"(Screaming) Josh!" "I'm Kurt Loderwith MTV news." "The film is The Blair Witch Project." "One of the scariest films of all time..." "I was terrified." "Oh, it scared me to death..." "It all started with light heart and the there documentary filmmakers armed with a 16mm camera and a video camcorder head into the Black Hills forests of Maryland to make a movie about a legendary witch and they're never heard from again." "There's no doubt about of the box-office success on The Blair Witch Project." "What's not clear is whether the legend is true." "So far the fans are not only flocking to the multiplex they are flowing the little town Burkittsville, Maryland." "People have started coming to Burkittsville as if itwere Charles Manson's The Spahn Ranch or Ed Gein the serial Killer's house, to visit a haunted place." ""Burkittsville isn't a haunted place. "" ""It's a place that a fictional movie was set in. "" "I wasn't able to see the movie when it came out, because I was in the hospital." "But as soon as they let me out..." "I was at the movie theatre seventeen times in a row." "The web-site sold me." "The web-site, you know has all these police photos and official police things all this information you really believe it." "Our stick men sold so well on the internet that we started selling them in the yard." "Ant then somebody came by to buy them and they wanted rocks." "So we got rocks out of my rock garden but I didn't want to get rid of them so he offered me $10 after he started booting it up more." "His wife really wanted them, so we sold them to him." "We sold some on the internet but not many." "It costs too much to ship a rock." "Everybody that comes is like this." "I'm so used to being on video." "I make sure, if I go to my car, or to get the paper that I at least have full makeup on, and a great night-gown." "I wish that they'd used a fictitious town and possibly thought ahead toward what type of repercussions could come from using the word documentary in their advertising, and on their web-site." "Get out of these woods, and go home!" "There was no goddamn Blair Witch!" "You know, there are a lot of naysayers who come and say nay but then there is supporters who come up to my town, come up to me." "They run up to me, they stop..." "Hey, Selena!" "They come over to me, they hug me, and say, "Dude, I know it's real. " and they squeeze me, and I say, "I know it's real, too" and we have a bond." "I say, "I know, and they go, I know, man," and I go, "I know"..." "(Screaming)" "You think you're a wise ass?" "I didn't do anything wrong!" "(Yelling)" "Enough!" "(Music fades)" "They found blood in the van." "(Woman) Could you turn that down?" "(Man) I'm just trying to set the mood for the mission." "That's sweet, but I feel like I'm gonna toss." "She's been feeling queasy." "No need to explain." "Your comfort is my concern." "Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Stephen Ryan Parker, who has three names, so he must be from Boston." "Apparently he's here researching a book with his girlfriend." "The book's title is..." "Blair Witch History Or Hysteria." "Hysteria Or History." "Why is it you guys can't get on the same page about the witch?" "We've always been misunderstood." "We embrace nature, not evil." "Thank you, Erica." "(Erica laughing)" "Not only a hottie, but a real witch!" "Blessed be." "Wiccan..." "Wicc it good. (Laughing)" "(Stephen) Wait, why are we slowing down?" "This is where your other tour mate wants to meet." "She's a little weird." "She thinks she's psychic or some shit." "When did you last talk to her?" "E- mail, two days ago." "Are you sure she'll be here?" "Yeah." "Kim!" "Kim?" "Yo." "Is that her?" "Kim?" "Yeah." "I'm Jeff." "I figured." "What are you doing there?" "Trying to find the energy." "Inside the grave?" "To stand up." "I'm exhausted." "I've been on the road two days." "Want a hand?" "I want amphetamines." "Weed is what I've got, beer I'm gonna get." "Both - now." "(Jeff) That's right, friends." "For two luxurious days and nights, my friends, you will walk the same path the witch herself once walked, sleep on the same soil where her victims' blood was spilled." "Possibly losing your own souls in the process." "I want to thank you all for coming on the inaugural tour of the Blair Witch-Hunt." "Inaugural?" "You've never done this?" "Never." "That's not what your web-site said." ""Over 10,000 satisfied customers. "" "No, that's my web-store." "Stick men, t-shirts, official Blair dirt." "Tours?" "We're all virgins on this bus!" "Here?" "You drove by a huge Safeway two miles back." "That was in Burkittsville." "I don't shop there." "I don't even piss there." "(Kim) Hell of a town you got here." "What century are