Halloween Page #6

If you could just wrap it up,

that'd be great.

- Thank you.

- What are we hunting?

- Girls, you look so beautiful.

- Little princesses.

- Trick or treat.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Here's some candy.

- Oh, Happy Halloween.

- You, too.

- Bye, you guys.

- Thank you. Bye.

So cute.

I cannot believe you're graduating this year.

I remember when you used

to run around looking like that.

Mom, I was never a princess.

Last thing I was at their age

was dead Little Red Riding Hood.

You were this beautiful ballerina--

No, you bought me the blood

and you gave me the cuts.

"My costume's too tight."

- You don't remember that?

- I never wore a tutu.

You getting many kids?

Only two so far.

Listen...

be careful tonight.

I know.

A lot of nut cases come out on Halloween.

It's, uh--

What was it you told me to say?

- Amateur night.

- Yeah, that's right. Amateur night.

Dad, I'm just going to be babysitting.

- What's the worst thing I could do?

- All right, okay.

- I'm just saying.

- Nice.

- All right.

- Sorry.

- Aah!

- Mom, st--

Hi, Mr. And Mrs. Strode!

- Hey, Annie.

- Hey.

How's your dad?

Oh, you know, same as always.

- You know what that means?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Love you guys!

- Love you, too!

- Bye-bye!

Gonna give me some lovin'?

I'll give you some lovin' later, but first

you're going to talk about the vacation.

I'm going to go build a fire.

Vacation.

I hate vacation. Let's stay home.

Aaahhh!

No! No!

You leave my baby alone, you--

[crack]

Okay, Tommy,

here's your jelly sandwich,

hold the peanut butter.

Good.

You know, if you listened to me

the first time,

you wouldn't had to have made it twice.

- Laurie?

- What?

Is the Boogey Man real?

Why are you so obsessed

with the Boogey Man, Tommy?

- Well, I hear things at school.

- Like what?

Well, I heard that on Halloween night,

the Boogey Man sneaks out

and attacks kids who don't believe.

You know what, Tommy?

It is true.

He likes to eat little boys like you.

Oh, my God!

The Boogey Man's here!

We're going to die!

[Telephone rings]

Hold that thought.

That's not appropriate

babysitter behavior, Laurie.

Hello?

[Laurie]

Shut up.

- My parents will hear about this one.

- Yo, it's me. Hey.

So the Wallaces are finally out of my face.

I just talked to Paul.

He's on his way over.

So I'm finishing making the Queen of Sheba

her popcorn, and then I will be over.

I have some fun and exciting news for you,

so I'll see you in a few minutes.

Okay, bye.

- Guess what, Tommy.

- What?

Lindsey Wallace is coming over.

What? She can't come over here!

- What if the guys see her?

- So?

One, she's a girl.

Two, she's not a boy.

And three, she smells like you.

This is going to be a long night.

For the both of us.

- Don't start with me.

- Uh, uh.

What's the matter with you?

Lindsey... get your coat on.

We're going to go over

and see Tommy Doyal.

Okay.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Yeah, exactly.

I said get your coat on.

We're going over to your late-night lover

Tommy Doyal's house.

No, you didn't.

Yes, I did.

No, you didn't.

Don, I'm sorry if I don't

sound too concerned,

but a dead coyote and a missing headstone

doesn't prove anything.

Well, I think you're wrong, Sheriff.

I think it does prove

that he's here in Haddonfield.

It was a Halloween prank.

Kids pull sh*t like that all the time.

The stone will be returned tomorrow.

And besides, it weighs over half a ton.

That's my point exactly.

So you're saying that one man picked it up

and walked away with it?

Yes.

Doc, I may have been born,

but I wasn't born yesterday.

I'm sorry, Sheriff,

but please listen to me.

This may be a matter of life and death.

All right, I'll tell you what I'll do.

You come by my office tomorrow--

Tomorrow is too late.

Evil is here.

It's walking amongst us.

Doc, it sounds to me like

you're talking about the Antichrist.

Well, perhaps I am.

Smell my feet

Give me something good to eat

If you don't, I don't care

I'll pull down Annie's underwear

I can't believe you're making me

haul this thing all the way over there.

I can't believe you think

I'm not going to tell.

Gonna share some popcorn

with your little boyfriend?

No, I'm not.

You know you are.

You know you're going

to share something with Paul.

You know how annoying you are?

How?

Trick or treat, smell my feet.

Give me something good to eat

- If you don't, I don't care--

- I swear to God, Lindsey.

If you don't stop singing that song,

we're going to have

a pumpkin-smashing party

right here in the middle of the street.

[Doorbell rings]

Tommy, where's your girlfriend Laurie?

Laurie's not my girlfriend.

I hate girls.

Why doesn't anyone understand this?

Good. So does Lindsey.

Go worship your god.

- Hey.

- Brought you a present.

Thanks.

You, my dear, will be happy to know

that I talked to Paul

about his buddy Ben Tramer.

Oh, I thought you said

Ben Tramer was retarded.

Yeah, but he's not

Shortbus retarded or anything.

What? He's okay.

- I mean, you need a boyfriend!

- Annie, I don't need a boyfriend.

- No, that's not what I meant.

- I'm fine.

- You need--

- Okay, Annie--

Oh! Oh! Yes!

Yes, Annie!

Okay, ok--

All right, you're right.

I need a boyfriend.

So, what did he say?

He said, and I quote,

"Dude, she's f***ing hot."

- Really?

- Uh-huh.

[Honks horn]

Oh, f***, that's Paul.

I gotta go.

- Have fun.

- Thanks, I will.

- Bye, sexy.

- Bye.

Hi, baby.

- What's up?

- How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

Good.

You have to stop thinking

that we're dealing with a normal man here.

We're dealing with

a soulless killing machine,

driven by pure animal instinct.

Dr. Loomis, I'm going

to have to level with you.

I read your book.

I know exactly who you are,

and frankly, I don't like you.

And I'll tell you something else.

I think you have created

quite the masterpiece of a monster

off the blood of this town,

because monsters sell books.

Please, just look at this photograph

on the cover of the book.

All right.

I first met Michael 17 years ago.

When I first met him,

he was a sweet, charming little boy.

But he had nothing inside.

There was something missing, a void.

There was no conscience, no reason,

even a rudimentary sense

of life or death, right or wrong.

Yeah. He's come back for her.

And who is her?

He's come back for his baby sister.

I know it in my bones, Sheriff.

To do what?

I don't know, Sheriff, but...

it's not good.

If I break a promise I made a long time ago,

then you must promise that you will play it

razor, and I mean razor, straight with me.

[Telephone rings]

[Mr. Strode, on machine]

Hello. You have reached

the Strode residence.

[Mrs. Strode]

We can't come to the phone right now.

[Mr. Strode]

So please leave a message and have a...

[both]

Happy Halloweenl

[beep]

Yeah, this is Sheriff Brackett. Hello?

If you can hear me, pick up.

Please, if you can hear me,

I need to talk to you immediately.
