Spooky Buddies Page #5

- You guys go.

- Hurry, we must get to the cemetery.

[weak howling]

Stop in the name of the law!

Time to meet your fate.

- You're under arrest!

- [howling]

What in tarnation do you...

[singing "Monster Mash"]

[giggling]

Oh, there you are, Frank!

You didn't tell me you

left early for the party!

- Uh...

- Come on!

The costume contest is starting

and you're a shoo-in!

- Come on!

- [grunting]

Oh, I love your costume!

You're a wizard, right?

I am a warlock, Madam,

and I'm not wearing a costume!

Now unhand me, you crazy kitty cat!

[shouting]

- [applause]

- [Dan] OK, all right.

OK, all right.

Ladies and gentlemen, please,

a round of applause

for the finalists

for most original costume.

[crowd chattering]

OK, you've got your numbers.

[panting]

[Dan] All right, make a nice,

clean line, please.

Sheriff! Sheriff.

I've really gotta talk to you.

It's really, really important.

In a jiffy, Billy.

I just have to announce the winner,

all right?

But, Sheriff!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the first place winner is...

- ...drum roll, please.

- [drum roll]

The winner is...

...Frank Carroll! Frankendude!

[shouting]

- Move!

- Honey, that's great!

Useless monster!

Must I do everything myself?

Staff! [grunting]

Say "cheese"!

[pained grunting]

- [shouting]

- [crowd gasping]

[shouting]

Heavens to Betsy!

Somebody had a bit too much

spooky punch!

[crowd laughing]

Oh, honey, are you OK?

You know that story about the warlock?

Hypothetically speaking,

could Warwick return to Fernfield

even if it was, like, 75 years ago?

Billy, it's Halloween!

All the scariest monsters

return this time of year.

Give the staff to me, boy!

It belongs to me, Warwick,

the greatest warlock of all time!

I've gotta return that to Sheriff Dan!

What have you done with my book?

Now, sir!

That, my friend, is a party foul!

Unhand that boy!

Enough monkey business!

[grunting]

Monkey business, eh?

- [all] Let's go!

- [Sam] Come on!

Transformius monchius!

[crowd gasping, applauding]

What in tarnation? [chittering]

- [gasping]

- You're under arrest

for insulting an officer of the law!

[chittering]

[all laughing]

[shouting]

No one makes a monkey

out of Sheriff Dan!

- [chittering]

- [applause]

Great trick! Just fabulous!

Thank you! It's good to be loved!

- [hiccuping]

- [crowd laughing]

But it's better to be feared!

[evil laughter]

[Mrs. Carroll] Wow!

That was amazing.

[Janice] That was!

Baby, come over here!

Come on, dance!

# Ghosts and goblins

and green little things

# They're comin' up, comin' up

My, oh my, it's a scream #

Dude, did you get the staff

to Sheriff Dan?

- Sort of.

- Uh, what do you mean?

- Uh...

- [door opening]

- [chittering]

- Hey, that monkey

is dressed like Sheriff Dan.

- That is Sheriff Dan!

- What?

Run kids! He's coming!

[Pete] But, dude, where's Warwick?

There you are!

Does that answer your question?

Uh-huh.

Now, where is that book?

[gasping]

Or do you all want to be

turned into monkeys, too?

No, really, Mister,

we don't know where the book is!

Wrong answer, boy.

Monchius appe...

[screaming]

- Hurry!

- Uh...

Come with me!

Before it's too late! Come on!

Come on.

[groaning]

[engine starting]

They won't get far.

[all panting]

What's the plan now, dudette?

Everyone, look around for Pip's body.

We don't have much time.

Whoa! That's me.

"Pip. Rest in peace.

Most loyal friend of Joseph.

The best pup a boy could ever have."

What do we do now, Zelda?

OK, well, uh, I have to confess.

[nervous laughter]

I've never really returned

a spirit to a body, per se.

But I'll give it a whirl.

Help us, spirits, and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

Help us, spirits, and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

It's working!

Help us, spirits, and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

Whoa, guys, my legs!

I can wiggle my nose!

Wow, guys, I can chase my tail!

I'm back! Whoo!

How can I ever thank you guys?

Watch me run!

Look at me go!

Whoo! Awesome!

Come on, kids.

Hurry! Hurry, hurry!

Quickly, everyone inside!

There they are!

[evil laughter]

I want that book!

[shouting]

You'll be safe here.

Evil like Warwick cannot

enter the house of God.

Well, how come you have a key?

I'm the organist here every Sunday.

Don't worry, kids.

We beat Warwick once,

we can do it again.

This is you, isn't it?

You're the boy from the legend.

That was sure a long time ago.

Well, um, I'm Billy, and this is Alice,

and that's Pete and Bartleby,

and that's Sam.

Joseph. Joseph Johnson.

[sniffing]

[growling]

[all gasping]

This time, there's nowhere to run.

[hooting]

Mr. Hound, I am Zelda.

I am all-knowing and all-seeing.

I specialize in the mystic

and otherworldly.

I believe I can help you

come from the dark

back into the light.

I actually like the darkness.

Now get out of my way.

[shouting]

Oh, no!

- Hoot.

- [grunting]

Go tell that idiot Warwick

I've captured the puppies.

Now, I have a different plan

for you pups.

We're doomed!

For 75 years I held onto this book...

...dreading a full moon

on Halloween night.

It's the only night Warwick could return

to finish the spell.

They have my book!

How do I get my hands on it?

[Billy] Whoa, what's up with this book?

The writing's all trippy.

It's Latin. I learned the language

and studied the book

from cover to cover,

trying to decipher its meaning,

so I could stop Warwick.

So, what's the book say, Mr. Johnson?

Warwick will need three items

to complete the spell tonight

for the evil spirits

of the netherworld to remain here.

The nether-what now?

That's another name

for a place where ghosts live,

usually bad ones.

Halloween is the one night

these spirits can roam free

in our world.

Only the Howlloween Hound

can call them out.

Warwick will use those spirits

to control the townsfolk of Fernfield.

But you said he needs three things,

right?

That's right.

His staff, the spell book...

...and one other thing.

Well, what is it?

The souls of five young puppies

who share the same blood.

Like brothers and sisters?

[all] The Buddies!

- Master!

- [shrieking]

Don't sneak up on me like that!

Hound has captured the five puppies.

Perfect!

Those puppies will come in handy

in more ways than one.

[evil laughter, hiccuping]

[hooting]

[shouting]

Good work, Hound.

Now all I need is my book.

You take these puppies

back to the Manor

and I will meet you there.

[laughter, hiccuping]

Open wide like the jaws of a dragon!

You in there!

I have something you want.

Yo, dawgs, it's that creepy old warlock!

If you want to see your puppies again,

you better bring that book to my Manor!

[laughing]

Oh, no, they've got the Buddies!

Yeah, but what if they're

just trying to trick us?

You really want to take that chance,

dude? I wouldn't.

I told those wretched children

to bring me my spell book.
