Oh, I'd be lucky
to have that much time.
Now, look,
we're all in trouble here.
Bring back the sack
and maybe we can stop
whatever's going to happen.
Guys, I need to get
my phone back.
Your cars out front. Let's get
this the fuck over with.
I can't leave.
You should be here by now!
Move it!
[Isaac] Tim, please.
[Linda coughing]
Come on! Just give us a ride.
Okay, fine. Just keep it down
until we go.
Oh, my God, dude.
Bag that bitch up. Let's go.
- You can fuck right off.
- Shut up!
[coughing]
[Tramer]
Will you help me with this?
Yup.
What is this thing?
[Isaac] Oh, no, it's face,
that's a face, that's a face.
[Aos Si screams]
- [shotgun blast]
- [Tim] Okay, here we are.
What the hell is that?
Looks like someone else
pranked him.
[PJ] Yeah.
[Tim]
Guys, that's the same symbol
that's been all over
the news tonight.
[Nate] Nobody cares, dude,
just go out and get your phone
already, okay?
I'm not going in the house
by myself.
Uh. Um. It's your phone.
So it's your problem.
Here, I'll open the
door for you.
- There ya go. Go on, buddy.
- God dammit, Nate.
Will you stop
being a stupid fucking dick
for once in your life?
You're the reason why
we're all here.
You should be
getting the phone yourself.
So get your punk ass, out there.
What did you say?
Oh, you heard me. Tell you what.
I'll go with you too,
just to prove how much of a man
you're not.
Okay.
- [Isaac chuckling]
- [chuckles]
Come on, Isaac.
You're coming too.
- But Babe?
- Don't give me that babe shit.
If you ever wanna see
any of this ever again,
I suggest
that you get the fuck out.
Great. Just great.
My girlfriend's
holding her pussy hostage
and now someone's
grandpa's gonna kill me.
- [Tramer] Now what?
- [Nate] Where is he?
What is that?
[eerie music playing]
[Nate gasps]
Is... is that blood?
I don't know,
but someone just knock already.
Move.
[Tramer]
So whose going in first?
Hello?
[coughs]
[music concludes]
Hello?
Mr. Hawthorne?
[Nate]
Yo, dude. Is that your phone?
Right here.
- [chuckles]
- You're such a dick.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
It was pretty funny.
- It's a little funny.
- It's not funny.
Where the fuck is this guy?
He's probably finding
some road kill to fuck.
Jesus.
[ominous music playing]
[typewriter keys clacking]
- [music concludes]
- [typewriter sliding]
- [glass breaking]
- [grunts]
[indistinct chatter]
- [Nate] Fuck, dude.
- Isaac, stop touching shit.
- It's fine.
- [breathes deeply]
Guys,
will someone call my phone,
- please, so we can find it?
- Yes. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm doing it now.
- [Tramer] Jesus.
- [cell phone dialing]
- [door creaking]
- [eerie music playing]
[cell phone dialing]
[Tramer] Wait, wait,
just listen.
[cell phone dialing]
- [Nate] Jesus Christ.
- Go figure.
Of course,
it's in the fucking basement.
[eerie music continues]
[PJ] Shit.
Is there a light?
[PJ] Of course
there's no fucking light
you idiot.
[Tramer] Guys, watch your step.
- [Nate] Oh. Oh, God.
- [Tramer chuckles]
[eerie music continues]
Shit, there's somebody dead
dog down here. That sucks.
[unsettling music playing]
"Aos Si?"
Isaac! I thought I told you
to stop touching shit.
I'm sorry.
Guys, come on. Please focus.
- Call my phone again.
- [PJ] Okay.
I'm calling it,
I'm calling it, I'm calling it.
[cell phone dialing]
[cell phone vibrating]
Oh, shit.
- [Isaac] Oh...
- [cell phone vibrating]
You go first.
[Nate murmuring]
- [PJ sighs]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- God. What is this?
- Oh, gross. It stinks.
- [cell phone vibrating]
- [Nate] Fuck.
[door handle clangs]
- [Nate groans] Someone's puked.
- [cell phone vibrating]
- What the fuck is that?
- [Isaac coughing]
[cell phone vibrating]
[music darkens]
Oh! [grunts]
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Oh, fuck! Fuck!
[cell phone vibrates]
- [indistinct clamoring]
- [Isaac] Guys, wait!
[indistinct clamoring]
[PJ] Come on Isaac. Let's go!
[music concludes]
[crickets chirping]
[soft rock music
playing over radio]
[chuckles softly]
It's been a long time
since we hung out
on Halloween together.
Yeah. Wasn't the last time
the year it snowed?
Yeah. One of the joys
of living in upstate New York.
You never know when you're gonna
freeze to death in October.
- [chuckles softly]
- Oh, yeah.
Last I recall,
you were wearing that
Amazon Warrior costume, right?
Yes. And it was a terrible idea.
I mean. [chuckles softly]
I kinda liked it.
- [chuckles softly]
- I mean.
Yeah, maybe for the weather,
it wasn't the best idea.
Yeah, and if I recall correctly,
some sweet guy gave me his coat,
and saved my life.
And then didn't
talk to me for three years.
- Yeah. [sighs] I've...
- [Danielle] Tim.
- Tim, I really...
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Tramer] What was that?
- Oh, my god!
[indistinct clamoring]
- They are such idiots sometimes.
- [Nate] Get in! Get in!
- Start the car. Start the car!
- Start the car! Start the car!
Yes, I got the phone.
Fucking go!
[eerie music playing]
[crickets chirping]
So am I going to report this
or are you guys?
- Uh. Report what? I don't.
- [music concludes]
I don't know what you're
talking about.
The police will find out
eventually, Nate.
Find out what, Tramer?
'Cause we were never there.
Okay?
Our fingerprints are literally
all over that place.
Okay and what do you think's
gonna happen, dude?
Huh? You think they're going
to believe us?
Uh. "Hi, officer. We went
to return this sack of dead shit"
and found
the Headless Horseman."
Wait. Guys, guys,
you really need to look this.
God damn it, Isaac, I thought
I told you to stop taking shit.
Okay. Will you shut up
for one second?
One.
- [sighs]
- [door opening]
I guess I should just go
check on her.
[Danielle] Yeah,
I think that's a good idea.
- [Nate clears throat]
- [sighs]
- [footsteps receding]
- [door closing]
"Aos Si?"
It looks like its folklore.
[crickets chirping]
Babe.
Will ya just come back inside?
It's fucking freezing.
Are you really
gonna be like this?
Fuck. You.
What? B... Babe!
I'm sorry, all right, come on.
Watch out.
[eerie music playing]
What is it?
[Tramer]
" The Aos Si come for thee
on the night of Hallows Eve."
Okay, so what does that mean?
[eerie music continues]
It says, "Every Hallows Eve,
the veil between"
the world of the living
and the dead is lifted,
"allowing Spirit's passage
into our realm."
"Entities known as the 'Aos Si'"
would disguise themselves
in costumes of their own
"creation in order to blend in
with the humans."
"Villagers of old
would protect their homes"
by leaving out
offerings of food and clothing.
"In attempt to
appease the Aos Si."
"The spirits traveled door
to door collecting these gifts"
on the last night
of the harvest,
"known as Samhain. Or as
we know it today, Halloween."
"Over time,
families grew larger,"
making it nearly impossible
to ration for the Aos Si,
"forcing the spirits
to feed on their own kind."
"Endless suffering led
the Aos Si to harvest those"
from their homes
that failed the tradition
"of appeasing
the spirits hunger."
"In blood, they'd mark
the sign of the harvest"
on villagers homes,
warning others
"to honor the tradition
or suffer the consequences."
[music concludes]
They sound like the first
trick or treaters.
Oh, cute story.
Sounds like Santa Claus to me.
More like Krampus.
Seriously, why are you being
like this?
Why?
Because somebody died tonight
and all you're doing
- is telling scary stories.
- Okay, look,
I'm just as concerned
as you are.
But you can't just go
walking off like this.
Oh, so you can go
and do dumb shit all night
and you think you can tell me
what to do?
Don't touch me.
I thought
you liked that, princess?
Shut up. I'm not a princess.
- I'm a Goddess.
- Whatever.
- [PJ chuckling]
- [kisses]
[Nate] Look.
Clearly the guy killed
someone's dog,
so they John Wick'd him.
That does not explain
the book, Nate.
Or the news reports.
People have been missing
all night.
Would you just stop it?
The guy fucking killed himself,
okay, it's as simple as that.
Now, drop it.
If you're not going to drink it,
I will.
Awesome.
- [moans]
- [Isaac kissing, moaning]
- Wait a sec.
- What?
[PJ sighing, chuckling softly]
- [smooches, moans]
- [smooches, moans]
Oh, God.
I love the way your skin feels.
Is that new moisturizer?
Shut up. You're ruining it.
[both moan]
- [smooches]
- [smooches, grunts]
[gasps] What are you doing?
I'm making us number one
on the Hub.
Oh, give me that.
How do you turn this off?
I... I thought
you said you want me
- to get more pictures of us?
- [PJ] Jesus Christ.
[unsettling music playing]
[groans] What the fuck?
- [bones cracking]
- [groans]
[grunts]
[ears ringing]
- PJ, get help.
- [pants]
Better get outta here
before you get hurt, freak.
[ears ringing]
[grunts]
[breathes shakily] Last warning.
[ears ringing]
[yells]
- [bones breaking]
- [screams]
[dramatic music playing]
[screams]
[choked screams]
- [music concludes]
- That's it. I'm calling my dad.
[keypad dialing]
- [eerie music playing]
- [Nate] What was that, hmm?
Like I said,
we are not calling anyone.
- [Danielle] Nate! No!
- [Nate] Oops.
Nate, what the fuck is wrong
with you?
- [Danielle] What?
- Oops.
- [PJ screaming]
- [tense music playing]
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
- [Danielle] What is wrong?
- [sobs, pants]
There's someone out there!
[pants]
PJ, if you and your boyfriend
are pulling a stupid prank
- it is not funny.
- This is not a fucking prank!
- [pants]
- [object pounding]
Let me guess.
That must be Isaac now?
Not bad though.
Really, not bad.
- [object pounding]
- [Nate] I'll give you some
credit though,
that was pretty good.
[Aos Si snarling]
I swear,
if you two are joking...
I'm not fucking joking. [pants]
All right, you guys gotta leave.
This isn't even funny.
Dude, Isaac, come on. Get up.
[bones cracking]
This isn't even
a good joke, dude.
[heart beating]
[PJ gasping, sobbing]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! [sobs]
[Tramer] What is that?
What is that?
[Nate] What is that?
I don't know. I don't know.
- PJ, give me your phone.
- [PJ] Okay.
- What are you doing?
- I am calling for help.
- Jesus Christ.
- [line ringing]
Hello. This is Danielle Wes.
[911 Operator] 911. Please hold.
[elevator music playing]
Are you kidding me?
This is an emergency.
[Tramer] What is... what is it?
