Ian- "Oh was that by the Shining guy? I heard that movie was sick, really evil stuff in it." Izzy seemed like she was trying to avoid addressing that topic again but it was hard to say because she was really avoiding Sully's look. Michael- "Oh yeah yeah, Kubrick. I heard that movie had psycho performances, like the actors went insane when they were shooting it.. and like, there's this part where they kill a little girl. It's real." Ivy- "They can't do that! You're daft." Michael- "Hahaha 'daft?' We should go see Hellraiser this weekend, it's still playing in Underwood. You should all see that for sure." Lucy- "That looks so scary! Doesn't it have like, ripped off skin people in it?" Michael- "Yeah."

"Ohhh, have I got a story for you, Baby ..." Rudi crept closer to Lisa. "And it's real. Didja know that there's a hole in the ozone layer? One that's getting bigger every day? Now, all the sunshine radiation's slipping through. Faster and faster. More and more. Remember Chernobyl? Ever hear about the A-bombs in Japan? The whole world's about to roast alive. By the next millennium, every mammal that steps into the sun will go blind, lose its hair, and die. All our babies will have three heads. Oh, and here's the best part. Want to know why the world will end?" She lowered her voice and hissed, "Hairspray. Big hair. Bonnie Tyler." Lisa- "Nuh uh! That can't be real! I mean, I know about the ozone hole, but that's stupid! Poor Bonnie..."
Leah- "Haha. I mean real scary stories. I mean, obviously that's true, but I mean like... stuff that'll chill you to your bones!"
Mona tried to say something but had a sneezing fit.

"Horror movies have no decent acting parts; it's not that I'm freaked out about them, its just becoming more about latex makeup than really good stories." Michael- "What! No, horror movies allow people to look at themes that would never be shown in another context. Stuff to do with life, and death, primal fear... That stuff's real, we all deal with that. It's important, it's like a psycho drama... with squishy bits."
Josh- "Yeah, there's some very clever writing in that genre, I mean... My current favorite movie right now, thing that I saw most recently that blew me away: the Lost Boys."
Michael- "Oh no."
Heather- "The guy in that is so hot!"
Lucy- "I thought it was pretty scary."
Michael- "That's not even a horror movie. That has nothing to do with what I was talking about..."
Andrew shuffled his feet, looking around the room. "What about you, Heather. Did you see any good movies lately?" Heather- "Take a guess..." (She rolled her eyes at Lucy, who smiled wickedly.)
Michael- "But seriously. You guys gotta watch Cronenberg. Remember the Fly? That guy did a whole bunch of other movies that are really part of the tradition of surrealist film making like... real artistic stuff."
Ivy- "Did he do the explody head movie you showed me? That one is sooo gross!"
Michael- "Okay, but if you think about the head explosion as being a symbol for... Nah, I just thought the head explosion was cool."
Josh- "I wanted to hear where you were going with that. Penny!"
Josh scurried away to meet up with his girlfriend. Heather looked at Andrew, to see if he was still curious about her favorite movie.
Lucy- "Heather likes D--"
Heather clamped a hand over Lucy's mouth, while she giggled.
Heather- "Outside of this table, what is the favorite movie of every girl in the school?"

"Heh, yeah, they're a buncha dumbasses when it comes to shit like that. With the studs, eh. You could probably pull it off, you don't gotta actually sew nothin'. You just gotta stick 'em into a jacket or something, and push the edges down. Hm, maybe I can show you sometime. Use the look to score you a girl." Albert- "Oh hell yeah dude. I tried to glue an Exploited patch onto a vest, but it just peeled off. You show me that shit, I'll score you whatever."
Leon broke into a rare (and rather brief) grin. Hey, maybe if he shared how to do it, he could score some pot from Albert. Really, he could look pretty charming when he dropped the sullen act. He was also totally oblivious to the lovey-dovey glances Julie was giving him from over where she was with the other library girls. "Hey, so what are you gonna do for Halloween? Gonna get trashed?" Albert- "Haha, gonna go smash some pumpkins maybe, go trick or treating at the rich people's neighborhood if I remember too. You?"
Jesse Bagger walked by with a stack of some kind of nugget product.
Albert- "Hey man! Gimmie a nugget..."
Jesse- "Man, lazy asshole!"
He threw a nugget that hit Albert straight in the eye socket and bounced out. Albert caught it, and ate it.
Albert- "Wait wait wait-- how's it going?"
Jesse- "How do you THINK it's going? I had to get bunch of stupid pictures for my bitch Grandma. Stand in line with the jerks. What a shitty day."
Albert- "I know, it's terrible. But you got nuggets."
Jesse- "DUH. I always have nuggets."
Leon was distracted by nugget crumbs in Albert's eyelashes.

