Night Of The Harvest (2023) Movie Script

1
John?
Uh, hey, I-- I'm here.
It's unlocked, come in.
I'm just finishing up.
I'm in the kitchen.
So what do you think?
I bet you didn't believe me
when I said Halloween
was my favorite holiday.
Um, I love it,
but I'm easy to impress.
Hopefully not too easy.
Oh, uh, thanks.
This is from my private reserve.
I only break it out
for special occasions.
How, uh, special are we talking?
Well, if you were at a bar,
about $100 worth is special.
Oh, wow. Um...
Well, I guess my mom was right.
I really am a special occasion.
Halloween's tomorrow.
That's special.
You're just an occasion.
Ah, well, I'll take it.
I'm going to go
finish getting ready.
We can leave
in about ten minutes.
Cool.
Hello.
Hi!
Happy night before Halloween.
Devil's night
is finally upon us.
She might have
a bit of a hard time,
but she has you to get excited.
So, uh, do you maybe want to
move this to the bedroom?
Nope, no.
God, that was terrible.
And creepy.
This will not be
another Gina situation.
How about we just, uh,
keeping it out here?
We can throw on a movie, maybe
order some sushi?
Better. Definitely better.
Uh, okay, so,
um, this drink has me
a little tipsy, so no pop-outs.
Um...
I-- I like Halloween,
but I forgot to mention I have
a healthy amount of phobias.
Thanks again
for taking care of everything.
Remember, next year
I've got you.
I love you.
I see you've decided to match
my Halloween spirit.
I'm impressed.
John, are you lost?
John?
No. No!
Hey.
Are you hungry?
No, not really.
I found this in storage.
Therapist said I should do
something creative as an outlet.
Think a drawing would be a
good place to start.
These are good.
Mom would be proud.
I still see it, you know, more
often than I thought I would.
I tell my therapist I don't,
but I do.
365 days later,
and it's still right there.
Madison, you have to
forgive yourself.
You have to.
Come on, let's go get some food
to go with this awful vodka.
No, I just want to sit here.
-Maddie--
-I just want to
sit here for a little while,
and then I'll go get some food,
or climb into bed.
Tonight--
I know what tonight is.
Hey, uh--
I love you.
We're gonna get through this.
I promise you, after this
weekend, you'll be just fine.
Audrey, can I have...
Oh man, this is
gonna be awesome.
No, Audrey's going to love this.
The call's supposed to
come in today, so--
Look, don't stress about
the call, okay?
Whatever happens
ends up happening.
I'm not stressed. I'm good.
Right. You're cool.
You're confident.
Dude, obviously I'm lying.
Of course I'm stressed.
I'm the most stressed I've been
in my entire life.
I'm probably going to pass out
when they call me.
You're not going
to pass out, okay?
Relax. Everything's
going to be fine.
Besides, this whole call is
secondary business.
I-- I need you to be focused on
what we've got going on tonight.
Whoa, where the hell's
your costume?
I'm just going to do what I did
last year.
What were you again last year?
- You don't remember?
- Yeah, that's how shitty it was.
We were at the same party.
Together.
Changing the subject, today is
mine and Audrey's
six-month anniversary.
It's kind of a big deal, so...
I'm thinking about doing
something a little crazy.
You're not thinking of
proposing, right?
Dude, please tell me you're not
thinking of proposing
to this girl after...
No, no, no, I'm not proposing.
No. It's--
it's a lot bigger than that.
I'm going to tell her
that I love her.
I-- I can't believe that you
haven't told her
that you love her yet.
Bro, you've been dating her for
six solid months.
Every single day, you've been
seeing this girl.
Christ, how has she not
dumped you yet? I mean...
-Okay.
-First of all, explain to me how
saying I love you
is a bigger deal than proposing.
'Cause trust me, if I was
dating Audrey,
I would have said
that shit day one.
I mean, I cannot believe you
have taken this long.
Jesus, I think Halloween
has officially
taken over Christmas.
No, no way.
The Pope would never allow it.
I mean, no, look at all this.
Oh, that's disgusting.
We are Valentine's Day people.
We are definitely
Valentine's Day people.
What do you think
they've got planned for
later tonight?
I have no clue. I have no idea.
Which in itself is very
worrisome, because, you know,
I need to know at least a day
ahead of time what to expect.
Yes, babe. I know all about
your party requirement.
This is what I was thinking.
How about we go,
see what they're putting on,
and if it's a no-go,
honestly, I hope we just do
our own thing, you know?
Maybe we get a couple rom-coms,
and a movie theater popcorn.
See, this, this is why
I love you so much.
Holy shit.
Oh, my God.
Yes, yes, yes.
Riley and Jacob
gonna pick me up.
We're gonna Halloween
all day long.
Halloween.
Ween--
Yes! Oh my God, you're here.
