Midnight Movie Page #4

---

Hey, hey Bridget.

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

Um... I'm just.

I don't know, I just,

I don't want to watch the rest.

Why?

Did you see that lady's arm?

It's just hitting a little close

to home, Ok?

I'm sorry. Come here.

I just don't feel safe in there.

Bridget, your Dad's not here.

Alright? He's only up here.

And you and your brother

are safe now...

'cause I promise

I'm not gonna let anyone...

hurt either of you

ever again. All right?

Jackie, you should get out of the sun.

She's fine.

Was that a car?

Let's hope it was someone

with a new tire.

That tattoo better be damn good.

Here comes another one.

This guys a goner.

Whenever they switch to a POV

like that, they're dead for sure.

- What?

- Who is he?

I don't know.

The guy with the tire, I guess.

You're in trouble now, buddy.

Please, let me go.

He looks familiar.

What other movies has that kid been in?

No! Stop! Please!

This is awesome!

There's not that much blood.

It's only the second kill.

It'll get bloodier.

It always does.

Come on baby, it's not that bad.

Speak for yourself. This is freaky.

You know... They say that scary

movies are anaphrodisiac.

If you get turned on by this,

we're breaking up.

I just don't understand why you

want to watch that kind of thing.

You saw somebody actually doing that.

Exactly! It's not real.

It's just a thrill, you know?

It gets your heart racing.

You face your fears.

Yeah, well, I guess it's just

different for me then.

No, no it's not.

Look, everybody likes to get

scared every once in a while.

Even you.

Think of it as a roller coaster.

Come on, you love those.

- Yeah.

- See see. It's the same thing.

I mean yeah, yeah they're scary but...

they're safe.

Even roller coasters crash sometimes.

All right, all right, you win.

But will you come back inside for me?

You can let go, be scared. It's okay.

Plus, I mean I like it when you're scared.

You uh, you grab on to me.

You make me feel important. Please?

Okay.

Jesus, was that you?

Sorry.

God that reeks!

Why do you think he was at Newhaven?

By the time we got him,

he had abandoned

his own identity altogether.

He actually thought that

he was the killer from the film.

Do you think what happened was

his way to immortalize his movie?

No. Radford was a man

obsessed with scaring people.

The movie was just a vehicle for him

to act out his own depraved fantasies.

Jeez, I thought that was

supposed to be cathartic.

In Radford's case it only

increased his taste for it.

Dude!

Damn scrumptious,

chocolate covered raisins.

Damn. Should have gotten the jumbo.

Where is that boy?

Something's wrong.

He's been gone too long.
