here is trying to say is

this town is filled with

such a rich history.

We couldn't help but be drawn

to experience it first-hand,

There's no place we'd rather be.

- History?

I'm not aware of much of

anything goin' on around here

to be makin' any

kind of history.

- Serial killers.

The history of serial killers.

Apparently you guys in

this town are trying to

corner the market.

- [Driver] I don't know what

you all heard about this town,

but that kinda stuff,

killin' and all,

that happens everywhere,

not just here.

You're talkin' about

Butcher Bill and the likes

of him I reckon.

Well, he's done long gone

down in the penitentiary,

rottin' away.

We all good people up here now.

Besides, it wasn't

always Bills fault.

Sometimes them whores

be comin' in from the city,

be comin' up, stirring

up all sorts of trouble.

Trouble that makes it

hard to stay out of.

- Hey f***-face, what're

you f***in' lookin' at?

(engine blows)

- Oh sh*t!

(car screeches)

- Pop the trunk.

Today, pop the trunk.

Kevin, how far is

it to the house?

- It's about another

two miles straight down

the road it looks like.

- I said to pop the trunk!

Today!

I don't know about you

guys, but we walk from here.

- No charge, 'till next time.

Be safe.

(deep, dark, eerie rumbling)

- What a whack job.

I mean seriously,

if this trip is gonna be

nothin' ut hanging out

with crazies like these,

I am takin' the next train

back to the city pronto.

- He was harmless.

I mean, can you blame him?

You do have really nice legs,

and your dress is really short,

and your b*obs are really nice,

and they are

practically hanging out.

- Oooh!

- Don't worry, the women

are in charge this weekend,

and besides, aren't

you guys excited to see

some of the actual sites

of some of the greatest

murders of all time?

- Okay,

you need help, the

both of you, all right?

Oh, and by the way,

try to catch up.

It's getting dark.

(creepy music)

Whoa,

this place is creepy!

- Yeah, sure is.

Isn't it awesome?

(Ella laughs)

- [Tiffani] You think it's open?

- Here, come this way.

They said there's a key

in the front somewhere.

(creepy, dark music)

- Well, here we are

in front of the house.

- Oh, real secure, leave

the key right in the corner.

- It's the country, what

could possibly happen up here?

- [Ella & Tiffani]

(laughs) Butcher Bill.

- Whooo.

Oh you magician, you.

Now for your next trick,

you think you could find out

which door we go through?

- Give me that.

Only one way to find out.

(slow, dark, eerie music)

Voila.

- Thank you.

Okay, so they said the

whole upstairs is ours.

As for the rest of

the house, off limits.

Lemme go first.

- [Ella] If must be

safe, he's going first.

Giant wuss.

(screams frighteningly)

(girls gasp)

- [Kevin] Just kidding.

- You jackass.

- [Tiffani] I

almost peed myself.

- Not bad, not bad.

I could do this for

a couple of days.

Sure beats garbage

day in the city.

- Okay, this is my room.

- Me too.

Uh-oh, it looks like the

sofa for you Mobidra.

- That's fine by me.

Share a bed with

perv-tastic, no thanks.

And he probably snores.

- No doubt.

(both laugh)

- Um, hello, I can hear you.

I'm standing right here.

- Don't even worry about it,

he's not gonna get

under the covers.

And if it's a problem,

there's always the wooden

floor for you darling.

(laughs)

Come on, let's go

get our drink on.

Woohoo!

All right, who's in?

- Me.

- Me.

- Nice.

For you.

All right.

(cans pop open)

- To friends.

- To murderers.

- To some hot country

boy up in this b*tch!

(strumming guitar)

Whoooo!

- [Tiffani] Wow.

- Thank you, thank you.

- I didn't know you

were a rock star.

15 more of these,

and I just might make

out with you tonight.

- [Ella & Tiffani]

Not! (Both laugh)

- Like I'd get with

either of you anyways.

I do have standards you know.

- Oh really?

It's not what I heard.

That's not what Sandy said

when she dumped your ass

for filling up a

waitress in Charlie's.

Beer me.

- That's not what happened.

That's what she told you?

- What did happen?

- Forget it.

- We are officially out.

No more beer,

I guess that means it's

time to hit the hay.

- Oh hell no, we

ain't doin' that.

- What do you mean?

We have a long day

scheduled tomorrow,

we have a lot of

sight-seeing to do.

We need all the rest we can get.

- Yeah I'm actually a

little tired myself.

- Okay.

You all have voiced

your concerns,

and I hear you loud and clear.

But unfortunately,

you're going to have to kill me

if either one of you two

wanna get any sleep tonight.

So, let's take a vote on it.

All in favor for

going to bed tonight

raise your hand.

All in favor for not

going to bed tonight

raise your hand.

Ah, well,

I guess that settles it.

Get your I.D., get your wallets,

we are gonna find a bar up

in this country ass town

and we gonna find

some drinks and stuff.

Kevin, get your phone darling.

You're navigating.

- Can I just say,

I'm having a really great

time with you guys so far.

(laughs)

(deep, eerie music)

(upbeat rock music)

- This will have to do.

- You're buying the first round.

- Somebody please shoot me now.

- Well hello stud,

my name is Ella.

- Howdy Ella, name's Steve.

Did you three stumble into

these parts accidentally or,

plane crash? Land

in a corn field?

- Ooh, you do have a

wild imagination Steve.

I like that in a guy, it's sexy.

However, we just

happen to be in town

and decided to come in.

Really, it's my

friend Tiffani's idea.

- Tiffani, much obliged.

- F*** it was,

I'd be dead right now.

- I don't know if I can

mix that drink up but uh,

what would y'all like?

- Beer me.

- Make that three,

and two shots of tequila,

one for me, and one for you.

- I, I like your style, I think.

- Cheers guys.

Cheers.

You know what that was to?

- What's that?

- The luckiest

bartender in the world.

- [Steve] Why's that?

- You'll find out.

- Howdy beautiful.

Can I buy you some bourbon?

Real smooth stuff.

It'll keep you warm.

From the inside, real warm.

- F*** off.

- B*tch.

- So hey, I just saw

your moves there,

they were pretty funny there.

I liked it.

- Oh yeah? You like that?

- Yeah I did.

- You wanna see some more?

I got more. (Gina chuckles)

(Gina laughs)

- Really?

- Yeah.

That's how I do it,

Kevin, by the way.

- You don't look like

you're from here.

- I'm from the city actually.

I live in Brooklyn currently.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

- I'm from here. (Laughs)

- Oh are you?

- Yeah.

- So you just like

to come here and

scout guys with nice

dance moves like myself?

Where are your moves

at, show me somethin'.

- Well well well, it

looks like Kevin's

nabbed himself an admirer,

and she's not half bad either.

- Oh that's Gina.

She's a regular,

and she likes to f***.

(laughing)

- Well, that makes

the two of us.

Way to go bro.

(laughs)

When do you get off?

Well, that was fun.

Well I guess we have to go now,
