Voodoo Academy (2000) - full transcript
Young Christopher has just enrolled at the prestigious Carmichael Bible College, managed by the somewhat unusual Mrs. Bouvier. After some unexplained disappearances, Christopher does some exploring and discovers that Mrs. Bouvier and the Reverend Carmichael have some very unwholesome intentions for the young men of their school. Will Christopher graduate with his body and soul intact?

(blood bubbling sounds)
-Utter failure
-He wasn't pure
-You were impatient with the
channeling
Process. We can't just attempt
to change him without the
proper preparation
-I know what I'm doing.
-Apparently not, madam.
-Watch the tone, Hollice.
Its not a good idea to forget
who you're working for
-My apologies
-However.
You're correct
my impatience was my own
undoing
They have to be pure in order
for
the ritual to work
Otherwise, this is what
happens
Now we only have five of them
left
-He can be replaced
I'll but the ads in the paper
tomorrow
Though I don't know if
we can have anyone ready for
the ritual by the end of the
week
-We will.
Just be more careful next time
they must be innocent, pure
of mind, pure of body
remember that
-And you're sure you can have
him prepared by
the time the solstice comes
next Sunday night?
-Have some faith, Hollice.
-What do we do about him?
-You know the drill
destroy him
-You're the boss

-Come in!
-Thank you.
-Christopher Sawyer, I
presume. I'm
Mrs Boviea, Chief
administrator of the Carmical
Bible
College, I apologize for the
lack of help out in the front
office but we're still
getting organized. -Thats
fine, thanks.
-Please take a seat, and
I'm almost done reviewing your
application
-Okay. -Would you like a cup
of tea while
you wait? -No, thank you. I'm
fine.
-You look a little Nervous
Mr. Sawyer. -No!
I'm fine, really. -First time?
-Excuse me?
-Is this your first time being
interviewed
by a College? -Uh, yes.
-Well, as we both know, Mr.
Sawyer, this is not
your standard College and this
won't be your standard College
interview
The Carmical
Bible College is an
experimental facility
and we're still trying to work
out
the kinks, so to speak. So
please
bear with me.
-Well, I really admire
Reverand Carmicals work
his writings, I mean. You know
I had
the option to go into
conventional ministry
or priesthood,
-Yes, I know, you have a very
impressive application Mr.
Sawyer.
We get a lot of young men
who seem to think that this
place is an easy way to
get a conventional college
education
It isn't. What we look for
is someone who is serious
enough about theology
to benifit from our unique
study program
I see here, you
spent a few years as a student
Sunday School teacher, as well
as
being active in extra
curricular bible
studies and maintaining an
above average
GPA in your secular studies,
very impressive
I'm sure
that you had your pick of
conventional colleges to choose
from
after high school. -Well
-So why come to
us? Aside from the good
Reverend's teachings
of course?
-Well, I wasn't so sure I
wanted to go
into the typical religious
education
this is a lot more exciting to
me
a lot of Reverend Carmicals
stuff
involves hard science and
religious education
I really believe in it, you
know it really makes sense
to me. And I like the idea
of the small and personalized
curriculum
but...
-Did you have a question?
-Well if you don't mind me
asking ma'am -Ask away.
-Where is everyone?
I mean, when I came in
I thought I'd see a hundred
students or something, but
I didn't see anyone.
-Actually, we
only have five students
enrolled at the present time.
Until two days ago
we had a full roster of six
unfortunately we had
a student who was unhappy with
the curriculum
and decided to leave. Thats
why we're
hoping to enroll a new student
this week
-But...why
only five or six students?
-Like I said, this is an
experimental facility
we haven't even officially
registered
as an educational institution
yet
should our program work out
in the first year, we plan on
expanding into a fully
fledged college, but
Reverend Carmical and myself
feel its best
to keep the first group of
students somewhat small
Is that a problem?
-No, no actually, its kinda
nice, you know, I feel
that I will get more personal
attention that way
-Like what you see so far?
-Huh?
-The facility. Does it seem
like a worthwhile investment
of your time so far
-Oh, yes. Very much
so. -Excellent
because if there are no
further questions
I think its fair to say that
you have
more than passed the
admissions board
-The admissions board?
-That would be me
and that means you're in Mr.
Sawyer. Welcome
to the Carmical Bible College.
Now if you'll just follow me,
I'll give you
a tour of the facility. And
introduce you
to the fellow students you'll
be working and
studying with. Its study hour
right
now, so they should be in
their dorm rooms
(piano music)
-This is the dining room where
you'll be taking your meals
Next year when we open the
college to
full capacity we intend to
hire a chef
but for now, I prepare all the
meals personally.
-You do all the cooking? -does
that
surprise you, Mr. Sawyer?
-No, ma'am, no. I just thought
that
someone in your position
wouldn't want to do all that
-Absolutely! Its
very important to me that my
boys get their proper
nutrition -Yeah but
isn't that a lot of work?
-Before I
inherited this property from
my late husband
I was a restauranteur
I don't mind doing a little
cooking. In fact
I enjoy it. -Wow
I am so sorry about your
husband
-Don't be. he lead a
very full and active life
he was a scientist, did a lot
of research on ancient
religions
Ten years ago he became a
stock holder in Michal College
down the road and
and refurbished this old dorm
building
He was going to
turn it into a lab
-You mean Professor Miles
Boviea. One of the guys
who helped discover the
ingredients
to the fake zombie powder down
in Haiti?
-One and the same. He'd be
pleased to know
someone remembered his work
as it turned out, his research
on the
zombie powder uncovered
new and better anesthetic
chemicals
and psychotherapy drugs that
pushed
the pharmaceutical sciences
ten years into the
future. He was a very
rich and successful man
-What happened
I mean, if you don't mind me
asking...
-Unfortunately, soon after
he purchased this building, he
became very ill
and after he died
I was faced with the choice of
either selling it off
or paying taxes on
an otherwise worthless
property
Fortunately, Reverend Carmical
came along and had the
forsight
to turn this facility into
a worthwhile investment that I
know my husband
would be proud of -So you're a
devout member of Reverend
Carmical's religion?
-Of course I am, as I am sure
many
many others soon will be. Its
the
religion for the new millenium
-When will I get to meet
Reverend Carmical?
-Soon enough
He usually tries to keep his
distance
from his students outside of
the classroom
Normally you would first get
to meet him
when you have your first class
with him
Now, if you'll follow
me, I'll show you where you'll
be sleeping and
spending most of your free
time and
hopefully introduce you to
your new housemates
(church bell)
-Hello, boys. Working hard?
-Yeah, everybody accept Billy.
He's in the internet
-Hey!
-I hope you're persuing the
religious websites, Mr. Parker
-Uh, sure Mrs B
-Thats Mrs. Boviea, Billy.
-Right, Mrs. Boviea.
-The Sci-Fi
academy chat room
hardly qualifies as religious
studies,
Mr. Parker. I trust that
you and Reverend Carmical will
have plenty
to discuss in your next one on
one discipline meeting
in the meantime, please
use your study time to brush
up on your
theological text. -Yes
Mrs. Boviea.
-Well, everyone, this is
Christopher Sawyer, I've just
had the
extreme pleasure of accepting
his application to our
school, which means, he'll be
your
new dormmate. and
this is Billy Parker, whom
you've already seen
in action. -Hey, Christopher!
Better run while you still
can!
-Very funny, Mr. Parker. Its a
shame we're not
grading you on your wit. -Oh!
Why
cause I'd get an easy 4.0?
-I think you're grading
yourself a
little high. Mr. Parker
is somewhat the class clown of
the group
thankfully, he's a little more
serious about
his studies. And
this is Rusty Sankovitch, he
had
a full scholarship to central
university
but chose to pursue his
education with us
I think we're very lucky to
have him.
-Whats up Christopher? -Hi.
-And this is Mike McCreedy, a
former Catholic
school honor student. -How are
you? -Hello.
-You and Mike would have a lot
in common
He too was dis-satisfied with
Catholicism
and came to us for a more
challenging education
-Sam?
Sam! -Its a Chris
Veraqous movie, I swear! -Its
alright, Mr. Velara.
I just wanted to introduce you
to your new
classmate, Sam Velera, meet
Christopher Sawyer. Mr. Velara
was an aspiring rock musician.
With any luck, we should be
able to afford a music
department
within the next couple years
-I hope so, the only person I
can jam with now is Billy
and he sings like a horse.
-Hay!
-Boys!
Last but not least, we have
Paul Saint Claire
During Highschool, Mr. Saint
Claire
had something of a problem
interacting with
others, however, we've been
able to
provide him with an excellent
learning environment
here at the Carmical Bible
College
-Hi
-Nice to meet you
-Well, now that we've gotten
the introductions out of the
way
I'll leave you to get settled
in and
get aquatinted with your new
schoolmates
Ah, Reverend Carmical's next
class starts
in a half an hour, and you'll
get to meet him there
Any questions before I leave
you
to the wolves? -No,
I should be fine, and, thank
you so
much, Mrs Boviea for
everything. -My pleasure
Christopher, and welcome abord
-WELCOME ABORD CHRISTOPHER
-Very funny, guys
-Just giving you a little bit
of a hard time
there, Crisco -Thats
Christopher
-Hey, I'm just trying
to get under your skin,
Cocheeze
-Just ignore Billy
see, Billy is mind over
matter. We don't
mind and Billy doesn't matter
-Oh, you love me, Rusty! Admit
it!
-Billy's good for breaking up
the monotony
around here. -This place is
pretty
boring. -Well,
We're boring
-I'll second that motion
-We don't drink, don't smoke,
and don't do drugs
-And despite what Billy wants
you to
Think, he doesn't even
download pornography
off the internet. -Sad but
true
We're all Pat Boone clones
around here
total Mousecateers
-You look like you're gonna
fit right in
-Seriously
things are that straight laced
around here?
-Its part of the screening
process
They wanna make sure everyone
is 100%
behind their beliefs. Thats
why I
decided to come here. -Me too
-So what is the Reverend
Carmical
like?
-Guess you're about to find
out for yourself
(creepy music)
(church bell)
-So where are the classrooms?
-This IS the classroom
-Well, I thought they would
have a couple regular
classes to go along with our
religious studies
-Its bible school
they're likely to make us
sleepy
-Hello, men
I trust you spent your study
time wisely -Yes sir
-I also trust you
have done your best to welcome
our new arrival
Mr. Sawyer. What about it,
Son?
They treating you okay? -Yes,
Sir!
-Thats what we like to hear
Mr. Sawyer here is an above
average student
of religion, as you all are
I hope that you will continue
to
show him the same respect that
you show eachother
we've increased our admission
standards since Mr. Godfry saw
fit to leave
our fine establishment last
week
I can assure you all that Mr.
Sawyer here
is truly the cream of the crop
Of course
I should probably get around
to introducing myself
I'm Reverend
Holice Carmical, founder of
the
Neurocystic Christianity
Church
as well as this facility for
alternative bible
studies. -I'm a huge advocate
of your work
Reverend. -Good, then we know
where we all stand. As I'm
sure
you know, the Neurocysitc
Church has gained quite
a following on the coast, and
that's allowed me
to open up this facility.
