The town of Strickfield has no shortage of urban legends
2
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.400
and monstrous myths, But on this Halloween night, a group
3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.919
of college students are about to realize that the terrors
4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.199
on their television screen are only just the beginning, and
5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.839
now they have to wonder who will survive to return
6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:21.440
the tape.
7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:31.000

at heart. Join me for a tale of Fallowy. This

12
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:18.079

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.199
But now, my friends, it's about time we head to
41
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:11.039
that old berg known as Strickfield, Ohio, where I understand
42
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:16.120
there's a videotape people are dying to watch, so get
43
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.960
yourself comfortable. The story starts right after these quick words.
44
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:38.479
The Strictfield Slasher by Rob Fields prologue. I was at
45
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.520
the Strickfield Town Center Mall on Halloween morning. I was
46
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.360
very much surprised when it was announced in one of
47
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.159
my classes this week that Strickfield University wasn't having any
48
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.199
classes today or tomorrow, something about how it was made
49
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.840
into village law that there's no school or college on Halloween,
50
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.199
as well as no one unless you went to Strickfield Academy.
51
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.240
In light of that, I decided to head out to
52
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.240
the mall for the first time ever and check it out.
53
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.240
The mall itself was okay, not too many stores in
54
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.319
here for a big mall, but I noticed some of
55
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.759
the vacancies were being filled, probably for the holidays. When
56
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.519
I reached the other end of the mall, that was
57
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.319
when things started getting better. I went into Spirit Halloween
58
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.000
and picked up makeup for my costume for tonight. After that,
59
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.120
I went into a women's clothing store next door. I
60
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.120
was so happy to be able to find a pair
61
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.079
of sexy bib overalls in my size for more of
62
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.959
my costume. When you're chunky like me, finding stuff in
63
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.720
your size can be hit or miss, but not today, thankfully.
64
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.079
When I finished my shopping, I got a text from
65
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.959
my boyfriend, Dillard Fuller. Heard from your roommate. You're at
66
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.279
the mall. Can you pick up my board game I
67
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.959
ordered from the bookstore. Help pay you back tonight at
68
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.160
the party, I replied, and said I would. Then I
69
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.439
started walking to the other end of the mall to
70
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.279
go to the bookstore. When I looked down one of
71
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.720
the far wings of the mall, I saw a faint light.
72
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.240
Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to
73
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.199
see what was there. I reached the light and saw
74
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.120
only a single store called Tinkers. It looked like a
75
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.959
junk or oddity shop. Since I walked down this way,
76
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.199
I figured I might as well go on in. I
77
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.240
started looking at all kinds of knickknacks, but didn't find
78
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.199
anything I just had to have. After a time, I
79
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.920
felt I wasn't alone. Can I help you, a man
80
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.720
appearing to be fifty asked, just looking around, I replied,
81
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:57.600
looking for Halloween things. The man brightened up, Why don't
82
00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.959
you come up to the counter. I have some Halloween
83
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.240
items you might be interested in. I humored the man
84
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.439
and followed him to the counter. He had things in there,
85
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.480
from old video game consoles to board games. He even
86
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.360
had some Halloween things on display, ranging from old Vinyl
87
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.360
records to unopened original Ben Cooper costume mask sets to
88
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.959
even what's that? I asked, pointing to it. The man,
89
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.279
who introduced himself as Isley Tinker, opened the case and
90
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.079
pulled out what looked like an old movie on video
91
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.199
cassette called The Strickfield Slasher. It was in a professional
92
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.240
looking clamshell. I opened it to see the video cassette.
93
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.399
My boyfriend actually watches these things, I said to mister Tinker.
94
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.720
He still got his VCR DVD combo deck hooked up.
95
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:57.439
What's this movie about? Mister Tinker explained that back around
96
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.079
nineteen seventy one, these films students set out to make
97
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.000
an independent horror movie for a class project for Halloween.
98
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.399
Damian Carnivosh was a person who might have been considered
99
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.439
goth by today's standards based on how he looked and dressed. However,
100
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.720
back in those days it wasn't cool anyway. Damien came
101
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.680
from money, much like the mirons I'd heard so much about.
102
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.240
Since he had money, Damien had no problem securing the
103
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.600
cast he needed to make his movie. Also, there was
104
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.519
no way he was going to film the movie at
105
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.920
his family spooky old mansion on Pleasant Valley Road since
106
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.439
it was known to be haunted. Damien had found another
107
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.720
old mansion where he wanted to shoot his film, Grim Manner.
108
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.240
The problem was the old plantation was located in the
109
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.839
backwoods of Strickfield, and people weren't too inclined to go
110
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:57.720
in there. Damien made it known that he wasn't afraid. Also,
111
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.360
hasn't it always been said that money talks? Again, Damien
112
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.720
had plenty of money. He easily got the cast to
113
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.040
accompany him out to grim Manor. He even got a
114
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.120
benefactor who agreed to put up a special grade of
115
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.279
film for Carnivoge to use in exchange for a producer credit.
116
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.439
Among the cast was this huge, beefy football player who
117
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.199
would play the title character of the strict Field slasher.
118
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.319
What Damian either didn't know or didn't tell the cast
119
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.360
was that grim Manor was also supposed to be haunted,
120
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:40.480
much like his family's Carnivoche estate. The cast and crew
121
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.360
would live in grim Manor as they were filming. In
122
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.200
the beginning, they would leave the old plantation house to
123
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.240
go to their classes, then return to film at dark.
124
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.519
As time went on, it was becoming more and more
125
00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.519
evident that the big beefy football player Scott Meade started
126
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.960
losing his sanity and was taking his role as the
127
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:12.120
Strickfield slasher way too seriously. I'd better stop here, Tinker said.
128
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.000
The rest of the story isn't something a charming young
129
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:21.159
lady like yourself would want to hear. It's very sensitive stuff.
130
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.519
I smiled at mister Tinker for the compliment, and said,
131
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.639
our group likes watching horror movies, especially my boyfriend who's
132
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.480
into these VHS tapes. Please go ahead and finish the story.
133
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.240
It's not like I'm going to die from hearing it.
134
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.519
At first, mister Tinker didn't seem to want to. Then
135
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.879
he took a soft, deep breath. Okay, but I warned you.
