George, what are you doing?

The crazy neighbor
next door is up to something.

Come on, Zeus.
Let'’s go check it out.

I'’m telling you, buddy, ever
since we moved into our new home,

some weird things have
been happening.

You know I have issues
about going out in thunderstorms.

Ooh, I know. Let'’s
go back inside

'’cause The Real Housepuppies
of Beverly Hills is about to start.

Come on, buddy. You'’re not afraid
of a little thunderstorm, are you?

Me? Afraid?

Come on. Us Patterson
men gotta stick together.

Okay.

You owe me a
big steak for this, George.

All right, back me up, buddy.

Back me up.

Back you up? Who'’s
gonna back me up?

Can'’t we just come back
when the storm'’s over? Please?

It'’s okay, buddy. It's okay. I
got a bad feeling about this.

Seems like there'’s
someone in there, buddy.

That'’s great.
Let'’s go. Come on.

Thunder?
Ahh! Zeus, come on!

Zeus!

Zeus!

Zeus!

Bats!

Ooh! Ah! Ahh!

George, watch out!
Cover your head!

I can'’t look.

George, is that you?

Zeus! Zeus! I can'’t see! I
can'’t get this off my head!

Who'’s making all that noise?

Sounds like the new neighbor.

Bruno, what are you doing?

I wanna see what'’s going on.

Georgie, look
out for the tombstones!

Ohh! My brain!

I'’m coming, George!

Georgie, look out!

No!

Medusa!

You tell that idiot to
stay out of our yard!

Oh, yeah? Well, I'’m a former
K-9, and I smell probable cause.

I'’m sorry, Georgie. I heard
the thunder, and it scared me.

Oh. Well. That
could'’ve gone better.

Um, you might
want to turn around.

I got out of bed for this?

This is unbelievable.

Ahh! Hey, honey.

Did you get a haircut?

Oh, George! Moron!

George. We'’ve
only lived here two months.

Do you know how hard I have
worked to try to get everyone to like us?

Looks like someone'’s in
the doghouse now, Georgie.

Belinda, has it
ever occurred to you

that maybe I'’m trying
to protect this family?

You know, it'’s not like we moved
out of state. We moved three blocks.

I'’ll do better next
time, George, I promise.

It was just I was scared by the
thunderstorm and the lightning.

I don'’t know what came over me.

It'’s all right, buddy. It'’s
probably just an accident.

Besides, something
did happen at that house.

Did you actually see anything?

Yeah, I did. You know.

A little bit. I don'’t think "a little
bit" is gonna hold up in court.

Eat your cereal. But what
about that strange noise?

Oh, and that creepy light
coming from the attic?

George, you gotta tell
her. You gotta tell her!

Mom, my stinger fell off again.

Kara, honey, I'’ve already
sewn it on three times.

What kind of a bee
doesn'’t have a stinger?

A dead one. Honey,

just leave it here and I'’ll
sew it on again later, okay?

Ricky Jameson said it'’s
lucky no one called the cops.

Smooth move there, Pops.

Oh, be nice to your father.

Tell Ricky Jameson to
mind his own business.

Ow! Ben! Sorry.

What have I told you about
playing with this in the house?

Hey, Dad, check it
out. I made some modifications.

See that? That'’s pretty cool.

Let me show you.

Ooh, what'’s that? Zeus!

Hey, come here.
Come here, you. Come here.

Stop torturing the dog.

Cut it out. Okay, look.
Take that thing upstairs.

You get dressed for
school, take off your wings,

and then come back down
and have your breakfast, okay?

I'’m not even hungry either.
I'’m just gonna go to work.

Be careful, George, or they'’re
gonna put a cone on you.

You are not going anywhere
with that leg. Sit down.

Just call the office

and tell them that
you need the week off.

Sweet! It'’ll be you and
me, Georgie, all day long.

We can play fetch. You can rub
my belly, give me extra doggie treats.

Just try not to make a mess around
the house while you'’re here, okay?

Because Friday is our
Halloween housewarming party,

and it'’s our last chance to make a
good impression on the neighbors.

Okay.

All right. And stay
out of trouble, you.

Yeah, you hear that?

Honey? Yeah.

I was talking to you.

Oh. Okay.

Busted!

Stewey?

What? Put the egg down.

I'’m hungry. It'’s
an egg. Stop it!

Leave it alone.

We'’re gonna get
in trouble, okay?

We gotta make a good
impression. Let'’s go.

Here she comes.

All right, let'’s see,
we'’ve got Ted Stein

and Stewey McMahon.

Aren'’t you just
precious people?

Two counts of
breaking and entering.

Two counts of attempted theft.

Two counts of
animal endangerment.

I don'’t even want to
ask what that'’s about.

One count of vandalism of
public property. Quite the resume.

Thank you. I told you!

Um, Miss-- Ms. or Mrs.?

Mrs. is fine.

Miss Cloverfield, um,

I just want you to
know that Stewey and I

are very, very happy to be here.

Thank you very much for
giving us this chance, and, uh,

we plan on becoming very productive members
of society, and we thank you so much

for this opportunity.

And might I add,

you look very beautiful today.

Well, let'’s get one thing
perfectly clear, twinkletoes:

I don'’t like you.

I didn'’t like you before
I came in this room.

I don'’t even like you
before you were born.

I'’m not even sure
I like your mother.

So, what we'’re gonna do,
we're gonna start all over again.

This is gonna be a fresh
start for the both of you.

You will complete the
work release program.

Every single step.

And if I'’m lucky,

I will make upstanding
citizens of the two of you.

Otherwise, it'’s back
to prison for both of you.

And I don'’t mean
just a year this time

because this is my world,
baby, and in my world,

characters pay for their crimes.

Do you have that?

Now, got that out of the way.

Have I got the perfect
assignment for the two of you.

Thanks, Ted. Look
what you got us into.

Jackpot! Barbecue!
My favorite flavor.

Thank you, my friend. You know
what goes with this? A can of cola.

One cola coming right up.

Oh, do I got him trained.

Okay, here we go.
Just a little tug here.

Pull and, uh, bingo!

Hey, thanks, buddy.

What do you think?
Chappy marathon?

No wife, no kids, no work.

Sounds good to me. There we go.
Share the love. This is the life,baby.

One for you. Absolutely.

One for me. Love it. Mmm!
Come on, keep '’em comin'.

Let'’s go. Let'’s
have a contest.

Oh, I'’m on. Let's go.
Down. Mm! Here we go.

Umm. Best day ever!

Ah. How much TV can I watch?
How many chips can I eat?

What is it, Georgie?

How about some fresh air?

This is so much
fun. I wanna try.

That is the coolest
thing I'’ve ever seen!

Huh?

What?

I am hurrying.

George, George, no, no,
no. N-N-Not Mr. Weagle.

No, no, don'’t-- Oops.

What the-- What the heck?

Oh!

Oh!

Hey, honey, you'’re--

Bannister!

Sorry. My bad.

Uh, why don'’t we go inside?

George! Ahh--

He shouldn'’t
cry over spilt milk.

What'’s happening to this neighborhood?
I told you we should'’ve moved.

Hey, G-man!

Look what the cat dragged in.

Ah. What'’s up, Max?

Well, nice work last night.

Waking up the whole
neighborhood, maybe the whole town.

Way to impress your
new neighbors, duh!

Don'’t you work for a living?

Oh, come on, G-man!

You know I make
web sites at home.

What a nerd!

Which reminds me,

if the missus needs to
hit me up for a web site,

you just give me a jingle.

Give her a discount.

Okay. Yeah.

