Original subtitles

Long ago in the distant future, over 200 ,000 miles from the safety of Earth,

a terrible secret link buried, imprisoned beneath the surface of that

glowing orb in the night sky.

The moon.

But that ancient secret will not remain hidden for long.

For soon, mankind will meddle with the malevolent lunar forces and unleash the

most unholy terror ever to torment the turbulent galaxy.

Goblin One, do you read? This is Control.

Over.

I read you, Control.

How's everything back on Earth?

Still a mess.

Anything to report?

Sergei's playing with his rocks again.

Baxter's exploring a topological anomaly.

I am not playing with rocks, Fred.

I am collecting samples.

Always so serious.

What's this about a topological anomaly?

Goblin 3, Baxter, do you read?

You see, Control, I was doing a survey up on the ridge, and there was this

sort of shape sticking out under the surface. And so I've just been digging

digging and...

It seems to me like there might be some kind of structure down there.

Structure?

Like a building?

It sure is shooting control.

Here, you ought to be getting a feed from my spacesuit camera about now.

You see, there's some kind of weird markings all around the entrance.

Holy crap, is that writing?

I reckon it looks that way.

Hey, wait.

Get over here.

What's up, Tommy?

Look. Wait.

The live feed? Yeah.

Is that some kind of writing?

On the moon?

Don't tell him to be careful.

Baxter, careful with that.

Oopsie -daisy.

Oh, looks like I might have cracked it.

Uh -oh.

What's wrong with the picture?

Baxter, Baxter, what's going on? Oh, no.

Father of the East of China.

Ancient evil.

Get him back. Baxter, what's happening? What do you mean ancient evil?

Fred, Sergey, do you guys have eyes on Baxter?

Affirmative. That is negative.

Well, we did have eyes on him, but he's gone now. Gone? What do you mean, gone?

He's gone.

Dead like a doornail.

Dead? What happened?

Oh, no.

Oh, no. It's Moon Ghost!

Did you hear that?

Yeah. What was that?

Sounded like a crash or something.

You know, there was something up in the sky first, like a meteor or an asteroid

or something.

You don't think?

Visitors from another world.

Think we should investigate?

It could be dangerous.

That's why we got these.

Might be right about that, Willie. Let's go get some.

Let's hurry this up, Willie. It's getting late.

What, are you scared?

Hey, look at there.

That don't look like any meteor I've ever seen.

Ain't that a meteorite? Huh?

When it lands.

I think it's called a meteorite when it lands. Shut up, George.

Careful. There might be some kind of hungry goo monster in it. You know, like

that old Stephen Queen movie.

That's a movie, George.

This is real life.

There ain't no monsters.

Besides, I just want to touch him.

Willie.

Hey, Willie.

Careful, Willie.

Well, I guess there ain't no monster.

You think it's valuable?

Well, yeah.

The mega -heads at NASA would probably pay a fortune for a genuine meteor from

Mars.

Meteorite. Shut up, Gilbert.

Well, I'm just glad there ain't no monster in it.

Hey, Selena.

Oh, sorry. You okay? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, well, we're gonna go play some hide -and -seek.

You wanna?

Come on. You spend way too much time by yourself.

What's wrong with that?

Is she coming?

No.

Selena, it's hide -and -seek. Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

What are you gonna do out here by yourself?

Thank you.

Come on.

Babe.

Please. Hide and seek.

Hide and seek. Hide and seek. Hide and seek.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Okay.

Okay. All right.

Who is it?

Are you kidding me?

First round of hide and seek. I'm always it.

All right. You count to 50. We'll go hide. Okay. All right.

Okay, one.

Two.

That's 22.

That's 23.

24.

25.

Do you hear that?

That spooky moaning.

I don't hear any moaning.

Oh, I love this game.

Uh,

Kalina?

Baby, what's wrong? Kalina?

What should I do? I mean, I never... Selina, what can I do?

Baby.

Baby, are you all right?

What happened?

Selina, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

What happened?

I don't know.

The worst headache of my life.

And that sound.

