Wanted to visit|with my old pal J-Bird.

Don't call me that.

That's quite a brood|you got there.

A regular Rainbow Coalition.

What the hell do you want,|Lupovich?

You sold the building.

What building?

Don't sh*t a shitter.|Our building!

You were supposed to sit on it,|not sell it.

I didn't sell it.

Somebody bought it,|so somebody sold it.

Not my problem.

That's a bozo no-no, J-Bird.

Even if they find anything,|it's been 20 years.

They could never|trace it back to us.

You better hope not,|'cause it's like they say...

...four can keep a secret|if three are dead.

Daddy?

Hey, Tia.|I'm just talking to a friend.

I'll be right in.

Nice rack.

How old is she?|Does she... You know?

That's my daughter, Lupovich.

Get the f*** off my property.

Your daughter.|Nice to see you.

You fat bastard.|Son of a b*tch.

Got it. And twist.

I don't know what we're gonna|do with this place, boy.

It's all good.|It's ugly, but it's home.

You know that's bad luck, right?

That place is bad luck.

Why's that?

I don't know.|It goes way back.

Or so my mother says.

What else does your mama say?

You know, nothin' much.

If I told you,|you'd think she was crazy.

And one thing|my mother is not is crazy.

OK. So?

All right.

I can't believe|I'm telling you this.

My mother says|that every house is two houses.

Every street, two streets.

Two's good.

There's a whole city,|a whole world...

...kind of beside, on top...

...just below...

...the city of the dead.

There's this invisible wall...

...a fabric that keeps|things separate.

Lucky thing.

Sure is, but when|something bad happens...

...something really bad...

...the wall breaks, tears.

And the dead get out?

Or the living fall in.|Who knows?

And you believe it?

If I did, do you think...

I'd come within|50 yards of your door?

Get out!

Y'all better stop|messin' around!

Go, boy!

What the f***!

Freak!

What's the matter, bro?

Are you spooked?

Maybe just a little,|all right?

I know. There is kind of|a strange vibe up in here.

Make yourself comfortable|around the circle.

We will begin in just a moment.

You gonna join us?

Can't. Gotta finish|this for schooI.

God gave you the vision.

I hate to see you waste it|on painting pretty pictures.

You got your vision|and I got mine...

...and I won't waste mine|like you did.

Sorry, Mama. Maybe next time?

I don't want you to go|to that house anymore...

...and I want you to stay away|from those kids and that dog.

That dog is a servant of evil.

Ever been inside?

Yeah, back in the day.

Before it became what it is.

And what's that?

It's a bad place...

...and a door to worse.

I gots to T.C.B. Tonight...

...so I should be through|about 7:00.

Adam Simon

Adam Simon (born February 6, 1962) is an American director, producer, and screenwriter. His directing credits include Brain Dead (1990), Body Chemistry II: The Voice of a Stranger (1992), and Carnosaur (1993). Simon, along with producer Brannon Braga, co-created the television series Salem. As a screenwriter, Simon is known for Bones (2001), and The Haunting in Connecticut (2009). He plays a humorous version of himself, pitching a project and getting barred from the studio lot in the famous opening-shot of Robert Altman's The Player (1992). He previously appeared, thinly veiled, as a fictional character in Christopher Guest's film The Big Picture (1989) and would reappear in Kim Newman's novel Johnny Alucard (2013), where he again pitches a project and becomes the only person in Hollywood standing up to a particularly sinister studio executive.Kim Newman has noted that Adam Simon has "become one of the most oft-cited figures in contemporary Hollywood satire, and those in the know have begun to play the game of Simon-spotting. [...] Remarkable look- and act-alikes for Adam Simon have appeared in a couple of sinister Hollywood satires: Adam Rafkin (Jarrad Paul) on the cancelled-too-soon TV series Action, who ruins his emotional and physical health on successive drafts of Beverly Hills Gun Club for sleazy überproducer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr); and Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, who finds his entire life - and film project - jeopardised when he considers going against the wishes of backers who represent either organised crime or Hell." more…
