The Ghastly Love of Johnny X Page #3

Synopsis: A truly mad concoction, blending 1950s juvenile delinquents, sci-fi melodrama, song-and-dance, and a touch of horror, everything in just the right combination to create an engaging big screen spectacle! This curious and curiously entertaining story involves one Jonathan Xavier and his devoted misfit gang who, incidentally, have been exiled to Earth from the far reaches of outer space. Johnny's former girlfriend Bliss has left him and stolen his Resurrection Suit, a cosmic, mind-bending uniform that gives the owner power over others. Along the way, there will be several highly stylized musical numbers, lots of genuinely humorous dialogue, and a wacky plot-twist or two, all beautifully captured on the very last of Kodak's black-and-white Plus-X film stock.

He should be busted Why

can't you Johnny be good?

And we're gonna begin...

This is our chance

Gonna begin...

Our very last chance

With you!

Where is it?

Where are you

hidin' it, dollface?

Up your asteroid.

Ahh-ahh-ahh...

Aw, who's the loser now? Squaresville.

Starts with "B" and it

ain't Bobbi, that's for sure.

I'm not exactly sure what's

going on around here, but...

Yeah, you and the rest

of your world.

It's your call,

baby doll.

Give me what I want.

Do that...

and your little friend

here might actually live

to tell the tale.

You wouldn't dare.

Give it back to me...

or pay the price.

To think I was actually

in love with you...

If that's the way

you wanna play the scene.

Hold on.

What's he doing?

Careful!

Oh my God!

Let's spark that plug!

Get in!

We'll catch up with

them later, back inside, now!

You, out!

Let's fade, baby!

To black!

I charge you, as you value

the secret of that device,

to do nothing and say nothing

of this episode.

I know where

the girl is hiding

and can guarantee

her safe return.

I'm feeling very

uncomfortable, Snooky.

Fear not, my pet.

Except opening nights,

sober critics,

or a poker player

holding a winning hand,

which I assure you, my

leather-clad warrior,

I most assuredly am.

What should we

do, boss?

Should we

make him talk?

Knock his block, clean

his clock?

Get cool, Paulie.

If this fine, upstanding citizen

and his fine upstanding...

wife?

Girlfriend.

Whatever.

...have anything

to tell us,

I'm sure that's

exactly what they're gonna do,

Right?

That's right,

super-duper, Daddy-o.

So.

Where is she?

I really couldn't say.

Oh, that's it, boss- Let me

rock him, let me sock him!

Unless you agree

to assist me.

You know,

tit for tat.

What?

Nice hat.

Kill the engine,

chuckles.

Gosh.

I used to see

double-features here.

I've never seen a picture show

at the drive-in.

You haven't?

Almost all of these

babies are gone,

just like the buffalo

and the 35-cent hamburger.

I can't believe you've never

been to a drive-in.

I have, just

not for the show.

I thought I told you

to kill that engine.

I'm sorry.

I've never done anything

like that before.

I've never done anything

like any of this before.

Well, I have, more times

than you can imagine,

and it always

comes out the same way.

I'm sorry.

So who are those punks

and what do they want?

You don't wanna know.

I think I should know, now that

I'm on their must-hit list.

They call themselves

"The Ghastly Ones".

The Ghastly Ones?

What are they,

musicians?

Not quite.

Chip...

I'm in a bit

of a bind right now

and I could really

use your help.

I've never said

that to anyone before,
