( all laughing )

Hey! Wha--

( woman screams )

( all laughing )

woman: Banana cheese?

Banana cheese?

Banana cheese?
Banana cheese?

Careful, some of these eggs
might be rotten.

( screams )

Oh, no, that's just me.

Banana cheese?
Banana cheese?

( groans )

May I?

( screams )

( laughs )

Hey, kid!

I didn't take nothing!

You look thirsty!

( laughs )

Scream-up on aisle four!

Is Casper ready
for his big moment?

He knows where
he's supposed to be.

If you think was scary,

take a look at this!

Rocky road?

Casper?

- ( screams )
- Casper! It's just me.

Jimmy, you scared me.

Really? I couldn't tell
by the way you were screaming.

( laughs )

Try it again,
but this time,

kick it with your laces
instead of your toe.

Oh.

Yeah!

See? You got
a lot more power.

Too bad the goalie at the tryout
won't be a ghost.

- You'll do fine,
- Yeah, thanks to you.

I better go.
The tryouts are at 4:30.

4:30? I was supposed to meet
my uncles half an hours ago.

( screaming )

I'm late.

And welcome back
to "Scare Center."

Time for the moment
you've been waiting for.

The scare of the day!

I tell ya, this freak-out
at Deedstown

- puts the "boo" in "boo-yah!"
- Boo-yah!

Hey! We made "Scare Center!
Stretch!

You young scarers out there,
play close attention.

'Cause you're gonna see
how it's done.

- Do not adjust your sets!
- Don't do it!

Hey, what's going on
with this?!

What a rip-off!

I'll get it.

Kibosh!

Uh, oh, hello, Mr. exalted
king of all the creatures, sir.

We didn't hear you come in.

Might I say, you're looking
horrifying this evening.

Where is your nephew?!

Uh, Casper?

Oh, uh, I heard humans
screaming at the library.

I think that was him.

No, no, no, I saw a woman
fainting downtown.

Oh, I think that was him.

Right now, we're gonna go
from "boo-yah"

- to "boo-boo."
- That's right, Jim.

We turn now from the highest
of the high

to the lowest of the low.

You're not gonna believe
this polter-goof in Deedstown.

Wait for it.
Wait for it.

( screams )

Oh, you know you didn't
want that to happen!

You've gotta hope Kibosh
isn't watching.

Clearly, you've made no progress
at all with Casper's problem!

What am I worried about?

I bet no one even noticed
I wasn't here.

Yeah, that's it.

Uh-oh.

You have been told
a thousand times.

Hasn't he?

- Definitely.
- At least a thousand.

- Give or take.
- ( sighs )

If we are friendly
to fleshies,

then they'll lose
their fear of us.

And if they lose
their fear of us...

uncles: They'll rise up
against us.

The fleshies will rise up
against us.

They're not fleshies.
They're called--

Silence!

Actually, sir, technically,
he is correct.

They are called--

I'm going in the floor!

This is the last time
I tell you two!

You three,
Casper's friendliness

is a threat to us all!

It's not their fault.

They have told me,
but I can't help it.

Casper, you leave me
no choice.

There's a place for creatures
like you,

those who cannot
grasp our ways.

It's called Scare School.

Ooh, that was a scary.

The instructors there
have certain techniques

of reforming the unfit.

Is it horrible?
Yes.

Will you rue this day forever?
Mm-hmm.

Will you have nightmares
the entire time you're there?

Pretty much.

But it's far better
than the alternative.

The alternative?

- No, no, no, that's okay!
- It's okay.

Lunch break.

So, anyways, we're all set
for school to start.

The roach man, has he been
through the dormitory?

Yeah, we got plenty
of roaches.

What about the cafeteria?

Yeah, we just took delivery
of 2,000 pounds of spoiled meat.

Have the bathrooms
been cleaned?

- No.
- Good.

Sounds like we're ready.

It's going to be a stupendous
year, wonderful.

I can't wait to get acquainted
with the new class.

Oh, who are we kidding?

I don't know,
are we kidding someone?

Yes, ourselves.

We're the most frightening
beings in the business.

Yet our our talents are being
wasted teaching the rejects

of the creature world
to say "boo."

We gotta get out of here.
But how?

We could ask Kibosh
for a transfer.

You ninny.
You nincompoop. You nimrod.

Actually,
that's not a bad idea.

Yes, we'll ask him to put us
in the field.

We'll ditch this desk job
once and for all.

- What do you have there?
- Nothing.

Let me see.

Our ankle.

( crying ) Oh, ankle,
ankle, ankle, ankle.

- Ankle! I love ankle!
- I miss our ankle!

Casper: But I don't want
to go to scare school.

I like it here with all of you
and with Jimmy.

Didn't you guys ever have
a best friend?

Don't argue, Casper.

You're going to Scare School,
period.

What if I don't go?

The alternative
is too terrible.

I don't think it sounds
so bad.

Not so bad?

Banishment to the Valley
of the Shadows--

All right, spill it.

What's this Valley
of the Shadows?

- Nothing.
- None of our business.

Come on, you guys.
It should be up to me.

Just tell me.

