Hello all you victims out there
0:08
in Radioland. It's me
0:10
the Grave Freaker welcoming you
0:12
to the graveyard for a very special
0:15
Halloween episode of Rude Tales
0:17
of Magic, or should I
0:19
say, Blood Tales of
0:21
Depravity. That's right, strap
0:24
in. This episode will scare
0:26
the cum out of you. Oh, I'm sorry.
0:29
Oh, I was reading the wrong intro. That's for
0:31
our very special Patreon tier. This
0:34
episode will scare the piss
0:36
out of you.
0:37
Still pretty scary. New
0:48
York City. Gotham.
0:51
Forget about it. I'm
0:54
walking here. A thin
0:56
crust pizza. Liberty.
1:00
The Big Apple. Take
1:03
a bite. Crunch. Oh
1:07
no. Is that a worm? No.
1:12
Worse. Half
1:15
a worm. For you see, you've eaten the
1:17
other half of the worm. Just one of the gruesome and macabre surprises
1:19
that awaits you in the city that never sleeps. It's dusk now. Or
1:22
as vampires call it, dawn. We
1:24
open our eyes. We
1:27
open on a dark alley in downtown
1:30
Astoria, Queens. A
1:32
young woman is dressed all in mesh
1:34
and leather with heavy eye makeup.
1:38
She stands outside a door in an alley
1:40
surrounded by trash. The
1:42
twist? She's not young at
1:45
all. She's actually 300. Happy
1:48
birthday. Or should I say, happy
1:50
death day. You see, she is a vampire.
1:53
She knocks. She
1:56
knocks lustily on the metal door. An
1:58
eye slide.
1:59
The blood opens and two eyes with heavy
2:02
eyeliner greet hers. What's
2:04
the password? She smiles,
2:07
revealing two long sharp canines.
2:10
For you see, she is indeed a
2:12
vampire. She
2:15
whispers. To end
2:17
is human. To drink blood
2:20
is vampire. The
2:23
eyes look from side to side. No,
2:26
that is the old password. The
2:28
new password is things
2:30
that go bump in the night. She
2:33
smiles sexily. Okay.
2:36
The eyeslot closes and the door opens.
2:39
We follow her in. For you see,
2:42
we are invisible and can just
2:44
follow people around wherever.
2:47
This is what is known as audience privilege,
2:49
a concept so obvious that I
2:51
am the first to explain it. Perhaps
2:54
we enter a large, crowded, dimly
2:57
lit bar. Sisters of Mercy
2:59
plays over the speakers as all sorts
3:02
of vampires mill about. Why
3:04
if you didn't know any better, you'd think
3:06
that this was a goth bar or
3:09
perhaps the factory where they assemble
3:11
cure fans. But you do know
3:13
better, wise as you are. You
3:16
know that this is a vampire
3:18
bar. And although you don't currently
3:21
know the name of the bar, by sentence
3:23
end you'll know it as well as any phrase,
3:25
for the name of the bar is the empty
3:28
neck. The bartender,
3:31
a pony-tailed vampire with his
3:33
damn nipples out, is pouring
3:35
blood from the tap. This
3:38
one's on the house. But if you'd like
3:40
to pay me back with sexual favors,
3:43
I wouldn't say no. That's just
3:45
how it goes in the libidinously
3:47
preposterous vampire community.
3:50
Hell, look at me. I've already propositioned
3:52
you and I don't even know your name
3:55
plus my damn nipples are out. What
3:57
is that name? Mine is
3:59
tarantula. Tarantula's is
4:02
scary odd. Thank you. I am.
4:06
And you hear lightning crash outside.
4:09
Count Dracula. Whoa.
4:12
The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
4:14
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
4:16
the, the one and only.
4:19
Tarantula's runs over to a bell and rings it. He
4:21
goes, we got Cal Dracula, folks. We
4:24
got Cal Dracula here tonight. People
4:26
are just sliding you drinks. Congratulations,
4:29
Count Dracula. They love you here. The
4:31
count magnanimously nods
4:34
his head and gestures
4:36
with long fingers
4:38
with longer nails on the end waving. Yes.
4:43
Yes. Thank you. This is
4:45
my first time in the
4:47
new world. A young vampire,
4:50
a mess just sort of like grinds on
4:52
you and says, oh my God, it's always been
4:54
a pleasure to meet you. Count
4:57
Dracula yourself. You're my biggest
4:59
inspiration. You know, they say they
5:01
can trace my bloodline back to you. I
5:04
see. And Dracula
5:07
wipe body grime off
5:09
of his pitch black suit pant
5:12
that is left from the grinding gentleman.
5:15
Yeah. That's
5:17
my grime. It's all yours. My name
5:19
is Final Sentencing. Final Sentencing.
5:21
Final Sentencing.
5:23
It is true. I have hired
5:25
with many brides who have clouded
5:28
the world
5:29
and I have yet to find them fear
5:32
older than I, except
5:34
for whatever dark horse
5:37
turned me a cow. Of
5:39
course. Those are the legends. Oh
5:41
yeah. Oh yeah. Oh,
5:44
can I buy you a drink? I never drink.
5:47
Oh. Wine. Oh,
5:50
of course. Oh yeah. Oh, the line,
5:52
the line, the bar cheers. Everyone goes wild.
5:54
The line, the line, the line. Dracula
5:57
is confused. He's like, what? Why?
6:00
I don't... I've
6:02
never... What line? The
6:04
line! The big... Oh my g... Do you know the
6:06
movies about you and stuff that exist in
6:08
this world? The Todd Browning film,
6:11
the Hammer films, all of the drag... They... They...
6:13
You're famous! Everyone tells
6:15
me to watch these movies. But
6:18
I think they're probably... crazy.
6:21
No, well, some of them, yes, don't watch
6:24
Renfield, but like... Yeah, some of them are like
6:26
really good. You should check them out. Yeah. Oh,
6:28
hey, by the way, could you make a... Could
6:30
you make a blood roll for me? Of course.
6:35
I rolled a one. A
6:39
one? That's good. That's what you want. So
6:41
this is actually a great example for us to explain what we're doing
6:43
here. You might think we're playing Vampire
6:46
the Masquerade. No, idiot. Not you
6:48
guys, the listeners. Don't worry, I'm only chastising
6:50
our patrons. Phew. That game is complicated.
6:53
It's hard. It is frankly unpleasant
6:56
to look through that book. We're playing a
6:58
modded sort of vampirey, goth-y,
7:01
sexy version of Lasers and Feelings. So
7:03
you've got your blood number, which means you
7:06
need to roll a D6 and... Or
7:08
sorry, you didn't get your blood number. I'm explaining everything. You're
7:10
making a blood roll, which means
7:13
you have a number somewhere from 2 to 5.
7:17
And when I asked for a blood roll, you have to
7:19
roll a D6 and get lower than that or
7:21
your same number. Chris, what is your
7:23
number? So
7:28
you got under that. That means you got a success. That
7:31
means the temptation to even though
7:33
it is there wouldn't be any blood in there, you
7:35
still feel this like... You feel
7:37
this passing moment where you just want to
7:39
grab Final Sentencing and
7:42
just drink whatever life force
7:44
is in him. Just drink it out through the neck. And
7:46
you overcome it. You don't have to do
7:48
that. moves
8:00
over gently now to another end of the bar
8:03
where somebody else is ordering while all of this
8:05
hullabaloo goes on. Hello!
8:08
You hear a buzzing
8:10
and then the buzzing stops
8:13
and a voice comes from upon
8:15
the bar. Hello bartender,
8:18
hello! The bartender pays you
8:20
no mind. Oh no! But
8:24
you do a vampire, a
8:26
sort of like Elvira-y vampire, like
8:28
the big hair is
8:30
near you and says, oh a little one.
8:33
What is your problem? What
8:36
is your situation? Oh no
8:38
problem. I'm just
8:40
looking to get a drop
8:42
of water. I'm so thirsty. Water?
8:46
Here in the vampire bar? That
8:48
is unheard of. Yeah,
8:50
that's a really good point. Thank you,
8:53
I thought so when I said this. Okay, so
8:55
I also was thinking
8:57
I wanted to get
9:00
a glass of water actually
9:02
to leave it here on the bar to see if I
9:05
could lure any humans out.
9:07
Oh, little one. What is your name by the way?
9:09
My name is the dreaded narcotic. Hello
9:11
dreaded narcotic. My name is Big
9:14
Frank. Big Frank? Yeah.
9:18
That is the name is full of irony as you are
9:21
not full of blood for you see you are so
9:22
tiny. That's the thing that's so funny about
9:24
it. I'm so
9:26
small. I wondered why I was laughing
9:28
and now I know. Now you know. You
9:31
may have heard of me and my folk.
9:34
We are the mosquito vampires. Oh,
9:36
the mosquito vampires.
9:37
You are the one who took the dawn of time,
9:39
the creation myth, right? That's
9:42
us as a creation myth
9:43
at the dawn of time.
9:45
That's why originally mosquitoes were
9:47
harmless little flying insects
9:49
and you turned all of them.
9:51
Yes, we got them boys.
9:52
I
9:55
would like to shake your hand but I will have to
9:57
settle for you shaking my finger on account of
9:59
yours so small.
9:59
If I get lucky and a human
10:02
comes by and drinks the water I want to order,
10:04
I make it big enough to shake your hand.
10:07
Well,
10:08
I guess this is a great opportunity
10:10
for you to make a culture role. That
10:12
is the other end of the spectrum. Blood,
10:15
the primals, the
10:17
forces that guide us vampires after the night. And
10:19
culture is such a way as we pass, the
10:22
way we trick human beings into thinking we are one
10:24
of them. I do not know how you do it, small as you
10:26
are, but hehe, make a culture role.
10:30
I rolled
10:31
a 2. A 2? And my
10:33
number is a 5.
10:35
Oh no, my friend. Oh,
10:37
your culture role was
10:39
a rousing failure.
10:40
Oh no! That
10:43
makes sense.
10:44
You put your water, you, I, so I, you
10:46
know what, you give the water, time
10:48
passes. You are served water, somehow. You
10:51
get your water, you leave it out.
10:52
But unfortunately, my friend, no
10:55
human.
10:56
No humans come back to drink it. I am
10:58
so sorry. Are
10:58
there no humans here tonight? Not
11:00
generally. Humans love water.
11:03
They do love water, but this is a vampire
11:05
bar. Do you not know? This is only
11:07
for vampires to come and mingle and hang
11:09
out and be free from the judgments of
11:11
humans.
11:12
I just assumed someone would bring
11:15
a snack.
11:15
Sometimes yes, they do drag in a human
11:18
who is mistaken to believe that this is just
11:21
like a sexually charged bar.
11:23
Yes, and they always order water
11:25
because they don't know what's going on and they feel disoriented.
11:28
That
11:28
would have been the case if only you had rolled higher.
11:30
Oh geez. I'll
11:33
have a water. And
11:36
the dreaded narcotic looks
11:38
to the side and what does she see? She
11:41
sees a man, early
11:44
20s, jet black hair,
11:46
wearing a black tank top. This
11:49
guy sounds... Even though it's cold out, I'm
11:51
saying it's like March. Or
11:53
it's Halloween. Or yeah, or maybe it's Halloween.
11:57
It's October 31st and yet this guy's
11:59
out in a tank. top with no jacket. October
12:01
31st. It's a very March-like
12:03
weather, really. Yeah. If
12:06
you take him in, you notice a few other things. For
12:08
instance, hanging out of his back pocket,
12:11
a pair of sunglasses? What the fuck? A
12:14
vampire never carries sunglasses. If
12:17
we zoom into his pocket, we see
12:19
a torn-up baseball
12:21
ticket from today's World Series
12:24
game. There's
12:27
only one October. And it was a day
12:29
game? What the fuck? What?
