This is so great.

You know, you should really post

some tips

on how to your look on the

cosplay boards.

I have a Facebook group too.

You should...

...this place. Wow!

You know, this would really be

like

the best date ever.

Oh!

Amazing!

What props, and the makeup?

You really didn't have to

do all this for me. I mean

this...

It's for true love.

I mean, that's great.

I mean, you know I'm into the

whole

horror movie thing and

everything,

but you didn't have to do all

this.

This is...

Okay, this is your seat

and I'm sitting right here.

Oh, okay. Yeah, great.

Let's do this.

So...

You talk a lot.

I'm sorry.

Am I talking a lot?

I talk a lot when I get nervous

and I'm really nervous right now

because I rarely ever go out on

dates.

Rarely.

I mean, like never,

and you're so...

hot!

If I'm not being too forward.

I'm really glad we met.

Okay, it's time for the movie.

What kind of film is this?

Is it a creature feature, or a

slasher,

or aliens?

It's a good one.

Cool!

Hey, babe.

I supposed

old Manna the bear and her cubs

are about bedded down for the

winter.

Yoo-hoo, anyone home?

Hi, Mr. Ranger.

Hey, mom, Mr. Ranger's here.

What's up, man?

Good morning.

F***ing cartoons.

What time is it?

Three, I think...

Where's Nancy at?

She's waking the others.

Come on guys, we have to hit

the road.

We're coming.

Seriously guys come on I know

what you're doing.

We have to hit the road.

I really shouldn't...

...Betty's going to be pissed.

F*** her.

You guys are seriously toking?

Don't be mad?

I won't be mad if you don't

bogart the thing...

Pass the Jane.

My girl is the coolest thing

in the world.

Way cool

Hey baby what's up?

They're in there doing it

again.

You guys what the f*** are you

doing?

It's totally Zen baby.

All aces.

Really? Well I don't want to

stay

another night in this dump.

We have sh*t to do.

You know what? You're right.

Come on.

Let's jam brother.

Upsy daisy.

Hello. Hello?

This makes shop lifting easy.

We really are in the sticks.

The bathrooms locked.

How're you all doing?

Sorry nature called.

Great do you have the key to

the bathroom?

The bathroom ain't worked in

ten years.

Should have just boarded it up

instead of locking it.

Suggestions then?

I usually go out back behind

the oil drums.

You have any cold beers boss?

Oh yeah sure.

American beer only.

None of that European crap.

Works for me.

Can I get seven dollars on pump

2?

Fillin' er' up. Alright.

You kids on spring break?

Something like that.

Don't get very many vacationers

up here anymore,

especially since all the bad

press

this place has been getting.

Oh you are talking about those

missing persons.

Serial killers, monsters in the

woods...

Some'n like that.

Oh hey, man.

Yeah, let me take a couple of

these.

Alright.

Oh honey, I need some Bit O'

Honey.

Are you serious.

We'll take these

not these.

Hello?

Do you want a bag for them?

No we're drinking in the car.

Alright, we're jetting!

Guess what? I'm commandeering

the 8 track.

No more of that Captain &

Tennille bullshit.

11 missing people

over the past three years

all within a sixty mile radius.

I haven't seen a town for sixty

miles.

Yeah seriously, your research

is not exactly spot on...

the last three hot spots...

hot spots had nothing, zilch.

I just read the news.

How can you read a coloring

book?

I vote we keep driving.

I'll make that call.

Oh. Oh, okay.

Make the call.

Put your foot down. Oooh.

My van, my road trip, my rules.

Could someone get their twist

in a joint,

and turn up the music please?

Hey what do you want to listen

to, Jerry?

No Doobie Brothers.

We can't listen to music

we'll miss the hot spots, right

guys?

Could we at least put some

tunes on?

There's no power.

Oh God.

Hey Jerry, tell us a story?

You're always so funny.

Oh. Oh no, Jerry is not very

entertaining.

Hey, I resent that.

I think that you are very

entertaining

No, no please don't give him a

hand job

in this car. We don't want to

see that.

Guys I think someone is coming.

No sh*t.

Not in here out there.

Hey, pretty thing.

What seems to be the problem?

We're stuck can you help us?

Yeah I'll take a look.

Lost a spark plug wire.

Well sh*t fire and save

matches, boy.

How long have you been driving?

- All night at least five hours.

- Five hours, yeah.

Deader then a door nail.

Really?

I ain't got that part in my

shop.

You'll have to wait till

morning.

Is there a motel nearby

or somewhere you can take us?

Yeah?

Nearest motel is about 100

miles back that way.

Oh. That's where we just came

from.

He's not that creepy.

No, he's...

he's creepy.

Are you desperate enough I guess

I can let you all stay at my

place.

Really you'd do that?

Sure, fix it in the morning.

It would take me

fifteen minutes to put the part

on.

Take no time at all.

We don't want to be any

imposition.

Ain't no trouble. Just gotta

give you

a heads up though,

my family's a might bit

eccentric

if that don't bother you.

Different strokes for different

folks, right?

We just don't want to sleep in

the van again.

Why don't you hop in the truck

there, boy.

And you, pretty little thing,

hop in the van

Appreciate it.

Who would stop in the middle of

the night?

He is going to let us stay at

his house.

Perfect strangers.

That's kind of weird.

Bad idea to talk to strangers.

Now you all remember now,

like I said about my family,

ain't quite typical...

especially you big city folk,

you're big city folk right?

Yeah.

Brother!

Hey!

Sweetheart!

Good to see ya.

This here is my baby sister

Ruth.

Candy. Everybody calls me

Candy.

Incest... check.

Gosh, Ruth is kind of an old

sounding name

don't you think?

Yeah.

Hi. June.

Jay.

So why do they call you Candy?

Because I am the sweetest thing

in this entire county.

I bet you are.

Hi. I am Nancy and I am not

amused.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, Mama.

Oh.

This here is Ron.

He and his friends,

they got stuck in route 33.

They going be staying the night,

if that's okay.

Oh, well how do you do?

Good to meet you Ma'am.

How many friends did you say?

Ah, they'll be six of them.

Six!

Some real good party.

Yeah!

It's my brother's 45th.

Now, I know you can't believe

that I would have a son that

old, can you?

I never would've guessed ma'am.

You look great.

Oh well now, aren't you just

most charming

little devil, you.

Will you stop that!

Sh*t fire, Mama!

I'd told you not to get in my

cooking.

Yes ma'am.

We are gonna have

some real good party tonight.

Ah, you do like cake don't you?

I love cake.

Oh I hope we have enough...

nice meeting you, I'll be right

in.

And get that chaw out of your

mouth.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

One set of lovers campus beds.

These beds are really sturdy.

See, Cody is really good with

his tools.

Ron and I will take this room.

Great. Okay so there's two more

rooms

down the hall, so just make

yourselves at home.
