The "Penn & Teller" is mightier than the sword

(Opening begins at the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators' original run play. The camera pulls back to see James and everyone else on top of a slab with the words "The Last Of The Americans" on it before cutting to James in his office)

TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. I know I have talked about magicians in the past, but there's a duo who uses magic to expose the BS in our lives, and that duo is known as Penn Jillette and his often silent partner, Teller! (Cut to clips of the duo in various shows, including their own.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And to be honest, these two have had quite a career as a duo. Starting in 1975, these two mix magic, logic, comedy, and fantasy violence in a uniquely entertaining brew. While their relationship on stage may look like Penn is always out to have one trick go south to see Teller buy the farm. The two have mutual respect for each other professionally, and while having a few interests outside of magic, they're good enough friends to have Teller considered a part of Penn's Family. While they sometimes disagree, they lead to better material from the two. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So when it comes to the two making a movie, even though they've got good chemistry, is their act powerful enough to succeed, or will they wind up conjuring a Dark Comedy Cult Classic? (Cut to the title of "Penn & Teller Get Killed" then to clips from the movie that don't give everything away as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Released in 1989 as the last film of Arthur Penn, "Penn & Teller Get Killed" shows just what happens when the duo, or more succinctly Penn Jillette, opens his mouth without thinking while the two pull their usual routine with each other. But can this show the best of the two, or is it worse than their Sin City Spectacular? Today we'll see our duo and what they can do to each other and everyone around them as they play in Jersey City. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And just so I can avoid the lynching, I probably deserve from certain people. I have censored where in Jersey City they're playing in both the dialogue and in the film itself (James pulls out a button) with this handy dandy device. So let's see how "Penn and Teller Get Killed" (Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
The movie opens with Penn Jillette, and Teller, played by Penn Jillette and Teller,  as the two are doing their TV Anti-Gravity looking like Magic trick as Carlotta, played by Caitlin Clarke, is checking out the two as she is both their manager and Penn's Girlfriend. As they go on a Late Night Talk Show to do their trick, talk about how Psychic Surgery is a load, and promote their two-week performance stint at [Bleep] Casino, and then Penn does something no one with the right amount of common sense would say in any way, or matter and get away with by today's standards. (Show the clip in which Penn talks about wishing someone would kill him. Cut to James physically.)

TLOTA:
WHY?! WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU SAY THAT UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE EVERY NUT WITH A SCREW LOOSE OUT TO HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE AN ANIMAL?! ARE YOU STUPID, PENN JILLETTE, OR ARE YOU JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO SHOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THAT NUTS! 
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
The next morning our threesome makes it to the airport as a religious zealot is shot down by Penn and Teller before giving them his spiel about God, and for the record, I would never force my religious beliefs on anyone, nor should anyone else for that matter, however, the man of God must be a Ted Nugent fan as he tries to scare Penn and Teller into finding religion and here is what takes up a good portion of the movie's run time. The two of them try to out-prank each other or the people around them at random times, with Carlotta working with Teller as Penn goes through the metal detector. (Show the clip of Penn as he tries to go through the Metal Detector and slowly has a nervous breakdown. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Just imagine the two if they had to do this movie today; they'd have more to go through. 
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Penn discovers that Teller had set him up and, to pay him back, puts Teller in thumb cuffs, fills the holes with glue, and puts a fake gun in there. Our heroes soon make it to the Casino, and again, if I was on YouTube, I would be putting my mug over the name of the Casino because, again, people seem to hate him. As their first show ends the way, most of their shows end with a trick that ends with the apparent demise of Teller. The two decide to hit the slots, which becomes an experiment on how and why you should not take free money. (Show clip of Penn as he gambles with another gambler in the slots as Teller throws money at the guy, then Penn sets off a Change war as he shouts about how the revolution is started at [Bleep] Casino. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Well, there goes their engagement. 
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Later on, that night, Penn and Carlotta discuss how stupid an idea it was for the two to cause chaos in the casino. Carlotta also talks about her rich Uncle Ernesto and how he's suffering from tumors and wants to spend his cash on Psychic Surgeons. Penn decides that if they can save one person from their stupidity, it will be worth it for them to show Uncle Ernesto why Psychic Surgeons are BS! (Show clip of Penn as he goes through Psychic Surgery and then tells Uncle Ernesto how it's done. The movie continues as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
After saving Uncle Ernesto, we find Penn & Teller practicing their schtick for an appearance on David Letterman as three angry associates of the Psychic Surgeon find Penn, Teller, and Carlotta. Teller makes what could've been a minor misunderstanding into a bigger situation as he tries to fight off the three as Penn & Teller are taken, and Carlotta is grabbed as well. Penn and Teller are strapped down to a pair of gurneys as the psychic surgeon decides to gut Penn Jillette while Penn gives time for Teller to get loose. (Show clip of Penn as he uses the time to distract the Psychic Surgeon and as Teller begins his attack and screams, and the joke is on Penn. James continues his voiceover) That's right, this was Teller's response prank to what happened to him at the Airport and what Teller did to Penn through the Airport earlier. After another appearance at [BLEEP] Casino, Penn is shot, and it looks like things are getting real as Teller sees the maniac who shot Penn and tails the guy. Thinking this was another one of Teller's pranks, Penn isn't taking what Teller tried to convey to him as seriously. I guess when you prank each other long enough, what's true and what isn't becomes a blur. The next day as the duo prep for another show, Penn finally realizes that this isn't one of Teller's pranks! (Cut to Penn as he has a shattered bust of his head as he says, "It isn't you, is it?" Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Well, let's see, he found a guy with a long-range sharpshooter's rifle with your name on it; he followed the guy most of the night as the nut disappeared and has been trying to stop the cuckoo bird. WHY, IN THE NAME OF SAMUEL LANGFORD HELL, DO YOU THINK THIS IS TELLER'S DOING? (Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Now incognito, Penn and Teller going under the pseudonyms of Fats and The Hunted, the movie becomes very weird. (Show the Memoirs of The Hunted moments as Penn does narrations as The Hunted and describes the pseudo-realistic detective. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
That's a unique description of a detective.
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Penn and Teller finally meet the Officer, played by Celia McGuire, who is the same actress as Carlotta, under a pseudonym, assigned to find the hitman and protect Penn and Teller as the three hit the streets to find the guy. Penn & Teller are taken to Officer McNamara's boat for protection. While Penn and McNamara watch the Three Stooges, listen to The Velvet Underground and enjoy Colas, Teller discovers the nutjob again and decides enough is enough; he's going to buy a gun to protect himself and Penn from the psycho. After some time under McNamara's protection, The nutjob is captured, and Penn wants to see this guy's place. The results...? (Show clip of Penn and Teller's psychotic fan's video and their reaction. Cut to James Physically)

TLOTA:
Not exactly the reaction I would have. I would be more in the thought of, "Okay, either make sure he gets One Deca-Quadrillion year life sentence, or I will give him the pleasure of being around me, but he'll be a sorry son of a bitch after a half a day with me! 
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Penn and Teller thank McNamara for doing her duties, and Teller decides he doesn't need his gun anymore. But maybe he should've kept it, as Penn is gutted like a trout! Getting Penn to a hospital, Teller finds the guy who stabbed to be the same sociopath who is out to kill Penn and chases him down as we discover the knife is a breakaway prop, which means that this is all Penn's response prank for what Teller did to him with Uncle Ernesto's Psychic Surgeon as Penn response to what Teller did to Penn at the airport. However, like one of their shows, this is the prank that backfires as Teller finds his gun and shoots Penn, then himself, and we see that the fanatic was an actor hired by Penn and Carlotta. Teller realizing what he did starts off a chain reaction that ends this movie for all intent and purposes. (Show Teller as he shoots Penn, then talks, and Carlotta shows who she is, the two discover that the gun was real and Teller had killed Penn, and Teller's last words are "No Hard Feelings." as he kills himself. Carlotta jumps out a window. The actor and his friend kill themselves, and the chain reaction of people killing themselves occurs as Penn tells the audience they died and that they had no other option than to go through with the ending of the movie. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Well, I think that this qualifies as a prequel to "The Happening" because only the spirits of the dead that can't move on would cause everyone to kill themselves, especially if it's the spirits of Penn Jillette and Teller! 
(Cut to "Penn & Teller Get Killed" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
"Penn and Teller Get Killed" is exactly what you expect from Penn & Teller if they were the stars of their own movie. A lot of their social commentary, A lot of laughs, and plenty of pranks. While initially, it was not a success at the box office, much like "UHF", which came out the same year, the movie has become a Cult Classic. However, as "UHF" was light-hearted and funny, "Penn and Teller Get Killed" was Penn and Teller at their 1980s best, twisted, dark, and full of social commentary. It's available on Digital, and for a while, it was on DVD, and if you can get it, I strongly suggest you see this movie to see Penn and Teller at their most demented and darkly humorous. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And since Penn & Teller are technically magicians, this is a great setup for next month, which happens to be October. (Audio of someone saying, "And you know what that means!") Can't I even get into Halloween mode before you come in to annoy me?  (Cut to the source of the audio, who happens to be Phelous.)

Phelous:
Oh, I am just making sure you keep up with your word! (Cut to James as he morphs into Halloween mode!)

TLOTA:
I am going to do a double dose of Ghostbusters next month, starting with "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and ending with "Extreme Ghostbusters," and if that isn't enough for you, then I don't know what to tell you. (Cut to Phelous)

Phelous:
Well, considering you had to produce that Internet Daytime Talk Show and Direct that Game Show Pilot that you had me and Allison sit through. I had more fun watching another one of those straight-to-video knockoff animated movies of the better ones from Disney.  (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Excuse me for a moment; I'm going to talk to Mr. Wall; at least I can have a meaningful conversation. (James turns around.) Hello Mr. Wall, you know that the Internet Daytime Talk show and Game show pilot wasn't my idea but, in fact, my forced upon business partner's ideas. And those ideas have destroyed my credibility in creating quality content. (Cut to Phelous)

Phelous:
You keep talking to the wall, I'll see myself out! (Phelous walks away. Cut to James as he turns around.)

TLOTA:
Well, glad he got the point! In the meanwhile, I've got my October workload to do! I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and that's my opinion!

How to survive in a Horror Movie

  (0:36 until the end of the 1994 American Gladiators theme plays as it cuts to James as he morphs into The Last Of The Americans with the half team TLOTA on his right and the other half on his left as the camera pulls back to see the slab with the markings “The Last Of The Americans”. Fade cut to James in his room at his house)


TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and Yeah still at home, and quarantined and Halloween is still happening and that's the most unbelievable part of 2020! (Cut to different horror movies as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
I get why Halloween is still going on, that even though the world is no longer the way it once was we should have enjoy the scary slasher, spooky monster, bizarre type of movie that we need to see these type of stereotypes of people going through these types of fake horrors and I like them as escapist entertainment during these hard times. But the stereotypes seem to have become a punchline especially in advertising (Show GEICO Horror Movie Stereotypes ad. Cut to James as he facepalms himself.) 

