Monster Family Page #2

---

Can't you just be nice to

your brother?

It's the last thing

I feel like doing.

I'm sorry.

- That was totally humiliating,

and it's all your fault.

- It was an accident.

No-one wanted to come on your

stupid family outing.

Well I wanted to study.

You are so ungrateful.

Hey, come on,

don't shout at the kids.

Finally, he wakes up!

Can you to drive us home

before you fall asleep again?

Yeah. I'm just working so hard.

- And I'm not?!

Well, I wouldn't exactly call

making these costumes 'hard work'.

I hate that my daughter

does nothing but insult me.

And I hate that my kids

are always fighting.

And I hate that my husband

just sleeps through it all.

Work it will, my transformation spell.

So very unhappy, you are.

Perceptive, you are.

Help, Baba Yaga will.

Really? How?

- By cursing you.

What? Sorry?

By fire, by light,

by all things bright.

Yeah. Now, dear, don't

you have a cat somewhere...

...that needs feeding?

Or something?

Great, now it's gonna be raining.

By day, by night...

I really think we're witnessing

actual magic.

That's impossible.

- Do you have another explanation?

Not really.

You will be transformed tonight!

Why won't they come off?

Hold on, I'll help you.

Get off!

Not the nicest way to treat

your brother.

Max?

I'm hairy.

All over.

Dad?

Oh, that's dad.

What have you done

to my family?

Opala. Actually, I only wanted

to transform you.

If everyone is transformed,

then everyone must be unhappy.

I'm transformed?

- See for yourself.

I'm an ugly old witch!

No, that's me.

You've now become

a reflectionless vampire.

I'm a, I'm a vampire?

Yes.

Disappear, pronto!

Where did she go?

Some time, this might take.

Come back here.

Disappear, pronto!

Curse it.

Amulet not fully charged.

Okay, Emma, last year

you went to the gym...

...twice!

Wow, it really paid off.

I'm coming,

you old witch!

Baba Yaga, you won't catch.

Oh, really? How do you know?

In tea leaves,

I have read.

Must have been a typo.

He-he, capture yourself, you have.

Just practising for when

I catch you.

Out of way!

Move, stupid birds!

Watch your step!

Who leaves their laundry out this late?

Disappear, pronto!

We really need to talk flossing.

Get back here!

Disappear, pronto!

Disappear, pronto!

Unhappy woman

not giving up.

So how's that disappearing spell

working for you?

Big, big power needed

for big, big magic.

Amulet must recharge at place

of great spiritual energy.

Oh, great. We'll come with you and

you can transform us back.

Sorry, sweetie.

Alone I travel

...to Oculus Londra

Ocula what?

Oculus Londra.

Not only is this not my day...

...it is also not my night.

Not Londra, this is.

Never working,

this piece of rubbish.

Useless, you are.

Still long way to travel.

Where are the kids?

Uffta.

What?

- Uffta.

Frank, you still know who I am,

don't you?

Uffta.

No, I'm Emma.

Memma?

- Yes. Your wife.

Uffta?

Good to see that something

hasn't changed.

I think I might be in with a

real chance here. Mustn't blow it.

Renfield!

Go and pack my things...

...I'm going to meet my future bride.

Very funny.

He passes Kobe Bryant...

...leaves LeBron James in the dust.

And he scores! Yeah!

Don't eat me.

I've just had chilli

I'll go right through you.

Help me!

Not so nice being scared, is it?

You, you can speak?

Nothing gets past you, genius.

No. No, my trousers...

No...

It's me, Fay.

Who?

- Flamm?

That costume really isn't the look

we're going for...

...in the music video.

- It's not a costume.

I'm a mummy.

Some crazy witch has cursed

my whole family.

Okay, someone's had way too

much Halloween candy.

Here, touch me.

See for yourself.

Wow, that's so...

You're so... mouldy.

You've got to help me.

You know I would but

I've got like a ton of homework.

You think I'm disgusting,

don't you?

No. You're great.

You're the best looking decaying corpse

I've ever seen.

Yeah, well, you're not

so hot either.

Fay?

Max?!

Are you here?

Careful. Watch, watch your...

...head.

- Moobid ming.

You really don't wanna break that,

it was a present from your mother.

I always thought it was ugly anyway.

Mum? Dad? Is that you?

Mummy!

Oh, Max.

Okay, that's new.

Fay, are you okay...

...sweetie?

Don't you dare "sweetie" me.

This is all your fault!

- What?

If you hadn't made us wear these stupid

costumes, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Look, we're gonna find the witch...

...and I'll make her change us back.

I promise.

And how are you gonna do that?

Look her up online?

She said she was going to somewhere

called Oculus Londra.

Ocula whatnow?

- Yes, that's just what I said.

Oculus Londra means

London Eye.

That's a big Ferris Wheel in London.

So the witch wants to go

on a Ferris Wheel?

I've read at school that the London Eye is

built on an ancient magical site.

The witch must be going there to

recharge her powers.

So we're going to London?

Moliday.

Oh, this is no way Londra.

Disappear, pronto!

That is some serious

spiritual reshaping.

Tell me about it.

I just coughed up

a fur ball.

Thanks for taking us to the airport, Cheyenne.

- No problem.

Life is a journey and I like

to travel in style.

I'm really glad

dogs are colour blind.

Five, four, three...

This is not Londra.

Disappear, pronto!

Fay, we will find the witch,

I promise

It's not just that.

Finally a boy thought

I was pretty and now...

...he can't even look at me.

- Beauty doesn't last.

It doesn't matter what anyone

else thinks, Fay.

You have to know yourself

how special you are.

You don't need other people

to tell you.

I remember feeling like that.

Never mind.

I'm gonna get you there.

Here we go!

Mind out!

Off we go.

- No, stop.

What are you doing?

- You can't go out there.

It's daylight.

- So? - You're a vampire.

You'll burn up.

- But I've got to get on that plane.

Well, there are legends

that say vampires with souls...

...might be able to survive

contact with the sun.

Well, great. Let's go.

But they're only legends.

Who knows if they're true?

Well, I guess there's only

one way to find out.

No, Mum, don't!

Oh...

Well, I guess that answers

that question.

Thank you, magnificent sun, for not

burning my dear friend to a crisp.

Mum? What if I said I might

not want to be changed back?

I like people being scared of me.

- Oh, darling, I know what you mean.

Are you nuts? I look like a 3,000 year

old meatloaf and dad is a...

...gigantic farting idiot!

Okay, that's not so new.

- Fay!

I'm just saying, if you two

back out now...

...it's totally unfair!

Nobody is backing out.

Max, right now you think it's great that

people are scared of you.

But scary people are lonely because

nobody wants to be around them.

Which fortune cookie did you read that in?

- Quiet, Fay.

Everyone act naturally.

How can I...

...be of assistance?

- Go on.

Hello.

Five tickets to London, please.

Actually, that's four people

and a dog.
