It's Halloween.

You know what that means.

Old Sawtooth Jack is gonna rise from the cornfields

and try to make its way to the church before midnight.

It's gotta be stopped.

Kill or be killed.

'Cause see, out here,

where the wind blows fierce

and the dust rolls in...

you gotta give something to get something back.

It's what has to be done.

What's always been done.

But you already know about this.

After all, you grew up here.

You know the story as well as I do.

Over there. Okay. Look, look, look.

Come on. Come on.

I think I saw something.

There!

Let's go!

Over there! It's Jim! It's Jim!

Come on, Jim!

Get him! Get him! Get him!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Yeah!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Whoo!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

We, the Harvester's Guild,

present to you, the Shepard family,

a fresh start.

A brand new beginning

in a new model home.

Thanks to your brave service,

we can now move beyond the darkness of this...

unfortunate night.

And move optimistically

into another long

and fruitful year

of peace,

prosperity,

and prize crops.

With you, Jim,

as our emissary to the larger world,

riding high

in a brand new,

shiny...

Corvette.

Well, let the midnight dance begin!

There ain't no stop signs on the black road!

Oh, fuck, dude!

Damn these kids!

The reaper

that grows in the field.

The trick

with a heart made of treats.

The butchering nightmare with the saw teeth...

And he's gonna get you.

That's what they always told you.

He's gonna get you...

So, you know you've been got.

Laugh it up.

No, get it all out now 'cause,

this is not a fucking game!

One of your classmates

will certainly die.

That thing grows all year long in our fields,

only to rise up every Halloween night

with a single, solitary purpose.

To destroy our way of life.

Hey, we're gonna win this thing.

Get the slide.

You've all heard the stories

about that one time we failed at our duties.

And that black duster rolled in and destroyed

our crops, our lives.

It must die,

so we can live.

Your sacred duty,

is to take down Sawtooth Jack

before that church bell rings at midnight.

And to get you fat little nancies ready,

we make you hungry for it.

Three days.

No food, no mommy, no nothing.

Locked up alone in your bedrooms

to sit and think long and hard about what you have to do.

And on the night of the Run,

when one of you fulfills your duty,

you all will fill your bellies full.

Now the fun stuff.

Thank you, Officer Ricks.

So...

Who wants to be the coolest kid

with the hottest car in town?

Chevrolet Corvette, 1964.

Next year's model.

Winner of this year's Run

gets the keys to this beautiful tank of gas,

and some traveling around money.

A gift from the Harvester's Guild.

Jim Shepard, last year's winner, he, uh...

he's out in California.

Seeing the world. Now...

The fuck is he doing here?

Oh.

His big brother won,

and now he thinks he's Mr. Westside.

Gets a chickenshit waiver.

I'm doing it.

Who fucking volunteers to do the Run?

Huh? We all...

We don't have a choice.

Some of us do.

They can force us to do the Run,

but no one can force me to kill anything.

Shut up, pinko.

This whole thing is horseshit.

It's rigged.

Sawtooth, too.

You really think that's friggin' real?

Officer Friendly there?

He buses in a boogie inmate

from the Dixie Springs Correctional.

I heard this, too.

He stuffs his britches full of candy,

puts on a big fat pumpkin,

on his woolly head...

and boo.

I saw it.

It's real.

When was this?

When I was nine.

My mom, she, uh,

told me not to look outside, no matter what I heard.

But...

I looked outside my window anyway.

He was there.

Who?

Sawtooth Jack.

I saw it.

On my neighbor's porch,

in the old Partridge place,

before they moved to the Westside...

Shut the fuck up.

Beaner.

What do you know about doin' the Run?

Mexicans ain't even allowed to win.

- Fuck you. - Bullshit, says who?

Whoa, Westside Boy getting mad now.

Get bent.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You don't belong here.

Come on.

Out!

The movie already started.

No, I know.

I, uh...

You hiding?

What?

No.

I, uh, wanted a snack.

Most kids go to Waltons.

Waltons doesn't have jujubes.

We don't have jujubes.

Right.

You know...

Can I just have a small buttered popcorn?

Riley Blaike is a real asshole.

Who?

On the house.

