3 School Lockdown Horror Stories Animated (Compilation of April 2022) · Dr. NoSleep Animations

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Talk to nicely.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: The PA system crackled to life on a Thursday during
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: second period in my junior year of high school. The
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: familiar tones of the recorded voice filled my classroom.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Lockdown.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Locks. Lights. Out of sight.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Lockdown.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Locks.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Lights. Out of sight. The words kept repeating as Mrs.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Danbury paused at the board and looked up at the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: speaker in the corner of the room. Okay, you all
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: know what to do, she said. rushing toward the classroom
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: door to shut and lock it. Nervous chatter went up
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: among the students as we rose from our desks and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: moved into position against the wall.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Is this real?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: My friend Colin asked as we sat on the floor
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: with our backs to the wall. Must be, I said.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They'd tell us if it was just a drill. The
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: sound of helicopter rotors was faintly audible over the recorded
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: voice of the lockdown alert, and the noise grew louder
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: as we sat there in the dark classroom After a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: few moments, it sounded like the helicopter was right over
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the school. A full minute passed before the helicopter moved again,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the noise making it sound like it was going in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: circles above the campus. A loud bang, like a door
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: flying open, sounded outside. Someone yelled in the hall, a
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: sound that was quickly replaced by automatic gunfire. I slammed
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: my hands over my ears, along with many other students.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Some of the girls, and even a few of the boys,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: covered their mouths as they cried out softly. More gunfire
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: erupted out in the hallway. It sounded as if there
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: were four or five guns firing. An inhuman screeching sound
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: pierced the air, making my eyes go wide. I looked
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: over at Mrs. Danbury, whose face was drained of all color.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: She was the nearest to the door, the nearest to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell was going on in the hallway. The
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: gunfire stopped. and I heard a man shout and then scream.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: His wail of pain stopped abruptly with a loud, crashing bang.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't have to see it to know that he'd
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: been thrown into the lockers lining the hallway. The metallic
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: bang was enough to tell me that. More gunfire sounded outside,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and then more screaming.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Then there was silence.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: For several seconds, we all listened hard for anything outside.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The recorded voice was still going, and the helicopter was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: still faintly audible. The sound of running footsteps suddenly came
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to us from the hall. The footsteps stopped abruptly, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a terrible scream erupted just before the door to our
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: classroom smashed in. A SWAT officer flew backward into the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: room and slammed into Mrs. Danbury's desk, which slid several
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: feet from the impact. Cries of fear came from the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: students around me as they saw the soldier was missing
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: an arm. He'd hit the desk with his mid-back and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: had come to rest at an angle that told us
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: his spine was broken. Once the soldier came to rest,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: there was only silence from the hall. It went on
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: for long enough that I was starting to think the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: danger had passed.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Mrs.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Danbury apparently thought the same thing, because she crawled toward
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the doorway where the smash door was hanging open. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: don't know what she was trying to do, but as
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: soon as I saw her move toward the doorway, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: wanted to tell her to stop. Still, I made no sound.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: for fear of attracting whatever was outside, if there was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: anything there at all. She peeked her head around the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: doorjamb to peer into the hall. Her left hand came
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: up to her mouth, as if trying to keep herself
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: from getting sick. She stood up and turned around to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: face us. Okay, we need to move to another classroom,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: she said.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The hall looks.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: A long, blistered, red and black arm with a claw-like
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: hand darted down from the ceiling outside the doorway, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: grabbed Mrs. Danbury by the neck, stopping her words. It
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: yanked her out of the classroom before any of us
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: knew what was happening. We heard a scream and a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: thunk from outside.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Then Mrs.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Danbury appeared in the doorway again, only she didn't have
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: any arms. Blood spewed from her massive wounds as she
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: stepped into the room, looking back over her shoulder with
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a dazed look on her face. What she saw there
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: snapped her out of it. and she started running toward
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the wall of windows opposite the doorway. Fountains of blood
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: poured out of her as she ran past her desk, screaming.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: A monstrous, scarred figure that looked like a badly burned
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: mix between a bear and a baboon darted through the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: doorway after our teacher. It leapt, smashing into Mrs. Danbury
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: just as she reached the window. The two of them
