"The party was a merry one.

"Ichabod crane was at his best when
he danced with Katrina Van tassel.

"Ichabod ate heartily,

"then he went out on
the porch with the men

and exchanged sleepy
hollow ghost stories."

I want to go
with you and Mary.

You're too little.

This is the night that the
ghosts and goblins are out.

I can run fast.

Not as fast
as ghosts.

Listen.

"Ichabod started home
on the gaunt gunpowder."

That's the name
of his horse.

"Ichabod saw something
huge and white under a tree.

Laura: "He called,
but got no answer.

"Ichabod's hair
stood straight on end.

"The stranger.

"It looked like
a headless horseman,

"but it seemed to hold
its head on the cantle.

Laura: Kept pace with
him fast or slow."

He didn't have
any head?

Not where it should be.
It was in his hands.

Laura: "Ichabod
was so frightened..."

thank you,
darling.

Laura: "When he reached the bridge,
he heard the horseman close in on him.

"As he turned to look,
the spirit threw its head at ichabod.

He tried to dodge,
but the head tumbled him into the dust."

If she doesn't hurry, it will be time
to get back before we even leave.

I know the story.
She's almost done.

"But ichabod was never seen
in sleepy hollow again."

What happened
to him?

I don't know.
That's the end of the story.

Good night.

Hey, remember, you two,
I want you home by 9:30.

We don't have
a watch.

You've got a clock right in the sky.
It's a full moon tonight.

When it climbs high enough to
peek over the top of the trees,

it'll be 9:00,
time for you to start home.

We'll
watch it.

All right.
Got your soap?

Yep.

All right, scoot. Have a good time.
Watch out for ghosts.

Laura: There
aren't any ghosts.

On Halloween Eve? I
wouldn't be so sure.

- Ha ha! Bye.
- Have a good time.

I never thought I'd see you
encourage soaping windows.

Well, it's not my
idea, it's oleson's.

See, the kids
have fun doing it,

and then he doesn't have to
supply the soap the next day

when he washes
the windows.

Oh!

Carrie: It's too dark.
I'm scared.

I knew it. Those
ghost stories.

What's wrong,
Carrie?

I saw something.

What was it?

I don't know.
It moved.

Where?

Down there,
under my covers.

Caroline: Here?

Yes, ma'am.

Carrie...

Those are your feet.

I'm afraid of feet.

Now, there's nothing
to be afraid of.

Come on.

There is nothing
to be afraid of.

Now go back to sleep.

Ma!

You made us late,
so they already soaped all the windows.

Well, there's
plenty more.

I'm going to go around the corner
and soap the other windows.

Harriet: I ask
for one little trip,

and you say
we can't afford it,

and then you waste
money with both hands!

Spending our hard-earned
money on her!

You leave her out of it.
She's none of your business.

She is,
when you spend our money on her!

I buy what
we need.

Harriet: Oh! Yeah, like
a silly tin sword

you just couldn't
do without.

These swords are made of
the finest Toledo steel,

and they come from my
family coat of arms.

Harriet: They're tin
swords, and a coat of arms

as bogus as the peddler
who sold them to you.

Nels: Tin, huh?

Harriet:
Yeah.

All right.
I'll show you.

Harriet: Nels, you
put that thing down.

Nels:
Tin, is it?

I'll show you
whether it's tin!

Nels:
Who's there?

Oh, Laura Ingalls!

Oh, I expect you saw
what... what just happened.

I... kind of.

Well, I didn't
mean to do it,

but people do
lose their tempers.

I had to show her.
I just had to.

Now, you can understand
that, can't you?

Yes, sir.

Ah, I knew
you would.

Ha ha ha ha!

I must say, it certainly
took her by surprise.

She won't be saying anything
about this sword from now on.

We're good friends, aren't we?

Sure.

You can understand why I'd
like to keep this a secret...

Yours and mine.

Uh-huh.

Not a word
to anyone.

You promise?

Cross my heart,
hope to...

Fine!

We can consider the whole
matter dead and buried.

Good night,
Laura.

Come on, Mary.
Hurry! Run!

Laura!

You waste money that I could
have used to visit my mother

on a dressmaker's dummy,

and then
you destroy her!

The dummy doesn't talk so much.

What?

I said...
I changed my mind.