12:33
We zoom even farther into this guy's pocket,
12:35
and we see... The molecules
12:38
that make up the pocket. We
12:40
zoom out. We see, in
12:43
his wallet, a blood
12:44
donor card. What?
12:46
This doesn't make any sense at all. This guy's practically
12:48
human.
12:49
Vampires are famously blood receivers, Joe.
12:51
What the... I'm sorry. I'll
12:53
allow it, but you better be going somewhere
12:56
with this, Joe. Yeah.
12:59
I'll take a water. I'm actually not
13:01
a vampire. A
13:03
big prank launches
13:05
herself up into the air, and
13:07
nobody notices. It buzzes around
13:10
to the back of this newcomer, and
13:13
his neck is
13:14
exposed, right? Because he's wearing a tank top? Yeah, of course
13:16
it's exposed. I assume his neck is exposed. It's like a turtle
13:18
top. A turtle's neck tank
13:20
top. He'd get a dickey on with his tank top.
13:23
Okay, so then just below the dickey. Well,
13:26
just like his upper back. Just below the dickey.
13:29
She
13:31
lands
13:32
and attempts to puncture
13:35
into his skin.
13:36
Before you can, he
13:39
makes piercing eye contact
13:42
with lightning-fast reflexes
13:44
and looks you in your weird
13:47
little buggy eyes and says, I wouldn't
13:50
try that if I were you. It's a man
13:52
turned all the way back around. Well,
13:54
how far are you?
13:55
I thought you I was on the back of your
13:57
neck. Oh, well, he turned enough.
13:59
He turns to his side. You know, he kind of like gets you. It
14:02
could be Scholzer. Okay, she's on your sofa. There's
14:04
a series of mirrors in the bar that aid him. Mirrors
14:07
in which only he appears. Whoa! Oh
14:10
yeah, the vampires are flexing having mirrors
14:12
in the bar.
14:14
So she puts her hands up, like, ah,
14:16
you
14:16
caught me. I don't think you'd like this blood.
14:18
I'm built a little different. Go
14:21
on. Well, I'm not
14:24
just a human. I'm something
14:26
more... What what? I
14:29
don't even know your name. I'm Big
14:31
Frank. Hi Frank. My
14:33
name is Caleb. Thank you.
14:36
Caleb Dark. Caleb!
14:40
What a cool name! You might be
14:42
wondering how I got here. I'll tell
14:44
ya. I dr... Okay. I
14:46
fell in love with a vampire, see? Oh, okay,
14:50
she sits, um, crisscross applesauce
14:52
on her shoulder. I thought her and I would be together
14:54
forever, but ultimately she dumped
14:56
me for another vampire. Oh,
14:59
I'm so sorry, Caleb. But because of
15:01
my undying love for her, I was shunned
15:03
by my own community. So now I only
15:06
find peace amongst the vampir.
15:08
So what's with your blood?
15:10
Well... What
15:12
was that part? I'm not totally a normal
15:14
human. See? You wouldn't
15:16
like me on a
15:18
full moon? Okay,
15:20
I'm listening. I'm a werewolf.
15:23
Oh,
15:23
she flies back. Oh
15:26
my gosh!
15:27
I know, I know. Our kind have
15:29
warred for centuries. And yet,
15:31
this is the only place I call home.
15:34
Caleb, what are you doing here? You're gonna get ripped apart?
15:37
You're gonna get shattered! No, no,
15:39
I've earned the respect of many vampires by constantly
15:42
aiding them in their missions and quests. Oh,
15:44
against your own kind? No,
15:46
usually against,
15:47
like, other monsters or,
15:49
like, evil vampires. Oh, yeah,
15:51
yeah. You know, if there are any, like, Italian vampires...
15:54
A battle-hardened vampire
15:56
at the end of the bar turns and
15:58
looks at Caleb's body.
15:59
dark and gives a thumbs up.
16:02
The thumb is just a skeletal bone.
16:05
And from the other end of the bar,
16:08
under a large hood, a voice
16:11
emerges. That is a beautiful
16:14
story of Robin's tale of dark.
16:17
I myself have meant that
16:20
also a participant of many
16:22
a long lost romance. Like
16:24
my long lost Nina
16:27
and Lucy. I
16:29
suppose it is time to give this entire
16:32
bar a thrill they never thought
16:34
possible. It is
16:36
I, the hood flows off. Count
16:40
Dracula. What?
16:45
Yes. Tarantula is scary.
16:47
He overhears this and he begins ringing the bell
16:49
again and says, Oh my god, oh
16:51
my god, oh my anti God
16:54
were vampires. Oh man.
16:56
Oh, it's we've got to
16:58
count Dracula's here tonight. What are the odds?
17:01
To count the Dracula's? No,
17:03
no, no, I am the one and
17:06
only count Dracula. You can see
17:08
by my long fingers and long
17:10
fingernails. I came before
17:13
any vampire existed,
17:15
except for the dark beast who turned
17:17
me. Tim, can you make a culture role for me?
17:20
Yes. And Count Dracula's number
17:23
is four. I
17:25
got I got a four I got my culture. I got my blood
17:28
culture. You got your blood culture. Oh, wow, I should rename.
17:30
All right. Well, you got your blood culture. So
17:33
that's your number. So you got your number, which means that
17:35
not only do you succeed, the bar believes
17:38
that you both because they already believed that Chris
17:40
was count Dracula, they simply believe that
17:42
the two count actual as are here
17:44
in attendance, you both succeeded. And you
17:46
get to ask me a question anything at all. Don't blow
17:49
it. Which Dracula
17:51
does Mr. Scary on the bone?
17:53
That's an incredible question, Tim both
17:55
at the same time. Dang.
17:58
Well, I asked I got my answer. the answer
18:00
I wanted, but it was an answer that was grounded
18:02
in mid-truth. Thanks, Branson! Anytime, Tim!
18:04
Happy to play the game with you! Haha! The
18:08
bar cheers as I shout, Two Dracula's!
18:11
Two Dracula's! A particularly
18:13
blood-drunk vampire in the corner rubs his
18:15
eyes and he says, I'm seeing double!
18:18
Four Dracula's?
18:20
Yay!
18:23
And Big Frank says, now
18:25
I know why they say, Count Dracula!
18:27
Hahaha! Because
18:32
it's one, two? Yes. Count
18:35
Dracula approaches Count Dracula. This is like
18:37
he- What is the
18:39
meaning of this? Hahaha!
18:46
You say you are Dracula. When I
18:48
am the original Dracula. Why
18:50
would you lie and say you are Dracula?
18:53
Why would you lie and say you are Dracula?
18:56
Because I am Count Dracula. Because I am!
18:58
I am Count Dracula. I am Dracula
19:01
who slayed the Huns when they detranced
19:03
them here. Though I am the Dracula
19:05
who did all that and sailed to London
19:08
in my big old boat, where I, uh,
19:10
uh, uh, corruptly the young
19:13
Mina, the young Lucy.
19:15
Mina, Mina Harker, who I met
19:17
when I bought Carfax Abbey in
19:20
London, England.
19:22
Yes, yes, yes. That same London England
19:24
I learned from her husband Harker
19:26
at Maya's faith in Transylvania. He
19:29
told me about every street and all the social
19:31
mores of the London people. There's a vampire
19:33
at the bar who's just looking back and forth
19:35
from one to the other, one to the other.
19:38
This vampire just throws up his hands and says,
19:40
I can't tell which Dracula is which. I've
19:42
just got to be at people's effect
19:44
if there are two Dracula's here. Or
19:46
we could have a contest to see which
19:48
one is the true Dracula. Call
19:51
case would be beneath Count Dracula. And
19:54
yes, I shall participate
19:56
in anything that will make you all believe if I'm the real Count
19:58
Dracula. Be tasteful
20:01
as I hide you. You such a thing
20:03
must be done by your deeds. Well,
20:06
count Dracula bows to count Dracula.
20:08
Dracula Prime bows. You
20:11
can't... hold up. No, no, no, no, no,
20:13
no, no, no. Tim,
20:19
you should have thought of the name of your Dracula Prime.
20:21
It's as simple as that. Tim, you are
20:23
right now at war with your natural inclination
20:26
to low status. Yeah,
20:28
but I can't because this guy is Count Dracula. Well,
20:31
there's only one way to figure that out. We smash
20:34
cut to 10 minutes later. The
20:36
whole bar has been arranged. Everyone's
20:38
on either side of the bar. Chris's
20:41
Count Dracula is at one end of the bar, and
20:44
there's a vampire sort of rubbing his shoulders
20:46
being like, yeah, you got this, you got this. It's
20:48
a classic case, but this is yours. At
20:50
the other end of the bar, Tim, your Dracula
20:53
is there. And there is another
20:56
vampire sort of rubbing your shoulders.
20:57
You're like, yeah, you're going to hell with my
20:59
floor. Oh boy, oh boy, you're going to wipe
21:01
the floor with them. And in the
21:03
middle, Tarantula is scary. He
21:06
brings out a human, a
21:08
human in a cage. He opens
21:10
the cage and he says, ah, look, we
21:12
have here an original Renfield.
21:15
We're going to let this despicable
21:17
little man choose which
21:20
man does he naturally serve. That
21:23
will be the true Dracula. Wait,
21:26
big Frank, to me, avoid
21:28
this Renfield. He shall try to
21:30
eat you in order to gain a
21:32
connection to me.
21:33
Thank you, Count Dracula number
21:35
two. No, no, no,
21:37
do not do that. I
21:39
am merely Count Dracula. Maybe Dracula
21:42
would work.
21:43
Oh, I love that.
21:45
There will be no two in my name. I am
21:47
simply Count Dracula, exclusively
21:49
Count Dracula. So in the past 10 minutes, they've
21:51
been doing like games and contests so far.
21:53
And what we see is what the bartender
21:55
has written. He's written
21:57
Dracula one for Count
21:59
Dracula.
21:59
Chris's character and Dracula
22:02
A for Tim's character. And the glass,
22:04
yay, miele, mistra scale.
22:08
He takes the point away for you being Italian.
22:10
Well, you see, I traveled with many Italian
22:14
islands and coasts. I
22:16
had a whole little time in Venice. I
22:18
always had to cross and it to leave. He
22:21
gives you back a point for referencing the work of
22:23
filmmaker Jeff Franco. So
22:26
now you're tied. And this is the
22:28
final contest to see who the Renfield
22:31
will choose. Renfield,
22:33
Renfield, listen to me.
22:38
While Dracula A has been speaking
22:40
Italian, Dracula 1 has
22:42
been calling out to Renfield in his mind.
22:45
Listen to the voice of your master.
22:48
Come to me, Renfield. Dracula 1,
22:51
make a blood roll. This is a very vampire-y
22:54
thing you're doing here. It's a classic vampire
22:56
power. That's blood. And
22:59
I got my culture
23:01
blood number. Oh, you got your
23:04
culture blood number. Boy, I should have thought about this. You
23:06
got your culture blood number, which
23:09
means that not only is it going to work, but you get
23:11
to ask me a question. OK,
23:13
if I win the contest, can I keep Renfield?
23:17
Yeah, yeah, if you win, you
23:19
can keep Renfield. OK, Renfield
23:21
looks over to you and this is like this. This
23:24
man has no language. He just like, and
23:27
he just starts like walking over
23:29
towards you, just sort of like on all fours
23:31
slowly. They, Renfield.
