House on Elm Lake Page #2

Well I don't know what to say

exactly.

Oh it's not that bad.

It isn't that bad?

Haley, it's really bad.

Well you know what I mean, like,

it happened years ago.

No one's lived here since, so.

How do you do it?

How do you stay there?

You know why, we can't

afford anywhere else.

Besides, look at this.

It is beautiful.

(EERIE MUSIC)

Don't you think this whole

situation

is moving really fast?

Crys, please, just don't go

there, okay?

Haley, I'm gonna go there.

That man cheated on you

for over six months.

Once a cheater, always

a cheater in my book.

He's changed.

Like really, he has.

Really?

Because that didn't seem fine.

But we talked about it all.

And I mean look what he's done

for us.

Like this place.

He's trying, like really hard.

Look, just because

you have a kid together

doesn't mean you have to

be together.

You're a hot girl.

Oh come on!

You could do so much

better than that.

Be your own boss.

No, look, this is gonna be

good, okay?

Like for all of us.

As a family and it's just what

we need.

Okay, so I've got to go.

I've got a date.

Oh.

Yes.

Anyone I know?

Let's just say I'll tell you

all the

naughty details later.

Okay, then have fun.

(CRYS) I will.

Penny, what are you doing?

(CREAKING)

KID:
It's really scary.

PENNY:
What happened?

KID:
I died.

Penny.

PENNY:
Wait, when?

KID:
Seven years ago.

PENNY:
Who?

KID:
My dad.

Penny.

Mom, you scared him away.

He's gone now.

What?

Smithy, he doesn't like

when other people are around.

He only likes me.

Oh come on, Penny, Smithy

isn't real.

Yes he is.

He's behind you.

There's nobody there.

Shut up, you're stupid.

All right, get to bed now.

Penny, now, I mean it.

It's late, I've had enough.

Now!

(BOOK THUMPING)

I did it.

They are gone now,

I will follow them.

I will be with them for I

have Lucifer's blood in me.

Light always needs a

source of energy.

Darkness does not need a

source of energy

therefore darkness will always

beat light.

He owns this house.

This was where generations

of his followers

have slain and appreciated

him for his work.

I obey him yet questioned him

and for this

he inflicted a great deal

of suffering upon me.

And I have not left the house

for days

due to that suffering.

(MOANING AND GROWLING)

My commitment has been said to

be proved

if I grant him my last wish.

To slay my family so they

follow my path and not God's.

Hey.

Shh, be quiet, they're asleep.

Look at the moon tonight.

Wait, he's out there.

Did you see anything?

What? No one.

Why?

I'm just freaking myself out.

Come in.

Okay.

Quick.

So, what was so urgent?
