Summerween (2026) Movie Script
1
This feels like
a really dumb idea.
I've seen this too many times.
Come on!
We'll be Summerween legends.
All right, five minutes.
Okay, that...
Dang it, Megan.
[grumbles]
Megan!
[thudding]
[music box plays]
Boo!
Oh, Megan, gosh.
You know, he
painted my face once.
When I was like eight.
The clown guy?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I heard he freaked out
during a performance
last Summerween and left town.
No one knows where he's been.
I don't know.
But he was super
into being a clown.
He didn't break character.
Never stopped smiling.
Not even once.
Oh, come on.
You have to see this.
Come on.
Isn't this hilarious?
Wow.
This guy was really
into being a clown.
Yeah. So funny.
Now, can we go?
Come on.
[squeaks]
Don't do that. Come on.
-[squeaks]
-Stop.
Something in here is...
Come on.
[squeaks]
I told you not to do that!
I didn't do that.
What?
[shouting]
Jeff!
[groaning]
Megan!
[Jeff screams]
Help, somebody, please, help me!
-911.
-Hello?
Hi. I trapped in the abandoned
house on Silver Drive.
Please...
[screams]
Hello?
Are you still there?
-Please stay on the line.
-[chuckling]
Hello?
[siren blares]
Police! Open up!
Got a call about
someone being trapped.
Stay calm, rookie.
Is anyone here?
Please respond.
[babbling voice]
[door creaks]
Help me.
Put your hands on
your head... now!
Stop!
Get on the ground!
I'm warning you.
Get on the ground,
or I will shoot!
[cackling]
Eric!
Get down!
You're under arrest.
Anything you say can and will be
used against you
in a court of law.
[cackling continues]
Eric!
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
Stay with me, buddy.
Stay with me!
Come on.
Dispatch, this is
Officer Pat Trower.
I have an officer down.
Repeat, officer down.
Play?
No, that's awesome.
All right.
Good spot.
Yoo-hoo.
Aiden, you were not joking.
This place looks perfect.
Y'all have any luck
finding decorations?
Oh, yeah. Theater department
coming in clutch.
Yeah, it's a start.
A start? I've got a skeleton
wearing sunglasses.
It doesn't get much more
Summerween than that.
Yeah, especially if this is
gonna be the party of the year.
Boom.
I don't know about you guys,
but I got a lot of stuff.
Thrift stores
were a gold mine.
And I got the booze.
I got a lot of people
to donate
their leftover graduation
party bottles.
Yeah, we're finally giving
Makayla the party she deserved.
[phone vibrates]
Shit.
I need to get this stuff
out of my car right now.
My mom needs it.
She has to go back to work.
Oh, no worries.
I got you.
I thought you said you had
a hookup on the building.
Wait.
Dude, what?
We drove all the way to
Spring Screen Preserve for this?
Dude, we're literally here.
We're setting up.
Hello?
Hello?
So?
-Good news?
-Bad news.
The place fell through.
-What?
-What?
We can't throw a party here.
I thought you said
your friend worked here.
Well, apparently he doesn't
have party-throwing power.
It's Summerween.
We have so many people coming.
Who's got a place?
Well, not me.
You can't throw a party
at Sand County Theater
and get away with it.
Makayla?
Your place?
No. My dad doesn't
even want me
going to a party tonight,
let alone throwing one.
No, she's right.
Her dad's, like, super
weird about Summerween.
Why?
He doesn't talk about it.
Nope.
I think it has something
to do with the Clown House.
The Clown House?
Aiden, no.
No, it's literally perfect.
Think about it.
I mean, it's clown-themed.
There's probably a bunch
of creepy clown stuff.
And it's abandoned, dude.
Dude, we can just sneak in,
decorate, get some booze.
Yeah, right?
It will be golden.
It is kind of perfect, Makayla.
All right.
But I have to get
home and talk to my dad
before he
goes out On patrol.
So you guys are gonna
have to set up without me.
-Yeah.
-I'll drop you off.
Well, let's get
this party moving!
Summerween! Summerween!
Summerween!
All right, we'll see
you guys there, huh?
All right.
[door opens]
Mack, just about to call you.
Sorry I'm late.
I, uh, ran into a few friends.
Lost track of time.
No plans tonight, right?
The only plan
is to sit in front of the TV,
watch a couple movies.
Alone.
Maybe with a pizza.
That's my baby girl.
You sure you're okay
to work tonight, Dad?
Huh?
Oh, yeah.
Just, uh, big night.
A lot of kids
getting in trouble.
Just... prepping.
Do you want to talk about it?
When you're older.
You've been weird
about Summerween
for as long
as I can remember.
I'm going off to
college in a few months.
The least you can
do is clue me into why.
You're right.
And I guess you deserve to know.
About ten years ago,
I was called
to the scene of a 911 call.
There was a young woman.
Megan. About your age.
She was trapped inside a house.
When we got there,
she had been very badly hurt
by a man dressed as a clown.
Killed her boyfriend.
He hurt Eric real bad.
And he did it all with
a smile on his face.
Dad, I had no idea.
I had him dead to rights.
If I had just acted faster...
If I hadn't have froze.
She died shortly after.
Eric was in the
hospital for weeks.
He's still not the same.
Not really.
Dad, you did the right thing.
Now he's locked up forever.
I know.
You're right.
I better go finish
getting ready.
Yeah.
Promise me, Mack.
You won't go out tonight.
I'm sure you've been
invited to a bunch of parties.
Dad... I'll be here.
That's my baby girl.
I'm sure if Syd
wanted to come over,
you two gals can hang out
here and have a nice night in.
Yeah, maybe.
I'll text her later.
Okay.
[car doors slamming]
You know, I hear the
dude that used to live here
loved to torture children
with his clown stuff.
You don't know that.
-Just what I heard.
-All right, come on, guys.
Focus up.
We got one hour until
people start the show.
Let's get this party started.
All right.
[laughing]
Come on in.
Get in.
Go first.
Dude, this is perfect.
Wow.
Hey.
[laughs]
Evil...
Hey, guys.
Check this out.
Bam.
All right.
Well, I guess we'll spread out.
Start setting up.
Oh, and I need this to be the
best party of the year for her.
All right?
Summerween on three.
One, two, three.
ALL: Summerween!
Oh, what's up with the knife?
You haven't heard of Pagliacci?
The opera?
What?
The singing clown who kills
his wife and lover on stage.
You guys are all so uncultured.
It's a famous opera.
Pavarotti and...
It's my costume tonight.
Canio.
And I'm excited to see it.
Just don't stab me or
my lover tonight, okay?
Wouldn't dream of it.
Oh, also, guys,
it's a stage knife.
It's not sharp,
pointy, but it's safe.
Yeah, I'm not gonna miss
living in this clown town.
I'll tell you that.
Careful with the blood.
Bro...
I am being careful.
Well, it's expensive,
so come on.
All right, all right.
Aiden!
Oh, my gosh, dude.
Quit messing around.
Just a little bit at
of time and it'll smear.
Ms. Raimer, I thought
you left for the day.
I did, but a couple
things came up
that can't wait till
Monday, so I just...
want to get them done now.
I've been so busy
with my daughter's graduation
and her move to campus.
A lot of big changes.
That her?
Yeah.
She's with her friends.
That is Aiden Ricks,
heck of an athlete.
