Halloween Page #3

He was watching me.

- Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie, Mr. Riddle is 87.

He can still watch.

- That's probably all he can do.

What's the pumkin for? - I brought it for Tommy. I figured

carving a Jack-O-Lantern would keep him occupied.

I always said you'd make a fabulous girl scout.

- Thanks.

And for that matter,

I might as well be a girl scout myself tonight.

I plan on making popcorn

and watching Doctor Demensia.

Six straight hours of horror movies.

Little Lindsey Wallace won't know what hit her.

My dad!

Get rid of this.

Laurie, stop caughing. What's the matter with you?

Just be natural. There he is. Just be natural, Laurie.

Hi, Annie, Laurie ...

Hi, dad.

What happened?

- What? - What happened?

Somebody broke into the hardware store. Probably kids.

You blame everything on kids.

What all they took was some Halloween masks, a rope

and a couple of knives. Who do you think it was?

It's hard growing up with a cynical father.

Aren't you gonna be late ...

- Huh?

I said aren't you gonna be late.

- He shouts too.

Bye girls.

Bye dad.

- Bye.

Sheriff.

Pardon me, I'm a Loomis. Dr. Sam Loomis.

Lee Brackett.

- I, I'd like to have a word with you if I could.

Ah, maybe a few minutes. I gotta take that ...

- It's just important.

Ten minutes.

- I'll be here.

What's the matter with you?

I think he knew. I'm sure he could smell it.

No, he didn't.

- He did.

See the look on his face?

He always looks like that.

What you gonna wear on dance tommorow night?

I didn't know you thought about things like that, Laurie.

You know you could ask somebody.

- No, I couldn't.

Sure you could.

All you have to do is go up to somebody and say ...

You wanna go to the dance?

You could do that, I couldn't.

Or you could ask Dick Paxter.

He could go out with ya.

I tried to get out Ben Tramor.

Ben Tramor?

I knew it!

See, you do think about things like that, huh, Laurie?

Shut up.

- He is cute.

Ben Tramor.

Ok.

Bye.

Trick or treat, trick or treat-

give me something good to eat.

Trick or treat, trick or treat-

give me something good to eat.

Trick or treat, trick or treat-

give me something good to eat.

Hi. - Hi Annie, come on in.

- How are you doing today? - Fine. How are you?

What time are you in your bed?

- I'm being in bed by nine, ok.

Have a good night, dear.

- Be a good girl.

Bye bye.

- Here.

Does anybody lives here?

- No, not since 1963 when that happened.

Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.

- They may be right.

Look.

- What?

What is that?

It's a dog.

Still warm.

He got hungry.

Could have been a skunk.

Could have.

A man wouldn't do that.

This is not a man.

It happened in here.

She was sitting right here ...

He could have seen her thru this window.

Standing on the lawn.

He could have seen inside.

You must think of me ...

the very sinister doctor.

I do have a permit.

Seems to me you're just plain scared.

Yes.

Yeah, I'm a...

I met him ... fifteen years ago.

I was told there was nothing left.

No reason ...

nowhere conscience, no understanding

in even the most rudimentary sense, of life or death of ...

good or evil, right or wrong.

I met this ...

six year-old child with his ...

blank, pale, emotionless face, and ...

the blackest eyes ...

the Devil's eyes.

I spent eight years trying to reach him ...

and then another seven trying to keep him locked up,

because I realized that

what was living behind that boy's eyes

was purely and simply ...

evil.

What do we do?

He's been here once tonight.

I think, he'll come back.

I'm gonna wait for him.

I still think I should notify the radio and television.

- No.

If you do that, they'll see him on every street corner, they

look for him on every house.

Just tell your men to keep their ...

mouth shut and their eyes open.

I'll check back in an hour.

... 'how now,' cried Arthur.

'Let no one pass this way without a fight!'

'That's so,' said the knight

in a bold and haughty manner.

I don't like that story.

- I thought king Arthur was your favorite.

Not anymore.

Why you keep them under there?

Mom doesn't like me to have them.

'Laser Man' ...

'Neutron Man' ... I can understand why.

'Tarantula Man' ...

Laurie ...

what's the Boogeyman?

Doyle residence.

It's me ...

- Hi Annie, what are you doing?

Making popcorn ...

Having fun ...

Never mind, I'm sure you are.

I have big, big news for you ...

Hold on a minute.

Hi Lester.

I'm about to be ripped apart by the family dog.

Lindsey ... get this dog out of the kitchen right now.

I hate that dog ...

I'm the only person in the world he doesn't like.

So, what is this big, big news?

What would you say if I told you that you were going

to the Homecoming Dance tomorrow night?

I would probably say you've got the wrong number.

Well ...

I just talked with Ben Tramer and he got real excited

when I told him how attracted you were to him.

Oh, Annie ...

Oh, you didn't. Please tell me you didn't.

How could you do that?

I mean how you just call him.

What do you mean it's easy?

I can't believe this.

I can't tell you anything.

Please tell me you didn't.

Oh, you didn't.

Laurie ... - I'm so embarrassed, I couldn't even face him.

- Boogeyman is outside.

Laurie ... out there.

- Hold on.

Laurie, the boogeyman is outside. Look!

Tommy, there is nobody outside.

Go watch TV.

It's just Tommy.

Oh, please, Annie ...

How could you do that?

Look it's simple. You like him, he likes you.

All you need is a little push.

It won't hurt you to go out with him, for God's sake.

Sh*t!

No, no, I just made a mess on myself.

I gotta call you back.

Oh, yuck!

Lindsey ...

I need a robe.

Lindsey ...

Lester's barking again and getting on my nerves again.

Never mind ...

I guess he found a hot date.

What about the Jack-O-Lantern?

- After the movie.

What about the rest of my comic books?

- After the Jack-O-Lantern.

What about the boogeyman?

There is no such thing.

Richie said he was coming after me tonight.

Do you believe everything that Richie tells you?

No.

Tommy, Halloween night ...

it's when people play tricks on each other.

It's all make believe.

I think Richie was just trying to scare you.

I saw the boogeyman.

I saw him outside.

There was nobody outside.

There was.

- What did he look like?

The boogyeman!

We're not getting anywhere.

All right.

The boogyeman can only come out

on Halloween night, right?

Right.

Welll, I'm here tonight.

I'm not about to let anything happen to you.

Promise?

Promise.

Can we make the Jack-O-Lantern now?

Let's go.

Hmm, terrific.

Hello?

Who's there?

Paul, is this one of your cheap pranks?

Guess not.

No tricks for Annie tonight.

Lindsey!

Lindsey, come out here!

Lindsey, I'm in the laundry room! The door won't open!

Spread out everybody.

We gonna try to figure out the shape of this thing.

Holly cat.

Hey.

- Yeah.

Almost perfect.

What's wrong?

We finally got one.

- We found a plain sourcer.

Oh, Lindsey, get the phone, it's Paul.
