R.L. Stine's Monsterville: The Cabinet of Souls Page #2

and outran an avalanche

with a broken snowboard, so...

I wouldn't say I scare easy.

Yeah.

I mean, who hasn't done those things?

I think that you should

definitely come with us.

All right. I'll go.

If you let me take you.

Okay.

In the meantime,

can you point me to the office?

Yes. Yeah, I can take you.

Sweet.

BETH:
Oh! Hold on just a second.

Kel?

Kellen, did you want to

talk to me about something?

Oh, uh, never mind.

Okay. All right.

Hey, maybe we'll see you tomorrow,

too, partner?

BETH:
So, the office is

right over there.

Kel-man. Let's snag a smoothie?

No, I'm good.

LUKE:
Who's that guy?

KELLEN:
Some new kid.

His name's Hunter.

Hmm. It looks like

Hunter's found his prey.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Dude, what happened

to your sense of humor?

(SIGHS)

All right, well, uh,

I'll see you later, right?

Uh, maybe. Maybe?

Snap out of it.

I'll call you tonight.

LILITH:
So.

Who won the dance contest?

Uh, yesterday,

the dance contest?

Um, I won.

I mean, Beth and I won.

Beth.

Is she that really pretty

girl you were dancing with?

Pretty? Mmm-hmm.

Uh, yeah. I guess she's pretty.

I noticed this other guy

who kept checking her out,

a super good-looking guy.

I mean, like,

really good-looking.

I could see his muscles

through his shirt.

Yeah, that would be Hunter.

I think she sort of likes him.

Maybe she's just trying

to make you jealous.

No, Beth's not like that.

She doesn't play games.

(CHUCKLES)

You don't know

much about girls, do you?

Well, if you're right,

I think your Beth is

making the wrong choice.

I'm Lilith, by the way.

Um...

I'm Kellen.

Well, Kellen,

I have to get back to work,

but I hope you come to the show.

(BELL RINGING)

(MAN LAUGHING)

(GROANING)

(GROWLING)

(SCREAMING)

(YELPS) (GROWLING)

Oh, my, gosh, that's...

That's really real.

This place is so awesome.

Do you think they sell churros?

You and your churros, man.

Yo, I like a churro.

Lights up my neuro.

Yo, I got one in my home, yo.

It's in my bureau.

What?

(ALL SCREAMING)

(HISSING)

Hey. Yo, yo, yo,

Nicole, watch out.

Watch out. Watch out.

Hey, back off worm face.

Don't be messing with my lady.

Hey, Kellen. Hey.

NICOLE:
We should go in together.

LUKE:
All right, all right.

Just remember,

it's all special effects and make-up, okay?

Okay. It's not real.

KELLEN:
Hey. Hey.

Hey, everyone.

This is great, huh?

I love all these characters.

Yeah.

BETH:
Ooh, look at that one.

Hey, I'll get the tickets.

Do not feed the zombies.

Beware the ghouls.

Do not look the witches

in the eye.

What are you doing?

Well, you said not to look

the witches in the eye.

Don't worry. I'm not a witch.

I'm an enchantress.

Then I should

definitely look away.

If you can.

Do not feed the zombies.

Beware the ghouls.

Do not look the witches

in the eye.

MAN:
Get a ticket.

Get your hand stamped.

(EERIE SOUNDS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

NICOLE:
Kellen,

I don't want to do this.

BETH:
You're fine.

(GASPS) LUKE:
Oh, my God!

(EERIE LAUGHTER)

(GASPS)

(MOANING)

Take her. Take her.

Quiet down. I'm trying to sleep!

(CACKLING)

Hey, Kellen, I didn't know

your mom worked here.

Could you just cool it?

(RUMBLING)

Honored guests, or should I say,

unfortunate victims.

(CHUCKLES)

I invite you to journey

to Zombie Boulevard.

(LAUGHS)

(SCREAMS)

Jeez.

(NICOLE SCREAMS)

NICOLE:
Kellen, I can't do this!

KELLEN:
You're okay.

Brains on a stick.

Get your brains on a stick.

(GASPS)

And...

ALL:
A...

G...

Z...

B...

Perfect.

(LAUGHING)

ZOMBIE STUDENTS:
A...

G... Z...

B...

(BELL RINGING)

I'll be right back.

Hey. Cool show, right?

Yes, yeah, totally.

Can I talk to you

for a sec? Alone?

I'll just go ahead, okay?

You so don't have to.

You'll catch up.

What's up? Nothing.

I mean, um...

So you and Hunter are...

What?

You're like...

We're like, what?

I don't know.

I mean... (STAMMERING)

I see you guys are,

like, um, holding hands,

and I was...

Kellen, were you watching us

through binoculars or something?

No. It's all good. Okay.

I'm just...

You know, never mind, all right?

Brains? (GASPS)

BETH:
Hello? (HINGES CREAKING)

Where is everybody?

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

Did you leave this door open?

(SOFT GRUNTS)

What if someone saw?

Idiot!

(GRUNTING)

(HISSING)

Get 'em.

Come with me.

What was that?

(SNIFFING)

Fleshy.

Flesh?

(SNIFFING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAM)

Good night.

Join us again soon for more scary fun.

Sleep with one eye open.

(WHIMPERS LOUDLY)

Sweet pumpkin fritter.

That was kind of fun, huh, kids?

Wow.

That felt really real.

Hey, you know when I was crying,

I was just pretending.

I wasn't really crying.

We should find

the bathroom really quick.

That was awesome.

You jumped about seven times.

Mmm-hmm.

You okay?

Me? Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, well, I'm starving, so.

Yeah.

We should get something to eat.

You know, you just go.

I think I'm gonna take off.

Kellen.

Beth's not the only girl

in the world.

Yeah, I know.

I just feel like

going for a walk.

Hey, hey.

Hey, Hunter.

I'm so happy I found you.

(GROANING)

Me, too. Come on.

I just want to get out of here.

FEMALE REPORTER:
Andrea Payton

mysteriously disappeared

from Federson township.

Hi.

Oh, it's you. Uh, I didn't...

Recognize me out of costume?

The real me?

I like to ride around after the show,

just to chill out, you know?

I saw you wandering

around aimlessly,

and I thought one of our

zombies had escaped.

Sorry to disappoint.

You didn't.

Uh...

So what's it like?

Working in the show? I love it.

I was born into it,

but you'd be great in it.

Me? Why not?

Most of our performers

started working with us

when they were about your age,

and, uh, well, I started

when I was a little girl.

Yeah, I just...

I don't think I'm the show business type.

Are you sure?

I've seen your wicked dance moves.

That was all Beth.

You've got charisma.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I'll take you home.

It's not on fire. Get on.

Wrap them around, stud.

Good night.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

BETH:
Kellen!

Hey. Can I talk to you?

You saw the zombie

eat a live rat.

No.

No, I didn't see,

but I heard it.

And the vampire.

I know that I saw that.

Because he was standing

right in front of the mirror.

Come on, Beth.

It's a haunted house.

It's full of trick mirrors.

Well, then, what about

the missing girl?

Andrea Payton went missing from

Federson township the exact same week

the Hall of Horrors was there.

That doesn't prove anything.

What about this?

Have you tried washing this off your hand?

I mean, I took a shower.

Mine will not come off.

So it's strong ink.

Hey. Hey.

So you gonna help us? Us?

Yeah, Beth thinks there's something

weird about the Hall of Horrors.

And let me guess.

You believe her.

We'll see. I just know

I'm here for Beth.

Well, looks like

he's got you covered.

(ALL CHEERING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey.

Dude, where are you?

Nowhere. Just home.

Okay, well, get over here.
