When the world is ruled by violence,

and the soul of mankind fades,

the children's path shall be darkened,

by the shadows, of the Neon Maniacs.

Happy birthday, dear Natalie!

Happy birthday, to you!

Punk assholes!

Okay Wally, fork over five bucks.

Five bucks? We're talkin' beer, not champagne.

Come here boy, come here!

Oh, my God.

Hi, Natalie.

Hello, Lisa.

What's up, everybody.

Has anybody seen my dog?

Very funny, Steven?

Would you please, get him out of here, please.

I'm sorry. He just a-- He gets a little excited. Come on boy.

Yeah, I can see...

- What's his or her name? - Dog.

You named your dog, dog?

See, I-I thought about Cat, but--

Hey, baloney man. Father gave you the night off, or what?

Actually Ray, he sent me out looking for you.

He needs a bouncer in the fruit department.

That's pretty quick... pasta breath.

Say goodnight to Steven, girls.

- Ha ha. Right. - Woo!

You sure have great taste, Elvis.

Paula, it's way past bedtime.

Okay Ma, I was just testing the makeup for tomorrow's shoot.

Help, gimme back my hand! Ah!

Bad doggy.

- Hut! Hut! Hut! - Go out!

Come on, throw the ball!

What are you doin'?

Keep it up, fella.

Come on Sue, let's play.

On... the jungle gym?

- On the... jungle gym?! - Uh-huh.

On a bench?

- Under a tree? - Under a tree.

On a swing--

Sue's crazy. She's not on the pill or anything.

Are you?

What do you think? I'm not stupid.

What did you and... Todd do?

We broke up.

You want a beer?

Just a sec.

God--

- Stringbean! - Let 'em go, Wally.

Will you excuse me?

I suppose.

Don't be long.

You haven't... done it yet, have you?

- So is it a crime or something? - No... but how can you stand it?

Sex isn't everything, Lisa.

Steven and Al would probably help you out.

Oh, give me a break, okay Lisa.

Okay.

But I bet you're the last virgin in San Fran.

What the fuck?

Damn.

She doesn't wanna play with us, she wants to fool around.

Did you hear that sick sound?

Yeah it was creepy.

Probably your mom, hollering out her anti-sex warning.

She just thinks you have sex on the brain.

She's right.

Here's the Big G, here with ya,

how ya doin' out there tonight?

Surrounded by friends, I hope.

But let me warn ya, there's intermittent showers forecast

for the bay area, tonight and tomorrow.

So stay warm and safe.

Ahh!

What the fuck are you guys dressed for?

You guys lookin' for a game?

Think fast pal.

You guys wanna play rough?

It can go both ways bozos.

Lisa, over here!

Help!

Ray!

Oh, God.

You got a problem here, miss?

I can hear shouting...

screaming...

and then the screaming stopped and...

and then one of 'em, the one with the axe, he was...

he was trying to get into the van.

They were all around, the van.

All of them, I-I...

I thought they had gotten in but--

Go on.

That's all I can remember.

Do you believe that?

Just a prank, Wylie.

Just a bunch of jerk-off kids.

Probably drunk or on something.

Maybe.

It's pretty elaborate for a prank.

Well whatever it is, we better have a name for it by tomorrow.

They'll be hell to pay, if a dozen kids turn up missin' overnight.

Well we sure can't tell anyone her story.

What do you think, Lieutenant Devon?

Let's see what the sunrise brings.

Natalie, I came as soon as I could.

Thanks Lorraine.

Hi darling, Hal and I are having a wonderful time.

We left Paris last night, and you can now reach us at the Rome, Carlton.

We'll see you in a few weeks.

Oh and don't forget your dentist appointment next week.

Hugs and kisses sweetheart, bye.

Hello, this is the operator. May I help you?

The overseas operator.

What country please?

What country please?

Hello?

Hello?

Help me!

Good morning. Devon.

What is that?

Gook, slime.

Nobody knows yet. Forensics found it all around here.

Anything else?

No. No bodies, no blood, not even a footprint.

The rain took care of that.

Okay, that's the third morning in a row you've overslept.

Okay, let's hurry, c'mon.

- Hello? - Paula?

- Hi Gary. - You won't believe it, but get this!

Last night, my dad was working the graveyard shift at the precinct.

They bring in this girl, all hysterical like...

she says her, and her friends, were attacked by monsters in Tracy Park!

Monsters? What kind of monsters?

I don't know!

The ugly killing types!

Anyway, she says they killed all of her friends,

and they're about to get her too.

But then Officer Manello, shows up.

Who was killed?

That's the strangest part! They couldn't find any bodies or clues.

And six kids have absolutely disappeared!

Sounds scary!

Who the girl?

