Vacancy Page #4

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!

...keeps banging on the walls

and he won't stop.

You got any ideas?

- The room beside you?

- Yeah, Room 3.

I go over to talk to the guy

to get him to stop...

...but he just keeps doing it.

So I gotta say,

I don't know what his problem is.

Now, that is very strange

seeing as you folks...

...are the only guests

I got in here tonight.

Well, somebody's in there, okay?

And I gotta say, I'm pretty exhausted.

You sure it's Room 3?

Yeah, we're in the corner, right?

Number 4?

Well, it's the room right beside us,

with the big rusty 3 on it, okay?

- So I'm pretty sure.

- Okay, okay.

Every once in a blue moon,

a college kid or drifter...

...will sneak in through the window

for a good night's sleep.

The cleaning lady will find trash

on the floor or sh*t in the toilet.

Usually they don't cause much

of a disturbance, so...

- Well, this one is, okay?

- Let me go check it out for you.

And if those work,

I'd think about bringing one.

- I am ass-tired of shooting at crows.

- Give me a hand.

F*** it.

It's okay.

So, what happened?

What did he say?

He just thinks it's some drunk.

He's gonna take care of it.

- Did you hear anything else?

- No.

I was hoping I would

and I'd know what they were.

I'm sure they just saw me walk

over there and then they took off.

Now we get to enjoy this luxury resort

in peace and quiet.

David, maybe we should just leave.

Just go back to the car.

I'm not gonna walk anymore tonight,

okay?

Let's just gut it out here

for a few hours.

We'll get the car fixed and we can

just get the hell out of here.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

You're not watching that right now?

Well, why?

Look, I'm just gonna unwind

a little bit.

And make sure the guy

from next door is gone.

You gotta take advantage of the perks.

It's worth the extra 5 bucks.

Or is it?

- God.

- Sh*t.

What is it?

- This bathroom's disgusting.

- Yeah?

- David?

- Yes?

That manager guy's definitely

gone over there?

Yeah, with a six-shooter.

He's gonna take care of it,

so just relax.

Gotta make sure his only two guests

are happy.

This looks like a real library

of classics.

Come on. One more.

Jesus.

Bet this really gets the

honeymooners in the mood.

Can you turn that off?

It's the last thing I need right now.

Well, the least they could do

is give us a little porn.

Can't you just mute it or something,

so I don't have to hear it?

You get the f*** out of here.

Susan!

What?

I told you to turn it off.

Just get away from us!

What is it?

David?

Do you see that room?

From the movie?

What about it?

- What movie is that?

- I don't f***ing know.

F*** me.

David, is that this room?

It sure looks like it.