But we don't want you to end up
like your Aunt Spitzy.

We can't keep this secret
from him forever.

We don't have
enough hands.

( sighs )

Look, Casper,
we didn't want to tell you this

until you were older,
but you're right.

You do deserve to know.

If you can't shape up
at Scare School

and stop being friendly,
there's a good chance

you'll get sent
to the Valley of the Shadows.

Oh, it's too awful!

How bad could it be?

Casper, if you get sent there,
you can never come back!

We can never see you again.

And we can never say
your name again.

It'll be like
you never existed.

Like Aunt Spi--

all: Shh!

We're not allowed to talk
about her.

Okay, okay.

Let's just say...
she...

was very special to us.

( sobs )

Whatever you do
at Scare School...

Whatever they throw at you.

Don't blow it!

We don't want
to lose you, too.

Now let's get packing.

Hey, we got it all in!

( laughs )

Ah, that was funny.

( muttering )

Yeah. Uh, yeah.
Come on.

Come on, give it to me.
Come on.

- I'm all linty over here!
- ( sighs ) Grow up.

- No, you grow up!
- Make me.

- Oh, I'll make you.
- Nuh-uh.

- Uh-yah!
- Nuh-uh! No!

So anyways, introducing the
ruler of all the underworld,

Kibosh.

Headmasters Alder and Dash,

shapers of young minds.

Good to see you again
in these hallowed halls.

Kibosh, you look great.

Yeah, you look great!

I mean, not exactly great,
but you look good.

Let's say you're fat
and green, but--

What my little other
means to say

is the toll of your awesome
responsibility

clearly weighs heavily
on your shoulders.

- You look like garbage.
- Tired. Tired.

What you need is someone
hard-working,

like, say, I don't know, us
to get out there

to get out there and really put
a scare into those fleshies

to take some
of the pressure off.

Enough of this.
We've been through this before.

I need you here,
especially this semester.

There's a student arriving
I want you to keep your eye on.

His name's Casper.

What'd I miss?
We out of here?

Oh, hey, Kibosh!

Be right back!

I'm leaving now.

( clears throat )

Casper, we did it!

I mean, I'm the one
who actually did it,

but I couldn't have done it
without you.

- Jimmy--
- Look, the important thing is

I made the team,
it's a done deal!

- Jimmy--
- You should have seen me
out there.

It was like
you were right there with me.

Wait till you see me play
in a real game.

There's something
I have to tell you.

I know what you're going to say,
but you can hide in my gym bag.

Jimmy,
they're sending me away.

I have to go to Scare School.

What?
What are you talking about?

You teach me all this stuff,
I make the team,

and now you're going away?

I can't believe this.

I don't want to go.
They're making me.

Well, if you don't
want to go, don't.

I'll find a way
to come back for your games.

You promise?

Yeah. I promise.

man: Ah-choo!

Will someone wipe me nose?

Ah... ah-choo!

Hello? Me arms is nailed
to me sides!

Little help!

How come on a school bus,

I'm always the one who ends up
sitting on the hump?

Ow. Get off of me.

( chuckles )
Just playing with you.

All right, listen up.

If you're new here,
and most of you are,

I'm Thatch.

This is my last year here,
and basically,

everybody here does
what I say.

Hello, ladies.

- Hi, Thatch.
- Hi, Thatch.

Oh! You're scary.
Once a year.

Hey, buddy, no shirt,
no shoes, no service.

Ka-zing.

Hey, rover,
off the furniture.

( laughs )

Stop me before
I zing again!

So, what's your shtick?

You, like, a dirty, pale kid?

I beg your pardon?

I'm a zombie
and proud of it.

I can see why.
Listen up, rejects.

Given how pathetic you are,

I guess I'll have to spell
this out for you.

What I don't want to have to do
is bite you in the neck

and turn you into yet another
mindless, hypnotized follower.

Argh!

Any questions?

Yeah.
How's that seat taste?

Aah! Stop!

Whoa!

Good-bye, Casp.

( sobs )
Give an old ghost a hug.

Okay.
Well, I'll see you guys.

Wow.
This feels... heavier.

Just checking that
he has everything.

( sobbing )

I already miss him!

You ate his bus sandwich,
didn't you?

Uh, and his travel pillow.

( belches )

Ahoy, matey.

Welcome aboard
the Scare School schooner.

Ahoy, but um,
Mr. captain pirate driver sir?

Arr?

Both your eyes are covered.

Not to worry, laddie.
I've got me the GPS.

GPS? guiding parrot system.

All right, Beaky.
Which way be we facing?

Rawk. Forward.

I know we're facing forward,
you sad excuse for a seagull!

Which direction
is forward facing?

What'd I do?

I'm sorry.
It's me pirate temper.

Where are ye?
Have a cookie.

That's a playing card.

Well, blast it, where'd
you put the cookies?!

Sorry, taken.

Hi. I'm Casper.

Hi. Hello.

- Nice hair.
- Thanks.

A friendly ghost, huh?
Now I've seen everything.

Um, excuse me?

You're a ghost.

Why don't you just walk
through me?

