Bess borrowed one of Nancy’s nightgowns, and they sat on the couch in Nancy’s living room, munching popcorn and watching a black-and-white horror movie on TV.

“Why are we watching this movie?” Bess asked with a yawn. “It’s lousy.”

“We’re watching it because there’s nothing else on,” Nancy said.

Nancy and Bess stared at the screen. The movie was an old horror film called Vampire Castle. Even though they had tuned in late, it wasn’t hard to follow the story.

A tall, pale man stood alone in the dimly lighted hall of a medieval castle. A beautiful young woman in a hooded cloak approached him. She folded down the hood to reveal her long, curly blond hair.

“Virginia,” said the pale young man in a strange accent. “I told you to leave. You must leave immediately.”

“I had to see you again,” the actress replied. “I love you, Nigel.”

“You can’t. I am no longer Nigel. Now I am only a terrible monster,” said the young man.

“Who are these people, anyway?” Bess moaned. “They can’t act, and I bet they can’t even scream.”

“It’s definitely not a Hank Steinberg film, that’s for sure,” Nancy agreed.

“Nigel, why are you staring at my neck?” asked the blond woman on the TV screen.

“Oh, no, Virginia,” said Nigel, tearfully. “The evil curse has started already. I am becoming a vampire. You must leave and never come back.”

Virginia wrapped her cloak tightly around her neck and turned slowly. Then the orchestra played louder as she walked out of the castle and closed the door. In a bright flash of light, Nigel turned into a bat and flew out the window.

The End. The movie credits started rolling by.

“Well, it’s over,” Nancy said. But Bess had fallen asleep with her hand in the popcorn bowl.

Nancy was too tired to get up and switch off the set, so she just sat there watching the credits. Suddenly a name jumped out of the screen. It was the name of the actress who had played the starring role of Virginia.

Nancy ran to the set to make sure she had read it correctly. No—there it was in big black-and-white letters. The actress who had played Virginia was Pamela Teppington!