And that's her bestie,
Makayla Trower.
She's a good egg.
Her dad's a police officer.
She's over at the
house all the time.
Well, I better keep
making my rounds.
Don't stay too long.
I will try.
That's the plan.
Time for your medicine.
Come on. I don't have time
for a puppet show.
I just need to watch
you take your pills.
Uh-uh.
No drink?
Well, that's real special.
[laughing]
[panting]
Maybe it's a spider monkey.
Ha ha ha, it's a type
of monkey, not a spider.
[phone vibrating]
Come on.
Well, I'm off.
You got everything
you need to stay in?
-You know it.
-All right.
I'll see you in the
morning, baby girl.
See you in the morning.
Jenny, a new Call of Duty
game comes out every year,
and then I forget about the
one I was so excited about.
Seriously telling me--
-Hey.
-Hey, where are you?
The party's starting.
Look, I don't know if
I can make it tonight.
My dad really
wants me to stay in.
Okay, well, your
boyfriend really
wants you to come
to this awesome party.
I just... I have to be here
when my dad gets home.
Okay, well, just come
for a few minutes and dip.
I mean, babe, you
can't just not come.
You are not my boss.
Oh, no, yeah, yeah,
yeah, you're right.
I just, uh...
I really wanted to talk to
you about a few things.
What things?
Well, you gotta
come and find out.
Okay, but just
for a little while.
Yes. All right.
All right, I'll see you soon.
Ready for a long night.
A long night of trespassing,
vandalism, and paperwork.
Eric, what are you doing?
Dave called in sick.
The Dream Team is
reuniting for one night only.
Huh?
Yeah?
And you're okay with doing this?
Tonight?
Of all nights?
I know what today is.
It gets to me, too.
Yeah, I know.
I thought it'd be easier
after a decade, but...
Man.
We got through that night.
We'll get through this one.
Come on!
Huh?
Just like the old days.
Yay!
Nice shot, nice shot. Okay.
Here you go.
All right, are you
guys ready for this?
Uh, just missed.
Just missed.
All right.
0 for 2.
Hey, man.
Where's Makayla?
Don't tell me she chickened out.
No. No, no.
She'll be here.
She said she's getting ready.
Hey, you made it.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Yeah, I'm sorry I
didn't dress up more.
I need something
to get off quickly.
-Oh, yeah?
-Not like that.
It's so when I get home,
I can
clean up quickly
before my dad sees.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
-Girl, you look incredible.
No, you.
Okay.
Okay, um, I need a drink,
and then maybe you
can give me a tour.
Show me what you've
done with the place.
Yeah, we didn't have to do much.
This place is creepy as hell,
but all worth it
so you can have a
killer Summerween.
Well, then what are
we waiting on, huh?
Let's do this!
Woo-hoo!
-Yay!
-All right.
All right, everybody,
give me your cup.
Here we go.
-All right.
-A little for you.
-More than that.
-A little for you.
A tiny bit. Tiny bit?
Too bad. Too bad.
Hey, all right,
all right, all right.
So, what is this to?
Summerween!
-Yay!
-Woo!
Oh, you're kidding me.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Oh, thank goodness.
Oh, my God.
[car chirps]
[engine starts]
[shouts]
So far, so good.
Glad to be back, man.
To an uneventful Summerween.
Amen.
All units, this is dispatch.
Please be advised, code 918a.
Escaped mental patient from
Mendota Mental
Health Institute.
Name is Lincoln Bailey,
alias The Clown.
Believed to be wearing a
Mendota Hospital uniform.
He is considered
armed and dangerous.
Protocol dictates--
If there's a 1% chance
I can catch the guy
that almost killed me.
I'm taking it.
You can go, but I'm finding him.
[engine starts]
It's good to be back.
Hey, you're not having fun.
No, I am.
No, you're not.
I'm sorry, I just...
Hey, look, every year
you're stuck inside, though.
While the rest of
us are having fun.
I just...
I just wanted to
show you a good time.
Before we all leave
and do whatever.
What do you mean?
Well, we're going to
college pretty soon.
I mean, this is like our
last full year to do stuff.
-Together.
-What about us?
Yeah. That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
I got a scholarship.
Aiden, that's amazing.
To go to Ohio State.
-Aiden, no.
-I know, I know.
-No, you and me and Syd--
-I know, I know, I know.
I should have told you.
I'm sorry.
[phone vibrates]
Um, excuse me.
Hey, Dad.
-Sorry, I...
-Are you at home?
Uh, yeah.
Did you forget your
keys or something?
No. Just, uh, maybe...
Maybe you should spend some time
at a friend's house tonight.
See if Syd's out, if she
didn't already come over.
Okay?
Dad, is something wrong?
No.
No, just, um...
You should get out of the house.
I probably won't
be back till late.
And I'm, uh...
Just making sure you're safe.
Okay. I'll...
I'll check with Syd.
Thanks, Dad.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Are you sure she's safe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't want to alarm her.
What do you want to do?
I don't give a damn
about protocol.
We gotta get to his house.
That's gotta be
where he's headed.
His whole life is there.
Mendota is in Madison.
Even if he got in
the car right away,
it would take him a full
half hour to get there.
Yeah, maybe.
He's probably
still around there.
Maybe.
But if he gets in the car,
it's where he's headed.
And it won't take him long.
Look, we're only a mile
or so away, so let's just...
Eric.
-I see.
-Yeah.
Is anyone there?
Do you need medical assistance?
Well, what do you think?
Lost control?
Swerving for a deer?
Maybe walked off to get help?
Could be.
Let's call it in.
All right.
Wait.
What?
Shit.
Looks like a smiley
face and blood.
We have to report this.
Hello!
-Hey.
-Hey.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, just...
Why didn't the skeleton
go to the party?
Noah.
Because she had
no body to go with.
[laughing]
You get it?
Yeah.
Okay, come on.
You need to relax.
Yeah. You know, we're about
to start a game of flip cup.
You guys should join us.
Yeah, um, maybe in a minute.
Okay.
Oh, and if my dad asks,
I went to your
place to watch movies.
-Okay?
-Got it. Absolutely.
Wait. Your dad checked in?
Yeah, um...
He sounded worried.
He told me to go
over to a friend's place,
to be with other people,
to be safe.
It's not like him.
Maybe we should just leave
and go someplace normal.
What? No.
Okay, you're literally
with your friends right now.
Dozens of them, actually.
I mean, this can
be a safe place?
Okay, you know what?
I'm actually done
fighting this, so...
Yes.
Okay, well, let's
get some drinks.
See you two up front
for some flip cup?
Flip cup, flip cup,
flip cup, flip cup.
Come on.
Party time!
Woo!
Let's party! Party!
Woo!
[shouting]
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Watch it, man.
You good?
Mm-hmm.
All right, then.
Just watch yourself.
Hey, you gotta get cleaned up.
No, it's fine.
I'm good.
No, you're not.
You're a mess.
Go get yourself
cleaned up, can't you?
Okay?
-Mm-hmm.
-Hi.
Um, just gotta
get to my friends.
Creep.
Hmm.
[humming]
Oh!
Jesus Christ, man!
What is your problem?
What?
Are you playing peek-a-boo
with me right now?
I'm a little adult.
Whatever.
All right.
Dude, stop!
