[happy chatter]

-[kid 1] ...yeah. -[kid 2] Hey, you guys!

-[doorbell rings] -Oh, boy! Not more trick-or-treaters.

There's something I don't like about Halloween.

Maybe it's giving perfectly good candy away to total strangers...

instead of me eating it.

Trick or treat!

Here's one for you and one for you and one for you.

Here's one for me, and one for me, and one for me.

[gasps] Peppermint!

Now, make sure you don't eat all the candy, Garfield.

Leave some for the trick-or-treaters.

Hey! The bowl's empty.

The candy is all gone.

Gee, I wonder where it all went. [swallows]

[sighs] I'd better go out and buy some more.

[coughs] First, dinner. Then you go out and buy some more.

[doorbell rings]

[Jon gasps] More trick-or-treaters! Garfield, get the door.

-[kid 3] Trick-or-treat! -[kid 4] Or wash your feet! [laughs]

Sorry. All out of candy. Come back next year.

[Jon] Garfield! That's mean.

Open the door and give them something we don't need.

[Odie yelps]

Here. We don't need this.

[Odie] Huh?

Garfield! You can't give Odie away.

[sighs] The only candy we have left now

is this old taffy you didn't eat last Halloween.

-[Odie barks] -Don't touch any of it.

Don't worry. There are some things in the world even I won't eat...

and stale taffy is most of them.

[sighs] This is a night for free goodies!

All I need is a costume. Let's see now!

Hey, Odie, what do you think I should go as?

-[barks] -Besides an overweight pussycat!

The scarier the costume, the more treats you get.

Now, let's see. What can I dress as that will be really scary?

I'm coming to you live from the zoo where visitors are flocking to see

what may well be the scariest creature

-ever housed here. -Scariest?

He's Catzilla, a rare and near descendant

of the pre-historic sabre-tooth tiger.

-[growls and roars] -Everyone seems very afraid of him.

Which might mean they'll give him lots and lots of candy.

-[spooky music] -[wolf howling]

[Garfield] Jon won't mind if I use his paint.

And the reason he won't mind is he won't know.

Where's that toy walrus Jon won at the carnival ring toss game last year?

Mind if I borrow these? Of course you don't.

You're a toy.

Now, I need to capture that savage Catzilla look.

[grumbles]

No. No good.

If I'm going to look really mean,

I'll have to think of something to make me look really hostile.

I'm a-sorry, kitty cat. We have no more pepperoni for your pizza.

How about some nice raisins?

No, more hostile than that.

Come on, Garfield! Let's do some aerobic exercises

and then we'll eat nothing but lettuce for a month!

Not quite. It's got to be something to make me truly hostile.

Hiya! Garfield! Yes, it's me, Nermal!

I'm coming to live with you and I'm gonna sleep in your bed!

[grumbles and howls]

That's it! Now... to the treats!

Hey, let's see what's on the news.

[newswoman] Before we go, let's take one last look at Catzilla...

We can't get too close to this fierce beast because--

Where's the fierce beast? Where's Catzilla? [gasps]

-[Jon gasps] -[newswoman] He's gone!

Catzilla has escaped! [screams]

[crowd screaming in panic]

[Catzilla stomps]

[yells] We'd better lock the doors! We're not far from the zoo.

[Odie whimpering]

Hope they have peanut brittle. Hope they have peanut brittle...

[neighbor yells] This is terrible! That beast is loose!

Maybe I should warn the trick-or-treaters to get inside!

Oh! Did you see the news? They said--

-[growls] -[screams]

Pretty good.

Hey! No peanut brittle.

That's right... Catzilla! He's on this street! [yells]

Send help at once!

-[growls] -[screams] Catzilla!

[sighs] Another good haul. But no peanut brittle.

Of course I recognized him! It was Catzilla! Right here on my street!

[shrieks]

What is it with these people?

Don't they know how popular peanut brittle is?

It was Catzilla, I'm sure of it!

I was just watching the TV news report of how he escaped from the zoo.

[wolf howls]

[Garfield] Let's see. 23 houses. 23 bowls of candy.

Total amount of peanut brittle?