Rudi crossed her arms. She couldn't sleep right for days after learning about the ozone hole. At least it didn't frighten her as much as deforestation. "Fiiine, fine. But I never understand why people get scared of made-up stuff like ghosts and demons. Here's something to chill your bones: people. Let's say that only ten percent of all the people in the world are bad. That’s still ..." She tried to do the calculation in her head. It took a little while. "That's still five hundred million evildoers. Look around you! There's probably one or two secret psychopaths in this cafeteria. I'd rather take my chances with the werewolves and vampires, thanks. Ha, and even if they did exist, at least you expect monsters to hurt you ... but you know what? If one of you ladies can scare me with your ghost stories, I'll buy you an ice cream float." She suddenly grinned. "OH! We should see An American Werewolf in London during the party. I love that movie!" Rudi had, in fact, watched it a half dozen times since its release.

Leah- "Oh yeah, the guy in that movie is pretty hot." Julie- "I think that might be a bit much for us kids..." Megan- "What's it rated?" Leah- "Yeahhhh you probably wouldn't be allowed to see it." Megan- "Do you really think there are secret evil-doers in our school? That's creepy..." Leah- "Oh don't be so naive! Everybody's got dark secrets, it just some are darker than others. Some people aren't even secret about it. Did you see the skinhead guy? You know what they have to do to join that gang...?" She mimed a cutting motion across her throat.Megan- "Oh my god, really?!" Julie- "Nobody murdered anybody. Don't be silly."

"Pshhh! Don't make me guess, you know I'm no good at guessing. And the fly was cool, but it was WAAAY cooler with Vincent Price, I'm telling you. That man is, like, creepy. He's as bad as seeing the lunch lady outside of school, y'know?" Michael- "Those old movies can't do justice to the concept of bodily horror like the newer kind can, I'm sorry. Also, I find it a bit hard to be scared of Vincent Price. He's cool, but campy."
Andrew touched the sides of his hair, his eyes twitching as he tried to make sure it was all in place still. "Okay, is it Dirty Dancing? It is just about, uhm, normal dancing. And better dancing. Who even believes that Patrick Swayze even did all the dancing. And that girl wasn't all that cute." Before he was even finished, he received a chorus of...
"I HAAAAD the TIME OF MY LIIIIFE..." He glanced over his shoulder, trying to see if anyone else was around before adding, quietly, "I think I'd rather see someone's head explode any day. Mike, I think you're rubbing off on me." Michael- "Yes! I win."

"Right on. I'm not real sure, myself. Don't got any real plans, but I might hafta take my little bro out trick-or-treating. He gets all scared." Nope, Leon was totally too cool for trick-or-treating, totally wouldn't do it if he didn't have to go with his brother. Totally. He shook his head when Jesse came up, smirking a little. "Might lose an eye, beggin' food from the wrong person. Hey Jesse. You an' Jessica doin' anything for Halloween?" Jesse- "How would I know what Jessica's doing? God! She's got no tongue, duh!"
Albert- "Maybe she has a tongue but she's really quiet?"
Jesse- "Shut up! I'm gonna go trash little kids on Halloween and get a bunch of candy. Fuckin' brats!"
Albert- "Go ye merrily, brave sir."
While Jesse answered, Leon glanced a bit distractedly at Albert. He wondered if Jesse really could put out someone's eye with a nugget - it was a bit worrying to think about. Hell, if anyone could, it'd be him - he was big enough, could get violent enough... "Uh, hey Albert? You still got some nugget on your eye there, man." Albert- "What? No. It's pinkeye. That woulda been better with barbecue sauce."
Jesse- "I'm done with you assholes! Later."

Mona wiped her nose on her handkerchief. "Have you all seen The Princess Bride yet? That was my favorite movie in a long time. Mandy Patinkin is soooo cute. I guess I'm not really into the horror movies." Megan and Lisa- "The Princess Bride? Awww!"
Leah- "Kids."

Mi- "Oh!" Noticing the commotion as she walks by the cafeteria, Michael Hassan remembers to pick up her school portraits. As Mi passes the group of girls that regularly meet in the library, she makes a friendly reminder. Mi- "By the way, Mona. You have a book overdue. The Hero and the Crown needed to be returned yesterday." Mona- "Ugh!" After a wait in line with louder, wearying students, Mi's interaction with kind Mrs. Stephenson was contrastingly very pleasant.Mrs. Stephenson- "Hello, Mi." Mi- "Hello, Mrs. Stephenson." Mrs. Stephenson- "You were right about the squash, by the way. I've been offering them to neighbors." Mi- "Ha ha! We all do that." The student next in line disguises the phrase "suck up" as a cough, to the amusement of his friends. Happily, neither the teacher nor Mi hear him, and Mi leaves for the library. Ian- "If you think skin tearing is scary, better get out of his way." Zazz, the misfit among misfits, creeps through the cafeteria. He ditched school on photo day and had nothing to collect. However, he wanted Warheads from The Candy People and maybe a pudding cup. James- "I'm pretty sure it isn't true he did that." Ivy- "I heard the story ran in a newspaper somewhere." Zazz- "Grrmblfr." This utterance escaped Zazz's lips as he reached the table that The Candy People always sat. It was uncertain whether this was a greeting or something else. Jesse- "Hey, Zazz. You happy nobody wants your pictures?" Richie- "Dude. We don't provoke him." Zazz- "I don't want to look into mirrors or see pictures of myself if I can help it." If he had to wait much longer, Zazz was going to go straight to getting his pudding cup.