They just put me on hold.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Wait a sec.
- [PJ] What?
It's just standing there
waiting for something.
I think
it's because of the sack.
What does that have to do
with anything?
It... it must have been
an offering.
An offering?
Would you stop reading
this god damn book?
Look here, now look out there.
This isn't a fucking story, man.
[Nate] Fuck.
It says, "The Aos Si
are easily angered."
When you took the sack,
you must've appeared
as a threat.
God damn it, Nate.
What? I'm not the one
who took the sack.
Tramer was.
What's it still want, then, huh?
I gave everything back.
[Tim] "If the Aos Si feel
easily threatened"
then they'll hunt
all that hinder
their chance of survival.
Once targeted,
the only way to stop its game
is to take the life...
"and offer the body
of a loved one."
A loved one?
Why not anyone or anything?
I don't know.
It must be a lesson.
What do you mean, a lesson?
Isaac! No! [sobs]
[Tim] "If the Aos Si
don't harvest enough to survive"
they must consume
their own, right?"
They want us to feel
their suffering.
- [PJ sobs]
- We need to go
to the police, Tim.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
If... if that thing is real
that you're reading about,
that thing's not going to let us
get to the fucking car.
No, no, no, no, no, I can't.
- [Danielle] Yes, you can.
- No, no, no, no.
We have to try.
All right, we gotta go.
Imma get my mom. Come on.
It's not after your mom.
We need to leave her.
Dude, leave her. We gotta go.
Nate, how on earth
could you say that?
- I'm not leaving her.
- We are targets. She isn't.
[Tramer] He has a point, man.
We're just putting her
in danger.
[Nate] Yeah.
Come on.
What are you gonna do with that?
It's my grandpa's lucky bat.
Let's hope it's ours too.
Yeah.
You weren't even on the team.
Give me that thing. Come on, go!
You gotta go, go, go, go!
[eerie music playing]
[intense music playing]
[screams, sobs]
[Tramer] Go, go, go. Don't look.
[Nate] Holy shit.
- [indistinct clamoring]
- [PJ sobs]
Oh, my God. [sobs]
[Tramer] Dude.
Let's go, let's go.
I can't see out the windshield.
[Nate] Oh, my God. [gasps]
Just... just floor it already.
- It won't start.
- [car engine failing]
- [eerie music playing]
- [Tim] Where is it?
- [Aos Si screams]
- [Nate] Oh, shit!
[all scream]
[indistinct screaming,
clamoring]
[Nate panting]
Wait. Wait. Where is it?
[unsettling music playing]
Looks like it's just a mask.
[screams] Oh, my hand!
Oh, god!
[Aos Si snarling]
[bone snapping]
[Nate screaming]
Be careful it's in deep.
[Tim] You need to use your legs.
- [Nate] No, no. [groans]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [music concludes]
- [groans]
- [soft music playing]
- [winces]
Can you feel it?
[groans] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's just get it out.
Just get it out.
Just get it out.
[screams] No, no, no.
No, no, no.
- Just leave it. Just leave it.
- I can't. It'll get infected.
I don't care. Just let it,
let it. Don't touch it.
Do you want it amputated?
[pants]
- No.
- Okay. Okay.
[chugs]
You know what you're doing?
- Not really.
- [pants]
My dad taught me everything
I need to know.
[groans]
[screams]
Can you still feel it?
Yeah. Yeah, it just hurts.
Okay.
- You should be fine then.
- [pants]
[intense music playing]
[Aos Si screams]
- [music concludes]
- [pants] What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
Oh, yes.
Yes, you do.
What do you mean?
You already said it, right?
[grunts]
A loved one needs to die.
Tim. Buddy, I hate
to be the one to say it but...
someone's gotta die.
[suspenseful music playing]
No one is going to die, Nate.
And we are not killing anyone.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not us.
Just Tim.
Why are you even saying this?
[Nate grunting]
Don't play dumb, Tim.
You're the only one...
who has anything...
to sacrifice.
- [Linda coughing]
- Oh.
Uh...
How long did you say
she had left, Tim?
Was it one month?
- Or two?
- Stop.
[grunts] How many times
has she had chemo, Tim?
Stop.
Do you really like seeing her
in this much pain?
Stop it.
She's not going
to get better, Tim.
It's either her...
- or all of us.
- Stop it!
[Linda coughing]
No one's got anything
to say, huh?
It's cause we know it.
And you know it.
Yeah.
So, if you don't do this...
We all...
[echoing] ...die.
[eerie music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[Aos Si snarling]
[Nate] How long did you say
she had left, Tim?
You really like seeing her
in this much pain?
How many times
has she had chemo, Tim?
She's not gonna get better, Tim.
It's either her...
or all of us.
[music concludes]
[Tim panting]
[Nate] Tim,
if you don't do this...
we all die.
[tense music playing]
[Tim breathes shakily]
[Linda] I'm so proud of you.
[Fred] Your mother and I
are really appreciative
of all the sacrifices
you've made and...
[Linda] You will always be...
my little baby.
[Fred] Proud of the man
you're becoming.
[Tim panting]
[melancholic music playing]
[Tim sniffles]
[breathes heavily]
[clock ticking]
[indistinct chatter over TV]
- [Linda] Fred. Is that you?
- [music concludes]
No mom. It's just me.
Go back to sleep.
[Linda] Good. I don't wanna
share my covers anyway.
[melancholic music playing]
[sobs]
Tim, I am so, so sorry.
I think there's another way.
Another way?
[Nate] What?
You mean you didn't do it?
- No.
- [Nate sighing]
Tim, there is no other way.
Samhain ends at midnight, right?
If we can outlast it 'til then,
we should be able
to get through this.
[scoffs]
Your mom needs to die.
My mother has been fighting
for her life every day
for the past three years.
If she can do that,
then we can do this.
We can't do that, Tim.
Look at us.
Look at my fucking leg.
Look what it did to Isaac.
It wrapped his skin
around your god damn car.
What's stopping it
from coming in here
and doing the same thing to us?
[wind whooshing]
I don't know.
Hawthorne never finished
translating the book.
The book? [chuckles]
[Nate laughing]
Oh, Tim.
You never were one to make
the tough decisions, were you?
[grunts, groans]
But I am not gonna die...
because of you... [grunts]
and your selfish ways.
What are you even talking about?
No one else has to die.
[Nate grunts]
We can get through this.
Together.
You're so naive, Tim.
The answer isn't always
fucking togetherness.
That's what gets you
fucked in the end.
What are you even talking about?
You and me.
We used to be like brothers.
- Nate, come on.
- [Nate] And in return...
I lost the one thing
that I loved the most.
Because of you.
- [screams]
- [screams]
[intense music playing]
[retches, coughs]
- [Nate grunts]
- [groans]
[wind whooshing]
- [Nate grunting]
- [breathes deeply, coughs]
[Nate yells]
- [grunts]
- [wind whooshing]
- Die already, bitch!
- [coughs]
- [grunts]
- [gasps]
[door slamming]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [screams]
[Nate]
You're killing us all, Timmy.
[laughs menacingly]
Okay, okay, okay, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
I know what you want,
I know what you want.
I know what you want. [grunts]
I can help you.
I can help you. I'll...
I'll kill for you.
[grunts]
[breathes heavily]
Look! There they are!
There they are.
[Tramer] Hey, stop!
Stop the car. Hey, stop!
You want them. Not me.
You want them, not me.
You want them...
[screams]
[snarls]
- [Tramer] Tim!
- [Aos Si screaming]
Tim, no!
[guttural rasping]
No, no, Tim. Come on.
We got to go.
We got to go. Come on.
[suspenseful music playing]
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- [music concludes]
- [stutters] Hey, everyone,
I'm your driver, Ian.
- Uh, where can I take you?
- Anywhere. Just go!
Listen, I'm still kind of
on the clock here.
I need you
to give me a destination.
[dramatic musical sting]
Are you kidding?
We need to go now.
[dramatic musical sting]
Listen man, this is only
my second day on the job.
- [dramatic musical sting]
- [Nate gagging]
I've been driving
all these drunk partiers around.
[dramatic musical sting]
And I just need you
to take it easy on me.
- [intense music playing]
- [Nate gagging]
Just go
before you end up like he did.
Fine! All right! Fine!
But I want a five-star review.
Wanna get that bonus.
- [groans] Help!
- [bones crunching]
[Aos Si screaming]
[music concludes]
[radio announcer] Good evening,
Ashville. This just in.
We're receiving breaking news
that multiple cell towers
across the county
have been unresponsive,
along with a new record
of missing persons in one day.
Eyewitness reports
are telling us
this could be the work
of a cul...
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Could you not turn off
my programs?
Could you not bleed
all over my interior?
[crickets chirping]
Look out!
- [breaks squealing]
- [cat mewling]
[gasps]
Did you just kill that cat?
No, I think they have,
uh, nine lives or something.
[tire blowing]
[warning light dinging]
Oh, man.
And I just bought those.
What, you can't stop here,
we need to keep going.
Listen,
we ain't getting anywhere
unless I go out there
and fix this tire.
Besides, my insurance doesn't
cover flats.
You've got to be
fucking kidding me.
Listen, we're only a few miles
away from where I got you,
and if you just come outside
and help me jack this thing up
we'll be out of here in no time.
Jesus Christ.
All right, come on. Let's go.
[car door closing]
[girls gasping]
Hey, uh, anyone know
how to use this thing?
Do you not know
how to fix a flat tire?
What do I look like,
I work for AAA?
I don't know.
Up here, come on!
Hey. Hey, where are ya goin?
All right, well,
if you're not back by the time
I fix this thing, then, ya know,
I'm finding a new rider.
- [signal clicking]
- [crickets chirping]
[Aos Si screaming]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Tim] Come on. This way.
Up here.
Fuck! Come on.
What are we doing?
Why didn't we wait at the car?
I don't know,
but if you wanna wait
by the road then be my guest.
[panting] We trust you.
Let's go.
[music concludes]
[Tramer] Okay, now what?
Do you really trust me?
[signal clicking]
[police sirens wailing]
[radio beeping]
Dispatch, we've got a car
off to the side on Route 11
near the Fox Road intersection.
Hazards are flashing,
and there's no one in sight.
Has anyone gotten
any word on this?
[radio static buzzing]
- Anyone?
- [radio static buzzing]

