(suspenseful music)
(eerie music)
(bells on door jingle)
- They say Shelton Hamway
is the name of the street.
But, I think I'm
gonna have to GPS it.
But, I'm gonna have to
call you later, Harvey.
Because, I'm working.
I don't know, till late.
I'll call you later.
Yeah.
Okay, see ya.

(suspenseful music)
(car engine roars)
(suspenseful music)
Down which street?
- [Navigation] Turn
right at the next street.
(cat meows)
(customer speaks indistinctly)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music)
Here are these for you.
(phone chimes)
Wings, huh?
(car blinker clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(door chimes)
(restaurant worker
speaks indistinctly)
Yep.
(car door clicks)
(car door slams)
(suspenseful music)
Mr. Murphy?
(doorbell ringing)
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell ringing)
- Stop ringing
the damn doorbell!
What?
(chain clinks)
What are you doing here?
- You ordered Chinese?
- Oh, I did.
Just put 'er on the
front step, opened.
- Just on the doorstep?
- Opened.
- Okay.
(door slams)
(bag rustles)
Weird dude.
(box pops)
No tip.
(suspenseful music)
- [Harvey] Mary, I don't get it.
Why can't you come?
- [Mary] I already told you.
- Okay, first of all, your
job is not a real thing.
Okay?
You choose your own hours,
you don't have a boss that
makes you show up or anything.
Hey Steve, how's it going?
- Harvey, I'm working tonight.
- It'll be fun.
- End of discussion.
I gotta pay for college somehow.
- Yeah, why aren't your parents
helping you out with that?
- I don't know, but buying my
car hasn't helped anything.
Apparently I'm not
responsible with my money.
(hand thumps on car hood)
- Does your dad know you
bought a piece of crap?
- Do you wanna ride or not?
- I would like a ride, please.
- Then shut up and get in.
(car door clicks)
- Shutting up.
Getting in.
Shotgun.
(car door slams)
- Oh, Stephanie posted a video.
(Stephanie speaking
on video indistinctly)
- Oh.
- [Stephanie]
Something bad happened.
- Well, that's sad.
- [Stephanie] Get home.
- [Mary] I don't
even wanna know.
- No, no, no.
It legitimately is
sad this time, watch.
- Eleanor got hit by a car.
- Wait, her cat died?
- Aw, isn't that sad?
- We're going to bury her in
the backyard this evening.
- That is sad.
Wait, is she having
a funeral for it?
- I've set up a GoFundMe.
- Is she for real?
- To assist with burial
expenses and the memorial-
- [Harvey] Oh, I think so.
- She is for real, oh my gosh.
- [Stephanie] Gotta
save for college.
- Do you wanna donate
to her GoFundMe?
- No.
- I think it'd be fun.
- [Mary] It's not a thing.
- It is a thing.
- [Mary] You don't
have GoFundMes-
- We gotta throw a cat funeral.
- [Mary] For a cat.
(car door slams)
(hand drums)
- Are you sure you
can't come tonight?
- Yep.
Next time though, I promise.
- Hey, I'm starting to miss you.
Seriously.
- See you.
- Bye.
(hand drums)
(car engine starts)
(car engine hums)
- Call Harvey.
- [Harvey] Hello?
- Hey, I'll come, but I
can't stay the whole time.
- [Harvey] No, that's awesome.
We're starting the
movie around seven.
I'll see you there, I'm excited.
- See you.
- [Harvey] Okay, bye.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, how was school?
- Fine.
- Any homework?
- Yeah, I have
biology and chemistry.
I'm gonna go work
on it right now.
- Good deal.
- So I was thinking
about hanging with
some friends tonight.
Maybe watch a scary
movie or something.
- With Harvey?
- Yeah.
- Your dad's not gonna
be happy about that.
- Okay, what is
wrong with Harvey?
- Nothing's wrong with him,
but I can't change
what your dad thinks.
Besides, I thought you were
supposed to be working tonight?
- I am.
I mean, I will,
for a little bit.
- Your dad is really not
gonna be happy about that.
- Well, it's not like he's
ever happy about anything I do.
- Okay, that's not true.
- Anyway, he said he'd get
back to me by Wednesday.
So, I told him
that'd be alright.
You going with the water, or?
- Yes, thank you.
Hey.
(keys jingle)
- Hey, where are you going?
- Oh, I'm just getting in a
couple extra hours of work.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's dinner.
- Well, I already
accepted the order.
(door squeaks)
(Greg sighs)
(door slams)
(fork clinks)
- What?
- Greg, I mean, come on.
You're upset with her
when she's not working,
and now you're gonna
be upset with her
because she is working?
I mean, which-
- I'm not upset.
Do I look upset?
I'm not upset.
I'm just saying
it's dinner time.
This is the time
when the three of us,
we sit down and we have
something to eat, so.
- Since when?
Since when have you ever
cared about that with her?
- Maybe I'm trying to
make up for lost time.
- [Carrie] Okay.
- I don't know what
I'm doing here.
(insects chirp)
- Thank you.
(door creaks and slams)
Screw it.
(doorbell rings)
(door squeaks)
- Hey, you made it.
Hey guys, Mary's here.
Hey, you can choose
the spot on the couch.
Steph, can you move?
Thank you.
- Hey.
Hey Steve.
- Hey, glad you made it.
- Hi, Stephanie.
I'm sorry about your cat.
- Right?
So, I think we're still waiting
for a couple people to show up.
Excuse me, ugh.
You want some candy corn?
- Sure, yeah.
- Man, your dad has like a
hundred old monster movies.
The Beast of Yucca Flats?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
That's kind of his thing.
We don't have to watch
that one, though.
We got-
Ooh, The Haunting.
Oh, have you seen the haunting?
- The old one?
- [Harvey] Yeah.
- Mm mm, we can't
watch that one.
- Okay, what about we-
Ooh, Shining, Kubrick, classic.
- Mm.
- We could do
something like Dracula?
Is there a ton of versions
of that we could choose from?
- Mm.
- [Stephanie] I just really
don't like any bloody movies.
- So, no horror movies at
all, or anything Halloweeny?
- No.
- Okay, that's fine.
I mean, that's like
the whole reason
that we're doing
this, but it's okay.
We can figure something out.
(phone chimes)
That leaves us
like, Hocus Pocus.
- Oh, man.
- Halloween two.
What's up?
What's "Oh man"?
- I'm really sorry.
I'm gonna have to
take this order.
My dad will find out if I don't.
I'm supposed to be
working tonight.
- Who's it for?
- Mr. Murphy.
- Ha, good luck.
- I know, right?
Anyway, thanks for the invite
and the candy corn, Harvey.
- Yeah, for sure.
Maybe you could come
over after, or something.
- I'm not sure, maybe.
Bye, everybody.
- Bye.
(car door slams)
(suspenseful music begins)
(doorbell rings)
(suspenseful music)
(door thuds)
- Just leave it
on the step again.
Opened.
- Sure.
(door slams)
(boxes pop)
(suspenseful music)
No tip again.
This is gonna get old fast.
(phone chimes)
Here we go.
(suspenseful music)
(phone chimes)
- Yes, Dad, you can come in.
(door clicks)
- Hi.
How was work tonight?
- Fine.
- I wanted to apologize for
getting after you at dinner.
You're working hard,
it's a good thing.
So were you busy?
- Busy enough.
I had leave Harvey's
party after five minutes
to deliver Chinese takeout
to our creepy neighbor again.
- Mm.
You know how I
feel about Harvey,
but at least you did
the responsible thing
and left when work called.
I appreciate that.
(Greg sighs)
I'm glad to see Seamus
is using the app.
He'll make a good customer.
- Oh wait.
You showed him the app?
- Yeah.
- Why?
Oh my gosh.
- What?
What are you complaining about?
It was the neighborly
thing to do.
He'll be a regular
customer for you.
- I don't want him as
a regular customer.
- What, why?
- Did you bother to show
him how to leave a tip?
- A tip?
Mary tips are for good service.
Not for just showing
up and doing your job.
You should be nice
to him, seriously,
he's had a hard life.
- Okay.
- Okay.

- Oh, not again.
That is it.
(leaves crunch)
(bag rustles)
(doorbell rings)
(Mr. Murphy yells)
- Just leave it on the doorstep.
Open!
- You know, I'm not your
personal delivery girl.
You ever hear of a tip?
- Tip?
- Yeah.
I've been delivering
Chinese here for a week.
You know how far Wing's is?
You know how much I
get paid doing this?
- No, and I don't care.
I pay to order food.
You get paid to deliver food.
Goodbye.
- What is your problem?
- Excuse me?
- Why are you being such a jerk?
I'm only delivering here
'cause my dad expects me to.
- And I'm only ordering
on that confounded phone
because my neighbor
said his daughter
was saving money for college.
- Well, that is gonna take a
lot longer if you don't tip.
- I would only tip for
exceedingly good service,
which I did not receive tonight.
Instead, I get a
whiny little girl,
speaking back to her elders.
Leave it on the doorstep.
And if I were you, I'd
stay indoors tonight,
with the windows closed.
It's not safe to be out
late this time of year.
(suspenseful music)
(door slams)
- Not safe?
What a weirdo.
I'm done.
(pumpkin clunks)
I am done.
(lid bangs)
(suspenseful music)
(wind howls)
(suspenseful music)
(intense wind)
(Crom shrieks)

I would only tip-

Crom Cruach.
(monster growls)
(suspenseful music)
- See you guys.
Thanks for coming.
- See ya.
- Do you want me to
walk you to your car?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Hey, I'm super glad
you came tonight.
- Same.
I needed a break.
- I mean, I'm glad you came.
- Harvey!
Gonna walk me home?
- Yeah, yeah.
One sec.
- Okay, well, see you at school.
- See you.
(car door slams)
(car engine roars)
- Harv.
- Yeah, sorry.
Love how you did the pink
today, you looks nice.
- Thank you.
I ate the rest of your candy
corn, I'm really sorry.
- It's okay.
It's what it was there for.
- Okay.
It was good, heh.
(wind blows)
(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music)
(leaves crunch)
(doorbell rings)
(car engines hum)
(Mary knocks)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music)
- Mr. Murphy?
It's me, it's Mary
Eldritch, your neighbor.
I wanted to apologize
for last night.
(suspenseful music)
Mr. Murphy?
Hello?
Mr. Murphy?
(suspenseful music)
(Mary lightly gasps)
Mr. Murphy?
(suspenseful music)
(milk pours)
(door slams)
- What's wrong?
- Mr. Murphy is dead.
So the police asked
me a ton of questions.
It was like they suspected me.
- Mary, don't torture
yourself, man.
It wasn't your fault.
- Well, I feel
like it's my fault
because I was probably the
last person he ever saw
and I yelled at him.
I just wanted a tip,
but not this bad.
Geez.
(Harvey laughs)
- Sorry, that was funny.
- You coming?
- No, no, actually I gotta go
grab Stephanie for a project.
- Her memorial fund?
- Good.
No, it's it's a group
thing, actually.
Hey, if you need to get
your mind off stuff later,
please just text me, okay?
Seriously.
- Okay.
- Hey.
(car door slams)
Text me, seriously.
(car engine hums)
(Carrie knocks)
- Come in.
(door clicks)
- Hey, how are you feeling?
I am so sorry about
what happened.
Losing Mr. Murphy, I mean,
that can be a really
difficult thing to process.
- Yeah, I guess.
I mean, I barely ever saw him.
It was just kind of a
shock seeing him dead.
- Yeah, well, I mean, you
can talk to me about it.
- I'll be okay.
I'm pretty much
over it, I think.
- Okay.
For now.
But you know, when you're
ready to talk about it,
your father and I will be here.
- Okay.
Thanks, Mom.
So, I gotta get a
lot of homework done.
- Yeah, of course.
I am gonna go to bed.
- Okay.
- But, I'm gonna be available
if you need to wake me up
and you need to talk.
- Good night, Mom.
- Okay.
(door clicks)
(phone buzzes)
- I'm fine, Harvey.
Geez.
(pen scratches)
(Crom knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom knocks)
(dog barks in distance)
(insects chirp)
(window clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(window clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom knocks)
Oh my gosh.
Okay, that is Steve or somebody.
Steve?
(suspenseful music)
Harvey?
(animal cries)
(window slams)
(suspenseful music)
(light clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(Mary crunches cookie)
(window creaks)
(suspenseful music)
(animal cries)
(eerie music)
(sudden suspenseful music)
(music slows)
(Mary breathes heavily)
(window squeaks)
(suspenseful music)
- Mary, this is ridiculous.
