Mom!
No, no, you coddle him too much,
I'll handle it,
He's got to learn not to be so scared of the dark,
He's only six years old,
I want my mom,
Well, you got me,
There's a monster in my room,
Where?
Under my bed,
No monsters, now you go to sleep,
I want some water,
Jason, do you remember what we talked about, hmm?
You're a big boy now,
He just pretended to look,
I'll look,
There's nothing under there,
Now, do you really need some water?
No,
Okay, everything's okay then?
I love you, Mommy,
I love you more,
Muah, get some sleep,
Tell you what, tomorrow, we'll go find you a special friend,
You know, like a stuffed animal or something
to keep you save at night, okay?
Good job, all right, let's go,
Maybe we'll find something in here,
Look, look, it's there, it's all over the place,
Oh, I love it, cobblestone,
Yeah, yeah, cool,
Let's find an elephant,
Oh, let's see if we can find that,
Mom, look,
He's big,
Yeah, hey, that's bigger,
Yes,
Or maybe not,
Oh, these are cool,
Oh, they are,
They've got all kinds of cool stuff,
Oh, I haven't seen that since I was 12,
Come on, come on, Jason, let's go,
All right, you gotta stay with me, all right?
Okay, oh cool!
Honey, don't touch anything,
Hello,
Oh, oh,
Are you looking for something specific or just browsing?
Um, just browsing I guess,
Hey, Mister, I kinda like this one,
Oh, honey, I don't think that that one's for sale,
Oh, it's all right, ma'am,
He's a very special one, he is, Patrick O'Malley,
He's special all right,
He's sad, he looks like he needs a friend,
Well, that's because, well, well, wait,
Yes, I think he needs a little bit of my special attention,
Honey, why do you like that one?
Why don't we, is that a burn mark on his face,
Yes, it is, a burn mark,
See, he needs somebody to take care of him,
Why don't we just keep looking, honey,
I'm sure that Patrick is very special,
but I think if we find something else, you'll feel a lot,,,
Oh, no, he is very special,
Let me tell you a story about him,
Not so very long ago, in a place not so very far from here,
Georgia had a gold rush that occurred
20 years before the California one,
and leprechauns love gold,
Now, our tale has finished and our story's complete,
don't be sad, dear ones, for was the ending not sweet?
Now, be off to your homes, dears, and fast on your feet,
Happy Halloween everyone, trick-or-treat,
Mommy, why didn't Daddy call tonight?
He always does,
I'm sure he was very busy, honey,
I wanted to tell him about my Halloween costume,
He'll call tomorrow, I'm sure,
You can tell him then,
Ready for sleep?
Monster check,
No monsters here,
All clear,
No monsters,
I want Zachary,
There was leprechauns,
Who told you that?
Bobby at school,
Oh, don't worry about them,
They're just fairy shoemakers,
I wanna meet the leprechauns,
Now, that's enough about leprechauns,
Go to sleep,
Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite, love you,
I don't wanna meet a leprechaun,
How's the book report coming?
Fine,
Mom, this place is like out of some horror film,
It's creepy and gross,
There are these kids at school,
and they were telling me some weird story about this house,
Weird, in what ways?
Well, it's, it's weird,
Katelin, it's Halloween,
They were just probably trying to scare you,
Well, my friend, Terry,
said something about all these bloody murders,
and I was just wondering,,,
Well, I hate to contradict the all-knowing Terry,
but there were no bloody murders in this house,
I love this house,
I used to come here when I was a little girl,
My great-grandmother lived here,
The one you were named after,
That's when Susan and I became friends,
Terry said all sorts of bad things happened in this place,
Did you know this place was called Irish Mountain?
Yeah, I knew that,
Look, it's been a long night,
Let's talk about this tomorrow,
Tomorrow's Halloween, can we get pizza
before we go trick-or-treating?
That would be fine,
We have a right to know if evil, creepy, little monsters
are living in this place,
Katelin, really, would I intentionally
put your life in harms way, monsters?
The more sounds she noticed, the creepier the house felt,
Just as she was thinking these morbid thoughts,
a face appears in the window,
one that clearly did not wish to be seen,
Susan, what're you doing lurking on my front porch?