I have a practical education
as a
teacher, and I try to mix that
with a more
traditional method of
spreading the word
of God. You and your class
mates have been chosen from
hundreds of submissions
you have the unique
opportunity
of helping augment my religion
with a facility that will help
build the
religious leaders of tomorrow
Ask my boys here
they'll tell you
I'm tough but fair
you have to be tough to
support your beliefs in this
day and age
My work has been questioned by
everyone
from the Catholic church to
the United States
Senate. I can
tell you, not one of these
authority
figures has been able to shut
down my church
disgrace my work
or find fault with my personal
history
this is not a scam
I practice what I preach
And what is it that we preach,
Mr McCreedy?
-Man is the creation of God
and science is also the
creation of God
-Exactly. Neurocystic
Christianity is the belief
that the more advanced
mankind's technology
becomes, the closer to God man
kind becomes. We
use the hard sciences, as well
as
psychology and traditional
Christianity
to commune with the lord and
help bring ourselves closer to
Him
why, I can show you cases we
have on file
of certain members of our
congregation who have
overcome debilitating illness
drug habits, physical
and psychological
abnormalities
and these aren't frauds
perpetrated by some tent show
revivalist
but hard, cold
technological facts
what we will learn here is a
great deal more
than how Jesus turned water to
wine
or what chapter or verse
of the bible details the fall
of the Pharos
here you will learn a new way
of life. A new and better way
of thinking
and when you leave here, I
promise
you will be more empowered
than most men
Now that we have six of you
a full roster of young men for
our first curriculum
I'll begin to employ my
methods
in earnest. What you see
here is the Neurocystic
Church's version
of the confessional. An
enclosed
purely technological
environment that
will allow you to purify
yourself by purging
your sins. -To who, Reverend?
-To me, Mr Sankovich
Once a day, every day
I'll have one of you enter the
booth during class
and confess your sins to me
we will continue to do this
until you
have been cleansed of fault,
and can be purely objective
about your
future actions. -like
Catholicism?
-Not quite. In the
Catholic religion,
confessional only
relieves the burden of sin, it
doesn't resolve it
in Neurocysem, the process
of confessional irradicates
the sin
teaches you not to sin again
-Dear Diary, I never thought
this
could happen to me! -Any
questions so
far?
-Yes, Mr Sankovich
-Um.
What if we don't have any
sins?
-Son, we are all guilty of
sins
No matter how small it may
seem to you
you, me, the guy down the
steet
it doesnt matter. -But I mean
well, I don't think I've done
anything wrong
I haven't broken the ten
commandments
or anything like that.
-Nonsense!
Theres more to this than the
basic ten
commandments. Theres the
sins of every day life. The
sins of human need.
Why, Mr. Sankovich, you could
easily be
accused of having committed
the sin of pride.
The sin of Narcissism -But I'm
not!
-You lift weights! You take
excessive pride in your
appearance. Its one thing to
stay fit
but you've taken this practice
to access
-But doesn't the bible say
the body is like Gods temple?
-Son, do you measure your
biceps?
Do you check your
physic in the mirror? -But I
don't
-Yeah, Reverend
I do.
-Then you've but the
love of self over the love of
God.
And you've sinned.
And you must pay for your sins
as we all eventually do
you are all sinners.
No matter what you man think,
as Mr. Sankovich
here has also thought, you are
far
less perfect than you believe.
And only I can fix that for
you
Only I can bring you
closer to God
Mr. Sankovich, you shall go
first
-I want you
to step into the booth
I'll step into the other side
and
act as your confessor
What is it, Mr. Sankovich?
-I have to sit in there? -Its
confessional, son, it won't
hurt you. I promise.
Everything you confess to me
will be kept in the strictest
of confidence
-But what about all the wires?
-Electromagnetic conduction
haven't you read the chapters
in my last book on
electromagnetic
energy? About how
it aligns your life energy
-Yes I have, but, you know, I
thought that was
for medical purposes, not
spiritual ones.
-Yes, some. But when you use
electromagnetism in medicine.
What is it used for?
-Healing purposes?
-This is healing, son.
Healing of the soul. Please.
step into the booth
-This will take about ten
minutes or
so. I suggest that those of
you
who are unfamiliar with the
electromagnetic
process use this time to
study from the necessary
chapters of my last book
-This is the first time
I heard about a confessional.
-Keep it down, Mike
he's gonna hear you.
-BullSHIT!
-What did you just say?
-Take that candycane out of
your ass, MIKE
save the prim and proper stuff
for when the
rev comes out, would you?
-I'm not kidding, BILLY. You
might not be serious about
getting an education here but
I am
I don't wanna see anybody else
get tossed out like Blake did.
-Oh, Woop-de-do. Oh, what am I
not gonna go to heaven because
I said the word bullshit?
Oh! I mean, I must have missed
that part in the bible where
it says, thou shalt not
say bullshit.
-Thats not what I meant,
Billy. It does say
you're not supposed to
Blaspheme.
-OH, come on.The word shit is
not Blaspheme
for Christ's sake.
-Well I tried. If you get
tossed, its on you.
-Oh, hey, thanks a lot
Big Brother, but I think I can
take care of
myself now. -Okay guys! Knock
it off!
Mike, you know Billy is just
doing the same old shock value
routine to get a rise out of
you
Billy just, shut up okay?
-Guys...
I bet its some kind of a test.
I know it.
-You think everything is a
test, Paul
-Reverend Carmical leaves us
alone for five or
ten minutes to see what we do
behind his back
thats exactly what it is. And
Billy
is gonna get in trouble for
using bad language
-Oh, man. Stop being such a
wet blanket
Ugh! Nobody cares
if I use bad language. -I do!
-Billy, we came here to get
away from stupid attitudes
know what I mean? -Guys, does
anyone
care if the new guy gets in on
the discussion?
-I wish it was a discussion.
Its more like
a spiritual pissing contest.
-Stop talking like that,
Billy. -Look, look
All I was gonna say, is that
I don't remember anything
about a
confessional in any of
Reverend Carmicals writings
-Its probably something new
the reverend came up with
he does stuff like this all
the time. Thats why the
class is so small. He's trying
out
his teachings to see what
works
-Yeah. Maybe he's giving Rusty
a new brain
or a brain at all
couldn't hurt, the way I see
it!
-Listen
you want a role model on what
not
to do around this place? Go
see Billy.
I mean he's basically a good
guy, but
he is desperate to get thrown
out of this place.
-So why is he here?
-I dunno. Just
consider yourself warned
We all like him but none of us
can deal with him
except Sam, and Sam
deals with everybody.
-I have a bad feeling about
this. -Its just confessional
Paul! -I wonder if it hurts.
-No, its kinda like the seam
eater in
scientology. The level of
electricity
isn't strong enough to do
anything physically
I mean, one of those little
balls
you buy at sharper image has
more juice in it than that
-Well, Champ! Why does
it have to have any
electricity in it? I mean
what is it just for shits and
giggles or what?
-Well its a pretty recent
innovation
but a lot of new religions
believe that the
electricity can realign your
lifes energies
stimulate your physicality.
You know, they believe
that the soul is nothing but
pure energy
and can be altered by outside
energy
that kind of stuff. -Like new
age crystals!
-Exactly. -How would you know?
-Because I have studied it for
a couple years
thats how. -Wait a minute!
Let mew get this straight.
So you're saying, that old
Rusty
the muscle head is going to go
into that booth back there
and then this huge
magnet is gonna like...un-
kinkle the kinks in his
soul? -Pretty much
-Whoo! Boy! Sounds
a little...you know what I
mean?
-You know, Sometimes I wonder
why you even bother to show up
-Cause I love you
Mikey!!! -I'm being serious!
You question the reverends
methods, you turn
everything me and everybody
else here believes in to one
big joke, you constantly need
to be the center of attention
-Hey! I'm basically here
because
my parents made me go, okay?
and
for your information, SAINT
MIKE
I appreciate everything the
Reverend
has to say. That doesn't mean
I
have to agree with it. Unlike
you, I have a mind
of my own. -Guys!
-What are you trying to say,
Billy, that I'm like some kind
of robot or something?
-Truthfully Mikey-Mike?
You don't wanna know WHAT I
think of you
-The reverend is gonna hear
you two if you dont stop
arguing
-Is the ten minutes up yet?
-Maybe Rusty is dead
-BILLY! -What is taking so
long? I mean
all the guy does all day is
take vitamins and
pump weights. How many sins do
you think
he could pull off?
-Hard at work I see
-Um, Reverend
-Yes, Mr. McCreedy? -We were
all trying to
study but Billy here wouldn't
-I'm sorry Mr McCreedy but I
don't remember asking who
was guilty or not guilty of
following my instructions
seems to me that you
have all disobeyed, even you
Mr. McCreedy. And May I
remind you that God
appreciates no man
setting himself above reproach
Consider this while I curtail
your
freetime for exchange for the
time you have
wasted here. -Yes reverend
-Yes Mr. Sawyer?
-Reverend, I hope this isn't a
worthless question...
-There are no worthless
questions, Mr. Sawyer
Only worthless answers
-Well, I was just wondering,
um
What was going
on in there? -Why don't youask
Mr. Sankovich?
How do you feel, Mr.
Sankovich?
-I feel much
better. -And what happened
while you were inside the
booth, Mr. Sankovich?
-I confessed.
My sins.
-Anything else?
-There was a light!
-You saw a light? -Yes, I did!
A light! -Do you feel pure,
now?
Do you feel as if your
conscious
has been wiped clean?
-Yeah
I feel great
I feel like I could take on
the whole
world! -Must be the stereroids
-You see
The energy inside of
Mr. Sankovich has been
re-aligned.
his soul. His very
essence has been renewed
he is ready to be taught, to
be shaped
to think and to learn as a
true student
of neurocysim. I myself was
the first subject to undergo
this process
and now
I shall pass this knowledge
along with the benefits of the
confessional
onto the rest of you. You see
it is your will, your very
desire to be
purged, mixed with the
scientific
procedure I revolutionized
that will cleanse you
think on these things.
Tomorrow
Mr. McCreedy
whos own self opinion was his
undoing, shall have his turn
in the booth. Until then,
return to your dorm
rooms and study on my
dissertation of
electromagnetism.
Dinner is in one hour. Class
dismissed.
(tense music)
(church bells)
(thunder)
-Oh man. This
is the ticket
My muscles got
massively twisted up today
-Why is the bathroom set up
like this?
-Well, theres a real shower
stall
on the third floor, but, uh
believe it or not, this place
was actually a
legit college dorm room back
in the 50's
problem is, the plumbin
hasn't been messed with since
the 50's
so I guess some pipes burst
one winter
so they strapped this whole
private bathroom
into a weird community tub or
something
Anyway, no one's
got the inclination or the
money
to fix up the old showers.
-Why doesn't
the Reverend pay to have it
fixed up
-You mean, Mrs. Buviea.
She's the money in this deal,
not him.
-I thought the Reverend made
lots
of money off of his teachings
-He probably spent it all on
rayvac batteries
for that freaking phone booth
of his
I don't wanna know
I mean, Mrs. B digs
everything the Reverend is
about, but
she calls the shots around
here, not him
-But why would Mrs. B
spend all that money and
property
on a place like this?
-Well!
On one hand you have a hot
30-something widow. And on the
other hand
you have six strapping
young men. Do the math.
-Shes not really like
that, is she? -I dunno!
Theres some weird stuff going
on around
here. And I don't mean
Carmical's rainbox either
We had a guy here, you know?
right before you showed up?
-Yeah that Godly guy! -Godfry
-Blake Godfry.
