The narrator reveals that he still owns the mask from the original Horror Movie production. He shows the mask to the team of makeup artists working on the reboot, led by a nonbinary person named Janelle Ko. The narrator expects they will be disappointed by the mask. They are thrilled. The narrator repeats the story of the mask’s discovery, adding that every time he has moved houses since the original production, he has tried to leave the mask behind. The mask would mysteriously reappear among his belongings. He tells this embellishment to challenge the listener’s belief in Cleo’s story.

The makeup team fits a life cast of the actor who will be playing the Thin Kid alongside the narrator onto his head. The narrator disapproves of the other actor, suggesting that he will not treat the role as seriously as he did. The narrator will have his own life cast made in order to help the makeup team produce a new mask. They explain the process to him, which involves covering his upper body in silicone.

In the screenplay, a montage plays out, showing the teens being consoled over the disappearance of the Thin Kid. The teens return to the abandoned classroom to throw items at him.