I try not to do that.
A lot of people find it rude.

Rude?
Well, guess what.

You either walk through me
or turn around

and get off this bus.

- Ship.
- Whatever.

Ah-choo!

( kids scream )

Hey, give me that!

Ghost, you are toast.

Argh!

( Thatch screams )

Thatch: Ow!

Me parrot says
I ran out of pink thread.

Do ye want black
or chartreusey?

( lisping ) Just hurry up.

I've got a ghost
to teach a lesson to.

I can always put it
in the sewing machine.

No, no, take your time.

So, are you new
to the school, too?

Yep, first year.
I'm Mantha.

Hi. Casper.

- Ra.
- Ra?

Like "Ra Ra. go, team"?

Like a cheerleader?

Yeah, like, totally.
I'm a cheerleader.

I'll see you boneheads
at the pep rally.

( gasps ) Pep rally?
Yummy.

What are we gonna wear?

I don't know,
you look so good in blue.

So why are they sending
you guys to Scare School?

I have unraveling issues.

Nobody is sending me here.
I signed up.

People are always putting
zombies down,

and I am here to show them
that zombies

are just like everybody else.

And I got to work on that.

That was great the way you
stood up to the vampire.

I know, that guy
is such a jerk.

I don't know, maybe he was
just kidding around.

Oh, yeah, and I suppose
the mighty Horus

doesn't look down upon us

with his all-seeing
and omniscient eye.

( laughs )

Mummy joke.

Watch your step.
Watch your step.

Watch your ste--
agh! Oh!

I fell off me own boat!

Why didn't you warn me,
you scurvy, peck-addled pigeon?

How am I supposed to know
where you're going?

You couldn't. You can't.
I'm sorry.

It's me pirate nature.

Here.
Have some croutons.

Those are dice.

No wonder me salads
have been so crunchy.

Thanks for the smooth ride,
captain.

I liked how you eased
up on the anchor

just before we stopped
so the boat wouldn't jerk.

Nobody's ever noticed
that before.

But I'm sure everyone
appreciates it.

Well, see ya.

What a nice lad,
such manners.

That was a dirty trick
you pulled up there, Casper.

You are so history.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
Thatch.

I'm not hurt.
You can't hurt a vampire.

Where are the mountains?

I think they're over there.

( all chattering )

So anyways,

here's the leader
of the underworld, Kibosh.

Take a good look around,
students.

These walls are lined
with pictures of the great ones,

those who have gone before,

and every single one of them
began as you are--

students
here at Scare School,

outcasts, misfits, losers,

rejects, pariahs,

also-rans, wannabes,

- D-listers--
- We get it already.

Whether you're a ghost
or a goblin

or a gorgon, mummy or even--
I don't know, a zombie...

Typical anti-zombie attitude.

We, all of us,
have something in common.

Those of us who
aren't pushy know-it-alls.

We share a common destiny
as creatures.

What is that destiny?

To scare humans. Why?

We do it to preserves
something called the balance.

Balance schmalance.

Simply put,
if we scare humans too little,

they'll rise up against us,
and if we scare them too much,

they'll rise up against us.

You'll be learning more about
this in the months to come,

the humiliating, demoralizing,
excruciating months to come.

Anyhoo, study hard, good luck,
et cetera, et cetera.

Your headmasters will now
lead you in the school song.

( organ plays )

♪ We love you,
o our scare school ♪

♪ where evil's
in the air school ♪

♪ a place-without-compare
school ♪

♪ that fills us with disgust ♪

♪ oh, others may like
their school ♪

♪ but come here,
they don't dare school ♪

♪ this really
raise-your-hair school ♪

♪ beloved of all of us ♪

Dismissed!

Well, they're all yours.
Ta ta.

Sirs, are you all right?

Stop being nice!

What's wrong with you?

Excuse me, sirs?

That was Casper,
hopelessly friendly,

but don't worry.

I'm keeping an eye
on him for you.

There's just one thing.

I'm going to need a cool robe
like yours and my own office.

Why don't you
go bite something?

Okay.
Just the robe, then?

But there's no such thing
as scaring humans too much.

Humans are creature bait.
They're scare meat.

- It's what they're there for.
- Settle.

We won't have to abide by
Kibosh's rules much longer.

What do you mean?
He wouldn't give us a transfer.

I don't get it.

Then we'll just have to put
the Kibosh on Kibosh.

( both laughing )

I still don't get it.

That's right,
Alder and Dash personally

assigned me the job
of keeping an eye on ghost boy,

and I'm gonna deputize
you two to help me.

Is it going to hurt?

Which bunk
do you want, Ra?

Neither, thanks.
I brought my own.

Five minutes to lights out!

Gee, this place sure is
different from my pyramid.

I think I'm tomb-sick.

Don't worry, Ra.
You're not alone.

Everybody here is feeling
the same thing.

Fatso: I miss Casper.

I can't even remember what
the little guy looks like.

-Oh. Yeah.
- Ghosts don't sniffle.

Absolutely not, and they don't
get wobbly lips like this.

Never, so I vote
we pull ourselves together.

You're right.

On three,
we pull ourselves together.

