Nomadic shape-shifting creatures with human and feline origins. Vulnerable to the deadly scratch of a cat, The sleepwalker feeds upon the life-force of virginal human females. Probable source of the vampire legend. Chilcoathe encyclopedia of arcane knowledge 1st edition 1884. Bogeta Bay, California. Police have arrive at a house around which hundreds of cats have been hanged. Inside, more dead cats. A mother and son are missing. A desiccated corpse of a little girl falls from the closet. She has a rose in her hair. Travis Indiana. In a run down house, a young man cuts a 'T' into his arm for Tanya who is circled in the high school yearbook. A cat approaches a trap but it hops away in time. Mother is disappointed. The young man dances with his mother. He will be seeing a girl who works as the theater. Mother asks if she is nice. She says she is not jealous, but concerned. Their dancing becomes more vigorous. She kisses him in a very unmotherly way. He carries her upstairs and we see a light glowing strangely in one of the rooms. A girl is dancing to a walkman and putting on quite a performance. Charles startles her and orders something. Tanya is told that Charles has just moved in. They seem to hit it off. Charles seems smitten with Tanya. When Charles arrives, a cop is there and has a cat in a bag. Mother is very concerned about the girl. She seems jealous. SHe is very concerned that the girl is nice and pure. She reports that she is famished. Charles reads a poem about sleepwalkers. Feeding on virtue, driven away as outsiders. The teacher probes a bit where he transferred from. Charles challenges a teacher when he claims a box has four sides. He's made an enemy. Tanya is with some friends and they agree that she's a big waste. Charles and Tanya go out after school as they hop in his sports car (Trans-Am?) Tanya's mother does gravestone rubbings. They ignore the ethical question. She invites him to a photographing session at the old graveyard. It turns out Charles is a grave rubber as well. Charles is pulled over by Mr. Boggs. Boggs pushes him on Ohio. He announces that the transcripts are faked. When Boggs suggests a medium of exchange, reaching for his trousers, Charles teaches him to keep his hand to himself. Charles is a bit frisky and speeds home. A cop gives chase. Charles almost runs over a little girl. When the cop (Andy) pulls up beside him, Charles taunts him until Andy's cat hisses at him, causing Charles to become a monster for a moment much to the surprise of Andy. Charles pulls over and makes his car invisible. Andy is surprised he lost him but the cat can see him. Charles is concerned about the cat, but Andy drives off. Charles then goes back the way he came with an apparently different car. Some of the cops are shooting the breeze later, and Andy says the perpetrator seemed to have no face and didn't like Clovis the cat. Charles arrives home without having "agotten it". Mother is disappointed and slaps him, turning monster like. Charles has an open gash on his wrist just because the cat saw him. Cats are starting to gather  outside the house. A cat outside is caught in a trap, but there are many more. Charles and ma have sex. Mother is concerned that Charles is in love with the girl. He assures her that he loves her. Tanya drops by. Mother invites her in. MOther seems decidedly unworldly. Mother looks like a cat-demon in the mirror. They claim the Trans-Am is in the shop. Mother cuts off a rose and puts it in her hair: sweets to the sweet she always says (Gertrude to Ophelia). They go off to the cemetery and they seem to be having a romantic time. Charles goes off to do a rubbing and she takes some photos of him, they roll to the ground and begin to kiss. She begins speaking intimately and pretty soon he starts sucking out her life. She struggles a bit. Soon he's  sucking her life out again. She manages to smash him with the camera. She gets him with the corkscrew. He gets all camp, and this doesn't work at all. The cop sees the Trans Am and finds Tanya and the gory, not blinded Charles. He does away with Andy, but Clovis does quite a job on Charles. Charles leaves Tanya and just barely makes it home in the Trans-Am. Charles is burned by the cat scratches. Mother does what she can, but the gashes seem to have mortally wounded him.  Tanya is questioned by cops (as the cameos goof around). She tells them to develop the photos and they'll see the monster. They head off toward the house. Mother disappears the car. She then makes Charles and herself disappear as well as the cops arrive. When they don't find the pair, people begin to wonder about Tanya's story. Tanya takes a hot bath but she has a visitor, or is it her imagination? Something has left the house. The cops have their heads batted together by mom. She agrees it was not the wind. Horace is somehow corn-cobbed by mom. Cats are making a B-line for Tanya's house. Mom is met by police but she starts breaking arms and biting fingers off. She's also pretty good with a pistol. She heads back to the house with Tanya. The number of cats has multiplied around the house. She drives through the garage and breaks a cat's neck. Charles is quite dead when they arrive. Mother Mother makes Charles body dance with Tanya telekinetically. It seems to have done some good as Charles appears to be alive again. Now the cats are in the house and  the climax ensues.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