Natalie Lawrence, over on Maplewood, she goes to Union County High!

Mrs. Shiboski, please report to the assistant principal's office.

Natalie!

Natalie!

Nat, come here.

Oh...

What's wrong with you, I've been hollering, didn't ya hear me?

I, guess I didn't, I'm sorry.

God, you look just awful, you should've stayed home today.

Oh, I'm okay, I just didn't get any sleep.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Excuse me, are you Natalie Lawrence?

Yes.

Can I talk to you? About last night.

What do you know about last night?

Hardly anything, see, that's why I wanna talk to you.

- I'm really interested in finding out-- - Hey look kid...

why don't you go back to Sesame Street.

- But I just wanna find out-- - Hey can't you see she doesn't wanna talk?

Come on Nat, let's go to class.

The saga continues.

When you gonna ask her out?

I hear it's a good way of gettin' a date.

Why don't you let me do things on my own time, alright!

Hey, you'll be past puberty and into old age

by the time you ask her out, come on.

Gene, she's not the kinda girl you just ask out.

Look at her, she's, she's beautiful.

You got no shot. Look at you, look at her.

Look at you, look at her.

Hey, I'm good looking, you're disgusting!

Hey listen, forget it man. I hear she's going out

with some guy from college anyway.

Who told you that?

It's a rumor, you hear a rumor. You never heard a rumor?

She is going out, or she was going out, with a guy from col--

Is, was, what I'm trying to say is...

maybe you should go for a fat lady because

I think she's a little bit out of your league? You know what I mean chief?

I don't want the fat lady.

I'm Donna, Raymond's sister.

What the hell was that bullshit you handed the police?

And where's my brother?

Everything I told the police is the truth.

I'm sorry, Donna, but your brother is dead.

Liar! You're a liar!

Let me go, Goddamnit! Let go!

Yeah, Steven.

Faggot!

Woo!

And therefore Miss Lawrence...

we feel that it would be, not only in your interest...

but in the schools interest, if you stayed home for a while.

You're late!

- You're a great producer! - It's not my fault.

John's mom made us take his sister to dance class.

John, Wendy has your fangs, why don't you go try 'em on?

- Did you talk to that Natalie, girl yet? - Yes and no.

But she wouldn't talk to me. So I'm gonna call her back

and I'm definitely gonna check out that park.

Yeah, I heard forensics found his slimy gook, all over the place.

Gook?

Well, that's what I heard, they're analyzing it.

We'll keep me posted, okay?

Wendy, you ready?

John, take your position over by the headstone.

Okay... and... action!

Scary, John, scary!

Good, good.

Okay, now... open your mouth wide and show your--

How come you like that?

Sheila, where were you last night?

I went out. I went for a drive, I couldn't sleep.

It's the truth, you gotta believe me.

- Sheila. - I couldn't sleep. Tad...

- Hello. - Hi, can I speak to Natalie, please?

This is Natalie.

Natalie, this is Paula Peterson, I met you this morning at school.

I have nothing to say to you, so stop bothering me.

But wait, don't hang up, I just have a few questions to ask.

Leave me alone!

But, but, wait--

What?!

Steven, Dad's on the phone. His delivery boy didn't make it today

and you've gotta go to work.

- And why can't you go? - Cause I'm going shoppin' with Tracy.

I knew I must have been adopted.

Look you brat, stop bothering me!

Umm...

is this Ms. Lawrence?

This is Lisa's mother.

I thought you were someone else.

Hello?

I'm sorry it's just that we're all so worried about her.

I mean, I don't understand, I don't understand, what--

is this some kind of a-- a joke you're playing?

Oh please... oh please just tell me where my baby is, please.

We're so worried about her.

Oh, Ms. Lawrence, please help us if you can.

- Help us-- - Lawrence...

what the hell is goin' on here?

Where's my daughter?!

I'm sorry about your daughter, I don't know!

I'm sorry, but I don't know!

Lawrence...

I knew I wasn't adopted.

Hello, anybody home?

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Hi.

Hi.

I got your groceries.

Really, you don't have to do that.

It's all part of the service at Mellows.

These should go right into the refrigerator.

Perishables.

Would you like a soda, a beer, or something?

- Um. A beer. - Bottom shelf on the right.

Thank you.

I didn't get a chance to thank you for this afternoon.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I guess you heard a little about what--

Yeah um... a little... you know, school gossip, that kind of stuff.

Does everybody think I'm a liar, or cracking up?

I don't know, maybe I am cracking up.

- I'm not even sure what I saw anymore. - Natalie.

I don't think you're a liar and, I don't think you're cracking up.

I believe you.

Why?

Because you do.

Lemme get you a glass for that.

What happened with the uh... principle?