TLOTA:
Yeah, this type of thing has been in there since Time immemorial with the Horror Flick as well as most horror movies but ask yourself this, If you were in the same situation, would you survive? Actually the question is If you were in a Horror movie, How would you survive? (Cut to clips of Horror films as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
For starters you'd have to have some common sense, in most cases is to be armed, heavily! I mean you'd give Rambo and Ted Nugent inferiority complexes. That is something best known from the Zombieland movies. Also to Double Tap the creature or monstrous murderer! Something else is to be well informed in mythos and lore. That is where the character of Luke in "Dracula II: Ascension" & "Dracula III: Legacy" which are straight to DVD sequels to the Wes Craven "Dracula 2000" is best at. He's aware of Vampiric Lore even though he cannot rescue the woman he loved and the team members that strangely are either embracing what they're doing and what they're becoming. Also important is to come up with plans that have contingencies, that is where someone like like the people around Ash from the Original Evil Dead Trilogy in the "Ash vs The Evil Dead" tv series is at his best. Though granted he occasionally has one or two gems but otherwise he follows another trope, the survivor with PTSD who knows what's going on yet they are shunned by normal people, that's the kind of guy to listen to. That is where more or less the one trope I think is perfect. Listening to those who have been through what you're going through. Another thing that is essential to survival, having a source of water and stock up on food. That was something that was a plot point in the Apocalyptic Comedy "This Is The End" the need for food and water for survival and of course finding belief in god and doing enough good in your life or coming clean with yourself can get you to heaven.  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: 
And even though survival is key in such situations, what happens to those who do survive what do their lives become. (Cut to "Halloween (2018)" as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
This is where the tale of Laurie Strode, after numerous reboots and sequels that are no longer in cannon has gone to in the Halloween 2018 soft reboot. Her life no longer is about any emotional value, she has no joy or sadness in her life. She's disconnected from the world, disconnected from her family and disconnected period! The positives is that she was prepared in so many ways for Michael Myers return. She isn't scared to be honest about certain feelings towards certain things especially Michael Myers. That is also a double edged sword, the backlash of being a survivor means everyone thinks you're not mentally well and Laurie suffers from that reputation but it's the mentality that saves her daughter and granddaughter and shows in Laurie's daughter when she makes the switch from fraidy cat to stone cold bad ass in a split second. So even though surviving Michael Myers' first attack left her scarred, it also left Laurie wiser to who she could be and what she could be and what she needed to become to stop the evil of Michael Myers. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Then there is the only major negative to surviving, Survivor's Guilt. (Cut to clips of Horror films as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Even after surviving, you eventually come to a sad revelation of that every breath you take is one your friends didn't can give you feelings that you shouldn't be there. But that differential is what kept you alive when everyone else fell was not as smart as you to realize the fact you have to be a lot smarter than the bad guy.

TLOTA:
So is Survival in a Horror is possible but is it worth it? I think so! (Cut to clips of Horror films as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Because being alive and seeing another day is better than knowing you were slaughtered by a monster in the last hours of your life. This is where being intelligent and having real common sense is worth it, especially if you're in the real world. It's easier than it looks but it's also a lot harder to live with what happened. But as long as you learn and the aftermath doesn't totally destroy you but instead makes you that much better as to who you are and what you want, learning to survive is the best way to get through any situation even against someone like Michael Myers, Freddie Kruger, Jason Voorhees, Norman Bates, Chucky and every other force of evil in a horror movie. (Show clip of Ash in "Evil Dead II" as he makes his sawed off Shotgun with his Chainsaw and says "Groovy!". Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Indeed Ash! Survival is Groovy! I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and That's my opinion!

A "Zombie" "Halloween" Jubilee!

(Scene begins with a black background with the John Carpenter “Halloween” Theme intercut with the 1994 “American Gladiators” theme, cut to a Pumpkin with James’ pose carved into it taking up the left side with two thirds of the black background with the same text as in the Halloween movies as the words “The Last Of The Americans” appear for two seconds then the credits of “James Faraci”, “Paulo Fonseca”, “Rebecca Yaun”, “Nick Yaun”, “Brenda Fonseca”, “John Ross & Mike Santos”, “Renee Miller”, “Andrew Beach”,  “Ed Champion”,  “Eric Kurtzke” & “Olivia Horvath”. “Written & Directed by James Faraci”, “Edited by Eric Kurtzke”, “Produced by First Choice Productions” as the Jack O Lantern splits open to see James’ head. The camera holds on James’ head for five seconds before pulling back to see James Faraci The Last Of The Americans in Halloween mode in his room)

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and seriously 2020 has been enough of a horror movie, should I even review one? Well, I guess after everything that has happened, a little fake horror is better than the decaquadrillion real horrors we have had to deal with this year. So let’s check out something that just screams 2020 and directed by someone that screams the subtlety of 2020. (Cut to an image of Rob Zombie as he holds a copy of both of his “Halloween” movies. Cut to James physically as he says “Perfect”. Cut to title cards of Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” and “Halloween II” as John Carpenter’s “Halloween” theme plays then cut to clips of both movies as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Considered a good remake and a sequel that somehow left more people polarized as to what in the hell Rob Zombie was thinking. These two movies were the most commercial and yet somehow the most Rob Zombie-esque projects, Rob Zombie would ever have. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And let’s get this out of the way Rob Zombie as a person I like, most of Rob’s Music I’m a fan of, his movies… Not so much and before I see one sociopath, let me explain. (Cut to Rob Zombie and images of his movies and music videos as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
First off, Rob Zombie the human being is an awesome person. He’s an intelligent person, a very astute writer, some of his songs like “Thunder Kiss ‘65”, “More Human Than Human”, “Feels So Numb”, “Dragula” & “Never Gonna Stop” are some of my all-time favorite songs and after some of his movies are a mixture of both Arthouse and Grindhouse. The motifs of his characters and plots are rather unique. Mainly the ones that glower in the darker and more demented side of humanity and instead of showing them in what many would consider the heroic light, Rob forces us to confront them and take a stand against these grotesques. However, I will be talking about the movies that polarized a franchise that seemed to keel over time and time again only to revive itself. (Cut to clips of “Halloween: H20” & “Halloween: Resurrection” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
After the surprise success of “Halloween: H20” which purged the “Thorn Trilogy” from the continuity, Dimension Films were looking to cash in on the success. What happened was “Halloween: Resurrection” which ironically killed everything by turning Michael Myers into Busta Rhymes’ Bitch and tried to be with it by making it about teens in the Myers house livestreaming on the internet like “The Blair Witch” movie and giving it a “Reality TV” feel. Not helping is when Busta is treating Michael Myers the same way Bugs Bunny handles Elmer Fudd! And don’t even get me started on the ending of this trainwreck!  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So what can Rob Zombie bring to Michael Myers screwy psyche? Let’s find out as we take on The Rob Zombie versions of “Halloween” & “Halloween II” starting off with “Halloween” (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Our movie opens in Haddonfield, Ohio at the Myers house where… (Show Michael Myers’ homelife. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Yeah, we open up with forty minutes of Michael Myers’ childhood from Rob’s POV! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And I wish I was kidding on what’s happening but what apparently to Rob, Michael’s parents are Redneck monstrosities that even myself a Sullivan County Redneck can call trash! His dad is an abusive attention seeking asshole and his mom is… Sheri Moon Zombie and what does Rob have for his wife’s profession in this… (Cut to Michael’s mom in a Strip joint working the pole and the audience. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
No comment! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
After getting into a fight with Juni from “Spy Kids” and I’m not kidding that is Daryl Sabara from all of the “Spy Kids” movies, Michael’s mom is called into deal with it as The principal played by Richard Lynch calls in the grooviest Psychiatrist in all the land Dr. Samuel Loomis this time played by Malcolm McDowell and as Loomis, The Principal and Michael’s mom argue over what to do with (Show moment of “Halloween” theme song being played) What in the… (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay, I have to know if Rob was in the right frame of mind to make this movie and the sequel because… Why are you using the theme like this? (Cut to the moment of young Michael Myers as the “Halloween” theme plays)

TLOTA (Singing V.O.):
What is up with using the theme song? Like this, to me it feels all wrong! It should be used when Michael is an adult and slaughtering people in the mask, which to many feels like a natural…

TLOTA (V.O.):
Oh… Okay! Now I know why, because it shows how far gone he was, even as a little kid! So when the family slaughter happens later, even though it is supposed to be a series of “Shock Deaths” well it is one of those moments that everyone knows even those who didn’t see the original! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So Kudos to you Rob on trying to set the mentality of someone who was too far gone even as a kid, even when you could’ve gone down with how Michael was a willing cult member but I think you were one of those that saw the Producer’s Cut of Halloween 6 in a test audience and said “F this, This is too messed up for me, I’m outta here” and said to yourself when you would do this one not to use it as a crutch of a backstory for Michael. Awesome! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And as the inevitable murders of Daddy Myers and sister Judith with her boyfriend for some odd reason having the Michael Myers’ mask, Michael’s mom comes to see her holding the baby and of course the slaughter, and we see over time that Michael becomes obsessed with making Paper-Mache masks and going more into the quiet and dark character that we know just as his mom commits him permanently and eats a gun. We cut to seventeen years later as Loomis after years of trying to reach Michael now played by Tyler Mane who apparently Evil strength muscle enhancing medications as part of his diet, decides to let him go and one scene after calling Michael his best friend in a twisted way calls Michael in a classroom of students “The Face Of Pure EVIL!”  Kinda confusing there but no time to try and work that out as a deranged guard and his cousin decide that the mask making psychopath’s room is the perfect place to have their nasty way with a female mental institute patient, which leads to Michael killing the two and Danny Trejo who should’ve gone down fighting Michael but instead gets taken down way too easy, but that’s me talking and I digress, Michael makes his way out of Smith’s Grove and back to his old home and grabs the mask where The “Halloween” theme works a lot better at this point. We’re soon introduced to Laurie who is now played by Scout Taylor-Compton as we see her now as a well-adjusted teen having a normal life (Show clip of Laurie “Bagel Banging”, Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
For someone who doesn’t know she’s related to a sadistic killer and if my twin teen nieces and their little sister ever did that, I’d give them the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth degrees! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
And here while not shot for shot everything is the same, it becomes like the original “Halloween” but where Laurie is scared in the original, Her and her friends one of them being the Sheriff’s daughter is played by Danielle Harris from “Halloween 4” & “Halloween 5” call Michael out. And as Michael as big and monstrous as he is stalks and I do mean stalks Laurie, her friends, and his prey he does a really good job at it even in the darker scenes. Discovering Michael has escaped Loomis tries to warn the Sheriff played by Brad Dourif however it is in these moments that Rob mixes Halloween 1 & 2 as Loomis tells about how Michael’s little sister is the only one left and how the Sheriff took Michael’s little sister to a town away from Haddonfield to an Emergency room and discovered that the Strodes adopted the baby! The Sheriff’s daughter while holding her own against Michael is left in a pool of her own blood survives, we’ll get to that later. Michael takes Laurie to the Myers house, tries to get her to understand that he and her are related however Laurie doesn’t want anything to do with Michael, a chase ensues, Loomis appears to handle Michael with a few bullets, tries to get Laurie out of danger however Michael decides to try and crush Loomis’ head like a watermelon at a Gallagher Concert. Chases Laurie again through the house until Michael unleashes his inner Rated R Superstar Edge and spears Laurie. Laurie responds with an apparent bullet through Michael’s face! And the movie ends with a film of Baby Laurie and Michael taking care of her. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So that was Rob Zombie’s Halloween and as far as a remake goes, it’s really well done! (Cut to clips of “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
While it’s not a bad remake, it does fall short when it comes to being as awesome as the classic. While it’s not a shot for shot re-fail like the Gus Van Sant “Psycho”, you can tell that Rob did his best to do what he needed to get people to remember what it was that they liked about the movie series. He didn’t add anything new, but he knew what to fix what was broken and leave the rest of it alone. While somewhat of a critical and commercial success, Rob was willing to leave well alone, the Production company that made this movie wanted a sequel and was willing to do whatever it took to get Rob back on board which also meant giving Rob complete and total creative control and the results? Well… (Cut to James physically.)

