7:35

Starting from the top, all the way

7:37

up in the attic. The

7:42

all alone in the world.

7:45

His

7:45

horrifying human faced bad friend

there on the second floor

7:53

reading chilling accounts of

all the hauntings and disappearances that have

7:58

afflicted this house and

8:00

about the supposed witch responsible.

8:04

But downstairs in

8:06

the four year, The most

frightening thing has happened.

Rogers Simmons murdered his brother,

8:14

and

8:14

Joey might be next.

8:20

Wood's

8:20

in Chelsea. You've heard some

8:22

banging and then some shouting downstair

8:24

But being up here on the second floor with

8:26

all of the wind and the thunder and the rain,

8:29

it's hard to tell exactly what's

8:31

going on. You definitely heard

8:33

Joey and Roger shouting

8:35

down there. And you think maybe

8:37

even a third voice. Oh, oh,

8:39

gosh. Chelsea, we have to

8:41

go downstairs right now.

8:43

Joey, I know what Roger's doing to him, but we

8:45

gotta get down there right now. I don't wanna

8:47

go down there. We shouldn't go down there. I

8:49

have to. I have to go down there. You stay with

8:51

the bad thing and I'm going down there. I gotta

8:53

be able alone. I have

8:56

to go down there with chill when I

8:58

run out of the room. From

9:00

the

9:00

top of the stairs, You can't clearly

9:02

see because of that mid landing with the bathroom,

9:05

but something really feels off.

9:07

I'm I'm gonna roll to be sneaky and

9:09

get to that landing to see what's going on. Go for

9:11

it. I made

9:13

it. Thirty six

9:14

out of my forty, I'm creeping quickly down

9:16

the stairs.

9:18

From the Landing's banister, you

9:20

can see it directly below Roger,

9:22

pointing a knife at Joey

9:24

and standing over the bloody body.

9:26

of his older brother Ace.

9:28

yeah

9:31

So Roger

9:32

oh, hell. Rogers

9:35

directly below me? Oh, he's about to be.

9:37

He's forcing Joey down the hallway at

9:39

night. Get going. Oh, okay,

9:41

man. Okay. You got

9:44

the knife. As Roger moves under where

9:46

I am, I I wanna leap

9:48

over the bench and jump on top of

9:50

him.

9:50

Okay. Since they haven't noticed you, I'm gonna give you

9:53

a bonus out of that. Make a fighting check.

9:55

Come on. Twenty

9:58

9:59

states again because you might even do better.

10:02

one. Okay. Okay.

10:04

This is interesting. Okay.

10:08

is my chance. This is the only chance I'm gonna

10:10

A scout

10:11

is brave. A scout is brave. A scout

10:13

is brave. And jumps

10:15

over the

10:15

bannister and kicks Roger right in the

10:18

head. Your

10:18

foot impact him. And

10:21

when you hit them, it

10:23

doesn't move the

10:25

way a person should. Your

10:28

flick kind of sinks into

10:30

him a little bit. And

10:32

he kind of stumbles to the ground.

10:34

When he turns to look up affect

10:36

you. The skin on his face is a little

10:38

loose. A couple of spiders

10:40

crawl out of his eye socket.

10:42

Watch out was. I don't

10:44

know what's wrong with him, but he is not

10:47

10:48

for sanity checks. I rolled

10:50

a seven, so I succeeded. The

10:53

11:04

This is a perfectly opportune time for

11:07

me to start coming downstairs. Yes,

11:09

Chelsea. you hear your brother shout

11:11

some kind of a heroic battle cry.

11:13

Let me tiptoe down the

11:15

lane. You

11:16

see the three boys downstairs. in

11:18

the middle of fighting each other, and

11:20

Chelsea even amidst all the

11:23

commotion. Roger sees

11:25

people. He looks up just for a

11:27

moment. and you see the spiders

11:29

dancing around his increasingly aberrantes

11:32

eyes. Kathy. Look

11:35

at us. seem in his neck.

11:37

And the rat

11:39

snout pushes out.