Maybe let's get to the tent before it gets dark.

Yeah, you...

You could use some rest.

Everything will be okay.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

I'm singing, my friend.

Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down?

That thing ate my friend! Yeah, it's going to eat us if we don't stop

We're all going to die.

Not helpful.

Okay, just... We just have to stay here and be quiet. Stay here.

Jerry, this is a tent. It can get through friends. It can get through a

Just... Just let me think.

Okay.

I'm going to call someone.

Who are you going to call?

I don't know. The cops, I guess.

Police station, this is Sergeant Hooper. What can I... Wait, wait, slow down.

Hold on, hold on. Just tell me what happened.

Slowly.

You say you're camping in the woods with your friends.

And you say a ghost monster killed your friend?

You say it ripped his head off and ate him.

Look, kids, this is crazy talk. There's no such thing as ghost monsters.

And even if there were, what do you expect us to do about it?

You say there aren't such things as ghost monsters, and even if there were,

would I expect you to do about it? Your job.

Okay, my friend is dead.

Dead. Come out here and investigate.

You say your friend is dead?

Dead? And you want us to come out and investigate?

Okay, fine.

I'll send someone out. Where are you?

Old Willow Campground.

All right, sit tight, kid.

But the rapids, Hooper.

Some wacko kid says a ghost monster bit the head off his friend and then beat

him. A ghost monster?

Where's the location?

You really want this one?

Yeah.

You got it, pal.

Jerry?

Did someone scream?

No.

Oh.

Okay. What am I going to tell Fred's parents?

Tell them the truth.

They're not going to believe it. I'm not sure I do, and I was there.

What about the funeral? Do you think there's anything left to bury?

God, he was three chapters away from finishing his first novel. Why did this

happen? You can't be thinking about this right now, Lisa, okay? We have to just

focus on getting out of here.

Right, Selena?

If you say so.

Nothing can help us now.

Are you the one to call the police about a murder?

Detective Sally Newman.

Jerry. And this is my girlfriend, Selena.

And this is our platonic friend, Lisa.

My boyfriend is the one who... Who?

The one who is eaten by a ghost monster.

They're there. They're there.

Show me where this happened.

I've been a cop for over 20 years, and this is the grossest thing I've ever

seen. Yeah, it was really scary.

Did you say that a goat monster did this?

I guess so. I mean, it was like white and flowy like a Halloween sheet, but

there were no legs underneath.

Good.

What'd you say?

It was an old tale that my grandmother used to tell me when I was a kid.

Moon ghost.

The embodiment of pure evil.

Pure evil?

Pure evil.

According to the story, there was a vibrant civilization

living on the moon.

But a sorcerer or wizard or something accidentally conjured

up a monster.

Then it destroyed the entire lunar civilization.

According to legend, one day, Moon Ghost would

escape its prison on the moon and wreak havoc on

other worlds, including ours.

Do you think that's what ate Fred?

That or a bear.

It wasn't a bear. It was Moon Ghost.

I would like to believe.

I really would.

My own poor granny went to her grave and this thing, that it was real.

I mean, the whole family thought she was off her rocker.

They committed her. The whole nine yards.

Still, she never stopped telling us.

That Moon Ghost was coming for all of us.

Moon Ghost would kill us in our sleep, in our beds. Moon Ghost

would bring the apocalypse.

But believe me, kid.

Moon Ghost is just a legend.

It's Moon Ghost!

Ready for the moon!

She was right!

Come

and

get me. And don't plan the kiss yet.

Which way do we go?

Which way back to the cars?

I don't see any sign.

Come on, come on.

Selena?

Selena?

Delita! Wake up!

Wake up! Delita!

Jerry?

Wake up!

Then the video feed went blank.

We tried reaching out to them on every possible channel, but it's all dead.

We're a little concerned that none of them survived.

Well, obviously.

Who else knows about this?

Just Elmer and me and now you. Good. If word gets out, we'll have a full -blown

panic on our hands.

A panic, Director White?

A mysterious orb, alien carvings on a hidden moon temple, and a trio of dead

astronauts. You bet your dress socks there'll be a panic.

