[WATER DRIPPING]

[BREATHING]

MAN: No.

[BREATHING CONTINUES]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING FADES]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

MAN: Hey!

Where's Howard and the rest
of the apprentices?

We left them at the bottom to find
their own way up!



They got to learn sometime.

lf you want to be a troubleshooter,
you got to know the mine.

ls it all clear down there?

Yeah, we won't
need these anymore,

but l wouldn't go
lighting any matches.

Damn methane.

lt's going to blow
this place to shit one of these days.

We ain't that lucky.

Whoo, hey, come on, now.
Knock it off.

[MEN LAUGHING]

Howard!

Hey, Howard!

Hey! Enjoy your walk up?

Yeah, real joke.
Why didn't you guys wait?



Look, Landers, you got to get a lot of exercise
if you're going to grapple with Gretchen.

Oh, yeah? Well, l got a Valentine for her
that she's never going to forget.

Right to the heart, huh?

lt's going to be a hot time
on Saturday night!

Yee-haw!

[WHOOPING]

Hey, Stavinski, you do anything else with that
except throw it over your shoulder and burp it?

Aw, get lost, Axel.

Oh, bunch of clowns. Things haven't
changed a bit. Same as always.

Bet you wish you never came back.

Especially now since Sarah's
going out with Axel.

No skin off my nose.

l don't give a damn.

Come on, last one
into town gets the brew.

Let's go.

Okay.

Let's go, guys!
Whoo-ha!

[ENGINE STARTS AND HORN HONKING]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[AIR HORN HONKS]

Quitting time! Casanova is here!

HOLLIS:
Yee-haw!

Gretchen, it's me.

Howard, stay away from me.

Hi, babe.

- How are you?
- l'm fine.

- Good to see you.
- Nice to see you too.

Hi, sweetie.

You big brute, l missed you.

[PEOPLE CLAMOURING
AND KISSING]

Anything l should know?

No. Of course not.

Gretchen, l want you
to be my date for the dance. Will you?

Dry up.

Gretchen, you know
what would look really good on you?

- What?
- Me.

Suck it in and
zip it up, will you?

Gretchen, why fight it?

Oof.

Let the good times roll.

All right!

[AIR HORN HONKS]

Hi, fellas.

Mabel, this is the best thing
that's happened to this town in years.

Your decorating committee
has done one hell of a job.

Well, after all,

the first Valentine's
dance in 20 years

has to be
something special.

Uh, yeah, well, uh,

of course, you're right,
Mabel, but l think we'd all be better off

if you played down
the fact

that it's the first Valentine's dance
in 20 years,

if you know
what l mean.

Let's just concentrate
on having a good time Saturday night

and put all that
other business to rest.

My thoughts exactly, Mayor.

[BOTH SCREAMING]

Hi, guy.

Oh, come on, you clowns!

Help Miss Osborne
pick those things up.

[LAUGHTER]

What the hell are
you kids doing in here?

You're supposed to be
decorating the room,

not each other.

MAYOR:
Where you going, son?

Where l always go
this time of day--

for another beer
and a real good nose pick.

Ooh! l'm sorry, TJ.

l don't think he likes
being back in the mine very much.

MAYOR:
Well, that's too bad.

Nobody told him to go out
to the West Coast.

lt's not my fault
he couldn't make it on his own.

But now that he's back here,

he's my son and he's
working in the mine.

You guys better put those things back
where you found them,

or l'll turn you both upside down.
Especially you.

This is my date, Chief.

Chief, that meeting
in Centerville is at 7:00.

Maybe we should
hit the road.

Then let's go.
l'll see you kids later. Bye, Mabel.

- Keep up the good work.
- See you, Chief.

l might as well go too.

All of this will have
to be rewashed.

l'm really sorry, Mabel.

[SCOOFS]

ANNOUNCER[ON RADIO]: This is station QPlD,
940 on your radio dial...

