HUNDREDS OF SOME OF THE THINGS

THAT YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER OR

JUST THE GENERAL FEELING OF NO BEING TREATED THE SAME.

>> I FEEL DISGUSTED.

HE'S JUST NOT WHAT I WANTED HIM

TO BE.

I MEAN, HE LOOKS OKAY.

IT'S PASSABLE.

BUT NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR HIM.

>> HE'S TRYING TO MAKE UP ALMOS FOR LOST TIME, AND IT'S HIS WAY

OF RECLAIMING ALL THOSE

CELEBRATIONS THAT HE MISSED.

IT'S LIKE JAMMING THEM INTO ONE

HOLIDAY, SO...

>> LESS THAN 48 HOURS, WE'LL BE

OPEN.

IF I CAN PULL IT OFF, IT'LL BE

WORTH IT.

>> EVERY OCTOBER, WE HAVE A GOOD

WINDSTORM.

AND JUST AS BAD.

LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY BAD.

IT BLEW EVERYTHING.

KNOCKED DOWN MOST OF MY STONES.

THIS ONE WAS ELECTRONIC.

AW, SHUCKS.

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA BE ABLE

TO SAVE THIS ONE.

HAVE TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND

ANOTHER ONE.

IT'S A LOSING BATTLE, IT SEEMS.

I'M NOT ALWAYS FEELING 100%.

LATELY, IT'S BEEN ARTHRITIS.

I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE AMBITION

SOME DAYS.

IT'S TOUGH.

>> WELL, HE WAS IN REALLY GOOD

SHAPE.

I WAS HAPPY THAT WE HAD IT JUS ABOUT DONE FINALLY.

AND NOW, YOU SEE, I'M GONNA HAVE

TO MAKE SOME NEW MONSTER MUD UP

AND TRY AND PATCH IT.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A

QUICK PROJECT.

YOU KNOW, ONE DAY, WE COULD BANG

IT OUT AND HAVE IT DONE.

>> [ GRUNTS ]

WITH THE ARTHRITIS, IT'S JUS A LITTLE HARDER.

[ GRUNTS ]

AND MATT WILL SAY, "YOU GOT TO

DO IT FOR THE KIDS," AND WE JUS MANAGE.

WE KEEP GOING.

>> HEY, DAD?

>> WHAT?

>> THAT'S THE WRONG WAY, I HATE

TO TELL YOU.

>> AW.

YOU ARE A PAIN IN MY NECK.

>> IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO BETWEEN

THERE AND HERE.

>> WELL...

>> CAN YOU FIX IT?

>> I CAN FIX IT, BUT IT'S A PAIN

IN THE NECK.

>> YOU DIDN'T MOVE THE POLE, DID

YOU?

>> NO.

I CUT THE MATERIAL TO A CERTAIN

LENGTH.

I GOT TO MAKE IT FIT.

>> ALL RIGHT. SORRY.

'CAUSE REMEMBER WE HAD SAID THE

MAZE?

>> YEAH, I KNOW.

>> SO, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THA PIECE OF PLASTIC...

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

>> ...AND PUT IT ON THIS POLE?

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO

RIGHT NOW.

>> WE NEED A WALL BETWEEN HERE

AND HERE, DAD.

CAN YOU HANDLE THAT?

>> EASY DOES IT.

>> YEP.

SO, HERE AND HERE, BARBARA, AND,

THEN, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER WALL,

A DIAGONAL WALL RIGHT HERE.

>> WELL, DICK'S GOT HIS WORK CU OUT FOR HIM TODAY.

[ LAUGHS ]

>> I CAN'T MEASURE THIS THING

OUT.

I'M DOING NO GOOD. [ SIGHS ]

>> YOU KNOW HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO

BE EVEN?

>> YEAH.

>> LIKE, TO MEET THE GROUND?

>> YEAH.

>> IT'S, LIKE, A FLOWING, LIKE,

BRIDAL DRESS.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

>> CAN WE FIX IT?

>> I TOLD HIM HE SHOULD FOLD I UP A LITTLE MORE.

>> I'LL GO LOOK IN A SECOND.

I NEED A REST.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS PLAN

IS, BUT PLASTIC WALLS JUST DON' STAND UP.

[ SIGHS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

>> MY JAW CLICKS. SERIOUSLY.

[ CLICKS JAW ] SEE?

WHEN I TALK OR I CHEW FOOD

SOMETIMES, IT DOES THAT.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THA ONE.

SOMETIMES IT WON'T DO IT FOR A

WHILE.

>> I'M SURE IT SUCKS.

>> EVERY SO OFTEN, IT GETS VERY

CLICKY, LIKE TODAY.

AND IT'S RIGHT HERE.

>> [ GRUNTS ]

>> THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A

MOMMY TREKKIE AND A DADDY

TREKKIE GET TOGETHER.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> THE STORK BRINGS AN UGLY,

UGLY BABY LIKE THIS.

I'M JUST BEING GOOFY.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> I KID AROUND WITH HER, BUT,

YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T SEE HER

LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, HONESTLY, I SEE HER MORE

LIKE A SISTER OR SOMETHING, SO

YOU DON'T WANT TO DATE YOUR

SISTER, YOU KNOW?

