I've got a better idea.

Glazer!

Don't you think we shouldn't be

so far away from the others?

Trust me, baby. Trust me. It's okay.

It's okay.

Easy, Glazer, please.

Relax, baby. Be good, it's gonna be good.

Trust me.

- Relax.

- Easy.

Stop!

Hold still.

- Sh*t!

- That's all?

Is it?

I'm sorry, Sally.

- I don't know what happened.

- It's okay.

It'll be better next time, baby. Trust me.

"Trust me, baby."

Sally?

- You're cold?

- Yes.

You didn't do too much to warm me up.

So, I guess you wanna go back, is that it?

No.

Why don't we stay? We might...

What are you saying? You mean that?

Do you really mean that?

I guess so.

That's a girl.

Hey, wanna know something?

I'm gonna sneak on back to the campsite.

Get some matches.

Come back here and build us a hot fire.

What do you think about that?

- Don't be long.

- Not a second longer than I gotta be.

Listen, you stay warm, you hear?

Because I'm coming right back.

No, please, no! No!

Sally?

Sorry it took so long, babe.

Hey, Sally?

Hey, listen now,

you playing hide and seek?

Peekaboo!

Todd, Todd. You gotta wake up.

You gotta wake up.

- Now, come on. Hurry up. Wake up.

- Come on, Alfred.

No, come on, hurry.

You gotta wake up now, come on.

- What time is it?

- Look, I couldn't help it.

It happened so fast, it was like...

He was out.

He was out and...

And he was on top of him in a second.

I was... I didn't know.

I was following and he...

Look... Glazer's dead.

- What the f*** are you talking about?

- No, no, really.

- I saw him. I saw him kill Glazer.

- Look, would you be quiet?

- You're going to wake everybody up.

- The same guy at the window...

That I saw at the window.

Remember? I told him about

the guy at the window.

- What guy?

- The burned face.

He's dead.

Alfred, if this is another one of your

tricks, you know, I'm not really...

You don't believe me.

You're just like the others,

you don't believe me.

- I'm telling you, I saw him.

- Would you be quiet?

I'll go with you, all right? Okay?

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Todd!

What do you see?

- It's a raft.

- It's a raft.

I don't know.

- I know.

- What are they doing?

Now, why would they get off the raft?

You guys are really falling for this,

aren't you?

For what?

I mean, you still don't realize we got

Ringling Brothers out there.

Hey, Eddy! You guys!

All right, come on. Enough is enough?

Come on, bring it in, you guys.

This is ridiculous.

Come on, come on, come on. Let's go.

- Dave, wait. Stay, I want to go in.

- Hey, can we go in?

No, just stay here okay.

Let me check it out.

Okay, we'll stay here.

You guys are in trouble.

Counselor coming.

Hey, Dave, what do you really

think is happening?

I don't know. Am I swimming out there?

Hang on a minute.

Is Alfred there?

- Hey, there's Todd.

- Where?

Hey, Todd!

Todd.

Can you do something about the raft?

Stay! Stay here!

I know we're gonna die, for real.

We'll never get back.

Just get back to camp and get me

some help. That's all I want you to do.

Just get me some help.

All right, come on, come on.

Alfred!

Michelle, I'm so tired.

I can't paddle anymore.

Paddle! Now, we're almost there.

What do you want to do, stop right now?

Deep down there you can do it. Come on.

You can do it.

- Come on.

- Let's go.

Alfred!

Todd?

Grab this pole.

Come on, just another inch. Pull it.

What's with the raft?

Where are my canoes?

Jeff, where's the outboard?

What do you want with the outboard?

Listen to me. There is a killer out there.

Oh, come on, Michelle.

Todd put you up to this?

God damn it! Look at those kids!

Can't we go any faster?

It's a small motor, Michelle.

It won't go any faster.

How long before the police get there?

Oh, God, I hope they're there.

They said they were going by helicopter.

Help! Help!

Alfred?

Alfred!

Alfred.

Cropsy's going to get

what he deserves.

If we pull this off,

it'll be the biggest number

Camp Blackfoot has ever seen.

Tonight's the night

that we scare the sh*t out of Cropsy.

- Jamie, you with us?

- Yeah, sure.

- Snoop?

- I'm in.

- Billy?

- I can't stand the son of a b*tch.

What about you, Todd?

Alfred?

Alfred.

Todd!

Todd.

Todd!

Alfred!

Alfred, get out!

Let's go.

They never found

his body but they say

his spirit lives in the forest.

This forest.

A maniac, a thing no longer human.

They say

he lives on whatever he can catch.

Eats them raw, alive maybe.

And every year

he picks on a summer camp

and seeks his revenge

for the terrible things

those kids did to him.

Every year he kills.

Right now, he's out there. Watching.

Waiting.

So don't look, he'll see you.

Don't breathe, he'll hear you.

Don't move, you're dead!
