Mutilator 2 (2023) Movie Script
[eerie music]
[suspenseful music]
[gasping]
Where have you been? Where are the others?
I don't know, I'm scared.
Something's wrong.
[Ed Jr.] Girls, just calm down.
No, Mike and Linda have never come back.
Ralph went to go look for
them and now he's gone too.
Help me find him.
-[Ed Jr.] Alright, alright.
-We'll find him.
Yeah, we'll look around down here.
You go upstairs
and get dressed.
-Okay.
I'm not leaving without Ralph.
Just gonna drive over
to the sheriff's department
-on the main road.
-We'll be right back with help.
-I'm not leaving!
-[Pam] You've got to come!
Let's take one last look around.
We'll be right back.
One last look?
One last look?
Alright.
Okay, you two go around
that side and I'll go this way.
Uh-uh, Buddy, I'm sticking with you.
Why don't you two go around this side
and I'll go around that side?
-[Pam] Make it fast.
-Okay.
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music]
[Olivia choking]
[phone ringing]
[Jon] Cut! Cut!
[phone continues ringing]
I thought I said, "no phones on my set"!
[phone continues ringing]
Who in the hell has a goddamn
phone ringing on my set?
What?
Goddammit!
I thought I told you to never ever call me
when I'm fucking working!
Bitch![Glass shatters]
Flashing.[Camera clicks]
Goddammit! Delete that.
Get off my set.
Okay, first positions.
Sydney, tell Shastrom and Ferrell,
"we're gonna do the poke gag next".
[Newby] Watch the barn
doors. Don't cut yourself.
[McNutt] Yeah, man, I've done this before.
[Newby] All right.
[Julian] Can't be done,
bro. The day is over.
What?
Union rules, boss.
It's triple time now. It's the golden time.
It's just one more shot.
It won't take but a bit.
You can shoot it if you want
to, but it's just gonna cost more.
Three times as much, plus
we get additional turnaround
and an extra meal.
Goddammit! It's just one more shot.
Let's put it up to the crew for a vote.
Sorry, it can't be done. Union rules.
Just one more shot, Julian.
I've seen your notes, bro,
there's like three more setups.
That would probably take
like four hours with shooting.
That's half a day. We're
already 14 hours into this day.
No can do.
Come on, bro. We can finish
this thing and wrap tonight.
Can't be done, bro.
Besides, the wrap party and
the horror fest are scheduled
for tomorrow night.
-Horror fans are gonna be here.
-[Jon groaning]
-[Newby] Mind the doors.
-[McNutt] Right.
You'll pay for this.
Sydney, tell Shastrom and Ferrell,
we're not gonna do the poke gag today.
We'll do them tomorrow
morning, first thing.
That's it for today, everybody. Thank you.
Be here tomorrow, 10:00 AM sharp.
You can leave anything here you want.
It's a hot set. We have security.
But a 10:00 AM call
tomorrow? All that daylight again.
We'll just close the doors again.
Newby can handle it again, no sweat.
Not tomorrow. Tomorrow's Saturday.
Not a work day, unless you
wanna pay time and a half.
-Goddammit!
-Hey, it beats triple time.
You and me need to talk.
10:00 tomorrow?
Okay, folks, that's it for
today. Call tomorrow, 10:00 A.
-[Newby] Mind the doors.
-[McNutt] Right.
[Bo] Olivia, I'm strangling you.
Like, my hand is against your neck.
Like, how could you
ever think you can speak?
Yeah, but I still think
I should have a line.
And I mean, why do I
have to wear this stupid wig?
'Cause your hair looks nothing like hers.
Yeah, but it's a remake.
I'm not supposed to
even look exactly like her.
[crew member] I'll take that.
[Sandy] And I'll take that.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
Anything else?
-[Sandy] That's it.
-I'll see you at the shop.
[Sandy] Fo' sho.
She should totally have a line.
[McNutt gargling]
Henry has been looking for you.
Ugh, that douche-nozzle?
I've been dodging him this whole shoot.
He just wants the vag.
I can't say I blame him.
[laughs] Shut up, McNutt!
You know what? I don't even
know why I keep hiring you.
Because you told Mom you'd look after me.
Yeah. Worst fucking mistake of my life.
Next to getting into the movie industry.
Jon, you okay?
Never been better. You?
[Ruthie] Ugh.
[RH] The condo at the beach,
it's changed since you were here before?
[Ruthie] It was just a
movie, but it brings bad vibes.
[ominous music]
[RH] Yeah, we're gonna have a good time.
[Ruthie] Even if it kills us.
[RH] Hey, you know what? Lets go check in.
[Ruthie] Why did you buy this stupid car?
Because it's cool.
[Ruthie] Well, it won't start.
Try putting your foot on the brake.
-There you go. [Chuckles]
-[car engine rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
[Jack] Hi, how are you?
Pardon me for asking,
are you the killer from
the last movie they made?
Yes, Big Ed.
I thought so.
Maybe you won't be doing
any killings this weekend.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Never mind. My killing days are behind me.
So you're safe,
for a while maybe. [Laughs]
[clerk] Thank you. I'll
pass the word around.
-Keys. You have some keys.
-[Clerk] Keys.
-Thank you.
-[Clerk] Here are your keys.
Don't forget your bag.
Your name tag is in this bag.
You'll need to wear it to the party.
Ah. Okay.
- Ah! Hello.
- Hi!
It's really you!
Hi Jack. Kill anyone lately?
You know, I was just telling
this lovely young lady here
that my killing days...
[exhales] are behind me.
It's Mr and Mrs RH Martinez.
I recognize you from the
last movie. Welcome back.
Yes, it's good to see you.
We're so glad to have
been invited to the party.
Hey, do you remember
which room I had the last time?
No, I don't. Um...
I just remember it was pretty
far away from everyone else's.
[all laugh]
Yes, they tried to keep me
away from everyone else
to preserve my character's
reputation as the good girl.
-Yeah.
-No partying for me.
Well, how did that work for you?
[Ruth chuckles]
[Jack] I'll see you two outside.
Oh, keys.
-Thank you.
-[Clerk] Don't forget your bags.
[Clerk] Here are some name tags in there.
You need to wear them to the party.
Very good. Thanks so much.
Hey Jack. How you doing, sir?
[Jack] I'm fine.
Good seeing you again.
Good to see you.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
-Yeah.
-And speaking of which...
Jack?
[Jack] Sweetie.
[laughs] It's so good to see you.
It's good to see you, guys.
Good to see you.
How have you been?
I've been well, Ruthie.
How long has it been?
Too long, friend. Too long.
That's what Buddy said.
[Jack and Ruth laugh]
Can you believe these el cheapo swag bags?
[Ruth chuckling] Oh, Bill, they're okay.
Look, a t-shirt.
Yeah.
Oh, Ruthie, Did you get your old room back?
It was 216, right?
I don't remember.
Uh-huh? I do. It was room 216, all right.
I don't remember my room number either,
but I don't remember a
lot of things nowadays.
[Jack and Ruth laughing]
-Hey Bill.
-[Bill] Yeah?
You know what my favorite
kill was in "The Mutilator?"
Hmm.
That was when I grabbed
you by the throat with a
thumb and finger! [Bill groans]
Man!
I always wanted to do that.
Just one more take. Just one more.
[Jack laughing]
Oh, I'm gonna go get settled in.
See you later.
[Bill] Yeah, see you later.
[creepy music]
There's something I don't
like about Bill. He's so smug.
I can't quite put my finger on it,
just like he knows
something that we don't know.
I hardly knew him.
[dramatic music]
[Sandy] You are one ugly motherfucker.
Hey, Sandy girl.
[Sandy] Henry! Great.
[Henry] I'm not bothering you, am I?
Not at all, just gluing some stuff on.
I've been looking for
you all over the place.
Well, these slashers keep the
prop department pretty busy.
[Henry] That's good. That's good, sweetie.
Look, listen, I'm dying
to ask you this question.
[Sandy] What's that?
Well, it's kind of,
I don't know how to say this.
It's weird. It's uh...
Just go ahead.
[Henry sighs] Listen, doll face,
I might embarrass you, okay,
when I say this, so...
[Sandy] I'm a big girl, so out with it.
Hey, wait, is this the first movie
that you've been working with me on?
Yep.
[Henry] Listen, I've heard nothing
but good things about you.
That's great.
You are going to be working
with me very soon again.
I'm telling you.
Well, thank you.
I am often available, sometimes too often.
Listen, I can do something about that.
[Sandy] That'd be great.
I still don't know how to put this.
Spit it out.
Okay, when a man
and a woman wanna get together
and do a certain thing
in the situations that are
in a way, you know, it just...
They gotta get inventive. You understand?
Yeah, inventive? Um, not exactly.
When they wanna get intimate,
non intimate ways, you know?
Not really. I don't know.
They wanna do it, but
they don't, you know...
[Sandy] Henry? Henry, are
you hinting at some head?
[Henry] I heard you a suck
a mean dick. Is that true?
Um, where did you hear that?
[Henry] I can't reveal my sources,
but if it's true, hey, why
don't we find out, okay?
Look, I can help you with
your career, eh? Come on.
If you insist.
No, I can't insist. It
all has to be voluntary.
Step here in case somebody walks in.
I like how you think.
[Sandy] Okay, take the little guy out.
[Henry] Oh, he's not little.
[Sandy] Are you ready?
Oh, I see that you are
not a shower or a grower.
[Henry] What?
[Sandy] Just stick it through the curtain.
I don't like being watched.
You ever wonder what
deep throat is all about?
Oh, you're so big. You're
gonna have to push real hard.
[Henry] Well, I could do that.
Okay, push now.
[Henry moaning]
That's good, baby.
Oh, you keep that up.
[imitates fellatio]
Oh yeah. I like a little fur
down there from time to time.
[imitates fellatio]
What's up, dude?
Nothing much. Just giving Henry some head.
Uh? Come again.[Sandy laughs]
Excellent choice of words.
[imitates fellatio]
[Henry] What the fuck?!
[Sandy chuckles]
What the fuck? [Screams]
Easy. It's glued on there.
It might take some meat with it.
It might take the whole thing off
and that would require
stitches, lots of painful stitches.
Many.
How do I get this goddamned thing off me?
Uh, well, you could use
an acetone or a solvent,
um, some nail polish remover or alcohol.
Machete.
But any of those would
probably burn like hell.
You could try to whittle it off.
Oh, but you wanna be
careful with that knife.
Yeah, that prop cost you a lot of money.
Try not to damage it. Oh,
plus we may need it again.
[Henry] And then what, bitch?
A cold shower?
Oh? Cold shower.
You are never working for me again.
What the fuck are you looking at?
[dramatic music]
[Henry muttering]
Hey, back it off. Oh, shit.
I had an accident. I'm sorry.
He's gonna have to live with that?
Nah, if he'd take a bath
with soap and water,
it would wash right off.
On skin, that glue
deteriorates in 36 hours.
He'll wake up day after tomorrow
and it'll come right off, so to speak.
Have you hummed a kazoo lately?
McNutt, I swear.
Wait, you never seen one of these up close?
You know, I never really understood
how to play those things.
Oh, I guess Henry got some bad intel.
-Just shut up, asshole.
-As long as you put
the big end in your mouth and then you hum.
[flute toots]
You are weirdly good at that.
Oh, thank you. I got you one.
Oh, thank you.
[flute toots]
How is he supposed to pee?
[Sandy laughs] Henry? Oh shit.
[McNutt] Oh my god.
[kazoo tooting]
[both kazoos tooting]
You need to quit hampering the shoot.
My job is to look out for
the crew, not the shoot.
I'm not intentionally hampering anything.
I'm just doing my job.
[Jon] Well, lighten up!
Me lighten...? You lighten up!
Look, you've been working that crew
for 14 hours a day for five
days now. They're tired.
But they're professionals
so they keep giving.
You need to give them a
short day and a pat on the back.
