[Man] This is all in the cavers of our minds.

[evil laughter]

[Woman] Yeah, I would love to, James, that sounds great.

[James] Oh, that's so awesome. That's so awesome.

Okay, great. Um, I can pick you up at 7:00?

[Man] This is mom's newest movie.

Got the new movie poster up?

Yes. Do you like it?

[laughs]

What the hell?

The Mummy?

[Narrator] Marilyn Lee Miller's career is going to be facing

an uphill battle after the last low budget snoozefest

has underperformed at the box office.

No surprise there. It's terrible.

[Narrator] We're hearing in the press the B-movie actress

is planning to retire to spend more time with her son.

Sure, Marilyn. Your retirement has nothing to do with

the utter garbage you've been starring in

with these last few movies.

Do people still watch these indie films?

They're a cancer to the industry.

What a drag, and what a waste of time.

I think we need to take a long, hard look at these movies

and see if they have a place in a civilized society.

[ethereal vocalization]

[screaming]

[Man] Mom! Oh, shit. Please. No!

What did you do?

[soft music continues]

[Narrator] People still watch these indie films?

They're a cancer to the industry.

Are they creating real life monsters?

[voice echoes]

[sinister music]

Luuucy!

[Man] Chop to the bitch, chop to the boy!

Chop 'til the body's destroyed!

[Woman] For the love of God, please stop!

[Man] I'm dying.

[Woman] Oh, God! Oh!

[Boy] Where do we go?

Colin.

Dinner's almost ready if you want to join us.

Colin?

[sinister music]

[Man] Ronnie!

Where are you?

Wanna play hide and seek?

- [gunshot] - [man groaning]

[indistinct chanting together]

[together] Just like I said.

[screaming]

Did you enjoy that?

I've seen that movie 13 times, and I'm starting to hate it.

This is Doctor Dementia, your ever faithful servant.

Serving you the best way I--

What's he doing?

Same as always. Watching Marilyn's old scary movies.

That kid is obsessed.

Now you know I told you

we needed to make other arrangements for him.

The hell was I supposed to do, Patricia?

I mean, we're the only family he's got left.

I know you felt obligated because of your sister,

but there's just something really off about him.

He's- I don't know, he's--

He's cracked, and he's a fucking freak.

Kasie, language.

Excuse me for speaking the truth.

Maybe he just misses his mom.

Yeah. Thank you, Captain Obvious.

That still doesn't change the fact that he's creepy.

Did you tell your father about the little mishap the other day?

What mishap?

I came home to find my underwear drawer open.

Someone had been going through it.

The little creepo was probably sniffing her panties.

Yeah, and that's not all.

I swear I caught him staring at me in the shower this morning.

And I've caught him in my room multiple times,

just standing over me, watching me sleep.

Yeah. Me too.

It's all of those movies he watches.

Come on.

Just because he's obsessed with scary movies

[scoffs] doesn't mean he's some sort of psycho.

Just give him a motel and he's practically Norman Bates.

[ominous piano notes]

Why do you still have your costume on?

Logan. Shh.

Let's eat everyone.

This chili smells funny.

Eat it, brat.

It smells... different.

[Patricia] Just eat your peanut butter sandwich, Logan.

Colin, you should eat something.

[Bennett] You're just going to stare at it?

Okay.

[sinister music increases]

Bennett?

[Woman] I called them.

Please just let me go right now!

[wincing]

[voice whispering] Colin...

[whispering]

Colin, this isn't you!

[voice whispering] My boy...

[Detective] End of the line, Rondo.

We know you committed those murders.

You're not going to hurt anybody else, you ice cream fuck!

Attention!

I got a little prescription for you.

Come on, here. Close. Close, close, close.

You know we're just getting started.

[voice whispering] Kill...

[heavy thudding]

[Eleanor screaming]

[Announcer] We'll be right back with more Doctor Dementia

and our double creature feature on channel 18 superstation.

