Original subtitles

I want to go back to the car, Chad.

Oh, wait, we're almost there.

I said I want to go back to the car now, Chad.

Well, Marcy, I thought you were cool with all this.

You didn't say this is where we were going.

I don't actually believe all those stories to you.

I'm saying I don't want to be here.

Come on, when they get here, we'll scare the hell out of them.

They're telling me you don't want to see Tyler

and Nicki craft themselves when they see this.

Cute.

Come on.

It's not like they don't deserve a little payback, right?

Well, what would we do for an hour?

I don't know.

Want to do something?

What?

Come on.

My brother and his friends used to party up here all the time.

Well, Eddie, the trampers wait.

If you think we're going for a roll in the hay, I think you thought right.

Marcy.

Chad!

It's okay.

It's okay.

Just stay still, okay?

Marcy.

I know.

I don't want to know.

There's nothing there.

It never sleeps.

It never dies.

It can't be stopped.

Here's a cry.

Ladies and gentlemen, the annual scarecrow

festival doesn't kick off this weekend on main.

It should have dropped down there and partaken the festivities.

A lot of weather calling for 78 degrees, but a

chance of scattered showers coming this evening.

And...

That looks great, Cal.

Thanks.

Tyler, it'd be nice if you'd give those guys a hand.

And you can pick up that can while you're at it.

Yeah, it would be if I was a nice guy like you, Mr. H.

You are, babe.

And smell good too.

Poor teacher.

You sound the bus sneaky.

Hey, Tyler.

Hey, Cal.

Hey.

Tyler.

Mr. H, don't sweat it.

I got this.

That was too easy.

Calvin, if you want to keep breathing, keep your mouth shut, you got it?

Yeah, I would never say anything, Tyler.

You must be keeping it that way.

Mr. Harris, do you know what time we'll be back?

I teach piano at 3 on Saturdays.

This isn't all-day detention, Maria, so no promises.

But don't worry, we go easy on first-timers, so...

Oh, this is Maria's first time.

Hear that, Calvin?

It's Maria's first time.

Maybe you'll finally get lucky.

She got there, Cal.

I'm sorry, Maria.

Looks like Calvin here has got eyes for somebody else.

Okay, okay.

That's enough of that, you two.

I thought you wouldn't have learned your lesson by now.

Looks like the new girl got all dressed up for you, Calvin.

Uh, Nicky, I'm sorry, but no phones today.

That goes for everyone, so pass them up.

Come on.

Devon, the phone.

All right.

Let's get this show on the road.

Nicky, Tyler.

Come on.

You guys are disgusting.

That's enough, you two!

Where the hell are we?

All right, let's go, guys.

It never sleeps.

It never dies.

It can't be stopped.

Hear their cries.

The scarecrow lives to kill us all.

Keep it buried in the phone.

That isn't funny, all right?

It is funny.

What the hell are we talking about?

Legend has it this place is haunted.

I'd say over 30 people were killed in there.

The body's eaten by the scarecrow.

Well, we're not staying here, right?

Beth, they're just trying to scare you.

None of this actually happened.

Can I ask why we're here, then?

Yeah, is this supposed to be, like, scared straight or something?

Not quite.

This is the site of the original scarecrow festival.

But the farm is being sold, so we're going to dismantle what's left of the scarecrow

and reassemble it in town, where the festival is happening this year.

Seriously?

Yeah, seriously.

Look, if you ask me, you guys are getting off easy.

Doctoring those photos of Chad and Marcy, and then hacking into the school website

and posting them and linking them to your Facebook accounts was probably funny.

But it was also illegal.

You're lucky the parents didn't press charges.

Hi.

So, did you find it okay?

Yeah.

Wow, you... you look... What?

Broke?

No, I was going to say great.

You look great.

Thanks.

Look at you.

You're, like, Mr. Big Time Teacher now.

I'm trying to, anyway.

Are you, uh, going to introduce us to your girlfriend mistake?

Very funny, Nicky.

Oh, nice place.

Come on, everybody.

This is, uh, Chrissy Miller, her family-owned farm.

So... what'd they say about this place?

None of that happened, right?

No, this farm has been in my family for over 150 years.

No, I don't even know how the legend got started, but no, none of that happened here.

I mean, it looks creepy as hell, but...

Sitting empty for 20 years will do that to a place.

Anybody seen Tyler?

I saw him heading for the barn.

Hey, Tyler!

Come on, stick with the program.

Tyler!

It's fine.

How the hell did the screaming got there, Muriel?

I didn't think you had it in you.

Give me that.

Well, come on, it wasn't like you had planned it.

I think I found it by the barn.

