Meanwhile, one of the guests becomes possessed, knocks out Jess's brother Dave, and leaps into the portrait of the Scarecrow that hangs into the gallery. As Ben and Alicia are about to leave, screams ring out and a flaming demon materializes out of the Scarecrow painting.Ben is noticeably uncomfortable with the supernatural aspects of this whole thing, particularly when the demon's blasts burns his unstable molecules Tux. As he faces down the demon, an eerie laughter floats from the window and Ben glances over to meet the Scarecrow...