Yes, yes. Hey, guys!
Guys!
It's Halloween.
Why are you already
in your costume, Joyce?
Um, because I want to get as
much out of today as possible.
Tomorrow's gonna be all about
Thanksgiving, and then
it's gonna be
all about Christmas.
It's gonna be all about...
Yeah, yeah, we know
the sequential order
of holidays in the United
States.
Okay, but today is my holiday,
bitches, so turn on that radio.
K-Hit is playing
Halloween music.
Hey.
I was just thinking about you.
Was it about how good
I look in this hat?
No, no, and I-- not--
not that at all, actually.
But, you, I mean,
you do-- you know, you do look
pretty-- pretty good
in that hat, though.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh.
You know, we could, uh...
we could just sit here.
Blow everybody off.
We can go inside, pass out
candy, watch a scary movie.
I mean, come on, it'd be great.
But you'd be okay with
just sitting here?
Not here. In my apartment.
So I've got these--
I've got chairs,
and I've-- I've got this thing.
It's called a couch.
I want to tell you something,
and I really hope
you don't freak out.
I also
have to tell you something,
and I hope that
you're not gonna freak out.
Okay, but I probably
should go first.
Oh, my God, you're married.
What? No.
-You're seeing somebody else?
-No.
But you want to see
somebody else.
No, I don't want
to see anybody...
I have a sister.
Oh, well, thank God.
Wait, how come you've never
brought her up before?
Right after I moved here,
someone tried to kill her.
Oh, my God.
She was stabbed, and, um,
she lost so much blood,
she, uh...
she actually died.
My little sister.
And she almost died.
Oh, Jesus, Audrey.
Is she okay, now?
No.
But she will be.
It's hard to talk about her.
Every time I think about
Madison, every time I see her,
it's... it's the first thing
I think about.
I am so fucking mad that I
wasn't able to protect her.
Her therapist said that we
should spend
some more time together, so
she's been staying with me.
I want her to come tonight,
with us.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
I just really hope that Joyce
doesn't have anything too wild
in mind.
Joyce?
Yeah, uh, yeah, no,
I'm sure you got nothing
to worry about there.
Okay, you guys,
we have to
hit up at least
two parties tonight,
maybe an extreme haunt, too.
Oh, I'm not doing anything
extreme tonight.
-Same.
- Ugh, come on.
I'm not going anywhere where
people are going to
piss and shit on me.
Okay, people piss and shit on
you now, what's the difference?
Uh, I know these people,
it's a huge difference.
- Ew.
- Why don't we just
go to a couple of parties?
That could be fun.
Whose party?
Like, is this going to be
a party in the middle
of the cemetery,
or like a house party?
Same.
Uh, Jacob, you can't
just say "same,"
when what she said
wasn't an answer.
-Come on, keep up.
-I'm-- I'm down for that,
and I know William's
down for whatever,
so whatever we decide here is
what we'll go ahead and do.
I like how you guys
are like a package,
like you're the brains
and, uh, he's the brawns.
I'm both, but, uh,
thanks for noticing.
-Mm-hmm.
-I vote for a house party,
but one with style, not like
Chad's of last year.
Oh, yeah, ew, no.
Ooh, what about, uh,
Terry's, near the university?
That is date rape central.
Hard pass on that.
What if we just ended up
throwing something at one of
our houses?
Oh my god, yes!
That's the best idea yet.
We can have it at my parents'
house in the forest.
Oh my god, I can--
I can get there early,
and I can decorate,
and I can put some stuff up,
put out some old Halloween
movies.
Oh! Oh my God,
it's gonna be perfect.
I guess that
doesn't sound horrible.
And we can all crash there
if we get too drunk.
Done. Deal. Yeah, no, no,
I'm-- I'm down for that.
-Me too.
-All right, it's settled.
My house, tonight.
I'm going to bail,
I'm going to leave early,
I'm going to go to the store,
get a couple of supplies,
go to my parents' house,
get a couple of party favors.
Uh, hey crazy, don't forget
we drove you here.
Oh, that's okay,
I'll just get a rideshare.
Since it's going to be just us,
do we need a costume?
Um, fuck yeah
you have to wear a costume.
Just because we're
not going out,
doesn't mean you
don't have to bring your A game.
Well great,
I don't have a costume.
Well then for you,
it'll be a toga party.
But it's going to be really
cool tonight,
and your one article of clothing
is going to be a sheet.
So, you're smart, I think you
can do the math,
and you'll make the right
decision.
I'll text you guys the address.
Okay? Love you! Kisses! Bye!
Well, we just made her night.
Yeah, but if there's anybody
in the world that I trust
to throw a last-minute
Halloween party,
it's Joyce.
Same.
So, um... how do you know
this place?
My sister talked about it.
Says she comes here to unwind.
I've only been here a couple of
times, and I usually get bored
pretty quick, but...
