"[ Wind Whistling ]" "[ Man ] Viewer beware." "You're in for a scare." "Goosebumps." "[ Children Chattering ]" "Listen." " To what?" " The wind." "If you listen closely, you can hear the cries of tormented souls." "Yeah?" "How do you know?" "It's an old legend." "All right, class, we're taking this pathway to the meeting area, so come along and stay together." " [ Boy ] We've been walking for, like, an hour." " [ Chattering Continues ]" "[ Chattering Continues ]" "We're tough kids." "I'm just saying" " It's gone!" " What's gone?" "My locket." "My grandmother gave it to me for my birthday." "Must have fallen off your neck somewhere along the trail." "Can't be that far back." "Come on!" "I don't think it was this far back." "It probably fell off..." "I don't know-- in the parking lot." " I don't think so." " Well, it's gotta be around here somewhere." "Oh, great." "I see it!" "[ Gasps ]" "[ Sighs ]" "Hello, bunny." "I can't believe I was frightened by a cute little bunny." "Aren't you cute?" "[ Screaming ]" " What is it?" " This" " This rabbit!" " It was a" " Its face" " It was like a lizard." " What?" " Becca!" " It was here." "I saw it." "What's her problem?" "Are you all right?" "We heard you scream." "I lost my locket, and-- and this thing, this creature" "It was a rabbit, and, like, half" "Another tale from the imagination of Becca Thomas." " [ All Laughing ]" " But, Mrs. Crandle" "Becca, save it for creative writing class, all right?" "All right, class, we have orientation in half an hour at the meeting area, so let's get going." "And this time, please stay together." "[ Children Chattering ]" "[ Mrs. Crandle ] All right, class, settle down." "I'd like you all to meet Mr. Blankenship." "He's in charge of the nature center here." "Welcome to the wild." "Of course, you guys are probably the wildest creatures around here." "You're here to observe the wonders of nature, and there are thousands of them, from plants to animals." "Each one possesses a unique quality... that enables it to..." " [ Children Gasping Chattering ] - survive." " Cool!" " Awesome!" " [ Hissing ]" " Snakes... like this one... are one example of a species that have survived millions of years." "They have built-in sensors... that enable them to survive the perils found in nature." "They are fast, and they adapt quickly to their surroundings." "They are also... expert hunters." "On the food chain, a mouse is lower than a snake." "But to a truly magnificent creature like the snake, a mouse..." "[ Chuckles ] is a delicacy." "What you are about to see happens virtually every second in the forest." "Look!" " He's gonna feed it." " [ Children Murmuring ]" "[ Boy ] You better run, mouse!" "Come on, mouse!" "You'd better run!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "[ Hissing ]" " [ Hissing ] - [ Gasping, Groaning ]" " [ Boy Groans ] - [ Girls ] Awesome!" "[ Girls Giggle ]" "Well, um, thank you, Mr. Blankenship, for that, um, enlightening demonstration." "Okay, now, class, uh, for your first assignment, I want you all to pair off." "Let's go." "Then go pick up a clipboard and a compass... and look for other examples of the food chain at work." "Then we'll meet back here in one hour for lunch." "Oh, and, class, please, it's important that you stay on the paths." "We don't want you to get lost." "Hmm?" "[ Children Chattering ]" "Okay, let's get going." " [ Bird Squawking ]" " Check it out." "Hey, Benjy, here's an example of the food chain at work." "Gross!" "Hey, what is that?" " Looks like someone's cabin." " I bet its someone's hideout." "Let's check it out." "Looks like no one's used this place in a while." "What are you doing?" "Exploring." "Come on, Becca." "It's locked." "That usually means we're not supposed to open it." "It's not..." "locked." "It's just... stuck." "There's a difference." "[ Grunting ]" " [ Screaming ] - [ Screeching ]" "They were just bats." " [ Creature Chittering ] - [ Benjy ] What is it?" "We'd better go, Becca." "Come on!" "Coming?" "[ Electricity Crackling ]" "What is this place?" "Gross!" "This isn't a good idea, Becca." "I'm just looking." "Don't touch anything." "You don't know what it is." "I'm not gonna drink it." "[ Gasps ]" "[ Shrieking ]" "[ Shrieking Continues ]" " What was that?" " I'm not sure." "We'd better find something to clean this up." "Benjy, check this out." "I just have to find something to clean this up." "Becca," "I think we've got bigger problems." "What?" "[ Hissing ]" "It looks like Blankenship's snake." "[ Becca ] If it is, it got a lot bigger." "What are we gonna do?" "Don't make any sudden movements." "[ Hissing Continues ]" "What's he doing?" "I don't know, but he doesn't seem very happy." " [ Screams ] - [ Gasps ]" "Benjy." "Slowly move towards the door." "I have an idea." "Move slow." "Run, Benjy!" " How'd you know there were mice in the cage?" " I didn't!" "[ Hissing ]" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" " [ Gasps ] - [ Screams ]" " Afraid you'll miss lunch?" " Run!" "There's this huge snake after us!" " Like the killer bunny you saw this morning?" " She's telling the truth!" " We found this old cabin." " Where these slimy things" "They made this-- [ Shrieks ]" "And then this snake came out of nowhere, and" " Oh, yeah, and he's chasing the killer bunny." " [ Both Laughing ]" "No, wait!" "We'll show you the cabin!" "It's no use." "They don't believe us." "Well, should we tell Blankenship and Crandle?" "I'm sure they'll be very understanding when we tell them we broke into a log cabin... full of weird creatures in test tubes... and then escaped from a giant snake." "It could happen." "[ Hissing ]" "[ Birds Squawking ]" "[ Gasps ]" "[ Groaning, Screaming ]" "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Becca, what's wrong?" "Becca, it was just a dream." " [ Girl ] What's going on?" " Go back to sleep, Kelly." " Okay, now, you're all right." "Try to go to sleep." " I can't." "Okay, maybe this'll help."

"I thought we agreed to forget about that cabin." "I can't." "Now, come on." "There's no one inside." " We shouldn't do this." " Something is going on."

" [ Hinges Creaking ]" "[ Becca Screams ]" "Be careful." "You'll hurt them." "What is going on here?" "Mr. Blankenship, we were just" "You kids are trespassing." "Has anyone else been here?" " No." " Benjy!" "We were just curious." "Sorry I snapped." "This is very important research." "What kind of research?" "I've been experimenting with cross-breeding." "In those test tubes are the seeds of an entirely new species... which will be better adapted to their environments." "Imagine an ordinary turtle with the speed of a cheetah." "That rabbit with the lizard face." " You made him?" " Yes." "An early creation." "We should get back." "Mrs. Crandle's probably looking for" "Oh, I'm sure she's sound asleep." "And, um, we should be too." "Oh, but I haven't told you about my greatest achievement." "I have created a new dominant species." "Imagine the adaptability of a snake... combined with the intelligence of a human being." "The ultimate predator." "And you're the prey." "[ Both Gasping ]" "[ Screaming ]" "Where'd he go?"

"Think we should say anything?" "Oh, right." "You think they laughed about the lizard bunny?" "Try telling them that the science teacher was a man-eating snake." "Yeah, I see what you mean." "Not one bite the whole trip, and in the last 10 minutes I've been bitten 10 times." "Me too." "And I'm getting some kind of skin rash."
