Hold Your Breath Page #2

Synopsis: There is an old wives' tale that you should hold your breath when passing by a cemetery lest an evil spirit rejected by both heaven and hell gets inside of you when you inhale. Someone in a carload of college kids on holiday doesn't hold his/her breath when driving by a graveyard, allowing the spirit of a recently executed serial killer to get inside him/her to begin a spree of body-jumping carnage.

When a really

evil person dies

And they're so evil

that hell can't even take them,

They're forced to roam

around the cemetery

That they're buried in,

trying to find souls to possess.

I heard of this.

So when you drive

past a cemetery,

You have

to hold your breath

Or else

they can possess you.

Just everyone-Just do it!

Where did you hear this?

Dude, it's been

around forever.

- Never heard of it.

- Me, neither.

Yeah, it

doesn't surprise me.

Come on, you guys,

this is serious.

Just hold

your breath, please?

Really, guys,

come on, please!

Hold your breath!

- [ Coughs ]

- Whoa!

[ Screams and shouts ]

Heath:
Whoa!

Blech!

Kyle, maybe you should

lay off that sh*t, huh?

I could have killed us!

Are you listening to me?

Yeah, I know.

Is everybody okay?

Dude, get me

out of this thing.

I need to take a piss.

Well, looks like

we're off to a great start

To our first

annual camping trip.

Kyle:
Ahh!

Whoa!

Johnny:
Whoa,

you all right?

I'm fine.

Hey, guys,

come check this out!

Samantha:
What is it?

I don't know,

but it's freaky-Looking.

Looks like a prison

or something, doesn't it?

Judging by the fact

that we are indeed

In the middle

of nowhere.

And with a fence built

around the perimeter

And what looks

like a guard tower,

I'd say, yeah, dude,

it definitely appears

To be a correctional

facility of some kind.

Got it.

Think it's abandoned?

Yeah, look at it.

Awesome, we found

an abandoned prison.

Let's go.

It's cool.

Hey, tony.

Back in a few.

Dude,

where you going?

What? Are you guys

kidding me?

We have to be

At the campsite

before dark.

Johnny! Natasha!

- What are they doing?

- They're gonna bang.

Oh, this is bullshit!

I'm gonna go get 'em.

All right,

I'm coming with you.

Come on, seriously?

He's gonna be done

in a minute anyways.

Jerry?

Should we go?

What do you think, man?

No, y'all go on,

but stay together.

I'll see you real soon.

All right.

Let's go.

[ Crows cawing ]

[ Laughs ] this looks like

it was some crazy asylum.

[ Bars rattle ]

Yeah, I don't know

about this.

Maybe we should go back.

It'll be all right.

Have you seen

Johnny and Natasha?

No, we haven't found

a way in yet.

I wonder

how old this place is.

Based on the architecture

and building materials used,

I'd say early 1900s.

But, uh, yeah,

It clearly hasn't been

used for a while.

Tony:

You think, Sherlock?

Jerry:
There's got to be

another way in.

I vote we leave.

Go back then.

I'm gonna go for it.

Ditto.

Come on.

Everything

all right, son?

I don't know. We were

just driving down the road

And the engine

just died.

All right, pop the hood,

let me take a look.

How long

you been out here?

Oh, not too long.

I don't see anything

wrong under here.

Were those your friends

I saw walking down the road?

Sir, I asked you

a question.

Oh!

This is how

those little freaks got in.

Jerry's finally home.

[ Helmet clanking ]

Nice kitchen.

Hey, heath, how about you

whip me up some pancakes?

I'm good, man.

I only eat waffles,

so that would be stupid.

Let's go this way.

Where do you think

they are?

Wherever there's a bed.

I think the only bed they're gonna

find in here is made of stone.

Let's go this way.

Guess that's why they

shut down the place.

Which way

do you think they went?

Knowing them

with their perversity,

They probably went

to the dance hall.

Try to relive

their prom night.

The dance hall might be

more interesting, actually.

Yeah? Why is that?

It's slang

for execution chamber.

How do

you know that?

Watch a lot of shows

on prison.

This is where they could stick

the barrel of their guns out

To shoot

in case of an uprising.

Oh, creepy.

Oh! [ Laughs ]

I hate rats!

You're too big

for it to eat.

It could still bite me.

Oh, my god.

Ladies first.

[ Sighs ]

I have to take a leak.

Right now?

Yeah.

What a weirdo.

Well?

I don't know.

What do you think?

Oh, come on,

tough guy.

Sure you're not

the one who's afraid?

I ain't afraid

of nothin'.

Samantha:

Jerry? Hurry up!

[ Crackling ]

[ Gas sloshing ]

I got something

for you.

Wake up.

Wake the f*** up.

[ Jingling ]

You want the keys?

What the hell's

wrong with you?

What are you doing?

F***ing freak!

I'll hold onto them.

[ Groans ]

F***ing animal!

What are you doing?

No! No! Don't!

Come on!

You freaking freak!

[ Engine starts ]

- [ Current buzzing ]

- [ Screaming ]

No, turn that

thing off!

I'm gonna kill you!

[ Screams ]

[ Neck cracks ]

[ Crows cawing ]

This place is creepy.

Aah!

That's not funny.

[ Laughs ] I'm sorry.

[ Somber rock music

playing under scene ]

Wow.

This must have been

for the real crazies.

Looks like it, huh?

# There was a smoke

# That came at night

Want to go

in there?

- # In the garden of my dreams

- Could be fun, right?

Yep.

# Black water rushing

in our face #

# Craving

this deep obsession #

# Cover me

with sweet possession #

# Are we breathing

fire and brimstone? #

# Have the angels

left us on our own? #

# If a soul can survive

even death #

# Hold your breath

# In the mirror,

we can't see anything #

# Drowning

in soft illusion #

# With every breath

# The stakes

have come to this #

# I can see the demon

in disguise #

# I can see a killer

in these eyes #

# Are we breathing

fire and brimstone? #

# Have the angels

left us on our own? #

# If a soul can survive

even death #

# Hold your breath

# Are we breathing

fire and brimstone? #

# Have the angels

left us on our own? #

# If a soul can survive

even death #

# Hold your breath

[ Song ends ]

Hey.

Jerry, finally!

Tony:
Jeez.

Thought you were alone.

What's going on?

Jerry:
Are you gonna

open it for us?

[ Door thuds ]

Wow, this is so cool.

I can't believe they used

to kill people like this.

Well, Florida

and some other states

Still use it as a secondary

means of execution.

Seriously?

Yep.

I couldn't even imagine

being electrocuted.

See, they sit

the guy right there,

Put this right over

his head just like so.

Then they have all these

people sitting right over there,

Watching him,

and then...

[ shakes chair ]

They'd zap his ass.

Sit in it.

What?

Sit in it.

Hell, no, I'm not

sitting in that thing.

You scared?

Okay, you sit in it.

I'm a girl.

What the hell does that

have to do with anything?

What happened to you?

You used to be

such a bad ass.

I still am.

No, not really.

You've changed

since school.

No, I haven't.

I don't know.

Okay, what do I get

if I do it?

Why? You never had

to be bribed

To do something before.

Well, as you said,

I've changed.

What do you want?

Blow me.

[ Laughs ]

Maybe.

Well, I ain't sitting

in this chair for nothing.

All right, then.

Guess you're not gonna

get that blow job.

Yes, but then again,

you said maybe.

Well, there's only one way

to find out, isn't there?

Hmm.

You remember how good

I give them?

Fine.

I'll sit

in the damn chair,

But...

You got to keep up
