00:28 [GIGGLING]
00:30 How embarrassing.
00:33 What a geek.
00:34 Goof, I'd burn that if I were you.
00:38 Yours isn't any better.
00:39 Gary, is that you?
00:45 You look exactly the same.
00:47 Gee, thanks.
00:49 Look at Sam in kindergarten.
00:51 What a dork.
00:54 And just so you guys don't think I'm
00:55 getting away with anything, this is me in first grade.
01:00 [LAUGHTER]
01:04 Cute.
01:06 So why do we have to bring these things anyway?
01:09 Because photos tell the future.
01:11 Do you?
01:13 Sure.
01:14 Look at Gary's picture.
01:16 You can already tell he's going to be very serious.
01:20 And look at Kiki's smile.
01:22 You know she's going to be trouble.
01:24 Oh, you got that right.
01:27 What does that dumb look on Frank's face mean?
01:30 Don't push me, little skid mark.
01:33 Seriously.
01:35 You can learn all sorts of stuff from pictures.
01:38 The question is, do you really want to know
01:42 what the future has in store?
01:44 Or is it better off being a surprise?
01:48 You might say you want to know, but what
01:51 if you discovered that the future held
01:53 something incredibly evil, and there was
01:59 nothing you could do to change it?
02:01 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,
02:09 I call this story "Tale of the Curious Camera."
02:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:20 Smile.
02:32 Good.
02:34 Next.
02:36 Some kids are born to lead, others to follow.
02:41 And some kids, like Matt Dorney, are just born victims.
02:46 Yo, Matt.
02:51 You read this book?
02:51 No.
02:56 Oh.
02:57 Well, are you sure you haven't read it?
02:59 Here, look closer.
03:00 Guess I was wrong.
03:06 The book read you.
03:08 Oh, no, leave it.
03:09 It looks good.
03:11 I said, leave it.
03:13 Next.
03:14 Whoa.
03:25 It's the ketchup.
03:26 Smile for the birdie.
03:37 Smile.
03:39 Good.
03:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:44 OK, superstars, listen up.
03:47 Catch pretty pictures.
03:48 Here you go, Lawrence.
03:49 Good practice today, guys.
03:52 Now, don't forget, we play Eastern Friday night.
03:56 Bus leaves 4 o'clock with or without you.
04:01 Here you go, Dorney.
04:05 Jason, your practice guy wants a hustle up, Daddy.

04:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:41 Hello?
05:06 Anyone home?
05:07 [DOORBELL RINGING]
05:11 Hey, don't bother wiping your feet.
05:19 It's a mess in here already.
05:22 Want some tea?
05:24 No, thanks.
05:25 I-- I came by my pictures.
05:31 Yeah.
05:32 You were at my school last week?
05:34 Yeah.
05:35 What was it?
05:36 The basketball team?
05:40 Oh, yeah.
05:41 Yeah, you're the ketchup kid.
05:43 What is it?
05:45 Hey, you want some more prints?
05:46 Not exactly.
05:48 You know, I used to be a pretty decent photographer.
05:52 Always reveal the inner man.
05:54 That was my motto.
05:56 What's your motto now?
05:58 Take cash, because checks bounce.
06:01 Whoa.
06:03 What is this?
06:05 It's my picture.
06:06 Must be some mistake.
06:07 No mistake.
06:13 This is your portrait, all right.
06:15 But--
06:17 Tell me if I'm wrong.
06:19 No one notices you, right?
06:21 You let people walk all over you?
06:23 You don't take action?
06:25 In other words, you're invisible.
06:32 Get it?
06:33 Camera never lies.
06:39 Look, my mom paid for real pictures.
06:41 She'd kill me if I gave her that.
06:43 Too bad.
06:44 It's a striking resemblance.
06:45 Come on, can't you just take another one?
06:47 Hey, sorry, no can do.
06:49 One per customer.
06:51 And I don't give refunds.
06:53 Great.
06:57 But maybe I can give you something to make up for it.
07:05 Like what?
07:06 Like maybe a camera?
07:10 What, you just have an extra one lying around?
07:13 As a matter of fact, I do.
07:16 There's this one camera I think might be just the thing
07:19 for a kid like you.
07:21 Really?
07:21 Mm-hmm.
07:25 Will you keep it in a safe?
07:27 Oh, absolutely.
07:29 It's one of a kind.
07:30 One of the first instant picture cameras,
07:33 a prototype from the 1940s.
07:52 Here you go.
07:55 All yours.
07:58 This thing really works?
07:59 Oh, it really works.