Yeah, I know. You're right.
I just wanna get this thing
in the can and move on.
It's been a pain in the ass.
They sent us the wrong lenses,
the hard drives have all failed.
Even the special effects
gags haven't worked
and the crew laughs at the fucking dailies.
This is a goddamn horror
movie, not a comedy.
What are we looking for?
My phone.
We're over budget, behind schedule.
So what else is new?
But I understand.
-Um, the one you threw?
-Mm-hmm.
I'll talk to the crew.
Tomorrow's the last day.
You only have that one scene left to film.
Why don't you give 'em a short day?
Call it a 10 hour day
and put it in the can.
The crew appreciates the tip
and the wrap party would be fun
and everyone will feel good about the shoot
and about having worked with you.
Maybe some of them may
want to work with you again
if the money's good.
Look bro, I'm sorry I popped
off at you the other day.
From now on, we'll do it your way, okay?
Union rules and everything.
[Julian] You know I love you, man.
Asshole.
[ominous music]
Who's there?
Hey, what's up?
[Jon screams]
[blood sputtering]
[ominous music continues]
[chuckling]
[fire extinguisher hisses]
[Julian] Oh, what the... Oh!
We're damn lucky that this
guy didn't destroy the set.
I'll tell you that,
because that would ruin
my day if that happened.
Is that right? Is that right, man.
[indistinct] Can you fix that or what?
Yes, sir. We can get it back up in no time.
All right. Hey, man.
All right, I gotta get
outta here. I'm outta here.
Julian, hey, how you doing?
Listen, take over for me. Okay?
Cover for me, please.
Just keep my name out of
this, you know what I mean?
But keep me posted,
all right? See you later.
[security guard] That's
right. At the Oceanana Motel.
Send a black and white and an EMS.
Copy that.
Don't you guys have a safety officer
or somebody here on set?
Who's supposed to be keeping
an eye on everybody's safety?
He is.
[dramatic music]
[Joe] Detective Joe Colombo, ABPD.
Columbo, really?[Joe laughs]
Yeah, big funny.
I'm cooler than Falk, but I don't smoke.
One of the remaining few.
[radio chattering]
[Joe] This belonged to the victim?
[Julian] Hard to say. There
were a few going around.
Every cast and crew member got one.
Might be the victim's.
[Julian] It could be.
Might not be the victim's.
So how could an accident like this happen?
There was no accident.
That light was bagged. It
wouldn't have just fallen over.
[Joe] You think it was pushed?
My brother knew his way around the set.
He didn't trip on it.
Yeah. Yeah, I think someone pushed it.
Has anybody been on the set recently?
Everyone's been on it for days.
Bag it.
Are you in charge here, Mister...?
Hill. Only temporarily.
Who's the head cheese then?
Henry, the producer is in charge.
[Joe] I need to talk to him. Where is he?
You just missed him. He had to leave.
He's not available right now.
I'm in charge for now.
The headman is here or he can't see me?
[Julian] He asked me to talk to you.
A man is dead. He doesn't
wanna talk to the police?
[Julian] He wants to talk to you.
He is just, uh, indisposed
at the moment, sir.
I really can't say more than...
I... I am authorized to speak for him.
Okay. I need to talk to
everyone that works here.
So get me a list of names
and let's start with your, uh,
Mr. Producer.
Actually, sir, most of
the people are sleeping.
Wake 'em up.
Some have left for the night.
They'll be back tomorrow.
We'll start with the people
who are here. Wake 'em up.
May I suggest an alternative?
No.
What?
Tomorrow's the last day of shooting.
We need to finish this movie.
It's already gonna be
problematic enough with Jon dead
if we can finish it all.
It would just make things
worse if you got everyone excited.
There appears to have been a murder here.
I need to talk to your people one-on-one.
So who was the first on the scene?
I understand. Security guy was first.
But listen,
tomorrow after the last
shot is the wrap party.
Everyone will be here.
Come and mingle with the crowd
and figure out who you want to talk to
and talk to them then.
Yeah, I don't like it. It's too informal.
I will give you a complete
list of the cast and crew.
Everyone will be relaxed.
The job will be over.
There's pressure off.
Actually, they would've been drinking
so there'll be loose lips,
if you know what I mean.
When does the party start?
[Julian] Around 8:00.
Maybe a little earlier for
those who aren't needed on set.
[Joe] It's not how I
operate, but I'll do it
and I'll be the life
or maybe the death of your party.
Where's the security
guard? I'll talk to him now.
He's over there.
[radio chattering]
[RH] Hey, save my seat,
please. I'll be right back.
[Bill] Good morning.
Hey Bill.
Ruthie, I would like to introduce you
to my new friend, Ann.
Hey Ruthie.
[Ruth] Hello, Ann. Are you on the shoot?
[Ann] I'm a PA, but
not on call this morning.
I am. My name's Jack Chatham.
Big Ed in the original.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Well, thank you very much.
Ugh. Hi, RH.
Hey, what's this?
You take my seat? Drink my coffee?
What's next?
[Bill chuckles] Well, if
Ruthie's not too busy.
[loud smacking]
-Oh man!
Well, lucky for you, I don't like bacon.
[RH] Yeah, right. Move.
[Bill sighs]
-[Ann] Sit here.
Everything all right at this table?
[Ruth] Everything's fine.
We are just recreating a
moment from the movie.
Say, aren't ya'all the
folks from that movie
that was made here?
Yep, these three were in the cast.
Well, I'll be!
The principal actors.
We're glad to have y'all back.
Breakfast on the house today.
Whoa, why thank you, my kind sir
and would you happen to
have any steaks on the menu?
[chuckles] You kidder. Enjoy your meal.
I... I wasn't kidding.
Well, now you are.
Here's my number, y'all.
Send me yours so we can stay in touch.
[Bill] Ann has been working
very hard on this motion picture
and she thinks that she
has a career in the industry.
And speaking of which,
what in the heck have all
y'all been doing the past,
I don't know, 35 years or so?
[laughs] Well, I gave up full-time teaching
to direct and perform more.
I work all the time now.
Yeah, I'm a singer-songwriter.
As a matter of fact, I just
got back from Nashville
where I was recording an album.
So who have you been
bothering all these years?
[Bill laughs]
Ah, funny!
Listen, I have been in real estate
and I have done quite well.
Thank you very much.
Is everyone excited
about the party tonight?
Two days of R&R at the beach?
Well, at first I didn't think
this was gonna be very much fun,
but now that I'm here,
I'm beginning to see the possibilities.
The cast and crew eat
here. I wonder where they are.
[Bill] Well, praise the Lord.
[Ann] Maybe they're in church?
On a Saturday?
[ethereal music]
My sister-in-law would tell you
that my brother was a special man,
a great human being, a miracle worker.
He turned many second rate screenplays
into great motion pictures
and yet he was never awarded an Oscar.
All the guy did was make shit.
Profitable shit but it was shit.
No one was ever watching that.
I'm gonna miss him.
Pfft.
He liked show business.
He was the most beautiful
person in the whole world.
And he may have seemed
like a self-important person,
like an overbearing person,
but really, he was just insecure,
and full of self-doubt.
He was universally loved.
A fabulous friend and a wonderful leader.
The things he cared about; Life, love,
kindness to others, gentility...
Mom, apple pie...
[Julian] He was a good man.
A humanitarian, a sweet soul.
He was an asshole.
Now, [grunts]
how are we going to finish this thing
without fuckwad?
He was slow as shit and behind schedule.
We'll just finish it. It's basically done.
We can use that last take,
lose the sound of Jon's phone ringing,
but we can do it.
Just one last scene.
It's important to us to finish it too.
It'll look bad on our
resumes if we don't finish.
People will think we're jinxed.
No, it has to be reshot.
The talent reacted to
the ringing in the phone.
Okay, well up to the ringing then.
Ed, you saw it? Can we use any of it?
Yeah, I mean, I can use
a lot of it up to the ringing.
Four shots.
Jon and I discussed it last
night just before, you know.
It's nearly done.
We would've finished it last night,
but we had to quit because of union rules.
Hey, those are not my rules!
Yes but...
We can probably do it.
[Henry] "Probably"? I got a
lot at stake for fucking probably.
The lights are still
set up for the first shot.
We have the setups planned for the rest.
Yeah, call hasn't been
canceled. It's just delayed.
Our people are still here, you know.
We can set it for 2:00 this afternoon.
It should give us plenty of time.
[Henry] Okay. Yeah, but who's gonna direct?
I mean, it can't be too hard
'cause Dumbo was doing it.
But who's gonna do it?
-I will.
-What?
I know his style.
I know what he is gonna
do, what he's gonna say.
I'm assistant director.
It's part of my job to take
over in situations like this.
No, I'll do it. I'm more in charge.
Boss?
Yeah but, you are my main man
and besides, you don't know
what jackass had in mind.
He had everything planned out.
We'll just look at his notes.
[Julian] Where are the
notes? Do you have them?
He kept 'em on his phone.
"On his phone "?
Okay, I mortgaged my
yacht for this turd of a movie
and he kept his notes on his fucking phone?
It's the way he worked. He kept it on him.
You know, it was handy.
He's always making changes.
You know, notes, scripts, storyboards.
Jesus Christ. Where is this fucking phone?
He threw it at a light last night.
What?
-[Newby] It broke a bulb. $50.
[Julian] Yeah, he was
looking for it on set last night.
-Do we have it?
-I don't know.
We settled a few things,
finished our conversation,
I went...
Wait, I picked it up yesterday
after he threw it and I
gave it to you, Sydney.
That's right. It's in here somewhere.
Nope, I'll find it.
That's an ugly bag by the way.
I mean, it's company property,
-so let me go through it.
-No, it's not. It's mine.
My wife gave it to me for anniversary.
It's not ugly.
Here it is.
Give me this.
Oh great. It's got a passcode.
Okay, who's good with
these goddamned things?
Let me see it.
Nope, nope.
Oh, there.
Here, I'm in. 10:31.
[Liz] Cute. Look under his notes.
He kept them there
in order of scene numbers.
He was organized if nothing else,
[Sydney] Here they are. Scene 138.
-Give it to me.
-No.
Boss.
Okay Julian, you have this,
but you better not fuck it up
or the bitch is in charge.
Two o'clock call, folks.
[Henry claps]
Bill, stop, I'm married
and happy.
-But Ruthie. Don't...
[RH] Was... What the hell?
Whoa. Wait a minute.
You mother...
-[Bill] I'm out here.
Shit. Shit.
[Ruth] RH, put that away!
That's it. I'm outta here!
[RH] Not a chance. He's
getting what he deserves.
[Ruthie] No RH, It was nothing.
Well, it sure looked like something.
[sighs] It was nothing.
Bill just thinks we're back
shooting the original movie.
Well, he's gonna fade
away just like the original.
Calm down. Think for a minute.
Yeah, like the original,
shooting's too good for him.
-RH.
-This damn thing
doesn't work anyway.
[Ruth scoffs]
-[gun clatters]
[ominous music]
[Bo grunting]
-[Olivia choking]
[tools clattering]
[Olivia crying]
Please! No! No!
[Bo and Olivia screaming]
[Olivia whimpering]
[Bo screams]
-[axe thuds]
And that's a wrap.
Thank God.
Are you a religious man, Henry?
[exaggerated laughing] Fuck you.
Come on. You can buy me a drink.
Don't expect me to put out though.
[Henry] Get the fuck outta
here with you. Come on.
Oh, watch it. Lock this door.
I don't need any asshole
jerking off in here. Understand?