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: tumbled out, falling to the ground just a few feet below.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: My teacher screamed once more outside, before her vocalization stopped
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: with a terrible ripping sound. All of us students stayed
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: frozen against the wall, staring at the broken window, waiting
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for the thing to come back in.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We should have run, but we didn't. It was all
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: too much for us.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Eventually, the gruesome sounds from outside stopped, but none of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: us were willing to risk standing up and moving toward
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the window to see what was happening. Not long after
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: those noises stopped, we heard a flurry of gunshots from
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: far off, likely off the high school campus. Hearing those
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: faraway shots snapped me out of shock. I stood up
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and moved slowly to the doorway. I looked out to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: see the hallway littered with dismembered bodies.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: There was blood all over the place.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: A man with a smashed head lay below a huge
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and bloody dent in several of the lockers across the hall.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: A few other guys and I led the rest of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the class out. We headed toward the evacuation spot and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: were about halfway there when we ran into more police
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: coming into the school.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: They took us to safety.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We were told it was an escaped animal from the zoo.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: That's even what they said on the news that night.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They said it was a bear, but I know what
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I saw.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a bear. It wasn't any animal I've ever seen.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And the fact that there's a military research base not
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: far from our school is just too much of a coincidence.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: But those of us who were in that classroom that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: day are smart enough to keep our mouths shut.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But we know the truth. We'll always know the truth.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Story 2. Dead All Day Before the lockdown even started,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I knew something weird was going on. And I wasn't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the only one. It was my.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Senior year, and I had a pretty easy schedule. It
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: was spring, and I could see the end of high
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: school on the horizon. But that day, a Tuesday, my
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: concerns turned from the mundane to the insane. At first,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I shrugged off the strange feelings I had. I thought
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the teachers were just having an off day. Or maybe
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it was me who was having the off day. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: told myself to forget about it until lunch came around.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And I went off campus to get a burger with
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: my buddy Tom. What's up with the teachers today? Tom
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: asked as we sat in the fast food drive-thru. waiting
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to pay and get our food. I turned, surprised at Tom,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: who was usually about as observant as an octogenarian with
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: failing eyesight. You noticed that too?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I asked. Yeah, man. They're acting really strange.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Bemis was just.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Staring at me during first period. His eyes were all
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: wide and blank.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It was creepy as hell.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Then during second period, Miss Delia forgot how to spell
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the word algebra. She just stood there at the board,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: her hand up, with the A and the L written.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I swear, she stood there for a full minute before
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Courtney Miller asked her if she was alright.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It was weird.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe they all got together and smoked a blunt this
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: morning or something. I laughed at that, thinking about the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: teachers hotboxing one of their minivans. But the laughter didn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: last long.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Tom was right. Something funny was going on.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Liu walked super slowly up and down
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the aisles while we were taking a test today, I said.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He never does that. He always sits at his desk
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and reads or something while we take tests. And how
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: slow he was walking? You'd have to try really hard
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to walk that slowly.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Plus, I caught a whiff of him as he walked
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: by one time. He stank.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: He was wearing cologne or something, but I could smell
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: something nasty underneath it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You know what? Tom said.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That made me remember something. You know how Miss Delia
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: is always so prim and proper? She's a neat freak, right?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I nodded.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I had Delia in one of my afternoon classes. Well,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Tom continued, she looked kind of sloppy in class today.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Her hair was frizzy, her makeup a little, I don't know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: sloppy or something. It didn't connect until you said that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: about Mr.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Lou stinking.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Our conversation stopped. as I pulled up to the drive-thru
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: window to complete the transaction. Then I drove to a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: nearby park where we sat on the hood of my
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Camry and ate, enjoying the spring day. We got back
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to school just in time for class and went our
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: separate ways. About 20 minutes into class, the lockdown started.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I was in Mrs.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Santiago's class when the alarm went off.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Mrs.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Santiago smiled as if she'd been expecting it, which made
