"[Eerie cackling]" "[Sam screams and gasps]" "I wish Grandpa would stop giving me these stupid things." "SAM:" "Aah...!" "MICHAEL:" "It's okay." "I know who I am now, Sam." "Don't kill me, Mike!" "I'm basically a good kid, so don't kill me!" "SAM:" "I can help you." "Just tell me who the head vampire is." "I thought it was Max, but I was wrong." "SAM:" "Just work with me and I can help you." "You'll be okay." "STAR:" "Michael!" "STAR:" "Michael!" "SAM:" "It's that girl from the boardwalk." "Is she one of them?" " I have to talk to you." "Can I come up?" " No!" "MICHAEL:" "You shut the window and lock your door." "[Wind howls]" "She's one of them!" "And don't tell me it doesn't make her a bad person, Mike!" "MICHAEL:" "You know where David took me tonight, don't you, Star?" "Who's David?" "Yes, and it's my fault." "STAR:" "If you hadn't met me, if I hadn't liked you..." "I tried to warn you." "It was that night in the cave, wasn't it?" "That wasn't wine they gave me to drink." "It was blood." "MICHAEL:" "That was David's blood." "[Shouts] You drank someone's blood?" "Are you crazy?" "I'm just like David now, Star." "No, you're not." "You're like Laddie and me." " We're not one of them..." " Until you make your first kill!" "Why didn't you kill me last night?" "You were supposed to be my first." "That's what David wanted." "But I couldn't, Michael." "Why?" "Because you care so much about me?" "Yes, I do." "MICHAEL:" "What are you doing here?" "What do you want from me?" "I wanted to tell you that it's not too late for you." "But for me it gets harder and harder to resist." "I'm weak." "Why did you come here tonight, Star?" "I was hoping you would help Laddie and me." "[Michael cackles]" "[Wind gusting]" "Star!" "Don't kill anybody until we get back to you." "MICHAEL:" "What are you doing?" "SAM:" "I've got connections." "[Dramatic instrumental music, background]" "[Bike bell rings]" "Okay." "Where's Nosferatu?" " Who?" " The Prince of Darkness." "The night crawler." "The bloodsucker." "El Vampiro." "Mike, they're here!" "[Tires screech]" "SAM:" "Grandpa, okay if we borrow the car?" "[Waves crashing]" "EDGAR:" "Weapons check." "I don't want you going down there." "I'm going." "Look, this isn't a comic book, Sammy." "These guys are brutal killers." "So are the Frog brothers." "EDGAR:" "Check me." "SAM:" "Who'd you rather have go down there with you?" "Them or me?" "If something happens down there, I won't have the strength to protect you." "This time I'll protect you." "Even though you're a vampire, you're still my brother." "EDGAR:" "Listen, just so you know:" "If you try to stop us, or vamp-out in any way I'll stake you without even thinking twice about it." "Chill out, Edgar." "Where did you say you met these guys?" "[Bats' wings flutter]" "EDGAR:" "Holy shit!" "ALAN:" "Vampire hotel!" "EDGAR:" "Here's one." "Let's stake her!" "MICHAEL:" "Don't you touch her!" "Stay away from her!" "EDGAR:" "Come on, vampires have such rotten tempers." "MICHAEL:" "Star." "EDGAR:" "The rest of them have got to be here someplace." "We'll find 'em." "MICHAEL:" "Star?" "MICHAEL:" "I'm taking you out of here." "STAR:" "No, take Laddie first." "STAR:" "Please?" "I feel a draft." "I think there's something up here." "EDGAR:" "Let's check it out, Sam." "ALAN:" "Come on." "SAM:" "I'll be right back, Mike." "I hope." "EDGAR:" "Come on, Sam, let's go." "Move out!" "Move!" "SAM:" "Flies!" "EDGAR:" "We're on the right trail." "Flies and the undead go together, like bullets and guns." "Come on!" "[All breathe heavily]" "[Waves crashing]" "[Michael gasps]" "[Boys breathe heavily]" "What's that smell?" "Vampires, my friend." "Vampires." "[Coughing]" "[Michael breathes heavily]" "EDGAR:" "Come on!" "SAM:" "It's freezing in here." "SAM:" "It looks like a dead end." "Let's head back." "They must have hidden their coffins here someplace." "SAM:" "There's nothing here." "Let's go, guys." "EDGAR:" "Jesus!" "SAM:" "Aah...!" "SAM:" "I thought they'd be in coffins." "EDGAR:" "That's what this cave is." "It's one giant coffin." "Right now they're at their most vulnerable." "EDGAR:" "Easy pickings." "Remember, you just have to kill the leader." "EDGAR:" "We don't know which one he is." "I guess we'll just have to kill them all." "ALAN:" "Let's start with the little one." "First come, first