Anyways. He was this total
sunday school robot, you know,
like Mike
so I didn't get it when he
decided to just
leave school one day
all I know is
one night, I had to go to the
bathroom
really bad, and I got up
and it was after lights out
got up just in time
to see Blake zippin upstairs
to Mrs. B's apartment
-What! -Yup!
And I'm sure he wasn't going
there for a
special study group, either.
-What do you think happened?
-Well, either he
was asked up there
or...he got a little lonesome
one night and decided to see
if Mrs. Buviea was still
awake. Either way.
that was the last we ever saw
of poor Blake. The next day
they said that Blake had left
school
so I'm guessing he didn't
decide to
leave school like Carmical
keeps saying
Nope. I think he put
one toe over the line
and either Mrs. B or the old
Rev
chucked him out of here with
his stuff
You know they don't tolerate
that kind of stuff here
-You think that this blake guy
was hitting on Mrs.
B? -Either that
or he wasn't hitting on Mrs. B
enough. I dunno.
To me the whole thing is a
little shady
Anyways, my whole thing is
I don't even want to be here
-So why are you here? -Well,
my parents are those big
revivalists
nuts, it was either this or
they were gonna send me
down to that Jesusland in
Florida
God! I wanted to be a doctor
but, you know, thats kind of
tough
when both your parents believe
that the only kind of
medicine is faith healing
So I got the shaft.
Now, I'm living in this
old brick shithouse
rooming with five virgins
and learning about
Big magnets that zap the sin
out of you. Yeehaw! Praise
Jesus. -Hey, knock that off
-Oh, you mean
That? -Haha!
-What are you guys up to?
-Oh, we're waiting for
the steam room Mikey! What
does it look like we're doing?
Hey MIKEY, Nice chest!
What is it, cold in here or
what?
ha! Hey man thats my towel!!!
I needed that!
-Roll around on the rug. -Oh,
HA HA
-Hey did you read the
dissertation? -Yeah
-Oh, SHOOT
the dissertation! I'm so busy
unpacking
I forgot! -UH OH -UH OH
-I just don't wanna make a bad
impression on my first day,
you know?
-Well, I aint no rocket
scientist
but I'd say you're going about
it the wrong way!
-Relax Christopher
I'll let you borrow my notes
(thunder)
-Maybe he smashed his thick
skull in with a
dumb-bell. Maybe
he hit himself green and
became the incredible hulk
-All I'm saying is
Rusty is usually the first one
in the chow line
So, where is he
-Well, I'm sure I'll be up all
night worried about
it. -Thats a good question
Mike, I haven't
seen Rusty anywhere. -Hes
asleep
-Huh?
-Why would he be asleep?
-I dunno. He said he felt
sleepy and he just layed down
-Maybe his brain got fried in
that
phone booth thingie. -I doubt
it
-If something happened to
Rusty at the
Confessional, we would have
known about it right away
-Yeah
it maybe takes a while for the
genetic mutation
to kick in. -Shut up Billy!
-Kids can't we just have one
dinner without you two yelling
at each other?
Its like being at my
folks place for thanksgiving.
-Yeah, every night!
-Exactly, every night its the
same thing
-Wow!
Its Dr. Jeckle and Mr.
Hillfigure. What did you have
yourself a
teenage life crisis while you
were asleep, Rusty?
-Thats a nice tank top
-I just woke up and said fuck
it!
-Is uh, everything okay Rusty?
-Hey guys, I feel better right
now than I have in a long time
-You're not
ON something, are you?
-I'm guessing it has something
to do with
Rusty being his nickname. That
will snap
anyone after a while.
-Well, Mr. Sankovich, lets
just see what happens
when Mr. Carmical sees this
He's gonna hit the roof! -By
who?
The fashion police?
-Hey guys, is there even a
dress code
here? -Well
If Rusty here uses the
F-word in front of the wrong
company, well
thats pretty much grounds for
expulsion
-Woop-de-fuckin-do
(thunder) -Theres only seven
places
set at the table.
Shouldn't there be eight? -How
do you mean?
-Well, theres eight
of us including
Mrs. Buviea and Reverend
Carmical
-Reverend Carmical!
-Reverend Carmical doesn't eat
with the students
Thank you! He has his own
estate down the road and he
usually takes
his meals there.
Well! Soup's on
Dig in. I certainly hope
you enjoy it. Oh! And I have a
special treat for you.
My husband was a connoisseur
This is a very special vintage
worth a small fortune
I would imagine
-What is the occasion for the
booze, Mrs B!?
-Its wine, Mr.
Parker, not booze.
You make it sound like I just
pulled it out of a brown
paper bag.
This is to celebrate the
arrival of our new
student, Mr. Sawyer.
So, we're gonna get trashed!
Say, thats great Mrs. B!
-We most certainly are
not going to get trashed, Mr.
Parker
One glass a piece
-Are you sure
we're allowed, Mrs. Buviea?
-Mr. McCreedy, there's no harm
in drinking
one glass of wine. Do you
think that
there is? -Well
if the reverend doesn't see
anything wrong
with it. -If its any
consolation, I
conferred with the good
Reverend before
I brought the bottle up and he
didn't see anything wrong with
it
-Mrs. Buviea,
do you treat all your new
students this way?
-Mr. Sawyer.
We're excited to finally find
six students
worthy of our time and effort
I'm sure you've heard the name
Blake Godfry from the others
-Yes. -Well, I'm afraid
he wasn't very serious about
his studies and
generally wasn't the right
kind of student for this school
so we had to refund his
enrollment fee and let him go
But! Now I have
the perfect class. And I'd say
that's something to celebrate,
wouldn't you?
-Hello, Rusty!
How do you feel this evening
-Very nice.
I think Reverend Carmical's
Confessional did me
a lot of good. -Excellent
-I dunno, Mrs. Buviea. I mean
Rusty looks like hes on drugs
or something. -Yeah he used to
look like he was just on
steroids. -Now, now
boys. I think its rather nice
that Mr. Sankovich has decided
to
losen up a little bit.
-Are you sure hes not sick or
something?
-I'm fine! Really.
-Gentlemen. I'd like
to propose a toast.
To providence
For finally bringing me the
six of you
-Cheers. -Bottoms up!
-A little class would be nice
here!
-Long life.
-Something wrong Mr. Sawyer?
-No...uh..
I'm just not much of a wine
drinker, thats all
-Well one little glass won't
hurt you, will it?
-I think I'll just stick
to water, thanks.
-Uh, can I have Christopher's
wine, Mrs. B?
-Yes, Christopher
thats fine. Stick to water
if you'd like.
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(thunder)
-Billy?
Billy wake up! You're having
a bad dream
Billy wake up!
Billy you're having a bad
dream
(thunder)
(heartbeats)
(thunder)
(heavy breathing)
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(moaning)
-Thats right, Rusty
follow your urges.
come to me.
(thunder)
-Rusty! Rusty wake up!
Rusty where
are you going?
(thunder, creepy music)
-Suspenseful ambient sounds,
thunder)
-I'm glad you came Rusty.
(heartbeats)
(thunder)
-I chose you to go first,
Rusty. You're so strong.
You're my perfect little boy
-Where am I?
What are you doing?
Mrs. Buviea!
-You came up here to see me!
Don't you remember?
-I was asleep. -What did you
come up here for?
-I don't remember
-Did you come to take me,
Sweet one?
I know what you want
What you need.
-I didn't say... -You can make
me
very happy. And I can
make you even happier
-This isn't right Mrs. Buviea.
-Go ahead, say it. Are you
trying
to seduce me, Mrs. Buviea?
I've always wanted to hear
that one.
And the answer is
YES. I am most definately
trying to seduce you.
(thunder)
-Rusty, where did you go, man?
Shit.
-Do you know why I chose you?
Rusty?
Do you have any idea?
Because you're so
strong.
Because I've dreamt of your
hands
on me. Touching me.
Your kiss
your touch
your heat
thats right
let me in
let me take you
-I can't do this
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Buviea. But I can't. -What do
you mean, you can't?
Don't you want me?
Can't you take what I'm
offering
you? -I just. I don't
wanna do anything that we'll
regret, thats all
-Trust me.
I won't regret it.
But you might.
-I better be going back to bed
-So be it. -Reverend
Carmical! -Hello, Mr.
Sankovich
-Its the confessional Reverend
I gotta get
back to it, I gotta make
everything alright.
-Oh, I'm afraid there won't be
any more
confessionals for you Mr.
Sankovich
(thunder)
(moaning)
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(heavy breathing)
(thunder)
(drums)
(creepy music)
(thunder)
-Can I poor the wine, Madam
-But of course, Hollice
(creepy music)
-Where
am I?
AHH!
(tense, creepy, primal music)
(thunder) -Is it time, Madam?
-Let the ritual begin
(terrifying music)
(slight electric sounds)
-Ah!
ah!
-Man
Uh
ah, ah!
-We must attend to his things.
-Hey, its our first
success. You should feel
proud.
-I won't feel anything until
its all ready
we still have the rest to take
care of
-Considering what we've been
through in the past, I'd say
this is
definitely the first step.
-Work harder tomorrow
I'm growing impatient. -But..
-But nothing Holiice!
Its clear that the problem has
been taken care of
and now you have to help me
complete the ritual
Bring them to me
I'll help you pack up their
belongings
-Yes madam. -Whos turn
is it tomorrow?
-Mike McCreedy's
-Excellent. I'll be glad to
see that one
go.
-Rusty!
Dolls...
what in the hell?
(church bells)
-Good morning
-Good mornin
-what, no..smart comment?
-Nope
-Whats with the clothes?
-Eh,
my button down is getting a
little restrictive, so
I changed into this.
No big deal
-kinda like Rusty did last
night
-like who?
-you know, Rusty? the big
Muscle bound guy that you
always make fun of...
Sleeps in the same room with
us
Ring a bell? -Yeah
Rusty, right.
-Is something wrong
Billy?
-No, why do you ask?
Actually
I feel better than I've ever
felt before
in my life.
-You don't remember having any
Nightmares last night?
-Nope
-Slept like a log
-Yeah. Thats why you kept me
up all last
night tossing and turning. You
were having some bad
dream or something?
-Must have been the wine
-Look.
We've gotta talk, Billy
-About what?
-Last night, I saw Rusty walk
out
of the room, just like you
told me that Blake Godfry
guy had done before I got
here.
Do you remember that? -I
remember Blake got expelled
But I don't remember
why.
-What are you talking
about.You're the one who told
me about Blake!
-Man, calm down, will you?
Look, maybe I did
Maybe I didn't. -No, I'm not
gonna calm down
alright? Somethings going down
here and
I don't know what it is, but
last night all
five of you guys were tossing
and turning
and then Rusty got out and
walked away in his
underwear.
-Haha,What! -Yeah, so
I followed him, you know, to
see if he was just sleepwalking
or something, but then I saw
Mrs.
Buviea and the Reverend up in
the attic and they were talking
about all this crazy ass stuff
-Sounds to me like you were
snooping, Christopher.
-Man, what is
WITH you! You've like, totally
changed
its like somebody has
brainwashed you or something
-No! Look, maybe I don't
wanna act like a jerk all the
time just to get attention
-Listen to me
something is going on up
there. They've got
a lab. I saw
it. And up in the lab theres
this table, and on the table
there was this cloth
and underneath the cloth,
there was these
six slots
same number as us
and they put a doll
in one of the slots
-Should we call the police?
