- [Mom] Don't you think you'd be happier
with a roommate though?
- I'll be fine, Mom.
I'll get a cat or something.
- Oh, you don't want a cat, Sam.
I had a cat once in my 20s.
You know what happened?
It died.
I came home the next day, it was dead on my sofa.
- I'm sure that's not all cats.
(eerie music)
- I just want you to be happy, Sammy.
You okay on funds?
You can't live on Rice-A-Roni alone, you know.
- Thanks, Mom, but I'll be fine.

- Hi, Samantha.
Looks like you're all settled in, huh?
- Yeah, it's coming together all right.
- Hey, sorry to bother you,
but I noticed that you didn't sign and initial right here.
On your lease.
- Oh, really?
I could've sworn.
- We just want all our tenants
to be aware of the rules.
It's an old building, and we like
to keep things well-preserved.
You know how pets are.
- Yeah.
(suspenseful music)
(boxes crash)
(cat screeches)
Ow.

(whimsical music)
Well, hi there.
(phone buzzes)
Do you have a name?
(cat purrs)
(cat meows)
Meow.
I like it.
(cat purrs)
(tisks)
(sighs)
Good night.

- Hi, Samantha.
A few of the tenants reported
hearing odd noises last night,
and I just wanted to make sure
that everything was okay.
- Odd noises?
- Animal noises, scratching, hissing.
- Oh, well, I didn't hear anything.
- You do know there is a very strict no pets policy?
- Leave, Mr. Hicken.
In the name of God, leave us in peace.
- Mm-hmm.
This weekend?
Are you sure you want to visit?
It's supposed to storm this weekend.
There's a severe weather advisory.
- Even better.
We'll order a pizza and watch
one of those awful scary movies that you love so much.
- But you hate pizza, and those movies
always give you nightmares.
- I'll live, Sammy.
Pizza and movies never killed anyone, you know.
- [Man] You look as if you'd seen a ghost.
- Good evening, miss.
Got your 'za right here.
(metal music)
- Oh.
- All right.
That'll be 17.50.
- I think I have some cash in my bedroom.
I'll be right back.
- No sweat.
(intense music)
Oh, hey there, little kitty.
Sorry I didn't bring any 'za for you.
You're a cute little kitty, aren't you?
- Got it.
(cat screeches) (man shouts)
(Sam gasps)
(thunder rumbles)
- [Officer] Let us know if any concrete evidence turns up,
and we'll send someone over to investigate.
Until then, there's nothing we can do.
(thunder rumbles)
Ma'am, are you there?
- Uh, yeah.
Thank you.
(thunder rumbles)
(intense music)
(Sam whimpers)
(knocks on door)
- Hi, Samantha.
- Hi.
- Hate to bother you,
but the tenants are very concerned.
- Sounds again?
- From your apartment.
I don't need to remind you
about the rules, do I?
- You know, I heard some sounds coming from the dumpster.
Maybe it's a raccoon.
- The alleyway, right.
I'll look into that.
Just, if you see anything,
bring it to my attention immediately, okay?
(thunder rumbles)
(eerie music)
- [Reporter] A severe thunderstorm
was located near Plothal Lake,
moving southeast at 35 miles per hour.
For your protection, move to an interior room
on the lower floor (man shouts)
of the building. (cat screeches)
(intense music)
(thunder cracks)
(Sam gasps)
- Oh god.
How could you?
- It's in their blood, Samantha.
- Jesus, you scared me.
- It's what I've been trying to tell you.
- Wait, what's going on?
- These are vile creatures, Samantha.
They're not what you think they are.
They are capable of heinous acts
beyond your wildest nightmares.
- It was you.
(thunder cracks)
What kind of sick landlord are you?
- I've been trying to protect you.
I've seen countless of their kind,
shredding the drapery, clawing the freshly painted walls,
the putrid little fiends.
(soft music)
(cat meows)
(Sam tisks)
- Come here.
So you are just an ordinary kitty.
And you.
- You don't know what you're dealing with.
- She's mine now.
Don't touch her.
(thunder cracks)
- I'm sorry, Samantha,
but you leave me no choice.
(grunts) (cat screeches)
(soft music)
(cat purrs)
- You saved my life.
- Samantha.
Oh my.
(siren wails)
- Ooh.
- Oh.
(dramatic music)
(panther roars)
- You know, these movies are the reason
these things even happen.
(cat meows)
(Sam tisks)
- Come here.
Just watch the movie, Mom.
(cat meows)