No name tag, no admission.
Employee of the month,
huh? Okay, here we go.
Welcome back, folks.
It's the host with the most, Zine,
editor and publisher of The
Gore Times, online edition,
and we are here at the
fabulous Oceanana Motel
in beautiful Atlantic
Beach, North Carolina.
We're fortunate to be attending
by special invitation only
at the wrap party/horror fest,
which you can see going on behind me,
celebrating the end of
the filming of the remake
of our favorite slasher, "The Mutilator".
That's right. I've talked about
"The Mutilator" many times
before. I first saw it
when I was in high school
and it has since become one
of my favorite eighties
independent horror slashers
of all time.
I was impressed that the film had heart.
It was a love letter to me personally.
And since its release in the 1980s,
it has become a very
talked about cult classic.
Buddy Cooper who directed the original,
also just a really awesome guy
who's there to help young people in film
with questions they might have
about writing, directing, or producing.
He's got an old school style,
but that original "Mutilator" flick
is still to this day, a blueprint
for many other indie horror slashers
that have tried to follow
in his bloody footsteps.
Another wonderful thing about
Buddy is he is always there
to shake a hand and
answer a question from a fan.
Now, of course, I'm talking
about the uncut version
of the "Mutilator," not the
one the MPAA stepped on,
but he had a sure shot hit on his hands
and the MPAA made him
cut out all the good bits.
Oh, sorry, it's a sensitive subject for me.
Let's just try and keep it positive, okay
and focus on the screen
values of those like
Ruth Martinez and Bill
Hitchcock, Jack Chatham,
the entire cast and crew,
the entire picture edit
team, sound edit team.
It's all of superb quality, okay?
I mean like Michael Minard's entire score
for the thing is incredible
as was the theme song,
which was made available on 45 RPM singles.
A potent noir, if I do say so myself.
A lot of great horror fans
out there would've sold their unborn child
for a chance to see a "Mutilator" remake
but I'm happy to say now
they can keep the baby.
Oh, I've been told by a confidential
yet reliable source that...
-No, not me.
That the remake is in the can.
So stay tuned. It'll be coming
soon to a theater near you.
"Mutilator 2" Look for it.
-[security guard] Whoa, whoa.
-Wha... Wha... What?
Oh, shut up, you.
[dramatic music]
[distant upbeat music]
[Julian] It's a list of all
acting crew members.
It includes their phone
number, motel room number,
home and email addresses.
Oh, it also includes their character names
or crew position.
[Joe groaning]
Name tag?
What's a gaffer?
Please, please, please, please.
Whoa. Is this the original
one from Mutilator One?
[Sandy] Yep, the very same one.[Laughs]
It's a little heavier for me.
-Let me see that.
-Whoa, no, no. Girls, please.
-That is it, isn't it?
-This is sharp.
This is sharp.
Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, girls.
-Take my picture.
-Wait, please, please!
[RH] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
If this keeps somebody's
really gonna get hurt.
-[Bill] Oops.
-[RH] Or worse.
[Bill] Sorry, RH.
[Jack] How about the ax?
You have my battle ax?
No, sadly, someone stole it.
I mean, how can that happen? How?
[scoffs] I don't know.
We think that someone
from the original shoot
just made off with it.
We had to get a different one.
Damn. Some people, huh?
I know, right?
[upbeat music continues]
[Jason] Hey, hey, hey man.
How... How's that leg?
This leg? It's great.
Stainless steel, carbon fiber,
spring loaded piston and
naturally formed ankle.
It's the best leg you can
buy with taxpayer dollars.
I'm sorry about that.
Everybody's here. Where's Liz?
I don't know. She's here somewhere.
Look, let's just find her, grab some IPAs
and have a little private party.
[Iza laughs]
[Iza] Oh, I see her right there.
Show us that bad look, Mr. Chatham.
"Bad look"?
Hey, you! [Laughs]
Yeah, just call me Big Ed, all right?
[Party goer] You're still
the best bad guy ever.
Yeah, I still got it, don't I?
[camera snaps]
[Theodore] Whoa. What
party are you going to?
Just thought I'd take a nighttime dip.
You feel like having a companion tag along?
No.
[Theodore] For safety, I mean.
I know. I think I'll be okay.
I almost made the Olympic swim team.
Yeah, what was your stroke?
Uh...
-It's all in the wrist, right?
[ominous music]
[Bo] Here we go.
[Bleck] Hey man.
[no audible dialog]
Oh my God. I'm all tipsy.
[Liz] Listen guys, how
can you tell if a period...
How are you supposed
to tell if a period's in italics?
If you ever had a wet
dream and not remember it?
Like what even are italics anyhow?
Come on. We wanna have a private party.
-Yeah.
-Come with us.
[Patrice] No thanks, I'll stay.
I've got my eye on something.
[upbeat music]
Something? [Bleck chuckling]
-Hey.
-Hush.
-Nice talking with you.
-See you.
Two is a crowd.
-[Bleck] What's up, man?
-What's up, dude?
[lighter clicking]
Hit?
Oops, I forgot.
Hey there, Marilyn.
Would you like to be on
my show, The Gore Times?
I have a YouTube channel.
You've probably heard of it.
Oh, I'm a friend of Henry's.
Come on, Henry.
So how'd you do that thing at the end
where they cut you in half?
Well, there's nothing to it.
They just glued me back together. [Laughs]
And when was the last time
you saw the director alive?
I dunno. On the set
when he blew a circuit.
Yeah, he was very much alive then.
Did you get along with him?
Well, I didn't have to
deal with him directly,
which was good for me
because that guy could
be a real pain in the ass.
Yeah, sure. Who did you deal with?
Uh, the DP.
Okay.
What's a DP?
Director of photography.
Am I a suspect?
Everybody's a suspect.
Uh... Would you keep
information confidential
like when someone tells you shit?
I work with confidential
informants all the time
and I protect their identity.
What do you got?
You can't use my name.
You can't say where it came from.
Well, if we have to go to
court you may have to testify.
Ah, okay. Never mind.
Well, if you withhold information,
thereby hindering a
formal police investigation,
you're committing a
crime, a felony in fact,
if you wanna go to jail.
Yeah, but man, it's nothing.
You're asking for trouble.
Look, it's just my opinion, man.
It's nothing like real evidence.
Spill it.
You know who really hated Jon?
Henry, the producer.
They were constantly fighting, okay?
He told Jon that he'd
never worked for him again.
Henry. Okay.
I want to talk to Henry. Where is he?
[McNutt] Trench coat.
[pats shoulder]
Okay.
All right, we are here
now with the one and only.
Buddy Cooper, director of Mutilators One.
Oh Buddy, you are accredited
as executive producer
on this film.
Tell us what exactly is it that you do
as an executive producer.
Nothing.
As executive producer on this picture,
I do absolutely nothing.
It's great.
Um. Okay, well, tell us, Buddy, um,
is there any particular thing
from the original "Mutilator"
that you like better than in the remake?
Oh yeah.
On the original "Mutilator,"
the director did not
get murdered, I like that.
Toke.
No, thanks.
Hey, excuse me.
Buddy Cooper, everybody.
[upbeat music]
Well, if it moves or
bleeds, wiggles or winks,
walks or talks, then it's special effects
but if it doesn't do anything,
if it just lies there, then it's props.
You get it?
Yeah, I get it. I'm married to a prop.
You think the white bits in
oranges are good for you?
I don't think they're good for you.
The white bits?
Oranges.
[horn honks]
Do you like this line of work?
It's what some people do that don't drink.
Maybe that's why I drink. [Giggles]
They gave me those tests in high school.
The test that tell you
what you're best suited for.
Mine all kept coming up "forest ranger".
Really?
Mm-hm. All these years
I've wondered, day and night,
what's so great about
being a forest ranger?
There's nobody there.
Weirdo.
It's been a long time
since the movie was made,
but you are still a very good looking man.
[Jack] Well, thank you very
much. You look good too.
I'm flattered.
Are you married?
No, I'm not married. I'm available.
Well?
Well?
Would you like to come up
to my room for a night cap?
Not right now.
It might be a little obvious
if we both leave the party
at the same time, don't you think?
[Ann giggling]
What if I give you a call later?
I'll be counting on it.
I'll be calling you... definitely.
[ominous music]
Frozen 3 Musketeers
bar dipped in melted butter.
Nah, Breyers vanilla ice
cream with maple syrup.
Mm, You win.
[imitates munching]
[McNutt] You can relax.
Henry's not here anymore.
[both chuckling]
Hey, has that guy
talked to you yet, the cop?
Hmm.
That guy's name is
Columbo. You believe that?
Yeah, I told him Henry's a nobody.
Just somebody's messenger boy.
No real power, just a real asshole.
Damn. I told him that
Henry probably killed Jon.
-No, you didn't.
-Yes I did.
[both laughing]
-I love it.
-Shoot it.
Whoop.
Cheers.
[both coughing]
Goddamn, that's sweet.
Am I handsome yet or what?
-I think I need another one.
-I'll be right back.
[laughing]
Hey Ed, how about running my death scene
from the first "Mutilator" movie for me?
You know the real one, the
way it's supposed to be done.
Again? Why don't you just get a copy?
Um. No money?
Why don't you just ask Buddy for one
and then you can watch it anytime you want?
Ed, I promise you, this
will be the very last time
that I ask you.
All right, gimme a few
minutes and then come around.
Mr. Jack Chatham, Big Ed himself.
Oh my goodness, I'm so nervous.
Please don't kill me. Just kidding.
But speaking of which,
why do you think that Big
Ed killed all those people
in the original "Mutilator"
when he was only after his son?
It doesn't seem to make
much sense if you think about it.
That's a good question.
Are we on TV? Is that what that is?
Right there.
That's nice. That's nice.
See, when I put myself
into the Big Ed character,
I found that I really became Big Ed
and it felt like once I
started killing people,
I discovered that I really liked it.
You could say I was hooked.
[chuckling]
So I just wanted to keep on killing,
and killing... and killing.
Killing all those people was
the most fun I've ever had.
[suspenseful music]
[door knob beeps]
[door thuds]
[suspenseful music continues]
[phone beeps]
[suspenseful music fades]
Hey Ed, are you ready?
I've come to see it and I've
also brought you a souvenir.
All right, hot shot. This is the last time.
I got plenty of other
things to do than deal
with egocentric assholes.
Yeah, I saw you talking to her earlier
but I have come to watch my
most breathtaking performance.
I should have been nominated.
Okay, right.
It's all queued up. Have a seat.
You gonna watch it with me?
Ooh, do you have any popcorn?
Nah, I'm gonna head back to the party.
Pull the door shut. It locks automatically.
See you on the red carpet, hot shot.
Hey, what's up?
[Bill] All right, here we
go. Walking in the dark.
[laughing]
And what do you find first?
There you go, the pyramid sinker
and what do you find second?
Come on.
Well, no wonder. Woo-hoo.
Falling asleep, huh?
Hee-hee-hee.
Oh yeah, go ahead.
Batter batter batter batter batter batter.
Swing, batter!
Boom. Now he's awake.
Right.
And the great singing debut.
[Bill humming]
Something like that.
Ta-dum!
Not yet, huh?
Look, I gotta lock up
'cause I got something to see upstairs.
[laughing]
Oh, Ed, you're just in
time for the big finish.
[ominous music]
Yeah, brilliant idea number three or four.
Well, I'm really gonna hate to do this one.
All right, and make sure
you're okay for the night.
Do it. Do it. Do it!
Even I couldn't do that. [Laughs]
[ominous music]
-[onscreen Bill screaming]
[ominous music continues]
[Bill laughing] Oh my, no!
[Bill sputtering]
[tense music]
[tense music continues]
[upbeat music]
So you like the way your lips turned out?
[Zine] Hey, you work
on the picture, don't you?
Uh. Yes, I do.
Oh, can I get a few words for the fans?
I would love to say hello
to the fans of the movie,
but I am on my way somewhere right now.
Maybe later.
I'll keep an eye out for you.
Okay. See you.
Bye.
Keep an eye out for you? Idiot.
You're Gore Times.
Oh! Alive and in the flesh.
I'm a big fan.
Really?
Your YouTube link is
on my bookmarks toolbar.
Really?
Yes, I love that you use
background and philosophy.
Awesome.
Yes, like use what you've learned
and not what they've taught you.
I can't believe you remember that.
And never let pride get
in the way of happiness.
You are awesome!
I remember almost everything you say.
Can I like buy you a drink or something?
-I don't drink.
-[Laughing] Water?
Sure.
Perfect. I also drink water.
We have so much in common.
[distant traffic humming]
[tense music]
[waiter] Just so you know,
I'll be closing up soon, ma'am.
[Ann] How will I get off?
That button right there will open the gate
from the inside but, uh,
just watch your step.
We'll be turning the
lights off in a few minutes.
Okay, I will. Goodnight. Thanks.
Night.

