[Rachel, Lea laughing]

[Rachel] It'll be quick,
I promise.

[Lea] Yeah, it better be.

Do you think they'll crown me
as prom queen in this?

[both laugh]

No. Never mind.

They got to have something.

I wouldn't count on it.

[girls talking indistinctly]

[clatters]

Jeez.

I don't see anything.

Let's try the mall.

-Vintage is overpriced anyway.
-Okay.

You'll find one.

Come on.

Wait.

What?

It's my size.

And the lace is so pretty.

Oh, but it's way too much.

I really love it.

Maybe you should try it on.

[chuckles softly]

[door creaks]

Whoa!

You look amazing!

You think so?

Are you kidding?

It's stunning.

Hey, I'm so sorry,
I left my bag.

Love the dress.

Looks really good on you.

Thanks.

[Lea] Come on.

That was definitely a flirt.

[bell tinkles]

[chuckles]

-[door closes]
-[bell tinkles]

How much do you need?

Double what I have.

This better be
the nicest dress ever.

What about yours?

It's only prom, I don't care.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah, just pay me back
over the summer.

-Thank you, thank you.
-Oh. Uh.

Hmm, yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right.

Ugh.

[pleasant music playing]

[Lea on phone]
It's going to smell
a bit weird.

It's vintage.

I know but I didn't
notice it in the store,
did you?

I would've told you
if it smelled.

I think it's okay now.

You decide on a dress yet?

My mom pulled out the dress
that I wore

at my brother's graduation.

Yes! Done it.

[TV playing indistinctly]

Hey, hey, hey, what is that?

It's a dress.

For prom.

How much did it cost?

Nothing.

Uh, I got it from Lea.

Oh, suits you.

Try not to spill
anything on it.

I won't.

Rachel, what are you doing?

No, wait.

[soft clatter]

[clattering]

What is this doing
on the floor?

-Uh...
-[sighs]

I, I don't know.

Rachel, go back to bed.

Okay.

[groaning]

[gasps]

[whimpers]

[beeps]

[cellphone pings]

[school bell rings]

[Lea] That's messed up.

Is it too tight?

No, it fits fine.

Maybe you did sleepwalking
or something.

Does it still hurt?

Yeah, kind of.

[Jenny] Rachel.

Here, you left this.

-Thanks.
-No problem.

Are you guys
excited for tomorrow?

Ah, did you get that dress?

-Couldn't resist.
-Nice.

[girl] Jenny.

-See you later.
-See you.

Maybe you should
forget your book every time.

-Uh.
-[chuckles]

What the hell?

What?

That's my dress.

[Lea] Are you sure?

[Rachel] Yeah, definitely.

[Lea] That's so weird.

Do you know who that is?

Yeah.

She was a few grades above us.

I think she died.

[camera clicks]

Why don't you
go back to the store?

Get a refund.

And wear what to prom?

Find something else to wear.

[dings]

Hi, sorry about that.

Can I help you?

I'd like my money
back for this, please.

I'm sorry,
we don't accept returns here.

Um, if you check your receipt,
you'll see--

But there's something
really wrong with this dress.

Wrong, in what way?

I'm covered in bruises.

I'm really, really sorry
but there's nothing I can do.

Store policy.

Well, can you, at least,
tell me where it came from?

Even if I knew,
I can't give out names.

I'm sorry.

Give me a name
or I'll break
your...damn wrist.

Okay, okay, jeez!

[sales girl groans]

Well, get out
before I call the cops.

[bell tinkling]

[cellphone vibrating]

[Lea] Oh, hey, how did it go?

Not good.

Something is really wrong.

Wrong?

What do you mean?

Rachel?

Rach?

Did you find any--

-I'll text you later.

Hello?

Hello?

[man] Yes?

I'm looking for Marcus Moore.

[man] Yes, I'm here.

Mr. Moore?

[man] In here.

[lock clicks open]

[creaks]

[creaking]

[man] What a pretty dress.

Are you the mortician?

What are you doing in here?

I was speaking to--

How did you get in here?
You can't be in here.

You need to leave immediately.

Are you Mr. Moore?

Yes.

I need to know about this.

Why did you sell it?

I'm very sorry.

I see lot of dresses,

I've never seen
that one before.

Please, there's something
wrong with this.

I need your help.

I need you to step outside.

Can things like this
be haunted?

[chuckles softly]

In all my years working
with the deceased,

I can assure you,

I've never encountered
a haunting.

But why has mold been...

