The gang attends a local horror convention together in an effort to meet Adam and Joe's favorite film director (John Landis) and hand him their mock trailer for Shinpads. When they can't afford a front-of-the-line "gold pass", Joe pretends to be disabled in order to skip the three hour long wait. Meanwhile, Lance is concerned that he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease after sharing a beer with the lead singer of Faster Pussycat.

When Adam and Joe use Kane Hodder's cell phone contacts to lure scream queen Danielle Harris to Holliston to act in their short film, the diva begins using Adam for money and the painkillers from his recent dental surgery. Meanwhile, the boys obtain a free production intern named Nicolo, a townie from South Boston with a knack for screwing things up.
