I'm so glad you pointed that out.
I actually have a lot of experience
in social media marketing.
I helped an influencer friend of mine
successfully launch a beauty
product campaign that I,
- (DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- Ah!
- (GASPS)
- Oh my God!
That was an interview.
Oops.
What did you think was gonna happen?
Great, he just declined my call.
Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that was an interview.
Yes you did.
Okay, yeah, maybe I did.
It just must have slipped my mind.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Everything slips your mind these days.
Do you know that?
Okay, here we go again.
I try and do a harmless
prank to cheer you up
and that makes me the worst
guy in the world why exactly?
Why? You just lost me
my one chance at a job.
That's why.
So what?
He probably had to talk to,
like, 50 other people after you.
That's not the point.
Okay. It was a simple mistake.
No need to murder me for it.
And why are you dressed half naked anyways?
You look ridiculous.
I lost track of time.
Oh, so you lost track of time
and that makes me the bad guy?
Yes, it does.
I made it to my interview on time.
Does this mean we're
not having sex tonight?
Yes.
No. Maybe.
That's not the problem right now.
But little Chris wants to
take a walk in the park.
Stop it.
Peek through the bushes.
See if there's a cave nearby.
You're being very silly right now.
Oh, I'm gonna show you silly.
(KAT LAUGHING) (LIGHT MUSIC)
Phew, wow.
We should do this more often.
We're doing it already. (LAUGHS)
Maybe I just can't get enough of you.
You'll get bored.
Babe, I'm different.
Right.
I'm serious.
We should just move in together already.
It's too soon.
But you and I work.
I don't wanna spoil what we have
and there's no need to rush things.
And you know I don't have a job right now.
But that's why I can pay the bills.
I just can't.
But why?
Because it's too much weight
to put on your shoulders.
It's just not right.
Babe, I don't care.
I can make it work.
You're so sweet.
But I really wanna
figure this out on my own.
As a matter of fact...
What?
I already posted an ad
for a roommate today.
You were gonna tell me this when?
Soon, I guess.
You guess?
Look, I didn't mean it like that.
[CHRIS] No, yeah, I'm sure you didn't.
You're acting like a baby.
Come back to bed, please.
[CHRIS] I gotta work.
Like you said, I already
have too much on my plate.
Chris.
(DOOR KNOCKING)
Hey, Jessie?
Don't be shy. Come on in.
So how's the real estate market?
Bleeding, but not dead yet, so.
You know, I've always
wanted to get into real estate.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I think there's something really nice
about helping someone
find a home to build a family.
Well, what's holding you back?
I can't really afford an
entry level position right now.
Oh, I see.
Oh, actually,
my sister is gonna come and
pick me up any minute now,
so do you think we can
carry on this conversation
a little later?
Of course. (LAUGHS)
Silly me. I talk too much.
You go have fun and we'll catch up later.
[CHRIS] How's the new roommate?
She's good.
She went to hang out
with her sister for a bit.
Hope she doesn't end
up being a party animal
bringing home something we don't want.
True.
But you just let her
move in right on the spot?
You didn't even get a copy of her ID?
I guess you have a point.
Yeah.
You can never be too
careful with strangers.
So what are you doing tonight?
Let's give it just a bit.
I don't wanna encourage
her to bring home people
on the very first night.
Wow, day one and I'm
already outta the picture.
I need a drink.
Oh, poor you.
You'll get a turn.
Let's not overwhelm her
with your enthusiasm just yet.
[CHRIS] Hey, she can always join.
Sharing is caring, after all.
- (LAUGHS)
- Shut up.
It seems like the blood is
flowing to a part of your body
far away from your brain
right now, so I'm gonna go.
Nighty-night.