[sinister music]

[door creaking]

I wish I could make it stop.

No matter what, I...

I can't bring her back.

Ironic.

Isn't it?

She made scary movies.

Now I'm...

making my own.

When they stare into the dark from this moment forward...

they'll see me.

You'll see me, too.

I'll come back for you.

[tense music]

[music intensifies]

If you don't like this movie,

I don't know how I can help you.

Yeah, well, our town is known for a B-movie scream queen

offing herself, so.

Yeah.

What is that?

I don't know.

Got some guy from "Night of the Living Dead" in it.

Oh. Very cool.

Yeah. I've been waiting for Romero

to make a new zombie flick.

I think "The Crazies" was a lot scarier than "Night" or "Dawn".

Okay. Blasphemy.

But to each their own, I guess.

70's and 80's were the golden age of horror.

Yeah, they don't make 'em like they used to.

Even though you take them way too seriously.

Horror movies are life, okay?

- It's-- - Oh, god.

It's like, about releasing your fears and facing them.

People are empowered by...

facing their real life bullshit.

Yeah. Can you just stop it with all that shit?

It's true.

You know, can we just keep movies as an escape?

The best horror movies have something to say.

The best movies, including horror,

- suspend reality. - Okay.

People need to shut up and eat their popcorn.

No. How can you watch "I Spit on Your Grave"

or "The Hills Have Eyes" and think it's an escape.

Because it's a movie.

It's not real!

Hmm. Okay.

Well, Grandma, what kind of movies do you like?

Um...

"The Howling" was really good.

The original, not the porno sequels.

- That's fair. - You know,

people watch movies

for the same reason they go on rollercoasters.

The thrill should be fun.

- [door bell rings] - [Big Dan] Heya, cookies!

Oh, boy.

Hey, toots.

What does that even mean?

This is the 90's, not the 40's.

The 90's suck.

Give me gangsters, bootleggers, and the jitterbug.

Ain't that right, Gran-Gran?

Big Gran-Gran to you.

I think I'm gonna stick with the right to vote in Nintendo.

Hey, my beautiful ladies.

Guys, I love the costumes.

Beka, you look stunning.

Thank you.

And Big Dan, you're...

Richard Simmons?

Yeah. I don't know who that is.

I'm a vintage fitness instructor.

Right. Richard Simmons.

Yeah.

Quinn, where's your costume? We got to get out of here.

We have so many epic things planned.

You guys keep alluding to that,

but I don't know what's going on.

In the words of Pinhead,

"we have such sights to show you".

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

I love you.

[Sybil] Love you. Have fun guys.

[Man] Load their men onto the dock.

[Quinn] Where is the rest of this gang?

You know, doing stuff. Working on things.

Yeah. I'm not really a fan of the surprise.

Whatever it is.

Well, I personally plan to be higher than a fruit fly on kiwi.

Okay.

Look, I have enough weed to kill a small-- ah, it's a cop!

Oh.

- Hey, Logan. - Hey, Beka.

- Quinn. - Hey.

Big Dan.

Officer Miller.

Officer Logan?

Logan Miller. My dude.

[Big Dan] Okay.

What are you doing?

I'm just getting ready to head in and start my shift.

By the looks of it, you guys are headed to the event.

We are.

Cool. Now then, I...

guess I'll see you around at some point tonight.

Yeah.

So fun.

We have to get the Princess of Punctuality ready.

So, bye Lo.

[Logan] Yeah. Hey, you guys, be safe.

So awkward.

Yeah, he's like a real life final boy.

He's lived through a horror movie.

That too.

That was one time.

Two times.

Yeah. Officer Miller needs a little bit of...

this and a little bit of that.

Right, Quinn?

You're disgusting.

What'd I say? Am I wrong?

What did I say?

[crowd cheering]

Welcome to the first, and certainly not the last,

Grave Rave event here in Carpenter Falls.