What're you doing with the knife?
Would you like some cider?
I just made some,
Yeah,
Surprised Irish Mountain was on your route,
I was just ah, seeing how you were settling in,
Changed routes with Dooley and thought, well,
I wanted to come bang on your door,
Honestly, Susan, some kids at school
have been telling my kids these wild stories
about leprechauns committing murder,
I'm having enough trouble convincing her
we're not moving back to Atlanta as it is,
Well, Halloween's coming up,
They're focused on scary stuff,
Besides, those stories are partly true,
Oh, not you too,
We both know what happened that day,
They're just stories,
I know what I saw,
Look, we were little kids,
We were probably just imagining things,
12 is pretty old,
I think I know what I saw,
Well, I have been kind of uncomfortable here,
I thought it was because I moved back
into my great-grandmother's old house,
but there's something weird about that fireplace,
What's wrong with it?
That's just it,
Maybe the kids are right,
because at night it really gets to you,
You know, for a lady that writes scary stories,
you're kind of antsy,
Oh yeah, well, with everybody talking about
what they've been talking about,
it's just, you know, made me a little nervous,
And?
And brought back some memories I'd rather not think about,
Do you still have the coin?
The one from the cemetery?
I haven't seen that since I was like 13,
Well, that's not what's chasing us, you know,
So you've said,
Seriously, Jess, remember the graves?
Boy, you're stubborn,
Well, your great, great, or however many great-grandmother,
right next to her grave was a smaller grave,
It was probably a child,
It wasn't a child,
Look, I'll take you there right now,
We can go look at it,
No, I'm not ever going back there, ever,
I've gotta tell the kids to stay away,
and tomorrow I have to tell them something
about the legend of the leprechaun,
Well, I gotta go back to work,
You probably won't be attacked by a leprechaun
in at least the next two days I figure,
Catch you later, doll,
Bye,
Hey, honey, is Ireland beautiful?
It's green, so beautiful,
Wish we moved here instead,
Oh yeah, the kids will love that,
Is everything okay?
Yeah, just tired,
Almost finished unpacking all the boxes,
Hold on, the kids wanna say hi,
Hey, kids, come say hi to your dad!
Hi, Dad, guess who I'm gonna be for Halloween?
A wizard, he's the coolest,,,
Dork, give me a chance,
Don't call your brother names,
I'm going as an Amazon warrior,
Oh, wish I could be there with you guys,
should be heading to the airport in about 30 minutes,
I'll see you tomorrow,
Safe travels, hey kids, go get ready for school,
It's almost time for the bus,
Bye, Dad,
Bye, Dad!
Bye, guys, have a good day,
So, what's up, Jess?
You look really stressed,
Ah, it's just the move,
Hurry home, sweetie, I love you,
Love you too, bye,
All right, kids, go get your book bags!
You don't scare me,
Oh, paper towels, paper towels,
Mom, I'm home!
Hey, I wanted one,
Hey, kids, how was school?
Cool,
Ronnie Jackson got suspended,
He brought a bag of frogs and let them loose in math class,
Who's Ronnie Jackson?
Just a boy in my math class,
Is he cute?
Well, I thought so until today,
Frogs are the creepiest,
I like frogs,
Of course you do, you're an icky boy,
I'm not icky,
Cool doll,
Where'd you get that?
I um, I went out to the mailbox today,
and when I got back to the house,
he was sitting on the front porch,
You didn't see who left it?
Maybe it was your Ronnie Jackson,
He's not my Ronnie Jackson,
Maybe he might've been
if he hadn't pulled that stupid stunt, so immature,
Well, Susan's gonna go trick-or-treating with us,
so go ahead and get your homework done, or no pizza,
You promised!
Oh, you look great,
I need to pay for that,
Already done, my lady?
Oh, thank you,
Hey kids, pizza!
I love your costume,
Thanks,
Hey, kids, why don't you
take your plates into the kitchen,
and go get your costumes on?
All right,
What the hell is this?