Oh.

Mayor!

Mayor?

Mayor, somebody left this for you.

For me? Who was it?

l don't know. lt was already inside
when we got here.

Maybe you got
a secret admirer, huh?

[LAUGHING]

You in on this, Mabel?

l'm afraid not, Mayor.

Oh, no.

No no.
Don't look at me.

l didn't have a thing
to do with it.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, well, hell,

l've been looking
for an excuse

to get off this miserable diet
Mrs. Hanniger has me on.

Thanks, Howard.

MAYOR: lf there's one thing
l like better

than Christmas candy,
it's Valentine's candy.

Have some.

Hey...

who sent it?

''From the heart
comes a warning

filled with
bloody good cheer--

remember what happened

as the 14th draws near.''

[GASPS]

lt can't be happening again.

lt can't be happening
again.

[SIREN WAILING]

lt's a bad time,

this time of year.

Bad things coming.

My words, you hear.

Beware the 14th...

- ...if you value your life.
HOWARD: Here we go again.

How many times is he
going to tell this story?

PATTY: Oh, let him tell it.
l love fairy tales.

This ain't no fairy tale,
little girl.

lf you don't
take it seriously,

you're a fool.

Ohh!

HOLLIS:
Hurt yourself?

Axel, are you okay?

Oh, no.
Let me see.

l know what
l'm talking about.

l'm telling you now,

this town is a-cursed.

Now it started 20 years ago.

lt was the night
of the Valentine's Day dance

at the Union Hall--

the biggest event of the year.

lt had been a tradition
for over 100 years.

Everybody was there,
except for seven miners

who were out
at the Henniger Mine,

five of them
still down below.

Two supervisors
were waiting for the men to come up.

Anxious to get
to the party,

they left before
the men were safely out

failing to check
the methane gas levels

in the tunnels
down below.

[EXPLOSION]

The five men
were buried alive

as the town
continued its party.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

For six weeks,
we dug around the clock

to try to save them.

After we broke through,

one man was found alive.

l was the one who found him.

[SCREAMING]

Harry Warden spent the next year
in the state mental hospital.

Exactly one year later,

on Valentine's Day,

he came back to town.

He killed
the two supervisors

who had left their posts
the year before.

Then he cut out
their hearts

and stuffed them into
heart-shaped candy boxes.

That night at the dance
we found the boxes,

blood dripping
out the sides.

lnside was a note--

a warning from Harry

never to hold
a Valentine's dance

ever again.

Every February 14,

Harry comes back to town,

his pickax
stained with blood,

waiting in the shadows
of the Henniger Mine...

just for someone
to kill

should they not heed
his warning.

lt could be you.

l know what l'm saying.

You forget about having a party
at all on Saturday night,

or you may not live
to see daylight.

[HOWARD BLOWS
RASPBERRY AND LAUGHTER]

Laugh now...

but you'll be sorry
you didn't listen to me.

HOLLIS: Uh-oh.

Come on, Hap,
lighten up.

HAPPY:
lt's a stupid legend.

SARAH:
lt gives me the creeps.

PATTY: Hi, you guys.
Who ordered the Moosehead?

l did, you gorgeous slab
of female fleshiness.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING
AND ALL SINGING]

l hate that song.

l mean, it's, like, uh--

hey, where you going?

l just want to put on
some music, okay?

Be my guest.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

lt's your own fault.
You know that, don't you, TJ?

Never said it wasn't.

Then why can't you
just accept things the way they are?

Maybe because l don't like
the way things are.

Excuse me.

[SIREN WAILING]

Yes, all right.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

l have to call in the morning.

The administration office
is closed at night.

The nurse that's on duty
doesn't know a thing.

Well, she's got to know whether
he's there or not.

l just hope this is
some kind of joke

and the kids are just trying to scare
the hell out of us.

lf it is a joke, l want every one of
those kids strung up,

starting with that damn
Howard Landers!

