My dad works in B2B marketing. He came by my school for career day and said he was a big ROAS man. Then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend.

And I'm here today with a very special episode of Mayfair Watcher Society.
It probably comes as no surprise that I'm a big Stephen King fan, which is why I'm so excited for the upcoming movie, The Boogeyman. For this episode, we partnered up with 20th Century Studios to bring Stephen King's Boogeyman into the world of Mayfair. The Boogeyman hits theaters on June 2nd, but you can buy your tickets today.
The film stars Yellowjacket's Sophia Thatcher, alongside Vivian Lyra Blair, Chris Mancina, and David Dastmalchian. I promise, this is a movie you don't want to miss. And now, this week's episode. We are The Watches.
Observers of the strange, paranormal, occult, unwelcome, spiritual, horrifying, mystical, secret, transcendent, repulsive, captivating, unwelcome, appalling, gruesome, unseen, magic, weird, revolting, intrusive, horrifying, unseen.
Welcome to the Mayfair Watchers Society. You really think it's gonna do it, Jack? It's already been half an hour. I just- Kelsey, what if we miss it or something? Laura, shut- It's not like it matters if we talk about it. It'll still do it if it's gonna do it. It's gonna do it. It's gonna do it for sure.
I'm just saying maybe it knows about the night vision thingy and it doesn't like being looked at. Oh my god. You two are such babies. I'm not. You're just a freak. Did it work? I'm not a freak. You're just a baby. We've done this like
Ten times already. Why are you still scared? Okay, but did it work? Huh? Kelsey was asking if the app worked. Yeah. Did the night vision work? Can you see it? You want me to stop recording and find out? Yeah. What if something happens when you do? Like what? Like,
Something. She means like Grandpa Ingram coming shambling out of the closet and dropping his guts all over the floor. Jack, don't. Why not? You know why not. It's just a movie. You want her to puke on the bed?
Because she will. Not gonna puke. She's not gonna puke. She puked in the theater. You said we weren't gonna talk about that anymore. Yeah, sorry. Anyway, you're still a freak. What did I do? She was the one who was gonna hurl. I'm not. You're the one who was talking about your dead grandpa's guts falling all over the floor. Sorry, Lo. He's my grandpa. Yeah, exactly.
That's why it's weird. What do you mean? He's dead. He could be a zombie. What? Do you still think it's him in there? Nah. He's worm food by now. You shouldn't say stuff like that. Why not? He's my grandpa. But still... Okay, okay. So if it's not him, what is it? I don't know. I'm gonna stop the video. I wanna see if we got any... Good morning.
Did you have to? Of course. Why am I friends with you? Uh, cause nobody else will hang out with a baby like you. One of these days, if you're gonna do that, I'm gonna split my head open and I'm gonna die. You kids doing okay down there? I thought I heard a scream. Yes, Mr. O- We're fine, Dad!
Alright, if you say so. Hey, you kids gonna come up for breakfast? I'll be right there! Careful! You're gonna fall over if you run like that. Come on, really? What? Are you taking a video right now?
Yeah? Why? It's daytime. There's not even anything happening. Yeah, there is. What if you really did fall out of bed and I don't want to go to jail? Uh, then you shouldn't take a video? That's called evidence, stupid. Uh, except I didn't push you, so I didn't do anything wrong. You still scared me, and that's why I fell.
You'd definitely go to jail for that. That's not how jail works, stupid. Are you kids coming up? We're gonna eat all that bacon without you. Just a second, Dad! You're gonna go to jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavavava
Sorry, who's going to jail? Jack's going to jail. Dad, I'm not. Okay. Why is Jack not going to jail? For killing me. I didn't kill you. You fell. Okay. No one is killing anyone in my house, and no one is going to jail. Come get breakfast, kids. And that means you too, Morris.
Oh, am I one of the kids? Hmm. Sometimes I wonder. Jack, put that away. The tablet. Put it away. We've talked about this. Hey, that's right. No tech at the table, remember? Yeah, fine, whatever. During the day, this house is just like any other house in Mayfair. But at nighttime, it becomes a nightmare. Nightmare.
A nightmare house full of the scariest nightmares you can imagine. Join us as we, um... Join us as we show you the... Show you the true nightmare... Ah, no, that's not right. Jack! Come down here, please! Yes, Mom! What? Don't you what me! Look at this! Ew. Ew? Ew?
Is that all you have to say? Jack, what am I looking at? I don't know. Mold? So you think so too, huh? Mold. Mold. All in the corners, all across the ceiling. God, what have you and your friends been doing down here? What do you mean? We haven't been doing anything. This doesn't look like nothing to me, Jack. There's mold in your grandfather's closet.
It wasn't us. We didn't put the mold there. That's dumb. It just showed up there on its own. Mold doesn't just show up on its own, Jack. Not in a house that's never had a mold problem before. Well, it did. It just started growing in there. We didn't do anything. You knew about this? No. You did. You knew about this and you didn't say anything.
Jack. I didn't do anything. It's not my fault. Why didn't you say something when you first saw it? Look at this. Look at it. You think this couldn't make you sick? What if it made your friends sick? God, Jack, why didn't you tell me? It didn't. We aren't. We're not sick, Mom. It's just some stuff. It doesn't matter. Just because you don't feel sick now doesn't mean it couldn't be making you sick.
God, you always do this. We've had this conversation so many times, and you never listen. Deal. And what about your grandfather's clothes, huh? You're the one who said you wanted to keep them, and now you're just, what, letting them rot? Why do you even care about that? You didn't even like him. You're grounded. What? You're grounded. I've had enough of this. Go to your room. You're in my room? No, I'm in your grandfather's room.