23:35
Count Dracula A holds up his arm and
23:37
then unbuttoned his beautiful
23:41
shirt and opens it down, exposing
23:44
his wrist, exposing
23:46
his forearm. He then takes on his opposite
23:48
hand his long nail and then pokes
23:50
it open with a little blood coming out
23:53
and goes, Tap
23:55
on me and take the gift of vampirism
23:57
and gain
23:57
the power that I now promise
23:59
you.
23:59
Seriously, you'd offer
24:02
him the dark gift so soon just
24:04
to win a bet in a bar. It is the thing
24:06
that Renfield wants more than anything. So,
24:09
Tim, you do get to roll this with advantage. You
24:11
get to make a blood roll here. You've identified
24:13
his one true desire. So
24:16
I got a six and a three and I'm a four. So
24:19
with advantage, that means one of those works. Yeah,
24:21
yeah, yeah. It's one of those. Okay. So
24:24
because it's with advantage, you take the one that works. Great.
24:27
You're going to go with that three, that works,
24:29
and Renfield now, he's torn. He really
24:31
wants to go to Dracula One, but Dracula Two
24:33
is making him this perfect promise. It's almost too
24:35
good to be true promise. That's the thing he wants. He
24:38
smells the blood. He begins walking over
24:40
and over. He's getting a little closer now to Dracula
24:43
A. Dracula One
24:45
calls out
24:46
to the children of the night. All
24:50
of the vermin, the dogs,
24:52
the cats of the streets of New
24:54
York City, of the Bernal
24:57
Queen, bring me the
25:00
fattest alley cat. A
25:02
little kitten, perhaps, for Renfield, call
25:05
his own to feed on. A
25:07
starter blood, a reasonable starter
25:10
blood. You don't just go
25:12
straight from zero to the king
25:14
of vampires when you're drinking this stuff. Come
25:17
on. That's a reasonable case to the
25:19
beasts of New York City. Can you make a blood
25:21
roll for me? Yes. Oh,
25:26
that is a success. You hear rumbling
25:28
as the door begins to shake
25:31
and it shakes
25:32
and shakes and shakes and the bouncer in front
25:34
of you goes, what's going on?
25:36
And the door flies open and rats
25:39
pour in and atop
25:41
them they have a little rat
25:44
in a bassinet. It's got a little
25:46
diaper on, a little rat, and it's just sucking on a pacifier
25:48
and it looks up at Renfield
25:50
and it offers its own risk to Renfield.
25:54
Renfield is torn now. He wants both
25:57
blood. He wants the blood of
25:59
Dracula A.
25:59
He wants this rat. He knows that Dracula one
26:02
is probably being a little more honest with him This
26:04
is not as good a deal, but it is more honest
26:06
a deal. He doesn't know what to do He looks
26:08
at both. He looks at one looks at the other looks
26:10
at one looks at the other and he splits
26:12
in half. Oh He
26:14
screeches He
26:16
just splits down the middle
26:19
He falls over completely dead the
26:21
bar goes wild and they just rushed to him and they
26:23
begin drinking his blood Count
26:25
Dracula approaches Count Dracula That
26:28
was brilliant to do the thing where you give him
26:30
the little blood before I give him mine That
26:32
was that was very wise. I didn't even think to do
26:34
that I just thought I'd offer it because that is what he
26:36
wanted, but I was very conscientious You
26:39
may not be the real Count Dracula because I huh
26:42
well you certainly are agent of the
26:44
night.
26:45
I bow to you
26:47
Count Dracula
26:48
Thank you count
26:51
Dracula
26:52
They
26:56
are now back to back Turning
27:00
turning slowly It
27:03
just takes in the entire bar. This is a
27:05
beautiful sight We
27:11
have agreed to disagree We
27:14
are both count Dracula Caleb
27:17
leans down to big Frank and
27:20
sort of whispers in her little ear
27:23
These two are really all about themselves, huh?
27:26
They really care for
27:28
Number one and a yeah. Yeah
27:32
like
27:32
themselves
27:34
Yeah, so not the way for all that by
27:37
You little mosquito care about
27:39
the blood and you Caleb
27:41
dark you care about the love that
27:43
is very vampiric of you We
27:46
are very passionate. I know but I don't
27:48
know if I could ever love again unless
27:51
I Unless
27:53
what unless Bob
27:55
go on Caleb and less what
27:57
Caleb well you must have I don't
27:59
know unless less one The right
28:01
vampire came along. Oh,
28:04
okay. Oh, Caleb. Oh, Caleb.
28:07
Caleb, that's normal mortal
28:09
stuff. I thought you were going to say, unless
28:11
you lived until her soul was
28:14
breathed into a new life again, just
28:16
like a meme. Memes.
28:19
She was born again many, many times.
28:22
And always taken for about class. I guess I
28:24
would date someone who was a human
28:26
and then got turned into a vampire. Of course, wouldn't
28:28
we all? Good. That will help.
28:31
Lately, I've just been sort of dating vampires.
28:33
You know,
28:35
Caleb.
28:36
To date around left and right. The
28:38
vampire can feel that. To know that you
28:41
have not chosen them,
28:43
so why should they choose you?
28:45
If you keep on dating willy-nilly,
28:47
ve- vee-ly-nilly. If
28:50
you keep dating vee-ly-nilly. Without
28:54
really giving a part of yourself, the vampire can feel that. Dracula,
28:56
are you trying to tell me that vampires are
28:58
like not into casual
29:01
relationships? Meanwhile, like all the only
29:04
other thing happening in this bar is just like hardcore
29:06
vampire fucking. Like just like anonymous
29:09
vampires looking each other in the eyes and saying, who
29:11
are you? And then another vampire
29:13
answering that by saying like, I'm
29:16
a flesh-a-cuck gut. And he's like, okay,
29:18
nice to meet you. My name is Adolf Poison.
29:21
They're shaking hands and just fucking.
29:26
Yeah, yeah. Just like in and out. And
29:28
then you just like gently shake hands with each
29:30
other. I mean, I've only ever dated
29:32
two vampires. I don't think it's like a
29:34
crazy body count. Body count.
29:37
And you realize
29:43
now that you guys are standing near the still
29:45
open door to the front of the bar as
29:47
you hear another voice say, Oh,
29:53
you turn around and you see standing in the doorway. There's
29:56
a crack of lightning and you see the unmistakable
29:58
silhouette of the creature.
29:59
from the black lagoon. Whoa!
30:05
What's going on tonight? Hey guys! Hello
30:07
creature! Oh you can call
30:09
me Gil! Hey Gil! Hey Gil!
30:12
Hello Gil! Can I come in? Of
30:14
course!
30:16
Okay, hell yeah! He walked into the bar. Mmm,
30:19
yeah, I could get used to this. Wow, a community
30:22
of monsters? That's so cool! I feel
30:24
like I've known you guys for years. Actually, maybe
30:26
we shouldn't have let it in. No,
30:29
I'm fine
30:30
now, I'm in, it's cool. Look,
30:32
I can do the vampire rules just like anyone
30:34
else, right? You know, you gotta
30:36
be invited to get in, I get it, I'm cool.
30:39
I get exactly what you guys have been going through. It's
30:41
basically the same shit for me. Yeah,
30:44
I'm not a vampire either, Gil. Okay, yeah, well, you
30:46
might have to pay your dues.
30:50
So might you. Yeah, well, fair
30:52
enough, okay.
30:54
Look, Gil, we
30:56
appreciate your enthusiasm. We are
30:58
amazing beings, Ivepa. What
31:01
made you come to the door
31:03
to see us? Oh,
31:06
you're
31:06
right, you're right. The plot! Of course,
31:08
I forgot, I almost forgot! The plot! I
31:11
was so, I was enjoying being annoyed so
31:13
much, I forgot about the story. The
31:14
plot, Gil, the plot!
31:16
Okay, hold on, where is it? I
31:18
gotta hear somewhere. Fuck, fuck,
31:19
okay.
31:21
Okay, I was in the
31:23
first Universal Monster movie in 3D.
31:25
They tried re-releasing me in color,
31:28
but it doesn't really work. Um, okay,
31:30
oh, a sheep of water, I gotta see that.
31:33
Okay, here we go, the Halloween
31:35
community! The
31:36
Halloween community is in jeopardy! What
31:39
is going on? Yeah,
31:40
the Mummy's curse! Oh,
31:42
no! Yeah,
31:44
the Mummy! I don't know why I left, I think I got
31:46
really nervous. Mummies make me
31:48
really scared. Well,
31:50
you know the Mummies, they're
31:51
usually content to just hang out in
31:53
the museum. But not this time.
31:56
No, no, they're trying to turn the entire city
31:58
of New York City into-
31:59
sand.
32:00
But I thought we already solved
32:03
that by returning the scarab of darkness to its
32:05
rightful place. You did! You did!
32:07
Well, I know you did, Caleb. You've
32:09
had so many vampire adventures.
32:12
That's why any vampire
32:14
we meet tonight won't question, why is there
32:16
a werewolf hanging out with vampires?
32:18
You guys are sworn enemies. That,
32:21
no, no, you did that for sure. You
32:23
did that big time. But, uh, unfortunately,
32:26
it
32:26
got out. No. It
32:29
escaped. You didn't
32:30
kill the scarab. You're supposed to kill it. It's
32:32
still alive and it flew away. And now
32:34
the mummies are using the scarab beetle
32:36
and they're trying to turn all of New York City into sand.
32:39
But if all of New York City is sand, there
32:42
shall be no people whose
32:44
blood we can drain. This is
32:46
a problem. I'm
32:47
sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Count Dracula.
32:49
If it's okay, I do not get cut off...
32:52
wine. Like
32:55
a bottle that cannot cut me
32:57
off of wine. That's okay. You know what
33:00
I mean? Is it? Yeah. You already
33:02
said the name. Good name, Dracula. Thank
33:04
you. I am Count Dracula, king of vampires.
33:06
But what were you saying, big Frank?
33:09
I was just gonna say, and I need water
33:11
because I live in, uh, swamps
33:14
or like, where there's water around
33:16
trash.
33:17
So it's bad for me too. The sand
33:19
would be bad for mosquito. Yeah,
33:22
there's stakes for me. Oh, do you two know
33:24
each other? Who? You and Gil?
33:26
Me and Gil?
33:27
Yeah, you're both like swamp folk.
33:29
I've seen Gil around.
33:30
Cool.
33:33
Gil is my best
33:34
talent, Gil.
33:36
What? Why? I just say I don't recognize you,
33:38
but we definitely... I'm sure we hang out at a lot of the same
33:41
swamp bars and things like that. I'm a
33:43
creature from the Black Lagoon.
33:46
Okay, well, I
33:48
would... if you guys want to come with me, I was gonna try to
33:50
figure out how to stop them. Yes, where
33:53
are the mummies gathered? We will
33:55
make them more fear. We will
33:57
make them more pain.
33:59
will
34:01
unravel their plans.
34:03
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
34:05
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
34:07
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You
34:10
can laugh however you want. This
34:12
is a...
34:12
I've done this since I was a kid.
34:14
That is how I laugh.
34:16
Oh, cool.
34:19
Jesus. That just happened.
34:23
And Dracula slinks backward as though
34:25
there's like a skateboard under his cape that you can't
34:27
see. He just goes backward
34:30
into the crowd, accidentally
34:32
popping his finger up a guy's butthole.
34:35
Oh, pardon me. My
34:39
name is Jafar too. Pardon
34:42
me Jafar too. I didn't mean to enter the
34:44
orgy or your spigot.