You found it over there?

Yeah, right.

Yeah, I did.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It's no big deal.

No big deal.

We're all fine.

All right, all right.

Everybody get going.

We'll meet over by the scarecrow and don't wander off.

You don't want to get lost in there.

Come on, let's go.

So you back for good, or... Oh, is that what everyone's saying?

I couldn't make it in the big city, so I had to run home desperate for money.

No, no, none at all.

Just didn't expect to see you back, is all.

Was that a good thing, or a bad thing?

I don't follow.

Well, I'm back to sell the farm, but I... I'm also back wondering if...

maybe there's still you and me?

Oh, uh... What?

You know, when you left, it was all about you.

Your future and your dreams.

You didn't think about what it would do to me.

It took me two years to get over that.

I don't know if I can do that again.

Did you call him?

What are you doing?

Hedging your bets?

Oh, come on.

That's uncalled for.

Well, then what's he doing here?

He's here to help move the scarecrow, okay?

And it's about time you guys made up.

You two were inseparable before you met me.

Hey, look, he's the one who had the problem with us dating after you two broke up.

Yeah, well, it didn't exactly help, but you rub it in his face all the time.

We're adults now, right?

Teacher?

Hey, Eddie.

You should have told me he was gonna be here.

Well, I knew if I did, you wouldn't come.

Yeah, damn straight.

That's something that's really easy to fix.

Well, wouldn't it be?

Please, stop.

Thank you guys.

Can't you just put this behind you, work this out?

Come on.

Is he apologizing?

Apologize?

I don't have anything to apologize for.

That's what I thought.

Stop it.

That stupid thing overheats.

Well, I guess it looks like you're stuck here.

Yeah, it does at that.

What the hell's going on here?

Mr. H, we didn't put him up here.

We got turned around on the corn for a few minutes when we got back here.

It was like this.

Did Tyler and Nicky do this?

Yeah, Mr. H, but it's nothing I can't handle.

Tyler!

Nicky!

Looks like your future education's looking real bright right about now, Aaron.

Yeah, maybe if I worked harder, I could be a truck driver like you.

Tyler!

Tyler!

Tyler, this isn't funny!

You can stay with Maria.

Help,

where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

Help!

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

Okay, I got her!

What happened?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Put that!

You okay?

You okay?

Are you okay?

What the hell was that?

What?

What?

I'm starting to think I'll have the right idea.

Hurry up!

Come on!

It's okay.

It's just a joke.

Aah!

It's Nicky!

I gotta get that window covered.

Any luck with my cell phone?

No signal, no nothing.

It's this valley where there's no cell, there's

no radio, nothing gets in or out of here.

Maybe if you were higher, why don't you try upstairs?

I think I'm fine right here.

Grabbed anything I thought we could use.

Does anyone hear that?

Just because it stopped don't mean it's gone.

Eddie's right.

We should stay here until we're sure.

Do we even know what that is out there?

We're all thinking it, but no one wants to say it.

It's a scarecrow.

Don't let our imaginations get away with us, okay?

It's an animal.

What kind of animal could throw a person through a window?

I don't know, okay?

But it's certainly not a scarecrow.

Whatever it is, we're gonna need more than this if it gets in here.

Okay.

I'll go to the basement and see if I can find some more shells in there.

I'll go check on Maria.

Any luck?

No reception.

It's my last one.

You wanna share?

No, thank you.

I'm not hungry.

Well, I'm not a very big eater.

I'd hate to see it go to waste.

You're not a very good liar.

Well, that makes two of us.

Hey, this is all I can find.

It's not much better.

Yeah, it's better than nothing, right?

What you doing?

It's nothing.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

My parents.

They died when I was little.

Never since I've been passed around from relative to relative.

Oh.

Is that why he moved here?

I see where it's at.

I am.

I could really use a friend here, Calvin.

Someone that I can trust.

You can trust me.

Okay, your turn then.

Well, you and some of the others have seen a small part of what's out there.

So I was trying to take everyone's descriptions and I'll piece them together.

What?

What is it?

No, wait.

Do you see this?

Looks quite our back.

Do you see this?

Calvin put this together from everybody's different descriptions.

Are we just gonna stay here all night and wait

for that thing to come back and attack us?

But I don't know what it's like tonight.

It's gonna get pretty damn dark out here once the sun goes down.

I could pull the bus up to the front steps.

That's our safest bet.

The keys to the bus are gone.

I saw Nikki put them in her pocket.

She was using them to get to the glove box to get her and Tyler cell phones.

My car's blocked in.

Do you think you can get that truck of yours started?

It's a special touch, but yeah, she'll start it.