TLOTA:
We’ll get into those results when we come back. Right now, I’ve got to prepare, I can’t help but feel as if something isn’t right. Like I’m going to be dealing with someone or something unusual and seeing as how 2020 has been, it’s not that far-fetched of a concept. (James walks away as the camera pans to the window on James’ left as a man in a Michael Myers mask then cuts to the 0:36 Mark of the 1994 American Gladiators theme as it shows James fully morphed with the half team TLOTA on his right and the other half on his left as the camera pulls back to see the slab with the markings “The Last Of The Americans”. Cut to the 0:36 Mark of the 1994 American Gladiators theme as it shows James fully morphed with the half team TLOTA on his right and the other half on his left as the camera pulls back to see the slab with the markings “The Last Of The Americans”. Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
So “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” starts at the Mental Institute at Smith’s Grove where Michael’s mom once again played by Sheri Moon Zombie goes to visit… (Show clip of Michael and his mom talking about a white horse and how she is dressed in white. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
CLEARLY NOT MICHAEL! (Cut to clips of “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” & “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
The young Michael Myers in the first Rob Zombie Halloween movie looked the part, Daeg Faerch had a lot of the mannerisms of how a young Michael Myers would be like in Rob Zombie’s universe, he looked like he was going to friggin’ grow up to be a blood hungry sociopath, Chase Wright Vanek while similar looking doesn’t look anything like how Michael should’ve been. Was Daeg unavailable? Could they have cut out the scene? Well the studio would’ve if they had not given Rob total creative control which includes writing it which also means that this whole White Horse and Michael’s mom dressed in white talk is a plot point! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
We then cut to when Laurie apparently puts Michael down at the end of the first movie and then Laurie, Loomis and Laurie’s friend are getting taken care of at the Hospital. Meanwhile two necrophile morgue workers talk about their fetishes when they get their Karmic bitch slap quickly when… (Show clip of the Cow and the Morgue Van as they slam into each other. Cut to James physically in shock.)

TLOTA:
HOW?! HOW?! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW?! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
How fast were these guys driving? How did they not see the cow? It’s not that unnoticeable and yeah, I have researched this, a van that size going the legal speed of Fifty-Five Miles Per Hour can do some damage to the cow but not enough to turn that Holstein into Hamburgers. But I digress, apparently Michael wakes up and gets back to murder the surviving morgue worker and walks towards a White Horse and his mom’s ghost dressed in white! And according to Rob, he had the idea of the White Horse was a great image and was looking for something significant to tie Michael to Laurie, Okay, I’ll roll with it for now. We soon see Laurie coalescing in the hospital when she asks for some aspirin, but a wasted Octavia Spencer cameo turns into a (British Accent): Message for You Laurie! (Show clip of Michael in the Hospital as he slaughters the poor nurse. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay, again HOW?! HOW DID MICHAEL GET THERE SO QUICKLY?! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
It’s not like somehow the white horse and his mom’s ghost gifted the dude with teleportation otherwise, this is just silly. Laurie tries to outrun Michael getting help from a security guard to get her out of dodge when Michael “Axes” the guy to move out of the way so he can finish the deal when we see that it is one of a plethora of bad dreams Laurie has had for two years as she has in the intervening time moved in with The Sheriff and his daughter! Uh, Quick question, did Michael kill the Strodes in the last movie? I didn’t see Michael doing it so…. Why did she move in? Was the Sheriff basically imposing his will and ordered Laurie to move in? Whatever. Apparently, the relationship between Laurie and the Sheriff’s daughter has taken for the worse and to be fair, it’s hard not to see why. Laurie doesn’t see her friend; she sees the scars Michael gave Laurie and the Sheriff’s daughter. She talks more in depth about it with her therapist played by the Late Margot Kidder. Good casting call there Rob. We soon find Dr. Sam Loomis basically having become well a Sellout as he wrote a book about the Haddonfield murders done by Michael and instead of dealing with Laurie, the Sheriff and his daughter he is appearing on TV Interviews one where he’s being heckled by both Chris Hardwick and Weird Al Yankovic, appearing at book signings and just being a dick while trying to capitalize on the infamy of what happened that night! So, remember the Concerned Dr. Loomis from the first film? (Cut to James as he shoves a still frame of Malcolm McDowell’s Dr. Sam Loomis from “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” and shoves it ass first into a toilet as it flushes the audio of Malcolm McDowell’s Dr. Sam Loomis screaming “What The Hell?! Jesus Christ!” is remixed to sound as if Dr. Loomis is underwater)

TLOTA:
Pretty much that. (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
While at a speech Dr. Loomis is asked if Michael is alive when Dr. Loomis snaps and tells the audience to piss off because Michael is a corpse! Meanwhile Michael is found by a group of rednecks who of course act like assholes and after getting his ass kicked decides to mask up and go killing! While having Pizza with the Sheriff and her friend Laurie seems to be ill and her food tastes like of all things…dog! I thought they were having Pizza not Chinese! (Chorus of Boos are heard as it cuts to James physically)

TLOTA:
Oh trust me, it was a ready-made joke, I had to go for it! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
So yeah, like Halloween 5 there is a “Psychic” bond between Michael and a relative judging by the shared dreams they have, yeah… Just watch (Show the shared dreams the two have. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay apparently Rob had said in the same interview in which he talked about the White Horse stuff he was looking into the meanings of dreams but turned out to be well…what comes out of the White Horse’s anus! (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
After the shared Michael/Laurie dream sequence give people a raging headache, Loomis is confronted by a grieving father of one of Michael’s Victims at a book signing who whips out a gun which between this and of course the aforementioned tv appearance on a Talk show with Chris Hardwick and Weird Al, Dr. Loomis decides to get back to trying to get Michael. Meanwhile, like in the Original Halloween II Laurie discovers the fact that she and Michael are siblings. Laurie handles it well. (Show clips Laurie freaking out and leaving the Sheriff’s house and talking to her friends from work talking about how she’s Angel Myers. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
For someone that has PTSD! And before I forget, this is something I need to dive into. The fact that Laurie has PTSD, that is something very few sequels to Horror movies get into, the scars of what happened to the survivors don’t go away easily and in this one, seeing Laurie just trying to get back to normal even though that’s gone out the window. So, to get her mind off the trauma of what has been going through her for the past three years, what do her friends do? (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Take her to a Halloween party and get plastered. While this might not seem to be the sane route, remember this is a Rob Zombie movie and sometimes the sane route isn’t the right one especially since Michael is killing one of her friends outside, Laurie is somewhat healthfully letting loose which comes to an end after seeing what happened when she comes home to see The Sheriff’s house demolished and the Sheriff’s daughter dead and the friend who took her to the kegger, dead as well. Meanwhile a trick or treater who is about my youngest niece’s age comes upon Michael and where is his parents? Knowing Rob, they’re compost, and the Kid is toast off screen! Though had it been my niece, I guarantee Michael Myers would be a smear of blood on my knuckles if he so much as comes a foot away from her! In the meantime, The Sheriff asks a deputy who has two days before retiring to stop by his place to make sure Laurie is okay which is just around the time that both The Sheriff and Laurie discover Laurie’s connection to Michael. Sadly, that deputy turns into Victim number 428 on Michael’s kill list. Laurie goes on the run with Shawn Wayland trying to help only for him to meet his maker, Michael then in some comic book levels of crazy, flips the car with Laurie in it! Michael grabs Laurie before the car goes kerblamo and The Sheriff is notified about the carnage that happened at his place. Loomis arrives but unlike last time The Sheriff is pissed to the point that he puts a gun at Loomis’ head for what Michael did, but he can’t do it. They all arrive at where Michael is but unlike the first movie, the Sheriff isn’t going to let Loomis in to solve the problem. The Sheriff and all the officers are going to go kill Michael the second he’s in range! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And here is where things get weird as there are two different endings to this one. The Theatrical one and the unrated one and I will talk about both endings starting with the theatrical one. (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
As Loomis walks in he sees Laurie apparently unable to do anything. Loomis tries to talk to Michael when Michael decides “Loomis has got to go!” and does so in a violent and savage manner. Laurie then slaughters Michael after being shot by a sniper and comes out in Michael’s mask as it cuts to Smith’s Grove as we see Laurie in the mental ward seeing Her mother and the white horse, meaning she’s finally cracked and is ready to pick up where Michael left off!(Cut to The Unrated ending as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Now on to the Unrated and possibly the saner ending. Loomis tries to talk to Michael with Laurie again unable to do anything only for Michael to toss Loomis out a wall like he’s the friggin’ Kool-Aid Man and after 17 years of silence (in this movie’s timeline) Michael finally speaks saying only one word to Loomis “DIE!” which Loomis does and just like in Halloween 4 every officer with a gun mows Michael down with enough bullets for Ted Nugent to say “Even I think that’s too god damned much!”, Laurie steps out as well and the amount of bullets used to kill Michael is doubled as Laurie is gunned down and she apparently dies, goes to limbo which weirdly looks like the mental ward in Smith’s Grove and sees her mother and the White Horse meaning she is going to survive and pick up where Michael left off or she’s gone for good and this is where she will reside for all eternity. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Now the theatrical ending has led to speculations and theories that Laurie did all the slaughter in this one. Except let me ask you this If Laurie did all of it…. (Cut to “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
How in the hell did she get into the morgue van to kill the morgue workers? How in the hell did she kill the nurse? How in the hell did she kill that guard? How in the hell did she kill the rednecks? How could she slaughter her one friend while dancing at that party? How did she kill The Sheriff’s daughter? How did she kill the deputy, her other friend, the pointless Shawn Wayland Cameo and do all the stuff Michael did in the movie? How did she do all the killings in between “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” and This movie? I don’t think she’s that good a killer, I have to believe that Michael was back, and he did all the killings. And since they tried making someone like Michael’s niece into the next Michael at the end of Halloween 4, Danny Strode in Halloween 6 and now with Laurie it was their third attempt to makes someone else into The Shape that was Michael Myers which has not worked… AT ALL! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I know I might come off confused but given how this movie ended, it’s no wonder that people thought that this movie franchise was too far gone! (Cut to clips of “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” & “Rob Zombie’s Halloween II” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
The first one is the better of the two but in terms of the quality of the “Michael Myers Halloween” Movies, but that’s not much. While it does follow a lot of the same beats as the first one, it gives some depth to Michael as it spends basically the first act trying to get us to know more about Michael that we already knew, he was a vicious sociopath as a kid and the fact he didn’t have a normal life meant that Michael was screwed no matter what happened. Malcolm McDowell’s performance as Dr. Loomis and Tyler Mane’s portrayal of Michael Myers were the some of the highlights of both movies. I felt that Scout did get what Laurie would be like as a modern-day version of Laurie Strode in the first one and what Laurie would be like after the onslaught in the second one. However, the second one is what polarized the fans more than the “Thorn Trilogy” & “Resurrection”. This was just a weird, weird, WEIRD movie! Now as I probably mentioned that Rob’s movies are a mix of Art House and Grindhouse and clearly the Art/Grindhouse influence was heavier in the second movie than it was in the first. The dream sequences left me confused as to what I was watching, the two endings based on which cut you like better may be to your taste but take my advice. Watch the first, skip the second. Why skip the second? Because it’s one of the FEW times that giving someone too much creative control was a bad thing. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and that’s my opinion! (Scene fades to black as it cuts to James getting ready to take care of things for this year as per regulations during this crisis in New York State involving Trick Or Treating as “Laurie’s Theme” from the 1978 classic movie plays for the first fifty seconds. As James readies yet another protocol in the regulations “The Shape Lurks” plays as James looks around. With the last ten seconds of “The Shape Lurks” playing James closes a tailgate and sees a second reflection as the music cuts to the Jamellan/Colin Drum cover of the Halloween theme at the 0:50 mark)