It's not even that sharp, so
just be careful with the point.
Okay, can I please
just have my knife back?
[gags]
[balloon squeaks]
Dispatch, I got a Grey Ford
Fusion, license plate UEZ597,
believed to be owned
by Lindsay Raimer.
Daughter is a
friend of my daughter.
Can you confirm?
Confirmed.
Car is registered
to a Lindsay Raimer.
There are no
outstanding warrants
or a missing persons
report flagged.
Can you see if you
can get us some contact
information for Lindsay
or her daughter?
First name's Sydney.
Same last name.
Stay calm, Eric.
Stay with me.
We don't know
what happened yet.
We both know what
may have happened.
Have you seen Noah?
Hey, have you seen Noah?
Have you seen Noah?
Have you guys seen Noah?
Hey, everything okay?
Yeah, I just, um,
has anyone seen Noah?
I think he went to the bathroom.
Been a minute.
Yeah, I mean, he's
a lightweight, though.
Could be having a rough one.
No, he wasn't drunk.
He was just getting cleaned up
after that creepy
clown guy knocked into him
and spilled his
drink all over him.
Does anybody even know that guy?
No, there's way too
many clowns in here.
Ain't that the truth.
Well, if I see them again,
I'll point them out
because, like, weird, bad vibes.
Yeah, no, please do.
Hey, stay safe.
Promise.
Should we help her?
Honestly, I'm, like,
super drunk right now.
I don't really know
where I left my drink.
No way, same!
Let's get a new one.
Are you having a good time?
Um, I mean, not really, if
I'm being completely honest.
Come on.
Look, I know things can
be a little off right now,
but, hey, look, let's just
try and have some fun.
Look, they're
playing King's Cup.
You want to play?
And there's a bunch of cards.
Come on.
Okay. Okay.
Noah?
You in here?
Noah?
Oh, my God.
You scared the shit out of me.
Um, have you seen my boyfriend?
You bumped into him
earlier and spilled his drink.
Yeah, okay.
Dude, I don't
have time for this.
-Oh.
-[phone rings]
Noah, that better be you.
Come on, come on, Syd.
Pick up.
Come on, pick up.
Did dispatch get back
with Lindsay's number yet?
Unknown number.
Yeah, no, never.
Noah?
[sighs]
No answer?
No.
Here, try Lindsay. I just got
her number from dispatch.
[phone ringing]
You hear that?
Lindsay!
You out there?
God damn it.
Where are you?
Coward!
Show yourself!
Eric, see that?
Hold this.
Same hospital the clown was at.
She works in Mendota.
Same hospital the clown was at.
Must have overheard her talking
about Sydney's graduation.
Figured out she was from here.
He escaped.
Snuck into her car.
As soon as he got as
far as he needed, she...
tried to fight back.
Car went into a ditch.
That's when he killed her.
Dragged her body
away from the crash.
"To..."
What?
"To Officer Trower.
"It's been 10 years.
"Time for some...fun?
"Same place, midnight.
Family only."
It ends with a smiley face.
We need to get
to his house, now.
I need to call Mack.
Wait, what about Lindsay?
Rope this off.
I'll call a medical examiner
and another squad car
to finish out this location.
We have to move. My daughter's
in danger! Come on!
Dispatch, this
is Officer Trower.
We're in pursuit
of a potential threat
likely on foot,
presumed dangerous.
Found victim near the location
of an abandoned vehicle.
Need a medical examiner
out here as well as
another squad to
continue the investigation.
Just staked off the road.
We're good to go.
Okay.
Hey, what's up?
Don't tell me you're leaving.
Maybe I should go.
You're leaving, after all.
No. It's not like that.
Look, we can
work this out, okay?
Come here. Come here.
I haven't seen
Sydney in a minute.
Have you guys seen her?
No.
Noah, then?
No.
Maybe we should
go look for them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
We'll go look for them.
It's gonna be good.
They've got to be around
here somewhere, right?
Yeah.
Why don't we go ahead and check
behind the door number one--
Whoa!
Oh, man.
Noah's gonna be so mad at Aiden.
His bucket of fake blood
must have tipped over.
Whatever.
No one lives here.
It's not like we
have to clean it up.
You're so right.
Why don't we go ahead and check
up these stairs?
Oh, yeah.
Sydney and Noah might
meet up there
on a bed or something.
I like the way you're thinking.
[heavy breathing]
Noah? Sydney?
Are you here?
You know, I think
we just missed them.
Maybe they're under the covers?
Only one way to find out.
[screams]
Oh my God!
Get out of here, creep!
Stop! Just leave!
Dude, what's your problem?
[screams]
Oh my God!
[siren chirps]
Mack!
Baby girl!
Makayla!
Makayla!
Oh, and y'all gotta
meet my girlfriend.
Hey, Makay--
She'll be back.
Ugh...
[thudding]
Hannah?
Dylan?
Hannah?
Dylan?
[phone vibrates]
Hello?
Thank God.
Where are you?
Are you with Sydney?
Dad, yeah, I'm...
I'm with Sydney.
Like you said.
Are you with her right now?
No, I mean, she's not,
like, next to me.
Well, where are you?
I'll come pick you up.
I...
I'm at a Summerween party.
Okay. Okay.
I told you to go to
a friend's house. It's okay.
I'm not mad.
Just tell me where you are.
That abandoned house on Silver.
-Clown House.
-I know, I know.
I'm so sorry.
But Aiden threw this
big party because I never
get to do Summerween
and I shouldn't have gone.
Listen to me.
The Clown escaped from Mendota.
I have reason to
believe he's headed
to his house right
where you are.
You should get out of there.
You should get everybody in that
house out of there, okay?
I'm calling for backup.
I'll be there soon.
But I need you to leave now.
Yeah. I will. I am.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Clown House.
Now. Go. Go.
We have to leave now.
Hey, whoa. Easy.
I was just looking for you.
Please just trust me.
I'll explain in the car.
Babe, not this again.
You can't just--
Baraboo Police, I need everyone
out of the house now.
Cops, come on!
Aiden. Wait.
Just quiet.
Through here.
Shh.
-It might be my dad.
-Didn't sound like him.
Hurry. We gotta find
a place to hide.
If I get busted,
they'll take my scholarship.
Just listen to me.
Baraboo Police. Is there anyone
still in the house?
Quiet.
Is there anyone in there?
[door closes]
I'm sorry.
Your dad's a cop.
Yeah.
Why can't you just talk to him?
Maybe he'll let us go.
I can't get busted or I won't
get my financial aid.
Okay, Aiden, just
listen to me, okay?
My dad called.
The Clown escaped.
He thinks he's on his way here.
All right.
Let's get out of here.
Baraboo Police!
Stop right there!
I said stop!
What was that?
Whoa!
Go! This way!
We're just a couple minutes out.
Someone must have done
a sweep of the place by now.
We'll get her.
I had a chance.
Don't do this.
I had a chance.
You never get hurt.
My daughter isn't in danger.
Pat, I told you
a thousand times.
You played that night perfectly.
I know. And I'd do it
all over again.
That's what frustrates
me so much about it.
If you do every
single thing right,
it can still come
back to haunt you.
Replaying that moment
in my head over and over again
makes you think that killing
somebody is a good idea.
And it never is.
I can't not think that.
Especially this time.
We tried to get him help.
