Now it's time for my story. My story deals with a man

who used to live in that old dilapidated house behind those trees.

We're not supposed to be this close to it

because many strange things happen around here.

He was a farmer with his family, wife and two children. He was an evil man.

Ugly and me. He beat his wife brutally punished his children.

He drink at the tavern and fight all the time.

He once had a piece of his nose bitten off in a brawl and didn't feel a thing.

It was a night, like tonight, many, many years ago.

Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, it was the same night as tonight.

The woods, quiet and dark, the farmer, for no apparent reason, went stark, raving mad.

He walked into his bedroom with an axe in his hand

and chopped his sleepy wife into little pieces.

Then with his bloodlust, awakened, he walked down the hall to his son's room

and took an axe to him, but he still wasn't finished.

He walked across the hall to his daughter's room, and without

so much as a word, he chopped her into little pieces too.

Then he calmly walked into the tavern, lifted the

bloody axe onto the bar, and halted himself would be.

While it wasn't long before the town found out what happened, and when

it did, it was all over for the mad farmer, where so they thought.

Ten men jumped him and dragged him screaming to the nearest tree where they

quickly looked at a thick lamp around his neck and hoisted him high into the air.

One of them grabbed the bloody axe and swung it at the farmer's

head, leaving a deep bloody gash on the side of his face.

They left him there, hanging for dead.

Next morning, when they went to cut him down, he was gone.

It was then they noticed the bodies of his wife and children were missing.

And their bodies have never been found.

Oh, Max, come on. How could their bodies never be found?

I mean, where could they be?

I don't know, Richie. All I do know is that on certain nights, when the moon is full, he's out there stalking

in the woods, searching for people so he can chalk their heads off with an axe, or hang them from a tree.

You're trying to be funny or something. What's this farmer's name anyway?

Richie, I have a good reason. I haven't told you his name. A very good reason.

You see, it is said also that if you say his name above a whisper

in the woods, he will hear you, because he can be anywhere, anytime.

And if he hears you call his name, he'll come for you.

And if he comes for you, he'll get you.

One by one, he'll start to fall, before night's over. I'll get you all.

His name is Mad Mad Ma.

What do you think? I couldn't hear him.

His name is Mars. Mad Mad Ma.

Hey, Mars! Mad Mad Ma! Here we are, come and get us, Mad Mad!

Mad Mad Ma!

Oh, Richie, now you've done it. Don't you realize

you're fully with things beyond your control?

The Mad Man Mars doesn't understand anymore.

The Mad Man Mars thinks you're making fun of him.

He didn't mean it, Mars! He's young and foolish. It doesn't know what he's doing.

Stay where you are. We mean you know harm.

Let's hope that stopped him in time. If not, no one is safe in the woods tonight.

Anyone alone in the woods can't hear him. You can't see him.

You smell this odor of death, and you turn around, and

suddenly this horribly mutilated face stares down at you.

It's the last thing you see before zap off goes your head.

I hope you enjoyed my little story.

It's my way of saying goodbye, and good luck to your children.

Tomorrow, your parents will be up to spend the last weekend

before Thanksgiving, and my winter vacation down south.

I enjoyed your company. Okay, when we break, TP and the

boys will have the responsibility of killing the fire.

Everybody else will get ready for the walk back,

and remember, don't walk in the woods alone, cars.

Mad Man Mars will get you!

That's right.

Betsy, what's the Mad Man Mars?

It's nothing, honey. It's just a figment of Max's imagination.

Something he made up to scare you, that's all.

Oh, sure, did that all right. I was so scared.

I couldn't open my eyes. And it's all right.

Nobody's going to come and get me, and chop off my hair.

Don't worry, honey. Nobody's going to hurt you. I'll make sure of that, okay?

And you join the other girls, and don't worry about a thing, huh?

We're done here, all right?

Tonight? Same time?

Well, if it isn't the big brave man who scares little girls to tears.

Proud of yourself?

What's the matter?

You're scared half those kids to death, that's what's the matter.

Come on.

Betsy, it's all and fun. They enjoyed it. What about tonight?

Same time?

No, T.P. I don't think so, not tonight.

We don't have many nights left.

Yes, we do. We have the rest of our lives.

Come on, Betsy. You know you're not going to

want to see me once we get back to the city.

I'm sorry, T.P. Let's just say I hit saying goodbye.

Hey, you too. You're making this public knowledge. Say that for later.

You never give up, do you?

What's that supposed to mean?

Give a room to make up her own mind.

If you really love her, the biggest test is letting go.

Not holding on.

Come on, you guys. Let's go. We don't have all night.

Jimmy, grab some dirt over there and get that in.

Tommy, kick the stones a little closer.

Richie, come on, Richie. Come on. Move it. Move it, Richie.

Move it. I'm moving.

What'd you say?

Well, I didn't say anything. I was talking to the fire.

He didn't say nothing. I heard him.

Yeah, he lies and you swear to it.

Okay, that looks good. Let's line up.

All right. Get ready for a little double time.

I want to catch them before they reach the bungalows.

Double time in place. Go!

One two one two one two one two one two one two move out.

Let's go Go!

I don't see Richie anywhere. He must have stayed back at the campfire.

What are we gonna do? We make up his bed like he's sleeping.

Got to give him more time to get back. Richie knows what he's doing.

Oh, before I forget that beer you've got hidden in the bottom of the refrigerator, against

orders. Save me one. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Keep a sharp eye on the kids.

[Music]

I'd like to get into something a bit more personal.