136
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.000
Mister Tinker continued the story and said that on that dark,
137
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.960
stormy Halloween night, Scott Mead had finally lost his mind
138
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.080
and started a te backing his fellow actors and crew members,
139
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.759
brutally slaying them one by one. It didn't take long
140
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.879
to see just how he had horribly painted the walls
141
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.639
and stained the floors of the rooms where Meade killed
142
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:19.600
his fellow cast and crew. No one ever knew what
143
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:24.600
became of Damian Carnivosh, except that he was never seen again.
144
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.200
Whether or not he turned up like the others making
145
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:35.320
the Strickfield Slasher, nobody knows, mister Tinker finished. Then I
146
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.759
became skeptical. Okay, so how did you come to know
147
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.159
all about this? I knew you might doubt me, young lady,
148
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:49.399
mister Tinker replied, Make no mistake, there was an official
149
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.639
police report regarding what I just disclosed. After several missing
150
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.279
persons reports were filed, the Strickfield Police went out searching
151
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.200
for the missing students and eventually traced their whereabouts to
152
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.039
grim Manor. It was there where they found the bodies,
153
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.840
or rather what was left of them. They also found
154
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.440
a few cameras and several cans of film that contained
155
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.120
the footage, which was how the police were able to
156
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:22.360
determine what had happened to those students. Mister Tinker also
157
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.679
mentioned that the police had found some more bodies that
158
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.240
were brutally slaughtered at the old House on the Hill
159
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.320
located at one eight five Indian Hollow Road. Much like
160
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.360
the horrible scenes at grim Manor, the bodies of a
161
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.799
group of college kids having a Halloween party were found.
162
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:46.759
What's more, Scott Meade himself was never found. In addition
163
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.279
to Damian Carnivoche, mister Tinker continued, it was a few
164
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.639
years ago when someone brought a VHS collection into my
165
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.360
shop wanting to unload it. I bought the collection from him,
166
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.960
since VHR chest tapes are highly sought after here in
167
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.080
Strickfield and the surrounding areas. I looked through the collection
168
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.919
and found that video cassette you're holding. I had seen
169
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.039
things about this movie posted on your university's website and
170
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.440
knew I had a rare piece. When I found it
171
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.200
in the collection, I raised my eyebrow. I think my
172
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:24.440
roommate and I did see something about this, mister Tinker,
173
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.919
Zoe Griest and I had been spending nights in our
174
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.200
dorm room and looking over all the different legends on
175
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:36.360
Strickfield University's website. In fact, I think it was just
176
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.120
last night that we saw what you're telling me. I sighed,
177
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.679
what are you asking for this movie? I know my
178
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.240
boyfriend would absolutely love this. Mister Tinker took the tape
179
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.279
back and looked at it again. Based on the back cover,
180
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.320
there weren't that many copies of this movie made. Possibly
181
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.480
given the reasons I just explained and the fact that
182
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.519
only fifty copies were made based on the numbering on
183
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.039
the back cover, this video cassette is probably a collector's item. However,
184
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.120
you are the only one who asked about it since
185
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.799
I acquired it. He seemed to think about it. Tell
186
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.720
you what, I'll let you have it for twenty dollars done,
187
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.039
I exclaimed, and opened my purse to fish out a twenty.
188
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.320
After finishing the purchase, I left the store with the movie.
189
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.360
I looked over the clamshell case again as I made
190
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.360
my way to the bookstore. When I reached it, I
191
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:38.399
suddenly remembered the mall's bookstore itself was on the university's website,
192
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.919
something about how two girls went completely crazy and started
193
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.240
eating people in there. I walked into the bookstore and
194
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:51.320
easily picked up Dillard's board game without any issues or
195
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.519
anybody wanting to eat my brains. Afterwards, I went back
196
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.679
to my dorm. When I got back, I saw Zoe
197
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.399
was out, I found myself looking at The Strickfield Slasher.
198
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.440
I couldn't tell you why, but I felt I really
199
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.080
wanted to watch the movie. Only thing was I didn't
200
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:14.480
own a VCR. I could have just waited until the
201
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:20.000
evening to surprise Dillard, but I just had to see it. Fortunately,
202
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.960
I knew right where to find a VCR. I left
203
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.279
my dorm and went to one of the empty classrooms
204
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.600
at University Hall that I knew had one. I quietly
205
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.759
closed the door and got everything going. I took the
206
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.879
tape out of the clamshell case and slid it right
207
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.399
into the slot. The machine pulled the tape in and
208
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:45.639
began playing on its own. There were no trailers for
209
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.600
upcoming releases or even a copyright warning. The video was
210
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:53.480
in black and white and actually looked like it was
211
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.519
filmed in four K, even though everything looked like it
212
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.200
was right out of the early seventies. Seeing that everything
213
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.600
was okay, I went over to a table and sat down.
214
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.000
From there, I began watching The Strickfield Slasher. As soon
215
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.960
as I saw the dark and stormy sky that started
216
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.840
the film, I knew right then it was going to
217
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:24.440
be scary more scares to come weekly spooky. We'll be
218
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:32.759
right back. Chapter one. It was around seven pm when
219
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.279
Zoe and I were riding our scooters from Strickfield University
220
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.519
to Dillard Fuller's party. We both stopped fast when we
221
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.759
reached the driveway. Now we were looking at each other.
222
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.279
What is it, Brianna, I asked. I pointed right up
223
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:53.000
at the house. Don't you recognize it, Zoe? This is
224
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.960
one eight five Indian Hollow Road. That's the same house
225
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.360
where all those college kids were having their Halloween already,
226
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.120
back in nineteen seventy one, the night Scott Mead left
227
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.639
grim Manner and made his way here. We just saw
228
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:13.639
that on the university's website. Now Zoe looked worried. We
229
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.080
were both dressed up as sexy clowns, but I thought
230
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.919
she looked way cuter than me, especially with looking as
231
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:26.919
scared as she was. Maybe we should just leave, Zoe suggested.
232
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.600
Then she pointed to me. Also, the webpage said Scott
233
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:36.799
Mead was never found. I shivered a little after remembering
234
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.919
what Meed did in the movie. I wasn't sure if
235
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:46.399
those kills were real or practical effects. Still, Zoe, we're
236
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.399
long past nineteen seventy one. I doubt Scott Mead's going
237
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.000
to be out prowling around tonight in search of well.