It's always good to cleanse the space
when you move into someplace new.
Like for the evil spirits? (LAUGHS)
Something like that.
What happened here?
Oh, this?
It's just a scratch.
It's no big deal.
By the way, could I get a
photo of your ID just in case?
Just in case for?
Just in case I come home
and all my stuff's gone?
Not that you'd do anything like that.
Like I said, just in case.
I thought you said your name was Jessie.
Yeah, everyone calls me Jessie.
I like it better.
Okay, let me just grab a photo of this.
(LAID-BACK ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC)
I don't wanna come on too strong
I'm always worried
I'll stay too long, but
What's on your mind tonight?
I love it when we can laugh together
That kinda thing, it just
makes me feel better
I'm gonna give this just one try
Oh, what if I told you
you took my breath away?
And what if I told you I
wished that I could stay?
Is it a mistake?
Will my heart break?
Or will you love when I say
What if I told you you
took my breath away?
I'm thinking maybe I'll take you out
So we can get a little closer now
Let's hear what's on your mind
(PHONE RINGING)
'Cause all this time
I've been wondering
(PHONE RINGING)
Are you feeling what I'm feeling?
Or should I just let this slide?
Busy?
No, I just dropped someone off.
What's up?
You don't look very happy.
I just asked for her ID and
she acted all weird about it.
- (GASPS)
- How dare she!
Kick her out, move me in.
I'm serious.
She hesitated for a bit.
And guess what?
Jessie isn't even her real name.
Told you you can't trust strangers.
[KAT] I guess you did, huh?
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- Hey, I gotta go.
I just got a request.
What if I told you I
wish that I could stay?
What if I told you you
took my breath away?
Hey, you moved in so quick,
we never even got the
chance to know each other.
Where did you live before this?
[JESSIE] With my ex.
What happened?
Well, we got into a fight,
called the cops on me, kicked me out.
I don't really wanna talk about it.
That's intense.
I'd be pissed if that was my boyfriend.
Yeah, he was a psycho.
What about you? You got a boyfriend?
Yeah.
You'll meet him sometime, I'm sure.
Oh, I'm so rude.
Do you want a glass of wine?
Um, sure, why not?
[KAT] The wine is okay.
Not the worst, but also not the best.
(LAUGHS)
(SIGHS)
[JESSIE] What doesn't kill
you makes you stronger.
Cheers, to new beginnings.
(GLASSES CLINK)
Mm, also, add your contacts to my phone
and feel free to add
me on any social media.
I don't really do social media.
Doesn't hurt to have some fans.
Do you have a lot of fans?
I'm working on it.
I have probably one sane
person for every a hundred creeps.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Oh wait, tell me more.
My hands are shaking.
Who doesn't love waking up
to a hundred dick pics every morning?
Oh wait, I changed my mind.
Where do I sign up?
(BOTH LAUGH)
(DOOR KNOCKS)
- Hey, hey.
- Hey!
What's that smell?
Oh, Jessie smudged the apartment?
[CHRIS] That's weird. Why?
She's in her room.
Oh, sorry.
- There you go.
- Thank you, mister.
Looks like someone made some money today.
I don't know what you'd do without me.
[KAT] Oh, Jessie, this
is my boyfriend, Chris.
You don't really look the realtor type.
What do I look like, then?
Can't put my finger on it yet.
Time will tell.
Do you wanna join us for dinner?
Only if you're not cooking.
You guys are just jealous
of my cooking skills.
Cooking skills?
Babe, if the world ended and
you had the last restaurant,
you would still have zero customers.
(WOMEN LAUGH)
You two are hurting my feelings.
Aww, poor baby.
Okay, if you guys are gonna
keep ganging up on me,
I'm just gonna take my wine and get out.
Over my dead body.
That is so rude.
Okay, let's see what you girls got.
And then he was like,
"Babe, we need to find a gas station.
I think I'm gonna shit my pants."
Oh my God. (ALL LAUGH)
But what about you?
Do you have anyone special?
Before I answer that.
Ugh, that bad, huh?
Guess attracting
assholes is kinda my thing.
Oh, don't lose hope.
Just takes a little practice.
How much practice are we talking here?
Just a little.
I hope so.
You two are love birds, aren't you?
You're so right.
But enough about us.
Where are you from?
I don't think you guys wanna know about me.
Don't say that.
Of course we do.
Well, I really don't wanna
ruin the moment, you know?
We'd love to hear more about you
if that's something you're open to.
All right.
(SIGHS)
I grew up a gypsy.
It's kinda hard to remember.
I was really young.
But I do remember moving around a lot.
And then one day...
Yeah, one day?
Everybody was gone.
Wait, they just abandoned you?
Your own parents?
Why?
I guess I'll never know.
But they did find a note when they found me
that had the name of a
South American moth on it.
You mean like an insect?
Yes.
What was the name?
It translates to the black witch.
Who's that?
So people in my tribe used
to tell stories of this woman
that made a pact with a demon
and she would steal souls for it.
In return, she would be
able to stay young forever.
Only if she kept her end of the bargain.
Okay, guys, I really
don't like to talk about
this kinda stuff.
Can we change the subject, please?
Babe, hold on.
So what would the demon do with the souls?
No one lived long enough to tell.
Well, do you know the demon's name?
I'm not gonna say its name.
Why not?
Bad things happen when I say its name.
What kinda bad things?
Trust me, you wouldn't want to know.
Come on.
You can't just leave us hanging like that.
Babe, I think that's enough.
They say that if an outsider
spells out its full name,
it won't stop until that
person dies a horrific death.
Guys. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
All right, I guess we can stop there
on a positive note.
To new friendships.
(GLASSES CLINK)
She seemed nice.
Nicer than me?
Babe, I love you.
Are you sure you have to go?
Bills aren't gonna pay themselves.
What? No way.
Ha ha. Very funny.
Drive safe.