We'’ll be sure to let her know.

So, uh...

did you get a look at what
was going on up in there?

No, why?

Oh, come on.

Guy'’s been living
there nine months.

No one knows anything
about him. Nothing?

No one knows anything?

Is he living there alone?

Yes, he is.

With that creepy dog of his.

Creepy? More like psychotic.

If you ask me,

I think he'’s a mad scientist.

The postman tells me he gets
these mysterious packages,

some of them marked "hazardous."

You see, George? You see?

I told you I had a
bad feeling about him.

I mean, who knows what kind of weird
experiments he'’s performing up there.

You know, with... with...

eight-legged pigs,

or... flying gerbils.

Icks! Flying gerbils?

Uh, it'’s not too late to
move again, is it, George?

Uhh!

He could be up there right now.

Right now?

What?

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

Look, Mother, it'’s
that creepy neighbor.

Honey, look. What?

Come on. Come on. What,
what-- Wh-Who'’s that?

It'’s him.

It'’s her.

What is that?

I don'’t know.

I'’m telling you, Georgie,
this guy is bad news.

Those aren'’t dog biscuits.

Well, uh, listen,
I, uh, I gotta go.

There'’s a special one-hour
Judge Jimmy. I can'’t miss it.

Good luck.

And he wonders
why he'’s still single.

I'’m telling you, Zeus,

I don'’t know what's going
on, but something'’s afoot.

I think so, too,
Georgie. I think so, too.

Rusty, what'’s up, dawg?

Hey, kid, wanna play?

Look, out, ladies.
Oscar is on the prowl.

Hey, that'’s mine!
Get back here!

Finders, keepers.

I know I put that bone
in here somewhere.

I'’ll get it, I'll get it!

Gotcha! I got it! I got it!

Sanitation? Yoga?

You gotta be kidding me. We
should have just stayed in prison.

Over here. Got
a fresh one for ya.

I swear those dogs
are watching me.

It'’s all in your head, Stewey.

It'’s not in my head,
Ted! I don'’t like dogs.

I can swear they'’re watching me with
those brown, little beady eyes right now.

Of course we'’re watching
you. You'’re an idiot.

Get out of here. Why
don'’t you make me, tubby?

Shoo! This is our park!

I can'’t stand those dogs, Ted.

The feeling'’s mutual, pal.

Stewey, I was reading my book,

and it says that we are
stuck in what is called

a "self-destructive cycle."

Listen, Ted, I can'’t go
straight. You understand me?

I tried to go straight
before. I can'’t do it.

Relax. Stewey,
nobody'’s going straight.

Okay? We just have to find a
way to break the cycle. All right.

Push back a couple
years of bad karma,

and then-- whoo-whoop
foop-- we'’re on Easy Street.

Easy Street.

They got Chinese food on Easy
Street? They got burritos on Easy Street?

Probably. You better make
sure, '’cause I'm sick of this, Ted.

I been out a half hour.
You got me cleaning stuff.

You got me picking up dog poop.
You got me picking up garbage.

I can'’t do it no more. You got
me sweating up a storm. Look!

I'’m sweating, you
understand me?

Ew.

You got a little--
You got some--

What?

Did I get it?

Yeah, you got it.
Where you going?

I'’m talking to you.
I can'’t go clean.

I can'’t do it!
What'’s that smell?

Ted! Come back here, Ted.

Hah! And they call me fat.

Aren'’t we a little too old
to be carving pumpkins?

Ben, this is a Bannister
family tradition.

I did it with my dad,
he did it with his,

and now I'’m doing it with you.

What about me, George?
Don'’t I get a pumpkin?

Can'’t we do something fun?
Let'’s break out the Ouija board!

Absolutely not. It'’s not good
to mess around with that stuff.

Not with All Hallow'’s
Eve just around the corner.

There'’s no such things
as ghosts, right, Mommy?

Sure there are. Of
course not, sweetheart.

No, honey, there'’s no
such thing as ghosts.

Don'’t worry, Kara.
He'’s just pullin' your paw.

Aren'’t you, George?

Okay.

Zeus, the lights, please.

Oh, boy.

Here we go.

George? What?

What are you doing?

It'’s time Ben and
Kara knew about

the story of the
Hookmen from Halloween.

The what?

I don'’t think
that'’s a good idea.

It was a cold and quiet night,

George?

Much like the one... tonight.

Your mother and I
were going out on a date.

Don'’t listen to him.

We ran out of gas and broke down

just outside of town,

but it was right next
to the railroad tracks.

Choo-choo.

And as your mother
and I sat quietly in the car,

we heard a noise.

It was a thump...
and a thump.

And we thought,

it'’d get further
and further away.

And did it?

No. It got closer.

And closer, with a
thump and a thump.

Then I heard a noise.
It was metal on metal!

And as I looked
outside the window,

I saw...

What?

I saw a hook! Ah!

George! What?

You have scared her to death.

She'’s gonna have
nightmares now.

Belinda, it'’s a
Halloween story.

George!

Good going, Dad.

Ben, come on! You
love Halloween stories.

This whole family has
got to get in the mood.

Zeus, it wasn'’t
that bad, was it?

I'’m sleeping in your
bed tonight, George.

All right,
buddy, let'’s make it quick.

It'’s cold out here.

Oh, George, look.

Something'’s going on next door.

What'’s going on?

Who would'’ve thought of getting a
delivery in the middle of the night?

Okay, so the mail
guys got new uniforms?

Maybe it'’s new equipment
for his experiments.

I don'’t know.
That'’s not normal.

Okay, Georgie, we
have to tell somebody.

Yeah. I'’ll tell Belinda.

Come on.

Belinda, I'’m telling you, they
had this van that pulled up,

and these guys in robes
came out with this equipment,

and they were taking it out of the
van and bringing it to the creepy house.

Honey, it sounds like they were just
getting a delivery of some kind, okay?

I'’m gonna go to sleep. Okay?

You know Weird Max?

He said that the mailman told him
that this guy'’s some kind of scientist.

George?

Yeah? So what if
he is a scientist?

Yeah, like a crazy,
spooky Copernicus scientist.

George, I can see that you have
completely overreacted to the situation.

You have already completely
terrified your daughter.

Do you really want
to make it worse?

Yeah. I think our
daughter should be terrified.

It'’ll thicken the
Bannister skin.

There'’s some crazy stuff
going on over there, Belinda.

I'’m telling you, it
happened.Okay.

Okay, okay. Honey? It happened.

I believe you, okay?

Now, unlike you, I have to get
up and go to work in the morning.

So I'’m gonna go to sleep, okay?

Honey, listen to this.

"Two high-voltage
electron generators

were stolen from the Semaneck
power plant late last night."

Hmm.

You know what I'’m thinking?

Maybe that'’s what those guys
were carrying up to the house!

I knew he was no good.

Two high-voltage electron
generators. You know what that means?

They have enough
power... George.

Enough power to do what, Daddy?

Didn'’t you ever
see Frankenstein?

Enough power to get one of those

ultra-powerful hair dryers
like your mama wants.

Sweetheart, you just eat your
breakfast and don'’t listen to your father

because sometimes
he says crazy things.

I'’m telling you, this guy
is up to no good, Georgie.

We gotta be on high alert here.

Oh!

Can I come in?

Sure. Over there.

Something wrong
with the doorbell?

Hi. Hi.

Hi, Monique. Hi.

I hope I'’m not intruding.

Oh, no, not at all.

Can I get you some cereal or--

I know. How about some pants?

No, thanks, no.
I'’m not gonna stay.