Really?

Why not?

Betcha.

You're Jim Shepard's brother.

You're the new girl.

I know a lot about your brother, but...

I don't know anything about you.

I'm hard to pin down.

Sure.

Could I get me a pop, too?

You know what? I've never met someone

from somewhere else before.

Where you from?

Another small town.

You're not going on a trip, are you?

One day.

Are you going to the midnight dance?

I'm not invited.

Why not?

Well, after I win the Run,

I'll make sure you get invited.

You can duck into the movie, if you want. It just started.

Nah. I should really...

Dig you later.

Be careful out there.

- That girl is trouble. - Who?

The betty you're makin' eyes at.

She's fuckin' bad news.

Burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

The one we used to throw rocks at?

- Where'd you hear that? - Pat Shanley.

Says she lit up that old mine shaft, too, over on Route 12.

Hey, you better watch yourself, man.

She's got an axe to grind.

This way.

Oh.

Hear your brother's up in Santa Clara.

What's he doin' up there?

Seeing the world, I guess.

Well, they got a great varsity team.

When are you gonna play ball, aye?

Not my thing.

Well, if you have half the arm your brother has,

we'd be in good shape. Hey.

You oughta think about it.

You know,

maybe he is up in Santa whatever, I dunno,

who fucking cares?

I don't wanna go home.

- Let's breeze outta here. - Hey, so...

What?

It's curfew.

Don't be such a pantywaist, Bud. Come on,

come smoke with us.

But it's curfew.

What? See you guys tomorrow?

So that's your big idea?

Come on, man. You should do it.

You know I'm not allowed.

Fuck it. Just 'cause your brother won the Run last year?

Look, Jim's a great guy and all...

- but you're faster. - I know that.

- Tougher. - You know...

Try telling that to my folks, all right?

They worship the ground my brother walks on.

It's embarrassing.

If I was to make a bet...

Scout's honor?

I'd pick you

over your brother to win the Run any day.

You really mean that?

Really?

Shit, I say we do it together, man, You and me, let's do it.

You know, and then

I can move into your neighborhood again.

We can live next door to each other, just like before.

Like nothing's changed, you know?

We better get going.

Dear Lord, bless this food

Amen.

Amen.

Oh.

This came for you today.

This is it?

No letter, no nothing?

I saw Annie last night.

At... At Bible study.

Poor gal. She still holds a flame for Jimmy.

And who can blame her, really?

It's not her fault.

She doesn't have the same kind of opportunities that we do.

You're very lucky.

So I've heard.

- Watch your tone, boy. - What?

She talks like we weren't living on the East Side just a year ago.

When he comes home for Christmas,

Jimmy will have to set Annie straight.

I'd hate to see that girl get her heart broken, but...

Been doing a lot of thinking lately.

Thinking about what?

Doing the Run, maybe.

Why would you say that?

Jim got to do it. Why can't I?

Because your brother won.

So?

Richie, listen to me.

Everything you see, all this,

the house, the car...

We already have it.

You can't win it again, son.

It's not... It's not fair to the other boys,

- and the other families. - Donna. Donna.

What you want,

it doesn't matter.

And you know this. You know this.

So I need to hear you tell me

why it does not matter what you want?

Tell me right now because why?

- Because why? - Because it's against the...

Because it's against the rules, that's right.

Fuck the rules.

I...

I'm the bad kid?

- Sorry. - Is that it?

I'm the bad kid, and Jim's the good kid?

I'm just supposed to be thankful and lucky

for the rest of my life?

For what?

This big house and your shitty Cadillac?

I'm good at things, too, you know.

Please sit down.

I'm smart.

You're my baby boy.

Richie, please.

I'm doing the Run.

You can't stop me.

Richie.

What's this? What's this?

I'll be taking this.

No. No. No.

Give it back.

You don't have the stones.

Whoo!

How are you Jim Shepard's brother?

Whoo!

"I looked up one day and...

saw it was one year later and I thought,

'Hey, Baby B must be 18 by now.'

Happy belated.

So, you're probably sore at me

for not writing a proper letter sooner,

and I'm sorry about that.

I can't have you come out right now, not just yet.

