Speaker 1: Thirteen Days of Halloween. Devil's Night, a production of I
Speaker 1: Heart three D audio, Blumhouse Television and Grimm and Mild
Speaker 1: from Aaron Maykey Headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised. This is
Speaker 1: a w B r D Devil's Night bullet reminder. The
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department hasn't stated a curfew requiring all citizens to
Speaker 1: remain home until further notice. We've received reports of vandalism,
Speaker 1: are even murder across the streets of Bradberry tonight. Desperation
Speaker 1: has taken root in our little town. And if you're
Speaker 1: looking to take refuge from this evening's cruel tricks, Bradberry
Speaker 1: Picture House invites you to drop on by, whether you're
Speaker 1: in danger, lost, or just incredibly lonely. Our doors are
Speaker 1: always open. Mm hm this this is an air duct
Speaker 1: and it's a dead end. Psilo. I don't know where
Speaker 1: to go, Besilo, Besilo, don't now come in arrow quickly.
Speaker 1: I can't see anything. What is this place? H m
Speaker 1: hm Now the movie theater because there's this thing playing?
Speaker 1: Blow is anyone here? All these empty seats? They must
Speaker 1: be closed. Take it into the lobby, maybe the emergency exit. Ah,
Speaker 1: why would they lock. It just definitely qualifies as an emergency. Well,
Speaker 1: we can't get out, and we can't go back the
Speaker 1: way we came in. There has to be something we
Speaker 1: can't just be trapped in here as well? Can you
Speaker 1: hear me? BESI? Well, where did he go? I can't
Speaker 1: believe I'm saying it arrow, but I wish he was here.
Speaker 1: His help isn't always the most helpful, but at least
Speaker 1: he'd have an idea. I know, boy, there's got to
Speaker 1: be something wrong here. What do you think it is? Movie?
Speaker 1: Is by making it? Use your mind? Popcorns so hard
Speaker 1: to break? Three TV? Is the screen actually made of
Speaker 1: human skin? Hopefully we won't find out to claim a
Speaker 1: movie coming to hell? There must be someone up in
Speaker 1: the projection? Movie? Hello? Hello, Hello, I know someone's out there.
Speaker 1: What's the matter? Is the picture blurry? No? What? Well?
Speaker 1: Then take your seat. They'll disturb the other guests. I'm
Speaker 1: the only one here. Well, lucky, you enjoy the show.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch a movie. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to get out of here. There won't be any refunds.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just let me out. You're free to
Speaker 1: go any time. But all the doors are locked. Hello,
Speaker 1: there is another way out. Come to the back of
Speaker 1: the theater. There's a door hidden in the middle of
Speaker 1: the wall. You know, hello, but I don't see another way.
Speaker 1: Come on Arrow. Well you sure are getting the backstage
Speaker 1: tour tonight? You said there was an exit. This is
Speaker 1: just your office. This is the box. This is where
Speaker 1: the real magic happens. Do you have any idea of
Speaker 1: the work that goes into the exhibition of cinematic I don't,
Speaker 1: and you don't care. I just want to leave. Oh
Speaker 1: calm down now. There's nothing up here that will hurt you.
Speaker 1: You have my word, Max. The screen is not made
Speaker 1: of human skin, though it would hardly be a stretch
Speaker 1: given all you've seen tonight. Who are you? I'm the projectionist.
Speaker 1: And how do you know my name? Your dog is
Speaker 1: very faithful? Uh yeah, Carol's a restaurant. Hmm. How come
Speaker 1: I've never seen you around? Are you new to Bradbury? No,
Speaker 1: I've been here a while. Can't have been that long?
Speaker 1: Is theater is only a few years old? I think
Speaker 1: it opened right before the Craft. The world doesn't revolve
Speaker 1: around motion pictures, Max. There are many ways to tell
Speaker 1: a story. M surely you listen to the radio. I
Speaker 1: I have to get home. Please unlock the doors, but
Speaker 1: the movie is starting. I heard about your fan No
Speaker 1: shame in it. Good hard work and folks all over town.
Speaker 1: If basen the same your fiction? That's is that me? How?
Speaker 1: Who are you? I told you I'm the projectionist? Okay,
Speaker 1: before that? What did people call you before? I was
Speaker 1: the projectionist? I've always been a projectionist. My father was
Speaker 1: a projectionist. His father before him was a projectionist. His
Speaker 1: father before him was He actually worked in textiles, but
Speaker 1: he was the black sheep. Were you talking about? Your grandfather?
Speaker 1: Couldn't have been a projectionist. Don't even movies back there?