I like surprises.
[Big Ed] Something nice for you,

Oh, goodie. [Giggles]

Please do.

[Sandy giggling]
Follow me, maestro.
There's too many people here.
Let's make it two fewer.
Oh, hey, no, you...
You didn't bring your glue right?
Maybe.
Seriously though, you didn't, right?
[ominous music]
[Bleck panting]
[Bleck screaming]
[Liz] Yeah, you're not gonna
put that off on me, are you?
[Bleck] Yeah. I mean, no, not yet.
You don't think we're
serious about that, do you?
Come on. No.
[Liz and Bleck laughing]
You might loosen them up if you hit that.
No, it's okay.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Here you go.
[Bo coughs]
-[all laugh]
It's not too bad.
You gonna be alright?
[Bo] Yeah, I'll be fine.
Um, do you know, why, uh
uh why there are Pop-Tarts,
but not Mom-Tarts?
Not exactly.
'Cause of the pastriarchy.
[both laugh]
It's the stupidest damn
joke I've ever heard.
How about right here?
[Sandy] Yeah, I like it.
Here, my lady.
Squeeze a cheek though.
Let me on this bad boy.
[McNutt groans]
-There's plenty of space.
Woo!
You ever seen it this hippy out here?
Oh, look at the stars.
[McNutt] I don't see any stars.
[Sandy laughs]
[subtle waves crashing]
[Sandy laughs]
You're good at that like
you've done it before.
[McNutt] I've thought about it.
Yes.

[flesh squelches]

Wait a minute.

You gotta send that to me.
-Beautiful.

No freaking way.

Oh, nothing.
Come on now. What are you doing?

Let me look at the camera.
Oh? Oh, okay.
But I really didn't see anything.
How... How do I do this?
You just look through there.
It's called a viewfinder.
I don't see anything. It's all black.
-Oh?
-My favorite color.
[both chuckle]
-My bad. I'm sorry.
Alright, now look. Um...
I didn't see anything really,
but what do you see?
Nothing really, just the
end of the fishing pier.
See, I told you.
Here, you know what? Let me see.

Everybody.
[dramatic music]
[Zine] Let's go.
I'm coming to you live now
from the wonderful Oceanana Motel
in beautiful Atlanta Beach, North Carolina
with some breaking news,
a Gore Times exclusive.
Actor, Bill Hitchcock has just
apparently been murdered.
Mr. Hitchcock's deceased body
was found in the same manner
with the same implement
of death that was used to kill
Mr. Hitchcock's character
in the 1980s cult classic
film, "the Mutilator,"
the remake of which was being made here.
We are all just wondering
who could have done this terrible deed.
[camera beeps]
It wasn't me. I liked Bill.
[camera beeps] -Of course, it wasn't me.
Get that camera outta my...
-It wasn't us.
-It wasn't us.
Jinx. This is The Gore
Times signing off for now.
[camera beeps]
[Ruthie sobs]
No.
[camera beeps]
[RH chuckling]
[camera beeps]
-It wasn't me.
[fabric tearing]
[whoosh]
It was Big Ed. [Laughs]
I'm telling you it wasn't me.
[Joe] Okay.
It was Big Ed.
[Joe] I'm sure it was. Let's go.