I just wanted to find out if
any of you had seen Rufus.

Something happened to Rufus?

Is that a cat?

Yes. A very beloved cat.

He'’s been missing
since last night.

Last night? Huh?

Kent said he saw him playing with
you-know-who'’s dog after supper,

but he didn'’t answer the door.

I don'’t think he'’s
a people person.

Wait. Th-The
neighbor'’s dog? Uh-oh.

Anyway, if you wouldn'’t mind,

I'’d appreciate it if you'd
show these to anyone

who might know where my poor,
defenseless little pookie-poo is.

Sure thing, Monique.

Thanks.

Bye, George.

Bye, Monique.

Oh, goodness.
Well, that poor thing.

She just really
loves this little cat.

Sure hope she finds him.

Yeah, well, probably dead
and buried in someone'’s yard.

What was that? I just said
that the coffee is very good,

and Rufus is probably running
around someone'’s backyard.

Oh. Well, good. You can
just keep your eye out for him

while you'’re recuperating.

Oh! Honey!

Watch. That'’s the bad leg.

And promise me. Yeah?

No more snooping
around the neighbor'’s yard.

Okay, let'’s see what we got.

Wow! These toys are a lot
fancier than when I was a kid.

You'’re telling me.
My toys just squeak.

Okay, Eli Cole, show
me what you'’re up to.

So, what do you
see, Georgie? Anything?

All right, we got a bogey
in the southeast perimeter.

Man! Look at the security
system this psycho has.

Uh, what is that in the ground?

Looks like his dog likes
to dig, I'’ll tell you that.

Yeah, those would be
some pretty big bones there, George.

All right, let'’s check out
inside, see what we got.

What is that? That doesn'’t look
like a recipe for candied apples.

I want a turn,
Georgie. Let me look!

What the heck?

"Countdown to zero hour."

That doesn'’t sound good.

Where the heck did he go?

Whoa! How ya doin'’?

Hi. How are ya?

I, uh...

Sorry, I'’m birdwatching.
Little hobby of mine.

Nutjob.

You think he bought it?

Well, if something'’s
gonna go down in two days,

we'’re gonna have
to get inside, Zeus.

Uh, George, y-you mean
you actually wanna go...

inside the house?

Now, remember, Mommy,

I wanna go to every house
in the neighborhood this year.

Don'’t shortchange
me my candy, all right?

Nice outfits. Love the color.

Ted, how come we
can'’t go trick-or-treating?

You really want to risk our
freedom for a little bit of candy?

It depends. What
type of candy they got?

Remember what I told you about
being stuck in a self-destructive cycle?

Ted, you'’re starting to scare
me with the self-help stuff.

Do you really think it'’s
our destiny to be stuck here

picking up trash and dog
poop for the rest of our lives?

No!

No. So we gotta break the cycle.

I got plans. Big plans.
You got plans, right?

You still wanna open
up your little butcher shop

right there on the beach, right?

Yeah. Okay, so we finish

Miss Cloverfield'’s
stupid little program,

we'’re on the first flight to Daytona,
and we'’re hooking up with Tony Roe.

No more picking up dog poop.

No more picking up dog poop.

How you gonna do that?

I don'’t know. I'’ll
think of something.

Hey, what'’s up, buddy?

I want some! Me!
Me! No, no, no, no.

You can'’t have this.

This, my friend, is a
store-bought pumpkin pie

that we'’re gonna give to our
wonderful neighbor, Mr. Cole.

Ah! I see where
you'’re going with this.

Place it into the
pre-heated oven

for approximately five minutes.

Watch out, Julia Child.

And we have ourselves a
home-baked pumpkin pie.

Sneaky. I love it!

Hi. Hey.

What you doing,
Daddy? Oh, I just made

a little pumpkin
pie for Mr. Cole.

You just wanna
go inside his house.

Uh, well, you know what, son?

There'’s nothing wrong
with being a little neighborly.

Fine. Then we'’re
coming with you.

I don'’t think
that'’s a good idea.

Honey? What?

Take a look.

What?

Mmmgh! Look at that.

Come on, George. You
watch the cop shows.

We got a pie, not a warrant.

Hey.

I don'’t see any
sign of Cujo anywhere.

Godspeed, G-man.

Now or never, Zeus.

Why don'’t we just
friend him on Facebook?

Look, Daddy. He fixed
the scarecrow you broke.

Oh, yeah. What do you know?

Ugh!

That'’s disgusting! Eww!

Ugh!

Gross!

All right. Don'’t worry
about it now, Ben.

You sure we shouldn'’t
wait for backup?

Age before beauty, Daddy.

Huh? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, normally.

But in a situation
like this, honey,

you know, Daddy'’s
hands are full.

Maybe...

Cowards.

Aw, shucks. No one'’s
home. Let'’s get goin', guys.

Guess he wants us to come in.

Fine.
Everyone, follow me.

Mr. Cole?

George Bannister from next door.

George, uh, I think we
should get out of here,

Hello? Mr. Cole?

This is gonna be good.

Uh, we baked you a
nice, fresh pumpkin pie.

A little friendly thing.

Wait for me!

Here, buddy.

I don'’t believe that
they got nuts. I love nuts.

Look, Daddy. He'’s got fish.

Oh, yeah.

Sometimes they like
you to play with them.

Look, finger food! Ow!

Ah!

Dad, are you
okay? Zeusie!

Yeah, I'’m fine, Ben.

Boy!

I can'’t take you anywhere.

What is it, Daddy?

Rufus'’s collar.

Rufus? You mean,
Monique'’s missing cat?

Dad! Look. Over there.

Who'’s that?

Here.

Hey, Mr. Cole.

George Bannister.

These are my kids, Ben and Kara.

I was wondering
if you'’d like a--

Oh! How you doin'’?

What, you never saw
a skeleton before?

You'’re the new neighbors.

Yes. Yeah, I'’m
George Bannister.

And these are my...

my kids.

This is my son--

Kara, my daughter,

and Ben, my son.

And, of course, Zeus.

You know, like the Greek god.

I'’m Medusa, like the
Goddess of Death!

Oh, that'’s nice.

Eli Cole.

What are you doing in my house?

Trying to find out
what you'’re up to.

Well, we were just
out walking Zeus,

and we thought
we would come over

and bring you a nicely
fresh pumpkin pie

I baked for you.

I hate pumpkin pie.

Oh.

Medusa, why don'’t you
take Zeus and the children

and show them around,

while I entertain Mr. Bannister.

Come.

Here, honey.

If we'’re not back
in ten minutes,

call Search and Rescue.

Watch out for trapdoors.

This way, blondie.

Ladies first. Come on, kids.

Can I get you
anything? A Bloody Mary.

No, water'’s fine. Thank you.

You know, I was just
noticing your fish tank here.

I was wondering what
kind of fish you have in here.

Piranha. Oh, hey, piranha.

Here'’s your water.

Oh.

Yeah, I'’m sorry about that.

Sit. Oh, yeah, sure.

You'’re not thirsty?

Oh, no. No, I actually
had a big lunch, so...

Drink it.

Okay.

Quite a glass of
water you got there.

Cashews?

Cashews? No, thank you.

I don'’t like furry cashews.

Who you calling "furry"?

That'’s just
Shelley. She'’s harmless.

So, Mr. Bannister...

you'’re the one that destroyed
my display in the yard.

Yes, yes, I am, and
I'’m terribly sorry, sir.

It was an accident, and
I'’d be glad to pay you back.

Dr. Cole, is it?

Professor. And that
won'’t be necessary.

Oh. Okay.

Professor. Thanks.

