through Aggie's house...

Right, and you were picking your nose.

And you couldn't find

the second spell book.

Right, so I was trying to get

Grandma to think of something else,

some other way to break the spell.

No, but you didn't say spell.

You said something else.

So?

So maybe whatever you said

undid the spell.

I would've had to be talking backwards

to undo the spell.

Maybe it was in there

backwards somehow.

OK. Um...

I think I called it a trap. Uh...

Something to get us out of this trap.

All right, why don't you

just say it all again?

OK, it was something like,

something to get us out of this trap.

A spell or a charm.

This trap.

A spell... or a...

You didn't say "charm," I know that.

Something backwards. Uh...

Trap, no.

Spell or a... no.

Wait, wait.

Here, trapa.

- Trapa?

- Yeah, it's "apart" backwards.

So?

So, does every spell have to be long?

No. Some spells are short.

- Then say this like a spell.

- But it's one word.

- Will you just try it?

- Fine.

Apart.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

This place is very, very messy.

All right, now say it backwards.

Uh...

Trapa?

That was awful.

I wanted to... clean.

- Try it again.

- OK.

Apart.

- Oh, my. Oh, my.

- (Both chuckle)

Does anyone have a, uh...

a dustpan perhaps?

Trapa.

Will you stop doing that?

You were right. We figured out

how to break the Gray Spell,

and now we can get our full powers back.

How much time do we have left

before the portal closes?

15 minutes.

Oh, my gosh, Mom doesn't

know about the Creature Spell.

What if she's still wearing that mask?

We have to get back to the present

before we can warn her.

Right. Uh...

Where's the time-travel spell?

What do you mean?

You had it.

Right, well, I put it

over there on that table

when I had to dig through the garbage.

Oh...

You shouldn't have done that.

Uh...

Why not?

What happened to it?

It's lost.

Well, that's OK, right, because

things that get lost end up here.

Everything that's lost

other places ends up here.

But things that are lost here go poof.

- Poof?

- Poof.

Gone... forever.

Poof.

Please tell me that you

remember the spell.

It was Welsh.

I could barely read it.

So we're stuck here?

We can't be stuck here.

OK, OK, all right.

Let me think.

(reciting spell)

(growls)

Uh...

No, that's not it.

Excuse me.

And as for you, Dylan,

I would've expected you to be more...

Hey, I brought you guys some cookies.

- Everything all right?

- Um, yeah, just peachy.

- Where's Cal?

- Sophie?

Oh, he's around here somewhere.

Your daughter stood him up. I'm afraid

he's a little bit hurt, poor fella.

Why did you pick that costume?

OK, guys, I think it's time

that you were running.

'Cause the funny thing

is, I just saw this

seventh grader dressed

up as a big fly.

- A fly.

- Dylan.

A big black one with

feelers and fuzzy legs.

Mm.

I can even show you what he looked like.

Sweetheart, not here.

(buzzing)

Sophie, you know that you're not allowed

to do magic around strangers.

Mommy, look.

Alex?

Are you all right?

Oh, that's not normal.

(gulps)

Oh, that was very good.

You're not human.

Ha.

Nobody's perfect.

You... you... you... you golem.

(recites spell)

Does anybody know

where we can find a swamp?

Ohh, he was so perfect.

Except for the being-made-of-frogs part.

I'm really sorry, you guys.

You came here to warn me, but Marnie...

Marnie... where is she?

She was in Halloweentown

last time she called.

She and Grandma were having trouble

getting through the portal

because of Cal's spell.

It's almost midnight.

How did you talk to her?

The head phone.

Marnie?

Marnie, can you hear me?

The party you are trying to reach

is currently out of this dimension.

If you'd like to leave a message.

Your party will receive it

in approximately 400 years.

400 years?

Pooh bear thenatos 23 skidoo.

Will you just stop saying that one?

- I can't remember the spell.

- You have to.

This is stupid.

Why don't we just use my timeline?

- Your what?

- My timeline.

Some wizard must've lost it.

- Come on, I keep it in the closet.

- Timeline?

Wow, how does it work?

The timelines tell us what year it is

in the mortal world.

The past is one direction,

future is the other.

You know, that looks just like

a Stephen Hawking description

- of a non-stellar black hole.

- And your point is?

Theoretically,

black holes can accelerate time.

And that would help us how?

Just follow the fastest-moving timeline.

Now get out of here.

Gort, I'm a goblin.

Theoretically, I can't fly.

Oh, yes, you can.

- What's that?

- This...

is my new-and-improved broom.

- Grandma gave it to me.

- Wow.

Cool, huh?

Come on, get on.

Could you lower it a little?

Well, come on, just swing your leg over.

I'm a little afraid of flying.

- Oh, do you wanna stay here?

- No.

Thought so.

Whoa, whoa.

Just hold on a minute.

Thanks, Gort.

We are out of here!

(Gort) Goodbye and good riddance.

Watch out, watch out.

(Sophie) We've looked everywhere, Mom.

(Dylan) I didn't see

that Cal guy anywhere.

Do you think he's wearing a mask?

(Gwen) I don't know. You guys go

hang out over by the refreshment table.

Now, if you see him, don't do anything.

Just come and get me.

And whatever he's planning,

it is up to us to stop him.

I'm gonna wear my mask.

He knows me.

"The Creature Spell."

And so the fun begins.

- Any luck?

- No.

- He's here somewhere. I can feel it.

- So can I.

We've gotta find him and get the

portal open before midnigh...

The witchin' hour.

Everyone, count down with me.

Here we go. 60...

Find him.

We're never gonna make it.

The portal closes in just a few minutes,

and we're only in the 1600s.

Hey, I think we should try to go

into that black hole over there.

57, 56...

This magic spell will transform

any human you choose

into the creature they pretend to be,

and I choose all of you.

47, 46, 45,

44, 43, 42,

41, 40, 39...

(recites spell)

35, 34, 33,

32, 31, 30,

29, 28, 27, 26...

Now... where was I?

Oh, oh, oh...

(partygoers counting down)

- What is that?

- The portal.

- Mommy.

- Sophie, honey, my mask won't come off.

Try and pull it.

By wind, by rain, by fire, by Earth,

with this spell, I will avenge

their cruel jokes at our expense.

And what if this black-hole theory,

let's say, doesn't work?

Whoa.

- (Marnie) Whoa!

- Aah!

Hurry.

It's almost midnight.

Grandma...

You can do it.

Trapa.

Oh.

Oh, yes.

Grandma, we have to

go back to the mortal world.

Yes... yes.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah.

(both) From Halloweentown

depart we now,

on this, the night, All Hallow's Eve,

back into the mortal world.

Through the portal, we take our leave!

No!

It's closing.

It can't close now, it can't!

Mama. No!

- Pull from the top.

- I'm trying.

Mom!

3, 2, 1!

- Oh.

- (Luke) It's too late.

Oh, yeah.

OK, OK, everyone.

Now, before we tell the winners

of the costume contest,

it's time for the great unmasking...