[grunts] No!
Wait. Tramer!
[screams]
[Tramer] I didn't mean
to take your bag!
No!
I'm sorry!
[screams]
[Tim] No!
- It can't be all of us.

Okay.
[bone cracking]
[Aos Si screams]
[Aos Sis screaming]
- [groans]
- Are you okay? We need to go.
I can't. I cracked...
I cracked a rib.
- [soft music playing]
- [Danielle coughs]
We're so close.
Come on, I'll carry you.
- No. Just leave me behind.
- I'm not leaving you.
I'm just gonna slow you down.
No.
You should've let Nate kill me.
[Tim] No.
Yes.
You would all still be alive.
- You don't know that.
- Yes, I do. And so do you.
[Aos Si screaming]
The only thing I've been scared
of more than today.

Daddy?
Danielle? What the hell
are you doing out here?
- Daddy, help.
- Honey, I'm coming!
[radio beeps]
Dispatch, I need backup

What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at home with mom?
There was this... this thing.

["Chasing Ghosts" playing]
Seems like yesterday
You asked me not to go
You told me
That you want me along
First you're here
Then you're gone
Can't tell what went wrong
Don't know if it's over
I just need some closure
It's possessing my mind
While you run and hide
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Searching into the dark
Just to see where you are
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Never thought
That you'd be like this
Felt my heart skip
With every kiss
Picture me
When life gets colder
You never knew
How to keep your composure
Screaming in the attic
Acting so dramatic
Girl you had me thinking
That I might be an addict
Begging me to stay
Just in case you wanna play
But you never really thought
That there might come a day
And I'm gone
Don't ask what went wrong
It's possessing my mind
While you run and hide
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Searching into the dark
Just to see where you are
Am I chasing ghosts?
Do you think
She'll call me back?

Really? Candy corn. Disgusting.
Right? They used to give us
full size candy bars.
- [screams]

Well, you can blame inflation.
You ungrateful little shits,
it's free candy.
[blows candle]
[whispers]
Spoiled little fuckers.
You get all dressed up,
you go buy candy,
just trying to make kids happy,
you dress up like a scarecrow.
[knocking on door]
Er. I'm all done for the night.
[knocking continues]
Can you not hear?
I'm out of candy. All right?
[thudding on door]
You're a little old
to be trick or treating.
Yeah. All right.
I... I got a little bit left.
All right, dude, it's all I got.
All right?
I get it.
You're creeping me to death.
Did you smash my pumpkin?
[scoffs] It's a holiday.
So I'm gonna give you
the count of five
to get the fuck out of here.
Or you and I,
we're gonna have a problem.
Five.

That's a new one.
Oh, and please.
Give my best to your mother.
I will. Happy Halloween.
- Happy Halloween.