Professor of, uh...

Paranormal research.

Oh, paranormal research. Oh!

Very sorry, sir, about that.

I didn'’t mean to... alarm you.

Sometimes I don'’t-- Oh!

This is quite a
house you got here.

You know, the workmanship is just--
You don'’t see this woodwork anymore.

The problem with
these homes is the attics.

Very drafty. I mean, we can
jump up there and take a look.

No. No.

Okay.

The house is settling.

So, anything you want
to tell me about Rufus,

the missing cat from
across the street?

What are you supposed
to be, some kind of cop?

Some kind of cop? No.
I'’m a retired K-9 police dog.

A police dog that'’s
afraid of thunderstorms?

You'’ve gotta be kidding me!

Hey, I wasn'’t afraid.

That'’s not what I saw.

Yeah? What about the strange
noises coming from your house at night?

Wanna say anything about those?

I'’m not gonna say another
word until my lawyer gets here.

That'’s fine, but just so you
know, I'’ll be watching you.

No, I'’ll be watching you.

Find anything?

I think I found a doll.

I noticed you'’ve had some kind
of a power drain or something.

I noticed a green
light upstairs.

Are you running any
kind of heavy machinery?

You'’re bugging
me with all these questions.

It'’s an old house. The
wiring needs to be redone.

Hmm. Interesting, because I
also heard some loud noises

late at night.

I find that Halloween

is a particularly
interesting time

for me to indulge my... talents.

I do most of the legwork.

Talents. Right.

And Halloween is about,
what, two days away?

Ew, Louise! I have an idea.

We'’re having a bit of a
get-together tomorrow night.

Halloween party for
the neighbors, you know.

Why don'’t you stop on by
and, you know, bring the wife?

Unfortunately, I'’ll be
working at the school lab

all night long. Bummer.

In fact,

if you don'’t mind, I'’ve really
got to be getting back to work.

Yeah. Okay. Well, I'’m
sure you have plenty to do.

And thank you for the
water. That was delicious.

It was a pleasure
meeting you, Professor.

Happy Halloween.

Oh! Yessiree.

Okay, kids, Zeus,
let'’s go! Come on!

Okay, take it easy.

I believe they'’re
starting to suspect.

Two days, Medusa.

Just two more days.

Would anybody happen
to know what this meeting is about?

Maybe he and the kids
saw something when they broke in next door.

I'’ll bet you 10 bucks
this is a waste of time.

Oh, honey, behave.

Good afternoon, guys. Some
of you are probably wondering

why I even called
this little meeting.

We'’re supposed to be
having dinner in the city. Sushi.

Yeah. What'’s
going on, Bannister?

Well, some of you might
recall that earlier in the week,

my friend Zeus and I

have heard some mysterious
noises coming from...

this house.

Not to mention a strange light

coming from the attic.

Was that before or after you
started crying like a little girl

and woke up the whole block?

Laugh as you will,

but let me tell you something.

This house belongs
to the one and only

Professor Eli Cole.

And his partner
in crime, Medusa.

Yes! I knew he was
a scientist. I knew it!

Except, Max, there'’s a problem.

I happened to call every
college within a 50-mile radius,

and no one has
heard of Eli Cole.

George?

Maybe you should
just get to the point.

Tell them about the
electron generators, George.

Please, Belinda, Exhibit A.

This you probably recognize

as a high-voltage
electron generator,

stolen from the Semaneck
power plant late last night.

Not one hour later, Professor Eli Cole
received a mysterious late-night delivery

with the same size
and description as this.

And the deliver guys were wearing
creepy robes. You should'’ve seen it.

Can you believe--

Exhibit B: Rufus.

Honey?Yeah.

Rufus. Sorry.

The cat, Rufus, missing

ever since the same
generator had been stolen.

I already told Monique I saw him
playing with Cole'’s dog. Uh-huh.

Oh, you did? You told Monique
that you saw him with Cole'’s dog?

Show them the collar, George.

Well, then, if that'’s the case,

then how is this in the house?

Rufus'’s collar!

That'’s right, Max.
Rufus'’s collar.

And also take a
look at Exhibit C.

Honey?

What is this?

Honey, that'’s Exhibit C.

Okay? Just pass it.

No, thanks.

What, did you blow
your nose in this?

That, my friend,
was taken off the shoe

of my son, Ben, after he
tromped in the yard of one Eli Cole.

No, it'’s true,
people! I was there!

And this is important, why?

This shows that there'’s evidence
that there's paranormal activity out there.

Please stop laughing.

Oh, this is evidence.

Evidence that you'’re
losing your mind.

Oh! Ooh.

Oh!

That'’s disgusting!

That'’s Evidence C!

Does anybody have a
Handi-Wipe or a Wet-Nap?

Oh, thank you. Hey...

Oh, he got slimed!
That'’s awesome.

Also, might I add, that
this gentleman has a chart

counting out the days to
something called "Zero Hour."

Do I know what it is? No, I
don'’t, but I'll tell you what.

I'’m not gonna put my family at risk,
and I don'’t think you should either.

And just what do you
propose we do about it?

I propose we go over there and see where
the proof is. All right? Who'’s with me?

That'’s it. I'’m out of here.

Come on. We need the Weagles.

Good night,
Bannister. Oh, Bruno.

We'’re outta here.

Come on. Good night, Bannister.

Edelsteins, please.

Oh, uh...

Keep it. Yeah.

Kent? Marilyn? It'’s okay.

Ohh... So you really
found this stuff in his yard?

Max, I'’m telling you,
this guy is up to no good.

All I need is the evidence.

Well, let me know
when you find it.

I wouldn'’t go near that
place if you paid me.

Bye. Can you believe that?

Are you pleased
with yourself, George?

Do you see what you'’ve done?

Belinda, I feel very strongly
about this stuff, okay?

Oh, George.

Where you going? We live here.

George, let '’em go. You
and me can stop this guy.

I need some time to
think. Let'’s go to the park.

Give me that.
What are you doing?

I can'’t control myself.
Stop it! Give me the stick!

Do you want to go back to
jail? Just give me the stick.

Will these two
just give it a rest?

I can'’t believe it. I mean,
not even Max seemed to care.

He'’s scared, George.

They probably all are.

Yeah, well, I just
thought getting out

would clear my mind, but I
can'’t stop thinking about it.

Someone'’s got to help
us get into that house.

No! Can'’t be.

I need the stick!

Hey.

Zeus, look at that.

Aren'’t those the two guys
that broke into our house

and stole Bella?

Oy vey. What are they doing?

Yeah. I think it is.

You know what? You'’re
right. Let me at '’em, George.

Stop it! You hear that?
You hear that dog barking?

It'’s a dog barking! No, no, no.
That'’s a familiar bark right there.

It'’s every dog bark-- We'’re in
a dog park! Give me the stick!

What a coincidence.

What are the odds? Do
you know what this is?

It'’s a really bad idea.

No! This is a sign, buddy.

We'’re finally gonna find
out what'’s inside that house.

Look, I'’m all in favor of
bringing this guy down,

but there has got
to be another way.

Look. Just let me
do all the talking.

My lips are sealed.

Hey! Would you pull
yourself together, okay?

We'’re gonna be late for our
next appointment. We have to go?

Yes, we have to go!

Stop it! Let
go! Let me take it.

Stop it! Let it go now!

Excuse me. Guys.
It'’s him! It's them!

That'’s the
guy who put us in jail!

And if it was up to
me, you'’d still be there.

Relax, relax, relax.

I was just out walking
my dog Zeus here, and...