Well, it's a human
heart, all right.

A young woman,
about 30 years old.

What the hell are you guys doing
with a loose heart?

Looks like a butcher
ripped this thing out.

What's going on over
in Valentine Bluffs?

You remember
Harry Warden?

God, of course l remember.

Those were terrible murders.

God, l thought
they locked him up in Easftield

20 years ago.

They did.

Are you sure
he's still there?

We'll find out in the morning.
l'm checking on it.

Well, gentlemen,

l'd say you have
your answer.

lt looks like Harry Warden's
back in town.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[HARRY WARDEN BREATHING]

Well, now,

l wonder who sent this?

Jake?

Ohh.

''Roses are red,
violets are blue...

...one is dead,

...and so are you''?

[SCREAMING]

No!

No! Get away! Get away!

Get away!

No! No!

[CONTINUES SCREAMING]

Get away! No! No!

[GROANING]

No! No!

BOY:
Hey, this is getting really good.

HOWARD:
Don't put your nose in it.

[HOWARD LAUGHS]

[WHIRRING]

HOLLIS: Hey, this is what
l really call junk food.

How much longer, Hollis?
l'm freezing.

Hey, relax.
This thing ain't no microwave.

Hey, how about
revving it up?

Man, have l got the munchies.

Yeah, me, too.
A little protein patrol, hey, boys?

HOLLIS:
Don't go poking my meat.

lt's hardly cooked.

Don't go sticking
your nose in the food.

BOY: lt's his. He can do what
he wants with it.

ls that turkey, Hollis?
l asked for roast beef.

Turkey for the turkey.

[HARMONICA PLAYING]

TJ: Here.

Come on, shove over.

[COUGHING]

Sure is cold tonight.

Yeah.

[BLOWS HARMONICA]

[BLOWING AND PLAYNG]

Well, l guess we got
ourselves a problem, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, l guess so.

What are we going
to do about it?

Well, there ain't
nothing to do about it.

Sarah's
going with me now

and that's
all there is to it.

l ain't going to back off
for you, TJ.

Nobody asked you
to go away, TJ.

Come on, Axel, don't give me
any of that horseshit.

l mean, you're beginning
to sound like my old man.

Too bad, man.

Look, you left. You left.

You went away, and we didn't know
where you were

or-- or when the hell
you were coming back.

l ain't going to back off
for you, TJ.

You stay the hell
away from Sarah.

TJ:
All right, all right.

You want a fight,
then you got it.

Because you and l
both know who Sarah wants.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

[SIGHS]

You were kind of
hard on him, Teege.

You can't exactly
blame him.

Sure, it's not his fault.
lt's nobody's fault.

l don't know what to do.

You know, l really do like
that son of a bitch.

Hey, remember--

remember how we used to tear
this place apart?

Eh? Get drunk,
race out to the bluffs?

HOLLIS:
That was great.

l guess things change, huh?

Nothing stays the same.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

CHIEF:
W-A-R-D-E-N.

Harry Warden.
He was committed under court order

approximately
20 years ago.

Well, l'm afraid
l have no records

of a Harry Warden,
past or present.

CHIEF: But how can that be?
He was committed there

under court order.

l'm sorry.
l have no records on him.

Look, in 20 years, any number of things
could have happened.

Now if this Harry Warden
was committed, as you say,

then he's simply
no longer here.

And if l have
no records on him,

l have to assume that he's transferred,
he's released,

or he's on the slab.
One of three, take your pick.

One out of three?

Now look, Mrs. Raleigh, you're
going to have to do

a little bit better
than that.

Now l have to know
what happened to this man

and l have to know
what happened to him now.

Now have you
checked everything?

Everything...

except the microfilms
over in central file,

and it will take
several days to check that.

Look, l need answers
and l need them fast.

l'll be waiting
for your call.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER[ON PA]:
Dr. Peyton, 3-5-3.