- Did your neighbor
maybe have one
of those hanging
ghost decorations
hanging on the street?
- Except for a jack-'o-lantern,
he never put up decorations.
- Okay.
I mean he could have done
that last night though.
- He's dead, remember?
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- Look, if you don't believe me-
- I believe you.
- Really?
- Yeah, it's Mr.
Murphy's ghost ,
trying to get revenges for
taking his Chinese food.
(Georgia laughs)
- All right, see you guys later.
- Wait, wait, wait.
(keys jingle)
(Harvey knocks)
(window hums)
Hi.
I'm sorry, I'm not
trying to be a jerk.
- You're not a jerk.
Just kind of an idiot sometimes.
- Come on.
Listen, are you bugged
that I've been hanging
out with Stephanie?
- Okay, I take it back.
You're kind of a jerk, too.
- Mary, you're telling
us a ghost story
like a week before Halloween.
What do you want us to think?
Okay, fine.
See you later, or not, probably.
(keys jingle)
(car engine roars)
- Yeah, I don't know.
I feel like she's just been
stressed out about work
and homework, and
all that stuff.
You know how she's
been recently?
- [Stephanie] Mary's been
like that since forever.
She can be kind of a
drama queen sometimes.
You remember when she
said her neighbor died,
and then she totally
fell all to pieces?
- Yeah, yeah.
That was yesterday.
- [Stephanie] Or
like a few days ago.
Anyway, so some old
guy passes away,
and suddenly, it's like,
"stop everything, ah."
You know?
- Well.
- [Stephanie] Don't
worry about her,
worry about us, Harv.
- Wait, us, why would
I worry about us?
- [Stephanie] No, I just mean,
Mary's being funny
because of us, you know?
- Not really.
- [Stephanie] So cute sometimes.
- Thanks.
(silverware clatters)
- [Stephanie] Look,
it's just since we started
spending time together
that Mary got all huffy,
and nose down at her
books and her job.
I mean, didn't you notice that?
- No, no.
I guess I didn't.
- [Stephanie] Well, whatever.
So you doing something tonight?
(something squeaks)
You're not gonna watch a scary
movie without me, I hope.
- You don't even
like scary movies.
- [Stephanie] I never said that.
I would totally
watch one with you.
- Oh, okay.
(sudden suspenseful music)
- [Stephanie] Harvey.
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
- Oh, hi, hi, sorry.
Yeah, I'm getting distracted.
I'm making myself like
a little snack thingy.
Sorry about that.
- [Stephanie] Don't
you guys have dinner
pretty late most nights?
- Yeah, but my
parents are outta town
for the next couple days
still, so, I'm here alone.
- [Stephanie] Really?
Oh, so, are you going
to invite me over?
- Probably not.
- [Stephanie] Harvey!
Come on, invite me over.
- No, no.
I just mean my parents
would murder me
if they find out
that I did that.
- [Stephanie] But
they're not there.
I could come right over.
(outside clatters)
- Sorry, no, I don't think
that's gonna work out.
Listen, I'm a little
busy right now.
Do you mind if I call you back?
- [Stephanie] Ugh, fine, bye.
- Bye.
(outside clunks)
Geez Louise.
(suspenseful music)
(blinds clatter)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom shrieks)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(chair clunks)
(suspenseful music)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(eerie music)
(handle clicks)
(door creaks)
(eerie music)
(door creaks)
(eerie music quiets)
(phone buzzes)
(suspenseful music)
- No, this is helpful.
I already know all this
stuff from watching movies.
I mean the best I
can come up with
is that it's a poltergeist,
'cause it keeps moving things.
- Yeah, but the definition
doesn't help us.
We need actual information.
Like, why it appeared
and why it's haunting us.
(Harvey snorts)
The Paranormal Goon Society?
- [Harvey] Oh boy.
- Who are these people?
- People like us?
- Yeah, but, I'm not gonna
join a weirdo club or anything.
- Oh, here's something.
It says a haunting is an emotion
that keeps repeating
itself over and over again.
- Mr. Murphy must
have been really upset
about his Chinese food.
- Yeah, or something else,
and he's just taking
it out on you.
And also me, for some reason.
- This is just ridiculous.
- What happened to
us is ridiculous.
Yet, here we are.
We need more clues
and I don't think we're
gonna find them here.
I think we're gonna
find 'em in his house.
- His house?
You wanna sneak into
Mr. Murphy's house?
- Do you have a better idea?
Look, if we're gonna
find something,
I feel like it's
gonna be in his house.
- I guess.
When do you wanna go?
- Right now.
- Wait, wait, now?
- Look, I don't wanna repeat
last night if I don't have to.
(suspenseful music)
(handle clicks)
- Ugh, it's locked.
- Yeah, I don't think they want
anybody trying to break in.
- I've never really seen
the inside of his house.
- Yeah, no one has.
I'm not dating
Stephanie, by the way.
- I never said you were.
- Yeah, but I mean I
could, if I wanted to.
- Then why don't you?
- Cause I don't want to.
- Good.
Her cat obsession is bizarre.
Let's try the back.
- Okay, fair.
But she only has
three of 'em now.
- Still too many.
(footsteps clunk)
(door handle clicks)
Ah.
Dude, what are you doing?
- Mm.
It's open.
(window slides)
(feet clatter)
(eerie music)
- Ugh, ow.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- I probably could have just
opened the door for you.
(Mary laughs)
(eerie music)
- So what are we
looking for, exactly?
Anything that would indicate
what he was doing when he died.
You know, that's causing
such negative energy
that he can't move on.
(floor creaks)
(eerie music)
- He was laying on the floor,
like right there when I saw him.
- Ah.
Like this?
- What are you doing?
Get up.
That is not even respectful.
- I'm just trying to
recreate the scene.
- An old man was lying dead
right there, two days ago.
- Okay, fine, whatever.
I dunno, Mary,
this just feels like any
other old person's house.
Check the bedroom.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey, Harvey.
Hey, Harvey, oh my gosh.
- It's a spooky kazoo.
- Geez.
(kazoo squeaks)
- I think we should
get out of here.
- What, no, I just
barely found something.
Right, so, I was looking
through his old stuff,
his old books in his room.
I think he was very
into the whole Irish
mythology legend scene.
Was he from Ireland,
do you know?
- Yeah.
Or at least his family was.
- [Harvey] Hm.
Gonna keep playing the kazoo.
- Wow.
This thing's awesome.
(suspicious music)
- Let's open it.
(chest thuds)
(suspicious music)
(lid thuds)
- Wow.
- He's got this
whole life in here.
- Mm.
(paper rustles)
- Just letters and
stuff, it looks like.
(suspicious music)
What?
- What's up?
What's happening?
- Okay, I'm in this photo.
- Oh, that's sweet.
- What were they
doing with Mr. Murphy?
- I don't know, hanging
out with the neighbor.
- Why does he have a
photo of us in his stuff?
- I don't know.
- What a creeper.
That's weird.
- Irish families.
- Wow, that sounds
so interesting.
- Everything's
Irish in this house.
He owns everything Irish.
This is a house full of Irish.
(pages rustle)
Maybe that's how he died.
- How?
- The drink.
Ha.
(pages rustle)
(suspicious music)
Oh my goodness.
- Cassette tape.
- Hey, does that
look familiar to you?
- Oh, man.
Maybe this goes way deeper
than old man Murphy's
grumpy spirit.
- Hm.
(book thuds)
(blinds clack)
- Its the police.
- Are you kidding?
- Yeah, no, I'm not.
We broke into a house.
You think someone didn't see us?
- Oh, my gosh.
- Close the chest, close it.
(chest clunks)
(suspenseful music)
- So weird, no wonder
Dad yelled at you
when you went over there.
(phone rings)
Hey.
- Hey.
So, I've been reading over
that old Murphy history book.
- Yeah?
What does it say about them?
- It's actually really
interesting stuff.
I'm really glad me nabbed this.
- Oh my gosh, I can't believe
we broke in and stole stuff.
He'll for sure be
haunting us now.
(Harvey laughs)
- Hey, we're solving a
mystery, man, come on.
- This isn't Scooby-Doo,
Harv, this is real life.
- Oh, no kidding.
Speaking of real life,
(Harvey swallows)
I think I figured
out what we both saw,
and it's super scary.
Are you ready?
- Sure.
- Okay.
So, I will summarize it for you.
Basically, in 500 A.D.,
there was this high king
of Ireland named Lughaidh.
Right, he was an ancestor of
the Murphy line, actually.
And he found out that his
wife had been unfaithful.
- Lughaidh?
- Mm hm.
Grandson of Nile of
the Nine Hostages.
That's pretty cool, right?
- You are such a nerd.
I mean, scholarly person.
- Thank you.
- [Mary] Okay, keep going.
- So, basically, he finds out
that his wife has
been canoodling,
and as punishment,
he locks her away in
a tower in the woods.
Right?
She dies later on of anguish.
And here's a really scary part.
You ready?
- So ready.
- So an ancient pagan spirit,
sort of demon monster
called Crom Cruach
was attracted by the
woman's suffering.
I guess he kind of fed
off of it, or something.
And he starts haunting all the
members of Lughaidh's clan.
He basically attaches
itself to them,
so no matter where they
go, or what they do,
they always see this apparition
on dark and stormy nights,
especially around
something called Samhain.
I think it's like a
festival or something?
- Samhain, it's the
original Halloween.
I think it was the old
Celtic New Year's Eve?
- Wait, how do you know that?
- My mom explained
it to me once.
So, are you saying Mr. Murphy
turned into a demon spirit,
like in his family's book?
- No, no, Mary don't you get it?
I think the thing we saw
last night was Crom Cruach.
- An ancient demon from
Ireland is haunting us?
- Hey, you saw the
illustration, okay?
It fits.
Look, I don't know
how it got here,
or what it did to your neighbor,
but listen, this is the
most important part.
It says it is the responsibility
of the eldest living
member of Lughaidh's line,
i.e., the Murphy's,
to placate Crom with offerings,
just as in olden days.
Or, it will consume the souls
of the High King's lineage,
one by one, until
they're all dead.
And then it will be free to
wreak havoc on the world.
- So, you're saying Mr.
Murphy was next in line
in the lineage of
the Irish king,
and now that he's dead,
this Crom thing is free?
- Murphy's name is near the
bottom of the family tree
in the book,
so yeah, he's gotta be
one of the last ones.
- There aren't any
names after his?
- He had a wife and kid, but
they both died a while ago.
- Wow.
Poor Mr. Murphy.
No wonder he was so mean.
He was probably
just really lonely.
So it wasn't Mr.
Murphy haunting us?
It was his family's
secret monster,
free now to wreak havoc.
- Yeah.
- That's just great.
- I know.
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspicious music)
(box scrapes)
(suspicious music)
(light clicks)
(envelope crinkles)
(suspicious music)
- Nothing with Mr. Murphy.
At least you're
not a creep, Mom.
(suspicious music)
(door slams)
(papers rustle)
(box thuds)
(suspenseful music)
(Steve breathes heavily)
- She's gonna love me for this.
After she recovers
from her heart attack.
(insects chirp)
You first, my lovely lady.
(hay crunches)
(phone buzzes)
(Steve sighs)
What do you mean you
can't find the place?
It's the barn in the
back of my house.
(fingers tap phone)
Mm.
(juice pours)
(Crom knocks)
Georgia?
Is that you?
(suspenseful music begins)
(Crom knocks)
Georgia?
(Crom rattles)
Is that you?
(suspenseful music)
(Crom bangs)
Georgia?
(suspenseful music)
(lantern handle squeaks)
Georgia?
(lantern handle squeaks)
(eerie music)
(Crom growls)
Georgia?
(Crom growls)
(Crom roars)
Oh!
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
No!
Stay away!
(Steve screams)
(Crom gurgles)
(eerie music)
Where is it?
(suspenseful music)
Oh, man.
- Uh, Steve?
- Georgia!
In here.
(Steve breathes heavily)
(insects chirp)
- Do you wanna tell me
what all of this is?
- Don't worry about
that, Georgia.
I just saw ghost,
a real, live ghost.
I'm not kidding.
- Oh yeah, and then you
were gonna scare me with it.
(Georgia sighs)
- Yeah, hey, Harvey.
I just got the crap
scared outta me.
Tell Mary I believe her now.
Totally believe her!
- Come on.
- You guys are so full of crap.
- She wasn't there,
she doesn't know.
- Shut up, Georgia.
I believe you.
- Seriously, because I was
there and I didn't see anything.
And why are you in such
a pissy mood today?
- Okay, okay.
The Murphy book, right?
- Uh huh.