I noticed that you were
picking up some dog poop.

Yes, sir, Mr. Bannister.

That'’s part of our probation.

We are trying to become more
productive members of society.

So, we'’re not doing
anything wrong.

Oh, well, fantastic.

That goes right in line
with what I have to say.

You know, it'’s kind of crazy,

but I have a little bit
of a proposition for you.

Do you got a
moment to hear it out?

Don'’t do it. Don't
do it. I don'’t trust him.

Do you mind if I confer with
my associate for one second?

Sure. Yeah.

Okay? You hear my stomach?

I'’m anxious. My
stomach is never wrong.

Okay, listen. Them
being here. Us being here.

Okay, I think this is destiny.

No, it'’s trouble. No. Okay.

We'’re the unstoppable
force, right? No.

We'’re the unmovable object. No,
what happens when two forces--

opposing forces-- collide?

You call your
insurance company. No.

They reverse direction.

I got that good canine
hearing thing, George,

and I'’m telling you,
these guys are trouble.

This is our chance
to change everything.

No more bad luck.
Okay, no more probation.

No more picking up dog poop!

You sure? Yes.

Mr. Bannister, we'’d like to
hear what you have to say,

but we'’re late for
our next appointment.

Okay, well, I'’ll tell you what.

Zeus and I have nothing to do. Why don'’t
we go with you on the next appointment?

What kind of an
appointment is it?

Hey, why are we here again?

Court-ordered. And there'’s
a lot of hot chicks here. Psst!

She don'’t like me
'’cause my "chi's" cloudy.

Stewey, how many times I gotta
tell you, it'’s not "chi," it's "chee."

Ugh! Someone,
please, crack open a window!

And coming to your
hands and knees.

Inhale,

and thread your right
arm through your left.

What kind of
position is this? Mr. Bannister,

what is it that you
wanted to talk to us about?

I want you guys to break
in to my neighbor'’s house.

What? Shh!

I told you this was a bad idea.

Sorry.

Look, it'’s really important.

This guy'’s up to something bad.

I don'’t know what
it is. I gotta find out.

Ted, I don'’t like it. I
don'’t like it, Ted. Shh.

Oh, well, they'’re not
interested. Time to go.

You guys are gonna be heroes.

You'’re not doing anything
wrong. You'’re not stealing anything.

You'’re gonna break in, find the
evidence that I need to put him away,

and that'’s it.

Ted, I always wanted to
be a hero. You know that.

And coming to fire log pose.

I don'’t know
about this, Mr. Bannister.

We'’re already on probation.
It'’s a huge risk for us.

I'’ll pay you guys. Wait,
you'’re gonna pay these guys?

How much? Hey!

Let the man make an offer.

I don'’t know. How
much you want?

How '’bout some
candy? Stewey, really?

It'’s Halloween. I got no candy.

Okay, fine. Candy.

Now, wait a minute.
What about me?

Coming in to
downward facing dog.

Finally, my kind of pose!

I just want to make sure
you guys are in or not.

How '’bout some
peanut butter cups?

Deal. Get you a whole case.

What? I know how to negotiate.

When?

Tonight.

This is the address.

I'’m gonna get outta here. I got a little
stomach issue going on. Come on, Zeus.

All right, people, move
it. Canine coming through.

Right leg forward into pigeon.

Ted, I can'’t get out of this.

Ted, I can'’t get out of this.

Namaste.

And a very Namaste to you, too.

Oh... Oh, boy.

There you are, George.
You are just in time to help me

with all these decorations
for the party tonight.

Yeah, I got a little situation
going on right now. You what?

Yeah, some business stuff
I'’m gonna go take care of,

but I'’ll do that
in a day or so.

Okay. All right.

All right, Zeusie. Zeusie,
you wanna help me?

Oh, good boy.
Always happy to help.

Go ahead. Go help
George with whatever'’s...

Here'’s the place, Ted.

Look at that house, Stewey.

Forget the house, Ted.
Look at the decorations.

I bet they have good
candy there for Halloween.

Popcorn balls and peanut brittle

and candied apples
and chocolate mo-mos.

When I go trick-or-treating,
that'’s exactly where I'm going.

We'’re not going
trick-or-treating, Stewey.

Ted, you hear that?

Bannister didn'’t say
nothing about no dog, Ted!

Don'’t worry about the
dog. I'’ll handle the dog.

That'’s what you said
the last two times, Ted.

Stewey, I swiped a
couple of sleeping pills

from Miss Cloverfield'’s purse.

Okay? A couple of
pills, little juicy sausage.

Night-night, doggy.

You got sausage?
Can I have some?

No, Stewey!

We got movement.

That'’s him.

Ted, look at that.

Ho-ho!

Hallelujah.

A load like that,
Stewey, we could retire.

Ted, Ted, Ted.

You said you weren'’t
gonna take nothing, Ted.

That'’s not nothing, Stewey.
That'’s a trunk full of solid gold.

Our luck, it'’s changing. It'’s going
good now. Come on, Stewey. Look at that!

Ted, I can'’t go back to
jail. I told you that before.

I told that lady at the office
before. I'’m not going back to jail!

We'’re not going back to jail!

If we get caught, which
we'’re not gonna get caught,

we pin it on Bannister.

He hired us. It'’s
all on him. Hmm?

Ted, I told you before: You always
know how to make me feel better.

Don'’t touch me, Stewey. Ted,
can I just trick-or-treat real quick?

No trick-or-treating. Let'’s get out
of here. We'’ll come back at dark.

What'’s wrong with
you? You'’re no fun, Ted!

That'’s what the problem is.

Mmm-mwah!

Oh, good, you have some-- Oh,
Good and Bad. I gotcha.

Oh, I love your
costumes. Thanks.

Wow. Did you make that yourself?

Yes, I actually did. I sure did.

Oh, oh, hey, kids, kids,
no running in the house!

They'’re excited. Oh,
come on in, come on in.

What a wonderful job
you'’ve done. Welcome.

Oh, well, thank you. There'’s punch
here on the table and cupcakes.

We'’ve got games in the other
room and pizza in the kitchen.

Just make yourselves at home.

George! George,
the Weagles are here.

Okay, honey, tell the
Weagles I'’ll be right there.

Or not.

All right, here
we go. All set up.

This is looking good, buddy.

Zeus, where are you? Zeus!

What'’s the matter, buddy?

I told you. I'’m
afraid of thunder.

Aw, come on. The thunder,
isn'’t it? And the lightning.

Don'’t worry about it. Little
thunderstorm. Be over in a second.

That'’s easy for you to say.

Peanut Butter, this is Jelly.

Peanut Butter, this is
Jelly. What'’s your twenty?

Twenty? Peanut Butter?

Pea-- Is this Ted?

Put Ted on.

Gimme-- Shh!

Ted, where are you?

Jelly, this is Peanut Butter.

We'’re moving
into position. Over.

I smell intruders.

Ted, the dog! Shh-shh!

The dog, Ted. Shh!

What'’s that, Ted? Sausage.

Give me some. I'’m
hungry. Give me that!

It'’s got sleeping pills in it.

That'’s all right.
I'’ll eat a little bite.

Stop it!

Here you go.

Three, two...

Eh?

You go in there first.
I'’m scared of the dog.

Sleeping.

Close it, close it.
Close it, Stewey.

All right, Stewey,
give me the clippers.

No. I'’m cutting this this time.

Give me the clippers, Stewey.

No. Don'’t you
remember those houses

over on the north end, those
high-end alarm systems?

I remember, and
we almost got caught.

Let me do this. I worked for
an electrician for three months.

