Detailed Synopsis
McCreedy walks up to Dennis and chastises him for wearing headphones while on duty. The phone rings and McCreedy chastises Dennis once again for not answering the phone. They do their security rounds around the film lot and Dennis asks about a vault area, and McCreedy tells him there is nothing down there. Comstock calls McCreedy over the walkie talkie and tells him he needs to see him. Dennis ignores what McCreedy told him and walks into the vault area. Comstock complains to McCreedy that he didn't answer the phone and asks him about beer cans he found near the front gate. Dennis goes inside of the vault and hears gurgling noises. McCreedy notices static coming from his walkie talkie and runs towards the vault. Dennis continues into the vault and imagines he is onstage at a concert as a singer. McCreedy makes it back to the vault and finds Dennis dead on the ground, and he quickly closes the vault door. Later, McCreedy tells Comstock that Dennis quit and Comstock blames him and mentions every time they hire a new guard, they only last a few weeks. McCreedy insists he can do the job by himself, but Comstock tells him they need a second security guard in case McCreedy can't show up and their insurance is voided if no one is on duty. Kevin (Hobgoblins)|Kevin is hired as a replacement for Dennis. McCreedy takes Kevin on a tour of the lot and tells him to stay away from the vault area. McCreedy shows him a revolver he keeps at the security guard station, but tells him he has never needed to use it. After his shift, Kevin goes home and as he tries to kiss Amy (Hobgoblins)|Amy, she tells him Kyle (Hobgoblins)|Kyle and Daphne (Hobgoblins)|Daphne have stopped by. They say hello to Kevin and when Daphne sees he brought a movie for him and Amy to watch, she critiques it for not having an X rating. Nick (Hobgoblins)|Nick pulls up in his van and honks his horn. While Nick tells the others about his experience in Basic Training, Kyle leaves to call his "girlfriend". Kyle calls Fantazia's phone sex line and as she is describing what she wants him to do to her in a movie theater, Kevin catches him and tells him he better not have called a long distance number. Nick offers to teach Kevin hand to hand combat and they practice fight with a bow rake and hoe. Nick beats Kevin over and over again until Kevin gives up. Daphne and Nick go into his van to have sex, while Amy tells Kevin she humiliated her by losing. At work that evening, McCreedy notices something is on Kevin's mind and asks what is the matter. Kevin complains Amy is never happy with him. Something starts to beep and McCreedy sees Thug (Hobgoblins)|Thug sneaking around on the security camera. McCreedy drives off in the golf cart to confront the Thug and is ambushed by the Thug, who puts a knife to McCreedy's throat. Kevin sees it over the security camera and grabs the revolver. He runs to McCreedy and the Thug and threatens to shoot the Thug, who eventually runs away. McCreedy goes to call the police while Kevin goes to look for the Thug on the lot. Kevin calls McCreedy on the walkie talkie and tells him he is going down to the vault area and leaves his walkie talkie behind. McCreedy warns him not to go into the vault, but Kevin can't hear him. McCreedy catches Kevin as he is opening the vault, but it is too late and the Hobgoblins escape. McCreedy tells Kevin the story of the Hobgoblins, who he has been trying to keep from escaping for thirty years. He tells him the Hobgoblins crash landed and at first he thought they were friendly, but as time went on they started to destroy everyone they met and he locked them in the vault. McCreedy tells Kevin he has to track down the Hobgoblins and kill them before dawn. The Hobgoblins go to Kevin and Amy's house and trick Daphne by playing a horn that sounds like Nick's. She goes outside and is attacked by a Hobgoblin. She kills it with a hoe and as she opens the door to the house, another one attacks her and two more get into the house. Nick arrives and helps close the door before grabbing a grenade. Kevin drives up and turns off the lights in the house and the Hobgoblins run out. Kevin manages to lock the Hobgoblins in Nick's van. The Hobgoblins manage to unlock the van and get out. Kyle calls Fantazia again and she tells him she is right outside the house. Kyle walks outside and sees "Fantazia" who tells him she goes all the way and they should go to Reputation Road. They get into his car and drive away. Kevin sees them leave and Daphne tells him where Reputatin Road is and he gets into his car and leaves. While they are driving, Kyle asks "Fantazia" to marry him. "Fantazia" gets out of the car and tells Kyle to wait inside. She starts to push the car towards the edge of the hill, but Kevin arrives and saves Kyle by killing the Hobgoblin that was hiding in Kyle's car. Kyle gets out of the car and argues with Kevin over the reality of Fantazia and his car rolls off the cliff and explodes. They drive back to the house and kill a Hobgoblin that stayed in Nick's van. They go inside the house and Daphne tells Kevin, Amy went to Club Scum.
