00:00That seals it. I have now officially lost my faith in Hollywood.
00:04That wasn't that bad. Not that bad?
00:07Maybe through the haze of your ear-jump-shattering slumber it wasn't that bad,
00:10but as someone who actually watched that movie, it sucked!
00:14I'm just so tired of this trend of attack of the insert-your-vengeful-psycho-here movie.
00:20I mean, they're so unbelievable, you know?
00:23What are the chances of a chemically imbalanced camp director luring preteens to a bloodbath at the archery range?
00:30Well, apparently they're pretty good at Northern Maine's camp bloodsucker.
00:34You know what the problem is?
00:35Yeah, I know what the problem is.
00:36You talk in your sleep, and you talk about things I don't want to know about since grade.
00:40The problem is that people forget that the scariest things are the things that are actually possible.
00:46I mean, isn't that why Hitchcock's so great?
00:48Hmm, I don't know.
00:50How often does a guy go around dressing like his not-so-well-preserved mother?
00:54Well, you save that for special occasions.
00:57Maybe I've just lost the will to scream.
01:00Oh, please.
01:02You were once, and will forever remain, the number one skittish kid in my life.
01:09But it's not to worry. It's part of your charm.
01:11Weren't you scared of grams up until, like, last year or something like that?
01:15Oh, absolutely.
01:17In fact, I bet it's making you a little bit nervous just being in our house right now, isn't it?
01:23Who knows what kind of scary things will be lurking in the shadows.
01:27Who's hungry? A girl can't survive on dots alone.
01:53Very funny, guys.
01:58Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots.
02:22But is this the part where the twins come out and invite me to play forever and ever?
02:46Well, I think our work here is done.
02:52Let's get it firstie.
03:23Stars and sunsets
03:25Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:27Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:29Every heartbeat
03:31Every kiss
03:33Just makes me wonder
03:35What all this is
03:38Su-so-barbar
03:40Hearts and arrows
03:42Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:44Yeah!
03:51You guys do realize that this calls for serious revenge.
03:54Come on, Jo. We were just trying to prove, and quite successfully, I might add,
03:59that you are now and will forever be afraid of your own shadow.
04:04You know, you two wouldn't be quite so sure of yourselves if you knew what a weathered scream queen I was.
04:09That's right, I forgot. She's seen it all.
04:12I don't spend all of my time with you layabouts.
04:16I have seen things.
04:18Disturbing things.
04:22Tell us a story, Joey Potter.
04:26I don't think you can handle it.
04:28Right. This from the group of five minutes ago was screaming bloody murder on the floor.
04:34Okay, Pace.
04:37It was Halloween night.
04:39Audrey was walking with me to the library, which was in itself a sign of the apocalypse.
04:47Okay, I know like half a dozen kick-ass parties we could be hitting right now,
04:52and you're going to hibernate in the library. How wrong is that?
04:56No one asked you to come with me.
04:58I know, I'm just seeking clarification here.
05:01Are you the most before-me-pathetic person alive?
05:04Well, according to your party today dropout standards, apparently.
05:08I'm serious. Nobody should be alone in the library on Halloween.
05:12Audrey, it's not like I'm going to be the only one.
05:15Besides, the reading material cannot be checked out.
05:18And every other time that I go there, there's always some other overzealous geek from my class using it.
05:23This is the one night I know it'll be there.
05:25Such Joey Potter logic.
05:27You know what? I'm really not in the mood to go out partying with everything that's happened.
05:31Okay. Okay, I get it. You're excused.
05:34Can I ask you something?
05:36Who are you supposed to be, anyway?
05:38I'm Carrie.
05:40Carrie White, tragically misunderstood telekinetic heroine of the Stephen King book.
05:45Right, I know who Carrie is, but shouldn't you be doused in pig's blood or something?
05:48Well, I guess, but, blah.
05:52What cute boy is going to want to talk to me if I'm all red and sticky all night?