34:48
It's fine. Also, my name
34:50
is Withered Forever's. Oh, I got two
34:52
of you. Dracula looks down at his long
34:55
finger that he sees he's basically got
34:58
like an entire puppet's collection
35:00
of vampires on him right now. And he's trying
35:02
to get loose. My name is Regal Ambition.
35:04
I'm vengeance to call Gil Gil.
35:08
We shall join you in a junior quest.
35:11
But first, Count Dracula has
35:13
popped the sexual jelly of our
35:15
party. So we must all take a brief
35:18
moment
35:18
to enjoy the sensual pleasures of the masquerade.
35:22
All right. Shall you
35:24
join us, Gil? Me?
35:27
I never get invited to orgies. That sounds like
35:29
a fun next few minutes for us to roleplay.
35:33
A wild orgy. I was
35:36
hoping we would prep,
35:37
take a cut there. But if we
35:39
want to play, Count Dracula
35:42
is the first time. No, we'll see this thing through.
35:45
You made a promise to the audience and we're going to deliver
35:47
on it. Now watch this. And
35:49
his dick just like
35:51
the fucking like the what's the dinosaur
35:54
in Jurassic Park that spits all over Numa. It's
35:56
like it's got like the Dilophosaurus. The
35:58
Dilophosaurus. It's got like frills to it. He goes, AHHH!
36:01
He just like runs into the crowd. Up
36:03
count, Dracula turns into fog and
36:06
lets that fog envelop the entire orgy,
36:08
being penetrated and penetrating
36:10
all. Big Frank is
36:12
flying in and out a hole.
36:14
Just in and out and in and
36:17
out.
36:17
Getting nothing
36:19
out of it. With
36:22
like mouths and ears and nostrils
36:24
and funholes and everything. Fucking a gerythra,
36:27
just a vampire goes, AHH!
36:29
In one, another, yeah. I
36:32
know this is
36:32
being funny and fun for all of us, but what
36:35
does Caleb do? Caleb...
36:43
But for one moment, those primal
36:45
forces stir within him and his
36:48
hands become a little claw-like. But
36:50
then he collects himself, reverts back
36:52
to human form, and finishes.
36:55
The vampire you were fucking turned around is just like, Hey,
37:00
by the way, I really wanted to thank you for not turning into
37:02
a werewolf and destroying me while we were mid-coitus.
37:06
No problem. And Caleb looks out a
37:08
window at a full moon. Oh no!
37:11
Wait, so is Caleb resisting a full moon right now? Yeah,
37:14
I think Caleb's gonna need to make a wolf.
37:18
Joe, this is the most interesting character that's ever been
37:21
put to Mike. Branson,
37:23
I got a three, which is his number. Whoa!
37:27
He comes again! Yeah,
37:30
Joe, you tell me exactly what happened
37:32
to Caleb, because he doesn't turn into a werewolf if he doesn't
37:35
want to. And you get to ask me a question.
37:38
Caleb feels the urge
37:40
to let loose, the urge
37:42
to let those primal forces free,
37:45
to engage that beast within,
37:48
and then he clutches a pure
37:50
silver locket hanging around
37:53
his neck, and the feeling passes.
37:57
So if he has scars, is it like spurring?
38:00
Any of that silver or is it not?
38:02
No, his chest is profoundly hairless. Are
38:05
you? Wow. And
38:08
well-defined.
38:10
A hairless werewolf is
38:12
just like
38:13
such a fascinating choice. Right
38:15
now, right now, when he's werewolf, when he's, you
38:17
know, he will get hairy. But like right
38:19
now, like. And like when he touches the silver,
38:22
that doesn't burn his hands? No. Wow,
38:24
this is like a white werewolf. What's wrong with this
38:27
guy? Do you have a question for me? What Caleb wants
38:29
to know is,
38:30
will he ever find the true love of
38:32
a vampire again? Yes.
38:35
You will. By the end of this
38:37
episode, or my name isn't
38:39
Branson Philip Lee, which it isn't,
38:41
so I have an out. Mark.
38:44
Mark. Caleb
38:46
extracts himself from the orgy and
38:48
then leans against the bar, just a peaceful
38:51
amount of sweat appearing on his
38:53
brow. And he looks over to
38:55
Big Frank and he says, Big Frank, I
38:57
don't know. The werewolf community
39:00
has long been allied with the mummy community.
39:03
Do I join you in this quest and forever
39:06
separate myself from my people?
39:08
Or do I not do it and stay home? Oh,
39:11
are you talking to me? Yeah.
39:12
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm covered in so
39:14
many fluids.
39:16
Oh, sorry. I thought you were done. I thought you were
39:18
done. No, I'm
39:20
just haven't cleaned up yet. She's just slopping
39:23
stuff out of her ears. Yeah. You
39:25
said something about the mummies.
39:26
Yeah, just the werewolves
39:29
have long been, are longstanding allies
39:31
of the mummies.
39:31
Oh my god. I
39:33
forgot all about that, even though I knew it just
39:36
before.
39:36
So if I join forces with the
39:39
vampir on this mission, well, the
39:41
werewolves won't take it kindly.
39:43
If you're already planning to make vampires
39:45
a family, there's no better
39:47
time than the present. Well, I loved
39:50
one. Yeah.
39:52
Count Dracula approaches
39:54
the bar, absolutely just
39:57
coated in sweat. He is in his
39:59
gigantic. erotic monster
40:01
bat form. So he is
40:03
like, he's coated in like short
40:06
brown hair. He has like
40:08
an upturned like little bat
40:10
piggy nose and like blood
40:13
gushing out of his mouth and he's so
40:17
sweaty and he like plunks down an elbow at
40:19
the bar and like grabs the nearest chalice
40:21
of wine and pounds it back, you
40:24
know, like it was a Gatorade. Oh,
40:27
another, a much smaller bat
40:32
guy looks over at you and says, boy, you
40:34
said it. I
40:37
am keeping it on the down low, but I am a third
40:39
Dracula. What is in
40:41
the air for that? You
40:44
say Dracula right here. I tell you
40:46
what? Perhaps it is because I don't
40:51
know your new colony
40:54
rule about holidays
40:57
and what happened. Wow, you are
40:59
going high. Look, I will be, I am con artist. I
41:01
am real good, but you are really playing games.
41:04
Oh, oh, all right. Mystery soft. Still
41:06
just me and the other. Oh, okay.
41:09
Well, hey, good luck to you. Happy
41:11
hunting. A fiance. And so
41:13
you all leave the bar with the field.
41:16
Yes. And Dracula, he, he shape
41:18
shift back into an elegant
41:20
man of the night in the velvet lined
41:23
Cape and top hat and
41:25
fun little glasses. As you all leave
41:27
the bar, you notice that it seems like someone has put
41:29
the fog machine up towards the window because fog
41:32
is just pouring out of the window.
41:34
Wait a minute.
41:35
That's not a fog machine. That
41:37
is Count Dracula who reformed
41:39
himself with a group with a cane
41:42
and a little more and the top hat.
41:45
Oh good. For a second. I was worried that was
41:47
sand coming through the window and that
41:49
would have been a mummy. Let's go get them. Oh
41:51
yeah. Let's go. All right. We're all outside of the bar.
41:54
Let's, we gotta get, oh, we gotta get to the natural
41:56
history museum.
41:56
That's where all the mummies are gathered. That's
41:59
where they're going to perform. form their dark ritual
42:01
to turn
42:01
the entirety of the five burrows
42:04
into sand.
42:05
A natural history museum, but that means we will
42:07
have to cross the East River. How
42:09
shall we Dracula's, Vampyr's
42:12
and normal Valvulf cross
42:15
the river? Running water, no.
42:18
Gil, oh
42:19
yeah I forgot I can cross water easily but I
42:21
need you guys, I need vampire allies.
42:24
The werewolves have been trying to stop me at every turn
42:26
from stopping this.
42:27
Damn werewolves.
42:29
How shall they learn? Look, nothing
42:31
personal but can you guys cross bridges or something?
42:34
We may cross bridges but
42:36
us Dracula and Vampyr
42:39
must be in coffin as we are driven
42:41
across, or carriage to cross,
42:44
or cavee to cross. What
42:46
about an Uber? Oh yeah. We
42:48
can do that too? Oh great. Does anyone
42:50
have the app? Yeah. Oh
42:52
great. We can do check lift too to see if that will change anything.
42:55
Well you get one person to lift, one person
42:57
to Uber and we'll see what's cheaper and faster. My
42:59
phone
43:00
is the size of a grain of rice. Well
43:02
if you have it though.
43:04
Yes, it's actually really fast. It's
43:07
faster than anyone else's
43:08
phone. Because it's so small. I
43:11
don't have a phone because I'm underwater
43:13
all the time. Oh my gosh. You
43:15
know they make waterproof phones now. They
43:17
do?
43:18
Okay lift is for the, lift
43:20
is for the, it is for the, that
43:22
seems okay this time of night across the
43:24
river. Yeah I mean split five ways that's pretty good. That's
43:26
not bad. Just wait four ways I
43:29
don't have a wallet.
43:30
Gil? Gil? What?
43:33
My wallet is so small.
43:35
Big
43:38
Frank can you, alright alright call
43:40
just call it call it I'll figure it out later. Okay
43:43
Count Dracula, oh.
43:47
Confirms the lift. Lightning
43:49
strikes. You
43:54
watch as the car gets closer
43:57
and closer and closer takes a wrong
43:59
turn. No! It's getting further and
44:01
further away! And then it turns
44:03
back- Oh, it's corrected! It is coming back! It
44:05
is not- He's not pulling that move. He's coming back
44:07
this time. Okay, should I cancel and do a
44:09
new one? Oh no, it's- He's right there! He's moving-
44:11
You see the car. You see the little pink
44:14
symbol in the windshield. It
44:16
pulls up. Your lift is here.
44:18
Does it have a mustache on the front?
44:20
It does. Nice! Um,
44:23
okay, is this- Is this Tony?
44:26
This is Tony? The man with the big mustache
44:29
behind the car, he nods at you and says, Yes,
44:31
this is Tony.
44:33
Great. This is Count Dracula. Yes, this is the right-
44:35
Count Dracula, yes. He's going to the Natural History
44:38
Museum. Very good. Right
44:40
this way. And he opens the doors. So,
44:43
Count Dracula has to be in a coffin if
44:45
he's going to cross water. So, um, and so
44:47
this guy, he's been around so long, he's figured
44:49
out a bit of a trick for this. He
44:52
presses a button on his belt
44:54
and suddenly- Like
44:58
a sort of classic Iron Man costume, he
45:01
is now surrounded by a sort
45:03
of exoskeleton of a wooden
45:06
coffin, with which he walks and
45:08
sits in the lift and then
45:10
sort of nudges himself over to the far side. Tony
45:13
smirks and smiles to himself, only
45:16
in New York
45:17
and only on Halloween.
45:19
And could you just pop the trunk
45:22
for me? That's coffin-like enough.
45:24
That'll be fine. He pops the trunk, yes.
45:27
Dracula
45:28
floats horizontally over
45:31
the trunk, crosses his arms
45:34
over his chest, so that his fingers are touching
45:36
his shoulders. And he closes his eyes
45:38
and lowers down into the trunk.
45:42
And the lid shuts without the driver
45:44
in putting anything. Only
45:46
in New York and only on Halloween.
45:50
Guy thinks he's freaking Iron Man. He's the real Dracula.