Save him.
Clearly it didn't work.
But that's the system.
You understand me?
Some people just can't be saved.
The Clown's blocking
the front door!
Go! I'll hold him off!
-What? No!
-Go! He's just a guy!
I got this.
You think this is funny?
Huh?
Don't come any closer, man.
I'll mess you up. I swear.
What the hell, man?
What do you want?
Just let us go!
Agh! No!
What is this shit?
[screaming]
Oh, shit!
[screams]
Police, open up!
Mack?
Makayla?
Pat, stay calm.
No. No. Just...
You go right.
I'll check left.
We'll meet on the other side.
If you see anything,
walkie me.
You sure you're okay?
Pat, it's been ten years.
I'm good.
Stay focused.
Yeah. Okay.
Holy shit.
[scoffs]
No.
[gags]
Get off me! Get off!
Son of a--
[struggling]
[laughing]
[gagging]
[sighs]
Where are you, Mack?
Come on! Come on! No!
[shouting]
AIDEN: Help! Somebody!
Aiden?
Aiden?
Somebody please help!
Aiden!
Where are you?
Is Mack with you?
Officer Trower!
I don't know!
It's dark!
I'm tied up!
Officer Trower!
You still there?
Yeah.
Where's Makayla?
Wait!
Wow. An alarm system.
Clever.
Come on, get me out of here!
"Aiden.
"Since you're practically
part of the Trower family,
"you have a ticket
to the grand finale.
"The key to making the big show
"is to not make
a peep or a cheep.
"Look within or the
cost will be steep.
Don't forget to smile."
What does that mean?
The key to unlock you is
in one of these chickens.
We have to be careful.
We can't make a single squeak
or it will kill us both.
I'll get started.
[giggling]
Hmm...
[giggling]
Oh... oh....
Mmm...
[laughs]
Gotta be in one of those.
There's too many.
Eric, you come in.
Er--
[static]
You have your phone on you?
No. I don't think...
The creep must have taken it.
I should have
knew it was him, too.
That stupid smile on his face.
Um, like you said...
Don't forget to...
Smile.
Yes! Yes!
Keep it down.
Wait.
What's that over there?
I have no idea.
I didn't get that far.
Just focused on the main floor.
Okay, come on, man.
Look, just bring me to an exit.
I gotta see a doctor.
Okay, go on. Go on.
I got your back.
Find a phone, call an ambulance
and tell them that--
It's locked!
What does it say?
"You can't leave yet.
Party's only getting started."
Open!
All right.
Stay with me.
The moment we find
a way out, you run.
What? No.
-Okay, I mean, what about...
-I'll find my daughter.
You can get out and bring
as much backup as you can.
-That's how you can help--
-What if we can't leave?
Can't we just go
see the upstairs area
that we couldn't
get to earlier?
Yeah, but...
Makayla can be up there.
Look, I'm the reason she's here.
And I don't think
I can live with myself
if I'm here safe and sound
and she's up there
in a terrible place.
All right.
Stay behind me.
Come on, move.
[whimpering]
Stay close by.
On my six.
Okay.
Come on.
Mack could be in there.
Yeah, could be.
Damn.
Hey, maybe we should just go.
Wait.
Syd...
Eric.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
What?
What is it?
You okay?
-No.
-I'm getting out of here!
Wait, wait, wait, no! Stop!
Okay, dude, I'm done
listening to you!
You know, I came here
to have a fun time
before I go off to school.
And I wanted to show
Makayla a fun Summerween
because all you do is
make it miserable for her.
I mean, dude, if you would
have just let her have a
fun Summerween, none of
this would have happened.
But it did!
You know what?
You have a point.
I owe her a thousand
apologies when I find her.
We gotta find her first.
How are we gonna do that?
We already looked everywhere.
There's one more door
we haven't checked yet.
Wait.
Can't be too careful
in this fun house.
Yeah.
It's so fun.
-All right.
-All right.
Two.
Three.
Of course.
She has to be down here, man.
There's nowhere else left.
She could be.
He might, too.
Hey, but what if
she's not down here?
Well...
If she's not, we keep
looking elsewhere.
We gotta look down here first.
-Come on.
-We gotta hurry up.
You think he could be down here?
He might be.
Wait, wait, wait.
That.
We should just check.
-See that?
-Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, it could be her or...
Only one way to find out.
-All right.
-Come on.
Makayla!
Oh my God, Makayla!
Dad, I'm so sorry!
Mack, you okay?
Yeah, just get me out of here.
Okay, I'm sorry
about moving schools.
I will transfer as soon as
we get out of here, I promise.
Okay.
Wait!
Put the weapon down.
Very funny.
[gunshot]
Ah!
Dad! Get me out of here!
-You okay?
-I'm okay.
[growls]
I'm so sorry, Mack.
Dad, no, I'm sorry.
God, I shouldn't have come here.
No, I never should have
put my baggage on you.
I'm just glad that you're safe.
Dad!
[grunts]
No, no!
Dad, no!
No, stop, what are you doing?
Dad! Dad! Dad, stop!
No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait,
wait, please, please.
You don't have to do this!
[grunts]
[groaning]
Help!
Somebody! Help!
[crying]
Come on!
Somebody, anybody, please...
Let me go.
[wheezes]
Please, just let me go.
[chuckles]
What is happening?
[balloon pops]
I don't think I can do this.
I can't do this.
Let me go, please, I can't!
Just let me go.
Smile.
Dad...
What? Why?
Just keep smiling.
He looks happy.
Oh, no.
I think he's going
to tie me to the ring
and light it on fire.
Keep smiling.
[humming]
What are you doing?
[screaming]
Help me!
Somebody, please!
[shrieks]
No!
Let me go, let me go, let me go.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Please, wait, wait.
Please, don't, just wait.
Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
[screams]
[grunting]
You don't have to do this.
You don't have
to do any of this.
You can run.
My dad will leave you alone.
Okay?
You can go start clowning
in some other town far away.
Just go live your life.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[grunts]
[shouting]
Bury you under that damn jail!
[Clown laughing]
[shouts]
You're under arrest.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law!
Baby girl!
Baby girl... You okay?
I got you.
[grunting]
[laughing]
[coughing]
It's over.
We're free.
Dad?
Dad, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Dad? Dad?
It's okay, baby girl.
It's, it's okay.
No, okay. Dad, you can't
do this to me, okay?
Where are your keys?
Uh, Eric... had them.
Okay. Um...
Okay.
[grunts]
Hello? Please help.
My dad's been hurt
and he's a police officer.
The house is on fire.
[sirens approaching]
They said you can give
your full statement
at the precinct tomorrow.
Suggested you get some rest.
They were saying you stopped
the Summerween slasher.
You're a hero now.
I...
Mack, I'm just glad
you're all right.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
No, you shouldn't have.
But I also shouldn't have been
so strict on you
all those years.
You're your own person.
I know.
But I know better.
You were just
looking out for me.
Maybe too much so.
You need to live your life.
Make your own mistakes
and learn from them.
Hopefully nothing
bigger than this.
Seven bodies pulled
from the house tonight.
We are going to need
dental records to ID them.
The cop.
Dylan. Hannah.
Noah.
Sydney.
And Aiden.
And Eric.
That's seven.
What about... him?
Maybe they haven't
found him yet.
Yeah.
Maybe.