[cheering]

We want to thank Julia.

- Thank you. - [cheering]

I'd like to thank the Pioneer Playhouse

and the Marilyn Lee Miller Museum for hosting this event.

[cheering]

Now, without further ado,

please join me in welcoming our very own

Erin Palmer!

[cheering and applause]

Let's talk Halloween.

For most people,

they grow up scared of ghosts and boogeymen.

It's not the same for us in Carpenter Falls.

30 years ago, B-movie scream queen and our hometown hero,

Marilyn Lee Miller, took her own life,

thus sending her only child into madness and insanity.

The 15 year old then went on to murder his uncle's entire family

before disappearing into the night forever.

[Julia] Don't believe me?

The only living survivor from that horrific slaying

is here tonight.

Mr. Logan Miller.

[scattered applause]

[Julia] After that night,

Colin Miller ceased to exist.

[tense, unsettling music]

And the legend of the Boy from Below was born.

[haunting vocalizing]

Beware the Boy from Below.

[crowd] The sad, tormented, vengeful soul.

[crowd] You may see him, you might.

His curse will continue on Halloween night.

Happy Halloween everyone.

[cheering and applause]

Cheers. All of us.

[hard rock music plays]

That was epic as hell, babe.

Thanks, babe.

Mhm.

[Big Dan] Oh, yes, mami.

Why don't you take me back to your van

and whisper sweet nothings into my ear?

Ignore him.

Big Dan's just salty

because Heather won't give him the time of day.

And you can extra salty deez nuts.

I'm so done with you.

- No you're not. - That's true.

[Quinn] So what's the 411 on the surprise?

And if it's Big Dan spiking my drink,

then I think we're all in for a surprise tonight.

[Julia] Trust me.

Your friends thought this night was long overdue, so

we cooked up a little something something for you.

Cheers to that.

And to Quinn having a social life again.

Woo!

Why is everyone so obsessed with my social life?

I mean...

Maybe because you don't actually have one?

Bro.

Uh, I'm gonna use the restroom.

Oh.

You. Not nice.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

Sorry, guys.

Some fucker at the bar was talking my ear off

trying to pick me up.

Seriously almost blew my rape whistle.

Oh, that's Harper.

He's always smelled like tequila and Drakkar Noir to me.

[Erin] He's fine when he's sober.

Hold up. I'm still stuck on this rape whistle.

Like, is that a real thing?

What?

Do not blow that.

I got something she can blow.

- Stop it. - Beka.

You know, I must say,

your costume is an improvement from last year's.

Remember, you wore the little plaid skirt and we thought

you looked like Velma from Scooby Doo?

Contrary to your point of view,

Halloween isn't exactly an excuse to dress up like...

a dirty slut.

Awe.

Thank you.

See you guys.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Officer.

- Hey, fellas. - My man.

Get your skinny ass- Sit down.

Have a drink with us. Come on.

How do you put up with this?

I've been doing it my whole life.

I grew up with this kid right here.

Sit down. One drink.

You're being rude. Come on. Pop a squat.

So, uh, how's life at the marina?

It's quiet.

Still on the houseboat?

[laughing]

Yeah, I am.

What's wrong? You look like-

You look like you've seen a ghost.

He does this all the time, tearing up.

I bet you right now his hands are so moist,

he can't even pick up that goddamn beer.

[laughing] Knock it off.

Knock it off.

You don't have to take that from him.

It's fine, Chief. I'm used to it.

All right. Okay. All right. Listen.

I know Halloween, it's a bit of a trigger point for you.

I'm just trying to bring a little bit of levity

to the situation, all right?

Maintaining composure is a part of what we do.

You are literally the opposite of composure, Goodman.

The fuck does that mean?

It means you're a bull in a fucking china shop.

[laughs]

All right, all right, look.

I'm about to go say goodbye to my little girl over there,

and call it an evening.

