Summary: A cursed VCR that makes horror and science fiction films all too real causes no end of trouble for our heroes.
Somewhere in Sunnydale…
Mark Lavon sat on his couch looking through some of his beloved horror films, wishing his friend James would hurry up and bring the VCR.
I can't believe mine broke. Mark thought sadly, but that's what happens when you overuse it.
A knock on his door caught his attention, and he arose to answer it after setting his tapes down on his coffee table. Opening it, he saw James standing there, VCR in hand.
"You got it!" Mark said enthusiastically.
"Of course I did! I actually fished this thing out of the dumpster. Can you believe it?! Who would throw away a perfectly good video cassette recorder?!" James said.
"Does it still work?!" Mark wondered.
"Of course it does! I tested it! What kind of question is that?! Anyway, let's get watching!" James answered.
Obtaining snacks and drinks from Mark's kitchen, they readied the VCR and plugged it in, put in the first movie, and settled down to watch.
Neither young man noticed the sinister light that shone deep within the machine.
Later…
James walked into Mark's kitchen, opened the fridge, obtained the food he wanted, and made himself a late-night snack.
He didn't see the masked figure stealthily approach him.
But he certainly felt the knife that the intruder stabbed him in the back of the head with.
Mark sat up suddenly.
What had awakened him?
Looking to his left, he froze in shock.
There was a huge shadow looming over him!
The moonlight shone on the object the giant held in his hand.
And he used that object to chop Mark's head off.
The machete dripped with Mark's fresh blood.
Time to find more victims.
After all, he wanted Mother to be proud of him.
