Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend?

Nice!

Looks just like your mom.

Hmm.

I was thinking more along the

lines of your brother Mike.

Or, it could be you

before your morning coffee.

Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, speaking of which,

you want a refill?

Sure, thank you.

What's up, Dad?

Hey.

I'm going to Art's for

a four-on-four hoop sesh.

Mind if I take the car?

No, go ahead.

Yes! Thanks.

Bye, hon.

Oh, hey, Grandma's coming!

Hey, and...

Fill up the tank this time.

Please!

Hey, where's Max?

I thought he was all into

this Halloweeny stuff.

He is. But tonight's his

turn to walk Buster.

Oh.

Good.

You're such a good dog.

Come on.

Oh, come on, Buster.

You do this every time!

There's nothing to be afraid

of in an old cemetery.

All right.

Maybe it is a little scary.

But look, nothing's

gonna hurt us.

I'm still wearing

the magic ring.

This baby is like

kryptonite to ghouls.

Even Phears, if he

even still exists,

is afraid of this bad boy.

Now, can we get out of here and go home?

That brat, Max Doyle!

Still hiding Nicky

and Tara Roland from me.

Well, it won't be for long!

Emma Twitchel,

star of The Moscow Circus.

Come forward!

Forward!

I command it!

Ah!

Emma!

It's nice to see you,

kind of.

Your father and I used to

play together as children.

Ah! Memories.

I have called you,

the great Emma Twitchel,

the biggest star of The

Moscow Circus... Yes.

...back from your sleep...

Yes.

...to perform a sacred duty.

Ooh! All right.

You can never find good help.

Now, pay attention.

I am Phears,

the most powerful,

dark spirit in existence.

I command all the spirits laid

to rest in this cemetery.

Even you.

You understand?

Yes!

Yes, I very much understand!

Of course you do.

Now, listen carefully.

Several years ago,

a research parapsychologist

by the name of Michael Roland

came across an urn of ashes

which contained the

remnants of, well, me.

It was left there for

him in his laboratory.

Thinking that it might be just

another artifact for his collection,

he decided he would examine it more

closely later and placed it on a shelf.

He, of course, had no

idea at all of the power

he held in his two little hands.

And through his own carelessness, he

released me back into this world.

It gave me an opportunity

to achieve my ultimate goal,

create an army of the dead.

An army that would do my bidding...

And possess the bodies

of the living

so that I would

ultimately become

the most powerful

force on Earth.

Even among the living.

This plan is no good.

What?

Souls, when they die, they

want to go to afterlife.

They want to see their

parents, their relatives.

They don't want

to linger with you!

What fun is that?

Fun?

We're not talking about fun!

We're talking about

the power to create

a new breed of

ghost among the living.

It's a completely different...

No!

This plan is...

How you say...

Bonkers!

Well, it's not up to you to

prove I'm bonkers, so...

I mean, you have

no choice but to obey me!

And that's what I thought about

Michael and Michelle Roland.

But they discovered my plans.

So, Roland created a ring

and a magic spell

that could fight off my ghosts and

keep me trapped here in this cemetery.

Ugh.

So, I decided to

make them more like us,

ghosts.

That way, they could never

interfere with my plans again.

The two little Rolands got away

and as long as they were free,

I couldn't get the parents to

tell me where they hid the ring!

When Max Doyle's family

moved into the Roland house

my cat Mauler was stuck there,

lost without me, his master.

And to top it off,

that snotty little

Max recovered the ring

and now uses it to

protect those kids!

That brat, Max,

foiled my plans before,

but this time I know his secret.

It's that ring he

wears on his right hand.

I've got to get that

ring off his finger

so I can snatch those kids!

Otherwise, my plan is useless.

What this have to do with Emma?

Oh, don't you get it?

Max Doyle is keeping your spirit

from moving on to

see your loved ones.

How dare he?

That evil boy!

Exactly.

So, I'm going to give

Max a little present.

Something that will make

him all warm and cuddly.

Ah!

A sweater!

No, not a sweater.

You!

You're going to climb inside

Max as a berserker ghoul.

Oh, the very sound of it

makes me all tingly.

You're going to

inhabit his body.

Get him into trouble with his

school and with his parents.

And then get that

ring off his finger!

Once he is powerless,

I can snatch the two Roland

brats and we'll both be free!

It's a good plan.

This goes in the first room.

Aw!

Look how cute he is.

Why, Cammy, I didn't

know you felt that way.

Oh! Oh, uh...

I was talking about the dog.

I knew that!

Hey, Cam my.

I was thinking maybe we could work

on our science midterm together?

Oh...

Yeah, I don't know, Max.

It's just that I'm so busy with,

you know, the haunted

house and stuff.

But it's on Halloween,

so you should come by.

Um, it will be really scary.

I'm not scared of anything.

My best friends are ghosts.

I mean, my best friends

are totally into ghosts.

Movies and video

games and stuff.

If it's got ghosts,

they love it.

Me too.

Yeah. So, like I said,

you should come by.

Urn...

I'll show you around.

It's a date.

Just an expression!

Figure of speech!

Nailed it.

Max, where have you been?

I was just talking to a girl.

Who?

Cammy Cahill.

Whoa! Nice!

Guys, we don't

have time for this.

It's been almost a year

since we lost Mom and Dad.

I think I have a shot with her if

she could just see the real me.

I just want her to

think I'm normal

so I can be her

date for Halloween.

Max, you don't have time to make

people think you're normal.

You need to be helping us

find our parents. Yeah.

I have a life, you know.

Okay, that was rude.

I'm sorry.

We'll see you upstairs.

That never gets old.

Come on.

Mom! Dad!

I'm home!

Grandma!

So good to see you. Look

how big you've gotten...

When you walked in I thought you were

an adult in a Max Halloween costume.

Hi, cousin Shelly.

Hey.

Oh...

We can only stay

just a little bit,

but I have enough

time to go like this...

Grandma!

I'm too old for that.

"Never too old to be

pinched" is a Grandma law!

So, how's school?

It's weird.

What do you mean, "weird"?

You seeing anybody?

Seeing?

You mean, like ghosts?

Like a girl.

Like a girl!

Just getting in

the Halloween spirit.

Oh, and, um, speaking of school,

Chester called and apparently the

PE test is on again for tomorrow.

Oh, great!

And I thought Friday would

be an easy day at school.

Oh, come on, Max.

It's no big deal!

Hey, PE is fun.

It helps with your coordination,

your concentration...

Besides, it builds your

body up for the babes.

Yeah, but it's

the stupid rope-climb test.

I can't even get

started on that thing.

I always fail.

Oh, and gym is graded!

It will totally

dunk my whole GPA.

Well, it will if you go

in with that attitude.

Hey, come on, Son.

You got to think like a winner.