staked." "What was that, a little vampire humor?" "SAM:" "It wasn't funny." "No!" "Good night, bloodsucker!" "SAM:" "No!" "[Screaming]" "[Vampires wailing, boys screaming]" "You're dead meat!" "[Growls]" "[David roars demonically, Sam screams]" "EDGAR:" "Get him into the sunlight!" "ALAN:" "Get him into the sunlight!" "[Screaming and wailing continue]" "Tonight..." "SAM:" "Mike!" "Start the car!" "Mike..." "Mike!" "SAM:" "Start the car." "Mike!" "ALAN:" "We blew it, man!" "We lost it!" "EDGAR:" "Shut up!" " We unraveled in the face of the enemy!" " It's not our fault." "They pulled a mind-scramble on us!" "They opened their eyes and talked!" "I'll drive." "ALAN:" "We don't ride with vampires." "Fine." "Stay here." "[Car door slams]" " We do now." " Yeah." "EDGAR:" "Come on!" "Sam, let's get out of here!" "Burn rubber!" "[Boys scream]" "EDGAR:" "Christ!" "SAM: "Burn rubber" does not mean warp speed!" "[Nanook barks]" "Cool it, Nanook!" "Your dog knows a flesh-eater when he smells one." "Take him outside, Sam." "SAM:" "Come on, Nanook." "GRANDPA:" "Michael." "Do you know the rule about filling up the car with gas when you take it without asking?" "No, Grandpa." "Now you do." "We definitely blew Plan A." "ALAN:" "Time to activate Plan B." "SAM:" "What's Plan B?" "EDGAR:" "We don't have one yet." "We have two and a half hours to come up with one." "SAM:" "What happens then?" "EDGAR:" "The sun goes down." "They'll be looking for us." "[Door slams]" "Mom." "Sam, what are you doing here?" "I've got to tell you something." "It's real important." "Santa Carla is crawling with vampires." "Mom, I'm serious!" "SAM:" "Edgar staked one of them." "It was screaming and fizzing!" "Look, there's evidence on my sweater!" "Mom, you've got to tell someone!" " You've got to tell someone!" " This isn't funny!" "I'm not kidding!" "They're coming to the house when it gets dark!" "Stop it!" "Right now!" "Stop it!" " But, Mom..." " Not another word!" "I don't believe you're doing this." "I want to see Max tonight, and you're trying to ruin it for me." "No, I'm not." "There's nothing wrong with Max." "I don't know why you don't want me..." "I'm not talking about Max!" "To hell with Max!" "I'll deal with you later, young man!" "SAM:" "Mom?" "LUCY:" "No!" "SAM:" "Guys, we're on our own." "EDGAR:" "Good." "That's just the way we like it." "[Dramatic instrumental music, background]" "[Door slams]" "Grandpa..." "Widow Johnson called." "Said to pick her up at seven, not eight." "We've got a date tonight?" "I guess so." "She said not to be late." "I better get cleaned up, then." "[Car horn blows a tune]" "[Grunting]" "Die, Mr. Vampire!" "[Dramatic instrumental music, background]" "They'll be coming for Laddie and me, won't they?" "They'll be coming for all of us." "STAR:" "Laddie, wake up." "[People screaming on ride]" "[Eerie sound effects]" "Aah...!" "[Eerie, dramatic instrumental music, background]" "LUCY:" "Oh, it's delicious." "MAX:" "Thank you." "[Thorn barks, Lucy gasps]" "Thorn, stop that!" "What's the matter, Lucy?" "It's just old memories coming back." "No, seriously." "Why are you so jumpy tonight?" "Well, it's something Sam..." "He came into the store..." "It was just a kid's imagination, I'm sure, but he seemed so sincere, but..." "It's insane." "Tell me." "I promise not to laugh." "Honest." "EDGAR:" "I think I should warn you all:" "When a vampire dies, it's never a pretty sight." "No two bloodsuckers go out the same way." "Some yell and scream." "Some go quietly." "Some explode." "Some implode." "But all will try to take you with them." "[Outdoor paraphernalia creaks and rattles]" "[Wind howling, bats screeching]" "[Nanook crying and barking]" "Nanook!" "I left him outside." "EDGAR: [Shouts] Don't go out there!" "Stop him!" "ALAN:" "Sam, come back!" "SAM:" "No way!" "ALL:" "Sam, come back!" "[Nanook barks]" "[Chaotic yelling]" "[Yelling continues]" "Michael, they're coming!" "STAR:" "They're coming!" "Hurry up, man!" "[Chaos continues, yelling and screaming]" "MICHAEL:" "Take them upstairs!" "[Blast]" "[Cackling]" "[Smashing]" " I say we terminate them right now." " Laddie, run!" "[Running footsteps]" "[Screaming]" "You're mine." "You killed Marko." "Yeah." "You're next." "No." "You're next." "Garlic don't work, boys." "Try the holy water, death breath!"

