Darkmoor Manor has a past shrouded in

shadows and bloodshed

it was built in 1782 for millionaire and

recluse Margaret the Mort but even

during its construction the property

seemed cursed an unexplained fire in the

West Quarter claimed her son the Mort

was grief-stricken and took her own life

by hanging herself from the rafters the

next family lasted less than a year in

Dartmoor, violently butchered by their gardener who

later claimed in court that the house had made him do it.

Since then Dartmoor has

claimed twelve more victims

five within the last year only last

February a film crew at looking for

proof of the supernatural and never came

out

don't worry that footage was never found

but seriously there had been continued

reports of ghostly apparitions,

terrible screams and...

...strange shadowy figures staring out of the windows

on full moons yes this is the most cursed haunted

house in Britain and that ladies and

gents concludes the tour

You're not doing something right. I can

figure this out.

Fine, you do it then.

Maybe I could help.

Oh sorry are we holding everyone up?

No, but a few minutes yet. May I?

So polite!

Oh capped camera is there that it seems.

Should we start again?

Sure.

I'll get the house in background.

So tell me are they all like you

around here?

Oh no no one else like me around here

hmm

Where are you from?

Chicago

Chicago? Well, welcome to Dartmoor. There,

that's your liking? So did you enjoy the tour?

That depends, is it all true?

Yeah every word. Well

yes embellished a bit..Who doesn't like a little drama.

Quite.

That's us! Thanks um...

Tom.

Hi I'm Tom.

Tom, got it, well good meeting you Tom.

I didn't get your name.

You didn't did you? Hmm you know maybe

if you buy us a drink I will tell you.

My pleasure this way

Are you sure about this?

Are you kidding? It's just a drink and he is

hot. Come on let's do it!

So what do you think?

About what?

About Tom what else.

He's alright.

God loosen up a bit okay we're here to have fun.

I have fun just not the kind of fun that you have. I guess he's nice enough

mm-hm

I'm thinking he's going to look a lot nicer in

my bed. Slut

Who's a slut?

I'm the slut apparently

the Yankee slut.

Is that a nickname given or earned?

... Dick!

Does she always talk like that? I'll have you know that I'm a gentleman

Bullshit!

No you're right I'm a dirty rotten scoundrel you can't blame a man

for trying.

So what are you doing this ghastly part of the world?

Holidaying,

studying what?

We're touring Europe.

Touring Europe?

Oh that's so cute seeing sites the voyage

of self-discovery getting drugged

kidnapped sold to the highest bidder but

you've seen Hostel right?

No...

Well you

probably should do that next time you go abroad.

Still if you hadn't come to

Dartmoor you'd have missed my thrilling tour.

I loved the tour.

I know I was

particularly brilliant I really felt I

delivered the drama.

You are so full of

it.

But seriously I enjoy it. I mean I get

good crowds, Dartmoor's got an incredible

history, and that's a fun story to tell

don't you ever feel bad exploiting the town's misfortune.

Exploiting? Look, this town exists because of that house

it's the only reason the entire community survives.

Okay we get it

the house is awesome.

Sorry it's just...

Look you wouldn't be joking if you went

into that house. You'd feel how real it is

You feel it to your very bones.

You've

been inside then?

Yeah, been in and lived to

tell the tale so to speak. That makes a

believer out of you that's for sure

Hmm well maybe you can make a believer

out of me.

I can get you in and if you

really wanted, but what about your friend?

Isn't that trespassing?

Don't be such a wuss Morgan!

Morgan.

Oh finally a name! And you are? Well you know

other than the Yankee slut.

Other than

Yankee slut I'm also Cassie.

Cassie, it suits you.

Yeah.

Well, you'll be giving more than just your name tonight I wager.

Oh yeah we'll see about that you're

going to play your cards right Tom the

Tour Guide.

Okay.

Right. I'm off to the Jets.

I'll give you ladies a moment to discuss.

Please, please don't f*** this up for me Morgan, okay, he's the first hot

guy we've met in over three months here and you're giving me a hard time

If you like him so much why do you even want me here?

Because we made a promise not to leave

each other alone I'm not doing it

Fine I'll come along, but if the whole night

ends up with me watching you make out with him I'm gonna be really pissed.

Don't worry, Mo, I'm sure if you offer a threesome he'll be more than thrilled

Hey!

Come on.

How do I look?

So what's the verdict?

You guys in or out?

Ready when you are

Great, I'll make it a night to die for.

What too much?

Probably.

before we go in I want to warn you

though unlike my tour this house is the

real deal no tricks no bullshit. It's plain scary.

Here, keep it running.

Jesus can anyone find the light I can't

see a f***ing thing.

Shh there's no power running to the house.

Grab a torch.

Do you mind?

(Scream)

What the hell Morgan.

Rat!

Jesus Christ...

Get your sh*t together, this isn't a place to f*** about.

what was that?

(Moans)

I don't know, you wanna go find out?

Come on stay close.

Watch your step.

Who's room was this?

(Creak)

(LOUD BANG)

Is it bright enough?

Yes.

No!

(Screams)

Oh my god! There was a man! Or something.

Where?

Straight ahead, in your flashlight.

Men I can handle. Ghosts, not so much.

But it's just your mind playing tricks with you.

Look...

See, there's no here.

We're okay.

(Screams)

Morgan!

MORGAN!

No no no no no!

(LOUD SCREAM)

(crying and screaming)

HELP!

Morgan!

Tom!

Where's Cassidy?

She fell. I know she was behind me. I heard her scream.

It's okay. She'll be fine.

(Gasps)

She's gone now.

You trusting little c*nt!

The entire reason this community survives is

because of that house. And the song must go on...

Once you're here at Dartmore, you don't leave.

Is it done?

Gutted that b*tch like Pig

You enjoy this a bit too much

And you almost let this f***ing one get away. If you don't think you can do it, then I'll find someone who can.

You don't have to worry

about me!

Think anyone's gonna miss her?

Yeah...

I can see the headlines now.

F***

What?

Forgive me.

Forgive me!