Bored?
I don't think I could ever be
bored in a place like this.
Maybe I just...
like being with you?
And that makes
everything else... less boring.
Hey, you...
you have to tell me
when you're gonna do that.
So then I can fix myself.
Come on. You look great.
That's a dangerous game
to be playing.
Lighter in a cornfield?
When my mom died,
my dad took off.
A lot.
One night, he came home, drunk.
He was crying.
He was saying that
he let me down.
And he's sorry...
And he gave me this lighter.
And he said, if you're ever in
a dark place, a place where
there is no light, open this.
And when I did that,
I could make any place my place.
My place where I didn't think
about my mom.
My dad.
Just be.
If that makes any sense.
Yeah. Yeah, it does.
See, that wasn't boring at all.
It was definitely
less boring than usual.
You know what else isn't boring?
Is this coffee place I know,
that we can go to down the road.
Ah, coffee.
I only drink coffee
in the morning.
Yeah, gross.
Uh, fuck coffee. Um...
What I meant to say was...
Pizza.
Pizza. What? Who said that?
Uh, what I-- what I really
meant to say, uh was...
I just really want to keep
seeing you, is all.
What is that?
That wasn't there
when we walked by earlier.
Did we come this way?
Yeah, I'm sure of it.
Uh...
Let's keep going.
Just-- I got a weird feeling,
is all.
The car's just around the bend--
-It's good.
-What?
Your, uh, your drawing.
It's good.
It's a little dark and creepy,
but it's really good.
Not that I asked.
But thanks.
Hey, could I, uh,
get your opinion on something?
If you had to choose
between these two.
You kind of seem like you have
an eye for this kind of thing.
Uh-huh, classic, nice.
I'll take your word for it.
Got, uh-- got any other stuff
in there?
Nothing I'd like to share.
No, I-- I-- think
it's super cool.
You know, drawing?
I can barely draw
a stick figure.
If I'm being honest,
I, uh, I'm just
hanging out, waiting for a call.
Uh, a little nervous,
but I figure
if it's a good call,
I could drink.
And if it's a bad call,
I could drink more. You know?
Hey, I-- I don't
mean to be rude,
but I kind of just, you know,
want to be alone.
Yeah, for sure. Sorry.
I'm sure a girl
on Halloween, stuff...
Creepers come out, right?
You're at a bar, and you're
just trying to
hang out and be alone.
And some guy just rolls up and
he just starts talking to you.
And he won't stop talking,
he won't shut up.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, I'm the creepy guy.
Look, I am-- I am so sorry. I...
I'm actually, like, super
normal, like boringly normal.
Like, I honestly just
came up here
because I figured I'd have a
better shot at getting a drink.
And if my phone rings, I can
hear it when I need the--
I really don't care.
I just want to sit here alone.
Is that possible?
Absolutely. Um... yeah, sorry.
Sorry.
It's just Halloween and all.
When people start talking,
you don't know
what you're going to get. I--
I just want to drink.
Cheers to that.
So are you, like, an artist?
I wish.
Maybe. Someday.
This month always
gets me inspired.
What's that saying? Um...
Idle hands are the devil's work.
Or something.
Or something.
You know, I'm sure the devil
will forgive you
for taking a day off.
Somehow, I don't think the devil
cares what I want.
Uh...
Stay safe tonight.
You too.
Yeah, this is William.
Yes, I know who this is.
Gross.
Hi, Momsy. Hi, Daddy.
Just want to let you guys know
that I am here at the cabin.
And I might be throwing a
teensy-weensy, itty-bitty
little Halloween party.
Okay, don't be mad.
You know you love me.
And in return, I promise to
pretend to be happy
about Christmas.
Okay, I love you.
Kisses. Thank you. Bye.
Mom?
Dad?
Okay, s--
Okay, good.
Oh, come on, you guys.
All this stuff for Christmas?
Ooh, what do we
have here?
Yes!
Oh, I love you. Ah!
I was beginning to think
I was adopted.
Good, okay... oh.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Oh! I love you.
Yes, I--
Ah! Perfect, okay.
Everybody, in the box.
Okay, I'm--
Oh my gosh.
We cannot leave
you behind!
Oh! God.
Oh my God, we're twins.
Oh.
Wh-- oh! Fuck.
Okay.
Oh, the--
Oh, okay. Fuck.
Here.
This is the good shit.
None of that once-distilled
trash that you've been drinking.
My big sister.
Always taking care of me.
Have you thought about what you
want to do tonight?
Yeah?
There's no pressure.
You know that, right?
What do you think Mom would say?
After what happened?
I think...
She'd kill me.
Yeah.
For sure, I'd be dead right now.
Mom would say that you
did nothing wrong.
She always had that saying.
It's a lot easier
to do something...
"...when you don't
have a choice."
-She loved saying that.