-Listen to me, Billy
Six slots. Six of
us. And they put a doll
in each slot
and Rusty never came back to
bed last night
either. I waited up all night
for him and
he never came back! -Look
if Rusty ran for the hills
last night
its his problem, not mine
its not yours, either.
-Hey guys, whats up?
-Hey Mike! Hows it hangin?
-Little boys don't know, but
little girls
they understand, right big
Bill?
-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
HERE, GUYS?
-Whats wrong with you?
-We're just being a little
free today, thats all
no biggie. -huh! Gang?
I think Christopher has
finally lost his mind!
I think that
the school has fried his last
active brain cell
-Man you guys should have
heard
the conversation we were
having right before you guys
showed up
-Whats wrong Christopher?
-My, don't we all look good
today.
-Thanks, Mrs. Buviea
So do you. -Thank you
Michael. Something
wrong, Mr. Sawyer?
-Christopher here seems to
think
that Rusty was
killed in some freak
sleepwalking accident last
night
-Hahaha,
My, what an interesting
imagination you have
Mr. Sawyer. -You know Billy,
he's just joking
-Well Despite Mr. Sawyer's
flights
of fancy, I can tell you for a
fact that
Thank you! That something did
happen to Mr.
Sankovich last night after
lights out.
Evidentially, he had a very
bad
drug dependancy, and snuck
into the bathroom to smoke a
Marijuana Cigarette.
I could smell it all the way
up
in my apartment and so
I came down to investigate.
Thats
when I discovered Mr.
Sankovich getting high
and thats the kind of thing I
just don't tolerate
So he was escorted
off the premises late last
night by the police
Fortunately the police were
discrete enough about the
matter
and they didn't wake any of
you up
Mr. Sankovich, needless to
say,
will not be returning to the
school
as a result of what he's done
Is there a problem Mr. Sawyer
-No ma'am
-He'll be fine, Christopher
You're just getting used to a
new
place and staying with
strangers. All these uneasy
feelings will ease up in a few
days
count on it.
( church bell )
-Nows the time for quiet
I'm about to
admit that I failed you
Yes, I myself have failed my
students
and worse, I failed the lord
our God. I've committed
the sin of Pride.
Yes, Mr. Parker, you may
speak.
-How have you sinned,
Reverend?
-Mr. Parker, I was smug
I believe that
my machinery was so fail-safe
that I didn't commit myself
100%
to yesterday's confessional
and in my sin of pride, I
overlooked
the depth of Mr. Sankovich's
flaws.
I did not realize,
despite the extensive blood
research that our school
requires, despite the
many days of taking his words
and his actions
at face value
Mr. Sankovich was hiding from
us a severe
narcotic dependancy.
-Are you going to enroll
another student?
-No, I will not integrate
anyone else into this
group, until I can be certain
that there will be no more
problems, such as we've had
with both Mr. Sankovich
and Mr. Godfry. And for the
rest of you, I fully intend to
work harder and more carefully
to make sure to erase the sin
and and flaws from
your moral character.
Beginning today, men.
Beginning with you
Mr. McCreedy.
Get to your feet
its time for your confessional
Step inside, Son. This time
I won't fail you. I promise.
-Yes Reverend
-As for the rest of you
I suggest you use this time to
study from your textbook
I do not want you disobeying
me
like you did yesterday, is
that understood?
-Yes Reverend
-Look, guys
We gotta talk
(creepy music)
-Can you hear me Mr. McCreedy?
-Yes Reverend
-I want you to close your eyes
Are they closed?
-Yes Reverend
-Can you feel the energy
inside
your booth, Mr. McCreedy
-Yes
Reverend, its making my heart
jump
-Thats perfectly natural
Its aligning
your life energy. Its changing
you. Just let it do its work.
-Yes Reverend.
-Start with
a series of simple questions
The first one
Have you committed any sins
-No, no,
none that I know of
-Have you stolen?
-no!
-have you lied
Mr. McCreedy? Have you
deceived
-No!
-Have you lusted, Mr. McCreedy
Confess your lust to me, Mr.
McCreedy
Its perfectly natural, its
alright
-Yes
-Do you touch yourself in the
night, Mr. McCreedy?
-Yes! -What do you think about
when you touch yourself, Mr.
McCreedy?
What excites you?
What makes you want
to touch yourself?
-I don't know
-open your shirt Mr. McCreedy
Put your hands on
your body
Show me how you touch yourself
-Oh!
-Do you want me?
(creepy music)
-Who am I speaking with?
-Me, Michael.
Purveyor of your dreams
the tongue inside
your mouth
the hands on your body
you want me more than anything
in the world
-Anything in the world?
-I know you've
watched me Michael
you wonder what my lips
taste like. You like
the way I look
I'm the one who shaped you
Micheal, Molded you
Watched over you every night
you
will come to me tonight, won't
you Micheal?
-Yes!
-Who owns you, Michael?
-You!
You are my Queen
-And you
are my beautiful little boy,
Micheal!
Tonight I shall
have you.
Remember that.
-Christopher
You're way in over your head,
here
Look what happened to Rusty
-Thats what I was saying!
Rusty is still here somewhere
Guys! -Like, how?
-It has something to do with
what ever
is going on in that
confessional. -Oh, man
Not this stupid doll thing
again.
-Look, Christopher
You're a nice guy We all like
you.
But, this is too much man.
- I think you have some
personal issue you have to deal
with.
-Yeah, it's just not fair to
the rest of us.
- Ah, hold on guys.
Why don't you just go open
Mikes booth right now if
you're so sure.
Peek inside.
-Okay... Okay
I will! (tense music)
- What are doing!?
-I was just.. -He was gonna
show us what was going on in
there.
He says that you and
Mrs. Buviea did something bad
to Rusty.
and then you put some weird
doll
in the attic.
-That you tried to disrupt my
teachings
is not what angers me. What
angers me is your deliberate
disobedience of my
instructions
And that you've chosen to
spend the time
that I was helping Mr.
McCreedy confess his sins
spreading poison and lies
about
myself, Mrs. Buviea and this
institution.
Don't we have enough to deal
with?
Have I or anyone else caused
you
pain? Deceived you? Done
nothing
but befriend and encourage
your quest for knowledge
-Why don't you show everybody
whats up in the attic
-Excuse me? -I said
why don't you show everybody
what is up in the attic?
If I'm lying, then I'm lying
But I don't think I am
And neither
do you.
-You have no idea what you're
messing with here, son.
I wish it was easy
as expelling you because you
got yourself and everyone else
into a whole lot of trouble
but we're way passed that.
You're here
to stay.
I confront you with your
trespasses
and you counter with more lies
How sick have you become, Mr.
Sawyer?
How much pain
do you wish to inflict upon
us. -you must
punish him Reverend! -Yeah!
Punish him.
-Wait, wait! What are you
gonna do
with me!
(tense music)
Oh! No!
(banging on door)
No!
(tense music)
-That you, Sam?
Uh, if you need
to wash up I'll be out of the
tub in a minute, alright?
Just gimme a second. -Just
relax
Its just you
and me
-reverend?
-Shh
Just lay back and relax
-I thought
I thought you were gone for
the evening
-I came back
just for you
-What are you doing, Reverend?
-Mrs. Buviea
wanted me to speed things up
just a bit
Don't worry
It won't hurt
-huh?
(dramatic music)
-You're gonna make her very
happy. Hahaha.
(tense music builds)
(heavy breathing)
-Sick
bitch has been watching us!
(tense music)
(thunder)
(music with an air of mystery)
-Stop! Mike!
(shocking noise)
(shocking noise)
-I'm glad you came, Michael
is there something I can do
for you
tonight?
-Yes
-Then come in.
(tense music)
-Do you want me, Micheal?
-Yes
-Are you nice, Michael?
Will you be nice?
Make me warm?
There, thats it
Now just lay back
lay back and let me do all
the work to my sweet
wonderful
-Mrs. Buviea! -Lay back, sweet
one
This is our time
Micheal.
Yours and mine
(tense music)
-Wait! What are you gonna do
with me?
-Just relax. It doesn't hurt
So long as you're a pure
sweet virgin.
Sauce for the stew, my love.
Special ingredient my
late husband discovered on one
of his adventures
-ah!
Ugh!
(demonic voice)-I need all six
of you, Micheal!
First I
took Rusty, then
Paul, and now I take you.
Tomorrow I'll take your
friend Christopher.
When I offer Pecuto my six
fine dolls who will grant the
power
over all the dead souls buried
in the earth
An army of Zombies
more powerful and terrifying
than any army of mans
Think of it!
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(music builds)
-Place him in the Oracle,
Hollice. -Ah!
-We have another offering for
Pecuto tonight
(creepy music)
Go and get young Chrisopher
I don't think I want
to bother waiting until
tomorrow, after all
-You're the boss
(tense music)
-Well well well
Looks like somebody just
couldn't stay put
what an awful
sinning little boy you are,
Mr. Sawyer
You know you're not supposed
to be here, right? I mean
how else do you think I keep
tabs
on you boys while I'm supposed
to clean
the confessional booth.
-Whats going on Reverend?
-You're not gonna have to ask
that question
in about 8 seconds, don't you
know?
You're gonna live it
-What, NO!
(tense music)
(thunder) -Curiosity killed
the cat
Mr. Sawyer. You've been most
most curious about things that
were better left
alone.
Its actually a shame, you
know?
the other boys never felt a
thing
but then they had the benefit
of being prepared for the
ritual
wine and confessional
all part of being prepared for
the beast. But you
You, on the other hand
get to do the whole thing wide
awake
and I understand that its
most unpleasant
very, very painful
-Yeah, I bet you're real
heartbroke, aren't you?
-I'm not doing this to torture
you, Christopher. I love all
my
babies. But you're just a
means
to an end. My husband
discovered
a lot of very interesting
things down in Haiti
Some were cold, hard
scientific fact
and others were things
that science could never
explain or control
Poor thing. Thats what killed
him, you know?
-You sure it wasn't you that
killed him?
-Haha!
What a wicked boy you are,
Christopher
No.
He tried to tap into Pecuto.
Into the
ritual of turning sacrificial
virgins
into dolls to give Pecuto
their innocent souls to feed
upon
In exchange for Pecuto's power
over the dead, but
science ruined it all for him
and in the end, Pecuto was
very
displeased
and so, I carried on
the good work. I created
a fake religion. Put my dear
friend Carmical into the roll
of
a dime store L Rod Hubbard and
Presto!
what better way to lure pure
young boys into my fold
than to open up a high-tech
bible school
-What about seducing
them? Is that part of your
ritual, too?
-I take pride in my work.
-Theres one problem
-And whats that
-I'm not a virgin!
-What?
Hollice you told me he was
PURE! -He's bluffing.
Cant you see that?
(dramatic music)
-OOH!
-THE WINE THE WINE IS GONE!
OH MY GOD, WE'RE GONNA CHANGE
-I heard noises, whats going
on?
-Man Christopher was right!
-You ruined everything!
You little bastard! -What the
fuck
is going on here? -I dunno but
we
don't want to stick around and
find out, come on lets go!
(thunder, dramatic music)
-Jesus Christopher.
You were right. About the
dolls and Rusty
disappearing. Everything.
-Thats okay.