- The Murphy history book?
I almost finished reading it.
Guys, brah.
Okay, so, the Murphy clan,
the ones that came
here to Lakeside,
initially settled in 1880.
Right?
- Uh huh.
- And they quickly
became known as,
and I quote,
some of the most valuable
and contributing
members of society.
- Wow, that didn't last.
- Absolutely not, no.
Even at the end of
the book that I had,
there was one of
those overdue library,
like stamp cards.
- Mm hm.
- It means the book was stolen.
- Wow.
- Read a freaking book,
kids, my goodness.
So that's not all,
in 1910, Carnegie, when he
built the old library, right?
The Murphy's donated
everything they had.
Right, books, old
Irish artifacts.
- So more history stuff?
- Yeah.
- Great.
(Harvey breathes heavily)
- Who's Carnegie?
And why do you know
all this random crap?
- It's history facts,
and, I dunno guys,
I think this might be our
one legit chance for a lead?
- So, we're going
to the library?
- Yeah.
- I'm in.
(suspicious music)
- This one's all
just census records
from when they were in Ireland.
Like, extended
family history stuff,
but it doesn't go that far back.
- This box is mostly
just Xerox copies
of all the newspaper clippings.
There's lot stuff in here
about a guy named Connor Murphy,
ran for mayor in Lakeside.
He won, actually.
He's the one who
donated all this stuff.
- Xeroxed?
- Yeah.
- Georgia's right,
you are weird.
(Harvey laughs)
- Now it's just weird
they haven't digitized
any of this yet.
- Maybe they had to pull
it out of the basement
for a reason.
- Sure.
- Harvey, can I talk
to you about something,
like in confidence?
- Yeah, sure, what's up?
- I found some papers
in my mom's closet.
In her box of family stuff.
- What kind of papers?
- Adoption papers.
- You're adopted?
- Sort of.
I guess the papers were
never actually signed.
- Not signed.
Okay, so what does that mean?
- I think it means that
technically I'm an O'Connor,
not an Eldritch.
I don't think that
Greg's actually my dad.
But the thing is,
when I was born,
my parents had already been
married for three years.
Please don't tell
anyone about this.
- No, of course, of course.
Have you talked to them?
- No.
- Probably should.
(book thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- Look what I found in
the restricted section.
Harry Potter, anyone?
No?
- Oh, I haven't seen
them in forever.
- Mm hm, but you watched
black and white movies?
- That's fair.
- It was actually in the
folklore and mythology section.
Our haunted history, Irish
legends, and folklore.
Alp-luatra, the joint eater.
The banshee, kasith, changeling,
Crom Cruach, right there.
Mm hm.
It even has a whole section
about the origins of Halloween,
and trick or treating and stuff.
- Well, we could find that
stuff on the internet.
- With pictures like these?
You guys can keep
looking through your
historical documents,
but after last night,
I think this is
way more practical.
(suspenseful music)
(phone buzzes)
- Ah, sure.
Couldn't it wait till
after dinner, huh?
(door clunks)
Hey, you hungry?
What's the matter?
- I don't know.
I have no idea.
I'm not even sure
whose daughter I am.
- Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey.
Honey, honey.
Wait, where did-
- In Mom's closet.
- Maybe you should
talk to your mom.
- I'm going to, but
I need to ask you-
- Why didn't we tell you?
- Why haven't you signed it?
- I-
Mary, listen.
No, no, listen, listen.
Wow, this is not how I planned
on having this conversation.
You know, I really wish you
had respected our privacy.
- Your privacy?
Your privacy?
This is about me.
Mom cheated on you, didn't she?
That's why you hate me so much.
It makes sense.
- Nope.
Hey, nobody hates
anybody, especially-
Hey, Carrie!
- [Carrie] Honey?
- Nobody hates anybody, Mary.
- So what's my real dad's name?
(Mary breathes shakily)
What is his name?
Don't I at least
deserve to know that?
Come on, you couldn't
bring yourself
to tell me I wasn't yours.
You couldn't bring
yourself to sign it,
can you at least
give me something?
- Hey, I'm coming.
What is going on?
Oh, no.
Mary, what have you done?
- What have I done?
(papers slam)
- No, no, that's
not what I meant.
It's not this, no wait.
(footsteps thud)
(suspicious music)
(door slams)
(footsteps thud)
(suspicious music)
(leaves rustle)
(suspicious music)
(leaves rustle)
(Mary breathes shakily)
(suspicious music)
(Mary cries)
(suspicious music)
(cat meows)
(insects chirp)
- What am I doing out here?
(phone buzzes)
(insects chirp)
(suspicious music concludes)
Oh, oh, oh, I see you
You sexy beast
I'm coming up there
You show your claws
And you bare your teeth
And you're a monster
Straight from my
nightmares to my life
Yeah you're a monster
(Harvey screams)
- What was that all
about there, Harvey?
- Shut up.
(Mary laughs)
You were five minutes late.
(Mary knocks)
- Okay then, that's not right.
Oh, did do you end up
talking to your parents?
- Yeah.
- How'd that go?
- Not good.
- Sorry.
(door squeaks)
- What are you wearing?
- Never mind.
- Just get inside.
- Geez Louise.
- What?
- You look cute, bro.
(door slams)
Why is this so dark in here?
- I don't want him
to know we're here.
- Okay, so you have information?
(book slams)
(intense music begins)
- I finished the book.
- Okay.
Did you find
something interesting?
- Oh yeah.
The ancient Celts
believe that the time
at the end of the harvest
and the beginning of winter
was when the wall between
life and death was thinnest.
That the spirits could
pass through, either way.
They called it Samhain.
- He does he know
how to pronounce it?
- Sh.
When the dark over
takes the light,
the book tells how they would
gather near ancient tombs,
and light gigantic bonfires
to attract the lost spirits
of those who died during
the previous year.
Showing them the way
to the afterlife,
the ancients wear
costumes of animal skin
to keep the spirits of the
Aoshi of the other world
from recognizing
and tormenting them.
- Okay, so that
explains the costume.
- It's not a costume,
it's ancient protection.
Anyways, I think I figured
out what Mr. Murphy was doing.
They used to leave food
out on the doorsteps
around Halloween time
to appease the spirits.
If a ghost came to your
house and found food,
they would leave you alone.
- So you think he was leaving
Chinese food on his doorstep
to keep this Crom Cru-
whatever, from harming him?
- Exactly.
It was attached to
his family, right?
But now that he's gone,
it's lost in the world
until Halloween night.
- Well wait, why Halloween?
What happens on Halloween?
- If it's shown the
way to the afterlife,
it will be trapped there
until the next Halloween.
- And, if it's
not shown the way?
- Well if what the
book says is true,
Crom Cruach will wreak
havoc on the world.
- Okay, so, why
didn't Mr. Murphy,
or any of the other
Murphy's already direct Crom
to the afterlife?
- I don't know.
You're the one that said Crom
was trying kill the Murphy's
so it could be free.
So maybe that had
something to do with it.
And the book says,
St. Patrick's destroy Croms
too, hundreds of years ago.
So maybe they thought
they had no tune to go to.
Or maybe they did direct
it every Halloween night,
and didn't bother
to tell anyone,
or maybe-
- Okay, Steve, we get it.
We have to direct it to a
tomb by Halloween night,
which is tomorrow,
and not get killed.
- And if we mess up,
then everyone is screwed.
Any ideas?
- I've got a plan.
- Oh boy.
(suspenseful music)
(microwave beeps)
(microwave door slams)
(Georgia sighs)
- Come on, Steve.
What could you possibly
be doing tonight?
(Georgia slurps)
Steve?
Just text me back.
(someone knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(someone knocks)
Hello?
You can come in.
(someone knocks)
Ring doesn't help,
if it's not on my phone, Mom.
(someone knocks)
(Georgia sighs)
I'm coming!
(suspenseful music)
(someone knocks)
(clock ticks)
(ticking speeds up)
(suspenseful music escalates)
(music stops)
- Harv, do you think
Steve's totally crazy?
Are we all just going crazy?
- No, I actually,
unfortunately, think he
has a pretty solid idea
of what's happening.
Yeah.
- This is all my fault.
I can't believe something
so awful could happen
just because I was an idiot.
- Oh, come on, Mary.
No, don't don't blame yourself.
Come on.
- Well, I do.
I feel terrible because
I started all of this.
I messed with his offering.
- Who's offering?
- Mr. Murphy's,
the Chinese food.
He knew what he was doing.
I thought he was crazy.
Just an old crank
who never tipped.
But, now look what's happening.
- It is a lot.
- I practically
murdered him, Harvey.
- No, no, you didn't, stop
doing that to yourself, stop.
- I did, I messed
up his offering.
Now he's dead,
there's some kind of ancient
death god on the loose.
It could be any one of us next.
(Mary breathes heavily)
Oh my gosh,
I think I'm gonna be sick.
- Okay, are you gonna pass
out, do you need sit down?
- No, I'm gonna puke.
- Okay, okay, okay.
(phone buzzes)
We'll get you-
One sec.
(Mary breathes heavily)
It's Georgia.
- Why didn't she text Steve?
She's probably messing with you.
- She said, "Help,
it's in my house."
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps thud)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Crom knocks)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Crom knocks)
(sudden suspenseful music)
- Georgia!
- Ah, Georgia!
Georgia, we're here
for you, come on!
(fingers tapping phone)
(Crom growls)
(door clicks)
(door squeaks)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Georgia whimpers)
(Crom growls)
(Georgia screams)
(Harvey grunts)
- I swear, it was locked.
- I think the scream
came from in here.
- Georgia!
(suspenseful music)
(Georgia whimpers)
- Okay, hey.
Hey, you're okay, you're okay.
(Georgia breathes shakily)
- I believe it now, all of it.
(suspenseful music)
So why are we building a tomb?
Couldn't we just go to a
cemetery and use the graves?
- A graveyard wouldn't work.
There's no tombs there
for Crom to enter.
The ancients gathered
her on a megalithic tomb
with an entrance
to the other world.
As I figured,
we need to be as close to
an Irish tomb as possible.
And I don't think anyone's
gonna let us dig an entrance
through their grave.
- Yeah, because this
looks just like Ireland.
You're such a nerd.
- Just finish stacking
the stupid rocks, okay?
- Yeah, whatever you
say, your majesty.
(rock clunks)
- Okay, so, Crom is lured
here by the bonfire, and us,
and then we lead
him to this tomb.
- Okay, I mean,
it's not terrible.
- Oh my gosh, I'm an idiot.
It's not gonna work.
- Why not?
This was your plan.
- Because unless something
is buried in there,
it's not a real tomb.
There's no link to
the other world.
(Mary sighs)
(Georgia laughs)
- Oh boy.
Yeah.
I know exactly who
we have to call,
and you're gonna have to
talk to her, pretty boy.
- Who?
- So you want me to what?
- Exhume your cat.
We just wanted to give
her a proper burial.
I know how much Eleanor
meant to you, and everything.
So we built her a monument.
We built her a monument,
and we just wanted to show
proper respect for the dead.
- Who is we?
- Oh, just the gang.
It's Steve, Georgia,
Mary, myself.
- The gang.
Oh, we don't really
talk like that anymore.
Also, what does exhume mean?
(birds chirp)
- Dig up.
- Ew, no, no.
That's, oh, that's so gross.
Harvey.
What are you talking about?
To ask anyone to
dig up their pet,
or literally any animal,
is disgusting and that's
really disrespectful.
The monument would
be nice though.
But Harvey,
I don't even know
why you're calling me
because I gave you a
chance and you missed it.
So, bye.
- [Harvey] No, no, wait, wait.
(phone clicks)
(Stephanie sighs)
- He'll be texting me
back second now, right?
He will.
Yes he will, Lalas.
- She hung up.
- Nice idea.
What now?
- You guys aren't seriously
giving up that easily, are you?
- She's not gonna let
us dig up her cat.
- Okay, well here's
a bright idea.
What if we just didn't ask her?
- No.
No, no, no, no.
- Mary, you're killing me.
- Yeah, you want Crom to be
set free on the world tonight?
- Okay.
What's the plan?
(intense music begins)
- Hello, Harv.
- Hi, Stephanie.
Hi.
You look beautiful.
You look so good.
- Thank you.
- Mm hm.
- What do you want?
- Look, I came to apologize
about being insensitive.
- Oh, about wanting
to dig up my cat.
Yeah, that's okay.
It's fine.
You're not the first person
has to do that before, so.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music stops)
(Stephanie sighs)
- Okay.
Oh, I have this-
This is this for you.
Stephanie, I wanted to ask
you on a proper date, tonight.
