## Official Episode Description

Your two favorite disaffected but lovable Goths sink their Hot Topic fangs into more ‘90s horror this week, with a bone-chilling look at the famously “cursed” straight-to-TV vampire movie “Little Vampires.” Filmed on location in Stoneybrook, CT, where a number of near-fatal accidents disrupted the set (until the would-be-murderer was captured by a pair of meddling baby-sitters) “Little Vampires” stars heartthrob Carson Fraser (more famous for his role in “Miami Beach, USA”) and P.S. 162’s Derek Masters. The unsolved mystery here is why the Director chose to film this one in Stoneybrook, of all places, but it’s fair to say that the sleepy Connecticut town was … not prepared.

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

A very good burn
That stings you so right
A knife that doth turn.
It gets in your head
But oh so soon:
It will cause me to call
The burn unit.
—inspired by "The Sick Rose" by William Blake

Tanner: a burn on the entire PR industry, for sending this bad rep.

Jack: burn on Cokie Mason (nested burn on Tanner, whom Jack compares to his toddler)

###  Guessing the Mystery

Jack: Carson is sabotaging the set because he's jealous of Derek.