I was gonna go to business
school
anyway
(credits music)
(thunder)
(crickets, more thunder)
(spooky piano music)
(thunder)
(ominous chord)
(creepy music)
(more thunder and spooky
sounds)
-What are you doing to her?
(squeeking leather, thunder)
(thunder)
(organ music)
-What is it?
What are you doing?
(thunder, creepy music)
-What are you doing?
-What are you doing?
(creepy music building
tension)
(blood bubbling sounds)
-Utter failure
-He wasn't pure
-You were impatient with the
channeling
Process. We can't just attempt
to change him without the
proper preparation
-I know what I'm doing.
-Apparently not, madam.
-Watch the tone, Hollice.
Its not a good idea to forget
who you're working for
-My apologies
-However.
You're correct
my impatience was my own
undoing
They have to be pure in order
for
the ritual to work
Otherwise, this is what
happens
Now we only have five of them
left
-He can be replaced
I'll but the ads in the paper
tomorrow
Though I don't know if
we can have anyone ready for
the ritual by the end of the
week
-We will.
Just be more careful next time
they must be innocent, pure
of mind, pure of body
remember that
-And you're sure you can have
him prepared by
the time the solstice comes
next Sunday night?
-Have some faith, Hollice.
-What do we do about him?
-You know the drill
destroy him
-You're the boss
(creepy music)
(Church Bells)
(depressing music)
(sounds of water)
(creepy music)
-Come in!
-Thank you.
-Christopher Sawyer, I
presume. I'm
Mrs Boviea, Chief
administrator of the Carmical
Bible
College, I apologize for the
lack of help out in the front
office but we're still
getting organized. -Thats
fine, thanks.
-Please take a seat, and
I'm almost done reviewing your
application
-Okay. -Would you like a cup
of tea while
you wait? -No, thank you. I'm
fine.
-You look a little Nervous
Mr. Sawyer. -No!
I'm fine, really. -First time?
-Excuse me?
-Is this your first time being
interviewed
by a College? -Uh, yes.
-Well, as we both know, Mr.
Sawyer, this is not
your standard College and this
won't be your standard College
interview
The Carmical
Bible College is an
experimental facility
and we're still trying to work
out
the kinks, so to speak. So
please
bear with me.
-Well, I really admire
Reverand Carmicals work
his writings, I mean. You know
I had
the option to go into
conventional ministry
or priesthood,
-Yes, I know, you have a very
impressive application Mr.
Sawyer.
We get a lot of young men
who seem to think that this
place is an easy way to
get a conventional college
education
It isn't. What we look for
is someone who is serious
enough about theology
to benifit from our unique
study program
I see here, you
spent a few years as a student
Sunday School teacher, as well
as
being active in extra
curricular bible
studies and maintaining an
above average
GPA in your secular studies,
very impressive
I'm sure
that you had your pick of
conventional colleges to choose
from
after high school. -Well
-So why come to
us? Aside from the good
Reverend's teachings
of course?
-Well, I wasn't so sure I
wanted to go
into the typical religious
education
this is a lot more exciting to
me
a lot of Reverend Carmicals
stuff
involves hard science and
religious education
I really believe in it, you
know it really makes sense
to me. And I like the idea
of the small and personalized
curriculum
but...
-Did you have a question?
-Well if you don't mind me
asking ma'am -Ask away.
-Where is everyone?
I mean, when I came in
I thought I'd see a hundred
students or something, but
I didn't see anyone.
-Actually, we
only have five students
enrolled at the present time.
Until two days ago
we had a full roster of six
unfortunately we had
a student who was unhappy with
the curriculum
and decided to leave. Thats
why we're
hoping to enroll a new student
this week
-But...why
only five or six students?
-Like I said, this is an
experimental facility
we haven't even officially
registered
as an educational institution
yet
should our program work out
in the first year, we plan on
expanding into a fully
fledged college, but
Reverend Carmical and myself
feel its best
to keep the first group of
students somewhat small
Is that a problem?
-No, no actually, its kinda
nice, you know, I feel
that I will get more personal
attention that way
-Like what you see so far?
-Huh?
-The facility. Does it seem
like a worthwhile investment
of your time so far
-Oh, yes. Very much
so. -Excellent
because if there are no
further questions
I think its fair to say that
you have
more than passed the
admissions board
-The admissions board?
-That would be me
and that means you're in Mr.
Sawyer. Welcome
to the Carmical Bible College.
Now if you'll just follow me,
I'll give you
a tour of the facility. And
introduce you
to the fellow students you'll
be working and
studying with. Its study hour
right
now, so they should be in
their dorm rooms
(piano music)
-This is the dining room where
you'll be taking your meals
Next year when we open the
college to
full capacity we intend to
hire a chef
but for now, I prepare all the
meals personally.
-You do all the cooking? -does
that
surprise you, Mr. Sawyer?
-No, ma'am, no. I just thought
that
someone in your position
wouldn't want to do all that
-Absolutely! Its
very important to me that my
boys get their proper
nutrition -Yeah but
isn't that a lot of work?
-Before I
inherited this property from
my late husband
I was a restauranteur
I don't mind doing a little
cooking. In fact
I enjoy it. -Wow
I am so sorry about your
husband
-Don't be. he lead a
very full and active life
he was a scientist, did a lot
of research on ancient
religions
Ten years ago he became a
stock holder in Michal College
down the road and
and refurbished this old dorm
building
He was going to
turn it into a lab
-You mean Professor Miles
Boviea. One of the guys
who helped discover the
ingredients
to the fake zombie powder down
in Haiti?
-One and the same. He'd be
pleased to know
someone remembered his work
as it turned out, his research
on the
zombie powder uncovered
new and better anesthetic
chemicals
and psychotherapy drugs that
pushed
the pharmaceutical sciences
ten years into the
future. He was a very
rich and successful man
-What happened
I mean, if you don't mind me
asking...
-Unfortunately, soon after
he purchased this building, he
became very ill
and after he died
I was faced with the choice of
either selling it off
or paying taxes on
an otherwise worthless
property
Fortunately, Reverend Carmical
came along and had the
forsight
to turn this facility into
a worthwhile investment that I
know my husband
would be proud of -So you're a
devout member of Reverend
Carmical's religion?
-Of course I am, as I am sure
many
many others soon will be. Its
the
religion for the new millenium
-When will I get to meet
Reverend Carmical?
-Soon enough
He usually tries to keep his
distance
from his students outside of
the classroom
Normally you would first get
to meet him
when you have your first class
with him
Now, if you'll follow
me, I'll show you where you'll
be sleeping and
spending most of your free
time and
hopefully introduce you to
your new housemates
(church bell)
-Hello, boys. Working hard?
-Yeah, everybody accept Billy.
He's in the internet
-Hey!
-I hope you're persuing the
religious websites, Mr. Parker
-Uh, sure Mrs B
-Thats Mrs. Boviea, Billy.
-Right, Mrs. Boviea.
-The Sci-Fi
academy chat room
hardly qualifies as religious
studies,
Mr. Parker. I trust that
you and Reverend Carmical will
have plenty
to discuss in your next one on
one discipline meeting
in the meantime, please
use your study time to brush
up on your
theological text. -Yes
Mrs. Boviea.
-Well, everyone, this is
Christopher Sawyer, I've just
had the
extreme pleasure of accepting
his application to our
school, which means, he'll be
your
new dormmate. and
this is Billy Parker, whom
you've already seen
in action. -Hey, Christopher!
Better run while you still
can!
-Very funny, Mr. Parker. Its a
shame we're not
grading you on your wit. -Oh!
Why
cause I'd get an easy 4.0?
-I think you're grading
yourself a
little high. Mr. Parker
is somewhat the class clown of
the group
thankfully, he's a little more
serious about
his studies. And
this is Rusty Sankovitch, he
had
a full scholarship to central
university
but chose to pursue his
education with us
I think we're very lucky to
have him.
-Whats up Christopher? -Hi.
-And this is Mike McCreedy, a
former Catholic
school honor student. -How are
you? -Hello.
-You and Mike would have a lot
in common
He too was dis-satisfied with
Catholicism
and came to us for a more
challenging education
-Sam?
Sam! -Its a Chris
Veraqous movie, I swear! -Its
alright, Mr. Velara.
I just wanted to introduce you
to your new
classmate, Sam Velera, meet
Christopher Sawyer. Mr. Velara
was an aspiring rock musician.
With any luck, we should be
able to afford a music
department
within the next couple years
-I hope so, the only person I
can jam with now is Billy
and he sings like a horse.
-Hay!
-Boys!
Last but not least, we have
Paul Saint Claire
During Highschool, Mr. Saint
Claire
had something of a problem
interacting with
others, however, we've been
able to
provide him with an excellent
learning environment
here at the Carmical Bible
College
-Hi
-Nice to meet you
-Well, now that we've gotten
the introductions out of the
way
I'll leave you to get settled
in and
get aquatinted with your new
schoolmates
Ah, Reverend Carmical's next
class starts
in a half an hour, and you'll
get to meet him there
Any questions before I leave
you
to the wolves? -No,
I should be fine, and, thank
you so
much, Mrs Boviea for
everything. -My pleasure
Christopher, and welcome abord
-WELCOME ABORD CHRISTOPHER
-Very funny, guys
-Just giving you a little bit
of a hard time
there, Crisco -Thats
Christopher
-Hey, I'm just trying
to get under your skin,
Cocheeze
-Just ignore Billy
see, Billy is mind over
matter. We don't
mind and Billy doesn't matter
-Oh, you love me, Rusty! Admit
it!
-Billy's good for breaking up
the monotony
around here. -This place is
pretty
boring. -Well,
We're boring
-I'll second that motion
-We don't drink, don't smoke,
and don't do drugs
-And despite what Billy wants
you to
Think, he doesn't even
download pornography
off the internet. -Sad but
true
We're all Pat Boone clones
around here
total Mousecateers
-You look like you're gonna
fit right in
-Seriously
things are that straight laced
around here?
-Its part of the screening
process
They wanna make sure everyone
is 100%
behind their beliefs. Thats
why I
decided to come here. -Me too
-So what is the Reverend
Carmical
like?
-Guess you're about to find
out for yourself
(creepy music)
(church bell)
-So where are the classrooms?
-This IS the classroom
-Well, I thought they would
have a couple regular
classes to go along with our
religious studies
-Its bible school
they're likely to make us
sleepy
-Hello, men
I trust you spent your study
time wisely -Yes sir
-I also trust you
have done your best to welcome
our new arrival
Mr. Sawyer. What about it,
Son?
They treating you okay? -Yes,
Sir!
-Thats what we like to hear
Mr. Sawyer here is an above
average student
of religion, as you all are
I hope that you will continue
to
show him the same respect that
you show eachother
we've increased our admission
standards since Mr. Godfry saw
fit to leave
our fine establishment last
week
I can assure you all that Mr.
Sawyer here
is truly the cream of the crop
Of course
I should probably get around
to introducing myself
I'm Reverend
Holice Carmical, founder of
the
Neurocystic Christianity
Church
as well as this facility for
alternative bible
studies. -I'm a huge advocate
of your work
Reverend. -Good, then we know
where we all stand. As I'm
sure
you know, the Neurocysitc
Church has gained quite
a following on the coast, and
that's allowed me
to open up this facility.