Jumping J--

they don't even know what the hell
happened to him.

Well, w-what
do we need to know?

lt's got to be Harry.

Maybe we ought
to cancel the dance.

Just decide which one
you really want.

And now for
the big moment--

will it be number one,
or will it be number two?

Patty, will you
be serious?

This is important.

You can't have them
both, you know.

- l don't want them both.
- Oh, no?

No.

[GIGGLES]

Just what l thought.

Oh, l don't know.
TJ won't talk to me.

He just sulks
all day long.

He ends up making me
feel guilty,

when he's the one
who owes me the apology.

And Axel is not
behaving any better.

Oh, Patty, l don't even want to go
to the dance on Saturday night.

Oh, but you got to go.

lt'll be all right.
Just stay with Hollis and me.

Besides, you got to see
the dress l got--

cut down to here,
slit up to there.

l may not get out alive.

Mabel?

Mabel, l got to talk to you.

We got a problem
concerning the dance.

Mabel!

Mabel, you back here?

[SNIFFS]

[WASHING MACHINE
WHIRRING]

Okay. Little John?

l want you and Mike
to check the wall.

TJ,

take care of the sump.

TJ: You get a pump down there,
or l ain't doing it.

AXEL: You do it or you get
your ass out of here for good.

HANNIGER:
l'll do it.

l'll do it.

What's bugging
him today?

Son of a bitch
is after my ass

because of Sarah.

lf he keeps it up,
l'm going to nail him.

l said move it, Hanniger!

Oh, yeah.
Come on, man.

[LIQUID SPILLING]

Anytime, loser.

MAN: Hey, that's it!
Break it up, you two!

TJ, you get your ass
up top to crew 17.

Go!

There ain't going to be no fighting
in my section, Palmer!

Understand?

What an awful smell.

This is like it was
20 years ago.

l can remember those murders
just like it was yesterday.

Jake, you got to get
help from Granville.

No, not yet.

lf we call in Granville, we'll have police
crawling all over this place

and we'll have a hell
of a panic on our hands.

You just mention
that Harry's back

and this town won't
be worth the powder to blow it to hell.

Uh, just a minute.
Just a minute, boys.

Uh...

l want you to bring
the ambulance around back.

Load her up from there.

l don't want anybody
in town seeing this.

You remember--

Mabel Osborne died
of a heart attack

and that's all.

You breathe one word
of this to anybody

and you'll have
to answer to me.

Wait a minute.
What's this?

Take her away.

''lt happened once,

it happened twice.

Cancel the dance
or it'll happen thrice.''

Oh, well,

th-th-that's it.

The dance is canceled.

Let's tear every poster,
every banner,

every decoration down
and-- and out of sight.

l don't want to see a single Valentine's
heart anywhere.

As long as this town is
decorated to the hilt,

Harry's going
to keep on killing.

And-- and get that damn
Union Hall locked up.

All right.
All right, Mayor.

No, l'm sorry.
There's nothing l can do about it.

Hey, what's going on?

The mayor has
canceled the dance

and that's
all there is to it.

Well, in the light of Mabel's death,
he had no choice.

There'll be
no parties, either.

We owe her
that much respect.

Mabel would've wanted us
to have the dance.

l mean, she worked
so hard on it.

Yeah, you can't
cancel it now.

He's just looking for an excuse to
cancel the dance.

That's the way it is.

They'll be no dance
tomorrow night

and no parties, either.
Do you understand me?

[WHIRRING]

AXEL:
Hanniger!

You and me have
something to settle!

You bet we do.

[COUGHING]

HOLLIS: Howard, you got
to chew it.

You don't
blow bubbles with it.

l'll take care
of myself.

How'd you ever get
to be so stupid?

l'm going to shower.

TJ, will you stop this?
l don't want to go with you.

Are you listening to me?

Nope.

[SEAGULLS CAWING]

Remember this spot?

Of course l remember
this spot.

