PART 1 - A MYSTERIOUS INVITATION.

It was a nice summer afternoon in NYC.

Casey McCall and Dan Rydell were walking around, in short-sleeved shirts, summer trousers, grey for Casey, black for Dan, and brown loafers, and were talking quite animately about something.

"You're not joking, are you?"

"No, Case, it's true."

"Puh-lease, it can't happen."

"But it did!"

Suddenly a strange-looking man interrupted them.

"Tickets, free tickets!"

"For what?" Danny asked curiously.

"A movie. They're inaugurating a new theatre and that means... free tickets! Want one?"

"Two, please."

Casey was a little suspicious of the offer, but chose wisely - or so he thought - to say nothing.

They then went to the theatre, where they met a colleague.

"Marcus, hi! Enjoying your vacations, huh?" Casey said.

"More or less..." Marcus then drawled off.

"What happened?" Danny said, picking off a bad vibe.

"I have been dumped two minutes ago by my girlfriend for some stud inside the theatre." Was his answer.

"Ouch." The other two men said sympathetically.

"So, can I tag along with you? It's boring to see a movie alone."

"Yeah!" the two men answered as one. "We're friends, after all."

And in they went.

"Hey, look!" Casey said as he noticed the movie posters hanging in the hall. "'Dawn Of The Dead'..."

"'Night Of The Living Dead'..." continued Danny.

"'Deep Red', 'Suspiria', 'Halloween'..." Marcus went on.

"'Blood And Black Lace'... It's a feast for horror movies lovers." Casey smirked.

"What's the movie, again?" he asked Danny.

"Ummm... 'Mask Of Nostradamus'. A group of teens find a mask that turns them into monsters and everyone who gets bitten by the monsters becomes one." Was the answer.

"Hey, a horror movie. Better get the seats near the hot chicks!" said a teasing - female - voice behind them.

"Natalie?" all three men turned to see her.

"Hey," she quipped, "can't a girl like scary movies?"

"'Do you like scary movies, Natalie?'" Marcus teased her, speaking in a fake 'stalker' voice.

"'You know I don't like that shit.'" Natalie continued.

"'Why not, too scary?'" Marcus teased again.

Natalie was going to give the exact reply from 'Scream', but was stopped by Dan's hand on her mouth, and his voice, that said "The theatre is at the end of the corridor, not here."

They went inside, picked four seats near the Emergency Exit and sat, Casey on the nearest seat, then Marcus, Dan and finally, Natalie.

The lights in the theatre shut off and the movie began. It was nice, and the foursome kept watching, unaware that a young girl, trying a demon mask off to scare her girlfriends, had cut her left cheek, and while in the bathroom to clean the wound, turned into a veritable monster.

They noticed it, however, when her first victim, one of her girlfriends, crashed the screen.
