I'm not very good with pain,

Oh, now, now,

Don't worry, you won't feel a thing,

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

(squishing sounds)

Wow, doc,

That didn't hurt at all,

Well, after all, I am the tooth fairy,

Vampire's fang, yes!

- There she is, Come on,

- I got it, I got it!

(tires screeching)

Say there, if it ain't the Cromwell kids,

I hear your mother's in town,

Um, well, yeah, she just, uh,

she's hanging out with our grandma,

We just came to do a little shopping,

but we're done now, OK? So, bye,

Hey, I got a fare up that way anyway,

Why don't you let me give you a lift?

On the house,

Hey, that'd be great, Thanks,

- What is it, Sophie?

- The bad thing is in him,

- What?

- Little kids, What an imagination, huh?

Come on, get in,

I gotta go,

- Wait, who told you our mom was here?

- Hey, what's with the third degree here?

- Get in the cab!

- (screams)

Hey, let him go,

Help me, Get me out of here,

Let me go,

Let him go,

Let him go, you bonehead, Stop,

Come on, you little Cromwell punk,

You think you're so smart!

Fetch the bone,

(screams)

Not the dog!

(barking)

- Thanks, Soph,

- Come on, let's get going,

All right, here it is, Vampire fang,

ghost sweat, werewolf hair a la mode,

Here,

- What are you waiting for?

- I can't remember Grandma's spell,

What do you mean, you can't remember?

It was Old English or Welsh or something,

I mean, give me a break,

I have trouble remembering agua.

I thought you said you're a witch, The least

you can do is remember a dumb spell,

OK, OK,

Uh,,,

"Betty March, Betty Gunther,

Betty, uh, Guggenheim, is all that's bid?"

OK, um,,,

"Better march, better get there,

better get going before

there's no more beds,"

That's the best you can do?

Why didn't you write it down or,,,?

Bet y March, bet y Guythur,

bet y Gugaun...

What is it, Soph?

Bet y March, bet y Guythur,

bet y Gugaun,

Cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

That's it!

How did you remember it, Soph?

It sounded pretty,

so I made up a song for it,

Bet y March, bet y Guythur...

I like to make up songs,

You know, Grandma says

that spells are stronger

when you have more than one witch,

You wanna help me?

- OK,

- OK,

(both) Bet y March, bet y Guythur,

bet y Gugaun, Cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

- Oh, drat,

- Great, it's not working, Now what?

Um, let's see,

(sighs)

Grandma says that spells are simple,

That you just have to want it

and then let yourself have it,

OK, let's do it,

(both) Bet y March, bet y Guythur,

bet y Gugaun, Cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

You did it, you guys, It's lit,

I did it! We did it,

We're witches,

You can celebrate later,

Come on, let's get out of here,

- Keep the door open,

- Duh,

Are they gonna be OK?

I think so,

I can hear her heart beating,

Grandma, too,

(rumbling)

It's the bad thing,

Work, you dumb thing, work,

Why isn't it working?

I don't know,

Grandma said something

about installing it,

What? Installing it?

Installing it where?

Mortal see, mortal do,

What?

Remember what Grandma said about

our traditions being an imitation of theirs?

What about it?

Well, when it's dark on Halloween,

where do you put the candle? Come on,

You can't be serious, You're not

actually thinking of going into that thing,

I have to, It's the only way

to save Mom and Grandma,

But what are we gonna do?

Stay here,

And wish me luck,

Good luck, Marnie,

Good luck,

- Marnie, it's a trap, He's waiting for you,

- Out of my way, Luke,

Look, about what happened earlier,

I didn't know he was gonna do that

to your mom and grandma,

Save your tricks, twerp, OK?

I'm busy,

No, I swear,

He said all he wanted was the talisman

and that he'd let your grandma go,

I said get out of my way,

He's coming,

My fellow creatures,

your moment of destiny has arrived,

I offer you the chance

to return to our days of glory,

to end this exile from the Mortal World,

which the humans have stolen from us,

Follow me,

my fellow citizens of Halloweentown,

Too long have we been exiled

to this second-class world,

Forced to live here in this Halloweentown,

I've got to install this thing

before it's too late,

No, he'll see you,

You'll end up just like the others,

,,, to our true natures,

to celebrate the evil within us,

to reveal ourselves as we really are,

Calabar?

(Calabar laughing)

I can't believe Mom dated that guy,

Follow me,

and together we will reclaim

the Mortal World which is rightfully ours,

- You knew?

- Look, I made an awful mistake,

So let me try and make up for it,

It's our only chance,

But before we can be sure of success,

we must find the one who would stop us,

The one who is half human,

Oh, young Cromwell,

you thought you could hide from me?

Stop,

Give me the talisman,

I said stop!

Give me the talisman!

How dare you disobey me?

(crowd screaming)

Fooled ya,

No!

(groaning)

He got her and it's not working,

We've lost,,, Ow!

You see, my friends?

The power of evil is stronger than good,

Join me,

Join me,

(Gwen) You are not a witch.

(Marnie) Oh, yes, I am, no thanks to you...

There's nothing special about me.

(Aggie) Oh no, dear.

You're very special. You're a Cromwwell.

Magic is really very simple.

All you have to do is want something

and then let yourself have it.

(Marnie) Believe.

It's working!

- Gwen,

- Mother,

Gwen, the children,

(crowd cheering)

(grunting)

- You did it,

- Guys!

Good going, Looks like you got

more than the weird part down,

Ah! Mom!

Oh, thank goodness,

- Grandma,

- Oh!

Oh, thank goodness you're OK,

Oh, you've got all the power

of the Cromwells

and twice the guts,

- Grandma, it was,,, it was Calabar,

- What?

So, it was you,

Why, Calabar?

You could've had me,

the most powerful warlock of all,

You could have ruled with me

as my queen,

but you chose a human instead,

Well, it turns out she was

a pretty good judge of character,

Your days of rule are at an end, Calabar,

Do not underestimate me, Agatha,

Now my darkness will spread unchecked

and I will be ruler of both worlds!

(laughs)

Dictu jubentis vivida...

(both) upitidas...

Repelle, quod cupidinis

ciente vi nos impetit!

Don't waste your energies, witches,

Your precious talisman is nothing more,,,

Man, that jerk, I'd like to,,,

I'd like to,,,

(Calabar laughing)

- Dylan!

- What?

Looks like we just added

another witch to the family,

Or should I say warlock?

(Calabar),,, like a dark shadow over,,,

No way, I don't have any powers,

I'm the normal one in this family,

Hey, Chocolate Bar, you better give

that talisman back or you're in big trouble,

You half-human brat,

Do you think that your magic

is any match for mine?

Hm, no,

But let's see if my powers and my mom's

and my grandmother's and my sister's

and my brother's might do it,

Hit it, guys,

(all humming)

Silly witches,

You Cromwells have failed,

Come on, Dylan, we need you,

Believe,

(all continue humming)

No, No!

(screams) No!

Oh,,,

The talisman!

Oh! Ooh!

You did a fabulous job, all of you,

I'm so proud of you,
