[THEME - STRANGE EVENTS]

So Jack, you said your parents left just before I got here?

They do that a lot, huh?

Just leave you here alone in this big old house by yourself?

I'm not alone.

You're just like all the other sitters.

No one ever believes me.

Hey, hey, take it easy.

I believe you.

It's just a little unusual, is all.

It's cool.

It's just, I don't normally take jobs by text message.

I like to talk to the parents first.

That way I know what rules to break.

I don't know about you, but I like to eat

and watch TV at the same time.

But-- but we're not supposed to.

Mom always says that when-

Well, she isn't here, is she?

So it will be our little secret.

Plus, there's a Pirates Versus Ninjas movie on.

Yay!

You see this, you pirate bitches?

Somebody save me!

Don't you see it will never end?

Pirate killing ninja, ninja killing pirate.

It will never stop.

No.

No, it won't unless I kill every last one of them.

[TV CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND]

[THUMP]

What was that?

Jack?

Hey, Jack.

Do you guys have a cat, or dog, or something that you

forgot to tell me about?

Hmm.

[THUMP]

And what was that?

I don't know.

Probably the monsters.

The monsters?

The monsters in my room.

You have monsters in your room?

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

Monsters.

[MYSTERIOUS NOISES]

Just one more story, please.

Jack, you've had just one more story about seven

or eight times already.

It's time for bed, little buddy.

Aw, my other sitters always read me more stories.

Hey, speaking of-- how many other sitters have you had?

You make it sound like no one sticks around very long.

Come on, Sarah.

Just one more story.

This one's my favorite.

Look, you don't want to go to bed.

I get that.

Is it the dark you're scared of?

I can leave the light on?

No!

No.

Don't let the light in.

OK?

Promise?

OK, OK.

Take it easy.

But think of it this way, if the light's on,

the monster will be too scared to come out.

Right?

They always come out.

Always.

[THUMP]

That little monkey.

Jack?

Jack?

Don't make me come up- there.

That's weird.

[FOOTSTEPS AND LAUGHTER]

Jack, I thought I told you to--

It wasn't me.

It was the monsters.

And what monsters would that be?

But they-- they were--

Jack, there are no such things as monsters.

And there will be no more playing.

Got it?

It's bedtime, buddy.

Now, sweet dreams.

No one ever believes me.

[GLASS BREAKING]

That is it, mister.

You are going to be in so much trouble.

They're real!

The monsters!

I told you.

Jack, I've got to get you out of there.

They're not going to get me.

They're trying to get away from me.

I like them.

They're mine.

I don't ever let them leave.

Jack

It's not them.

It's me.

I'm the monster.

The monster [INAUDIBLE].

No!

It can't be.