12:06

Oh, Roger's just

12:08

pulling himself up to

12:11

Oh, hi. I'm

12:14

walking

12:15

all the creatures in

12:17

my Oh,

12:21

well, isn't

12:23

12:25

my pink fingers into my

12:27

mouth hole and stretch

12:29

it open so you

12:31

can see what's

12:32

inside.

12:34

You

12:34

12:36

12:38

a log and you see underneath

12:41

everything is all this sick

12:44

and the gross and the things

12:46

that ride in the dark.

12:47

Do you

13:07

weapons out and Roger

13:09

approaches My

13:11

knife is at the

13:12

ready in one end. And then

13:14

I reached under my jacket and I tape

13:16

off the scalp master's blade.

13:19

Air up the blades together.

13:24

Roger, you're

13:27

13:34

risks and their attendance. I wanna make

13:44

I'm

13:46

13:51

back out of the way of him. You

13:53

run into Joey, though. on

13:55

woods. You fall to the ground, but you're able to

13:57

avoid a couple of Roger's knife swings

13:59

as he tries to slash

14:01

your wrists and your pendants with the knives that

14:03

he's got out. I'm stepping up in there.

14:05

He's gonna show Roger a thing or

14:07

14:10

two out of eighty. Pick on

14:12

someone your own side. and Roger, you make a

14:14

fighting rule too. A four.

14:16

Joey goes to stick

Roger with his weight. And

Roger kind of ducks it a little of

14:23

the side and actually catches

14:25

Joey's blade in the in the skin

14:27

of the side of his head and

14:30

tugs Joey off guard. sticks him in

14:32

the back with a knife. Oh. Pro

14:36

three damages. Roger sticks you in the

14:38

back once with a knife and you stumble away

14:40

from me.

14:42

Joey. Fuck you,

14:45

Roger. Whatever you are. I looked

14:47

down at

14:47

my little bad friend and I'm like, Please

of Roger's bed. Oh, little

angry, stupid. That

18:37

is not how you make friends,

18:39

but I'm a nice boy, and

18:41

they were mean

18:42

first. I'm sorry, mother.

18:44

I'm sorry, bats. Just then,

18:47

a chittering comes from

18:49

all around slowly

18:51

crawling out of all the darkest corners

18:53

of the room, are more of these creatures, the

18:56

bat things, the rat things with human

18:58

faces in their freakish

19:01

chimera bodies. Hello? I'm a

19:03

friendly good boy. I'm so sorry about

19:05

being a bad boy. I swear I'm

19:07

not a bad boy. And there's

19:09

something else dirt. Oh,

19:11

what now? The Guano stink is

19:13

terrible but familiar to you.

19:15

But there's a new scent cutting

19:19

through. One you've smelled earlier tonight,

19:21

tobacco. Who's there? In the

19:24

corner of the room, from out of a

19:26

crawl space, strides.

19:29

I can't. and locked in

19:30

its jaw is a

19:33

pike. Its eyes are an eerie shade of

19:35

yellow, sickly like

19:37

us. I'm gonna start to back out

19:39

of the room. The camp walks

19:41

across a beach and sits --

19:43

a park. -- staring menacingly as

19:46

you. Papa.

19:48

One of its four paws contorts in a

19:50

way that doesn't seem at all like

19:52

something a cat should be able to do.

19:55

and it takes the pipe from its mouth.

19:58

Why my boy? You look

19:59

lost as a babe in

20:02

the woods.

20:02

haha

20:08

My friends

20:08

were looking for you.

20:11

Oh, I was just playing a little hide

20:13

and seek, but I suppose

20:15

now you found

20:19

me

20:19

dirt. that

20:21

creatures have started moving

20:23

towards you again, past the

20:25

cat, inching closer

20:28

and closer So

20:28

why don't

20:30

you run along back to

20:32

your friends? There's

20:35

a new game of foot.

20:38

Oh, y'all the y'all y'all

20:40

y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all

20:42

y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all

20:44

y'all y'all y'all y' I

20:46

run. I'm running out of here, back to the wall and

20:49

out deposit. As

20:51

you climb her back down and make the way out

20:54

to the second floor. You can hear there's

20:56

something going on down on the first

20:58

floor. Help. There's shouting, scuffling,

21:00

commotion. Help help are

21:02

they after me? No. There's nothing.