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: me think it was just a drill. although every other
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: time they'd done a drill, they'd told us beforehand.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: All right, class, Mrs. Santiago said.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: We're doing something a little different today. Half of you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: are going to stay here in the classroom like a
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: normal lockdown drill. The other half will follow me to
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: another location.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It's something new. We're trying to see how it works.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I looked around, furrowing my brow. I didn't see the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: logic in it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Why would half of us leave the classroom to go
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: somewhere else if there was a threat out there? A
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: few other kids in the class seemed to share my concern,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but most of them didn't care.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: They were simply.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Willing to do what the teacher said. I waited for
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: more information from Mrs. Santiago, but she didn't do anything
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: for several minutes. After turning the lights off and locking
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the door, she just stood at the front of the classroom,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: hands clasped behind her back, looking at us with a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: small smile on her lips. Finally, just when I was
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: about to ask her what was going on, she split
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the class in half down the middle, telling those of
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: us on the left side to come with her and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: those on the right to stay in the classroom. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: stood and lined up with the other kids on the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: left while those on the right got against the wall.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: We followed Mrs. Santiago out of the classroom, taking a right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I was three kids behind her, peering around them to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: watch her, thinking about the strange ways teachers had been acting.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: She was in her fifties, with hair that had mostly
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: gone from black to gray, She wore a floral print
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: dress with frilly short sleeves. As we walked down the hall,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I saw a drop of blood crawl down the back
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: of her arm from under the sleeve. It stopped just
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: above her elbow. A bad feeling seeded itself in my
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: stomach as we reached the doors to the gym.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Mrs.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Santiago stepped aside and opened one of them to usher
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: us inside. It was dark inside the gym.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Because all the lights were off.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: As soon as I walked through the door, I stepped
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: aside while the other kids walked past me into the darkness.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I could hear some of them murmuring. They knew something
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: was wrong. One of the students pulled out a phone
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and turned on the flashlight. The illumination revealed other people
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: in the gym. Teachers, just standing there in the dark
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: on either side of the doors, making a wide corridor
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in which the students now stood. There must have been
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a dozen of them. And as the flashlight came on,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: They moved in on the students. Screams bounced around the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: gym as the teachers attacked the students with knives and
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: cleavers from the school kitchen. The sickening sound of metal
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: piercing flesh and blood spilling to the glossy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Gym floor unleashed a deep fear inside me.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Since I'd stepped aside to the wall when I'd entered
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the gym, I was still in the dark. I stumbled
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: back toward the door, watching in abject horror as knives
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: plunged into my fellow students. Clammy cold hands grabbed my shoulders.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I panicked.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Throwing an elbow behind me and connecting with what felt
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: like a nose and mouth. The hands came off of
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: me as I turned around, seeing Mrs. Santiago standing there
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: staring at me, her mouth split open and her nose bleeding.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I shoved past her in the doorway, trying to get
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: away from the gym, but.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: She grabbed my left arm with her right hand.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: At 18, I was much bigger and stronger than her.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I shoved her as hard as I could. Something ripped
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and she fell back against the gym door. but her
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: hand still gripped my left arm above the elbow. I scrambled,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: pulling at her severed arm, ripping it off of me
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and throwing it at her feet. I ran, looking back
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: over my shoulder as Mrs. Santiago stood there, seemingly unaware
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that she'd just had her arm removed, staring at me
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: as I sprinted down the hallway. I ran for the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: nearest exit through the empty hallways, past dark classrooms. The
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: lockdown alarm was still blaring, but I barely noticed it,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The sound of my heart beating seemed louder than any
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: alarm could ever be. I slowed as I passed Tom's classroom,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: clarity coming into my thoughts. I wanted to run out,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but thinking of Tom and my other friends made me
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think of all the students that would be in danger.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: If I just ran away.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I approached Tom's classroom slowly, glancing through the slender window
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: into the dark room. I thought I had seen Tom's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: fifth period teacher, Mr. Pelham, in the gym.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So when I didn't see anyone in the classroom, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: banged on the door.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Tom!