Are the keys in it?

They are?

Why?

I'll take the truck.

I'll go get help.

Everybody else stays here.

Why can't we all go?

Because we can't all fit in the cab and there's no

protection in the back if that thing comes back.

Besides, if that thing is out there, there's no

guarantee I'm even gonna make it to the truck.

I'm not risking everyone's life.

Well, what if we get the truck close to the house and then we can all go?

We're not all gonna fit.

End of discussion.

But why?

He's right.

It's too dangerous.

There's no protection in the back.

Keep them inside.

Keep them safe.

Look, look, look.

If you wanted to start, then I should be the one to go, all right?

No, they're my responsibility.

I'll get us out of here.

I'd take my chances in the truck if we could get up close to the house.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Calvin!

Calvin, no!

Calvin!

You went out the back window.

Get the pours out the store.

Calvin, Calvin, no!

Calvin, get out of there!

Come on.

Beth, we have to go back inside.

This isn't happening.

No!

Oh my God.

Is everybody okay?

What the hell is this place?

Looks like somebody was hell bent on keeping whatever was down here from getting out.

You think that thing was trapped down here?

Yeah.

Oh my God.

It's Marcy.

Maybe it doesn't know we're down here.

It doesn't know we're here.

What's that?

It doesn't know we're trapped down here.

Maria's right.

This could be our only chance.

We should be looking for a way out.

And why should we listen to you?

Excuse me?

You swore that thing didn't exist.

That nobody had ever died here.

Calvin is dead because of you.

Hold on a second.

You can't blame Kristen.

And why not?

It's her farm, her family.

The others are dead because of her.

Look, you can blame me and my family all you want,

but that thing is going to be looking for us again.

Okay, so we need to get out of here, now.

Here.

Give me a hand with this.

Grab that room.

All right.

I'll go up last.

We'll make sure everybody gets up safe.

Hey, guys.

Somebody must have seen the explosion.

We're actually getting out of here.

Hello?

Is everyone all right?

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

We have to warn him.

No.

No, you'll give us away.

You can't just let him die out there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's get some weapons first.

Are you okay?

Is anyone hurt?

Stay away!

Stay away!

Officer Morris, you have to stay away from there.

Kristen?

Aaron?

Eddie?

What the hell is going on here?

It's not what it looks like.

Well, that may be so, but we need y'all to put those weapons down.

Right behind you!

Watch out!

What the hell?

Get Maria and the others back to the police truck.

We need to get his keys.

You're not actually thinking about going back in there.

No, no.

He's right.

We're gonna need those keys if we're gonna get out of here.

We'll see you in the truck.

It's just me.

It's just me.

Get his keys.

Hurry!

Quick!

We don't have much time!

Go!

Worst case, make a run for it.

Get yourself somewhere safe, okay?

I'm almost hungry.

I promise.

Are you okay?

Devon, what are you doing?

I forgot some storage.

No, no.

Get out of here!

I'm gonna finish it off.

Devon, no!

I think he's gone.

Devon?

Sorry, Maria.

Come on.

Come on.

We gotta go.

We gotta go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Anyone near me.

Anyone at all.

We're not close enough yet.

Another couple miles.

Might as well be in the damn room.

So the legend of the Scarecrow is true.

All this time... You know, okay?

We all grew up here.

None of us knew.

No, but it wasn't your farm, okay?

It wasn't your family.

It was mine.

My family's secret killed all of those people today.

They said the whole damn town had to know about it at some point, right?

Why else the festival?

The people have been celebrating this Scarecrow for a hundred years,

and nobody thought it'd be important to remember why.

Maybe they thought it was buried and forgotten.

You know, like in the legend.

The Scarecrow lives to kill us all, keep it buried in the fall.

You guys?

Are you okay?

Are you guys okay, Aaron?

Are you okay?

I don't know.

Okay, it just smells like gas in here.

Everybody out.

Everybody out now.

Come on, let's go.

I'm right behind you.

Are you okay?

Hello?

Hello?

We're still thinking, buddy.

You're only such an optimist.

You always bug the hell out of me.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Hello?

See?

Let me go again.

Is Eddie all right?

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's okay.

Everybody hear me?

Hello?

Just keep going to make sure that thing doesn't come back.

Come back?

Everything is dead.

Hello?

Well, I might be an optimist, but you killed that thing.

Nice work.

Yeah, I don't think that's all I care about.

Is he okay?

Yeah.

Everything's getting here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I need a shirt or something.

Quickly!

Put your hand on it.

Put pressure on it right now.

Come on!

Okay, okay, okay.

Quickly!

Put pressure on it.

Come on, man.

