Lance explains the house's dark history

Officer Lance recounts the property's dark history: the Kysers ran a church and school on the grounds, and rumors of Satanic rituals and human sacrifice swirl around the place. He explains why the land became a target for developers and warns them to stay alert. He offers his contact information and adds a flirtatious note toward Nancy.

First ominous sign: twig pentagram

On the grounds the team uncovers a twig pentagram, which Lance dismisses as a childish prank but still signals trouble. The find raises tensions as the group debates whether to push forward or retreat into their cars. The uneasy mood intensifies as the night deepens.

Chad's psychic vision

Bank employee found dead

Hamlet the dog is killed by a feral child

Van catches fire and the group is stranded

As Floyd’s LSD confession spreads, the group’s van bursts into flames and is left burning on the property. With their transportation ruined, they become more vulnerable and paranoid. The disaster escalates the night into a fight for survival.

Gwen and Nancy reach Lance and push back into the house to search for him. They uncover a lair filled with children's toys, hinting at the killers’ true nature.