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I whispered loudly at the door between bangs. Tom, it's me, Nate.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I said. Tom appeared out of the darkness. Nate? He
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: said through the closed door. What are you doing?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It's lockdown, man.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Where's your teacher? I said. I don't know. He left
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like five minutes ago. Told us to stay put. Open
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the door. We've got to go.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I said.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The teachers, they're killing people.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Tom said, smiling. Tom messed with me, man. This is serious.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I stepped back from the door and glanced both ways
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: down the hall.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anyone. I am serious, I said. Everyone
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: needs to leave. Come on!
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Tom reached for the door handle, but a voice from
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: inside the classroom stopped him. I couldn't hear exactly what
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: they said, but Tom's response.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Gave me a clue.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I know we're not supposed to open the door, Tom said,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: but this is Nate.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: He's no school shooter.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Tom opened the door and let me inside. I closed
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: it behind me and looked into the darkness at the
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: students sitting against the wall. We need to go, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: told them. Now, something is seriously wrong. We're supposed to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: stay here, one girl whose name I didn't know said.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: That's what the drills are all about, remember? I'm telling you,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I said. The drills didn't have this in mind.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: It's the teachers.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I watched them kill some of my classmates. There's something
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: wrong with them. Haven't you noticed anything strange today? I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: could see in their eyes that many of the students
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: had noticed, but none of them moved.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: All right, fine, I said.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'll go get help. Tom, you gonna stay here or
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: come with me? I'm with you, man, Tom said, looking scared. Okay,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I said to him. Then I turned to the other students.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Someone call 911 if you haven't already. We have, someone said.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: They have police on the way.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Lock the door behind us, Tom said to the nearest
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: student as we turned to the door. It was tempting
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to hunker down and wait for the cops to show up,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: but seeing what I'd seen, there was no way I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: could do it. The teachers had keys to the classrooms,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: after all.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: We'd be sitting ducks.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I checked the hall before stepping out. Tom followed, shutting
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the door softly behind us. We booked it to the
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: nearest exit and pushed on the metal bars to open
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the doors. They came open a few inches and stopped,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the telltale rattle.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Of chains coming from the outside.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: They locked the doors, I said in a harsh whisper.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: What the hell is going on here? Tom said. I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: looked around.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Let's try the faculty area, I said, noticing that we
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: were near the admin offices.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe they left one of those unlocked. Tom nodded.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: We moved cautiously through the halls toward admin, listening hard
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and keeping our eyes peeled. We ducked through the doors
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: denoting the faculty area and saw a flickering orange light
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: coming from the teacher's lounge. The door was closed, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like most of the doors in the school, it had
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a thin rectangular window off center through which the flickering
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: light shone. I crept up to the door with Tom
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: behind me. Taking a deep breath, I looked through the window.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I saw a figure in the middle of the room
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: staring right at me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I pulled my head back down.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: What?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Tom said. There's someone in there, I said, then stopped.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: The image of the figure in the room took a
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: moment to solidify in my mind. I stuck my head
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: up again and looked through the window. The vice principal,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a man named Ben Sheridan, was floating in the middle
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: of the room, his legs and arms outstretched to make
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: an X with his body. He was naked, and there
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: was a short wooden spear jammed through his chest. The
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: orange light was coming out of his eyes, nostrils, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: wide open mouth, flickering as if from an inner fire.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: There were also red glowing words and symbols written on
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the floors and walls of the lounge, pulsating in time
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: with the brighter light coming out of Sheridan's face.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: He floated just.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Above a glowing circle on the floor, the edges of
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: which were surrounded by strange symbols and words. I couldn't
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: read any of the words because they were in another language,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: but the symbols looked like they'd been taken right out
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: of a horror movie. How is this happening? Tom said,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and I realized he was standing behind me. looking over
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: my head through the window. He sounded on the verge
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: of tears. This isn't supposed to happen, he continued. This
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: isn't possible.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: We need to get out of here, I said.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Now. We moved past the vice principal's office and the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: principal's office, and past the admin office to the doors
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: used by the faculty. I pushed on one of the doors,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: my hope disappearing as it, too, only opened partially before
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: it was stopped by exterior chains. The principal's office, I said.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe the windows open, or we can break one. Tom nodded,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: following along, wringing his hands. As soon as we got
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: into the office, I could tell that the windows weren't
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: designed to open. I started looking around for something heavy
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I could use to break one of the windows. I
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: located a heavy teaching award on the desk and picked
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it up. It was the shape of an apple attached
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: to a wooden base. It weighed maybe 10 pounds. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: glanced down at the desk plotter noticing that it was
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: a calendar. I looked at yesterday's date, reading a note there.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Faculty meeting, 5.30 p.m. Something fell together in my mind.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I was about to tell Tom about it when he spoke.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Someone's coming!