Let me see what you did.

What?

Dude, I might need that other shirt.

What did you talk about?

You just keep pressing it.

You got to get back.

Can you move?

Eric!

Get out of here now!

He's coming!

This way!

Don't you know?

What do you think happened?

Nothing good.

Where are you coming or not?

I thought we would have caught up to them by now.

They got away.

It's all that matters.

Do you think it's finally dead?

I don't know.

According to the legend, it never dies, right?

Unless you bury it.

Yeah, well, that shouldn't be too hard.

Come on, we should go.

It's a long way back to town.

Where's Eddie?

Come on.

There's a farm through here.

There's a light on.

Come on, Beth is waiting.

Everyone stay close.

I don't want to see anybody in here.

Where is he?

He's nothing.

I guess it's nothing.

Come on, we gotta get moving.

This way.

The house is this way.

She was supposed to be watching.

I don't think counting on Beth for anything is a good idea right now.

It looks quiet.

Come on.

Come on.

Maybe.

Come on, now.

Let's go.

Come here now.

Hello?

Is anybody home?

I just need to use your phone.

There's been an accident.

Hello?

I thought you were watching out for me.

I'm sorry, okay?

I thought I saw someone inside.

Did you?

Did you really?

Were you just thinking of yourself as usual?

Where?

There's someone in there.

Okay, we're gonna stick together from now on, okay?

Yeah, I got it.

This is Frank Murphy's place, right?

Yeah.

Must be a shut-in.

Yeah, it's definitely not like him to leave his farm.

So where is he?

Maybe it's already here.

Maybe the guy's already dead.

Maybe we should just leave.

Go to the next farm.

No.

No, we're not leaving without finding your phone.

No one moves in Muscoville.

I'll shoot you where you stand.

Oh, just relax.

Just relax.

It's like you picked the wrong farm to rob.

We're not trying to rob you.

We're not... Your trespass on my property.

Your break into my house sure as hell looks like a robbery to me.

We're in trouble, okay?

We came here for help, that's all.

Yes, please, Mr. Murphy.

We need you to call the police for us.

We know each other.

I'm Kristen Miller.

My family has a farm.

It's just us, just down the road.

Miller.

Just exactly what kind of trouble you bunch in.

Something is after us.

Something... not human.

Please.

He's already killed six of us.

It's true.

He's been buried there all these years.

You mean the scarecrow?

If you believe in stories, your great-grandfather buried it on his farm

almost a hundred years ago, after it killed most of his family.

Where did it come from?

No one knows.

But I can tell you this.

They tried everything to kill it.

But it wouldn't die.

It just kept coming.

Coming for my family?

To anyone that got in the way.

Why the Millers?

I don't know why.

Just that the killing didn't stop until the thing was buried.

It held its festival every year, ever since.

So no one would ever forget.

Not a good that did.

It's really nice going down memory lane right now

with everybody, but are we calling the police or not?

This thing's really on a loose call and the police isn't going to do you any good.

But you be my guest.

You all should have just kept running.

You never should have stopped here.

It's dead.

Now you see what you've done?

You see what you've done here?

Where are you going?

Staying close to you certainly isn't going to keep me alive.

Hey!

Hey!

Look, we've got to get out of here right now.

Go where?

Where are we going to go that this thing isn't going to find us?

What the hell does this thing even want?

It wants you.

Can it, Beth.

Like the old man said.

It goes after the Millers, right?

It kills anyone in its way.

Stop it!

You don't see it?

It was seconds away from killing Calvin when it heard her voice.

It completely left him alone and went after Kristen instead.

And then outside the barn.

It was going after the coffin when it heard her.

It came right after Kristen.

That's enough.

And then on the road, out by the truck, out of all of us, who did it come after?

Who Kristen?

Who did it come after?

Me!

Everyone just stop it, please.

No, she's right.

She's right.

I say we give her to it.

What?

Why not save ourselves?

Why don't we just feed you two?

Just relax.

Just relax.

Fine.

All of you can stay here and die with her.

Beth.

Beth!

All right.

The old man has to have a car or something, right?

What are you doing?

You don't want to be near me.

What?

You should go.

No, no, no.

No, I'm serious.

You should go.

You shouldn't be around me.

Stay together, okay?

That's not even up for discussion.

Kristen, please.

We're gonna stay together.

Come on.

It's got wheels.

Okay.

I can't get any gear.

It's like it's locked or something.

Leave her.

She wouldn't do it for any of us.

We're not her and we're you.

Mr. H!

She's so cute.

She's gone to us.

Go help Beth.

Here.

Help me, you guys.

Give me a hand.

Here we are.