Why didn't you write me, TJ?

Why didn't you call?

l wanted to, believe me,

but l couldn't.

l mean, l really fell
on my ass out there.

l made so many mistakes.

But l learned something.

Look...

give me a chance.

lf you still want me
to go away, l will.

But l have to tell you that l love you
and l want you back.

How was l supposed
to know that, Jessie?

l honestly didn't think
you were ever coming back.

You just left me here.

Sarah, please.

l'm sorry.

l'm so damn sorry.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND CROWD CLAMOURING]

Have you seen Sarah?

Ain't my turn
to watch after her.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[RUSTLING]

[DOG BARKING]

[WHISPERING] Damn it, Sarah,
why do you do this to yourself?

How am l going to tell Axel?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Sarah!

Chief Newby.

l'm sorry l startled you.

lt's all right.

ls something the matter?

No, l'm--

l'm just making my nightly patrol.

Right.

Good night, Chief.

Oh, good night, Sarah.

Give me a beer, Hap.

You hear about
Mabel Osborne?

She got it just the way l said.

Heart attack, my ass.

Well, if we aren't going to have
a Valentine's dance,

what are we going to do?

Why don't we have
a Valentine party?

ALL:
Yeah, a party!

Where? Newby's got this whole town
locked up, bright guy.

How about my father's mine, huh?

- TJ, are you crazy? Come on.
PATTY: The mine!

ln the mine?

That'd be great.

lt would.
What a blast.

HOLLIS: ln the mine?
That's exactly what it would be.

Oh, it'd be
great!

Come on, Hollis. We've got everything
we need down there.

We got, uh, let's see,
we got a rec room.

We got a pool table.
Everything.

Yeah, in the mine...
where people get killed and eaten.

Beware of
Harry Warden.

Whooo!

Shut the fuck up.

Beware of what you make fun of,
you little asshole.

- Who?
- You.

Forget about having
a party at all tomorrow night

or you'll be sorry.

[SIGHS]

Hey, lighten up, Hap.

Piss on Harry Warden
and that damn old legend.

We're gonna have
ourselves a party.

Don't you go telling nobody.

Don't say l didn't warn you.

That settles it then.

We're going to the mine
and we're going to have ourselves a party.

[ALL CHEERING]

Assholes.

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ENGINE REVVING]

Damn kids. l'll show them.

Piss on Harry Warden,
will they?

Well, l'll give them
a scare they'll never forget.

We were doing just fine until you decided
to come crawling home.

Well, in case you haven't noticed,
things have changed around here.

She don't want nothing

Do you mind?
l have my own mouth, thank you.

Then why don't you use it?
Tell him.

Tell me what?

[BALL RATTLING]

She wants to come back
with me.

Bullshit, man.

Why don't you

You're acting like
a couple of jerks.

Oh, well, you just

That's it!

Look, l'm sorry.
l didn't mean for that to happen.

TJ, please stop it.

l just don't care
anymore.

Just leave me alone.

Okay, listen. l showed
you how to do it

with the right nostril,
right?

Now you take the straw
and you put it up the neck,

the left nostril, right?
And you snort it.

[SNORTS]

[LAUGHTER]

Come on, loosen up.
Let's have fun.

We're at a Valentine's party,

l got a little
punchy myself.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

A woman named Raleigh.
She said it was urgent.

All right.
Mobile One, coming in.

Hey, how about
a little trip down to the mine?

- The mine?
- Yeah, it'll be great. Come on.

lt's supposed to be
like a roller coaster, isn't it?

lt's 2,000 feet down.

That's okay. lt'll cheer her up anyway.
Come on, Hollis.

Come on, Mike,

Come on.

[LAUGHING]

GRETCHEN:

Ow!

[HOLLIS HOWLING]

[HOLLIS LAUGHING]

Hollis!

Where do you think
you're going?

We're just going
to go for a quick ride

and come right back up.
Believe me.