-Mm-hmm.
She was right.
And she knew it.
I can do tonight alone.
If you're not up for it.
I really don't want you to do
something that
you're not ready for.
Do you think... maybe...
I could crash your celebration?
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Are you sure?
-Okay.
Because I could totally take
care--
No, it's...
I just want to
take it easy, though.
Not like how you used to do
with Hanna.
Remember, this is only, like,
my third real celebration.
And it's always been with the
two of you.
Well, I am sure that tonight
will be a fun...
Easy night!
But we need to get you
a costume.
Okay, so I have an idea alread--
No, nope.
I was hoping that you'd be up
for it, so...
I got you something.
Audrey, I swear, if it's
one of those
frilly princess costumes...
-I'm not going.
-I promise you.
It's no princess.
This is not what I was promised.
I don't think this is
Joyce's parents' house.
Can you, uh, text Joyce and see
where she
actually lives, please?
Hey, you think there's, like,
an entrance back there?
-Like a door or something?
-I have no idea, babe.
Hey! Hey! What the fuck?
Can we leave before we get
fucking murdered?
Knowing Joyce, this is her idea
of a good time.
I mean, maybe...
What if she's down there
waiting for us?
Can we just go?
I can text Joyce from the road
and just tell her that...
Jeez, what a dump!
Oh shit, did I scare you guys?
-Yes.
-Good!
It is Sauin, after all.
No, it's Halloween.
But I have news.
I have brought a guest
for tonight's shenanigans.
Please welcome... Madison Clark.
AKA my sister.
Oh.
I didn't even know
you had a sister.
Y-yeah, how is this the first
time we're hearing about this?
I see we aren't as close as you
led me to believe.
Guys, see?
Isn't it nice that I bring new
people to mix up our crowd?
But be nice to her.
-Mmm.
-Okay, okay.
I'm gonna go get the rest of my
costume from the car.
Cool.
Question.
Do we even know if we're in the
right spot?
I mean, Joyce could've gotten
something mixed up, and...
Joyce?
"I can see you losers
in the parking lot.
"Come on in." That bitch.
It's like
she heard you.
Well, I hope she heard me!
I was promised a cozy cabin
in the woods,
not a warehouse in the murder
part of the city.
Oh!
Shall we?
Okay. Wow.
Uh, yeah.
Leave it to Joyce to put
something like this together
in a couple of hours.
This is fantastic!
"Hey, guys.
Hope you like my spot.
"Somehow I knew we would need a
place to celebrate,
"so I rented it." Ugh!
Why are you so rich, Joyce?
"I snuck you some of my parents'
private reserve.
"It's a hundred dollars a shot.
"I'll see you guys soon."
What the fuck, is she not here?
"Also, don't think about
checking your phones
"for another party.
Put them on the table."
Smells like rubbing alcohol
mixed with metal and leather.
Great, so, like, most of the
parties I went to in college.
Good alcohol smells strong.
That's because it's not
for bitches.
Oh, shit.
Um, I meant not for bitches.
As in weak.
Like, you can't drink too much,
or hold your liquor.
Nothing like a female sense.
No, no, no, no. Especially,
especially not you three.
No, no. You three?
Definitely not bitches.
Well, are we gonna put our
phones on the table or no?
It's fine.
We're Joyce's friends.
Even if she takes things a
little too far.
To celebrations and traditions.
Wait, shouldn't-- shouldn't
we wait for Dane and Will?
Oh, no. Knowing Dane, he'll take
it as a challenge to catch up.
-Oh!
-Oh, shoot.
Mmm!
- Sorry.
- Oh, it's okay.
Well, that's 200 bucks.
Ah, it's not like
there's not more alcohol.
Plus, what the fuck?
You have a sister.
Can we get back to that?
I'm sorry. In my defense,
I was respecting her privacy.
Well, Riley is about to
disrespect all of that privacy.
Eh, he's right. Um, how long
will you be staying with us?
And also, do you need us
to find you a date for
Valentine's Day?
Uh, that's
like four months away.
It's never too late to start.
Okay, all right. Uh...
You wanna know
something about Madison?
She's a great storyteller.
Maddy, tell us a scary story.
Thanks. Should I
do a dance, too?
Oh, God, no.
That is much too terrifying
for everyone here.
Come on, just stick to
the story for now.
All right.
All right, but first...
for safety.
Yes, for safety.
Because a jack-o'-lantern
on Halloween night
is very important for safety.
Last year, on this very night,
a couple, very smitten
with each other,
snuck into a cornfield.
What they didn't know was that
someone else was watching them.
Someone wearing a horrible
scarecrow mask,
to hide their hideous face.
Ugh, rude.
That person was watching
the couple's every move.
Go! No, go. Ah.
Just--
The girl holds the boy, the boy
she-- she thought she made love.
