MC and Jessy make their way through the supermarket picking out all their favorite snacks for movie night. They fill their shopping cart with popcorn, chips, cookies, candy, and other junk food. Forty-five minutes and $86.35 later they leave the store and head back to Jessy's house. MC arranges all of the snacks on the table in the living room while Jessy pops several bags of popcorn and pours them all into a big bowl. Jessy brings the popcorn into the living room and grabs some blankets and throws them on the couch.

"So what are our movie choices?" MC asks.

"Well, there are just so many to choose from. Let's start with Hereditary. It's about a family that has witch ancestors and they all get possessed and die crazy deaths. Are you sure you're not going to chicken out?" Jessy teases.

"Me? You're the one who acts like the queen of horror but gets terrified over the slightest things."

"That's not the same! Watching it on TV and knowing it's fake is different than being faced with crazies in real life." Jessy says as she plops down on the couch.

"If you say so," MC says. She covers up with a blanket and grabs the bowl of popcorn and puts it on the couch between them.

Halfway through the movie, both girls are hiding their faces from the horror in front of them. MC keeps covering her eyes with her hands every few moments while Jessy occasionally pulls the blanket up over her face. Jessy peeks over the top of the blanks just in time to see the mother's headless corpse leap from the attic window. Jessy squeals and covers her face again causing MC to erupt into a fit of laughter. Jessy gives her a pointed glance before grabbing a pillow and throwing it at her. After just over two hours of the most terrifying movie, either of them had ever watched MC grabs the remote and turns off the TV. Both of them just sit there staring at the now dark TV screen.

"Well, that was..." MC trails off.

"Horrifying." Jessy finishes.

"So it's getting pretty late are you up for another movie?" MC asks.

"Duh! I am the horror queen after all!" Jessy exclaims making MC roll her eyes.

"Alright, I get to pick this time. How about Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"

"Sounds good to me. I heard those movies are based on a true story."

"Umm, yeah, I don't think that is true." MC laughs.

MC turns the TV back on, carefully selects the movie and presses play. The movie starts kind of slow but it isn't too long before Leatherface starts killing innocent people. The movie hadn't been on very long when MC looks over at Jessy and notices a strange expression on her face. She stares at her for a moment when she suddenly looks over and grabs her arm.

"Did you hear that?" Jessy asks in a panic-stricken voice.

"Oh but you're not paranoid at all are you?" MC laughs at her.

"No, I'm serious MC." She pushes the blankets off of herself and stands up. "I'm going to make sure all the doors are locked."

"Whatever you say, horror queen."

After a few minutes, Jessy comes running back into the room. "MC, someone is trying to get in the back door!"

"Ok, that's enough scary movies for you. I think it's time we call it a night." MC says and just as she finishes the words the power suddenly goes out.

"We have to call the police!" Jessy grabs her phone off the table.

"And tell them what Jessy? That we were watching horror movies, the power went out and now you're losing your mind?"

"My phone isn't working. It says no signal." Jessy grabs MC's phone and looks at the screen. "Yours doesn't have a signal either? This is bad."

MC starts to tell her she's being overly dramatic when suddenly a chainsaw starts up just outside the living room window making both girls scream. Jessy motions for MC to be quiet, grabs her hand, and pulls her up the stairs to her bedroom using her cell phone as a flashlight. She walks over to the walk-in closet and starts feeling along the wall. MC cocks her head to the side and watches Jessy in confusion when suddenly Jessy finds what she is looking for and pulls a portion of the wall out to reveal a hidden room. She grabs her and pushes her into the room before walking in herself and placing the portion of the wall back over the entrance.

"Do I even want to know why you have a hidden room in your closet?"

"It's a long story but hopefully if whoever is out there manages to get in they won't be able to find us." She holds her phone up in the air trying once again to get a signal. "Damn it. Did hey do something to the phones?" She says trying hard not to panic.

"I'm sure there is a logical explanation for all of this even the chainsaw. You have neighbors maybe one of them had a good reason to use be using one."

Jessy presses her hand over MCs mouth to get her to stop talking. The noises from the chainsaw are getting louder as if they are inside the house. The chainsaw turns off and footsteps can be heard ascending the stairs. The footsteps get louder and louder until they are just outside the hidden room. Suddenly the door is pulled open and there is a quick flash of light. Sounds of laughter fill the air and it takes a few moments before the girls calm down enough to catch on to what is happening.

"What the hell?!" Jessy yells.

"You should have seen the look on your faces," Richy says and high-fives Dan.

"Oh wait, you can see it because I took a picture," Dan says shaking his phone at them and then laughs some more. Jessy reaches for the phone but Dan pulls it away. "Oh no, you don't."

"How did you turn the power off and what about our cellphones?" Jessy asks.

"Oh, we cut the power off outside where it connects to the house," Richy says.

"For the phones, we used a signal jammer. You'd be surprised what you can find on the internet and they are pretty inexpensive too." Dan adds.

"Honestly, I'm not sure which one of you guys I am disappointed in more," Jessy says before pushing past Richy and storming out the door only for him to follow her.

"Hey boo, welcome to Duskwood." Dan smirks.

MC angrily takes a step toward him. "Listen here, Dan-iel An-der-son" she emphasizes and pokes his chest with each syllable. "This. was. not. funny."

"You're right it wasn't funny." He says with a serious tone, "it was fucking hilarious!" He starts laughing again.

MC storms out and makes her way down the stairs and into the living room with him close behind her.

"You assholes better turn my power back on and get that dirty thing," she points to the chainsaw, "out of here."

"Yeah yeah, we will." Dan rolls his eyes.

"So does this mean we've officially dethroned the Horror Queen?" Richy jokes and nudges Dan.

"Yes! I'm going to be posting that picture all over social media with the caption horror queen: dethroned"

"Ugh, I hate you both." Jessy huffs.
