As the children make their escape, the Sanderson Sisters continue to battle with the 'Burning Rain of Death.'

"Oh, confound it!", Winifred gives up and testes the water.

"Winnie!", Mary cries.

"Shut up! It is but water."

"Most refreshing.", Mary tastes it.

"Ahh...it is.", Sarah tastes the water.

"You idiots. The boy has tricked us, and he's stolen the book. After them!", Winifred orders.

The sisters hurry outside, but stop just by the side of the road. The road is black concrete and a little wet, so it kind of looks like a river.

"Tis a black river.", Mary says.

"Perhaps it is not to deep.", Sarah says as she puts her foot out to test it. Winifred and Mary shove her onto the road.

"Ahhhh!!", But she doesn't sink, and she starts to hop around a bit.

"Tis firm."

Winifred makes to step out onto the road.

"Careful, Winnie."

"'Tis firm as stone.", Sarah continues.

"Why, it's a road. Sisters, my book!", The three head in the direction the kids went, but they stop and scream in horror as a Fire Truck comes towards them. They run and hide.

Binx leads the kids to the cemetery.

"Whoa, whoa. This is a graveyard.", Max says suddenly.

"It's hallowed ground. Witches can't set foot here.", Binx explains.

"He talks.", Iris and Max sat together with a shrug.

"Follow me. (They all enter the graveyard.) Over here, I want to show you something. Give you an idea of exactly what we're dealing with.", Binx stops on top of a gravestone that reads 'William Butcherson' Lost Soul.

"William Butcherson? Lost Soul?", Max reads.

"Billy Butcherson was Winifred's lover, but she found him sporting with her sister Mary, so she poisoned him and sewed his mouth shut with a dull needle. So he couldn't tell her secrets, even in death. Winifred always was the jealous type."

"You're Thackary Binx.", Allison realizes.

"Yes."

"So the legends are true."

"Well, come along. I want to show you something else.", Binx leads them somewhere else in the cemetery now.

Two female Firefighters leave the house muttering to themselves.

"Teenagers again. I hate Halloween.", The first one says.

"Man, this is the worst night of the year."

"Wanna give me a hand..."

The sisters are hiding in the bushes.

"Who are they?", Mary asks.

"Girls!", Sarah grins happily.

"Witch hunters! Observe, they wear black robes, and carry axes to chop the wood to burn us."

"Hold me!", Mary cries.

"But Winnie, how? They are women.", Sarah says.

Winifred ignores her, so she starts looking around when she spots a spider.