What?
Geez, who crapped in
your cereal this morning?
I'm not having the best
day of my life, that's all.
Are you still mad at me about last night?
Why didn't you stay?
You're never here when I need you, Chris.
Stay?
Is this a joke?
Kat, I told you I couldn't
make it last night.
What are you talking about?
Kat, I was never there.
I called you around nine, remember?
You called me?
That's right, Kat, yes.
Are you on something?
I told you I got a flat
and I didn't have a spare tire,
so I had to wait for the tow truck to come.
Are you sure you're not
mixing up the boyfriends?
Don't be ridiculous.
I dunno.
Check your phone.
Maybe it'll help you
remember whose turn it was.
(PHONE BEEPS)
How is this possible?
[CHRIS] Hey, this is Chris.
I can't come to the phone right now.
Or maybe I can, but I don't want to.
So leave a message and see what happens.
(LAUGHS) Bye.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Will you answer your goddamn phone, please?
I don't know what you're
thinking, but I gotta talk to you.
I'm dead serious.
You have no idea what happened to me.
Call me back.
(GASPS) Thank god you're here.
Is something wrong?
I keep thinking about it,
and if I don't ask I'll go crazy.
Well, maybe I already have.
I'm not gonna take the chance.
I'm sorry. I'm not making any sense.
Could you please remind
me what happened last night?
Excuse me?
I blacked out.
I don't remember a damn thing.
Could you refresh my memory?
- (LAUGHS)
- Okay.
Okay, I don't know what
games you're playing,
but I'm really.
Please.
Okay.
We were talking.
You passed out on the couch.
I went to bed and then I
woke up and you weren't here.
That's it?
Okay. Can I go now?
You and I never had
dinner with my boyfriend?
You never met him?
Are you using something?
What? No.
Why does everyone keep asking me that?
Because like you said,
you're not making any sense.
(DOORS CREAKING AND SHUTTING)

