[LAUGHS]

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING

ON STEREO]

Aren't you guys adorable?

Thanks, Mrs. Henderson.

That's a great costume.

I know. Isn't it just "purr-fect"?

You want a drink or something?

It'll be our little secret.

-Sure.

-No, thanks. But....

All right, fine. I'll see what I got for you.

Actually, Mrs. Henderson,

we were wondering if you might--

[LAUGHING AND GROANING]

-If you might...

-Holy sh*t.

have a jack-o'-lantern we could borrow.

Here you go.

Now, be safe...

and watch out for monsters.

I don't even know what that was.

Coach Taylor was in a hot-dog costume

butt-f***ing a pig.

-I think. And then--

-Chip. Let's just not.

SCHRADER:
Trick or treat.

-What'd you find?

That's it?

Sorry, but some a**hole went

down the street smashing all of them.

But we have 3. Isn't this enough?

Almost.

SCHRADER:

Macy, why didn't we just start here?

MACY:

I didn't know she'd do this.

[DOOR OPENS]

This is weird.

Is that Rhonda the retard?

MACY:

She's not a retard, she's an idiot savant.

SARA:

Here she comes.

MACY:

You're on, Schrader.

Did you carve all these yourself?

Yeah. Made my costume too.

Like it?

I do.

I'm Schrader.

Rhonda.

[DRUMS POUNDING]

[CHATTERING]

[MOANING]

ALLIE:

Let's get another drink.

[ALLIE SCREAMING]

EMMA:

Henry.

-I need help.

-She's just drunk, baby. Come on.

[ALLIE SCREAMS]

You must really like Halloween.

-You mean Samhain?

-What?

Samhain, also known as All Hallows' Eve,

also known as Halloween.

Pre-dating Christianity,

the Celtic holiday...

was celebrated on the one

night between autumn and winter...

when the barrier between living

and dead was thinnest...

and often involved rituals

that included human sacrifice.

I like your eye patch.

Oh.

Great, a rock quarry.

Nice way to celebrate Halloween, Macy.

SARA:
Why are we here?

-To pay our respects to the dead.

What happened? Did somebody die here?

Wait.

Is this where--?

-It is, isn't it? This is where that school--

-Shut up, Sara.

The Halloween School Bus Massacre.

-Just don't call it that.

-What's she talking about?

It's this awesome town legend.

There was this bus--

Jesus, will you shut up

and let me tell the damn story?

You said a bad word.

[SIGHS]

It happened 30 years ago...

on a late Halloween afternoon.

A school bus was on its usual route.

But this wasn't your typical school bus...

and they weren't your typical kids.

There were 8 of them...

and they were different.

Troubled.

Disturbed.

Every day, parents put their dirty secrets

on this bus...

to be driven to a school

miles outside of town.

BOY:
3260.

But that day...

the driver took a different route.

Wrong way.

Wrong way.

Wrong way.
