[Intro - immediate dirty electric guitar riff, heavy drums] [Female Vocals - rhythmic rap] Midnight screening, theater six, cheap old slasher from eighty-six, six people scattered across the rows, sticky floor and nobody knows why the picture shakes, why the soundtrack skips, why the killer stops right at the edge of the screen. [Female Vocals - tense] Then he walks out of frame. Camera stays. Empty set. Movie keeps rolling. [Male Vocals - rhythmic rap] Thirty seconds. Nothing there. Empty hallway filmed from an empty chair. Guy behind us laughs, "Pretty cool trick." Then the exit door opens. And in walks him. Same black coat. Same ugly mask. Same fucking weapon from the movie we watched. [Male Vocals - dry] Oh, for fuck's sake. [Heavy guitar transition] [Female Vocals - powerful chorus] MIDNIGHT SHOW! HOUSE LIGHTS DOWN! SOMETHING LEFT THE SCREEN AND NOW IT'S WALKING AROUND! MIDNIGHT SHOW! LET HIM COME! [Male Vocals - screamed] WE'VE SEEN THIS FUCKING MOVIE! [Male Vocals - screamed] WE KNOW HOW THIS SHIT GETS DONE! [Instrumental - driving rapcore riff] [Male Vocals - rapid rap] First row screams! Everybody runs! Killer takes his time like the scary part's begun! Not us. Nope. We know the routine. Never split up. Never investigate a scream. [Male Vocals - extended shout-rap] DON'T TAKE THE STAIRS! DON'T CHECK BACKSTAGE! DON'T HIDE ALONE IN A FUCKING DARK PLACE! KEEP HIM IN SIGHT! GRAB SOMETHING HARD! AND SOMEBODY PLEASE PULL THE FUCKING FIRE ALARM! [Female Vocals - aggressive rap] Alarm starts screaming. Lights come on. Killer stops dead like something went wrong. Guess he's better in the dark. Good. Emergency lights. Clear sight. Bad night to pick a fucking genre fight. [Female Vocals - rapid shout-rap] HE COMES DOWN LEFT! WE GO RIGHT! CUT THROUGH ROW SEVEN! KEEP HIM IN SIGHT! HE CLIMBS THE SEATS! I GRAB THE SIGN! [Female Vocals - shouted] WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, ASSHOLE— YOU CAN BLEED IN MINE! [Heavy breakdown] [Female Vocals - powerful chorus] MIDNIGHT SHOW! HOUSE LIGHTS UP! YOUR BIG SCARY ENTRANCE JUST RAN OUT OF LUCK! MIDNIGHT SHOW! COME GET SOME! [Male Vocals - screamed] YOU LEFT YOUR FUCKING MOVIE! [Male Vocals - screamed] NOW YOU DON'T GET TO RUN! [Male Vocals - extended rapid shout-rap] LOBBY DOORS OPEN! KILLER COMES THROUGH! POPCORN MACHINE'S THE FIRST THING WE USE! THROW THE BUCKET! BLOCK HIS VIEW! KICK THE STANCHION! SEND HIM THROUGH! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] POSTER FRAME! STRAIGHT TO THE MASK! HE HITS THE CARPET BUT HE GETS UP FAST! OF COURSE HE DOES! THEY ALWAYS DO! [Male Vocals - shouted] FINE! LET'S MAKE A FUCKING SEQUEL! [Instrumental - heavy guitar riff] [Female Vocals - furious shout-rap] BACK TO THE SCREEN! DRIVE HIM IN! MOVIE STILL RUNNING WITH NOBODY IN IT! EMPTY SET! OPEN DOOR! SAME FUCKING PLACE THAT HE WALKED OUT BEFORE! [Female Vocals - rapid shout-rap] HE SEES THE SCREEN! STOPS MID-STRIDE! FOR THE FIRST FUCKING TIME THE BASTARD LOOKS FRIGHTENED! LIGHT STARTS BENDING! PICTURE TURNS WHITE! [Female Vocals - screamed] OH, YOU WANNA GO HOME? THEN HAVE A GOOD FUCKING NIGHT! [Breakdown - crushing half-time riff] [Male Vocals - aggressive shout-rap] SHOVE HIM BACK! SCREEN GOES BLACK! SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE STARTS PULLING HIM BACK! MASK COMES OFF— DON'T SEE A FACE! JUST STATIC AND FILM WHERE HIS HEAD SHOULD'VE BEEN! [Male Vocals - shouted] NOPE! [Female Vocals - shouted] KEEP PUSHING! [Male Vocals - screamed] GLADLY! [Instrumental slam] [Female Vocals - powerful final chorus] MIDNIGHT SHOW! ROLL THE CREDITS! SEND THAT BASTARD BACK AND LET THE MOVIE FUCKING HAVE HIM! MIDNIGHT SHOW! HOUSE LIGHTS ON! [Male Vocals - screamed] YOU PICKED THE WRONG FUCKING AUDIENCE! [Male Vocals - screamed] NOW GET BACK WHERE YOU BELONG! [Outro - heavy guitar riff] [Cinema Screen] THE END [Pause] [Cinema Screen] COMING SOON [Male Vocals - distant scream] OH, FUCK OFF! [Final guitar hit]
