00:36 Whoa! Come on, come on, let's go, we're getting late.
00:40 What's the rush?
00:42 Fright night at the Majestic Theatre.
00:44 Gor-Ram, a triple feature marathon. We got three passes.
00:47 Cool. What's playing?
00:49 Who cares? Let's go.
00:51 I've been to Fright Night and I'm never going back.
00:57 Why not?
00:59 Because Frank's afraid of the dark, remember?
01:02 [Laughter]
01:04 I'm not going back.
01:06 Because you sit in that movie theatre for so long,
01:09 you start to forget that the real world even exists.
01:13 The only thing that seems real is the horror movie up on the screen.
01:25 That's what my story's about.
01:27 You know when you get really scared,
01:30 you can always tell yourself that it's just a movie.
01:33 But sometimes a movie seems so real
01:37 that it's hard to tell the difference between what's make-believe
01:42 and what's really there.
01:52 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,
01:55 I call this story...
01:57 The Tale of the Midnight Magic.
02:03 I wanted to show you the view.
02:08 It's like no other.
02:11 [Music]
02:40 Enjoy the film, ma'am?
02:42 Everybody's a critic.
02:49 Let's go. This place is depressing.
02:52 I gotta clean the house first.
02:54 Six bucks? That's it?
03:05 One popcorn, two sodas. Pete bought second soda.
03:09 Friday's supposed to be a good night.
03:12 Six bucks is a good night.
03:15 Well, this job's getting tough.
03:17 Had to pick up two of these things tonight.
03:19 Make jokes. You're gonna laugh when they shut this place down?
03:23 No, they'll never close the outhouse. What's the line mark?
03:26 Tell that to the owners. They don't like losing money.
03:29 Is everything busted around here?
03:31 Is everything busted around here?
03:33 This place would fall apart without you.
03:43 Well, it's falling apart anyway.
03:45 Maybe we can reuse these.
03:47 Hey, do you really think they're gonna shut us down?
03:53 I don't know. But I'm applying for a job over at the Quad.
03:57 The Quad? That's a multiplex.
03:59 They cut lines around the block. I need the job.
04:02 Hey, uh, you wanna get something to eat?
04:06 Oh, no. I got homework. Thanks anyway.
04:11 Pete couldn't stand to see the Rialto die.
04:21 So he started a campaign to keep it open.
04:27 It wasn't just his job he was worried about.
04:30 Pete loved movies and loved the old theater.
04:34 But it was no use.
04:38 Unless a miracle happened, the Rialto was doomed.
04:43 Oh, wait!
04:49 Sorry. Thanks.
04:51 I'll help with the plexiglass.
04:53 Don't bother. No one comes in when we're open.
04:57 So how's the campaign going, Don Quixote?
05:11 I went to the zoning commission to try to get landmark status.
05:15 It's not gonna be easy.
05:18 [ Whirring ]
05:20 I hate to break this to you, Pete,
05:26 but I think you're just dreaming.
05:29 Why don't you just--
05:31 Uh, we're not open for an hour!
05:46 Yo, come back in an hour!
05:49 Who are you?
06:08 Fink's the name. Dr. Fink.
06:11 Dr. Fink?
06:13 Fink with a "vuh, vuh, vuh."
06:16 Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
06:21 We're not open yet.
06:23 That smell!
06:25 It's wonderful!
06:27 No modern theater has that smell!
06:30 It's stale popcorn.
06:32 Look, what do you want?
06:34 It's not what I want, lad.
06:37 It's what you want.
06:39 Is this your handiwork?
06:42 Yeah.
06:44 Then I've come to the right place.
06:47 [ Grunts ]
06:49 Guys, I'm not back. I'm calling the police.
06:52 No. No.
06:54 Wait.