- Harvey, really?
(Harvey chuckles)
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Tonight?
- [Harvey] Yes, yes, yes.
- Go, go, go, go, go.
(suspenseful music)
(Harvey speaks indistinctly)
(suspenseful music)
(leaves rustle)
- Did you find it?
- Yeah.
Does it matter which one?
- Yeah, the freshest one.
- Ew.
(Mary laughs)
She has painted every single
stone with her cats' names.
- It's Eleanor.
- How do you know that?
- I saw the picture she posted.
(shovel crunches)
(suspenseful music)
- I was wondering if you
would be my Halloween queen?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I already totally made
some plans tonight, so.
- Oh, it's gonna be fun,
it's gonna be fun.
There's gonna be like,
the costumes, decorations.
- So you want me to be
your Halloween queen?
- Yes, that'd be great.
That'd be so good.
- Harvey, what are
you really doing here?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet!
Stop!
You put this whole thing
together just to surprise me.
- Oh.
Already-
Do you think you're
gonna be ready in time?
- I don't know.
You haven't told me where
or when it is, silly.
(Harvey laughs)
(Stephanie laughs)
- Yeah, so it's
at this old barn.
It's by this big grassy field.
Here, let me show
you on the map.
- The map?
- Mm hm, here.
Oh, you know what?
We can just-
Or I could just use your hand.
- Oh.
That's okay.
- So.
(Stephanie laughs)
- Wow.
- This is Hobble Avenue.
This is-
- Yes.
- Cherry Creek Lane.
(Harvey smacks lips)
There's the barn.
- Man, he's really
putting the moves on her.
- At what time?
- Like, seven, or midnight,
or in between eight or nine?
You know what, let's say,
I'm gonna make the
executive decision.
I'm gonna pick you up at eight.
- Okay, that's this kind
of strange, but, okay.
- Great.
So is that a yes?
- Yeah.
(leaves rustle)
(Stephanie gasps)
(suspenseful music)
- How hard can it possibly
be to dig up a dead cat?
(music concludes)
- Oh, wow.
You, Harv.
(Harvey laughs)
You're funny.
(Stephanie laughs)
- Thanks.
- Hm.
- [Harvey] So I will,
I'll see you at eight.
- Uh, uh huh.
- I'll pick you up.
- Okay.
- Oh, the theme is, for
the costumes, is animals.
- Animals?
- It's an animal theme.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye, see ya.
(Stephanie laughs)
I'll remind you.
- [Harvey] Okay.
- I'll text you.
- [Harvey] Oh, great.
- Okay.
- [Harvey] So excited.
- Goodbye.
(door squeaks)
(door clicks)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
- Yeah.
- You're not actually planning
on picking her up, right?
- Well, I have to now.
I don't wanna be a jerk.
- I think in this instance,
it's totally acceptable
for you to be a jerk.
- No, you didn't see her face.
If I stand her up, I'm
gonna break her heart.
She was so excited.
- You're ridiculous.
You're actually insane, Harvey.
That lip color looks
really great on you,
by the way.
- She's a good kisser.
- Go on.
- Vamonos, let's go.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine roars)
(suspenseful music)
(shovel bangs)
(Steve sighs)
- Mary, do the honors.
- I cannot believe
we just did this.
- Look, it has to be an
actual tomb to catch Crom.
- Who knows, maybe a
real eulogy might help.
- Oh, okay.
Ha.
Here we have buried this cat.
It was run over by a car.
Its name was-
- Eleanor.
- Its name was Eleanor.
And, may it rest in
peace for a little while,
and may Stephanie not
know, until later.
- Oh hey, freaking men.
(Mary chuckles hesitantly)
(Mary sighs)
- Good enough.
That is one
excellent Irish tomb.
- Let's up the Crom thinks so.
Sorry, Ralph.
(Greg knocks)
(door clicks)
- Hey.
What ya doing?
- I'm making a costume.
- For work?
- Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I end up taking
any orders tonight.
- Well, you should.
Everybody orders
out on Halloween.
Nobody wants to spend
the night cooking.
- Right.
- And a good costume,
that'll help you with some tips.
- Mm hm.
- Listen, Mary.
I wanted to say, I'm sorry.
For everything.
You're working.
And, I've had to work
on myself a little bit,
sort a few things out.
But I want you to know,
I'm proud of your efforts.
Your mom and I, we
had a good talk.
And, we're gonna help
you pay for your college.
Not everything,
but I'd like to help you
with your tuition
and at least make sure the
first few semesters go smoothly.
How's that sound?
- Thank you, Dad.
- Your father's
name was Patrick.
- What happened to him?
- He died in a car crash.
You were about a year old.
Be safe out there, okay?
Watch out for trick or
treaters and work hard.
- Okay.
(suspenseful music)
- Trick or treat!
- There you go!
- Oh, love the costumes.
(suspenseful music)
(leaves crunch)
(suspenseful music)
(wheel squeaks)
(insects chirp)
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so hot, I have
to take this off.
- Nope!
Back on.
- Not right now.
Please, please, leave it on.
- Why?
- It's for your own safety.
- For your own safety?
Ugh, I cannot believe that
he actually brought her.
- [Steve] Mm hm.
- I love Wing's Chinese.
It's so good.
I love the noodles.
- Yeah, well, it seemed
to fit the occasion.
- I love them.
- Just chew with your
mouth closed, please.
- Harvey, this is so fun.
Hm.
Mm.
So, Mary,
who's your date?
- Oh, you'll meet him later.
He's gonna probably
show like later tonight.
- That's right.
He'll hopefully make
an appearance later.
Probably fly in last minute.
- Who is he?
(Harvey sighs)
- Okay, it's almost
nine o'clock.
I think we should get
this party started.
- Whoa, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
What?
Sorry.
- We're gonna light the bonfire.
- Oh.
(Stephanie grunts)
(suspenseful music)
(lighter fluid squirts)
(suspenseful music)
(flame crackles)
(suspenseful music)
(fire whooshes)
- Hey, how you doing?
- I'm good.
Patrick.
My real dad's name was Patrick.
Greg told me earlier.
- Patrick.
I feel like you've
heard that name before.
- It's a pretty common name.
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
- So are we gonna
make marshmallows,
or what's happening?
(suspenseful music)
(insects chirp)
- So, is he coming?
- I don't know.
- Who?
Your date?
- No, Crom.
- Who's Crom?
- Nobody.
- Okay.
(Stephanie inhales)
Okay, so, it's been
super fun and everything,
but it's like almost midnight
and we haven't done
anything Halloweeny.
So, I'm just gonna head out.
(Stephanie clears throat)
Coming with, Harv?
Harv?
- Stephanie, I'm so sorry.
I can't.
- Oh.
- I'm sincerely, I'm so sorry.
(Stephanie sniffs)
- Look, I get it.
- No, it's-
- I'm gonna go.
- Stephanie, no, please.
Stephanie, please, please.
You can't go, okay?
- Why?
- You just can't, okay?
- Why?
- Guys?
- Don't look at me.
- Don't look at-
She's part of this
now, all right?
She's just in as much
dangerous as the rest of us.
And that's her freaking
cat we buried up there.
- Harvey!
- What?
- Who's to say Crom
isn't gonna go after her?
- What was the
thing about my cat?
- She knows too much.
We'll have to tie her up.
- Oh, no, no, Steve.
We are not tying her up.
- What did you do with my cat?
- Nothing.
- You didn't.
- Stephanie, just-
- You did not, Harvey!
- Stephanie, we're trying to
save the world, Stephanie!
- Eleanor!
Oh, Eleanor.
Eleanor!
- We should tie her up.
- No.
- Eleanor, Eleanor.
- Stephanie, wait.
- Eleanor, come on.
No, go away!
- Stephanie, wait, listen to me.
- I don't know what's
wrong with you people,
but you need some serious help.
- [Mary] Stephanie.
- I can't believe
I let you kiss me.
- Please.
Stephanie, you have
to listen to me.
- Eleanor.
- You have to leave it.
You have to leave it.
(Stephanie grunts)
We'll die.
- It's okay, it's okay.
(cat meows)
(Stephanie gasps)
What the hell was that?
What the-
Eleanor?
(cat meows)
Eleanor, is that you?
Eleanor?
Hey, Eleanor.
(cat screeches)
(sudden suspenseful music)
- Okay, okay.
I'm done.
Okay.
(cat hisses)
It's all on you guys.
(cat growls)
- Move towards the fire.
Towards me.
Move towards the
sound of my voice.
(cat growls)
Forty degrees Fahrenheit,
you're going to freeze to death.
We're trying to save
your freaking life.
- You guys, I just got chills.
(wind blows)
(suspenseful music)
He's here.
- Who's here?
- Stephanie, be quiet.
- Okay, sorry.
(eerie music)
(Harvey breaths loudly)
- Hey remember what I told you
about Mr. Murphy's family tree?
- Yeah.
- Told you he had a son, right?
- The one that died as a child.
- What?
No, no, he died
when he was like 30.
- Oh.
- Anyway, his name was Patrick.
That's where I remember
hearing the name from.
Mr. Murphy's son, Patrick,
died in an accident
like 17 years ago.
- What?
- Sh.
When he appears,
everyone quietly follow
Mary toward the tomb.
(eerie music)
(Stephanie breathes shakily)
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
- Move slowly.
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
(Stephanie whimpers)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(wind blows)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie whimpers)
- Stephanie.
Stephanie, don't.
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie whimpers)
Stephanie, don't, no!
Stephanie!
(Stephanie yells)
(Crom growls)
(neck crackles)
(eerie music)
(Crom shrieks)
(Stephanie whimpers)
Stephanie.
Whatever you do,
just don't move.
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie cries out)
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie cries)
(Crom growls)
- Mary Eldritch!
You are in big
trouble, young lady.
You lied to me.
- Dad?
- You said you were out working.
It's almost midnight,
and here you are out
with your friends?
- Dad, go away!
Get out of here!
(Crom growls)
No!
- Holy shit!
(Crom growls)
(Mary screams)
- Oh, no.
(suspenseful music)
- Patrick Murphy, I'm a Murphy.
Mr. Murphy was the protector.
I'm a Murphy!
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
Hey!
Crom Cruach!
Stop!
(Crom growls)
My name is Mary Eldritch,
and I'm the only daughter
of Patrick Murphy.
The only son of Seamus Murphy.
(Crom breathes eerily)
I'm the final living
heir of his lineage,
and you are bound to me.
(Crom growls lowly)
I demand you, let him go!
(Crom grunts)
- Mary, what are you doing?
(Crom growls lowly)
- Two minutes till midnight.
- Sh!
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
(Crom growls and laughs)
- Ah!
- You can't do anything, Crom,
unless you kill me first.
(Crom roars)
Eat Chinese food, jerk.
(Crom gurgles)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom roars)
- Are you guys seeing
what I'm seeing?
- What the hell?
(suspenseful music)
(wind howls)
(suspenseful music)
(ghosts shriek)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
- What is happening?
- Mary!
(Crom roars)
(Stephanie screams)
(wind howls)
(suspenseful music)
(ghosts shriek)
(Crom roars)
(Mary screams)
(rock thuds)
(music slows)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(Mary breathes shakily)
(leave rustle)
(Stephanie breathes heavily)
- Oh, my antlers.
(Mary breathes heavily)
(Mary and Harvey laugh)
- We did it.
Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Are you?
- Yeah.
- Great.
- [Harvey] Ooh.
- Greg, Greg?
- Midnight on the dot.
Hey guys, we just
killed a demon.
- Steven, shut up.
- Greg.
Greg?
(Greg gasps)
Greg, are you okay?
(Greg coughs)
- Yeah.
Think I hit my head.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
Mary, I'm sorry,
whatever happened,
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- What was that thing?
- It's a-
It's gone now.
It's over.
Greg.
Whatever happened
between you and Mom,
I know I remind you
of it every day,
and I'm sorry for that,
but I really need
you to be my dad.
(emotional music)
- I am your dad,
and you are my little girl.
Don't you ever forget it.
(Mary breathes heavily)
- Help me get up.
(Greg groans)
- Can someone explain to me
what the hell just happened?
- It all started with a book.
(Harvey laughs)
- Come on, man.
Sorry again about the
make out situation.
- We're not roasting
marshmallows?
- Wait.
- Don't even look
in your costume.
I'm not even a
Halloween queen, am I?
- Don't you wanna know
more about the book?
- No, she really doesn't.
(insects chirp)
(bed squeaks)
(phone chimes)
(fingers tap)
(phone rings)
- Hey, Harvey.
- [Harvey] We just
saved the world!