TLOTA:
You know something, after the year I’ve had, I’ve been expecting you and this time you will NOT survive! (James roars into action kicking Michael Myers’ ass with every second left in the song throwing him into the cinderblock well cover, disarming him of his knife, beating him down like a martial artist and then pinning him down with camping spikes to the ground as the music ends) Okay, before I do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late 1990’s  and what I plan on doing to the assailant of Rick Moranis, I want you to know when I’m done with you, it’s gonna take a DNA test to make sure I killed you Michael Myers! (James reaches down and pulls off the mask of Michael Myers and comes back up looking confused.) What the hell?! (Cut to Paulo and Brenda Fonseca with their heads in their hands, John Ross and Mike Santos sitting with their jaws agape, Eric Kurtzke sitting in disbelief, Renee Miller shaking her head as if to say “What were you thinking, James?”, Nick and Rebecca Yaun with their eyes bulging out of their heads, Andrew Beach puking his guts out, Ed Champion taking in everything James has said with a bottle of liquid and Olivia Horvath sitting having heard everything and trying to process everything she’s heard. Cut to James in his room)

TLOTA:
How was I supposed to know it was that schmuck from Chicago? He was dressed like Michael Myers! (Cut to everyone in their rooms yelling and giving James Tsouris for what he did to that schmuck from Chicago. Cut to James.) GUYS! I really didn’t want to say this but SHUT UP! Okay, as soon as the police arrived, I told them everything that had happened, I just got off the phone with the Hospital, it’ll be some time before he’s back to his dumbass self! (Cut to Paulo and Brenda Fonseca)

Paulo Fonseca:
But dude! You dropkicked him onto a tailgate!

Brenda Fonseca:
And as he made impact with the tailgate you punched his knees so hard, they snapped like twigs! (Cut Rebecca and Nick Yaun)

Rebecca Yaun:
You then proceeded to smash his right hand with the backup generator!

Nick Yaun:
I think we can all agree if angry, you will hurt people! Now after last month when we talked, you were feeling better after the loss you suffered. (Cut to Ed Champion)

Ed Champion:
And in a Psychotic break, you did an entire review of “The Shootist” (Cut to Andrew Beach)

Andrew Beach:
Which led to the revelation that just because this cluster bank of bad that was this year is a bust. (Cut to Renee Miller)

Renee Miller:
Which led to you feeling like there was a second chance just not this year. (Cut to John Ross & Mike Santos)

John Ross Santos:
And if that didn’t make you feel better after the summer of hell in which you suffered a mental breakdown

Mike Santos:
And the loss of your father in which everyone still sends you our deepest sympathies and condolences, seeing you just survive a double dose of Rob Zombie… Well… (Cut to Eric Kurtzke)

Eric Kurtzke:
Let’s not beat around the bush, James, we need to know you’re not losing touch with reality… (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Or doing something to hurt myself? Well obviously, I’m physically fine, I’m doing anything and everything to keep myself sane. I’m also doing my best to return to somewhat of a status quo after everything I’ve been through. (Cut to Olivia Horvath)

Olivia Horvath:
What about the future of you and Alex? (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Unfortunately time will tell and yeah, it’s James-ese for “It’s just about over” though, how it should or could end, I don’t know, she has Emmalina’s essence and powers in her, though I wish I had stopped her from reading that letter maybe things would’ve been better off if I never met her. I know Chad would’ve been… (Cut to everyone else on the screen as they shout “STOP THINKING CHAD IS RIGHT! HE’S AN ASSHOLE!” Cut to Olivia Horvath)

Olivia Horvath:
James, do you want to know something, outside of wanting to Wax your junk for the Life As A Mermaid review, She’s out there and waiting. Speaking of Waiting, when do you think we’ll be back together in the studio? (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Safe bet would have to be sometime in March, possibly April. By then if nothing else goes wrong (Knock on Wood), we’ll be back in business, full throttle! See everyone in November, same time… (Cut to everyone on the screen.)

Everyone else (In Unison):
Same connection. (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Exactly. (James shut off the computer and it fades to black)

Which Way To "WitchHaven"?

(A Black Background with flashes of White before the words “THE ROAD SO FAR…”  “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Anthrax plays in the foreground as clips from every secondary October/Halloween adventure before cutting to James and The Team Lineup of 2016 disappearing and a semi-angry David Copperfield shouting for James before fading to back to the black background and the word “NOW” is seen with a Black Flame before fading to see James in his office at his laptop computer and clicks on the link for "WitchHaven" then cutting to a Black Screen and the words "One Viewing Later" before cutting to James as he looks as his mind has been blown away)

TLOTA:
WOW! (Cut to a flaming Iris with the words “The Last Of The Americans” in the text used in “Supernatural” before cutting to James in his office)


TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. You know it's amazing when the same group of people makes one amazingly awesome series but when they make two back to back, You can capture lightning in a bottle and that's amazing. (Cut to the Opening of WitchHaven before cutting to clips of the series as James does a voiceover)


TLOTA (Voiceover):
"WitchHaven" has the same creativity, energy, writing and great acting as "Life As A Mermaid" has and it's no surprise why that is. The reason being both shows are produced by the same production company Validus Productions and what I like the most is how it uses the right tropes from a Supernatural Detective Series flip and twist them and give us something new and unique. (Cut to James physically)


TLOTA:

Now before I begin, I just wanted to let everyone know that like "Life As A Mermaid" the producers turned the season into a movie with every bit of footage from the season used. So let's grab a mug of our favorite brew. (James gets handed a warm spiced Apple Cider off screen) Thank you! Let's take a look at the first season of "WitchHaven" (James takes a sip of the cider before spitting it out then cutting to the series as James does a voiceover)



TLOTA (Voiceover):
 We open up in Salem, Massachusetts during the time where it'd be considered wrong for a woman to do anything and not be considered a witch. Any way, we see a mother and daughter running as we see the daughter Emilia is played by Fleur Zanna. If you don't know who she is then might I suggest you check out Life As A Mermaid Season 3 for a refresher on who she is. But I digress. As the mother finds a book full of spells she tells Emilia to read a spell to get her out of there and out of harm when the local town folk corners them, it transport Emilia to Los Angeles in the year 2013. We then cut a mere five years later as Emilia has set up a private investigation firm with her friends Robert played by Ric Amaya and Joanna played by Audi Finn. While Robert complains there's no crime in a city that's been rocked by race riots, earthquakes, floods and other insane things happen that'd happen in a normal day in Los Angeles. But anyway Robert decides to take on a case which involves multiple disappearances. While that happens Emilia finds herself getting a page from the book that she read to get here and another one is found by a cloaked figure. (Cut to James shaking his head and going "Uh-oh! NO! NO!")


TLOTA:
Not again! Last time there were cloaked figures it went sideways in the MOST COLOSSAL OF WAYS! (James walks away for a second before returning) You guys thought I was really gonna shirk my responsibilities! You should know me better than that. (Cut to the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
So as that happens, Emilia tries the new spell on the page and it turns out to be a fireball spell (Show Emilia trying her fireball spell as it goes up before cutting to James as the fireball lands on James' desk and James running and getting a fire extinguisher and extinguishes the fire only to see his desk reduced to a smoldering pile of ashes)

TLOTA:
That's the second desk this year! I can't afford to keep replacing desks! (Cut to the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
So as that happens Robert looks at the latest attack, Joanna overhears him being attacked by... (Cut to James physically) 

TLOTA:
Who in the hell are they? (Cut to a still of the three as a sign saying "Wolfmen" appears and a ding is heard) Okay, not how I imagine Werewolves but eh different interpretations aren't a bad thing.(Cut to the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Worried Robert might be in over his head Joanna calls Emilia who gets there lickety split and rescues Robert while Joanna fends off a pair of detectives. Stuck between a rock and a hard place Emilia exposes herself as a witch to Robert. Robert handles it well. Just as another page is found by a man who looks like he escape from the nuthouse and a walking mound of grass. Which by coincidence is their next case which has the three being called upon by someone who looks oddly familiar to me. Anyway it turns out the escaped mental asylum patient is actually going to replace that walking mound of grass so while Rob distracts Joanna, Emilia helps him transform into the walking mound of grass. Leading the three to their next case which involves a fair amount of reconnaissance work in which a girl believes her boyfriend is hooking up with a succubus! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay, Calling... Oh wait, he's no longer producing new episodes. Looks like you're on your own.  (Cut to the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
No, I kid of course they take on the case! When it appears that the guy who is with someone who's into fairy roleplaying is trying to distance himself from their client because it turns out that the client IS the Succubus! Emilia tries a spell and does nothing and it looks like the end until... (Show clip of Joanna knocking out the Succubus with a toilet plunger before cutting to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay! Here's something I needed to know before I did this review and I asked two friends of mine who have seen "Supernatural" if the Winchester Brothers ever took on a Succubus and if so if they used a toilet plunger to take it down. They said "No". So Congrats there "WitchHaven" you actually did something more unique than a series that has been on the air since the WB was on it's last legs! That's impressive! (Cut to the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
But the crux of the matter is that Joanna who had NOT discovered that Emilia is a witch discovers it and doesn't handle it at all walking away into a patch of woods which just screams "Blair Witch". Joanna is rescued by the figure with the page from earlier who happens to be a witch herself named Atara played by Michelle Nordlander who takes Joanna to her tent as Atara makes a call to Emilia and Robert and they discover Joanna is okay thankfully and Atara knew Emilia's mother and is the keeper of the pages of... THE GRIMOIRE?! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:

ORAC! Please contact my brother at First Choice Contracting!


ORAC (Audio only):
Ten seconds ahead of you, he'll be here by the end of the review for the repairs.


TLOTA:
Thank you! RUN AWAY! (James leaps over the camera cuts to a hole in the wall as James shouts "RUN AWAY!" repeatedly before zooming back to see a cartoonish hole of James in the wall as he keeps screaming before cutting to clips of "Charmed" as James does a voiceover)



TLOTA (Voiceover):
For those unaware, I watched the series "Charmed" when it was on the WB before this Reboot happened. While I wasn't a huge fan of the series. I mean I have my favorite episodes. But anyway I remember hearing about how "The Grimoire" was in fact a book of pure EVIL and how it was used to coronate "The Source Of All EVIL"! So if "WitchHaven" made a reference to a book about Evil Magic, then guess what "WitchHaven" MY PANTS ARE OFFICIALLY DARKENED TO MIDNIGHT BLACK! (Cut to "WitchHaven"as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
But back to the matters at hand! That night they go into Atara's Tent which just like the TARDIS... Well Twelveth Doctor take it away(Cut to clip of Doctor Who Episode "The Husbands Of River Song" as The 12th Doctor enters the TARDIS and his reaction before cutting back to "WitchHaven" as James continues his voiceover) As Emilia sees that Atara practically has the rest of the book save for the cover. Atara believes she can bring Emilia back home 325 years and the look on Audi's face says VOLUMES as if to say "You're over 325 years old! DANG! What do you do to keep yourself look that young!" But again digressing, Atara says that they need to rebuild The Grimoire. After Robert asks what will happen once The Grimoire is restored and Atara deflects the question. Joanne and Emilia try to patch things up while Robert investigates more and sees Atara do things to the remains of the walking grass just as the full moon rises and Robert goes all Shatner. (Show clip of Robert groaning and crying as James says "Spock!" in different Shatner-esque inflections before cutting to later on.) So while we wait for Robert to shout out "KHAN!". Atara senses Werewolves outside her TENTIS. Emilia and Atara go outside while Joanne finds Robert has become a Werewolf himself. Uh Joanne (Cut to Joanne running and James says "Nevermind!" before cutting to Emilia and Atara defending the TENTIS) Emilia sees Atara doing things she considers inhumane to the Werewolves and stops her from hurting them and realizes Atara is just wrong and protects Robert from being tormented by Atara. The two duke it out in a magical duel and Atara says for better or worse she will help her rebuild The Grimoire which ends with Emilia cloaking the team enough to escape Atara. As Joanne shows her friends she took the rest of the pages she comes to grips with what she's been through, the three decide to do more of the Paranormal Investigation as well as the private investigative work, Stop Atara and help Emilia find her way back home. And the season ends with investigators of a more Federal nature finding a mass from the deceased Walking Grass Creature. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And that was the first season of "WitchHaven" and... it was pretty damned awesome! (Cut to clips of the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):

For a rookie season to be this incredible is a sign as to how the series will stand the test of time. The Writing easily is amazing. The Production Value is perfectly used. The acting is UBER-Strong and you can tell the series has a plan for future story arcs and seasons. I may review them further on down the road but for now I strongly suggest you check the series out on YouTube here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs-AwoHV6uZjve78kqln8Sw  Give the series a watch and enjoy a new Halloween treat this year! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And speaking of Halloween treats, I've got to get making them for trick or treaters, a Family Friendly Haunted House and a party for the Adults after Eight P.M. Yeah, I'm that kind of Halloween enjoyer. James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and That's my opinion.