Dumbass. What do we do now?

Let me make some calls. In the meantime, just sit tight and don't show those

recordings to anyone.

Anyone.

Understood.

Nothing!

Police station, this is Sergeant Hooper.

Oh, hello there, Commissioner.

What's that?

A call from the old Willow's campground?

I already talked to the captain about it, but Loomis went to check it out, and

that's the last I heard talk to Loomis.

What happened to Loomis? How should I know?

She's not answering her radio.

What do you want me to do about it?

You want me to send someone to investigate the investigation?

Hey, it's your guy, Mac.

I mean, sir.

Hey, anybody want to go looking for a missing cop and a monster?

Who's there?

Ace Magley. City Herald.

Miss Gibbons, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

About what? The police got a call last night around 9 p .m.

Resulted in the disappearance of four people.

A police detective included.

Oh?

Apparently, the fellow that called in said his friend was attacked by some

of ghost monster.

And apparently, the fellow that called in was your boyfriend.

I don't know anything about it. Miss Gibbons.

Miss Gibbons!

This story will come out with or without your help.

Miss Gibbons!

What happened out there? Did you see this monster, Miss Gibbons?

What happened to Detective Sally Loomis, Miss Gibbons?

Get a real job, kid.

Well, it's in the press.

How much do they know?

They know that people are being slaughtered, and one of the victims

police and said it was some kind of ghost monster.

Is that all?

Yeah. Then they don't know anything.

Director White. There's nothing to connect this back to NASA.

Look, Phoebe, sooner or later, someone's going to realize that this... Thing

started killing people in the middle of Commander Darklove's mission to the

moon. And then... What evidence?

Exactly.

So what do we do now?

Let me make a few calls. In the meantime, just sit tight and don't say

to anyone.

Keeping busy, guys?

Read the room, Luther! God!

Hey, raindrop.

Do you want to hear a poem I wrote for you?

I don't just want to hear it. I need to hear it.

Okay.

I stare into the windows of your eyes like a...

A tom peeping into your soul. Your light touches mine.

Cosmic rays forge our love.

Dust from the stars.

The shimmer of a comet's tail.

The solar winds through your billowing celestial hair.

My love for you is a supernova.

And I'm exploding eternally, baby.

The end.

Queza.

That was transcendent. I know.

Love really is the solution to everything.

Oh, you got that right, baby.

Great job.

Selena.

Hi,

Mom. Selena, dear, I saw this thing in the papers. Are you all right? I'm fine,

Mom. But, honey, all your friends are dead.

I know, Mom, I was there.

I know them all get... You know what? I don't want to talk about it.

Should I come over and make dinner?

No, Mom.

I could make brownies.

You're not driving two hours to bring me brownies.

Fine. If you won't talk to me, is there someone else you can talk to?

Who am I going to talk to, Mom?

All my friends are dead.

Oh, honey.

I have to go. I love you, Selena.

Call me if you...

I think we got cut off. I was just saying to call me if you need anything.

Okay, Mom.

I love you.

I love you too.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Rick.

Can't Jesse cover my shift?

I told you, it's personal.

Well, I don't know what else to tell you.

I'm not coming in today.

So if you see a ghost, or a ghoul, or even a goblin, call us, Diana and

Ghost Hunters, and we'll come to your rescue. Our super -sophisticated

technology helps us detect poltergeists, hauntings, and what have you. We can

even perform exorcisms or cleanings if you or a loved one or a building have

been inhabited by some malevolent entity.

Evil spirit, be gone!

Diana, you just punched a ghost out of me!

I sure did.

So if you need some paranormal butt detected or even kicked, call us

professionals, Diana and Ronnie. Ghost Punchers!

Thank you.

Hey Cosmo, it's Sarah.

I completely lost all water pressure again.

I thought you were going to fix it.

Yeah, well I don't appreciate having to deal with this problem every other day.

I don't care. Just do your job and fix it.

Fine. Thank you.

You've seen the news lately?

Which news?

Dude, there's tons of news.