45:54
Big Frank enters the car
45:57
unnoticed. She sort of hovers
45:59
up back- behind Tony and
46:02
she sniff at his neck
46:04
and she takes a taste.
46:05
You take a taste? Make
46:08
a blood roll. Oh my god. Yeah.
46:11
Oh my god.
46:12
I got, uh, I got
46:14
a tool and my number is okay.
46:16
That's a success. That's
46:19
a success. You successfully drink this man's blood.
46:21
Okay, she latches. You
46:23
latch. You're getting his blood. You're becoming
46:26
stronger and stronger. And what's
46:28
this? She's getting bigger.
46:30
Oh my god.
46:31
Gulp. Bigger. Gulp.
46:34
Bigger? She couldn't get
46:36
bigger though.
46:37
At this moment, she is now about
46:39
the size of, let's say, a thumb
46:42
and realizes she'll be noticed soon and also
46:44
that she can't drink the blood of this Uber driver
46:47
they have to get to the Natural
46:49
History Museum. So valiantly
46:51
she's done. Frank,
46:52
you're huge because you succeeded
46:54
on your blood roll and you're the size of a thumb now? The
46:56
size of a thumb now. You succeed on your blood roll.
46:59
You are able to resist the temptation to
47:01
keep drinking and turning this man. Oh
47:05
my goodness. You fall
47:08
back and you land in his open Altoids container,
47:10
which is shaped like a coffin. Perfect. And
47:13
it closes. Yeah, and he looks down at
47:15
the Altoids and he says, only in New
47:17
York and only on Halloween.
47:21
Come on, Caleb. Are you getting
47:23
in? Caleb gets in the cab. Caleb
47:26
gets in the cab. He laughs. Only
47:28
in New York and only Gilman. The
47:30
Gilman gets in the passenger
47:33
and like the he gets the shotgun.
47:35
Can I sit up here?
47:37
Only
47:39
in New York and only on Halloween. And
47:41
he he peels off. Yeah. Yeah.
47:45
Now we're going there. You guys
47:47
are getting there. The car is moving
47:49
and he he turns it to a radio
47:52
station that
47:54
you all recognize.
47:55
This is odd. He turns the dial.
47:57
He goes left, left, left.
47:59
Left, further and further left, until
48:02
you hear a voice say,
48:03
Hello, Halloween community. You're
48:05
listening to 66.6 The Black Cat. I'm
48:09
the Phantom of the Opera, coming at you
48:11
at the top of the hour with a request from Higatha
48:14
the Witch, who wants to dedicate this next
48:16
song to the only man who's always
48:18
been there for her through thick and thin.
48:21
That's right, her broom. Higatha,
48:23
I hope you enjoy
48:25
this next three minutes and 12 seconds.
48:28
Here it is, folks. Bobby Boris Pickett
48:30
and the Crypt Kickers, 1962 smash hit, The
48:34
Monster Mash. Awesome.
48:37
Tony begins snapping along. He
48:39
says, I just love this Halloween
48:41
music. But
48:44
only this time of year, Tony? No,
48:46
I love it. And he looks at you and there's
48:48
a wolfish look in his eyes and he says,
48:51
all year long. Keep your eyes on
48:53
the road. No. And at that he's
48:55
going to... He grabs the wheel
48:57
and he slams it hard to the right. You
49:00
guys are passing right now over
49:02
the 59th Street Bridge. And
49:04
he slams it to the right and the car... He's
49:07
driving now to the edge and it hits the
49:09
rail and the car goes flying off the
49:12
edge as the moonlight hits him and he
49:14
transforms into a werewolf. He
49:17
goes into Christ's Pose and he says, that's right, I've
49:19
been trailing Gil. I knew what he was going to
49:21
do. And I decided I would give my life to
49:23
kill you vampires and stop you from
49:25
stopping the mummy's curse. Dad? Caleb?
49:29
Oh my God, no, no, no, no, my son, my son.
49:31
He tries to grab the wheel and steer back but the car
49:33
is already airborne. Oh,
49:36
dad, no. Oh,
49:38
whoa. He changes the radio station
49:40
again to the cats in the cradle. He goes, no, my
49:42
son.
49:43
Dad, it's not worth it.
49:45
The vampires.
49:47
They're not so bad. Once you get
49:49
to know them... If only
49:51
your dead mother could hear you say that. How
49:54
dare you? You know what happened to her.
49:56
Vampires, a bunch of tiny ones ate
49:59
her. Yeah.
49:59
I remember, but...
50:01
She put one foot into Transylvania,
50:03
and it was like sticking a cow into the Amazon
50:05
and then pulling out a cow skeleton. Just a bunch
50:07
of piranha-like vampires ate her. How
50:10
dare you! We're falling, by the way!
50:13
Aaaah!
50:13
Feeling the, um, the jolt
50:16
of, uh, gravity changing, Big
50:18
Frank knocks her elbow to the top
50:20
of the Altoid tin and
50:22
cracks it open.
50:23
She flies out.
50:24
She's a little slow because she's full of blood
50:27
and bigger, but she's flying.
50:30
What are you doing? You're in a car that's t- that's- It's
50:32
tumbling down into the East River. What's gonna- What are
50:34
you gonna have? You only have several seconds to make a decision,
50:36
and you've gotta cross the water in a coffin. What
50:38
are you gonna do? Frank, wait a minute. You just
50:41
drank...
50:41
...werewolf blood. Huh? Oh!
50:44
Huh? Huh? Huh? Frank,
50:46
make a blood roll. Oh,
50:48
jeez. I
50:51
got a one!
50:52
Ugh! That's a success. So,
50:54
the Popeye the Sailor Man music plays as
50:56
you feel wolf blood pulsing
50:59
through all of your veins, uh, and
51:01
you feel the hair, the little, the, like, coarse mosquito
51:03
hair that you have. You feel like it's thicker, and
51:06
you feel your antenna reshape into, uh,
51:08
the curly devilish wolf ears, and
51:10
you howl at the moon. Ow!
51:13
Ow! Ow! Ooh!
51:17
Ow! She's doing it. Ow!
51:20
Ow! The car is still falling down
51:23
and down and down. Gil is looking around and
51:25
going, I hope you get a one-star review.
51:27
This is terrible. Heh. Heh. Heh.
51:30
What are the other vampires doing? Count Dracula
51:32
in his coffin exoskeleton
51:35
rolls out of the... rolls
51:37
out of the car, and then, hey, he's
51:39
had this for a while, suddenly, um,
51:42
an engine seems to, uh,
51:44
churn within his, his boots as...
51:48
Mmm! His coffin
51:52
is just like the old Iron Man suit where
51:54
he is able to propel himself, grabbing
51:57
the top of the car, and zooming
51:59
over.
51:59
the river like a plane? It's
52:03
an Iron Man! Tim, can you make a culture
52:05
roll for me? Yes. Yeah,
52:09
this is a really cultured move of you. I got a 2. You
52:13
got a 2? I'm a 4. You
52:16
hear the sputtering of your coffin and
52:18
you realize what you had actually designed
52:20
was a cool looking coffin. You are not
52:23
like a machinist of any
52:25
caliber or like an engineer. You do
52:27
not have any sort of mechanical know-how and it
52:29
sputters and you fall down into the water.
52:32
No! Six
52:34
weeks
52:35
now of searching for my
52:37
wife, lost in this corn maze. The
52:39
All Hallows charm long gone. The nip
52:41
of autumn sours and winter's breath licks
52:44
my skin, making it hard to sleep at
52:46
night. If I were home, I'd be tucked
52:48
into my temperature regulating silver infused
52:50
bed sheets by Miraclemade that were inspired
52:53
by NASA.
52:54
Miracle sheets are luxuriously comfortable with
52:56
other high price tag of other luxury brands and
52:58
feel nicer than sheets used by some 5 star
53:00
hotels. Way nicer than this frostbitten
53:03
farmland. Using silver infused
53:05
fabrics inspired by NASA, Miraclemade
53:08
sheets are thermoregulating and designed to keep you
53:10
at the perfect temperature all night long. In
53:12
here, there's a scarecrow that moves when
53:14
I close my eyes. I hope my
53:16
Miraclemade sheets are doing okay at home without
53:18
me.
53:19
At least I know they're infused with silver that prevents
53:21
up to 99.7% of bacterial growth,
53:24
leaving them to stay cleaner and fresh three times
53:26
longer than other sheets.
53:28
No wretched stink, and no sleeping
53:30
on bacteria. Bacteria can clog your
53:32
pores, causing breakouts and acne.
53:35
Sleep clean with Miracle.
53:36
If you haven't lost your spouse in a corn maze,
53:39
Miracle sheets make the perfect gift for them. Who
53:41

54:29
if you want. I won't tell. I'll be
54:31
trapped in a corn maze. Darling,
54:33
where are you?
54:38
No! The car has
54:41
hit the water. Dracula I, what are you gonna do?
54:43
Dracula I pounds the
54:45
inside of the trunk and, what's going
54:48
on up there? Caleb is going
54:50
to smash the passenger window,
54:53
and even though he's gonna fight against
54:55
the water pouring into the window,
54:58
using some incredible strength, he
55:00
forces his way through the window and
55:02
into the river. As he does, he
55:05
takes that silver locket from
55:07
around his neck and puts it in his pocket, severing
55:10
the skin-to-skin contact he had with
55:13
the trinket. As he does, that
55:15
full moon shines, and Caleb
55:17
transforms. He's
55:20
a little different, though, than his father, who we
55:22
saw earlier transformed into a truly monstrous
55:25
and bestial werewolf. There's
55:27
a lot more humanity to Caleb's werewolf.
55:30
He sort of looks more like a wolf-man
55:33
hybrid. He also grows
55:36
in size. You can see pronounced
55:38
abs through his tank top. He's
55:40
got a very expressive human face
55:43
and a really big tail. Would you
55:45
say, Joe, that he looks almost
55:47
as if he was designed, like the authorial
55:50
voice of him as an unbelievably horny
55:52
Mormon person invented him? Brett,
55:55
I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you
55:57
very much, Joe. That made me feel very- So
56:00
now with Caleb's impressive,
56:03
impressive arms, he grabs
56:05
onto the hood of the lift
56:07
and he starts doggy paddling towards
56:10
Manhattan. You are moving the car.
56:12
Can you make a wolf roll for me?
56:15
Yeah. I got a three again. I got
56:17
my number. Shit! So
56:19
not only does this work, but you get
56:21
to ask me a question. Um, will
56:24
Dad ever forgive me?
56:25
There's nothing to forgive.
56:27
He's mad at you, but a father's
56:29
love is infinite.
56:31
So count Dracula. You were in your coffin
56:33
and the coffin hit the water. Yeah, so he is floating
56:36
in his incredible exoskeleton
56:38
coffin in the water, so he is not
56:41
on the car that you have. But luckily
56:43
you do feel yourself moving forward
56:46
and from outside you hear a voice say, I'm
56:48
helping the plot! Gil! I
56:51
can swim! It's my main thing! Gil,
56:55
I will grant you this evening to be an honorary
56:58
vampir because of your aid
57:00
to me, the king of vampir, Count
57:02
Dracula. I can't hear what you're saying
57:04
in there. There's a lot of splashing! Right.
57:07
Then I shall be quiet, unless you would
57:09
choir some music for your swim, in
57:11
which case I will be happy to see. You
57:14
and me, we used to be together,
57:17
every day together, always.
57:21
I really feel... You hit the east
57:23
side of Manhattan with a thud. Oh!
57:27
You're all able to get out of the water.