06:56 Mars! Mars!
07:00 I couldn't have designed it better myself!
07:04 Uh, look, you're not supposed to be here, okay?
07:07 What is this?
07:09 Who are you?
07:12 Fink's the name. Dr. Fink.
07:15 With a "vuh, vuh, vuh."
07:17 Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying.
07:20 My good man, I've come to save your theater.
07:25 And it won't cost you a dime.
07:31 And I am not a nutbag.
07:40 I am a filmmaker. At least, I used to be.
07:44 Back when theaters like this would come in place.
07:48 Back before widescreens,
07:51 before color, before sound.
07:55 Back when films tried to stir the imagination,
08:01 not bludgeon it.
08:03 How old are you?
08:06 Old enough to know that things have changed.
08:10 Look, pal.
08:12 My films were quite popular, you know.
08:15 They always had a certain...
08:18 magic.
08:20 How did you do that?
08:22 A film I made many years ago.
08:26 A horror film?
08:28 Really?
08:30 A vampire film, to be precise.
08:33 It's quite unique, for in my story,
08:37 the vampire wins.
08:40 What's your angle, pal?
08:43 My good man, I make you a promise.
08:48 Show my film in your theater,
08:51 and people will flock to see it.
08:53 Your fortunes will turn,
08:56 and you'll make far more than six bucks a night.
09:03 A black-and-white silent film
09:06 is gonna turn this place around?
09:08 That ain't a vampire movie. That's a fairy tale.
09:12 You don't have to believe me.
09:15 Just show my film once, and you'll see.
09:20 As for payment...
09:22 Ah, here we go.
09:24 I don't want money.
09:27 All I ask is that once your success
09:31 is assured,
09:33 you give me one night a week of your choosing
09:37 to show my other films to the public.
09:40 If this film can do as you say,
09:43 I'll give you three nights, plus a cut of the vending.
09:46 I don't want your popcorn money.
09:49 Just one night a week.
09:54 Do we have a deal?
09:59 Wonderful!
10:01 You're a wise man.
10:03 Look out!
10:05 Look, buddy, maybe you'd better...
10:08 Where'd he go?
10:12 Back to Mars, where he came from.
10:15 So do we show it?
10:18 The guy's loony. Throw it out.
10:23 Pete stuck the movie in the projection booth
10:26 and forgot all about it.
10:28 But he didn't forget his mission to save the reality.
10:31 Though it was looking pretty bad.
10:34 The bills were piling up,
10:37 and ticket sales were going down.
10:40 It was only a matter of time
10:45 before the owners would pull the plug
10:47 and shut the old movie down.
10:49 Then, one Saturday night,
10:52 things took an interesting turn.
10:55 You wanted to see us?
11:06 Yeah.
11:08 Something tells me this is bad news.
11:14 What's bad news?
11:16 Something tells me this is bad news.
11:19 So?
11:23 I just got the word.
11:25 We close in two weeks.
11:28 No way! They can't close down a landmark.
11:44 I think maybe they can.
11:47 Now what?
11:59 What happened? I don't know.
12:10 I'll go handle the roof liners.
12:13 Wait, wait.
12:15 I've got an idea.
12:19 I can't have your attention.
12:22 We've...
12:24 We've had technical difficulties with tonight's film
12:28 and won't be able to continue with the showing.
12:31 But we've got a special surprise.
12:36 We're going to be showing a classic film
12:39 from the golden age of silent movies instead.
12:43 And if you stay for the showing
12:46 and are completely satisfied,
12:48 you'll still get a full refund when you leave.
12:51 This better be good, young lady.
12:54 My time is valuable.
12:57 Enjoy the show.