One! Two!

( all sobbing )

I still miss him!

Alder: So how we gonna
get rid of Kibosh?

Dash: Hmm, unfortunately, there
are no ghost-eating insects.

You think too much.

Thinking never
accomplished anything.

No, thinking "thinking
never accomplished anything"

never accomplished anything.

I considered hypnotism,

but its effect on ghosts
is marginal at best.

Enchanted swords?
Useless.

Swords... useless.

Then I discovered
this little beauty--

the vacuum of Atlantis.

Push this button, and it sucks
in whatever's in front of it.

Ooh, let me see.

We have to be very careful
because it only works once.

( click, whir )

Ow!

( muffled )
Push... the other... button.

Why do I always
get picked to do this?

Hey, Cas-puke,
got you something,

kind of a first-day present.

Thanks, Thatch.

See, Ra?
I told you.

Everyone's
basically friendly.

What is it, Thatch?

Acheron beetle.

When you startle it,

it sprays the worst smell
in the universe.

Ghost boy is gonna stink
till he graduates.

( both laugh )

Is it poisonous?
I'm allergic to poison.

No. He's cute.

Hey, little guy.

( peeping )

( both laugh )

No, no.
You're doing it wrong.

Give me that.

Uh-oh. Ugh!

( coughing and spitting )

All right, all right,
quiet down.

Welcome to science class,
where you will learn the science

behind today's modern
scaring methods.

I am your teacher,
Thurdigree Burns.

Today, class,
we'll be discussing the science

of scaring fleshies.

When the fleshie is afraid,
he begins to run,

causing heavy breathing.

Moisture forms under his arms,
on his forehead,

and on his upper lip.

What do we call
this moisture?

Anyone?
Scare juice.

Scare juice is secreted
by metal tubes here, here,

and here which are attached
to an electric pump

inside the fleshie's stomach.

This pump powered
by a tiny monkey.

- That is why it's best...
- This is all wrong.

This causes the fleshie
to stare upward in horror,

allowing the monkey
to look up the throat,

panic, and start pumping.

Actually?
Mr. Burns, sir?

Yes?

That moisture is called sweat.

It happens to humans after
any kind of healthy exercise.

Wrong!

Scare juice, metal tubes,
monkey in the tummy.

But I actually know
some humans, and--

Silence!

See me after school
for detention.

Everyone else,
put yourselves out.

Tough break, getting detention
on your first day.

Was it awful?

Nah.
It wasn't so bad.

( insect buzzing )

Flyboy,
you got detention, too?

No, I got stuck

between the door
and the screen door.

So what's on for tonight?

You want to study together?

I'm pretty wiped out.

I think I'm gonna
turn in early.

- Good night, guys.
- See you in the morning.

So I'm flying along,
and there's this piece of paper

hanging from the ceiling,
and it's all sticky,

and it was sticking to me,
and I couldn't get out of it.

Oh, what kind
of a world is this?

Everything's going great, ma.

I got a B+ in lurking.

I'm real popular.

Yes.
I'm drinking enough blood.

I got to go.

What's he up to?

Where do you think
you're going?

Come back here, runt.

Casper: I really appreciate
you taking me to Deedstown.

Think nothing of it, laddie.

We was heading in that
direction, anyway.

Besides, I know what it's like
to have a best friend,

right, Beaky?

Glad you feel that way, Cappy,
because this best friend

just had an accident
on your shoulder.

Remember, it was an accident.

Beaky, you didn't!

I'm of a mind
to keelhaul you,

you guano-dropping,
mutinous, pox-faced swab.

Man: Jimmy, get out here!
We're gonna start.

Where is he?
He promised.

Aah! Don't do that.

- You scared me.
- Sorry.

I was worried
you weren't coming.

I got here as fast as I could.

Casper,
I don't know about this.

These other guys
are really good.

Jimmy, you can do this.
What are you so nervous about?

- You're gonna be here, right?
- For the whole game.

Man: Jimmy! Now!

Coming!

Coach, what are you
so nervous about?

( yawns )

Double overtime
and a penalty shootout.

- What?
- ( groans )

I'm telling you,
he's up to something.

- I don't know what it is but--
- Then don't bother us.

You're right.
I'll work on it.

I'll conduct more surveillance
and come back to you

when I have
more concrete evidence.

I'm sort of like
their third head.

So, as students of history,

we see the balance
as part of our common... what?

Ra?

Um, history?

Correct.

Let's watch a short film

that explains a little
more about the balance.

Lights!

Why do I always get picked
to do this?

( film projector whirs )

Narrator: If we scare humans
too little,

they'll lose their fear
of creatures

and rise up against us.

If we scare too much,
they'll be all,

"Hey, you're scaring us
too much!"

and rise up against us.

But when things are in balance,
humans are just scared enough,

and no one will rise up
against anybody.

That's doing your part
for the balance!

( Casper snoring )

Casper!

( all laughing )

See me after school.

All right, folks.
Listen up.

A good creature needs
to be physically tough

to deal with villagers
who chase you into a windmill

and teasing children
who call you bulb-head,

a bride who runs off
with your d-doctor!