What are you doing in front of my room?
I was, I was just.
Are you spying on me?
What? No. That's absurd.
I thought I heard your voice
and I just wanted to see if you
wanted to chat or something.
At three AM in the morning.
Right, it sounds weird
when you say it like that.
I just wanted a friendly chat.
Didn't mean to weird you out, sorry.
Next time, knock on the door
if you wanna say something.
(FLOOR CREAKING)
(BLENDER WHIRRING)
Ugh.
(JESSIE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
(CHRIS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
And then, whoosh!
The killer pops out of nowhere
and chops her into two
pieces with his gigantic axe.
- (LAUGHS)
- Oh, what a way to go.
Right?
Such a good movie.
You should definitely watch it.
It's so cool that you watch horror films.
Are you kidding me?
I grew up on horror films.
Actually, my uncle
worked in prosthetic effects
back in the '90s.
Wow, no way.
[KAT] Can I talk to you a second?
Hey babe, I was just gonna
come in and wake you up.
Anyways, I should probably head out.
See you guys.
(DOOR CLOSES)
I see you went from zero to 60 in no time.
Good job.
Oh, so meeting your new
roommate's a crime now?
Not a crime. Just disrespectful.
Disrespectful for what?
You ignored my calls for two days straight
and then one morning I find you drooling
all over my roommate in the kitchen?
I'm not stupid, Chris.
Oh my God.
We were having a conversation
like two civilized people.
You're blowing this way out of proportion.
Oh yeah?
What if we flip sides, then?
You went MIA inventing
imaginary boyfriends,
accusing me of something I
never did just two days ago.
How about that?
- That was different.
- No, it wasn't!
What are we doing here?
I came here because I missed you
and I should've come earlier
and I'm sorry that I acted immature.
I don't know what's going on,
but I wanna be there for you.
Tell me what happened.
Let's figure it out.
So I went to check it out, right?
I went to her room and I
heard her talking gibberish
like she was in some sort of weird trance.
She was like, "Ma sha blah, blah, blah."
Maybe she was meditating.
It doesn't sound that weird.
What if she knows a different language?
Trust me, this wasn't something
they would've taught her in school.
It was different.
Different how?
Like she was doing a ritual or something.
(LAUGHS)
I think your imagination is
running a little wild again.
Why are you siding with her?
Babe, I'm not.
I'm just trying to find a
logical explanation, that's all.
You're not getting it.
Okay, you know what?
Why don't we go in there and check it out.
Will that make you feel better?
You want us to invade her privacy?
Is there any other way?
We go in that room
and you either put it behind you
or you do something about it.
(TENSE HORROR MUSIC)
Okay, to hell with it.
I can't live like this.
(SWITCH CLICKS) (DOOR CREAKING)
Make sure you put everything back
exactly the way you found it.
No, I'm gonna scatter across the room.
I'm just saying.
I'm not seeing anything.
[CHRIS] Well, I am.
What?
[CHRIS] Check this out.
Is that what I think it is?
It's for rituals.
And I'm not even gonna touch that.
[KAT] What is that for?
You don't wanna know.
[KAT] Tell me what it's for.
It's for evocation
or to summon the spiritual entity or demon.
Are you serious?
[CHRIS] Seen it in a few movies.
You'd know if you liked horror also.
Okay, this isn't about me right now.
You're right, sorry.
(DRAWERS SLIDING)
Check this out.
Pendulum.
And another one.
[KAT] What's a pendulum?
[CHRIS] A pendulum is what you use
to contact the entity or demon.
Similar to a Ouija board.
I don't see anything else.
Holy shit.
What?
Is this salt?
It is.
Stop sticking your finger
in foreign substances
and putting it in your mouth.
You're gonna catch
something and give it to me.
You say give it to me all the time.
Relax, it's just salt.
So we have salt, candles, a pendulum.
[CHRIS] Which are all used for.
[BOTH] Making a ritual.
If you were making a ritual,
you would need some kind of aid.
A book.
Exactly.
- Where would it be?
- We've looked everywhere.
[CHRIS] Maybe she takes it with her.
She never carries a bag and
she doesn't have a car, so...
Are you sure you checked
underneath the bed?
Yeah, I did.
There was nothing there.
When you were a kid, where
did you store your valuables?
You know, stuff that you
didn't want your mom to find.
Under the bed.
You don't think she would
just look underneath the bed?
- (SIGHS)
- I was a kid, wasn't I?
Okay, well, I don't know if
you wanna know this about me,
but when I was a kid,
I would store my magazines
under the mattress.
Very creative.
Look at this.
Holy shit.
Open it.
Chris, this is really starting to worry me.
Your roommate is a professional witch.
[KAT] Professional or not,
that bitch is outta here.
Okay, so you're gonna
tell her you went in her room
and "accidentally" went
through all of her stuff?
I don't care.
I don't want stuff like this in my home
and I didn't sign up for this.
I think you're overreacting a little bit.
This could just be her hobby.
Pilates is a hobby.
Running marathons is a hobby.
Dabbling in witchcraft
and trying to communicate
with God knows what
is not a hobby.
Oh my god she's home, put it back.

I'll be back before you know it.
I can't believe you right now.
There's no need to act crazy.
I can't just sit around
and babysit you all day.
(KAT SCOFFS)
You're gonna run into her eventually.
So now you call it babysitting.
That's not what I meant.
Babe, you're gonna have to face this.
She's not going anywhere, okay?
Just act cool as if nothing
happened and it'll all be fine.
Stay in your room if you have to.
[KAT] Whatever.
Don't whatever me.
You know I'm right.
This job will help
knock off a couple bills,
and it's not like I'm leaving you
with some serial killer or something.
She's still your roommate.
I prefer a serial killer.
At least then I know what I'm up against.
Just relax.
Take a nap.
I'll be back before you know it.

Did you lock the door?
No.
I never lock the door
when I go out for a smoke.
Why are you walking around wearing that?
Because I wanna take a shower?
It's one o'clock in the morning.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know your bathroom had a deadline.
What if she bumps into you?
Babe, it's a towel.
A swimsuit is more erotic than this.
What?
Nothing.
Both of you having this
sudden urge to clean up
in the middle of the night
is just a bit strange to me, that's all.
Well, I don't know what her deal is,
but I just wanted to
get into the bed fresh.
Is that a crime?
It's not a crime, it's just weird.
How long was I out for?
I don't know. I just got here.
I thought you'd have your suit on.
Yeah, well, I went home
when the guy canceled on me,
so I cracked a beer and
passed out on the couch.
When I woke up, I saw the time
and I came here to salvage the night.
I don't know what the big deal is.
Nothing. It is what it is.
You know what's really
starting to get under my skin?
Ever since that girl moved
in, you've been acting crazy.
Maybe it's because there's a
witch that lives in my house.
Come on, Kat.
Look, I get it.
The book, the salt, it's a little extreme.
But you acting like your
life is in imminent danger
is a bit over the top.
Some people are just into that kinda stuff.
Well, I'm not.
And that's fine,
but drop the paranoia,
'cause it's really starting to wear me out.
You do this, she does that.
Give people a break.
Oh yeah.
You were practically
begging me to live together
just a few days ago,
and now all of a sudden you want a break?
That's because you weren't
acting crazy back then.
You've become literally obsessed with her.
I can't believe you've
just said that to me.
You don't get it, do you?
I have been having horrific
nightmares since she moved in
and I just want my life back.
With or without you.
I wanna be in it,
and that's why I drove 20
miles just to sleep next to you.
Then how come my gut is
screaming you never actually left?
(CHRIS SCOFFS)

Or maybe I can, but I don't want to.