All this traveling and seeing the country can get pretty lonely.

I think about coming back home sometimes.

Maybe get hitched to good old Annie, if she'd take me back.

Get a job at the mill. Settle down for good.

Ah, but heck,

I can't come home now with everyone thinking I'm some hero or something.

I know every dumbass kid wants to be tough and prove himself, but...

if I were you,

I'd just stay put."

"Winning the Run ain't everything."

"I'll be home soon, I promise you that, okay?

Just be good for now

and watch after Mom and Dad.

They need you."

There ain't no stop signs on the black road!

Where do you think you're going?

Get out of the car, Richie.

Shit.

How long was I out?

Three days.

Whoa, whoa. Easy.

Listen. Joe Grant,

I spoke to him...

And I got a job for you

over at the Perry Mill

right after you graduate.

And then you can start working there full time.

I'm doing the Run.

Just...

You're not hearing me, son.

You're gonna listen to me.

Come here, son. No.

No, no, no. Richie.

Richie!

Richie!

Your favorite.

I just made them.

Pray with me.

Pray with me.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Let. Me. Go.

You guys have anything to eat?

My old man found my stash.

I'd cut my fuckin' nuts off for a Twinkie, man.

Whoo!

Shit!

Fuck!

Crenshaw and his rattletrap.

Hey, that ain't playing fair.

He can't drive a friggin' truck, can he?

You're not allowed to do that.

Says who, ya fuckin' square?

Says me!

- Get out! - We'll see.

Run!

Run!

Try it again.

You're giving it too much gas.

There he is.

Come on!

You made it. -Who do you think you're dealin' with?

Where'd it go?

The fuck hell you doin', huh?

You think you're tough?

Huh?

- Oh, yeah. - Y'all just pissed off

you didn't think of it yourselves, losers.

Give it a little gas, not a lot.

There we go.

Hey, back off! All of youse!

See ya at the dance, fuckos.

Hey, screw you, Crenshaw, you cheat!

Hey, get your ass out of that truck and on the street!

Whoo!

Here. These are for you.

You guys ready?

Come on...

Come on to the violent world with me.

My mom gave me a sleeping pill.

With warm milk.

And honey.

What the hell are you talking about?

I was wide awake.

I could hear the older boys outside,

hunting for it like dogs.

You okay, Bud?

I saw it.

Saw Sawtooth rise up, floating over some kid,

some older kid,

and I was waving at him,

yelling.

Trying to warn him, but...

What's the matter with you?

It was too late. He turned around and...

Shit!

Fuck!

- Shit! - Where'd it go?

Could be... Could be the whole thing's over.

Could be, right?

It ain't over.

Come on.

I'm good.

Skid marks start here.

See if there's any more footprints down in that ditch.

Shine the light up there.

Hey, don't!

Kill first. Eat later.

Remember?

I'm so fucking hungry.

You must've hit him, Mitch.

Busted him open like a pinata.

You won.

Where's the body?

Hey, hey.

What?

There!

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie!

Charlie?

Bud, no!

Charlie!

There!

Richie...

Let's go.

Bud?

Bud?

Bud, where you going?

God.

You saw it?

Did you kill it?

Then let's go kill it.

Hey, hey. Don't go that way.

You're gonna want a better weapon than that, trust me.

- Like what? - Like a fucking gun.

Do you have a gun?

Here.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You can't win this alone.

What? You want the prize money when I win it?

- Is that it? - No.

I don't give a shit about the prize money.

Then why are you doing this?

Girls aren't even allowed to do the Run.

Neither are you.

Fuck the rules.

Fuck 'em.

I got an idea.

Mommy, please. Let me in.

Mommy, please.

Mom, let me in. Please.

Do us proud. Now.

I don't wanna die, Mom.

- Do us proud. Go. - Mommy.

Mommy, please.

We need this. Okay, honey? We need this.

Hey, hey. Be a man!

- Do me proud. - Mommy.

Bud!

Bud! Bud!

Bud!

Watch out!

Bud!

Look out!

Bud!

Look out behind you!

Look out behind you, Bud!

Sawtooth is behind you!

Please! Please!

Sawtooth's behind you!