I decided to send you
home to see your mother.

Oh. Well...

Uh...

Thank you, nels.
I'll go pack.

Mary: Laura! Wait!

Laura!

Wait up!

Mary: Laura, please wait.

What got into you,
running like that?

If you'd seen what I
saw, you'd run, too.

Come on!

No. Tell me
what you saw.

Mr. Oleson.

What's scary
about him?

You see him
every day.

Not with a big,
long sword.

He had a sword?

He cut off
Mrs. Oleson's head!

Laura Ingalls,
you should wash your mouth out with soap

for telling
a story like that.

But I saw him!

Mr. Oleson
is a nice man.

He wouldn't
hurt a fly.

It's the truth,
honest.

He told me
not to tell.

I'm not going to
listen to another word.

You're just trying to scare
me the way you scared Carrie.

But I did see him.

I did!

- Hi, ma, pa.
- You're home early.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I didn't expect you for another hour.
What happened?

Laura's fault.
She'll tell you. Good night.

What happened,
half-pint?

I saw
something, pa.

Charles: Aha! Ghosts. I told you
they walked around on Halloween.

No, something
worse than that.

I saw somebody cut
somebody's head off.

Laura!

Come on, half-pint.
You come home with some tall tales,

but this one's too much
even for Halloween.

But I did see it.

Charles: You've been reading
too many ghost stories.

Pa, you have to listen.

You can expect Carrie to
believe a story like that,

but you can't
expect us to.

Yeah, your
ma's right.

Fun is fun,
but I want you to get off to bed now.

Don't you even want to know
whose head got cut off?

It's going to be yours if you
don't get off to bed. Now, scoot.

Pa?

Charles:
I told you... to bed.

Well? Did you
tell them?

Yeah, I
told them.

What did
they say?

They don't
believe me, either.

They wouldn't
even listen.

Well, what
do you expect?

That's the silliest
story I've ever heard.

You'd better
come to bed.

Aah!

All:

There's your dollar,
and I can't thank you enough.

A dollar will pay
for fancy's oats.

Getting me up at
the crack of dawn!

I still don't know why I couldn't
have waited to take the stage.

Oh, this will be much
more comfortable.

Not to mention cheaper
and a whole lot faster.

Aah!

Mary: If I get a bad grade
on that spelling test today,

it'll be all
your fault.

Laura: Why?

Mary: Because you kept me
awake all night is why...

Rolling around on
the bed and moaning

and flopping the
covers all over.

Well, I couldn't help it.

I was having
a nightmare.

Besides, you would, too,
if you'd seen what I did.

Oh, Laura,
don't start that dumb story again.

It's not a story!
I saw it.

When we get
into town,

why don't you just go to the
olesons' and see for yourself?

See what?

See Mrs. Oleson.

I don't want
to see her.

Why not?

Because she hasn't
got any head.

You'd better stop
talking like that,

or you're going to
get in trouble.

You won't
believe me.

Of course not!

Then I'll just walk to
school with someone who will.

Where are you going?

Why should I tell you?
You wouldn't believe me anyway.

Mary was
with you?

Yeah,
but not where she could see.

She didn't
believe me.

Did you tell
your folks?

I told them the
minute I got home,

but pa almost laughed at
me, but not really.

He said I was
imagining things.

I expect
he's right.

You, too?

I thought we were
best friends.

We are,

but Mr. Oleson
with a long sword?

You think I'm lying.

I didn't say that.

Just the same as.

Laura, people
imagine things.

One night in the barn,
I saw a giant jumping at me.

Scared me
out of my skin,

till my pa showed me
it was just a shadow.

You could have made
a mistake. I did.

We'll go to oleson's
mercantile, and I'll prove it.

We'll be late
for school.

You're scared.

I am not.

Then come on.

Nels: Be right there!

Well, Laura, Carl,
how are you today?

Laura and Carl:
Hi, Mr. Oleson.

What can I
do for you?

We'd like a
pencil, please.

Well,
all right.

Here we are.

Two for
a penny.

Oh, no, sir.

I'd like the
special kind,

the one that Mrs.
Oleson gives me.

Oh. Mrs. Oleson?

Nels: Well, I don't know.
These are the only ones that I know about,

and she went away
this morning.

She'll just be gone for a
few days to visit her mother.