[cell phone ringing]
- Tramer!
- What's up!
You figure out your costume yet?
Yeah, I'm actually
working on it right now.
Hey, what time we meeting up?
Oh, after I finish handing out
candy, maybe six-ish?
All right, yeah, cool.
Hey, before I forget.
Hey, this looks like
the Red Baron, right?
'Cause I don't want
people thinking I'm, like,
Amelia Earhart or something.
- Yeah, you look fine.
- [Isaac sighs deeply]
Hey, is that Tim?
Yo, Tim.
Hey, you still gonna be
our DD tonight?
[sighs] I didn't know I was...
Awesome. Cool.
We'll see you later.
[Tramer]
You gonna wash your hands or?
[sighs]
Hey, we can get another ride.
Nah. It's fine.
I wasn't gonna
drink tonight anyways.
[scoffs] Why?
'Cause you're a lightweight?
No, 'cause I know
I'm either gonna get stuck
pulling you
or Isaac off the car later.
- [wood breaking]
- Shit.
I gotta go. I'll uh...
I'll text you
when I'm on the way.
All right. Later, bro.
I'm so winning this
costume contest, this year.
[Tim] Hey, Mr. Hawthorne.
Let me help you with that.
I don't need help.
It's no problem, really.
I got it. [pants]
[ominous music playing]
- I said I don't need help.
- [groans]
- Now, get!
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
Didn't mean to what?
Get involved in some place
you don't belong.
Hey! What's going on up there?
- [Tim pants] No I...
- Huh?
Oh.
Get!
Look, I'm sorry.
I really didn't mean
to cause a problem.

[radio host] What is up,
Ashville?
It is All Hallows Eve.
Don't forget to light
those jack o' lanterns
to ward off the evil spirits
coming to your door
this evening.
[radio announcer groans]
In another week,
you're gonna tell me
to get ready to leave out
cookies and milk...
so I can get some presents
from a big fat guy
wearing a red suit. Ho, ho, ho!
Okay, Ashville listeners,
enough of this superstitious BS.
Coming up next
is a new spooky track
to get you
into the Halloween spirit.
[laughs maniacally]
["Pumpkin Smash" playing]
I was carving up
A pumpkin on Halloween night
To ward off the spirits
That cause a fright
The wind grew loud
And I heard a sound
I knocked my pumpkin
Right to the ground
The pumpkin smash
My pumpkin went splat
The pumpkin smash
Thought it was
Harder than that
The pumpkin smash
Luckily, I bought two
The pumpkin smash
What face should I do?
I grabbed my knife...
Hey, I know you're gonna grab
a rake and finish off
these leaves, right?
I know you're not gonna wear
those damn shorts anymore,
right?
What's wrong with these shorts?
Look around. They're scarier
than the lawn decorations.
[ominous music playing]
[music concludes]
Oh yeah, well, they don't
scare off your mom.
She likes a little extra skin.
- [chuckles]
- Oh, please, just stop.
[chuckles] Hey,
before you go inside though.
There's been
a change of plans tonight.
Like, what?
I'm supposed to go out tonight.
- I know. I understand...
- [police siren wailing]
[pensive music playing]
Hold that thought.
- [Fred] Howdy, Officer Wes.
- Hello, Fred.
- Tim.
- [music concludes]
How you both holding up?
We're fine.
Taking things day by day.
What brings you out here?
A couple houses in the area
seem to have been vandalized
early this morning.
Seems like
the owners are all out of town.
The strange thing is, though,
we got several calls
on missing pets.
I don't know if it's related,
but have you guys noticed
anything suspicious,
out of the ordinary?
- Nah.
- Mm-mm.
Been quiet around here,
hoping it stays that way.
You know how it gets around
Halloween time.
Yeah, don't I know.
I'm gonna be out patrolling
the streets regardless,
so if either of you see
anything suspicious,
- call me A.S.A.P. Please.
- We will, Officer.
- [Officer Wes] All right.
- Hey, be safe tonight.
- [Officer Wes] You as well.
- Watch out for this guy.
You can count on it.
Hey, hold up a sec.
Look, I'm working a double now.
I need you to stay here
all night long.
[sighs]
Work can't find anyone else?
[scoffs] I wish.
Look, I know
you want to spend Halloween
with your friends and all,
but I just don't want these
late night trick or treaters
pestering your mom
all night long.
Can't we just leave
the porch lights off?
Come on. You know
they're still going
to ring the doorbell.
Yeah. You're right.
- What time you gotta leave?
- Right now.
I gotta be there at eleven.
Here, take this.
It's a couple minutes fast,
but I set the alarm
for seven and twelve
and that's when you check
on your mom.
I'll set an alarm on my phone.
[Fred] No, no, no. Take this.
It's more reliable
than your phone.
You're always tic tacking
and facegramming.
I'll take the damn thing!
Okay, I'll wear the watch.
- [Fred] Thank you.
- Uh-huh.
Hey, look,
I know things have been tough,
but your mother and I
are really appreciative
of all the sacrifices
you've made
and I just want you
to know that.
[sighs]
It's nothing Dad, really.
Proud of you son.
Proud of the man
you're becoming.
Here, come here.
Really appreciate it.

- Oh. Fuck. Gotta go.
Here, take this.
Hey, have fun tonight,
all right?
Love you bud.
[sighs] Love you, too.

the yard decorations?
[Tim] Yeah. They look great.
What are you doing?
[Tim] Looking for something.
Like maybe this?
Yeah. Exactly that.
- Tim?
- Yeah?
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on
is I nearly get beaten
getting fucking pumpkins
for you this morning
so we can carve 'em later.
My friends want me
to babysit them tonight,
and now Dad's making me
stay home and take care of you.
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
It's been a long morning.
I know it has.
Take a deep breath.
[both breathe]
[Linda] Try to slow down.
Life is...
so very short.
I want to make sure
you enjoy it.
What are you doing?
I'm having fun.
[chuckles softly]
I'm not twelve anymore.
I know.
But you will always be...
my little baby.
- [oven timer dings]

Cookies! Please, hurry,
go get the cookies.
The Halloween shaped ones?
- Yes!

I don't need to frost em, do I?
[Linda] No. They need to cool.

Do you recognize my voice?
It's me, Tim, okay?
It's your son.
I'm gonna take care of you, okay?
- [pants] Okay.

All right?
And bring you upstairs
right now.