And you two.

don't start any fires

that I'm going to have to put out tomorrow.

Copy that.

Night, Chief.

All right.

Chug chug chug!

Chug chug chug chug!

[chanting continues]

Who is this chick?

I told you, she's dope!

You weren't lying. How long was that?

Somebody took time?

I went to five...

I'm getting that twice.

Somebody's gotta pay up.

[Cooper] Well, well.

Would you look who we have here?

[Quinn] Cooper. Jojo. How are you?

How's it going, hot stuff?

[Cooper] Let me ask you something, Quinn.

How come we've never...

hooked up?

Must be your winning personality, you know? Just...

too much for me to bear.

Ever have a three way?

Phone call?

Yeah. You guys have fun.

Whoa whoa whoa.

You know what I think is funny?

You run around here covering those rotten ass tattoos,

acting like society owes you something,

and it's all just a desperate cry for attention.

Here I am, giving you the chance to slob on my knob,

and you're turning me down.

Come on, man, you ain't got the right equipment, bro.

She's playing for the other team.

I can change that.

[Max] Hey! Fuck off!

Get lost, bitch.

You think I don't know what you are?

I don't give a fuck what you know.

Imagine what everyone will say about you after I'm done

kicking your ass and shattering your fragile ego.

You're gonna leave Quinn alone,

or I'll handle you and dumb fuck over there.

[Logan] Is everything cool over here?

Yeah. Peachy.

Never been better.

I was just telling Max here

that I'm so glad she's back in town,

and I'll be seeing her around.

Come on, dude, let's get out of here.

This stuff doesn't scare you?

That's kind of the point.

Point taken.

Uh. Let's see.

Here we go.

- There you go. - Thank you.

Oh, well, thank you, sir. And... be safe.

I will. Thanks.

- Thank you. - You bet. Bye.

[sighs]

Okay.

You've been looking at this shelf for a while now.

There something I can help you find before we have to close?

Sorry. Just a little indecisive.

No problem. Let me see.

You strike me as a man who loves action and horror,

but only horror if it's story driven.

Oh. Don't ask. It's a gift.

Um,

this is the one for you.

Right on the money.

Mhm. Solid story.

Really thrilling action sequences and good suspense.

And the actors that play the couple?

Really great chemistry.

Well I'm sold.

Check it out.

Is it a love story?

Oh, I think you'll dig it.

Okay, we're heading to a cabin with some friends.

Figured we'd pick something up, so.

- Yeah. - Fine.

We're good?

This is what the lady says. I think we should listen.

All right. I'll catch you at the counter.

- Finally. Thank you. - Shut up.

[foreboding music]

I promise you. I'll be gentle.

[bar chatter]

[tv] After her!

[Jojo] Remind me again.

Why am I here?

[Cooper] Because you suck at fending off peer pressure.

Those lesbians have me so fucking pissed off.

I just need to release some of this pent up frustration.

Do you ever wonder what it's like?

[Cooper] What?

Hook up with a dude?

Why would you think that?

Are you some sort of fag?

- No! - Hey.

Hey, eyes up here.

You better not be checking out my ass.

Go!

[Jojo] Sorry, bucko. We didn't see you there.

Oh, shit.

He's digging up that Marilyn Miller.

Hey.

What the hell do you think you're doing here?

[Cooper] I'm talking to you, Chewbacca.

[tense music]

- [thud] - [Cooper groans]

[dramatic music]

[squelch]

[blood spurting]

No! No!

[Cooper] Leave me alone! I want to go home!

No!

No! Just want to go home!

Twisted Turbo, available everywhere, now!

Welcome back to late night horror theater.

[woman screaming on tv]

[Man] Woo!

[knocking]

So I guess our plan didn't go as well as we all had hoped?

You knew about this?

I might have had a hand in it.

Unbelievable. I can't trust anybody.

Hey, we all just want what's best for you.

You think someone abandoning me is what's best for me?