All right.
Let's see what you're made of!

recorded voice:
Aah. Creatures.

Save me.

Hey, knees up, you guys.
Fleshies run.

You got to keep up with them.

Aah. Creatures.
Save me.

Aah. Creatures.
Save me.

Ha ha, suckers.
Look at me.

I'm way out in front.

Mantha,
you finished first.

At least,
part of you did.

Why are you helping
that student?

Uh, to be real mean and tough
and grrrr

and to kick her
with her own foot, and, uh--

See me after school.

Actually, sir,
I already have detention

with another teacher today.

Does tomorrow work for you?

That's it!
You're out of here!

Dash: Poor Ankle.
We miss you so.

( knock on door )

So anyways,
here's that Casper kid.

You wanted to see me,
sir... s?

Casper, it's come
to our attention

that you have been disruptive
in several of your classes.

Yeah,
they say you keep being nice.

We despise nice.
Nice makes us sick.

Also radishes sometimes.

Also, we're hearing things
about you

from our top-secret
undercover spy.

You mean Thatch?

- Absolutely not.
- I thought it was Thatch.

Quiet, you nincompoop.

And what our spy is telling us
is that you're up to no good.

But I thought
no good was good.

No! No good is good.

But the way you do no good
is no good.

- You follow?
- No.

- Good.
- Good.

Now then, between
whatever it is you're up to

and all this niceness
we've been hearing about,

you're probably the worst
creature in this entire school.

- And not worst in a good way.
- You're a disgrace, Casper,

and frankly,
we've got a lot more

important things to deal with.

Yeah, like taking
over the worl--

The worlk, which is just
a fancy way of saying "work,"

of other faculty members who've
fallen behind, but where was I?

Ah, yes. Casper,
one more mistake,

and we will take great pleasure
in banishing you...

To the Valley of the Shadows.
Ever hear of that?

Um, yes, sirs.

Well, whatever you've heard,
it's worse.

As you walk the narrow,
twisted trail

that leads to its threshold,

icy winds will chill you
to the core,

and your only companions
will be the screams

of the poor doomed creatures
who have walked

the lonely path before you,
never to return.

Please!
Give me one more chance.

One and only one.
Now go.

Who could that be?

Um, I put an ad in the paper
to rent Casper's room.

Why'd you do that?

Well, the place feels
so empty without him.

( all sobbing,
pounding on door )

Ghosts! Aah!

We're not always like this!

Usually, we're lots of fun!

Casper: I'm doomed.

I'm going to be banished to
the Valley of the Shadows.

Casper, don't talk like that.
We'll help you.

How are we gonna do that?
Casper is friendly.

Which I think is a good thing,
by the way, but he is doomed.

- Ra!
- Then after he gets banished,

we're next in line because
we're friendly, too,

which, again,
I think is a good thing.

Ra!

Casper, the three of us
might not be scary.

We might not even be spooky,
but we are smart.

We can find a way to make
everyone think you're scary.

We just have to use our heads.

What are you looking at?

Go on.
Just like we practiced.

Waah!

Yaah!

( beakers clattering )

Thatch, what seems
to be the problem?

It's Casper.

He scared me and ruined
my experiment.

Really? Casper?

Nice job.

Today, class, an important
part of our history.

From the earliest days
of creaturekind,

Scare School has been guarded
by the slimiest, slitheriest,

and most fearless monster
in all the underworld.

Nothing frightens him,

which is what makes him
so dangerous.

Where is he?
I don't see him.

Back, you fool!

He could swallow you
in one gulp.

He could swallow all of us.

Whoa!

( screams )
We are history!

Boo!

( splash )

Oh, Casper, bravo!

You saved us all.
How did you do it?

Oh, it was nothing.

I just did what ghosts
are supposed to do.

Good boy.
Here's your treat.

( splash )

- I can't do this.
- Oh, sure, you can.

I'll be fine.

( laughs )

Call that mean?
I'll show you mean.

( all scream )

What?!
I thought you liked mean!

Not to me!

Hey, you dropped these.

Thanks.
That was really, uh, nice.

But we won't tell.

( laughs ) Did you see the look
on Thatch's face

when the gym teacher
dragged him out of there?

I nearly popped a stitch.

( all laugh )

( whispering )
Casper, a word.

Bawk! That's the frozen-yogurt
machine.

He's over here.

I trust this conversation
will remain between us.

Casper,
I'm glad we're alone.

- Um, actually--
- I just been talking

to your best mate, Jimmy,
you know, your fleshie friend

who you ain't supposed to be
swapping secret letters with?

- Well--
- Captain.

- Can we talk about this later?
- No.

He says the game
you're secretly sneaking out to

got moved to today.

Don't let this note
get into anyone's hand,

not even your friends,
trust them though ye may.

Uh, thanks.

You're more than welcome.

Shh.

Casper, do you know
how dangerous this is?

I made a promise
to a friend.

Well, if he wants to send you
another note,

he better get the address
of the Valley of the Shadows.

you're right.
You're both right, but-- 6:30?

I got to go!

Jimmy, I'm really sorry.
I missed your game.