And hobgoblins.
[Tim] I had to stay with my mom,

[Tramer] Damn, dude, that sucks.
You're totally missing
your shot.
[sighs] Yeah?
What shot is that?
[Tramer]
Danielle, bro, she's here!
What?
Why didn't you tell me that?
- [Tramer] I tried to, but...
- [breaking news alert blares]
Good evening.
I'm Tiffany Warlock.
This just in.
We're receiving multiple reports
about strange events
transpiring this Hallows eve.
Live on scene is our field
reporter, Paulie Siglionie.
Thanks, Tiff.
As you can see,
the house behind me
seems to have been
trick or treated to death.
[Tramer] Yo!
- Hold on a sec.
- [Paulie] Since this morning,
multiple homes have been found
with their windows shattered
and their doors kicked in.
Dude, have you seen
the news tonight?
- [Tramer] No, what's going on?
- Weird thing is
all of these homes
have a strange symbol marking
the outside that experts believe
is connected to the occult.
I don't know.
Looks like a bunch of homes
are getting broken into.
[Tramer]
Eh, it's probably just kids.
Why would kids do something
this messed up?
[Tramer] It's Halloween.
Does this really surprise you?
[Paulie] Mysteriously enough,
we cannot question the owners.
As they all seem
to have abandoned
their homes
in the past few hours.
[Tramer] Hello.
We ask residents
to please contact
the local authorities
with any information.
[Tramer] Tim.
This is Paulie Siglionie
in Ashville.
- [Tramer] Tim.
- [Paulie] Happy Halloween.
[Tramer] You still there?
Yo! Hello.
- [doorbell ringing]
- [Tramer] Anyway, uh,
I think we're gonna
get out of here soon.
This party is kind of lame, so,
I mean,
if you wanna hang out later,
just give us a call.
Ashville Police
are advising everyone
to stay indoors and not answer
for any unexpected visitors.
[knocking]
Authorities are also asking...
- [Tramer] Tim.
- citizens to keep...
a lookout for any of these...
- missing persons.
- [Tramer] Hey. Tim.
They haven't been seen
by their families
since this morning.
[Tramer] Why are you
ignoring me, man?
[knocking continues]
[Tramer] Tim, hello?
[Tramer]
Dude, are you still there?
[knocking on door continues]
[Tramer] Earth to Tim. Hello.
[knocking intensifies]
[Tramer] Do you know how
to have a conversation, dude?
Come on.
Hello?
[children] Trick or treat!
[children chattering, giggling]
- [children] Thank you!
- Uh-huh...
[Tramer] What the hell was that?
- [watch alarm beeping]
- [Tim sighs]
Sorry, it was just some trick
or treaters.
[Tramer] Oh, trick or treaters
on Halloween. [chuckles]
- Weird.
- Hey, I gotta go.
Tell Danielle I said "hey".
[Tramer]
Yeah, I'll try to come up
with something better
than "hey".
[clicks tongue] Sounds good.
[Nate] You're a star.
You're a star, Nate.
Just nobody knows it yet.
Definitely gonna break
300 views with this one.
[exhales sharply]
- Shit. God damn wind.
- [chuckles]
[Tramer] You have to unravel
it first you idiot.
[Nate] Shut up.
Get me another one.
Fine. Make it count though.
This shit's not easy to come by.
Nice throw.
[Tramer mocking]
[Nate exhales sharply]
[Nate] Shit.
Go, go, go, go, go.
[crowd laughing]
[pants] Shit, please tell me
you got that?
Yeah but I don't think you're
gonna wanna post this one.
Let me see.
Dude! Of course,
I can't post this shit.
I'm about to break
700 followers.
These angles suck.
Yes, Nate.
It's definitely the angles.
[all chuckling]
You know, this is why
you never got into film school.
You know nothing
about cinematography.
- Oh, and you do? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Guys, what are we doing?
I thought we were going
to be partying all night.
Babe, relax.
The party goes where we go.
Well, babe, this party sucks.
[mocks] Well, babe, number one.
Who, what and why she's here?
- Wait. Didn't you follow us?
- Mm.
Ah. Yeah, only because I thought
there would be a DD?
Hey, what happened to Tim?
Didn't you tell him
Danielle was coming?
Tim was gonna come?
Yeah, he was supposed to,
but he had a family thing.
Ah. Gotcha.
Yeah but maybe we could call him
and he could give us a ride
because he still has to RSVP
to your going away party.
- You invited him?
- Wait, what party?
What party?
Of course, I invited him.
Well, whatever we're not going
anywhere until we do this...
One. Last. Thing.
[Linda] Tim?
Is that you?
Yeah, Mom, it's me.
- How you feeling?
- [sighs]
I've been worse.
[sighs] I know.
You never did say how many
drinks you had the other night.
[Linda coughing]
Not enough. [coughs]
Yeah, me neither.
- [sighs] What time is it?
- [Tim] It's just after seven.
Did we get
a lot of kids tonight?
Mm. Not as many as last year.
Is there candy left?
- No.
- Oh, thank God.
I don't want your father
having any.
He still thinks he looks good
in those damn shorts.
- [coughs]
- [chuckles] Yeah.
I've been trying
to talk to him about that.
[coughs]
I should get up
and clean up that mess.
No, Mom, Mom, just lay down.
I already took care of it.
[gasps]
- Just lay back down.
- Honey,
you didn't need to do that.
It's fine.
It's not right.
You shouldn't have to take care
of your mother,
at your age.
I'm sorry.
You have nothing to be
sorry for.
I'm not ready to die.
But I cannot...
live like this.
[somber music playing]
[Tim] It's gonna get better.
It's got to.
[coughs]
You should be out
with your friends.
You should be with a girl.
You should be chasing
your dreams.
Not supporting your parents.
[coughs]
We could've gotten help.
We can't afford the extra help.
[coughs] I could have...
I could've gotten a remote job.
I could've... [coughs]
Sold the house.
[Tim] Mom.
We are family...
and this is what we do.
You have always been
my beautiful boy.
- [whimpers]
- Love you.
[sighs] I love you too.
- [coughs]
- Get some more sleep.
I'll have Dad wake you
when he gets home.
Okay, honey.
Good night. [coughing]
Good night.
[coughs lightly]
[music concludes]
[eerie music playing]
[Nate] Come on, come on,
come on, quick, come here.
[Isaac] Oh, oh.
[Tramer] This guy's been
running us off the road
since we were in diapers.
- Yeah. He never did that to me.
- Yeah, me neither.
Yeah only 'cause he wanted
to lure the young T'n'A
in the back of his truck.
[all chuckle]
This guy's got a new
paint job coming.
Fuck it. We've got
some shit to spare.
- Roll this, all right?
- [sighs] Fine.
- [Nate] Okay ready?
- [Isaac] Yeah.
- One.
- One.
- [Nate] Two.
- [Isaac] Two.
- Three.
- Three.
[PJ] Oh, shit.
[eerie music continues]
[music concludes]
[Tramer] We need to
get out of here.
Not without that bag.
[Danielle] Nate,
are you serious?
- That is just garbage.
- [PJ] Yeah.
It's Halloween, he wouldn't
just leave it out there
if you don't
want someone to take it.
This is a stupid idea.
Let's go.
- Yeah, let's go.
- I agree.
Wait, wait!
Guys. It just hit me.
You haven't participated
in tonight's activities.
You go get the fucking bag.
I'm not going anywhere near
that house, dude.
Okay, well, Amelia Earhart
and I over here
already did our part.
- Your turn.
- Oh, my God.
- Go get the bag.
- [gasps]
[eerie music playing]
[Danielle] Tramer,
you do not have to do this.
[Nate] Just stop. It's fine.
He'll be fine.
[Isaac] It's just a quick
in n' out.
[PJ] Yeah, just like you, right?
[Danielle] And what happens
when he gets caught?
Believe it or not, I don't feel
like getting arrested tonight.
[Nate] Isn't your dad a cop?
- [Danielle] Yes, Nate.
- Hey, this was Nate's idea.
[PJ] Yeah but Nate's
your shitty friend.
It's on you, too.
Yeah, well,
I'm everyone's shitty friend.
- No we're leaving.
- Let's go.