I don't know, I'm scared.
Something's wrong.
[Ed Jr.] Girls, just calm down.
No, Mike and Linda have never come back.
Ralph went to go look for
them and now he's gone too.
Help me find him.
-[Ed Jr.] Alright, alright.
-We'll find him.
Yeah, we'll look around down here.
You go upstairs
and get dressed.
-Okay.
I'm not leaving without Ralph.
Just gonna drive over
to the sheriff's department
-on the main road.
-We'll be right back with help.
-I'm not leaving!
-[Pam] You've got to come!
Let's take one last look around.
We'll be right back.
One last look?
One last look?
Alright.
Okay, you two go around
that side and I'll go this way.
Uh-uh, Buddy, I'm sticking with you.
Why don't you two go around this side
and I'll go around that side?
-[Pam] Make it fast.
-Okay.

[Jon] Cut! Cut!
[phone continues ringing]
I thought I said, "no phones on my set"!
[phone continues ringing]
Who in the hell has a goddamn
phone ringing on my set?
What?
Goddammit!
I thought I told you to never ever call me
when I'm fucking working!
Bitch![Glass shatters]
Flashing.[Camera clicks]
Goddammit! Delete that.
Get off my set.
Okay, first positions.
Sydney, tell Shastrom and Ferrell,
"we're gonna do the poke gag next".
[Newby] Watch the barn
doors. Don't cut yourself.
[McNutt] Yeah, man, I've done this before.
[Newby] All right.
[Julian] Can't be done,
bro. The day is over.
What?
Union rules, boss.
It's triple time now. It's the golden time.
It's just one more shot.
It won't take but a bit.
You can shoot it if you want
to, but it's just gonna cost more.
Three times as much, plus
we get additional turnaround
and an extra meal.
Goddammit! It's just one more shot.
Let's put it up to the crew for a vote.
Sorry, it can't be done. Union rules.
Just one more shot, Julian.
I've seen your notes, bro,
there's like three more setups.
That would probably take
like four hours with shooting.
That's half a day. We're
already 14 hours into this day.
No can do.
Come on, bro. We can finish
this thing and wrap tonight.
Can't be done, bro.
Besides, the wrap party and
the horror fest are scheduled
for tomorrow night.
-Horror fans are gonna be here.
-[Jon groaning]
-[Newby] Mind the doors.
-[McNutt] Right.
You'll pay for this.
Sydney, tell Shastrom and Ferrell,
we're not gonna do the poke gag today.
We'll do them tomorrow
morning, first thing.
That's it for today, everybody. Thank you.
Be here tomorrow, 10:00 AM sharp.
You can leave anything here you want.
It's a hot set. We have security.
But a 10:00 AM call
tomorrow? All that daylight again.
We'll just close the doors again.
Newby can handle it again, no sweat.
Not tomorrow. Tomorrow's Saturday.
Not a work day, unless you
wanna pay time and a half.
-Goddammit!
-Hey, it beats triple time.
You and me need to talk.
10:00 tomorrow?
Okay, folks, that's it for
today. Call tomorrow, 10:00 A.
-[Newby] Mind the doors.
-[McNutt] Right.
[Bo] Olivia, I'm strangling you.
Like, my hand is against your neck.
Like, how could you
ever think you can speak?
Yeah, but I still think
I should have a line.
And I mean, why do I
have to wear this stupid wig?
'Cause your hair looks nothing like hers.
Yeah, but it's a remake.
I'm not supposed to
even look exactly like her.
[crew member] I'll take that.
[Sandy] And I'll take that.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
Anything else?
-[Sandy] That's it.
-I'll see you at the shop.
[Sandy] Fo' sho.
She should totally have a line.
[McNutt gargling]
Henry has been looking for you.
Ugh, that douche-nozzle?
I've been dodging him this whole shoot.
He just wants the vag.
I can't say I blame him.
[laughs] Shut up, McNutt!
You know what? I don't even
know why I keep hiring you.
Because you told Mom you'd look after me.
Yeah. Worst fucking mistake of my life.
Next to getting into the movie industry.
Jon, you okay?
Never been better. You?
[Ruthie] Ugh.
[RH] The condo at the beach,
it's changed since you were here before?
[Ruthie] It was just a
movie, but it brings bad vibes.
[ominous music]
[RH] Yeah, we're gonna have a good time.
[Ruthie] Even if it kills us.
[RH] Hey, you know what? Lets go check in.
[Ruthie] Why did you buy this stupid car?
Because it's cool.
[Ruthie] Well, it won't start.
Try putting your foot on the brake.
-There you go. [Chuckles]
-[car engine rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
[Jack] Hi, how are you?
Pardon me for asking,
are you the killer from
the last movie they made?
Yes, Big Ed.
I thought so.
Maybe you won't be doing
any killings this weekend.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Never mind. My killing days are behind me.
So you're safe,
for a while maybe. [Laughs]
[clerk] Thank you. I'll
pass the word around.
-Keys. You have some keys.
-[Clerk] Keys.
-Thank you.
-[Clerk] Here are your keys.
Don't forget your bag.
Your name tag is in this bag.
You'll need to wear it to the party.
Ah. Okay.
- Ah! Hello.
- Hi!
It's really you!
Hi Jack. Kill anyone lately?
You know, I was just telling
this lovely young lady here
that my killing days...
[exhales] are behind me.
It's Mr and Mrs RH Martinez.
I recognize you from the
last movie. Welcome back.
Yes, it's good to see you.
We're so glad to have
been invited to the party.
Hey, do you remember
which room I had the last time?
No, I don't. Um...
I just remember it was pretty
far away from everyone else's.
[all laugh]
Yes, they tried to keep me
away from everyone else
to preserve my character's
reputation as the good girl.
-Yeah.
-No partying for me.
Well, how did that work for you?
[Ruth chuckles]
[Jack] I'll see you two outside.
Oh, keys.
-Thank you.
-[Clerk] Don't forget your bags.
[Clerk] Here are some name tags in there.
You need to wear them to the party.
Very good. Thanks so much.
Hey Jack. How you doing, sir?
[Jack] I'm fine.
Good seeing you again.
Good to see you.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
-Yeah.
-And speaking of which...
Jack?
[Jack] Sweetie.
[laughs] It's so good to see you.
It's good to see you, guys.
Good to see you.
How have you been?
I've been well, Ruthie.
How long has it been?
Too long, friend. Too long.
That's what Buddy said.
[Jack and Ruth laugh]
Can you believe these el cheapo swag bags?
[Ruth chuckling] Oh, Bill, they're okay.
Look, a t-shirt.
Yeah.
Oh, Ruthie, Did you get your old room back?
It was 216, right?
I don't remember.
Uh-huh? I do. It was room 216, all right.
I don't remember my room number either,
but I don't remember a
lot of things nowadays.
[Jack and Ruth laughing]
-Hey Bill.
-[Bill] Yeah?
You know what my favorite
kill was in "The Mutilator?"
Hmm.
That was when I grabbed
you by the throat with a
thumb and finger! [Bill groans]
Man!
I always wanted to do that.
Just one more take. Just one more.
[Jack laughing]
Oh, I'm gonna go get settled in.
See you later.
[Bill] Yeah, see you later.
[creepy music]
There's something I don't
like about Bill. He's so smug.
I can't quite put my finger on it,
just like he knows
something that we don't know.
I hardly knew him.
[dramatic music]
[Sandy] You are one ugly motherfucker.
Hey, Sandy girl.
[Sandy] Henry! Great.
[Henry] I'm not bothering you, am I?
Not at all, just gluing some stuff on.
I've been looking for
you all over the place.
Well, these slashers keep the
prop department pretty busy.
[Henry] That's good. That's good, sweetie.
Look, listen, I'm dying
to ask you this question.
[Sandy] What's that?
Well, it's kind of,
I don't know how to say this.
It's weird. It's uh...
Just go ahead.
[Henry sighs] Listen, doll face,
I might embarrass you, okay,
when I say this, so...
[Sandy] I'm a big girl, so out with it.
Hey, wait, is this the first movie
that you've been working with me on?
Yep.
[Henry] Listen, I've heard nothing
but good things about you.
That's great.
You are going to be working
with me very soon again.
I'm telling you.
Well, thank you.
I am often available, sometimes too often.
Listen, I can do something about that.
[Sandy] That'd be great.
I still don't know how to put this.
Spit it out.
Okay, when a man
and a woman wanna get together
and do a certain thing
in the situations that are
in a way, you know, it just...
They gotta get inventive. You understand?
Yeah, inventive? Um, not exactly.
When they wanna get intimate,
non intimate ways, you know?
Not really. I don't know.
They wanna do it, but
they don't, you know...
[Sandy] Henry? Henry, are
you hinting at some head?
[Henry] I heard you a suck
a mean dick. Is that true?
Um, where did you hear that?
[Henry] I can't reveal my sources,
but if it's true, hey, why
don't we find out, okay?
Look, I can help you with
your career, eh? Come on.
If you insist.
No, I can't insist. It
all has to be voluntary.
Step here in case somebody walks in.
I like how you think.
[Sandy] Okay, take the little guy out.
[Henry] Oh, he's not little.
[Sandy] Are you ready?
Oh, I see that you are
not a shower or a grower.
[Henry] What?
[Sandy] Just stick it through the curtain.
I don't like being watched.
You ever wonder what
deep throat is all about?
Oh, you're so big. You're
gonna have to push real hard.
[Henry] Well, I could do that.
Okay, push now.
[Henry moaning]
That's good, baby.
Oh, you keep that up.
[imitates fellatio]
Oh yeah. I like a little fur
down there from time to time.
[imitates fellatio]
What's up, dude?
Nothing much. Just giving Henry some head.
Uh? Come again.[Sandy laughs]
Excellent choice of words.
[imitates fellatio]
[Henry] What the fuck?!
[Sandy chuckles]
What the fuck? [Screams]
Easy. It's glued on there.
It might take some meat with it.
It might take the whole thing off
and that would require
stitches, lots of painful stitches.
Many.
How do I get this goddamned thing off me?
Uh, well, you could use
an acetone or a solvent,
um, some nail polish remover or alcohol.
Machete.
But any of those would
probably burn like hell.
You could try to whittle it off.
Oh, but you wanna be
careful with that knife.
Yeah, that prop cost you a lot of money.
Try not to damage it. Oh,
plus we may need it again.
[Henry] And then what, bitch?
A cold shower?
Oh? Cold shower.
You are never working for me again.
What the fuck are you looking at?
[dramatic music]
[Henry muttering]
Hey, back it off. Oh, shit.
I had an accident. I'm sorry.
He's gonna have to live with that?
Nah, if he'd take a bath
with soap and water,
it would wash right off.
On skin, that glue
deteriorates in 36 hours.
He'll wake up day after tomorrow
and it'll come right off, so to speak.
Have you hummed a kazoo lately?
McNutt, I swear.
Wait, you never seen one of these up close?
You know, I never really understood
how to play those things.
Oh, I guess Henry got some bad intel.
-Just shut up, asshole.
-As long as you put
the big end in your mouth and then you hum.
[flute toots]
You are weirdly good at that.
Oh, thank you. I got you one.
Oh, thank you.
[flute toots]
How is he supposed to pee?
[Sandy laughs] Henry? Oh shit.
[McNutt] Oh my god.
[kazoo tooting]
[both kazoos tooting]
You need to quit hampering the shoot.
My job is to look out for
the crew, not the shoot.
I'm not intentionally hampering anything.
I'm just doing my job.
[Jon] Well, lighten up!
Me lighten...? You lighten up!
Look, you've been working that crew
for 14 hours a day for five
days now. They're tired.
But they're professionals
so they keep giving.
You need to give them a
short day and a pat on the back.
Yeah, I know. You're right.
I just wanna get this thing
in the can and move on.
It's been a pain in the ass.
They sent us the wrong lenses,
the hard drives have all failed.
Even the special effects
gags haven't worked