238
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:59.320
Zoe pointed at me again, say it. I gave her
239
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:06.440
a worried look. Young sexy college girls like us. We
240
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.039
both considered things and eventually decided to ride our scooters
241
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.240
up the hilly driveway. We parked them at a nearby
242
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.440
tree and brought our bags to the front door. As
243
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.920
soon as I rang the doorbell, there was this really loud,
244
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:25.279
blood curdling scream, like some girl was being murdered inside.
245
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.720
Zoe and I both shrieked and then got a grip
246
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.880
when we saw normal movement in the house. Then I
247
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:37.279
had an idea and rang the doorbell again. Again we
248
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.200
heard the horrifying scream. A few moments later, Dillard Fuller
249
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.640
himself answered the door, dressed up as a mad doctor.
250
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.119
Halloween songs were playing inside, not loud enough to wear.
251
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:55.640
It was blasting everywhere. Zoe Briana Glad you guys could
252
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:01.640
make it, he said, nice fucking doorbell, dill. Zoe muttered,
253
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.920
we thought some chick was really being slaughtered in there.
254
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.200
Dillard laughed a little. Yeah, I didn't know about the
255
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.079
doorbell being rigged until you two rang it just now anyway,
256
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.359
come on in, He stepped aside. The two of us
257
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.559
entered and looked around to see how creepy this house was.
258
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.559
We came into the living room where the others were.
259
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:29.000
I turned to Dillard, did you rent this place or something? Babe?
260
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.359
Don't you know about the history of this house? We did,
261
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:41.160
Xander Weiss called out, and we do. Eddie Prance added Dillard, Xander, Eddie,
262
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.039
and Rock Harris were all members of the Sigma Chi
263
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:49.519
fraternity in addition to playing football for the Serpents. Along
264
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.319
with Zoe and me, there were three other girls. Nancy
265
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.640
Lyles was the only sorority girl here and belonged to
266
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.359
Alpha Delta Kappa, while Ganice Vender and Misha Boltonhouse were
267
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.319
university cheerleaders. There were nine of us total. Seriously, why
268
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.759
would you guys even throw a party here? I asked them.
269
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:16.440
And after that shit that happened back in nineteen seventy one,
270
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:21.000
why not? Rock grumbled? We got it all to ourselves,
271
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:27.119
super cheap. It's ours till tomorrow afternoon, Eddie added. Then
272
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.640
Dillard wrapped his arms around my waist. Did you pick
273
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.400
up my game, honey. We shared a quick kiss. I
274
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.799
held up the bag right here. There's something else in
275
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.880
it too. He kissed me again. When we came apart,
276
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:47.799
I handed him the bag. No way, Dillard gasped. When
277
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.720
he pulled the Strickfield Slasher out. He looked right at me.
278
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.960
Where did you get this, Brianna. He opened the clamshell
279
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.039
and looked at the tape. Yeah, this is the real
280
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.240
deal here, He looked at me again. You know how
281
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.079
extremely rare copies of this movie are. You can't even
282
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.640
find these on eBay or Etsy or even the more
283
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.440
obscure websites. I told him where I found the tape,
284
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.000
as he whipped out his wallet and paid me back.
285
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.799
Never heard of no store called Tinkers, Eddie said, skeptically.
286
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.119
You sure it's in the mall. I go there every
287
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.400
day and I ain't never once seen that store there. Look,
288
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:31.440
I know where I went and found that movie at
289
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.279
I snapped. Dillard looked Eddie's way, don't sweat it, man.
290
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.000
Maybe the store just opened. It is getting closer to
291
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:46.200
the holiday season, maybe, Eddie muttered. Sure enough, Dillard brought
292
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.599
his VCR DVD combo deck to the party. It was
293
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.240
hooked up to an old school TV. I mean we're
294
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.160
talking boob tube here. Dillard popped the tape in. Gather around, everybody,
295
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.799
It's time to watch a very rare piece of horror cinema.
296
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.200
The nine of us were sitting together and watching The
297
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.559
Strickfield Slasher. Now Dillard wanted me to sit on his lap.
298
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.680
Even watching it for the second time, this movie still
299
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.279
creeped me out. Then Dillard told everybody some trivia about
300
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.640
how the movie was filmed on some special black and
301
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.799
white film which made the picture quality look like it
302
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:31.079
was filmed in four K like before. The movie started
303
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.000
out on a night just like tonight, except in the
304
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:39.240
movie it was both dark and stormy. There were nine
305
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:44.720
people attending the Halloween party at grim manor Funny Thing.
306
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.160
There were the same number of guys and girls like
307
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:53.599
at our party, and they were wearing similar costumes too.
308
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:55.920
A few of the other guys agreed on how good
309
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.440
the picture quality was for an old VHS. The were
310
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.960
talking among each other and doing party stuff. Many of
311
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.000
them were drinking canned beer. A few of the girls
312
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.880
were being flirty with the jocks, one of them showing
313
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:14.240
her boobs without reservation. It wasn't long before they decided
314
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.519
to kick the party up a notch. They all gathered
315
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.839
around in the living room to play a sexy version
316
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.319
of Truth or Dare. Zoe, who sat next to me
317
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.759
and Dillard, took my hand and held it. When the
318
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.559
game was really getting interesting, Scott Mead crashed the party
319
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.400
and started brutally killing people. I squeezed Zoe's hand a
320
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.359
few times too at how scary Mead was. When I
321
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.079
watched The Strickfield Slasher earlier, I was holding myself at
322
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.200
how scared Scott Mead made me feel. He was playing
323
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.279
some big monster of a man who escaped from the
324
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.839
Eerie City Asylum a real place. Eventually, he made his
325
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.799
way to grim Manor and went on a murder spree.
326
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.519
Her Tinker told me earlier. Mead went totally batshit crazy
327
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:09.400
and viciously killed nearly everybody. Then he left grim Manor
328
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.359
and made his way across the village until he came
329
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.480
to a house on a hill where some other college
330
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.720
kids were partying, the very same house we were in
331
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:24.960
at that moment. Getting back to the movie, Scott Mead
332
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.759
was creating a hell of a bloodbath with the partiers.