57:29
Caleb, you see, with
57:32
your incredibly good sharpened wolf-like
57:34
senses, you see your father had swum
57:36
to the other side of the East River.
57:39
You see him shaking off. Yeah, Caleb does too. He shakes off really fast. They
57:43
both shake off. That was big Frank. He
57:45
nods to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Count Dracula stands up
57:47
and then his exoskeleton coffins
57:50
sort of like the flash's costume
57:52
into the ring sort of is sucked back into
57:54
his belt buckle. Still holding on to this
57:57
moment, Caleb looks across to his father
57:59
and nods. His father nods, too. He
58:02
will not help you, but he will not stop you. Henceforth.
58:05
The trunk of the lift
58:08
opens with the creak
58:11
of a hundred-year-old castle
58:13
door. And from within
58:16
emerges drackeloch,
58:18
like at a perfect tilt from
58:21
his ankles, you know, completely
58:23
stiff as he stands up straight. Ah,
58:26
we've made it to Muhamstirdam. Yes.
58:32
That is classic dracula. Let
58:34
me give you a hand.
58:36
Thank you, dracula. Thank
58:38
you, dracula. My
58:41
pleasure, dracula.
58:42
It is a problem, dracula.
58:45
Well, well, well, what
58:47
do we have here? And you see
58:49
now that waiting for you, you're surrounded by
58:52
a group of five werewolf tuffs.
58:54
They all have leather jackets. One
58:56
of them has like, he's combing his hair
58:59
back with a switchblade comb. One
59:01
of them's flipping a coin. They
59:04
all howl at the moon menacingly. These
59:06
are not hot wolves. These are like mangy guys
59:08
dressed like greasers.
59:10
Big Frank says, in for a penny.
59:13
And she sprints
59:14
towards the closest one and runs up his
59:16
pant leg and bites on his calf.
59:18
Yeah. Oh, boy, my
59:20
calf, my valuable
59:23
calf. And
59:27
he screams. Can you make a blood roll for me?
59:29
I'd love to. Yes.
59:32
Okay. Oh, I got my number. I got
59:34
my number. You can do. How
59:37
did you want this to go?
59:39
So at this point, she needs to just
59:41
now get bigger. I feel like she's ready
59:43
to be like, okay, a fight's coming. And
59:45
I'm not
59:46
going to be helpful as tiny, big
59:48
Frank. So I need to turn into big, big
59:50
Frank.
59:51
So she wants to drain him entirely.
59:54
You do. And you get to ask me a question.
59:57
Yeah. What's the mummy's figure?
59:59
biggest weakness in this world. Oh,
1:00:02
that's a great question.
1:00:04
Um, water.
1:00:06
Oh yeah, desert. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah,
1:00:08
they want it to be desert conditions, water will absolutely
1:00:10
take them out.
1:00:11
So Big Frank slurps all
1:00:14
the blood
1:00:14
out of one of the werewolf, explodes, obviously
1:00:17
exploding out of his pants, as
1:00:19
she gets bigger and bigger, and now
1:00:21
she's the size of almost a
1:00:23
full-size person.
1:00:24
She's like, well, she's like, okay. She's
1:00:27
like a pipsqueak. She's like a pipsqueak. She's
1:00:29
like a coochie size.
1:00:30
Yes, exactly. So she attacks,
1:00:32
she just tackles the next
1:00:33
one. So all of his accoutrement,
1:00:35
all of his leather jackets and
1:00:38
hair gel and stuff, it explodes off of him and it lands
1:00:40
on you. Yeah. And he's just like a
1:00:42
husk on the ground going, ah,
1:00:44
give me a break.
1:00:45
And he just, he dies. Yeah.
1:00:48
Yeah, you attack the next werewolf. He
1:00:50
had a bat with nails in it. He's going to take
1:00:52
a swing at you because you're not as tall as he was expecting
1:00:54
you to be. It goes right over your head. And you lunge at him. What
1:00:57
do you do? I drink his blood.
1:01:00
You're getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Make
1:01:02
another blood roll for me.
1:01:04
Hell yeah. Okay. Um,
1:01:06
two. I got a, that's great. It's
1:01:09
a success.
1:01:10
You hollow him out again. You're tall
1:01:12
now. You're like a tall guy now. Yeah. If
1:01:15
he goes, ah, gee whiz, and he dies also. Yay. And
1:01:18
now there are only three werewolves left. They
1:01:20
look back and forth at each other and they look at you,
1:01:23
Caleb, and they say, why,
1:01:25
if it isn't Judas Iscariot, Oh,
1:01:28
um, do you mean the, why not listen
1:01:30
to the one. Sorry. You're
1:01:33
a million miles away. This is why you
1:01:35
never could cut it as a werewolf. You're thinking about others.
1:01:38
You're thinking about your lost love. Well,
1:01:41
yeah, but I just get confused when
1:01:43
people call me by a different
1:01:45
name. After all, earlier tonight, I met a bartender
1:01:48
with that same last name. Oh yeah. That
1:01:51
is narratively confusing.
1:01:53
And you look at a minor amount
1:01:55
of prep for these episodes could solve problems like
1:01:57
that. But, but no.
1:01:59
But here's- I wasn't even
1:02:02
busy. Just no. Just didn't
1:02:04
wanna. But brothers, don't you understand? Just
1:02:06
because you're allied with the Mummies, doesn't
1:02:08
mean this is good for werewolves. If the Mummies
1:02:11
get their way, well, there'll be nothing
1:02:13
left for you. Werewolves
1:02:15
thrive in forest, not desert. Yeah,
1:02:18
we're not gonna live here. We're gonna go live
1:02:20
in Jersey. They're gonna make the whole world a desert.
1:02:23
Oh please, I'm sure once they get a taste
1:02:25
of power, they'll stop. Boys,
1:02:28
listen to yourselves. Make a culture
1:02:30
roll. I failed,
1:02:32
I got a two. They say, no, we
1:02:34
don't wanna listen to ourselves, and we don't
1:02:36
wanna listen to you. Instead, and while the
1:02:39
Mummies pull a gun out and aim it at your head,
1:02:41
we wanna kill all of you. He
1:02:44
fires. Can you make a wolf roll for
1:02:46
me? Okay, so
1:02:48
my number is three. I rolled a one.
1:02:51
That's bad news, Caleb. He
1:02:54
shoots your ear clean off. Oh!
1:02:57
Caleb, he aims the next one at your
1:02:59
ear. He fires again at your other ear.
1:03:02
He fires again. I'm doing the thing from
1:03:04
the Princess Bride. Oh no, wait! You're
1:03:06
supposed to leave the ears! Oh
1:03:08
shoot! Oh, divide it! The first thing
1:03:11
I did! Ah jeez! They're
1:03:13
distracted. But the rage
1:03:16
inside of Caleb
1:03:18
from getting his first ear shot off takes
1:03:20
over, and that primal bestial
1:03:23
nature surges even greater,
1:03:25
and he grows. He grows into an absurdly
1:03:28
tall version of the werewolf
1:03:30
he already was. He hulks out. Incredible.
1:03:34
Make a wolf roll for me. I got my number. I
1:03:36
got a three. So not only does this work, but you
1:03:38
tell me how the next one minute goes.
1:03:40
Yeah, Caleb grabs the remaining,
1:03:42
what are the three? Grabs the remaining werewolves
1:03:45
all by the neck, and then
1:03:48
he lifts up underneath them. There's a big subway
1:03:50
grate, and he rips it from the sidewalk,
1:03:53
and he throws them down just
1:03:55
as an oncoming four
1:03:58
train. Nice,
1:03:58
Caleb!
1:03:59
That is the train! You
1:04:02
know where you are! Going uptown smashes
1:04:05
them. You notice though that one of them
1:04:07
falls strangely and you see a pair
1:04:09
of sunglasses connected to nothing. Look
1:04:12
up and it says to you, It's me, the
1:04:14
Invisible Man! I am also in this episode
1:04:16
and he's also hit by the train. Ah, it was evil, it's okay!
1:04:18
Barry! Ah,
1:04:20
you know, what are you gonna do? Uh, his blood
1:04:22
was visible. They're all, they're destroyed by the train. I've
1:04:25
never had to take a werewolf life
1:04:27
before. Gil looks around. He
1:04:29
says, Oh no, there's just gonna be more and
1:04:31
more of them if we know we're coming. We
1:04:33
gotta get some allies. But who
1:04:36
shall ally with the Vampyr? This
1:04:38
man is in love with us. I've no
1:04:40
one else. Wait, I've got an idea. And
1:04:43
Caleb looks down to that hole he's just ripped,
1:04:45
you know, into the subway tunnels. And
1:04:47
he calls out, It's
1:04:50
goo time! And from
1:04:52
the subway tunnel emerges the
1:04:55
blob. Oh
1:04:57
yeah! The
1:05:00
blob emerges from the subway
1:05:02
tunnel and says, What's up guys?
1:05:05
Blob, once I saved your life
1:05:07
and you promised me a blood debt. Now
1:05:10
I call that favor in. Will you
1:05:12
stand with us and oppose the darkest mummies?
1:05:15
I thought I'd never hear from you
1:05:17
again. It's been quite a 72
1:05:20
hours since you've served my life.
1:05:23
I'll do anything I can to help
1:05:25
you. Thanks Blob. End of time.
1:05:28
And he begins slowly turning forward,
1:05:30
just like moving like molasses.
1:05:32
We're going to the Natural History Museum. Okay.
1:05:36
He moves through, he's like picking up taxis and just
1:05:38
like absorbing them into himself. Onlookers
1:05:40
are screaming, he goes, Shush, shush, no,
1:05:42
no, come on. And he grabs them and absorbs
1:05:45
them into himself too. They're just like, they disintegrate
1:05:47
in front of you. So does it take sense
1:05:50
to drive there? Or it might even be faster
1:05:52
just to take the subway if we go...
1:05:54
We can just ride Blob. He won't absorb us. Okay,
1:05:57
we just go across the park? Yeah. He'll just
1:05:59
go straight across the park. We arrived the blob you
1:06:01
ride the blob You do and
1:06:04
he allowed he doesn't absorb you it turns out the blob
1:06:06
was what not only was the blob alive The
1:06:09
blob was sentient and the blob could determine
1:06:11
what it wanted to absorb and not absorb It's
1:06:13
getting bigger and bigger as it absorbs Just
1:06:16
like people hanging out. There's like a couple having
1:06:19
their first kiss in the park There's
1:06:21
trick-or-treaters moving through Central Park
1:06:23
just sort of enjoying the night fall
1:06:25
on beyond all of them are killed as the blob
1:06:27
moves forward Churning it sucks
1:06:30
up trees and swing sets
1:06:32
and the the the horse drawn carriage
1:06:35
It's the horse is freed, but the cruel
1:06:37
man whipping the horse He's absorbed
1:06:39
into it Oh a moral victory for rude
1:06:41
tales of magics as the blob continues churning
1:06:44
across the park Well, I guess you're hungry blob.
1:06:46
I'm always hungry Tell
1:06:48
us Caleb, how about you save this strange
1:06:51
creatures life 72 hours ago? He's
1:06:54
allergic to citrus all that
1:06:57
he's such a problem if there's so many good things Yeah,
1:06:59
and I
1:06:59
have an EpiPen that explains why
1:07:02
he isn't feeding all the
1:07:04
time. There's so much citrus
1:07:07
Doesn't even have to be marked as an allergen. It
1:07:09
is a natural place It's
1:07:12
true counter ocular your wisdom
1:07:14
in stone. She's me counter ocular.