Watch this. Move over.

Careful. Wanna
pick the right one.

Ted! Let go of it,
Stewey. Let go!

Ted! Ted!

Ted! Ted! Ted!

You okay?

Stew-Stewey. You okay?

Huh? You all right?

Your heart okay?

Yeah. Okay.

What just happened?

Okay, let'’s go.

What was that? Are
you guys all right?

G-George!
Someone'’s coming.

Come in. Hey.

Mom'’s looking for
you. Okay. Yeah.

Zeus and I are getting just the
final touches on our costumes.

We'’ll be right out. We definitely
weren'’t spying on the neighbor'’s house.

Jelly,
this is Peanut Butter. Over.

What was that? What was what?

Whatever. It'’s just-- Mom
wants you to talk to the guests.

Okay. I'’ll be out in a second.

I'’ll be mingling like crazy.

Okay. Okay.

Whew! Oh, Zeus. That
was a close one, buddy.

Not sure I can be by your
side on this one, Georgie.

All right. I'’m gonna go
mingle with the guests.

You stay here, okay?
You gonna be all right?

I'’ll keep my eye on Ted
and Stewey over there.

Awesome. Man the fort.

Okay, wait for me, Georgie!

All right. I learned
this in Europe.

What, the slow part of
Europe? Give me this.

Stewey-- Let me show
you how we do it in Harlem.

Watch this. Stewey,
no, no, no. Don'’t, don't.

Stew--

Okay.

Ted, I did it! Okay, okay.

Stop. Give me a flashlight.

I didn'’t bring no flashlight.

You forgot the flashlights? You didn'’t
tell me to bring no flashlight, Ted.

It'’s a nighttime job, Stewey!

How are we supposed
to see what we'’re doing?

Turn on the lights.
There'’s no power.

There'’s got to be a candle
around here somewhere. I'’ll find it.

You better find it!

Aha!

Good.

See? I'’m happy I
shoplifted that lighter.

Ted. This place looks
like a haunted mansion.

Stewey,

there'’s no such
thing as ghosts!

Ted! Look!

Stewey! No funny business, okay?
Remember what we'’re here for!

What are we looking for? I
thought we were trick-or-treating.

How about a trunk of gold?

Okay? Or anything
else out of the ordinary.

Like what Mr. Bannister said.

Okay.

Ted!

What? Nothing.

What'’s wrong with you?

It'’s all in your
head. Knock it off!

Are you sure? Yes, I'’m sure.

Jelly, this is Peanut Butter. Jelly,
this is Peanut Butter. Come in.

We swim 50 laps every morning.

Mm-hmm. Twenty
more after dinner.

I bet you can'’t doggy-paddle,
though, can you?

Jelly, this is Peanut Butter.

Jelly, this is
Peanut Butter. Over.

Excuse me for a second.

Yeah, yeah, Peanut
Butter, this is Jelly. Go.

Okay, we'’re inside.
Okay, what you'’re

looking for is
probably in the attic.

Okay, we got it. Over and out.

I don'’t-- George, George.

Yeah, honey.

Is everything okay?

Is anything ever just
okay with this family?

Yeah. Great.

Is that a walkie-talkie?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Honey, who you talking
to? Nobody, honey.

It'’s just a toy. You
know, a little pirate radio?

Uh, really, George?

Ted, Ted, Ted, hold on.

Quit being such a baby.

Ted, I'’m scared, not a baby.

Ted, I hate spiders
more than I hate dogs!

Hey, what did we ever do to you?

Ted, wait for me.

Stewey, stop! Ted, I'’m scared.

Nothing to be scared of.

Ted? I think this house
is haunted, Ted. Ted!

What? It'’s haunted.
I'’m telling you.

You'’re haunted, Stewey!
You'’re haunting me!

Now, be quiet.
Let'’s get this done.

George. Yeah.

Honey, you'’re
acting very strange.

Even for you. What is going on?

Nothing, Belinda.
Everything'’s great.

I mean, come on. This
is a strange holiday.

You'’re out of
punch here, G-man.

Oh, hey, sorry, Max.
I'’m gonna go grab that.

Listen. You stay
with the guests.

You look delightful,
Little Bo something.

And, you know,
have a good night.

Come on, Zeus. Coming!

Honey--

Georgie, you see
anything? What'’s going on?

Man, I don'’t see
anything out there. No sign.

Peanut Butter, come in. I'’m not
seeing anything. Where are you guys?

Peanut Butter, this is Jelly.

Where are you? What'’s going on?

Ha!

Ah! Hey! Stop messing
around with that junk!

Let'’s find the gold. I
looked for it already.

I think the ghost stole it.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

There'’s no such
thing as ghosts!

Ah! Stewey! It won'’t
open! It won'’t open!

It won'’t open! Try the other
door! Try the other door!

Come on, Ted! Ted!

Ted, I'’m stuck!

Stewey! Push!

I'’m pushing! Ted, push!

I'’m pushing. I'’m pushing!

Ted, the dog!

Pull back, Ted!

I'’m pulling. I'’m pulling!

Pull. Pull!

What was that?

What'’s the matter, buddy?

Aw, the storm, huh?

The storm bothering
you? It'’ll be over soon.

George, promise me you won'’t
say a word to the other pets.

Oh. Something must
have happened to you.

It was my first day on the job.

My partner and I chased
a burglar into this building

during a storm, and
when I heard the thunder,

I thought it was the
burglar shooting at us.

I was so scared, I ran to hide.

My partner trusted me. He
needed me. And what did I do?

I let the bad guy get away.

Do you know what
us Bannisters do?

We count. Count?

That'’s right, buddy.

We count the seconds after we
see the lightning until the thunder.

And then the longer
the seconds take,

the further the storm.

I hope so.

Nothing to worry about.

We'’ll tear this place
apart till we find that gold.

Ted, I'’m coming with you.

You go that way. I'’m
gonna go this way.

Stewey, it'’s...

a bookshelf?

Where is this attic?
This is ridiculous.

Come on. Keep looking, Stewey!

Stewey! I'’m tired, Ted.

Ted! Ted! Ted!

Look, Ted!

Stewey! Oh, great job, Stewey.

This has got to be it. It'’s a
secret door. How do you--

Ted, in the movies, they usually
have like a key in the book thing.

Move the books.
It'’s gotta be here.

Maybe there'’s a secret
lever or something.

Ted, look. Colorado.
Skiing. Fun times.

I don'’t like Colorado no more.

Stewey, come on.Ted.

You always said I was
an unstoppable force.

Move out of the way. I'’m
going through this door.

All right, Stewey. Get it.

Go get it. Get
it, Stewey, get it!

Look at that, Stewey!
It'’s open, Ted.

No, no, let me.

Ted, I'’m scared.
Don'’t be scared.

A little bit of gas, Ted.

Ted.

Ted.

Ted, wait for me.

Ted, I thought you said
you shut the lights off. I did!

Then how come there'’s lights
still on? I don'’t know, Stewey!

I'’m not a doctor! Ted, look.

That looks like my eyeball.

Look at this place, Ted.

Ted, I don'’t know. I
think Bannister was right.

This place is like one
big haunted movie.

Stewey.

There is it.

Isn'’t that the most beautiful thing
you'’ve ever seen in your entire life?

I could cry. Don'’t cry, Ted.

I could cry. This is it.

Stewey, this is everything
we'’ve ever dreamed of.

Everything I ever
wanted. This is--

It'’s--

It'’s candy! Ah!

Ted, it'’s candy! Look!

No, this can'’t be happening.

It'’s happening, Ted!
Fun time for Stewey!