I'll wait, thank you.

All right.

I told you,
she's not there.

He said she went
to her mother's.

He winked at me.
You saw him.

He could have had
something in his eye.

If Mrs. Oleson is going
to go see her mother,

she's got to be
on the stage.

Of course she is!

She can't be.

She hasn't
got a head.

Come on, silly.
I'll show you.

Mrs. Oleson!
Mrs. Oleson!

Mrs. Foster: Hello, Carl.

Hi, Mrs. Foster.

Is there
anything wrong?

No, ma'am.

Have a
good trip.

Thank you.

You know something? I'm scared.

Come on.

What are we
going to do?

Well, I told Mary,
and ma and pa,

but they didn't
believe me.

What we need is a sheriff,
but walnut grove doesn't have one.

Mankato does.

You could write
him a letter.

I don't have a stamp.

Even if I did,
he'd probably just laugh at me anyway.

Then we just wait.

When Mrs. Oleson doesn't come
home, then everybody'll know.

Oh, no.

What Mr. Oleson did
was purely wicked.

He's dangerous. He
might even do it again!

You can only cut off
a person's head once.

Not Mrs. Oleson's.

What if Nellie and Willie start
asking about where their ma is?

Laura: No telling
what he'll do.

I don't want to
talk about it.

We got to talk about it.

If something awful happens
to Nellie and Willie,

it'll be our fault.

We got to warn them.

I'm not the one
who saw them.

I'm not asking you
to say anything,

just be there.

That's what best friends are
for, isn't it?

Well, isn't it?

I guess so.

Come on.

I sure wish I had a
different best friend.

Laura: Nellie, Willie!

What do
you want?

Got something
secret to tell you.

All right,
but hurry.

Well, what's
the big secret?

I don't know how to tell you
this, Nellie.

Use your mouth.

Ha ha! That's a good one.

Your father cut off
your mother's head.

- He what?
- Ha ha!

He cut off your
mother's head.

Your big secret was to tell
me some dumb story like that?

But it's true!

Come on,
Willie.

Tell my mother that when she
comes back from grandma's.

She wasn't
on the stage!

Mmm!

Oh! Oh!

Oh, dear.

Oh, her
favorite apron.

Willie: Get
out of my way!

Nellie: Don't push!

Don't take
them all!

I can take as
many as I want!

Out! Out! Out!

I told you to keep
out of the candy.

Ma said
I could.

Well, your
ma is gone.

And you, young lady,
you get upstairs and do your homework.

I did it...
At school.

Me too.

Good, then the two of you
can set the table for supper.

Now!

Willie!

We got to set
the table.

That's girls' work.

Pa said both of us, and you'll
help, or I'll call him.

All right,
I'll help.

Willie...

Look.

What is it?

Blood.

Laura did say ma
wasn't on the stage.

And pa said
she was gone.

Pa wouldn't
do a thing...

Well, don't just
stand there. Move!

What's the matter
with you two?

Why aren't
you eating?

This is very
good beef,

even if I do
say so myself.

Just not
hungry.

Well, you'd
better eat it

if you know what's
good for you.

Yes, sir.

Worked very hard
on this supper.

Mmm! As a matter of fact,
I had a little accident.

Spilled sauce all over
your mother's best apron.

Remind me to rinse
it out later.

Sauce.

Boy, am I glad!

What?

He means he was glad
you spilled sauce on it.

Oh.

Pa, I'll tell you something
if you promise not to laugh.

I'll try not to.

Well, Laura Ingalls...
Silly Laura...

She said that you
cut off ma's head.

I was telling him!

Why can't
I tell him?

Shh! Shh!

Laura Ingalls
said that?

Land sakes.
She did see something.

That mannequin was sitting
in the chair by the window,

and I had my sword,
and I, um...

Well, the mannequin
lost its head.

Nels: It's very
embarrassing,

but accidents always are.

I had no idea that she...

Well, I'll have to
explain it to her.

I'll do it
for you, pa.

Well, thank you, Nellie.
That's very nice of you.

Well, since I
fixed the supper,

I think that you two
can do the dishes.

Oh, I'll soak out
ma's apron, too.

Well, thank you, Nellie.

I'll be out
in the store.

Remember this?

Remember how scared you
were when you saw this?

You thought pa had done
something terrible.

