Synopsis:
Kathy George and Shade travel toward Dallas where Duane Trilby has become the host for American Scream. Trilby is obsessed with the Kennedy assassination. The Scream drives him mad and manifestations from the assassination are brought to life. A car resembling Kennedy's appears near Dealy Plaza. Kennedy is in the back seat repeatedly being shot. A traffic cop is driven mad by the scene.
Finally, Shade reaches Dallas and is confronted by a giant Kennedy head. He saves Kathy from it, then tracks Trilby to a nearby building. Energy escapes from the man and engulfs Shade. He and Kathy then find themselves in the roles of JFK and Jackie on the precipice of assassination.