Sawtooth is behind you, Bud! Look out!

It's Bud. Let me in.

- Let me in! - There's no room.

I'm not big, come on.

- Let me in. - Twenty bucks.

I don't have 20 bucks.

That's what everyone else paid, so...

I'll pay you back tomorrow, first thing, promise.

- Just... Just... - Cash up front, man.

- That's the deal. - Please.

Look, it wouldn't be fair to everyone if...

No, no. Let me in.

Let me in! Open the door!

- Open the door! - Turn off the lights.

- Turn off the lights. - Open the door!

Turn off the lights!

Help me! Help me!

Let me in! Please, let me in!

Don't open it.

He... He's hurt. Shouldn't we...

- I'm not opening it. - Please... help me.

- We can't just let him die. - I'm not opening it!

- We have to help him. - No. Don't.

- We gotta get him outta there. - No fuckin' way.

- Please! Please! - Stop!

I wanna go home. I wanna go home.

I wanna go home.

I wanna go home. I wanna go home.

I wanna go home.

What are we doing here?

Keep an eye out.

Jesus!

Take this.

This is why we stopped here?

That's my dad.

Your dad?

Why did your dad come here?

Come on.

Whose house is that?

Officer...

Dick's.

You wanna go for a ride?

Get your pansy ass out here!

You thought I wouldn't find out, huh?

I got eyes and ears everywhere, Chief.

I know every single goddamn thing

that's going on this here...

Do not!

Fuck!

Where did you learn how to do that?

I know things.

Okay.

So...

What's the plan?

That was my plan.

Get a gun.

Jer, you there? Over.

Jerry, the burglar alarm at Jarrett's is ringing like crazy.

There's some big commotion going on over there on Main Street.

Someone said they spotted Sawtooth.

What the fuck? Get back!

Get... Hey.

Get back. Get back.

Give us a fucking sandwich.

Get back!

Is that all ya got, savages?

Back!

Oh. Oh.

Oh, fuck off.

My dad's gonna kill me.

Jesus Christ.

We better move.

A girl?

The fuck is all this?

Hey...

What are you doing, Shepard?

Let her go.

Wait...

Wait a pick-a-ninny minute here.

Are you making it with a Negro?

Let her go...

now.

Uh...

Why don't you fight me for her?

Ugh! You little bitch!

My nose. My nose.

You got a gun?

I got a gun.

That's not fair. That's a gun.

And she's a girl.

And I'm a Negro.

With a club.

That fair enough for you?

I'll be taking this.

Let's go.

Whoo!

You're looking at this year's winner of the Run.

Any of youse doubt it?

Yeah! Yeah!

What about you, copper? Think you got what it takes?

Come and get it.

Front for a rock band in Jersey?

Where'd you hear that?

It's what everyone's saying.

No. No one is saying that.

I heard he got an album coming out.

Teenagers From Mars.

Jim Shepard

is not in a rock band, okay?

He couldn't carry a tune even if he...

"HG."

What is that, like, "The Harvester's Guild," maybe?

They own the movie theater.

They own everything.

If you wanna leave town, even for a vacation,

I heard you have to ask for the Guild's permission.

That can't be true.

You're not like other girls around here,

that's for sure.

Let's try this.

What do you know about me?

What have you heard?

People say you're...

Uh...

What?

I don't know.

Pat Shanley says

you burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

Why would I do that?

I don't know.

That's stupid.

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

What else have you heard?

Pat Shanley also said

you burned down the old mine shaft, too.

Who is this Pat Shanley?

He's got a big mouth.

I mean, is that what people are saying,

that I'm some kind of pyromaniac?

It doesn't matter.

They're lying.

Okay.

Hey, look,

I didn't believe him, okay?

And it doesn't matter, either.

I mean, who cares, right?

This town?

People talk. They like to run their mouths about things they know nothing about.

I know.

Like my brother?

Everybody's got their own opinion

about where he's at, what he's doing.

Like he's some sort of... hero.

But Jim,

he was just my brother, you know?

He's just a normal kid like me. Nothing special.

I mean, he played baseball real good. Sure.

But even after some big game,

he still found time to hang out with me.

