(intense music)
(upbeat music)
(turning pages)
- (Nicholas) "Don't copy the behavior and customs
of this world.
Stop loving this evil world
and all that it offers you.
For all these worldly things, these evil desires,
these are not from God.
And this world is fading away,
and these evil, forbidden things will go with it."
- Step right up!
Don't be left out of the fun!
See it here, all the shocking sights and sounds!
(laughs evilly)
Have a nice trip!
(laughs)
(whooshing)
Another satisfied customer.
(laughs)
(clattering)
- Whoa!
(screaming)
(bonk!)
(distorted symphonic music)
- (Nicholas) "To be a new and different person,
fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right.
Dwell on the fine good things.
For whoever keeps doing the will of God
will live forever."
(static)
(dramatic music)
Cyborg 2, this is Blue Fox leader.
Quadrant four, sector seven is secure.
Do you copy?
- Roger, Blue Fox.
No sign of alien encounter yet.
- Keep your eyes peeled.
- I see movement in quadrant three.
- Well, set phasers on massacre.
- Roger, Blue Fox.
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
(toy guns warbling)
- (Nicholas) I know this looks kinda strange,
but Louis and I figure,
if you have to be a kid you might as well act like one.
- What is it?
- Phantom space pod!
(screaming)
(toy guns warbling)
- A valiant effort, earthling.
But that was only a three-dimensional projection
of my pod.
(laughs evilly)
- Cheater!
- What?
(electricity zapping)
- Nicholas?
Come on in, it'll be getting dark soon.
- (Nicholas) But Mom!
- Come in, now.
- (Louis) Getting dark soon?
Sometimes it seemed like Mom
lived in a different time zone.
(laughter)
- Let me in, it's getting dark!
It's getting dark!
(laughs)
I don't know, Nick.
Cyborg's mom always makes him come in
when it gets dark.
- Oh, very funny.
(toy gun warbles)
Ha ha.
- Hey, check it out!
Night of the Blood Freaks Part IV.
Starts tomorrow.
In 3D.
- Aw, no kidding?
- Remember last year in Twilight of the Blood Freaks,
when he got those guys at the campfire.
- Naw, I didn't see it.
My folks wouldn't let me.
- Man, they don't let you do anything.
- Hey, that was a year ago.
I'm a lot older now, right?
- Have you seen the commercials?
- Oh yeah.
- First...
There was Dawn of the Blood Freaks.
Then Day of the Blood Freaks.
Then...
Twilight!
But now,
as the shadows begin to fall,
it's Night of the Blood Freaks!
(shouting eerily)
(laughter)
(breezy music)
- (Nicholas) Louis and I weren't the only ones
excited about the movie.
- It's in 3D,
and the soundtrack to the movie is by Death Threat.
- I've seen all the Freak movies.
- Seen 'em?
You starred in 'em.
(laughter)
So what do you think?
There's a 12:15 matinee tomorrow.
- It'll be great.
- Think your mom and dad will let you out of the house?
- Hey, I can handle my folks, no sweat.
- Absolutely not.
- But Mom!
- Why would you want to go see a gross movie like that
anyway?
- 'Cause he's gross.
- It's not that bad.
Besides everybody's going to see it.
Come on, please?
- Please what?
- Nicholas wants to go see a movie with Louis.
- Well, sure, why not?
What's it rated?
Hello?
- A real classic.
Night of the Blood Freaks?
Part IV.
- In 3D?
(sighs)
- No way.
Absolutely not.
- But Dad!
- Honey, we don't want you filling your mind
with that kind of garbage, you know that.
- But Mom!
- I told you!
- Shut up!
- Nicholas.
- Well, why am I always the one that can't do anything?
- Nicholas.
- Can't do this, can't do that.
- One more word out of you, young man.
- It's not fair.
Everybody else gets to go see it.
But I have to sit around with a bunch of old...
- Nicholas!
- That's it.
Now you don't talk that way in this home.
Go to your room, you're grounded.