The news about the police detective and the campers. Oh yeah, they were like

brutally ripped apart by some monster or something, right?

What?

Oh, oh.

Sorry,

did you know the deceased?

Jerry, my boyfriend.

And Lisa and Fritz.

They were my friends.

Bummer.

Were you actually there when it happened?

That must have been awful.

It was.

I feel like we... Was there really a monster?

It... It was Moon Ghost.

Dude, you saw Moon Ghost?

You know about Moon Ghost?

Yes, we are very well read. Yeah, there's a whole chapter on it in the Big

of Moon Myths by Apollo York.

Moon Ghost supposedly wiped out an entire civilization on the moon before

captured by the last moon wizard and imprisoned in a moon temple.

So, what's he doing here?

And why is he killing everyone?

I have no idea how he's here, but he's Moon Ghost, right? Like, killing is his

whole thing.

So, all Moon Ghost does is... kill people.

Yeah, pretty much.

How do we stop him?

I mean, it took a flippin' moon wizard and a legend, right? But he's a ghost,

right? And you two know how to fight ghosts.

Not exactly, but your commercial, we are very well

versed in paranormal studies and sciences. We just... Well, we've never

seen a ghost.

Oh, this is perfect.

Well, hold up, dude. We still know what to do. We trained with famous

spiritualist Jeffrey Wesley. And we both have degrees in physics and

metaphysics. From real universities.

Just take us to where it happened.

We'll bring our gear and see what we can do.

But if we fail, more people might die.

Maybe us.

Just give us a chance, okay?

just some good looking superheroes happy halloween thank you you're welcome

hey

that's a great costume yeah they took a treat

you want some candy

not really getting in the spirit of things are we all right happy halloween

ghost

person anybody

There's like no clues or anything.

Are you getting anything on that?

Nothing unusual.

I'll try the EVP.

What EVP?

Electronic voice phenomena, dude.

Yeah, we use a special recorder to try to pick a voice from the other side.

But Moon Ghost isn't on the other side.

He's on this side.

The side he can eat us.

Oh, yeah.

Good point.

You said that Moon Ghost stopped before eating you, though.

Yeah. It was really weird.

Can you show us where that happened?

Over this way.

There's this green orb thing here.

It was glowing.

And I think it was calling to me.

Your glowing green orb called to you?

That is awesome!

There's something strange here. I'm getting clear electromagnetic readings.

What does that mean?

Some people who've witnessed paranormal events have reported fluctuations in

electromagnetic energy.

Yeah, like how static electricity makes your hair stand on end.

Exactly. Oh.

What happened to the orb you found?

I took it home.

Can we see it?

Sure.

Strong electromagnetic readings. This thing is off the charts.

There must be crazy amounts of psychokinetic energy in there.

So, what is it?

Where did it come from?

Could be from outer space, or an alternate dimension.

Might be a relic of an ancient order of mystics, or some kind of unknown

sentient being.

Could be a frickin' dragon's egg.

That's a bird.

Sentient being?

Whatever it is. Go jump in the lake.

So, when now?

Does that have something to do with Moon Goat?

Hard to say.

You'll need to talk to the real expert.

Who's that?

Apollo York.

The dude wrote the book.

I'm just waiting for this whole Moon Goat thing to be over.

Either you're done or I'm fed.

Moon Goat!

Diana! You just punched Moon Goat! He's a fake!

Wait! Hell yeah!

Ronnie!

Talk to Moon Goat!

Do you?

Got it.

I am bushed. You take out the trash, Larry.

I'll do it in the morning.

You'll sleep in and you'll miss it again.

No, I won't. You will.

Not this time.

Do it now.

Marge.

Do it now.

Well, you'll be happy to know the trash is outside.

Why don't you give me a kiss and we can get some sleep, huh?

Marge, where's your head?

And your little dog, too?

What's that? A ghost monster ate your grandparents?

What? A ghost monster ate your pizza?

Oh, the ghost monster ate the pizza delivery driver.

You say a dingo ate your baby? And a ghost monster ate the dingo?