What the hell are you doing?

Getting out of here alive.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Call out for it.

Let's just talk to Susan.

I can't call out for it.

Kristen, don't.

Just get Maria out of here.

No.

I'm over here, you bastard.

Come and get me.

Kristen, this is suicide.

Just go away.

Please just go.

Beth, look at you.

Let her go.

You can also get out of this alive.

The only way we're getting out of here alive is if Kristen dies.

And I am the only one with enough guts to make sure Beth dies.

Beth, it's here.

You need to stop this.

I'm not leaving you.

Nothing is all that bad.

It needs to be buried.

Yeah, we'll look to see about that.

This is not your fault.

Beth did this to herself.

Come on, we got to get out of here.

Remember how fast I came back when we waited with the truck?

Okay, there was a motorcycle in the barn.

We should see if it's still running.

Hey, just stay here and watch for any movement.

You understand?

Come on, let's make this quick.

We'll be right back.

All right, it's not working for me.

Let's just go.

One, two, three.

You'll be okay.

I'm not moving quick enough.

I've got to buy you guys some time.

What are you talking about?

We're going to split up.

No, no way in hell.

We have to split up.

We have to.

No.

I can run faster than you right now, and it's me at once anyway.

Absolutely not.

I'll double back and meet you at the river.

Who split up and follows me, I lose it, and then I meet you guys at the river.

What if you don't lose it?

Just take care of him, are you okay?

No, Kristen.

We'll meet you at the river!

Kristen!

I buried there all these years.

I believe the stories.

Your great-grandfather buried it on his farm almost a hundred years ago.

I can tell you this.

I killed anyone that got in the way.

The killing didn't stop until a thing was buried.

I held this festival every year ever since.

So that no one would ever forget what a good dad did.

Oh, you're losing a lot of blood.

Okay.

Stay down here.

Stay down here, right here.

Right here.

She needs her.

Oh, man.

Okay.

This is going to hurt a little bit, alright?

She's got to stop the bleeding, okay?

Kristen's going to be okay, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course she is.

You know, you've proven yourself to be a tough cookie, too.

People underestimate me.

Yeah.

I bet they do.

This is going to hurt a little bit, okay?

You ready?

One, two...

She's going to stop the bleeding.

Sorry.

You're going to be okay.

Are you okay to keep going?

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

Hang on, Maria.

Maria.

Look at me, okay?

You're going to hang on, okay?

We're almost there.

You've got to be strong.

Sorry, guys.

You're better here than me.

Right here.

Stay calm and rest, right here.

Come here.

Kristen?

Is that you?

Kristen, are you there?

Oh, thank God.

Is she... Not yet.

She will be soon if we don't get her out of here.

Look, I'll get her on my back, okay?

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Come on, Maria.

Let's go.

Come on.

One, two, three.

It's okay.

All right.

All right.

Here we go, all right?

You ready?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

You're here!

You're here!

You're here!

You're here!

Come on.

Can you run?

I think so.

She's dead.

We have to just go.

You have to just run, okay?

All right.

Just get out of here.

I'm never going to be able to swim across.

You've got to go without me.

No.

No way in hell.

Kristen?

No, I'm not going.

What about the bridge?

It's too far.

There's the boat graveyard.

There's got to be something there we can take across.

Okay.

Okay, let's do that.

All right, let's go.

Here, let me help you.

How are you holding up?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron, please say something.

Aaron, please say something.

You're out there.

You scared me.

I had to catch my breath for a second.

You cannot leave me.

Okay.

I promise.

It won't happen again.

Okay, I'm just leaving on you this way.

What about those light boats?

Do they do the trick?

Yeah.

Almost home.

Okay, okay.

Thank God there's a guard here.

Yeah.

Oh my God, it's here, Aaron.

It's here.

It's here.

It's here.

What are we going to do?

It's here.

Let me try the radio.

You need to get away from here, okay?

I'm not leaving you.

You need to get on the water where it can't reach you.

I'll meet you at the light boats.

Go before it's too late.

I'll be right there.

Kristen!

What is it?

What?

It's in here.

It's in here with you.

We've got to get out of here.

What?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Are you here?

Aaron?

Please say something.

Aaron?

Please give me a sign.

Eddie?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Oh, thank God you made it.

I can't believe it.

You made it.

It's okay.

I haven't made it to the light boats, but I'm going to get us out of here, I promise.

What are you doing?

Excuse me.

Run!

That's right, folks.

It's October 26th, the official start of this year's Scarecrow Festival.

So, pack up the kids and come on down to Main Street for all the food, fun,

and festivities you can handle.

It's sure to be a real beast.