- Hello, Nick.
- Go smell your socks.
- Wound a bit tightly tonight, aren't we?
Oh, I know.
Look, kid, you watch movies like that long enough
and pretty soon they'll stick a sign on your head
that says "Dump site."
(hollow knocking)
- What are you, some kind of film critic
or something?
- (McGee) Well, as a matter of fact...
(bouncy theatrical music)
Let's take a look at our next clip.
The Molting Falcon.
Now this is a real classic.
- My names is Shade.
Spam Shade, Private Eye.
(creaking)
She walked in and lit up the room.
(whooshing)
(bonk!)
Her name was Thelma.
The kind of babe your mom warned you about.
(coughing)
But mom was in Cleveland getting a nose job.
She was looking for a bird.
A Molting Falcon.
(dramatic music)
What's the deal with this music anyway?
But the whole thing smelled rotten to me.
(flies buzzing)
(woman screams)
Well, that wraps up another case for Spam Shade,
Private Eye.
- You know, they just don't make films like that anymore.
Great story, great dialogue,
and a particularly great performance by the lead.
On a scale of 1 to 10,
I give this a thumbs up.
- No way, if that film was any flatter
it would be in The House of Pancakes.
Now if you want to see a great flick,
take a look at the new remake.
(lurid music)
(bullet zings)
(squeaking)
(gunshots)
(explosion)
(lurid music)
(coughing)
- You call that fun?
(coughing)
Why not just stick your head in a garbage can
or something?
- 'Cause then I'd have to room with you.
(telephone rings)
- Hello.
- (Louis) Hey, Nick, ready for the show?
- I can't go.
- (Louis) What?
- I'm grounded.
- Grounded?
How are you gonna go to the show if you're grounded?
- I'm not.
- Man.
Hey, wait a minute!
Wait a minute.
Blue Fox.
- (Nicholas) Huh?
- Remember last week's episode?
Remember the plan Cyborg 2 used to free Blue Fox
from the dreaded Black Tower?
- Yeah?
- (Louis) We could use that.
(low key suspenseful music)
- Ah.
(adventurous music)
(mid tempo music)
Testing, testing, one, two, three.
(mid tempo music)
(walkie-talkie beeps)
Cyborg 2, this is Blue Fox leader.
Do you copy?
- Roger, Blue Fox, I'm reading you loud and clear.
Synchronize watches...
To 11:28.
And let's commence execution.
- Execution?
- The plan, stupid.
The plan.
- Oh.
Right.
- (McGee) You'll be sorry.
- Aren't you coming?
- Unh-unh, no way.
I got principles.
I got convictions.
♪ I got rhythm
- I'll give you dollar.
- I gotta get my shoes.
- (Mom) Well, she's just started coming
to the counseling center.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
- (Nicholas) Suddenly, this plan didn't seem so easy.
(suspenseful music)
- No.
Yeah, yeah, I think so too.
- Cyborg 2, Cyborg 2.
Emergency in the kitchen.
Request diversionary tactic.
- Roger, Blue Fox.
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell rings)
- Oh, Mary Ann, can you hold on?
There's somebody at the door.
Hold on just a second.
Sarah!
Sarah?
Sarah, can you see who it is at the door?
I'm sorry, where was I?
Uh-huh.
- (Nicholas) Crawling around on the kitchen floor
wasn't exactly the great escape I'd pictured.
- Of course.
Of course, that's what she wanted all along.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Alright, well, I'll talk to you a little later.
Okay, hon, bye-bye.
Sarah?
Who was at the door?
- Mother?
- Sarah?
Sarah.
There you are.
Who was at the door?
- (Sarah) No one.
- Mm.
Probably some screwy kids.
- Mom, Nick's upstairs.
- (Mom) Very funny.
- (Sarah) Grandma?
- Yes, dear?
- Can you help me with my curtains in my room?
- Oh sure, sweetheart.
How do they look?
Is the length okay?
- Well, yeah, kinda , but it's uneven at the bottom.
