The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It Page #2

I'm not going that way.

When you see me walking

down the street all alone

It's because I'm headed

for the whitewater dome

So check the windows

The lights are out and nobody's home

And everything that I ever loved

somehow is gone, gone, gone

If you see me walking

down the street all alone

It's because I'm headed

for the whitewater dome

Cassie.

Cassie.

May I help you?

May I help you?

Um...

Well, I've never seen this store before.

We're only here for Halloween.

I see.

You like scary things, don't you?

Usually.

It's fun to scare people, isn't it?

Come on, you love it.

So where do you

get all this stuff?

I'm a collector.

Well, thank you.

I think I have to...

I see you like to read.

I do.

Let me show you

the book section.

Actually, I have to go.

Hello again.

Feel free to browse.

This is the book section?

Did you want quality

or quantity?

The sign says, "Books,"

not, "Book. "

I'll have the "S" removed.

Please.

The Evil Thing. Sounds scary.

May I see it?

Certainly.

It's locked.

When you buy, you get the key.

Perhaps it's not for you.

How much is it?

How much would you pay?

Five dollars?

Sold.

The Evil Thing is yours.

The key.

Not here.

McKIBBLE ON P. A: Attention students.

We have the election results

for our new Pumpkin Queen,

but, first, a reminder.

When you're at the dance,

remember to practice safe dancing

and not dance too close.

I wouldn't want

to have to separate any of you.

And now for the election results.

The enthusiasm of the entire student body

was wonderful. Who says you don't care?

The winner and new Pumpkin Queen

is Priscilla Wright!

Guess that makes you Mr. Pumpkin Queen.

Oh, man!

So what's the big deal

about being Pumpkin Queen, anyway?

Oh, it's a beautiful tradition.

The poetry, the music,

the piata.

My date. My date.

Piata?

Yes, the pumpkin piata.

Oh, it's so festive.

Only the Queen is allowed to hit it open.

Queen Priscilla?

Her Majesty.

Turn it off! It's scary.

Turn it off!

Honey, you wanted

Ultimate Gonzago.

I want a different game.

It's scary.

Max, it's a squirrel

who throws nut bombs.

I don't care!

Yes! Yes!

All right, that's it.

Yeah, that's right.

It's for me.

Hi, delivery.

Thanks.

Have a good day.

What is it?

UPS. Stuff for the dance.

I thought you weren't

going to the dance.

Remember you said to give it

some thought? So I did.

Okay. Ooh!

Do you want a revolution?

Crown institution

How about a big black car?

Honey, I don't know who you are

Which one will it be?

I want to sing for you

I want to sing for you

Don't kick me down the road

Really, baby, it's time to go

Would you shout out

Come on

Baby, baby

Turn the world out now

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Yeah

Hey, guys, Mr. McKibble

wants you at the main gate

to help unload some equipment.

The main gate?

Yeah, not sure.

Some audio-visual stuff, I think.

I thought we were

only on piata duty.

Get in there. Go! Go! Go!

What was that about?

Mr. McKibble did not want us. Bogus.

How about those skeletons, huh?

How about a round of applause

for the skeletons?

Great job! Good job! Great job!

Happy Halloween, everybody.

You know, as your principal,

I am proud that, tonight,

we are going to carry on

a very special tradition.

Oh, yeah!

All right!

Tonight, are you ready for it?

I'm sorry. I didn't hear you.

Are you ready for it?

Yes! May I present to you

this year's Pumpkin Queen,

Priscilla Wright!

Come forth and be crowned!

Here is your glory.

And here is your power.

I command a mighty pumpkin

to feed my loyal subjects.

Smash it! Smash it! Smash it!

Smash it! Smash it! Smash it!

Roaches!

They're crawling

all over the place!

Help me! Help me!

Just get them! Kill them!

Ew!

She fell in the cake!

Hey, Priscilla,

I heard you're opening your own motel!

It's the Cockroach Queen!

Where is she going?

Quick! Step on her!

Hey, Priscilla,

what are you using for hairspray, Raid?

Hey, don't hurt her feelers.

Where are you going, Priscilla?

Behind the stove?

I know it was you.

Prove it.

You are so dead.

Tonight is Halloween.

Who knows when Halloween started?

I thought I might

see your hand, Cassie.

Halloween started with the Celts

in what is now Ireland

around, like, 2,000 years ago.

Go on, Cassie.

The Celts celebrated

the end of the harvest

and the beginning

of the days getting shorter

and the nights getting longer.

These long, dark nights

made people think about death,

as they do today.

Yes. Yes, I suppose that's true.

But does anyone know

where the custom

for dressing up for Halloween...

Yes, Cassie?

The Celts believed

that on the night of October 31st,

the boundary between the living

and the dead became blurred.

They thought that on this night,

the ghost of the dead came back to Earth.

They would build big bonfires

and dress up in animal masks and skins

to frighten away the spirits,

but then, over time,

it changed into All Hallows

because the Church taught

that you were supposed to hallow the dead.

That's very impressive, Cassie.

Okay, get out your notebooks.

Let's talk about term papers.

I can't wait till October 31st

I'm so excited that my

sweet tooth's gonna burst

I'll be the one with the chocolate in my eye

I can't wait till October 31st

It's my Halloween song

I can't wait till October 31st

It's my Halloween song

I can't wait till October 31st

It's my Halloween song

This thing itches.

You're barely wearing

a costume anymore.

Can you hold my bag?

It's heavy.

Let's go.

You have enough stuff.

Hey, guys, look,

they're giving away wax lips with fangs!

Wax lips! I love wax lips!

Go on.

Go on.

I don't like that music.

Then let's go. I have homework to do,

and you have enough candy.

I don't have wax lips.

They're my favorites.

Then go up there.

It's just music.

Look, toddlers

are going up there. Go on!

I can't!

Then we're going home.

I want wax lips.

Then go!

I can't!

Look, a ladybug

is going up there.

Are you a bigger chicken

than a ladybug?

Maybe.

Think how good it'll feel when you're brave.

You'll go, "It wasn't so hard. "

Won't that be good to say,

"It wasn't so hard"?

I can't!

Do you want me to go for you?

No, everyone will see me

and know I'm scared.

Then you go! See you later.

Wait!

Can you breathe?

No.

Okay, that works for me.

Mom! Dad!

Hey!

Cassie left me alone!

You what?

I just started walking.

I didn't "leave him alone. "

Liar! You left me,

and I didn't get wax lips with fangs.

All right, we'll get you wax lips, all right?

Look, just go.

Fine, let's go.

Why can't we just do this tomorrow, buddy?

No, I really want them now!

All right, let's go.

Let's go! Let's go! Here!

Come on! Hurry up!

Hold on! Don't...

I don't know what it will take

to get you to be nice to your brother.

A miracle?

Can I count on you

for one simple thing?

I'm leaving this roast out to defrost

for tomorrow. In a couple of hours,