Zero.

Maybe I'll have better luck at the next twenty-three houses.

-[sirens wailing] -[police agent] There he is! Right there!

We have you surrounded.

[dramatic music]

He's making a break for it! After him!

[Garfield screams]

He's hopping on the fence! Get the light on him!

Hey, do I tell everybody what you're up to?

[panting] Hiding place... hiding place...

No sign of him back here.

When they catch him, they're going to ship him off to a zoo in Siberia.

Siberia? All I wanted was some peanut brittle.

-I have to get home. I'll be safer there. -[Catzilla grumbles]

[panting] Almost there. Almost there.

[newswoman] We have reports that Catzilla has been sighted

-on the West side. -[moans]

He is extremely dangerous and everyone is warned to watch for him.

-[Odie moans] -[Garfield pants]

[barks]

Yowp is right!

It's Catzilla!

[scary music playing]

[door banging]

Police, this is Jon Arbuckle! Catzilla is on my front porch! Hurry!

-Don't let him get away! -[Garfield] Come on!

I'm a registered cat. You can't do that! Take your hands off me!

I'm a registered cat!

Good work! We'll get him back to the zoo right away!

You guys have it all wrong! I'm not Catzilla! I live in there!

[Garfield] There! There's Catzilla.

See... there! He's sneaking into our house!

-Phew! That was close! -[Odie sighs]

Imagine the terror and the danger of having Catzilla in our home!

Let me out! Get me an attorney!

Get me an attorney named Murray!

I'm not Catzilla! He's in my house,

about to chomp the puppy and that guy who cooks my lasagna!

I gotta get out of here.

It's open at the top. Maybe if I climb out!

[grunting] I can do it!

I can do it! [yells]

I can't do it.

Maybe I can pry the bars open.

[grunting]

[panting]

[grunting]

[sigh] I give up. I'm not a superhero.

I'm not a bodybuilder. I'm just a flabby, out of shape pussycat.

Hey! I'm a flabby, out of shape pussycat!

Yoo hoo, anybody! I shouldn't be in here!

Hello?

You shouldn't be in there! You're not Catzilla!

You're a flabby, out of shape pussycat!

You noticed.

-Where's Catzilla? -I know where Catzilla is...

And I've gotta get home before he goes trick-or-treating

with Odie and Jon as the treats.

[sinister music playing]

[munching]

-[Catzilla growls] -Care for some fruit, Odie?

[Catzilla snarls]

Gee, you were hungry.

[gasps]

[Jon] I'll get some more snacks.

Where is that light switch?

Hey, how come the light switch is all furry?

-[Catzilla growls] -[Jon gasps]

-[Jon shrieks] -[Catzilla growls]

[Catzilla growls]

-Catzilla! -Jon! Odie!

Catzilla's in the house!

[Catzilla snarls]

Oh, you've noticed!

[Garfield screams]

[Catzilla growls]

[Jon shrieks]

-[Catzilla grumbles] -[Garfield screams]

[skid]

[all screaming]

[Catzilla growls]

[all screaming]

[Catzilla growls]

[pants]

[Jon screams]

[all screaming]

[Garfield] Help!

[Catzilla meows and growls]

Maybe we can give him something else to eat.

Like Jon's car or something.

Wait! I know!

[Garfield] Quick, Odie.

Open up these wrappers of taffy.

[growling]

Here, fella. Trick or treat!

[munching]

[chewing with effort]

Having trouble chewing, fella?

Well, I don't think he'll be biting anyone for a while.

There he is! There's Catzilla!

Be careful with him, men!

[muttering]

-[Jon] Bet you're glad to have him back. -We sure are.

[gasps] Say, it's feeding time.

Wow! When I'm around, it's always feeding time.

Catzilla has quite an appetite.

Each meal, he gets ten steaks, ten cans of salmon...

a roast beef or two, a dozen lasagnas...

and for dessert, and you might think this is odd,

his favorite thing is peanut brittle!

Wow! It's wonderful! Peanut brittle! [sighs]

What are we waiting for? It's feeding time!

Mind if I join you for dinner, smiley?