[laughing]
This feels like
a really dumb idea.
I've seen this too many times.
Come on!
We'll be Summerween legends.
All right, five minutes.
Okay, that...
Dang it, Megan.
[grumbles]
Megan!
[thudding]
[music box plays]
Boo!
Oh, Megan, gosh.
You know, he
painted my face once.
When I was like eight.
The clown guy?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I heard he freaked out
during a performance
last Summerween and left town.
No one knows where he's been.
I don't know.
But he was super
into being a clown.
He didn't break character.
Never stopped smiling.
Not even once.
Oh, come on.
You have to see this.
Come on.
Isn't this hilarious?
Wow.
This guy was really
into being a clown.
Yeah. So funny.
Now, can we go?
Come on.
[squeaks]
Don't do that. Come on.
-[squeaks]
-Stop.
Something in here is...
Come on.
[squeaks]
I told you not to do that!
I didn't do that.
What?
[shouting]
Jeff!
[groaning]
Megan!
[Jeff screams]
Help, somebody, please, help me!
-911.
-Hello?
Hi. I trapped in the abandoned
house on Silver Drive.
Please...
[screams]
Hello?
Are you still there?
-Please stay on the line.
-[chuckling]
Hello?
[siren blares]
Police! Open up!
Got a call about
someone being trapped.
Stay calm, rookie.
Is anyone here?
Please respond.
[babbling voice]
[door creaks]
Help me.
Put your hands on
your head... now!
Stop!
Get on the ground!
I'm warning you.
Get on the ground,
or I will shoot!
[cackling]
Eric!
Get down!
You're under arrest.
Anything you say can and will be
used against you
in a court of law.
[cackling continues]
Eric!
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
Stay with me, buddy.
Stay with me!
Come on.
Dispatch, this is
Officer Pat Trower.
I have an officer down.
Repeat, officer down.
Play?
No, that's awesome.
All right.
Good spot.
Yoo-hoo.
Aiden, you were not joking.
This place looks perfect.
Y'all have any luck
finding decorations?
Oh, yeah. Theater department
coming in clutch.
Yeah, it's a start.
A start? I've got a skeleton
wearing sunglasses.
It doesn't get much more
Summerween than that.
Yeah, especially if this is
gonna be the party of the year.
Boom.
I don't know about you guys,
but I got a lot of stuff.
Thrift stores
were a gold mine.
And I got the booze.
I got a lot of people
to donate
their leftover graduation
party bottles.
Yeah, we're finally giving
Makayla the party she deserved.
[phone vibrates]
Shit.
I need to get this stuff
out of my car right now.
My mom needs it.
She has to go back to work.
Oh, no worries.
I got you.
I thought you said you had
a hookup on the building.
Wait.
Dude, what?
We drove all the way to
Spring Screen Preserve for this?
Dude, we're literally here.
We're setting up.
Hello?
Hello?
So?
-Good news?
-Bad news.
The place fell through.
-What?
-What?
We can't throw a party here.
I thought you said
your friend worked here.
Well, apparently he doesn't
have party-throwing power.
It's Summerween.
We have so many people coming.
Who's got a place?
Well, not me.
You can't throw a party
at Sand County Theater
and get away with it.
Makayla?
Your place?
No. My dad doesn't
even want me
going to a party tonight,
let alone throwing one.
No, she's right.
Her dad's, like, super
weird about Summerween.
Why?
He doesn't talk about it.
Nope.
I think it has something
to do with the Clown House.
The Clown House?
Aiden, no.
No, it's literally perfect.
Think about it.
I mean, it's clown-themed.
There's probably a bunch
of creepy clown stuff.
And it's abandoned, dude.
Dude, we can just sneak in,
decorate, get some booze.
Yeah, right?
It will be golden.
It is kind of perfect, Makayla.
All right.
But I have to get
home and talk to my dad
before he
goes out On patrol.
So you guys are gonna
have to set up without me.
-Yeah.
-I'll drop you off.
Well, let's get
this party moving!
Summerween! Summerween!
Summerween!
All right, we'll see
you guys there, huh?
All right.
[door opens]
Mack, just about to call you.
Sorry I'm late.
I, uh, ran into a few friends.
Lost track of time.
No plans tonight, right?
The only plan
is to sit in front of the TV,
watch a couple movies.
Alone.
Maybe with a pizza.
That's my baby girl.
You sure you're okay
to work tonight, Dad?
Huh?
Oh, yeah.
Just, uh, big night.
A lot of kids
getting in trouble.
Just... prepping.
Do you want to talk about it?
When you're older.
You've been weird
about Summerween
for as long
as I can remember.
I'm going off to
college in a few months.
The least you can
do is clue me into why.
You're right.
And I guess you deserve to know.
About ten years ago,
I was called
to the scene of a 911 call.
There was a young woman.
Megan. About your age.
She was trapped inside a house.
When we got there,
she had been very badly hurt
by a man dressed as a clown.
Killed her boyfriend.
He hurt Eric real bad.
And he did it all with
a smile on his face.
Dad, I had no idea.
I had him dead to rights.
If I had just acted faster...
If I hadn't have froze.
She died shortly after.
Eric was in the
hospital for weeks.
He's still not the same.
Not really.
Dad, you did the right thing.
Now he's locked up forever.
I know.
You're right.
I better go finish
getting ready.
Yeah.
Promise me, Mack.
You won't go out tonight.
I'm sure you've been
invited to a bunch of parties.
Dad... I'll be here.
That's my baby girl.
I'm sure if Syd
wanted to come over,
you two gals can hang out
here and have a nice night in.
Yeah, maybe.
I'll text her later.
Okay.
[car doors slamming]
You know, I hear the
dude that used to live here
loved to torture children
with his clown stuff.
You don't know that.
-Just what I heard.
-All right, come on, guys.
Focus up.
We got one hour until
people start the show.
Let's get this party started.
All right.
[laughing]
Come on in.
Get in.
Go first.
Dude, this is perfect.
Wow.
Hey.
[laughs]
Evil...
Hey, guys.
Check this out.
Bam.
All right.
Well, I guess we'll spread out.
Start setting up.
Oh, and I need this to be the
best party of the year for her.
All right?
Summerween on three.
One, two, three.
ALL: Summerween!
Oh, what's up with the knife?
You haven't heard of Pagliacci?
The opera?
What?
The singing clown who kills
his wife and lover on stage.
You guys are all so uncultured.
It's a famous opera.
Pavarotti and...
It's my costume tonight.
Canio.
And I'm excited to see it.
Just don't stab me or
my lover tonight, okay?
Wouldn't dream of it.
Oh, also, guys,
it's a stage knife.
It's not sharp,
pointy, but it's safe.
Yeah, I'm not gonna miss
living in this clown town.
I'll tell you that.
Careful with the blood.
Bro...
I am being careful.
Well, it's expensive,
so come on.
All right, all right.
Aiden!
Oh, my gosh, dude.
Quit messing around.
Just a little bit at
of time and it'll smear.
Ms. Raimer, I thought
you left for the day.
I did, but a couple
things came up
that can't wait till
Monday, so I just...
want to get them done now.
I've been so busy
with my daughter's graduation
and her move to campus.
A lot of big changes.
That her?
Yeah.
She's with her friends.
That is Aiden Ricks,
heck of an athlete.