and the crew laughs at the fucking dailies.
This is a goddamn horror
movie, not a comedy.
What are we looking for?
My phone.
We're over budget, behind schedule.
So what else is new?
But I understand.
-Um, the one you threw?
-Mm-hmm.
I'll talk to the crew.
Tomorrow's the last day.
You only have that one scene left to film.
Why don't you give 'em a short day?
Call it a 10 hour day
and put it in the can.
The crew appreciates the tip
and the wrap party would be fun
and everyone will feel good about the shoot
and about having worked with you.
Maybe some of them may
want to work with you again
if the money's good.
Look bro, I'm sorry I popped
off at you the other day.
From now on, we'll do it your way, okay?
Union rules and everything.
[Julian] You know I love you, man.
Asshole.
[ominous music]
Who's there?
Hey, what's up?
[Jon screams]
[blood sputtering]
[ominous music continues]
[chuckling]
[fire extinguisher hisses]
[Julian] Oh, what the... Oh!
We're damn lucky that this
guy didn't destroy the set.
I'll tell you that,
because that would ruin
my day if that happened.
Is that right? Is that right, man.
[indistinct] Can you fix that or what?
Yes, sir. We can get it back up in no time.
All right. Hey, man.
All right, I gotta get
outta here. I'm outta here.
Julian, hey, how you doing?
Listen, take over for me. Okay?
Cover for me, please.
Just keep my name out of
this, you know what I mean?
But keep me posted,
all right? See you later.
[security guard] That's
right. At the Oceanana Motel.
Send a black and white and an EMS.
Copy that.
Don't you guys have a safety officer
or somebody here on set?
Who's supposed to be keeping
an eye on everybody's safety?
He is.
[dramatic music]
[Joe] Detective Joe Colombo, ABPD.
Columbo, really?[Joe laughs]
Yeah, big funny.
I'm cooler than Falk, but I don't smoke.
One of the remaining few.
[radio chattering]
[Joe] This belonged to the victim?
[Julian] Hard to say. There
were a few going around.
Every cast and crew member got one.
Might be the victim's.
[Julian] It could be.
Might not be the victim's.
So how could an accident like this happen?
There was no accident.
That light was bagged. It
wouldn't have just fallen over.
[Joe] You think it was pushed?
My brother knew his way around the set.
He didn't trip on it.
Yeah. Yeah, I think someone pushed it.
Has anybody been on the set recently?
Everyone's been on it for days.
Bag it.
Are you in charge here, Mister...?
Hill. Only temporarily.
Who's the head cheese then?
Henry, the producer is in charge.
[Joe] I need to talk to him. Where is he?
You just missed him. He had to leave.
He's not available right now.
I'm in charge for now.
The headman is here or he can't see me?
[Julian] He asked me to talk to you.
A man is dead. He doesn't
wanna talk to the police?
[Julian] He wants to talk to you.
He is just, uh, indisposed
at the moment, sir.
I really can't say more than...
I... I am authorized to speak for him.
Okay. I need to talk to
everyone that works here.
So get me a list of names
and let's start with your, uh,
Mr. Producer.
Actually, sir, most of
the people are sleeping.
Wake 'em up.
Some have left for the night.
They'll be back tomorrow.
We'll start with the people
who are here. Wake 'em up.
May I suggest an alternative?
No.
What?
Tomorrow's the last day of shooting.
We need to finish this movie.
It's already gonna be
problematic enough with Jon dead
if we can finish it all.
It would just make things
worse if you got everyone excited.
There appears to have been a murder here.
I need to talk to your people one-on-one.
So who was the first on the scene?
I understand. Security guy was first.
But listen,
tomorrow after the last
shot is the wrap party.
Everyone will be here.
Come and mingle with the crowd
and figure out who you want to talk to
and talk to them then.
Yeah, I don't like it. It's too informal.
I will give you a complete
list of the cast and crew.
Everyone will be relaxed.
The job will be over.
There's pressure off.
Actually, they would've been drinking
so there'll be loose lips,
if you know what I mean.
When does the party start?
[Julian] Around 8:00.
Maybe a little earlier for
those who aren't needed on set.
[Joe] It's not how I
operate, but I'll do it
and I'll be the life
or maybe the death of your party.
Where's the security
guard? I'll talk to him now.
He's over there.
[radio chattering]
[RH] Hey, save my seat,
please. I'll be right back.
[Bill] Good morning.
Hey Bill.
Ruthie, I would like to introduce you
to my new friend, Ann.
Hey Ruthie.
[Ruth] Hello, Ann. Are you on the shoot?
[Ann] I'm a PA, but
not on call this morning.
I am. My name's Jack Chatham.
Big Ed in the original.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Well, thank you very much.
Ugh. Hi, RH.
Hey, what's this?
You take my seat? Drink my coffee?
What's next?
[Bill chuckles] Well, if
Ruthie's not too busy.
[loud smacking]
-Oh man!
Well, lucky for you, I don't like bacon.
[RH] Yeah, right. Move.
[Bill sighs]
-[Ann] Sit here.
Everything all right at this table?
[Ruth] Everything's fine.
We are just recreating a
moment from the movie.
Say, aren't ya'all the
folks from that movie
that was made here?
Yep, these three were in the cast.
Well, I'll be!
The principal actors.
We're glad to have y'all back.
Breakfast on the house today.
Whoa, why thank you, my kind sir
and would you happen to
have any steaks on the menu?
[chuckles] You kidder. Enjoy your meal.
I... I wasn't kidding.
Well, now you are.
Here's my number, y'all.
Send me yours so we can stay in touch.
[Bill] Ann has been working
very hard on this motion picture
and she thinks that she
has a career in the industry.
And speaking of which,
what in the heck have all
y'all been doing the past,
I don't know, 35 years or so?
[laughs] Well, I gave up full-time teaching
to direct and perform more.
I work all the time now.
Yeah, I'm a singer-songwriter.
As a matter of fact, I just
got back from Nashville
where I was recording an album.
So who have you been
bothering all these years?
[Bill laughs]
Ah, funny!
Listen, I have been in real estate
and I have done quite well.
Thank you very much.
Is everyone excited
about the party tonight?
Two days of R&R at the beach?
Well, at first I didn't think
this was gonna be very much fun,
but now that I'm here,
I'm beginning to see the possibilities.
The cast and crew eat
here. I wonder where they are.
[Bill] Well, praise the Lord.
[Ann] Maybe they're in church?
On a Saturday?
[ethereal music]
My sister-in-law would tell you
that my brother was a special man,
a great human being, a miracle worker.
He turned many second rate screenplays
into great motion pictures
and yet he was never awarded an Oscar.
All the guy did was make shit.
Profitable shit but it was shit.
No one was ever watching that.
I'm gonna miss him.
Pfft.
He liked show business.
He was the most beautiful
person in the whole world.
And he may have seemed
like a self-important person,
like an overbearing person,
but really, he was just insecure,
and full of self-doubt.
He was universally loved.
A fabulous friend and a wonderful leader.
The things he cared about; Life, love,
kindness to others, gentility...
Mom, apple pie...
[Julian] He was a good man.
A humanitarian, a sweet soul.
He was an asshole.
Now, [grunts]
how are we going to finish this thing
without fuckwad?
He was slow as shit and behind schedule.
We'll just finish it. It's basically done.
We can use that last take,
lose the sound of Jon's phone ringing,
but we can do it.
Just one last scene.
It's important to us to finish it too.
It'll look bad on our
resumes if we don't finish.
People will think we're jinxed.
No, it has to be reshot.
The talent reacted to
the ringing in the phone.
Okay, well up to the ringing then.
Ed, you saw it? Can we use any of it?
Yeah, I mean, I can use
a lot of it up to the ringing.
Four shots.
Jon and I discussed it last
night just before, you know.
It's nearly done.
We would've finished it last night,
but we had to quit because of union rules.
Hey, those are not my rules!
Yes but...
We can probably do it.
[Henry] "Probably"? I got a
lot at stake for fucking probably.
The lights are still
set up for the first shot.
We have the setups planned for the rest.
Yeah, call hasn't been
canceled. It's just delayed.
Our people are still here, you know.
We can set it for 2:00 this afternoon.
It should give us plenty of time.
[Henry] Okay. Yeah, but who's gonna direct?
I mean, it can't be too hard
'cause Dumbo was doing it.
But who's gonna do it?
-I will.
-What?
I know his style.
I know what he is gonna
do, what he's gonna say.
I'm assistant director.
It's part of my job to take
over in situations like this.
No, I'll do it. I'm more in charge.
Boss?
Yeah but, you are my main man
and besides, you don't know
what jackass had in mind.
He had everything planned out.
We'll just look at his notes.
[Julian] Where are the
notes? Do you have them?
He kept 'em on his phone.
"On his phone "?
Okay, I mortgaged my
yacht for this turd of a movie
and he kept his notes on his fucking phone?
It's the way he worked. He kept it on him.
You know, it was handy.
He's always making changes.
You know, notes, scripts, storyboards.
Jesus Christ. Where is this fucking phone?
He threw it at a light last night.
What?
-[Newby] It broke a bulb. $50.
[Julian] Yeah, he was
looking for it on set last night.
-Do we have it?
-I don't know.
We settled a few things,
finished our conversation,
I went...
Wait, I picked it up yesterday
after he threw it and I
gave it to you, Sydney.
That's right. It's in here somewhere.
Nope, I'll find it.
That's an ugly bag by the way.
I mean, it's company property,
-so let me go through it.
-No, it's not. It's mine.
My wife gave it to me for anniversary.
It's not ugly.
Here it is.
Give me this.
Oh great. It's got a passcode.
Okay, who's good with
these goddamned things?
Let me see it.
Nope, nope.
Oh, there.
Here, I'm in. 10:31.
[Liz] Cute. Look under his notes.
He kept them there
in order of scene numbers.
He was organized if nothing else,
[Sydney] Here they are. Scene 138.
-Give it to me.
-No.
Boss.
Okay Julian, you have this,
but you better not fuck it up
or the bitch is in charge.
Two o'clock call, folks.
[Henry claps]
Bill, stop, I'm married
and happy.
-But Ruthie. Don't...
[RH] Was... What the hell?
Whoa. Wait a minute.
You mother...
-[Bill] I'm out here.
Shit. Shit.
[Ruth] RH, put that away!
That's it. I'm outta here!
[RH] Not a chance. He's
getting what he deserves.
[Ruthie] No RH, It was nothing.
Well, it sure looked like something.
[sighs] It was nothing.
Bill just thinks we're back
shooting the original movie.
Well, he's gonna fade
away just like the original.
Calm down. Think for a minute.
Yeah, like the original,
shooting's too good for him.
-RH.
-This damn thing
doesn't work anyway.
[Ruth scoffs]
-[gun clatters]
[ominous music]
[Bo grunting]
-[Olivia choking]
[tools clattering]
[Olivia crying]
Please! No! No!
[Bo and Olivia screaming]
[Olivia whimpering]
[Bo screams]
-[axe thuds]
And that's a wrap.
Thank God.
Are you a religious man, Henry?
[exaggerated laughing] Fuck you.
Come on. You can buy me a drink.
Don't expect me to put out though.
[Henry] Get the fuck outta
here with you. Come on.
Oh, watch it. Lock this door.
I don't need any asshole
jerking off in here. Understand?
[Ed] It locks automatically.
[upbeat music]
[people chattering]
No name tag, no admission.
Employee of the month,
huh? Okay, here we go.
Welcome back, folks.
It's the host with the most, Zine,
editor and publisher of The
Gore Times, online edition,
