Deadtime Stories (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 1 - Grave Secrets - full transcript
[ floor boards creaking ]
[ crickets chirping ]
[ both scream ]
[ laughing ] you guys!
You scared me.
All right, are you ready
for a "Deadtime Story"?
Yeah. what do you have
for us this time?
Oh, it's a good one.
I laughed. I cried. I screamed.
You're gonna love it.
It's called "Grave Secrets,"
and it's one of my favorites.
All right.
Are you guys ready to be scared?
Yeah.
Okay. chapter one.
"there was no stopping
what was about to happen,
and Amanda Peterson
knew it."
"even as she watched
Jarrad Clark and Kevin Stewart
"race towards
the back of the yard,
she knew it was hopeless."
Oh, no.
[ baseball thuds ]
I see it!
Your ball
is right next to the shed
where Barnsey throws the rats
after she bites their heads off.
Those aren't dead rats.
They're pine cones.
They're dead rats.
Everybody knows it.
Just like everybody knows
she's a witch.
If Barnsey gets her hands on
something that belongs to you
she can put a curse on you.
That's how witches work.
I saw this show once
where all this witch had
was a piece of this kid's hair
and a fingernail,
and she blew him up
on his own front lawn!
[ sighs ]
what are you gonna do?
Go in for it.
Just don't
let her catch you,
or you'll end up in the basement
with that other little girl.
They say
she's all bloody and stuff
because Barnsey
must be torturing her.
[ sighs ]
please, oh, please,
don't let there be any rats.
She's got it.
Come on, Amanda. come on.
Hurry. come on.
Come on.
And where do you think
you're going?
Help me! Help me! Don't let her
take me to the dungeon!
Oh, I doubt that I'll take you
to my dungeon, child!
Maybe I'll drag you into my shed
and just bite your head off.
[ screams ]
come on!
[ grunts ]
run!

That was
way too close.
She came out of nowhere.
I thought I was dead for sure.
She almost
ripped my arm off.
My bracelet! I-it's gone.
I've lost my bracelet.
Your friendship
bracelet?
Are you sure
you were wearing it?
We wear them every day.
Hers matches mine.
Kevin: that's even worse
than the baseball.
If Barnsey's
got your bracelet,
she could totally
make your arm fall off.
Dude, there's something
seriously wrong with you.
It could happen.
This is hopeless.
We're never gonna find it.
Just keep looking.
Aah!
I touched it.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Kevin: hard as a rock.
This guy's been dead awhile.
He's already got
"riga-morphosis" and all.
It's "rigor mortis,"
idiot.
I think
we should bury him.
Baby: [ echoing ] mama.
Did you hear that?
It sounded like a baby.
That sound just came
from under the earth.
Who would bury a baby
in Amanda's backyard?
B--
don't even say "Barnsey."
Who else would do
something like this?
Aw, it's just a stupid doll.
[ coughs ]
Amanda: whoever buried it
did it a long time ago.
Hey, guys, this doll
doesn't have a voice box,
so how did it say "mama"?
Maybe it's...
[ spooky voice ] haunted.
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!
Get a life.
Amanda! Come on in. it's time
to get cleaned up for dinner.
Okay, mom!
[ normal voice ]
take your haunted doll.
Later.
Bye.
[ wolf howls ]
baby: [ echoing ] mama.
[ gasps ]
stop it. stop it. stop it.
[ echoing ] mama.
Boy: stop it, stop it!
Stop it! Stop it!
Nyou stop it!
I want to hear
the rest of the story.
Well, so do i!
It's just that a talking doll
is really creepy.
Well, are you too scared
to keep going?
No.
I want to keep going.
[ laughing ] okay.
Let's see what happens next.
"Amanda's head
was still under her pillow
"when she woke up
the next morning.
"as she rubbed the sleep
from her eyes,
"she half expected to hear
the talking doll again.
"but thankfully,
all she heard
was the birds
outside her window."
[ birds chirping ]
[ gasps ] where is it?
[ cellphone clicking ]
[ wind blows ]
[ gasps ]
[ doorknob rattles ]
[ both screaming ]
what's the matter
with you?
It's Barnsey. I think she's
trying to put a curse on me.