1:07:17
Look we're here. Thank you come to So
1:07:19
as you as you say that you've moved through the park
1:07:22
you realize you you see famous
1:07:24
probably the most powerful allies to the vampires
1:07:27

1:07:27

1:07:28
famous

1:08:52
A Big
1:08:55
Frank reaches the Frankenstein

1:09:51
an alley and around the back you walk in through
1:09:53
the kitchen
1:09:54
and you walk into the Copa fire
1:09:57
Badna and and then he kissed
1:09:59
me starts playing
1:09:59
He leads you through and you see all
1:10:02
of the different Frankenstein. He
1:10:04
goes, that's Polly Big Shoes.
1:10:06
Polly Big Shoes nods at you and says, they're
1:10:09
too big. That's Joey
1:10:11
the neck. Joey doesn't turn.
1:10:13
He says, I don't even look at you, but
1:10:15
my neck is too big. That's
1:10:18
Volpe. You see a tiny little Frankenstein.
1:10:20
Pull your left hand. That's the bride.
1:10:24
And you see the boss
1:10:26
that Volpe was talking to. And it's the bride of Frankenstein
1:10:29
with her shriek of white hair. She
1:10:31
looks at you and she says, John. You
1:10:34
see, he says, that's Tommy Shoulders.
1:10:36
Tommy Shoulders says, hey, those ain't
1:10:38
shoulder pants, sweetheart. That's
1:10:40
zero times Dino. They call him
1:10:43
that on account of he says everything zero
1:10:45
time. Hey Dino, what's new? Dino
1:10:48
nods. That's Jamie the whale. A
1:10:53
slender Frankenstein nods at
1:10:56
you and says, I'm actually a little bit too big. I'm actually rather
1:10:58
slender. It's a reference. And that's Marty big
1:11:00
brain. They
1:11:03
call him that because his brain's too big
1:11:05
for his head. He's not smart at all.
1:11:07
And you see a Frankenstein clutching the sides of
1:11:09
his head going. No. Oh,
1:11:12
wow. Boys,
1:11:20
boys, you hate mummies,
1:11:22
don't you? Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're
1:11:24
making a commotion in the Copa fire bad
1:11:27
enough. All of the Frankenstein's turned you
1:11:29
all of the mad scientists who have been like waiting
1:11:31
on them. They're the waiters here. Oh,
1:11:33
yeah. Those are called Frankenstein's
1:11:36
doctor. Fuck. That's
1:11:38
good. All of the Frankenstein's doctors. They
1:11:40
turn one of them drops the drink. And
1:11:43
I need you to make a culture role
1:11:46
with disadvantage. You don't just walk into
1:11:48
the Copa fire bad now and do this.
1:11:50
Oh,
1:11:51
I got a success in a failure. So
1:11:54
you're gonna have to take
1:11:56
that failure. Oh,
1:11:58
Tommy Shoulder stands.
1:11:59
up
1:12:00
and you see now as he moves he wasn't lying
1:12:03
those ain't shoulder pads baby those
1:12:05
are big shoulders he starts walking
1:12:07
towards you and he says we got
1:12:09
a problem here
1:12:11
no I just figured you would hate mummies
1:12:13
since they've been talking so much
1:12:15
shit about you guys I'll tell you what else
1:12:18
I hate is werewolves and I see
1:12:20
one and he looks at uh frank
1:12:23
he goes uh and a half werewolves
1:12:25
standing in front of me right now give
1:12:28
me one good and he starts cracking his knuckles
1:12:31
and it makes all sorts of different sounds it's all different
1:12:33
people's knuckles give me one
1:12:35
good reason why I shouldn't turn
1:12:38
you into mince me the mummies have been
1:12:40
going around saying they're better than you because
1:12:43
you know they're all one person and you're all
1:12:45
bits and bobs oh I didn't
1:12:47
like that buddy you better
1:12:49
be telling the truth because if you made that up
1:12:52
I'm gonna kick your ass and
1:12:54
a bunch of other frankenstein start walking towards
1:12:56
you can you make another culture roll yeah
1:13:01
I got my number you got your number yeah
1:13:03
okay so they all start walking
1:13:06
towards you and then they part and
1:13:08
you see the bride she's sitting at her
1:13:10
table and she waves you over sit
1:13:13
down over here and you get to ask me a question
1:13:16
um is the bride single whoa
1:13:18
famously
1:13:20
yeah she rejected frankenstein yeah
1:13:22
a bit of a spoiler yeah
1:13:26
when Caleb takes the bride in he gets
1:13:28
a feeling he's only ever felt with a
1:13:30
vampir she's a
1:13:32
vision she's electric she
1:13:35
turns her head like a bird and she because she gives you
1:13:37
her hand to to kiss um
1:13:40
you know he's still in werewolf form he gives it like a big lick
1:13:43
hot this is fucking hot shit sorry
1:13:45
but
1:13:46
this is hot shit
1:13:48
dude I'm ready
1:13:50
uh this is a historic day don't
1:13:53
worry I'd recognize you anywhere
1:13:55
Caleb Black you
1:13:57
know my name I know you
1:13:59
switched side. It's my job to
1:14:01
be informed. I always know what's
1:14:04
going on. That's why Marty Bigbrains,
1:14:06
that's why I pay him the big bucks to tell me what's
1:14:08
going on. Last I heard, my
1:14:12
skull, my brain's too big. So
1:14:14
yeah, I'm tapped into what's happened. This
1:14:18
is not the time to stay on the sidelines. Look,
1:14:21
werewolves, vampires, black
1:14:23
lagoon creatures, and the blob have
1:14:25
allied together to oppose the threat
1:14:27
that the mummies oppose. Gill leans in
1:14:29
and he goes, I'm the only creature from the black
1:14:32
lagoon. I'm not part of a community. The
1:14:36
bride, she takes all of this in.
1:14:38
She goes, I
1:14:39
don't know.
1:14:40
Society has never been very welcoming
1:14:43
to us Frankenstein.
1:14:44
I'm sure we could help you win this war,
1:14:46
but I
1:14:47
don't know.
1:14:48
Humans have always hated us and feared
1:14:51
us. They carry pitchforks and torches
1:14:53
wherever
1:14:53
we go. They hunt us down. Big
1:14:56
Frank says, sand.
1:14:58
There's no way Frankenstein's like
1:15:01
sand. The Frankensians begin
1:15:03
looking around. They say sand bad, sand
1:15:05
bad, sand bad. They have so
1:15:07
many open wounds. Plus if
1:15:09
it's sandy, it's really dry. So that means
1:15:11
the chance of fire is greater.
1:15:14
Fire worse, fire worse,
1:15:17
fire worse. They're smashing drinks.
1:15:20
One of them just picks up a Frankenstein's doctor
1:15:22
and rips it in half. Fire worse, fire
1:15:25
worse. The bride
1:15:27
with a single gesture, she quiets everyone down.
1:15:30
Whoa.
1:15:31
All right, you've laid out the danger. But
1:15:33
why don't we just get out of here?
1:15:35
Why should we help you?
1:15:37
Charming as you are. Caleb
1:15:40
gets on one knee. I do. Oh,
1:15:46
is this not I was going to make a formal
1:15:48
appeal. So he looks sharply to
1:15:51
the left. She goes, nevermind.
1:15:53
Then he places a werewolf paw on her
1:15:55
chin and turns her face back to him. She's
1:15:58
beautiful. I
1:16:00
do too. Ah! Ah!
1:16:03
Blur! We now pronounce
1:16:05
you.
1:16:06
Wait. Hahahaha. Hahahaha.
1:16:09
Under the eyes of the Dark Lord and
1:16:12
the parasitic vampiric
1:16:14
strain that infects us,
1:16:17
by that power we pronounce you
1:16:19
man and boy.
1:16:21
The Frankenstein cheer. They say, ceremony
1:16:24
good! Ceremony good!
1:16:26
And they begin. One of them smashes a light
1:16:29
bulb and they cheer. They say, light
1:16:31
bulb bad! Light bulb bad!
1:16:34
They lift you guys up on chairs and she says,
1:16:37
alright, alright.
1:16:38
Then it's agreed.
1:16:40
The Frankenstein's will ally
1:16:42
with you, the vampires, two
1:16:44
werewolves, and the creature from the Black
1:16:47
Lagoon as well as the blob and we
1:16:49
will fight the Mummy's curse. Sorry,
1:16:51
Cois. Thank you, bride.
1:16:53
This is when you realize
1:16:55
that Big Frank, who had been sort of out
1:16:57
of scene, has been eating Frankenstein's
1:17:00
doctors left and right and is now
1:17:03
Alice in Wonderlanding through
1:17:05
like the windows
1:17:07
and the, you know.
1:17:09
And so she picks up the entire
1:17:11
club and
1:17:12
begins walking with them towards
1:17:14
the National History Museum. Wow. You
1:17:17
easily catch up with the blob who was also moving
1:17:20
forward. And now the entire Copa Fire
1:17:22
Badgeman, you all
1:17:24
descend
1:17:25
on the Museum
1:17:27
of Natural History.
1:17:29
You look up at it and it's transformed.
1:17:31
It's no longer shaped the way it once was. Now
1:17:33
it's a damned pyramid! What?
1:17:37
Blah! It points
1:17:39
to the sky and dark circles
1:17:41
swirl overhead. But
1:17:43
you realize that those aren't circles, those aren't clouds
1:17:46
or anything. It's sand. The
1:17:48
sand is swirling above you already.
1:17:51
It's begun. The temperature, it rises.
1:17:54
The barometric pressure, it does something.
1:17:56
I think it raises the humidity. It
1:17:58
lowers.
1:17:59
it gets drier and drier and drier
1:18:02
you are in desert like conditions now
1:18:04
the creature from the black lagoon gill goes oh
1:18:07
no what is this the
1:18:10
loove the doors
1:18:12
open and an enormous sphinx
1:18:16
flies
1:18:19
out at you screaming die die
1:18:21
die it's gonna firebomb
1:18:24
you counter dragon takes out his elephant
1:18:27
um and he wait
1:18:33
yeah Caleb places a
1:18:35
hand on the elephant gun and says no we
1:18:37
don't need it and then he looks at the sphinx and says
1:18:40
man the sphinx explode i
1:18:42
think
1:18:47
frank hasn't heard the riddle and
1:18:49
she goes
1:18:50
wow she's such a feminist
1:18:56
dracula goes what
1:18:59
is a man but a miserable pile
1:19:02
of secrets
1:19:03
good paul good paul real
1:19:05
dracula heads no yes i say
1:19:07
that too that is it is that
1:19:10
yeah what yeah dracula when did you say
1:19:12
it when did you say it who did you say it when i
1:19:14
got my gun engraved and he
1:19:16
shows him the elephant gun and on that long
1:19:19
long um uh barrel
1:19:22
uh yeah you can see that exact phrase
1:19:24
uh carved in uh-huh feels like
1:19:26
one of these dracula's is much more familiar with castlevania
1:19:29
video games
1:19:31
while the other is much more familiar with pulp
1:19:33
comics but
1:19:36
beach while he's beach i would argue the
1:19:38
first one is also pretty familiar with pulp comics yeah
1:19:43
but the other is also familiar with them
1:19:47
the pyramid begins to rumble and rumble
1:19:49
and you hear a voice say are you quite
1:19:52
done a
1:19:54
pyramid the talk and
1:19:56
you realize the voice is simply coming from
1:19:58
inside the pyramid is Sand moves
1:20:01
out of the pyramid and a large face
1:20:04
forms a face 10 stories
1:20:06
tall Forms in the sand and it speaks
1:20:08
to you and says beware
1:20:10
the mummies curse Fools
1:20:13
you would defy me We're going
1:20:15
to turn all of New York City
1:20:18
into sand and from there the world
1:20:21
We're going to turn the entire world
1:20:24
into sand
1:20:25
and that's our plan Not if V
1:20:28
can help it for don't you
1:20:30
see a world of sand
1:20:33
is not a space for us monsters
1:20:35
on
1:20:35
Halloween
1:20:37
Love matters on the
1:20:39
Halloween. We are all together
1:20:41
as monsters on Halloween Children
1:20:44
can see us on this day if next come
1:20:46
a Halloween comes around and you have gotten
1:20:48
your choice There
1:20:49
will be none of us less
1:20:51
No, mommy
1:20:52
be a million scarab beetles at you. Oh Um
1:20:57
count Dracula holds up his hand these
1:20:59
are vermin these scarab beetles He
1:21:01
has control over them as well
1:21:04
his palm flexes his long Fingers
1:21:07
that seem to sparkle as he turns
1:21:10
his hand over beckoning them
1:21:12
into his palm
1:21:14
Big Frank goes to
1:21:16
big Frank's mosquito instincts also
1:21:19
kick in
1:21:19
mosquitoes are women Yeah, yeah,
1:21:21
mosquitoes are women. Oh, I'm pretty comfortable
1:21:23
saying it Nursing
1:21:25
a bite right now. They're vermin Tim. Can
1:21:28
you make a blood roll for me
1:21:30
gladly?