It's the creepiest thing,
This afternoon when I went to the mailbox,
I got back to the house,
that leprechaun doll was sitting on the front porch,
It's very funny, Susan,
I didn't do it,
Well, it must've been some kid,
It wasn't me,
Do you have any idea what blood for gold means?
Never mind,
So, did you tell them?
It was just like I expected,
As soon as they find out I think I saw a leprechaun,
they wanna go where I saw it,
So, take them and show them,
Maybe it'll make all this go away,
Yeah, they'd probably go
looking for it on their own anyway,
I know, we chase kids
out of that old cemetery all the time,
Where did you come from?
There wasn't a card, nothing?
Nothing,
That is strange,
You know what?
This is stupid,
That's the end of that,
Oh, you guys look great,
Two Amazon warriors, yours is old,
It's perfect,
Should've made Daniel a leprechaun,
Hey, have you guys got your flashlights?
I'll go get mine,
Sure you don't wanna come?
Think of all the candy you'll miss,
Yeah, my head's killing me,
Anyway, I get a percentage of the kid's haul, have fun,
Where are you?
Wow, look how beautiful nature is,
I know, so pretty,
Yeah,
Look,
Is that gold?
Do you think it's real?
I gotta look,
Mom, what're you doing?
Ah, deary, I'll be putting away things for sure,
Why are you talking like that?
Like what, deary?
You sound like Merida from Brave,
Go to bed, Katie, everything's fine,
Mom, Mom, take it,
Mom, look at all the great candy I got!
Oh wow, that's amazing,
It's getting late, hotshot,
You can sort your candy in the morning,
You're acting weird, Mom,
Where's Susan?
Right here, your haul,
It's all I could get,
Oh, thank you, pretty meager,
Now, that's interesting,
Wonder how they did that?
All right, kids, time for bed,
Go brush your teeth and don't eat any candy,
Time for bed,
Go to bed, go to bed,
Brush your teeth,
I'll be up to tuck you in,
Yeah, were they good?
Yeah, yeah,
Thank you,
Duty calls,
Ah, the perils of being an Amazon princess,
How's your head?
Oh, it's better, thanks,
All right, goodnight,
Now it's my turn, you little, green shit,
Damn,
People have long speculated
that when the Irish populated the North Georgia mountains,
a clan of leprechauns came with them,
Folklorists believe the leprechauns,
which are said to be surly, if not evil,
settled on Irish Mountain and mined gold from there, hmm,
Gotcha!
Legend suggests the leprechauns lost control
of the property to a woman named Katie Kelly,
Katie Kelly was said to have married
one of the little people,
The goldmine is believed to be on Mrs, Kelly's property,
also known as Irish Mountain to this day known as founder,
I knew you couldn't resist,
That's all you've got?
According the the folklore,
leprechauns require the blood sacrifice
of a female descendant of Mrs, Kelly's
in order to reopen the lost goldmine,
Upon her death in 1906,
Mrs, Kelly's daughter claimed her final words were
blood for gold,
Oh, shit, alluding to the person which, oh no,
Dear God, Jess,
Jess,
Oh my God, Jess!
Are you okay?
What the hell happened?
Jess, are you all right?
Hey, hey, easy, easy,
Easy, come on, hey,
You're home,
Hey, yeah, hey,
Easy, easy,
Should I call an ambulance?
No, no, no,
No!
It, it was,
Mom, what happened?
Dad!
Hey, buddy, mm, I missed you,
Presents,
Yeah, that one's yours and that one's yours,
A leprechaun,
Thank you, Dad!
Daniel!
And they never found the other two dolls,
I want this one, Mommy,
Oh no, honey, why don't we just keep looking, okay?
I'm sure that Patrick is very happy here,
Come on, honey, let's go,
Mommy, is that story true?
Oh, honey, I'm sure it's just a story,
Well, it, it's a story,
but, but everyone has a story, even them,
He doesn't look that scary,
There's nothing scary about a leprechaun,
Look around, my little friend,
We have lots of dolls and toys here,
Surely, one of them will catch your eye,
Oh, oh, goodness,
What happened to her?
