Els where a man can be heard humming in the dark as a lamp and candle give him light as he held a news paper from the neatherworld in his hands"damn sandworms thirteen presents huh well I better find a job let's see business section"he says before flipping a page that shows the obituaries.

A family picture of Barbra,Adam and there daughter Tracey "ooh la la what do we get here the Maitlands huh? "He says before chuckling as a close up was shown on the picture"look nice and stupid too well except your daughter but I can work my way around her"he says with a chuckle.

The Maitlands were shown in the attic as Barbara was dusting while Adam was working if his model of the who town as Tracy was organizing the attic."I had a better view of the cemetery from here"Adam says as he was looking over the cemetery model of the town as he made little figures for their funeral on the model with there names on reefs as they were buried as a family."I can't tell which is the best placement for us"he says.

Barbara sputters as dust gets into her mouth before ploping down on the couch as dust flys everywhere"cabin fever hun"Adam asked. Tracy sighs knowing this is hard for all of them.

"Well I can't clean anything properly the vacuums out in the garage and we can't leave the house why don't they tell us something where are all the other dead people"her mother says grabbing the book as she looks through the pages as her dad goes to comfort her she hears a car pull up as she gets up walking over to the window "hey mom and dad Jane's here"she says as her parents get up and look through the window Jane and her daughter were dressed in black as they look up at the house.

"God What she doing here"Barbara says stepping away from the window.

"I don't know hey Jane up here Jane!"he calls trying to get her attention but it's like she couldn't see them as they walk back to the car.

"Can't see you right"Barbara says as she was flipping pages in the book.

"Uh uh"Adam says as Tracy leans against the wall while her father went over to Barbara."in the book rule number two the living usually won't see the Dead"she explained to them.

"Cant or won't Barbara ,Tracy I don't think we have very much to worry about anymore "Adam asked as they set there in silence Tracey looks away from the wide she had a bad feeling but doesn't know what about. Janes cR is shown leaving the house as she passed a sold sign attached a picture sign she had sold the house.

Tracy was asleep in her room but the only thing was she was levitating over her bed asleep before a loud rumbling and the shaking of the house wakes her up as she falls to her bed with a scream as she sits up breathing heavily before scrambling out her bed rushing out her before her father and mother join her as they look at there wide open front door.

"Ah this is great this is just with the doctor ordered"a man's voice is heard as something large was rolled in it was some kind of couch as it hits the post of the stairs just as a red headed women comes through as she looks at the place with dread as some movers walked to the couch"sorry mama"one says.

She continues to look at the house with dread before a dirty blond haired man walks over to her with a smile"Delia deetz welcome home"he greets her as he gives her a kiss on her cheek "Charles"she says as they both look at the decor of the house.

He walks over to the stairs "it's okay there's no damage look see it's okay good sturdy country craftsmanship"he says patting it before walking over to her as he wraps an arm around her"and look at that kitchen you're finally going to be able to cook a decent meal"he says making her glance up at him with a glare.

"Come and have a look"he says walking into the kitchen. Delia looks around with dread"a little gasoline blow torch no problem"she says to her self before a chair was brought in as a teenage girl holding a camera was sitting on it. She gets up as she looks around"we're going to have to rip out all that plumbing but other than that it's perfect just perfect "Charles walks over to her as the Maitlands show a worried look with one another.

"What do you think honey"Charles asked his daughter Lydia who looks around before walking over to the stairs seeing a spider web with a spider on it."Delia hates it I could live here"she says.

One of the movers then walked in with some kind of sculpture"careful that's my sculpture and I don't mean my ass and I bought it I mean I made it it's my sculpture"she says but he just looks at her"put it on the table"she says as he does what he's told as it was tossed onto the table as she huffs before fixing it right.

"Must not be very good at sculpting"Tracy says with a deadpanned look as her parents share smiles.

Charles was shown sitting in an old rocking chair as he checks his watch before leaning back with a smile "10 minutes I'm already perfectly at ease"he says.

Just then grunting can be heard as a large man trys to climb in through the window"help!"he shouts as Delia rushes over"its otho"she says just as otho managed to get in while breaking the curtain as it falls down with a rip.

Charles gets up with a huff"also why didn't you just come in the"he asked the man.

Otho managed to get up to his feet"it's bad luck"he says breathing heavily. Delia smiles"oh so you left the city for me I am so happy"she says .

Otho hums"of course you are "he says as he walks forward looking around Charles walks over to Delia"deila let's get one thing straight we are here to enjoy the countryside not trash the place"he says but neither otho and Delia really listened.

"Charles you're lucky the yuppies are buying condos... So you can afford what I'm going to have to do to this place"otho says.

"Otho I'm here to relax and clip coupons and damn it I mean to do it"Charles says as Delia nods her head turning to him"then go to it quietly dear and let otho and I think"she says grabbing his chin then lick his nose.

The Maitlands look devastated "is this punishment or something what are we going to do"Barbara asked.

"We're not completely helpless Barbara,Tracy I've been reading that book and there's a word for people in our situation "Adam says before he smirks look at his daughter and wife"ghost"he says Barbara and Tracy share looks.

Soon otho and Delia were going around then hose spray paint on walls in certain rooms. Each of them took a room her mom and dad took there closet and Adams study room now she was waiting as she hangs from a room attached to the ceiling as blood drips from her eyes and mouth. Soon otho and Delia walks in as they look at the room with disgust.

"Everything will have to go even the drawings"he says before Tracy appears back on the ground before watching wide eyes as the reach her room with paint and ripped down her drawings she worked so hard on as tears build up in her eyes as she runs out her run crying as Adam was trying to calm Barbara down before both see her running down the steps crying"Tracy what's wrong baby!"Barbara calls out a they run after her but there eyes widen in horror as she runs to the kitchen door before she screams as she falls down to the sandy ground below.

Tracy gets up looking around with fear"mom! Dad!"she calls as it echos as she looks around.

"Tracy!"Barbara and Adam call out for there daughter before she turns and sees them before running to them as Barbara holds her closer "oh my sweet baby what happened"she asked as Tracy sniffles "they destroyed my room everything that I held dear and then they tore down by drawings I worked so hard on"she says as Adam hugs them both as they comfort there daughter.

But the soon freeze hearing the earlier roar from the creature Adam saw the day before as they stare at it with fear before they were all running to the door as it got closer as t first the Door wouldn't open but soon it did as they rushed through before closing the door before tye creature could get them as they were breathing hard.

"Wee trapped in this house with these people"Tracy says with a sniffle as they hold one another.
