ALT Panel 1: It is now night time, and Audrey and Val are in the corner of Val's room, watching something on her monitor, which is turned towards them on her table. Val is laying on her uncovered mattress and Audrey is sitting on a beanbag chair next to the bed. They both have bags of chips. Audrey says "I guess ... I just don't really GET this movie so far." Panel 2: Val leans over and looks at him, concerned, asking "what's not to get?" Audrey begins, speaking: "Well, like ..." Panel 3: "... You said it was a HORROR MOVIE but it's really more like a DOCUMENTARY. Aren't there usually monsters or ghosts or something?" continues Audrey, digging his hand into the bag for a chip. Panel 4: Smile smiles an uncharacteristically happy smile as tiny camera icons float behind her and she says "AH, this is called 'FOUND FOOTAGE HORROR'."
ALT Panel 5: "You mean?? You FOUND this footage???" Audrey asks, shocked. "Uh, no. I specifically did not find it," replies Val. "Who found it then???" Audrey asks. "It's -- okay, lemme just explain," begins Val. Panel 6: Val goes on a massive rant in a single panel about found footage horror, mentioning movies like Ghostwatch, The Blair Witch Project, Lake Mungo, The Medium, Creep, The Taking of Deborah Logan, and Paranormal Activity, as well as internet projects like Marble Hornets and The Mandela Catalogue. Unfortunately, the text of this rant alone practically hits Twitters alt text character limit, and so I can't include it here in its entirety. Panel 7: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he looks at Val and replies "Wow! You're so smart, Val!" Panel 8: Audrey and Val both look forward at the screen, and Audrey asks: "But, um ... is something SCARY gonna happen?"
ALT Panel 9: Val smiles mischievously, glancing over at Audrey, and replies "Not for a WHILE, usually. But you know that it WILL, so you're anxious the whole time. THAT'S the fun part." Panel 10: Val's monitor, illuminating a stack of sticky notes, a cup with two bags of tea in it, and a pile of clothes in front of Val's bed, plays a scene from the film Noroi, in which the camera crew is speaking with a man in a tin foil coat and hat, saying "I believe we met on the talkshow the other night." Panel 11: Audrey turns his whole body turns Val, smiles, and says "I guess I still don't really get it quite YET." Panel 12: Val looks over at him from the bed, also smiling, as he continues: "But YOU like it. And since you like it, I wanna like it too."
ALT Panel 13: Val looks away but smiles contently and blushes. Panel 14: It is now several hours later, and Val is excitedly pointing at the screen, saying "O-oh, LOOK! If you look really closely in the reflection on that doorknob, there's --" Panel 15: Val looks over at Audrey, still pointing at the monitor, and sees that he has long fallen asleep on the been bag chair, peacefully resting his head on his hands. Panel 16: Val smiles, amused at her own folly, and says to herself, "Ahhh, I forgot." "Normal people have normal bedtimes," she says quietly.
ALT Panel 1: Text reads "The Boy From Venus HALLOWEEN SPECIAL" as Audrey is dressed as Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers in 'hopping' position and Val is dressed as Jedah Dohma from Darkstalkers, brandishing her hands like knives. Audrey is smiling while Val is serious. Panel 2: Audrey and Val are walking through a park littered with beautiful fall leaves. Audrey is wearing a brown button-up sweatshirt atop a white top, an orange ascot, and a blue skirt. Val is wearing an orange beanie that looks like an acorn cap, a grey jacket, a white shirt with a yellow stripe, and dark brown sweatpants. "Hey Val, what are you going as for Halloween?" asks Audrey. Panel 3: "I ... don't really dress up for Halloween," replies Val, smiling but clearly finding the question silly. Panel 4: Audrey leans forward to look her in the face directly, revealing that he's also wearing an orange maple leaf hair clip. "Aw, why not??" he asks, "You would make a REALLY GOOD Jeff the Killer!"
ALT Panel 5: Val, still smiling, sweats a bit and looks worried, with an arrow labeling her "(not sure how to take that)". "What are YOU going as?" she asks. Panel 6: Audrey smiles radiantly and replies enthusiastically: "A CAT!" Panel 7: "Oh. Cool," Val replies, smiling indecipherably. Panel 8: As she turns her gaze away from Audrey it's revealed in a thought bubble that she's imagining him dressed as Felicia, the cat woman from Darkstalkers. Her eyes glisten.
ALT Panel 9: Later, Val is waiting on a sidewalk at night, illuminated by a streetlight, near a crosswalk. She is dressed as Jeff the Killer, complete with white facepaint, red facepaint mouth scars, fake blood on a light grey sweatshirt, fake bloody toy knife. Her hair is also down and mess, like Jeff the Killer's. Panel 10: "Val! Over here!" a voice calls from the side as she turns her head. Panel 11: Audrey is approaching, crossing the sidewalk and waving to her, dressed as a pale, cream color, heavily furred car, with some bits of his hair gelled together and dyed a matching color. "Aw, you dressed up after all!" he says, "I told you you'd look amazing!!" Panel 12: Val just stands there flabbergasted, mouth hanging open.
ALT Panel 13: Audrey points at his whisker-lined face with a gloved hand as says "I'm Old Deuteronomy from CATS." Panel 14: Val looks down at the ground with a blank expression and begins shaking as the world's color begins to fade around her. She speaks: "When ... when you said a CAT, you ... you meant like, from CATS ... the Broadway play? ..." Panel 15: Audrey leans in a puts his hands up, bend back at the wrists but fingers curled, in an expression of interest as his eyes sparkle. "There was even a BROADWAY PLAY based on it??" he begins, "I had no idea THAT MOVIE WAS THAT POPULAR!!" That last bit of text swims and chromatically aberrates, and if you were hearing it in audio it would probably be in slow motion. Val looks at him dead eyed. Panel 16: Val has fallen backwards on the sidewalk with a thousand yard stare, dropping her toy knife. Audrey stands over her going "VAL?? VAL????" and at the bottom it says "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" with two ghosts replacing the "A"s.