You were
scared, too.

I was, and
I knew better.

Just think how we could use
this to scare Laura and Carl.

I don't want to.

Do what I tell you,
and I'll do your homework

and wash the
dishes for you.

Give me your roast
beef, and it's a deal.

It sure is quiet.

It sure is.

Carrie asleep,

pa out in the barn
mending the harness,

Mary in the loft
doing homework.

On her night to
do the dishes.

We swapped.

So we could talk?

How'd you know?

Well...

We had your favorite
meat pie for supper

and you only
picked at it.

We had custard
for dessert,

and you didn't
want any.

Something's
troubling you.

What is it?
Do you want to tell me about it?

I did last night.

I saw it, ma.

I saw Mr. Oleson...
Through the window.

Laura, Halloween is
a time for tricks,

and scaring people.

Mr. Oleson probably
saw you coming

and played a scary
trick on you.

It wasn't a trick.

I saw Mr. Oleson.

Caroline: Laura,

you can't honestly
believe that Mr. Oleson

would deliberately
hurt anyone,

especially with a sword.

Caroline: Isn't
that a silly idea?

I guess so.

Good night, ma.

Sweet dreams.

Good night.

Aah!

Laura Ingalls,
what's wrong with you?

I don't know.

It was...
It was awful.

A nightmare
again?

Yeah.

An awful one.

Well, go to sleep
and try not to dream.

I can't.

Why not?

I have to go to
the outhouse.

Go ahead, and try not to pounce
on the bed when you get back.

Mary: Laura!

Sorry.

I thought you had to
go to the outhouse.

I changed my mind.

Then go
to sleep.

Here, you see?

The latest thing.

Oh!

You can move
her arms...

Into any position
you want.

That's very good.

Yeah, the same with
the head... legs, too.

Thaddeus: This one will
do everything but talk.

How much?

$9.25.

But a lot of work goes
into one of these beauties.

That's mighty high.

Yeah, well, I could give you
something on the other one I sold you,

so long as it's still
in good condition.

No, no, uh...
I think I might...

I'll probably need
both of those.

I'll take it for $9.25.

Good enough.

Yeah, I'll throw in one
of these heavy cloth bags.

I usually get
50 cents for them.

Well, thank
you, Thaddeus.

Yeah, now, keep her in here
when she's not in the window...

Save her from
getting chipped.

Nels:
I'll do that.

There's $9.25.

Thank you.

My, she... she really
is a... a beauty.

Yeah.

See you in a month.

Right, Thaddeus.
Good day.

Thank you.

Is he there?

He's there.
Go on.

Dadburn it!

I'm glad I didn't
pay for this bag.

It's not big enough.

The legs... the
legs are too long.

Nels: Well, I'll just put
the legs in something else

and keep the rest
of her in here.

Whoa! She's a heavy one!

Nels: Who's there?

Why don't we just pretend
it never happened?

I can't.

Grownups are supposed
to know everything.

They keep telling you
you didn't see anything.

What's wrong with
pretending they're right?

They're not.

Willie: Psst!

Come here.
Come on.

What do you want?

Shh! Not
so loud.

I don't want Nellie to hear.

Hear what?

Get down.

I think you're
right about pa.

You laughed at us when
we told you yesterday.

What changed your mind?

Something I found,

something I'm
going to show you,

Willie: But first I got to tell
you what I heard last night...

Digging noises,
almost all last night.

Digging noises?

Where?

From the cellar.

I didn't know
you had a cellar.

Sure we got a cellar.

Willie: Under the storeroom,
where pa keeps all his apples and pears.

That's where
he was digging.

Couldn't we talk
some place else?

Sure.
I'll show you what I found.

My ma's apron.

Blood.

What did Nellie have
to say about that?

I didn't tell her,
and I'm not going to.

She's your sister.

I told her about
the digging noises,

but she said shut up
or she'd tell pa.

Willie: And I don't know
what I'd do if she told pa.

Tell somebody else.

No, we tried that,
and it didn't work.

What do you
want us to do?

I tried to go down to the cellar
this morning, but I was too a-scared.

Me too.

If you two would come
down to the cellar with me,

maybe we could find out
what pa was doing.

We'd like
to help you,

but with your pa and
Nellie being right there,

it wouldn't be
such a good idea.