1:21:32
Who hey
1:21:33
that's gonna that works you
1:21:35
have dominion over the scarabs. What would you like them
1:21:38
now? We keep it reasonable. You didn't get your blood culture,
1:21:40
but you you know, you can they can they're gonna listen
1:21:42
to you so what
1:21:45
the scarabs do is they all stack
1:21:48
up one on top of the other on
1:21:51
My hand so they are
1:21:53
about that with the amount of them they are about as
1:21:55
tall as big Frank It's
1:21:58
a lot of scarabs. Yeah Okay,
1:22:00
what are you gonna do with them? They're stacked, you've got
1:22:02
a stack of scarabs. There's still, like,
1:22:05
hundreds of thousands of more swarming around you,
1:22:07
but you've got a stack of them. You also notice,
1:22:09
by the way, that none of them are actually attacking
1:22:12
you or your comrades. They seem constitutionally
1:22:14
unable to, because you do control vermin.
1:22:17
Ah... Scarab. I
1:22:19
believe it is time for all of you... ...to
1:22:21
get VET. Go into
1:22:23
the Vata! Though this time...
1:22:26
...this time go into the Hut. The
1:22:28
scarabs fly off, and they begin flying
1:22:30
to the Hudson. And they fly in
1:22:32
there and they drown. Oh no, you've created
1:22:34
an ecological disaster. The scarabs
1:22:36
begin drowning in the Hudson River, but
1:22:39
they are not bothering you anymore. The
1:22:41
pyramid, it shudders, and
1:22:43
a large face in the sand. It
1:22:45
says, okay, well...
1:22:48
Dracula, that's it.
1:22:50
Vata. And Dracula
1:22:52
looks up to the dark skies,
1:22:55
and turns into mist, and
1:22:58
shoots up.
1:22:59
It looks like... it's like filmed footage.
1:23:02
It clearly was shot in water, and then the footage
1:23:04
was reversed to, like, get the mist to go up
1:23:07
into the sky. And then it joins
1:23:09
with the clouds and starts swirling
1:23:11
around. Water condenses.
1:23:14
Thunder crackles. And
1:23:17
little droplets start to fall.
1:23:19
No. That's right. Dracula is agitating
1:23:22
the rain in mist form. The clouds,
1:23:24
they go, ah, come on. Oh, jeez, dude.
1:23:27
Oh, you're agitating me. Rain.
1:23:31
I, Lord of the
1:23:33
Undead, gentlemen
1:23:36
of the elements, command you. Rain.
1:23:39
Rain for me. We cut to
1:23:42
trick-or-treating children all over the city. They
1:23:44
all go, aww. And
1:23:47
their parents, they look up and they say, it looks
1:23:49
like rain. I'm sorry, children,
1:23:51
but Halloween is canceled this year. Guess
1:23:54
we'll have to go home and do our homework.
1:23:57
That's the only option, even though
1:23:59
this year, Halloween falls on a Friday.
1:24:01
What a tragic Halloween to get rained
1:24:03
out. Oh my child. I pity
1:24:06
you What was that and we the camera goes
1:24:08
back now to Dracula in the clouds? Yeah,
1:24:10
his face is formed in the clouds
1:24:13
You can see like lightning forms
1:24:15
like in the black gaps that
1:24:17
form his eyeballs So it's like like flashing
1:24:20
and he's like and I declare you
1:24:23
will enjoy your candy on subtlety Make
1:24:26
a culture roll. I Got
1:24:29
the five that is
1:24:32
a success The
1:24:34
children of New York City they look up to you
1:24:36
and you've harmed them the
1:24:38
children believe in Dracula They believe
1:24:41
in the creature from the black lagoon. They believe in
1:24:43
the werewolves They believe in it all and they concentrate
1:24:46
and they send all of their energy and all
1:24:48
of their power to help you It does nothing
1:24:51
children don't possess magic I do Yes,
1:24:56
Dracula is basically the
1:24:59
Santa Claus of Halloween we know
1:25:02
You really are but it does it
1:25:04
does begin raining it begins raining gently
1:25:07
at first It's just a bit of a myth that kind of rain we're
1:25:09
like, I'll be fine I'll keep walking
1:25:11
that kind of rain But it gets heavier
1:25:14
and heavier and heavier and the the pyramid
1:25:16
here at shake again and mummies begin walking
1:25:19
out now Towards you guys. They're a lines
1:25:21
and lines of mummies. They're all walking towards
1:25:23
you
1:25:24
the mommy's curse Beware
1:25:26
the mommy's curse, but as the water hits them they
1:25:28
begin to unravel still more
1:25:30
and more and more come out You're not out of the woods yet.
1:25:33
This is time for a Calvary
1:25:35
to strike
1:25:36
Frankenstein
1:25:38
with the water here. They cannot
1:25:41
curse you with flame attack
1:25:43
attack the moment The bride
1:25:46
breaks away from an embrace with Caleb later
1:25:50
later And she's
1:25:53
Frankenstein's attack attack and the
1:25:55
Frankenstein's begin tearing off. They
1:25:57
have they have Tommy guns and they're just firing
1:26:00
on the, so it's the scene from
1:26:03
the end of the Godfather where
1:26:05
Michael is renouncing Satan and you're seeing
1:26:08
they're just like they're shooting mummies through the glasses.
1:26:11
There's a mummy in the bathtub. They're just like they're trapping
1:26:13
one mummy in the revolving doors
1:26:15
and they just gun him down as the
1:26:18
Frankenstein's descend on the mummies. It's working.
1:26:21
It's working. The tides of battle have almost turned.
1:26:23
You've almost got this, but still more
1:26:25
and more mummies begins to pour out
1:26:27
of this pyramid and the face
1:26:29
in the sand begins to melt away and
1:26:32
it's just a floating skull in the sky that
1:26:34
says, no, no, no, no.
1:26:37
Far on the horizon,
1:26:40
Big Frank sees something that no one
1:26:42
else has yet noticed. Godzilla
1:26:44
is
1:26:44
making his way into
1:26:47
the fray and
1:26:49
as the clouds above the
1:26:51
buffer start to part
1:26:54
as the raid is coming down, the
1:26:57
full moon shines upon her
1:26:58
and she submits to it. Not only
1:27:00
is she huge, but she becomes huge
1:27:02
and even more wolfish and she
1:27:05
runs off
1:27:06
over the horizon to fight a battle
1:27:09
that is off screen.
1:27:10
So we don't
1:27:12
have the budget for her. We don't have, those
1:27:14
were not high budget. Those are guys, pretty cheap. We
1:27:16
don't even have that budget. But look,
1:27:19
she's doing it. Oh my gosh. Oh
1:27:21
no. But she's,
1:27:24
oh yes, that's it. She's doing it.
1:27:27
She's really doing it.
1:27:30
The pyramid begins to shake and
1:27:32
shake and it reforms into
1:27:34
the natural history museum, but the
1:27:36
skull in the sky is still flying around
1:27:39
and it, it shrieks and
1:27:41
it says, this isn't over. This
1:27:44
isn't over. This isn't over. I still live.
1:27:46
And as long as I live, I can
1:27:48
come back. I can find another museum
1:27:51
and I can turn the mummies there again. And
1:27:53
just as he is saying this
1:27:55
speech, flying through
1:27:58
the air off a ramp in the middle of Central
1:28:00
Park. There drives a
1:28:02
lift. Driven,
1:28:05
we zoom in by Caleb's father, Tony.
1:28:08
As he sails through the air, they nod
1:28:10
at each other, and then the lift
1:28:12
collides with the skull.
1:28:15
There's an explosion. The
1:28:17
skull
1:28:18
is destroyed.
1:28:20
The lift is destroyed.
1:28:23
Tony
1:28:24
falls harmlessly to the ground. Dad!
1:28:28
Son! Ow! I hit the ground! Oh,
1:28:32
you were fine, though. Yeah, I am. Werewolves,
1:28:34
we're resilient. Listen, I know
1:28:36
you didn't always approve of me
1:28:39
being with a vampire, but I've
1:28:42
got some news. What's that? Well,
1:28:45
I'd like you to meet my wife.
1:28:48
The bride of Frankenstein, she puts a hand out. She says,
1:28:50
Charmed, I'm sure. He bows.
1:28:53
He says, Your Majesty.
1:28:55
And he says, and Caleb, I
1:28:57
have news for you. Your mother,
1:29:00
she wasn't skeletonized by a pack of tiny
1:29:02
vampires when she set one foot in Transylvania.
1:29:05
Your mother, and he steps forward,
1:29:08
was a vampire. What?
1:29:12
That's right. Your mother was a vampire.
1:29:15
And you were a werewolf. Yes, forbidden
1:29:18
love.
1:29:19
But we made it work and we had you, the
1:29:21
first werewolf to be traditionally hot.
1:29:26
Beep, that explains it. Beep, beep.
1:29:29
Goes Count Dracula's digital watch. It's
1:29:32
a calculator watch. Beep.
1:29:35
Right. It is a beautiful
1:29:38
story, but it
1:29:47
is 1201. Halloween
1:29:49
is over.
1:29:51
This one day that we all join together
1:29:53
and celebrate the differences of the monster people
1:29:56
is no longer the day that it
1:29:58
is. We must all
1:30:01
go back to our isolated
1:30:03
communities.
1:30:04
The vampire,
1:30:06
the mosquito,
1:30:08
the Frankenstein,
1:30:09
and the, what
1:30:12
are you now, Caleb?
1:30:14
I think I'm just
1:30:17
me. And
1:30:20
the bride puts a hand on his shoulder and says, he's
1:30:23
a husband. Yeah. Yeah.
1:30:26
Happy Halloween. I'm gonna get inside. It's all Saints
1:30:28
day and the doors begin flying
1:30:30
open all over the city as saints begin
1:30:32
emerging from every single building,
1:30:35
chanting in Latin. Good
1:30:37
night, everybody. The saints go marching in
1:30:39
plain. Bye bye bye bye bye. Bye
1:30:42
bye bye
1:30:43
bye.
1:30:54
Well now, what did I tell
1:30:55
