Creature from Cannibal Creek

I really do not like this.

You're such a pussy.

Pussy's got nothing to do with it.

You know how I feel about this forest.

- Yeah, what was it, something your mom said?

Yeah, she said there's like,

you know, a curse or something.

Like a death curse?

Well, that's what she said.

That's what she said.

Um.

You were just a kid, dude.

Yeah, so?

- You sure she wasn't just telling you that

to keep you out of the woods?

Keep your dirty little boy hands clean?

I mean, I mean, maybe.

But at the same time, it feels pretty, you know, specific.

Well, that does sound pretty Pacific.

- Yeah, you know, she spoke about these woods

like they were some sort of living thing.

Like they were a lightning rod for all sorts of bad shit.

- Come on, dude, when in the history of the world

has lightning ever struck a tree?

Fair point, I guess that's why

I let you talk me to come out here.

Come on, dude, you gotta get over this.

Ellis Hardy's having a bush party next month

and we gotta be ready.

I do wanna be with her again.

Okay.

Yeah, cool.

- Now, you better hope nothing happens to me out here.

I promise, if anything happens to you,

I'll move into a shack at the edge of the woods

built in the late-1880s for the rest of my life.

Yeah, that sounds fair to me.

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

I mean, come on, dude, it's...

Dude, he has a fucking...

Fucking, come on, dude, run.

Get after them.

No, my legs.

- Don't let the other one get away.

Come on.

No.

No.

Stay back.

No.

No.

Step aside, dummy.

Dead critter, no meat.

- Hold your damn horses, you big, smelly oaf.

This ain't ready to be ate just yet.

You'll wait for your damn supper just like the rest of us.

Make all the damn noise you want, you stupid shit.

I told you this here meat is for our supper

and I fucking meant it.

Don't you give me no backtalk, mister.

I'll put your head on a spike

before I take any lip from the likes of you.

You are a tenacious little bastard.

Now, get.

Neptune?

Is he out in that damn woods again?

Don't he know it ain't safe to go out there

with all them ghosts and goblins?

Well, I hope he ain't stupid enough to stay out there

after dark or there'll be hell to pay.

Got anything else to say, dummy?

Well, don't you worry none about that, Eddie.

You know we only eat filthy sinners

just like the good lord demands.

That's right, Eddie.

Eating is good because we're all sinners at heart.

Well, all right already.

You're worse than a damn dog in heat.

Here's a morsel.

Now, don't you go letting that ruin your supper.

Damn kids today.

Don't have a lick of patience.

Now, hear me out, boy.

Now, listen, don't go taking the law into your own hands.

Leave the investigation to us professionals.

Sir.

What is it, Rose?

Can't you see I'm on the phone?

Your ex-wife is on line two.

Crud muffin.

You tell her to hang on.

Hello, boy, you still there?

That sumbitch hung up on me.

Line two, sir.

Gad blast it.

Careless.

Poor animal.

Not very respectful.

Neptune reporting in.

I read you, Neptune, go ahead.

- Harriet, we've got a hiker out in the woods.

Send Eddie for backup.

He's down by the fallen tree down by Holland's Pass.

Alrighty, I'll send him.

You boys better get back here long before dark.

Roger that.

We'll get back as soon as we bag him.

How's he look?

He looks tender.

Good.

Base, out.

What is with this rain?

This is a weird forest.

One more.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Take it easy, now.

There's no need for violence.

Why don't you put that sword down?

Okay, man.

Stay calm.

Wait a minute.

It's you, isn't it?

You're the one responsible for all the disappearances.

What are you, brain-dead?

You can't hack him up out here.

It's a lot easier to bring him back in one piece.

Give me that sword.

How many times have I told you not to touch my stuff?

Besides, this one here's still alive.

And you never hacked up a live one before.

I know you didn't mean it.

Now help me get him back into the barn.

No.

Wait.

Get him inside.

I gotta go back in the forest and get my sword.

What is this place?

Aren't any of you gonna answer me?

They don't like us talking in here.

I couldn't care less what they like.

I...

They'll punish you.

They'll probably punish all of us.

Please, lower your voice.

Hey.

Shut up.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll be quiet.

Look.

I'm David.

Could one of you please tell me what's going on?

I'm Jennifer.

We were grabbed up by these animals

while we were hiking in the forest.

I imagine the same thing happened to you?

Are there any more captives?

Maybe in another location.
