Camp Scarecrow

When two complete strangers each agree to take on a one-day gig - You're gonna be a security guard.
- I am dying to get a new assistant.
it's business as usual, until their paths collide and these temporary assignments turn into all out supernatural surprises.
Oh my God! It's the most elaborate hidden camera prank show ever devised.
What the hell?! Double the stakes What is that?! and double the scares.
My God! And there's only one person with his finger on the button when you least expect it.
All right, let's cue another scare.
This is where fear meets funny.
You're on my prank show, Prank Encounters.
- Did you know? - No! This is Prank Encounters.
Okay.
Who's ready for a scary camping story? For this Prank Encounter, we've made up the fictional kids' sleep-away camp called Camp Scarecrow.
Sounds pleasant enough, right? Well Last summer, there was an incident at Camp Scarecrow.
As the story goes, a couple of kids went missing at the camp, so the owners decided to shut it down.
The prime suspect turned out to be the camp's groundskeeper, who was then sent to a mental institution, but during his trial, the groundskeeper swore up and down that he was innocent I'm here to keep the children safe.
I am a protector! and that the real threat well, it wasn't human, but more on that later.
Now the camp is going to be reopened, despite the fact that strange occurrences continue to happen.
Now, of course, this is all fake, but for these two counselor wannabes, it's gonna be all too real.
Regan believes she's been hired as a trainee for the girls' cabin where she'll help brainstorm ideas on how to get the camp back up and running.
She's in a van on the way to the camp right now along with Olivia, who's also a fellow girl trainee, but what Regan doesn't know is that Olivia is one of our actors.
Meanwhile, our other target, Cameron, has just arrived at the camp.
He believes he's been hired as a trainee for the boys' cabin and is with Eddie, who's also pretending to be a trainee.
Now, Cameron and Regan have never met, but they will tonight, under the most terrifying circumstances.
And along with our actors Olivia and Eddie, everyone else they're about to meet tonight are also actors.
Everything that's about to happen will be caught on hidden camera.
- All right.
Everyone ready? - Yeah.
Let's go.
Welcome.
Come on in! All right.
What's your name? Cameron.
- Nice to meet you, Cam.
- Cam, I'm Steve.
Have a seat right here.
Hi, Steve.
I'm Eddie.
It looks like Cameron has made contact with the rest of the boys' cabin crew.
All right, everybody sit down.
So, you guys, we're all here.
Give ourselves a hand.
We made it.
We made it.
We made it.
You guys know exactly why you're here? Yeah, I mean, I wanted to be a counselor Dude, I think I stayed here when I was a kid, like in this exact space.
It's been around for a long time.
And, we know that you are also looking to work here as well.
You said your name was Cameron, right? Uh-huh, but please call me Cam, because "Cameron" makes me feel like I'm in trouble.
You've been camping before, right? I haven't.
- You never been camping before? - No.
There's actually a campsite, like maybe ten minutes from our house.
I just never actually went over there.
Well, now you're doing it.
You're doing it! Congratulations! Now that Cameron's settled in, let's check in on Regan's whereabouts.
Awesome.
Looks like she's just three minutes away from camp.
I like working with, like, kids and stuff.
I've been doing a lot of camp counseling.
I worked at an elementary school for a year.
- As an after-school teacher.
- Really? That's so cool.
I did that last year.
That was really fun.
I love kids too.
Okay, Regan's van just entered the campsite.
Stand by with the scarecrow.
- Do you see that? - Yeah.
- Who is it? - Oh my God.
Uh - That's kinda scary.
- No, thank you! All right.
All right, Regan's being dropped off at the girls' cabin which is right next door to the boys' cabin.
Let's have her meet the rest of the girls.
Hi! How are you? Hi! I'm Madison.
I'm Regan.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Niahlah.
- Niahlah, hi.
Olivia.
- Hi, Olivia.
- I'm Regan.
- Hi, Regan.
Nice to meet you.
- I love your eye makeup.
- Thank you.
Why don't you come have a seat over here? You guys sit down.
Oh my gosh, I'm so thrilled to have you here.
So, I've been here for 24 years.
Oh my gosh! Maddy was my camp counselor back then, too.
Now that I'm old enough to be a counselor, I'm so excited.
Wow.
Regan, do you like kids? I love kids.
I was an after school teacher for a year, this past year.
So, I was working with 2nd and 3rd graders at an elementary school.
- Really? - Yeah.
This is perfect! Wow! All right, now it's time for them to learn about Camp Scarecrow.
You guys, we have to come up with some new names for the camp.
We're rebooting the whole thing.
And right now we're trying to re- brand the camp.
Let's see if they can come up with some names.
We just don't want anything related anymore to Camp Scarecrow.
And then what you may not know, there's guys next door in the boy cabin.
They're gonna come up with their ideas and then we're going to compare and contrast.
This is our contact when we want to call the boys' cabin.
Okay.
And also on this, we can call the park ranger.
He's always very close by.
His name is Ranger Dave, known him all my life.
If you wanna just say hello to the boys' cabin and introduce yourself This is Regan from the girls' cabin.
Hello.
Cameron to Regan.
We were introducing ourselves.
I'm Cameron.
And he's an Aries.
And I'm a Scorpio.
Great.
You know, Scorpios are so mean.
When are you guys planning on bringing your names over? Yeah, we're working on that right now.
All right, well, we're definitely winning for the first time.
