[ CHUCKLING ] OR... 15. FIVE, 15, 30... DOES IT MATTER? THIS IS THE YEAR IT WAKES UP, RIGHT? WELL, NO. SO, WHAT'S THE POIN OF WARNING US? I CAN'T HELP SPINNIN' TALES TO PRETTY YOUNG GALS LIKE YOU. OH, THAT MAKES I SO MUCH BETTER. IT'S A COOL STORY... IF YOU WANNA HEAR IT. REALLY GOOD. REAL GOOD. CREEPY. FINE, I'LL BITE. TELL US THE STORY. IF YOU INSIST. I'D INSIS YOU LET RALPH LEAVE. WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT? AN EVIL SCARECROW. [ ALL LAUGHING ] ARE YOU SERIOUS? AW, NO. ARE YOU, UH, TELLIN' THEM ABOUT THAT OLD THING AGAIN? I, UH... I DON'T KNOW. THAT, UH-- THAT DOESN'T SEEM WISE. IT'S JUST A STORY, RIGHT? IT'S A GHOST STORY? WELL, YEAH, I GUESS. THEY'VE ALWAYS SAID THIS AREA'S BEEN CURSED. WEIRD ACCIDENTS, STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING. RALPH, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A SCARECROW, DO YOU? [ CHUCKLING ] 'COURSE HE DOESN'T. HE'S YOUNG AND DUMB, JUST LIKE ALL OF YOU ARE. IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT, OR TOUCH IT, OR SMELL IT, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN IT. [ CHUCKLING ] WELL, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE CURSE-- OR THE EVIL, IN THIS REGION. [ THUNDER RUMBLING ] IT ALL STARTED JUS BEFORE THE TURN OF THE LAST CENTURY. THEY SAY IT WAS A GROUP OF WITCHES AND WARLOCKS THAT STARTED IT ALL. OR THEY SAY IT WAS A GROUP OF ESCAPED MENTAL PATIENTS FROM THE OLD ASYLUM THE NEXT COUNTY OVER. OKAY, SO WAIT A MINUTE. WHICH IS IT? 'CAUSE THAT'S, LIKE, TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORIES. I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE NICE ONE. I'M SORRY. AW, THAT'S OKAY. BUT IF YOU MUST KNOW, IT WAS BOTH. [ THUNDER RUMBLING ] LEGEND HAS IT, THERE WAS A FAMILY OF WITCHES AND WIZARDS THAT FOUNDED THIS HERE AREA AND TOWN. THEY KEPT TO THEMSELVES, MOSTLY, NOT HARMIN' NO ONE. ALTHOUGH, THERE WERE RUMORS, AND PEOPLE WERE AFRAID OF THEM, OF COURSE. OF COURSE. SHH! SORRY. SHH!! ANYWAY, LIKE I WAS SAYIN'... AFTER TIME, FOLKS GOT TO AVOIDING THEM FOR THE MOST PART. YOU SEE, THERE WAS A COUSIN, AND HE WEREN'T QUITE RIGHT IN THE HEAD. HE WOULD PRACTICE HIS INCANTATIONS OPENLY, SO PEOPLE COULD SEE, SCARIN' PEOPLE. ONE DAY, THOUGH, HE KIDNAPS HIMSELF ONE OF THE TOWNSFOLK'S KIDS, AND HE DOES SOMETHING TERRIBLE, AND TORTURES THE POOR KID, AND SACRIFICES HIM IN A DARK RITUAL. [ CHILD SCREAMING ] NO, NO! [ KNIFE STABBING ] WELL, THE TOWNSFOLKS GET ALL STIRRED UP, AND THEY GO TO THE FAMILY'S HOUSE AND STORM IT. THEY GRAB THE COUSIN AND TWO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, AND HAD A QUICK TRIAL. [ COLLECTIVE ANGRY CHATTER ] [ GAVEL CLACKING ] THEY FOUND THEM ALL GUILTY, AS THE COUSIN LAUGHED AND SPAT. [ EVIL LAUGHTER ] WELL, THE TOWNSFOLK HAD THEM ALL COMMITTED TO THE ASYLUM, WHERE, THROUGH TREATMENT, THEY WENT MAD. [ ELECTRICAL ZAPPING ] [ SCREAMING ] NOW, THE HEADS OF THE FAMILY GOT PLENTY ANGRY, AND THEY WENT TO THE ASYLUM AND KILLED EVERYONE THERE. PATIENTS, DOCTORS, ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO FREE THEIR KIN. THEY ESCAPED, AND MADE IT BACK TO THEIR HOMESTEAD. WHEN THE TOWNSFOLKS FOUND OUT, THEY BROKE INTO THE HOUSE AND DRUG THEM ALL OUT, AND HANGED THEM. [ COLLECTIVE ANGRY CHATTER ] [ THUNDER RUMBLING ] THEN, THEY BURNED THE HOUSE AND PROPERTY DOWN, AND SALTED THE EARTH TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAPPENED THERE. THE FAMILY TOOK A LONG TIME TO DIE, THOUGH, WHILE SPOUTING OFF CURSES AND SPELLS. [ MYSTICAL INCANTATIONS ] WHEN THEY FINALLY DIED, THE TOWNSFOLK DIDN'T WAN TO BURN THE BODIES. SO THEY TOOK THEM DEEP INTO THE WOODS, SECRET-LIKE, 'CAUSE NO ALL THE FAMILY WAS CAUGHT. THE TOWNSFOLK BELIEVED THAT THE FREE ONES COULD RESURRECT THE DEAD ONES, OR SOME SUCH NONSENSE. [ CHANTING ] SO A FEW OF THE BRAVE TOWNSMEN BURIED THE BODIES IN A SMALL CEMETERY THA THEY HAD CREATED, HIDDEN AWAY SO NO ONE COULD FIND THEM. THIS IS ALL FASCINATING, BUT WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE SCARECROW? PATIENCE, LAD. CHILL OUT. [ LAUGHTER ] NOW, WHERE WAS I? OH YES, THE SCARECROW. YOU SEE, THE TOWNSFOLK DIDN' THINK TO WARD OFF THE CEMETERY, OR GET A WISE WOMAN OR WICCAN TO BLESS IT, SO THE DARK POWER SEEPED OUT. IT HAD FOUND, NOT TOO FAR AWAY-- THERE WAS A CORNFIELD, LONG OVERGROWN, COMPLETE WITH AN ABANDONED SCARECROW. WELL, THOSE POWERS SEEPED INTO THAT THING, AND GAVE I A HORRIBLE LIFE. SOME SAY IT AVENGES UPON THE DESCENDANTS OF THE TOWNSFOLK WHO HUNG THE FAMILY. SOME SAY IT SEARCHES FOR THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBER. BUT IT LIVES AND EXISTS FOR PURELY EVIL PURPOSES. [ HISSING ] [ THUNDER CRACKLING ] SO DID THE ESCAPED FAMILY MEMBER EVER COME BACK? DID ANYTHING EVER HAPPEN? NO, NOTHING EVER REALLY HAPPENED. THEY SAY HE CHANGED HIS NAME, MOVED OUT OF TOWN. BEEN HIDDEN EVER SINCE. HE? OR SHE. SO, THAT REALLY HAPPENED? WELL, KIND OF, SORTA. WELL, WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE JUS GO DIG UP THE CEMETERY AND WARD IT, OR BIND I LIKE YOU SAID? NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS. YOU SAID IT ONLY COMES OU EVERY 30 YEARS? 15. EVERY 15 YEARS? OOO, SCARY! [ CHUCKLING ] WELL, THE GRAVEYARD'S SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND THE HARPER LAKE AREA. SO THERE YOU GO. HASN'T ANYONE EVER GONE LOOKING FOR IT? WOULD YOU? ANYONE THAT HAS IS-- THEY'VE ALL DISAPPEARED, RIGHT? [ LAUGHING ] WELL, SOME HAVE. SOME GET LOST AND NEVER FIND THEIR WAY BACK, AND SOME DON'T FIND ANYTHING AT ALL. DON'T WORRY. I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I MEAN, I'VE HEARD THE STORIES, BUT THAT'S ALL THEY ARE, STORIES TO SCARE KIDS. YOU DON'T GO TO SLEEP, THE SCARECROW'LL GET YA. STUFF LIKE THAT. [ CHUCKLING ] EAT YOUR VEGGIES OR THE SCARECROW'LL GET YA! [ SQUEALING AND LAUGHING ] AW, DON'T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD. YOU GOT RALPH TO TAKE CARE OF YA. IT'S JUST A STORY, IN EXCHANGE FOR FREE DRINKS. I DON'T GET TO SPEND MUCH TIME WITH PRETTY GIRLS LIKE YOU. YOU OLD CHARMER. MM-HMM. [ SCOFFING ] WE SHOULD GET GOING. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, LET'S GET A PICTURE WITH DOC. SHIT. YOU ARE WRITING A BOOK. I JUST LIKE PICTURES. EXCUSE ME, WILL YOU TAKE THIS SHOT FOR US? UH, SURE. [ INDISTINCT CHATTER ] THANK YOU. OOH. [ CAMERA CLICKING ] [ MUSIC ] [ FROGS CROAKING ] OVER HERE. I THINK I FOUND IT. YUP, THIS IS IT. HARPER LAKE. OKAY, SO I THINK THE TEN SHOULD GO HERE, AND FIRE HERE. I'VE GOT A BETTER IDEA. LAST ONE IN'S A SQUARE! [ SPLASHING AND GIGGLING ] NOT... NOT YOU? [ CHUCKLING ] NO. THEY'RE GONNA BE DRINKING AND SMOKING, AND THE TENT WON'T BE PUT UP, AND THE FIRE WON'T BE BUILT. I'LL HELP. NO, IT'S FINE. GO HAVE FUN. I CAN'T SWIM. OKAY, COME ON. [ DISTANT COYOTE HOWLING ] YOU'RE NOT STILL WORRIED ABOUT DOC'S STORIES, ARE YA? UM, NO. I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST STORIES, RIGHT? [ SIGHING ] I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT THOSE TWO, AND MY IDIOT COUSIN JANELLE. I WOULDN'T WORRY, THEY'RE WITH GEORGE. THAT'S WHA I'M WORRIED ABOUT. [ CHUCKLING ] YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A LOT MORE FUN THAN SHE SAID YOU'D BE. WHO? JANELLE. SHE SAID YOU CAN BE KIND OF A... A PRUDE. WHAT? [ LOUD YELLING ] [ LAUGHTER ] OH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACES. OH MY GOD. THAT'S NOT FUNNY. YEAH, IT IS. [ CHUCKLING ] CHECK OUT WHAT WE FOUND. [ MUSIC ] WHERE'D YOU FIND THAT? UH, I FOUND IT ON A SCARECROW IN THE FIELD BACK THERE. BY THE CEMETERY? YEAH, WHY? YOU HEARD THE STORIES. WHA-- WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THA OLD MAN SAID, ABOUT SCARECROW OF THE LAKE, OR SOME DUMB SHIT. YOU ARE SO NAIVE. THOSE STORIES WERE JUST MADE UP TO KEEP US FROM HAVING A GOOD TIME. WELL? DON'T WORRY, DEAR. IN ALL THE MONSTER STORIES, IT'S ALWAYS THE VIRGIN THAT GETS TO BE THE HERO. YOU CAN SAVE US ALL. FUCK YOU. [ CHUCKLING ] JUST LET HER GO. SHE CAN COOL OFF. BESIDES, I BROUGHT THIS. HEYYYY. NOW WE HAVE A CHANCE TO CHAT. [ THUDDING FOOTSTEPS ] [ MUSIC ] [ BONG BUBBLING ] I'M GOIN' AFTER HER. UGH, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GONNA GET ANY! AT LEAST FROM HER, ANYWAY. COOL IT, BITCH. I SAID HE'S OFF LIMITS. YEAH, BUT... MAYBE WE CAN HAVE SOME FUN WITH CLAIRE LATER? THAT SOUNDS PEACHY. I'D RATHER HAVE SOME FUN RIGHT NOW. [ BONG BUBBLING ] COME ON. ALL RIGHT. I SAID LATER. MAYBE. THERE YOU GO. BYE. HE'S OFF LIMITS... SHE'S MY COUSIN... I SAID, LATER... MAYBE... YOU LEAVE ME ALL ALONE OUT HERE? FUCKIN' BITCH! FUCKIN' HOPE THE FUCKIN' SCARECROW GETS YOU. [ MUSIC ] FUCKIN' BITCH. [ GASPING ] [ SNARLING ] [ GAGGING ] SMOOTH. I'M SO GONNA GET LOST. WITHOUT A FRICKIN' FLASHLIGHT, WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? ONE-PUMP CHUMP. HOW FUCKING ANNOYING. I CHANGED MY MIND, CLAIRE, YOU CAN HAVE... HEY, COME BACK, COME BACK, I NEED TO TRY AGAIN. GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE-- [ GROWLING ] [ GRUNTING ] [ SNARLING ] [ GROANING ] [ SKULL CRUNCHING ] JO! JOSEPHINE, RUN! [ SCREAMING ] [ STICKS CRACKING ] OH, SHIT!
