And instead of

taking the students home...

he drove the bus

to an abandoned rock quarry.

This rock quarry.

The kids didn't know that over the years,

their parents had become exhausted...

embarrassed.

And they were willing to do anything

to ease their burden.

So one day, the parents approached

the bus driver and made him an offer.

Shh.

With the money they collected together,

they asked him to do the unthinkable.

It almost worked perfectly.

BOY:
Wrong way.

Wrong way.

Home. Home.

I wanna go home.

I wanna go home.

Home.

[ENGINE REVS]

Home. Home.

Home! Go home!

Home.

The driver was never heard from again.

[GASPING]

As for the bus, some say

it sank so deep that it couldn't be found.

Others say the town

just didn't want it to be found.

For all we know, it's still down there...

and so are those kids.

You are so full of sh*t.

Really?

Then I guess

you won't mind being first.

First what?

8 victims, 8 jack-o'-lanterns...

each one representing a lost soul.

So we're going to leave them

by the side of the lake...

as an offering to those who died.

Oh.

Is that one of yours?

Yes.

It's very pretty.

Thank you.

It can only hold 3 safely.

I'll send the keys back up.

You guys bring the rest.

Uh.... Okay.

EMMA:
I can't do this.

If you put me in a box...

[PHONE RINGING]

it makes me feel like

you're not proud of me.

If you're not proud of me....

-Hello?

-Who's your favorite big sister?

You there?

Yeah. Hi.

So there's a guy here

who really wants to meet you.

Is he young? Cute?

[G TOM MAC'S CRY LITTLE SISTER

PLAYS OVER SPEAKERS]

Uh.... Yeah.

Yeah, no, you could say that.

He's really, really nice.

So he's hideous.

Just get your ass over here.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Nice.

Great.

Not now, Andrew.

-Josh.

-Whatever.

[HOWLING]

Werewolves.

Very funny.

SARA:
That bus is around here somewhere.

I think it's over here.

SCHRADER:
Over where? I can't see sh*t

in this fog. Think I found a dead retard.

SARA:
That's me, a**hole.

SCHRADER:
Like I said.

MACY:

Both of you shut up and keep looking.

SCHRADER:

There's something moving by that rock.

MACY:
I can't see.

SARA:
Jesus, what is that?

[SARA SCREAMS]

Help me!

MACY:
Sara! Where's Sara?

SARA:
Run!

SCHRADER:
There's nowhere to go.

CHIP:
Up! I wanna go back up!

[CHIP WHIMPERING]

Macy? Schrader? Sara?

Aren't you coming? Okay, stay here.

Don't let the candles go out

and they'll protect you, okay?

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

[THUDS]

SCHRADER:
Oh, sh*t.

SARA:
Is she dead?

Hey.

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

SCHRADER:
Rhonda.

Rhonda.

It was all going so well.

-You're all dead!

-Rhonda, calm down.

It was all just a trick.

Look, none of this is real.
