SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Two
Walter Knope has finally discovered the one thing worse than suspecting your new neighbor is a sex demon.
Being right.
Inside Richard's immaculate house, Walter gets the confirmation he was looking for. The Maitlands are dead. Richard isn't human. And he isn't just interested in Samantha.
He wants everything Walter has.
Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly.
What starts as an argument about Richard quickly becomes an argument about money, sex, failure, jealousy and every other thing a married couple has been politely not saying out loud. Sam packs a bag. Walter, terrified Richard will get to her, practically helps her leave.
Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, masculinity and what happens when your midlife crisis actually grows horns.
Walter needs someone who understands monsters.
Enter Bobby Joe Williams.
Local horror host. Full-time drunk. Part-time monster expert. Possibly the least reassuring person you could want standing between your family and eternal damnation.
Bobby Joe confirms the bad news. Richard is an incubus. He feeds on souls, controls his victims through desire and, unfortunately, appears to be immortal.
Meanwhile, Richard has already started remaking the neighborhood.
Walter goes looking for Andy and instead finds him dead in the bathtub, his wife Alli transformed into something considerably less neighborly. Walter barely escapes with his life.
Then Samantha comes home.
Richard is waiting.
This time, Sam sees him too.
When Richard finally drops the charm and shows them what he really is, he offers Walter everything he ever wanted. Money. Freedom. A fresh start.
All he wants in return is Samantha.
Walter says no.
Then Mia introduces Richard's face to a medieval mace.
For a moment, it feels like the Knopes may actually have this thing under control.
Then Richard takes their daughter.
Now Walter and Sam are done running. They need Mia back. They need help.
Unfortunately, the closest thing they have to a professional is Bobby Joe Williams in boxer shorts drinking margarita straight from a blender pitcher.
So they do what any responsible parents would do.
They raid the failed antique business.
Crossbow. Mace. Axe. Sword. Armor.
Walter's junk has finally found a purpose.
And across the street, Richard is waiting.
Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton.

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.
Richard is rich, handsome, charming and spectacularly confident. The neighborhood women can't stop looking at him. The husbands barely notice. Walter notices everything.
Especially the 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.
Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is 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.
With help from Andy, his beer-bellied neighbor and resident horror-movie expert, Walter finally puts a name to what moved in across the street.
An incubus.
A demon that seduces women and feeds on their life force.
Now Richard 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.
Maybe the antique business wasn't such a bad idea after all.