they living in?" "The gene pool's a little shallow here." "Dive in, you'll crack your skull open." "(Jeff) Ok." "Where are we going first?" "The ruins of Rustin Parr's house." "(Erica) That guy who heard the voices to kill, right?" "(Jeff) Yeah, seven little kids." "(Kim) I hear voices all the time." "(Cracking)" "Do we need all this shit for a walk in the woods?" "The Blair Witch-Hunt provides all amenities while you risk certain death and dismemberment." "Give it up." "What's with all this camera stuff?" "To record all occult phenomena that may manifest itself in the course of the tour." "Damn, you're really running Bullshit Central, aren't you?" "If you don't believe in the witch, why the hell did you bother to come?" "I thought the movie was cool." "How much further?" "Couple more miles." "Jesus!" "So how far along are you?" "What do you mean?" "The baby." "How many weeks?" "Six." "You don't want to keep it, do you?" "No." "But Stephen wants the baby." "Yes." "How do you know?" "I don't know." "What are you gonna do?" "I don't know." "(Jeff) Welcome to the Parr ruins, ladies and gentlemen." "It's supposed to be where they found Heather's footage." "(Tristen) These markings are incredible." "(Erica) Ancient witches' alphabet." "(Stephen) Looks like recent graffiti." "(Tristen) They're so realistic." "It's a little scary." "Actually, some of these symbols are positive." "Only those who don't understand witchcraft would be afraid of them." "And remember, fear... is the forerunner of failure." "Ok." "What's the story with this tree?" "What tree?" "Look behind you." "(Jeff) Where the fuck did this come from?" "This was never here before." "Nice try, dude." "What does that mean?" "Maybe you should drop the tree bit from your next tour." "No, no, I'm not making this up." "I need a beer." "Me, too." "Hey, geniuses, explain to me why a house built in 1826 was built around a tree." "This would have been sticking straight through the living room." "Jeff, nobody's scared." "(Screaming)" "(Erica) Evil intent in the ground, may a release soon be found." "In peace, release the energy that be from my magic." "Are you casting some kind of evil spell?" "Widdershins" " Reversing the evil." "The first law of wicca is "Harm none"." "Cos whatever you do is going to come back threefold." "The karma's a bitch." "What are you really doing?" "Communing with Elly Kedward." "The Blair Witch?" "I thought you embraced nature, not evil." "You don't understand." "Elly... was a good witch." "She was an earth child, like me." "She's gonna be my mentor." "You've spoken with her?" "Not yet... but I will." "That's why I'm here." "To shed my mortal coil... and commune with Elly." "(Tristen) Have you ever seen her picture?" "I don't think there are any." "Stephen and I found one." "Check it out." "We think it was drawn before they banished her from Blair." "Banished, my ass." "They dragged her into the woods in the middle of winter, and tied her to a fucking tree to die." "You make her sound helpless." "Can't witches summon powerful energy?" "We can..." "but we still have to eat, shit, and die like the rest of you." "We just look good doing it." "Why do you need all these cameras?" "I'm personally hoping for an Elly Kedward sighting." "I've got a big beta for a quality master." "I got a night vision, an infrared, a cute little mini dv, handhelds for everyone... and this baby can even do frame-a-second time lapse." "If anything comes in for a visit, we're gonna catch it." "May I have permission to take this leaf?" "Thank you." "(Erica) Evil intent in the ground, may your release soon be found." "And peace release the energy that be from my magic." "So mote it be." "Evil intent in the ground, may your release soon be found." "And peace release the energy that be from my magic." "So mote it be." "Ok, wait..." "How many Heather Donahues does it take to screw in a light bulb?" "How many?" "Just one!" "(Laughter) Just one of them!" "Do you know what I could never figure out?" "What's that?" "Blair Witch Project, Ok?" "Two guys and a girl, sleeping in the same tent night after night, and no sex?" "It makes no sense." "You're so right." "I mean, they were scared out of their minds, and the greatest stress reliever right at their fingertips... and nothing." "I'm a little stressed." "Try some more weed." "Ok." "The Bermuda Triangle." "It's a place in the world that's been created by hysteria by people's own psychology, by their own ideas of the place." "We were already a persecuted minority." "This whole Blair Witch thing set us back 300 years." "We're back in the burning times." "It fucked up our image." "Erica, people fear what they don't understand." "You must realise that." "No shit." "People