05:56Right, but how are they going to know that you're not just some generic homecoming queen or beauty contest winner?
06:03Because I'll tell them.
06:07You got the hair right.
06:10Thanks.
06:13Oh, fuck. You have no idea how bad these shoes suck right now.
06:26Audrey, you don't have to be here.
06:29There are plenty of people I feel perfectly safe with.
06:33Well, first party did start 15 minutes ago.
06:38Right, like I want to be the first idiot at the punch bowl.
06:44Audrey, I'm not coming with you.
06:47Who asked you to?
06:48I'm serious. I have to study. I'm going to be here late, and as much as I appreciate you coming with me, I'm fine.
06:56You know, sometimes when I get scared, I like to count out loud.
07:03One, two, three, four. It's very calming, okay?
07:10I'm surrounded by people. Why would I be scared?
07:14Don't look now, but check out the creepy guy at one o'clock. He's eating the peanuts, and he keeps staring at it. Don't look now. Wait, wait.
07:32Okay, go.
07:45Maybe it's the tiara and prom dress that caught his eye.
07:48He's giving me the willies.
07:50Why?
07:51Some girl was attacked in this library.
07:54She's lucky that she survived, and from what I understand, she's not the only one.
08:03You're just trying to scare me so I leave and I go to the party with you, and it's not going to work.
08:08Why do you always assume that my concern is masking self-interest?
08:12Because I know you.
08:15You know what? I'm going. Put your life at risk. See if I care.
08:24Don't stay out too late, okay?
08:26I'll meet you at the dorm.
08:28Are you sure you don't want me to walk back with you?
08:30Hey, Miss America, are you coming or going?
08:35She's going.
08:38Goodbye, beauty queen.
08:41Excuse me.
08:43I'm Carrie, all right? Carrie White from the book and the movie.
08:48Is that not obvious to you?
09:10Come on.
09:41Can I borrow a pen?
09:46Oh, yeah. I don't mind here.
10:00You can keep it. I don't need it.
10:04You shouldn't be here after dark. It's not safe.
10:11Oh, well, you know what? That's okay, actually, because my boyfriend's on his way over as soon as football practice lets out, so I'll be fine.
10:20But, um, thank you for your concern.
10:34Excuse me. Do you have the reading for the intellectual history of Europe in section 204, Professor Dawn's class?
10:40Oh, let me check. Your name?
10:42Julie Potter.
10:43All right.
11:03Okay. I need to read these two articles, and there's a reference book in the stacks.
11:20This is going to be your call number, Joey, and I still need to locate one more book for you.
11:27Wow. This is a lot of reading.
11:30Yeah.
11:34Thanks.
11:40Can I help you with something else?
11:43Are you going to be here for a while?
11:46Sure. For another hour or so. Why?
11:49Um, I was just wondering.
11:55You worried about that guy?
11:58Kind of. He's just, he's a little creepy. He kind of keeps staring at me.
12:09Don't worry. He's here almost every night. He's pretty harmless.
12:14Oh. Okay. Thanks.
12:27Bye-bye.
12:57Whoa. Sorry.
13:24Uh, I'm sorry. I think I'm just having a little bit of a moment. I think that guy is following me.
13:36The creepy old guy? Well, actually, he just left.
13:39Are you sure?
13:40Yeah. Look, do you want me to call campus security?
13:44Uh, no.
13:46You sure?
13:47Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
13:49Okay. Well, I was looking for you anyway. The other book that you need is in special editions.
13:54Where's that?
13:55That's downstairs.
13:58Are they still open?
14:00Um, well, they should be for like another ten minutes. Do you want me to walk you down there?
14:07Um, no. I'm okay. Thank you.
14:11Okay.
14:19Okay.
14:49Terrific.
15:07Hello?
15:37Hello?
16:07Hello?
16:19You okay?
16:21Yeah, I'm so happy to see you. That creepy guy is down here.