Stewey! Stewey, no,
no! Don'’t close it! Stewey!

Stewey! Stewey!

The door! Stewey, it closed!

I want to go home! I want to
go home! I want to go home!

I want to go home! Mommy!

Mommy, I want to go
home! I want to go home!

Ted! Ahhh!

There'’s spiders!

Peekaboo!

Ted! Ted!

Ted! Ted!

Ted! No! Stewey,
Stewey, don'’t let it close!

Great, Stewey! Now
we'’re both stuck in here.

Oh, boy.

George, I hear a car.
I think he'’s coming.

Gotta go, Zeus. Gotta go.

You better stop him
before he gets in his house.

10-4.

I'’ll just be here
waiting for you.

Ben! George, George,
George! There you are.

I thought you were getting
the punch. What punch?

What are you talking about?
Oh, punch. I'’m getting it.

What do you think I'’m
doing? Hey, listen, Ben.

You and Kara are gonna
distract Mr. Cole, all right?

What? What what?

Don'’t say "what?" I
have a walkie-talkie!

I'’m running this operation!
Don'’t let him in the house!

Heads up! Heads up!

I got an idea. Follow me.

Kids, kids, where you go--
Wings, wings, wings, wings!

Uh... would anyone
like to bob for apples?

What strange neighbors.

Maybe the storm is over.

You can do it, Zeusie.

Come on, baby, just count.

Just like Georgie
said. One Mississippi,

two Mississippi,
three Mississippi--

Uhhh!

Whoops.

Excuse me. I'’d
like to go home now.

Excuse me!

Now we'’re talkin'.

Mom'’s not gonna like this.

Hey, kids, what are you
doing out here in the...

thunderstorm?

H-Hey. Hey, Medusa.

Hey! Nice doggy!

Nice doggy didn'’t come
to work today.

Watch this.

Go right. Go right!

Now left. Now left!

I'’ll get you! Get back here!

You in the pirate costume! I'’m
talking to you. Get back here!

All right, I'’m gonna try.

Here we go. Yeah!

Go! Look at him go!

Hey, girl. Fetch.

Is that a toy for me?
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

He is so scared. Look at him go!

Whoa! That'’s it!
I'’m calling the cops!

I gotta get back to the
telescope, see what'’s going on.

Dad'’s gonna be in trouble.

What is going on out here? You--

Benjamin and Kara Bannister, you
will listen to your mother right now,

or you will both be
grounded until Christmas.

Dad asked us to
distract Mr. Cole.

What? Why would he do that?

Look, both of you, inside
right now. Get back inside.

Go. Ben.

Oh, George.

You have got to be kidding me.

Ted. Stewey.

Don'’t see that every day.

Ted. Stewey.

Ted.

Stew-- Ooh! George!

Belinda, what are you doing
here? What am I doing here?

What are you doing
here? I'’m, uh, actually, uh--

George, George, we have
to go. I'’m helping with Cole.

Mr. Cole is right outside in the
front. He could come in at any minute.

What? Are you-- Yes, Ge--

George, is that-- is
that organ playing itself?

Yes, it is. I told you, there'’s
weird stuff going on in here.

I was right all along,
Belinda. You were right.

Yes, I was right. Listen. I gotta take
care of some stuff. What do we do?

Trust me. Take care
of what stuff? George!

George-- George!

George. George.
No, George, outside.

Outside is that way.
Better stay close, honey.

I kind of really
think we should go.

George! George!

The doors are
opening and closing.

Belinda, that'’s what
doors do. Guys?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is there
someone else here? Guys?

George! We'’re back
here! Wait. Who is that?

George, George. Wait for
me! Wait for me, George!

Guess what,
everybody! I found Rufus!

Hello? Hello!

Rufus. Uh-oh.

Ted. Ted!

I'’m behind the bookcase!

George, what is going on? What?

Nothing. There'’s a
hidden door, Belinda.

Who are you
talking to? My wife!

Who are you talking to?

Ted and Stewey.

The two guys who
broke into our house?

Yeah. I hired them to
break into this house.

George, have you
completely lost your mind?

I just have to figure out how
to move this stupid bookcase.

Thing opens up. I
don'’t know where.

Have you tried pushing it? Huh?

Well, not yet, but I
was gonna do that.

Uh-huh. Yeah. If you weren'’t
here arguing with me the whole time.

Oh, George.

I'’m looking for
the door that...

George? It'’s right
behind you. Yeah?

Yeah, thought so. All
right, thank you. Step back.

Zeus, where'’d everybody go?

Pinch my tuchus and
call me Sally! You'’re alive!

Of course I'’m
alive. What did you think?

We all thought you were a goner.

No. I finished
playing with Medusa,

and I decided to go
for a stroll in the woods.

It was such a nice day,
and I walked and walked

until I didn'’t know
where I was anymore.

Aren'’t cats supposed to
have a keen sense of direction?

If you tell anyone,
I'’ll kill you.

So, if you'’re
alive, that means...

Oh, boy.

Zeus, what is it?

There comes a time
in every dog'’s life

where you'’ve got to grab the
situation with your paws and take control.

Storm or no storm, George
and Belinda are inside that house,

and I'’m not about to let
anything happen to them!

It'’s time to face my
fears and save Halloween!

Where are you going?

Where do you think
you'’re going, blondie?

Get out of my way. I need to get
inside the house and save my owner.

He thinks you did
something to Rufus.

Rufus? Please!

I couldn'’t hurt him.
He'’s my sweetheart.

Say what? I'’ve been head
over heels for that hunk

since the day we moved in.

T.M.I. Look, just let me in,

and I promise I'’ll explain
everything to you later.

Fine. Thank you.

Good luck, blondie.
Stop calling me that!

Have no fear, Zeus is here!

Hello! George!

Belinda!

Where are you guys?

Don'’t be scared.
It'’s just a storm.

Here we go.

One Mississippi,
two Mississippi...

Talk about some
bad gas! Ye-ouch!

Hey, guys, can you
hear me? Rufus is alive!

Jeepers creepers!

This house really is haunted.

What are you lookin'’
at, Sir Rust-alot?

Wait a minute.

What, does this ghost
run on electricity?

Hey! Hello!

Yo! Anybody in there?

Hey! Hello! Hmm...

Ha! Not so spirited
now, are you? Tough guy.

An off switch.

This looks fun.

Never had one lesson.

Ha. That dog wasn'’t half bad.

Hello? Where are you guys?

I
can do it. I can do it.

Come on. One
Mississippi, two Mississippi.

It'’s all in your head.
It'’s all in your head.

Okay, that'’s not in my
head! Guys, where are you?

Is that Zeusie?

Zeus! Zeusie! Zeus!
Zeus, in the attic!

Hang on, George.

Zeus is coming to the rescue!

All right, there'’s got to be some kind of
hidden door behind this shelf somewhere.

Push, push! Push, push, push!

Come on, Zeusie!

Now to find a way to
keep it from closing.

Got it! Here I come!

Oh, good doggy! Zeus!

Georgie, I did it!

I conquered my fear of thunder.

Now we can finally
get out of here.

Not so fast.

There'’s something
you need to see.

What is it, Zeusie?

Ugh. Oh, brother.

Dude, that is
one scorchin'’ sunburn!

The mutt'’s
trying to tell us something.

What is it, Zeusie?

You ready for
this? Check this out.

What is that we'’re looking at?

That'’s the house.
Look at that. Every room.

He'’s been staging
everything the whole time.

Don'’t you understand?
Between the monitor

and the board, don'’t
you understand, guys?

