ELLIE: Wow, It's really,
it's really heavy.

SAM:
Some of dad's stuff..

Open it.

Come on, open it!

I'm gonna. Quit bossing me.

Whoa, look at this.

Yeah, it's a camera.

It doesn't work.

That's because you have to
turn it on for it to work.

Awesome, dad loved
taking photos.

I think..

It's not that kind of
a camera Sam.

Here, it goes on your head.

And, it takes videos.
Like they have in movies.

Thanks Ellie.
How do you know all this?

Because I'm smarter than you.

Whatever.

Looks great.

Alright, we should
probably get out of here.

If mom finds us in here.

She'll beat the shit out of us.

So uh, put that stuff back.

Can I keep the
necklace and the camera?

Sam...

SAM: Please?

Fine.

but if mom catches you
with that shit,

she's gonna give you
another black eye

and I'm not going to
feel sorry for you.

I know, but I don't care.

Going somewhere?

I just like to be prepared.

You never know when
we have to bail

with all
that's been going on.

Give it up Sam.
There is nothing going on.

It is all in your imagination.

We'll see about that.

We've been hearing that
knocking in the walls

for three nights now.

I'm going to
use dad's camera and record it.

Really?

Come on, it'll be like ghost
hunters. We could be famous.

Sam, you will never be famous.

So, should we just hang out here
and wait for the noises?

No way!

I am not having any
part in this.

This is all you.

Come on! I know you
heard it before.

What do you think it is?

I don't know Sam, it's

That was so not a squirrel.

No, no it wasn't.

Good thing that didn't wake mom

or we would be in
lots of trouble.

I don't even want to think

We're on own own here Sam.

Now stay behind me or I will be
the one slapping you.

Got it?

There's nothing in here.

What's in there?

It's rusted shut sooo, they
didn't go down there.

SAM: At least we both
saw it this time.

BRANDI: What the hell
are you two pukes up to?

Quick, go back to our room now!

SAM: But?

Don't argue just go!
GO GO GO GO GO!

BRANDI: Ellie!

What the fuck are you

I was getting my beauty

But Ma!

BRANDI: One more word.
Do what I tell you, you little cunt!

(SMACK)
(ELLIE CRYS OUT)

It's okay. Breath in through
your nose.

Out through your mouth.

What, what was it?

It, it was just
our drunk ass mom.

No. the thing in the bathroom?

I don't know what
that thing was.

So, we can talk
more about it tomorrow

and try and figure it out.

But for right now, we should
just get some sleep.

Did she hurt you?

It's, it's just bruises upon

I don't even feel it anymore.

Come on!

Can you go in with me?

I will stand right here, okay?

Leave the door open.

Alright, hurry up.

ELLIE:
Filthy hag.

Done! Let's eat!
(SCARY SOUND ACCOMPANIES THIS)

(1920's JAZZ PLAYS IN

It's a blob from outer space!

It's going to kill us all!

I'm going to eat you all!

Sam, just eat your pancakes.

Come on Ellie, show us
what you're eating.

Grow up Sam!

Ellie, is everything
going to be okay?

If we can survive mom.

I can totally survive this.

You can survive it but
what about me?

That's what I meant.

That's what I meant.

We!

We can survive this!

So, what are we going to do?

I have no idea.

Who knows what went
on in this house.

What do you mean?

You know,
our family. It's weird.

Dad never even
mentioned grandpa.

We don't even know his name.

For all we know, our Grandpa.

He could be some psycho.

Ya know?

This kind of stuff always
happens in my comics.

Somebody did
something bad and then

they come back to
haunt after they...

Umm, how did grandpa die?

I don't even know. Nobody
in this fucking family

tells us anything.

So, what
are we going to do today?

I was thinking.

We could look for some clues.

What kind of clues?

About grandpa.

I mean, this is his house.

There's gotta be something
stored somewhere.

Where we gonna look?

Maybe,
we could look in the attic?

There's an attic?

Yeah!

There's gotta be something up
there that can tell us

why this is happening.

It's okay.

I will be there with you the
entire time, alright?

Now hurry up and eat
before mom gets home

so we can go check it out.

I'm not hungry right now.

Yeah, me neither.

You know.

You could probably just take.

No!

Sam.

We have all the proof we need.

I just feel like it
keeps me safe.

Safe from what?

I don't know.

I just feel like dad is watching
me through this.

Listen, Sam.

Fine.

Keep it.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

SAM: (COUGHS)
I can't breathe.

ELLIE:
You're fine. Come on, lets go.

SAM: Here, use this.
You can see on the edge of the screen.

ELLIE:
Good idea.

SAM:
See? That thing is still useful.

ELLIE:
Shut up.

ELLIE:
Looks clear. Come on up Sam.

So, where do we start?

Probably start with some
of these boxes.

SAM:
Holy cow.

SAM: How old do you
think all this is?

I don't know.

But something tells me these
haven't been looked at

for a long time.

Hey, look at this.

SAM:
Who's that?

Maybe it's grandma?

It's just a bunch of old
key chains.

Cool, treasure!

Tasty Treats.

Sounds yummy.

Yeah.

(KEY RATTLES)

What's that?

It's a key.

Let me see.

Wait a sec.

Commence analyzing.

Send to father for further
information.

Give it to me Sam.

Fine.

So, what do you think it's for?

I don't know,

but we're going to find out.

Hey, I found that!

Yeah and you'll lose it too.

You suck.

Just help me
go through this box.

Cool, movie things.

Yeah.

Looks like some of them have
already been developed.

Look at this one.

Jed, ice cream truck.

9.26.1967.

SAM: Dad?

Dad and grandpa could have had
the same name.

Grandpa was an ice cream man?

That's actually pretty cool.

Yeah.

Hey look,
there's another one that says,

Happy Birthday Jason.

Who's Jason?

You know, we could
probably use these

on the projector
that's in the den.

Gimme your backpack!

BRANDI: Girls?

BRANDI:
What are you doing up here?