We won!
And I scored the winning goal!

You did?
That's awesome.

You were right, Casper.
I can do this.

Thanks.

Casper?

Um, I just wanted to say
thank you

for saving us
from that monster today.

That was pretty cool.
Yeah.

Um, Casper?

Hey!
Casper's not in his bed!

10,000 years here
wiping the noses

of these helpless
cretinous creatures.

- But do we get a statue?
- I don't think so.

I was speaking rhetorically.
We don't get a statue.

Well, too bad the real Kibosh
isn't made of stone.

We could smash him
and crush him and--

Little other, you've just had
a very, very smart idea.

I know I did.

You don't know what it is,
do you?

Mm... no.

If we turn him into stone...

Ah-ha!

You still don't get it,
do you?

Not really.

Sirs, your faith in me
has paid off.

- Now what?
- It's Casper.

- He's not in his bed.
- Neither are you.

Yeah, but I'm ratting on him.

So if he's not in his bed,
where is he?

He's on that ship!
Come on!

You'd better be right
about this.

You'd better not be wasting
our time.

- Thanks, Cap.
- Any time, Casp.

( gasps )

There he is.
Follow me.

Hey, everybody.
What's up?

Is this some
kind of fire drill?

You know what's up.

Well, I'm up,
because you woke me.

He wasn't here
because he was on that boat.

Boat?
I wasn't on any boat.

I was here asleep.
Right, Ra?

( panting ) Yeah.

They're lying!
They're all lying!

I'm the only one here
telling the truth!

This was obviously a complete
waste of our time.

And to think he was our
specially deputized spy.

- Dash: He wasn't.
- Alder: oh.

Well,
if you'd just excuse me,

I'm gonna get back
to sleep here.

( groans )

Wait, what's this?

Ooh, a letter.

"Casper, my soccer game
got changed to today.

I'll see you at 6:30.
I know you'll be there.

You haven't missed one yet.

Signed, your human friend,
Jimmy."

A certain student
whom we need not identify

has done the worst thing it is
possible for a creature to do.

- Read somebody's mail?
- Tattle?

- Wear socks with sandals?
- He has befriended a fleshie.

( all gasp )

Lest any of you get the idea
that this sort of thing is okay,

tomorrow, we'll be going on a
little field trip to Deedstown,

where any creature
who fails to scare a fleshie

will have to answer to us.

Don't take it out on them.

Everyone else shouldn't have
to suffer for my mistake.

Scaring fleshies isn't
suffering, it's what we do.

- Right?
- ( all cheer )

Oh, and by the way, Casper?

your assignment is to scare
a particular fleshie.

Know anyone named Jimmy?

Chin up, laddie.
You'll sail through this fog.

- I'm sure of it.
- Thanks.

I feel so bad
they took your parrot away

to punish you for helping me.

They did?

Raawk.

So typical.
Blame the parrot.

He's a mighty fine bird.

He deserves better crackers
than I give him.

- ( crying )
- Will you be okay to steer?

No worries, matey.

- I can navigate by smell.
- What?

Maybe we should think about
getting on another ship.

What do you care?
You're already dead.

No more interruptions.

We can spend the day
making a petrification potion

to turn Kibosh to stone.

First ingredient--

three painfully extracted
nose hairs.

( Dash screaming )

Hey, look!

all: Casper!

Give your Uncle Fatso a hug.

I want you to meet my friends.

I mean, classmates.

Ra and Mantha,
these are my uncles,

Stinky, Stretch, and Fatso.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.

I'm sorry.
Who was Fatso?

Joke!

I hate to break up
this little tea party,

but it's time to go to work.

( screaming )

Hey-- whoa-- aah!
Whoa! Whoa!

( all screaming )

( groaning )

And the final and
hardest-to-obtain ingredient,

a horse's smile.

What can we test it on?

It works!

But we don't know
if it'll work on a ghost.

When the students return,

let's try it
on that Casper brat.

( both laugh )

Showtime, kid.

Aw, come on!

Casper, is that you?

Don't be scared.

I'm turning
on my flashlight.

Casper, if that's you,
say something.

- Aah!
- ( Jimmy screams )

Casper, I thought
you were my friend.

A-plus, kid.

I hear you got an A-plus.

Yeah. Thanks.

How's the little guy look?

Like, really pale.

He's a ghost,
you bonehead.

Oh, yeah.

Casper: Dear Ra and Mantha,

thanks for trying to help me,
but I'm not cut out for this.

There's only one place
left for me to go.

Looks like the balance
will have to balance
itself without me.

Good-bye,
I guess forever.

Your friend, Casper.

Oh, man.
Oh, man, oh, man.

I can't believe he's going
to the Valley of the Shadows.

We have to tell
the headmasters.

- Sirs!
- Sorry.

I couldn't stop 'em.

- It's about Casper.
- What a coincidence.

We were just
about to send for him.

- Where is the little fellow?
- He ran away.

- He what?
- To the Valley of the Shadows.

But if we don't have him,
who can we use to test the--

- You have to do something.
- His uncles'll be so upset.

That's right.
He has those idiotic uncles.