- [Nate] Let. Us. In.
Dude! You have no fucking idea
what just happened.
Oh, my God. Calm down.
[Tim] Guys,
what are you doing here?
Making sure you're still alive,
'cause last I thought
you were gonna give us a ride.
Huh? What? Where's Tramer?
Didn't he tell you guys?
[Nate] Tell us what?
[Tramer]
That you're a fucking asshole.
Oh, my God, dude.
I didn't think you'd
actually go through with it.
I am impressed.
That is the last time
I ever listen to you.
Oh, my God, dude,
calm your tits.
That guy's basically
a walking corpse.
- He wasn't gonna do anything.
- Really.
He put a fucking shotgun
to my face.
What'd you think
he was gonna do?
Guys.
Where did you get this?
These shitheads made me take it
off of Hawthorne's porch.
Uh. Nobody forced you.
I saw the sack in the back
of his truck earlier.
I was trying to help him
move stuff
and he was ready to strangle me.
Sounds about right.
The guy's a fucking whack job.
I wonder what's in this
whack job"s dirty sack.
Ew. Hopefully your brain.
[chuckles]
You gonna let us in or what?
I need a fucking drink.
Yeah, I'm fucking freezing.
I really shouldn't guys.
My mom's upstairs
resting right now.
Tim, let us in.
We came all this way.
Just gonna
leave us out in the cold?
My nipples are as hard as rocks.
Hey, just,
leave this out here man.
Oh, dude.
Stop being such a pussy.
I just want to see what's in it.
Excuse me. God.
I need to wash my face.
- You know where the bathroom is.
- [PJ sighs] Thanks Timmy.
- Anytime.
- [chuckles]
- Hey Tim.
- Hey, uh, Danielle.
Oh, hey, what is that?
A Lucy costume?
- Yeah.
- [Tim] Make that one yourself?
No. Thank God.
It would be terrible if I did.
What about you?
What did you dress up as?
Guess I'm the, uh,
Great Pumpkin.
Cute. Did you come yet?
No?
- [grunts]
- [indistinct chatter]
You guys have a knife?
- What?
- Or something?
- Do I look like I have a knife?
- That's what he said.
Guys,
I'm really glad you're here,
but can you keep it down?
My mom's...
Ya just told us,
"Your mom's taking a rest."
You got a knife on you?
Come on.
Yeah, I haven't seen your mom
in forever. How is she?
Oh, she's, uh... [chuckles]
she's doing all right.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Wait, wait. She beat it?
She's uh...
She's got cancer, actually.
Brain cancer.
Doctors are saying she's only
got another three months.
But you ask her,
she'd say another three decades.
I am, so sorry. I had no idea.
Your mom's a fighter, though.
She'll get through it.
I know she will.
Thanks, Danielle.
- Tim I really wanted to...
- [Nate] Fuck. You.
[screams] Got it.
Thanks to none of you bitches.
- [Isaac] Hurry it up.
- Let's see what Old Man Rivers
- got in his dirty sack.
- [PJ] God. That stinks.
[coughs]
What is this? [shrieks]
Fuck? What is this?
[indistinct clamoring]
[Tim] What are you guys doing
bringing this shit here?
[PJ] Oh, my God.
Is that a fucking dog?
- I knew this guy was a psycho.
- Nobody touch me.
Guys, he saw me take it.
He's probably
on his way right now.
He didn't see us.
Why would you say that?
Wait, remember those kids
that disappeared
a few years ago?
- [Tim] No.
- Everyone thinks
that he killed them
and buried them in his basement.
No that's a myth.
It's not true. It's not real.
Quiet.
That's what he did
to these animals!
Quiet.
[cell phone buzzing]
- What is that?
- Whose phone?
[cell phone buzzing continues]
Dude, why are you calling me?
- What? I'm not.
- Uh. Yes, you are.
- Shit.
- Oh, my God.
This isn't even a good prank.
Really, dude?
Guys, seriously,
I think I dropped my phone.
Okay, I see. [chuckles]
I see what's going on here.
You guys are trying to prank me.
It's not gonna work.
You know why?
- Because I'm going to answer.
- [cell phone clicks]
Uh. Hello?
You have seven days to live,
Tramer, seven days.
[Hawthorne] You have less if you
don't shut the fuck up,
you goddamn pecker head.
I think it's...
I think this is for you.
[Hawthorne] You have no idea
what kind of a fucking mess
you made tonight.
Now you all have to listen.
If you even know how to do that?
[Isaac]
Fuck you, you sick freak.
You listen to us.
We know what's in your bag.
[Hawthorne] That bag is nothing
compared to what'll happen
if you don't bring it back.
- Immediately!
- [Tramer] No way, man.
We're calling the cops
on your animal abusing ass.
Please do. Save me a phone call.
I look forward to sharing
what you've been up to tonight.
You could easily do a few months
jail time for this.
Isn't that right, Ms. Wes?
Yeah, well, you're looking
at way more than that, pal.
Oh, I'd be lucky
to have that much time.
Now, look,
we're all in trouble here.
Bring back the sack
and maybe we can stop
whatever's going to happen.
Guys, I need to get
my phone back.
Your cars out front. Let's get
this the fuck over with.
I can't leave.
You should be here by now!
Move it!
[Isaac] Tim, please.
[Linda coughing]
Come on! Just give us a ride.
Okay, fine. Just keep it down
until we go.
Oh, my God, dude.
Bag that bitch up. Let's go.
- You can fuck right off.
- Shut up!
[coughing]
[Tramer]
Will you help me with this?
Yup.
What is this thing?
[Isaac] Oh, no, it's face,
that's a face, that's a face.
[Aos Si screams]
- [shotgun blast]
- [Tim] Okay, here we are.
What the hell is that?
Looks like someone else
pranked him.
[PJ] Yeah.
[Tim]
Guys, that's the same symbol
that's been all over
the news tonight.
[Nate] Nobody cares, dude,
just go out and get your phone
already, okay?
I'm not going in the house
by myself.
Uh. Um. It's your phone.
So it's your problem.
Here, I'll open the
door for you.
- There ya go. Go on, buddy.
- God dammit, Nate.
Will you stop
being a stupid fucking dick
for once in your life?
You're the reason why
we're all here.
You should be
getting the phone yourself.
So get your punk ass, out there.
What did you say?
Oh, you heard me. Tell you what.
I'll go with you too,
just to prove how much of a man
you're not.
Okay.
- [Isaac chuckling]
- [chuckles]
Come on, Isaac.
You're coming too.
- But Babe?
- Don't give me that babe shit.
If you ever wanna see
any of this ever again,
I suggest
that you get the fuck out.
Great. Just great.
My girlfriend's
holding her pussy hostage
and now someone's
grandpa's gonna kill me.
- [Tramer] Now what?
- [Nate] Where is he?
What is that?
[eerie music playing]
[Nate gasps]
Is... is that blood?
I don't know,
but someone just knock already.
Move.
[Tramer]
So whose going in first?
Hello?
[coughs]
[music concludes]
Hello?
Mr. Hawthorne?
[Nate]
Yo, dude. Is that your phone?
Right here.
- [chuckles]
- You're such a dick.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
It was pretty funny.
- It's a little funny.
- It's not funny.
Where the fuck is this guy?
He's probably finding
some road kill to fuck.
Jesus.
[ominous music playing]
[typewriter keys clacking]
- [music concludes]
- [typewriter sliding]
- [glass breaking]
- [grunts]
[indistinct chatter]
- [Nate] Fuck, dude.
- Isaac, stop touching shit.
- It's fine.
- [breathes deeply]
Guys,
will someone call my phone,
- please, so we can find it?
- Yes. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm doing it now.
- [Tramer] Jesus.
- [cell phone dialing]
- [door creaking]
- [eerie music playing]
[cell phone dialing]
[Tramer] Wait, wait,
just listen.
[cell phone dialing]
- [Nate] Jesus Christ.
- Go figure.
Of course,
it's in the fucking basement.
[eerie music continues]
[PJ] Shit.
Is there a light?
[PJ] Of course
there's no fucking light
you idiot.
[Tramer] Guys, watch your step.
- [Nate] Oh. Oh, God.
- [Tramer chuckles]
[eerie music continues]
Shit, there's somebody dead
dog down here. That sucks.
[unsettling music playing]
"Aos Si?"
Isaac! I thought I told you
to stop touching shit.
I'm sorry.
Guys, come on. Please focus.
- Call my phone again.
- [PJ] Okay.
I'm calling it,
I'm calling it, I'm calling it.
[cell phone dialing]
[cell phone vibrating]
Oh, shit.
- [Isaac] Oh...
- [cell phone vibrating]
You go first.
[Nate murmuring]
- [PJ sighs]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- God. What is this?
- Oh, gross. It stinks.
- [cell phone vibrating]
- [Nate] Fuck.
[door handle clangs]
- [Nate groans] Someone's puked.
- [cell phone vibrating]
- What the fuck is that?
- [Isaac coughing]
[cell phone vibrating]
[music darkens]
Oh! [grunts]
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Oh, fuck! Fuck!
[cell phone vibrates]
- [indistinct clamoring]
- [Isaac] Guys, wait!