13:21 ## [Bell Tolling]
13:24 I was so scared.
13:26 So good I'll probably have nightmares for a week.
13:30 Show more classics like that, kid,
13:33 and you might get a couple more customers.
13:36 See you tomorrow.
13:39 Good night. Tell your friends.
13:42 They loved it. No one wanted a refund.
13:47 Yes!
13:49 We got a hit! Yeah!
13:54 Let's hug again!
13:56 Um, Pete. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean that.
13:59 Oh, no.
14:01 It's exactly what that Dr. Vink guy said would happen.
14:05 Oh, yeah, I guess it is.
14:08 Weird.
14:11 Let's talk this over. Come on.

18:59 You know what? I just had the weirdest dream.
19:02 What? I thought I saw Nosferatu step out of the movie.
19:06 I think you've been working here too long.

19:13 ## [Orchestra]
19:16 ## [Orchestra]
19:19 ## [Orchestra]
19:22 Katie, I know you think I'm kind of a geek.
19:26 You're not a geek, Pete. You're a nerd.
19:30 I'm kidding.

19:36 ## [Orchestra]
19:39 ## [Orchestra]
19:42 ## [Orchestra]
19:45 ## [Orchestra]
19:48 Well, I guess you know that I kind of like you and stuff.
19:56 It's okay, Pete. I kind of like you too.
20:01 ## [Orchestra]
20:04 ## [Orchestra]
20:07 ## [Orchestra]
20:10 ## [Orchestra]
20:13 ## [Orchestra]
20:16 Mr. Kristoff? Mr. Kristoff?
20:20 ## [Orchestra]
20:23 Are you okay?
20:26 What's wrong with it? I don't know.
20:30 Oh, gross. I'll get a napkin.
20:34 ## [Orchestra]
20:37 It's dead.
20:40 No way.
20:43 We gotta get help. I'll stay with him.
20:47 No, you stay in the other car.
20:51 ## [Orchestra]
20:54 ## [Orchestra]
20:57 ## [Orchestra]
21:00 ## [Orchestra]
21:03 No. No.
21:06 What's going on? It's Dr. Vink. He's trying to scare us.
21:10 He's doing a good job.
21:13 You know it's your doctor.
21:16 ## [Orchestra]
21:19 ## [Orchestra]
21:22 ## [Orchestra]
21:25 ## [Orchestra]
21:28 ## [Orchestra]
21:31 Was that a vampire?
21:34 Oh, yes. Maybe. I don't know.
21:37 Maybe I did see it come out of the movie.
21:40 Movies aren't real. I look pretty real to me.
21:44 ## [Orchestra]
21:47 ## [Orchestra]
21:50 Come on!
21:53 ## [Orchestra]
21:56 ## [Orchestra]
21:59 ## [Orchestra]
22:02 ## [Orchestra]
22:05 ## [Orchestra]
22:08 What are we gonna do?
22:11 Maybe I'm crazy, but I think I saw that vampire come out of the film.
22:15 How? I don't know.
22:18 There's something weird about that movie, and Dr. Vink's using it to get revenge.
22:22 This can't be real.
22:25 I got an idea. Thread up the last reel and project it.
22:29 Why? What are you gonna do?
22:32 Probably something stupid, but I gotta try.
22:35 Yonah's ready.
22:38 ## [Orchestra]
22:41 ## [Orchestra]
22:44 Who are you?
22:47 How did you get here?
22:50 Ready!

24:12 (suspenseful music)
24:16 (siren blaring)
24:19 (suspenseful music)
24:21 - Sorry, pal.
24:22 Had to finish what you started.
24:24 (suspenseful music)
24:27 (gun firing)
24:33 (suspenseful music)
24:36 - Pete, I'm gonna start the film!
24:40 - No, I'll be trapped in here!
24:42 (suspenseful music)
24:45 - That's all this is.
24:47 I know how it ends.

25:29 (suspenseful music)
25:32 - What happened?
25:34 - Are you okay?
25:38 - Yeah, what a dream.
25:40 This movie's starting to get to me.
25:43 - You have no idea.
25:45 Bravo!
25:46 Bravo!
25:48 - Vink.
25:51 - Good show, lad.
25:53 I couldn't have written it better myself.
25:58 As for you, Kristoff.
26:02 - Look, Dr. Vink, I've been thinking.
26:06 A deal's a deal, forget what I said before.
26:09 You can have your one night a week.
26:12 - That won't be necessary.
26:14 You see, I've just purchased this theater.
26:19 - You what?
26:21 - Oh, yes.
26:22 Now I can show my films every night.
26:27 And believe me, I've got many, many more.
26:33 Many, many more that are far better than this one.
26:38 (laughing)
26:42 - The end.
26:47 - So who's going to fright night?
26:51 - Uh, it's getting late.
26:54 - Yeah, I'm kind of tired.
26:56 Yeah.
27:02 (water splashing)
27:04 - Here, you can have my ticket.
27:07 - I, uh, thought you weren't going to fright night.
27:12 - Are you kidding?
27:13 It's just a movie.
27:15 And I got two free passes.
27:17 - Let's go.
27:19 - Come on.