[HOST] And then the door gently tapped
on the bedroom wall.
She slowly lowered the
blanket to see an entity
standing by the room entrance
looking at her with death stares.
Her eyes locked like a cat's eyes.
Her face was mimicless.
She opened her mouth wide
and pointed her long fingers at the girl.
The mouth had no teeth or tongue.
It was like a black void
ready to swallow anything
that comes nearby.
An unbearably loud pitching
sound echoed in her bedroom.
Sarah covered her ears
and slid under her blanket.
She cannot remember for
how long this had to continue.
What she remembers is
the psychological therapy
she had to go through to get over it.

You are listening to "The Cursed Hour,"
the number one radio
podcast for paranormal activity.
If you are at home, give us a call.
If you have a scary story to tell
or need to ask any questions,
call our hotline now at 310-555-2905.
We'll be waiting.
And remember, if you manage to connect,
please make sure to mute
your TV to prevent any reverb.
It seems like we have a live
call from one of our viewers.
May I have your name, please?
Hey, I'm Katherine, but
my friends call me Kat.
[HOST] Mm-hmm.
Nice to meet you, Kat.
What's the purpose of your call tonight?
I'm having paranormal experiences.
I think that my roommate might be a witch?
[HOST] Wow.
A witch roommate.
Now, that's interesting.
Do you have any proof
you can share with us, Kat?
Yeah, my boyfriend and I found a spell book
and some witches materials in her room.
[HOST] Mm-hmm.
Leaving out the fact that
what the fuck were you two doing in there?
But that's some hardcore stuff.
You should be very careful, Kat.
What kind of paranormal experiences
have you been going through lately?
Apparitions.
I've seen people that look like me,
but with really different features.
[HOST] Like what?
Like their eyes, hands,
and feet don't look right.
(JUMP SCARE MUSIC)
[HOST] Okay.
What else?
Objects moving by their selves.
Loss of consciousness.
Losing touch with reality.
[HOST] Kat, did you confront
your roommate about this?
Yeah, I actually got into a fight with her
about it this morning,
and of course she
pretended like it was nothing
and that I was the insane one.
[HOST] Oh my, you
shouldn't have done that, Kat.
You never, ever confront a witch
unless you have the necessary tools.
I didn't know that.
[HOST] (sighs) Anyways, did she tell you
about what she practices?
White magic, black magic, both?
No, but her spell book has a pentagram,
so that can't be good, right?
[HOST] I have to admit,
that's very concerning.
Shit.
I knew it.
[HOST] Anything else you can think of?
Yeah.
She told me this story about a moth
that's name translates to black witch.
She said something about how if an outsider
mentions its name,
they will be killed in a horrific way.
I (SOMETHING BANGS)
I've been actually
hearing noises all night.
[HOST] No, God, Kat, you
gotta get the hell outta there.
Get out and go where?
Well, if you can't leave the
house, then burn the book.
That's the only way.
What you're interacting
with is a very powerful demon
that can shape shift into anything
you can ever imagine except humans.
God restricted them in a way
that when they shape shift to a human form,
they can only do that with a distinct flaw.
There will be a physical
trait that won't look natural.
Can I protect myself from them?
Burn the book.
If you can't,
then you gotta cleanse
the whole place every day
for the next seven days.
(SOMETHING BANGING)
When our chat's over, email me,
and I'll send you over
a list of items to buy.
Also, you gotta listen
to very positive things.
You gotta be in a good vibe.
Demons are attracted to
negative thoughts and emotions.
Right.
Thank you.
I don't know what I
would've done without you.
[HOST] I don't know what
I'd do without me, either.
But anyways, I see that
you like to blabber on
and I got other viewers
that need my help, too,
so talk to you later.

