[Miss Tessburger drives the car the four are in]

Solomon: It’s a tough job, to be mayor of this town. To stand sentinel at the gates of hell. With the office comes knowledge of certain…uncomfortable truths.

Alexander: What are you talking about?

Solomon: The Church of The Starry Children. That’s what they called themselves, the Waylons and their little social club. It’s true, all of it. The stories, the rituals, the cult.

Samuel: Told ya!

Solomon: But it wasn’t the delusion of madness, they did have power. For a hundred and fifty years, the Waylons ruled this town. And it took an army of axe wielding maniacs to lay them low and even then they lived on in a way. But nothing that ever dies in Waylon Hall ever truly dies. The Church saw to that. It was a spell  they cast on the house to ensure their survival beyond the grave. A spell you three idiots unwillingly triggered and now someone else is back, and he is making good on his promise..

Alexander: Nerdy Prudes Must Die?

Eliza: Okay, are you saying...King George Jägerman is a fucking ghost?

Solomon: Ghost, demon, call it what you want. He can go where he pleases, do as he pleases. You can’t hurt him. You can’t touch him, but he can touch you. You’ve created a literal monster, Elizabeth..

Alexander: This is crazy, and it’s not scientifically possible

Solomon: Tell that to George when you see him. Maybe he’ll just fly away.  

Miss Tessburger: We’re here, sir.

Solomon: Thank you, Miss Tessburger. Well, out

[The three exit the car]

Eliza: What are we doing in the woods?

Solomon: I’m not doing anything. You three are going to dig. There. The Waylons had a weapon, the source of their power. When they were killed, it was lost, I don’t know how many hands it went through, but 15 years ago, it came to me.

[They dig and tale out the book]

Alexander: A book?

Solomon: The Black Book. The abominable tome. Spells, incantations, the keys to unlimited power. But it all has a price. A terrible price. And you three are going to pay it because this isn’t just about your worthless little lives. Once you are dead, George won’t stop with you. He’ll kill all of the nerds everywhere and he won’t stop at killing, because that’s all he is now.  

Eliza: Okay. Assuming this is just one big mind fuck, how do we stop him? With a spell? From your spell book?

Solomon: No spell can unmake what he’s become. You’re going to perform a ritual to summon the things beyond the book. Those that give The Book it’s power. The dark gods the Waylons worshipped

Samuel: Who-d-do you mean Satan?

Solomon: Oh no. They’re much worse. To survive this night, you’ll have to strike a bargain with The Lords in Black.  

K. Ģêøřğə: It’s like I always said! You gotta come to the woods to do some nerd watching! Ke-yuh! Ke-yuh! K-fuck!  
Samuel: Who was that?

Solomon: Who do you think?

Eliza: George?

K. Ģêøřğə: Surprise Eliza. I got one hell of a party planned for ya, the last one you threw me was such a killer, I thought I’d return the favour, bitch!  

Alexander: George! W-What happened that night, it was an accident! You know it was an accident!  

Solomon: Stop trying to reason with it, I gave you The Book. Perform the ritual.  

Eliza: We don’t know how! You do it!

Solomon: No! I’m never touching that book ever again! You started it, Elizabeth, you finish it!

K. Ģêøřğə: These woods always were a bitchin’ make out spot. In fact, I just put the moves on this total smoke show! She gave me head in her car! Check it out!

[He throws the head of Miss Tessburger in front of the four]

Alexander, Eliza and Samuel: AHHH!

[The three run away, Solomon picks up the head]
