Amityville: The Awakening Page #2

my basic human decency for perviness.

You really didn't know?

(SIGHS) No idea.

BOY :
Man, I can't believe

no one told you about that.

Sick sh*t, right?

Voices told him to do it.

Took out the whole family, six people.

Wait, whoa, where you going?

I already missed the last three periods,

and I don't really want to transfer again.

Hey, wait.

You ever see this?

You recognize that house?

We need to talk.

Good to see you, honey. How was school?

Why didn't you tell me about the house?

I've just been waiting for the right time.

And when would that be?

You know, it's just a ghost story, sweetie.

- It's an urban legend.

- Yeah,

that everyone at my school

seems to know about.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I should've told you.

I just, I really have had a lot on my mind.

Well, it would be nice if Juliet

and I could be on your mind, too.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

That's the, that's the doctor.

Good talk.

JOAN (VOICE-OVER):

But it's an improvement, right?

I mean, it has to be.

I know it may seem that way,

but remember, the last time we checked,

there was no brain activity at all.

But he opened his eyes.

I mean, who's to say

that he won't start speaking

or even sitting up or something?

Joan, you know there are no documented cases

of anyone with James's injuries

ever recovering.

Then James will be the first.

Is there any way to be sure

if there is any recovery?

It's highly unlikely.

But I suppose we could do another fMRI.

BELLE :
Great.

How much more sh*t do you want

to put him through?

Just leave him alone.

Hasn't he suffered enough?

JOAN (WHISPERING): I'm sorry about that.

JULIET :

Yesterday me and Deedee went to the park.

Last night it was broccoli and carrots.

- (JULIET MAKES CHEWING NOISES)

- (DOOR CREAKING)

And Deedee likes to chase

the ducks at the park.

And at dinnertime...

Are you talking to James again?

Yep.

(SIGHS)

What does James have to say this time?

He says he misses talking to you, too.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Jules, your mom's gonna walk Larry.

- You want to go with her?

- Okay.

Come here.

One, two, three.

Ooh, yeah.

(SIGHS):
Oh, good.

Uh, Belle.

You know I don't want any more tests, either.

Then why did you suggest it?

Because this test is gonna show your mom

what you and I already know.

Did you know about the house?

Please, just go.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(THUNDER CONTINUES)

(THUNDER CONTINUES)

(THUNDER CONTINUES)

- (THUNDER CONTINUES)

- (CLOCK TICKING)

(SLEEPILY):

Juliet, you can't keep doing this.

Scoot over.

(GASPS)

(PANTING)

(GASPS)

Happy Monday.

Belle, this is Marissa.

She's my girlfriend.

You wish.

M, uh, this is my friend Belle.

- You wish.

- Wow.

All kinds of love for Terrence today.

See how it is? (GRUNTS)

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

See you later, man.

Those guys.

So, yeah, Marissa didn't believe me

when I said I knew you,

so I thought you guys should, uh, meet.

What's up?

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

MARISSA :
God, I would kill my mom if she did

something like that without telling me.

Yeah, well, talking's not

really big in my house, so...

Yeah, well, thank God

none of this Amityville sh*t is real.

Whoa, whoa. That all depends

on your definition of real.

You know, if someone's talking

a lot about something,

your mind starts playing tricks on you

to make you think it's real.

(CHUCKLING):
According to who?

Science.

Well, I'm really over

this Amityville stuff, anyway.

My family's got enough demons to deal with.

I don't need fictional ones, too.

I don't know, maybe that's

exactly what you need.

Hey, we should watch the movie.

No, thanks.

Come on, that, that's what horror movies

are all about, like, escaping reality

with your friends for a little while.

It's fun.

Okay, fine. Let's watch it at your house.

No. Your house.

Come on. How often do you get to watch

"The Amityville Horror"

at the actual Amityville house?

(CHUCKLES) Okay, sure.

Awesome. Okay.

We have to watch it at 3:15 a.m., though.

Why?

'Cause that's when Ronnie DeFeo

murdered his family.

And that's when the house comes alive.

(MUMBLES SLEEPILY)

(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

(BARKING, GROWLING)

Ah, sh*t. Larry.

(SIGHS)

(LARRY GROWLING)

What?

- (GROWLING CONTINUES)

- What?

Come on, you see something?

- (GROWLING STOPS)

- What do you see?

What do you see?

- (YELLS INDISTINCTLY)

- (GASPS)

(LARRY GROWLING)

(CHUCKLES)

- Oh, that was great.

- (LARRY GROWLING)

- Go, Larry.

- Oh, man.

Look, I told him not to do that.

Oh, you should've seen your face.

You guys seriously have to be quiet.

- You don't want to wake up my mom.

- Sorry.

(WHISPERING):

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Wow, this place is amazing.

Is that a bounding circle in the backyard?

A... bounding circle?

Yeah, like, hundreds of years ago,

like, colonial times,

there used to be all this weird

occult sh*t going on around here,

so if they thought an area was evil,

they would do a ring around it

with like, salt or fire,

whatever, to try and keep the evil contained.

Yeah, or maybe the gardener just got

a little carried away with the weed killer.

All right, so, I thought

we were here to watch a movie.

Yes.

Hell, I've seen the movie

a dozen times, but...

Shut up.

(WHISPERING):
...I've never

been inside the actual house.

Okay, I'm going to punch you

in the actual mouth if you don't shut up.

Oh, yeah?

Is that a threat or a promise?

Gross.

(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

What's in there?

Nothing. Let's go.

Okay, so you've got the original

1979 film starring James...

Shh!

(QUIETLY):

Starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder.

Um, but just in case,

I brought the "Amityville 2,"

which is technically a prequel.

So I don't know if you like that...

Anyway. Um, then, of course,

there's the remake.

- No way.

- No.

Yeah, remakes totally blow.

Agreed. All right.

The original it is.

So how'd you girls like to be

the bread in a Terrence sandwich?

In your dreams.

NARRATOR (OVER TV):

This house is built on special ground.

Satan worship.

Demons.

You cannot destroy this evil.

It will always find a place to dwell,

something or someone to latch onto.

What's going on?

Have you all gone mad?

George!

- (DOOR CREAKING)

- They...

come and go through here.

(CREAKING CONTINUES)

DEMONIC VOICE :
Find the well.

It's...

the passage

to Hell!

(TV STOPS)

(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)

What?

(BEEPING STEADILY)

TERRENCE :
Holy sh*t.

It's 3:
15 on the dot.

No, it's not.

I swear. Look.

- What did you do?

- Uh... What?

- Nothing.

- I really hope not.

- I gotta get the lights back on.

- Well...

I mean, it's probably just a fuse.

Right?

No, we need to fix it or else

I'm gonna have to wake up my mom.

Mmm, okay, then where's the fuse box?

(BEEPING, BLIPPING)

I think it's under the stairs.

(SIGHS)

Oh, great, the basement

of the Amityville house.

That's perfect.

I haven't been down there yet.

Hold on.

I got this.

Who wants to go first?

MARISSA :
Oh, God, what's that smell?