What are you talking about?
What happened?
I'll show you.
I think she just
sent me a message. look.
I don't see anything.
I know for sure
I locked the door
because I had to unlock it
to get out of there.
Barnsey really wants
that stupid doll back.
Maybe we should
just give it to her.
It's gone.
What?
When I woke up
this morning,
the doll wasn't
on the picnic table.
[ gasps ] my mother.
I'll bet she threw it away
in the garbage.
Mrs. Peterson: Amanda!
[ gasps ]
what are you two doing?
Ooh, you guys
are in big trouble.
I have to find that doll.
I thought you threw it away.
No.
I didn't throw it away.
I know
what happened to the doll.
What did you do with it,
you little monster?
Barnsey took it.
I saw her take it last night.
I went downstairs
to get a drink of water.
And then, I heard
this baby crying, "mama. mama."
So, I looked
through the kitchen window,
and there was Mrs. Barns.
She took the doll
right off our picnic table.
That's what made the little girl
that was with her cry.
It's the little girl that
Barnsey keeps in her dungeon.
Was the little girl
all bloody and stuff
like someone's
been torturing her?
Amanda, now,
it's bad enough you older kids
are making up stories
about Mrs. Barns,
but I don't
want Robin doing it.
Mom,
I'm not making it up.
Okay, I'm not
talking about this anymore.
You're going inside
with me,
and you, missy, are cleaning up
that mess -- right now.
[ sighs ]
do you think that Robin
was telling the truth?
Shh. listen.
[ girl crying ]
what?
Do you hear it?
Text Jarrad and tell him
to come over here right now.
[ crying continues ]
[ scraping ]
Barnsey must have
just buried her alive.
Shh!
[ gasps ]
[ both gasp ]
Barnsey just buried her.
I got to be sitting down
for this.
Just because
Barnsey had a shovel
doesn't mean
she buried a little girl.
Besides, you didn't even see
this girl, did you?
Robin saw her last night.
Robin?
She's always making up stuff
just to get attention.
Last night,
I heard the doll crying again.
I didn't tell anybody about it
except laura.
Robin said she heard it,
too.
She saw Barnsey
taking the doll,
and the little girl
from the dungeon was with her.
You have to admit
that there's something
really strange going on here.
The best thing we can do
is nothing at all.
If we leave Barnsey alone,
she'll leave us alone, too.
Laura: we've got supernatural,
witch stuff
happening all around us,
and you're acting like you're
not the least bit worried.
You know
when I'll be worried?
When I see something happen
with my own two eyes.
You might want to bring
your own two eyes over here
and take a look at this.
"'i want
my baby back now.'
"it's all Amanda
could think about.
"the message in the sandbox
and in the mirror --
she'd been thinking about them
all day."

Anna.
I just made
some lemonade.
Why don't you come to the porch
and have some?
Okay, mommy.
I'm so glad
you like the doll
daddy and I got you
for your birthday, Anna.
I love her. thank you
for giving her to me.
My baby's gone!
Emily!
I want my baby back!
[ engine rumbling ]
Emily, I want my baby back!
[ gasps ]
[ tires screech ]
no!
[ thunder rumbling ]
[ crying ]
[ thunder crashes ]
[ muffled ] aah! Help me!
Somebody help me!
[ breathing heavily ]
I want my baby back.
Aah!
Are you okay?
I feel like
I'm going crazy.
What did she look like?
Like a little girl
who just climbed
out of a grave.
I think she must be,
like, 7 or 8.
And she definitely
wants her baby back.
Laura: Amanda...
[ metal clatters ]
[ both scream ]
what's the matter
with you guys?
What was that noise?
I knocked over a shovel.
Robin, did you do this?
Some of it.
What do you mean,
"some of it"?
I mean I helped.
Helped who? Barnsey?
No way.
I wouldn't color
with Barnsey
if she had the last
piece of chalk on earth.
Then who did
you color with?
Anna -- the girl I saw
crying on the patio
when Barnsey
took the doll.
And now Anna wants Emily
to give her baby back.
How do you know all of this?
Anna told me.
Got to add some purple.
Anna likes purple.