What? A ghost monster ate the mayor?

This is insane!

Indeed it was insane.

In the coming days, reports of moon ghost sightings increase across all

of... Countries all continents, tales of moon ghosts wreaking havoc, leaving

a trail of death and destruction in his wake, the likes of which had never

before been seen on this earth.

Extra, extra, read all about it. Thousands of people are missing or dead.

Could it be the work of the campground ghost monster?

Only a buck to find out. It's a hoax, kid.

Fake news.

More people.

Holy mackerel!

So it seems that more people have died. Like, a lot more.

A lot.

But still no evidence to link it back to NASA.

No, but... Fine, I'll make a few calls. Sit tight. Don't say anything.

Did you hear about all the weird monster killings?

Monsters?

Nice place.

What do you want?

You already wrote your stories.

Miss Gibbons, you know something.

Everybody's dead. The end.

Come on, Selina.

I can call you Selina. Come on, Selina. You have seen the ghost monster.

As far as I can tell, you're the only one who's seen it and survived.

Okay, look, this may sound weird, but...

I think it's from outer space.

What makes you say that? The attack started the same day that the team of

astronauts went missing on the moon.

Oh? NASA has tried to remain very hush, but Commander Fred Darklove and his team

were doing some sort of research.

NASA was publishing its reports several times a day, and then it just stopped.

What?

No explanation.

Just... nothing.

So... what, you think it killed them and then came to Earth?

Maybe.

Would explain why NASA and the Feds are trying to remain so mum.

I'm not with NASA or the government.

What do you expect me to say? Helena, just tell me what you know.

Heck, tell me what you think you know.

I don't know much.

Just stories, legends.

Well, let's start there.

Have you heard of Moon Ghost?

The hell is a Moon Ghost?

An evil entity from the moon. It's said to have wiped out all civilization there

thousands of years ago.

Uh -huh.

Apparently it's not as much of a myth as we once thought.

And was your people at least the same?

Inadvertently, yes.

What do y 'all want from me?

Mr. Secretary.

For sure, Phoebe.

Y 'all can call me Wayne, you know that.

That's at the motel. At work, I'd like to keep things professional.

Okie dokie.

As of right now, there is no direct evidence linking Moon Ghost back to us,

that's how we'd like things to stay.

Mm -hmm. But most of my staff are dead now.

Mm -hmm. Sooner or later, we're going to have to do something.

Why? It's killing hundreds of people every day.

Mm -hmm. So there's that.

All right, bye.

I can make a few phone calls.

Check in with the president.

Meantime, why don't you and your people just sit tight, okay?

I love it when you exercise your administrative authority.

Save it for the motel director, Wyatt.

I'm so sorry.

Don't know what came over me.

Let me get this straight.

The moon wizard imprisoned the moon ghost on the moon.

Thousands of years ago.

According to the legend.

So, maybe it didn't just kill the astronauts. Maybe the

astronauts relieved it.

I guess that's possible.

Possible? Hot dog!

It's a home run!

Of course NASA wants to keep this quiet if it's all their fault. But it's not

their fault. Not really. It was probably an accident. Yes, of course. Could you

imagine the headlines?

NASA Stooges Unleash Ancient Monster.

Big bold letters.

It's going to sell a million copies.

A billion copies. A trillion copies.

Do people still read newspapers?

I've got to get down to the office to write this.

But this isn't just about selling newspapers, is it?

It's about convincing people that there's a real danger.

Right? Sure.

We'll do that too.

Oh, one more thing.

How exactly did this moon wizard imprison the moon ghost?

I don't know.

But I think I have an idea on how to find out.

Well, why don't we compare notes after you figure it out?

Tom?

Now, this moon ghost apocalypse that's upon us is judgment from the Lord.

Judgment for all the sins of this wicked world.

Sins of the heart, sins of the mind, and my personal favorite, sins of the

flesh.

But, even in the midst of all this death and destruction, ain't no need to be

pessimistic. No.

There's a means of salvation, and I'm going to help you out.

All you have to do is partner with the pastor of My Retreat Ministries.

