[both giggle] - Ah!

[all chattering happily]

- Yarr! Happy Halloween, mateys!

[both scream, giggle]

- Now hand over yer booty,

or I'll make you walk the plank!

- Oooh, Kermie.

Your skeleton pirate costume

makes you look so spooky.

- Thanks, Piggy. That witch's hat makes you look--

- Gorgeous? Enchanting?

Bee-yootiful?

- I was gonna say taller.

- Hmm.

- But sure, that too.

- Wocka wocka!

Yodel-lodel-lay-heehoo!

[all giggle]

- Boo! - Wahh!

- Happy Halloween, Fozzie.

Yarr! [giggles]

- [sighs] Your costume scared me silly, Kermit.

- Kermie's costume is supposed to be spooky, Fozzie.

It's Halloween.

Summer and I are spooky witches.

- Animal is werewolf.

From space. [laughs]

- Wait a minute.

You mean, I'm the only one

who didn't wear a spooky costume?

This funny yodeler costume's all I brought today.

- Well that's okay. You don't have to be spooky on Halloween.

- Yeah, Gonzo dressed as a dentist.

- A dentist...for zombies!

- Ooh! That's spooky!

But maybe I can be spooky if I'm...

a haunted yodeler.

Yodel-odel-lay-hee-boo!

[laughter]

- Good one, Fozzie. - Yeah.

Fozzie make best jokes.

- But I'm not trying to be funny!

Hmph, I'll show you.

I'm gonna make my Halloween costume

totally spooktacular!

[spooky laughter]

[all chattering happily]

I'll show them a spooky costume.

These fake vampire teeth will scare 'em for sure.

[laughs]

Blah!

Rahm a rooky rampah!

- What'd you say, Fozzie?

- Rahm a rooky rampah!

- You're a kooky panda?

- No, no no no. Rahm a rooky rampa--

- [laughs] You really are a kooky panda.

- No! I said I'm a spooky vampire.

- Wearing lederhosen?

- Yeah, see?

Rodel-rodel-ray-reebleehh!

- Vampire yodeler?

[laughing] Hilarious!

- [groans]

[spooky laughter]

[indistinct chatter]

Oooo, this mask will spook 'em for sure.

Grr! Arrg!

- Whoa, what's that?

- It's a macaroni monster mask,

which makes me...monsteroni!

[laughter]

- Monsteroni? [laughs]

Fozzie, your costumes are hysterical.

[excited gasping] Do that kooky panda thing again.

- Stop laughing!

I just want my costume to be scary like everyone else's.

- But Fozzie, we thought you liked being funny.

- Not when it means I'm the only one who's different.

It's Halloween, I don't wanna be left out.

Well, you know what?

I'm gonna think of something so spooky, it'll...

spook your pants off!

- Gee, Fozzie seems really upset.

- Should we try to cheer him up?

- What if we put underwear on our heads?

That'll cheer him up!

- Umm, maybe we just shouldn't

laugh at his costumes anymore.

- Got it.

We'll call mine Plan B.

[spooky laughter]

- [sighs]

[thud]

- How you doing, Fozzie?

- [muffled] I'm-okay-Miss-Nanny.

- Well, if you're not busy,

I could really use some help

getting these Halloween cookies ready for snack time.

- Cookies? But...what's this on the cookie?

- A haunted house, you know, with ghosts

and cobwebs and other spooky stuff.

I just need to put the sprinkles on them.

- [chewing loudly] Mmm!

Nanny, that's it.

Even if I can't wear a spooky costume today,

I can be spooky by making a haunted house!

Umm...but first, I'm gonna need another cookie.

- Nice try, Fozzie.

[spooky laughter]

- Heya heya heya!

You're all invited to

my scary Haunted Playground!

- A haunted playground?

- Cool! When?

- Right after I make one.

- Animal help! - Nope.

That'd ruin the surprise.

No peeksies!

[eerie music]

- Welcome to the Haunted Playground!

My name is Fear-zie the Scare Bear,

and I'll be your guide.

Follow me... - Okay, everyone remember.

Fozzie's trying to show us he can be spooky for Halloween.