16:25Yeah, I know. He followed you and I followed him.
16:30Yeah, look, you're going to be fine.
16:36You should have listened to me, sweetie.
16:42Come on.
16:50Hey, gang.
16:53So you think you can put up a fight?
16:56Because I like that.
17:01Who is he?
17:02The cop. He was right, you know. You should have listened to him, sweetie.
17:07So you're the guy. You're the guy who attacked that girl last semester.
17:11Shh. Don't tell anyone, okay?
17:22Shh.
17:52Oh. You're pretty much crouching tiger his ass.
17:58I guess that kickboxing class actually paid off.
18:13It's a decent thrill, Jill.
18:16But as scary as the stacks may be after hours, I think the fraternity house has you beat in terms of the creep factor.
18:23So I'm assuming you're talking more than keg stands and roofies.
18:26All right, I get enough of that from my common law wife, all right?
18:30I'm sorry, but what could a fellow possibly have to worry about in the loving arms of his brethren?
18:37Late nights in the basement with the right provisions, of course.
18:42The mind can start to play tricks on you.
18:49Hey, guys.
18:51Hey, Jack.
18:52All right.
18:54See ya.
18:55Make sure that basement's cleared out, McCree.
19:08We are way cooler than these dorks.
19:12Check this out.
19:15Does it work?
19:18Anybody know the call numbers to the campus readers?
19:2396.6.
19:24My roommate listens to the morning show.
19:27My friend Jen, she's working the night shift.
19:30Is she hot?
19:31I don't really know how to answer that.
19:34Yes or no?
19:35Yes.
19:37You'll have to bring her over sometime.
19:44Dude, you okay?
19:46Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
19:49I just caught some of that flu that's going around.
19:52Plus, I'm flying high on some of that extra strength cough medicine.
19:57You want some, Jack?
19:58Jack?
19:59No, no thanks.
20:00That's probably not a good idea.
20:02It's good for you.
20:03It'll kill the virus.
20:04Brady.
20:06No, man, I'm good.
20:07Thanks.
20:08Come on, you guys.
20:09Don't be wusses.
20:11We're at the peak of our sexual primes.
20:14It's all downhill from here.
20:16You should be out partying tonight instead of in latrine-duty hell.
20:21Live a little.
20:22I believe this is what's known as peer pressure.
20:27Okay, what the hell?
20:33All right, as soon as it kills the virus.
20:37Here we go.
20:47This is some strong stuff.
20:50Class of 68.
20:52This is my dad's class.
20:54Which one is he?
20:56I don't know.
20:57He's right there.
21:00Oh my God, he's a total dork.
21:02He's just doing that hippie thing, man.
21:04It was the 60s, you know.
21:051968.
21:08Can't believe he was ever this young.
21:10Wasn't that the year some guy offed himself?
21:13Yeah, yeah, he was a total psycho.
21:15His roommate offed his girlfriend and he went ballistic.
21:19Slit his wrist in the bathroom.
21:21I heard she did everybody on the whole floor and then he went out in the main quad and hung himself.
21:28Now that's disturbing.
21:39Hey man, are you okay?
21:42I don't know.
21:43I don't feel so well.
21:44Dude, this is a vomit-free zone.
21:48There's a bathroom right back there.
21:50Why don't you go use it?
21:51Hang on.
22:21Guys?
22:50Guys?
23:11Guys?
23:39Guys?
24:07Hello?
24:37Hello?
25:06Hello?
25:36Are you okay?
25:41Are you alright?
25:42Yeah, I'm okay.
25:47Sit down.
25:50How the hell did this happen?
25:54A couple of the guys there.
25:57He's him, you know.
25:59Are you sure you're okay?
26:01I think so.
26:02I think so.
26:03I just, I must have passed out or something.
26:09This is insane.
26:10I mean, he could have killed you.
26:14I'll tell you what, I'm going to get you some water.
26:16You want some water?