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: He said in a harsh whisper. We ducked behind the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: principal's desk as a figure moved through the hall outside
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the office. I heard the door to the office open
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and I clutched the award in my sweaty hands, mentally
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: preparing myself to use it.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Nate Oshman? A woman's voice said. Is that you? I
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: stood up quickly. holding the heavy award over my head.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: It was Christina Henry, a pretty 20-something art teacher I'd
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: had my junior year. We need to get out of here,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: she said, holding up her hands. I don't know what's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: happening with the other teachers, but they're killing students.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no shit, I said.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Tom stood up, eyeing Christina nervously. She looked normal, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: she sounded genuinely scared, but I wasn't about to let
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: her near me. Were you at the meeting yesterday?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I asked her.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Taking a shot in the dark. She looked at me
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: with open curiosity.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: The meeting? What are you talking about? Why is that important?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Because I'm guessing that's the last time all the teachers
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: were together in one room, I said. Whatever happened to them,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: someone did it on purpose. You walked past the teacher's lounge.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: You must have seen it. I was sick yesterday, Christina said,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: apparently seeing the logic in my thinking.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I missed it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Now, can we please get out of here? Whoever chained
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: up the doors had to be able to get back
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: in here somehow. I have a key to all the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: exterior doors. We can find the one and get out
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: of here. I glanced at Tom, who looked at me
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: with wide eyes, which he shifted down toward the desk.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: He was trying to tell me something. Let me think,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I said to Christina, then looked down at the desk.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Tom leaned down and put his hand on top of
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a clipboard on the desk. I glanced at it, seeing
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: it was a list of names.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Teacher's names.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: At the top of the sheet, it read, Faculty Attendance.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: And right next to Tom's index finger was the name
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Christina Henry. Next to her name, a checkmark. I looked
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: back up to see that she had a gun.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: In her hand.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I like you guys,' she said, dropping the scared tone.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I really would have let you go.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: You' re both respectful students.' You' re not disruptive.' I really wish
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: you would have believed me.' She raised the gun. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: threw the heavy award at her, ducking as I did so.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: She fired the gun, but missed as she dodged out
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: of the way of the teacher's award. Tom dove over
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the desk and tackled Christina, slamming her against the wall.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: They both fell in a tangle on the ground. Tom
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: scrambled on top of her. She brought the gun up,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: but Tom caught her wrist with his left hand. With
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: his right, he reached out and grabbed the award, then
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: slammed it down on her face once.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That was all it took.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Seeing what he'd done, he clambered off of her as
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: if she were hot to the touch. I stepped over
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to her and felt her pockets for the keys she
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: spoke of. I found them and darted out of the office.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Where are you going? Tom cried.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: We need to stop this, I said over my shoulder.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I froze when we got into the hall. I could
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: see through the doors to the faculty area that the
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: hall was filled with teachers. They all had sharp implements
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: in their hands and they were all coated in blood.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: They stared at me blankly as they hurried down the hall.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I ran toward them, stopping at the teacher's lounge. The
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: doors to the faculty area were about 15 yards to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: my right. The teachers were five yards beyond that. I
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: tried the knob to the teacher's lounge door, unsurprised to
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: find it locked. Trying to calm my shaking hands, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: fiddled with the keys, trying two of them before the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: doors opened to my right. I had time for three
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: more out of the dozen on the key ring. To
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: my left, Tom came out of the principal's office. Oh,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: s * * *, man, he said, looking at the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: dead-eyed teachers bearing down on me.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Run, Nate, he cried.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I slid a key into the knob and turned it,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: amazed to find that it actually worked.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I'd found the key.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I stepped into the room and picked up a chair
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: from the wall, just as the teachers crowded the doorway
