He also asks Brian if the camera that went missing has been found. Some time later Brian nervously calls Paul and tells him that Death has yet to show up. Paul doesn't seem too worried about it. He says that he spoke to Death and he seemed really happy about hosting. Paul's glad that Death is doing it since of the four films being shown ("The Killer Shrews", "The Screaming Skull", "Nightmare Castle" and "I Bury the Living") he's only seen one ("Shrews"). Paul shows up at the studio with a bucket of apples for the office Halloween party when Brian rushes in and tells him that Death is a no-show. After Paul threatens to kill Death, Dave excitedly hands him a red table cloth. Inspiration strikes and Paul figures out how he can save the show (and the Longmeadow viewership from a marathon of "Polka Time"). During the course of the evening Paul's mood goes from care-free, to anger and then finally to worried. He remembers the time that he met James Best from "The Dukes of Hazard", calls the producer of "The Screaming Skull" and asks about the free burial services, and reads a book called "Dealing Creatively with Death". After the films are over, Paul makes a emotional plea directly to the camera, begging Death to contact him. Much to his surprise his phone rings and Death reveals that he never planned to show up and wanted to get his revenge on Paul. In order to prove that he watched the whole thing (and was not out reaping any souls like he said he was), he has Brian call up camera #9, the "missing" camera. Death had stolen it and set it up so he could record himself watching his revenge plan play out on his big screen TV. The plan backfires when Death gets a surprise call and gets fired from his day job. Written by Paul S. Fish See less
