Hold Your Breath Page #4

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.

What about Kyle?

Kyle?

Aah! Aah!

Get away from me! Sh*t.

It's just me, dude.

Calm down.

Oh, my god, dude,

I was having a nightmare.

There were cops,

And you and me were

fighting about something.

Think you need to lay off

that weed, brother.

Come on.

Listen, tony lost a bag

on the drive over.

Him and Sam

looked for it.

It's been

a couple of hours.

We're gonna go find them.

Do you want to come?

Yeah, I'll come.

You sure?

Yeah, okay.

Aah! Aah!

[ Current crackling ]

Aah!

[ Panting ]

[ Whimpering ]

Aah!

[ Neck cracks ]

Look, it's

the cemetery gate.

Wait, wasn't it

closed before?

Yeah.

Wait, guys, don't we

have to hold our breath?

No, that's only

when you're driving by.

It doesn't matter

when you're walking.

Come on.

Check this out.

It's definitely from a large

truck or some kind of SUV.

- Hey, Johnny?

- What?

Come take

a look at this.

What is it?

Aw, sh*t.

Jerry:
What?

Is that blood?

That's what it

looks like.

Come take a look

at this, man.

- F***!

- What is it?

Whose blood?

Huh.

What, babe?

Blood would indicate

that there was an accident

But if a vehicle lost control

and crashed through a gate,

Why is there blood here?

Oh, my god.

We need

to go find Sam.

Whoa! How do you know this

has anything to do with Sam?

They're probably

back at the campsite.

We should go back!

Because those tracks look just

like the ones from our car!

So?

It just-It doesn't

feel right, okay?

Sam would be back

by now.

She would

never do this, okay?

Just help me, please!

Come on!

[ Battery crackling ]

Natasha:
Jerry, we have

no idea where we're going.

What if we get lost?

[ Horn honking ]

Jerry:

Did you hear that?

Johnny:
Yeah, we all

heard it. Just slow down.

It's over here, guys.

What?

Kyle:
Oh, sh*t!

- Sam! Sam!

- No, jerry! Jerry!

Jerry:
No!

Hold her!

It's all right!

No!

Don't look!

Don't look!

[ Jerry crying ]

Oh, my god, Sam!

Don't look!

Don't look!

- Please!

- Don't look!

Sam!

[ Jerry sobbing ]

[ Sobbing ]

The phones

are gone, man.

My god. My god.

[ Sobbing ]

A sacrifice

for all you sinners.

Johnny:
Tony! What

the f*** are you doing?

Tony, what happened?

Jerry:

What did you do to her?

What did you do to her?

Knock it off, dude!

What happened to Sam?

What's wrong with you?

Tony, talk to me.

[ Laughing ]

Are you kidding me?

It's not funny, man!

[ Gunshot ]

- Oh!

- [ All screaming ]

Oh, f***!

Oh, sh*t!

[ Crying ]

What the hell you doing?

It's a friend of ours!

You call that a friend?

He was ready to rip you a

new a**hole with a pitchfork.

Now, I got a 12-Gauge,

you got a knife.

You might want to

put away that knife.

You take another step

closer to me,

You'd rather jack off

a bobcat.

Now, I'm asking you

again nicely.

Put away the knife,

f***ing please!

What about her by the tree?

Did you kill her, too?

I don't know your friend.

I've never

seen her before.

I hear a horn honking,

He's ready to just impale

you with a pitchfork.

Well, that's

convenient, huh?

You just happen

to be here?

I might need to ask you

the same thing.

But I'm gonna tell you

something right now.

We got to

get out of here.

What the f***

are you talking about?

I'll explain later.

There's not much time.

Now, we have got to go.

Well, we can't

just leave them here.

The hell we can't.

There's some things

going on out here tonight, man,

That you

do not understand.

Oh, you do?

Yes, I do.

[ Crying ]

Please, we have

to help her, please!

No, no, stop!

We can't help her now!

Heath:
She's gone, jerry.

She's gone.

We need to save her,

please!

No,

it's too late!

She's gone, jerry!

She's gone!

It's too late!

Calm down!

Please, calm down!

Okay, cut the bullshit.

I'm going, you're dying.

All right,

wait, wait, wait.

We're coming.

We have to get help

for our friends.

Your friends are dead.

I know, I know, but we got

to call the cops or something!

Do you have a car?

No.

Okay, you have

a phone, right?

You have

a f***ing phone?

Hello? Are you deaf?

We need to get help.

Are you paying somebody

to help you misunderstand me?

I am your help!

Now let's get the hell

out of here!

Come on.

Wait up!

All right,

y'all come on in here

And y'all sit down.

Who wants some coffee?

Hey, could we

get some answers?

- Is that a phone?

- Yes.

[ Dialing ]

Everything's

gonna be okay.

[ Clicking button

on cradle ]

Anything?

No.

F***.

[ Cups clatter ]

There you go. Pour your own damn coffee.

That phone don't work,

Ain't worked

in about three weeks.

Had a storm

come through here.

Stupid phone company

ain't had the balls

To come out

and fix that thing.

I thought

I told you to sit down.

You, uh, always have

a fresh pot of coffee

Brewing at this hour?

Yes, I do 'cause

I can't sleep at night.

You want to know why?

'Cause I worked

the graveyard shift

Over at that goodchild asylum

across the way.

You heard of it?

Yeah, we drove

by it earlier.

Look, we need to get

a hold of the police.

Police can't do sh*t.

Can't do nothing

till the morning.

We're wasting

our f***ing time.

We're out of here.

Sit the f*** down!

Y'all are

gonna die tonight...

Unless you do

what I say.

You're gonna end up

like your two friends out there.

That kind of sucks,

don't it?

Listen to me.

My name is McBride,

And I was a guard

at that goodchild asylum.

We had the worst,

decrepit, nasty persons

You could ever imagine.

And many years ago,

we executed

One of the worst

of them all.

His name

was Dietrich van Klaus.

Never heard of him.

Yeah, no sh*t,

'cause after we executed him,

There was a fire

that roared through there.

Destroyed everything-

Records, archives,

But that son of a b*tch

was the worst one.

[ Thunder ]

Aah!

You'd rather chew glass

and beat off with sandpaper

Than sit in the same room

as that son of a b*tch.

Would you get

to the point already?

Shut the f*** up.

Now, what happens is,

Every year on his anniversary

of his execution,

His spirit runs free.

That's what's

going on right now.

That's what happened to that

boy out there that I had to kill,

And he's the one

that killed your little girl.

Man,

this is ridiculous.

No, dude,

tony was acting crazy.

He's chasing us

with a pitchfork?

He tried to kill you.

He did, man.

Keep going.

People wanted an end

to van Klaus' terror.

They wanted it to be over,

And they wanted to move on

with their lives,

But that son of a b*tch

killed one more time.

And when he did,

what he did to warden Wilkes

Is forever burned

in my memory.

And I knew something evil

had a grip on van Klaus,

And this wasn't the end.

It was far from it.

So what happens is,

Every year on his anniversary

of the execution,

He runs free,

And he's got a window.

And that window ends

tonight at midnight.