Go to your room. Dad said I could sleep in here as long as I wanted. Well, I'm not dad. Go to your room, Jack. This isn't fair. Go to your room. Mom, there's something in the closet. What? Something's living in the closet. I can show you. I can... That's enough. I don't want to hear any of your stories right now, Jack. It's not a story. Go to your room. I'm not going to ask again. Just let me show you. I can...
Okay, I got the screen recording working. Say it again. I saw the thing in Jack's grandpa's closet. It's real. I saw it too. It's real, Mrs. Ower. Except we didn't actually see it. Lo, come on. What? We didn't. It was just, like, eyes.
Even with the night vision app. And a hand! I don't think it was a hand. What else could it have been? I don't know, uh... She's right, it was too hard to see. I need to make the video brighter next time. I thought it looked pretty good. You said you showed your mom, right? I tried to. She just got mad again. Why?
Do moms need a reason to be mad? She's always mad about something. I don't know. I think your mom seems pretty nice. Shh. I think we should be patient with him. Try to understand where he's coming from. I've been patient, Morris. I've tried to understand where he's coming from. Hell, who could understand better? He was my dad. I tried. I tried. And for what?
So my own kid could look at me and ask me why I should care about Dad's closet filling up with some sort of veiny black mold? Why should I care that he knew and just didn't think it was important to tell me? He's a kid. You know he wasn't trying to hurt you. You know he didn't mean it like that. Didn't he? You didn't see the way he looked at me when he said it.
He's hurting, Tilda. You know how close he was to Carl. Morris, he was my dad! I know, honey. I know. I know. Jack knew Dad for less than a year. I grew up with that man. God, you know, this is just so typical. It wasn't enough to screw up our relationship with Mom's family. He had to come in and screw up my relationship with my own son, too. Tilly...
Shh. Shh. Ugh, I can't hear him anymore. Yeah. I don't know. Stuff. Dad's trying to get Mom to stop acting like such a...
A bee. You shouldn't call her that. I didn't even use the word. You still meant it. Well, I wouldn't mean it if she wasn't being one. Laura, Kelsey, your cameras are frozen. Guys? The internet's out again! Hey, yeah, I know. No need to shout. Can you come down here for a sec, Jack? Okay? What? Morris? Jack?
Your mother and I think it's time you spent some time off the tablet. Now, I understand that you like talking to your friends, but... I changed the Wi-Fi password, Jack. Huh? We talked about it, and we decided that there's no point in grounding you if nothing changes about your behavior. So, we're making a change. It's just gonna be for this weekend, Jack. It's not a big deal. No. Maybe it'll just be for this weekend. Or maybe it'll be longer. Okay.
We're not doing this anymore, Jack. No more ignoring me when I'm talking to you. No more making up stories whenever you get in trouble. No more thinking that you can just say whatever you want, whenever you want, without consequences. There have to be consequences. And these are your consequences, Jack. No more. But I didn't do anything. This isn't fair. That's enough.
But I didn't do anything. I didn't even do anything. It's not fair. You only think it's unfair because you never think you've done anything wrong. Hey, hey, let's all just take a step back, okay? Let's just take a second to calm down and breathe. Jack, I think maybe you should go back to your room for now. Okay, buddy? I didn't even do anything, Dad. I didn't...
I bet she didn't even tell you about the thing. I bet you didn't. What thing? Ugh. He's talking about the monster in Dad's room. There's a thing in the closet! There's a thing in the closet, and that's why it's all monster! It wasn't me! It wasn't me! I can show you! Laura and Kelsey and me got a video, and I can... Dad? Jack, I think maybe this time we'll listen to your mother, okay? I didn't do anything...
Go to your room, Jack. Please. I didn't do anything. It's not fair. I didn't even do anything. I'm sorry, Morris. I get... I just... I get so frustrated sometimes. I don't even know what to do. I think that's called parenthood, Tilly. I think it comes with the package. We all get pissed off at our kids sometimes. You don't? Sure I do. You just...
You usually get pissed off first, so I feel like I've got to be the good cop, you know? Oh my god. You want to switch sometimes? I didn't do anything bad, Mom. I didn't do anything. And I'm going to show you. And then you're going to have to say you're sorry. It's not that dark. Don't be a baby. Mom? Dad? Hello? It's just like before. It's not different. It's just like before.
Just 'cause I'm alone doesn't mean it's different. They're the babies, not me. They're the babies. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. Come on. I know you're in there. Come on out. Come on! You gotta show up or she's not gonna believe me. Are you so scared, Jack? And you called me a baby. Kelsey? There's nothing to be scared of. Laura? This isn't funny.
Why wouldn't it be funny? I thought you loved to play jokes, Jack. You're always playing jokes on me. Slamming the door, whipping off the covers, suddenly turning on... Why don't you turn off the light, Jack? Come on, just turn off the light. What are you, a baby? Hello? What are you? Turn off the light, Jack.
It's time for bed. You've got a whole day ahead of you tomorrow, buddy. Don't you think it's time to get some shut-eye? I guess I'll have to turn it off for you. Right here, Jack. Turn that light off, please. I don't want to hear any more complaining when you run out of battery. Jack, are you down here? What a baby. I can't believe you're still afraid of the dark.
It's okay kiddo. You should be. Jack? Jack, what's wrong buddy? Tilly, the light's not working. Screw the light! Jack? Jack? Oh my god!
