Day one in the Browning house.

It's moving in day

Been going at it since

pretty early this morning.

Uh, Stella should be home

in a couple of hours,

and hopefully everything should

pretty much be in its place.

No activity thus far.

All right, house...

show me what you got.

[ music sting ]

[ orchestral Music ]

Hey, lady.

Hi.

How was your day?

It was good, it was very good.

Wow!

You got a lot done.

Not too bad, right?

Uh-uh.

So...you ready for your

first night in a haunted house?

As ready as I'll ever be.

Oh, hold on one second,

I gotta show you something.

Okay.

Check those out.

What are they?

Those are pictures of the

house after the crime scene

was cleaned up and there's even

one of the family in there.

So this is them?

Yeah.

It's horrible to think

they all died in here.

Who's bedroom was this?

That was the little boy's room.

I'd like you to play close

attention to that picture

cause I would really love it

if you could decorate that room

to look just like the picture

while I finish

the office tonight.

What?

Why would I do that?

Well, supposedly, if you

recreate the house

to look like it did when

they lived here,

it can actually make

the spirits more active.

Okay, that's a little creepy.

You ready to go to work?

No...

Can't we just enjoy our first

night together?

The box is already

in the room.

But, when it's empty...

[ laughs ]

Doesn't seem right.

Decorating a room

for a dead kid.

Paul?

What was the kid's name?

Uh, it was Tom.

Sorry about what

happened to you, Tom.

There's definitely something

off about this place.

it's like the air is

heavy or something.

It has a certain

energy to it, doesn't it?

Yeah... it's kind of exciting.

Isn't it?

Yeah... and a little creepy.

No need to worry,

little lady, I'll protect you.

Oh, well that's reassuring.

Ouch.

You're so mean to me

all the time.

Oh, do you think they would

let us paint the walls

while we're staying here?

Yeah, I think so.

Awesome.

Why? What color

were you thinking?

Well, you know how I like color,

and lots of it,

so I was thinking, how about

a deep blood red.

Blood red.

Yeah, it'll match right?

The ghosts will like it.

Yeah, it'll probably match what

the house used to look like.

There was a lot

of blood on the walls.

You didn't tell me that

something actually happened

in this room.

Yeah.

Great, what?

The guy shot his wife

in this room.

Are you--

Exactly where you're

laying right now.

Shut up.

Wait.

What?

What's that?

Oh, look, it's brain matter.

Oh, my god.

Night. Thanks.

Oh, come on.

I'm just teasing.

Mm-hmm.

[ music ]

[ door creaking ]

[ movement ]

[ bang ]

Paul...Paul wake up.

Huh? What?

I heard something moving

around out there.

And didn't we shut

the door last night?

Yeah, I think so.

It's open now.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go take a look.

Who knows, maybe our experiences

will start tonight.

Nothing.

I know I heard something.

It was probably just the

sounds of the house settling.

We're not used to them yet.

I swear it sounded like

someone moving around out there.

I looked everywhere.

There was nothing there.

Come here.

Boo!

Ah!

A**hole.

Ooh, what's the matter?

Haunted house got you

a little spooked?

No, but you sneaking up on me

and yelling "boo"

in my ear does.

Hey, where's Stella?

She break up with you already?

She's at work.

What are these?

Oh, those are from, uh, after

the crime scene was cleaned up.

No sh*t?

No, why do you have

these exactly?

I'm putting together the house

to look like it did

when they lived here.

That's a little sick, dude.

It's supposed to make

ghosts more active.

You really believe

in this stuff don't you?

Yeah, I do.

So, did you actually find out

what happened here?

Yeah, I did.

And it was definitely the father

who killed the family.

There wasn't a break-in

or anything like that.

Those were all just rumors.

The details are a little bit

hazy but, the gist of it is,

he shot his wife

in their bedroom,

and then he shot the kids

in their rooms.

He covered each of the bodies

with a sheet,

and then he shot himself.

And they found his body

in the living room

sitting up in a dining room

chair, brains blown out.

Kinda weird.

Ah, I got a bunch of boxes

and stuff outside.

Can you help me move those

into the garage?

Yeah.

[ metal banging ]

Hey, be careful with that,

that's my radio.

You still have not

finished this thing yet?

Oh, my god.

All right, I'm putting it here.

Collecting dolls now?

Yeah, Sam.

I'm collecting dolls now.

It's Stella's.

So, how is it?

Living with Stella?

Yeah...

It's... it's great.

I mean it's only been a day,

but, she's still here.

That's a good thing.

What about you?

You got a fling of the month?

Who is it this time?

Uh, Summer?

August?

Moon?

Chelsea, yeah, her name

was Chelsea.

And?

She was...immature.

Too immature for you?

Yeah, she didn't even

know how to cook.

I did all the cooking.

Treated her like a queen.

And what did this queen eat?

Macaroni and cheese? Hot dogs?

A little grilled cheese

on special occasions?

And hamburgers...

Frickin bomb.

You know what you need?

You need to find a girl who's

exactly like your mom.

Somebody who'll take care

of you, and will cook you

three meals a day.

Yeah...

Which shouldn't be that

difficult, seeing as your mom