So no laughing. Got it? all: Got it!

- Our first stop is the Haunted Tree!

But watch out for flying ghosts,

witches, and...

rubber chickens!

Pretty scary, aah?

- Wow, what a...surprise.

- Definitely not funny. - Oh, yeah.

- But the spookies have just begun!

Please, step right this way...

Ooo!

What's that sound

coming from the Haunted Bog?

Could it be...a swamp monster?

[twinkling]

[slurps]

[burps]

Excuse me.

- Ew. - I got this one.

Oooh, no!

A swamp monster! Eeeee!

- It's working!

Now I'm spooky just like they are!

Hey, if you think that's scary,

beware what awaits us at the haunted picnic table.

- I hope it's lunch.

Pretending to be scared

really works up an appetite.

- [sighs]

Fozzie need Animal help.

Huh?

Aha!

[giggles]

Now Animal help.

Ooo!

- Well what do we have here?

- Oooh, sandwiches!

- Ahh, not just any sandwiches...

the Walking Bread!

[imitating zombie grunts]

- This isn't very spooky.

- I know, but Fozzie's trying really hard.

We just gotta keep encouraging him.

- Oh boy, now for my final scare!

[giggles mischievously]

- Wow Fozzie,

this haunted playground sure is--

- Hey, where is Fozzie?

- Yeah, where'd he go?

all: Fozzie! Fozzie!

- Foz--I mean, uh, Fearzie! - Yoohoo!

all: Fearzie!

- Ooo, ooo!

[all scream]

- Wow, Fozzie!

You really scared us that time.

- Now that's a spooky ghost!

- You really think so?

Boo! Boo I say, boo!

- Wait a minute.

If Fozzie's the ghost over there...

- Then that means...

- Boo!

- A real g-g-g-g-ghost?

[all screaming]

- Ooo!

[all scream, gasp]

- [laughs]

[all screaming]

- Boo!

[laughing]

[all screaming]

Ooo, ooo!

[rapidly] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, wow.

[shudders] Huh? Hm?

[stealthy music]

Hm? Huh?

- If that's really a ghost back there,

there's only one thing we can do...

- Got it. Plan B: Underwear on our heads. Let's do this.

- What? No Gonzo, we have to scare it away!

With our spooky costumes.

- But the ghost didn't seem scared

when he was chasing us around the yard.

- Oh, this is all my fault.

If I hadn't built this haunted playground,

we wouldn't have wound up chased by a real ghost.

So, I'm the one who's gotta get rid of him.

- No! - Don't do it!

- He'll spook your pants off!

- Uh...Hey!

- Huh?

- Y-you get outta here,

you spooky gho-o-whoa!

- [chuckles]

- Hey, the ghost is laughing!

- It thinks Fozzie's funny!

- Yeah, tell it a joke, Fozzie!

- Uh, okay...

[clears throat] What kind of mistakes do ghosts make?

Boo-boos! Aaah?

- [stifled laughter]

- He's trying not to laugh. Tell him another joke, Fozzie!

- How 'bout this one?

What's a ghost's favorite dessert?

Ice scream! Ahh? Ahhh?

- [stifled laughter]

- Finish him off with the kooky panda joke!

- Good idea.

Ramah rooky rampah!

- [stifled laughter]

[guffaws]

[continues laughing]

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. [shudders, laughs]

- The ghost is gone!

- Fozzie, you saved us.

You scared the ghost away!

- No he didn't, he "funnied" it away!

- [gasps] I did!

- Who knew that ghosts like jokes so much?

- [laughs] Fozzie funny!

- I guess my silly costume was a good one after all.

Even if it's not spooky, like yours.

- We don't want you to be spooky

just because it's Halloween.

You can be whatever you want to be,

even funny Fozzie Bear!

Good. 'Cause I think I'm better at being funny

than being spooky. Aaaah?

[laughter]

Um, you don't think the ghost will come back though, do you?

- Maybe!

Happy Halloween! [laughs]

- "The Teeth Chattering Tale of the Haunted Pancakes!"

[yelps]

[cackling]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hi, Kermit! - Wow.