You're the greatest!
(Mary laughs)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom shrieks)
(upbeat eerie music)
(funky music)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I see you
You sexy beast
You're coming to me
You show your claws
and your big teeth
Yeah you're a monster
Straight from my
nightmares to my life
Yeah you're a monster
A deadly creature
from the night
(suspenseful music)
(eerie music)
(bells on door jingle)
- They say Shelton Hamway
is the name of the street.
But, I think I'm
gonna have to GPS it.
But, I'm gonna have to
call you later, Harvey.
Because, I'm working.
I don't know, till late.
I'll call you later.
Yeah.
Okay, see ya.

(children shouting)
(suspenseful music)
(car engine roars)

Down which street?
- [Navigation] Turn
right at the next street.
(cat meows)
(customer speaks indistinctly)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music)
Here are these for you.
(phone chimes)
Wings, huh?
(car blinker clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(door chimes)
(restaurant worker
speaks indistinctly)
Yep.
(car door clicks)
(car door slams)
(suspenseful music)
Mr. Murphy?
(doorbell ringing)
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell ringing)
- Stop ringing
the damn doorbell!
What?
(chain clinks)
What are you doing here?
- You ordered Chinese?
- Oh, I did.
Just put 'er on the
front step, opened.
- Just on the doorstep?
- Opened.
- Okay.
(door slams)
(bag rustles)
Weird dude.
(box pops)
No tip.
(suspenseful music)
- [Harvey] Mary, I don't get it.
Why can't you come?
- [Mary] I already told you.
- Okay, first of all, your
job is not a real thing.
Okay?
You choose your own hours,
you don't have a boss that
makes you show up or anything.
Hey Steve, how's it going?
- Harvey, I'm working tonight.
- It'll be fun.
- End of discussion.
I gotta pay for college somehow.
- Yeah, why aren't your parents
helping you out with that?
- I don't know, but buying my
car hasn't helped anything.
Apparently I'm not
responsible with my money.
(hand thumps on car hood)
- Does your dad know you
bought a piece of crap?
- Do you wanna ride or not?
- I would like a ride, please.
- Then shut up and get in.
(car door clicks)
- Shutting up.
Getting in.
Shotgun.
(car door slams)
- Oh, Stephanie posted a video.
(Stephanie speaking
on video indistinctly)
- Oh.
- [Stephanie]
Something bad happened.
- Well, that's sad.
- [Stephanie] Get home.
- [Mary] I don't
even wanna know.
- No, no, no.
It legitimately is
sad this time, watch.
- Eleanor got hit by a car.
- Wait, her cat died?
- Aw, isn't that sad?
- We're going to bury her in
the backyard this evening.
- That is sad.
Wait, is she having
a funeral for it?
- I've set up a GoFundMe.
- Is she for real?
- To assist with burial
expenses and the memorial-
- [Harvey] Oh, I think so.
- She is for real, oh my gosh.
- [Stephanie] Gotta
save for college.
- Do you wanna donate
to her GoFundMe?
- No.
- I think it'd be fun.
- [Mary] It's not a thing.
- It is a thing.
- [Mary] You don't
have GoFundMes-
- We gotta throw a cat funeral.
- [Mary] For a cat.
(car door slams)
(hand drums)
- Are you sure you
can't come tonight?
- Yep.
Next time though, I promise.
- Hey, I'm starting to miss you.
Seriously.
- See you.
- Bye.
(hand drums)
(car engine starts)
(car engine hums)
- Call Harvey.
- [Harvey] Hello?
- Hey, I'll come, but I
can't stay the whole time.
- [Harvey] No, that's awesome.
We're starting the
movie around seven.
I'll see you there, I'm excited.
- See you.
- [Harvey] Okay, bye.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, how was school?
- Fine.
- Any homework?
- Yeah, I have
biology and chemistry.
I'm gonna go work
on it right now.
- Good deal.
- So I was thinking
about hanging with
some friends tonight.
Maybe watch a scary
movie or something.
- With Harvey?
- Yeah.
- Your dad's not gonna
be happy about that.
- Okay, what is
wrong with Harvey?
- Nothing's wrong with him,
but I can't change
what your dad thinks.
Besides, I thought you were
supposed to be working tonight?
- I am.
I mean, I will,
for a little bit.
- Your dad is really not
gonna be happy about that.
- Well, it's not like he's
ever happy about anything I do.
- Okay, that's not true.
- Anyway, he said he'd get
back to me by Wednesday.
So, I told him
that'd be alright.
You going with the water, or?
- Yes, thank you.
Hey.
(keys jingle)
- Hey, where are you going?
- Oh, I'm just getting in a
couple extra hours of work.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's dinner.
- Well, I already
accepted the order.
(door squeaks)
(Greg sighs)
(door slams)
(fork clinks)
- What?
- Greg, I mean, come on.
You're upset with her
when she's not working,
and now you're gonna
be upset with her
because she is working?
I mean, which-
- I'm not upset.
Do I look upset?
I'm not upset.
I'm just saying
it's dinner time.
This is the time
when the three of us,
we sit down and we have
something to eat, so.
- Since when?
Since when have you ever
cared about that with her?
- Maybe I'm trying to
make up for lost time.
- [Carrie] Okay.
- I don't know what
I'm doing here.
(insects chirp)
- Thank you.
(door creaks and slams)
Screw it.
(doorbell rings)
(door squeaks)
- Hey, you made it.
Hey guys, Mary's here.
Hey, you can choose
the spot on the couch.
Steph, can you move?
Thank you.
- Hey.
Hey Steve.
- Hey, glad you made it.
- Hi, Stephanie.
I'm sorry about your cat.
- Right?
So, I think we're still waiting
for a couple people to show up.
Excuse me, ugh.
You want some candy corn?
- Sure, yeah.
- Man, your dad has like a
hundred old monster movies.
The Beast of Yucca Flats?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
That's kind of his thing.
We don't have to watch
that one, though.
We got-
Ooh, The Haunting.
Oh, have you seen the haunting?
- The old one?
- [Harvey] Yeah.
- Mm mm, we can't
watch that one.
- Okay, what about we-
Ooh, Shining, Kubrick, classic.
- Mm.
- We could do
something like Dracula?
Is there a ton of versions
of that we could choose from?
- Mm.
- [Stephanie] I just really
don't like any bloody movies.
- So, no horror movies at
all, or anything Halloweeny?
- No.
- Okay, that's fine.
I mean, that's like
the whole reason
that we're doing
this, but it's okay.
We can figure something out.
(phone chimes)
That leaves us
like, Hocus Pocus.
- Oh, man.
- Halloween two.
What's up?
What's "Oh man"?
- I'm really sorry.
I'm gonna have to
take this order.
My dad will find out if I don't.
I'm supposed to be
working tonight.
- Who's it for?
- Mr. Murphy.
- Ha, good luck.
- I know, right?
Anyway, thanks for the invite
and the candy corn, Harvey.
- Yeah, for sure.
Maybe you could come
over after, or something.
- I'm not sure, maybe.
Bye, everybody.
- Bye.
(car door slams)
(suspenseful music begins)
(doorbell rings)
(suspenseful music)
(door thuds)
- Just leave it
on the step again.
Opened.
- Sure.
(door slams)
(boxes pop)
(suspenseful music)
No tip again.
This is gonna get old fast.
(phone chimes)
Here we go.
(suspenseful music)
(phone chimes)
- Yes, Dad, you can come in.
(door clicks)
- Hi.
How was work tonight?
- Fine.
- I wanted to apologize for
getting after you at dinner.
You're working hard,
it's a good thing.
So were you busy?
- Busy enough.
I had leave Harvey's
party after five minutes
to deliver Chinese takeout
to our creepy neighbor again.
- Mm.
You know how I
feel about Harvey,
but at least you did
the responsible thing
and left when work called.
I appreciate that.
(Greg sighs)
I'm glad to see Seamus
is using the app.
He'll make a good customer.
- Oh wait.
You showed him the app?
- Yeah.
- Why?
Oh my gosh.
- What?
What are you complaining about?
It was the neighborly
thing to do.
He'll be a regular
customer for you.
- I don't want him as
a regular customer.
- What, why?
- Did you bother to show
him how to leave a tip?
- A tip?
Mary tips are for good service.
Not for just showing
up and doing your job.
You should be nice
to him, seriously,
he's had a hard life.
- Okay.
- Okay.

That is it.
(leaves crunch)
(bag rustles)
(doorbell rings)
(Mr. Murphy yells)
- Just leave it on the doorstep.
Open!
- You know, I'm not your
personal delivery girl.
You ever hear of a tip?
- Tip?
- Yeah.
I've been delivering
Chinese here for a week.
You know how far Wing's is?
You know how much I
get paid doing this?
- No, and I don't care.
I pay to order food.
You get paid to deliver food.
Goodbye.
- What is your problem?
- Excuse me?
- Why are you being such a jerk?
I'm only delivering here
'cause my dad expects me to.
- And I'm only ordering
on that confounded phone
because my neighbor
said his daughter
was saving money for college.
- Well, that is gonna take a
lot longer if you don't tip.
- I would only tip for
exceedingly good service,
which I did not receive tonight.
Instead, I get a
whiny little girl,
speaking back to her elders.
Leave it on the doorstep.
And if I were you, I'd
stay indoors tonight,
with the windows closed.
It's not safe to be out
late this time of year.
(suspenseful music)
(door slams)
- Not safe?
What a weirdo.
I'm done.
(pumpkin clunks)
I am done.

- See you guys.
Thanks for coming.
- See ya.
- Do you want me to
walk you to your car?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Hey, I'm super glad
you came tonight.
- Same.
I needed a break.
- I mean, I'm glad you came.
- Harvey!
Gonna walk me home?
- Yeah, yeah.
One sec.
- Okay, well, see you at school.
- See you.
(car door slams)
(car engine roars)
- Harv.
- Yeah, sorry.
Love how you did the pink
today, you looks nice.
- Thank you.
I ate the rest of your candy
corn, I'm really sorry.
- It's okay.
It's what it was there for.
- Okay.
It was good, heh.

(suspenseful music)
- Mr. Murphy?
It's me, it's Mary
Eldritch, your neighbor.
I wanted to apologize
for last night.
(suspenseful music)
Mr. Murphy?
Hello?
Mr. Murphy?
(suspenseful music)
(Mary lightly gasps)
Mr. Murphy?
(suspenseful music)
(milk pours)
(door slams)
- What's wrong?
- Mr. Murphy is dead.
So the police asked
me a ton of questions.
It was like they suspected me.
- Mary, don't torture
yourself, man.
It wasn't your fault.
- Well, I feel
like it's my fault
because I was probably the
last person he ever saw
and I yelled at him.
I just wanted a tip,
but not this bad.
Geez.
(Harvey laughs)
- Sorry, that was funny.
- You coming?
- No, no, actually I gotta go
grab Stephanie for a project.
- Her memorial fund?
- Good.
No, it's it's a group
thing, actually.
Hey, if you need to get
your mind off stuff later,
please just text me, okay?
Seriously.
- Okay.
- Hey.
(car door slams)
Text me, seriously.
(car engine hums)
(Carrie knocks)
- Come in.
(door clicks)
- Hey, how are you feeling?
I am so sorry about
what happened.
Losing Mr. Murphy, I mean,
that can be a really
difficult thing to process.
- Yeah, I guess.
I mean, I barely ever saw him.
It was just kind of a
shock seeing him dead.
- Yeah, well, I mean, you
can talk to me about it.
- I'll be okay.
I'm pretty much
over it, I think.
- Okay.
For now.
But you know, when you're
ready to talk about it,
your father and I will be here.
- Okay.
Thanks, Mom.
So, I gotta get a
lot of homework done.
- Yeah, of course.
I am gonna go to bed.
- Okay.
- But, I'm gonna be available
if you need to wake me up
and you need to talk.
- Good night, Mom.
- Okay.
(door clicks)
(phone buzzes)
- I'm fine, Harvey.
Geez.
(pen scratches)

(Mary breathes heavily)
(window squeaks)
(suspenseful music)
- Mary, this is ridiculous.
- Did your neighbor
maybe have one
of those hanging
ghost decorations
hanging on the street?
- Except for a jack-'o-lantern,
he never put up decorations.
- Okay.
I mean he could have done
that last night though.
- He's dead, remember?
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- Look, if you don't believe me-
- I believe you.
- Really?
- Yeah, it's Mr.
Murphy's ghost ,
trying to get revenges for
taking his Chinese food.
(Georgia laughs)
- All right, see you guys later.
- Wait, wait, wait.