08:01 I can really have it?
08:03 Only if you really want it.
08:04 Oh, I want it.
08:05 Awesome, thanks.
08:06 Hey.
08:07 Listen, kid, you be careful with that.
08:13 You know, sometimes it kind of--
08:16 ah, never mind.
08:17 I'll be careful, I swear.
08:18 Yeah.
08:22 Oh, and kid, I think it's still got some film in it.
08:50 The film must be all this.
08:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:56,
09:24 Hey, take my picture.
09:27 Forget it.
09:28 No crack the lens.
09:29 Mm-hmm.
09:30 What is this?
09:44 I didn't do it.
09:51 The wind just blew it over.
09:52 All right, mom's not going to like this.

12:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:36 What'd you say?
12:38 I heard you got the wrong end of a brain transplant.
12:40 Any truth to that?
12:43 Boy, you're stinking little--
12:45 [GRUNTS]
12:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:49 Let's go, gentlemen.
12:52 We don't have all day.

14:13 [GRUNTING]
14:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:15 What happened?
14:16 Don't touch it.
14:17 Don't touch it.
14:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:24 Jody Chung.
14:27 Yep.
14:29 Lisa Elliott.
14:32 Eh, maybe.
14:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:35 Jim Stepanara.
14:38 Yep.
14:40 Ben Cloudson.
14:42 Eh, maybe.
14:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
14:46 Tony Krieger.
14:48 That's a definitely.
14:51 Matt, did you take my markers?
14:53 Uh, yeah.
14:55 I'm just trying to figure out who in my class
14:57 deserves to have their picture taken.
14:59 You're in that by me again?
15:02 Well, can you promise to keep a secret?
15:05 OK.
15:12 This is really going to sound weird, but you know that guy
15:16 that took the basketball pictures last week?
15:19 Yeah.
15:21 Well, he gave me this.
15:25 It's like some kind of magic camera.
15:29 Whenever I take a picture, something bad
15:32 happens to the thing I shoot.
15:35 [SIGHS]
15:36 Warm.
15:38 OK.
15:39 Have you totally lost your mind, or is
15:42 this some kind of sick joke?
15:44 No, I swear it's the truth.
15:46 Watch.
15:48 You see that over there?
15:50 Watch.
15:52 Here, just hold on.
15:53 Wait.
15:54 That's--
15:55 No, it's got to be jammed or something.
15:57 Just hold on.
15:59 That's really great.
16:00 Um, I'm going back to planet Earth, OK?
16:04 Amy, just wait.
16:05 Amy, wait!
16:07 Stop it, man.
16:08 I don't believe you.
16:11 Watch out!
16:12 I still can't believe it.
16:20 I mean, I could have been killed.
16:25 [SIGHS]
16:27 What are you doing?
16:33 There's something on this one.
16:35 Let me see it.
16:38 Amy, this isn't on the picture.
16:42 It's in the picture.
16:44 What?
16:46 It's weird.
16:47 It's on all of them.
16:54 It almost looks like--
16:56 like--
16:58 What?
17:00 What do you see?
17:03 I think we got company.
17:04 Mr. Calhoun?
17:20 It's me, Matt Dorney.
17:21 I want--
17:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:25 [LAUGHS]
17:42 Excuse me.
17:43 I'm looking for someone who used to work.
17:45 No, no, no, no, no, no.
17:47 I'm in Milano on Friday, Paris on the weekend,
17:50 and New York to discuss my gallery opening.
17:53 I'll call you from the plane.
17:55 I promise.
17:56 [LAUGHS]
17:57 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
18:00 Mr. Calhoun?
18:02 C'est moi.
18:04 Oh, it's you.
18:06 Look, I'm going to be late for a shoot.
18:08 Mr. Calhoun, I got to talk to you about the camera.
18:10 Sorry, I've got to fly.
18:11 Mr. Calhoun, the camera--
18:13 Look, kid, I had that camera for 20 years.
18:17 It gave me nothing but bad luck.
18:20 I give it to you, and voila, bad luck gone,
18:23 and the phone's ringing off the hook.
18:24 Hallelujah, my life's just begun.
18:27 Mr. Calhoun, I don't understand.
18:29 Look, kid, I used to be just like you,
18:32 afraid of life, afraid of everything.
18:34 When that camera came into my life,
18:36 I thought all my troubles were over.
18:39 That camera meant power, except the only power it had
18:43 was over me.
18:45 It destroys everything it shoots.
18:47 Don't let it destroy you.
18:49 Mr. Calhoun, what is it?
18:51 You saw the pictures.