think that I drink blood, that I sacrifice children that I worship the devil just because I'm a wiccan." "Where I come from, people think because I dress in black," "I'm some kind of sick killer or something." "I don't even believe in the devil." "Ok?" "That's a Christian concept." "I believe in nature." "I hate nature." "Myth, for me... right?" "...is just myth." "It's not history, it's not metaphor and it's definitely not the truth..." "Stephen, stories like this happen because they exist in a place of truth because there's historical evidence, there's fact." "That's what you don't understand." "(Jeff) I want to make a film." "Wicca..." "A Way Of Life." "Nice." "Yeah." "Wait, wait..." "Check this out." "Look at everyone." "Everyone is obsessed with the Blair Witch for their own reasons, including us." "Goth..." "A Way Of Life." "A documentary on you." "All real, all video." "Video never lies, Kim." "Film does, though." "Everyone wants to see something." "I'm telling you, hysteria and delusions, they breed in situations like this." "Why are you applying rational thought to mythology?" "Because if people believe something enough, isn't it real?" "Perception is reality." "You're not listening to me." "Babe, I know what you're saying, I just think it's bullshit." "I think you're being a monomaniacal reductionist." "(Eerie shrieking)" "What the hell was that?" "I heard that, too." "Burkittsville's funniest home videos!" "You scared the shit out of me, man!" "It answered every single one of your wet dreams." "What are you guys doing here?" "We've got a tour group, the Blair Witch Walk." "What's your excuse?" "Tour group, the Blair Witch-Hunt." "You're supposed to look out for stuff like this." "This is so not happening!" "We have jurisdiction." "We have permits." "Yeah?" "From Cravens?" "Let me see 'em." "They're in the car." "Bullshit!" "Let's put it this way, one of us is staying - it's us or you, and it looks like us, bitch!" "It's gonna come back at you threefold." "What?" "In the wiccan..." "Shut up!" "Your balls will fall off in three days." "Yo, guys, guys, I think I can settle this." "Just give us till dawn, then we're out of here." "We're cold, we're tired..." "and we're a little shook up." "We saw something up at Coffin Rock today." "Yeah..." "Yeah, up at Coffin Rock." "It scared the shit out of us." "Guys, stop talking about it, because I'm gonna freak." "I just want to go home." "Can we see this thing..." "Coffin Rock?" "Blair Witch?" "Go to Coffin Rock." "It's your money, Greta." "Next time, take the Blair Witch Walk." "Next time, take the Blair Witch-Hunt." "Here's my card." "Call." "I'm on the web." "(Giggling)" "They were never seen again." "Their footage was found a year later... underexposed, and useless." "I don't trust that these assholes aren't coming back." "They're going to be pissed that we took the foundation." "I don't think it's anything to worry about." "Besides..." "We're gonna be up all night, baby!" "(Howling)" "Giddy-up!" "We'll just keep our eyes open." "They're not coming back." "Why do you think that?" "I just do." "(Kim) I'll be back in a minute." "Up all night!" "How do your parents feel... about having a witch for a daughter?" "My father is an Episcopal minister, in a one-church-town back in Munnsville, Illinois." "Yeah." "That's a bummer." "How many beers is that for you?" "I'm serious!" "You're drinking like a fish." "I just think you should take care of yourself." "Jesus!" "We've already gone through this once today already." "(Man screaming)" "(Girl panting)" "(Baby crying)" "What's going on?" "What the fuck...?" "This is my work." "This is all my research." "Our work." "Every word." "Where the fuck are my cameras?" "(Stephen) This is all of our goddamn work!" "How the hell are we gonna make the deadline?" "We backed it up on computer." "No, Tristen, that was just notes." "Half this shit is original documents." "Where the hell was everybody?" "We were all supposed to be awake." "Guys, where's Erica?" "I'm right here." "We must have fallen asleep." "Asleep?" "It's like we must have blacked out!" "The last thing I remember was that other group." "Yeah... those fucking dickweeds!" "Who else could it have been, huh?" "They came back from Coffin Rock, and ripped us off!" "Ripped?" "These things look like they were bit off." "I" " I-I..." "What am I gonna do?" "At least the tapes are still here." "What?" "The tapes." "They're here." "Where?" "Do you see them?" "In my mind, I see them." "Oh, Jesus." "You fuck." "They're there!" "Where they found the Blair Witch tapes?" "You've got to be kidding me." "Come on!" "Why would they be in there?" "Newsflash, everybody..." "That was just a movie." "I don't know