ASH
Look guys, theres a note in there.
JOHNNY

ASH slowly opens the note and begins to read it.
ASH
You who reads this, shall not see daylight again.
BRENDA
Stop guys, this isnt funny, didnt you hear what the news reporter said?

paper and the candle starts to flicker.

The lights go off and there is a black screen.