333
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.799
I still wondered if the kill scenes were fake or
334
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:36.160
if we were actually watching a snuff film. The blood, gore,
335
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.240
and nudity certainly weren't toned down in any way. Even
336
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.200
the screams were as blood curdling and realistic as could be.
337
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.880
Just hearing Scott Meade scream each time he went to
338
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.599
murder somebody kept making shivers go down my spine. We
339
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.720
were at the part of the movie where Scott Mead
340
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.880
went upstairs to the bathroom. He opened the door and
341
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.519
found the flirty girl who was showing her goods, all
342
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.599
hot and naked and taking a shower. Dillard pointed to
343
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.920
the screen. Today, a final girl could get away with
344
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.200
being nude like that in a slasher movie. But back then, yeah,
345
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:17.440
she's dead meat. Suddenly a huge flash flickered at the windows,
346
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:25.880
making everybody shriek. Then a loud rumble followed. It seemed
347
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.240
we were getting a dark and stormy night on Halloween
348
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:36.440
and Strickfield ourselves. Then I noticed Rock was sneering at me. Hey, Brianna,
349
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.160
you think you could be a final girl in a
350
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:40.000
scary movie?
351
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.200
Oh?
352
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.480
I knew where that asshole was coming from, you heard Dillard.
353
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.000
Even though I'm fat. I'd probably be able to survive
354
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.319
in a horror movie made today, I sighed, But I
355
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.480
think even i'd be dead in this movie. I've never
356
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.880
seen any slashers where a fat girl became final girl.
357
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.839
Dillard pointed right at Rock lay off Brianna, I mean it.
358
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:08.400
I won't put up with you giving her a hard time.
359
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:14.079
When Rock finally shut up, Dillard turned to me, you okay, hun,
360
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:19.279
I nodded, I'm not offended. Really. The truth was I
361
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:25.359
was easily chunky, maybe considered big, not morbidly obese. However,
362
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:28.079
plenty of guys checked me out when I came to
363
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.960
Strickfield University, but Dillard was the one who acted on me.
364
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.240
I had been with him for a good two years now.
365
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.640
Even now, he didn't have a problem with me sitting
366
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.359
on his lap as we kept watching the movie. When
367
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.960
Zoe squeezed my hand again, I gulped at knowing what
368
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.759
I was about to see on a repeat. Viewing what
369
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.359
everybody else would see for the first time, you just
370
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.359
knew the guys were appreciating the shower chick, especially when
371
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:01.640
her nudity was quite graphic. The chick tried being seductive
372
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.160
to the killer while letting the shower rain down on her.
373
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:09.400
It seemed as though Scott Mead would spare her. Suddenly
374
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:13.400
he screamed like a crazy person. Then he grabbed hold
375
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.720
of her and ripped her arms right out at the roots.
376
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.319
When the girl screamed and started bleeding everywhere, the others
377
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.359
all groaned at how grotesque the scene was. Mead finished
378
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.240
her off by grabbing her head and twisting it off
379
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:31.000
in his hands. Even seeing that similar scene in Creep
380
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:35.720
Show made me WinCE man. No wonder the Strickfield Slasher
381
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.680
never really saw the light of day, Dillard said, the
382
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.680
story's just terrible. It's all extreme violence and nudity just
383
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.400
for the sake of having it. Whatever made Damien Carnivosh
384
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:51.920
want to film this piece of shit? Anyway, Those Carnivoche
385
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.519
people were always fucking crazy. Nancy muttered, No wonder that
386
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.559
house on Pleasant Valley Road has always talked about so much.
387
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.799
You keeping the movie, Zoe asked Dillard. Yeah, I'm definitely
388
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:09.079
keeping it, he assured her. Brianna here found it for me,
389
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.960
and it's a rare collector's item. He don't throw stuff
390
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:16.720
like that away. It was then when I realized, hey,
391
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.920
we never turned the music down to watch this movie.
392
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.440
Eddie took a drink of his beer and got up. Yeah, yeah,
393
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.640
I'll get it. He went to the stereo the guy's brought,
394
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:35.799
then started pushing the stop button. Huh, what gives man?
395
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.559
Rock called over his shoulder. It's called the stop button,
396
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.720
you moron. Eddie turned around. I did push the stop button.
397
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:50.640
Rock got up and went to Eddie. He opened the
398
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.759
CD and tape decks. Both ain't nobody playing nothing in here?
399
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.440
Then he looked around, where the fuck's that music coming from?
400
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:06.960
Then Jennie stood up and stammered anybody. Suddenly the front
401
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.519
door practically exploded. We either gasped in surprise or screamed
402
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:13.960
when we saw this mountain of a man wearing a
403
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.079
sack cloth over his head. He looked exactly like the
404
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.799
character Scott Mead played in the movie. This guy was
405
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.640
so tall he had to lower himself to be able
406
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.559
to get through the doorway. Upon smashing through, he was
407
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:31.960
so drenched in muscles he easily made Rock look scrawny,
408
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:38.000
and he was holding the absolute biggest meat cleaver any
409
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.920
of us had ever seen. I wasn't sure about the
410
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:46.519
others here, but I was definitely scared as hell. Any
411
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:52.000
of you guys order him, Edie asked, uneasily. Not as
412
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.240
drunk as I thought. When nobody spoke up, I knew
413
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.759
right away we were all in for a war of shit.
414
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:08.279
Are you afraid? Good weekly spooky, We'll be right back.
415
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:17.720
Chapter two. The giant looked over everybody in the house
416
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.480
and started heaving. Then he looked up to the ceiling
417
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.680
and screamed, the same way Scott Mead screamed in the
418
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.519
movie before going after his victims. Nobody stuck around to
419
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.200
see if this guy was real or not. Funny thing.
420
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:38.640
The music we were hearing suddenly got quicker and louder
421
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:43.119
as we all moved and scattered in different directions. Okay, no,
422
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.119
Zoe turned and ran with me. As it turned out,
423
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:51.599
Mead turned and chased after Zoe and me. First, for
424
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.880
a giant of a man, he could run like a
425
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:59.799
regular sized person. Oh Jesus Christ, Zoe shrieked, why is
426
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:04.200
this what's happening? I don't know? I shrieked back. Like
427
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.839
Scott Mead and the Strickfield Slasher, this guy never spoke
428
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:13.279
a word. He just growled, roared, and screamed. Soon Zoe
429
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.279
and I reached the stairway and ran up. It was
430
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.359
a good thing we didn't stop, because that big meat
431
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.640
cleaver would have got me in the back for sure.