Babe, I just got a job offer
that has a six-figure salary.
Good for you.
Don't say that.
What does it even matter
without you by my side?
Hey, I don't need your money,
and I was content with
things the way they were,
but what I want is someone
who's gonna be there for me
when I need it most.
Look, I know I screwed up
and I know you never cared about the money.
You don't need to remind me of that.
Sometimes I act frivolous
and I let my short
temper get the best of me.
And I hate when you do that.
I know you do, but those are my flaws,
and I definitely don't like them,
and I'm trying to better
myself every single day
because I love you and
you deserve the best.
I'm sorry.

It translates to the black witch.
Who's that?
So people in my tribe used
to tell stories of this woman
that made a pact with a demon
and she would steal souls for it.
In return, she would be
able to stay young forever.
Only if she kept her end of the bargain.
Okay, guys, I really
don't like to talk about
this kinda stuff.
Can we change the subject, please?
Babe, hold on.
So what would the demon do with the souls?
No one lived long enough to tell.
Well, do you know the demon's name?
I'm not gonna say its name.
Why not?
Bad things happen when I say its name.
What kinda bad things?
Trust me, you wouldn't want to know.
Come on.
You can't just leave us hanging like that.
Babe, I think that's enough.
They say that if an outsider
spells out its full name,
it won't stop until that
person dies a horrific death.
Guys. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
All right, I guess we can stop there
on a positive note.
To new friendships.
(GLASSES CLINK)
She seemed nice.
Nicer than me?
Babe, I love you.
Are you sure you have to go?
Bills aren't gonna pay themselves.
What? No way.

You're never here when I need you, Chris.
Stay?
Is this a joke?
Kat, I told you I couldn't
make it last night.
What are you talking about?
Kat, I was never there.
I called you around nine, remember?
You called me?
That's right, Kat, yes.
Are you on something?
I told you I got a flat
and I didn't have a spare tire,
so I had to wait for the tow truck to come.
Are you sure you're not
mixing up the boyfriends?
Don't be ridiculous.
I dunno.
Check your phone.

Is something wrong?
I keep thinking about it,
and if I don't ask I'll go crazy.
Well, maybe I already have.
I'm not gonna take the chance.
I'm sorry. I'm not making any sense.
Could you please remind

Excuse me?
I blacked out.
I don't remember a damn thing.
Could you refresh my memory?

Okay, I don't know what

but I'm really.
Please.
Okay.
We were talking.
You passed out on the couch.
I went to bed and then I
woke up and you weren't here.
That's it?
Okay. Can I go now?
You and I never had

You never met him?

You should definitely watch it.
It's so cool that you watch horror films.

I grew up on horror films.
Actually, my uncle
worked in prosthetic effects

Wow, no way.

Hey babe, I was just gonna

Anyways, I should probably head out.
See you guys.

I see you went from zero to 60 in no time.
Good job.
Oh, so meeting your new
roommate's a crime now?
Not a crime. Just disrespectful.
Disrespectful for what?
You ignored my calls for two days straight
and then one morning I find you drooling
all over my roommate in the kitchen?
I'm not stupid, Chris.
Oh my God.
We were having a conversation
like two civilized people.
You're blowing this way out of proportion.
Oh yeah?
What if we flip sides, then?
You went MIA inventing
imaginary boyfriends,
accusing me of something I
never did just two days ago.
How about that?
- That was different.
- No, it wasn't!
What are we doing here?
I came here because I missed you
and I should've come earlier
and I'm sorry that I acted immature.
I don't know what's going on,
but I wanna be there for you.
Tell me what happened.
Let's figure it out.
So I went to check it out, right?
I went to her room and I
heard her talking gibberish
like she was in some sort of weird trance.
She was like, "Ma sha blah, blah, blah."
Maybe she was meditating.
It doesn't sound that weird.
What if she knows a different language?
Trust me, this wasn't something
they would've taught her in school.
It was different.
Different how?
Like she was doing a ritual or something.
(LAUGHS)
I think your imagination is
running a little wild again.
Why are you siding with her?
Babe, I'm not.
I'm just trying to find a
logical explanation, that's all.
You're not getting it.
Okay, you know what?
Why don't we go in there and check it out.
Will that make you feel better?
You want us to invade her privacy?
Is there any other way?
We go in that room
and you either put it behind you
or you do something about it.
(TENSE HORROR MUSIC)
Okay, to hell with it.
I can't live like this.
(SWITCH CLICKS) (DOOR CREAKING)
Make sure you put everything back
exactly the way you found it.
No, I'm gonna scatter across the room.
I'm just saying.
I'm not seeing anything.
[CHRIS] Well, I am.
What?
[CHRIS] Check this out.
Is that what I think it is?
It's for rituals.
And I'm not even gonna touch that.
[KAT] What is that for?
You don't wanna know.
[KAT] Tell me what it's for.
It's for evocation
or to summon the spiritual entity or demon.
Are you serious?
[CHRIS] Seen it in a few movies.
You'd know if you liked horror also.
Okay, this isn't about me right now.
You're right, sorry.
(DRAWERS SLIDING)
Check this out.
Pendulum.
And another one.
[KAT] What's a pendulum?
[CHRIS] A pendulum is what you use
to contact the entity or demon.
Similar to a Ouija board.
I don't see anything else.
Holy shit.
What?
Is this salt?
It is.
Stop sticking your finger
in foreign substances
and putting it in your mouth.
You're gonna catch
something and give it to me.
You say give it to me all the time.
Relax, it's just salt.
So we have salt, candles, a pendulum.
[CHRIS] Which are all used for.
[BOTH] Making a ritual.
If you were making a ritual,
you would need some kind of aid.
A book.
Exactly.
- Where would it be?
- We've looked everywhere.
[CHRIS] Maybe she takes it with her.
She never carries a bag and
she doesn't have a car, so...
Are you sure you checked
underneath the bed?
Yeah, I did.
There was nothing there.
When you were a kid, where
did you store your valuables?
You know, stuff that you
didn't want your mom to find.
Under the bed.
You don't think she would
just look underneath the bed?
- (SIGHS)
- I was a kid, wasn't I?
Okay, well, I don't know if
you wanna know this about me,
but when I was a kid,
I would store my magazines
under the mattress.
Very creative.
Look at this.
Holy shit.
Open it.
Chris, this is really starting to worry me.
Your roommate is a professional witch.
[KAT] Professional or not,
that bitch is outta here.
Okay, so you're gonna
tell her you went in her room
and "accidentally" went
through all of her stuff?
I don't care.
I don't want stuff like this in my home
and I didn't sign up for this.
I think you're overreacting a little bit.
This could just be her hobby.
Pilates is a hobby.
Running marathons is a hobby.
Dabbling in witchcraft
and trying to communicate
with God knows what
is not a hobby.
Oh my god she's home, put it back.

