B1 Boy 1
[Bridget greets at door]
Hey, Bridget. Mom's on nights and we're watching all the Freddy movies in a row. Even the shitty ones.
B2 Boy 2
There aren't any shitty ones.
B1 Boy 1
So, you, um, wanna come over and...
Bridget
In your dreams. [closes door]
K Kass
Your boyfriends are weirdos.
Bridget
You're the weirdo. [Kass gut pokes Bridget with mop handle]
Danny
Was Bangkok awesome?
Beth
Insane. Crazy, obsessive fans over there.
Danny
Did you drink snake blood?
Bridget
Hey, that's culturally insensitive.
Danny
What about monkey brain barbecue?
Bridget
Oh, yeah. That's so much better, Dan.
Beth
Who's your friend, Kass?
K Kass
She's called Staffanie.
Beth
Oh. Hey, Staffanie. What's her, uh, situation?
K Kass
Danny told me that when this building used to be a bank, a teller got caught stealing and "hunged" himself and if you walk around with coins in your pockets, his ghost hears the jingle. And he scares you to death so he can take all your money.
Danny
It's true.
K Kass
If he comes after me, Staffanie will scare him to death first.
Beth
Ghosts aren't real.
K Kass
Have you ever seen one?
Beth
Mmm-mmm.
K Kass
Then how do you know they don't exist?
Beth
Because... I only believe what I can see. [holds up bracelet and puts it on Kass's wrist]
Beth
It's for badass rock chicks only.
K Kass
[giggles softly, turns and holds up wrist]
Look, Mom. I'm a badassǃ
Ellie
Please don't indoctrinate her into your groupie world.
Beth
Your mom's favorite nickname for me, even though she knows I'm a guitar technician.
Ellie
If you say so.
Beth
Hey, be nice or you don't get a gift. Speaking of which, check out what I got your dad. [holds up beer mug, with ensuing awkward silence] What's going on, El?
Ellie
Danny, go take my car and get pizza with your sisters.
Bridget
[Ellie attacks Beth with a glass shard impaling her hand]
Mom, stop it! [whimpers] Stop it!
Deadite Ellie
It's not my fault, Bridget.
Beth
Get away from her, Bridge'!
Deadite Ellie
What's happening to me, sweetheart?
Bridget
I don't know, Mom.
Deadite Ellie
I do. I'm free now. Free from all you titty-sucking parasites.
Bridget
Don't you think Mom looks just like one of those pictures from that book? Answer me, Danny. You never should've stolen it.
Danny
This isn't my fault.
Bridget
This is your fault! [attacks Danny]
Danny
Get off me! Get off!
Kassie
Stop it!
Beth
[stands between them]
Hey! Hey, hey!
Bridget
This is all your fault!
Beth
Hey. Hey. [to Bridget] You don't turn on each other. [to Danny] Ever.
Danny
I need to show you something.
Beth
[observing the Naturum Demento, The Book of the Dead]
What is this, Danny?
Danny
I thought I should tie her up. Just in case.
Beth
I wanna listen to that vinyl.
Danny
It's too dangerous. Those words...
Beth
Yeah, well, maybe there's words on there that can help stop all of this.
Danny
We've got no power to run a turntable.
Beth
I can fix that. [solders vinyl player power cord to battery]
Danny
[to Beth holding up records]
I listened to the first and then he spoke the words on the second.
Beth
[sighs]
I guess I'll start at the other end, then. [hands kitchen knife to Danny] Just in case.
FM Father Marcus Littleton
It is now two nights since I read aloud from the book. My want to understand and commune with the other side could not have been more misguided. I make this final recording as a warning to whoever next comes into contact with its malignant pages. Naturum Demento cannot be destroyed. When you find it, bury it deep in our secret vault, for the words I uttered have unleashed a demonic entity beyond my darkest nightmare.
Kassie
Is Bridget gonna come back like Mom?
Danny
I don't know, Kass.
FM Father Marcus Littleton
The demon possessed Cortez first, rotting him from the inside out. With the might of our Lord's words, we tried to drive out the foul entity but it mocked our prayers and took Shanahan under its control. Fellow priests came to our aid but the possession quickly spread amongst them without rhyme nor reason. [cat meows and snarls softly] This evil is not governed by the rules of man. No, it takes its pleasure in creating terror through total chaos. Desperate to end this curse, I tried to kill what were once my brothers. I led them to the woodshed and set it ablaze. But they danced in its flame and reveled in its burn. [Danny and Kassie realize Ellie is in air ducts]
Kassie
Mr. Fonda's kitty hides up there sometimes.
Danny
I don't think it's a cat.
FM Father Marcus Littleton
I buried their squirming, spitting corpses in consecrated earth. But they arose again, rotting and rage-filled.
Kassie
[Danny reaches for door handle]
Careful, Danny. [Bridget flies in room and attacks Danny]
FM Father Marcus Littleton
After hiding in the cellar for a night, I knew only one choice remained. Complete bodily dismemberment.
Deadite Bridget
Told you, you should've put the book back, Danny. [Deadite Bridget attacks Danny with knife who then attacks Bridget with an accelerant flame]
FM Father Marcus Littleton
I chopped, and I hacked, and I... I failed. [thudding] I can hear them outside the doors now, begging for me. It is only a matter of time before I am taken too. Nothing can stop this demonic force. Even its final remnants will come after you. You must run. All you can do is run! This horror will not stop until innocence is destroyed. Until evil... [in distorted voice] ...be thy name.