And that's her bestie,
Makayla Trower.
She's a good egg.
Her dad's a police officer.
She's over at the
house all the time.
Well, I better keep
making my rounds.
Don't stay too long.
I will try.
That's the plan.
Time for your medicine.
Come on. I don't have time
for a puppet show.
I just need to watch
you take your pills.
Uh-uh.
No drink?
Well, that's real special.
[laughing]
[panting]
Maybe it's a spider monkey.
Ha ha ha, it's a type
of monkey, not a spider.
[phone vibrating]
Come on.
Well, I'm off.
You got everything
you need to stay in?
-You know it.
-All right.
I'll see you in the
morning, baby girl.
See you in the morning.
Jenny, a new Call of Duty
game comes out every year,
and then I forget about the
one I was so excited about.
Seriously telling me--
-Hey.
-Hey, where are you?
The party's starting.
Look, I don't know if
I can make it tonight.
My dad really
wants me to stay in.
Okay, well, your
boyfriend really
wants you to come
to this awesome party.
I just... I have to be here
when my dad gets home.
Okay, well, just come
for a few minutes and dip.
I mean, babe, you
can't just not come.
You are not my boss.
Oh, no, yeah, yeah,
yeah, you're right.
I just, uh...
I really wanted to talk to
you about a few things.
What things?
Well, you gotta
come and find out.
Okay, but just
for a little while.
Yes. All right.
All right, I'll see you soon.
Ready for a long night.
A long night of trespassing,
vandalism, and paperwork.
Eric, what are you doing?
Dave called in sick.
The Dream Team is
reuniting for one night only.
Huh?
Yeah?
And you're okay with doing this?
Tonight?
Of all nights?
I know what today is.
It gets to me, too.
Yeah, I know.
I thought it'd be easier
after a decade, but...
Man.
We got through that night.
We'll get through this one.
Come on!
Huh?
Just like the old days.
Yay!
Nice shot, nice shot. Okay.
Here you go.
All right, are you
guys ready for this?
Uh, just missed.
Just missed.
All right.
0 for 2.
Hey, man.
Where's Makayla?
Don't tell me she chickened out.
No. No, no.
She'll be here.
She said she's getting ready.
Hey, you made it.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Yeah, I'm sorry I
didn't dress up more.
I need something
to get off quickly.
-Oh, yeah?
-Not like that.
It's so when I get home,
I can
clean up quickly
before my dad sees.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
-Girl, you look incredible.
No, you.
Okay.
Okay, um, I need a drink,
and then maybe you
can give me a tour.
Show me what you've
done with the place.
Yeah, we didn't have to do much.
This place is creepy as hell,
but all worth it
so you can have a
killer Summerween.
Well, then what are
we waiting on, huh?
Let's do this!
Woo-hoo!
-Yay!
-All right.
All right, everybody,
give me your cup.
Here we go.
-All right.
-A little for you.
-More than that.
-A little for you.
A tiny bit. Tiny bit?
Too bad. Too bad.
Hey, all right,
all right, all right.
So, what is this to?
Summerween!
-Yay!
-Woo!
Oh, you're kidding me.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Oh, thank goodness.
Oh, my God.
[car chirps]
[engine starts]
[shouts]
So far, so good.
Glad to be back, man.
To an uneventful Summerween.
Amen.
All units, this is dispatch.
Please be advised, code 918a.
Escaped mental patient from
Mendota Mental
Health Institute.
Name is Lincoln Bailey,
alias The Clown.
Believed to be wearing a
Mendota Hospital uniform.
He is considered
armed and dangerous.
Protocol dictates--
If there's a 1% chance
I can catch the guy
that almost killed me.
I'm taking it.
You can go, but I'm finding him.
[engine starts]
It's good to be back.
Hey, you're not having fun.
No, I am.
No, you're not.
I'm sorry, I just...
Hey, look, every year
you're stuck inside, though.
While the rest of
us are having fun.
I just...
I just wanted to
show you a good time.
Before we all leave
and do whatever.
What do you mean?
Well, we're going to
college pretty soon.
I mean, this is like our
last full year to do stuff.
-Together.
-What about us?
Yeah. That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
I got a scholarship.
Aiden, that's amazing.
To go to Ohio State.
-Aiden, no.
-I know, I know.
-No, you and me and Syd--
-I know, I know, I know.
I should have told you.
I'm sorry.
[phone vibrates]
Um, excuse me.
Hey, Dad.
-Sorry, I...
-Are you at home?
Uh, yeah.
Did you forget your
keys or something?
No. Just, uh, maybe...
Maybe you should spend some time
at a friend's house tonight.
See if Syd's out, if she
didn't already come over.
Okay?
Dad, is something wrong?
No.
No, just, um...
You should get out of the house.
I probably won't
be back till late.
And I'm, uh...
Just making sure you're safe.
Okay. I'll...
I'll check with Syd.
Thanks, Dad.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Are you sure she's safe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't want to alarm her.
What do you want to do?
I don't give a damn
about protocol.
We gotta get to his house.
That's gotta be
where he's headed.
His whole life is there.
Mendota is in Madison.
Even if he got in
the car right away,
it would take him a full
half hour to get there.
Yeah, maybe.
He's probably
still around there.
Maybe.
But if he gets in the car,
it's where he's headed.
And it won't take him long.
Look, we're only a mile
or so away, so let's just...
Eric.
-I see.
-Yeah.
Is anyone there?
Do you need medical assistance?
Well, what do you think?
Lost control?
Swerving for a deer?
Maybe walked off to get help?
Could be.
Let's call it in.
All right.
Wait.
What?
Shit.
Looks like a smiley
face and blood.
We have to report this.
Hello!
-Hey.
-Hey.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, just...
Why didn't the skeleton
go to the party?
Noah.
Because she had
no body to go with.
[laughing]
You get it?
Yeah.
Okay, come on.
You need to relax.
Yeah. You know, we're about
to start a game of flip cup.
You guys should join us.
Yeah, um, maybe in a minute.
Okay.
Oh, and if my dad asks,
I went to your
place to watch movies.
-Okay?
-Got it. Absolutely.
Wait. Your dad checked in?
Yeah, um...
He sounded worried.
He told me to go
over to a friend's place,
to be with other people,
to be safe.
It's not like him.
Maybe we should just leave
and go someplace normal.
What? No.
Okay, you're literally
with your friends right now.
Dozens of them, actually.
I mean, this can
be a safe place?
Okay, you know what?
I'm actually done
fighting this, so...
Yes.
Okay, well, let's
get some drinks.
See you two up front
for some flip cup?
Flip cup, flip cup,
flip cup, flip cup.
Come on.
Party time!
Woo!
Let's party! Party!
Woo!
[shouting]
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Watch it, man.
You good?
Mm-hmm.
All right, then.
Just watch yourself.
Hey, you gotta get cleaned up.
No, it's fine.
I'm good.
No, you're not.
You're a mess.
Go get yourself
cleaned up, can't you?
Okay?
-Mm-hmm.
-Hi.
Um, just gotta
get to my friends.
Creep.
Hmm.
[humming]
Oh!
Jesus Christ, man!
What is your problem?
What?
Are you playing peek-a-boo
with me right now?
I'm a little adult.
Whatever.
All right.
Dude, stop!
It's not even that sharp, so
just be careful with the point.