21:05

Looks like there's nothing falling on

21:07

me. But you can

21:08

see ahead that Chelsea standing on the midpoint

21:10

landing, looking down at the bandstand. I'm

21:12

running down the stairs

21:13

now. Chelsea, I'm so sorry, help

21:16

me. Sure. Stop. Roger

21:19

is a monster. What? Dark.

21:21

Your

21:21

eyes go wide as you see the crazy

21:23

scene unfolding beneath you.

21:25

Roger Joey and Eve Woods,

21:27

they're all brandishing knives at each other. The bat

21:29

creature is biting at Roger's face,

21:32

but it's not a

21:34

face. Oh, what is happening?

21:36

Make a sanity roll. Oh,

21:38

no. Don't snap again.

21:40

Don't snap again. Don't snap again.

21:42

Fifty

21:42

two out of twenty six.

21:44

Roll

21:44

d six and be lost.

21:46

Two, did I snap? You let out a

21:48

terrified shriek. But otherwise, this

21:51

is not the worst thing you've

21:53

seen today. Joey?

21:55

How are you eating? I'm

21:57

trying to get back down from being

21:58

staring. I'm gonna

22:00

get back into it.

22:02

make a fight check. Sixteen.

22:05

Let's do this.

22:07

And Roger. Thirty

22:08

nine out of fifty five. And Joey

22:10

was a sixteen out of eighty. That's

22:12

an extreme success. He's

22:14

a much better fighter than you,

22:17

Roger. Joey, if you do max

22:19

damage plus, another die roll.

22:21

Four damage plus d four as you impale

22:23

him with your Switchblade. That's

22:24

total of eight.

22:26

Okay. Roger, how are

22:28

you looking? I'm barely old in all my way.

22:31

Oh,

22:31

my skittering things together. I've

22:33

only got two health left.

22:36

So

22:36

Joey sticks his Switchblade

22:39

into Roger's chest. This is what it's

22:41

like to be on.

22:44

and he sinks

22:45

in up to his wrist.

22:48

Oh my god. And this

22:50

cuts down a long run.

22:51

Yeah. Show

22:53

them what's

22:56

inside. Show them

22:56

what's inside at me.

22:58

Furminerals.

23:01

pouring out of Roger's front and

23:03

rear. And he begins

23:05

to look like partially deflated

23:08

balloon. see what

23:09

they call the

23:12

Roger. Oh,

23:16

yes. Yes. On the landing, there's

23:18

a bathroom. Right? Yes. Are there any

23:20

objects I can pick up or wheeled

23:22

toilet paper rolls, plungers?

23:24

glass shards from a mirror or anything?

23:27

Yes. There's actually a several large glass

23:29

shards from a mirror. I'm gonna pick whatever

23:31

I can you grab a a

23:33

moldy old towel and wrap it around a

23:35

large shard of mirror and pick it

23:37

up. As you come back around, you can see the

23:39

scuffling is continuing downstairs.

23:41

I crumble to the ground, and a

23:43

little rat crawls out of my neck

23:45

hole. It has the key in its

23:47

mouth, and it skiers away toward the

23:50

kitchen. I see it. And it runs down

23:51

the stairs trying to catch it and pull out

23:53

the little knife in my pocket because I'm

23:56

a big girl. I'm gonna do this. chelsea.

23:58

You

23:58

go running down the stairs

23:59

past Joanie Awards. You look kind of shocked

24:02

in bewildered at what's happening. Past

24:04

the undulate a massive Roger

24:06

still flailing, snarling, and

24:08

being by the back end.

24:09

Telsay.

24:11

Make

24:11

a fighting check. Where do you think you're

24:13

go. Thirty three. Is that a success?

24:15

No, actually.

24:16

Tells. You go running

24:19

and dive at this rack, but it's

24:21

able to evade you. Woods. III

24:23

try and dive after it. Rolled

24:26

at ten. You take a few

24:28

steps past her and leap

24:30

through the air with your knife in hand and

24:32

bring it down right on top of

24:34

this rat as it tries to keep pinning

24:37

it. The rat squeebles and

24:39

bumps a gout of sickly

24:41

black blood out of its

24:43

mouth as one of its eyes bursts

24:45

out. Roger's

24:46

not.

