The Dead of Night

"'The pizza arrived. I saved you a slice' — Mortimer"The Dead of Night was a 2013 summer production, conceived, written, filmed, edited, and uploaded all within a couple days. It was filmed with the intent of making a sequel which would be that year's December movie. The Dead of Night is set just a few hours after The Dead of Night: Prologue and almost immediately before The Dead of Night 2: Carrots in the Wind.

Plot
The movie opens with Mortimer (Kendall) arriving at Randolph's (Joe Y.) house. Randolph says he has something in the basement to show Mortimer so he heads downstairs to grab it. While downstairs Randolph is shown being stalked. The 2015 remaster reveals that it was Giles (Andrew) who was stalking Randolph. Randolph turns around to see Giles and is caught off guard. It cuts to Randolph watching back upstairs. Mortimer offers Randolph a slice of pizza when he gets back upstairs but Randolph is now behaving strangely. He says they should both go to sleep.

Mortimer is sleeping on the floor and Randolph is watching him. The distorted view reveals that whatever creature first took the form of Giles is now in the form of Randolph. Randolph attempts to strike Mortimer with a golf club but misses and wakes Mortimer. Mortimer flees and hides in the bathroom. Randolph walks down the hallway in search of Mortimer. Mortimer leaves the bathroom to find that Randolph is no longer in the bedroom. He begins searching for Randolph then grabs a knife to defend himself. Mortimer eventually works his way to the basement where he finds the real Randolph tied to a chair. The impostor is nowhere to be seen. Mortimer frees Randolph and they head upstairs. Randolph lies on the couch, as he is injured. Mortimer hears a noise and goes to check it out. Mortimer walks into the bathroom and shuts the door. A struggle is heard. A moment later Mortimer walks out of the bathroom as if nothing happened. He states to Randolph that they need to go to his house in order to be safe. The two leave out the front door. The camera pans from the door to reveal a dead Mortimer in the bathroom. The Mortimer that Randolph left with was the shape-shifting creature that killed Giles and tied up Randolph.