I have a practical education
as a
teacher, and I try to mix that
with a more
traditional method of
spreading the word
of God. You and your class
mates have been chosen from
hundreds of submissions
you have the unique
opportunity
of helping augment my religion
with a facility that will help
build the
religious leaders of tomorrow
Ask my boys here
they'll tell you
I'm tough but fair
you have to be tough to
support your beliefs in this
day and age
My work has been questioned by
everyone
from the Catholic church to
the United States
Senate. I can
tell you, not one of these
authority
figures has been able to shut
down my church
disgrace my work
or find fault with my personal
history
this is not a scam
I practice what I preach
And what is it that we preach,
Mr McCreedy?
-Man is the creation of God
and science is also the
creation of God
-Exactly. Neurocystic
Christianity is the belief
that the more advanced
mankind's technology
becomes, the closer to God man
kind becomes. We
use the hard sciences, as well
as
psychology and traditional
Christianity
to commune with the lord and
help bring ourselves closer to
Him
why, I can show you cases we
have on file
of certain members of our
congregation who have
overcome debilitating illness
drug habits, physical
and psychological
abnormalities
and these aren't frauds
perpetrated by some tent show
revivalist
but hard, cold
technological facts
what we will learn here is a
great deal more
than how Jesus turned water to
wine
or what chapter or verse
of the bible details the fall
of the Pharos
here you will learn a new way
of life. A new and better way
of thinking
and when you leave here, I
promise
you will be more empowered
than most men
Now that we have six of you
a full roster of young men for
our first curriculum
I'll begin to employ my
methods
in earnest. What you see
here is the Neurocystic
Church's version
of the confessional. An
enclosed
purely technological
environment that
will allow you to purify
yourself by purging
your sins. -To who, Reverend?
-To me, Mr Sankovich
Once a day, every day
I'll have one of you enter the
booth during class
and confess your sins to me
we will continue to do this
until you
have been cleansed of fault,
and can be purely objective
about your
future actions. -like
Catholicism?
-Not quite. In the
Catholic religion,
confessional only
relieves the burden of sin, it
doesn't resolve it
in Neurocysem, the process
of confessional irradicates
the sin
teaches you not to sin again
-Dear Diary, I never thought
this
could happen to me! -Any
questions so
far?
-Yes, Mr Sankovich
-Um.
What if we don't have any
sins?
-Son, we are all guilty of
sins
No matter how small it may
seem to you
you, me, the guy down the
steet
it doesnt matter. -But I mean
well, I don't think I've done
anything wrong
I haven't broken the ten
commandments
or anything like that.
-Nonsense!
Theres more to this than the
basic ten
commandments. Theres the
sins of every day life. The
sins of human need.
Why, Mr. Sankovich, you could
easily be
accused of having committed
the sin of pride.
The sin of Narcissism -But I'm
not!
-You lift weights! You take
excessive pride in your
appearance. Its one thing to
stay fit
but you've taken this practice
to access
-But doesn't the bible say
the body is like Gods temple?
-Son, do you measure your
biceps?
Do you check your
physic in the mirror? -But I
don't
-Yeah, Reverend
I do.
-Then you've but the
love of self over the love of
God.
And you've sinned.
And you must pay for your sins
as we all eventually do
you are all sinners.
No matter what you man think,
as Mr. Sankovich
here has also thought, you are
far
less perfect than you believe.
And only I can fix that for
you
Only I can bring you
closer to God
Mr. Sankovich, you shall go
first
-I want you
to step into the booth
I'll step into the other side
and
act as your confessor
What is it, Mr. Sankovich?
-I have to sit in there? -Its
confessional, son, it won't
hurt you. I promise.
Everything you confess to me
will be kept in the strictest
of confidence
-But what about all the wires?
-Electromagnetic conduction
haven't you read the chapters
in my last book on
electromagnetic
energy? About how
it aligns your life energy
-Yes I have, but, you know, I
thought that was
for medical purposes, not
spiritual ones.
-Yes, some. But when you use
electromagnetism in medicine.
What is it used for?
-Healing purposes?
-This is healing, son.
Healing of the soul. Please.
step into the booth
-This will take about ten
minutes or
so. I suggest that those of
you
who are unfamiliar with the
electromagnetic
process use this time to
study from the necessary
chapters of my last book
-This is the first time
I heard about a confessional.
-Keep it down, Mike
he's gonna hear you.
-BullSHIT!
-What did you just say?
-Take that candycane out of
your ass, MIKE
save the prim and proper stuff
for when the
rev comes out, would you?
-I'm not kidding, BILLY. You
might not be serious about
getting an education here but
I am
I don't wanna see anybody else
get tossed out like Blake did.
-Oh, Woop-de-do. Oh, what am I
not gonna go to heaven because
I said the word bullshit?
Oh! I mean, I must have missed
that part in the bible where
it says, thou shalt not
say bullshit.
-Thats not what I meant,
Billy. It does say
you're not supposed to
Blaspheme.
-OH, come on.The word shit is
not Blaspheme
for Christ's sake.
-Well I tried. If you get
tossed, its on you.
-Oh, hey, thanks a lot
Big Brother, but I think I can
take care of
myself now. -Okay guys! Knock
it off!
Mike, you know Billy is just
doing the same old shock value
routine to get a rise out of
you
Billy just, shut up okay?
-Guys...
I bet its some kind of a test.
I know it.
-You think everything is a
test, Paul
-Reverend Carmical leaves us
alone for five or
ten minutes to see what we do
behind his back
thats exactly what it is. And
Billy
is gonna get in trouble for
using bad language
-Oh, man. Stop being such a
wet blanket
Ugh! Nobody cares
if I use bad language. -I do!
-Billy, we came here to get
away from stupid attitudes
know what I mean? -Guys, does
anyone
care if the new guy gets in on
the discussion?
-I wish it was a discussion.
Its more like
a spiritual pissing contest.
-Stop talking like that,
Billy. -Look, look
All I was gonna say, is that
I don't remember anything
about a
confessional in any of
Reverend Carmicals writings
-Its probably something new
the reverend came up with
he does stuff like this all
the time. Thats why the
class is so small. He's trying
out
his teachings to see what
works
-Yeah. Maybe he's giving Rusty
a new brain
or a brain at all
couldn't hurt, the way I see
it!
-Listen
you want a role model on what
not
to do around this place? Go
see Billy.
I mean he's basically a good
guy, but
he is desperate to get thrown
out of this place.
-So why is he here?
-I dunno. Just
consider yourself warned
We all like him but none of us
can deal with him
except Sam, and Sam
deals with everybody.
-I have a bad feeling about
this. -Its just confessional
Paul! -I wonder if it hurts.
-No, its kinda like the seam
eater in
scientology. The level of
electricity
isn't strong enough to do
anything physically
I mean, one of those little
balls
you buy at sharper image has
more juice in it than that
-Well, Champ! Why does
it have to have any
electricity in it? I mean
what is it just for shits and
giggles or what?
-Well its a pretty recent
innovation
but a lot of new religions
believe that the
electricity can realign your
lifes energies
stimulate your physicality.
You know, they believe
that the soul is nothing but
pure energy
and can be altered by outside
energy
that kind of stuff. -Like new
age crystals!
-Exactly. -How would you know?
-Because I have studied it for
a couple years
thats how. -Wait a minute!
Let mew get this straight.
So you're saying, that old
Rusty
the muscle head is going to go
into that booth back there
and then this huge
magnet is gonna like...un-
kinkle the kinks in his
soul? -Pretty much
-Whoo! Boy! Sounds
a little...you know what I
mean?
-You know, Sometimes I wonder
why you even bother to show up
-Cause I love you
Mikey!!! -I'm being serious!
You question the reverends
methods, you turn
everything me and everybody
else here believes in to one
big joke, you constantly need
to be the center of attention
-Hey! I'm basically here
because
my parents made me go, okay?
and
for your information, SAINT
MIKE
I appreciate everything the
Reverend
has to say. That doesn't mean
I
have to agree with it. Unlike
you, I have a mind
of my own. -Guys!
-What are you trying to say,
Billy, that I'm like some kind
of robot or something?
-Truthfully Mikey-Mike?
You don't wanna know WHAT I
think of you
-The reverend is gonna hear
you two if you dont stop
arguing
-Is the ten minutes up yet?
-Maybe Rusty is dead
-BILLY! -What is taking so
long? I mean
all the guy does all day is
take vitamins and
pump weights. How many sins do
you think
he could pull off?
-Hard at work I see
-Um, Reverend
-Yes, Mr. McCreedy? -We were
all trying to
study but Billy here wouldn't
-I'm sorry Mr McCreedy but I
don't remember asking who
was guilty or not guilty of
following my instructions
seems to me that you
have all disobeyed, even you
Mr. McCreedy. And May I
remind you that God
appreciates no man
setting himself above reproach
Consider this while I curtail
your
freetime for exchange for the
time you have
wasted here. -Yes reverend
-Yes Mr. Sawyer?
-Reverend, I hope this isn't a
worthless question...
-There are no worthless
questions, Mr. Sawyer
Only worthless answers
-Well, I was just wondering,
um
What was going
on in there? -Why don't youask
Mr. Sankovich?
How do you feel, Mr.
Sankovich?
-I feel much
better. -And what happened
while you were inside the
booth, Mr. Sankovich?
-I confessed.
My sins.
-Anything else?
-There was a light!
-You saw a light? -Yes, I did!
A light! -Do you feel pure,
now?
Do you feel as if your
conscious
has been wiped clean?
-Yeah
I feel great
I feel like I could take on
the whole
world! -Must be the stereroids
-You see
The energy inside of
Mr. Sankovich has been
re-aligned.
his soul. His very
essence has been renewed
he is ready to be taught, to
be shaped
to think and to learn as a
true student
of neurocysim. I myself was
the first subject to undergo
this process
and now
I shall pass this knowledge
along with the benefits of the
confessional
onto the rest of you. You see
it is your will, your very
desire to be
purged, mixed with the
scientific
procedure I revolutionized
that will cleanse you
think on these things.
Tomorrow
Mr. McCreedy
whos own self opinion was his
undoing, shall have his turn
in the booth. Until then,
return to your dorm
rooms and study on my
dissertation of
electromagnetism.
Dinner is in one hour. Class
dismissed.
(tense music)
(church bells)
(thunder)
-Oh man. This
is the ticket
My muscles got
massively twisted up today
-Why is the bathroom set up
like this?
-Well, theres a real shower
stall
on the third floor, but, uh
believe it or not, this place
was actually a
legit college dorm room back
in the 50's
problem is, the plumbin
hasn't been messed with since
the 50's
so I guess some pipes burst
one winter
so they strapped this whole
private bathroom
into a weird community tub or
something
Anyway, no one's
got the inclination or the
money
to fix up the old showers.
-Why doesn't
the Reverend pay to have it
fixed up
-You mean, Mrs. Buviea.
She's the money in this deal,
not him.
-I thought the Reverend made
lots
of money off of his teachings
-He probably spent it all on
rayvac batteries
for that freaking phone booth
of his
I don't wanna know
I mean, Mrs. B digs
everything the Reverend is
about, but
she calls the shots around
here, not him
-But why would Mrs. B
spend all that money and
property
on a place like this?
-Well!
On one hand you have a hot
30-something widow. And on the
other hand
you have six strapping
young men. Do the math.
-Shes not really like
that, is she? -I dunno!
Theres some weird stuff going
on around
here. And I don't mean
Carmical's rainbox either
We had a guy here, you know?
right before you showed up?
-Yeah that Godly guy! -Godfry
-Blake Godfry.