We've got problems
even bigger than Barnsey.
[ door slams ]
just the girls
I was looking for.
Oh. who wants
their baby back?
Anna, the ghost.
Right.
Well, maybe she'll get it back
in time for halloween.
Okay, I'll give you $5 each
if you'll ride your bikes
over to Mrs. Jenkins' house
on abernathy street
and deliver
the jewelry she ordered.
Mrs. Jenkins: thanks, girls.
Tell your mom hi.
Okay.
I can't believe that the little
girl from Barnsey's dungeon
is a friendly ghost.
What do you mean?
I mean she was coloring
with Robin, right?
So,
that's pretty friendly.
I guess.
I don't even have
the stupid doll anymore.
Someone named Emily
has the doll.
So, why doesn't Anna
just go find Emily?
We have to find out
who Emily is.
Hey, wait up!
I-i can't!
I'm not even pedaling!
Try the brakes!
[ brakes squeaking ]
I can't stop!
[ squeaking continues ]
Amanda! Hold up!
Slow down!
Wait for me!
[ breathing heavily ]
Anna?
Anna?
I-i know you want
your baby back.
I don't have her,
so you've got to
stop haunting me.
I think somebody named Emily
has your baby.
I don't know anybody
named Emily.
[ echoing ] you have to
tell Emily to give my baby back,
or no one will rest.
I don't know anybody
named Emily!
I can't believe it.
I saw her.
I saw Anna the ghost.
What did she say to you?
Emily.
What are you doing
with my mail?!
Let's get out of here!
[ growls ]
Anna: [ echoing ] you have to
tell Emily I want my baby back.
Amanda, come on!
Hurry, she's coming!
Oh!
Amanda: aah!
Amanda!
Hey, wait up.
Where are you going so fast?
Amanda: you'll see.
We're coming up.
Jarrad: okay.
Amanda:
Anna the ghost is real.
I saw her with my own two eyes.
And you're never gonna believe
who Emily is.
Barnsey.
What are you guys
talking about?
It says "occupant."
Give me that!
This is supposed to have
"Emily Barns" written on it.
You guys were going through
Barnsey's mail?
Anna the ghost
threw Barnsey's mail at me.
She was just trying to
tell me who Emily is
so that she can get
her baby back.
And Emily is Barnsey.
And Barnsey has the baby.
So if Amanda
doesn't get it for her,
nobody's gonna
rest in peace.
How hard
is that to follow?
[ sighs ]
there's only one solution.
Hide?
I'm just gonna go right up
to Barnsey and ask her for it.
[ toy clatters ]
no. it's the only surefire way
to get yourself murderized.
If I'm going,
you're going.
Don't you think
it's kind of weird
that out of all the houses
in the neighborhood,
Barnsey's doesn't have
any halloween decorations?
This whole house
is a decoration.
You know what?
I think it would be best
if I stay behind.
That way,
if something goes wrong,
I could at least
try to save you guys.
I think I'll stay,
too.
That way, I can go for help
if you need it.
Ayou coming?
[ door creaks ]
[ both gasp ]
what do you want?
Miss Barns?
We've come to ask you
to give back the doll.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Anna's doll.
Jarrad:
miss Barns, are you okay?
[ gasps ]
what kind of cruel joke
are you two playing?
Miss Barns,
this is not a joke.
You get off my property
right now, and don't come back,
because I promise you,
if I ever catch you here again,
I will not give you the chance
to walk away.
[ door slams ]
[ both gasp ]
we need to come up
with a serious plan.
I'm thinking.
What?
Both: shh!
[ Robin speaking indistinctly ]
[ boing! ]
[ whoosh, swish, swish! ]
[ swish, swish, swish! ]
[ squeak! Squeak! ]
[ honk! ]
[ swish! Whirl! Whoosh! ]
[ pitter! Pitter! Pitter! ]
[ whispering
indistinctly ]
Robin: you can have
any doll you want. really.
I would never
take one of your babies, Robin.
I just want
my own baby back.
Someone has to get
my baby back.
I will not
leave without her.
Whoa.
That's pretty creepy.
Yeah.
So, what happens to them?
Should we read
and find out?
Okay.