Ah... suspended, until further notice.

They're gonna send someone over with assignments, so I can keep up.

- Do you... - You don't...

I'm sorry.

- Go ahead. - No, you go ahead.

Oh. I was just gonna ask, how my mother usually pays for this. She's not here and--

Oh, it's no problem. You see we bill her at the end of every month.

- Oh, well at least let me give you a tip. - Oh no, I couldn't take it.

- Don't be silly! - No, I couldn't!

I'll tell you what though.

You could go with me to the movies tonight?

Okay.

- Yeah? - Yeah!

Umm... one thing though...

no horror movies?

Right. No horror movies.

Yuck.

- Let go of me! - Relax, slow down kid.

What are you doin' down here anyway? Nice little girl like you.

Nothing. I'm just lookin' around.

Just lookin' around, huh?

For what... dead pigeons?

Oh sure yeah, that's my hobby.

I collect dead pigeons, and then I press 'em between the pages of a book.

Okay, that's enough.

Beat it, and don't let me catch down here again.

Yes, sir.

This your bike, kid?

Yes, sir.

Well you shouldn't aughta leave it layin around. Somebody might steal it.

Or break it.

Thank you very much, sir.

Oink, oink, oink!

Little smart-ass kid.

You are late, young lady. I'll deal with you later.

Supper's in the oven,

and don't forget to lock the door before you go to bed.

And don't stay up all night watching television.

We'll be home before midnight, sport.

Have a good time.

Hey!

...And then one of 'em, the one with the axe...

he was tryin' to get into the van.

That's all I can remember.

I don't believe it.

Who's gonna believe me now?

Hi, this is the Lawrence residence. No one's home right now. If you leave a--

Mass transit. It's good for the environment.

Hey look, I don't mind if we take the subway.

- You don't? - No!

I mean, it's not your fault that the van broke down.

- It's not it my fault? - No.

You see, it's not my fault.

- It's just a classic case of bad timing. - Yeah.

- How's our timing? - Our timing is just great.

Now we have more time to be alone.

Alone's an understatement.

Natalie, what's the matter?

I--

I thought I saw something.

What?

Well... feathers, brightly colored feathers!

That's nothing to be concerned about. Everyone knows this town's full of turkeys.

No, seriously Steven, I...

I feel very vulnerable.

I'll tell you a secret...

I do too.

You're such a romantic.

It's in the blood.

Here we go, see?

Steven...

it's them!

Let's get out of here!

On the train!

I don't see them.

They must have gotten on.

Let's hope not.

It's an awful quick way to ruin an evening.

Where is everyone?

Home. Watching Dynasty.

Sometimes I think we're the only normal people left in this world.

Not quite. The engineers still left.

It's gonna be all right.

We'll be coming to a station soon, we can get off there.

You did see them, Steven?

Yes, I saw them, I don't understand it but--

They're after me.

After you?

I don't understand Natalie, I don't understand, why in the hell di--

Shit!

- They did get on. - I knew they did!

Come on, let's get the engineer.

Come on, run!

- Oh! Oh! - Hold them back! Hold them back!

Nat, keep running!

Come on, let us in! Hey, let us in!

Take off!

- You okay? - Yep.

Steven, is this ever gonna end?

Yes... it's gonna be alright!

Yeah but, why are they after me?

I don't know.

The window!

The window!

Open the window.

Come on, open!

Ah!

- Get it off! - Get off! Get! Get!

Ahh!

Let go!

That's it! We gotta move out of this neighborhood, Elmo.

Hey you damn kids... cant you read? No smoking!

No respect.

Yeah.

It's Devin here.

Sorry to bother you at this late hour.

But I want a tail on this Lawrence girl. You got the job.

Did forensics come up with anything on that slime we found?

They're baffled... completely baffled.

They never seen anything like it before.

- Devin? - What?

You think she's the link, don't you?

Go back to sleep, kid.

I'll see you in the morning.

Natalie?

Natalie?!

Good morning.

I'm not so sure yet.

Are you alright?

I'm fine, I'm just... still shaky from last night.

That's okay, I wasn't that hungry anyways.

Good. How'd you sleep?

Fine.

- Look, would it be okay if I uh-- - Took a shower?

Yeah.

Upstairs bathroom, first door on your right.

- Thanks. - Mmhm.

Hi, remember me?

Please, just go away.

But it's about them.

Wait! You don't understand!

Natalie?

Please listen to me!

You're not alone, I see them too.

To make a long story short...

I finally did him in with a pail of water, and a blast from the shower.

Pail of water and a shower.

Gets the bad guys every time.

You know Steven, after last night I'd believe anything.

Look, what I'm saying is that the only defense against these things is water.

Just plain, old, water.

Water?

Water.

