you're screwed, okay?

Satan is our only chance.

We're in league with the beast now.

And we have to make a really

big impression on it.

And to do that, we're going to

have to butcher you.

And bleed you.

And Dirk here is gonna wear your face.

Relax, I'm kidding about the face.

The rest is gonna happen though.

You know what?

May be we'll write a song about you.

I think as a fan that would be

pretty cool, right?

With the deepest malice,

We deliver this virgin unto thee.

Dude, that is a hot murder weapon.

It's a bowie knife.

Bowie? Nice.

Alright, here we go!

It's gonna be alright.

Help me please..please..

Help me...

Wait a sec!

I just thought of something.

Jen.

Jen, you're the girl for me.

You don't know me.

But you make me so happy.

I tried to call you before,

but I lost my nerve.

I used my imagination.

But I was disturbed.

Jenny, I got your number.

I need to make you mine.

Jenny, dont change your number,

..8-6-7-5-3-0-9....

..8-6-7-5-3-0-9....

..8-6-7-5-3-0-9....

They killed you.

- Oops!

I'm still here, aren't I?

I mean, they did go Benihana

on my ass with that knife.

And it should have killed me but...

..for some reason...

..it didn't.

Maybe it did.

Anyway, I don't really remember

what happened after that.

I just know that I woke up and...

..I found my way back to you.

I remember.

I couldn't bring myself to hurt you.

I mean, I'm a really good friend.

I was just so hungry.

Ahmet!

You made it out?

Are you lost?

Does your host family know that

you're alive?

Does anyone know you're alive?

You come with me.

We will sort this out.

And ever since then, I just knew what

I have to do to be strong.

And when I'm full, like I'm right now.

I'm like...

..unkillable.

Like I can do sh*t like this.

Watch!

It's really cool.

Just relax. Look.

It's like some X-Men sh*t, right?

What do you mean, when you're full?

What about my mom's Kia?

Why were you covered in blood?

You didn't even look human.

You know, Needy, maybe you should

talk to somebody about these...

..disturbing thoughts.

..that you're having.

We're all really concerned.

Especially, Chip.

I think he may be having

second thoughts about you.

Leave!

Come on, Needy.

Let me stay the night.

We can play 'boyfriend/girlfriend'

like we used to.

What are you doing?

- Um, you said to leave.

See you at school.

We're gathered here to celebrate

the life of Collin Gray.

Who was plucked from the prime

of his youth.

They did a big memorial assembly

for Collin at school.

And we had to watch another

presentation about curfews...

..and the buddy system and

how to deal with grief.

But nobody seemed to care anymore.

Sorrow was last week's emotion.

Sure we all hope this would be

the last funeral.

But I knew better.

So I did some research.

Paranormal research.

OFFERING A VIRGIN TO SATAN.

..forever feed on flesh to...

Destroying a demon.

Demons are weakest when hungry.

But a blade to the heart is the

surest way to kill the beast.

Jennifer and I hadn't spoken since

our encounter in my room.

Actually, I hadn't really spoken to anyone.

Hey.

I just bought our formal tickets.

Did you make reservations at

the Cheesecake Factory?

Chip, I can't go to the dance

with you.

What? Why?

Look, just trust me.

You shouldn't go at all.

What're you talking about?

- Not here.

What's going on?

You're breaking up with me?

Please, Chip.

I just need to tell you something.

Is this about Jennifer?

- Yes.

But I promise you this is the last time...

- Needy, I care about you.

A lot.

As a person, not just some girl

I made love to four minutes ago.

And-And I'm scared of what's

happening to you.

You're acting really f***ed up.

- Please just let me show you.

Okay.

Jennifer's evil.

I know.

No, I mean, she's actually evil.

Not high school evil.

I've been through the occult section

of the library five times.

Our library has a occult section?

Yeah, its-its really small...

You have to read this.

Demon...

- Demonic transference.

It's something that happens...

..when you try to sacrifice

a virgin to Satan...

..without using an actual virgin.

The guys from the band...

..tried to sacrifice her in the woods.

But what they didn't know...

..is that she hasn't been a virgin

since junior high.

It all makes sense now.

Read this.

If the human sacrifice is impure,

..the result may still be obtained.

But a demon will ever reside in the

soul of the victim.

She must forever feed on flesh

to substain the demon.

Okay.

- She's eating boys!

They like make her really...

..pretty and glowy...

..and her hair looks amazing.

And then when she's hungry,

she's weak and cranky and ugly.

I mean like ugly for her.

So, you get it?

The dance.

It'll be like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Needy, I think you need help.

Oh, my God!

You don't beleive me.

It's not that I don't believe you,

I just don't believe this.

God, this is a nightmare.

And what about the dance?

Who cares about the goddamn dance, Chip?

- I do.

I ordered your corsage,

it's an orchid.

It was like $12.

I'll be at the dance.

I just need to keep an eye on Jennifer.

Promise me, you're not gonna go.

Needy, I...

..I'm not your guy anymore?

Chip, it's not safe for us to be

together right now.

"Finishing School"

performed by Dashboard Confessional

You hit me once,

I hit you back.

You gave a kick,

I gave a slap.

You smashed a plate over my head.

Then I set fire to our bed.

You hit me once,

I hit you back.

You gave a kick,

I gave a slap.

You smashed a plate over my head.

Then I set fire to our bed.

You hit me once,

I hit you back.

You gave a kick,

I gave a slap.

All over Devil's Kettle,

kids are getting ready for the dance.

Truthfully ignorant that some poor chump

was on his way to being Satan chow.

In my underpants, Mom!

- I need to give you something.

What, Mom?

Ladies's pepper spray?

There's obviously a sicko out there

who likes boys.

Mom, I can take care of myself.

I've been using the Bowflex.

Did you hear what Colin Gray looked like

when they found him?

Lasagna with teeth?

- You heard.

You picking Needy up at her house?

I'm-I'm meeting her at the dance.

I want pictures with your sister

before you go.

Yes, ma'am.

"New Perspective"

performed by Panic at the Disco

Stop there and let me correct it.

I wanna live a life from a new perspective.

You come along because I love your face.

And I'll admire your expensive taste.

And who cares divine intervention.

I wanna be praised from a new perspective.

Okay, one more.

Back to back.

Big smiles.

Chees-s-s-e.

"Death"

performed by White Lies

I wonder what keeps us so high up.

Could there be a love beneath these wings.

If we suddenly fall should I scream out?

Keep very quiet and cling to

my mouth as I'm crying.

So frightened of dying,

Relax, yes, I'm trying,

But fears got a hold on me.

Yes, this fears got a hold on me.

Here, we all are...

Quiet-Quiet now, please.