Work on cars.

We really liked to work on cars.

We were more like best friends.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

He doesn't want to be found, I guess.

I get that.

My parents are dead.

Car accident.

Last summer.

My dad, he lived here long before I was born.

He never talked about this place,

except how he never wanted to come back.

So...

After the war,

he settled somewhere else.

Met my mom, had me.

That's why I was sent here.

I live with my auntie now and...

She don't like me all that much, you know?

She thinks I'm wild.

Wild?

I burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

Oh.

He called me a nasty name.

He had it coming.

What about the old mine shaft?

That was just for fun.

Bitchin'.

Jer, are you there? Over.

Jerry, I just got a call.

Sawtooth was spotted alone,

hiding over on Oak Street

in front of the Guild's Country Club.

It's getting close to midnight,

so you might want to tip off some of the boys

to his location. Over.

Good work, Edith.

I owe you one.

You betcha.

Jesus.

The hell's going on out here?

You get your ass back out there. Now!

What the hell happened to you back there?

Stupid. I'm so fucking stupid.

Why didn't you...

All these boys...

Don't fucking move.

Out of the car now.

You know somethin', Ricks?

I don't think I care much for this Podunk town anymore.

Out!

Of the car.

This guy's stuck in one gear.

You.

Kelly Haines.

I know you.

I knew your mommy and your daddy, too.

Ooh, he had a lip on him, your dad.

He tried to get away by jumping the line, but...

I caught up with him. Hmm?

They thought they could get away, too.

See how that turned out.

Go, go!

You mother...

Fuck!

Who won the Run the year before Jimmy?

Curtis Johnson, of course.

Where is he now?

Somewhere East.

East of Eden,

was the name of the book he wrote, I think.

He's a famous writer now.

That can't be right.

And the year before that?

Bobby Rokos.

What happened to him?

He died

I need you to be honest with me.

Okay.

Don't lie.

Lie?

Did you write the letter?

What letters?

The letter from the other day, did you write that?

I'm not doing it.

I've had enough.

There's only so much

a man can take before...

Yeah, you're gonna do what needs to be done.

And that's that.

This fucking night.

You and your wife, you like living in that big house you're living in?

Hmm?

It's...

not worth it.

Casey.

You remember my brother Casey?

When Casey went missing,

my old man, he marched straight out

into that dust storm to go look for him.

For hours, me and my sister were alone in that house,

the wind rattling at the walls, the windows...

And when that black duster finally passed, days later...

I found my big brother.

He was a hundred yards from the front door, just...

lying there,

bloated...

An arm reaching out for our house.

And when my old man fell to his knees

and lifted his eldest into his arms...

Casey's body, it split open

and sand poured out of his belly.

That freak

made it to the church before midnight

one goddamn time...

and for nine long fuckin' years

this town went a little mad,

and all because of some panty waisted daddy

who didn't have the stones to do what needed to be done.

Are you that guy, Dan?

Huh?

If that thing isn't dead by midnight,

this whole goddamn town

is going straight to Hell,

and your wife and that piece of shit son of yours

are gonna find themselves...

buried in a cornfield somewhere.

He's your responsibility.

Huh?

Get it done.

We could sneak out.

While everyone is preoccupied with the Run,

we could leave. Get out. Just...

Run away.

Let's run away, Richie.

No.

Why not? Let's just go.

Get out of this fucking place now.

If he gets to the church in time, then...

There will be no winner...

To sacrifice.

I'm ending this.

Tonight.

I'm coming with you.

Jer, we got a call on a fire

over on Maple Avenue.

The old Shepard house, I think. Over.

I'm on my way. Over and out.

- Whoa, hey. - Relax.

The hell do you want?

- Sawtooth. - Huh?

I just saw him. He's... He's a couple blocks over,

in front of the Healy place.

Everything's gone nuts tonight.

- Get in the car. - What?

Get in the car!

Where are we going?

Congratulations, kid.

You're this year's big winner.

What the...

Come on. Let's go look.

Where'd everyone go?

Do you see anything?

No.

Let's check inside.

Dad?

What are you doing here?

Just doing what has to be done.

I know the truth.

Not all of it.