What's all this spooky stuff for?

- Miss Nanny made us a Halloween breakfast.

- So hungry. Can't wait!

- Happy Halloween, everyone!

all: Pancakes!

- Oh boy. They're my favorite!

- And these aren't just any pancakes--they're special.

See? They're shaped like ghosts!

And, I used blueberries for the eyes.

- I think that makes them booberries, aaah?

Wocka wocka!

Get it, Kermit? Boo-berries.

Cause they're ghosts.

- [sighs]

- Hey, you're not laughing.

Is something wrong?

- It's just that... these pancakes

aren't like the ones my mom makes.

She makes them round, not ghost-shaped.

And they never have blueberries in them.

- Mmm, you should taste them, Kermie.

- [muffled] They're delicious.

- And there's plenty of maple syrup.

Mmm!

- I don't need to taste them.

I know I won't like them.

- You might love my blueberry pancakes, Kermit.

Don't be afraid to try something new.

- I'm not afraid. - Mmm, you know,

they taste like they're missing something.

Mm, do we have any Ranch dressing?

all: Ew!

- I don't think so.

But I know something else that goes great with pancakes:

warm butter. I'll bring some out.

- Hmm.

- Hey, I know another something else that would go great

with our ghost pancakes... a ghost story!

- Oh, that's so good. - That's a great idea.

- Make it one of those old timey ghost stories!

And put in lots of ooky-spooky ghosts.

- No, no, tell one about Count Dracula, the vampire!

He vas the ooky-spookiest!

- Animal want werewolf.

[howls]

- And I want monsters! - Okay, got it.

One ooky-spooky Halloween story, comin' up!

Once upon a time...

there was a sleepy little town called Halloween Hollow.

The villagers named it after their favorite holiday.

- Ooh! Thanksgiving? - Fozzie.

It's called Halloween Hallow.

- Oh, right...

Fourth of July? - Good grief.

- Anyway... In Halloween Hollow,

everyone's favorite holiday was Halloween.

Each year they threw a big party,

and all the townspeople came.

The schoolteacher was first to arrive:

Kermabod Crane.

- Kermabod? What kinda name is that?

- Shh, it's an old timey ghost story name!

- Ohhh. Uh, right. Got it.

- Next to arrive was Count Fozzicula.

- Vleh! Count Fozzicula vants to scare you

vith his chompy vampire teeth!

Ha. Ha. Ha.

- Then came the town werewolf:

WereAnimal!

- [howls]

- And he brought his friends,

Pigenstein Monster...

- Les grr. Les roooar.

- And, um...

[woman screams]

This guy! - The Great Gonz-O'Lantern!

- Oookay.

- If you say so.

- C'mon, let's eat.

[all giggling]

- These villagers were a strange group, all right.

But they sure threw a good party

with lots of food,

like boooo-berry pancakes.

Everyone in Halloween Hollow

loved the yummy pancakes,

except for Kermabod.

He wouldn't try them.

- You bet I won't. Yuck.

- But what Kermabod didn't know

was that, just at that moment,

something was passing by. both: Whoa!

- It was the Witch of Trying New Things!

- Seriously?

- She could hear someone

turning up his nose

from a mile away,

and she loved making

Halloween mischief.

- Don't wanna try boo-berry pancakes, huh?

Then how about I make them trying for you!

- With a wave of her wand,

she turned the pancakes into ghosts!

- Ghosts?

[all gasp]

- [cackles]

- Yikes! Now they're twice as yucky as before.

Bleh.

- Oh no, Kermabod!

The ghost pancakes heard you "yuck" them.

Now there's going to be...

trouble.

- [yelps]

- Yes indeed,

by refusing to try the pancakes,

Kermabod Crane sent them into a tizzy!

- Oh! No tizzy, no tizzy!

- They're making a huge mess!

all: What are we gonna do?

I just don't like to try-yyy...

New things.

- Whoa! Those pancake ghosts

are even wilder than Were-Animal.

- We have to find a way to catch them,

before they make an even bigger mess

and destroy Halloween Hollow!

all: Whoa! Ah!