>> HE'S TOLD ME POINT-BLANK

[LAUGHS] MANY A TIMES WHEN WE'VE

GOTTEN TOO FLIRTATIOUS WITH EACH

OTHER, "I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE

WITH YOU IF YOU WERE THE LAS WOMAN ON EARTH" KIND OF THING.

YEAH. [ LAUGHS ]

SO, IT'S NOT A HORRIBLE THING.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

>> SO, WE DID MAKE QUITE A BI OF PROGRESS TODAY.

HE'S FINALLY DONE.

HE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT TACKY.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE HIM UNDER A

SHELTER.

OW.

I JUST GOT A SPLINTER.

AAH, DAD!

>> WHAT?

>> I BROKE IT.

>> SHUCKY DARN.

>> WELL, YOU DEAL WITH THAT.

I GOT TO GO GET THIS SPLINTER

OUT NOW.

>> MATT'S LIVED ON HIS OWN

BEFORE.

HE WAS DOWN IN FLORIDA FOR A

LITTLE WHILE.

SO THEY HAVE LIVED APART FOR A

FEW MONTHS, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN

VERY LONG.

[ CHUCKLES ]

>> I'M GONNA HAVE TO SOAK IT FOR

A WHILE.

IF YOU SOAK IT, IT'LL COME OU 'CAUSE THE WOOD SWELLS UP.

I CAN SEE WHERE IT WENT IN, BU I DON'T SEE IT THERE.

>> HE HAS FAMILY, BUT HE DOESN' HAVE AS CLOSE A FAMILY AS HIS

FATHER.

THAT'S IT.

WITHOUT HIS FATHER, HE'S LOST.

>> IT'S A LAVA-SOAP PRODUCT I'M

USING NOW.

>> HE'S UNDER HERE FOR TONIGHT.

I GOT TO WORK ON HIM AGAIN

TOMORROW.

IT'S A LOSING BATTLE.

>> TONIGHT IS HALLOWEEN.

TONIGHT IS THE BIG SHOW.

THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL FOR US.

WE'LL BE VERY BUSY.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY CHAOTIC.

IT'S AN ORGANIZED CHAOS.

PLANTS, DONE.

PLASMA BALLS, U.V. LAMPS,

MONSTER.

SOUND EFFECTS I NEVER DID.

I'M NOT GONNA DO IT.

COAT OF ARMS, YOU HUNG UP.

CURTAIN, YOU HUNG.

NO, THAT WAS FOR THIS.

I GOT SOME BLACK CURTAIN FOR

RIGHT HERE.

DRAPE IT THIS WAY.

>> YEP.

>> AND STAPLE IT HERE AND STAPLE

IT UP TOP.

YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY GET OUT TO

ABOUT HERE, JUMP UP AND MAKE A

BUSH NOISE, LIKE A -- I DON' KNOW.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T SAY

"BOO."

I HATE THAT.

I CAN'T WRAP THIS.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO HAVE TINA WRAP

THIS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRAP THIS

STUPID THING.

I DO START TO GET STRESSED OU AS THINGS FALL OFF SCHEDULE.

YEAH, WE GOT TO MOVE THESE.

>> WHY?

>> 'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A YARD

SALE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CEMETERY.

HE'S GOT THE GRAVESTONES ALL

TILTED, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A YARD

SALE.

AND HE'S GOT SOME OF MY GOOD

PROPS IN THE BACK AND SOME OF MY

BAD PROPS IN THE FRONT.

AND IT'S REALLY NOT FUNCTIONAL

THE WAY IT IS.

YOU KNOW, YEAH, I'M AMAZED THA I HAVE ANY FRIENDS [CHUCKLES]

DURING THAT WEEK AT ALL.

THEY HAVEN'T JUST UP AND LEFT.

BUT I JUST WANT THINGS TO RUN

SMOOTHLY.

THE ANUBIS STATUE -- IT CAME OU GOOD.

I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN, BUT THERE

ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WOULD

HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY -- THE

COLLAR AND BACKGROUND PIECE.

I'M A PERFECTIONIST, BUT YOU

HAVE TO GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU

JUST LET IT GO.

"OKAY. TIME'S UP.

TIME TO MOVE ON TO THE NEX PROJECT."

>> OUTSIDE, HE'S RUSHING TO

FINISH THE LAST-MINUTE DETAILS.

IN HERE, I USUALLY HAVE GARMEN RACKS SET UP.

WE HAVE MASKS.

WE HAVE ACCESSORIES -- HATS,

GLOVES, CAPES.

THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE STACKED UP

OVER HERE OR OVER THERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A TORNADO HIT.

IT'S AWFUL.

PEOPLE ARE VOLUNTEERING TO BE

HERE AND STAY HERE ALL NIGHT, SO

CAN'T LET THEM GO HUNGRY.

>> MY WIFE, TINA, OF COURSE --

SHE DOES SO, SO MUCH WORK.

THE FOOD FOR THE ACTORS, THE

MAKEUP, THE COSTUMES.

SHE'S JUST PHENOMENAL.

AND JUST THE FACT THAT SHE PUTS