I'm going to save him.

Richie, I need you to listen to...

I'm going to end all of it.

Listen!

There's no winning this thing, son.

If that...

thing...

walks through the church door before midnight, I...

Say his name.

I came here to stop...

Say his name!

I...

Say his name!

Say. His. Name.

Jim.

Jim.

Your brother.

My son.

I came here to...

To stop my own son. He has to lose. Again...

Knowing what you knew...

Richie, I swear to you,

I didn't know anything at first.

When Jim won the Run,

your mother and I...

We were thrilled.

Then we were brought into the Guild

and we were told the truth.

And we were sworn to secrecy

and that was that. That was that.

I never had a say in any of this, Richie.

None of us did.

- Not me. Not your mother... - Why didn't we just leave?

Because they would have killed us!

If you're born in this town, you're cursed.

They would have murdered us.

- No one can ever leave, son. - Who?

- They'll... - Who?

Ricks.

The Harvester's Guild.

Richie, look at me. Look at me, son.

Tonight, some other boy will win the Run

and we will move on. You understand me?

We will move on.

And our family will no longer have to suffer...

But somebody has to die.

Yes.

But not you.

Someone who's not in my family.

Mom's dead.

Tell me.

What could be worse

than losing your own son?

Your wife?

All for what?

A big house?

Is that it?

Is that all you care about?

You all were willing to sacrifice your own sons

for a fucking Cadillac?

You disgust me.

Richie, Richie. No. Richie.

Richie. Richie!

Wait!

It's okay.

Jim, it's okay.

It's okay, Jim.

Come on.

It's me.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Come on.

Come on.

No!

Goddamn it.

Come on. Come on.

Get up.

Get it done.

Come on. Come on. Come on!

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Let's go. Come on. Come on.

No. No, no, no, no.

Me. Who? Me.

I've never thought I'd win the Run.

No, I can't.

I'll do it!

You don't fucking touch him.

No. No, no, no.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'll be...

Congratulations, kid.

Richie. Richie!

- Damn, Richie! - I'll be taking that.

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Thanks to your brave service,

we can now move beyond the darkness

of this unfortunate night.

And move optimistically

into another long and fruitful year

of peace,

prosperity,

and prize crops.

With you, Richie,

as our emissary to the larger world,

riding high,

in a brand-new, shiny,

Corvette.

Take it for a spin.

Take me with you.

Please.

I'll do anything you want. Richie, please.

There ain't no stop signs on the black road.

Just doing what has to be done.

What's always been done.

I've been hearing that line of bullshit from you all year long.

You got a backbone all of a sudden?

I let one son down.

I'm not about to let another one down.

Oh, boo-fucking-hoo, Dan.

Stand back.

All you had to do

was keep your kid locked up for one friggin' night.

One night!

But you couldn't even manage that, could you now?

I said stand back!

No, your piece of shit son had to go and prove himself

and win the goddamn Run.

And now I have to put the little fucker

into the ground.

Hey, you weren't followed?

Not yet.

Whoo!

Oh, Rich.

We're gonna make it.

Get down.

- Get down. Get down. - Okay.

Shit!

What are we gonna do?

Hands up where I can see 'em!

If I'm not back in 10 minutes...

leave without me.

Richie, no.

Hands up.

Where I can see 'em!

Let me see 'em!

Whoo.

Walk towards me now.

Walk!

Slowly!

Slowly.

Slowly.

Huh?

Your old man tried to save you.

Get your ass over there.

I said get it!

Go on. Move.

You know, you and me, we never really did get along, did we?

Hmm.

And yet, in spite of it all...

I do respect you, Richie.

I ain't a hard guy.

And that's why this is going to be especially hard...

You piece of shit.

It's over.

You killed my brother

and all those boys.

And for what?

I was just doing

- what had to be done. - For who?

That's what's always been done!

For who?

How does it even fucking matter anymore?

Huh? Huh?

Please.

Please. Stop! Stop! No.

No!

Go.

Get out of here, now.

Go on.

Please.

Before someone sees you.

Richie.

Please.

Fuck you, and fuck this town.

Richie.

What are you doing?

Burn it down.

Burn it all down!