Has anything been
putting you under
a lot of stress recently?

I'm so sorry
I couldn't be of any help.

[door closes]

I don't think you'll be
needing this anymore.

[zipper closes]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[crickets chirping]

Like, it is
so out of character.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Are you okay?
Where have you been?

Why is she here?

I thought you wanted me
to stay over tonight.

Didn't you get my text?

I have a huge headache.

I need to go to bed.

Are you going to tell me

why the washing machine
is broken?

Oh, no, no, no.

It's too late.

You're going
to take the couch.

Thanks.

Is there something going on
between you and Rachel?

No.

She's just nervous for prom.

Listen, if there's anything,

anything, you know that
you can talk to me, right?

Thanks.

I'm going to go
get you the sheets.

[cellphone pings]

[knocking]

[door opens]

Lea's staying on the couch.

You should apologize to her
in the morning.

Mmm-hmm.

[creaking]

[screams]

Rachel?

[Rachel screams]

Rachel?

[Rachel crying]

Rachel?

-[whimpering]
-What is it? What's wrong?

[gasps]

Are you okay?

What's going on?

Just breathe.

You must've had a nightmare.

It wasn't a nightmare.

You really need to
get rid of this dress, Rach.

I'm worried about you.

Get rid of it?

Are you out of your
freaking mind?

Rach.

You don't want me
to look good.

You're just a jealous bitch.

[breathing heavily]

Text me later, or don't.

It's up to you.

Ah.

Lea.

Lea.

[indistinct whispering]

[Mom] Rachel, come on.

Lea's waiting, let's go.

Okay.

[up-tempo music playing]

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

[music continues playing]

Want to go sit down
for a minute?

[music thumping]

Let's go inside.

[gagging]

Rachel?

Rachel.

[echoing voice] Rachel?

[screaming]

[screaming stops]

[voice squeaks]

[grunting, gasping]

Lea?

Lea.

Lea.

[sobbing]

[breathing heavily]

How exactly did she die?

She was poisoned
by embalming fluid.

Coroner concluded that it
soaked in through her skin.

Soaked through from what?

I'm unsure.

But her death
wouldn't have been pleasant.

She would've
likely experienced

intense hallucinations
as a result of the poisoning.

[clanks]

[clanks]

All right, she's all ready
for the cremation.

Why don't you
go take your break?

[zipper closes]

[humming]

[chair squeaking]

[phone buttons clacking]

Hi.

Yes.

I think I have a piece
you'll be very interested in.

Yes.

One of a kind item.

All right,
that was The White Dress.

A classic, classic
urban legend

that goes back
a number of years.

I am here with
the director now, Ethan Evans.

Hey, thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

We worked together
on The Haunted Museum.

And I absolutely
love your episodes,
love your direction.

-You grew up in the UK?
-Yes.

Here in America,
before the Internet,

you grow up in a town,
in high school,

and someone's like,
"Dude, this girl put on
a white dress for prom,

but it was
a dead person's dress.

And then she became possessed.

The girl tried to kill her.

And anyone
who wore the dress died.

That's a real dress."

Like everybody swore
that it was real.

But they knew one person
who knew someone.

There was like
one or two degrees removed.

Did that happen in the UK?

It was more ghost stories,
you know.

There's a lot of,
like you were saying,
people thinking they're true.

It's kind of like
a game of telephone where,

you know, the best bits stick

and everyone's going around
the playground,
sharing these stories.

It feels like...

Urban legends feel
very American, I think.

Obviously, in choosing
the stories,

there's so many
to choose from,

but one of the things I loved
about The White Dress,

is that it has, kind of,
classic ghost story imagery.

There's something about
the mix of the urban legend

and the classic ghost story
that I absolutely love.

Had you heard the story
of The White Dressbefore?

And what excited you
about the story?

And what were you most excited
to shoot in it?

I'd never heard
the story before,

but it's really interesting
when you read into it.

I think it's known as, like,
one of the oldest
American urban legends.

And I think, for me,
when I read it
for the first time,

the word that stood out to me
was, "Mortician."

Just the idea that, it feels
like a classic ghost tale.

The idea that this mortician

would steal dresses from
corpses and sell them on.

But at the same time,
it feels like something
that could actually happen.

Which is, you know,
are the best urban legends.

Yeah, they live
in that space of:

it sounds so crazy,
but is also still possible.

[zipper closes]

[Ethan] I recently went
to a true crime museum
and I I saw this,

it was this beautiful dress
and I went up
and read the description.