Okay, Moody Blues.

I understand why you're angry at Max.

It was shitty how she just took up and left.

But give her an opportunity to explain.

Why should I?

Quinn.

you don't have to pretend with me.

I saw how close the two of you were.

Okay, well, her leaving negated any feelings.

Okay? Why can't she just tell me why she did it?

If I could play devil's advocate here for just a minute.

I remember both of you

dreaming of a life outside of Carpenter Falls.

Well, some of us have responsibilities.

Oh, honey, please.

Please. You mean you want to live with this old broad

and run a video store the rest of your life?

Come on, Grandma.

All I'm saying is just...

don't make a decision out of anger.

Those usually can't be undone.

Can't play it safe all your life, sweetie.

[exhales]

[foreboding music]

Well, somebody missed out.

Last night's Grave Rave was a smash hit.

Great!

There are so many ways

we can capitalize on the legacy of Marilyn Lee Miller.

And this is just the beginning!

I'm thinking we should do something

with the old Miller property.

I mean, look what Graceland has done for the city of Memphis.

Millions and millions in added tax revenue.

International tourist destination.

I'm thinking that old property

could be Carpenter Falls' Graceland.

Looks like you've got it all figured out, Mayor Bloomberg.

Well, yeah.

I mean, people from all over would come to experience

the rich history of a silver screen legend.

And you know what that means?

Thank you.

Do you know what that means?

That means that your little video store over here

could experience big business, too.

Oh, well, that would be interesting.

Yes. Very interesting.

Yeah, I agree, I'm about to go over to Julia's right now

and work out all the details.

This town needs a boost like this!

- [phone vibrating] - Excuse me.

My cellular phone is vibrating.

Bloomberg.

Hey, Alice.

Yeah.

What do you mean, at the cemetery?

They found what?

Oh, God.

I feel so bad for Logan Miller.

Shit. Show of a family and now guys like that

are trying to capitalize on his tragedy.

It's fucked up.

Yeah, well, screw Bloomberg.

He's a slimeball.

[door bell rings]

[rock music plays on radio]

Open heart, open mind.

[Beka] Hey, babe.

Hey.

Are you okay?

We are so sorry.

We just care about you, and...

we wanted to do something nice for you.

I get it.

Um, yeah. No. I'm sorry.

I kind of flipped my shit on you guys last night.

So does that mean you don't want to kill us anymore?

- I think so. - Quinn?

I just want you to know I had nothing to do with their plan.

I'm sorry they're stupid.

Anyways.

We messed things up big time, and--

No, listen. I get it, okay?

It was-

It was a lot of different emotions, that's all.

But I'll be fine.

You say that a lot.

Like a whole lot.

But we still love you.

And... so does Max.

[tender music]

Where is she?

[Max] If it makes a difference,

I thought you knew I was coming.

I thought...

I thought you wanted me to be here.

Where did you go, Max?

You just- you left, and you didn't tell anyone.

I couldn't say anything.

Why not?

Because...

because it was easier that way.

Yeah, easier for you.

It wasn't easy for me. I-

I needed you. I needed my best friend.

You're right.

I should have told you.

I just wanted to be free of this place and all the bullshit.

I'm sorry, Quinny.

I guess it is kind of cool, seeing you.

It's good to see you, too.

I'm sorry I went nuclear on you.

You deserved it, but...

I shouldn't have gone off on a friend like that.

Ah.

I see.

A friend.

Yeah. You're my oldest friend.

Yeah. To be honest, Quinn,

that was one of the reasons I had to go.

Being your friend, it wasn't enough for me anymore.

Yeah, well, I don't know if I was- or if I'm...

I mean, you have never had a problem

being who you are, and...

for me,

I'm being all of these different things for different people,

and I'm tired.

And I just don't have the energy to be who I need to be for me.

You'd be surprised who and what I have a problem being.

You're stronger than you give yourself credit for.