Yeah.
"Amanda and her friends
finally came up with a plan
"to get the doll back.
"it was a dangerous plan,
"too dangerous
to attempt in the daylight.
"they had to wait
until after dark,
"until everyone else,
especially Barnsey, was asleep,
so they could sneak into her
backyard and dig up that doll."
[ both laugh ]
didn't I tell you
that you looked stupid?
If I'm gonna be breaking
into Barnsey's backyard,
I want to make sure
nobody see me doing it.
Then you might want to
get rid of those boots.
They practically
glow in the dark.
No way.
I'm wearing them for protection
in case I step on any rats.
Kevin.
Will you stop that?
There are no rats.
It's right here.
[ dirt scraping ]
baby: mama.
Quick, get that doll
out of the ground
so we can get out of here.
Maybe we should just
get out of here now.
Not without that doll.
Be quiet.
You're gonna wake up Barnsey.
Laura! Keep that thing
shined at the ground
so we can see
what we're doing.
And, Kevin,
watch the house.
And what do you
want her to do?
Keep digging.
[ nervously ] how you doing?
Everybody keep quiet,
or we're gonna wake Barnsey.
You already have.
[ gasps ]
[ whines ]
don't move.
Don't breathe.
I promise you, if you do, you'll
never see the light of day.
[ all screaming ]
Emily,
you have to look at me!
I warned you.
I warned you, child,
what would happen if you
ever came on my property again.
[ heart beating ]
why don't you run?
I'm not leaving until
you give back Anna's doll.
You want Anna's doll?
Fine! Fine!
I'd be happy
to get rid of that doll.
I'm so sorry I ever took it
in the first place!
I'm sorry!
It was the worst day of my life
when I took it,
and every second for 65 years,
I've regretted it.
[ shovel clatters ]
so, here. here it is.
Here.
You take that doll!
[ echoing ]
Emily, please!
I want my baby back!
I want my baby back!
Please!
[ crying ]
give her back to me!
My baby's gone!
Emily, I want my baby back!
[ tires screech ]
Emily!
[ crying ] oh, Anna.
Is it really you?
Yes, Emily.
It's really me.
Anna.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry
i-i took your doll.
I -- I didn't mean it. I just --
I just wanted to play with it.
And I was gonna
give it right back to you.
And I never,
ever had the chance.
And I didn't mean
for anything to happen.
I would give anything
in the whole wide world
to change that.
You can't change the past,
Emily.
But you can
give my baby back to me.
Oh, yes.
Your little baby.
It's your baby, darling.
It belongs to you.
[ sniffles ]
I'm so glad
you have your baby back.
[ gasps, laughs ]
now I can rest.
Yes.
Now we can all rest.
Yes. yes. yes.
[ sobbing ]
don't cry, miss Barns.
It's okay.
Boy:
so, Barnsey's really nice?
Babysitter: yep.
That's it?
That's the end?
[ inhales deeply ]
not quite.
Buckle your seatbelts 'cause
we're still in for a bumpy ride!
Get them buckled!
Okay. all right.
"it all started after Emily
gave Anna back her baby.
"it was almost as if Barnsey
had been under a spell herself
"because when Anna found a way
to break it,
Emily Barns had become
a whole new person."
"she and the kids decided
"to throw a halloween party
in her basement,
"to show the neighborhood
it really wasn't a dungeon.
Who's that over there?
Laura: I don't know.
She's kind of little to be
at this party by herself.
Hi, um, little girl?
Oh, hi. I'm Anna.
Do you want to
hold my baby?

daddy and I got you
for your birthday, Anna.
I love her. thank you
for giving her to me.
My baby's gone!
Emily!
I want my baby back!
[ engine rumbling ]
Emily, I want my baby back!
[ gasps ]
[ tires screech ]
no!
[ thunder rumbling ]
[ crying ]
[ thunder crashes ]
[ muffled ] aah! Help me!
Somebody help me!
[ breathing heavily ]
I want my baby back.
Aah!
Are you okay?
I feel like
I'm going crazy.
What did she look like?
Like a little girl
who just climbed
out of a grave.
I think she must be,
like, 7 or 8.
And she definitely
wants her baby back.