You can't take them
down there.

You know the rule.
No women in the mine.

We're gonna come right back up again.
Believe me.

- Come on.
- Watch your step.

Howard, don't be a pain
in the ass.

Pain in the ass?
What pain in the ass?

Be careful.
Be careful.

HOLLIS:
Down we go.

Come on, you guys, hop in the cars.
l'll be right back.

- Yeah, we made it.

Michael!

Here you go.
And a blanket.

Hey, Hollis,

Here's one for you.
l'll be right back.

Do you believe we're
really doing this?

lt's so dark
down there.

On second thought,
l think l'm gonna stay right up here.

Oh, no, you don't.
lf l'm going down there, baby,

- you're going with me.
- Oh, great.

DOLLIS: Hey, hold on, everybody.
Here we go.

Keep your hands inside.

And pass me that beer.

All right.

Come on, pass a couple

Get ready to stop.

[ALL WHOOPING

Hey, Hollis, pass me a beer.
Want one, Mike?

GRETCHEN:
How far down does it go?

300 miles deep.

- Come on, Sarah.

You're down here

Wow.

Oh, little bit of a free ride.
There we go.

Stops all by itself.

Yeah, l hope you kids enjoyed yourself,
'cause we're going right back up.

[WOMEN GROAN]

Oh, that was great, Hollis.

- Let's do it again.
- Howard usually walks.

Oh, let's do it again, Hollis.
Come on.

[GROANS]

Hey, where does that go?

Oh, that leads to
an abandoned part.

We don't go down
there anymore.

- Oh, take us on a tour, Hollis.
- Yeah.

Yeah, let's show
them around.

All right.
All right.

Just because we're here.
Come on.

Keep those blankets
wrapped around you.

- You're gonna get chilly.
- Okay, honey.

lt's cold.

All right, boys and girls,
this is called a tipple.

So that's a tipple.

This is also called
a tipple.

- Hey, Howard, come on!
- Coming!

- Hey, Howard, come on!
- l'm coming!

l just heard something.
Probably some rats.

Rats! You never told me
there were rats.

This is the old engine room.

Oh, uh-huh.

Boy, what a nice view
back here.

Howard.

Hey, Hollis.

We'll meet you in 10 minutes
over at the main shaft.

HOLLIS: All right. No longer.
We're going straight up.

[CLATTERING]

lt's pretty dark.

How do you like my pad, huh?

lt's okay.

l can't believe
you work here.

Yep.

[SCREAMING]

- He's in there!
- What is it?

What's the matter?

He's in there. He's in there.

What's going on?
What's going on?

[CROWD GASPS]

Dead.
He-- he--

- What are you talking about?
- He killed her.

What are you
talking about?

Dave is dead!

No! No!

No!

TJ, it's Sylvia.
Somebody's killed her.

lt's Harry Warden.
He's here!

Everybody get
the fuck out!

Go! Go! Go!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[COINS CLICKING]

Come on, come on!

Son of a bitch must have cut
the phone lines.

Okay, now listen.
l want you to make sure

that everybody
gets out of here.

And l want you
to get the chief

and tell him to get
here and fast.

Now go!

Sarah, she's in the mine
with the others.

What?

Her, Hollis
and Patty.

They took the railcars
down there.

They're in the mine right now.
We gotta get them out.

That's where that crazy guy probably is.
Look, he'll kill them!

l'm gonna get her out.

Come on.
Come on!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Go! Go!

Come on.

lf anything happens
to Sarah, it'll be your fault.

You never should have
let them go down there.

Damn it, let's just worry about
getting them out.

l'll take
the abandoned section,

you take
the level above.

We'll meet in the main shaft
by the elevator.

Hope to God
we get there before Harry does.

Good luck.

[ELEVATOR BUZZING]

Where is he?

l don't know.

HOLLIS:
Boo!

[GIRLS GASP AND
HOLLIS LAUGHS]

Gotcha.