(keys jingle)
(Harvey knocks)
(window hums)
Hi.
I'm sorry, I'm not
trying to be a jerk.
- You're not a jerk.
Just kind of an idiot sometimes.
- Come on.
Listen, are you bugged
that I've been hanging
out with Stephanie?
- Okay, I take it back.
You're kind of a jerk, too.
- Mary, you're telling
us a ghost story
like a week before Halloween.
What do you want us to think?
Okay, fine.
See you later, or not, probably.
(keys jingle)
(car engine roars)
- Yeah, I don't know.
I feel like she's just been
stressed out about work
and homework, and
all that stuff.
You know how she's
been recently?
- [Stephanie] Mary's been
like that since forever.
She can be kind of a
drama queen sometimes.
You remember when she
said her neighbor died,
and then she totally
fell all to pieces?
- Yeah, yeah.
That was yesterday.
- [Stephanie] Or
like a few days ago.
Anyway, so some old
guy passes away,
and suddenly, it's like,
"stop everything, ah."
You know?
- Well.
- [Stephanie] Don't
worry about her,
worry about us, Harv.
- Wait, us, why would
I worry about us?
- [Stephanie] No, I just mean,
Mary's being funny
because of us, you know?
- Not really.
- [Stephanie] So cute sometimes.
- Thanks.
(silverware clatters)
- [Stephanie] Look,
it's just since we started
spending time together
that Mary got all huffy,
and nose down at her
books and her job.
I mean, didn't you notice that?
- No, no.
I guess I didn't.
- [Stephanie] Well, whatever.
So you doing something tonight?
(something squeaks)
You're not gonna watch a scary
movie without me, I hope.
- You don't even
like scary movies.
- [Stephanie] I never said that.
I would totally
watch one with you.
- Oh, okay.
(sudden suspenseful music)
- [Stephanie] Harvey.
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
- Oh, hi, hi, sorry.
Yeah, I'm getting distracted.
I'm making myself like
a little snack thingy.
Sorry about that.
- [Stephanie] Don't
you guys have dinner
pretty late most nights?
- Yeah, but my
parents are outta town
for the next couple days
still, so, I'm here alone.
- [Stephanie] Really?
Oh, so, are you going
to invite me over?
- Probably not.
- [Stephanie] Harvey!
Come on, invite me over.
- No, no.
I just mean my parents
would murder me
if they find out
that I did that.
- [Stephanie] But
they're not there.
I could come right over.
(outside clatters)
- Sorry, no, I don't think
that's gonna work out.
Listen, I'm a little
busy right now.
Do you mind if I call you back?
- [Stephanie] Ugh, fine, bye.
- Bye.
(outside clunks)
Geez Louise.
(suspenseful music)
(blinds clatter)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom shrieks)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(chair clunks)
(suspenseful music)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(eerie music)
(handle clicks)
(door creaks)
(eerie music)
(door creaks)
(eerie music quiets)
(phone buzzes)
(suspenseful music)
- No, this is helpful.
I already know all this
stuff from watching movies.
I mean the best I
can come up with
is that it's a poltergeist,
'cause it keeps moving things.
- Yeah, but the definition
doesn't help us.
We need actual information.
Like, why it appeared
and why it's haunting us.
(Harvey snorts)
The Paranormal Goon Society?
- [Harvey] Oh boy.
- Who are these people?
- People like us?
- Yeah, but, I'm not gonna
join a weirdo club or anything.
- Oh, here's something.
It says a haunting is an emotion
that keeps repeating
itself over and over again.
- Mr. Murphy must
have been really upset
about his Chinese food.
- Yeah, or something else,
and he's just taking
it out on you.
And also me, for some reason.
- This is just ridiculous.
- What happened to
us is ridiculous.
Yet, here we are.
We need more clues
and I don't think we're
gonna find them here.
I think we're gonna
find 'em in his house.
- His house?
You wanna sneak into
Mr. Murphy's house?
- Do you have a better idea?
Look, if we're gonna
find something,
I feel like it's
gonna be in his house.
- I guess.
When do you wanna go?
- Right now.
- Wait, wait, now?
- Look, I don't wanna repeat
last night if I don't have to.
(suspenseful music)
(handle clicks)
- Ugh, it's locked.
- Yeah, I don't think they want
anybody trying to break in.
- I've never really seen
the inside of his house.
- Yeah, no one has.
I'm not dating
Stephanie, by the way.
- I never said you were.
- Yeah, but I mean I
could, if I wanted to.
- Then why don't you?
- Cause I don't want to.
- Good.
Her cat obsession is bizarre.
Let's try the back.
- Okay, fair.
But she only has
three of 'em now.
- Still too many.
(footsteps clunk)
(door handle clicks)
Ah.
Dude, what are you doing?
- Mm.
It's open.
(window slides)
(feet clatter)
(eerie music)
- Ugh, ow.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- I probably could have just
opened the door for you.
(Mary laughs)
(eerie music)
- So what are we
looking for, exactly?
Anything that would indicate
what he was doing when he died.
You know, that's causing
such negative energy
that he can't move on.
(floor creaks)
(eerie music)
- He was laying on the floor,
like right there when I saw him.
- Ah.
Like this?
- What are you doing?
Get up.
That is not even respectful.
- I'm just trying to
recreate the scene.
- An old man was lying dead
right there, two days ago.
- Okay, fine, whatever.
I dunno, Mary,
this just feels like any
other old person's house.
Check the bedroom.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey, Harvey.
Hey, Harvey, oh my gosh.
- It's a spooky kazoo.
- Geez.
(kazoo squeaks)
- I think we should
get out of here.
- What, no, I just
barely found something.
Right, so, I was looking
through his old stuff,
his old books in his room.
I think he was very
into the whole Irish
mythology legend scene.
Was he from Ireland,
do you know?
- Yeah.
Or at least his family was.
- [Harvey] Hm.
Gonna keep playing the kazoo.
- Wow.
This thing's awesome.
(suspicious music)
- Let's open it.
(chest thuds)
(suspicious music)
(lid thuds)
- Wow.
- He's got this
whole life in here.
- Mm.
(paper rustles)
- Just letters and
stuff, it looks like.
(suspicious music)
What?
- What's up?
What's happening?
- Okay, I'm in this photo.
- Oh, that's sweet.
- What were they
doing with Mr. Murphy?
- I don't know, hanging
out with the neighbor.
- Why does he have a
photo of us in his stuff?
- I don't know.
- What a creeper.
That's weird.
- Irish families.
- Wow, that sounds
so interesting.
- Everything's
Irish in this house.
He owns everything Irish.
This is a house full of Irish.
(pages rustle)
Maybe that's how he died.
- How?
- The drink.
Ha.
(pages rustle)
(suspicious music)
Oh my goodness.
- Cassette tape.
- Hey, does that
look familiar to you?
- Oh, man.
Maybe this goes way deeper
than old man Murphy's
grumpy spirit.
- Hm.
(book thuds)
(blinds clack)
- Its the police.
- Are you kidding?
- Yeah, no, I'm not.
We broke into a house.
You think someone didn't see us?
- Oh, my gosh.
- Close the chest, close it.
(chest clunks)
(suspenseful music)
- So weird, no wonder
Dad yelled at you
when you went over there.
(phone rings)
Hey.
- Hey.
So, I've been reading over
that old Murphy history book.
- Yeah?
What does it say about them?
- It's actually really
interesting stuff.
I'm really glad me nabbed this.
- Oh my gosh, I can't believe
we broke in and stole stuff.
He'll for sure be
haunting us now.
(Harvey laughs)
- Hey, we're solving a
mystery, man, come on.
- This isn't Scooby-Doo,
Harv, this is real life.
- Oh, no kidding.
Speaking of real life,
(Harvey swallows)
I think I figured
out what we both saw,
and it's super scary.
Are you ready?
- Sure.
- Okay.
So, I will summarize it for you.
Basically, in 500 A.D.,
there was this high king
of Ireland named Lughaidh.
Right, he was an ancestor of
the Murphy line, actually.
And he found out that his
wife had been unfaithful.
- Lughaidh?
- Mm hm.
Grandson of Nile of
the Nine Hostages.
That's pretty cool, right?
- You are such a nerd.
I mean, scholarly person.
- Thank you.
- [Mary] Okay, keep going.
- So, basically, he finds out
that his wife has
been canoodling,
and as punishment,
he locks her away in
a tower in the woods.
Right?
She dies later on of anguish.
And here's a really scary part.
You ready?
- So ready.
- So an ancient pagan spirit,
sort of demon monster
called Crom Cruach
was attracted by the
woman's suffering.
I guess he kind of fed
off of it, or something.
And he starts haunting all the
members of Lughaidh's clan.
He basically attaches
itself to them,
so no matter where they
go, or what they do,
they always see this apparition
on dark and stormy nights,
especially around
something called Samhain.
I think it's like a
festival or something?
- Samhain, it's the
original Halloween.
I think it was the old
Celtic New Year's Eve?
- Wait, how do you know that?
- My mom explained
it to me once.
So, are you saying Mr. Murphy
turned into a demon spirit,
like in his family's book?
- No, no, Mary don't you get it?
I think the thing we saw
last night was Crom Cruach.
- An ancient demon from
Ireland is haunting us?
- Hey, you saw the
illustration, okay?
It fits.
Look, I don't know
how it got here,
or what it did to your neighbor,
but listen, this is the
most important part.
It says it is the responsibility
of the eldest living
member of Lughaidh's line,
i.e., the Murphy's,
to placate Crom with offerings,
just as in olden days.
Or, it will consume the souls
of the High King's lineage,
one by one, until
they're all dead.
And then it will be free to
wreak havoc on the world.
- So, you're saying Mr.
Murphy was next in line
in the lineage of
the Irish king,
and now that he's dead,
this Crom thing is free?
- Murphy's name is near the
bottom of the family tree
in the book,
so yeah, he's gotta be
one of the last ones.
- There aren't any
names after his?
- He had a wife and kid, but
they both died a while ago.
- Wow.
Poor Mr. Murphy.
No wonder he was so mean.
He was probably
just really lonely.
So it wasn't Mr.
Murphy haunting us?
It was his family's
secret monster,
free now to wreak havoc.
- Yeah.
- That's just great.
- I know.
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspicious music)
(box scrapes)
(suspicious music)
(light clicks)
(envelope crinkles)
(suspicious music)
- Nothing with Mr. Murphy.
At least you're
not a creep, Mom.
(suspicious music)
(door slams)
(papers rustle)
(box thuds)
(suspenseful music)
(Steve breathes heavily)
- She's gonna love me for this.
After she recovers
from her heart attack.
(insects chirp)
You first, my lovely lady.
(hay crunches)
(phone buzzes)
(Steve sighs)
What do you mean you
can't find the place?
It's the barn in the
back of my house.
(fingers tap phone)
Mm.
(juice pours)
(Crom knocks)
Georgia?
Is that you?
(suspenseful music begins)
(Crom knocks)
Georgia?
(Crom rattles)
Is that you?
(suspenseful music)
(Crom bangs)
Georgia?
(suspenseful music)
(lantern handle squeaks)
Georgia?
(lantern handle squeaks)
(eerie music)
(Crom growls)
Georgia?
(Crom growls)
(Crom roars)
Oh!
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
No!
Stay away!
(Steve screams)
(Crom gurgles)
(eerie music)
Where is it?
(suspenseful music)
Oh, man.
- Uh, Steve?
- Georgia!
In here.
(Steve breathes heavily)
(insects chirp)
- Do you wanna tell me
what all of this is?
- Don't worry about
that, Georgia.
I just saw ghost,
a real, live ghost.
I'm not kidding.
- Oh yeah, and then you
were gonna scare me with it.
(Georgia sighs)
- Yeah, hey, Harvey.
I just got the crap
scared outta me.
Tell Mary I believe her now.
Totally believe her!
- Come on.
- You guys are so full of crap.
- She wasn't there,
she doesn't know.
- Shut up, Georgia.
I believe you.
- Seriously, because I was
there and I didn't see anything.
And why are you in such
a pissy mood today?
- Okay, okay.
The Murphy book, right?
- Uh huh.
- The Murphy history book?
I almost finished reading it.
Guys, brah.
Okay, so, the Murphy clan,
the ones that came
here to Lakeside,
initially settled in 1880.
Right?
- Uh huh.
- And they quickly
became known as,
and I quote,
some of the most valuable
and contributing
members of society.
- Wow, that didn't last.
- Absolutely not, no.
Even at the end of
the book that I had,
there was one of
those overdue library,
like stamp cards.
- Mm hm.
- It means the book was stolen.