And it told the story
about how this was
a British serial killer,

wore this dress and murdered,
like, 100 children.

And suddenly, I got, you know,
shivers going through my body.

It was like,
it was so interesting,

the psychology of how
such a beautiful
but mundane object

can, you know, hold so much
power and energy.

And that's exactly
the first thing I thought of

when I read this urban legend.

It's, "We can have so much fun
playing with this

and crafting these
ghostly scares

and really getting
under people's skin."

Well, there is something
about your clothing
that is so your identity.

Our clothing is how
we express ourselves

and telegraph to others
who we are
and what our intention is,

or hide it or disguise it.

And there is something,
I think, people love
buying vintage clothes,

but every time you put on
something that's
100 years old,

you think, "Who else wore this
and what was their life like?

And how did they die?"

You go into a vintage store,

and you have no idea
the history of
what you're picking up.

And like you say,
for all we know,

maybe someone, you know,
has murdered someone
in this, you know?

That's a terrifying thought.

And, I think,
that's definitely

something we wanted
to get across
through this episode,

is that history
and putting a lot of focus
on the dress itself.

What was the most
challenging scene for you
to shoot in this episode?

I think perhaps the climax,

which is this...

It's quite a big scene
set in a bathroom stall.

There's quite a lot of action,
and there's stunts as well,

and trying to suddenly flip.

At that moment,

she goes from being
quite quiet, to herself
within the scene,

and then, suddenly, exploding
and attacking someone,

strangling and screaming.

[screaming]

[Ethan] And I think there's
so much that went into that

and I think that was
probably challenging

just based on getting
the performance there,

and focus really heavily
on safe stunts, you know.

I think that was a lot for...

This was Leslie's first film
as well that she'd done,

so she was so committed
and gave it her all.

And thanks to the team.

We had such an amazing team.

Such a daunting scene
felt like such a joy to film.

How much do you shot list?

How much do you storyboard?

How much do you just show up
and figure it out?

For me, I've got OCD.

In the real sense,
not the, kind of,
cleaning sense.

And so that means
that feeds into my directing,

and so I, just my mind works.

I just have to be so specific
about everything.

Which can be really
draining at times

because I do multiple drafts
for shot list,

you know,
storyboard everything.

I'm a big believer of that
your film or your episode

is only as good
as you're planning.

Do you draw the storyboards?

Do you have a storyboard
artist you work with?

I just do them myself.

And my dad's an artist,

and you'd never guess that
looking at my storyboards,
because they're all--

Yeah, I've, like, my mom's
an artist and it's like...

-Yeah.
-It's like caveman paintings.

As long as you can get
the idea across to like the DP

and show, "This is what
I'm, kind of, looking for.

Maybe there's a push in here,
a two shot..."

Or, you know, as long
as you can get that
information across, I think.

It really helps as well,
on the day when you're
pushed for time,

you're just scanning through
the shot list and you can see,

you know, still of what
you're trying to achieve

just at a glance.

Is there a formula you use
for different,

-for building
tension and scare?
-Yeah.

It's more about showing
the environment
a character is in

as opposed to their reaction,

because that way,
you place the audience
as if they're really there.

You know, it's almost
becomes a documentary,

you're experiencing it
as the character is.

And I think, at the same time,
reactions are so important.

So it's about
spending the time,

making sure you
get the actor there as well,

so it's such
a technical thing,

and it's something
I'm still learning about.

Breaking down
what makes a good scare?

[screaming]

I've got like
a 200-page document

where I've just broken down
various horror films.

And, you know,
"What's the key scares?
And what happens?

What techniques do they use?

What works, what doesn't?"

And then, like, a little
conclusion about,

basically, what my
thoughts were.

Was that successful,
was it not?

[whimpering]

[gasping]

[screaming]

I'm such a fan of your work.

I'm really excited to see
where your career goes.

Thank you so much.
It means the world.

Especially, coming from you
because, you know,

I've grown up
watching all your films.

Thank you,
I feel really old now.

-[laughs]
-No, it's okay.

No, honestly,
I think I'm still

recovering from Hostel,
to be honest.

-Great.
-Yeah, it was definitely one

where I sat in the shower
afterwards and thought,

you know, "What is life?
This is amazing."

-[laughs]
-Well, that's well, you know,

hopefully, your films
are going to do that

to someone else out there.

Hopefully, some young viewer
is completely traumatized

in the shower now going,
"Oh God."

-I know.
-"What am I going to do?"

I hope so. I hope so.
