SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act One
Walter Knope is having a bad week.
His antique store is bankrupt. The bank has locked him out. His house is now filled with everything he couldn't sell. His teenage daughter thinks he's embarrassing, his marriage has seen better days, and Walter is beginning to suspect middle age may just be a long series of humiliations ending in death.
Then Richard Sarandon moves in across the street.
Richardis rich, handsome, charming and spectacularly confident. The neighborhood women can't stop looking at him. The husbands barely notice. Walter notices everything.
Especiallythe two body bags carried out of Richard's house in the middle of the night.
Then Walter sees Richard do something no human being should be able to do.
Writtenby Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHTis a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, jealousy, masculinity and the nightmare of discovering that the impossibly perfect man next door may actually be a monster.
Walter calls the police. They find nothing. Richard smiles. Walter looks insane.
Then comes the neighborhood party. Pool. Booze. Barbecue. Husbands watching football. Wives watching Richard.
Withhelp from Andy, his beer-bellied neighbor and resident horror-movie expert, Walter finally puts a name to what moved in across the street.
Anincubus.
Ademon that seduces women and feeds on their life force.
NowRichard knows Walter is onto him. Walter knows Richard wants Samantha. And the fight Walter thought was about his pride, his marriage and his rapidly collapsing life is about to become something much worse.
Luckily,Walter's house is currently filled with swords, crossbows, armor and medieval weapons nobody wanted to buy.
Maybethe antique business wasn't such a bad idea after all.