The scarecrow looks at her,
and then, it happens.
What happens?
Uh, it's up to you.
My God, that was brilliant.
She does have a knack
for the dramatic.
Hey, babe, you okay?
Are you?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Ja-- Jacob!
Jake!
Fuck, help!
Oh, my God!
He's not going to
be able to move for a while.
That shot he took?
It's actually a paralytic.
I'm guessing you must have
tossed yours?
The recipe's been in our family
for generations.
You can feel everything.
Doesn't last very long, but,
man, it's a doozy.
Help me! Help me!
No one is coming.
No one is going to help you.
Uh, Joyce! Joyce!
Joyce, help me!
You gonna be all right?
Yeah.
I know what you're thinking.
Why you?
Why her?
I want you to know that
I hate doing this.
The screaming,
the s-smell of blood.
But we have to.
There's an evil here.
Right here in this very room.
It follows me and my sisters
wherever we go, like...
a shadow.
Like a second skin.
And on Sauin, it demands
an offering from us.
It's okay. It's okay.
We have to hurry.
I'm sorry.
I have to.
Madison!
-Madis--
-I gotta take it out.
I can't-- I gotta--
I gotta take it out.
-I gotta take it out.
-No. No, wait! No--
Fuck.
Okay, we have to
stop the bleeding.
Ow!
Put pressure on this.
Hold it. Here, listen.
We've already called the
police. They're on their way.
An ambulance is gonna be here
in, like, five minutes.
Remember the plan.
You're gonna be okay, Maddie.
I promise.
Right.
We are bound to the harvest.
Just like my mother...
and her mother.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
Why are we at a bar pre-gaming
right now?
All right?
It's fucking Halloween.
Dude, all the noise and the
people at a bar,
you don't want to deal with all
that.
No, I do. Oh, I do.
It's-- it's Halloween.
Dude, we're going
to a party tonight.
You'll be fine if we don't go
to a bar before the party.
Yeah, but it's Halloween!
No way! Is it fucking Halloween?
I had no idea!
Hey, did you hear?
It's Halloween. You're not even
wearing a costume.
All right.
It's not like we can go
anywhere anyway.
I'm still waiting on Joyce
to send me
a fucking text message, so...
What?
Nothing.
Holy shit.
You got a call, didn't you?
Well, tell me. What'd they say?
I got it.
-You got it?
-Fuck yeah, I did.
Fuck yeah, you did.
Here. Here, put this on.
You're like
the king of jobs today.
I'm not wearing your stupid
crown. It looks ridiculous.
Beautiful, man!
See, he got it! He got it!
It's fucking
amazing, man! Goddamn!
Okay, so what--
Tell me about the timeline.
What-- what's going on?
Are you, uh-- uh...
When-- when you flying the coop,
because truth be told,
I've had my eye on
your espresso machine and
microwave for quite a while now,
so, like, I want to make sure
I can steal that shit
before you pack it up.
I...
said that I'd get back to them
in a couple of days, and they...
Um, stop, stop. What?
Why the hell would you say that?
You have been obsessed and
consumed with this
for the last two years.
This has been your life.
Remember that anxiety attack
you had at the library,
and I had--
You had to leave the Kappa
Gamma party, even though
you were with Lola McGrady.
Yes, I remember.
You bring it up every single
St. Paddy's Day.
You remember how hot she was?
You still came and took me to
the hospital anyway,
and you didn't have to do that.
Campus health was
already on its way.
And last Christmas, you
remember when my plane
was stuck on the tarmac,
and didn't even
end up taking off,
and I was gonna have to spend
the night in the terminal?
What are best friends for?
Oh, so we're best friends.
I'm your best friend.
You know, I've got--
I've got, like, other
best friends, like three or four
of them waiting in the wings.
You're just kind of, like,
watching in the--
the background, so...
With this new job, I'm gonna be
making good money.
Real good money.
Is this you, like, gloating,
or... because I'm-- I'm usually
the one who likes to gloat.
I want you to come with me.
-To New York?
-Yeah.
I mean, you're the closest
thing I have to a brother,
and maybe it's selfish, but...
I don't have anybody
other than you.
And I want you there, man. I do.
I want my success to be
our success.
And, you know, it'd be a shame
to break up the band this late
into the game.
Dude, I-- I can barely afford
a one-bedroom apartment
out of here.
Let alone fucking New York.
Yeah, I know.
You can stay with me.
The agency that hired me said
that they would put me up
in a two-bedroom,
and I told them I would
need a three-bedroom
to even consider it.
Look at you sitting at
the boardroom table,
already making demands. Attaboy!
Yeah, but...
what about Audrey?
Why do you think I asked
for a three-bedroom?
You son of a bitch.
You are going
to fit in perfectly.
And so are you.
Oh, oh, hang on.
Phone vibrate...
Yep, okay, text from Joyce.
