Joel: You have to love those authentic Maine accents. Girl [to cops, in monster voice]: Salem's Lot! Salem's Lot! Second girl: Shut up, you're making it worse! Tom: How? Crow: Don't worry, vampires only attack virgins. Tom: So they're safe unless their daddies find out about this. Joel: The other three kids are going to die right away. Crow: How can you tell? Joel: They're sassing the cops. That's another monster-movie rule. Kids who talk back to their elders always die. [VAMPIRES ATTACK] Joel: Twenty minutes and we finally get some fang action. Crow: Except I don't see any fangs. Tom: Low budget. [MONSTROUS VAMPIRE APPEARS] Tom: *Really* low budget. [MONSTER-VAMPIRE CLUTCHES THE FACES OF TWO KIDS] Joel: Wasn't he the stunt-double for the "Alien" face-hugger? [CONSTABLE TALKS TO SECOND GIRL] Constable: Your only chance is to run for the church! Joel: Or the Screen Actors' Guild. Crow: Why would a town built by vampires have a church? [GIRL RUNS INTO TOWN, IS GRABBED BY VAMPIRES. ONE CLAWS HER THROAT, AND AS SHE ESCAPES THE VAMPIRES LICKS THE BLOOD FROM HER FINGERS] Tom: Smells like teen spirit . . . Crow [as Lugosi]: I taste the blood of a virgin! Joel: How can you tell she's a virgin? Crow: She's still alive. That's a monster-movie rule. Virgins live longer. Tom: They still die. What a lousy way to go. Crow: See what good, clean living gets you? [GIRL RUNS INTO CHURCH. VAMPIRES LOOK IN THROUGH WINDOWS] Tom and Crow [tauntingly, as vampires]: You're still a vir-gin! You're still a vir-gin! Joel [upset, as girl]: I'm not a virgin! I'm not a virgin! [CONSTABLE SPEAKS TO BLOODY-MOUTHED VAMPIRE] Constable: Wipe your mouth! Joel: Comb your hair! Crow: Tuck in your shirt! Tom: Eat your vegetables! [THE WOODS. TWO WINOS SIT AROUND A CAMPFIRE WITH A BOOZE BOTTLE] First drunk: Hey! . . . Hey! Tom: Ah, a graduate of the Stanislavsky school of acting. Crow: Notice the emotional depth he adds to his lines. [TWO LITTLE GIRLS APPEAR] Second drunk: Come closer, little girls, I'll show you how funny we really are! Joel: They're going to die, too. Crow: It's another monster-movie rule? Joel: Yeah. Prove you're unsympathetic so the audience won't care when you die. Tom: But I thought the idea of a horror story was to make you care about the victims? Joel: If you did, that would be horrible. Crow: The horrible thing is that they made this movie. [MORE VAMPIRE KIDS APPEAR] First Drunk: I think they're retarded! Second Drunk: No, they're disturbed! Joel: Well, they just sealed their fate. [VAMPIRE KIDS ATTACK DRUNKS AND DRINK THEIR BLOOD] Crow: Aren't they a little young to drink? Tom: It's okay. They're only drinking Blood Lite. |