We should do something.

What do you suggest?

I don't know!

The police?

They didn't believe you last time, you think they would now?

She's right, we're kids, and who listens to kids?

If only something showed up on my tape.

Wait a minute... the band competition is tonight.

Right.

What did you say, you said that-- that water kills these freaks?

Alright. Now, if we can get enough squirt guns to the kids at the dance tonight...

It'd be the safest place to be.

So if you wanna get a more tinny tone or more base tone...

just turn the dials, which they would do.

Gonna be alright? - Yeah, fine.

Good luck.

Thank you.

- Hi Nat. God, it's so soon getting... - Oh! God.

So I hear you and Steve are going out, huh? Cute huh.

- Yeah, he is. - Does he play good?

Oh yeah, he's brilliant.

Cutest thing in the school.

I think so.

Welcome!

Attention, please!

Welcome!

Thank you. Thank you.

As you know, this is a battle!

A battle to the death!

Now--

This group here, we are "The Outlaws".

And I'd like to introduce to you...

our competition tonight, which is a tough bunch of mothers.

Let's hear hit for "Jaded".

You're wondering what the squirt guns are for...

well...

we plan on really cooking tonight.

So watch how I smoke.

What happened to the lights?

Steven?

Oh! Gerry!

I'm gonna go kiss that dude in the corner over there.

- Be careful. - Of him?

- Just be careful. - Okay. I'll see ya later.

Would you trust me, nothing is going to happen.

Besides...

I'm packin'.

Well, we're going into the 3rd inning with no score.

Rick Yager leading off for 'frisco.

With Mark Gable to follow.

Yager batting .320 as he steps up to the plate.

Leads the league in homeruns. 23.

Okay, everybody is ready.

Lyin' Leonard has finished his warm-ups.

Here we go.

Yager digs in.

Yager steps up. Looks down 3rd base.

Gotta be a stalling tactic.

Everyone here knows Yager...

He uses muscle.

Leonard steps off the mound. Picks up the...

Cat and mouse game between the two.

We've got some tension out there.

Boo!

He's on 'em!

What a beautiful throw by...

Yager runnin' his heart out but no cigar.

Nice dancin' with you, sweetheart.

- I gotta go jam. - Okay.

- Hold down the fort? - Never.

Oh!

Wanna dance, Tana?

Aww, come on!

Natalie!

Natalie!

Aww, come on... loosen up!

Steven! Natalie!

Behind you! Behind you, the Indian!

The Indian, Natalie!

Steven!

Oh God, it's them!

It's them! The Indian without the arm?

Except his arm is back on!

Tricky son of a bitch, isn't he.

Alright.

Cut it. Cut. Guys!

Hey, listen up!

Hey, I need your attention! Wait a minute!

Everybody!--

Wait!--

Don't run!

Use your squirt guns!

Look, come on now, this is no joke!

Ahh!

Come on.

Get to the principal's office and use a phone.

Yeah, well what about Paula?

Look, Paula, can take care of herself. Let's go! Natalie!

Oh my God, it's locked!

Come on, try another door.

I am not gonna let anything happen to you.

I just met you.

I know you won't.

That's why I like you.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, calm down!

Now we want to handle this situation in as orderly a fashion as possible.

My daughter is missing, and I wanna know what the police are doing about it!

- And mine too! - And my son!

Inspector Devin is questioning some key witnesses right now.

And I can ensure you he'll be taking some action at any moment.

Now lemme get this straight...

You're telling me that these, these, things...

are inside the Golden Gate Bridge, why?

Two... that they only come out at night.

And three...

that they are responsible...

for the death of 15 or more kids, and three of my police officers.

You kids, really believe this?

If you kids are giving me a snow job...

all three of you are done!

Do you understand that?!

Get me the mayor's office.

Come on now quick, hussle, come on!

Boss, bring it over here!

Get those hoses over here! Now!

- C'mon bring those hoses over! - Put the spot on. Put the spot on the door.

C'mon, c'mon!

Get by the door.

- Alright. - Hey, hey.

Alright, open it up.

Hold it!

Flashlight.

Do you believe this shit?

- Can it, Anderson. - Yes, sir.

Alright you guys, spread out.

All right, all right. Let's get out of here. C'mon move it!

Alright move it, come on!

...That's what your wife's gonna say.

I want you to get those fire hoses rolled up.

And get this fire truck the hell out of here.

Okay. Yes, sir.

Alright, party's over, c'mon, move it.

- Let's go move it, keep walking, go! - We saw them!

- I had 'em on video tape! They didn't... - Come on, move it!

I had 'em on tape! I swear I saw them!--

Kid, you still have your squirt gun?

Yeah, I think so.

Keep it.

This rain won't last forever.
