Creepshow

They're coming to get you, Barbara.

Tie you up and feed you to those things.

It's 8 o'clock and it's still moving.

Hey, come on, Barb, church was this morning, huh?

Wow.

Rock and roll.

I'm in the movie.

It works.

There it is. The crate from the movie.

And this--this is the monster.

I can hear him.

Not yet, you're not ready.

You gotta wait 'til your scene. - I'll be damned.

I can hear it. It's so real. This is cra--

Can I be of any assistance?

You're Christopher Lee.

Oh my God, you're Christopher Lee.

You're Dracula.

Not just Dracula, you're Frankenstein, the Mummy,

you're Saruman.

But not in this. Not in this movie.

This movie, you are Professor Alexander Saxton.

And this--this is yours.

It is, but I demand an explanation.

Okay, well, this crate is yours.

And the monster's inside it.

And he just killed this dude.

I just saw it happen.

See? Dead.

Sorry.

Inspector Mirov.

What is in there, Excellency?

Fossils.

Mm, yeah, fossils. Yeah, you wish, pal.

I mean, yes. Yes, it's a mystery.

What is a fossil?

A stone.

There wouldn't be something valuable in there, like gold?

Oh, it's valuable.

It's not gold, trust me.

You're in for a surprise.

Inspector Mirov, I love this.

I wanna bring this back.

You look like a hipster in Brooklyn.

Gold? It's...

-a laboratory specimen.

No value to it.

- Captain? - Yes, sir.

You get your men to put the crate on the train.

It's--it's Christopher Lee.

Oh God. I did it.

It works.

Lift it up.

Off you go.

You look the same.

No offense, I actually never noticed you in the movie,

but I remember you.

You look the same.

Follow me.

Oh my God.

It works.

It works.

I'm gonna be rich.

I'm gonna be rich.

Oh! Oh my God.

Renee! Renee!

I'm out here, honey.

It works!

I did it, it works!

The Immersopod, my invention.

- It works? - It works.

- Show me. - Okay, come on.

Come on. Come on.

- Oh, you're pulling. - Come on.

Honey, I'm wearing heels, stop. By the pool.

Okay, okay, okay. Come on, come on.

You gotta close your eyes.

No, no, uh, okay, okay. Close 'em, close 'em.

- Honey. - Okay, okay.

I give you the Immersopod.

The world's first VR immersion home theater system.

VR, virtual reality.

Right, yes, okay.

I read a book by a man named William Gibson.

I know, just listen.

Okay, so check it out.

So, hundreds of miniature cameras scan the user's body and

feed the information through a series of hard drives,

which can then be merged with any preexisting data.

It's brilliant, honey.

- No. - No?

No, that's not the brilliant part.

You know what? Try it, just get in. Get in.

No, no, no, it looks cramped.

I mean, can you even move around in there?

No, you can't. You can only really move your thumb,

but that's all you need. You turn it on, you turn it off.

No, I don't think so, honey. I get so claustrophobic.

But--but--see, you'll think you're moving.

It's like when you dream.

If you dream you're running, you don't really run anywhere,

but you believe that you're running.

The pod works the same way.

The scans are fed through a neural transmitter.

You imagine the move, and in the VR, you move.

That's the brilliant part.

- Wonderful, right. - Yeah,

but instead of moving in a dream,

you're moving inside of a movie.

Right, whatever your favorite movie is.

"The Godfather," "Jaws."

If it's in the hard drive, you can be in it.

Which movie are you in?

"Horror Express," of course.

- I should have known. - Yeah.

It was the first movie that my dad took me to that wasn't,

you know, like a kids' movie.

Uh, it just blew me away.

It's got everything.

Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, a monster.

I fell head over heels in love with...

the whole movie. Everything.

See, what this really is is an escape pod from life.

All those people out there, just waking up,

desperate for a way out.

They hate their jobs, their home life is a prison.

All those poor slobs drinking beer in front of the TV,

desperate, trapped in a dead end...

Dead end what?

Huh?

You just said, "Trapped in a dead end."

What?

It's a situation, anything.

But see now, they won't just watch TV,

now they can actually crawl inside it and escape!

You have to try it.

I don't--I don't want to.

I don't want to.

How could you not want to?

Maybe I'm not desperate for a way out, Simon.

Maybe I don't feel trapped in a situation.

Or am I?

What?

What was that?

What was what?

Um, did--did I do something to upset you?

Did you even hear the words coming out of your mouth?

Is that why you invented that thing?

To escape your terrible life?

Am I really that awful?

No.

You're reading into this.

No, no.

Are you sure?

Simon, we've been married for barely a year.

And you have spent every moment working on that thing.

We don't go anywhere, we don't do anything.

We live in the same house, and I never see you.

But it's for--it's for you.

I mean, it's for us.

That thing is--Renee, how--how could you think that--

Look at me.

Hey, look at me, come on.

When I asked your father for permission to marry you,

remember what he said?

He said no.

That's right, yeah, I know, he said no.

But I didn't let that stop me, did I?

I went to work on him.

And he still said no.

Yeah.

And he hasn't forgiven me for that, and he won't ever.

I know him.

I--

He said that you didn't have any money,

so you were marrying me for mine.

He said that I would never really know if you love me and

that somewhere in the back of my mind, I would always wonder.

And I get it, I'm not that pretty, I'm not that exciting,

but I am rich. - Stop.

He said, "Renee, he's going to take your money and make you

look like a fool."

Do not make me look like a fool.

Listen to me.

I said it on our wedding day, and I will say it again now.

And I mean every word.

For richer or poorer, to love and to cherish

'til death do us part.

Do you mean it, honestly?

'Til death do us part?

Honey, 'til death do us part.

I mean it.

Baggage man?

Alucca, what's the matter with you?

Yes, Countess?

You have a safe for valuables?

Yes, Countess.

I shall make out a receipt.

Countess.

I can't believe I'm finally meeting you.