why, Stephen." "They're under the rocks." "There's nothing in there." "Reach inside." "Well...?" "I don't feel so hot." "Jeff, is there anything in there?" "(Erica) Jesus Christ." "How did those get in there?" "Are they yours?" "I think we should leave." "How did you know?" "I don't know." "Are they yours?" "Did you put them there?" "Did you?" "!" "Jeff, are they your tapes?" "Yeah, they're my tapes!" "Then, why are they still here?" "Why is the equipment trashed, the cameras are gone, but not the tapes?" "She's right." "Wouldn't those guys want to fuck up your tour footage?" "Stephen, I want to leave." "How did this happen?" "Oh, fuck!" "Jesus Christ, the baby." "We found blood in the van." "Tristen had a miscarriage." "You know that, Cravens." ""She bled in the van on the way to the hospital. "" "This girl's hypothermic." "Get me heating blankets and a lamp." "It's like she's been sitting in ice water." "We were just camping." "(Cravens) "The doctor thinks it's hypothermia. "" "Course, the way I see it you brought her out here, you took her into those woods." "She's your responsibility." "Are you charging me with something?" "You have been... a pain in this town's ass since you were 10." "You need to learn to stay out of trouble, boy." "It makes you defensive..." "Anxious." "Last thing you need is to end up back in the loony bin." "How is she?" "She lost the baby." "The doctor will keep you here till your temperature stabilises." "You lost a lot of blood." "More than usual." "It's for the best." "Your body is telling you something was wrong." "Something was wrong." "(Screaming)" "How are you feeling?" "I'm not staying here." "Five hours of our lives are unaccounted for." "I want to see those tapes." "I want to know what happened." "I've got some editing equipment at my house." "We should be able to come up with some answers." "We're still in the Black Hills, aren't we?" "Yeah, right up there." "Let's get Tristen inside." "We can take care of the bags later." "I thought we were going to your house." "RFD 431..." "Jericho Mills, home." "(Stephen) What did it used to be?" "It was a factory after the war." "They were going to destroy it, so I got them to sell it to me for a buck." "(Erica) Cool." "Sorry about the bridge." "It's the only way in or out." "It's pretty safe..." "don't lean on the railings." "I am not a gambling man." "But..." "I would bet my entire... retirement pension... that the blood in the van... is gonna match those tourists." "You've been looking to pin something on me since I was a kid." "(Dogs barking)" "Come on, get in, quick." "Before they eat you." "Quick, quick." "Let's go." "(Barking)" "(Barking stops)" "(Barking)" "Burkitt County's cheapest alarm." "And what's that do?" "Squirt water?" "No, that actually works." "Wave." "It's recording you right now." "I got 'em hooked up through the building." "I'm a little paranoid." "Hah!" "a little?" "I heard that." "But with good reason." "I got a lot of valuable stuff here." "Oh, my God!" "(Kim) Yeah!" "You wouldn't want somebody to come in here and steal stuff that you've already stolen." "Where it comes from is not my business, nor should it be yours." "I just like to pass the savings on to others." "Really?" "And how do you do that?" "E- bay." "Buying, selling, trading, swapping." "I'm a major player." "I thought all your cameras got trashed." "Well, you can never have too many." "Jeff, I think we've had enough videotaping for one weekend." "Yeah, dude." "Tour's over." "(Jeff) Maybe the tour has just begun cos you're walking into the official Blair store." "Come in, everybody." "This is where it begins." "This is the epicentre of the Blair Witch-Hunt web-site." "I got my sticks..." "You can touch these, they're for the stick men." "Don't touch those, those are drying." "Did you collect these in the Black hills?" "Yeah, every twig." "Here is a rock..." "Oh, my God, who made that?" "!" "Oh, I did, earlier." "We've got Parr ruins foundation dirt, that's a big item." "I sell that." "T- shirts and sweat shirts, and hats." "Here you go, Tristen." "That's for you, gratis." "I feel better." "You're as big an asshole as the rest of them." "What are you talking about, Erica?" "This stuff is hot." "This is what the wiccan religion needs, more capitalism based on fear and lies." "Do you really think it's fair to exploit our culture, just to sell stick-figure key chains?" "I think this place is cool, Jeff." "Thanks." "Jeff, we're tired." "I should get her to bed." "Oh, yeah." "Sorry." "Let's see..." "The stairs by the kitchen lead to my editing loft." "The bedroom on the right is mine." "It's got the biggest bed and it's own john." "You guys take it." "Thanks, brother." "Sure." "Sleep well." "The rest