TerrorVision Page #3

Synopsis: A civilization on a distant planet has found a way to solve its garbage problem: turning it into energy and beaming it into outer space. A flaw in this system is found when the signal is accidentally picked up on Earth by the Putterman Family's home satellite dish. While this would ordinarily be just another mess, this particular transmission contains a hungry trash monster who quickly begins snacking on the Puttermans and their guests. Only young Sherman Putterman has any clue what is going on, but nobody will believe him. Is there any hope for the Earth?

You know, you really got

a cute kid there.

Have you ever thought

about putting him in the movies?

I mean, I know

a really sweet agent.

Oh, God no.

Sherman's much too neurotic

to be an actor.

Yeah, the only thing

the kid is interested in

is being a soldier.

Oh, such a manly pursuit-

raping and pillaging,

creating life

and taking it away,

like the Gods

of the ancient Greeks.

Well, hey, guy,

I mean, I'm a lover

not a fighter.

Comprende?

Uh, Spiro, why don't you

come help me make the drinks?

Excellent idea.

I make a wonderful margarita.

Very unusual.

Go for it!

Raquel, do you have ouzo?

Uh, no, I don't even know

what it is.

Too bad, I make

a delicious ouzo margarita.

So, uh...

here we are.

Yeah.

Is it cool if I get in there?

Cool? Babe, it's a perfect 98.6.

It's like floatin'

in your mother's womb.

Cool? Hey, go for it.

That's what it's there for.

Okay.

Holy tomatoes.

Oh, it tickles.

- Are you coming?

- Yeah.

I just gotta change my clothes.

Eh, look, whatever you do,

don't touch this.

There's something screwy

with the waterproofing

and uh, well, I wouldn't want

you to get electrocuted.

Me neither.

Hurry back?

In a flash.

Oh, man that bikini is dynamite.

What are you looking at,

you creep?

So, tell me, Raquel,

how long have you

and Stanley been swinging?

Well, to tell you the truth,

we've only tried it

a couple a times.

It's so hard to meet nice people

through the classifieds.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean.

One never knows

what one is getting into.

But you and Cherry,

you're so sweet-

regular folk.

Stanley's such a fascinating fellow.

A real renaissance man.

Definitely.

He's got a really high IQ.

People of Earth,

please heed my warning.

A terrible accident has occurred.

I am Pluthar,

sanitation captain

of the planet Pluton.

A stray energy beam

containing garbage

from my substation

may be headed

for your solar system

and could possibly result

in the total annihilation

of your species.

I'm so terribly sorry

for the inconvenience.

I went to my hair dresser today

to have my hair ratted.

You like?

Oh, it's really something to see.

We use live rats, you know.

Snakes just eat 'em up.

Mm-mm, mm-mm.

Whatta you know?

It's time for all you phone freaks

out there to give us a call.

Share your darkest hearts.

Meanwhile, back to Attack...

of the something or other.

Me, here, who's there?

Is- is this Medusa?

Well, who's it sound like, kid,

Count Dracula?

What's your name, I said.

Well, this is Sherman.

And I have this problem

and nobody believes me.

Oh, well,

maybe I won't believe you either.

Let's hear it.

Grampa and me,

we were sleeping.

And then we woke up,

and there was this monster.

And Grampa thought

it was a burglar.

And then we saw the TV guy.

And then Grampa disappeared

and the monster went inside the TV.

Then Mom came home

and locked me in the bomb shelter.

So, tell me, Sherman,

currently under psychiatric care?

No, really!

Sorry, Sherman, time's up.

Sherman?

Come here, Sherman.

Come real close

to Medusa.

All set, Sherman?

This one's for you, babe.

Pleasant dreams, kiddies.

So, tell me, Raquel,

is Stanley a manly man?

Oh, God, yes.

A real stallion.

No, what I mean is,

does Stanley take it

like a man?

Oh, yeah.

I guess so.

I thought so.

And what about you, Spiro?

Are you a real manly man?

Oh, yes, indeed.

Spiro Xeros is the manliest of men.

