And your Dad's a cop, so if we get your Dad...

(SEAN) Absolutely no grown-ups. Okay?

They'll lock him up in a cage or something.

Dissect him.

Or put him on TV! Fat Kid.

No hiding, never, from me.

Ah! It's here!

(GRUNTING)

My prize. Oh...

Soon, Van Helsing... soon, the creatures of the night shall rule the world.

And there is no one to stop us!

(PANTING)

(GASPING)

Last night, near the ambulance crash, get this... eyewitness report Long black hearse. No plates.

You wanna ask me about the hood ornament?

What about the hood ornament?

I thought you'd never ask.

A silver skull.

I consider this an exciting lead.

I am excited. Are you excited? I'm thrilled.

Put out an APB.

I already did.

I'm a very good policeman. You know?

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Crenshaw.

Hurry! Get all your men and send them down to 666 Shadowbrook road!

It's an old mansion!

He's found the amulet! There's... There's no time!

Who the hell is this?

I'm the one they shot last night!

I'm a werewolf now, but...

Have a nice night.

No! No! No! No! Don't hang up!

Uhh! He's gonna kill your son!

(SCREAMING)

(ROARS)

(GROWLING)

(HOWLING)

(DISTANT HOWLING)

Patrick! Come in. Patrick.

Patrick, come in.

Yeah, we're here. Where are you?

We're almost there. Everything set with you?

Know in a minute. Rudy?

Rudy!

This babe is major.

Rudy's in love.

Well, good for Rudy.

(DISTANT HOWLING)

Thanks a lot, Pete.

(BARKS)

Okay, remember... rendezvous position "A", 2200 hours. Uhh...

Say what?

10:
00, doofus.

How do we know the amulet's there, anyway?

We don't, but it's all we have to go on. Sean.

Okay. Well. Good luck, butt love. Sean.

I know you are, but what am I? Sean.

Out.

What, Eugene?

Creature stole my Twinkie.

So?

What did you want to ask me?

What do we want to ask you.

Okay. Um, Sis... me and Ru...

Rudy?

Your show, Ace.

Okay.

We just wanted to know...

(COUGHING) if you're a virgin. What?

(COUGHS)

Okay. What we want to know is... are you a... (BLUBBERS)

Ahem. Look.

What your brother is so delicately attempting to inquire, and let me, out of my own personal curiosity, is the degree to which you may have or... have not, at some point in time...

...been dorked?

You guys are sick!

(GASPS)

Guess what.

Fox Photo's got a two-for-one deal this week, and wouldn't you know it, there's a space on the bulletin board right between the prom committee notes... and the football roster.

(FAT KID) Sean.

About this Monster Squad thing.

Maybe we could go back to the clubhouse and rethink it with the other guys.

Fat Kid... you're bein' a wuss.

Wuss?

Can it, Frank.

Time's runnin' out.

(WHISPERING) Sean, no!

Scary house... real monsters... us...12 years old? Remember?

Midnight... end of world. Remember?

Master... is near.

Master wants children dead.

Um, Sean?

Maybe we could be like Math Squad instead, you know... do math problems. Stay home.

Or Nature Squad.

We could look at rocks, collect birds.

Not be dead. See, it's this whole death thing I'm not crazy about.

(HINGES SQUEAKING)

(CHUCKLES) Well... no amulet.

Let's go.

Look. We got two consolations.

Number one, Frankenstein's on our side.

And number two, my Dad's a cop.

Anybody fools around with us, he kicks their ass.

Hey, Frankie.

Come on.

(LOUD STEP, BOARDS CREAK)

(EXPLOSION)

Frank!

Wake up! Wake up!

(SEAN) Eugene, get away from there!

He won't wake up!

Fat Kid, use your eyes. Does it look like you can help him?

But... But what do I do, Sean?

A monster!

Don't call him a monster.

Well... what if he's dead?

Then he died to help us.

Now, look.

I'm the leader of this squad, so listen up.

He said Dracula knows we're here.

So let's just try to find the amulet...

...and get the hell outta here.

(ROARS)

Sean! Aah!

Kick him in the nards! What?

Kick him in the nards!

He doesn't have nards! Do it! Do it!

Wolf man's got nards!

Come on! Come on!

(GROWLING) Oh...

(BARKING)

(FAT KID WHIMPERS)

Aah! (THUNDER)

(HISSING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(GROWLS)

What are you doin'? Haven't you read The Hardy Boys?

You pull some lever down and a secret door opens!

You gotta be kidding! You have a better idea?

♪ (ROCK)

(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)

(HORN BLOWS)

(PATRICK) Come on, Sean.

Damn! Where is he?

Where are you? Come in!

Sean!

Where are you, Sean?

10:
00. They're late.

Maybe the monsters got them.

"Maybe the monsters got them."

(ALL SCREAMING)

Can we go home, Sean? Oh, great.

Please? Can't we go home? Just great.

Frankenstein's dead, Eugene's whining, and we're sitting here with Pirate Bill.

(EUGENE) Come on, Sean. Man, we're dead.

(FAT KID) Eugene, stop it.

Bingo.

You guys, I got it!

Give it to me.

Give it to me!

Aah! (BARKING)

Get out of here! Get out of here!

Help! (PETE BARKS)

Give it to me!

Aah!

Garlic! Come on! Get outta here!