Sure wouldn't.

And the school bell's
going to ring any minute.

Willie: But pa's going
to close the store early,

and he's going to
go to Springfield,

and Nellie's going to
be upstairs studying.

We'll think
about it.

We discussed the rights and the
privileges of being a citizen.

Now what are the obligations
of being a good citizen?

Mary.

He pays taxes.

That's right.

Nellie.

He runs
for office?

He may, but it's
not an obligation.

Yes, Sarah.

He obeys
the laws?

That's right.

Willie?

If a good citizen knows about a
crime, he has to tell.

Miss beadle:
That's right.

If a citizen is absolutely sure
a crime has been committed,

then he has an obligation to report
it to the proper authorities.

Miss beadle:
Any questions?

All right,
we'll go on with our spelling.

Shh, Jack. Shh!

Stay.

Carl?

Boy, am I glad
to see you.

I didn't know
if you'd be here.

I told you
I would.

This cemetery ain't like
this in the daytime.

I noticed.

Scary, huh?

Laura: Well, at least
we've got the moonlight

until Willie puts the
candle in the store window.

Yeah.

No candle yet?

I can't see any.

He'd better
hurry up.

If my pa wakes up when I get
home, I'll get blistered.

We got
a citizen's duty.

I'll still
get blistered.

Me too.

I'm starving.

Willie should have
sneaked us some apples.

He couldn't.
The apples are in the cellar.

Where his pa's
been digging.

Yeah.

There it is.

Nellie: Willie!

I'm coming!

Do you know
what to say?

You told me
a hundred times.

Well,
don't forget.

Now, get back
in the store.

They'll be here
any minute.

Hurry up!

You got to get out of the
way before I close the door.

He ain't there.

He is.
He put the candle in the window.

I was never much for
cellars, anyway.

I think I'll go.

Come in,
but be quiet.

Come on.

Laura: Hurry.

Take a candle.
We'll each have one.

Better that way.

Can't we just lift it a
little and take a peek?

I don't think so.

It's a big
old cellar.

Willie: Lots of boxes
and stuff down there.

You sure we ought to do this?

What's the matter?
You scared?

Yeah.

I'm not, not
with 3 of us.

Let's get it
over with.

Well... guess I'd
better go first.

No. It's your cellar.
You go first.

Now you got me
scared again.

Let's all
stay close.

There.

There's
the shovel.

No sign of digging anywhere.

Maybe behind
those boxes.

Yeah... Where he'd do it.

Couldn't see
it right away.

Guess we'd better go look.

Don't push.
I'm going.

Nellie: Ooh!

What was that?

I didn't
hear nothing.

I did.

Some kind of
mouse, maybe.

Sounded more like
somebody dying.

I don't
hear it now.

Got to look back
in them boxes.

You want to go first?
Go ahead.

We'll all go.

Nellie: Ooh!

Ooh!

Laura: Hurry up!
Come on!

Laura:
Wait for Willie!

Carl: The ghost
already got him!

Come on! Start
piling stuff on!

Come on,
hurry!

In there, quick,
before it gets us!

Children?

Children, is that you?

Children,

don't hide
from mother.

Aah!

Is it still there?

Yeah.

I wish
I was at home.

So do I.

I'm scared.

It might help if
you'd hold my hand.

Why
don't you?

Why don't I what?

Hold my hand.

I am.

Oh!

Mrs. Oleson.

Harriet.

Harriet!

What... get me some
water, quick, please.

What happened,
Harriet?

Oh, my...

What are you
doing here?

Willie told us you...

He asked us
to help him.

Oh.

Thank you.

Willie told them?

What was all that noise?

Well, we thought that
this was Mrs. Oleson.

Nels: Nellie didn't tell you that it was a
dressmaker's mannequin that lost its head?

It's in there
on the shelf.

Nellie didn't
tell us anything.

But Willie talked to you.

Where is he?

In the cellar.

Nels: I'd appreciate
it if you'd tell him

I'd like to see him
up here right now.

Yes, sir.

Harriet: Ohh!

Oh, my...
Harriet.

A trick.

One of Nellie's
old tricks.

And a dirty
one, too.

Wait a minute.
I got an idea.

Yeah!

Aah!

Did you hear
her scream?

Louder than the whistle
on hanson's mill.