of the bedrooms are down the hallway." "Hey..." "I really appreciate the hospitality, but take me off your mailing list." "Ok." "They should have never let you out." "You're a long way from sane." "(Tristen) I saw something at the hospital." "What?" "It was just like the picture in the Blair Witch black bible." "The same clothes, that same face, like she'd been drowned." "Who?" "The little girl." "Eileen Treacle." "Sweetie..." "Why don't we talk about this after you get some sleep?" "I want to talk about it now." "You need to sleep." "You're in shock." "This is so... intense." "Chill out, Erica." "We've watched half of one tape." "We've got four angles, we've got our handhelds, we've got hours of tapes we haven't seen." "Last night, when we were camping," "I dreamt I hurt the baby." "That's just because we've been fighting about it so much." "You've been through a lot." "I know how much you wanted a baby." "I'm sorry I didn't want it." "I'm sorry that I lost it." "Guys, something just occurred to me." "Where's that tree?" "(Kim) What?" "That big tree that was right there." "Now there's just this tiny twig." "See, guys, I told you there was something up with that tree." "Hand me another of those dv cassettes maybe there's another angle." "Whoa, whoa... what is up with that?" "I don't know." "I think it's chafing from the backpack." "Does it hurt?" "Not really." "It just kind of itches." "It's nothing." "Here." "What was that?" "What?" "Rewind it." "What did you see?" "I'm not sure." "A flash, or something." "Coffin Rock." "What?" "Coffin Rock." "How the hell do you see Coffin Rock?" "Can you see in other dimensions?" "I don't know." "That's what it reminds me of." "Those guys that were murdered there in 1886 after they were gutted, their heads were arranged in the shape of a pentagram..." "Like that." "A great American pastime - blame it on a witch." "(Jeff) Let me see if I can get that image back." "(Tristen) Stephen!" "(Erica) Is she gonna be Ok?" "I don't know." "Stephen!" "Tristen?" "Tristen?" "(Sobbing outside)" "(Barking alarm)" "Shut up." "(Girl's voice) "You brought it back with you. "" "(Shriek)" "(Tristen) What was all that?" "That was Jeff's stupid dog alarm." "The crying." "You heard that, too?" "In my dreams." "I thought I was having this horrible nightmare." "About what?" "Children... looking up my skirt as I twirled round and round." "So I hurt them." "Stephen, what the hell is wrong with me?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "You're just... (Wind howls outside)" "Look, there are... rational explanations behind this." "Behind everything that's going on." "I think we need to go home." "I'll get someone to drive us..." "Not yet!" "Why?" "Just not yet." "I need to understand what happened." "You can understand it on the plane ride home." "Here." "Take these." "Take them." "They'll help you sleep." "Come on, take them!" "You're not making a believer out of me, son." "It was an accident." "I swear to Christ, it was an accident." "Jesus." "What the hell was that?" "I'm not sure." "See that?" "Whoa, wait." "Look." "Time code goes from 1:32am..." "to 3:57am... back to 1:32am." "In the middle of the footage?" "How does that happen?" "I don't know." "But those were the hours that we fell asleep." "Can you make it bigger, or slow it down?" "Let me try slowing it down." "Ladies and gentlemen, that is a naked woman." "What is a naked woman doing swinging around a tree?" "Are we sure these are our tapes?" "I'm not sure of anything in the last 24 hours." "I'll re-digitise this at a higher resolution so I can blow it up." "This will take a few minutes." "I need alcohol." "Caffeine." "Caffeine!" "Sure." "I live to serve." "Ugh... great." "Stale coffee, no beer, some old take-out chicken... but plenty of batteries." "Hey..." "What's going on?" "We're leaving in the morning." "Really?" "It's..." "It's Tristen." "She's in bad shape." "This whole thing has really fucked her up." "How come you're the one who looks like he's having a breakdown?" "Look!" "I'm a little tense, all right?" "Sorry." "No, I am... sorry." "I just feel like my whole life's been turned upside down the past two days." "I know." "It's been really crazy for you, but it's gonna be Ok." "I promise." "That feels good." "You ARE tense." "Like that?" "Yeah." "Lower?" "Yeah, lower." "How does that feel?" "Good." "Lower?" "How does that feel?" "(Ripping and scraping)" "Do they hurt?" "No." "They're just a little warm." "Don't worry." "I have them, too." "(Kim) Guys... want to come up here?" "You're out of beer, if that's what you want to know." "Jeff found a better angle on this naked chick." "What naked chick?" "Cool." "How?" "I blew up the image." "(Kim) It's a bit weird