Both: Oh. Sorry.
My fault.
Excuse me. I'm gonna go get some more wood.
Did you tell her?
Oh, yeah. I said...
I said, "Sam, we've known each other for a long time now,
"and you know how I feel about you,
so maybe we should decide if we should go out for real."
Yeah, and?
She said she liked me,
but didn't want to get into a relationship,
because she had a lot going on, and...
Who cares why.
She doesn't want anything to do with me.
I should never...
We're here. Let the games begin.
Who's up tonight?
I am.
I've been saving this story for a long time,
and I think tonight's the best night to tell it.
It's a story about illusion and deception.
Some things may look familiar,
but they could be hiding a secret
that you'd never expect.
It could be beautiful or mysterious,
or like in my story, something evil.
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,
I call this story...
[Siren]
P.A.: Your attention, please.
Visiting hours are now over.
All visitors are asked to leave the hospital
by the main entrance.
Felix?
Is this your signature, zebo?
Uh, yeah.
You signed for a water pump.
Did I say you could sign for shipments?
No, but...
But you did-- now it's gone.
But the thing is huge.
Find it, Zebo, or find yourself another job.
Oh, hi, Amanda. Bye, Amanda.
Hi, Felix. Well, hold it.
Me too, me too.
Oh, I'm late again.
I just can't get used to this night shift.
I mean, how do you do it?
Oh, I've got school till 3:00,
then practice, homework and dinner.
If I want to volunteer, it's the night shift.
When do you sleep?
I'm not sure.
Let me check my schedule.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Number 3 won't take his meds,
his roomie's got a fever,
number 7's in pre-op, and number 5--
wants her mommy.
I thought the night shift was supposed to be quiet.
Amanda?
We've got a new volunteer.
I want you to show her around.
Margot, Amanda-- Amanda, Margot.
Now you're old chums. Don't annoy me.
Hi.
You picked the night shift too?
Yeah. School kind of takes up a lot of the day.
Tell me about it.
Amanda?
I'll be right back.
How do you lose an entire water pump?
This is from the crate it came in.
But how did it get--
Hi, Felix.
Come here. I want to show you something.
You know, I don't think we're supposed...
Hey. Guy in number 59 says he's a friend of yours.
Who is he?
Go see. He's cute.
Hello?
Amanda?
Is that you?
Colin?
What's wrong?
Tomorrow... getting tonsils out.
I'm so sorry, I...
What?
And you can take care of me.
You want some candy corn?
Jerk.
Come on. It was a goof.
No, you're a goof, and I'm busy.
You're always busy. I need comfort.
I don't think so.
You got to be nice to me.
I might not make it through surgery.
Yeah, I wish.
Hello.
What room are you in, sweetheart?
Hey, you're not supposed to...
Are we playing hide and seek?
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna scare you...
All I want is one date--
a movie, pizza, anything.
If you hate me after that, I'll leave you alone forever.
Colin, I told you before.
I think you're a nice guy,
but I am too busy.
Too busy for what, to have fun?
Incoming!
Sorry. He got away from me.
This place is so boring. Let's go to the morgue.
I've got him.
Come on, speedy.
You're a patient. Pretend you're sick
before we all get in trouble.
OK,
but I'm not giving up till you give in.
[Gasps]
Oh, man, you scared me.
That guy's in my class.
He's been bugging me for months about...
Laurette?
Sorry. It's only me.
Stop bugging me.
Go to bed.
My roommate's gone.
What do you mean, gone?
Who's your roommate?
Bud, the kid with the broken leg.
He took off about an hour ago, and didn't come back.
I'll tell Nurse Hantin.
I don't want to get him in trouble.
Can't we go find him?
Oh, come on. He's just having fun,
but I guess you wouldn't know about stuff like that.
All right. If I get in trouble,
I'll cut out your tonsils myself.
Bud?
Hey, this is like the first time
we're doing something together.
Yeah. My life is complete.
[Creaking]
Look out!
[Giggling]
So, alone at last.
How can you eat those things?
It's not even Halloween.
I'm a rebel.
No, you're a geek who's gonna get me in trouble...
What is this?
What are they?
Blood storage bags.
Yuck. Looks like a rat got them.
Why do they keep them in here?
They don't. Something's gone wrong.
Nurse Hantin?
I found this in the closet, empty.
There's a ton of them in there.
Really? How strange.
They're shredded, like a dog got them.
I think we better call security.
You're right, Amanda. I'll do that.
Hey.
[Gasps]
Sorry. Why are you so jumpy?
I don't know.
Something weird is going on.
Did Bud come back?
No. But I know where he might be.
It's the one place he wanted to see.
Well, he's not here. Let's go.
Wait. Is that a body?
No, it's a pinball machine. Come on.
I've never seen a dead body before.
Colin?
Colin, don't.
It's no big deal. It's just a dead body.
It's Felix.
Who?
Felix.
He works in maintenance.
Now anymore. He's, like, really dead.
I just saw him tonight, and he was fine.