"Okay, guys,
come on down. Showtime."
Um, hi, fellas.
Uh, this is on the house.
I just want
to say congratulations.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
Yeah, I think
it's a really great idea
to get out of this place.
So how long
have you two been dating?
-We're not.
-Three years.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm not
going to eat this piece.
It's got mold on it, so it's--
here. It's all yours.
This doesn't look like
the hills or the mountains.
Yep, and this is why
I bring you places with me,
so you can just tell me shit
that I'm already aware of.
Is that fucking sarcasm?
Excuse me, but can you, uh,
tell me where the gym is?
Is it, uh, ooh, this way,
or is it, uh, oh, that way?
Why are you
wearing a crown?
What, what is this?
I am the homecoming king,
obviously.
Obviously.
Yo, Audrey.
Are you sure
we're in the right spot?
According to Joyce.
This does seem
right up Joyce's alley, so...
Oh, I heard you were
bringing a guest.
Oh, yeah.
Creepy guy from the bar?
-Ouch.
-Uh, hold up, I'm confused.
You two know each other?
-Yeah.
-No.
Uh, no.
-Uh, kinda?
-Kinda.
Dude, what the fuck,
you went to the bar without me?
Dude, I'm sorry,
I'm trying to do this--
Uh, text from Joyce.
Uh, "Come in, losers."
Shall we go?
Shit.
William!
Let's go, I'm freezing my
fucking nipples off out here.
Come on.
Dude, holy shit.
Right? You just literally took
the words out of my mouth.
Holy fuck, Joyce,
this is awesome.
Oh, yeah, Great Dane likes this.
They call you Great Dane?
He calls himself that.
Hey, uh, you're not gonna talk
in the third person
all night, are you?
Maybe. I am prom king.
Thought you were
the homecoming king.
Whatever the fuck kind of king
I am, I'm-- I'm still king.
So what, Joyce was planning
a party this whole time?
Yeah. Yeah, she must have been
planning it for weeks.
How? I thought we just decided
this, like, a couple hours ago.
Any word on Jake and Riley?
Yeah, um,
Jacob texted me.
He said that they're gonna
be a little late,
'cause Riley
had a costume snafu.
I'd be shocked if they show up
at all.
They can't stand Halloween.
That's good enough reason for
us to go on without 'em.
No sketch pad?
No, I left it at home so that
some guy
doesn't ask me about it.
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.
Mmm, I like your costume.
Yeah, thanks.
I got some good advice
on it earlier.
Did you ever get
that phone call?
Happy drinking tonight.
Yo, what's going on with
Riley and Jacob?
I mean, where the hell's Joyce?
She's lurking
around here somewhere.
After last year?
What happened last year?
Oh, we don't talk about
last year.
Last night, there was a murder.
A gruesome murder where two
people were skinned
and dismembered.
Their remains were used for
an ancient sacrifice,
to an evil
that time had forgotten.
Hey, no more
ghost stories, okay?
You're gonna give William
over here nightmares.
Hey, no, fuck it.
He's-- he's lying.
I'm not, I'm not. Look, I-- I
got-- I got the video, actually.
-Right here with my phone.
-Oh, no phones tonight.
I'm so tired of people not
living in the moment. William?
I left my phone at home,
so that if they call back,
I can just
tell them I didn't get it.
Smart.
What if we cruise around?
Joyce probably has some more of
these rooms set up.
Could be spooky fun.
Now, how can a guy turn down
that offer?
Sounds spooky dangerous to me.
Not to mention,
tetanus-infested.
Maybe we wait here
for the others?
Besides, I could use a drink.
Uh, happy drinking, right?
Um... this looks fancy.
Anyone interested?
We can eat and drink and watch
a movie anytime.
Come on, let's do this.
Hey, Dane the Great.
My sister was studying
to be a doctor,
so she's pretty fucking smart.
I'd listen to her about
needing a drink.
Why don't we just let Maddie
and William do their own thing,
and we can go do our own thing?
Besides, it's Halloween.
Isn't it kind of your guys' jobs
to make sure that a girl
doesn't drink alone tonight?
True, but there might be a
bigger bar in there.
And if Joyce set all this up
out here,
then there might be something
better in there.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Really?
I-- look, if he's wrong,
we'll figure it out pretty quick
and be back here
before the beer gets warm.
Ah!
All right.
Well, Audrey and I will go...
-This way.
-This way.
You two can go that way.
Okay. See you guys in a few.
It's fucking cold up here.
Yeah. I mean, I thought
it would be romantic.
Yeah, I got something that
might warm you up.
Yeah, okay.
If you even try to touch me
with those cold ass hands,
I'll cut your balls off.
Okay.
No, really. Try me, I will.
Whoa, whoa. Easy. Easy there.
All right? I'm going to need
a little something
to drown my sorrows if I don't
get any action out here.