Speaker 1: Where did you hear that? My dad told me a
Speaker 1: bit of advice, son, don't listen too much to what
Speaker 1: other people tell you. Everyone's got an agenda. It's the
Speaker 1: ones who say they don't that you can't trust. Well,
Speaker 1: what's your agenda? Don't got one? Hand me that real? Well,
Speaker 1: go on, it won't bite. But to your point, yes,
Speaker 1: I suppose we didn't always call ourselves projectionists. There were
Speaker 1: a host of gadgets that came before this wonderful machine,
Speaker 1: phantoscopes and phasmatropes, zoopraxoscopes and zoo tropes, chromotropes, kinetoscopes, kinnessy graphs,
Speaker 1: pracsino scopes. Before them were the instruments of phantasmagoria, the
Speaker 1: magic lantern, the cameras obscure. And before it all there
Speaker 1: was the art of silhouette, the puppetry of handshadows against
Speaker 1: a fire lit cavern wall. And for all of them,
Speaker 1: in every era there was an operator, someone who could
Speaker 1: take a moment frozen in time and bring it back
Speaker 1: to life. The projectionist. How did you have that film
Speaker 1: from the orchard of me and the farmer? I see
Speaker 1: everything that happens in Bradberry, all of its stories. Kid,
Speaker 1: What are you doing way out on the highway? No harm?
Speaker 1: And they havn't a decent meal? Who warm yourself up
Speaker 1: a bit? Maybe you could come on, get out of
Speaker 1: the element, get your breath. How how did you get this?
Speaker 1: You said? The dog is your best friend? Huh, Yes,
Speaker 1: he still is a best friend. Who can't talk back.
Speaker 1: It's got my design. Perhaps he's protective too. That's a
Speaker 1: good traitment a friend. But Arrow is not the only
Speaker 1: one protecting you, is he? Just tell me what you
Speaker 1: want here, come turn the crank. Will it make me
Speaker 1: a projectionist with you? As if just anyone could take
Speaker 1: on this mantle? Now what did you do? As I say,
Speaker 1: I unlocked the doors? M m, there's nothing to be
Speaker 1: afraid of. I just want you to have a hand
Speaker 1: in telling this story. Why because it's yours? Llow ll hold?
Speaker 1: Where the all? How did you get this? Birthday? Birthdays yard?
Speaker 1: I was so little at time? Flies, boy, you better
Speaker 1: get to wrap in here. One time lost his job. Children,
Speaker 1: Get down school, Matt? Are you paying attention? I haven't
Speaker 1: been so long. M Does that make you sad? Of course?
Speaker 1: I mean at first I thought I'd get really lonely
Speaker 1: not seeing everyone. But and I'd like kickball with you guys,
Speaker 1: mad pot the point, kickball with the but I all
Speaker 1: move mad off bird. Oh. But it was only after
Speaker 1: I left school that I realized I've always really been lonely,
Speaker 1: and I don't mind so much anymore. No, why is
Speaker 1: that I don't know most people, at least the ones
Speaker 1: I've known, are cruel. I only want to play tricks
Speaker 1: and hurt you. For me, loneliness is like the numb,
Speaker 1: frozen feeling when snow gets inside your mitten. It's frost bite.
Speaker 1: But being around people, trusting them and having them rite
Speaker 1: you down, it's like having your handcut right off, the
Speaker 1: searing pain of human connection. Hence the dog. What do
Speaker 1: you want from me? Don't stop? This is the good part. No,
Speaker 1: I'm done. One more, one more scene, and I promise
Speaker 1: that is it. All your questions will be answered. Fine,
Speaker 1: do not be afraid. You have nothing to fear from me.
Speaker 1: What are you a friend? For a man who sees everything?
Speaker 1: I thought i'd seen everything, but this vesslele as you
Speaker 1: call him? That? An old one? He ala seems to
Speaker 1: show up when you are in trouble. Well, what do
Speaker 1: we have here? Another hitchhiker? You're not my cooker? What
Speaker 1: do you suppose that's because he's saving you from danger?
Speaker 1: You needed me and so I came to help, Or
Speaker 1: because he is the danger back the woman wants us?
Speaker 1: You're not world? Who is he really? Who? You pray? Pray?
Speaker 1: What is he really? You're familiar the thing that follows?
Speaker 1: Why is he so interested in you? Let me walk
Speaker 1: home with you? That is all I ask? And why
Speaker 1: does he need you to trust him? I think you
Speaker 1: are the reason I exist either way, it must be
Speaker 1: nice having someone who's always there. Then again, I wonder
Speaker 1: where he is now. You didn't answer anything. All you
Speaker 1: did was ask questions, why are you keeping me here?
Speaker 1: You didn't really think you're the only one in this
Speaker 1: town who's lonely? Did you? Don't you have friends? I
Speaker 1: spend my days observing other some them afar so close
Speaker 1: that I know every detail, every glorious or dirty secret,
Speaker 1: But nobody knows me. I've had friends, but they're always
Speaker 1: fleeting like her. Let me out, I'll be lea, you're back,
Speaker 1: you're not, and then you won't get away with this.
Speaker 1: But what do these let me go? I don't. Did
Speaker 1: you trap someone nut in the screen? How I'm the projections?