I don't know how they got past me.

I was awake all night in my office

watching reruns of "Chiller Theater".

Never heard or saw a thing.

Well, those two are notorious for getting in trouble.

I mean, you know, it's still just awful.

When I found them...

Wait.

What if that piece of shit comes back for me?

Calm down.

We don't have any of that information just yet.

In the meantime,

it'd be a good idea for you to take a few days off.

Oh, that's really going to help me.

It will.

Just a few days.

All right. Well, if that's what you think.

- Thanks, Chief. - All right. Thank you.

Hey, chief. I came as soon as I heard.

Yeah.

Poor bastards.

Jojo took a hatchet to the forehead,

and Cooper

got hollowed out.

Jesus Christ.

Look. I know this is your family and all,

but do you have any idea

of who would want to take her body?

Her body?

Marilyn's body.

It's missing.

Somebody dug her up.

[foreboding music]

[threatening piano notes]

[tv] From the outermost edges of space...

Oh, hold up there, gang bangers.

We're so gonna die.

Don't lose your shit, Jonesy.

Lieutenant Tate got us through the Battle of Apex Station.

He'll get us through this, right Gus?

No doubt, no doubt.

[Erin] Behold the conquering heroes.

Thanks, babe. You're the best.

Oh, thank Heather for buying.

Okay. Apparently, Heather's the best.

Thank you, Heather.

Thanks, Heather.

You're all welcome.

Oh, look at you and your little chicken nuggies.

Fuck me, that's hot! Mm!

[tv] Get help.

What's that hemorrhoid looking thing on the wall?

I don't know what it is,

but they've taken out decks one through nine.

But I promise you,

I'll be getting you guys home for potatoes and mash.

I'll get y'all--

[Big Dan] This is possibly the greatest movie ever made.

[Erin] I think you're reaching with that statement.

Almost as much as you're reaching for Avery's cock.

Oh, gag me with a spoon.

[Avery] I don't know about you guys, but

I've had enough of this vagina frog monster from outer space

bullshit or whatever the hell it is you've got us watching.

Yeah. I think it's time we get this party started, huh?

With one from our own local celebrity

and scream queen herself, Marilyn Miller?

No!

Her acting is bad, bad.

Uh, this is a masterpiece.

[Erin] Please.

The only thing this has going for it is the title.

Other than that, it's like...

a rip off of Friday the 13th and Aliens.

Exactly why I don't watch stuff like this.

Just cheap imitations of better shit.

Can we watch something with a story?

I don't know, something that's not just

tits, ass, potatoes and mash.

[laughing]

Finally, someone who shares my taste in movies.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sure you share a lot more than tastes in movies.

Don't worry, Heather, they're just showing off.

Uh, yeah, because we're real horror fans.

Being from Carpenter Falls and all, it's kind of a given.

Dude, look at the tits on that chick! Oh my god!

Don't listen to him, Heather.

I mean, he clearly only watches horror for the tits.

So? I like boobs.

Yeah. Who doesn't?

[tv] I was faking it so hard all night.

Pissed!

[Woman] I'm just saying,

More people disappear on Halloween

than any other night of the year.

And it just so happens more horror movies are rented

on Halloween than any other time of the year.

[Man] You're not suggesting horror movies

have something to do with disappearances.

[Woman] I'm saying we should take a better look at this.

[Man] Sure, people rent scary movies and are inspired

to become ax murderers.

[turns power off]

- [thud] - [yelps]

[Sybil] Uh, I didn't know anybody was in here.

Uh, sir? I'm- I'm closed.

Maybe you could come back tomorrow.

[threatening music]

Okay. Uh.

Uh, if you could hurry and make your selection,

I'll take you up to the counter.

[heavy footsteps]

Ah!

Well.

A Marilyn Lee Miller fan.

Shocker. She was originally from here, you know.

Okay.

Uh.

