[The South Park Elementary Library, night. The Goths and Vamps are gathered at table there, complete with candles]

Mike: We call upon the creator of all that is dark! The godfather of Death and Despair! Edgar Allan Poe, your followers in darkness beg for your help! [everyone looks around, but nothing happens] We summon to the world of the living the great Edgar Allan Poe! Knower of all that is misery! Your children need special guidance! Per se.

Pete: This, is your plan?! Try to summon Edgar Allan Poe back from the dead?!

Mike: Edgar Allan Poe was the original Vamp kid.

Pete: No, he was the original Goth, but he'd been dead for 150 years!

Black Vamp: Ey, look man! All genres of Gothic subcultures are derivatives of Poe's work. Muthafucka!

Pete: Look, we came to you for help, and all you've done since then is waste our time! [a violent thunderclap and lightning immediately follow, and a vortex opens up on the ceiling]

Cowlick Vamp: Holy shit look!

[Edgar Allan Poe appears and the vortex vanishes]

Poe: Where am I? What is this place?

Firkle: It's him! It's Edgar Allan Poe.

Poe: Why have the living summoned me from my rest? [Mike taps Pete to signal that it's his turn to speak]

Pete: Uhhhhh okayokay, listen: there's this camp for troubled kids, right? Only they aren't helping kids, they're, they're purposefully turning them into Emos.

Poe: Emos? ...Ew-oh my God, Emos are such wannabe conformists.

Mike: Yeah, oh yes!

Pete: Right!

Poe: Children of Darkness, I would help you, but I fear I cannot be seen with a bunch of douchey Vamp kids and their poser-ass plastic fangs.

Pete: Thank you!

Mike: Hey!

Pete: I'm just saying it's nice to know that Edgar Allan Poe agrees wth us.

Poe: Agrees with who? Is that red dye in your hair or did a blood demon take a shit on your head, poser?

Black Vamp:  Ah ah! He got you there, nigga!

Pete: Okay, look, we're running out of time. You have to help us stop the Emos.

Poe: Why should I? Just 'cause you summoned me doesn't mean you're the boss of me!

Pete: Uh, yeah, it kind of does.

Poe: [floats away, mocking] Oh okay, Mom. Let's go fight the Emos, Mom.