Anyways. He was this total
sunday school robot, you know,
like Mike
so I didn't get it when he
decided to just
leave school one day
all I know is
one night, I had to go to the
bathroom
really bad, and I got up
and it was after lights out
got up just in time
to see Blake zippin upstairs
to Mrs. B's apartment
-What! -Yup!
And I'm sure he wasn't going
there for a
special study group, either.
-What do you think happened?
-Well, either he
was asked up there
or...he got a little lonesome
one night and decided to see
if Mrs. Buviea was still
awake. Either way.
that was the last we ever saw
of poor Blake. The next day
they said that Blake had left
school
so I'm guessing he didn't
decide to
leave school like Carmical
keeps saying
Nope. I think he put
one toe over the line
and either Mrs. B or the old
Rev
chucked him out of here with
his stuff
You know they don't tolerate
that kind of stuff here
-You think that this blake guy
was hitting on Mrs.
B? -Either that
or he wasn't hitting on Mrs. B
enough. I dunno.
To me the whole thing is a
little shady
Anyways, my whole thing is
I don't even want to be here
-So why are you here? -Well,
my parents are those big
revivalists
nuts, it was either this or
they were gonna send me
down to that Jesusland in
Florida
God! I wanted to be a doctor
but, you know, thats kind of
tough
when both your parents believe
that the only kind of
medicine is faith healing
So I got the shaft.
Now, I'm living in this
old brick shithouse
rooming with five virgins
and learning about
Big magnets that zap the sin
out of you. Yeehaw! Praise
Jesus. -Hey, knock that off
-Oh, you mean
That? -Haha!
-What are you guys up to?
-Oh, we're waiting for
the steam room Mikey! What
does it look like we're doing?
Hey MIKEY, Nice chest!
What is it, cold in here or
what?
ha! Hey man thats my towel!!!
I needed that!
-Roll around on the rug. -Oh,
HA HA
-Hey did you read the
dissertation? -Yeah
-Oh, SHOOT
the dissertation! I'm so busy
unpacking
I forgot! -UH OH -UH OH
-I just don't wanna make a bad
impression on my first day,
you know?
-Well, I aint no rocket
scientist
but I'd say you're going about
it the wrong way!
-Relax Christopher
I'll let you borrow my notes
(thunder)
-Maybe he smashed his thick
skull in with a
dumb-bell. Maybe
he hit himself green and
became the incredible hulk
-All I'm saying is
Rusty is usually the first one
in the chow line
So, where is he
-Well, I'm sure I'll be up all
night worried about
it. -Thats a good question
Mike, I haven't
seen Rusty anywhere. -Hes
asleep
-Huh?
-Why would he be asleep?
-I dunno. He said he felt
sleepy and he just layed down
-Maybe his brain got fried in
that
phone booth thingie. -I doubt
it
-If something happened to
Rusty at the
Confessional, we would have
known about it right away
-Yeah
it maybe takes a while for the
genetic mutation
to kick in. -Shut up Billy!
-Kids can't we just have one
dinner without you two yelling
at each other?
Its like being at my
folks place for thanksgiving.
-Yeah, every night!
-Exactly, every night its the
same thing
-Wow!
Its Dr. Jeckle and Mr.
Hillfigure. What did you have
yourself a
teenage life crisis while you
were asleep, Rusty?
-Thats a nice tank top
-I just woke up and said fuck
it!
-Is uh, everything okay Rusty?
-Hey guys, I feel better right
now than I have in a long time
-You're not
ON something, are you?
-I'm guessing it has something
to do with
Rusty being his nickname. That
will snap
anyone after a while.
-Well, Mr. Sankovich, lets
just see what happens
when Mr. Carmical sees this
He's gonna hit the roof! -By
who?
The fashion police?
-Hey guys, is there even a
dress code
here? -Well
If Rusty here uses the
F-word in front of the wrong
company, well
thats pretty much grounds for
expulsion
-Woop-de-fuckin-do
(thunder) -Theres only seven
places
set at the table.
Shouldn't there be eight? -How
do you mean?
-Well, theres eight
of us including
Mrs. Buviea and Reverend
Carmical
-Reverend Carmical!
-Reverend Carmical doesn't eat
with the students
Thank you! He has his own
estate down the road and he
usually takes
his meals there.
Well! Soup's on
Dig in. I certainly hope
you enjoy it. Oh! And I have a
special treat for you.
My husband was a connoisseur
This is a very special vintage
worth a small fortune
I would imagine
-What is the occasion for the
booze, Mrs B!?
-Its wine, Mr.
Parker, not booze.
You make it sound like I just
pulled it out of a brown
paper bag.
This is to celebrate the
arrival of our new
student, Mr. Sawyer.
So, we're gonna get trashed!
Say, thats great Mrs. B!
-We most certainly are
not going to get trashed, Mr.
Parker
One glass a piece
-Are you sure
we're allowed, Mrs. Buviea?
-Mr. McCreedy, there's no harm
in drinking
one glass of wine. Do you
think that
there is? -Well
if the reverend doesn't see
anything wrong
with it. -If its any
consolation, I
conferred with the good
Reverend before
I brought the bottle up and he
didn't see anything wrong with
it
-Mrs. Buviea,
do you treat all your new
students this way?
-Mr. Sawyer.
We're excited to finally find
six students
worthy of our time and effort
I'm sure you've heard the name
Blake Godfry from the others
-Yes. -Well, I'm afraid
he wasn't very serious about
his studies and
generally wasn't the right
kind of student for this school
so we had to refund his
enrollment fee and let him go
But! Now I have
the perfect class. And I'd say
that's something to celebrate,
wouldn't you?
-Hello, Rusty!
How do you feel this evening
-Very nice.
I think Reverend Carmical's
Confessional did me
a lot of good. -Excellent
-I dunno, Mrs. Buviea. I mean
Rusty looks like hes on drugs
or something. -Yeah he used to
look like he was just on
steroids. -Now, now
boys. I think its rather nice
that Mr. Sankovich has decided
to
losen up a little bit.
-Are you sure hes not sick or
something?
-I'm fine! Really.
-Gentlemen. I'd like
to propose a toast.
To providence
For finally bringing me the
six of you
-Cheers. -Bottoms up!
-A little class would be nice
here!
-Long life.
-Something wrong Mr. Sawyer?
-No...uh..
I'm just not much of a wine
drinker, thats all
-Well one little glass won't
hurt you, will it?
-I think I'll just stick
to water, thanks.
-Uh, can I have Christopher's
wine, Mrs. B?
-Yes, Christopher
thats fine. Stick to water
if you'd like.
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(thunder)
-Billy?
Billy wake up! You're having
a bad dream
Billy wake up!
Billy you're having a bad
dream
(thunder)
(heartbeats)
(thunder)
(heavy breathing)
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(moaning)
-Thats right, Rusty
follow your urges.
come to me.
(thunder)
-Rusty! Rusty wake up!
Rusty where
are you going?
(thunder, creepy music)
-Suspenseful ambient sounds,
thunder)
-I'm glad you came Rusty.
(heartbeats)
(thunder)
-I chose you to go first,
Rusty. You're so strong.
You're my perfect little boy
-Where am I?
What are you doing?
Mrs. Buviea!
-You came up here to see me!
Don't you remember?
-I was asleep. -What did you
come up here for?
-I don't remember
-Did you come to take me,
Sweet one?
I know what you want
What you need.
-I didn't say... -You can make
me
very happy. And I can
make you even happier
-This isn't right Mrs. Buviea.
-Go ahead, say it. Are you
trying
to seduce me, Mrs. Buviea?
I've always wanted to hear
that one.
And the answer is
YES. I am most definately
trying to seduce you.
(thunder)
-Rusty, where did you go, man?
Shit.
-Do you know why I chose you?
Rusty?
Do you have any idea?
Because you're so
strong.
Because I've dreamt of your
hands
on me. Touching me.
Your kiss
your touch
your heat
thats right
let me in
let me take you
-I can't do this
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Buviea. But I can't. -What do
you mean, you can't?
Don't you want me?
Can't you take what I'm
offering
you? -I just. I don't
wanna do anything that we'll
regret, thats all
-Trust me.
I won't regret it.
But you might.
-I better be going back to bed
-So be it. -Reverend
Carmical! -Hello, Mr.
Sankovich
-Its the confessional Reverend
I gotta get
back to it, I gotta make
everything alright.
-Oh, I'm afraid there won't be
any more
confessionals for you Mr.
Sankovich
(thunder)
(moaning)
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(heavy breathing)
(thunder)
(drums)
(creepy music)
(thunder)
-Can I poor the wine, Madam
-But of course, Hollice
(creepy music)
-Where
am I?
AHH!
(tense, creepy, primal music)
(thunder) -Is it time, Madam?
-Let the ritual begin
(terrifying music)
(slight electric sounds)
-Ah!
ah!
-Man
Uh
ah, ah!
-We must attend to his things.
-Hey, its our first
success. You should feel
proud.
-I won't feel anything until
its all ready
we still have the rest to take
care of
-Considering what we've been
through in the past, I'd say
this is
definitely the first step.
-Work harder tomorrow
I'm growing impatient. -But..
-But nothing Holiice!
Its clear that the problem has
been taken care of
and now you have to help me
complete the ritual
Bring them to me
I'll help you pack up their
belongings
-Yes madam. -Whos turn
is it tomorrow?
-Mike McCreedy's
-Excellent. I'll be glad to
see that one
go.
-Rusty!
Dolls...
what in the hell?
(church bells)
-Good morning
-Good mornin
-what, no..smart comment?
-Nope
-Whats with the clothes?
-Eh,
my button down is getting a
little restrictive, so
I changed into this.
No big deal
-kinda like Rusty did last
night
-like who?
-you know, Rusty? the big
Muscle bound guy that you
always make fun of...
Sleeps in the same room with
us
Ring a bell? -Yeah
Rusty, right.
-Is something wrong
Billy?
-No, why do you ask?
Actually
I feel better than I've ever
felt before
in my life.
-You don't remember having any
Nightmares last night?
-Nope
-Slept like a log
-Yeah. Thats why you kept me
up all last
night tossing and turning. You
were having some bad
dream or something?
-Must have been the wine
-Look.
We've gotta talk, Billy
-About what?
-Last night, I saw Rusty walk
out
of the room, just like you
told me that Blake Godfry
guy had done before I got
here.
Do you remember that? -I
remember Blake got expelled
But I don't remember
why.
-What are you talking
about.You're the one who told
me about Blake!
-Man, calm down, will you?
Look, maybe I did
Maybe I didn't. -No, I'm not
gonna calm down
alright? Somethings going down
here and
I don't know what it is, but
last night all
five of you guys were tossing
and turning
and then Rusty got out and
walked away in his
underwear.
-Haha,What! -Yeah, so
I followed him, you know, to
see if he was just sleepwalking
or something, but then I saw
Mrs.
Buviea and the Reverend up in
the attic and they were talking
about all this crazy ass stuff
-Sounds to me like you were
snooping, Christopher.
-Man, what is
WITH you! You've like, totally
changed
its like somebody has
brainwashed you or something
-No! Look, maybe I don't
wanna act like a jerk all the
time just to get attention
-Listen to me
something is going on up
there. They've got
a lab. I saw
it. And up in the lab theres
this table, and on the table
there was this cloth
and underneath the cloth,
there was these
six slots
same number as us
and they put a doll
in one of the slots
-Should we call the police?