432
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.799
Zoe screamed when we turned to see the blade embedded
433
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:28.599
in the wall at the top of the stairs. When
434
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.759
we heard Scott Mead coming up, we turned and ran.
435
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.640
We made it into the open room that was probably
436
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:38.400
the master bedroom. Zoe slammed the door and locked it.
437
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.880
We didn't have much time to catch our breaths when
438
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.240
Scott Mead exploded right through this door too. When he
439
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.279
screamed again, Zoe and I slipped past him and got
440
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.480
back out. We were almost to the stairway when we
441
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.799
heard him coming for us again. Zoe and I had
442
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.400
to take the steps two at a time. As soon
443
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.599
as we were a few steps away from the stairway,
444
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:05.319
the music got really loud. Then it drastically changed. After
445
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.480
me to jumped the stairway and landed right by us.
446
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.319
He took one long look at me and then suddenly
447
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:16.240
turned his eyes on Zoe. She screamed when Mead grabbed
448
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.799
her by one of her pigtails and pulled her back
449
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.599
to him. Oh God, help me. She screamed as Mead
450
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:27.039
grabbed the other pigtail. When I moved to try and
451
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.920
save her, he pulled on both of Zoe's pigtails until
452
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:36.400
he pulled her face apart right down the middle. You
453
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:40.559
could literally see just her eyeballs, muscles, and bone. Now
454
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.039
blood was quickly flowing down Zoe's body and whetting her costume.
455
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.720
Her eyeballs went up to the ceiling as she screamed
456
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:53.160
her final scream before she dropped to the floor. Forever
457
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:59.680
the music changed to match this dismal event. Mead growled
458
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:03.720
and picked up his cleaver. Then he took another long,
459
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:13.240
hard look at me. Chapter three. I shook my head
460
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.319
quickly and suddenly ran out the front door as Mead
461
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:20.720
screamed like a deranged lunatic behind me. Now, Mead roared
462
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.079
as he came outside and started chasing me down. I
463
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.559
knew there was no way I could outrun him. In
464
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:29.200
a matter of a few minutes, he would easily carve
465
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.920
my fat ass up into fine cuts of meat. Suddenly,
466
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:36.240
a big pickup truck passed in front of me and
467
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.319
braked to a stop. Eddie Prance was in the back,
468
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.240
holding his hands out get in here, he yelled. I
469
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.400
grabbed his hands to let him pull me in back,
470
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.079
but Mead reached the truck. Suddenly, Eddie cried out when
471
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.160
he sprang forward to escape and fell on top of me.
472
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.559
I gasped when I saw the meat cleaver slam into
473
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.599
the back of the truck, making the entire front end
474
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.960
come right up off its wheel. Eddie and I were
475
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.440
right where Mead could easily reach us. We got to
476
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:09.519
our feet and tried to run. Come on, Brianna, Eddie yelled.
477
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:13.359
Suddenly Mead was right there and grabbed Eddie by his
478
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:19.279
long hair. Oh shit, he screeched. Oh God, help me, Brianna,
479
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:24.000
help me. I grabbed Eddie's hands and tried to pull
480
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:27.519
him my way. Eddie really clenched his teeth as Mead
481
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.279
pulled his hair harder. The next thing I knew, Eddie's
482
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:36.039
neck skin was pulling apart. Suddenly, Mead had Eddie's entire
483
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.279
face and hair right in his fist, as if it
484
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:43.480
were a Halloween mask. The rest of Eddie and me
485
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:47.799
fell and tumbled over each other. Now Eddie screamed as
486
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.680
he got up and started running around like a chicken
487
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.440
with its head cut off, except he had a bare
488
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.680
skull with just eyeballs, muscles, and bone. Blood ran down
489
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.759
his and soaked his costume. Mead marched right after him.
490
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.359
Then Eddie started to slow down and sink to his knees.
491
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.840
Before Eddie could sink any further, Mead grabbed his neckbone
492
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.159
and yanked up hard to take his skull and his
493
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.079
entire spine along with it. What was left of Eddie's
494
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:24.400
body slumped over forever. Mead held his cleaver up as
495
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.599
he screamed at the sky. Rock tried attacking Mead from behind,
496
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:33.320
but all he made the Strickfield Slasher do was move
497
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:38.000
just slightly. Now the killer turned around and saw Rock.
498
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.519
Mead screamed insanely again before he swung Eddie's spine and
499
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:47.079
skull hard at ROC's head. The impact made ROC's head
500
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:51.360
shatter like it was ceramic. I screamed really loud on
501
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.480
seeing that graphic horror right in front of me, knowing
502
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:59.079
it was very real. ROC's headless body stood for many
503
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.599
long moments until it wobbled and fell to its knees.
504
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.960
Then it toppled over and landed hard on its chest.
505
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.199
I looked past Mead to the truck and saw everybody
506
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:13.920
else who was in it was getting away. It was
507
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.639
then when Dillard Fuller came to me and took my hand.
508
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:21.239
Come on, honey, let's move. As the two of us
509
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.880
turned to run away, Mead focused right on me again.
510
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:31.360
Then he pointed and screamed, bloody murder. Once more. Dillard
511
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.480
and I ran like hell with Mead in Hot Pursuit,
512
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:44.800
Chapter four. Dillard and I ran until we reached the barn.
513
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:48.840
We went inside and pulled the door shut. He found
514
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:52.360
a baseball bat. Just as Mead crashed right through the door,
515
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:56.440
he turned and saw Dillard and I again, he pointed
516
00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:01.320
right at us and screamed with madness. Dillard roared as
517
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:04.559
he jumped his skinny ass up and swung the baseball bat,
518
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.000
catching Mead right on top of the head. I think
519
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.800
I actually felt the impact of the bat and knew
520
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:14.960
Dillard didn't hold back. When my boyfriend landed on his feet,
521
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.840
Mead just stood there and looked down at him. Then
522
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:23.840
he pointed right at Dillard and screamed again. Oh shit,
523
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.440
Dillard yelled as he turned back to me. Run, Brianna, run.