She looks worse than the leprechaun,
Patty is very old, very old indeed,
Well, she goes back all the way to the 1800s,
Oh, is she porcelain?
Porcelain, no, she's much older than that,
Porcelain would have a shiny glaze,
I believe she came from Germany,
How she got here I don't know,
How'd she break,
Did you drop her?
Jason, honey, that's, that's not polite,
No, no, no, little one,
I wasn't the one who broke her delicate soul,
No, I'm, I'm afraid she was broken
long before her face cracked,
I'm sorry, I, I don't understand,
Yeah, I leave for the convention in the morning,
This isn't a doll show again, is it?
No, it's not another doll show,
It's a science fiction convention,
Will there be any eligible young men there?
I'm not sure what kind of men are gonna be there,
but there will be some brand of testosterone present,
Good heavens, yes, there will be men there,
Thank goodness for that,
Are you taking your dolls to the show?
Some of them,
As many as I can anyway,
You're not gonna make yourself
look ridiculous again, are you?
I'm not gonna look ridiculous,
I'll be in costume, never mind,
You're a lovely girl,
but you're not getting any younger, missy,
Abby?
Yeah, I'm here,
You sound distracted,
I'm just waiting on a package,
Not another doll, I hope,
Actually, it is another doll,
You're always playing with dolls,
How are you gonna meet any young men?
How old are you now anyhow, 30?
I'm only 28, and I,
I think I've still got a few good years left in me,
Not that anyone would want me,
Look, Aunt Sally, I gotta go, okay?
I'll talk to you later, bye,
Hi, Crystal, it's Abby, Abby Freeman,
I'm still waiting on the package to come in the mail,
I'm coming to your workshop this weekend,
and I'm really looking forward to seeing you,
Call me back if you can, bye,
Patty?
Where are you?
Patty, you frightened me,
Where have you been?
What are you wishing for, my dearest Abby?
My new doll,
My Abby doll,
and then my wish will come true,
And what wish might that be, pray tell?
To be beautiful like a doll, like all my dolls
before you destroyed them,
You have me,
You have no need of anyone else,
I am the only one stayed by your side after the fire,
Everyone else abandoned us,
We only have each other,
We belong together forever,
It's here,
She's beautiful,
Patty, you're not gonna hurt this one,
Your wagon's taking up all the room,
Look at this,
What's this a freak show?
You need to give all these dolls a ride to the junk heap,
Why don't you shut your yap,
you cock sucking son of a bitch?
Hey, nobody talks to me like that,
I warned you,
Look, Doc, that doll just attacked me,
Jack, go sleep it off,
Abby Freeman?
Holy,
Jeremy?
What're you do, I,,,
I didn't wanna take the elevator,
Here, let me give you a hand with this,
Wait is that?
That's Patty, you remember her, don't you?
Yeah, she looks a little worse for wear, but,,,
The fire, remember how it changed both of us?
Shit, yeah, um, I'm sorry,
It's okay,
God, it's so good to see you,
Do you, like, are you running off somewhere?
Do you think we could get together a little bit later, talk?
Yeah,
Ah, let me give you a hand with this,
So, how have you been?
After the fire, I never heard from you,
I couldn't find you,
I mean everywhere I looked just turned up just dead end,
It was like you vanished off the face of the earth,
Then we moved up North,
I ended up going to college up there,
It's okay, no big deal,
I didn't mean to drop the ball, I'm sorry,
It's not your fault,
They moved me to a different rehab facility,
then another surgery, and then more,
you know, typical nightmare stuff,
Where'd you go after that?
I had to move in with my crazy aunt,
And now?
I was able to use some of the insurance settlement
to buy a little house in Granite Creek,
Do you live alone?
It's just me and my dolls,
Yeah, do you always take her everywhere with you?
Don't judge Patty,
She was there for me when no one else was,
Okay, okay,
I'm gonna run to the restroom really quick,
Well, here we are,
You really freak me out,
Is everything okay,
Never mind, it's nothing,
I've got that D and B panel coming up I gotta go get to,
but maybe we can get together after?
I'd like that,
Great,
Could Jeremy really wanna be with me again?