Send us a contribution.

We can pray for you.

Now,

you contribute a little bit, $10, $20, we're going to pray for you a little

You contribute a lot, $100, $200, $1 ,000, we're going to pray for you a lot.

And as a special added bonus, just because I'm that kind of guy, if you

contribute $200 a month,

You want to get this complimentary t -shirt that says, I survived the moon

apocalypse.

It's got a regular street value of $29 .95, and it's going to be yours

absolutely free.

So, get out that checkbook, write up a check, send it in to the Pastor Myron

Scratch message.

We're going to party together, and we're going to blow moon ghosts away with the

breath of the Lord.

Now, hey, I want you all to try it with me now. We're going to blow.

Charlie, where are you going?

Just got to turn my papers.

Well, don't be out too late. You've got to be at the coal mine early tomorrow.

Okay, Mom.

It

won't

work. Yes, it will. No, it won't. Yes, it will. No, it won't. You have to be

quiet.

You'd like to hear that?

It was probably just a bird or something like that. No way.

What? Oh, gosh.

Ah!

You consumed my...

In a given, we spoke on the phone earlier.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Come here, please.

Please, have a seat.

Now then.

talk about Moon Ghost.

Yeah.

You... You wrote about it in your book.

Ah, of course.

I cranked out that little ditty during a crazy weekend in Atlantic City 15 years

ago.

In the book, you say that Moon Ghost was defeated by the last

Moon Wizard.

Yeah. But it didn't say how. How?

Well, that is an interesting yarn.

You see, moon ghosts have wiped out nearly all of the lunar civilization.

Of the original eight moon wizards, only one remained.

Of course.

I have a copy.

of Sir Whitley Marvelton's Lunar Chronicles here somewhere.

Now, Sigmund, the last moon wizard, had

imprisoned moon ghosts in a mythical talisman and then sealed it inside

the sacred moon temple where it's remained for thousands of years.

it now.

Hmm. Well, that is another interesting yawn.

Pardon me for asking, why are you so interested in Moon Ghost?

Why?

Because he's out there killing everyone?

What?

Well, that's just silly.

Moon Ghost, if he ever really exists.

It is trapped inside the Moon Temple, if that ever really existed. On the Moon,

if that even really existed.

Don't you watch the news?

Moon Ghost does exist.

I've seen him.

real? He killed all my friends.

And like thousands of other people.

Hot diggity!

I knew it!

They called me mad, bonkers, wacko.

But I knew Moon Ghost was real.

I knew he would come and kill us all one day.

I was right.

Joyous news.

I'm happy.

For you, Dr. York.

But what about Moon Ghost?

Yes.

He will need to be studied.

New books will need to be written.

This is a momentous occasion. Truly momentous.

But how do we stop it?

There is a prophecy passed down by the last Moon Wizard when he

immigrated to Earth.

Yes? Only when the one with the full moon in their eyes is

sacrificed will Moon Ghost be defeated.

That's a rough translation from the original Lunaries, of course.

So I have to die?

In order to kill it?

You.

What makes you think the prophecy has anything to do with you?

The Orb of Sigma.

I found it the night the attacks began.

It called to me.

The Orb of Sigma.

Called to you?

Oh, my.

What? What does this mean?

Miss Gibbons.

You are the chosen one.

The final descendant of Sigmund, the last moon -weathered.

I'm descended from a moon -weathered?

Naturally.

That is why the orb called to you.

Oh.

What is the orb of Sigmund?

The prison.

The talisman that Sigmund used

to capture Wormghost.

All those generations ago.

That's

why

you look a little afraid of it.

Naturally.

Then I have to use it to stop him.

But how can I do that if I also have to be sacrificed?

Clearly, Moonghost won't go anywhere near you.

If you have the orb in hand, you will have to face him without it.

But how am I supposed to imprison him if I'm dead?

It's a heck of a catch -22, isn't it?

What to do?

My dear girl Neither do I

Chapter 1.

Mooncoat is real.

So, Professor Reginald

Sunspot, a third

from Gale.