[indistinct clamoring]
[PJ] Come on Isaac. Let's go!
[music concludes]
[crickets chirping]
[soft rock music
playing over radio]
[chuckles softly]
It's been a long time
since we hung out
on Halloween together.
Yeah. Wasn't the last time
the year it snowed?
Yeah. One of the joys
of living in upstate New York.
You never know when you're gonna
freeze to death in October.
- [chuckles softly]
- Oh, yeah.
Last I recall,
you were wearing that
Amazon Warrior costume, right?
Yes. And it was a terrible idea.
I mean. [chuckles softly]
I kinda liked it.
- [chuckles softly]
- I mean.
Yeah, maybe for the weather,
it wasn't the best idea.
Yeah, and if I recall correctly,
some sweet guy gave me his coat,
and saved my life.
And then didn't
talk to me for three years.
- Yeah. [sighs] I've...
- [Danielle] Tim.
- Tim, I really...
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Tramer] What was that?
- Oh, my god!
[indistinct clamoring]
- They are such idiots sometimes.
- [Nate] Get in! Get in!
- Start the car. Start the car!
- Start the car! Start the car!
Yes, I got the phone.
Fucking go!
[eerie music playing]
[crickets chirping]
So am I going to report this
or are you guys?
- Uh. Report what? I don't.
- [music concludes]
I don't know what you're
talking about.
The police will find out
eventually, Nate.
Find out what, Tramer?
'Cause we were never there.
Okay?
Our fingerprints are literally
all over that place.
Okay and what do you think's
gonna happen, dude?
Huh? You think they're going
to believe us?
Uh. "Hi, officer. We went
to return this sack of dead shit"
and found
the Headless Horseman."
Wait. Guys, guys,
you really need to look this.
God damn it, Isaac, I thought
I told you to stop taking shit.
Okay. Will you shut up
for one second?
One.
- [sighs]
- [door opening]
I guess I should just go
check on her.
[Danielle] Yeah,
I think that's a good idea.
- [Nate clears throat]
- [sighs]
- [footsteps receding]
- [door closing]
"Aos Si?"
It looks like its folklore.
[crickets chirping]
Babe.
Will ya just come back inside?
It's fucking freezing.
Are you really
gonna be like this?
Fuck. You.
What? B... Babe!
I'm sorry, all right, come on.
Watch out.
[eerie music playing]
What is it?
[Tramer]
" The Aos Si come for thee
on the night of Hallows Eve."
Okay, so what does that mean?
[eerie music continues]
It says, "Every Hallows Eve,
the veil between"
the world of the living
and the dead is lifted,
"allowing Spirit's passage
into our realm."
"Entities known as the 'Aos Si'"
would disguise themselves
in costumes of their own
"creation in order to blend in
with the humans."
"Villagers of old
would protect their homes"
by leaving out
offerings of food and clothing.
"In attempt to
appease the Aos Si."
"The spirits traveled door
to door collecting these gifts"
on the last night
of the harvest,
"known as Samhain. Or as
we know it today, Halloween."
"Over time,
families grew larger,"
making it nearly impossible
to ration for the Aos Si,
"forcing the spirits
to feed on their own kind."
"Endless suffering led
the Aos Si to harvest those"
from their homes
that failed the tradition
"of appeasing
the spirits hunger."
"In blood, they'd mark
the sign of the harvest"
on villagers homes,
warning others
"to honor the tradition
or suffer the consequences."
[music concludes]
They sound like the first
trick or treaters.
Oh, cute story.
Sounds like Santa Claus to me.
More like Krampus.
Seriously, why are you being
like this?
Why?
Because somebody died tonight
and all you're doing
- is telling scary stories.
- Okay, look,
I'm just as concerned
as you are.
But you can't just go
walking off like this.
Oh, so you can go
and do dumb shit all night
and you think you can tell me
what to do?
Don't touch me.
I thought
you liked that, princess?
Shut up. I'm not a princess.
- I'm a Goddess.
- Whatever.
- [PJ chuckling]
- [kisses]
[Nate] Look.
Clearly the guy killed
someone's dog,
so they John Wick'd him.
That does not explain
the book, Nate.
Or the news reports.
People have been missing
all night.
Would you just stop it?
The guy fucking killed himself,
okay, it's as simple as that.
Now, drop it.
If you're not going to drink it,
I will.
Awesome.
- [moans]
- [Isaac kissing, moaning]
- Wait a sec.
- What?
[PJ sighing, chuckling softly]
- [smooches, moans]
- [smooches, moans]
Oh, God.
I love the way your skin feels.
Is that new moisturizer?
Shut up. You're ruining it.
[both moan]
- [smooches]
- [smooches, grunts]
[gasps] What are you doing?
I'm making us number one
on the Hub.
Oh, give me that.
How do you turn this off?
I... I thought
you said you want me
- to get more pictures of us?
- [PJ] Jesus Christ.
[unsettling music playing]
[groans] What the fuck?
- [bones cracking]
- [groans]
[grunts]
[ears ringing]
- PJ, get help.
- [pants]
Better get outta here
before you get hurt, freak.
[ears ringing]
[grunts]
[breathes shakily] Last warning.
[ears ringing]
[yells]
- [bones breaking]
- [screams]
[dramatic music playing]
[screams]
[choked screams]
- [music concludes]
- That's it. I'm calling my dad.
[keypad dialing]
- [eerie music playing]
- [Nate] What was that, hmm?
Like I said,
we are not calling anyone.
- [Danielle] Nate! No!
- [Nate] Oops.
Nate, what the fuck is wrong
with you?
- [Danielle] What?
- Oops.
- [PJ screaming]
- [tense music playing]
Let me in, let me in, let me in.
- [Danielle] What is wrong?
- [sobs, pants]
There's someone out there!
[pants]
PJ, if you and your boyfriend
are pulling a stupid prank
- it is not funny.
- This is not a fucking prank!
- [pants]
- [object pounding]
Let me guess.
That must be Isaac now?
Not bad though.
Really, not bad.
- [object pounding]
- [Nate] I'll give you some
credit though,
that was pretty good.
[Aos Si snarling]
I swear,
if you two are joking...
I'm not fucking joking. [pants]
All right, you guys gotta leave.
This isn't even funny.
Dude, Isaac, come on. Get up.
[bones cracking]
This isn't even
a good joke, dude.
[heart beating]
[PJ gasping, sobbing]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! [sobs]
[Tramer] What is that?
What is that?
[Nate] What is that?
I don't know. I don't know.
- PJ, give me your phone.
- [PJ] Okay.
- What are you doing?
- I am calling for help.
- Jesus Christ.
- [line ringing]
Hello. This is Danielle Wes.
[911 Operator] 911. Please hold.
[elevator music playing]
Are you kidding me?
This is an emergency.
[Tramer] What is... what is it?
They just put me on hold.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Wait a sec.
- [PJ] What?
It's just standing there
waiting for something.
I think
it's because of the sack.
What does that have to do
with anything?
It... it must have been
an offering.
An offering?
Would you stop reading
this god damn book?
Look here, now look out there.
This isn't a fucking story, man.
[Nate] Fuck.
It says, "The Aos Si
are easily angered."
When you took the sack,
you must've appeared
as a threat.
God damn it, Nate.
What? I'm not the one
who took the sack.
Tramer was.
What's it still want, then, huh?
I gave everything back.
[Tim] "If the Aos Si feel
easily threatened"
then they'll hunt
all that hinder
their chance of survival.
Once targeted,
the only way to stop its game
is to take the life...
"and offer the body
of a loved one."
A loved one?
Why not anyone or anything?
I don't know.
It must be a lesson.
What do you mean, a lesson?
Isaac! No! [sobs]
[Tim] "If the Aos Si
don't harvest enough to survive"
they must consume
their own, right?"
They want us to feel
their suffering.
- [PJ sobs]
- We need to go
to the police, Tim.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
If... if that thing is real
that you're reading about,
that thing's not going to let us
get to the fucking car.
No, no, no, no, no, I can't.
- [Danielle] Yes, you can.
- No, no, no, no.
We have to try.
All right, we gotta go.
Imma get my mom. Come on.
It's not after your mom.
We need to leave her.
Dude, leave her. We gotta go.
Nate, how on earth
could you say that?
- I'm not leaving her.
- We are targets. She isn't.
[Tramer] He has a point, man.
We're just putting her
in danger.
[Nate] Yeah.
Come on.
What are you gonna do with that?
It's my grandpa's lucky bat.
Let's hope it's ours too.
Yeah.
You weren't even on the team.
Give me that thing. Come on, go!
You gotta go, go, go, go!
[eerie music playing]
[intense music playing]
[screams, sobs]
[Tramer] Go, go, go. Don't look.