He thinks you're ugly just like me,
just like all of us,
You're probably right, Patty,
I guess it's just wishful thinking,
Hi, Crystal, it's Abby again,
Ah, I've been trying to reach you,
I've been doing some research since last year's con,
Remember when you said
magic is in the air at the convention?
I know everybody else thought you were joking,
but I could tell that you were talking to me,
It's like we had this connection,
Please call me back as soon as you can,
Crystal is bad,
She only wants to hurt you,
You don't need her,
You only need me,
Patty, stop, that's enough,
Crystal is not bad,
You think I'm ugly, don't you?
No, of course I don't think you're ugly,
but every time I've tried to fix you, you won't let me,
It's because we belong together,
but now you will save only yourself,
You want to change and leave me for him,
No, Patty, I promise,
I will never, ever leave you,
You want to leave me ugly and alone,
Patty, how could you do this, her hair,
You promised you'd be nice!
That's it, Patty,
You're coming with me,
Hmm,
Hey,
Um, so, I see you brought your little friend,
Ah, I thought we were gonna be alone?
She won't bother us,
It's a convention after all,
Yeah,
You seem excited,
What's going on?
There's a workshop that I've been looking forward to,
Ah, it's tonight,
Anything I might be interested in?
Oh, I don't, I don't know,
It's just this lady that I saw speak last year,
and I've been waiting all year to see her again,
She just talks about telling fortunes and stuff like that,
Oh, okay, great,
You seem happy,
I guess it's just better
to look forward to the future instead of the past,
You know what I mean?
Yeah, absolutely,
I love seeing this change in you,
I love seeing you happy,
You're even more beautiful when you're happy,
It ah, brings back memories,
I wasn't sure if I should tell you this,
but I still have our old picture,
The one that we took at the Valentine's Day dance
back in school,
Gosh, I forgot about that,
I was wearing the fedora,
I thought that was so in,
Jeremy, are you okay?
Sir, are you all right?
Yeah, no, fine, I, something on my nose,
Do you want me to get the manager?
No, no, no need, it's fine, thank you,
I think I'm just gonna go,
Wait, I'll come with you,
No, no, no, no, it's okay,
You, you go to your workshop and ah, I'll go get patched up,
I'll be all right,
I kept our photo too,
How dare you,
You are out of control,
Patty, why did you do that to Jeremy?
You could've seriously hurt him,
I don't know what's gotten into you,
How could you do this?
He's bad, I tried to protect you,
Jeremy!
Patty, it's only you,
I had, it was horrible,
I had this night, never mind,
I'm gonna go see Jeremy,
I decided to tell him I can't see him anymore,
Did you hear me, Patty?
I said I'm not gonna see him anymore,
I heard you, dearest Abby,
You have made a decision, have you?
Well, yeah, I have,
It's too late for me to change,
and I'm gonna tell him so,
I see,
I'm gonna leave you here so I can talk to him privately,
You understand, don't you?
Certainly,
Promise me you won't hurt Abby,
Of course,
I'm trusting you to keep your promise, Patty,
A promise should not be forsaken,
I rejoice in our bounties of love and trust,
I knew I could count on you,
You're my best friend, Patty,
Hey,
Can I come in?
Yeah, of course,
I see they fixed you up,
Yeah, they, they left awhile ago,
I was worried about you,
I'll be okay,
You cut your lip,
I washed my makeup off,
I noticed,
I like you better this way,
You're beautiful, Abby,
You've always been beautiful to me,
I wouldn't lie to you,
Do you trust me?
I do,
There's a con coming up in California,
We could go together,
I'd like that,
Oh, what about your little friend?
No more,
No more dolls?
No more Patty,
I'm glad to see you kept your promise, Patty,
I did not violate my covenant,
I detest falsehood,
Do you not agree?
Yeah, of course I do,
Blessed are the pure in heart,
Lying lips are an abomination,
Is our poor, dearest boy broken hearted,
Ah, we cleared the air,
Everything's good now,
I know where I belong now,
Yes, I'll leave you alone now
to cleanse away the sins of your day,
Patty, what're you doing?