Whenever somebody
uses parentheses

and shapes we'’re
not familiar with,

it means they'’re
up to something.

"Countdown to zero hour."

You know what
this means, Belinda?

Yes, George. Haunted house.

You know, Belinda, I
don'’t even know why I ask.

George? Yeah?

Turn it around. What'’s that?

Turn it around.

"Haunted house plans"?

How do you explain
the generators?

None of this was real.

I don'’t understand that.

This is the police. We
have the house surrounded.

Come out with your
hands up! Uh-oh. Coppers!

That sounds pretty real to me.

Real, real, real, and
I'’m not going back to jail.

They'’re gonna go! You!

We'’re not going to jail.

We didn'’t do anything, right?

You and your wife, Miss Bo Peep.

We work for you. I got
no time for this stuff.

I can'’t go to
jail. I'’m a minor.

There'’s an exit for ya.

Why am I not surprised?

You'’re a nightmare, Bannister.

You broke in the house.
You belong behind bars.

Daddy!

Hey, honey. Listen.

Your dad might be going
to the slammer for a little bit.

Just make sure you'’re good to
your court-appointed guardian, huh?

I'’ll look after them
for you, G-man.

Yeah. Not in a thousand years.

Officers, arrest this man.

On what charge?

Monique, Rufus'’s collar,
we found it in the house.

Georgie, about that, um...

Oh, Mr. Cole brought
him back this afternoon.

He'’d found him lost in the
woods behind his house.

He'’s fine. See?

Weagles, you were
at my meeting, right?

The electron generators that were
stolen that night, how do you explain it?

Come on, Bannister.
That meeting was bogus.

And I want my easel back.

They found those
generators last night.

Yeah, a couple of
lowlifes were out looking

for copper wire or
something. That'’s all it was.

George, we should probably
quit while we'’re ahead here.

Okay, how about this?

I happened to call around
to all the colleges in the area.

No one has ever heard
of Professor Eli Cole.

Oh, yeah! How do you
like them apples, Professor?

You called? Sure did.

And you called and
you asked for Eli Cole?

You got that right.

Well, Eli'’s my nickname.

My real name is Cornelius.

I'’m Professor Cornelius
of the drama department.

Seriously, George?

Well, he'’s good.

Mr. Cole, would you
like to press charges?

Officer, I think this is a
big misunderstanding.

Yeah, a big, big, big
misunderstanding.

Yeah. Yes.

Now, look,

I feel partially
responsible for this.

My work and my preoccupation,

I realize I could
have done a better job

at introducing myself to you,
rather than, you know, bugging you.

Oh...

I do this every year,
this haunted house,

for my nieces and
nephews and their friends.

I enjoy them enjoying my
little, well, special effects.

You know that truck
that came, that delivery?

Yeah. Well,
those are just props.

Props?

Didn'’t you notice
that the guys,

these messengers,

they had theatrical costumes on.

Yeah, I just thought they were--

On second thought,

they were kind of
strange uniforms.

Professor Cole, on behalf
of the entire Bannister family,

I want to apologize for everything
that has happened here tonight.

Right, George?

What about the-- Right, George?

Yes, yes. Apology accepted.

That'’s great. Can we get
these off, please? Thank you.

Thank you
so much. Thank you.

Hey, what'’s that?

Hey. That'’s mine.

How'’d that get there?

Officer, a ghost! What?

Wait. Come here. Hey! Get '’em!

See you in nine to twelve months,
goofballs! Send me a postcard!

I had nothing to do with that.

Hmm...

Listen, we'’ll all get together.

Everybody will come
over for swimming.

We have our own pool.

Busy. Yeah, thanks.

Monique!

Great job, Columbo.

We'’ll be seeing you
when you get back, genius.

Kent, Marilyn.

Hey, Weagle, give
me a call tomorrow.

Yeah, if your phone
doesn'’t ring, it's me.

Come on, George. Let'’s go home.

And I'’ll make you some of
your favorite pumpkin cookies.

With the chocolate
in it? Mm-hmm.

Arrr! Oh, George!

And you, too, Zeusie. I'’m gonna
make you something very special.

Because you saved
Halloween. You did.

He sure did.

All in a day'’s work.

Come on.

Ahh! This is the life!

Well, if this isn'’t the cutest
bunch of ghosts and goblins

you'’ve ever seen!

Hey! Who wants to
go trick-or-treating?

Yeah!

Oh! Somebody'’s at the door.

Trick-or-treaters. Yay!

Trick or treat!

Oh, hi!

I have got Grandma'’s
homemade pretzels for you guys.

Well, thanks, but can
I have some more?

That'’s all I got. You sure?

Those look yummy.

Oh, good. Thanks!

You'’re welcome.

Bye-bye. Have fun.

Happy Halloween.

Hey, guys!

Hey, Mom.

Well, hello! Happy Halloween.

Hi, Grandma!

Come on. We'’re just about to
go trick-or-treating. You, too, Zeus.

Ooh! I'’m gonna go
get my costume on.

Hey, guys, so how'’s
everything with the new house?

Not good. Not
good. Well-- George!

He had a little problem with
the man who lives next door.

Oh. Huh. So, you know...

Maybe he'’s single.

He'’s definitely single.

Bannister. Zeus Bannister.

What'’s up, Doc?

I'’m here to audition
for the Black Swan.

You like to eat wampum?

I'’ll take a kibble,
shaken not stirred.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

You ain'’t nothin' but
a hound dog, baby.

I can'’t ear you.

That looks perfect. Thanks, Dad.

Guys, check me out.

Speaking of perfect,
look at this guy!

I'’m licensed to trick-or-treat.
What do you think?

Can we please go
trick-or-treating now?

Yes, honey. No,
no, no, no, no, no!

No, wait until I take a picture

of my little munchkins first.

Who you callin'’ munchkin?
I'’m a certified K-9.

Hey, Belinda, come
out of the kitchen!

Just putting some treats in
the oven. You go right ahead.

Yeah, maybe we
should do it later.

I'’ll get a picture
of her later.

Everybody, come on.

Ready? Ahh!

Oh!
Somebody'’s a the door.

Trick-or-treaters!

Hold on. Let me get the door.

Trick or treat!

A little too old to go
trick-or-treating, aren'’t you?

No.

I mean, no.

Uh, yeah, uh-huh. I'’m
gonna say that you are.

No, no, no!

I'’m gonna call the
police. I promise you.

Get away from here!

Don'’t call the police.

Does she look familiar to you?

That'’s the
fourth house in a row.

I told you, you'’re too old!

Give me some eggs.

We egged the last house.

Give me the toilet paper then.

All right, fine.
Here you go. Ahh!

Well, Ted, Ted,
wait up! Come here!

Okay, guys. Come on.

Let'’s all group together

and take this picture
before you go out.

All right, now, on
the count of three

I want everybody in
their witchiest of voices

to say "Happy Halloween!"

Happy Halloween!

That'’s a good voice,
but wait till I say "three."

All right. Ready?
One, two, three!

Happy Halloween!

Oh, that'’s great!

What are you guys waiting
for? Come on. Let'’s go!

All right, let'’s go.
Come on, everybody!

Yay! Oh, my goodness!

Yo, Roscoe, wanna
hear a joke, buddy?

Oh, brother.

Aw, come on. Knock, knock.

Who'’s there?

Philip.

Philip who?

Philip my bag with candy.

Ah ha ha ha! See?
I knew you'’d like it.

Come on. Let'’s
go trick-or-treating.

Yeah!

Come on. Let me hear it now!

Come on! Whoo!

Go!
