Halloweentown High Page #7

But isn't the point

to try and get people to like us?

I'm tired of people being scared of us.

Yeah, you know what?

So am I.

Whoever heard of a haunted house

without buckets of fake blood?

Hello!

- What is that?

- I have a sensitive...

Aggie.

I just want to say

that I expected more of you.

Where did you get this? How...?

I hope that you know that

the men you're trying to emulate.

the men that originally wore those rings.

they were bigoted, hideous.

evil human beings.

And to be honest.

I'm a little surprised that it fits.

Aggie!

Happy Halloween.

It's almost midnight.

Maybe they won't try anything.

No. This is as important to them

as it is to us.

only we have a lot more to lose.

Just be ready.

Oh! Watch your step.

Have fun.

Enjoy yourselves.

OK, that was the worst haunted house

I've ever seen.

The ghosts didn't even go. "boo. "

I know.

"Boo"? How many ghosts

do you know that say "boo"?

People are laughing.

"Dances with Werewolves"?

"The Monster Tea Party"?

There's not even a gross-out factor.

They're eating chocolate-chip cookies!

Can't we at least have mealy worms

crawling out of them?

My mom makes the best

oatmeal mealy worm cookies.

Happy Halloween!

Anyone care to hear about

the positive contributions

trolls have made to society?

Um, welcome to

the Halloween Wax Museum.

See the ogres picnicking

in their natural setting.

Excuse me.

would you like to see the...

Whoa! OK, now.

that was pretty cool.

Yeah. That was the best thing in here.

Seems to me this haunted house

could use a little excitement.

What's goin' on?

OK, don't run. It'll be OK.

Dad, no!

That's OK.

Come with me.

- Ooh.

- What?

Oh, my, let's go.

This is what we've been waiting for.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Krepto fragilius!

Krepto fragilius!

Oh! What did I do?

Krepto fragilius!

Grandma, what's going on?

Oh, my. Oh!

Oh, oh!

Krepto fragilius!

No!

Help! Oh!

- Marnie, Marnie, Marnie!

- Grandma!

What's happening? Why are you

using your magic this way?

No, Cody, it's not what you think.

I thought you said you were the good kind.

I am! I don't know what's wrong!

You have to believe me.

Grandma, it's not working!

Look!

Krepto thundris!

Be gone!

Whoa!

Did you see that?

Did you see what they did?

They tried to destroy us.

No! That's not true...

- You saw it!

- Yeah!

They caused everything!

They are witches and monsters and freaks!

No! We're your friends!

If we don't drive them

back to where they came from.

they will destroy us!

We're trying to help you! Come on. I've

known most of you since the first grade!

- Marnie, it's almost midnight.

- Hey, it's us or them!

Yeah!

Who's it gonna be?!

Them!

Uh... Grandma!

Go get 'em!

Yeah!

Whoo!

You've got to do something. Don't you

know a spell to get us out of here?

I'm afraid the time for spells is over.

I was right!

You are responsible for all of this.

I can't take all the credit.

- Ethan?!

- Marnie.

it seems your little experiment

has come to an end. It's time to pay up.

No! No, you can't take our magic.

Humans have changed.

No one was threatening us

until you showed up.

Well, that's just because they never

got to know the real you.

And now that they do...

you Cromwells don't deserve magic.

Now your magic is mine.

Magicus fixum!

Our magic! Ah!

Marnie!

He... took my magic.

Aggie!

Aggie! Is she hurt?

What do you care? You're the one

who offered her up to an angry mob.

Ethan.

No.

- I'm staying.

- A disappointment right to the very end.

Well, then this is goodbye to all of you.

This doorway linking our two worlds

should never have existed.

And now, with my newfound powers.

I can make sure that it never will again.

No! He can't do that!

Somebody's gotta stop him!

Halloweentown - it's gone!

Yeah!

What is the matter with you people?

Marnie is your friend.

So she's different.

Now that she's lost her magic.

are you gonna like her again?

I kept thinking

that we needed to fit in.

but how do you know if someone

truly cares about you

if you don't show them

who you really are?

OK.

Oh!

I'm really a werewolf.

Sweet!

That is so freaky!

I'm an ogre. With a little bit of

forest giant on my mother's side.

What on Earth?

And I'm a troll.

I'm just going through an awkward stage.

This is all there is.

Sorry.

And these are the people

you want destroyed?

- Sure, they look different, but...

- Yeah, they do.

...are they really

any different on the inside?

I don't know what werewolves

are like inside.

but Pete's the best halfback

we've ever had!

- Natalie's president of the science club.

- Uh, co-president.

You know what?

You were right, Aggie.

This never really fit.

See? Humans really have changed.

Now, has everybody seen everything

that they need to see in the witch's glass?

Ooh. Welcome back.

- Cassie!

- Gwen rescued me!

It took some time, but I finally

found the right witch's glass.

What is going on?

You forgot that witches' glasses.

while excellent for imprisoning witches.

are also good for communicating

between the worlds.

And I believe that all of Halloweentown

just saw that humans have changed.

Which means...

Magico faxum!

You can't do this to me!

I won't let you get away with this!

But we will.

No, no, you don't understand.

I was doing this for the good of

Halloweentown. You see, humans...

Are apparently much more accepting

than you led us to believe.

If they're willing to give us a chance.

then we should be willing to

return the favor.

- We did it.

- No!

- No! I absolutely forbid it!

- Then we'll consider this your resignation.

Let me outta here!

I'll deal with you later!

But right now we still have to

put on the haunted house, right?

Yeah!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Yes!

Yeah!

Come on, guys! Ah!

All right! Whoo! Yeah!

- I'm really sorry I...

- No, no. I'm sorry.

I would have acted the same way

if things were reversed.

I just never met a girl like you before.

We have so much in common.

and I like being with you.

I feel the same way.

No. I'm sorry.

It's just too gross!

- Thank goodness. Friends?

- Friends.

I...

I certainly hope I can convince you

to stay on at the school.

Oh. Well. I don't know.

- We'd have to make a few changes.

- Changes?

Something has to be done

about the athletic department.

I mean, really, who ever heard of

field hockey without flying monkeys?

Mother, have you seen Marnie anywhere?

Oh, sure.

She's just hangin' around somewhere.