Who are also ghosts.

Fetch the ghost uncles
so that we may test--

I mean, comfort them.

( voices moaning )

You can't run from me,
Casper.

Who are you?

I'm you,
the monster inside you

that wants to make the fleshies
run in fear.

That's not what I want.
You're not me.

Maybe not yet,
but I will be.

You have no idea
what it's like in there.

It has to be better than being
out here and scaring my friends.

Think of all the humans
left to scare.

Ooh,
the delicious screams.

I know who I am,
and the ghost you want me to be,

the ghost who scared Jimmy,
that's not me.

Where am I?

( birds chirping )

Hey, there, young fellow.

man: Good afternoon, folks,

it's match point in today's
game of tentacle ball.

woman:
Comin' at ya, fur-face.

Slam it, Spitzy!

Oh, you wanna play
r-r-r-uff?

Hey, look!
The moon!

Huh? ( howls )

( cheers and applause )

No fair.
You tricked me.

You're a werewolf, aren't ya?
Well, be more aware!

( laughs )

Excuse me?
Are you Aunt Spitzy?

I'm Spitzy, all right,

but there's only three fellows
ever called me aunt.

I think they're my uncles--
Fatso, Stinky, and Stretch?

( spits ) Holy moley.

If they're your uncles,
you must be Casper.

Look at you,
you've grown so much since--

well,
I never saw you before.

but I'm sure you must
have grown, right?

I'm confused.

I thought the
Valley of the Shadows was awful.

If you're one of those
scare, scare, scare types,

I guess it would be.
So, lemme guess.

You don't like scaring,
you enjoy fun,

and you like making friends.

Yeah. how did you know?

Look around, baby.
That's all of us.

A place where everyone's
like me?

Except with more hair.
( laughs )

Poor Casp.
We'll never see him again.

Alder and Dash must
have some rescue plan

or they wouldn't
have called us.

Are we going the right way?

Hey, I could find
the headmaster's office

if my head's stuck
in a toilet.

Which I once had to.

Casper's uncles.
Finally.

- Is there any news?
- Is Casper all right?

We don't know yet.

Dash: Come in, come in.
So sad.

Terribly trying times.

Hey, hey.

Just the family, okay?

If we knew what was going on,
maybe we can help.

Maybe we can find out.

Eww.

Put it where I can see
in the office.

It's terrible.
It's awful.

Yes, it is, because it left us
with no one to test this on.

What is it?

Stinky:
Will it help get Casper back?

Alder: No, it won't, but it'll
help us take out Kibosh.

We're going to freeze
Kibosh in stone,

then start a reign of horror
against the fleshies,

leaving us the cruel
and merciless rulers

of the underworld
and the overworld.

- Uh, Dash?
- What is it?

We haven't tested it
on ghosts yet, so, like,

we just told them everything,
and, uh...

If this doesn't turn you
to stone, we'd appreciate it

if you'd forget
everything I just said.

all: Run!!

It works!

Hey, can we smash 'em
into ugly dust?

Later.
First we deal with Kibosh.

Summon Kibosh to the school
for an emergency assembly.

Okey-doke, boss.

We've got to find Casper
and tell him.

Casper's the only student who
ever praised me navigatin'.

- I can see why.
- What?

He can see why Casper
would praise you.

You're a very-- agh!

Look out for the big rock!

Plus, those privateers
stole me parrot.

Oh, I've threatened to stuff him
with his own crackers

and cook 'im for every meal
I ever ate,

but I'm lost without
the little feller.

This isn't so bad, really.

Fresh wood shavings,
nice solid perch.

Oh, who am I kidding?
I miss that salty sea dog.

Hang on, Cappy!

I'm coming!

I coulda been
a telephone pole.

But no,
I had to see the world.

Away, ye blighters!

None of your bony fingers
or spooky hollerin'

will make us turn around!

That's right,
our friend's in there.

We don't care
if ye scream and wail.

I don't care
if ye sink me boat.

What?!

This is the most fun
I've ever had.

Hey, Belle, Murray,
meet Casper.

Aah!

- Ahoy, Casper.
- Hello, Casper.

I'm Belle.
That's Murray.

What's wrong?

Sorry, you just remind me
of somebody I used to know.

Yeah, we get that a lot.

Someone has to go in.
Do not look at me.

No creature that goes through
yon gate can e'er return.

But we could send someone
who's not a creature.

What?

( screams ) Oh, please!

Don't gobble me guts with
yer ravenous demon teeth!

No! Please!

Casper: Hi.

Uh, hi?

What if he can't find Casper?

Give him another minute
in that festerin' pit

of inhuman sufferin'.

Thank ye.

Lemon square?

Oh, don't mind if I do.

Oh! Wait!

There's something
I have to tell you.

The headmasters have turned
your beloved uncles to stone.

- Uncles?
- ( spits ) My nephews?

What do you mean?
How could that happen?

I don't know for sure,

but I know they plan on
doing the same to Kibosh.

Then nothing can stop them
from scaring the whole world.

I don't understand.

How could Alder and Dash
do something so horrible?

Both: Alder and Dash?