Well, the best way to get some
action up here
is to keep feeding me this.
It makes me happy.
Well, I might know of a way to
make it a little more perfect.
Nice try.
But no, seriously.
Hanging out with you is, um--
it's really good for me.
Good for you?
No, that's not
what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Or maybe you don't. And, uh...
Ever since I met you,
I've been really happy.
The happiest I've been
in a while.
And, um...
I wanted
to tell you that, um, I...
The hell was that?
Joyce, probably?
Or, I don't know,
William and Madison, maybe?
Yeah.
Hey, it's fine.
Joyce is probably
just fucking with us.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm fucking stupid.
You're not stupid,
you're just...
feeling a little of the evil
in there.
What?
It's All Hallow's Eve.
Evil is everywhere.
But don't worry.
I've got you.
Whoa.
Joyce must have spent some
serious time on this.
This is wild.
Uh, you know...
Some people say that Halloween
is about disguising yourself.
So when the spirits come over
from their side to ours,
we're safe.
And you already knew that.
Yeah.
That's not what Halloween
was originally for.
-No?
-No.
The festival of Sauin was...
much darker.
It was a time to offer
something to the spirits.
Food, trinkets, something.
But the old spirits grew
tired of this.
They began to covet more
than people's scraps.
So, people began sacrificing
animals, family members,
even children,
to appease the spirits.
Sometimes even
that wasn't enough.
Occasionally, the spirits would
choose a bloodline.
And that bloodline
must make an offering.
An offering?
Mm-hmm.
And the only kind of offering
the spirits wanted
was that of human flesh.
Bone.
Tendon.
Heart.
Brain.
Lungs.
All the things that make up
a living person.
Every year, on a single day,
an offering must be made.
The last day, in the tenth
month of the year,
the harvest occurs.
But what if there is no harvest,
or they don't make an offering?
Pain.
Suffering.
Death.
What makes
this bloodline so special?
Nothing.
That's why they're chosen.
Or something like that.
You're good.
You are really good.
I don't even believe
in curses, but you sold
the shit out of that.
Even if it's not true.
That's the thing
about the truth,
it doesn't matter if
you believe it or not.
Hey Joyce, I found you!
-What-- what's happening?
-I...
I just saw Joyce.
Yo! I love what you've
done with the place!
No, no, I'm
sure you didn't see her.
Well, I don't see her now,
but she's probably hiding.
You don't know Joyce, she loves
scaring the shit out of people.
I mean, look at this place!
Yeah.
Hey, if you said you saw her,
let's-- let's go and find her.
Cool.
Joyce?
What the fuck?
That's too far, Joyce. That's...
Hey, did you ever meet...
Joyce?
Uh, she loves this shit.
I actually saw her outside
when we first got here,
and, uh, I think she's just
-trying to freak us out.
-What?
Yeah, she, uh...
She did this thing
last year, where she scared me,
and then put it on the internet.
No, you-- you said
you saw someone outside
the building when-- when
we were all together.
Yeah, I didn't want to
say anything because I
kind of wanted to see what
she would do when she scared us.
You're sure?
You're sure you
saw someone else?
Yeah, pretty sure. I...
Why would anyone else be here?
Joyce, what the fuck?
It's Madison!
Audrey's--
Well...
Wait, stop, stop.
What the fuck are these?
Oh, shit.
Okay, all right, all right,
don't panic, don't panic.
Uh, it's probably
a breaker or something.
I-- I can find it with this.
Just give me one second,
and we'll just go ahead--
Audrey?
Audrey!
Jesus, Audrey.
Hey, you all right?
Okay. This is a little much.
Why don't we keep moving?
I want to show you something.
What?
It's beautiful, isn't it?
It's not exactly the word
I would use to describe this.
Audrey, Joyce propped
this up so we'd maybe
find it and be scared, and--
I gotta be honest,
she's doing a hell of a job.
And I'm assuming you've
been in on it the whole time
since this
mask has been up here.
The spirits are envious.
They demand things.
So we have to give
them what they want.
Or they will punish us.
See?
Oh my god.
Audrey...
Wh-- Why-- Why?
I'm so very sorry, Dane.
You were
everything I could ever want.
You really were.
I love you.
Why are you doing this?
Please, stop.
Please, stop.
I know.
I know you do.
You're a good guy, Dane.
I'm sorry, this is
just something I have to do.
My life.
Madison's life.
Hanna's life.
My sisters are
the most important thing to me
in this entire world,
and their lives
depend on the offering.
And...
I like doing it.
I do. I like it so much.
You've given
me something that makes me
feel more
alive than anything else.
And William is going
to do the same for Madison.
Oh... It's okay.
Just let go.
Oh, shi--
Oh, William, run! Run, man, run!
Get out of here!
You're not going anywhere.
I need parts of you.
Hanna, love what
you've done with the place.
