50 States of Fright (2020) s02e04 Episode Script
13 Steps to Hell (Washington) - Part 1
Every state has its folklore,
tall tales, and legends,
but sometimes there is a darker story
a tale not so much told as whispered.
Listen.
I don't wanna freak
you out by talking about this
but growing up, my friends and me,
we heard lots of stories
about the old Maltby Cemetery.
We just laughed it off,
you know how it is with local legends,
every town has one.
Kids make things up all the
time just to spook each other.
Never let it get to me
till I heard what
happened to those um
Gretchel kids.
After that everyone knew it
was more than just a legend.
It was real.
You doing okay, little bro?
Want me to carry Quirky for a while?
I still don't know why we couldn't
just bury it in our own backyard
like normal people.
Because he was the best hamster ever
and it has to be official.
It's the only way to make
sure he goes to heaven.
Like Mom.
Mallory?
Mallory?
Mallory?
Please, wait!
Mallory, sweetheart,
your dad needs you right now!
Hey, little lady.
It's time, Mal.
Mallie
Story goes,
the property the cemetery was built on,
was owned by a family of Devil
worshipers back in, like,
1890 or something.
The Bells.
Mom, Dad, even the kids
and the grandparents,
all played around with the Dark Arts.
All Satanists.
Eventually, they run out of town
but they left their mark.
Some of the stuff, they used do
up there, the rituals and things
people said it opened up a portal.
Hurry up, will ya?
We need flowers,
if it's gonna be a proper burial.
Well, if I'm the grave digger,
then you're the flower picker, Mal.
This is total bullshit!
Jesus.
Mallory

Mallory
What is that?
Can Can we please go?
Are you okay, Mal?

Quirky's funeral yet!

Didn't wanna be there either.
You know we can't catch you, Mallory.
You shut it!

Some help?
Whoa!
I see him, I see Grr.
What the hell is this?
- I'll get him.
- No, no, it's okay, I'll go.
I said I'll get him.
And Mallory wasn't the first person
to ever go down into that place, but
she's the one person
everyone always talked about.
I-I know this sounds crazy, I know
but the Maltby Cemetery staircase,
it wasn't just a set of steps
it was something else, it
it was something
dark.