Laura: Amanda...
[ metal clatters ]
[ both scream ]
what's the matter
with you guys?
What was that noise?
I knocked over a shovel.
Robin, did you do this?
Some of it.
What do you mean,
"some of it"?
I mean I helped.
Helped who? Barnsey?
No way.
I wouldn't color
with Barnsey
if she had the last
piece of chalk on earth.
Then who did
you color with?
Anna -- the girl I saw
crying on the patio
when Barnsey
took the doll.
And now Anna wants Emily
to give her baby back.
How do you know all of this?
Anna told me.
Got to add some purple.
Anna likes purple.
We've got problems
even bigger than Barnsey.
[ door slams ]
just the girls
I was looking for.
Oh. who wants
their baby back?
Anna, the ghost.
Right.
Well, maybe she'll get it back
in time for halloween.
Okay, I'll give you $5 each
if you'll ride your bikes
over to Mrs. Jenkins' house
on abernathy street
and deliver
the jewelry she ordered.
Mrs. Jenkins: thanks, girls.
Tell your mom hi.
Okay.
I can't believe that the little
girl from Barnsey's dungeon
is a friendly ghost.
What do you mean?
I mean she was coloring
with Robin, right?
So,
that's pretty friendly.
I guess.
I don't even have
the stupid doll anymore.
Someone named Emily
has the doll.
So, why doesn't Anna
just go find Emily?
We have to find out
who Emily is.
Hey, wait up!
I-i can't!
I'm not even pedaling!
Try the brakes!
[ brakes squeaking ]
I can't stop!
[ squeaking continues ]
Amanda! Hold up!
Slow down!
Wait for me!
[ breathing heavily ]
Anna?
Anna?
I-i know you want
your baby back.
I don't have her,
so you've got to
stop haunting me.
I think somebody named Emily
has your baby.
I don't know anybody
named Emily.
[ echoing ] you have to
tell Emily to give my baby back,
or no one will rest.
I don't know anybody
named Emily!
I can't believe it.
I saw her.
I saw Anna the ghost.
What did she say to you?
Emily.
What are you doing
with my mail?!
Let's get out of here!
[ growls ]
Anna: [ echoing ] you have to
tell Emily I want my baby back.
Amanda, come on!
Hurry, she's coming!
Oh!
Amanda: aah!
Amanda!
Hey, wait up.
Where are you going so fast?
Amanda: you'll see.
We're coming up.
Jarrad: okay.
Amanda:
Anna the ghost is real.
I saw her with my own two eyes.
And you're never gonna believe
who Emily is.
Barnsey.
What are you guys
talking about?
It says "occupant."
Give me that!
This is supposed to have
"Emily Barns" written on it.
You guys were going through
Barnsey's mail?
Anna the ghost
threw Barnsey's mail at me.
She was just trying to
tell me who Emily is
so that she can get
her baby back.
And Emily is Barnsey.
And Barnsey has the baby.
So if Amanda
doesn't get it for her,
nobody's gonna
rest in peace.
How hard
is that to follow?
[ sighs ]
there's only one solution.
Hide?
I'm just gonna go right up
to Barnsey and ask her for it.
[ toy clatters ]
no. it's the only surefire way
to get yourself murderized.
If I'm going,
you're going.
Don't you think
it's kind of weird
that out of all the houses
in the neighborhood,
Barnsey's doesn't have
any halloween decorations?
This whole house
is a decoration.
You know what?
I think it would be best
if I stay behind.
That way,
if something goes wrong,
I could at least
try to save you guys.
I think I'll stay,
too.
That way, I can go for help
if you need it.
Ayou coming?
[ door creaks ]
[ both gasp ]
what do you want?
Miss Barns?
We've come to ask you
to give back the doll.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Anna's doll.
Jarrad:
miss Barns, are you okay?
[ gasps ]
what kind of cruel joke
are you two playing?
Miss Barns,
this is not a joke.
You get off my property
right now, and don't come back,
because I promise you,
if I ever catch you here again,
I will not give you the chance
to walk away.
[ door slams ]
[ both gasp ]
we need to come up
with a serious plan.
I'm thinking.
What?