- Where'd they go? I don't see them.

- [gulps] I do.

[rumbling]

[ghosts howling, cackling]

- Here they come!

Come back here! - Gah! Hold still!

- Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

- Yeah. Halloween gets weirder every year.

[chicken clucks]

both: Whoa!

- [grunts]

Uh-oh. [groaning]

- Things were not looking good for the villagers...

[all sigh]

- Catching the ghosts with our hands

is not working.

We have to try something new.

- Something new? [whines]

- [chicken clucking] - Hmm.

I think I've got an idea.

[cackling]

- Umm, how does this work again?

- We tickle them until they surrender, obviously.

- Y'know, you could just try the pancakes.

- No way! - Suit yourself.

- Let's do this! all: Yeah!

- Tickle, tickle, tickle! - Tickle, tickle, tickle!

- Tickle, tickle, tickle! - Tickle, tickle, tickle!

- Ah... - Ah...

all: Ah...boo!

both: Ah-boo!

- Ah-boo! - Gesundheit.

- Tickling them isn't working!

- Ya! It's just making them sneeze.

- Ah-boo! - [yelps]

- Ah-boo! - [yelps]

[rumbling]

[thud] both: Phew.

- Catching the ghosts with giant feathers

isn't working at all. - No.

Vee must try something new!

- [sighs] Again?

[cackling]

[squeaks] - [giggles]

- Okay everyone. On the count of three,

ve use these rubber chickens to make the ghosts laugh.

- Or, you could just try the pancakes.

- I said, no! - Fine.

- Ready? One, two, three!

[ghosts howl]

all: Whoa! - Are they laughing yet?

- I can't tell! - Uh-oh!

- But the rubber chickens were of no use!

- I'm sensing a theme.

- Soon the villagers would have no choice

but for Kermabod to try the pancakes.

- These rubber chickens aren't working either.

[sighs] There's only one thing left to do.

- Yes! - Use maple syrup.

- What?

[cackling]

- Are you sure these new syrup squirters

will work on the pancakes? I've never used one before.

- I'm sure.

Hey, pancakes!

Prepare to be stickified.

Let's get 'em!

[all yell]

[spooky rock music]

[all yell]

- [startled yelp] - Yahoo!

- [laughing] Yah!

[air hissing] - [grunting]

Oh, no! I'm out of syrup!

- [gasps] We're out of syrup too!

- And there's still a gazillion of them left.

- What do we do?

- Kermabod, there's no other way.

You've got to try the pancakes.

- No! I don't like trying new things.

I'm... I'm...

I'm afraid. - Aww.

Well, ya tried the feathers. They were new.

- Yeah. And you tried the rubber chicken poles,

they were new too.

- Hm. Those were both disasters.

- Hey, the feather idea was perfect.

I blame user error.

- And...you tried the syrup squirters.

- Oh, yeah! Those were pretty fun.

- Not every new thing you try's gonna be amazing.

- But some things will be.

- Yeah... I guess you're right.

- Ugh. Finally.

- Hm. Alright, haunted pancakes!

Just this once...

I'll try you.

- And so at last,

Kermabod tried the haunted pancakes.

- Mm, mm.

They're...

They're... all: Yes?

- They're great!

- The witch's spell was broken.

The haunted pancakes returned to normal

and Halloween Hollow was saved.

[laughter]

The end.

[applause]

- Great story, Summer. - Yeah.

And I get it.

If Kermabod can try the pancakes,

I guess I can too.

Mm, mm. Yum!

- Squirt, squirt, squirt! - Here's the warm butter.

- You're stickified!

- Oh. But how did we run out of syrup?

- [humming] No idea.

- And, Kermit! You tried the pancakes after all.

- I did, and they're really good!

I'm sorry I said I wouldn't like them.

I should've tried them before deciding.

- That's okay, Kermit.

You were very brave to try something new.

- Yeah! Even if these pancakes aren't haunted.

[all giggle]

- [gasps] Oh, no!

- Kermie, are you okay? - What is it?

- My boo-berry pancakes!

- Ahh! Did they turn into ghosts?

- Worse.

They're all gone!
