🎬 “Star Wackers” – A True Hollywood Nightmare
The set of Silver City Shadows was buzzing under the white-hot desert sun. Extras shuffled into position, grips adjusted cables, and the director barked last-minute orders. The male lead, Carter Vale, stood in costume—long coat, revolver on his hip—ready for the scene where he would face down the outlaw gang.
The assistant prop master hurried up with the weapon.
“Here’s your piece,” he said, almost too casually.
Dean Fitzpatrick, a seasoned stunt coordinator with a reputation for smelling trouble before it happened, caught something off in the man’s eyes. As Carter spun the revolver in his hand, Dean’s gut screamed.
“Hold it!” Dean barked, striding forward. He snatched the revolver, flipped the chamber open—real bullets. Not blanks.
A frozen silence fell over the crew.
Before anyone could process, a battered RV rumbled into the lot. Out stepped Randy Quaid, wearing sunglasses, a beat-up leather jacket, and an expression like he’d just walked out of a conspiracy thriller.
“You see?” Randy said, jabbing a finger at Dean. “They’re here. The Star Wackers. Illuminati Satanic network. They’ve been taking out actors who know too much about the dark rituals running this town. Robin Williams, Heath Ledger… now they’re after Carter.”
Dean wasn’t the type to believe in wild Hollywood legends, but the loaded gun in his hand was proof enough that something was rotten.
That night, Dean called the only two people he trusted for this kind of work—Joe Jukic and his brother Bruno.
Joe was ex-special forces with a mind for strategy, Bruno a quiet giant with a bone-breaking grip. They’d handled cartel protection jobs, Balkan mob disputes, even one messy incident in Macau involving a corrupt casino boss.
Now, they were stepping into the weirdest mission yet—protecting movie stars from an occult network that thrived in the shadows of the entertainment industry.
The next morning, Joe and Bruno arrived on set. Joe scanned the crew with a soldier’s precision. Bruno checked every prop weapon, wardrobe piece, and lighting rig.
They weren’t just guarding the cast—they were hunting.
What they found was worse than Dean imagined: coded messages hidden in the script revisions, pentagram etchings in the soundstage walls, and one producer whose office was lined with photos of dead celebrities and handwritten dates in red ink.
It was a hit list.
Randy Quaid paced the lot like a prophet, whispering warnings about “blood moon contracts” and “ritual sacrifices under the Dolby Theatre.” Dean listened, realizing that maybe Randy wasn’t crazy—just the only one talking.
The plan was simple: keep Carter alive until wrap, smoke out the Star Wackers, and burn the network from the inside.
On the final day of shooting, the enemy made their move. A camera crane “malfunctioned,” swinging down toward Carter’s head. Joe tackled him out of the way while Bruno vaulted onto the crane operator, disarming him of a switchblade.
Dean caught sight of a figure slipping through the shadows—a woman in a black hooded cloak. He chased her into the back lot, where the night air stank of gasoline. She dropped a match toward a stack of film reels, but Dean lunged, knocking her flat.
When they pulled the hood back, it was the assistant prop master.
She hissed something in Latin before Bruno gagged her.
Randy just shook his head. “Told you. The Star Wackers never stop. But tonight… you stopped them.”
As the sun came up over the Hollywood Hills, Dean, Joe, Bruno, and Randy stood together in the quiet aftermath. They knew the network wasn’t gone—only wounded. But for now, the stars were safe.
And somewhere deep in the city, the Satanic occult force took note of the new names on their list.
Joe Jukic. Bruno Jukic. Dean Fitzpatrick.