Both: shh!
[ Robin speaking indistinctly ]
[ boing! ]
[ whoosh, swish, swish! ]
[ swish, swish, swish! ]
[ squeak! Squeak! ]
[ honk! ]
[ swish! Whirl! Whoosh! ]
[ pitter! Pitter! Pitter! ]
[ whispering
indistinctly ]
Robin: you can have
any doll you want. really.
I would never
take one of your babies, Robin.
I just want
my own baby back.
Someone has to get
my baby back.
I will not
leave without her.
Whoa.
That's pretty creepy.
Yeah.
So, what happens to them?
Should we read
and find out?
Okay.
Yeah.
"Amanda and her friends
finally came up with a plan
"to get the doll back.
"it was a dangerous plan,
"too dangerous
to attempt in the daylight.
"they had to wait
until after dark,
"until everyone else,
especially Barnsey, was asleep,
so they could sneak into her
backyard and dig up that doll."
[ both laugh ]
didn't I tell you
that you looked stupid?
If I'm gonna be breaking
into Barnsey's backyard,
I want to make sure
nobody see me doing it.
Then you might want to
get rid of those boots.
They practically
glow in the dark.
No way.
I'm wearing them for protection
in case I step on any rats.
Kevin.
Will you stop that?
There are no rats.
It's right here.
[ dirt scraping ]
baby: mama.
Quick, get that doll
out of the ground
so we can get out of here.
Maybe we should just
get out of here now.
Not without that doll.
Be quiet.
You're gonna wake up Barnsey.
Laura! Keep that thing
shined at the ground
so we can see
what we're doing.
And, Kevin,
watch the house.
And what do you
want her to do?
Keep digging.
[ nervously ] how you doing?
Everybody keep quiet,
or we're gonna wake Barnsey.
You already have.
[ gasps ]
[ whines ]
don't move.
Don't breathe.
I promise you, if you do, you'll
never see the light of day.
[ all screaming ]
Emily,
you have to look at me!
I warned you.
I warned you, child,
what would happen if you
ever came on my property again.
[ heart beating ]
why don't you run?
I'm not leaving until
you give back Anna's doll.
You want Anna's doll?
Fine! Fine!
I'd be happy
to get rid of that doll.
I'm so sorry I ever took it
in the first place!
I'm sorry!
It was the worst day of my life
when I took it,
and every second for 65 years,
I've regretted it.
[ shovel clatters ]
so, here. here it is.
Here.
You take that doll!
[ echoing ]
Emily, please!
I want my baby back!
I want my baby back!
Please!
[ crying ]
give her back to me!
My baby's gone!
Emily, I want my baby back!
[ tires screech ]
Emily!
[ crying ] oh, Anna.
Is it really you?
Yes, Emily.
It's really me.
Anna.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry
i-i took your doll.
I -- I didn't mean it. I just --
I just wanted to play with it.
And I was gonna
give it right back to you.
And I never,
ever had the chance.
And I didn't mean
for anything to happen.
I would give anything
in the whole wide world
to change that.
You can't change the past,
Emily.
But you can
give my baby back to me.
Oh, yes.
Your little baby.
It's your baby, darling.
It belongs to you.
[ sniffles ]
I'm so glad
you have your baby back.
[ gasps, laughs ]
now I can rest.
Yes.
Now we can all rest.
Yes. yes. yes.
[ sobbing ]
don't cry, miss Barns.
It's okay.
Boy:
so, Barnsey's really nice?
Babysitter: yep.
That's it?
That's the end?
[ inhales deeply ]
not quite.
Buckle your seatbelts 'cause
we're still in for a bumpy ride!
Get them buckled!
Okay. all right.
"it all started after Emily
gave Anna back her baby.
"it was almost as if Barnsey
had been under a spell herself
"because when Anna found a way
to break it,
Emily Barns had become
a whole new person."
"she and the kids decided
"to throw a halloween party
in her basement,
"to show the neighborhood
it really wasn't a dungeon.
Who's that over there?
Laura: I don't know.
She's kind of little to be
at this party by herself.
Hi, um, little girl?
Oh, hi. I'm Anna.
Do you want to
hold my baby?