Tonight you all witnessed a scene between Betsy and me.

Up at the campfire, that should have never happened. I'd like to publicly apologize to

Betsy. And to the rest of you, it's subjecting you to my petty and selfish attitude.

That's it, Bo.

[Applause]

I propose a toast. To friends and friendship, to love

and lovers, may you always have more than you need.

[Music] It's up to you.

And if you want to know just why the flowers grow,

that's okay too. But if you're gonna ask me why, I love you like I do.

I don't think I can't explain. Got no words to say it.

I'd really rather play it out with you.

Only know the feelings, chemistry revealing this simple truth.

Should you feel it too? Please let your feelings through. No, get a grip on us too.

Don't need words to know. Don't need words to know.

How I feel about you. Don't need words.

But your shindles is magic, thrills you with a slick trick. You never know.

Just how it makes it happen. Find yourself just quite thin and feeling good.

Should the magic get you high? No need to wonder why. Come with me together.

Let's count all the stars in the sky. Don't need words to know.

And how I feel about you. Don't need words.

Don't need words.

Don't need words right in the middle. You didn't let me.

Don't need words.

Don't need words.

Don't need words to know.

Don't need words to know.

Don't need words to know.

Where am I?

Don't need words.

Don't need words to know.

Okay, let's go. You can do it. Up. I sit. Go. Yes.

Don't need words.

Great fire, Bill. Thanks.

I'll have to feel the flames devour the wood.

Who says there's no beauty in destruction?

I don't think there's beauty in any kind of destruction for any reason.

I'd say that depends on the reason, for as long as our reason stays reasonable.

That's the most frightening thing about us humans.

You never really know what's in my mind at any given time.

You never know if I'm thinking rationally or if I've created

some other reality that seems to fit, that seems to be normal.

But you never really know what normal is to me. You never really know.

Dave, are you okay?

Of course I'm letting my emotions overcome my intellect. See what happens.

See how easy it is to question another human mind.

I can judge by your faces there's a question about me.

Touch of fear in your eyes. Who is this man? Where does he come from?

I could take your bodies one at a time and hide them so no one would ever find them.

I could chop off your head.

[Music]

What do you mean? Can you tell me anything about where Richie the wise guy is?

Okay, get back to sleep. Nobody leaves this cabin. That's an order.

[Music]

I'm going to try and find them.

Why don't you get Bill and Dave to help?

I lost him. It's my responsibility to find them.

So dark out there. More people look in the better.

Don't worry, I'm just going to take a quick look.

If I don't find them, I'll be back in a while to get the others.

He went in the office and stay awake.

Yes, sir.

[Music]

TP?

Nothing, it's okay. Be careful.

[Music]

Are you serious about what you said this afternoon?

Did it chuck you that much?

No. I only want you to be sure of leaving school and me.

I told you. I love you. I want to be with you. Any more doubts?

No. No more doubts.

Great moon, did I? Are you really going?

Yeah, great moon tonight.

Yeah. Let's go for a swim.

I have a better idea.

[Music] [Music] Richie?

Richie?

[Music] Richie?

[Music] Richie?

Is that you, Richie?

Come on, Richie. Come on out. I know you're in there, Richie.

Come on out, Richie.

He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

They don't make fun of me, please. Okay, I'm sorry. Don't worry so much.

I'll find him one, two, three. Keep her company till we get back, okay?

I saw something out there. I did. At least I think I did.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

TP. You out there. TP. Richie.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

TP. TP, where are you? Richie.

[Music]

Stacy, don't you ever know? Sorry, I don't usually bust in like

this, but we need to bolt up in the office. What's the matter?

I don't know. Richie's been missing since the campfire, and TP went to find him, and then Dave went to find

them, and nobody's returned yet. So I figured it would be better for all available for duty, so to speak.

How long have they been going? I don't know for sure. Too long as far as I'm concerned.

I gotta get back. Sorry again, you two. Don't rush, but hurry. If you know what I mean.

We're coming. Be right there.

[Music]

[Music]

I don't like it. I wish Max would get back. He always knows what to do in an emergency.

Easy, Ellie. This isn't exactly an emergency. Max would do what we're doing. We gotta search for a lost kid. Only TP should

have called the whole group together instead of going off on his own. The more people you have searching, the better it is.

What are you gonna do? I wanna catch up with Stacy. What about you?

Well, if it's better to have more people looking, then I'll go with you.

You okay here alone? Alone. I've got five kids to look after. Who's alone? Only get

back as soon as you can. I don't want Max to find everybody gone. He's funny that way.

We'll gather the group and come right back. Good. That's what I wanna hear.

[Music] Ritchie?

Dave? Ritchie?

[Music] [Music] Dave?

Ritchie?

[Music] Dave?

Where are you?

[Music] Dave?

Are you hurt?

[Music] [Music] Stacy?

Stacy?

[Music]

There's the pickup. Yeah, I see it. These are the woods already.

Look, the campfire area is that way. If you move close to

the trail, and I go this way, we'll make a complete circle.

Be careful. You too. Are you ready?

Ready as I'll ever be.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music] I see myself.

Do you want to wait here or come with me? Why can't we go back to the office?

What good is that? Let's find out for sure what you saw, if anything at all, okay?

Okay. I don't like going with my hand.

I don't see anything, Ellie.

[Music] Nothing.

Yeah. Let's go back now.

Okay. Let's go.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I've got to find the others. Gotta see if anybody's alive.

Drive directly to the police station. Don't stop for anything.