-Listen to me, Billy
Six slots. Six of
us. And they put a doll
in each slot
and Rusty never came back to
bed last night
either. I waited up all night
for him and
he never came back! -Look
if Rusty ran for the hills
last night
its his problem, not mine
its not yours, either.
-Hey guys, whats up?
-Hey Mike! Hows it hangin?
-Little boys don't know, but
little girls
they understand, right big
Bill?
-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
HERE, GUYS?
-Whats wrong with you?
-We're just being a little
free today, thats all
no biggie. -huh! Gang?
I think Christopher has
finally lost his mind!
I think that
the school has fried his last
active brain cell
-Man you guys should have
heard
the conversation we were
having right before you guys
showed up
-Whats wrong Christopher?
-My, don't we all look good
today.
-Thanks, Mrs. Buviea
So do you. -Thank you
Michael. Something
wrong, Mr. Sawyer?
-Christopher here seems to
think
that Rusty was
killed in some freak
sleepwalking accident last
night
-Hahaha,
My, what an interesting
imagination you have
Mr. Sawyer. -You know Billy,
he's just joking
-Well Despite Mr. Sawyer's
flights
of fancy, I can tell you for a
fact that
Thank you! That something did
happen to Mr.
Sankovich last night after
lights out.
Evidentially, he had a very
bad
drug dependancy, and snuck
into the bathroom to smoke a
Marijuana Cigarette.
I could smell it all the way
up
in my apartment and so
I came down to investigate.
Thats
when I discovered Mr.
Sankovich getting high
and thats the kind of thing I
just don't tolerate
So he was escorted
off the premises late last
night by the police
Fortunately the police were
discrete enough about the
matter
and they didn't wake any of
you up
Mr. Sankovich, needless to
say,
will not be returning to the
school
as a result of what he's done
Is there a problem Mr. Sawyer
-No ma'am
-He'll be fine, Christopher
You're just getting used to a
new
place and staying with
strangers. All these uneasy
feelings will ease up in a few
days
count on it.
( church bell )
-Nows the time for quiet
I'm about to
admit that I failed you
Yes, I myself have failed my
students
and worse, I failed the lord
our God. I've committed
the sin of Pride.
Yes, Mr. Parker, you may
speak.
-How have you sinned,
Reverend?
-Mr. Parker, I was smug
I believe that
my machinery was so fail-safe
that I didn't commit myself
100%
to yesterday's confessional
and in my sin of pride, I
overlooked
the depth of Mr. Sankovich's
flaws.
I did not realize,
despite the extensive blood
research that our school
requires, despite the
many days of taking his words
and his actions
at face value
Mr. Sankovich was hiding from
us a severe
narcotic dependancy.
-Are you going to enroll
another student?
-No, I will not integrate
anyone else into this
group, until I can be certain
that there will be no more
problems, such as we've had
with both Mr. Sankovich
and Mr. Godfry. And for the
rest of you, I fully intend to
work harder and more carefully
to make sure to erase the sin
and and flaws from
your moral character.
Beginning today, men.
Beginning with you
Mr. McCreedy.
Get to your feet
its time for your confessional
Step inside, Son. This time
I won't fail you. I promise.
-Yes Reverend
-As for the rest of you
I suggest you use this time to
study from your textbook
I do not want you disobeying
me
like you did yesterday, is
that understood?
-Yes Reverend
-Look, guys
We gotta talk
(creepy music)
-Can you hear me Mr. McCreedy?
-Yes Reverend
-I want you to close your eyes
Are they closed?
-Yes Reverend
-Can you feel the energy
inside
your booth, Mr. McCreedy
-Yes
Reverend, its making my heart
jump
-Thats perfectly natural
Its aligning
your life energy. Its changing
you. Just let it do its work.
-Yes Reverend.
-Start with
a series of simple questions
The first one
Have you committed any sins
-No, no,
none that I know of
-Have you stolen?
-no!
-have you lied
Mr. McCreedy? Have you
deceived
-No!
-Have you lusted, Mr. McCreedy
Confess your lust to me, Mr.
McCreedy
Its perfectly natural, its
alright
-Yes
-Do you touch yourself in the
night, Mr. McCreedy?
-Yes! -What do you think about
when you touch yourself, Mr.
McCreedy?
What excites you?
What makes you want
to touch yourself?
-I don't know
-open your shirt Mr. McCreedy
Put your hands on
your body
Show me how you touch yourself
-Oh!
-Do you want me?
(creepy music)
-Who am I speaking with?
-Me, Michael.
Purveyor of your dreams
the tongue inside
your mouth
the hands on your body
you want me more than anything
in the world
-Anything in the world?
-I know you've
watched me Michael
you wonder what my lips
taste like. You like
the way I look
I'm the one who shaped you
Micheal, Molded you
Watched over you every night
you
will come to me tonight, won't
you Micheal?
-Yes!
-Who owns you, Michael?
-You!
You are my Queen
-And you
are my beautiful little boy,
Micheal!
Tonight I shall
have you.
Remember that.
-Christopher
You're way in over your head,
here
Look what happened to Rusty
-Thats what I was saying!
Rusty is still here somewhere
Guys! -Like, how?
-It has something to do with
what ever
is going on in that
confessional. -Oh, man
Not this stupid doll thing
again.
-Look, Christopher
You're a nice guy We all like
you.
But, this is too much man.
- I think you have some
personal issue you have to deal
with.
-Yeah, it's just not fair to
the rest of us.
- Ah, hold on guys.
Why don't you just go open
Mikes booth right now if
you're so sure.
Peek inside.
-Okay... Okay
I will! (tense music)
- What are doing!?
-I was just.. -He was gonna
show us what was going on in
there.
He says that you and
Mrs. Buviea did something bad
to Rusty.
and then you put some weird
doll
in the attic.
-That you tried to disrupt my
teachings
is not what angers me. What
angers me is your deliberate
disobedience of my
instructions
And that you've chosen to
spend the time
that I was helping Mr.
McCreedy confess his sins
spreading poison and lies
about
myself, Mrs. Buviea and this
institution.
Don't we have enough to deal
with?
Have I or anyone else caused
you
pain? Deceived you? Done
nothing
but befriend and encourage
your quest for knowledge
-Why don't you show everybody
whats up in the attic
-Excuse me? -I said
why don't you show everybody
what is up in the attic?
If I'm lying, then I'm lying
But I don't think I am
And neither
do you.
-You have no idea what you're
messing with here, son.
I wish it was easy
as expelling you because you
got yourself and everyone else
into a whole lot of trouble
but we're way passed that.
You're here
to stay.
I confront you with your
trespasses
and you counter with more lies
How sick have you become, Mr.
Sawyer?
How much pain
do you wish to inflict upon
us. -you must
punish him Reverend! -Yeah!
Punish him.
-Wait, wait! What are you
gonna do
with me!
(tense music)
Oh! No!
(banging on door)
No!
(tense music)
-That you, Sam?
Uh, if you need
to wash up I'll be out of the
tub in a minute, alright?
Just gimme a second. -Just
relax
Its just you
and me
-reverend?
-Shh
Just lay back and relax
-I thought
I thought you were gone for
the evening
-I came back
just for you
-What are you doing, Reverend?
-Mrs. Buviea
wanted me to speed things up
just a bit
Don't worry
It won't hurt
-huh?
(dramatic music)
-You're gonna make her very
happy. Hahaha.
(tense music builds)
(heavy breathing)
-Sick
bitch has been watching us!
(tense music)
(thunder)
(music with an air of mystery)
-Stop! Mike!
(shocking noise)
(shocking noise)
-I'm glad you came, Michael
is there something I can do
for you
tonight?
-Yes
-Then come in.
(tense music)
-Do you want me, Micheal?
-Yes
-Are you nice, Michael?
Will you be nice?
Make me warm?
There, thats it
Now just lay back
lay back and let me do all
the work to my sweet
wonderful
-Mrs. Buviea! -Lay back, sweet
one
This is our time
Micheal.
Yours and mine
(tense music)
-Wait! What are you gonna do
with me?
-Just relax. It doesn't hurt
So long as you're a pure
sweet virgin.
Sauce for the stew, my love.
Special ingredient my
late husband discovered on one
of his adventures
-ah!
Ugh!
(demonic voice)-I need all six
of you, Micheal!
First I
took Rusty, then
Paul, and now I take you.
Tomorrow I'll take your
friend Christopher.
When I offer Pecuto my six
fine dolls who will grant the
power
over all the dead souls buried
in the earth
An army of Zombies
more powerful and terrifying
than any army of mans
Think of it!
(thunder)
(creepy music)
(music builds)
-Place him in the Oracle,
Hollice. -Ah!
-We have another offering for
Pecuto tonight
(creepy music)
Go and get young Chrisopher
I don't think I want
to bother waiting until
tomorrow, after all
-You're the boss
(tense music)
-Well well well
Looks like somebody just
couldn't stay put
what an awful
sinning little boy you are,
Mr. Sawyer
You know you're not supposed
to be here, right? I mean
how else do you think I keep
tabs
on you boys while I'm supposed
to clean
the confessional booth.
-Whats going on Reverend?
-You're not gonna have to ask
that question
in about 8 seconds, don't you
know?
You're gonna live it
-What, NO!
(tense music)
(thunder) -Curiosity killed
the cat
Mr. Sawyer. You've been most
most curious about things that
were better left
alone.
Its actually a shame, you
know?
the other boys never felt a
thing
but then they had the benefit
of being prepared for the
ritual
wine and confessional
all part of being prepared for
the beast. But you
You, on the other hand
get to do the whole thing wide
awake
and I understand that its
most unpleasant
very, very painful
-Yeah, I bet you're real
heartbroke, aren't you?
-I'm not doing this to torture
you, Christopher. I love all
my
babies. But you're just a
means
to an end. My husband
discovered
a lot of very interesting
things down in Haiti
Some were cold, hard
scientific fact
and others were things
that science could never
explain or control
Poor thing. Thats what killed
him, you know?
-You sure it wasn't you that
killed him?
-Haha!
What a wicked boy you are,
Christopher
No.
He tried to tap into Pecuto.
Into the
ritual of turning sacrificial
virgins
into dolls to give Pecuto
their innocent souls to feed
upon
In exchange for Pecuto's power
over the dead, but
science ruined it all for him
and in the end, Pecuto was
very
displeased
and so, I carried on
the good work. I created
a fake religion. Put my dear
friend Carmical into the roll
of
a dime store L Rod Hubbard and
Presto!
what better way to lure pure
young boys into my fold
than to open up a high-tech
bible school
-What about seducing
them? Is that part of your
ritual, too?
-I take pride in my work.
-Theres one problem
-And whats that
-I'm not a virgin!
-What?
Hollice you told me he was
PURE! -He's bluffing.
Cant you see that?
(dramatic music)
-OOH!
-THE WINE THE WINE IS GONE!
OH MY GOD, WE'RE GONNA CHANGE
-I heard noises, whats going
on?
-Man Christopher was right!
-You ruined everything!
You little bastard! -What the
fuck
is going on here? -I dunno but
we
don't want to stick around and
find out, come on lets go!
(thunder, dramatic music)
-Jesus Christopher.
You were right. About the
dolls and Rusty
disappearing. Everything.
-Thats okay.
I was gonna go to business
school
anyway
(credits music)