Spiro... do you think that maybe

I could have a little sneak preview?

Mmm?

Hey, Raquel, has there been

some misunderstanding?

Whatta ya mean?

Well, I'm Greek, you know?

Oh, of course, you're Greek.

It said so in the classifieds.

Oh, don't worry,

we're not prejudice.

No, no, no, you don't understand.

I am into Greek.

Greek culture.

I like boys.

Stanley is such a manly man.

Oh, my God, Stanley's never

gonna believe this.

Spiro,

how's my main man?

Ahh, Stanley,

how marvelous you look.

- An old family recipe.

- Oh.

Whoa, whatta ya got

in here, Spiro?

Rocket fuel?

Gettin' ready to, uh, blast off?

Stanley, uh-

Spiro, why don't you

take Cherry her drink?

We'll join you in a few seconds.

Excellent idea.

See you soon, eh, tiger?

You bet, guy.

Yassoo!

- Down the hatch.

- Yeah, mud in your eye.

So, uh, whatta ya think?

You like 'em?

Uh, well, now, look,

they're very nice.

- But-

- Yeah, yeah, lookin' good too, huh?

Are we gonna swing or what?

Ahh,

you look so serene,

my darling.

Like Cleopatra on the Nile.

That Stanley- hot stuff, huh?

Oh.

A little warm, don't you think?

Ahh!

Yechh, what is this,

algae?

Ahh,

maybe it's a sex lubricant, huh?

You are so beautiful.

How 'bout a quickie, huh?

A little aperitif, eh?

Just a quick little suck,

eh?

Well,

just gonna have

to straighten out old Spiro

about the facts a life.

Now, Stanley, don't get belligerent.

Yeah, yeah, yes.

Stanley.

Listen, Spiro, we gotta

work something out, pal.

Where are they?

Spiro?

Cherry?

What the hell did that homo

do to the Jacooz?

Maybe Spiro's cocktail

made someone sicky-poo.

- Stanley?

- Yeah!

Stanley, it looks

like something's in there.

No, I hope they didn't

electrocute themselv-

Wait a minute.

What is that?

No, no, no.

Mom! Dad!

Police department,

Officer Nutky speaking.

Hello, this is Sherman again.

There's really a monster,

it's eating Mom and Dad.

Please, help me!

I warned you about this, son.

You are in a helluva

heap a trouble.

Screw you!

Remember what

I told you about explosives, boy-

blow your dang balls off!

Where's the party?

Oh!

Did you feel something?

Yeah, like 3.5 on the Richter scale.

Army dude, what are

you doin' up this late?

Sherman, are Mom

and Dad home yet?

Sis, stay here.

Somethin' weird's goin' on.

Sherman?

What are you doing?

There's a monster loose.

It ate Grampa.

I think it just ate Mom and Dad.

Honestly, Sherman,

sometimes you are such a nerd!

Sis, don't go in there.

Sherman, stop it!

Yeah, buzz off, dude,

I wanna party.

Are Mom and Dad home yet?

They were here,

some other people too.

The monster got 'em.

Sherman, will you shut up

about the monster?

I'm gonna make you

take your pills.

Pills, what color?

Follow me.

All right, dude, pill freak.

Don't worry, he'll be asleep

in five minutes.

He has these attacks sometimes.

It's like sleepwalking

or something.

So, what's the deal, Sherm?

Where's the big monster?

Shh-hh.

Where's Mom and Dad?

Where's Gramps?

Whoa, man, puke city!

P- U!

Sherman, did you do this?

Careful, you geek,

that thing's loaded!

Sherman,

gimme that, butt-hole!

No, there's more

in the bomb shelter!

Follow me.

Come on!

Be right back, okay, baby?

No sweat.

Hey, what's on el tubo?

Mom?

Dad?

Are you there?

Hi, kids.

Cherry, Spiro,

these are the kids.

- Hi.

- Yassoo.

Remember, kids, you do

your thing, we do ours.

Mother, that is so disgusting!

Night-night, now, kids.

Try and keep it down, will ya?

Thanks.

Barf me out!
