6 quotes Sam Emerson Sam Emerson Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of the night, Michael. Just like out of a comic book. You're a vampire, Michael. My own brother, a goddam shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'til Mom finds out!
Sam Emerson Don't kill me, Mike. I'm basically a good kid, so just don't kill me.
Sam Emerson It's that girl from the boardwalk. Is she one of them?... [Star floats up] She's one of them! And don't tell me it doesn't make her a bad person, Mike.
Sam Emerson Death by stereo!
Sam Emerson [to Star]
Don't kill anybody until we get back to you!

Lucy No, he's just a deep sleeper.
Sam If he's dead, can we go back to Phoenix?
Playin' dead. And from what I heard, doin' a damn good job of it, too.
Grandpa, is it true that Santa Carla's the murder capital of the world?
There are some bad elements around here.
Sam Wait a second, let me get this straight. You're telling me we've moved to the murder capital of the world? Are you serious, Grandpa?
Well, let me put it this way. If all the corpses buried around here were to stand up all at once we'd have one hell of a population problem.
Now, on Wednesdays when the mailman brings the TV Guide sometimes the address label is curled up just a little. You'll be tempted to tear it off. Don't. You'll only wind up rippin' the cover and I don't like that. And stay outta here.
Sam Wait, you have a TV?
No. I just like to read the TV Guide. Read the TV Guide, you don't need a TV.
Sam So where're we going?
Nowhere.
Sam So what's the rush? You're chasing that girl aren't you? Come on, admit it. You're at the mercy of your sex glands, bud.
Sam Got a problem, guys?
Just scoping your civilian wardrobe.
Sam Pretty cool, huh?
For a fashion victim.
Where the hell are you from? Krypton?
Sam Phoenix, actually. But lucky me, we moved...here.
You think you really know what's happening here, don't you? Well, I'll tell you something. You don't know shit buddy. You think we just work in a comic bookstore for our folks, huh?
Sam Actually, I thought it was a bakery.
This is just our cover. We are dedicated to a higher purpose. We're fighters for Truth, Justice, and the American way.
Read this.
Sam I told you I don't like horror comics.
Think of it more as a survival manual. There's our number on the back and pray you never need to call us.
Sam I'll pray I never need to call you. Sure.
Anything in here that might pass for after-shave?
Sam How about some Windex, Grandpa?
Yeah, let me try some of that. [slaps some on] Not bad!
You did the right thing by calling us. Does your brother sleep a lot?
Sam Yeah, all day.
Does the sunlight freak him out?
Sam Uh, he wears sunglasses in the house.
Bad breath, long fingernails?
Sam Yeah, his fingernails are a little bit longer, um, he always had bad breath though.
He's a vampire all right.
All right, here's what you do, get your self a good sharp stake and drive it right through his heart.
Sam I can't do that, he's my brother.
Okay, we'll come over and do it for you.
Sam No!
You'd better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy, or it's your funeral.
Sam Stay back!
Sammy, help me! Open up! Help me! Sammy, open the window!
Sam Never! I knew it!
I'm not!
Sam So what are you, the flying nun?
Where's Nosferatu?
Sam Who?
The Prince of Darkness.
The night crawler. The bloodsucker. El Vampiro.
Sam Mike! They're here.
Look, this isn't a comic book, Sam, these guys are brutal killers.
Sam So are the Frog brothers!
If something happens down there, I won't have the strength to protect you.
Sam This time I'll protect you. Even though you're a vampire, You're still my brother.
If you try to stop us, or vamp out in any way, I'll stake you without even thinking twice about it!
Sam Chill out, Edgar.
Yeah, come on!
Where did you say you met these guys?
We're on the right trail. Flies and the undead go together, like bullets and guns. Come on!
Sam What's that smell?
Vampires, my friend. Vampires.
Dwayne [Sam shoots an arrow at Dwayne, and misses.]
You missed, sucker.
Sam Only once, pal.
Sam [Sam shoots again, pinning Dwayne against the stereo]
Death by stereo!
Max Don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy. It renders you powerless.
Sam [Sam turns to Edgar and whispers.]
Did you know that?
Of course. Everyone knows that.
We've been aware of some very serious vampire activity in town for a long time.
Santa Carla's become a haven for the undead.
As a matter of fact, we're almost certain that ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at City Hall.
Kill your brother, you'll feel better.
Sam Look, guys, my brother's not a bloodsucker. Look, it says here that if you kill the head vampire, all half-vampires will return to normal. Guys, if my brother's a vampire, believe me, he's only half.
Does he know who the head vampire is?
Sam No, I don't think so.
Then you'll have to kill him. And if you don't, then we will.
Sam It all started when my mom went to work at Max's video store. Max never comes in till after it's dark. The dog who chased my mom this morning was his. And listen to this: "Vampires require a daytime protector, a guardian, to watch over them as they sleep. Fierce dogs, the Hounds of Hell, are often employed for this purpose."
No kidding.
Sam Yeah? Well, what happens if my mom is dating the head vampire? You guys could nail him and save Santa Carla. "Truth, Justice, the American way" triumphs. Thanks to you two.
We'll check out Max.
I don't want you going down there, Sam.
Sam Well, I'm going, whether you want me to or not.
Look, this isn't a comic book, Sam; these guys are brutal killers.
Sam Oh, yeah? Well, guess what? So are the Frog Brothers! Look, who would you rather go down there with you, them or me? It's up to you.
If something happens down there, I'm not gonna have the strength to protect you.
Sam Well, this time, I'll protect you, buddy. Even though you're a vampire, you're still my brother.
Listen! Just so you know, if you try to stop us, or vamp out in any way, then I'll stake you without even thinking twice about it, and that is something you do not want!
Sam Chill out, Edgar.
Yeah, come on!
Where did you say you met these guys?