You're gonna run into her eventually.
So now you call it babysitting.
That's not what I meant.

She's not going anywhere, okay?
Just act cool as if nothing
happened and it'll all be fine.
Stay in your room if you have to.
[KAT] Whatever.
Don't whatever me.
You know I'm right.
This job will help
knock off a couple bills,

Why are you walking around wearing that?
Because I wanna take a shower?
It's one o'clock in the morning.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know your bathroom had a deadline.
What if she bumps into you?
Babe, it's a towel.
A swimsuit is more erotic than this.
What?
Nothing.
Both of you having this
sudden urge to clean up
in the middle of the night
is just a bit strange to me, that's all.
Well, I don't know what her deal is,
but I just wanted to
get into the bed fresh.
Is that a crime?
It's not a crime, it's just weird.
How long was I out for?
I don't know. I just got here.
I thought you'd have your suit on.
Yeah, well, I went home
when the guy canceled on me,
so I cracked a beer and
passed out on the couch.
When I woke up, I saw the time
and I came here to salvage the night.
I don't know what the big deal is.
Nothing. It is what it is.
You know what's really
starting to get under my skin?
Ever since that girl moved
in, you've been acting crazy.
Maybe it's because there's a
witch that lives in my house.
Come on, Kat.
Look, I get it.
The book, the salt, it's a little extreme.
But you acting like your
life is in imminent danger
is a bit over the top.
Some people are just into that kinda stuff.
Well, I'm not.
And that's fine,
but drop the paranoia,
'cause it's really starting to wear me out.
You do this, she does that.
Give people a break.
Oh yeah.
You were practically
begging me to live together
just a few days ago,
and now all of a sudden you want a break?
That's because you weren't
acting crazy back then.
You've become literally obsessed with her.
I can't believe you've
just said that to me.
You don't get it, do you?
I have been having horrific
nightmares since she moved in
and I just want my life back.
With or without you.
I wanna be in it,
and that's why I drove 20
miles just to sleep next to you.
Then how come my gut is
screaming you never actually left?

on the bedroom wall.
She slowly lowered the

standing by the room entrance
looking at her with death stares.
Her eyes locked like a cat's eyes.
Her face was mimicless.
She opened her mouth wide
and pointed her long fingers at the girl.
The mouth had no teeth or tongue.
It was like a black void
ready to swallow anything

An unbearably loud pitching
sound echoed in her bedroom.