524
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:32.480
Dillard and I ran out a side door when he
525
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.280
slammed it behind him, Mead still crashed right through it. Suddenly,
526
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:41.480
Dillard took me down, saving my life as that huge
527
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:46.639
cleaver flew right over us. Come on, Dillard yelled, grabbing
528
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.280
my hands and helping me back to my feet. I
529
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.960
stayed with him as Mead chased us down again. We
530
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.840
gained a little time since Mead stopped to pick up
531
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:00.280
his weapon. Soon he was pursuing us again. For a
532
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:03.119
giant man, he was running like he'd gotten his full
533
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:07.559
ride to Strickfield University in track and field instead of football.
534
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:11.440
Also for a chunky girl, I wasn't doing too bad
535
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:15.119
in keeping up with my boyfriend. Then we heard Mead
536
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.880
screaming behind us again and knew it wouldn't be long
537
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:22.960
before he'd catch up to us. Suddenly, Rock's truck came
538
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:26.840
right out of nowhere and slammed into Mead. We turned
539
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:30.199
to see Xander Weiss was driving it. Mead was holding
540
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.880
on as Xander eventually rammed him right smack into a tree.
541
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:38.400
I swore I could feel my own bones breaking on impact.
542
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:42.880
I knew I was fine, but just seeing the way
543
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:47.079
they crashed. Then I screamed when I saw Mead was
544
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:51.760
on his feet and shouting with utter derangement. Suddenly, Mead
545
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.480
started pushing the truck back. Xander was flooring it to
546
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.639
try and keep him pinned where he was. Die, you
547
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:05.840
fucking bastard, die, Xander screamed, just as crazily, fuck you,
548
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:09.840
even though there had to be a shit ton of
549
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:13.960
horsepower under the hood. Mead was screaming his insane screams
550
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:18.079
and actually started pushing the truck back. You could literally
551
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:22.159
see the back tires spinning in the dirt and grass.
552
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:26.639
Mead screamed an even more insane scream before he lifted
553
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:30.400
the right front end and turned the truck over onto
554
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:34.280
its side. Xander might have been better off staying in
555
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.119
the truck. When he tried to escape Scott, Mead was
556
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.960
right there to grab him and raise him up over
557
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:45.519
his head. Oh shit, were Xander's last words when Mead
558
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.119
ripped him in half like he was made out of
559
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:53.239
cloth and stuffed with cotton. After doing that, Mead became
560
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:58.360
slickened from head to toe with blood. We gotta get
561
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.280
out of here, Dillard yelled. Then he grabbed my hand,
562
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:05.840
making me turn and run with him. Why the fuck
563
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000
is this happening, I screamed, This was just supposed to
564
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.519
be a Halloween party tonight, right. Guess somebody didn't tell
565
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:18.599
him that. Dillard called back. As I was trying to
566
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.480
focus to keep up with him. I knew I wasn't
567
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:26.119
feeling right. Maybe seeing all that carnage was making me
568
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:35.119
sick inside. Still, I managed to stay with Dillard. Chapter five.
569
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.320
Dillard and I ran into some woods nearby. I let
570
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.599
him continue to lead the way. I was hoping we'd
571
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:47.679
lose Scott Mead, But why was he here and chasing
572
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.039
after us? Now? After all this time he was obviously
573
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:56.000
young and strong. Back in nineteen seventy one, you'd think
574
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:59.920
Mead was old enough to be retired and collecting social Security.
575
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.079
By now, looking at him, you'd swear he was still
576
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:06.320
hitting the gym every hour of every day. He was
577
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.599
still able to run fast. We couldn't see under his
578
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.519
sack mask, but it was like the bastard never aged
579
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:16.400
a single day. Dillard and I came out of the
580
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.320
woods and ran across some farmer's field. It wasn't long
581
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:24.480
before we could hear Scott Mead screaming his maddening scream
582
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.000
behind us. Christ, if we don't lose that big fucker,
583
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.360
we're both gonna be dead. Dillard gasped, No two ways
584
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:38.079
about it. We were both running out of steam. Still,
585
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.559
we kept running and running. It wasn't long before a
586
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.679
car pulled right up in front of us. It was
587
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.119
Mancy and Genie. Get in you two. Let's get the
588
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:53.559
fuck out of here, Nancy cried. Dillard and I quickly
589
00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:57.480
got in the back. Genie floored the gas. At least
590
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.480
we could catch our breaths now, But our rescue and
591
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:05.280
relief was very short lived when Scott Mead was suddenly
592
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.159
right up in the road ahead of us.
593
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.639
Don't go away, weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.
594
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:25.360
Chapter six, Maancy and Janie screamed. Then Janice slammed on
595
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:27.920
the brakes. How the fuck did he get ahead of
596
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:31.480
us like that? Nancy gasped, I could have sworn me
597
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:36.039
left his ass back there. Who cares? Dillard yelled, get
598
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.760
us out of here. Janice put the car in reverse
599
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:42.800
and floored it. Soon she was able to turn us around.
600
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.960
She put it in gear again and did some squealing
601
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.880
and peeling. Scott Mead landed right on the hood. Before
602
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.199
I could think, I felt my head hitting the roof
603
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:56.559
of the car. I was seeing stars and was dizzy. Now,
604
00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:59.639
I wasn't even aware of Dillard pulling me out of
605
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:05.599
the car, Brianna. He yelled to me. He sounded like
606
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:10.639
an old record being played really slow. I was still
607
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.760
too dizzy to shake the cobwebs. I was sure I
608
00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:17.039
felt skinny Dillard lifting my big body up and onto
609
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:21.280
his shoulder. I was also sure I heard more screaming,
610
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:27.960
probably from Genie and Nancy. God damn you. I heard
611
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:33.239
Dillard yell at meed, you motherfucker. I think I passed
612
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:36.559
out when I felt Dillard running with me on his shoulder.
613
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:47.239
Chapter seven. I finally woke up and recognized where we were.
614
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.639
Then I saw my boyfriend was right there. You okay, Brianna,
615
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.840
Dillard asked, holding my hand. I nodded, I think so.