[music intensifies]

[music climaxes, fades out]

[Quinn] You don't think Gremlins is scary?

Or poltergeist?

Dark Crystal ruined an entire generation.

- Get him, Quinn! - She likes what she likes.

Maybe "Witches" or "The Monster Squad"

isn't exactly the blood fountains that we enjoy,

but, uh, let's not pretend that "Return to Oz"

didn't completely ruin you.

Fuck "Return to Oz".

Those damn wheelers, man.

No. No, don't even, dude.

[tv] Give me a strawberry on a cone. Make it fast.

What's that stinky ass smell in here?

Bad pipes.

[gasping]

[screaming]

[Max] All right, before we change the movie,

I've got to pee and take a smoke break.

Uh, yeah. We should wait on Grammy.

She should be, um, closing down soon.

[dramatic music]

[sobbing]

Get away, get away, get away!

[intense synth music]

[Sybil] No, no!

What do you want?!

[screaming]

No!

[soft piano music]

- [Quinn] What are you doing? - Jesus!

Cool it with that walking on the wind shit.

You scared me.

Sorry, not sorry.

I was just looking at the Polaroids,

realizing how much I missed this.

That's what happens when you run away from home.

Still giving me shit, huh?

I'm just trying to make sure

that you don't make the biggest mistake of your life twice.

I'm not going anywhere without you.

How was it out there?

I wish I could be more spontaneous like you.

Quinn, you don't have to be spontaneous.

You just have to live your life for you.

Doing the things that you want to do.

Looking for someone.

And who would that be?

You'll know soon enough.

Listen, pal.

Where is everyone?

I don't know. I haven't seen them in a while.

Dan ran after Heather,

and I just assumed that everybody was getting laid.

Everyone except me.

Uh, Grammy?

That's a negative.

Do you think they all went down to the video store?

Um, I don't know.

She was supposed to be off, like, an hour ago.

Oh, shit.

Do you think Dan's getting her stoned again?

Oh, yeah, for sure he is.

Let's go.

Is that a mummy?

Hey! Hey! Look over here, Egypt boy!

[mummy snarling]

Guys?

Cut it out.

I'm not into your scary movie games.

[yelps] Fuck me!

Oh.

Uh. Yes, please?

Seriously? Fuck you, Dan.

Was that you screwing around with me?

Uh, one, it's Big Dan. And two,

I would love to screw around with you.

Yeah? Well, the undies don't lie, small fry.

You're just like my dipshit brother.

He's always trying to scare me.

Yeah, well, you shouldn't be out here in the dark by yourself.

There's, like, raccoons and shit.

What are you doing out here?

I'm protecting you from when you get scared of the dark.

I'm not scared of the dark, jerk.

Just the creepy, meepy assholes wandering around in it.

Come on, Heather.

Don't you think we should talk about this uh...

What?

This tension between us.

Usually when a guy tries this hard,

he's still holding on to his v-card.

Oh, please.

I had a threesome with my French and Spanish teachers.

I'm tri-lingual.

Well, you're confident I'll give you that.

Wait, where are you going?

Around.

Little Dan.

Yeah. They're probably dead.

Fuck.

That's terrible.

Okay, it's- it's bad. I understand.

Those troubled individuals gone too soon.

But last night's Grave Rave was incredible.

And I could totally see it being

a fixture of this town going forward.

Just like your museum is.

Wow.

Julia, this could be huge financially.

For the town, for you, for everybody.

Okay, let's just chat in a couple of days, okay?

And get the ball rolling.

I'm thinking world wide web.

I'm thinking we do something with the old Miller property.

I mean, this could be the next Graceland, huh?

What do you say?

All right, let's just chat in a couple days, okay?

Julia, I'm gonna head out for the night.

Thank you, Ken. I appreciate you.

It's another home run for us, mom.

You know what, Harper? I'm exhausted.

I'm trying to process this.

Mom, people die every day.