Damn you, Hollis.
Where the hell were you?

l thought you were
right behind me.

You must have gone down
the wrong tunnel.

Oh, sure we did.
You did that on purpose.

Me? Come on.

Okay.

Watch your head.

Watch your step
as well.

[WATER DRIPPING]

This is the oldest
part of the mine.

Oh, God!

These tunnels were
built in the early 1800s.

- Really?
- Yeah, it's all abandoned now.

Ooh.

We haven't worked
down here in years. Not since...

Harry Warden.

[HOWARD YELLS AND ALL SCREAM]

[LAUGHING]

Howard, what do you
think you're trying to do, you jerk?

Easy, l've got
a hangover.

[LAUGHING]

Boy, did you guys
jump!

- Howard!
- Ha-ha-ha!

Oh, Howard,
you goof.

- Get down out of there.
- l'll go the other way.

- For Pete's sake.

[PATTY LAUGHING]

Oh, God, you guys.

a little bit of fun.

Yeah yeah, sure.

Hey, you guys, where's
Mike and Harriet?

Maybe Harry Warden
got them.

Stop it.

Howard, come along
and behave yourself.

Yeah, let's go.

[HARRY BREATHING HEAVILY]

My blanket!

Oh, come on, you'd forget
your head

if it wasn't tied on with rope.
Let's go.

Come on, it's freezing
down here.

Hey, who's leading
this tour?

Well, go ahead if you want.

l feel so good.

So do l.

Where are we
going now, Hollis?

Oh, this leads to the main shaft.
We're going up.

How come the walls
are so white around here, Hollis?

l told you.
lt's lime powder.

They put it here
to contain explosions

and they put it on the wood
so it doesn't get dry and crack.

Hey, you guys,

how come Mike and Harriet
haven't come back yet?

Uh-oh.

[LIGHT BULBS SHATTERING]

What's that?

l thought
l heard something.

Look, it's probably
only rats.

That ain't no rat.

Come on, let's go
find Mike and Harriet

and get out of here.

- Come on!
- Coming.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[ENGINE STOPS]

Tommy Whitcomb, what the hell's
the matter with you, anyway?

Where's your brains?
How many times have l told you--

Chief, listen to me.
You have to go to the mine.

We were having a party and Harry Warden
started killing everybody!

Harry Warden?

Harry Warden
is at the mine.

There's a bunch of kids
trapped down below.

Axel and TJ are
trying to get them out.

He killed Sylvia and Dave!

All right. Get back in that car
and get home and stay put.

Go on!

[SIREN BLARING]

- Mobile One in.
BEN: Go ahead, Chief.

Yeah, Ben, call
the mayor right away,

then round up
every available man.

Meet me back at the mine.

trapped down below.

Howard, would you

- Watch your head.
- Just stay beside me.

- Okay.
- Michael!

Mike!

Why don't
they answer us?

- Stavinski!
- Mike!

We never should
have left them in the first place.

Maybe they're
down there.

- Jesus!
- TJ.

What the hell
are you trying to do?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Yeah, we're fine.
What's the matter with you?

We gotta get the hell
out of here.

Harry Warden is back.

He's killed Sylvia
and Dave up top.

Are you kidding?

Harry's dead.
Harry died a long time ago.

Will you shut up and listen to me,
goddamn it!

Now they're dead and
he's down here somewhere.

lf you wanna get out
of here alive,

you do exactly
as l tell you.

What are we
gonna do?

This better not be
your idea of a joke, TJ.

Do l look
like l'm joking?

Come on.
Let's go.

Wait a minute.
Now what about Mike and Harriet?

Last time l saw them,
they were in the engine room.

You check the main shaft.

and meet you there.

Howard, you stay with the girls
and wait for Axel.

- Me?
- Stay with Howard.

- No, Hollis, please!
- Stay back!

Hollis!
Wait a minute!

Howard,