26:17No, I'm okay.
26:20Who did this?
26:22I don't want to say their names.
26:24I'm a New Pledge.
26:25It'd be indiscreet.
26:27No, it's cool.
26:28I'm with the New Pledge class too.
26:30I'm Jack.
26:31I'm Ted.
26:34I haven't seen you around before.
26:37Yeah, I don't remember seeing you either.
26:41Well, can you get up?
26:43I mean, you're shot at least.
26:48Forget it, forget it.
26:49Just stay here, alright?
26:51I'll tell you what, I'm going to go try and find a few of the guys.
26:57No, please.
26:58I don't want anyone to know about this.
27:00Why?
27:01They already hate me.
27:04I don't want to make it any worse.
27:06Who hates you?
27:09The brothers.
27:11It doesn't make any sense.
27:13I mean, if they hate you, why would they pledge you?
27:17My father, he's one of the founding members of the fraternity.
27:21I'm a legacy.
27:23They had to pledge me.
27:25But all the guys that I've met here have been really cool.
27:28I can't even believe that they would allow this.
27:31They've been on my case since day one.
27:35Why?
27:40Forget it.
27:43I'm fine.
27:45I just need to rest a bit.
27:47Ted, I'm not like the rest of the guys, alright?
27:51You can talk to me.
27:53No.
27:55I'd get myself into more trouble.
27:57I'm serious, okay?
27:58Whatever it is, it's fine.
28:06I told my roommate that I had feelings for him.
28:12Yeah, so?
28:14So I never should have done it.
28:16I mean, we got drunk.
28:19I just blurted it out, and I'm not even sure I meant it.
28:25I just thought that somehow he might feel the same way.
28:31I'm not quite getting it.
28:34This is a big deal because...
28:40Because I'm gay.
28:42Yeah, I got that already.
28:46I'm right there with you, buddy.
28:48I don't believe you.
28:50It's true.
28:51All the guys, when they took me in as a pledge, they knew this.
28:57Which is why I'm shocked that they're treating you like this.
29:00This shouldn't happen, man.
29:01We're living in the 21st century.
29:04Maybe you are.
29:09What's the matter?
29:11I need to sleep.
29:15You stay here.
29:16I'm going to go get you some water.
29:19You're not calling for help, are you?
29:21No.
29:23No, I'm going to get you some water.
29:28Jack?
29:29Yeah.
29:31You're a cool guy.
29:33A great addition to the house.
29:37I wish there were more like you.
29:43I'll be right back.
30:13Go away.
30:43Don't get me wrong, you guys.
31:02You do spin a scary yarn.
31:04But in my estimation, what the whole world needs is a good old fashioned urban legend.
31:10Yeah, that's all we need.
31:12More predictable stories about a guy with a hook for an arm that kills the amorous couple.
31:17Hey, those stories exist for a reason, Jack.
31:20Right.
31:21To discourage teenagers from drinking and having sex in the woods.
31:25Okay.
31:26Say what you will, but I have experienced a few of those time-tested tales in my day.
31:31See?
31:32This is further evidence of the double life that Pacey leads.
31:35You know, the fathoms of the sea and in the seedy underbelly of the city.
31:39Jack is absolutely correct.
31:41I have seen the dark side.
31:43And he's also right in that the scariest stuff does take place in the everyday.
31:47Which, the last time for me was this one night with Karen.
31:51Who's Karen?
31:53Do you really want to have that conversation now?
31:56Uh, no.
31:58Sorry, sugar high.
32:00Okay, so this one night is before all the drama reared its head.
32:04I'm giving her a ride home in Brecker's car.
32:06She's driving down the road.
32:08Oh, let me guess.
32:09The road stretched out before you, lit only by the full moon above.
32:14Something like that, yes.
32:17So here I am, giving her a ride home in Brecker's car.
32:24Gotta hand it to Brecker.
32:26This is a sweet ride.
