Boogeyman 3 Page #4

The humiliation? There is no way

I'm going through that sh*t again.

Some guy was supposed to do it,

but he never came back.

Probably got caught, f***ing idiot.

I will give you 50 bucks

to do it for me.

- I hope you're kidding.

- No. You can walk into the bathroom.

I have to crawl

through the f***ing heating ducts.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Me either.

That's why you should do it for me.

- No, Ben, I'm serious. I saw...

- What?

I saw blood

coming out of those vents.

Blood.

Oh, man.

Is this about the Boogeyman?

Because that's what everyone

in the cafeteria was talking about.

See? That's what I'm talking about.

- Everyone's talking about it because...

- Because it's f***ing creepy.

No, it's completely irrational.

- I'm just trying to help you, Sarah.

- I appreciate your help.

Where are you going?

Haven't you heard? I'm going cray.

I feel really shitty.

The patients are beginning to speak

of a presence in the clinic.

Something they can feel.

Something I can feel.

Something I don't dare admit

I've felt before.

While I continue to explain away

the Boogeyman's existence...

...as nothing but the darkness

within ourselves...

...I'm left to wonder:

Does that make him

anything less than real?

Come on, man, let's find those girls.

You missed

your Behavioral Genetics final.

Dr. Kane, I'm sorry.

I had something important

I had to take care of.

More important

than passing my class?

"Sociology of Modern Oral Legends. "

Thinking about

changing your major?

I found this article

in Dr. Allen's journal.

He was trying to find a way

to stop the Boogeyman.

We've talked about this.

The Boogeyman is not real.

He is a legend.

According to this article...

...a legend lives or dies

based on its social relevancy.

A legend is a fictional story, Sarah.

Not a living, breathing entity.

You do realie that?

Sarah, indulge me.

Why do we create legends,

from a psychological point of view?

We create legends as parables.

Stories to help us understand

the world we live in.

All right.

Okay.

This is the most fun I've had

in years.

So, what does that say

about the Boogeyman?

It says we're trying to define evil

by giving it a face and a name.

Yes. And as long as there is evil

in this world...

...the Boogeyman remains

socially relevant.

- That's all it's saying.

- No.

It's saying

that the legend survives...

...because the person

retelling the story believes it.

But you're taking that

completely out of context.

Don't you see?

The Hillridge Clinic murders...

...they make the legend real.

It's as if the legend

has a life of its own.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, hello, baby.

Oh, what do you want?

Yeah, that's right.

Let me introduce you...

...to my one-eyed friend.

Did you hear anything?

Up there.

You guys, you guys, this is creepy.

What was that? What was that?

There was an incident last year.

A man named Tim Jensen...

...blamed his murders

on the Boogeyman.

- What does that have to do with this?

- Both stories are different variations...

...of the same legend.

Usually, when a person

retells the legend...

...they change it to fit society's needs.

But in this case...

Wait, wait, wait.

Listen to what you're saying.

- A legend cannot modify itself.

- This one can.

To some people,

the Boogeyman is Tim Jensen.

To other people, it's Henry Porter.

But it's the original legend

that gains its strength...

...every time it's reborn.

So you missed my final...

...because you were trying to stop

a legend from perpetuating itself.

You understand

why that worries me?

I'm running out of time.

Wait a minute, Sarah.

Sarah?

What the...?

Blood.

Oh, f***.

What are you saying?

Every time someone buys this crap...

...the Boogeyman gets stronger?

- It keeps the legend alive.

It keeps him alive.

David, it's about to happen here.

In this dorm.

The legend is about to be reborn.

- What did I miss?

- Did you talk to Jeremy or Lukas?

No. And I've looked everywhere.

- See? It's happening.

- Well, Jeremy did have finals all day.

They probably went out

to celebrate after.

Without calling you?

I'm not saying

he won't be punished.

I just... I don't think he was killed

by some mythological creature.

Come on, Lindsay.

What was the longest Jeremy's

ever gone without calling you?

An hour?

Sarah...

...you're my best friend

and I love you...

...but if you honestly think...

...that everyone in our dorm

is gonna die...

...why aren't you leaving?

Because I can't do that.

I can't just walk away

and let everyone...

- I have to get them out of here.

- Sarah, this is ridiculous.

You're not going to convince an

entire dorm full of people to just leave.

This is DJ Def Jeff...

...and you're listening

to WZXB radio.

I'll be with you all night long...

...keeping the energy alive...

...so all those can stay awake.

Listen to this.

What the hell...?

Hi. You're not even supposed

to be here tonight.

What are you doing?

Attention.

All students living

in Hammonds Hall...

...this is Sarah Morris

with an emergency announcement.

Sh*t.

Campus security has issued

an emergency request...

...for all students to evacuate...

...Hammonds Hall immediately.

Take your belongings

and stay with a friend.

Anyone not in Hammonds Hall.

I repeat. This is an emergency

announcement...

...for students of Hammonds Hall

to evacuate immediately.

Take your belongings with you.

Several students

are already missing.

- It's dangerous for anyone to remain...

- You're listening to WZXB Radio.

Up next, DJ Def Jeff

and the smooth grooves.

- What the hell are you doing?

- I'm calling campus security.

They haven't made

any announcement.

Sarah Morris?

- Are you Sarah Morris?

- Yes, but listen to me.

- I can explain.

- I'm sure.

Please. There is a journal in my room,

that will... David.

- Hey, back off.

- Just tell me where you're taking her.

Go back to your dorm,

she'll call you when she's done.

- Don't go back to the dorm. Promise.

- Get in the car.

Back off.

Please, David. David, don't go back.

David.

Hey, David. Is Sarah with you?

No, they took her

to the security office.

Security office? Why?

- Long story.

- Is she okay?

Yeah, but they won't let me

see her.

Did you hear from Jeremy?

No, I still haven't heard

from Jeremy or Lukas.

- I'm starting to wonder if...

- What?

Maybe Sarah was right.

Yeah, I'm packing up my stuff

and getting out of here.

- Try not to worry.

- Okay. Well, just keep me posted.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Help!

Somebody help me!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Oh, come on.

Is this totally necessary?

I mean, it's a little bit extreme keeping

her locked in a cell on her own.

She's claiming everyone in her dorm

is going to die.

Dr. Kane.

All right.

- What are you doing here?

- Sarah.

You have half the student body

in a total panic for nothing.

My friends are dead.

I saw them.

There was blood all over the hallway.

- And then...

- Sarah.