My sweet little Alder and Dash
would never do that.

You know them?

- I'm their aunt.
- I'm their uncle.

Both: We're their Ankle.

Alder and Dash

Murray:

Belle:

Casper: Boy, they're nothing
like that anymore.

What happened to them?

( thunder crashes )

Belle: After we were banished,
the shock must have made them

turn horribly,
horribly horrible.

Remember, this is what happens
when you're too friendly.

I've got to stop Alder
and Dash and save my uncles.

That wimpy ghost banished
himself because of me.

How awesome am I, right?

This had better be good.

Oh, it will be.

But first, your good-bye song.

The balance
will be destroyed!

Hm, doesn't seem like he knows
so much about balance after all.

( cheering and laughter )

Time to unleash our fury
on the fleshies of Deedstown!

Uh, sirs?
A suggestion.

Seeing as how my diligence
and spectacular treachery

pretty much put you
where you are today--oof.

The ship's gone.

Where's that
perfidious pirate?

Wait. He left a note.

"Arrr."

- What do we do now?
- Take the Viking ship!

I hate that Viking ship.
I get seasick.

And there's not enough room
for my side of the leg.

Well, what do you want to do?

Let's wait for the pirate
to get back.

That's a stupid idea.
He could be gone for weeks.

Fine, we'll take
the Viking ship, happy?

If only I'd been there.

Maybe I could
have done something.

Are you kidding?
You're lucky you were here.

We're all lucky.

This is the only
safe place in the world.

I've got to go back.
I've got to save my uncles.

- But you can't go back.
- How do you know?

- Because you can't go back.
- We're banished.

- That's just how it is.
- But have you ever tried?

Listen, kid, we've got hot
and cold running happy here.

Why would we?

This is the one place
on Earth

where we're allowed
to be ourselves.

Where we're allowed
to be friendly.

- ♪ We've always-- ♪
- Wait.

what's the point
of being friendly

if you can't be with
the people you care about?

( all chatter )

And what's the point
of being safe if my uncles

and your nephews and your family
members are all in danger?

And what's the point
of being happy if being happy

means being afraid to stand up
for what you believe in?

Now, come on, everybody.

Let's go show those guys that
just because we're friendly

doesn't mean
you can push us around.

Follow me through
the terrifying vortex!

Um... how about one last time
down the water slide?

( all cheer )

It's been long enough.
Haul him in!

Aah! It's true!
Nobody can return.

Not even a wooden carving
on a stick.

( group cheering )

- Hey, guys.
- Casper!

Welcome back, little feller.

We thought we'd lost ye
for good.

Weigh anchor, captain.
To Deedstown!

We're here
live from Deedstown,

Where the Scare School students
are running amok.

They've taken the offensive
early, Jim,

and it looks like it's all
over for the fleshies.

A gal goes away for
a couple of hundred years,

and everything changes.

That cement shopper
wasn't here.

Deedstown ho!

( gasps ) Oh, no.
Jimmy.

What's happening?

Don't worry, Jimmy.
I'll protect you.

Yeah,
just like the last time.

I was wrong to do what I did,
but we've got to pull together.

Right now, friendship is
the only thing that can save us.

Now here's what
we're going to do.

Come on, you cowards!

I'll take on
both of ye at once.

- Uh, there's four of us?
- Uh-oh.

- Cappy!
- Beaky!

Left! Okay, up!
Now go right!

Down! 43 Degrees.
Okay, port! starboard! aft!

It's great to have ye back,

but I can't hold 'em off
forever!

Mantha: You don't have to!

Hey, over here.

- You?
- Impossible.

( blows raspberry )

Ready, guys?

Fire at will!

Goal!

Get that one!

Yeah!

- Boo!
- both: Aaah!

Don't you dare
point that thing at us.

Alder and Dash: Ankle?!

Oh, Ankle, it's really you.

We thought
it was just a dream.

We're glad to see you, too,

but you've got
some explaining to do.

What's all this
about taking over the world,

upsetting the balance,
and turning everyone into stone?

Both: It was his idea.
No, it was your idea.

Boys, no fighting.

Say, is there something
behind Alder's ear, Murray?

A shiny quarter.

Maybe we might even
sing a song for you.

If you stop trying to scare
the entire world

and undo this mess
you've made.

And turn all these creatures
and people back to normal.

- But, Ankle--
- No buts.

- Do you both understand us?
- Both: Yes, Ankle.

Thatch: Not so fast.

I don't have any two-headed
freak to turn me into mush.

And I know the
quarter-behind-the-ear trick.

( gasps ) Trick?

There's a new king
of the creatures,

and his name's Thatch.

I'm gonna be a merciless,
world-dominating legend.

And you know what else
I'm gonna be?

Oh!

Dizzy?

Sorry, Casper.
Was that too mean?

Actually,
I'm okay with it.

Now that that's done,
is there anybody who can make us

- a frothy mocha chai?
- I want a frothy chai mocha.

What just happened?

Tell me, ya bony, blithering,
hook-fingered flea magnet!

Hey, what did I do?

I'm sorry.
I'm awful sorry.