The Rocky Horror Review Show


(A black screen with a pair of Red Lips slowly zooms towards the center of the screen as “Science Fiction Double Feature” sound alike plays in the foreground)

Red Lips (Singing): 
Doctor Who had his fill the Day the Earth stood still and he nearly wiped out all the Daleks. Then came The Millennium Falcon like a bat out of hell and took out the base for the Starkiller! Then something went screwy as Iron Man went kerblooey and Captain America became Enemy number one! And at an incredible pace went the whole human race in a Sharknado but they had some fun! 
(The Lips freeze but the song continues as does the singing from the lips in a still frame as the words “The Last Of The Americans in…” “The Rocky Horror Picture Review Show!” “Starring James Faraci as The Last Of The Americans” “Taylor Huff as Taylor” “Marcella Di Pasquale as Marcella” “Rebecca Yaun as Dr. Vienerschnitzel” “Chris Lee Moore as Rick Roll”, “Eric Kurtzke as Prof. Schott” “Brenda Fonseca as Paramount” “Paulo Fonseca as Johnny” “Maria Feist as Tangerine”, “Nick Yaun as Rocky Horror” “with John Ross Santos as The Forensic Scientist” are all done in melted Red Lipstick)
Science Fiction! Double Feature! Dr. Frankenstein and his creature! See Robots fighting our heroes and Francis Coleman will film the whole show Whoa! Oh, oh, Whoaaah! Welcome to the late night double feature picture show! (The Lips unfreeze and the credits stop)

I knew David E. Kelley had laughs from his belly when he saw Wonder Woman’s movie succeed! But then came Marty and Doc and they gave it a shot to try and save Reality! Captain Kirk and his crew knew they were through when The Enterprise was sent to its grave! But when Godzilla arose well everyone knows no one is safe from a…

(The Lips unfreeze and sing Oh! Oh! Oh! Whoa oh! To the Late-Night Double Feature Picture Show! Before fading to Taylor Huff and Marcella Di Pasquale from “Life As A Mermaid” and James as the three are driving down the road in James’ mom’s van and the three sing the word “Show” before the Radio announces to everyone in the van James’ Haunted House and Halloween Adult Party as James shuts the radio off.)

Taylor: 
We really want to thank you for bringing us to the Con and sacrificing your usual plans for Halloween.

TLOTA:
Well, I’m a man of my word and I promised Alex to get you and Marcella to the Con and I plan on getting you there.

Marcella:
It means a lot to us and if you ever need anything, let us know.

TLOTA:
Well, just keep making great episodes of “Life As A Mermaid” and we’re square.

(Cut to 20 minutes later as The Van is hauled away after breaking down at the far end of the Neversink Reservoir Dam and James, Marcella and Taylor are left on the side of the road.)

Taylor:
Well James have we thanked you for picking us up in a lemon?

TLOTA: 
It’s not my fault, any way where is your luggage? (Taylor and Marcella look at each other and realize “Oops! We Left them in the Van” as they try to run after the Tow Truck!) Guys! Forget it, I told them what Hotel we’re going to be staying at when they get it fixed and don’t bother trying to use your smartphones this is a dead zone for cellular calls and there’s no Uber or Lyft or rideshare or anything like that around here. (Taylor and Marcella catch up with James.)

Marcella: 
So now what?

TLOTA:
We hoof it until we get to Neversink, then I can call the Garage tell them where we’re staying until the Van is fixed and they can drop it off there also the less time complaining and more time walking will do us some good.  (The three walks down the road before fading to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
As the three make their way down the road our heroes will discover the events of one night going into someone else’s fantasy. (Cut to later that night as the rain pours down like cats and dogs while James, Taylor and Marcella make their way to a gigantic house.)

Taylor: 
James, there’s more room under the Umbrella for you to join me and Marcella.

TLOTA: 
I’m alright for now. We’re coming up to the place the old guy from the Gas Station said it’d be better for us to stay until the van is fixed! (Cut to the gigantic house as lightning strikes and thunder booms before cutting to James, Taylor and Marcella as they make their way to the gigantic house and as a sound alike of “There’s a Light Over at the Frankenstein place” plays in the foreground)

Taylor (Singing):
 In the veil of darkness of the blackest night!

Marcella (Singing):
 Burning Bright there is a guiding li-ii-iight!

TLOTA (Singing): 
Making us feel safe this ni-ii-iight!

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony):
 There’s a light (Chorus sings “Over at Der Vienerschnitzel’s”)

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony): 
There’s a lii-iiiight (Chorus sings “Burning from the depths of Hell!”)

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony): 
There’s a li-liiight in the darkest of the entire night! (Cut to the gigantic house.)

The voice of someone from the house (As sung by Chris Lee Moore):
 The darkness it flows li-ike a river on night’s streaming as Orpheus flows as the sun breaks the darkness of the sky-yy-yyy!  of the Sky-yy-yy-yy! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella as they make their way to the gigantic house)

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony): 
There’s a light (Chorus sings “Over at Der Vienerschnitzel’s”)

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony): 
There’s a light (Chorus sings “Burning from the depths of Hell!”)

TLOTA, Marcella, Taylor and the Chorus (Singing in harmony): 
There’s a li-liiight in the darkest of the entire night!
(Cut to the gigantic house as James, Marcella and Taylor make it to the front porch.)
TLOTA:
 You know this seems all too familiar. Like something I see around this time. (James snaps his fingers) Rocky Horror Picture Show! (Cut to Marcella and Taylor look at each other in shock.)

Taylor and Marcella (In Unionized shock): 
You’ve seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show? (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
 Hasn’t everybody? (Cut to audio sound alike to “Time Warp” plays in the background and James does a voiceover on stills from the movie.)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
 Created by Richard O’Brien this campy tongue in cheek tale about a couple who just got engaged and finds themselves in something out of a B-Grade Sci-fi movie of the Golden Age of Cinema this story also deals with the dangers of personal experimentation gone wrong. I think it’s partly due to Richard O’Brien having suffered throughout most of his life with Gender identity problems but also loved and used the tropes of the Sci-Fi and Fantasy movies of his childhood to help him through the problems. Another thing he used was music and let me say that the music in this Rock Opera is still far catchier today than any regurgitation of a musical today. The fact he used Rock and Roll to also help him discover himself and come up with the basis of what is as good a movie as is a cult classic that people still go to at midnight screenings. (Cut to the gigantic house as James, Marcella and Taylor stand on the front porch.)

TLOTA: 
Though how it became a Midnight Movie Cult Classic is quite interesting as well. (Taylor, Marcella and James jump back as the door opens and Rick Roll greets them.)

Rick Roll: 
Good evening, please walk this way and follow me! (Rick Roll walks away before it cuts to James as Taylor and Marcella prepare to walk the same way Rick Roll did)

TLOTA: 
Do it and you can stay here and forget the Con altogether! (The three walks into the main parlor of the house as they meet up with Rick Roll and Tangerine.)

Rick Roll: 
My name is Rick Roll and this is my sister…Tangerine! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella looking as to say to themselves “Right” before cutting to Tangerine and Rick Roll)

Tangerine: 
Our master Dr. Vienerschnitzel wasn’t expecting company tonight.

TLOTA: 
Well we just need to call the garage to let them know where we are and we’ll stay in this area. (Dull music is heard in the background.)

Marcella: 
Are we interrupting something?

Rick Roll: 
Nothing you can not be a part of.

Taylor: 
So, you’re saying we can observe if we want?

Rick Roll: 
Indeed, I am!
(“Time Warp” sound alike plays in the foreground and the same actions from the 1975 movie are done by the characters)

Rick Roll (Sing speak):
 It’s amazing! Time has no meaning! Sanity has no soul! But listen over yonder!

Tangerine (Sing speak): 
And do not wander!

Rick Roll (Sing speak): 
For we must keep control!

Rick Roll (Singing): 
I REMEMBER! DOING NOSTALGIA! THINKING OF THE MOMENTS WHEN! THE BLACKNESS WAS SCREAMING!

Rick Roll & Tangerine (Singing in harmony):
 AND THE VOICES WERE SINGING! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella being pushed into a room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN!  (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist:
 It’s just two steps forward! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony):
 AND THEN A TEN STEPS ABA-AAA-AACK! (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
Place your hands on your knees! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
THEN GIVE THEM A CLAA-AAP!  AND IF YOU SHAKE YOUR BUU-UUT THAT’S A SIGN THAT MAKES YOU CRAAAA-AZY! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN!

Tangerine (Sing speak): 
It’s so freeing! All over I’m feeling oh so incredible! In another reality, as far as my eyes can see and none of it is so dull!

Rick Roll (Sing speak): 
With a really good mind frack!

Tangerine (Sing speak): 
Your senses will be out of whack!

Rick Roll (Sing speak):
 And reality will be destroyed!

Tangerine (Sing speak): 
It’s a celebration

Rick Roll (Singing):  
ACROSS EVERY NATION!

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! (Cut to Rick Roll and Tangerine as they boogie on over to Paramount)

Paramount (Singing): 
Well I was dancing down the road and I was having thang with tall dark man who could really schwing! He rocked me till the dawn, he rolled me into the night. He had a pick-up truck and was a crazy tight! I looked at him and without a thought he brought me to his world and everything else he sought.

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN!  (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
It’s just two steps forward! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony):
 AND THEN A TEN STEPS ABA-AAA-AACK! (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
Place your hands on your knees! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
THEN GIVE THEM A CLAA-AAP!! AND IF YOU SHAKE YOUR BUU-UUT THAT’S A SIGN THAT MAKES YOU CRAAAA-AZY! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! (Paramount taps dances before cutting to James bopping his head as Taylor and Marcella smack him before cutting to Paramount as her tap dancing shoes slips on the floor and lands on James as Taylor and Marcella move out of the way and James pushes Paramount out of the way)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony):
 LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN!  (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist:
 It’s just two steps forward! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
AND THEN A TEN STEPS ABA-AAA-AACK! (Cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
Place your hands on your knees! (Cut to the room full of celebrators)

Celebrators (In Choired Harmony): 
THEN GIVE THEM A CLAA-AAP!!  AND IF YOU SHAKE YOUR BUU-UUT THAT’S A SIGN THAT MAKES YOU CRAAAA-AZY! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! LET’S DO THE NOSTALGIA AGAIN! (The music slows as everyone save for James, Taylor and Marcella collapse in exhaustion before cutting to James, Taylor and Marcella.)