and we are here at the
fabulous Oceanana Motel
in beautiful Atlantic
Beach, North Carolina.
We're fortunate to be attending
by special invitation only
at the wrap party/horror fest,
which you can see going on behind me,
celebrating the end of
the filming of the remake
of our favorite slasher, "The Mutilator".
That's right. I've talked about
"The Mutilator" many times
before. I first saw it
when I was in high school
and it has since become one
of my favorite eighties
independent horror slashers
of all time.
I was impressed that the film had heart.
It was a love letter to me personally.
And since its release in the 1980s,
it has become a very
talked about cult classic.
Buddy Cooper who directed the original,
also just a really awesome guy
who's there to help young people in film
with questions they might have
about writing, directing, or producing.
He's got an old school style,
but that original "Mutilator" flick
is still to this day, a blueprint
for many other indie horror slashers
that have tried to follow
in his bloody footsteps.
Another wonderful thing about
Buddy is he is always there
to shake a hand and
answer a question from a fan.
Now, of course, I'm talking
about the uncut version
of the "Mutilator," not the
one the MPAA stepped on,
but he had a sure shot hit on his hands
and the MPAA made him
cut out all the good bits.
Oh, sorry, it's a sensitive subject for me.
Let's just try and keep it positive, okay
and focus on the screen
values of those like
Ruth Martinez and Bill
Hitchcock, Jack Chatham,
the entire cast and crew,
the entire picture edit
team, sound edit team.
It's all of superb quality, okay?
I mean like Michael Minard's entire score
for the thing is incredible
as was the theme song,
which was made available on 45 RPM singles.
A potent noir, if I do say so myself.
A lot of great horror fans
out there would've sold their unborn child
for a chance to see a "Mutilator" remake
but I'm happy to say now
they can keep the baby.
Oh, I've been told by a confidential
yet reliable source that...
-No, not me.
That the remake is in the can.
So stay tuned. It'll be coming
soon to a theater near you.
"Mutilator 2" Look for it.
-[security guard] Whoa, whoa.
-Wha... Wha... What?
Oh, shut up, you.
[dramatic music]
[distant upbeat music]
[Julian] It's a list of all
acting crew members.
It includes their phone
number, motel room number,
home and email addresses.
Oh, it also includes their character names
or crew position.
[Joe groaning]
Name tag?
What's a gaffer?
Please, please, please, please.
Whoa. Is this the original
one from Mutilator One?
[Sandy] Yep, the very same one.[Laughs]
It's a little heavier for me.
-Let me see that.
-Whoa, no, no. Girls, please.
-That is it, isn't it?
-This is sharp.
This is sharp.
Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, girls.
-Take my picture.
-Wait, please, please!
[RH] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
If this keeps somebody's
really gonna get hurt.
-[Bill] Oops.
-[RH] Or worse.
[Bill] Sorry, RH.
[Jack] How about the ax?
You have my battle ax?
No, sadly, someone stole it.
I mean, how can that happen? How?
[scoffs] I don't know.
We think that someone
from the original shoot
just made off with it.
We had to get a different one.
Damn. Some people, huh?
I know, right?
[upbeat music continues]
[Jason] Hey, hey, hey man.
How... How's that leg?
This leg? It's great.
Stainless steel, carbon fiber,
spring loaded piston and
naturally formed ankle.
It's the best leg you can
buy with taxpayer dollars.
I'm sorry about that.
Everybody's here. Where's Liz?
I don't know. She's here somewhere.
Look, let's just find her, grab some IPAs
and have a little private party.
[Iza laughs]
[Iza] Oh, I see her right there.
Show us that bad look, Mr. Chatham.
"Bad look"?
Hey, you! [Laughs]
Yeah, just call me Big Ed, all right?
[Party goer] You're still
the best bad guy ever.
Yeah, I still got it, don't I?
[camera snaps]
[Theodore] Whoa. What
party are you going to?
Just thought I'd take a nighttime dip.
You feel like having a companion tag along?
No.
[Theodore] For safety, I mean.
I know. I think I'll be okay.
I almost made the Olympic swim team.
Yeah, what was your stroke?
Uh...
-It's all in the wrist, right?
[ominous music]
[Bo] Here we go.
[Bleck] Hey man.
[no audible dialog]
Oh my God. I'm all tipsy.
[Liz] Listen guys, how
can you tell if a period...
How are you supposed
to tell if a period's in italics?
If you ever had a wet
dream and not remember it?
Like what even are italics anyhow?
Come on. We wanna have a private party.
-Yeah.
-Come with us.
[Patrice] No thanks, I'll stay.
I've got my eye on something.
[upbeat music]
Something? [Bleck chuckling]
-Hey.
-Hush.
-Nice talking with you.
-See you.
Two is a crowd.
-[Bleck] What's up, man?
-What's up, dude?
[lighter clicking]
Hit?
Oops, I forgot.
Hey there, Marilyn.
Would you like to be on
my show, The Gore Times?
I have a YouTube channel.
You've probably heard of it.
Oh, I'm a friend of Henry's.
Come on, Henry.
So how'd you do that thing at the end
where they cut you in half?
Well, there's nothing to it.
They just glued me back together. [Laughs]
And when was the last time
you saw the director alive?
I dunno. On the set
when he blew a circuit.
Yeah, he was very much alive then.
Did you get along with him?
Well, I didn't have to
deal with him directly,
which was good for me
because that guy could
be a real pain in the ass.
Yeah, sure. Who did you deal with?
Uh, the DP.
Okay.
What's a DP?
Director of photography.
Am I a suspect?
Everybody's a suspect.
Uh... Would you keep
information confidential
like when someone tells you shit?
I work with confidential
informants all the time
and I protect their identity.
What do you got?
You can't use my name.
You can't say where it came from.
Well, if we have to go to
court you may have to testify.
Ah, okay. Never mind.
Well, if you withhold information,
thereby hindering a
formal police investigation,
you're committing a
crime, a felony in fact,
if you wanna go to jail.
Yeah, but man, it's nothing.
You're asking for trouble.
Look, it's just my opinion, man.
It's nothing like real evidence.
Spill it.
You know who really hated Jon?
Henry, the producer.
They were constantly fighting, okay?
He told Jon that he'd
never worked for him again.
Henry. Okay.
I want to talk to Henry. Where is he?
[McNutt] Trench coat.
[pats shoulder]
Okay.
All right, we are here
now with the one and only.
Buddy Cooper, director of Mutilators One.
Oh Buddy, you are accredited
as executive producer
on this film.
Tell us what exactly is it that you do
as an executive producer.
Nothing.
As executive producer on this picture,
I do absolutely nothing.
It's great.
Um. Okay, well, tell us, Buddy, um,
is there any particular thing
from the original "Mutilator"
that you like better than in the remake?
Oh yeah.
On the original "Mutilator,"
the director did not
get murdered, I like that.
Toke.
No, thanks.
Hey, excuse me.
Buddy Cooper, everybody.
[upbeat music]
Well, if it moves or
bleeds, wiggles or winks,
walks or talks, then it's special effects
but if it doesn't do anything,
if it just lies there, then it's props.
You get it?
Yeah, I get it. I'm married to a prop.
You think the white bits in
oranges are good for you?
I don't think they're good for you.
The white bits?
Oranges.
[horn honks]
Do you like this line of work?
It's what some people do that don't drink.
Maybe that's why I drink. [Giggles]
They gave me those tests in high school.
The test that tell you
what you're best suited for.
Mine all kept coming up "forest ranger".
Really?
Mm-hm. All these years
I've wondered, day and night,
what's so great about
being a forest ranger?
There's nobody there.
Weirdo.
It's been a long time
since the movie was made,
but you are still a very good looking man.
[Jack] Well, thank you very
much. You look good too.
I'm flattered.
Are you married?
No, I'm not married. I'm available.
Well?
Well?
Would you like to come up
to my room for a night cap?
Not right now.
It might be a little obvious
if we both leave the party
at the same time, don't you think?
[Ann giggling]
What if I give you a call later?
I'll be counting on it.
I'll be calling you... definitely.
[ominous music]
Frozen 3 Musketeers
bar dipped in melted butter.
Nah, Breyers vanilla ice
cream with maple syrup.
Mm, You win.
[imitates munching]
[McNutt] You can relax.
Henry's not here anymore.
[both chuckling]
Hey, has that guy
talked to you yet, the cop?
Hmm.
That guy's name is
Columbo. You believe that?
Yeah, I told him Henry's a nobody.
Just somebody's messenger boy.
No real power, just a real asshole.
Damn. I told him that
Henry probably killed Jon.
-No, you didn't.
-Yes I did.
[both laughing]
-I love it.
-Shoot it.
Whoop.
Cheers.
[both coughing]
Goddamn, that's sweet.
Am I handsome yet or what?
-I think I need another one.
-I'll be right back.
[laughing]
Hey Ed, how about running my death scene
from the first "Mutilator" movie for me?
You know the real one, the
way it's supposed to be done.
Again? Why don't you just get a copy?
Um. No money?
Why don't you just ask Buddy for one
and then you can watch it anytime you want?
Ed, I promise you, this
will be the very last time
that I ask you.
All right, gimme a few
minutes and then come around.
Mr. Jack Chatham, Big Ed himself.
Oh my goodness, I'm so nervous.
Please don't kill me. Just kidding.
But speaking of which,
why do you think that Big
Ed killed all those people
in the original "Mutilator"
when he was only after his son?
It doesn't seem to make
much sense if you think about it.
That's a good question.
Are we on TV? Is that what that is?
Right there.
That's nice. That's nice.
See, when I put myself
into the Big Ed character,
I found that I really became Big Ed
and it felt like once I
started killing people,
I discovered that I really liked it.
You could say I was hooked.
[chuckling]
So I just wanted to keep on killing,
and killing... and killing.
Killing all those people was
the most fun I've ever had.
[suspenseful music]
[door knob beeps]
[door thuds]
[suspenseful music continues]
[phone beeps]
[suspenseful music fades]
Hey Ed, are you ready?
I've come to see it and I've
also brought you a souvenir.
All right, hot shot. This is the last time.
I got plenty of other
things to do than deal
with egocentric assholes.
Yeah, I saw you talking to her earlier
but I have come to watch my
most breathtaking performance.
I should have been nominated.
Okay, right.
It's all queued up. Have a seat.
You gonna watch it with me?
Ooh, do you have any popcorn?
Nah, I'm gonna head back to the party.
Pull the door shut. It locks automatically.
See you on the red carpet, hot shot.
Hey, what's up?
[Bill] All right, here we
go. Walking in the dark.
[laughing]
And what do you find first?
There you go, the pyramid sinker
and what do you find second?
Come on.
Well, no wonder. Woo-hoo.
Falling asleep, huh?
Hee-hee-hee.
Oh yeah, go ahead.
Batter batter batter batter batter batter.
Swing, batter!
Boom. Now he's awake.
Right.
And the great singing debut.
[Bill humming]
Something like that.
Ta-dum!
Not yet, huh?
Look, I gotta lock up
'cause I got something to see upstairs.
[laughing]
Oh, Ed, you're just in
time for the big finish.
[ominous music]
Yeah, brilliant idea number three or four.
Well, I'm really gonna hate to do this one.
All right, and make sure
you're okay for the night.
Do it. Do it. Do it!
Even I couldn't do that. [Laughs]
[ominous music]
-[onscreen Bill screaming]
[ominous music continues]
[Bill laughing] Oh my, no!
[Bill sputtering]

