Venom Page #4

Synopsis: SPOILER: Eric and his Yankee teenage mates travel South by motorbike to a swampy backwater town in Louisiana, where Sean's father Ray lived, the local tow truck driver, who abandoned the then baby-boy and his mother. Ray recently died, while trying to rescue a voodoo witch and at her urging her trunk, which got opened and released the poisonous serpents possessed by the souls of truly evil sinners she trapped in them. Ray was bitten and possessed as the car sunk, and shortly after it's dragged out rises as an 'undead' zombie, who murders without provocation and is immune to lethal weapons. He soon finds the teens' trace and proves his indiscriminately evil blood-thirst by charging his only offspring equally lethally. However they were warned by Eden's friend Cece, the witch's granddaughter, who explained the situation in her home and assures them when the zombie attacks it's safe thanks to a 'blessed' spell preventing evil from entering; alas the chain- and crowbar-waving undead finds

Yeah, spruce it up a bit.

Bring the business back

to the Happy Time gas station.

What do you think, like a light blue,

maybe? A sunny yellow, perhaps?

Something real happy, right?

Come on, Sean.

I'll take you home.

So how do I look?

Do I look like

I'm gonna be a good gas pumper, huh?

'Course, I'm gonna have to get myself

a tattoo, right? And a big scar.

'Cause if I'm gonna be the new town freak,

I gotta do it all the way, correct?

Hear that?

So what do you think, man?

Do you think I got what it takes? Huh?

Do I got what it takes?

Are people gonna come through here

and ring my bell?

Huh? Are they gonna ring my bell?

You think they'll come through?

- Don't do this, man.

- Don't do what?

Yeah, don't worry, Dad.

I'll make you real f***ing proud.

Sean! Sean, come on, man!

Sean, stop it!

- Get the f*** off me!

- Come on.

Oh, sh*t!

This is some weird sh*t.

I don't like it.

When did Ray's body go missing?

I don't know, but I think I saw

his truck this morning at the cemetery.

Who else is missing?

Terry who works at the morgue...

and Deputy Turner.

What's going on, Cece?

It's a voodoo temple.

Grandma was a mambo,

like her mother before her.

It's in our blood, Eden.

For generations,

people would come here to worship.

It's a religion, like any other.

It's full of spirits - both good and evil.

They're called loas.

Grandma helped a lot of people here.

She was a good woman.

Your grandmother was wearing this.

It's a baka.

It's a charm that protects against evil.

What was she doing

out so late last night?

You know over in Cypress,

where they're building that new mill?

There's an old Creole burial ground there.

She was afraid of what

someone might find if they started digging.

The suitcase?

Grandma saved souls.

Murderers,

sadists,

the most vile men.

She milked them of evil.

What was in that suitcase, Cece?

Every soul that she ever milked...

was inside that suitcase.

So if those snakes got set free

and if they killed Ray,

the evil of countless souls

is inside of him right now...

possessing his body.

You're really

starting to scare me, Cece.

You said it yourself.

You saw his truck outside the cemetery.

Now his only instinct will be to kill

and to sacrifice to the dark loas.

Nobody's safe, Eden.

Nobody's safe.

Should we go now?

She's really out of it. I mean, she's saying

some weird stuff. I think she needs help.

- What's wrong?

- I don't know, but there's no phone here.

- Do you have your cell?

- Like we're gonna have reception here?

Listen. You guys need to go to my house,

get my mom and bring her here.

Call the sheriff.

Make sure he gets here too.

What is going on, Eden?