32:29It's his wife's car, actually.
32:31His Porsche's in the shop.
32:33You're kidding.
32:34A Porsche?
32:36911 Turbo, black on black.
32:39He had another reason to worship him.
32:42I don't worship the guy.
32:44It's perfectly understandable.
32:47What?
32:48Your little boy crush on Danny.
32:51Excuse me?
32:52Come on. I mean, it doesn't mean you're gay or anything.
32:56I mean, you know, he's charismatic.
32:59Charming.
33:01Cute.
33:02And look up to the guy. That's it, okay?
33:05You say so.
33:08Look, Brecker is the only guy who's ever made me feel like I'm good at anything.
33:13And he's the only person I know who doesn't make me feel like a complete freak for not going to college.
33:18And if you knew anything about my life, which you don't,
33:21then you would know that that's deserving of no small amount of hero worship, okay?
33:36What are you doing?
33:38His lights were off.
33:40I don't think that was such a great idea.
33:43I mean, that's the universal sign for it.
33:45Hey, buddy, your lights are off.
33:47It's also an invitation for trouble.
33:49What are you talking about?
33:51No, I heard about this. It's like a gang initiation thing.
33:54What?
33:55No, I'm serious.
33:56They send out their new members in a car with the headlights turned off,
33:59and the first person who flashes their lights at them,
34:02they're supposed to hunt them down and run them off the road.
34:04It's a game to them.
34:06All right, I don't know what Mad Max post-apocalyptic universe you live in,
34:10but in mine, that's just simple driver courtesy.
34:13Fine, I'm making it out.
34:15No, I didn't say that you're making it out.
34:17It's just, you know, some people forget to turn on their lights.
34:20Hey, I hope I'm wrong.
34:23But I'm not.
34:25Your turn.
34:26What?
34:27He's following us.
34:28Now you're being paranoid.
34:30Am I?
34:44What's this guy's problem?
34:50God, you just had to be the good Samaritan, didn't you?
34:53Just save the tutorial for a little bit later, please.
34:57What the hell was that?
35:07There's a truck stop ahead.
35:09Where?
35:10Right there.
35:27Damn.
35:30Oh, damn.
35:34Brecker is going to kill me.
35:36Yeah, I bet he's not going to take you to the prom anymore either.
35:40You're getting funnier every minute, let me tell you.
35:43I can't get a signal.
35:45Fine.
35:57What?
36:18Why, is this not surprising?
36:26What?
36:50Are you standing or sitting?
36:53Do you mind if we use your telephone?
36:56Over there.
36:58No, that one's out of order.
37:00Well, then I guess you're out of luck, ain't you?
37:03Oh, look, lady, I'm having a really precious second.
37:06Casey, look.
37:07What?
37:08Look.
37:19Okay.
37:21Which one of you is it, huh?
37:29Which one of you inbred redneck freaks smashed into my car?
37:34Huh?
37:35Show of hands.
37:37Maybe you, huh, in the jean shirt.
37:47Get out of my place.
37:49Oh, no, no.
37:50Someone in here smashed into my car.
37:53Not my problem.
37:55Oh, is your problem.
37:56Is everybody's.
37:57Breathe!
37:58Oh, my, you really should think about seeing a dentist.
38:19You've got to be kidding me.
38:49What are you doing?
38:51Just hold on.
39:20Pop the trunk.
39:22Hey, where are you going?
39:24Just do it.
39:26Lady, are you nuts?
39:36I have got to start meeting less angry women.
39:39I have got to start meeting less angry women.
40:01Get out of the car!
40:02Get out of the car!
40:23What do you say I drive you home now?
40:38Yeah.
40:39Alright.
40:40Thanks for a lovely evening.
40:43Any time.
40:44Let's go.
40:45So, I guess what we can conclude from this evening is that we can't offer much more of
41:03a thrill than the average slasher flick.
41:05You know, maybe what they say about our generation is true.