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: behind me. I stood outside the glowing circle on the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: ground and used the chair to shove the floating vice principal.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I had to put all my strength into it, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: it worked. As soon as he reached the opposite edge
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: of the circle, he fell to the ground. Immediately, the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: glowing lights in his face disappeared, leaving only scorched black holes.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: The foreign words and symbols all over the floor, walls,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and ceiling stopped glowing too. Behind me, I heard bodies
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: falling to the floor. I turned around to see that
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: all the teachers crowding the.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Hallway were now sprawled out. I knew instinctively that they
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: weren't unconscious. They were dead.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: They'd been dead all day. At least now, they weren't
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: trying to kill us. Behind us, outside the school, the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: sound of approaching sirens was like music to my ears.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: History class is underway, and there's nothing more boring. I
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: slide down in my seat and adjust my hooded sweatshirt.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Mrs.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Blaylock used to give me shit about my hood. but
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I eventually wore her down. It's not the hood that
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned with, though. It's the headphones in my ears
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: under the hood. There are a few classes where I
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: can get away with listening to music while the teacher
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: drones on. It takes persistence to make it so the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: teachers don't even try, but I'm stubborn, and I like
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to get my way.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I zone out while Mrs.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Blaylock goes over World War II. Class is about halfway
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: over when all the students suddenly perk up and look
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: toward the PA speaker in the corner of the room.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I reach up and take one of my headphones out,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: hearing the familiar instructions of another lockdown drill. It's about
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: time for one, I think. We do one every month.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I slip the headphone back into my ear. I don't
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: need to hear the instructions. I already know what we're
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: supposed to do. I lean forward and get ready to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: head to the other side of the room with the
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: rest of the students. A fast-paced punk rock song plays
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: in my ears. Everyone stays seated for another minute or so,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and I assume there must be some other announcements or
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: instructions for this drill. I debate taking my headphones out
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: to hear them, but it's probably too late now anyway.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'll just follow the lead of the other students. Mrs.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Blaylock is standing in the front of the room, looking
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: like she's asleep with her eyes open.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I know the feeling.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: The students all stand up at the same time, a
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: synchronized movement that gives me chills. I stand up too,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: shrugging it off as a coincidence. I take a couple
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: of steps forward to head to the wall, but none
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: of the other students are moving. I look over at Jared,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: who is the only kid in class I can really stand,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: and see that he's standing up, just staring ahead.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: What the hell is going on?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I think for a second that everyone in class is
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: playing a prank on me, but that would involve a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: level of preparedness that is unthinkable.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: For high school students. especially the ones at my school.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: The song I'm listening to ends, and there's a moment
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of silence before the next one begins. A strange, repetitive
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: sound comes dully through my headphones, and I feel my
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: mind slipping away like I'm about to fall asleep. But
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it's not pleasant, like drifting off after a long day.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: It's downright scary, like my consciousness is being ripped away
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: from me. The next song starts, and I snap out
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: of it, coming back to my body, What in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: actual f * * *? I look up at the PA.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: There's nowhere else that sound could come from. I pull
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: out my phone and open Spotify. I go into advanced
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: settings and select the crossfade songs option so there won't
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: be any silence between songs. I put my phone back
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: in my pocket and turn my head. The girl that
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: sits behind Jared, her name's Amy, is sucking on Jared's neck.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It only takes me a moment to realize she's not
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: really sucking on his neck.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: She's biting it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: She pulls away with a mouthful of flesh and blood
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: sprays out of Jared's neck, coating Amy's face as she
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: chews contentedly. Jared doesn't seem to notice. He steps forward
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: to Hector, the student ahead of him. Jared raises Hector's arm,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: then takes a big bite out of it. Hands come
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: at me from both sides, and I turn to see