This was getting to be a bit much with Izzy avoiding looking at him, the embarrassment was engulfing. Would this day get any worse? Would she ever look at him again? He didn't want to think about a world like that. It almost brought tears to his eyes. "...YES I SWEAR, IT"S THE TROooOTH, and I OWE IT ALL TO YOU-" "You know what guys? I just remembered that I have to ask Penny, about borrowing one of the marching band's drumsticks for the jazz band. Catch you all later." He rambled. He hurried off in the direction of Josh and Penny, taking one quick last pained look in Izzy's direction. Why oh why had he spoken that thought out aloud? Hopefully she would soon forget he'd said anything and everything would go back to normal. He found Josh and Penny sitting at table together chatting away.
Penny- (overhearing the serenade) "Oh, I love that movie!"
Joshua- "You're adorable."
"Hey Penny, How'd your photo go? Got a Halloween costume that'll blow us away?" Penny- "You bet! I'm going to be so hot."
Penny's costumes were always pretty awful, but she was his best friend's girl and pretty darn nice, if not slightly annoying at times. "I'm thinking I'll go as like one of the ghost busters or Wyatt Earp."
Penny- "Oh I love the Ghostbusters! You should be the Dan Aykroyd character!"
Joshua- "I don't think I'm gonna wear a costume. Seems too young for me."
Penny- "Oh you're going to wear a costume! :-)"

Gabriel didn't have anything he was comfortable admitting out loud about Dirty Dancing. The conversation had kind of bowled over him, but he was fond of scary movies, and he was getting too close to that length of silence that delved into creepy onlooker territory. "... eh-isn't the best acting in, uh, horror movies the understated pieces? Uh-hum, have you seen Cronenberg's 'The Brood'?" He ran a hand through his hair absently, trying to remember his favorite line. " 'Thirty seconds after you're born you have a past... and sixty seconds after that you begin to lie to yourself about it.' Good horror movies are l-like, honest." He took a moment to consider, then added: "If you want to be g-genuine as an actor." Michael- "YES! That's exactly what I meant to say. Cronenberg." (Momentary moony eyes at Gabriel)

Andre blinked, his eyes widening at Gabriel's added phrasing. "Do you really think so? I could totally star in one if I had to. But I want to die first or live through the movie... None of this dying half way through. It's be too much like a game show. Wow Gabriel! You're so smart. I should try and audition for every role and not be so picky. But I'm sure when I get an agent it won't be so bad." He smiled.

Gabriel didn't know if Andrew's overwhelming confidence was unnerving or just amazing. He'd never felt that confident about his future in his life, and he has actually performed on a main stage. He rubbed his neck, a bit anxious. "Oh, uh, yeah. I'm sure. You're g-gonna do great, Andrew." He smiled, shrugging his shoulders in a manner he hoped was somehow both kind and encouraging. "So, ehr, uh- are you going to dress up?"

Andrew shrugged absently with an small pursing of his lips. "It depends. If Lucy is going to I will. But I'm not sure if we have to for the dance or not. And since we are setting it up I think they may make us actually wear costumes. Which is lame. I mean everybody is going to do a zombie or vampire or just wear some punk hockey mask. If I have to I'm going as an evil scientist! I mean, that sounds cool right?" Lucy- "It does sound fun, Andrew." He chuckled to himself shrinking a little. "When was the last time you guys dressed up for Halloween? What did you wear?" Michael- "Every day is Halloween." Ivy- "So true! Halloween is the day when everyone else pretends to be as cool and me and Michael." Heather- "Jen had me convinced I was too old for that last year, so uh, the year before that. But I have cooler friends now, so maybe I'll do it this year! ... Oh, and the last time I was a genie." Ian- "Yeah, everyone at my old school thought that was kid stuff, so me too. I dunno, might let myself get talked into it this year... You make me feel like a dummy, because last time I dressed up I had a stupid hockey mask. Haha." Lucy- "Yeah I didn't last year because Jen just had a lame no costume party at her place. The year before I was Red Riding Hood." Heather- "That was a really cute costume! I liked the dress." Lucy- "I think this year I want to be something scary maybe. Or maybe just a cat, haha.."