to watch..." "Like watching a hold-up on a bank security camera." "(Kim) You get the gist." "(Stephen) Where is this?" "(Jeff) The foundation." "(Erica) This was last night?" "Yeah." "During the big blackout." "(Stephen) Can you let us see her face?" "Sure can." "If this is a joke... it ain't funny." "No joke." "It's serious, Erica." "While I was gone, you messed with things." "(Jeff) No." "It doesn't make any sense." "I know." "We were hoping you could explain." "I don't have a clue." "You have no memory of doing this?" "No." "(Jeff) If it's some wicca thing, you can tell us." "(Kim) Try and help us understand." "We're just trying to put together what happened last night." "Find out who trashed my equipment." "That wasn't me." "I didn't do that." "Erica, that's you there on the screen." "Leave me the hell alone, all of you!" "Believe her?" "I don't know." "Jeff, give me your keys to the van." "Where you going?" "I have to get out." "I need a beer." "Hey, see if we need more coffee." "(Erica chanting) ...earth and fire, water and smoke..." "I am going to the store." "You want to come...?" "(Continues chanting, sobbing)" "Erica?" "Erica!" "We brought something back with us." "What are you talking about?" "I can sense it like someone's choking me and squeezing the air out of me." "Look, we're just tired, Ok?" "We're all really tired." "That is it." "I want to show you something." "I have got the same thing." "It's nothing, it's like poison oak." "But, Kim..." "They're growing." "(Erica) Ancient pagan alphabet." "They say it means you've been touched by a witch." "(Sobbing) That you're next chosen to die." "There's something here!" "There's something here!" "Sweet." "Yo, Morticia." "Hey, Elvira, I got something you can suck the blood out of." "Oh, yeah?" "Whip it out." "Excuse me, sorry." "I'm finished now." "What the...?" "!" "What is your problem?" "You're with the witch people." "Lady..." "I'm just here to buy groceries." "Witch!" "Freak." "Am I gonna have a problem with you, too?" "No problem." "Good." "Let's go." "Ok, look..." "Either you ring this stuff up..." "or I call your manager." "I am the manager." "Really?" "Yeah." "Well, then, Peggy... could you tell the bitch at the front register to do her goddamn job?" "!" "Get the hell out of here!" "Not until I've completed my purchase." "We don't want people like you around here." "You know what?" "I am gonna make this so easy on you, Peggy." "I told you to get the hell out of here." "You touch me again... and I will rip out your goddamn throat!" "Keep your motherfucking change!" "Persephone, do I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, do I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, do I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... (Sobbing) by earth and fire, and water and smoke..." "Persephone, I invoke... (Continues)" "(Sobbing)" "(Indistinct disembodied chanting)" "(Heavy metal)" "(Increases volume)" "Stone the witch!" "Stone the bitch!" "Fucking rednecks!" "(Distant crying)" "(Crying continues)" "Ow!" "(Jeff) Kim?" "Make me a pot of coffee on your way up." "You're welcome." "(Creaking and clock ticking)" "Look, I fucked up your front fender." "I had to swerve to avoid hitting these little kids." "They were dressed funny, like from another time." "Seven of them." "Jeff!" "I know this is crazy, but I know those are the kids Rustin Parr killed!" "Coffee." "Next to your arm." "Morning." "Hey." "Did you sleep Ok?" "Yeah, I slept Ok." "You?" "Yeah." "You ready to go?" "Yeah." "Are you guys ready?" "Yeah." "I... appreciate your driving us." "Yeah." "I'll get the keys from Jeff." "Come on, Tristen, wake up." "Come on, let's go." "Not yet..." "Tristen, we're going home." "Erica?" "Erica!" "Erica?" "Erica!" "(Jeff) Not up here." "Not up there?" "You sure?" "She was just here." "Didn't you hear me?" "I just said she's not up here." "Why don't you go check out the van..." "What the hell happened to the van?" "(Stephen) Jesus Christ." "We are never gonna get out of here..." "Kim, what the hell did you do?"

"We would've heard the dog alarm when she went outside." "It's like she fucking vanished." "Evaporated is more like it." "Yeah, right, Kim." "You were the one who found her clothes and those candles." "(Kim) What the hell is that supposed to mean?" "A prank." "Two little bitches trying to freak us out." "You paranoid fuck!" "Come on!" "We'd never do something like that!" "Where is she, Kim?" "Where is she?" "Why are her clothes and shit still here?" "How would I know?" "Can't you see her, Kimmy, in your mind's eye?"

"Erica dancing... backwards." "Everything backwards." "What are you talking about?" "Widdershins." "Undo the evil." "What the fuck is a widdershin?"
