I'm about to risk my life again, Muriel.

That's right, the Arbuckle house.

That cat's been doing everything he can this week to scare me.

He wears costumes. Monday, he was a zombie.

Tuesday, he was a mummy.

Today... today, I can't imagine

what horrible, bone-chilling creature he'll be dressed as.

[ominous music]

[teeth chattering]

[ominous music]

[moaning in terror]

[door creaking]

[gasping]

Hi. I'll take that.

[Muriel] Herman? Herman, are you there?

Herman, talk to me. Herman?

Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Oh!

Here's an ad for a company that can reduce your bills.

Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill.

In case you haven't figured it out yet folks,

Jon's nieces are visiting.

[Drusilla and Minerva] Kitty cat! Kitty cat!

Kitty cat! Kitty cat!

That would be them. Drusilla and Minerva.

Or is it Minerva and Drusilla? I can't tell.

[giggling] There he is!

Now let's dress him up for his senior prom.

He needs to make an important fashion statement.

I have an important fashion statement for you.

No!

-[Garfield panting] -After him!

We need to dress him up!

Hurry, hurry! Oh, don't let Garfield get away!

Let's highlight his hair!

-[Garfield gasping] -We can make him blond!

[thudding]

There will be no running.

There will be no dressing Garfield up in cute frilly outfits.

[gasping]

[sighing in relief] I'm so glad Jon is around.

There will also be no watching TV.

I wish Jon wasn't here.

[Jon] I know you, Garfield.

You're going to watch the monster movie marathon that's on tonight.

I have to!

Twenty-four solid hours of ghouls,

goblins and things that go "eek" in the night!

Oh, please!

[in unison] We want to watch too! We want to watch too!

No.

I'm not going to deal with two little girls' nightmares.

-[ominous music] -[sighing sadly]

-[Odie giggling] -Two little girls and one little puppy.

Odie wants to watch too.

[Odie whining in agreement]

[gasping] I've made up my mind.

-No monster movies. -[sighing sadly]

Besides, it'll be scary enough around here

if we have that big thunderstorm they're predicting.

Now, go get ready for dinner.

I'm always ready for dinner. And lunch.

And breakfast. And a 2:00 a.m. snack.

And all the buffets, and...

-[owl hooting] -[thunder clapping]

Good night, Uncle Jon.

Good night, Minerva! Good night, Drusilla!

No, I'm Drusilla. She's Minerva.

-[buzzer ringing] -Whatever.

[sighing in frustration]

-[snoring] -[Jon] Good night, guys!

And remember: No monster movies.

-No monster movies. -[Odie yipping]

[thunder clapping]

[giggling]

[Odie panting and barking]

[movie host] Welcome to tonight's 24-hour marathon

of the scariest movies ever made.

[Odie whining]

Shh. We have to keep the volume down so Jon can't hear it upstairs.

Whatever you do, no matter how much the movie scares you,

do not yell out in fear.

[Jon clearing his throat]

-[Odie yowling] -[thunder clapping]

[sighing sadly]

[Jon] Perhaps you didn't understand

the meaning of the phrase "No monster movies."

Roughly translated, it means "No monster movies."

Oh well, if you explain it like that...

I'm going to bed... again.

-[ominous music] -[groaning]

[thunder clapping]

-[phone ringing] -What? Huh?

[groaning] Who could that be in the middle of the night?

[sighing] Hello? Who is this?

This is me, Eddie Gourmand.

I think my car won't start, but I can't try it and see

because I locked my keys in my car.

Are you listening to me, Arbuckle?

[moaning] Uh-huh.

I'm out here on North Branch Road

near the intersection with Miller's Turnpike

and it's raining and it's very wet.

I think my shorts are shrinking up on me.

Uh-huh.

I need you to come out here and help me, Arbuckle.

Right this minute!

-Have you considered-- -[Eddie Gourmand] Don't ask me

if I've considered calling a garage

because there are none around here

and my wallet is in my car which I can't get into

because it's locked.

-Uh-huh. -And besides,

the battery on my cell phone is dying

and we could be cut off at any minute.

[moaning]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[suspenseful music]

I'll be back as soon as I help Eddie.

The twins are sound asleep, but if they wake up,

keep an eye on them. And remember...

[in unison] No monster movies!

I know the drill.

He's probably turning the monster movies on right now.