May I have your name, please?
Hey, I'm Katherine, but
my friends call me Kat.
[HOST] Mm-hmm.
Nice to meet you, Kat.
What's the purpose of your call tonight?
I'm having paranormal experiences.
I think that my roommate might be a witch?
[HOST] Wow.
A witch roommate.
Now, that's interesting.
Do you have any proof
you can share with us, Kat?
Yeah, my boyfriend and I found a spell book
and some witches materials in her room.
[HOST] Mm-hmm.
Leaving out the fact that
what the fuck were you two doing in there?
But that's some hardcore stuff.
You should be very careful, Kat.
What kind of paranormal experiences
have you been going through lately?
Apparitions.
I've seen people that look like me,
but with really different features.
[HOST] Like what?
Like their eyes, hands,
and feet don't look right.
(JUMP SCARE MUSIC)
[HOST] Okay.
What else?
Objects moving by their selves.
Loss of consciousness.
Losing touch with reality.
[HOST] Kat, did you confront
your roommate about this?
Yeah, I actually got into a fight with her
about it this morning,
and of course she
pretended like it was nothing
and that I was the insane one.
[HOST] Oh my, you
shouldn't have done that, Kat.
You never, ever confront a witch
unless you have the necessary tools.
I didn't know that.
[HOST] (sighs) Anyways, did she tell you
about what she practices?
White magic, black magic, both?
No, but her spell book has a pentagram,
so that can't be good, right?
[HOST] I have to admit,
that's very concerning.
Shit.
I knew it.
[HOST] Anything else you can think of?
Yeah.
She told me this story about a moth
that's name translates to black witch.
She said something about how if an outsider
mentions its name,
they will be killed in a horrific way.

I've been actually
hearing noises all night.
[HOST] No, God, Kat, you
gotta get the hell outta there.
Get out and go where?
Well, if you can't leave the
house, then burn the book.
That's the only way.
What you're interacting
with is a very powerful demon
that can shape shift into anything
you can ever imagine except humans.
God restricted them in a way
that when they shape shift to a human form,
they can only do that with a distinct flaw.
There will be a physical
trait that won't look natural.
Can I protect myself from them?
Burn the book.
If you can't,
then you gotta cleanse
the whole place every day
for the next seven days.

When our chat's over, email me,
and I'll send you over

negative thoughts and emotions.

would've done without you.

not literal fireworks,
but spells that require
the energy of a fire.
I've set up some candles, fireplace,
and this will be my
seance circle, if you will.
So, the spell that will get back
at whoever has wronged you in any way.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Repeat this and the fire should be reacting
off of the spell.
Once you repeat those words,
you hold the pendulum over the fire
and you let the fire's
energy start to sway.
Okay.
(EXHALES)
Now comes the fun part.
Ready?

Deep breaths.

Whatever you do, don't
break the circle until I say so.
[CHRIS] Okay.
Whatever happens, don't step in the circle.
[CHRIS] Okay, I got it.
Oh, don't worry, sweetie.
It'll all be over very soon.
You won't feel a thing.
You're here for a great purpose.
Ah, Jessie will have to make do with yours
until we can find her
a suit that she wants.
I'm sorry, babe.
But she can do things,
great things that you can only imagine.
Shut up. I'm trying to concentrate.
Hey, fuck you.
I'm allowed to say my goodbyes.
We had a lot of good times together.
Oh, you and me had some
great times together, too.
Now cut the crap and
let's get down to business.
Don't get all emotional on me now.
You know I hate that in a man.
[CHRIS] Whatever.
I wish there was an other way.
[MARIA] Okay, here we go.

Now do it.
Cut her throat, now.
I can't do it.
I'm sorry.
Are you crazy?
You have to keep your end of the bargain.
You got what you wanted.
You can't just change your mind now.
I just can't.
I still love her.
You think you can get out of this alive?
Shut up.
He'll never forgive you or your family.
I said shut up.
A deal is a deal.
[CHRIS] God, shut up,
shut up, shut up, shut up.
If you don't do this, we're all gonna die.
You sure had no problem fucking me
when she was in the next room.
Do you think she'll ever forgive you?
Just take what's yours and be done with it.
[CHRIS] I can't.
Do it right now, you idiot,
or we're all gonna die.
(TENSE, PULSING ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
I can't.
Do it, you idiot, or
we're all going to die.
Do it.
- Do it.
- No.
Do it, do it, do it!

Broken into
Torn apart
Worlds colliding
And there we are
Here I stand
Painted red
With thoughts of whispers
Inside my head
Dirty water
Wash me clean
You'll always be a part of me
There's blood on my hands
Lights are fading out
I feel it coming down
Open up my eyes
And see the weight inside
'Cause here I stand
Painted red
Dirty water
Wash me clean
You'll always be a part of me
There's blood on my
There's blood on my hands