You... ...have go... ...hit...

...a... ...dark.

Hello.

We meet at last.

I guess I won't be finishing this new book today after all.

Will I?

Let's be friends?

Mr.

President, we gotta act real quickly live here.

This whole Moongos thing is getting way out of hand.

Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, sir.

We gotta get on this thing like kicking on a hound dog, you know what I mean?

I saw on the news it's all NASA's fault.

Let them deal with it.

I have spoken.

But sir, everybody at NASA is dead?

And even if they weren't, they ain't equipped to handle something like this.

you questioning my decision?

No. But... It sounds like you're questioning my decision.

Mr. President, your eminency, if I may, I just feel that a national emergency of

this scope requires some executive intercession.

Like the military?

Yeah, probably.

Since City Herald star reporter Ace Manley's latest story broke, conspiracy

theorists are blaming NASA itself for...

In the first place, NASA Director Phoebe White has denied any direct

involvement.

NASA denies any involvement with this moon ghost.

I'm sure the truth will come out.

Just sit tight.

Director White was reportedly eaten by moon ghost just minutes after making

statement. Any other questions?

Yes, you, the moon ghost in the front row.

Meanwhile, despite all evidence...

It's just the latest in a string of hoaxes created by political extremists.

Moonghost? Moonghost?

Ha! It's all a plot to distract us from the real threat.

Microchips are being implanted into desserts and candy bars.

Looking for the Roaring Twenties.

Hot dog.

Front line coverage. I'm going to get a Pulitzer for sure.

Oh, no.

This is the wrong 20s.

Isn't a great time?

It's the thing that ate all my friends when we were camping.

I'm coming to get you. No, Mom, just stay. I am not going to let some space

monster eat my precious space. Mom, there is nothing you can do.

And I'm bringing Brownie. Mother!

I need you to stop.

You can't help me.

No one can help me.

Not Jerry, or the police, or ghost punchers.

Or Dr.

York. And not even you. Did you say ghost punchers?

I love you, Mom.

But there's something I have to do myself.

Okay, honey. Just please be careful.

Hello, Mom.

What's that?

You say Moon Ghost ain't your entire football team?

What do you mean nothing's working?

Hit him harder!

Nuke the bastard!

No, not literally nuke him. Just kill him!

Look at this crowd.

Is there a new war going on up there that nobody told me about?

It's Moonghost.

Moonghost? Ah, great.

I'm going to be putting in some heavy overtime tonight.

You think Moonghost just devoured everyone at the UN?

Hello, Selina.

Welcome to the mystical realm of the Undermoon.

Are you... Sigmund, the last Moon Wizard.

Wow. The last?

Until now.

What do you mean?

Only through your noble sacrifice could Moonghost be defeated.

Now that you have died, you may be reborn as the new moon wizard.

Oh?

Um... I didn't die.

What? I didn't die.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

I mean, the prophecy.

You needed to be sacrificed.

I just...

Out. Martin, moon ghost. But that's not the prophecy.

Maybe you misunderstood.

Don't lecture me on interpreting moon prophecy, young lady. I've been around

longer than you've existed.

Okay, fine.

Then you were right, and I'm dead.

Except I'm not.

I heard that.

Well, regardless, you have defeated.

moon ghost.

Therefore, you may take up the mantle of being moon wizard.

Okay.

Cool.

It is cool.

So, what am I supposed to do with the orb?

Do I just lock it in my closet?

No. The orb will return to the cosmos and find a hiding place on its own.

What do I do now?

Return to your Earth and be the best moon wizard you can be.

Almost, Mom.

Almost. Well, I won't keep you. I just wanted to make sure you weren't dead.

That's okay.

Hey, Mom?

Yes, honey?

I could sure go for some brownie.

I'll be there in two hours.

Maybe faster since traffic will be light.

You know, what with all the death and everything.

I'll see you soon.

Bye, honey.

Bye, Mom.

And so, Moonghost's merciless rampage is defeated once again.

And let us hope it is for the last time. For the next time Moonghost attacks,
