Vacancy Page #2

Synopsis: David and Amy Fox find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down. Luckily, they come across a motel with a TV to entertain them during their overnight stay. However, there's something very strange and familiar about the Grade-Z slasher movies that the motel broadcasts for its guests' enjoyment. They all appear to be filmed in the very same room they occupy! Realizing that they are trapped in their room with hidden cameras now aimed at them filming their every move, David and Amy desperately find a means of escape through locked doors, crawlspaces and underground tunnels before they too become the newest stars of the mystery filmmaker's next cult classic!

someplace back there.

Oh, yeah, the guy that helped us

so much before.

Well, you know,

you could get another sparkler, Amy.

- A**hole.

- Whatever you say.

Grow a penis.

Never see stars anymore.

At least not in L.A.

Kind of nice out here, really.

I bet Charlie would have liked it.

We should've brought him

sometime.

We never went anywhere.

The job was always too important.

- Why do you do that?

- What?

Every time I mention his name,

you take a shot at me.

- Stop mentioning his name.

- I'm not like you.

I'd rather just remember him

and deal with the pain.

Okay, you know what, David?

Do what you want.

He said he was getting ready

to close, remember?

Sh*t.

Look, let's just go back to the car.

You can sleep on the hood and

stare up at the stars you love so much.

Maybe they'll know

where we can find the guy.

Oh, God.

You've got to be kidding me.

What is that?

- I want to go.

- No.

It's okay.

Let's go to the car.

What are you doing?

Don't ring the bell.

Sorry.

- Hey, folks.

- Hi.

How can I help you?

Everything okay back there?

- Can we just? Can we just go?

- It's okay.

Sorry.

Things get a little boring

around here late nights.

I believe that.

Say, there's a mechanic

at the garage over there.

He helped us with our car earlier.

You know him?

I think he's gone home for the night.

He'll probably be back

tomorrow morning.

I was wondering if you could

get in touch with him.

The car actually broke down

two miles back there.

We just walked up here.

I sure can't. I sure can't.

I'm sorry.

Do you know another garage?

There's Clark's...

...about 20 miles east.

- Okay.

May I borrow your phone?

I'd like to give them a call...

...see if they can maybe

come and give us a hand.

All I got's a pay phone,

right out there.

- That's great.

- Works on dimes...

...if you need them.

- Okay, I do.

It's real.

No, It doesn't have to be

exact change.

Thank you.

Trouble is...

...Clark's won't be open either.

Not this late.

So I guess I don't need these, huh?

Not if you need a garage.

Yeah. We do.

But like I said, guy over there

will be back around 8...

...if you can wait that long.

I'm sure he can get you running.

Meanwhile, I'm wide open here.

Shocking.

Okay. Thanks.

Well, we can either stay here...

...or we walk all the way

back to the car.

David, this is a f***ing nightmare.

I don't know.

Yeah, we'll go ahead and stay here.

Thanks.

I'll give you two the honeymoon suite

for $5 extra.

It's got a few perks the others don't.

A regular room will be fine.

Thank you.

I'll give it for the same rate.

Well, whatever works.

Whatever's fastest.

All right, I'll give you my card.