"[Cackling]" "[Screaming]" "[Fast-paced rock music, background]" "Death by stereo." "[Running footsteps]" "[Growling and hissing sounds]" "SAM:" "Come on." "[David screams]" "[Thumping]" "[Eerie cackling]" "[Squeaking]" "Hey, it's me." "Are you okay?" "I nailed one of them downstairs with a bow and arrow." "EDGAR:" "We trashed the one that looked like Twisted Sister." "We totally annihilated his night stalking' ass!" "EDGAR:" "And Nanook helped a little." "SAM:" "Death to all vampires!" "EDGAR:" "Maximum body count." "We are awesome monster bashers!" "The meanest!" "The baddest!" "[Screaming, wind gusting]" "[Gasping]" "Holy shit!" "The attack of Eddie Munster!" "Get him!" "Stop!" "Get away from him!" "Just stay away from him!" "He's just a little boy!" "[Growling]" "Ya...!" "You're afraid to face me, David?" "[Floor squeaking]" "DAVID:" "I tried to make you immortal." "MICHAEL:" "You tried to make me a killer!" "[David cackles]" "You are a killer." "[Both grunting and growling]" "[Bang]" "My turn." "[Grunting and groaning]" "Stop fighting me, Michael." "I don't want to kill you." "Join us." "Never!" "DAVID:" "It's too late." "My blood is in your veins." "So is mine!" "[David screams]" "[Children sing in background] "Thou shall not fall" ""Thou shall not die" ""Thou shall not fear" ""Thou shall not kill"" "STAR:" "Michael!" "[Star gasps]" "SAM:" "Mike!" "MICHAEL:" "Don't let them see me like this." "SAM:" "Michael?" "MICHAEL:" "Get away, Sam." "SAM:" "Michael, what's wrong?" "MICHAEL:" "I said, get away!" "What's the big deal?" "You destroyed the head vampire." "EDGAR:" "It's all over." "MICHAEL:" "Nothing's changed." "STAR:" "He's right." "I don't feel any different." "Then there's still one more." "LUCY:" "Sam!" "Michael!" "I'll handle Mom." "Come on, go." "SAM:" "Don't let her see the bodies." "LUCY:" "What happened?" "Where is Michael?" "What happened to your face?" "What happened to your face?" "[Footsteps]" "LUCY:" "I don't want to hear another word from you until I talk to Michael." "MAX:" "I'm sorry, Lucy." "This is all my fault." "David and my boys misbehaved." "I told you, boys need a mother." "Max, what are you talking about?" "I knew it!" "You're the head vampire!" "Sam, don't start this again." "You're the secret that David was protecting." "Who's this?" "ALAN:" "But you passed the test." "Don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy." "MAX:" "It renders you powerless." "Did you know that?" "Of course." "Everyone knows that." "Has everyone gone crazy?" "What's the matter with all of you?" "It was you I was after, all along, Lucy." "LUCY:" "What?" "I knew that if I could get Sam and Michael into the family there was no way you could say no." "Where's Michael?" "It was all going to be so perfect, Lucy." "[Screaming, background]" "Just like one big happy family." "Your boys..." "MAX: and my boys." "Great. "The Bloodsucking Brady Bunch."" "I still want you, Lucy." "I haven't changed my mind about that." "I didn't invite you this time, Max!" "Michael!" "[Max growls]" "Michael!" "Don't you touch my mother!" "[Sam groans]" "MAX:" "Don't fight, Lucy."