24:48

elastic.

24:51

i'm an animal

24:53

elastic. Woods' ankles.

24:57

Rogers have deflated body

24:59

twists and turns the face up,

25:01

slashing

25:01

out with the scout master's knife.

25:04

Make

25:04

a fight check. Twenty. Woods.

25:06

Forty three to my thirtieth. Can

25:08

I use ten left? No.

25:11

No. You can't in this case. day.

25:14

Roll for half damage.

25:15

Three. Who is ten minutes? Can't

25:18

walk no more. I'm

25:20

in two left. Roger

25:22

drives the blade into your leg.

25:24

It's

25:27

not a lethal wound but

25:29

it's it's crippling. This is this

25:31

is gonna take a long time to heal. You

25:34

as a boy

25:36

scout know he he he cuts something

25:39

vital. You're gonna have difficulty

25:41

walking. Meanwhile,

25:42

up top dirt. You've

25:44

got

25:44

your mirrored shiv

25:46

in your hands. You're

25:49

standing at the top of the stairs. I still

25:50

have a sling shot and I've blown the

25:52

glass shiv to fire

25:53

it and I rolled

25:56

fifty

25:56

nine out of sixty five. Roll

25:57

damage.

25:58

Four. And

25:59

that does it.

26:00

Roger. You're

26:03

a bad friend, Roger, and I

26:05

fire my sling shot. The

26:07

shot

26:07

of glass glistens in the candle light

26:09

as it darts through the air. through the

26:11

middle of Roger. His

26:13

body slips in home, just a

26:15

first membrane whose insects

26:17

are burning or This

26:23

one screen becomes

26:26

thousands of all of these creature

26:27

within and fleece,

26:30

skittering and screaming into

26:32

every hole and between every

26:34

floorboard. The back feature delicately

26:37

reaches one of its paws out

26:39

and grabs up what looks like

26:41

maybe a giant fat millipede. pops

26:44

it into its mouth with a smile

26:46

and turns to give you

26:48

a thumbs up.

26:50

The

26:52

chaos softens to the sound

26:54

of the wind and

26:56

the rain for a moment. Whoa.

26:57

Whoa.

26:58

What What the fuck is it?

27:06

Chelsea. The back creature is

27:09

scared too, and it quickly

27:11

pulls itself along the ground in a

27:13

strange backlight walk. and it holds its arms to

27:15

you, it says. It depends

27:17

on to pick

27:17

him up and I go to my brother. Tell me,

27:20

are you okay? Chelsea.

27:22

My brother's hurt. Oh, Chelsea

27:24

27:26

Oh, my back.

27:27

Oh my god. Dirk come

27:29

over here and help me. I I'm okay.

27:31

What the hell was

27:32

that thing? I don't know what it was.

27:35

I'm

27:35

just glad it's gone.

27:37

Is it gone? I don't know, but do

27:39

we have any idea dear how to get the hell out of here. I

27:42

well,

27:42

here's the key. I can't Oh,

27:44

dirty. Take the keys. Guys, they saw something

27:47

horrible. dirt. Take a damn key.

27:49

Ugh. Take

27:50

the key. Take the

27:52

key. No. You go look. You go,

27:54

Dirk. Okay. Dirk, you take

27:56

the key in your hand. and

27:58

you walk towards the

27:59

door, you slowly

28:01

place the key into the keyhole

28:04

and twist. that

28:05

the metal squeaks and groans as you turn

28:07

the key. You hear the sound of the

28:09

door unlock it. Then you turn

28:12

the knob. all of

28:14

a sudden, the entire door begins

28:15

to shutter and then the

28:17

key begins vibrating violently

28:20

into people and then promptly

28:23

shoots out of the keyhole

28:24

at you. Oh, no. No.

28:26

No. No. No. No. Where we're

28:28

supposed to go? there's only

28:30

one place left to go. What are you

28:32

what are you talking about? There's one place left to

28:34

go. The door just shot the key out at

28:37

us. the only logistical place to go is the

28:39

only place we haven't checked yet.

