Midnight downtown: a band called the Kidz from hell play. A man with brim hat goes in for a beer. His face seems to have bandages. A woman with a strange pair of glasses, a one piece set, stops a young long haired man from drinking a drink with the bandaged faced man, who put some kind of potion in the cup. The long haired man cut his hand. The bandaged face and the woman face off, the woman with a knife. She cuts across him. He says, "Damn you to hell." She says, "Too late." The long hair tries to stop the woman but she knees him. A man dressed in a Viking helmet (a band member?) asks if he is alright, using "dude." DEMONS OF ANTIQUITY: The monster man has on a bottom of a jacket or something and great muscles. This is three times the woman has stopped him. For centuries he has gone on, feeding, changing, no one knew. But the slut plagues him. He hates all mortals. A gang member with a rag on his head hanging down points at him--this is Cripp turf. "You no blood?" The man says, "Blood, did you say blood?" The gang teen pulls a knife. He calls them humans and with his hand rips the face off the rag head, burning part of the front of the face. "I will let your friend dribble a bit while I work on you." He torments the other one, "Fear me, child. That's what I love. Fear me!" The long hair, Mike, runs after the girl. The drink she stopped him from drinking would have made him dead. She tells him, "Go home and live your life. My life ended a long time ago." She tells him if he follows her, he will be sorry. "You're not fixin to blast me in the noodles again, are you?" She won't stop him but he will see things he will wish you never did. He will take his chances. She calls him Mr. Macho, "I'm so thrilled." They go to a funeral home where the door is unlocked. The thing will want embalming chemicals for his potion. Some things have not changed since the pharaohs. In the lab they find decaying bodies and overturned coffins, parts of the bodies have intestines and bones sticking out. One has a tongue coming out. She tells Mike to get used to it. He wanted to come along. The mummy is working on his formula. He has to act soon...he is already falling apart and is overdue. By this time tomorrow, he will be a new man. Morning in motel: Mike wakes up naked with the woman, Catherine whose name he just finds out. Next month will be a year that Catherine is hunting this thing...he killed her fiance. Mike says, "I'm sorry." She is over the pain. The monster needs a new host body once a month. He steals stuff from funeral homes and makes a potion, hypnotizes his victims first, then slips them the drug. The body's switch--the monster in the good one and the poor slob in a rotting corpse. She showers while talking to Mike about all this. He feeds on fear and preys on homeless people. A man with a cross ear ring will sit down and have a drink with the mummy man that night. They drink. The mummy man shoots the Oriental waitress in the neck. The mummy switches into the man. The man goes into the mummified decaying body. A bald man with a patch over his eye and a tank top shoots the mummy body, killing the poor victim, shooting out his stomach and intestines. Drool comes out his mouth. The bald man says, "Got the bastard!!" The new body has a punk hair cut, a shoulder pad, a spiked belt, and walks out, "Call the cops, someone." The mummy body leans over, dying (this is really the punk rock guy). The mummy in the new body walks out of the Snot Club, "Ah.

BELLY OF THE BEAST: Cathy tells Mike if he can't keep up, he doesn't have to follow. Mike asks what has her on the rag. She points to three dead bodies found by police. They go to an alley where Cathy realizes there is someone hiding. It is an old man, a bum. He tells her what happened. A cop questions a subway token taker. He describes the man who dove into the tunnel (the glass the taker is behind has bullet holes in it from previous hold ups). Cathy and Mike overhear. Cathy jumps down the tracks. Mike follows her. She warns him about the 3rd rail and tells him to try and not step on it. Roger leads John, both cops, after them. He can't see her in an alcove and tells her so. "That's the idea, numb nuts," she mocks him. "Oh," he answers. The cops use a lighter to find out who is moaning. They find a torn apart group of bodies with guts runnin' down the walls. One with a head band is alive but has a pipe or pole sticking into his lower stomach, bare under an open vest. The mummy jumps out at them, sticks John in the arm with a needle, grabs their guns and shoots Roger. The mummy wants the other cop, John, alive and healthy. The cop asks what he is and the mummy says, "Your future." Cathy fires a gun which knocks the cop's gun out of the mummy's hand. It gets away. John covers Cathy who calls him "Pus-nuts." The bums who live down in the subways for years are there, seemingly decayed but alive, "The master has left us food!!" John and Cathy fire at them but are out of ammo. Cathy cradles the head of the dying and soon to be dead Roger, "Shit! Shit!!" John is so sorry that they have to leave him. Roger calls, "No, John. Please, you can't just leave me, not to them!!" They run down a maintenance tunnel and hear his screams. That thing stuck John with a needle. The trio hide behind a grating. The ghouls come and start to break in. They start to pull at Mike. John has been hypo stuck with the transformation elixir. As he runs off, the mummy body is now inhabited by John the cop! John, as the punk, now decaying, in the former body of the mummy, frees Mike, and will hold off the ghouls, telling Cathy and Mike to find that bastard and kill him. He yells at them to go. They run and hear his screams.

He knows they won't take any chances and says, "Neither (yes, incorrect spelling and all) will I." He calls forth minions to help him. The clawed zombie men come out, saying, "Kill!" over and over. Mike fires a head off one but this doesn't stop them. Mike has to reload so the pair run. The mummy comes up, "The hunt is on." At Killer's Kafe, the mummy is sitting with a man in a tank top which says, "Bone-Head," and wearing an eye patch on his left eye and with a punk hairstyle, cut down the middle like a Mohican and no hair on the sides. He also wears a spiked bracelet. The guy is trying to be nice, "We're all in this together, ya know." He figgered the man has some sickness. Mike shoots the "shit heads" as he calls the zombies.