[Nate] Holy shit.
- [indistinct clamoring]
- [PJ sobs]
Oh, my God. [sobs]
[Tramer] Dude.
Let's go, let's go.
I can't see out the windshield.
[Nate] Oh, my God. [gasps]
Just... just floor it already.
- It won't start.
- [car engine failing]
- [eerie music playing]
- [Tim] Where is it?
- [Aos Si screams]
- [Nate] Oh, shit!
[all scream]
[indistinct screaming,
clamoring]
[Nate panting]
Wait. Wait. Where is it?
[unsettling music playing]
Looks like it's just a mask.
[screams] Oh, my hand!
Oh, god!
[Aos Si snarling]
[bone snapping]
[Nate screaming]
Be careful it's in deep.
[Tim] You need to use your legs.
- [Nate] No, no. [groans]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [music concludes]
- [groans]
- [soft music playing]
- [winces]
Can you feel it?
[groans] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's just get it out.
Just get it out.
Just get it out.
[screams] No, no, no.
No, no, no.
- Just leave it. Just leave it.
- I can't. It'll get infected.
I don't care. Just let it,
let it. Don't touch it.
Do you want it amputated?
[pants]
- No.
- Okay. Okay.
[chugs]
You know what you're doing?
- Not really.
- [pants]
My dad taught me everything
I need to know.
[groans]
[screams]
Can you still feel it?
Yeah. Yeah, it just hurts.
Okay.
- You should be fine then.
- [pants]
[intense music playing]
[Aos Si screams]
- [music concludes]
- [pants] What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
Oh, yes.
Yes, you do.
What do you mean?
You already said it, right?
[grunts]
A loved one needs to die.
Tim. Buddy, I hate
to be the one to say it but...
someone's gotta die.
[suspenseful music playing]
No one is going to die, Nate.
And we are not killing anyone.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not us.
Just Tim.
Why are you even saying this?
[Nate grunting]
Don't play dumb, Tim.
You're the only one...
who has anything...
to sacrifice.
- [Linda coughing]
- Oh.
Uh...
How long did you say
she had left, Tim?
Was it one month?
- Or two?
- Stop.
[grunts] How many times
has she had chemo, Tim?
Stop.
Do you really like seeing her
in this much pain?
Stop it.
She's not going
to get better, Tim.
It's either her...
- or all of us.
- Stop it!
[Linda coughing]
No one's got anything
to say, huh?
It's cause we know it.
And you know it.
Yeah.
So, if you don't do this...
We all...
[echoing] ...die.
[eerie music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[Aos Si snarling]
[Nate] How long did you say
she had left, Tim?
You really like seeing her
in this much pain?
How many times
has she had chemo, Tim?
She's not gonna get better, Tim.
It's either her...
or all of us.
[music concludes]
[Tim panting]
[Nate] Tim,
if you don't do this...
we all die.
[tense music playing]
[Tim breathes shakily]
[Linda] I'm so proud of you.
[Fred] Your mother and I
are really appreciative
of all the sacrifices
you've made and...
[Linda] You will always be...
my little baby.
[Fred] Proud of the man
you're becoming.
[Tim panting]
[melancholic music playing]
[Tim sniffles]
[breathes heavily]
[clock ticking]
[indistinct chatter over TV]
- [Linda] Fred. Is that you?
- [music concludes]
No mom. It's just me.
Go back to sleep.
[Linda] Good. I don't wanna
share my covers anyway.
[melancholic music playing]
[sobs]
Tim, I am so, so sorry.
I think there's another way.
Another way?
[Nate] What?
You mean you didn't do it?
- No.
- [Nate sighing]
Tim, there is no other way.
Samhain ends at midnight, right?
If we can outlast it 'til then,
we should be able
to get through this.
[scoffs]
Your mom needs to die.
My mother has been fighting
for her life every day
for the past three years.
If she can do that,
then we can do this.
We can't do that, Tim.
Look at us.
Look at my fucking leg.
Look what it did to Isaac.
It wrapped his skin
around your god damn car.
What's stopping it
from coming in here
and doing the same thing to us?
[wind whooshing]
I don't know.
Hawthorne never finished
translating the book.
The book? [chuckles]
[Nate laughing]
Oh, Tim.
You never were one to make
the tough decisions, were you?
[grunts, groans]
But I am not gonna die...
because of you... [grunts]
and your selfish ways.
What are you even talking about?
No one else has to die.
[Nate grunts]
We can get through this.
Together.
You're so naive, Tim.
The answer isn't always
fucking togetherness.
That's what gets you
fucked in the end.
What are you even talking about?
You and me.
We used to be like brothers.
- Nate, come on.
- [Nate] And in return...
I lost the one thing
that I loved the most.
Because of you.
- [screams]
- [screams]
[intense music playing]
[retches, coughs]
- [Nate grunts]
- [groans]
[wind whooshing]
- [Nate grunting]
- [breathes deeply, coughs]
[Nate yells]
- [grunts]
- [wind whooshing]
- Die already, bitch!
- [coughs]
- [grunts]
- [gasps]
[door slamming]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [screams]
[Nate]
You're killing us all, Timmy.
[laughs menacingly]
Okay, okay, okay, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
I know what you want,
I know what you want.
I know what you want. [grunts]
I can help you.
I can help you. I'll...
I'll kill for you.
[grunts]
[breathes heavily]
Look! There they are!
There they are.
[Tramer] Hey, stop!
Stop the car. Hey, stop!
You want them. Not me.
You want them, not me.
You want them...
[screams]
[snarls]
- [Tramer] Tim!
- [Aos Si screaming]
Tim, no!
[guttural rasping]
No, no, Tim. Come on.
We got to go.
We got to go. Come on.
[suspenseful music playing]
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- [music concludes]
- [stutters] Hey, everyone,
I'm your driver, Ian.
- Uh, where can I take you?
- Anywhere. Just go!
Listen, I'm still kind of
on the clock here.
I need you
to give me a destination.
[dramatic musical sting]
Are you kidding?
We need to go now.
[dramatic musical sting]
Listen man, this is only
my second day on the job.
- [dramatic musical sting]
- [Nate gagging]
I've been driving
all these drunk partiers around.
[dramatic musical sting]
And I just need you
to take it easy on me.
- [intense music playing]
- [Nate gagging]
Just go
before you end up like he did.
Fine! All right! Fine!
But I want a five-star review.
Wanna get that bonus.
- [groans] Help!
- [bones crunching]
[Aos Si screaming]
[music concludes]
[radio announcer] Good evening,
Ashville. This just in.
We're receiving breaking news
that multiple cell towers
across the county
have been unresponsive,
along with a new record
of missing persons in one day.
Eyewitness reports
are telling us
this could be the work
of a cul...
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Could you not turn off
my programs?
Could you not bleed
all over my interior?
[crickets chirping]
Look out!
- [breaks squealing]
- [cat mewling]
[gasps]
Did you just kill that cat?
No, I think they have,
uh, nine lives or something.
[tire blowing]
[warning light dinging]
Oh, man.
And I just bought those.
What, you can't stop here,
we need to keep going.
Listen,
we ain't getting anywhere
unless I go out there
and fix this tire.
Besides, my insurance doesn't
cover flats.
You've got to be
fucking kidding me.
Listen, we're only a few miles
away from where I got you,
and if you just come outside
and help me jack this thing up
we'll be out of here in no time.
Jesus Christ.
All right, come on. Let's go.

Dispatch, we've got a car

Hazards are flashing,

Yes.
You would all still be alive.

["Chasing Ghosts" playing]
Seems like yesterday
You asked me not to go
You told me
That you want me along
First you're here
Then you're gone
Can't tell what went wrong
Don't know if it's over
I just need some closure
It's possessing my mind
While you run and hide
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Searching into the dark
Just to see where you are
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Never thought
That you'd be like this
Felt my heart skip
With every kiss
Picture me
When life gets colder
You never knew
How to keep your composure
Screaming in the attic
Acting so dramatic
Girl you had me thinking
That I might be an addict
Begging me to stay
Just in case you wanna play
But you never really thought
That there might come a day
And I'm gone
Don't ask what went wrong
It's possessing my mind
While you run and hide
Am I just chasing ghosts?
Searching into the dark
Just to see where you are
Am I chasing ghosts?
Do you think
She'll call me back?