28:41

The basement. Maybe

28:43

there's

28:43

holes, like, little windows we

28:45

can dig through and wriggle out

28:47

like a little any baby worm. It's

28:49

raining and it's probably flooded down

28:51

there. I can't go down there. My

28:54

leg is slashed open. My face is slashed

28:56

open. I'm gonna get an infection from the

28:58

from the I can't go down there. Alright.

29:00

Alright. Alright. Okay. Woods,

29:03

29:07

carry you down there. Dude, I can I

29:09

29:11

29:13

29:18

they need to bandage

29:19

up my leg. help Tommy get his

29:21

first aid stuff out

29:22

of his pack. Thanks, Chelsea.

29:25

There's

29:25

a sewing kit in there.

29:27

We'll need that. I'm gonna

29:29

roll first aid. I

29:32

got a

29:32

twenty seven out of my sixty.

29:34

Woods, slumped up against the wall

29:37

you're giving orders to dirt

29:39

and to Joey to

29:41

do their best to be your hands as

29:43

they patch you up, which

29:45

unfortunately isn't too good because dirt

29:47

only really has one good hand to begin

29:49

with. But with your capable

29:51

instructions, they're able to do their best

29:53

to close your wounds and

29:55

and help you. soon you're

29:57

on your feet more or less.

29:59

And you're able to in

30:02

turn patch up Joey's wounds you

30:04

get a hit point back? Woods, you

30:06

get back one hit point for your leg and one hit point

30:08

for your face as well. Okay. That's

30:11

something.

30:11

Big

30:14

up my scalp

30:17

master's knife in it. It's

30:19

covered in blood.

30:21

I can't I

30:23

mean, I look at Chelsea and I

30:25

I can't believe I did this to

30:28

us.

30:28

I broke the scouts'

30:31

oath and now

30:33

I I take out my

30:34

handkerchief and I and I start to clean

30:36

this off.

30:37

A scout is

30:40

clean. A scout is

30:41

clean.

30:43

I got this clean. I gotta

30:45

make

30:45

this right somehow.

30:48

I take a

30:48

moment to pull

30:51

my little back friend off my back, and

30:53

I asked him, is there a way out in the basement?

30:56

Out out of the house.

30:57

Mom aller. Maybe.

31:00

You said the

31:02

word

31:03

mama. Great. The

31:05

hell is that mean? I don't

31:08

know. get down to the basement. Maybe mama's

31:10

in the basement. Oh, god. I

31:12

hope not. If mama's in the basement,

31:14

mama might know where Just

31:17

then Chelsea, the bat creature tugs at your hair. Oh,

31:20

stop that.

31:23

Your gaze follows his

31:25

frantic, twisted little hand, pointing

31:27

up as far as you can see

31:29

up the staircase. A swarm

31:31

of rats, flow down

31:33

the stairs like water, undulating

31:36

and creeping over every surface.

31:38

Interest first among them are the

31:40

other creatures, the back and

31:42

the rat things that humanoid faces

31:45

call sneer energy. Oh,

31:47

yeah. I was trying to

31:49

tell you. No. No.

31:53

Get up woods. Come on. The bat

31:55

creature on Chelsea's back says.

31:56

Bam. What

31:58

do you want with

31:59

us? Why? Raskels

32:04

just wants

32:05

to play with you.

32:08

Dear Chelsea, the

32:10

strange sickly cat creature

32:12

jumps into the light,

32:14

delicately walking atop the Midlanding

32:17

banister.

32:19

Papa. That

32:21

cat's the rat's

32:23

papa. That ain't right. The rats have

32:26

been deadly silent up to this point,

32:28

and then all of a sudden, as

32:30

one, they begin jittering

32:32

and screeching. No.

32:33

No. No.

32:35

No. No. No. No. No. Some of

32:36

the human faced rat creatures begin

32:38

to house. One of them

32:41

says

32:42

and

32:44

then a chorus.

32:46

Ready

32:49

32:50

not sweet children. Yeah.