TLOTA:
 So…. none of you have done the Macarena in a long time! (The build up to Sweet Transvestite plays in the foreground as Taylor and Marcella start to walk away and James follows) Come on guys! Once we make the call we’ll be here for the night and not be in the way.

Taylor:
 Look James we’re getting creeped out by being here and it’s not getting any less weird with you trying to add levity to the situation we’re in.

TLOTA:
 I understand but we’re the Doctor’s guests and the best thing to do is to ride things out with a smile on our faces and then never mention this night again.

Marcella: 
Look We’re wet, tired, cold and we can’t handle any more shocking surprises for a while! (The Doors open as “Sweet Transvestite” sound alike plays in the foreground and Dr. Vienerschnitzel wrapped in a cape comes busting in shocking Taylor and Marcella the two of them landing on James.)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak): 
How’d you do I… See you’ve met my… faithful servicemen! They’re just a little upset because he thought… you were the delivery from Amazan!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
 Don’t get strung out, on just how I LOOK don’t judge this book by its cover! I may look normal oh every day! But by night I’m a hell of another! I’m just a sweet fanvestite from fansational fanlove. Cooooom!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak): 
Now let me give you the tour. You three look like you are sure. You know how to be real funny! But if you need something more unusual maybe something visual we can take in an old Universal Monster Movie.

TLOTA (Sing Speak):
 Well I’m glad we can talk right now. Don’t need you having a cow but we hit a problem. You see our ride broke down and we’re stuck in town. Just let us borrow your phone, make our calls and everything will be awesome!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing): 
Well you three are straight up trapped well how about that! Just you three do not panic! For you see I’ve got on speed dial the most sadistic satanic mechanic! I’m just a sweet fanvestite from fansational fanlove. Cooooom!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak): 
Now you three can stay the night. (Paramount, Tangerine and Rick Roll whisper night) You can grab a bite. (Paramount, Tangerine and Rick Roll whisper bite) Maybe show you my latest creation! For you see I’m making the ultimate fan. Long Legs, Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes and a Tan! It’s oh so good in every Convention. I’m just a sweet fanvestite from fansational fanlove. Cooooom!  (Laughs to the beat of the music)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
 I’m just a sweet fanvestite from fansational fanlove. Cooooom!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak): 
So, come to my lab (Cut to Taylor and Marcella as the two look at each other before cutting to Dr. Vienerschnitzel) And see what’s on my slab (Cut to James as he looks frustrated before cutting to Dr. Vienerschnitzel) I see you shiver with antici…(Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella as Taylor and Marcella look in wonder for five seconds in silence and James in frustration lasting four of the five seconds )

TLOTA: 
OH, FOR THE LOVE OF PEAT MOSS, GET ON WITH IT!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak): 
Pation! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella)

TLOTA: 
THANKS! (Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel inside an elevator)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing): 
But Maaa-a-aaybe the niii-ght! (Cut to the outside of the elevator)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Sing Speak):  
should be the least of your frights. I’ll handle the fears, but not the sensation! (The elevator goes up as the song ends before cutting to James, Taylor and Marcella as they look up the shaft)

TLOTA:
 Am I the only one who is now scared if they’ll survive the night? (Taylor and Marcella raise their hands and James turns to see them.) Okay good to know I’m not the only one!

(Taylor and Marcella look at James with surprised disgust before cutting to 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it act as the commercial break intro and commercial return as the scene cuts to the inside of the shared room of James, Marcella & Taylor as Taylor and Marcella are undressed off screen and James is in the bathroom off screen as well)

Taylor (Off Screen): 
Come on James, a grown man in his underwear seeing a woman in her underwear is perfectly natural.

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
When they’re married or in a couple. I’m single and I have three reasons why I feel even more uncomfortable with these accommodations. Their names are Madison, Mallory & Vivian Lee!

Marcella (Off Screen): 
Ooh who are they?

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
My nieces! Madison and Mallory are teens and Vivian is a decade Madison and Mallory’s junior! Hence me being in the bathroom is essential to my sanity and decency!

Taylor (Off Screen): 
Well why did you give them your clothes?

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
They took yours as well fortunately I have a backup plan! (Sounds of a flip phone opening and the numbers 4, 2 & 8 are heard before a flash of light is seen before everything returns to normal) Taylor! Grab my glasses! (Taylor’s arm reaches into the bathroom.)

TLOTA (Off screen and one octave higher): 
Wrong glasses! (James pulls out his glasses and Taylor gets James’ glasses.)

Taylor (Off Screen): 
Okay, Now what?

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
Tap the bridge of the glasses.

Marcella (Off Screen): 
What will that do?

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
After five seconds, it’ll emit a Holographic image of clothes on the two of you. (A tap is made and a whirring noise is heard for five seconds)

Marcella (Off Screen): 
Now what?

TLOTA (Off Screen): 
Hand me my glasses. (Marcella’s arm reaches out and smacks James in the face) Thanks Marcella. (James walks into the room)

TLOTA: 
Wait, I’ll show you the clothes I picked. (James double taps the bridge of his glasses as it emits a Sonic sound for two seconds) What do you think? (Cut to Taylor and Marcella dressed in early 1900’s dresses)

Taylor: 
Seriously? (Cut to James)

TLOTA: 
What? I think it’s dignified! (Cut to Taylor and Marcella)

Marcella: 
Fashion styles have changed and women can still look dignified. (Marcella walks over grabs James’ glasses and James closes his eyes and a whirring noise is heard as Marcella’s hand gives James his glasses back as it cuts to Marcella and Taylor dressed as normal women dress this day)

Taylor & Marcella (In Unison):
 Better? (Cut to James)

TLOTA: 
Better choices than I had. (James walks over to Taylor and Marcella.)

Taylor: 
So, when did you update your glasses and I thought you had given Rick Roll your clothes?

TLOTA:
 I got them updated back in early July just in time for my clipless “Wonder Woman” review. People didn’t notice until August! And as for these, this is my usual garb when I become The Last Of The Americans. What I was wearing was a costume of “The Last Of The Americans” because I was foolishly thought things were going to be easy for me to get you to the Con and I could get back in time for me to enjoy my Halloween Adult Swim Party after taking down my family friendly Haunted House.

Marcella: 
Again, we’re sorry about that

Taylor: 
But we are grateful for the ride that could get ready for the Con on Thursday.

TLOTA:
 So why did you need me to get the two of you to the Hotel tonight?

Taylor: 
Get a feel for the Hotel, help set up the booth for the Con the next day, meet some of the locals. The usual stuff one does when they’re from out of town and want to soak in the local culture. (The door creeks open as Tangerine comes in)

Tangerine: 
My apologies for interrupting you but Dr. Vienerschnitzel demands your presence in his laboratory to see his creation come to life! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella)

Marcella: 
Tell him we’re on our way. (Cut to Tangerine at the doorway)

Tangerine:
 Absolutely and may I say you two ladies look rather delectable maybe with some Fava Beans and a nice Chianti! (Tangerine walks away creeping out James, Taylor and Marcella as James, Taylor and Marcella follow Tangerine to the Elevator.)

Taylor: 
Okay what was that all about?

TLOTA: 
Well, apart from myself and the two of you, everyone is seeing the two of you in your underwear!

 (Taylor and Marcella clench their fists before cutting to Dr. Vienerschnitzel’s laboratory as the Elevator dings and Taylor and Marcella walk out angrily and James is on the backside of the elevator with two black eyes and seeing a circle of animated tweeting birds around his head before cutting to Dr. Vienerschnitzel as The Doctor prepares to bring life)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
Ah our guests have arrived! Behold my creation! All it needs now is my special chemical composition and a concentrated amounts of lightning bolts then VOILA! My creation shall have LIFE! (A Strange device comes down) Rick Roll if you would please! (Rick Roll starts to open the valves to the composition) NOW THE ROOF! OPEN IT! (Rick Roll opens the roof as Lightning strikes and the body inside the tank convulses) OH ROCKY! (The body inside begins to move only as another body pops out of the tank which happens to be Rocky Balboa this time played by Nick Slimmer.)

Rocky Balboa: 
Hey yo, Thanks for the boost Doc! Just what I needed to get me through Creed II! Later! (Cut to James, Taylor and Marcella)

TLOTA: 
Was that really your creation? (Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
No, you fool! Behold THE REAL ROCKY! (Cut to the Creature as the face and Body is revealed and it escapes the tub and “Sword of Damocles” sound alike plays in the background)

Rocky (Singing): 
The Sword of Caliverti is a hanging over the land and I fear the man who holds it in his hands! Oh, what is me? Oh, Life Is a Mystery! Oh, I can see that I’m at the hands of a really big follower! I woke up this morning with a hangover as big as Canada! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “That Ain’t A Crime!”) Of course, I also was in Attica! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “That Ain’t A Crime!”) Oh, what is me? Oh, Life Is a Mystery! Oh, I can see that I’m at the hands of a really big follower! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime! Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime! YEAH!”) The Sword of Caliverti is a hanging over the land! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime!!”) And I fear the man who holds it in their hands! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime!!”) Oh, what is me? Oh, Life Is a Mystery! Oh, I can see that I’m at the hands of a really big follower! (Celebrators sing in choired harmony “Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime! Sha-Na-Na That Ain’t A Crime! YEAH! Cha-Cha-Cha!” before Dr. Vienerschnitzel slaps Rocky)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
Oh Rocky! Oh, My Rocky! Follow me and I will show you what it means to be a fan! (Cut to Taylor, Marcella and James as instrumental of “I can make you a man” plays in the background)

Taylor: 
Okay, James I’m gonna ask once and then I’m smacking you stupid. Did you dance while Rocky sang?

TLOTA: 
I couldn’t help it was very catchy, like the soundtrack to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

(Cut to stills from “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as James does a voiceover on stills from the movie.)

TLOTA (Voiceover): 
I dare people not to get up and hit the dance floor when the soundtrack gets going. I’ve heard from one of my friends that their school always performed “Time Warp” around Halloween and I’ve been to a Halloween parties where the songs from Frank-N-Furter’s floor show was played and things got freaky! Plus, I can’t even count how many musical numbers from high schools who decide to perform the stage version of the musical there are on YouTube. As a matter of fact, one of the better renditions of the Musical and the movie was the “GLEE” episode “Rocky Horror GLEE Show” and although Fox tried to do a “Live TV Musical Version” of the movie and it tried to recreate the experience of seeing the movie and experiencing the music on TV and it tanked because you have to go to the live experience to actually get it. (An engine revs up as it cuts back to Dr. Vienerschnitzel’s Lab as the freezer’s door opens and a man in black on a motorcycle zooms out and everyone steps back!)

Paramount: 
JOHNNY! (Cut to Johnny looking like Tommy Wiseau’s Johnny from “The Room”)

Johnny: 
Hai Babe, I got this for You-ooo! (Cut to Taylor,Marcella and James as he pulls out the Double-Barreled Handgun)

TLOTA: 
OH NO YOU DON’T! OH NO YOU DON’T! COME HERE YOU SON OF A…! (James runs out of frame as Gunshots are heard as Taylor and Marcella look on in fear and shock)

TLOTA (Audio only): 
DON’T RUN! DON’T RUN! COME HERE I JUST WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND! (A Yipe and a thud is heard as James walks back cleaning blood off the gun)

TLOTA: 
What? (Dr. Vienerschnitzel saunters in)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
Well, I understand where you’re coming from. It was a mercy killing. But did you have to do it with such violence?