18:53 Have you seen the gremlin yet?
18:55 Gremlin?
18:56 The little thing on all the pictures?
18:58 Yeah, that little thing.
19:01 Near as I can figure, it's all that little monster's fault.
19:04 What it is, I don't know.
19:06 And hey, I don't care anyway.
19:08 Mr. Calhoun, I don't want it.
19:09 You got to take it back.
19:11 Sorry, I couldn't take it back if I wanted to.
19:14 You can't give it away.
19:16 I know, I tried a thousand times.
19:18 Give it to me.
19:19 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, no.
19:21 I handed it to you.
19:23 That camera chose you just like it chose me.
19:27 Well, maybe someday you can get rid of it, too.
19:30 Until then, I feel sorry for you.
19:36 Mr. Darling, on the "I'm all."
19:41 [music playing]
19:44 Oh, hey, aren't you supposed to say cheese
20:09 when you aim that thing?
20:10 Where are you going?
20:11 The movie's in.
20:12 We're late.
20:13 You can't-- I mean, don't go.
20:15 We haven't been out in weeks, honey.
20:17 It's only a movie.
20:18 Yeah, but--
20:19 Besides, you wouldn't be interested.
20:20 It's got dialogue.
20:23 But you might have an accident.
20:25 Oh, don't be silly.
20:28 You can't go.
20:29 Don't go, please.
20:30 But we-- it's gotten into you.
20:32 I can't explain, but just trust me.
20:34 Don't go.
20:35 You might--
20:36 Listen, we'll talk about it when we get back, OK?
20:38 Gotta go.
20:39 Bye.
20:40 [music playing]
20:43 Why didn't you give it back?
20:53 He wouldn't take it.
20:56 Amy, I just took a picture of my dad.
21:01 What?
21:04 Don't look at it.
21:05 If we don't look at it, maybe it won't happen.
21:07 We have to.
21:08 No.
21:09 [music playing]
21:12 No!
21:27 We gotta call the police.
21:28 And tell them what?
21:29 I don't know, but we gotta do something.
21:35 Where are you going?
21:36 That should do it.
21:50 Yeah, I know.
21:54 But what if the cameras already--
21:56 [music playing]
21:59 No way.
22:17 I'm gonna smash that camera.
22:19 Did you forget it?
22:21 It won't work.
22:23 We gotta do something.
22:25 Matt, it's gonna get Mom and Dad.
22:28 Matt, what are we gonna do?
22:30 [music playing]
22:33 I got an idea.
22:40 Matt, what are you doing?
22:53 [music playing]
22:56 Matt?
23:00 [music playing]
23:03 I don't know if this is gonna work, but it's worth a try.
23:17 Put it down.
23:18 OK.
23:19 Let's see what this thing does to itself.
23:22 Ready?
23:23 Three.
23:24 One, two, and three.
23:30 [screaming]
23:33 Did it work?
23:38 Yes.
23:39 [phone ringing]
23:42 Hello?
23:46 Hi, Matt.
23:48 It's Dad.
23:50 Your mom and I are on the side of the road.
23:53 What happened?
23:54 Are you guys all right?
23:55 No, no, no.
23:56 We're OK.
23:57 We're fine.
23:58 Only some fool truck really ran us off the road.
24:00 We missed the movie, so we'll be home soon, OK?
24:04 OK.
24:05 Bye.
24:06 They're OK.
24:11 They're on their way home.
24:14 Man, I thought they were goners.
24:17 Yes!
24:19 What's the matter?
24:22 Where'd that come from?
24:24 You don't think so.
24:32 [horse neighing]
24:33 Get down!
24:34 What's going on?
24:35 The gremlin is in the camcorder.
24:38 [horse neighing]
24:40 Don't let it shoot you.
24:45 Help me, Matt!
24:47 Is it safe?
25:03 I think so.
25:06 Get down!
25:11 Get down!
25:15 Come on, for the birdie!
25:17 Hey!
25:19 [horse neighing]
25:22 [gunshots]
25:25 [gunshots]
25:52 Kahuna's right about the camera.
25:57 It destroys everything it shoots.
25:59 Mom and Dad.
26:04 All we gotta do is figure out how to tell Mom and Dad.
26:17 Oh, boy.
26:19 [engine starting]
26:21 Cool.
26:39 So, uh, can I have my picture back?
26:41 Sure.
26:42 But first, I want to get a group shot.
26:47 [screaming]
26:49 It's only a prop from Dad's store.
26:56 What are they so scared of?
26:58 Gee, I don't know.