616
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.199
I got up and attempted to walk. Dillard was there
617
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.199
with me. When I was doing okay and not feeling
618
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:11.159
dizzy or sick, I looked back at him, Yeah, I'm fine. Ow.
619
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:14.480
I put my free hand to where my head still hurt,
620
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:18.639
feels like I got cracked by a baseball bat. I
621
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:23.000
raised my eyebrow, and you really carried me on your shoulder.
622
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:28.960
Dillard squeezed my hand you bet, I did. But you're okay, right,
623
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:34.320
I nodded, Yeah, I think I'll be fine. Then I
624
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.880
recognized our surroundings. Why the fuck did you bring us
625
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:42.239
back here? Don't you think Scott Mead will double back
626
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.519
here to find us? Dillard sighed and shook his head.
627
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.440
I don't know, honey, but seriously, why are we being
628
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:55.320
terrorized by Scott fucking need Isn't the Strickfield Slasher just
629
00:43:56.000 --> 00:44:01.320
a fictional movie, a fictional character? I had to think.
630
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:05.679
Then I saw the VHS tape of the movie sticking
631
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:09.360
out of the VCR. I let go of Dillard's hand
632
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:13.119
and went to it to pull the tape out. Honey,
633
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:17.559
I'm really sorry, I groaned as I threw the tape
634
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:20.599
on the floor and tried smashing it with my shoes.
635
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:26.480
What are you doing, Dillard demanded. I don't know. The
636
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:29.199
Strickfield Slasher is here in the real world trying to
637
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:33.280
kill our asses. Right, maybe if we destroy this fucking
638
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.480
tape we can send him back. I even jumped up
639
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:39.000
and down on the tape, hoping my weight would be
640
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:44.039
enough to break the casing. When I stepped off of it, Oh, bullshit,
641
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:48.039
the tape isn't even cracked. I turned to Dillard. I
642
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:50.000
know I way enough to be able to destroy a
643
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:55.079
fucking videotape. Dillard even tried destroying it, but no matter
644
00:44:55.119 --> 00:45:00.480
what he did, Okay, I don't get it. Then Dillard
645
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.239
had an idea. He put the tape back into the VCR.
646
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:10.079
I'm glad that oversized idiot didn't destroy my equipment. What
647
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.960
are you doing? I asked, Let's watch the credits. Dillard said,
648
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:21.199
sometimes you learn things by watching those. There wasn't much
649
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:25.480
of the movie left no surprise. The Strickfield Slasher was
650
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:29.480
never stopped. The movie ended with him walking off into
651
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:34.960
the sunrise. From there, the credits rolled. Dillard and I
652
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:41.360
watched them carefully, and then I saw it right there, Dillard,
653
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:44.480
I yelled, pointing at it. When he paused the movie,
654
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:49.639
I pointed to the credit special film stock donated by E. Tinker.
655
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.280
I looked at Dillard. The man I bought the tape
656
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:58.960
from this morning introduced himself as Isley Tinker. You think
657
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:03.960
it's a coincidence, he sighed and looked back at me. Okay,
658
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.840
we'll have to go on that. We finished watching the
659
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:11.480
credits and saw that E. Tinker also had a producer credit.
660
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:17.119
Finally the tape reached the end. Then the VCR automatically
661
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:22.639
started rewinding. Dillard and I looked at each other. What
662
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:26.480
do we do now, hun, I asked, you're the film
663
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:31.519
student here, what do we do? What the holy shit?
664
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:36.079
Dillard shrieked. It happened just like that. Suddenly everything went
665
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:40.320
from color to black and white. We weren't watching the movie,
666
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:43.599
but you'd swear we were looking just as four k
667
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:47.760
as that VHS tape did. Before we could think about
668
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:50.559
what to do next, we turned to see Scott Meade
669
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.719
was standing right there, just outside the front door he
670
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:57.199
had crashed through earlier to let us know he was back.
671
00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:02.280
He raised his big cleaver and screamed like a madman
672
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:10.880
once again. When Scott Mead finished screaming, Dillard and I
673
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:14.519
didn't think about it and ran upstairs again. I saw
674
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.239
the split in the wall where Mead threw that cleaver
675
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:20.559
when he was chasing after me and Zoe earlier. We
676
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:25.320
made it upstairs and had to think, fast, shit, there's
677
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:29.920
nowhere for us to run. Brianna Dillard groaned. When we
678
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:33.239
heard Scott Mead screaming again, we knew it would only
679
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:38.000
be seconds before he'd be on us. Then I had
680
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:42.719
an idea. I want you to listen to me very carefully.
681
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:53.800
Then I explained my plan. When Scott Mead found me
682
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:57.320
in the bathroom, I was naked and glistening wet from
683
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:00.800
the water raining on me from the shower nozzle. Oh
684
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:03.719
believe me. I knew I was crazy, but Dillard and
685
00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:06.199
I were never going to make it back downstairs with
686
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.440
me blocking our way, which was why I was doing
687
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:13.440
the brainless bimbo thing from the movie itself and taking
688
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:17.239
a shower. Mead was looking me over as I turned
689
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.559
and presented myself again, I wasn't the sexiest girl in
690
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.079
our group, with being chunky and having a bubble butt.
691
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:27.719
At least I had the tits that came with having
692
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:31.159
my chunky frame. I also said I found it hard
693
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:34.639
to believe skinny Dillard wanted to date me just after
694
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:38.599
we met at the university. Hell, guys didn't even want
695
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.760
to date me back in high school. I only said
696
00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:44.920
I was sexy earlier because Dillard would tell me so.
697
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.880
He made me feel good about myself. Now. Scott Mead
698
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.719
was looking me over as I kept soaping myself up.
699
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:55.000
I was expecting him to do to me what he
700
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:58.920
did to that porn looking girl from the original movie.
701
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.639
I really didn't want to, but I wasn't going to
702
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:04.599
let this giant buffoon get my boyfriend if I could
703
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:09.480
help it. Well, what are you waiting for, I demanded,
704
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:14.199
I'm all wet and sexy, baby, I screamed when Mead
705
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:18.320
suddenly reached out and grabbed my throat. His hand was
706
00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:22.480
big enough to almost go completely around my neck. One
707
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:27.119
sudden movement of his wrist would snap my neck easily.