- Wow.
- Read a freaking book,
kids, my goodness.
So that's not all,
in 1910, Carnegie, when he
built the old library, right?
The Murphy's donated
everything they had.
Right, books, old
Irish artifacts.
- So more history stuff?
- Yeah.
- Great.
(Harvey breathes heavily)
- Who's Carnegie?
And why do you know
all this random crap?
- It's history facts,
and, I dunno guys,
I think this might be our
one legit chance for a lead?
- So, we're going
to the library?
- Yeah.
- I'm in.
(suspicious music)
- This one's all
just census records
from when they were in Ireland.
Like, extended
family history stuff,
but it doesn't go that far back.
- This box is mostly
just Xerox copies
of all the newspaper clippings.
There's lot stuff in here
about a guy named Connor Murphy,
ran for mayor in Lakeside.
He won, actually.
He's the one who
donated all this stuff.
- Xeroxed?
- Yeah.
- Georgia's right,
you are weird.
(Harvey laughs)
- Now it's just weird
they haven't digitized
any of this yet.
- Maybe they had to pull
it out of the basement
for a reason.
- Sure.
- Harvey, can I talk
to you about something,
like in confidence?
- Yeah, sure, what's up?
- I found some papers
in my mom's closet.
In her box of family stuff.
- What kind of papers?
- Adoption papers.
- You're adopted?
- Sort of.
I guess the papers were
never actually signed.
- Not signed.
Okay, so what does that mean?
- I think it means that
technically I'm an O'Connor,
not an Eldritch.
I don't think that
Greg's actually my dad.
But the thing is,
when I was born,
my parents had already been
married for three years.
Please don't tell
anyone about this.
- No, of course, of course.
Have you talked to them?
- No.
- Probably should.
(book thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- Look what I found in
the restricted section.
Harry Potter, anyone?
No?
- Oh, I haven't seen
them in forever.
- Mm hm, but you watched
black and white movies?
- That's fair.
- It was actually in the
folklore and mythology section.
Our haunted history, Irish
legends, and folklore.
Alp-luatra, the joint eater.
The banshee, kasith, changeling,
Crom Cruach, right there.
Mm hm.
It even has a whole section
about the origins of Halloween,
and trick or treating and stuff.
- Well, we could find that
stuff on the internet.
- With pictures like these?
You guys can keep
looking through your
historical documents,
but after last night,
I think this is
way more practical.
(suspenseful music)
(phone buzzes)
- Ah, sure.
Couldn't it wait till
after dinner, huh?
(door clunks)
Hey, you hungry?
What's the matter?
- I don't know.
I have no idea.
I'm not even sure
whose daughter I am.
- Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey.
Honey, honey.
Wait, where did-
- In Mom's closet.
- Maybe you should
talk to your mom.
- I'm going to, but
I need to ask you-
- Why didn't we tell you?
- Why haven't you signed it?
- I-
Mary, listen.
No, no, listen, listen.
Wow, this is not how I planned
on having this conversation.
You know, I really wish you
had respected our privacy.
- Your privacy?
Your privacy?
This is about me.
Mom cheated on you, didn't she?
That's why you hate me so much.
It makes sense.
- Nope.
Hey, nobody hates
anybody, especially-
Hey, Carrie!
- [Carrie] Honey?
- Nobody hates anybody, Mary.
- So what's my real dad's name?
(Mary breathes shakily)
What is his name?
Don't I at least
deserve to know that?
Come on, you couldn't
bring yourself
to tell me I wasn't yours.
You couldn't bring
yourself to sign it,
can you at least
give me something?
- Hey, I'm coming.
What is going on?
Oh, no.
Mary, what have you done?
- What have I done?
(papers slam)
- No, no, that's
not what I meant.
It's not this, no wait.
(footsteps thud)
(suspicious music)
(door slams)
(footsteps thud)
(suspicious music)
(leaves rustle)
(suspicious music)
(leaves rustle)
(Mary breathes shakily)
(suspicious music)
(Mary cries)
(suspicious music)
(cat meows)
(insects chirp)
- What am I doing out here?
(phone buzzes)
(insects chirp)
(suspicious music concludes)
Oh, oh, oh, I see you
You sexy beast
I'm coming up there
You show your claws
And you bare your teeth
And you're a monster
Straight from my
nightmares to my life
Yeah you're a monster
(Harvey screams)
- What was that all
about there, Harvey?
- Shut up.
(Mary laughs)
You were five minutes late.
(Mary knocks)
- Okay then, that's not right.
Oh, did do you end up
talking to your parents?
- Yeah.
- How'd that go?
- Not good.
- Sorry.
(door squeaks)
- What are you wearing?
- Never mind.
- Just get inside.
- Geez Louise.
- What?
- You look cute, bro.
(door slams)
Why is this so dark in here?
- I don't want him
to know we're here.
- Okay, so you have information?
(book slams)
(intense music begins)
- I finished the book.
- Okay.
Did you find
something interesting?
- Oh yeah.
The ancient Celts
believe that the time
at the end of the harvest
and the beginning of winter
was when the wall between
life and death was thinnest.
That the spirits could
pass through, either way.
They called it Samhain.
- He does he know
how to pronounce it?
- Sh.
When the dark over
takes the light,
the book tells how they would
gather near ancient tombs,
and light gigantic bonfires
to attract the lost spirits
of those who died during
the previous year.
Showing them the way
to the afterlife,
the ancients wear
costumes of animal skin
to keep the spirits of the
Aoshi of the other world
from recognizing
and tormenting them.
- Okay, so that
explains the costume.
- It's not a costume,
it's ancient protection.
Anyways, I think I figured
out what Mr. Murphy was doing.
They used to leave food
out on the doorsteps
around Halloween time
to appease the spirits.
If a ghost came to your
house and found food,
they would leave you alone.
- So you think he was leaving
Chinese food on his doorstep
to keep this Crom Cru-
whatever, from harming him?
- Exactly.
It was attached to
his family, right?
But now that he's gone,
it's lost in the world
until Halloween night.
- Well wait, why Halloween?
What happens on Halloween?
- If it's shown the
way to the afterlife,
it will be trapped there
until the next Halloween.
- And, if it's
not shown the way?
- Well if what the
book says is true,
Crom Cruach will wreak
havoc on the world.
- Okay, so, why
didn't Mr. Murphy,
or any of the other
Murphy's already direct Crom
to the afterlife?
- I don't know.
You're the one that said Crom
was trying kill the Murphy's
so it could be free.
So maybe that had
something to do with it.
And the book says,
St. Patrick's destroy Croms
too, hundreds of years ago.
So maybe they thought
they had no tune to go to.
Or maybe they did direct
it every Halloween night,
and didn't bother
to tell anyone,
or maybe-
- Okay, Steve, we get it.
We have to direct it to a
tomb by Halloween night,
which is tomorrow,
and not get killed.
- And if we mess up,
then everyone is screwed.
Any ideas?
- I've got a plan.
- Oh boy.
(suspenseful music)
(microwave beeps)
(microwave door slams)
(Georgia sighs)
- Come on, Steve.
What could you possibly
be doing tonight?
(Georgia slurps)
Steve?
Just text me back.
(someone knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(someone knocks)
Hello?
You can come in.
(someone knocks)
Ring doesn't help,
if it's not on my phone, Mom.
(someone knocks)
(Georgia sighs)
I'm coming!
(suspenseful music)
(someone knocks)
(clock ticks)
(ticking speeds up)
(suspenseful music escalates)
(music stops)
- Harv, do you think
Steve's totally crazy?
Are we all just going crazy?
- No, I actually,
unfortunately, think he
has a pretty solid idea
of what's happening.
Yeah.
- This is all my fault.
I can't believe something
so awful could happen
just because I was an idiot.
- Oh, come on, Mary.
No, don't don't blame yourself.
Come on.
- Well, I do.
I feel terrible because
I started all of this.
I messed with his offering.
- Who's offering?
- Mr. Murphy's,
the Chinese food.
He knew what he was doing.
I thought he was crazy.
Just an old crank
who never tipped.
But, now look what's happening.
- It is a lot.
- I practically
murdered him, Harvey.
- No, no, you didn't, stop
doing that to yourself, stop.
- I did, I messed
up his offering.
Now he's dead,
there's some kind of ancient
death god on the loose.
It could be any one of us next.
(Mary breathes heavily)
Oh my gosh,
I think I'm gonna be sick.
- Okay, are you gonna pass
out, do you need sit down?
- No, I'm gonna puke.
- Okay, okay, okay.
(phone buzzes)
We'll get you-
One sec.
(Mary breathes heavily)
It's Georgia.
- Why didn't she text Steve?
She's probably messing with you.
- She said, "Help,
it's in my house."
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps thud)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Crom knocks)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Crom knocks)
(sudden suspenseful music)
- Georgia!
- Ah, Georgia!
Georgia, we're here
for you, come on!
(fingers tapping phone)
(Crom growls)
(door clicks)
(door squeaks)
(Georgia breathes shakily)
(Georgia whimpers)
(Crom growls)
(Georgia screams)
(Harvey grunts)
- I swear, it was locked.
- I think the scream
came from in here.
- Georgia!
(suspenseful music)
(Georgia whimpers)
- Okay, hey.
Hey, you're okay, you're okay.
(Georgia breathes shakily)
- I believe it now, all of it.
(suspenseful music)
So why are we building a tomb?
Couldn't we just go to a
cemetery and use the graves?
- A graveyard wouldn't work.
There's no tombs there
for Crom to enter.
The ancients gathered
her on a megalithic tomb
with an entrance
to the other world.
As I figured,
we need to be as close to
an Irish tomb as possible.
And I don't think anyone's
gonna let us dig an entrance
through their grave.
- Yeah, because this
looks just like Ireland.
You're such a nerd.
- Just finish stacking
the stupid rocks, okay?
- Yeah, whatever you
say, your majesty.
(rock clunks)
- Okay, so, Crom is lured
here by the bonfire, and us,
and then we lead
him to this tomb.
- Okay, I mean,
it's not terrible.
- Oh my gosh, I'm an idiot.
It's not gonna work.
- Why not?
This was your plan.
- Because unless something
is buried in there,
it's not a real tomb.
There's no link to
the other world.
(Mary sighs)
(Georgia laughs)
- Oh boy.
Yeah.
I know exactly who
we have to call,
and you're gonna have to
talk to her, pretty boy.
- Who?
- So you want me to what?
- Exhume your cat.
We just wanted to give
her a proper burial.
I know how much Eleanor
meant to you, and everything.
So we built her a monument.
We built her a monument,
and we just wanted to show
proper respect for the dead.
- Who is we?
- Oh, just the gang.
It's Steve, Georgia,
Mary, myself.
- The gang.
Oh, we don't really
talk like that anymore.
Also, what does exhume mean?
(birds chirp)
- Dig up.
- Ew, no, no.
That's, oh, that's so gross.
Harvey.
What are you talking about?
To ask anyone to
dig up their pet,
or literally any animal,
is disgusting and that's
really disrespectful.
The monument would
be nice though.
But Harvey,
I don't even know
why you're calling me
because I gave you a
chance and you missed it.
So, bye.
- [Harvey] No, no, wait, wait.
(phone clicks)
(Stephanie sighs)
- He'll be texting me
back second now, right?
He will.
Yes he will, Lalas.
- She hung up.
- Nice idea.
What now?
- You guys aren't seriously
giving up that easily, are you?
- She's not gonna let
us dig up her cat.
- Okay, well here's
a bright idea.
What if we just didn't ask her?
- No.
No, no, no, no.
- Mary, you're killing me.
- Yeah, you want Crom to be
set free on the world tonight?
- Okay.
What's the plan?
(intense music begins)
- Hello, Harv.
- Hi, Stephanie.
Hi.
You look beautiful.
You look so good.
- Thank you.
- Mm hm.
- What do you want?
- Look, I came to apologize
about being insensitive.
- Oh, about wanting
to dig up my cat.
Yeah, that's okay.
It's fine.
You're not the first person
has to do that before, so.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music stops)
(Stephanie sighs)
- Okay.
Oh, I have this-
This is this for you.
Stephanie, I wanted to ask
you on a proper date, tonight.
- Harvey, really?
(Harvey chuckles)
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Tonight?
- [Harvey] Yes, yes, yes.
- Go, go, go, go, go.
(suspenseful music)
(Harvey speaks indistinctly)
(suspenseful music)
(leaves rustle)
- Did you find it?
- Yeah.
Does it matter which one?
- Yeah, the freshest one.
- Ew.
(Mary laughs)
She has painted every single
stone with her cats' names.