Time to let Cameron and Regan know this isn't your typical sleep-away camp.
Stand by, all right? Three, two one.
What the heck was that? Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
Okay.
Steve, what the heck was that? Okay.
There's like gophers and they're eating the vegetables and stuff.
I kinda set down some dynamite.
The rat poison wasn't working so I thought I could just put them in there - Why would you do that? - Boys' cabin, did you guys hear that? Okay, here, ladies, let me explain what's going on.
Steve put four sticks of dynamite outside - Are you kidding me? - into gopher holes.
What? We thought they had already been set off, but they weren't, so He's gonna have to go out there and check.
That way we can make sure everything's safe.
- I'm sorry, man.
I should have told you.
- Go, man! - All right.
- God! Can you please get that under control? - Steve, take the walkie with you.
- I know.
Steve's not the brightest.
All right.
Anyway, I apologize.
I'm sorry.
Steve is not only an explosive personality, he likes to blow things up, and we thought it was under control, it was never ever happening again.
It's nothing to joke about, though, especially because under the old name of our camp, which was Camp Scarecrow, we're trying to actually remove all ideas and thoughts and images of Camp Scarecrow.
Oh, we did see someone when we were coming in that had a scarecrow.
Serious? You saw this tonight? Where the hell is Steve at? He's been gone for a while now.
Zack to Steve, Zack to Steve.
Steve, come in? So, when we came in on the bus, we, like, saw someone walking by with a scarecrow.
All right, let's cue another blast.
Should we go check on him? Hi, can you please get that under control, because it really just scared all of us.
We are going to go and find Steve.
I'm not sure what he's out there doing.
Okay, thank you.
We should never be having this conversation ever again.
All right.
Come with me.
Okay, the boys have begun their hunt for Steve.
Let's check back in on the girls' cabin.
So, guys, all right, seriously, back to this.
What did he look like? He was pretty tall.
He kind of freaked us out just a little bit, but we just thought maybe that was someone that worked Maybe if there's a groundskeeper, like, he was taking a scarecrow down or something.
Yeah, there's no more groundskeeper.
Yeah.
Oh, really? You guys, I'm gonna show you something.
I just need you to be completely honest with me, okay? Did it look like this guy? Looks a lot like him.
- Really? - Yeah.
Around that same age.
So this guy, he was our groundskeeper.
He's actually part of the reason why we're changing the name of the camp.
Ranger Dave, this is Madison.
Madison to Ranger Dave.
You're talking to Dave.
Hey, it's Madison.
We have a big problem.
What's up? We think we have reason to believe that Lucius might be on the property.
Come again? So, around 25 minutes ago, we saw a man who was dragging a scarecrow on the ground, and he just looked a little bit suspicious.
Okay, you know what? I'm at Dead Man's Curve, so, I will head your way.
Just stay inside the cabin and do not leave until you hear an all-clear sign from me.
Do you understand? Yes, we understand.
All right, I'm on my way.
Nobody knows this area and this campground better than Lucius, that's for sure.
Let's go back to the boys again.
Okay, they're about to come across Steve at the scarecrow stand.
Oh, shit, here you go.
Right here! Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! So, these two kids went missing.
We all know that it was Lucius.
He said that if we put the scarecrow back up that the kids would return.
I came out here to take down the scarecrow and before I knew it, I just got hit in the head.
He just was absolutely convinced that without the scarecrow that we were in danger.
Don't touch him! Don't touch it! - Leave it! - Whoa! Leave it! Don't touch it! Lucius! You shouldn't be here! - Don't touch it! - Calm down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Put up the scarecrow! You gotta leave it up! Leave it up.
Put him up! Put up the scarecrow! Ranger Dave, hey! Hey, Lucius? Lucius? Hey, Lucius, hey.
Hey, guys.
Hey, Lucius.
- Hey, Zack.
- Hey, Dave.
Lucius, are you talking to your friends? I failed.
- What's your name? - Cameron.
Hey, Cameron, how are you doing? Is Lucius your friend? - Yes.
- He's your friend? - Yeah.
- I don't know you.
I'm your friend.
You don't remember me? You don't remember me? It's been a long time.
It's been a long time.
- What you doing out here? - He's here again! He's here! - He hit me in the head! - Didn't! All right, listen! He hit you! You know what, let's go back to the station and we'll talk about it.
Oh, I have to stay.
I have to protect them.
I know you do.
We all gotta protect, but doesn't his hands look cold? Hey, I got some gloves.
New gloves? Look, your hands look cold, Lucius.
Take the gloves.
Let me just see your hands for a second.
I failed! I failed! Okay, hold on.
All right, this is This is Ranger Dave.
I got Lucius in custody.
Apparently, he was trying to put the scarecrow back up to protect us, right, guys? Anyway, all clear, all clear.

This is Cameron.
How are you? Cameron, do you wanna come sit over here? Welcome to the girls' cabin.
Hi.
Okay.
They've collided and now we have everyone together.
Let's get ready to cue our next scare.
What's going on, guys? Got punched in the back of the head.
We found him just laid out.
When we went to pick him up, Lucius came out.
- Did you know Lucius was back? - I had no idea! We saw him when we were pulling in.
You saw him? - We saw a guy - We didn't know.
He was He had a scarecrow.
Where is Lucius now? Ranger Dave got him.
I had to act like I knew him to distract him so Ranger Dave could, like, get his hands and, you know, get him under control.