No! No! No!
Oh, no...
Maddie...
Maddie, something's
happened to Hanna.
Are you done with William?
We need to start the ceremony.
Maddie, can you hear me?
We need to
start the ceremony now.
It's
too late, Audrey.
Hello?
Audrey...
Audrey!
Where are you?
Audrey, where-- where are you?
Audrey, please.
We need to go!
Madison!
No. No!
No!
Where's Madison?
Audrey? What happened?
Where's Dane?
I need to find Madison.
Where is she?
So-- Something happened.
Someone's in here with us.
-William, where is my sister?
-We were attacked!
Some freak show in a
scarecrow mask attacked us!
What?
You were right there!
No, a scarecrow mask...
Are you sure?
Yes.
Where... Where's Dane?
Was he who...
Is that your blood?
No.
Uh, Dane and I were attacked
by the same person in the mask.
We fought him off.
Uh, we found this in
one of the other rooms.
Where is he?
Why isn't he with you?
He-- He hurt his leg.
I left him a few rooms back.
William, I need to find Madison.
I need to make sure he's okay.
William, he's
not going anywhere!
He told me to tell
you that he's fine and
that he wants you to help me.
I need you. Madison needs you.
There's someone in
here trying to kill us!
Let's go! Now!
Madison!
I need to find Dane.
Oh, Maddie.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
Get your hands up, now!
What's your name?
Audrey.
Audrey, did you do this?
What?
Did you do this?
She-- she's my sister.
She's my little sister.
7 Mary 3.
I need medical, fire
and ambulance to my location.
At least one
dead and one in shock.
Let's move you over
here until paramedics arrive.
No...
Dispatch, I need
medical here ASAP.
She's my sister.
She's my little sister.
Dispatch, you let me
know when those units are close.
I'm going to stay on
site and wait for backup.
It's okay.
It's all right.
It's all right. Here, here.
Hey, drink this.
You're going into shock.
You need water, or your body
will start shutting down.
Jesus Christ.
What happened here?
Was it painful when
you saw your sister,
cut in half like that?
Part of her on one side
and part of her on the other?
I...
Am I being insensitive?
I'm sorry.
Actually, I don't
know why I keep saying that.
I tried really hard to hurt her.
I want to look you in the face,
but I get so
fucking mad when I do.
The radio doesn't work.
It's just for show.
And the uniform?
Just a costume.
It's all fake.
Just like you and your sisters.
You don't know who I am.
And why would you?
How many families have
you and your sisters destroyed?
Hm? Do you know?
Probably lost count.
Hanna kept hers in
a nearly identical container.
I had to dilute it with
water, so you'd drink it.
This stuff smells like shit.
This is David.
I grieved over the loss
of my son for a long time.
Didn't sleep,
didn't eat, barely talked.
I thought about killing myself.
I sat for a long
time with a bottle of whiskey
and a loaded .45 on my lap.
I was so mad they hadn't
found out who murdered my son.
All I could think
about is the person who killed
him was out there.
Turns out,
David had a girlfriend.
He never talked
about your sister.
Never even showed
me a picture of her.
No pictures, no videos.
No record.
Smart.
You probably thought, when you
took his phone from his body,
that the pictures
disappeared with him.
But he sent the photos
from his phone to his computer.
Bitches probably
didn't think of that.
Dane! Dane!
We gotta get out of here, man.
Something happened
with Madison and...
Fuck.
I didn't go
to the police because...
Because this is what I wanted.
I want to do this for my son!
I wanted you to
know that you failed
your sisters
the same way I failed my son!
That's why I saved you for last.
I wanted you to feel the sudden
loss of seeing Hanna.
I wanted you to
feel the hopelessness
when you found Madison.
I wanted you to
see your sisters chopped
into pieces the same
way you did to my son!
I want you to
have this on for what's next.
And now,
I want you to feel
your skin melting off your body.
screaming]
You added too much water.
I didn't kill your fucking son.
He cried, and he whimpered,
and I cut his fucking head off.
And now, I'm gonna kill you.
You motherfucker,
you killed my sisters!
Did you find him?
You said he was okay.
I said he wasn't going anywhere.
Did you kill him?
Yes.
Why?
It's just
something we have to do.
He loved you.
Did you know that?
They always fall in love
with me.
It makes this easier.
He was my best friend.
Did you kill Joyce too?
And Riley. And Jacob.
And a lot more people
that you have no idea about.
I should have let
him kill your sister.
Probably.
I don't expect
you to understand.
And I just lost my
two fucking sisters.
So I'm gonna take this axe,
and I'm gonna cut
your fucking head off.
114 West Devonshire.
Building 3.
I found it next to Dane's body.
The police
are already on their way.
And they're gonna find you.
With that mask...
And this axe.
The harvest is eternal.
No! No-- No!
No!