[engine revving]

[intriguing music]

[movie host] In a moment, we return to our film,

The Creature That Ate Everything!

The first time I heard of this movie, I thought it was about me.

-[Odie laughing] -Huh?

[wind howling]

-[woman] Brett! The electricity's out! -[Garfield gasping]

But they're telling me the monster with the tentacles

is nowhere around here.

It's in the basement.

That's what they always tell you, Lola,

when the monster with the tentacles is nearby.

-It's in the basement! -[Odie whining]

[woman] Yes, but where could it be hiding?

-[gasping] It's in the basement! -[the twins] It's in the basement!

-[Odie whining] -[twins' teeth chattering]

Move over, Odie. Make room for the ladies.

[thunder clapping]

[ominous music]

Are you comfy, Drusilla?

-No, I'm Minerva. You're Drusilla. -I think.

[man] Lola! The creature's coming closer.

-And closer. -[Odie whining]

-And closer and closer. -[twins gasping]

-And closer and closer. And closer. -[twins gasping]

[thunder clapping]

[screaming]

-Get off me. -It's just lightning and thunder.

That's right. There's nothing to be afraid of.

[in unison] Unless the creature with the tentacles is nearby!

Oh, Brett! There must be some way

to destroy the creature! -[Odie's teeth chattering]

-[man] There is. -[woman] Then tell me!

Tell me, Brett!

Tell us too, Brett!

-[rain pouring down] -[ominous music]

[sighing]

[thudding]

[crashing]

[man] The only way to destroy the creature

is to take a piece of liverwurst

and-- -[screaming]

What do we do with the liverwurst?

The lights all went out, Minerva.

-Or am I Minerva? -I can't tell with the lights out.

Okay, I see. You're Minerva.

-[Odie muttering] -Huh?

And we never find out what to do with the liverwurst.

Let's find some flashlights.

We'd better hurry.

The creature with the tentacles could be nearby.

[Odie whining]

-And we're all out of liverwurst. -[screaming]

Imagine that!

I had the keys in my pocket all along,

and my car starts right up.

[laughing] I guess the joke's on me.

[laughing weakly] On you, yes.

[tires screeching] Bye, Arbuckle!

Goodbye, Eddie.

[groaning]

I hope my pets and twins are all right.

And I hope they aren't up watching monster movies...

[ominous music]

Drusilla, do you think the creature with the tentacles

is in this house?

You saw in the movie.

Just before it went into that home,

all the electricity in the house went out...

-[both] Just like it did here! -[Odie yowling]

Oh, where's Garfield?

Where else would he be? He's in the kitchen.

[Odie screaming]

[screaming and yelping]

I can't open the refrigerator to get something to eat while the power's off

or I'll let out the cold air that is in there and the food will spoil.

[Odie whining]

I can't microwave anything because the microwave won't work.

[Odie whining]

I can't open a can of anything because the can opener is electric.

[Odie whining]

[gasping] We're going to starve!

[sobbing] We're going to starve, I tell you.

[sighing] What a time to forget my house key.

And the doorbell's not working.

[pounding at door]

[screaming]

-Who's that? -Maybe it's Uncle Jon.

Uncle Jon has a key.

It must be...

[both] The creature with the tentacles!

[sobbing] We're going to starve!

[sobbing] Oh, wait.

There's cookies!

Never mind.

[screaming] The creature with the tentacles!

-He's at the front door! -[Odie gasping]

-[Odie whining] -Don't panic!

We need the wagon from down in the basement!

And leave the basement door open!

Oh, I forgot about the spare key I keep under the welcome mat.

[suspenseful music]

[screaming]

[gasping]

[door creaking open]

The creature's coming in the door.

Everyone! I'm baaaaa--

-[screaming] -Uncle Jon!

[screaming]

-[yowling in pain] -[crashing]

It's not the creature with the tentacles.

[Drusilla] It's Uncle Jon.

Odie, I think this would be a very good time to go to bed.

In another country.

[Jon] Garfield! When I get my hands on you!

[twins] Good night, Uncle Jon.

[Garfield] Good night, Uncle Jon.

[Odie whining]

[sighing] Monster with the tentacles.

[voice] Hello?

[creature] Marge? I'm going to skip this house.

I saw what two little girls, a dog and a cat did to the owner.

I'll be home before dawn.

Oh, and make sure there's no liverwurst around.

-Bye-bye! -[ominous music]

[upbeat music]