708
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:32.719
I closed my eyes and waited for everything to end.
709
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:37.239
Then Mead suddenly roared in pain. I opened my eyes
710
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.960
and saw the tip of the sword sticking out of
711
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:46.320
the Strickfield Slasher's chest. I looked past him and saw Dillard. No,
712
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:49.280
you were supposed to run, you were supposed to live,
713
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:54.039
I yelled. Our story ain't ending like that, Brianna. He
714
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.599
called back, I love you, and we're getting out of
715
00:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.719
this together. Now, come on. Dillard snatched my hand. When
716
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.960
Scott Mead fell to his knees, I moved past him
717
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:06.800
and came to my boyfriend. I grabbed my clothes off
718
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.880
the floor and quickly got dressed. Then Dillard and I
719
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.159
ran out of the bathroom and were soon leaving the house.
720
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.760
We realized we were the last two left out of
721
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.800
our Halloween party from earlier tonight. I hope you killed
722
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:25.719
that son of a bitch, I told him. Yeah, I
723
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.440
hope so too, Dillard replied in a tone that told
724
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:33.880
me he wasn't believing it either. We found the scooters
725
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:36.440
Zoe and I had used to come here and took
726
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:39.440
off on them. I was sure we both knew it
727
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:42.800
was only a matter of time before Scott Meade would
728
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:47.639
recover and find us again. We continued riding the scooters
729
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:51.519
until we made it back into Strickfield limits. We knew
730
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:53.920
we had to reach the police station and get help.
731
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:57.280
We parked the scooters outside the station and got off
732
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.280
to go in. As soon as we reached the double doors.
733
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:06.519
That was when tragedy struck. Scott Mead was suddenly right
734
00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:11.280
there with his big meat cleaver raised high. Also, we
735
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:15.039
should have realized things weren't over when we never stopped
736
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:20.559
hearing that horrible music all around us. When Mead screamed,
737
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:24.679
so did we. Then I screamed even louder when he
738
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:28.760
brought the cleaver down and sliced Dillard in half on
739
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:33.519
the spot. I screamed even more when both halves of
740
00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:38.119
Dillard Fuller each fell to a knee and then split
741
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:43.719
apart to fall onto their perspective sides. Then I fell
742
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.760
onto my knees as Scott Mead screamed his loudest yet
743
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:53.000
and raised his cleaver for what would be his final kill.
744
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:56.360
Dillard and I should have known we weren't going to
745
00:51:56.400 --> 00:52:00.840
get out of this horrible Halloween nightmare, especially when everything
746
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.800
was still in black and white. I probably could have
747
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:08.960
gotten up and ran, but what was the point. No
748
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:12.519
matter where I'd run, Scott Mead would be right there waiting.
749
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.840
He would always find me. I would never have any
750
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:23.400
peace whatsoever. Also, the Strickfield Slasher himself had just taken
751
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:26.559
the love of my life. I was on my knees
752
00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:31.039
and both trembling and crying at knowing I had just
753
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:36.559
lost Dillard, and that goddamned music was just horrible. Now
754
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:42.239
for the final time, Scott Mead raised the big butcher's cleaver.
755
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:47.920
Then everything started to go dark when the cleaver came
756
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:58.199
right down on me. Fast epilogue. Back in the real world,
757
00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:03.280
Isley Tinker stopped the VCR and pressed the rewind button.
758
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.840
When the video cassette was finished, he ejected it and
759
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:12.400
placed it back inside the clamshell case. From there, he
760
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:16.679
returned it to the display near the cash register. Once more,
761
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:23.079
the Strickfield Slasher was available to purchase. It wasn't long
762
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:27.519
before some new prospects had entered his establishment at Strickfield
763
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:31.639
Town Center Mall, more college kids from the university or
764
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:35.079
the high school coming in to look for Halloween items.
765
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:39.400
No doubt, like before, he would approach the students and
766
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.519
offer his assistance. He would bring them up to the
767
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.079
counter and show them what he was selling for Halloween.
768
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:52.599
Of course, someone would inquire about the Strickfield Slasher. Tinker
769
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:55.599
would tell the story the same as he did with
770
00:53:55.639 --> 00:54:00.239
all his previous customers. Of course, they just had had
771
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:05.480
to have that copy of that extremely rare movie filmed
772
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:10.639
around Strickfield. Tinker would sell it for twenty dollars, which
773
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:16.239
would guarantee both the sale and more profit for him.
774
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:19.000
From there, it would be only a matter of time
775
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:23.000
before one or more people would sit down to watch
776
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:29.760
The Strickfield Slasher, summoning the possessed title character himself. Tinker
777
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:34.079
had indeed been the one who supplied the special film
778
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:40.320
stock to Damian Carnivosh, earning him a producer credit. Just
779
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.039
as people had their Halloween traditions, so did Issley Tinker.
780
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:51.119
His was, of course, the Strickfield Slasher, in which the
781
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.639
movie was both cursed and possessed by one of the
782
00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:59.679
restless spirits of grim manner. As long as the spirit
783
00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:03.840
was kept satisfied, it would continue its existence within the
784
00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:09.599
black and white, fictional yet realistic world of Strickfield itself.
785
00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:14.119
Tinker himself knew it would only be a matter of
786
00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:17.400
time before the video cassette would find its way back
787
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:21.719
to him, so that the vicious cycle could begin again.
788
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:26.280
He would continue to make money on selling it, and
789
00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:30.800
the spirit contained within the medium would get more victims.
790
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:35.239
Tinker sighed after his latest customer had just left with
791
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:48.920
the Strickfield Slasher. Ah, yes, I do so love Halloween. Well,
792
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:52.760
my Spookyes, I hope you enjoyed that first trip to
793
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.559

And remember we don't just celebrate Halloween around here. Every
823
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:40.159
holiday gets a spooky treatment, but especially Christmas. So we're
824
00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:43.840
just getting started. So for myself, for my producer Dan Wilder,
825
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:48.159

826
00:57:48.199 --> 00:57:51.320
as well as my composer Ray Mattis, I will talk
827
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.360
at you tomorrow.
828
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:57.119
Thank you for listening. Make sure to find your way
829
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:03.760
back next week. But for now you are safe. Trust
