No sh*t.

Uh, what's your name?

Merry Cat Logan.

I'm Jonathan, nice to meet you.

Mm, uh uh,

Pa upset now do we huh?

Merry Cat we don't wanna

get Pa upset now, do we.

Wait.

I'm sorry Merry Cat okay.

How the hell does

anybody walk around here?

Wait a minute.

Merry Cat?

Merry Cat!

Merry Cat!

Hey Merry Cat I.

Hey where you going?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Here watch.

Just like walking on a garden hose.

Or like a clothes line,

you got clothes lines up here don't you?

Here watch.

Just put one foot over the other one.

Like this.

Come on.

Just don't shake the rope okay?

Hi, how you doing?

You live around this place?

Jesus.

Oh.

Oh 0h!

Ah, ah!

No.

Oh no.

All right I found my caramel cream.

Well it doesn't match my

nails but it'll have to do.

Oh darling that Cadillac

Red is simply you.

Ssh.

Did you hear that?

It sounded like a whistle.

Oh it's probably Jonathan.

You know I should go look for him,

or he'll probably be

chasing raccoons all day.

Listen I'm gonna go take a few pictures.

If I run into him I'll

tell him to come back here.

Oh!

- Danny.

The back door was open, did I scare you?

No, I knew it was you all along.

This place is creepy.

Yeah.

Have you seen Jonathan?

- You mean he didn't come

back carrying a raccoon

with false eyelashes?

He's probably out practicing another one

of his scare maneuvers.

Probably.

You know this place smells funny.

It's not funny.

Let's go outside, I wanna

show you the graveyard.

Got it!

And here I go.

Dinner for five.

Oh Warren look it's swollen with eggs.

Next course, caviar.

- Oh I think

you ought to let her go.

After all that.

Mm.

Ah.

What's got into you?

I don't know.

- Jesus, oh God.

- Oh my God.

L got yah.

Jonathan.

Come on.

He was murdered wasn't he.

You don't know that.

It was the whistle.

He was calling for help.

You don't know that.

He probably.

Probably fell off the rope bridge.

Hey.

Connie, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, hey.

Wait 'til I put some lipstick on.

Okay.

Come on already.

Wait let's do it this way.

Wait a minute.

That's it.

Good.

Have you seen my glasses?

Uh huh.

Thought I had them.

Hmm.

Only Jonathan.

Told you he'd try to do it again.

Can't see anything without my glasses.

- Hey wait a minute listen,

Okay let's play.

We have to give him

something to think about.

Hey you know how to give

your brother some pointers.

Here he comes.

What's he doing now?

You won't believe this.

He looks pissed.

Oh Daniel take me.

Take me right here in the graveyard.

They'll help us, all right.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey slow down, slow down.

Hello?

Ah take it easy.

Our friend was killed.

We can't find the others.

What you want us to do son?

- I want to know what you

meant by raising the devil.

What'd you mean by raising the devil?

Don't know nothing about that.

Told you to skidoo.

would make it back by now.

They're dead Warren.

Would you stop that.

It's true.

Dammit.

I gave Jonathan the keys to the camper.

We're gonna need 'em to get out of here.

I'll take the lantern.

Okay.

I'm gonna go to Jonathan.

Go and get the keys, I'll be right back.

You stay here.

Megan and Daniel will be here soon.

It's better if somebody's here.

Okay?

So I'll get the keys

and I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll get the whistle too.

In case I get lost.

You listen for it.

Okay?

murderer loose up here.

If you know anything.

No sir, she ain't seen nothing.

She's just a frightened child.

She ain't seen nothing.

You heard what the man said Agatha.

Gotta be around here some place.

- Don't you ever go

against this family child.

You said they is the devil.

But they're kin.

I guess that's what

the old man was hiding.

It's all right.

I want you to get your things together,

and get in that fancy wagon,

and get down off this mountain.

We, we didn't do anything.

I didn't say that you did,

but I told you not to come up here.

You knew about this.

No.

No I didn't.

I knew about you though.

What about our friends?

up after their bodies.
