Climbing Class - Horror Movies or MST3K (or MST3King Horror Movies)
Assuming this is a writing prompt, I’m gonna go horror movies because I know jack about Mystery Science Theater.
If there’s one thing that you can never do around Josh, it’s watch a horror movie. Not because he can’t handle it. Oh no. It’s because Josh will rip them to pieces regardless of how many times you tell him to shut up. It’s probably due to the fact that he’s got a degree in “movie making” and loves horror way too much due to his dad taking him on to sets when he was younger.
Chris used to find it annoying, some time long, long ago. But now? Now, he just hunts down the worst horror movies he can find, pops it in, and sits back in anticipation.
Tonight it’s “You’re Next”, a monstrosity that he had had to enlist Beth into smuggling past Josh by hiding it in her bag and putting it in the DVD player while he detracted her brother with getting snacks.
It starts out pretty cliche, Chris has to admit, but it’s not until the real action starts that Josh feels the need to speak up.
“She’s gonna run out that door and get her neck sliced open.” He informs the room at large and Sam hisses at him from her spot above them on the couch.
“Shut it, Geronimo.” She grumbles and Josh sags back into Chris with an exaggerated sigh.
“Oh look, it’s Kunimitsu.” Josh whispers to him when one of the masked men appear and Chris rolls his eyes as Emily makes a disgusted noise from the love seat.
“The sons totally hired hit-men so they could get their parents money.” He adds during the dinner scene. “Too bad Beth and Hannah already told me no on that idea.”
Chris bites back a snicker and hides his face in Joshes neck when Matt turns to glare at them.
“Dude.” Mike groans. “Not cool.”
“She’s totally gonna murder him with that blender.” said in a sing-song during the Kitchen fight and Beth laughs when Ashley dumps the now empty popcorn bowl onto Josh’s head.
“Shut your boyfriend up, Chris.” Jess whines from further along the rug. “Some of us would like to actually enjoy the movie. Spoiler free, you know.”
“But it’s so predictable!” Josh complains as the short haired brunette gets stabbed in the head. “Like now, she’s gonna call her fiance and find out that he’s the killer.”
“Okay,” Hannah shouts, pausing the movie and flipping on the lights. “That’s it. Chris, take my nerd of a brother and drag him off somewhere before he ruins the ending.” She begs and everyone let’s out a collective sigh of relief as Josh is ushered toward the door.
“She gets shot by the cops at the end!”
Well, not before he gets one last word in, at least.