41:09We've grown up immune to the media.
41:11We look at reality television.
41:13Suddenly, it's normal to see people guzzling blood on primetime.
41:18You're not going to distract us with this, Jada Prattle, because Jack and I both know
41:22that you still check under the bed before you go to sleep.
41:27Hey, Gramps.
41:29Hello.
41:31Hi, Mrs. Ryan.
41:33Trust I'm not interrupting any unsavory activity here.
41:37Nope, we're as clean as they come, actually.
41:40We're just literally sitting around the fire telling ghost stories.
41:44Oh, well, you all haven't had enough life experience to tell a truly chilling tale.
41:51But, uh, if you novices think you can handle it, I think I might just have a good one.
41:57Oh, you're going to be hard pressed to scare us, Gramps.
42:01I mean, we're just a bunch of jaded cinephiles that don't even flinch at the sight of blood
42:07splattering all over the pavement anymore.
42:10Thank you for that sweet dream imagery, Jack.
42:15Now then, a truly scary story should hit you where you live,
42:22find you in a safe place, and turn it into a den of nightmares.
42:29Okay.
42:31Mission accomplished, Mrs. Ryan, because I'm starting to feel a little freaked out.
42:34Good.
42:37My story.
42:40Actually, it's Jennifer's story.
42:43An experience that terrified her so deeply she could never bear to relive the tale.
42:51Happened the first night she was on her own at the radio station.
42:57She was alone in the booth.
43:00It's getting on towards midnight.
43:04Okay, people, I'm back, and I've been saving one last song for you.
43:12♪♪
43:21♪♪
43:31♪♪
43:41♪♪
43:51♪♪
44:01♪♪
44:11♪♪
44:21♪♪
44:31♪♪
44:41♪♪
44:51♪♪
45:01♪♪
45:11♪♪
45:21♪♪
45:31♪♪
45:41♪♪
45:51♪♪
46:01♪♪
46:11My apologies, a little scratch on the vinyl there, folks.
46:14This is Jen on WBCW, keeping you company all evening.
46:18I'm gonna cut to commercial and be right back.
46:22♪♪
46:32♪♪
46:43Aah!
46:57Now, that is a scary story.
47:03Well, you children have a good night now.
47:15Oh, I hope I didn't give you jaded cinephiles too much of a fright.
47:26Good night.
47:32Sweet dreams.
47:39So, I guess this is typically the time of night that we go to sleep.
47:46Oh, hey, don't let that stop you.
47:49Unless, of course, you're too afraid to go upstairs by yourself.
47:53Yeah.
47:55Unless, of course, you're too scared to go to that creepy little floating house of yours.
48:01No.
48:04Why would I be afraid? There's nothing to be afraid of.
48:07We were just going.
48:08The only reason we're still here is because I wanted to tell you that when Doss and Jen get back, we should all get together.
48:12I'll cook for you.
48:14No, no, please, that's enough of the fear factor.
48:18Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
48:20You see what you just earned yourself?
48:22You earned yourself contaminated food.
48:26So, what do you say, Joe?
48:28You want to brave the tea?
48:31Yeah, I'm willing to venture forth if you ask.
48:35Yeah, of course, sure, let's go.
48:37But you are going to walk in front of me, right?
48:40Now, are you sure that you want me to do that?
48:43Because if I walk in front of you, how are you going to see the man that's going to jump out of the bush and stab you in the throat?
48:47Casey, there is no man.
48:49You're absolutely right, I'm all for gender equality.
48:52It could be a woman, some green-eyed Angelina Jolie type.
48:57Actually, that could be pretty interesting.
48:59Can we just go before it strikes midnight and Grams emerges looking for her lost head?
49:04See, I knew the Grams thing runs deep.
49:06I knew it.
49:08Sweet Mrs. Ryan is nothing compared to what we got in store for us.
49:12Laugh all you want, Pace, but you are my escort.