TLOTA: 
I have enough Cult Classics to deal with in this thing. (Cut to stills of “The Room” and “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover): 
The reason “Rocky Horror Picture Show” became a midnight cult classic was because of Kismet because when it was released somewhat nationwide it BOMBED! Critics thrashed it, mainstream audiences hated it. However, one theater in New York decided to show the movie at midnight and slowly but surely the audience grew and grew. When the news of this reached 20th Century Fox, a young upstart exec thought this was a smarter way than trying to make the mainstream understand it. So, when it found its audience, that was when people embraced the movie. The reason “The Room” succeeded in becoming a cult classic is because the movie is ungodly WEIRD! How could something that incoherently insane be considered a movie? And the fact people wanted to see how bad it was made it a cult classic because of dumb luck! There’s a difference between kismet and dumb luck. Kismet is fate mixed with destiny and luck. Dumb luck is just that, Luck that wasn’t smart enough to know how lucky it is! (Cut to Taylor, Marcella and James in the lab with Dr. Vienerschnitzel.)

TLOTA: 
It’d be as much dumb luck as say an old Professor friend of mine finding his way here! (A Zooming blur nearly knocks over Taylor, Marcella, James and Dr. Vienerschnitzel as a crashing noise is heard two seconds later.) HOLY SCHOTT! (Cut to the wall as a man in a wheelchair is stuck head first before Taylor, James and Marcella get him out!)

Professor Schott: 
Oh, Vielen Dank Damen und (Gasps) HERR Faraci!

TLOTA:
Wie sind Sie Professor?

Professor Schott: 
Ich war besser, ich denke, es wäre einfacher, Englisch zu sprechen!

TLOTA: 
Gute Idee Professor! (Dr. Vienerschnitzel jumps in angrily!)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
I KNEW IT! YOU SENT THEM DIDN’T YOU!

Professor Schott: 
No, I did not, I am looking for my nephew Johnny! (James, Taylor & Marcella look at each other realizing what James did with a nervous smile on the three)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
Well how is it that you know this… absurdity?

Professor Schott: 
Who? James? He was a student in my science course!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
So, you admit you sent him to see then try to steal the secret formula to my success.

TLOTA:
No! I am being honest with you now. I am on my way to a Convention and I was taking my friends to it as well! That is the One Hundred Percent truth!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:

SILENCE Let the professor and his crew stay for the night but in separate rooms. (Dissolve cut to The Forensic Scientist in his Library.)

The Forensic Scientist: 
As The night went on one of our two Heroines found themselves bored and looked around the manor eventually returning to the Laboratory (Cut to Taylor in the Laboratory)

Taylor: 
Oh, hey there, Rocky, is it? (Rocky grunts yarp) Look I want to thank you for being so kind, patient and understanding unlike your creator. Trust me, I’ve been hearing it from so many (“Touch-A, Touch-A Touch Me” Sound alike plays as Taylor begins to sing)

 I’ve been feeling down and out, in a tailspin. I'd never known success before. (Cut to Paramount and Tangerine)

Paramount: 
You mean she?

Tangerine: 
Uh huh (Cut to Taylor and Rocky)

Taylor (Singing):
I thought there was no real understanding what success had for me. I thought it led to hurting those around me. But now that I know what I need to grow! I’ve got the brass ring and I ain’t letting go!

(Cut to Paramount and Tangerine)

Paramount and Tangerine: 
Go! Go! GO!

(Cut to Taylor and Rocky)
Taylor (Singing):
I’m lowering my defenses! I’m giving up the resistance! I’ve got a need to fill and you’re the only one who can fit my bill at my insistence! Rock-A, Rock-A Rock Me! Don’t stop until IIII Scream! Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me! Creature o-of delight! If-a anything goes when I suck on your nose! I’ll lick you oh so clean from you head down to your toes!

(Cut to Paramount and Tangerine)

Paramount and Tangerine:
 Toes! Toes! TOES!

(Cut to Taylor and Rocky)

Taylor (Singing):
And that’s just a good percentage of what I can do with my independence! I can tell that you are a man and I’m the one who can help you go the distance! Rock-A, Rock-A Rock Me! Don’t stop until IIII Scream! Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me! Creature o-of delight!

(Cut to Paramount and Tangerine)

Paramount: 
Rock-A, Rock-A Rock Me!

Tangerine:
Don’t stop until IIII Scream!

Paramount:
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me!

Tangerine:
Creature o-of delight!

(Cut to Taylor and Rocky)

Taylor (Singing):
Oh Rock-A, Rock-A Rock Me! Don’t stop until IIII Scream! Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me! Creature o-of delight!

 (Cut to James, Dr. Vienerschnitzel, Marcella, The Forensic Scientist, Professor Schott, Paramount, Tangerine and Rick Roll as it dissolves between one of them saying “Creature Of Delight” and the couple getting it on before cutting back to Taylor and Rocky)

Taylor (Singing):
Creature o-of deli-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

 (The echo of Taylor scream reaches the floor everyone else is on)

TLOTA: 
Say Professor, did you hear a (Mimics Taylor’s IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII)?

Professor Schott:
Why yes, I did hear a (Mimics Taylor’s IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII)!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
I too heard a (Mimics Taylor’s IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII) and it sounds like it came from the Laboratory! (Everyone loads up into the elevator before cutting to the Laboratory)

Marcella:
We heard a (Mimics Taylor’s IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII) coming from here would Rocky know where’d come from

(Cut to Rocky Balboa outside of Rocky’s Tank)

Rocky Balboa: 
Hey yo, I think that (Mimics Taylor’s IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII) came from in the tank! (Cut to the others)

TLOTA:
What are you still doing here?

(Cut to Rocky Balboa outside of Rocky’s Tank)

Rocky Balboa: 
Well you see I’m just waitin’ for my ride! (Taylor and Rocky pop up out of the tank before cutting to James)

TLOTA:
OH MY GOD! (Cut to Marcella)

Marcella:
TAYLOR?! (Cut to Taylor)

Taylor:
MARCELLA! (Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
ROCKY! (Cut to Rocky Balboa)

Rocky Balboa:
Yo! (Cut to James)

TLOTA: 
NOT YOU!

(Cut to Marcella)

Marcella:
TAYLOR?! (Cut to Taylor)

Taylor:
MARCELLA! (Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
ROCKY! (Cut to Rocky Balboa)

Rocky Balboa:
Yo! (Cut to James)

TLOTA:

NOT YOU! (A Gong is rung before cutting to Tangerine in the elevator)

Tangerine:
I figured if you were all awake, maybe you’d like a bite to eat? (Cut to an overhead shot of the group.)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
Yes, thank you Tangerine that would be most welcomed especially with tensions now at a climax.

(Cut to everyone in the dining room as it cuts to James and Professor Schott)

Professor Schott:
So, none of you have seen Johnny.

TLOTA:
Uh not recently.

(Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
I did when he stopped off for a night. He’s still around!

(Cut to Taylor and Marcella)

Marcella:
You know I must ask…. (Marcella whispers into Taylor’s ear and Taylor whispers back and Marcella’s eyes bulge out of her head) YOWZA!

Taylor: 
And that was after James decided to check in on me!

Marcella:
Same here. (Cut to James and Professor Schott!)

TLOTA:
I didn’t check in on either of you, I thought it was you two checking in on me and Professor Schott!

Professor Schott:
You know I think it was Johnny! He would always do something that silly.

(Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
ENOUGH SUBTERFUGE! (Dr. Vienerschnitzel pulls off the tablecloth to reveal Johnny’s actual remains and everyone screams) It was I who did it all including killing Johnny! (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
I thought I did!

(Cut to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
Sad to say that was the REAL Tommy Wiseau. Nevertheless, I did it all, except for you James you refused me. Why? (Cut to James)

TLOTA: 
It’s called saving myself for the future Mrs. James Faraci Thank You very little! So yeah call me a virgin if you will but you know at least I still have my dignity and the honor of being a man of my word and I hope you didn’t go near Taylor (James turns his head to the right as Taylor nervously frowns in shame before James turns his head to the left) Marcella?! (Marcella nervously frowns in shame as James sighs in defeat before cutting to Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
Don’t deny it, I did the both of you and it was FUN!

(“Wise Up Janet Weiss” sound alike plays in the background as Dr. Vienerschnitzel grabs Taylor and the two try to fight in the elevator as Dr. Vienerschnitzel sings)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
I’ve said it once and it’s enough you better smarten up, Taylor Huff! Your little pie crust was OH So tough! You better smarten up Taylor Huff! (Cut to James and Marcella as they carry Professor Schott with them up to the laboratory before cutting back to Taylor and Dr. Vienerschnitzel as they reach the laboratory)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
You were so willing and OH SO FILLING!  Though You were as sensual as a pencil the two of us making, tell me as we made it did you hear the bird as you screamed or was it all faking! (Taylor kicks Dr. Vienerschnitzel in the midsection as James, Professor Schott and Marcella reach the lab at the same time Taylor and Dr. Vienerschnitzel.)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
You’ve had your time and it was enough. You better smarten up Taylor Huff! The Magnetizer will suffice for ya! (A Switch is thrown causing Taylor, James, Marcella and Professor Schott to be stuck in place)

Taylor:
My legs! They’re stuck!  Marcella, You too?

Marcella:
‘Fraid so! Professor can you move at all?

Professor Schott:
Afraid not Frauliens!

(James taps the side of his glasses and a sonic sound is emitted before he taps it again cutting the sonic sound)

TLOTA: 
Just as I thought, A Sonic magnet! Okay, you know there is Iron in our blood and Iron is a ferrous mineral. (Taylor and Marcella raise their hands in frustration)

Taylor and Marcella (In unison):
ENGLISH PLEASE!

TLOTA:
 It means it’s attracted to a magnet! Well in this case the Magnet is enhanced by a sonic frequency isolating the Iron and any other mineral attracted by a magnet in our blood, freezing us in place!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
YOU ARE! SO SMART! Quake in fear you fool! A mental mindfrack can be nice! (Marcella bites Dr. Vienerschnitzel’s hand as it touches Marcella’s face.)

Marcella:
You won’t get away with this you creep!

Professor Schott:
Yet you can try because you are not from here!

TLOTA:
Professor, you mean to tell me our host is not from this country?

Professor Schott:
Not even this planet and if he tries to escape he’ll successfully tear this planet apart.

Taylor:
So, everyone and thing on earth will be no more?

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
NO MORE! FOREVERMORE! TAYLOR!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
You better smarten up Taylor Huff! You better smarten up, build yourself up, you better smarten up! (Cut to the Forensic Scientist)

The Forensic Scientist:
And then James, Marcella and Taylor shouted. (Cut to the laboratory)

TLOTA, Marcella & Taylor (Singing in harmony):
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! (Taylor smacks Dr. Vienerschnitzel)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
DON’T GET MAD OR HOT UNDER THE COLLAR! I’M JUST A LITTLE CLOSER!

TLOTA (Singing): 
YOU BETTER NOT GO NEAR HER OR I SWEAR YOU’VE PAID YOUR WAY TO HELL! VIENERSCHNITZEL! (Dr. Vienerschnitzel snaps his fingers and a flash frame of the word “Medusifier” is seen before James is frozen in a statue-esque filter around him!)