Speaker 1: It's really hard and will happened? They always burn. I've
Speaker 1: tried this before tonight, prisoning others humans inside my screen,
Speaker 1: and it works well until midnight, when the sorcery of
Speaker 1: sam Haine vanishes into the dawn. On any normal day,
Speaker 1: the weak constitution of human flesh and bone are unfit
Speaker 1: to weather my playpen. Only I could find someone of
Speaker 1: in human constitution. Where am I? Well? I guess that's
Speaker 1: the end of the clip shop. What is this place.
Speaker 1: I do not know what happened. I do not know
Speaker 1: how I lost you. Oh? But he's never too far away?
Speaker 1: Is he? Max? Who is that with you? It's the
Speaker 1: projection is highs allow? What is this? Let me out
Speaker 1: of here at one. If there's anything to be gleaned
Speaker 1: from tonight's events is that your Bezel is in his element,
Speaker 1: battling the mortal world, but against something like me. Release me, Priest.
Speaker 1: Perhaps he's not so scary after all? What is going
Speaker 1: on here? I I don't know how to explain it,
Speaker 1: But you're in a movie? What what? Oh? Nothing for
Speaker 1: you to worry about? Bez? Can I call you? Bez?
Speaker 1: I don't know what you are, and I know you'd
Speaker 1: never tell me the truth. But we know you're not human,
Speaker 1: And if my theory is correct, that very inhumanity may
Speaker 1: possess the fortitude to withstand my prison of the damned
Speaker 1: beyond midnight? Or dare I say forever, no way, no way,
Speaker 1: You're gonna trap Beslo here as your friend forever. Max,
Speaker 1: Listen to me. You need to get out of here immediately.
Speaker 1: This is not safe for you. What about you? What
Speaker 1: if he's wrong? You're not able to withstand it at midnight,
Speaker 1: you'd be incinerated. Incinerated. Oh, he'll be fine, better than fine.
Speaker 1: He'll have a new companion, and so finally will I. Oh,
Speaker 1: I won't leave him here, Max, this is not about me.
Speaker 1: You need to go. Let us talk. Of course, Max,
Speaker 1: I'd never ask you to just leave as alone here.
Speaker 1: I'm no common highwayman, after all, I'm a businessman. Let's
Speaker 1: see six hundred seven D eight hundred nine D. That's
Speaker 1: that's for me and your family. You could keep the
Speaker 1: bank from taking your house hack With this much dough,
Speaker 1: you could just buy the bank. Max. It's okay, I
Speaker 1: will be fine, but you have to get out of
Speaker 1: here right now. Do not listen to any of your
Speaker 1: mouth are all incinerate you, and do do not scare me.
Speaker 1: Do your worst, you pathetic little Let's pause right there.
Speaker 1: Please excuse the outburst. The switch to talkies hasn't been easy.
Speaker 1: You're crazy. Have you thought to consider why you don't
Speaker 1: have any friends. I might have a few ideas, Oh,
Speaker 1: I imagine you do. We're not so different, you and I.
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like the way you begin
Speaker 1: to lose feeling go numb. I too have felt the
Speaker 1: frost bite of loneliness. Max, Well, if you like that,
Speaker 1: let go of my arm. I'm gonna love this seering
Speaker 1: pain of human connection. Help me out of this? How
Speaker 1: do I free? Bez? All out? Max? It's going to
Speaker 1: get cooling you in? What are you worried about your
Speaker 1: precious projectors? This projector is more valuable than you can imagine.
Speaker 1: But it's not just that you don't know what you're
Speaker 1: doing well. Times are tough all around. Now now, no no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no. I can't be here. What have you done? Boy?
Speaker 1: What have you done? Hello? Stranger? Stay back, stay back?
Speaker 1: Where's your pause button? Now? Now listen. I'll make you
Speaker 1: a deal. Have another stack of bills on you? You
Speaker 1: know I'm the only one who can get you out
Speaker 1: of here. We will see about that, Max, this would
Speaker 1: be a good time to leave. I am not sure
Speaker 1: you will want to see this. Yeah, mh Bresilo is
Speaker 1: not in the screen anymore. The screen Arrow through the screen.
Speaker 1: There's gotta be an exit back there. H oh grows
Speaker 1: it is human skin. Oh arrow, don't eat it, good boy,
Speaker 1: I guess come on, m hm m hmm. I can't
Speaker 1: see anything back here. Where out arrow? Are you still there?
Speaker 1: A little? Is that following my voice? This way? You're free.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure, but I thought maybe if I grouped
Speaker 1: the projector hurry, there's a trash shoot back here A little? Yes, Max? Well,
Speaker 1: I guess I was expecting a thank you for rescuing me. Max.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you saving me from an eternity enslaved as
Speaker 1: the climate of a deranged projectionist trumped in a movie
Speaker 1: screen meat a flesh. Oh thank you, Max. Now please
Speaker 1: get in the shoote. This will drop you behind the building.
Speaker 1: What about you? Aren't you coming? No, I need to
Speaker 1: finish the movie. But how you Carol? Don't worry. Bisilo
Speaker 1: will be okay. Yeah, he'll be okay. Come on, buddy,