Okay, can I please
just have my knife back?
[gags]
[balloon squeaks]
Dispatch, I got a Grey Ford
Fusion, license plate UEZ597,
believed to be owned
by Lindsay Raimer.
Daughter is a
friend of my daughter.
Can you confirm?
Confirmed.
Car is registered
to a Lindsay Raimer.
There are no
outstanding warrants
or a missing persons
report flagged.
Can you see if you
can get us some contact
information for Lindsay
or her daughter?
First name's Sydney.
Same last name.
Stay calm, Eric.
Stay with me.
We don't know
what happened yet.
We both know what
may have happened.
Have you seen Noah?
Hey, have you seen Noah?
Have you seen Noah?
Have you guys seen Noah?
Hey, everything okay?
Yeah, I just, um,
has anyone seen Noah?
I think he went to the bathroom.
Been a minute.
Yeah, I mean, he's
a lightweight, though.
Could be having a rough one.
No, he wasn't drunk.
He was just getting cleaned up
after that creepy
clown guy knocked into him
and spilled his
drink all over him.
Does anybody even know that guy?
No, there's way too
many clowns in here.
Ain't that the truth.
Well, if I see them again,
I'll point them out
because, like, weird, bad vibes.
Yeah, no, please do.
Hey, stay safe.
Promise.
Should we help her?
Honestly, I'm, like,
super drunk right now.
I don't really know
where I left my drink.
No way, same!
Let's get a new one.
Are you having a good time?
Um, I mean, not really, if
I'm being completely honest.
Come on.
Look, I know things can
be a little off right now,
but, hey, look, let's just
try and have some fun.
Look, they're
playing King's Cup.
You want to play?
And there's a bunch of cards.
Come on.
Okay. Okay.
Noah?
You in here?
Noah?
Oh, my God.
You scared the shit out of me.
Um, have you seen my boyfriend?
You bumped into him
earlier and spilled his drink.
Yeah, okay.
Dude, I don't
have time for this.
-Oh.
-[phone rings]
Noah, that better be you.
Come on, come on, Syd.
Pick up.
Come on, pick up.
Did dispatch get back
with Lindsay's number yet?
Unknown number.
Yeah, no, never.
Noah?
[sighs]
No answer?
No.
Here, try Lindsay. I just got
her number from dispatch.
[phone ringing]
You hear that?
Lindsay!
You out there?
God damn it.
Where are you?
Coward!
Show yourself!
Eric, see that?
Hold this.
Same hospital the clown was at.
She works in Mendota.
Same hospital the clown was at.
Must have overheard her talking
about Sydney's graduation.
Figured out she was from here.
He escaped.
Snuck into her car.
As soon as he got as
far as he needed, she...
tried to fight back.
Car went into a ditch.
That's when he killed her.
Dragged her body
away from the crash.
"To..."
What?
"To Officer Trower.
"It's been 10 years.
"Time for some...fun?
"Same place, midnight.
Family only."
It ends with a smiley face.
We need to get
to his house, now.
I need to call Mack.
Wait, what about Lindsay?
Rope this off.
I'll call a medical examiner
and another squad car
to finish out this location.
We have to move. My daughter's
in danger! Come on!
Dispatch, this
is Officer Trower.
We're in pursuit
of a potential threat
likely on foot,
presumed dangerous.
Found victim near the location
of an abandoned vehicle.
Need a medical examiner
out here as well as
another squad to
continue the investigation.
Just staked off the road.
We're good to go.
Okay.
Hey, what's up?
Don't tell me you're leaving.
Maybe I should go.
You're leaving, after all.
No. It's not like that.
Look, we can
work this out, okay?
Come here. Come here.
I haven't seen
Sydney in a minute.
Have you guys seen her?
No.
Noah, then?
No.
Maybe we should
go look for them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
We'll go look for them.
It's gonna be good.
They've got to be around
here somewhere, right?
Yeah.
Why don't we go ahead and check
behind the door number one--
Whoa!
Oh, man.
Noah's gonna be so mad at Aiden.
His bucket of fake blood
must have tipped over.
Whatever.
No one lives here.
It's not like we
have to clean it up.
You're so right.
Why don't we go ahead and check
up these stairs?
Oh, yeah.
Sydney and Noah might
meet up there
on a bed or something.
I like the way you're thinking.
[heavy breathing]
Noah? Sydney?
Are you here?
You know, I think
we just missed them.
Maybe they're under the covers?
Only one way to find out.
[screams]
Oh my God!
Get out of here, creep!
Stop! Just leave!
Dude, what's your problem?
[screams]
Oh my God!
[siren chirps]
Mack!
Baby girl!
Makayla!
Makayla!
Oh, and y'all gotta
meet my girlfriend.
Hey, Makay--
She'll be back.
Ugh...
[thudding]
Hannah?
Dylan?
Hannah?
Dylan?
[phone vibrates]
Hello?
Thank God.
Where are you?
Are you with Sydney?
Dad, yeah, I'm...
I'm with Sydney.
Like you said.
Are you with her right now?
No, I mean, she's not,
like, next to me.
Well, where are you?
I'll come pick you up.
I...
I'm at a Summerween party.
Okay. Okay.
I told you to go to
a friend's house. It's okay.
I'm not mad.
Just tell me where you are.
That abandoned house on Silver.
-Clown House.
-I know, I know.
I'm so sorry.
But Aiden threw this
big party because I never
get to do Summerween
and I shouldn't have gone.
Listen to me.
The Clown escaped from Mendota.
I have reason to
believe he's headed
to his house right
where you are.
You should get out of there.
You should get everybody in that
house out of there, okay?
I'm calling for backup.
I'll be there soon.
But I need you to leave now.
Yeah. I will. I am.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Clown House.
Now. Go. Go.
We have to leave now.
Hey, whoa. Easy.
I was just looking for you.
Please just trust me.
I'll explain in the car.
Babe, not this again.
You can't just--
Baraboo Police, I need everyone
out of the house now.
Cops, come on!
Aiden. Wait.
Just quiet.
Through here.
Shh.
-It might be my dad.
-Didn't sound like him.
Hurry. We gotta find
a place to hide.
If I get busted,
they'll take my scholarship.
Just listen to me.
Baraboo Police. Is there anyone
still in the house?
Quiet.
Is there anyone in there?
[door closes]
I'm sorry.
Your dad's a cop.
Yeah.
Why can't you just talk to him?
Maybe he'll let us go.
I can't get busted or I won't
get my financial aid.
Okay, Aiden, just
listen to me, okay?
My dad called.
The Clown escaped.
He thinks he's on his way here.
All right.
Let's get out of here.
Baraboo Police!
Stop right there!
I said stop!
What was that?
Whoa!
Go! This way!
We're just a couple minutes out.
Someone must have done
a sweep of the place by now.
We'll get her.
I had a chance.
Don't do this.
I had a chance.
You never get hurt.
My daughter isn't in danger.
Pat, I told you
a thousand times.
You played that night perfectly.
I know. And I'd do it
all over again.
That's what frustrates
me so much about it.
If you do every
single thing right,
it can still come
back to haunt you.
Replaying that moment
in my head over and over again
makes you think that killing
somebody is a good idea.
And it never is.
I can't not think that.
Especially this time.
We tried to get him help.
Save him.