Professor Schott(Singing): 
YOU BETTER NOT GO NEAR HER OR I SWEAR YOU’VE PAID YOUR WAY TO HELL! VIENERSCHNITZEL! (Dr. Vienerschnitzel snaps his fingers and a flash frame of the word “Medusifier” is seen before Professor Schott is frozen in a statue-esque filter around him!)

Taylor and Marcella (Singing in Harmony): 
YOU BETTER NOT GO NEAR HER… (Dr. Vienerschnitzel snaps his fingers and a flash frame of the word “Medusifier” is seen before Taylor and Marcella are frozen in a statue-esque filter around them!)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
While I’m at it, do it to Rocky and Paramount!

Paramount:
Now wait a damned… (Dr. Vienerschnitzel snaps his fingers and a flash frame of the word “Medusifier” is seen before Rocky and Paramount are frozen in a statue-esque filter around them!)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
RICK ROLL, TANGERINE! PREPARE THEM! COME! IT IS TIME FOR THE FLOOR SHOW!

(Cut to the Forensic Scientist)

The Forensic Scientist:
After a few hours under the care of Tangerine and Rick Roll had gotten ready but little did they know what they were unleashing (Cut to the theater as the curtain opens as Dr. Vienerschnitzel come through the curtains before the curtains shows the statues made to his image.)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
Welcome as I show you my latest creation and my work. BEGIN THE MUSIC

(“Floor Show medley” sound alike plays and Paramount is de Medusified and sings and dances)

Paramount (Singing):
It was amazing when it began! You see I was a Viener fan! But it was over when he made it and then came his “Ultimate Fan”! Now my mental health is hanging off a rope! Cause I found me a brand-new dope! OH! aggrandize my world keep me away from the reality! (Paramount points to Rocky as he becomes de Medusified and sings and dances)

Rocky (Singing):
I’m only a half-day old, yet such a sight to behold! Yet no one has to be told that every one of my urges are totally controlled! Now the only thing I trust is my hands and they can’t rust! Oh ooooh oh OH! aggrandize my world keep me away from the reality! (Rocky points to James as he becomes de Medusified and sings and dances)

TLOTA (Singing):
Oooh, I can’t go farther, PLEAAASE Forgive Me Father! I’ll be loyal just you see! Take myself away from me! Where’s my spirit, Now I see, I feel human what’s happening? WOW! Here it goes again! (James points to Taylor and Marcella as they become de Medusified and sings and dances)

Taylor (Singing):
Ooooh now that we’ve been released!

Marcella (Singing):
All the bad thoughts they are decreased!

Taylor and Marcella (Singing in Harmony): 
Inhibitions they are deceased! Something new is here!

Marcella (Singing):
The band has broken!

Taylor (Singing):
Our hearts are swollen! It’s been so fun since Rocky was rollin’

Marcella (Singing):
The thrust is so severe! (The curtains open again to show the Manic-Expression.com logo with Dr. Vienerschnitzel on the top of the dot.)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel (Singing):
Whatever happened to Christy Romano, the girl who every guy loved on Kim Possible and the Shia LaBeouf show! As she endured all of Shia’s screams, I could see her dreams being flushed down the drain! Surrender to the total rapture! Dive into the waters of the feel of flesh! Exotic dreams beyond all human pleasure and personal hopes are your treasure eternally! Can you all feel it? WHOA-OA-OH! Don’t fake it! Make it!

TLOTA, Paramount, Rocky, Dr. Vienerschnitzel, Taylor and Marcella (Singing in Harmony): 
Don’t fake it! Make it!

TLOTA, Paramount, Rocky, Dr. Vienerschnitzel, Taylor and Marcella (Singing in Harmony): 
Don’t fake it! Make it!

(Professor Schott becomes de Medusified and talks to James)

Professor Schott:
James, we must find a way out!

TLOTA:
I don’t think I can make it! My brains are starting to get warped!

Professor Schott: 
You must be strong! You must hold on! Do not fall for the trap! Or your life will be sapped…

Professor Schott (Singing):
By the wro-oong GIRL! (A blaster shot breaks the musical number as James protects Taylor, Marcella and Professor Schott)

Rick Roll:
 Vienerschnitzel, it's all over! The mission is a failure! Your lifestyle's too extreme! I'm now the commander! You now are the prisoner! We return to fanlove.com! Ready the teleport beam!

Dr. Vienerschnitzel: 
Never! NEVER! YOU’LL HAVE TO KILL ME BEFORE YOU CONDEMN ME!

TLOTA (Sounding like Tim Curry):
THAT CAN BE ARRANGED! (Cut to Everyone turning to look at James)

Taylor:
James? Are you okay?

TLOTA (Sounding like Tim Curry):
Push me, please. Harder, please.

 (Cut to Everyone looking at James)

Marcella: 
 James, have you lost what little sense you had in your head?

TLOTA (Sounding like Tim Curry):
No, Communism was just a Red Herring!

(Cut to Everyone looking at James while he recites King Chicken’s backstory)

Paramount:
Hey Doc, Am I gonna be doing what he’s doing?

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
I have no clue! This is unprecedented! This is amazing!

 TLOTA (Sounding like Tim Curry):
The black spot? You dare to give me the black spot? Drawn on a page torn from a page from the bible. You tore a page from the holy scriptures, to make a pirate’s death sentence. Oh, the red-hot gates of hell are creeping open. Satan is heating his pokers for you for you, you blasphemous heathens. Fall down on your knees and beg for deliverance from damn…. (James spazzes out before cutting to everyone looking in absolute fear or wonder if James is going to explode right then and there before cutting to James Stabilizing)

TLOTA (Sounding like Tim Curry):
Excuse me sir but do you have Prince Albert in a can? Ya do? Well ya better let the poor guy out! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! (Cut to Everyone looking at James while he continues to Wa-Ha!)

Dr. Vienerschnitzel:
I don’t know what is happening! I swear I don’t know if I can cure him!

Professor Schott:
I think I know what is wrong with Herr Faraci, the mixture of the Sonic devices in his glasses, mixed with the Sonic Magnetizer combined with the Madusifier and everything that happened has left his cerebrum and other control centers in his brain completely beyond repair. In short…(Professor Schott stands up out of his wheelchair and shocks everyone as his suit is slowly replaced with The Last Of The Americans’ usual garb and takes the sonic glasses off of James and takes the morpher off of James’ garter belt before James says “Have A Lovely Day” in the Tim Curry voice and dissolves into a puddle of goo and Professor Schott takes off his glasses and pulls his holographic mask is taken off to reveal the real James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and he puts on his sonic glasses as 6:23-7:33 of “A Good Man” by Murray Gold plays in the background)

TLOTA:
You owe me a Flesh Based Avatar DOC!

(Cut to everyone else)

Taylor: 
Would someone mind filling in the people who are not SCI-FI aficionados?

(Cut to James)

TLOTA:
Simple, I knew Dr. Vienerschnitzel has been trying for a while to build his monster but believe it or not he’s evaded all earthly laws, I knew going in would be a mistake on my part but I knew if I didn’t he’d continue in his experiment which I see he succeeded in. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my device through until the shield was deactivated, which was around the time Rocky had been completed the double did that when he looked at the panel as that was being brought to life. I had no intentions of shirking my responsibilities to either You or Marcella it just turned out that I had one opportunity to end that madman next to you and by happenstance help you get to the con.

(Cut to Rick Roll and Tangerine)

Tangerine:
 He shall face judgement back on fanlove.com!

(Cut to James)

TLOTA: 
Still better safe than sorry. (James pulls out SPD Morpher) You are charged with multiple murders, multiple violations of the Space Patrol Delta treaty of 1982 and every violation of the entire Shadow Proclamation! Judgement Mode! (The SPD Morpher goes between a green circle and a red x before settling on the red x) Guilty! Okay, you two can take him back and no one has to die! (Rocky tries to run to Dr. Vienerschnitzel before he was shot by Rick Roll and Paramount is hit by a stray from Tangerine and Dr. Vienerschnitzel is shot as he tries to go to Rocky and James runs to Rick Roll and Tangerine, pulls out his Sonic Screwdriver disabling Rick Roll and Tangerine’s blasters) DAMN IT, I SAID NO ONE HAD TO DIE DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!

(Cut to Rick Roll and Tangerine)

Rick Roll:
When someone is found guilty no matter how they are incarcerated The Guilty Party and those associated who willing aided him are executed on site!

TLOTA:
Well what about the two of you? I guess when you broke the musical number Your allegiance ended. Well then allow me to say You have one galactic hour to get off my planet before I call the authorities.

Tangerine:
The Proper authorities have been notified as they have been and we have been cleared to leave.

TLOTA: 
Fine. But if you ever come back here, consider yourselves Grass! Ladies! To the Wheelchair! (Cut to James as he, Taylor and Marcella go to the Wheelchair)

Marcella:
Now what? There’s only room for one!

TLOTA: 
Wait one second. (James taps the bridge of his glasses as molecules surround the three as it becomes James’ Time and Space Device and it disappears out of the building before cutting to the outside as the house launches into outer space before cutting to James, Marcella and Taylor as they look up into the sky)

Taylor:
We’ll never have a full explanation as to why and how things got so messed up aren’t we?

TLOTA: 
Yep!

Marcella:
Sort of like how the Rocky Horror Picture Show stay so well known to everyone.

TLOTA: 
There is a reason.

(Cut to audio sound alike to “Time Warp” plays in the background and James does a voiceover on stills from the movie.)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Because it resonates to everyone. No matter what their race, gender, political affiliation, personal orientation or whatever makes us different on the outside. Because we somehow find some common ground with the characters or the Rock Opera style as to how the story of “Frankenstein” is done or just because it is FUN and with everything we are dealing with, we need FUN a lot more. Maybe we need to see something fun done the right way unlike the Live TV remake that happened around this time last year and this is FUN in a unique way. Is it for everyone? Well I wouldn’t show it to anyone under sixteen but I see why everyone would like it and for many who were and a part of the experience would pass it on to the next generation but if you’re going to do so, do it carefully. (Cut to James, Marcella and Taylor outside the crater of where the manor was)

Taylor:
Well can I ask something? Was Professor Schott real? Was Johnny real? (Cut to “Johnny” standing by the minivan)

Johnny:
There was no Johnny! I am Johnny but everyone knows me as someone else. (Johnny takes off his mask to reveal himself to be Tommy Wiseau played by Paulo Fonseca)

Tommy Wiseau:
I am Tommy Wiseau! (Cut to James, Marcella and Taylor outside the crater of where the manor was)

Marcella:
So, when James “Killed” you?
(Cut to Tommy Wiseau standing by the minivan)
Tommy Wiseau:
He shot me with Mel! (Cut to James, Marcella and Taylor outside the crater of where the manor was)
TLOTA:
I think he means Blanks! (Taylor and Marcella go “OH!” before cutting to Tommy Wiseau standing by the Minivan)

Tommy Wiseau:
I have to go now! Here are your keys to the van! Bye! (Tommy Wiseau walks away leaving Taylor, Marcella and James understandably confused.)

TLOTA: 
I’ll tell you everything about the plan later. (Taylor and Marcella throw their hands up in defeat and walk off screen) I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and... One moment. (Cut to the Forensic Scientist’s library.)

TLOTA: 
Dude, I’ve got this. (The Forensic Scientist walks away as “Superheroes” sound alike from the 2:20-3:03 mark plays in the background)

TLOTA (Sing Speak):
And somewhere out there, in the depths of space. Lies a bright and stable sun and on its third satellite the human race! Through their own ego, lead to everyone dying and somewhere out there…God is crying! (James walks away from the brightly lit globe as backup singers sing “CRY-Y-Y-ING!” and James closes the door as the globe shuts off.)
