TerrorVision Page #5

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?

We're, uh, having

a little, uh, party.

Hey, hey!

Hey, I said shut up, butt-hole!

- Oh, my God!

- All right, get back, lady!

- Oh!

- Sis, sis!

- Oh!

- Sis, run quick!

Freeze, son, you're under arrest.

Hey, hey!

Hey, you kids,

come back here!

You come outta there

or I'm gonna come in after you.

Damn you, kids, you-

What happened?

Saw that space guy on TV.

Went crazy!

Where's OD?

It ate him.

Oh, my God!

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna blow his butt

to kingdom come.

Huh?

First, secure the perimeter.

Sherman?

I'm calling the cops.

Second, break out the fire power.

Doo-doo, they cut off our phone!

Sherman, have you been making

prank calls again?

Here, best chance to stop him

is a brain shot.

What are you talking about?

We don't even know

where his brain is!

This is so stupid, Sherman.

This is like, totally disgusting!

Let's split,

we can use that cop's radio.

No, gotta evacuate

Mom and Dad first.

Wow, these grenades

are pretty neat.

Maybe I killed it already.

Didn't sound too dead

when it ate that cop.

Yeah, well,

maybe I wounded it.

OD!

Oh!

Gross!

Sis, get back!

Oh!

Mom?

Dad?

You guys in here?

Mommy?

Are you okay?

It ate them!

Sherman, let's get out of here!

Perfect setup

for a surprise attack.

Attack?

I'm so sure!

The hand grenade

didn't even phase him!

I've got an idea.

Huh?

Cover me.

Be careful!

Hi, monster.

It's me,

Sherman.

Boy-

Attack! Attack!

Sis, the remote on the wall-

throw it in the water!

Now, throw it!

Throw it!

Let's get outta here, Sherman!

Sis, stop!

Earth children, please,

I mean you no harm.

I am Pluthar,

here to save you.

Hey, it's the space guy from TV.

Whatta you want from us?

Please, Earthling,

there is little time.

I've come to exterminate

the hungry beast.

Like, what is going on

around here?

What is the hungry beast?

On my planet, the hungry beast

is a house pet,

similar to your earthly

dogs and cats.

But they are highly unstable,

prone to mutate wildly

and eat everything in sight.

When mutation occurs,

they must be exterminated at once.

You mean, like...

he was somebody's pet?

Oh, yes.

They're very lovable

before they mutate.

Okay, but like,

how did it get here?

In our house?

In the extermination process,

they are converted to pure energy,

beamed to the farthest reaches

of the universe.

It's really a very safe form

of waste disposal.

Yeah, but like, what did it do

with Mommy and Daddy?

- And OD and Gramps?

- And the TV guy?

The beast has ingested Earthlings?

Oh, dear, heavens,

I'll lose my position for this.

Who cares about your stupid

position, what about them?

Well... we do have a process.

If I can take the beast back alive,

which isn't likely,

the victim's genes could be extracted

from the hungry beast's tissue

and grown in special

serum cultures.

You mean, like, clones?

Clones of Mommy and Daddy?

No, no, they'd be

the real Mommy and Daddy.

Of course, they'd have to live

in special aquariums.

Come on, come on,

come on, chee!

Right, neighbors already

callin' the cops.

Oh, now this looks like

a happening party.

Yeah.

Messy crowd.

What?

Please, children, lay down your weapons

and take me to the beast.

Very well, let's go.

Son of a b*tch!

Medusa!

Not so fast, a**hole!

Yah!

Ugly bastard!

Uh.

I'm...

losing...

pressure!

Ooh!

Oh, my God!

Right in the nick of time, huh?

You killed him!

Spaceman, spaceman,

please don't die!

Hey, what's with you guys?

I just saved your ass!

How 'bout a little gratitude?

You killed him!

You killed him,

you stupid b*tch!

It was our only hope!

Huh?

Hey, what are you guys, nuts?

Hey, I'm history, man,

I'm outta here.

Shoot him, Sherman,

shoot him!

Shoot him, Sherman,

shoot him!

Come on, kid, blast him!

I can't, it won't work!

Shoot that gun!

That's it, I'm outta here!

The studio, Al,

and make it snappy!

Come on, come on,

come on!
