just listen to what you're saying.

I don't care how it sounds. I wanna get out of this place right

now.

Ok, maybe you could stay somewhere in town tonight.

I know it's not gonna start. It's not gonna let us leave.

Why are you stopping?

Wait here a minute.

Do you see something? Where're you going? Ashley? Ashley?

It's not going to let us go! It's not going to let us go!

I told you! I told you! It's not going to let us go! Why won't

you listen to me?

(On tape) I know now that my wife has become host to a Candarian

demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the

spirits of the book is through the act of bodily dismemberment. I

believe now to avoid this horror, but for myself, I have seen the

dark shadows moving in the woods and I have no doubt that whatever I

have resurrected through this book is sure to come calling... for me.

Ok, ah, let me think. Ummm... It's a seven.

Oh! What suit?

Ahh... diamonds. N-n-no wait! Ummm, hearts!

Oh My! It's seven of hearts! You're right!

Hey Ash! I guessed the card right!

Yeah... truly amazing Linda.

I don't know. I don't know, but I think it's really some sort of

extra sense or something, you know, like ESP.

Ok, try this one.

Ok... It's a seven.

I don't believe it!

... of spades. Queen of Spades. Four of Hearts. Eight of Spades.

Two of Spades. Jack of Diamonds. Jack of Clubs!

Why have you disturbed our sleep? Awakened us from our ancient

slumber? You will die! Nightmare is before you. One by one we will

take you.

What happened to her?

Did you see her eyes? Oh Ash, I'm scared. What's wrong with her?

Cheryl! Stop it!

Join us!

Ash. I think we ought to get out of here.

Yeah.

We still have a few more hours before morning.

I don't think I can wait that long.

You have to. We all have to! And then in the morning, we'll get in

the car, and we'll take the bridge. And-

Why does she keep making those horrible noises?

I don't know!

Her eyes! Her eyes... For God's Sake! What happened to her eyes?

Everything's going to be all right.

Scotty. I-I think there's something's out there.

Go to bed, and get some sleep. Ok?

Shelly?

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I remained on

those hot coals, burning my pretty flesh. You have pretty skin.

Give it to us.

Join us. Join us...

Hit her! Hit it!

Scott.

Yeah?

What are- What are we going to do?

We're going to bury her.

We can't bury Shelly. She's a- she's a friend of ours.

Yeah, she's dead. Shelly's dead. We gotta bury her now.

Linda's still sleeping. I think once her leg-

I'm getting out of here.

Scott, we can't take Linda anywhere with her leg like that. We don't

even know if there is anyway back besides the bridge.