- Well, we'll fix it.
(suspenseful music)
- (Nicholas) A few more feet and I was home free.
Or...free of home.
(barking)
- What on earth?
Whatever.
(barking)
Whatever.
Are you alright?
(barking)
What's wrong, fella?
(whistling)
- Come here, boy.
(whistles)
(barking)
- Come here, Whatever.
Whatever!
What's wrong with you?
Come here.
- Thanks.
- That'll cost you another 75 cents.
- Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
(birds chirping)
(door slams)
- Meet me over by that Buick.
- Let's just go to the theater.
- That's not what Blue Fox would do.
- Yeah, Blue Fox's mom wouldn't chase him
around the kitchen either.
- Let's just stick to the plan.
- I don't remember there being a Buick in the plan.
(upbeat music)
Wait a minute.
How are we supposed to get in if we're not old enough?
- No problem.
Come on.
Two, please.
Wait up, Dad!
His dad.
- Dad!
Dad!
(light beeping)
- (Nicholas) Who is it?
- (Mom) It's Mom.
- (Nicholas) Um, I'm drawing right now,
could you come back later?
- Okay.
(ominous music)
(creature snarling)
(screaming)
(creature growls)
(creature snarling)
(creature yells)
- Nicholas?
- (Nicholas) Who is it...
(tape recorder malfunctions)
- It's Mom, are you alright?
You sound...tired.
- (Nicholas) Um, I'm drawing right now.
(tape recorder squeals)
- Nicholas.
It's Mom, what's going on in there?
(tape recorder malfunctioning)
- (Woman) Nicholas...
It's Mom...
- What are you doing?
- What's it look like?
I'm talking to myself.
- (Woman) What's it look like?
I'm talking to myself.
- Nicholas!
Nicholas?
- (Woman) ...talking to myself.
(electricity zapping)
Nicholas!
Nicholas?
(zapping and beeping)
(laughs)
- Let's face it, Mom, he freaked.
- Yeah.
(creature hissing)
(guttural snarling)
(eerie music)
(hissing and snarling)

- Nicholas?
Come in here.
Did you go to the movies?
- Yes, sir.
- Did you enjoy yourself?
- No, it was awful.
- Do you realize what you've done?
- Sit down, Nick.
When your mother and I told you you couldn't go,
it was for a purpose.
- We were trying to protect you.
- Your mind is the most important thing you have.
That's why the Lord is very clear when he says
we have to be careful what we put in it.
Now whether you enjoyed the movie or not
is beside the point.
Just by going to see it you've put something
into your mind to...
To dirty it.
To pollute it.
It's bound to affect your life.
It's garbage in, garbage out, Nicholas.
- You've got scenes in your mind that you can never erase.
You've got pictures that...
May be with you for the rest of your life.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry too, son.
(mournful music)
I want you to go to your room
and give this some thought.
I'll be up in a little while
to talk about your punishment.
(mid tempo music)
- (Nicholas) Well, you might say
we did more than talk about my punishment.
And with all the extra chores I got that week,
I had plenty of time to think about the things
Dad said.
(sighs)
I need a break.
- So, are we finished?
- No, we are not finished.
I still have to haul all these boxes
from the garage to the attic.
- Boy, the folks are riding you kinda hard, aren't they?
- It could be worse.
I could have to sit through that stupid movie again.
(laughs)
I tell ya, McGee, I'm through with watching garbage
like that.
- Mm-hmm.
- But you gotta help me.
That kinda stuff's all around.
- Yeah, it's tough making right choices,
but it's like I've always told ya,
the road to ruin is paved with crude inventions.
- Oh, inventions.
Like the time you told me to use Mom's vacuum cleaner
to rake the leaves.
- It would have worked if you hadn't hit the sprinkler.
- Or how about the time you told me to cut the sleeves
on my shirt so that Mom wouldn't see the tear?
(laughs)
Or how about the time...
- You know, his mind really is full of...
Garbage.