Let's get out of here.
[Hissing]
Nurse Hantin?
Laurette?
It's dead.
Just like old Felix.
Colin.
Sorry. This whole place is starting to feel like a morgue.
Security should have been here by now.
I don't like this. Let's go downstairs.
Evening, Amanda.
Jack, what happened to Felix?
Felix?
Felix is just fine.
It depends on your definition of fine.
Why don't we go see him?
You go. Tell him we say hi.
What is with that guy?
I don't know. This is weird.
Let's just go down to the lobby...
[Door closes]
Hello, Amanda.
Felix... but you're, you're...
Dead?
[Chuckles]
Sort of.
How can you be sort of dead?
Oh, it's not so bad, really.
You'll soon find out for yourself.
Felix!
What are you doing, man? What is your problem?
[Chuckling]
My problem is I was the first.
The first what?
I drank too much, and it made me like this.
Felix, we'll get you a doctor.
There are no doctors.
There are no nurses, there are no patients. There's nobody left!
It's been feeding on everybody,
but only enough to control them,
not enough to cause a panic.
Once it gets everybody,
it's gonna come back.
It's gonna finish them off!
Who? What are you talking about?
Maybe it's not too late. It hasn't gotten you.
Maybe you can stop it!
Easy, pal.
Felix, you're scaring me.
Amanda?
Amanda, please come with me.
I'm getting weaker.
I don't know how much longer I can fight it.
Fight what?
I'm changing...
And if someone doesn't stop it...
It will do...
It shipped itself here, can you believe it?
The box said it was a water pump.
Funny thing is, I'm the one who signed for it.
Yeah, that's real funny.
You guys are not gonna believe this,
but you have to.
It's a vampire, Amanda,
and it's hunting in the hospital.
Get out of here.
You want me to prove it to you?
I'm fighting the change, but I can easily--
Stop!
The only thing it needs is that coffin.
If we can destroy it, then--
Amanda? Are you down there?
Margot, are you OK?
Sure. Felix is wrong, you know.
Of course a vampire needs its coffin,
but it also needs blood.
What?
People have it all wrong.
Vampires only need to feed about every 50 years or so,
and isn't a hospital a great place for it?
It's like a candy store.
Who are you?
I made a mistake with Felix.
He shouldn't have turned so soon.
It doesn't matter.
I'm almost done here, anyway.
We're gonna go upstairs.
I don't think so.
We haven't been properly introduced yet.
[Laughing]
I should finish what I started.
No! No!
[Felix screaming]
Sorry, kids. No one leaves.
Are we the only ones left?
Colin? I'm scared.
Yeah, me too.
This isn't exactly the first date I had in mind.
If we get the chance for a second.
The coffin.
The what?
If we destroy it, we destroy the vampire.
But it won't let anyone near it.
Except there's 2 of us.
If I lure the vampire away,
you can drag the coffin into the incinerator.
There's no way I can move that big thing.
But maybe you can.
I'll lure the vampire away; You can move the coffin.
Amanda, if it gets you, you're dead.
If we don't stop it, we're both dead.
Got any more candy corn?
Sugar. We're gonna lure this thing.
Hey, maybe you should come with us.
Tell your friend I'll be upstairs.
Tell me yourself.
That's not a good idea.
I got to see the morgue, for real.
I'm beginning to like the night shift.
You wanted to see me?
[Sirens]
[Hissing]
It'll be less painful if you give in.
[Laughter]
You wanted proof?
Here it comes.
There's no use in running.
I'm far too good a hunter.
[Laughing]
Felix, don't.
I don't like to work so hard for my kills.
It's gonna get Amanda, Felix.
Bite me, and Amanda's done.
[Groaning]
Hush.
[Laughing]
[Screaming] Please!
You're still in there, aren't you?
Help me save her.
Please!
No!
I should drop you, and then lick up what's left.
No!
No.
The old-fashioned way is best.
[Hissing]
[Screaming]
[Groaning]
[Screaming]
Incoming!
I really thought the night shift was supposed to be quiet.
Are you OK?
Nothing a little sleep wouldn't cure.
Amanda?
What happened to the new girl?
Did I scare her off already?
Yeah, something like that.
Amanda?
Are you OK? What happened?
It's over. Everybody's back to normal.
They don't even remember what happened.
There you are!
Finish mopping the lobby,
or I'll find somebody who knows how to work.
I remember.
Thanks.
So, what was that about a second date?
I'll have to check my schedule...
But I'm pretty sure I can squeeze you in.
Sam: The end.
Great. Cool.
Gary.
Could you wait a sec?
Um, yeah, I guess.
Both: Ooh.
Keep walking.
It's getting a little hot.
Come on.
Um, that story was about someone so busy being busy,
they miss a lot of possibilities.
Yeah?
Well, I was thinking
about what you said...
And maybe you and I have some possibilities.
Really? That's great.
Why don't I put out the fire--
No, not yet.
I want to watch it a little while longer.