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: dead-eyed students grabbing at me, their mouths watering.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I shove them back and rush to the front of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the room.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I head straight for the door, looking over my shoulder
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to see that all the students in the classroom are
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: now eating each other. Bloody mouths chew, wounds spill blood,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and glazed eyes stare at nothing. Mrs. Blaylock steps toward
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: me with that same blank yet hungry look on her face.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I turn, running into the hall, and slam right into
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the gym teacher, Mr. Hardiman.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: He grabs me by the shoulders and ducks his head
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: forward to take a bite out of me. I snap
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: my head forward, headbutting him in the nose. We stumble
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: away from each other. I grip my forehead, wondering how
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: people do that in the movies without getting hurt.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I've got a serious headache, but it pales in comparison
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to the threat of being eaten by Mr. Hardiman.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: He reaches toward me again, but I duck him and
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: run down the hall. Punk rock plays in my headphones,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: and I suddenly feel like I'm in a movie with
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: a kick-ass soundtrack. But a glance into a classroom I'm
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: passing reminds me that this is no movie. This is
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: really happening. Everyone has turned to zombies and they're eating
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: each other. I keep running, heading to the front office.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I slide to a stop outside the office.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Door, looking through the window. I don't see anyone in
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the office area.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly where the PA system is located,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: but I assume it must be somewhere beyond that office
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: door in the faculty area. I push through the door
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and come to the reception desk that's usually manned by Ms. Kelly,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: the administrative assistant. I rush around the desk and trip
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: over someone, or two someones. I realize as I look
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: behind me where I am on the floor. Miss Kelly,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: once busy eating Principal Daly, now sets her sights on me.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: She grabs my left leg while Principal Daly, who was
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: so badly eaten I thought he was dead.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Sits up from the floor and reaches out for me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I yell and kick and scramble away, ducking into the
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: first office I see. As soon as I stand up
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: in the office, I'm knocked down again as someone in
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: dark clothing runs into me. We both fall to the floor,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm ready to fend off a hungry mouth, but
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the figure clambers up and runs out the door, I
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: look around the office and see the PA system built
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: into the wall next to the desk. The microphone is
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: bent down to a small digital recording device on the desk.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I see that someone has taped the transmit button down.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I rip the tape off and hit stop on the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: digital recorder. I pull out my phone and turn down
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the volume a little, ready to turn it back up
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: if I hear that weird noise again.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: So I turn my music down some more, and then
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I turn it off. I hear a high-pitched sound start up,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: which sends my heart skipping and almost has me pushing
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: play on my phone again.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: But I recognize the noise.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: It's the sound of hundreds of people screaming. I step
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: out to the office door and see Miss Kelly and
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Principal Daly looking at their wounds, screaming. Principal Daly passes
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: out as I stand there, unsure what to do. Miss
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Kelly looks up at me, tears streaming down her blood-smeared cheeks.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: She screams. Help me!
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: All across the school, students and teachers are pouring out
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: of the classrooms, bloody and missing pieces, screaming in confusion.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I can hear them.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I step back into the office where the PA is
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and shut the door for.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: A little quiet.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I call 911 and tell them there's been a terrible
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: incident during a lockdown drill. I tell them to send
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: all the medical personnel they can. The lady asks me
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: how many people are injured.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: All of them, I say.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Once the call is done, I lean over, depress the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: transmit button on the PA, and tell everyone that help
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: is on the way. I can still hear the screaming.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I look down at my phone again, debating, making a decision.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I turn my music back on, crank the volume, and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: go looking for a first aid kit, thankful that I
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: can no longer hear the screaming. I don't know who
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: it was that set this whole thing up. I don't
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: know how it's even possible. But I do know one thing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I'm never going anywhere without my headphones ever again.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks for watching.