Complimentary room service, dearest Abby,
Did you think you could fool me?
No, Patty, don't!
You fornicated with him,
The stink of him clings to you still,
You fornicated with him,
Patty, you don't understand,
You want to abandon me!
No!
You wish for beauty for yourself,
but would leave me ugly and alone!
Patty, I tried to fix you and you wouldn't let me!
And now you'll have your precious wish,
You can be a beautiful doll!
I offer this sacrifice oh, father of darkness!
The flesh of this spirit shall reek with decay!
Which is right, I offer this daughter,
Oh, master of darkness, I give unto thee!
Did you think I would let you leave me for him?
Patty!
Don't worry, dearest Abby,
We'll all be together soon forever,
Jeremy,
Be careful what you wish for,
Hello, Jeremy, you wanna play?
No, I didn't think so,
I've been playing with Abby,
We've been having so much fun,
Oh, my God,
Oops, gotta get home now,
It wouldn't do to fall to pieces
Abby, what have you done?
Hello, lover boy, how nice of you to come,
Abby, what's going on?
You and Abby have been very bad,
Do you like her?
I made her just for you,
Jeremy, aren't I beautiful?
My scar is gone,
Jeremy, look what I can do,
I have a surprise for you,
No, no, stay away,
Jeremy,
Abby, no, no, Abby,
Hug me and kiss me,
No!
Housekeeping!
What a mess,
Hey, Mary, come check this out,
What's going on?
Somebody left us a present,
It's just more junk for lost and found,
Not what I say,
I say finders keepers,
Some day those sticky fingers of yours
is gonna get you in a lot of trouble,
I'm keeping them,
Stealing is stealing,
That's all there is to it,
Now, these are gonna make
a nice present for my granddaughter,
Come on, Jason, let's go, come on,
Honey, let's go,
But,
Honey,
But, but, but,
What?
Mom, you promised,
I know I did, but I tell you what,
We can go somewhere else and look,
because I just don't think this place
has what we're looking for, okay?
Mommy, please?
Honey,
What about, what about a stuffed animal?
We have lots of those,
You know what?
I, I, excuse me,
Sir, I think we made a mistake,
Well, I'm sure he'll find something safe there,
Oh, none of them have stories, do they?
I mean, like the ones you told us,
Yes, well, everything in this, in this store,
in this world has a story to tell,
He's a nice, nice boy,
He deserves a nice safe home,
Excuse me?
What's his name?
Well, he doesn't have a name yet,
You're gonna have to give him one,
Clowns have always just made me afraid,
Ever since that movie The Poltergeist came out,
Oh, that movie nearly killed the clown doll business,
I mean clowns are supposed to make you happy,
supposed to make you smile,
Yeah, and so are leprechauns,
Touche,
He can stay in my room with me,
I think he'll like it,
Well, clowns are supposed to be protectors of happiness,
protectors of smiles, protectors of good wishes,
They don't like unhappiness,
They'll do anything they can
to protect them from such things,
Well, I guess we'll take him,
Good,
We'll be best friends,
I'll name you Giggles,
Giggles, that's a perfect name,
Now, I'll tell you what,
Giggles would normally sell for $30,
but what's that?
Uh huh, uh huh, well, Giggles wants to be your friend,
and he wants to protect you,
so I will only sell him for $20,
Okay,
Thank you,
Thank you, goodbye, my little friend,
Be safe, bye, Giggles,
Dad!
Oh, my God,
That is it!
What,
I'm gonna teach that kid some discipline,
Tom, no!
Sit your ass back down now,
What the hell is it now?
I,,,
Yeah,
I'm scared,
Of what?
Giggles told me there's a monster in here,
Really, well, let's take a look,
Nothing in there,
It ah, doesn't look like there's ah,
anything over here either,
Hey, where's the doll?
Where's the God damn doll?
What?
The one your mom spent $20 of my hard-earned money,
so you wouldn't interrupt us every damn night,
Where is it?
Under my bed,
So, thought you'd hide it from us, huh?
I'm gonna take that sissy clown,
and I'm gonna throw it in the trash,
and I'm gonna give you a good,,,
Mom!