[tense music continues]
[upbeat music]
So you like the way your lips turned out?
[Zine] Hey, you work
on the picture, don't you?
Uh. Yes, I do.
Oh, can I get a few words for the fans?
I would love to say hello
to the fans of the movie,
but I am on my way somewhere right now.
Maybe later.
I'll keep an eye out for you.
Okay. See you.
Bye.
Keep an eye out for you? Idiot.
You're Gore Times.
Oh! Alive and in the flesh.
I'm a big fan.
Really?
Your YouTube link is
on my bookmarks toolbar.
Really?
Yes, I love that you use
background and philosophy.
Awesome.
Yes, like use what you've learned
and not what they've taught you.
I can't believe you remember that.
And never let pride get
in the way of happiness.
You are awesome!
I remember almost everything you say.
Can I like buy you a drink or something?
-I don't drink.
-[Laughing] Water?
Sure.
Perfect. I also drink water.
We have so much in common.
[distant traffic humming]
[tense music]
[waiter] Just so you know,
I'll be closing up soon, ma'am.
[Ann] How will I get off?
That button right there will open the gate
from the inside but, uh,
just watch your step.
We'll be turning the
lights off in a few minutes.
Okay, I will. Goodnight. Thanks.
Night.

I like surprises.
[Big Ed] Something nice for you,
a little on the neck?
Oh, goodie. [Giggles]

Please do.

Follow me, maestro.
There's too many people here.
Let's make it two fewer.
Oh, hey, no, you...
You didn't bring your glue right?
Maybe.
Seriously though, you didn't, right?
[ominous music]
[Bleck panting]
[Bleck screaming]
[Liz] Yeah, you're not gonna
put that off on me, are you?
[Bleck] Yeah. I mean, no, not yet.
You don't think we're
serious about that, do you?
Come on. No.
[Liz and Bleck laughing]
You might loosen them up if you hit that.
No, it's okay.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Here you go.
[Bo coughs]
-[all laugh]
It's not too bad.
You gonna be alright?
[Bo] Yeah, I'll be fine.
Um, do you know, why, uh
uh why there are Pop-Tarts,
but not Mom-Tarts?
Not exactly.
'Cause of the pastriarchy.
[both laugh]
It's the stupidest damn
joke I've ever heard.
How about right here?
[Sandy] Yeah, I like it.
Here, my lady.
Squeeze a cheek though.
Let me on this bad boy.
[McNutt groans]
-There's plenty of space.
Woo!
You ever seen it this hippy out here?
Oh, look at the stars.
[McNutt] I don't see any stars.
[Sandy laughs]
[subtle waves crashing]
[Sandy laughs]
You're good at that like
you've done it before.
[McNutt] I've thought about it.
Yes.

You gotta send that to me.
-Beautiful.

No freaking way.
Oh my god.
No way.
Oh shit.

[Goth Girl] What you doing?
Oh, nothing.
Come on now. What are you doing?
What are you taking

I'm just looking around.

Bloody Mary. What are you smoking?
Um. Nothing. You?

Let me look at the camera.
Oh? Oh, okay.
But I really didn't see anything.
How... How do I do this?
You just look through there.
It's called a viewfinder.
I don't see anything. It's all black.
-Oh?
-My favorite color.
[both chuckle]
-My bad. I'm sorry.
Alright, now look. Um...
I didn't see anything really,
but what do you see?
Nothing really, just the
end of the fishing pier.
See, I told you.
Here, you know what? Let me see.
-Huh?

Um?
Nothing, nothing.

Okay, everybody out.
Everybody.
[dramatic music]
[Zine] Let's go.
I'm coming to you live now
from the wonderful Oceanana Motel
in beautiful Atlanta Beach, North Carolina
with some breaking news,
a Gore Times exclusive.
Actor, Bill Hitchcock has just
apparently been murdered.
Mr. Hitchcock's deceased body
was found in the same manner
with the same implement
of death that was used to kill
Mr. Hitchcock's character
in the 1980s cult classic
film, "the Mutilator,"
the remake of which was being made here.
We are all just wondering
who could have done this terrible deed.
[camera beeps]
It wasn't me. I liked Bill.
[camera beeps] -Of course, it wasn't me.
Get that camera outta my...
-It wasn't us.
-It wasn't us.
Jinx. This is The Gore
Times signing off for now.
[camera beeps]
[Ruthie sobs]
No.
[camera beeps]
[RH chuckling]
[camera beeps]
-It wasn't me.
[fabric tearing]
[whoosh]
It was Big Ed. [Laughs]
I'm telling you it wasn't me.
[Joe] Okay.
It was Big Ed.
[Joe] I'm sure it was. Let's go.