Clearly it didn't work.
But that's the system.
You understand me?
Some people just can't be saved.
The Clown's blocking
the front door!
Go! I'll hold him off!
-What? No!
-Go! He's just a guy!
I got this.
You think this is funny?
Huh?
Don't come any closer, man.
I'll mess you up. I swear.
What the hell, man?
What do you want?
Just let us go!
Agh! No!
What is this shit?
[screaming]
Oh, shit!
[screams]
Police, open up!
Mack?
Makayla?
Pat, stay calm.
No. No. Just...
You go right.
I'll check left.
We'll meet on the other side.
If you see anything,
walkie me.
You sure you're okay?
Pat, it's been ten years.
I'm good.
Stay focused.
Yeah. Okay.
Holy shit.
[scoffs]
No.
[gags]
Get off me! Get off!
Son of a--
[struggling]
[laughing]
[gagging]
[sighs]
Where are you, Mack?
Come on! Come on! No!
[shouting]
AIDEN: Help! Somebody!
Aiden?
Aiden?
Somebody please help!
Aiden!
Where are you?
Is Mack with you?
Officer Trower!
I don't know!
It's dark!
I'm tied up!
Officer Trower!
You still there?
Yeah.
Where's Makayla?
Wait!
Wow. An alarm system.
Clever.
Come on, get me out of here!
"Aiden.
"Since you're practically
part of the Trower family,
"you have a ticket
to the grand finale.
"The key to making the big show
"is to not make
a peep or a cheep.
"Look within or the
cost will be steep.
Don't forget to smile."
What does that mean?
The key to unlock you is
in one of these chickens.
We have to be careful.
We can't make a single squeak
or it will kill us both.
I'll get started.
[giggling]
Hmm...
[giggling]
Oh... oh....
Mmm...
[laughs]
Gotta be in one of those.
There's too many.
Eric, you come in.
Er--
[static]
You have your phone on you?
No. I don't think...
The creep must have taken it.
I should have
knew it was him, too.
That stupid smile on his face.
Um, like you said...
Don't forget to...
Smile.
Yes! Yes!
Keep it down.
Wait.
What's that over there?
I have no idea.
I didn't get that far.
Just focused on the main floor.
Okay, come on, man.
Look, just bring me to an exit.
I gotta see a doctor.
Okay, go on. Go on.
I got your back.
Find a phone, call an ambulance
and tell them that--
It's locked!
What does it say?
"You can't leave yet.
Party's only getting started."
Open!
All right.
Stay with me.
The moment we find
a way out, you run.
What? No.
-Okay, I mean, what about...
-I'll find my daughter.
You can get out and bring
as much backup as you can.
-That's how you can help--
-What if we can't leave?
Can't we just go
see the upstairs area
that we couldn't
get to earlier?
Yeah, but...
Makayla can be up there.
Look, I'm the reason she's here.
And I don't think
I can live with myself
if I'm here safe and sound
and she's up there
in a terrible place.
All right.
Stay behind me.
Come on, move.
[whimpering]
Stay close by.
On my six.
Okay.
Come on.
Mack could be in there.
Yeah, could be.
Damn.
Hey, maybe we should just go.
Wait.
Syd...
Eric.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
What?
What is it?
You okay?
-No.
-I'm getting out of here!
Wait, wait, wait, no! Stop!
Okay, dude, I'm done
listening to you!
You know, I came here
to have a fun time
before I go off to school.
And I wanted to show
Makayla a fun Summerween
because all you do is
make it miserable for her.
I mean, dude, if you would
have just let her have a
fun Summerween, none of
this would have happened.
But it did!
You know what?
You have a point.
I owe her a thousand
apologies when I find her.
We gotta find her first.
How are we gonna do that?
We already looked everywhere.
There's one more door
we haven't checked yet.
Wait.
Can't be too careful
in this fun house.
Yeah.
It's so fun.
-All right.
-All right.
Two.
Three.
Of course.
She has to be down here, man.
There's nowhere else left.
She could be.
He might, too.
Hey, but what if
she's not down here?
Well...
If she's not, we keep
looking elsewhere.
We gotta look down here first.
-Come on.
-We gotta hurry up.
You think he could be down here?
He might be.
Wait, wait, wait.
That.
We should just check.
-See that?
-Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, it could be her or...
Only one way to find out.
-All right.
-Come on.
Makayla!
Oh my God, Makayla!
Dad, I'm so sorry!
Mack, you okay?
Yeah, just get me out of here.
Okay, I'm sorry
about moving schools.
I will transfer as soon as
we get out of here, I promise.
Okay.
Wait!
Put the weapon down.
Very funny.
[gunshot]
Ah!
Dad! Get me out of here!
-You okay?
-I'm okay.
[growls]
I'm so sorry, Mack.
Dad, no, I'm sorry.
God, I shouldn't have come here.
No, I never should have
put my baggage on you.
I'm just glad that you're safe.
Dad!
[grunts]
No, no!
Dad, no!
No, stop, what are you doing?
Dad! Dad! Dad, stop!
No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait,
wait, please, please.
You don't have to do this!
[grunts]
[groaning]
Help!
Somebody! Help!
[crying]
Come on!
Somebody, anybody, please...
Let me go.
[wheezes]
Please, just let me go.
[chuckles]
What is happening?
[balloon pops]
I don't think I can do this.
I can't do this.
Let me go, please, I can't!
Just let me go.
Smile.
Dad...
What? Why?
Just keep smiling.
He looks happy.
Oh, no.
I think he's going
to tie me to the ring
and light it on fire.
Keep smiling.
[humming]
What are you doing?
[screaming]
Help me!
Somebody, please!
[shrieks]
No!
Let me go, let me go, let me go.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Please, wait, wait.
Please, don't, just wait.
Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
[screams]
[grunting]
You don't have to do this.
You don't have
to do any of this.
You can run.
My dad will leave you alone.
Okay?
You can go start clowning
in some other town far away.
Just go live your life.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[grunts]
[shouting]
Bury you under that damn jail!
[Clown laughing]
[shouts]
You're under arrest.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law!
Baby girl!
Baby girl... You okay?
I got you.
[grunting]
[laughing]
[coughing]
It's over.
We're free.
Dad?
Dad, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
Dad? Dad?
It's okay, baby girl.
It's, it's okay.
No, okay. Dad, you can't
do this to me, okay?
Where are your keys?
Uh, Eric... had them.
Okay. Um...
Okay.
[grunts]
Hello? Please help.
My dad's been hurt
and he's a police officer.
The house is on fire.
[sirens approaching]
They said you can give
your full statement
at the precinct tomorrow.
Suggested you get some rest.
They were saying you stopped
the Summerween slasher.
You're a hero now.
I...
Mack, I'm just glad
you're all right.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
No, you shouldn't have.
But I also shouldn't have been
so strict on you
all those years.
You're your own person.
I know.
But I know better.
You were just
looking out for me.
Maybe too much so.
You need to live your life.
Make your own mistakes
and learn from them.
Hopefully nothing
bigger than this.
Seven bodies pulled
from the house tonight.
We are going to need
dental records to ID them.
The cop.
Dylan. Hannah.
Noah.
Sydney.
And Aiden.
And Eric.
That's seven.
What about... him?
Maybe they haven't
found him yet.
Yeah.
Maybe.
[laughing]
