ELEVEN YEARS LATER
In a Chicago suburban town called Haddonfield the monstrous entity has targeted yet another group, the McKinney family. He creeps from city to city, town, to town, since he cannot be destroyed, only delayed temporarily from completing his objective. Relentless in his quest to devour innocent souls, the demon launches his attack upon the weakest member of the McKinney family, Tonya. Tonya is a lovely brown haired, blue eyed, four foot, thin eight-year-old girl, quite pretty and she is screaming hysterically.
Standing between the bedroom and the hallway of the house, as is his usual custom, the dark angel menaces the already frightened girl with horrible facial expressions and threats of torture and death. He has enabled only Tonya to see him, which would make all of her claims about his existence to her parents seem like the product of imagination. The fact that the McKinney family doesn't go to church, but put their faith in science leaves them helpless to ward off this creature. A creature that is as old as tune itself, one which knows what man is afraid of, who knows man more than man know himself, for he was here before man.
Tonya's parents are at their wit's end, trying to figure out why their daughter is screaming. "Mommy, daddy, he's going to get me. The monster over there, he's going to kill me. Please mommy, daddy help me. He's coming closer, "cried Tonya, on the verge of collapsing. Her father, Thomas reaches opt and grabs Tonya in time before she toppled over, her eyes wide and her screams continuing. "What is it baby? Why are you so upset honey?" asked Thomas, holding his daughter in his arms, her mother standing by with both hands covering her mouth and looking over in the direction where Tonya is staring, seeing nothing but empty space. "Daddy, daddy... he's standing over there. Why can't you see him? He said he's going to kill me and that no one can do anything to stop him. You can stop him, can't you daddy?" Tonya asked, looking up at her father with the kind of assurance and confidence that a child has in their idol. "Honey, 1 can't stop what I can't see. Are you sure you didn't just have a bad dream?" he asked, hoping that were the case, so he could once again resume his role as a super dad, at least, in his daughter's eyes.
The morning air is scented with the fragrance of leaves on an entire avenue of trees that run in a line in this lovely suburban town. The sound of birds singing their beautiful songs along with other familiar noises found in nature. These all add a kind of splendor to the blue sky, a great backdrop.
Two squirrels are seen chasing each other, competing for the right to keep an acorn, which had fallen off one of the trees.
Tonya is filled with complete and utter exasperation, having no success in convincing her parents that the fear she is facing is a real one, one that is just waiting for the chance to attack her and attack her he will. "I don't know why you can't see him, he's right over there. Mommy, daddy I'm afraid," she sobs. "There's nothing to be afraid of sweetheart. It was just a bad dream, you'll see," said her father, trying to convince Tonya and himself as well. "But dreams happen when you are asleep, don't they? Well, I'm wide-awake and the monster is standing there in the hall. Don't let him get me, please aaaiiieeeeeeeeee!" she screams, being in terror by the beast that is only visible to her. "Baby there's nothing there," advises her mother, who is shaken by the state that their daughter is in, not knowing how to dispel her fears. "But he is there mommy and he's talking to me now," said Tonya. "What is he saying? Will you just listen at me, talking as though something real is there? Baby it's not real. Stop now or you're going to make yourself sick." "Mommy please believe me when I say he's real. He is right over there," said Tonya, pointing in the direction of the cloven tongued, double horned, two hoofed feet, frightening demon. "Okay, okay Tonya, I'll prove he's not real," said her father, reassuringly. "How daddy? How can you prove that he's not real, when he's standing right there just waiting to get me? He has arranged it somehow so that only I can see him and he's going to get me mommy and daddy, he's going to get me," said Tonya, still weeping pitifully, more upset that her parents do not believe what she's seeing and experiencing is very real. The devil, no longer able to contain the awesome rage that has built up to a feverish pitch says angrily; "Didn't I tell you not to make me known? Do you remember what I said I would do to you, if you told anyone about me?" said the beast; closing in on Tonya, inch by terrible inch. Tonya's mother and father stand frozen in shock, petrified by fear, and rendered immobile by ambivalence, having heard for the first time the voice of the awful demon. "What? who are you and why are you frightening our daughter Tonya? What has she done to you that you have picked on her? Why don't you show yourself now? What, are you scared to pick on somebody your own size?" said Thomas, his voice showing genuine anger at the idea his daughter was being scared out of her wits. The devil replied; "All in good time, you sagging piece of human flesh. All in good time. Right now, I'm content with scaring your daughter Tonya. She has every reason to be scared, for I'm going to devour her flesh as you would devour a spare rib. Yeah, I bet she'll taste just like chicken. I'm going to eat her alive. I just wanted you to know that and it's nothing you can do about it either," said the demon, grinning. "But she's only a little girl, a baby. She hasn't even started life yet. She doesn't know anything about junior high or boy friends, not even getting her hair permed. Why don't you get a hardened criminal or someone with nothing to live for? Our daughter Tonya has everything to live for," Mary said, sobbing so hard she begins to shake. "Save your tears woman, they're wasted. I care nothing about you, your husband or your daughter. Tonya is my primary target right now. Whomever I have chosen for destruction must die, unless I am stopped somehow," said the hideous demon, as the parents of Tonya stood by watching in horror as the body of their daughter is torn apart, limb from limb and piece by piece is engulfed. Watching helplessly, Mary and Thomas who are unable to see the invisible evil entity, instead witness the awful spectacle before them as visible pieces of what was once their little girl is being consumed by the beast. What makes this scene so horrific is seeing how each part of Tony's visible body is rendered invisible, which is evidently now inside the body of this creature from the nether world. It is a land of eternal darkness, where evil and sinister acts get played out.
"Nooooooooo! She's not gone. She's not gone Thomas. Our girl is not dead. That thing didn't just kill our little girl. Tonya.. Tonya.. Come back baby, please baby come back," sobbed Mary, squeezing her husband's arm as he held his wife ever so close to his heart and shedding tears at what they both witnessed before their eyes.
