Tales From The Basement
The only way you're going to be able to escape is most likely through trickery, so you get the idea of letting him think Mom's spirit is possessing you.
You immediately fall to the floor and begin to convulse and speaking in gibberish just like you've seen those fakers on televangelist healer programs.
"G..,George! H he help m me! Argh bleh! Garrrgh!" you gibber.
Dad's so gone by this point he believes this act entirely. He runs to your side and holds your hand.
"Bertha! You've returned! W..what do you need? I'll do anything!"
Lacking any complex ideas, you just need to get out of this room.
"W water! Grah! Lots! Raghhh!"
Dad immediately picks you up and with one hand and unlocks the door. He runs with you towards the stairs where the bathroom is nearly slamming into Peter and Kevin along the way.
"Get out of the fucking way! I have to save your ARGH!" he cries out when you jam your thumb in his eye causing you to drop you.
"Quick, get all this on camera!" Peter shouts to Kevin.
You recover just in time to avoid Dad trying to grab you.
"You little bitch! Stop fighting it! Your mother MUST enter your body!"
This threat is followed by a stroke of lightning and thunder, which causes Dad to act even crazier.
"Lightning! I know now what I must do! Bertha I will bring you back!" he exclaims and then runs back to the bedroom.
"Peter call the fucking police, I'm getting the hell outta here, Dad's lost it!" you shout
"Kevin, make sure you're getting my good side."
"PETER! This isn't a fucking game! Call them NOW!"
Your demands to Peter are cut off when you see Dad come back with a lightning rod in hand!
"THIS! Will bring her back! The power of lightning will destroy your disobedient soul and allow hers to enter!" he says and then charges at you will the rod.
You run from your crazy ass Dad and manage to get outside where it's storming pretty good. You don't get far when you feel something hit the back of your head and you collapse to the ground.
With the rain beating down, you feel a kick to your ribs to turn you over. You look up and see your Dad with lightning rod in hand.
"AND NOW BERTHA WILL RETURN TO ME!" he shouts with the rod raised over his head ready to bring it down on you.
Dad's lightning rods were always considered the best quality
Even with there being higher structures in the area, the lightning strikes the rod immediately and fries your Dad to a crisp. Fortunately his legs weren't touching you and you scramble and crawl to a much safer distance.
The lightning doesn't just hit him once but several times before he falls over smoking and completely black. The smell of burnt flesh is strong even in this heavy rain.
"HOLY SHIT!" Kevin shouts still holding the camera.
"You get all that? This is going to make a great finale!" Peter replies.
In the aftermath, Peter does indeed manage to piece together some sort of movie from all this though he can't use the real footage so he makes up a horror movie based on the events. It sort of becomes an underground hit in the horror genre. Due to it being based on you, you get to claim most of the profits. You sell your Mom's ring too, as you don't want to be constantly remembered of that dark day.
With the film money and what you got with the ring, you decide to move out of the basement (and house) to put this life behind you for good. You're not sure what you're going to do exactly, but you won't be a basement dweller anymore.