- It's Eleanor.
- How do you know that?
- I saw the picture she posted.
(shovel crunches)
(suspenseful music)
- I was wondering if you
would be my Halloween queen?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I already totally made
some plans tonight, so.
- Oh, it's gonna be fun,
it's gonna be fun.
There's gonna be like,
the costumes, decorations.
- So you want me to be
your Halloween queen?
- Yes, that'd be great.
That'd be so good.
- Harvey, what are
you really doing here?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet!
Stop!
You put this whole thing
together just to surprise me.
- Oh.
Already-
Do you think you're
gonna be ready in time?
- I don't know.
You haven't told me where
or when it is, silly.
(Harvey laughs)
(Stephanie laughs)
- Yeah, so it's
at this old barn.
It's by this big grassy field.
Here, let me show
you on the map.
- The map?
- Mm hm, here.
Oh, you know what?
We can just-
Or I could just use your hand.
- Oh.
That's okay.
- So.
(Stephanie laughs)
- Wow.
- This is Hobble Avenue.
This is-
- Yes.
- Cherry Creek Lane.
(Harvey smacks lips)
There's the barn.
- Man, he's really
putting the moves on her.
- At what time?
- Like, seven, or midnight,
or in between eight or nine?
You know what, let's say,
I'm gonna make the
executive decision.
I'm gonna pick you up at eight.
- Okay, that's this kind
of strange, but, okay.
- Great.
So is that a yes?
- Yeah.
(leaves rustle)
(Stephanie gasps)
(suspenseful music)
- How hard can it possibly
be to dig up a dead cat?
(music concludes)
- Oh, wow.
You, Harv.
(Harvey laughs)
You're funny.
(Stephanie laughs)
- Thanks.
- Hm.
- [Harvey] So I will,
I'll see you at eight.
- Uh, uh huh.
- I'll pick you up.
- Okay.
- Oh, the theme is, for
the costumes, is animals.
- Animals?
- It's an animal theme.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye, see ya.
(Stephanie laughs)
I'll remind you.
- [Harvey] Okay.
- I'll text you.
- [Harvey] Oh, great.
- Okay.
- [Harvey] So excited.
- Goodbye.
(door squeaks)
(door clicks)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
- Yeah.
- You're not actually planning
on picking her up, right?
- Well, I have to now.
I don't wanna be a jerk.
- I think in this instance,
it's totally acceptable
for you to be a jerk.
- No, you didn't see her face.
If I stand her up, I'm
gonna break her heart.
She was so excited.
- You're ridiculous.
You're actually insane, Harvey.
That lip color looks
really great on you,
by the way.
- She's a good kisser.
- Go on.
- Vamonos, let's go.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine roars)
(suspenseful music)
(shovel bangs)
(Steve sighs)
- Mary, do the honors.
- I cannot believe
we just did this.
- Look, it has to be an
actual tomb to catch Crom.
- Who knows, maybe a
real eulogy might help.
- Oh, okay.
Ha.
Here we have buried this cat.
It was run over by a car.
Its name was-
- Eleanor.
- Its name was Eleanor.
And, may it rest in
peace for a little while,
and may Stephanie not
know, until later.
- Oh hey, freaking men.
(Mary chuckles hesitantly)
(Mary sighs)
- Good enough.
That is one
excellent Irish tomb.
- Let's up the Crom thinks so.
Sorry, Ralph.
(Greg knocks)
(door clicks)
- Hey.
What ya doing?
- I'm making a costume.
- For work?
- Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I end up taking
any orders tonight.
- Well, you should.
Everybody orders
out on Halloween.
Nobody wants to spend
the night cooking.
- Right.
- And a good costume,
that'll help you with some tips.
- Mm hm.
- Listen, Mary.
I wanted to say, I'm sorry.
For everything.
You're working.
And, I've had to work
on myself a little bit,
sort a few things out.
But I want you to know,
I'm proud of your efforts.
Your mom and I, we
had a good talk.
And, we're gonna help
you pay for your college.
Not everything,
but I'd like to help you
with your tuition
and at least make sure the
first few semesters go smoothly.
How's that sound?
- Thank you, Dad.
- Your father's
name was Patrick.
- What happened to him?
- He died in a car crash.
You were about a year old.
Be safe out there, okay?
Watch out for trick or
treaters and work hard.
- Okay.
(suspenseful music)
- Trick or treat!
- There you go!
- Oh, love the costumes.
(suspenseful music)
(leaves crunch)
(suspenseful music)
(wheel squeaks)
(insects chirp)
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so hot, I have
to take this off.
- Nope!
Back on.
- Not right now.
Please, please, leave it on.
- Why?
- It's for your own safety.
- For your own safety?
Ugh, I cannot believe that
he actually brought her.
- [Steve] Mm hm.
- I love Wing's Chinese.
It's so good.
I love the noodles.
- Yeah, well, it seemed
to fit the occasion.
- I love them.
- Just chew with your
mouth closed, please.
- Harvey, this is so fun.
Hm.
Mm.
So, Mary,
who's your date?
- Oh, you'll meet him later.
He's gonna probably
show like later tonight.
- That's right.
He'll hopefully make
an appearance later.
Probably fly in last minute.
- Who is he?
(Harvey sighs)
- Okay, it's almost
nine o'clock.
I think we should get
this party started.
- Whoa, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
What?
Sorry.
- We're gonna light the bonfire.
- Oh.
(Stephanie grunts)
(suspenseful music)
(lighter fluid squirts)
(suspenseful music)
(flame crackles)
(suspenseful music)
(fire whooshes)
- Hey, how you doing?
- I'm good.
Patrick.
My real dad's name was Patrick.
Greg told me earlier.
- Patrick.
I feel like you've
heard that name before.
- It's a pretty common name.
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
- So are we gonna
make marshmallows,
or what's happening?
(suspenseful music)
(insects chirp)
- So, is he coming?
- I don't know.
- Who?
Your date?
- No, Crom.
- Who's Crom?
- Nobody.
- Okay.
(Stephanie inhales)
Okay, so, it's been
super fun and everything,
but it's like almost midnight
and we haven't done
anything Halloweeny.
So, I'm just gonna head out.
(Stephanie clears throat)
Coming with, Harv?
Harv?
- Stephanie, I'm so sorry.
I can't.
- Oh.
- I'm sincerely, I'm so sorry.
(Stephanie sniffs)
- Look, I get it.
- No, it's-
- I'm gonna go.
- Stephanie, no, please.
Stephanie, please, please.
You can't go, okay?
- Why?
- You just can't, okay?
- Why?
- Guys?
- Don't look at me.
- Don't look at-
She's part of this
now, all right?
She's just in as much
dangerous as the rest of us.
And that's her freaking
cat we buried up there.
- Harvey!
- What?
- Who's to say Crom
isn't gonna go after her?
- What was the
thing about my cat?
- She knows too much.
We'll have to tie her up.
- Oh, no, no, Steve.
We are not tying her up.
- What did you do with my cat?
- Nothing.
- You didn't.
- Stephanie, just-
- You did not, Harvey!
- Stephanie, we're trying to
save the world, Stephanie!
- Eleanor!
Oh, Eleanor.
Eleanor!
- We should tie her up.
- No.
- Eleanor, Eleanor.
- Stephanie, wait.
- Eleanor, come on.
No, go away!
- Stephanie, wait, listen to me.
- I don't know what's
wrong with you people,
but you need some serious help.
- [Mary] Stephanie.
- I can't believe
I let you kiss me.
- Please.
Stephanie, you have
to listen to me.
- Eleanor.
- You have to leave it.
You have to leave it.
(Stephanie grunts)
We'll die.
- It's okay, it's okay.
(cat meows)
(Stephanie gasps)
What the hell was that?
What the-
Eleanor?
(cat meows)
Eleanor, is that you?
Eleanor?
Hey, Eleanor.
(cat screeches)
(sudden suspenseful music)
- Okay, okay.
I'm done.
Okay.
(cat hisses)
It's all on you guys.
(cat growls)
- Move towards the fire.
Towards me.
Move towards the
sound of my voice.
(cat growls)
Forty degrees Fahrenheit,
you're going to freeze to death.
We're trying to save
your freaking life.
- You guys, I just got chills.
(wind blows)
(suspenseful music)
He's here.
- Who's here?
- Stephanie, be quiet.
- Okay, sorry.
(eerie music)
(Harvey breaths loudly)
- Hey remember what I told you
about Mr. Murphy's family tree?
- Yeah.
- Told you he had a son, right?
- The one that died as a child.
- What?
No, no, he died
when he was like 30.
- Oh.
- Anyway, his name was Patrick.
That's where I remember
hearing the name from.
Mr. Murphy's son, Patrick,
died in an accident
like 17 years ago.
- What?
- Sh.
When he appears,
everyone quietly follow
Mary toward the tomb.
(eerie music)
(Stephanie breathes shakily)
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
- Move slowly.
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
(Stephanie whimpers)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(wind blows)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie whimpers)
- Stephanie.
Stephanie, don't.
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie whimpers)
Stephanie, don't, no!
Stephanie!
(Stephanie yells)
(Crom growls)
(neck crackles)
(eerie music)
(Crom shrieks)
(Stephanie whimpers)
Stephanie.
Whatever you do,
just don't move.
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie cries out)
(Crom growls)
(Stephanie cries)
(Crom growls)
- Mary Eldritch!
You are in big
trouble, young lady.
You lied to me.
- Dad?
- You said you were out working.
It's almost midnight,
and here you are out
with your friends?
- Dad, go away!
Get out of here!
(Crom growls)
No!
- Holy shit!
(Crom growls)
(Mary screams)
- Oh, no.
(suspenseful music)
- Patrick Murphy, I'm a Murphy.
Mr. Murphy was the protector.
I'm a Murphy!
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
Hey!
Crom Cruach!
Stop!
(Crom growls)
My name is Mary Eldritch,
and I'm the only daughter
of Patrick Murphy.
The only son of Seamus Murphy.
(Crom breathes eerily)
I'm the final living
heir of his lineage,
and you are bound to me.
(Crom growls lowly)
I demand you, let him go!
(Crom grunts)
- Mary, what are you doing?
(Crom growls lowly)
- Two minutes till midnight.
- Sh!
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.
(Crom growls and laughs)
- Ah!
- You can't do anything, Crom,
unless you kill me first.
(Crom roars)
Eat Chinese food, jerk.
(Crom gurgles)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom roars)
- Are you guys seeing
what I'm seeing?
- What the hell?
(suspenseful music)
(wind howls)
(suspenseful music)
(ghosts shriek)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom growls)
(suspenseful music)
- What is happening?
- Mary!
(Crom roars)
(Stephanie screams)
(wind howls)
(suspenseful music)
(ghosts shriek)
(Crom roars)
(Mary screams)
(rock thuds)
(music slows)
(Harvey breathes heavily)
(Mary breathes shakily)
(leave rustle)
(Stephanie breathes heavily)
- Oh, my antlers.
(Mary breathes heavily)
(Mary and Harvey laugh)
- We did it.
Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Are you?
- Yeah.
- Great.
- [Harvey] Ooh.
- Greg, Greg?
- Midnight on the dot.
Hey guys, we just
killed a demon.
- Steven, shut up.
- Greg.
Greg?
(Greg gasps)
Greg, are you okay?
(Greg coughs)
- Yeah.
Think I hit my head.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
Mary, I'm sorry,
whatever happened,
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- What was that thing?
- It's a-
It's gone now.
It's over.
Greg.
Whatever happened
between you and Mom,
I know I remind you
of it every day,
and I'm sorry for that,
but I really need
you to be my dad.
(emotional music)
- I am your dad,
and you are my little girl.
Don't you ever forget it.
(Mary breathes heavily)
- Help me get up.
(Greg groans)
- Can someone explain to me
what the hell just happened?
- It all started with a book.
(Harvey laughs)
- Come on, man.
Sorry again about the
make out situation.
- We're not roasting
marshmallows?
- Wait.
- Don't even look
in your costume.
I'm not even a
Halloween queen, am I?
- Don't you wanna know
more about the book?
- No, she really doesn't.
(insects chirp)
(bed squeaks)
(phone chimes)
(fingers tap)
(phone rings)
- Hey, Harvey.
- [Harvey] We just
saved the world!
You're the greatest!
(Mary laughs)
(suspenseful music)
(Crom shrieks)
(upbeat eerie music)
(funky music)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I see you
You sexy beast
You're coming to me
You show your claws
and your big teeth
Yeah you're a monster
Straight from my
nightmares to my life
Yeah you're a monster
A deadly creature
from the night
