Transcript: Arthur and the Haunted Tree House -Part #2
The show opens with a clip of Arthur and his dog walking down a street. Arthur is an 8-year-old aardvark. He has a round head with small round ears and short brown hair, and he wears glasses.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say
EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on
AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.
The song keeps playing
YOU GOTTA LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
OPEN UP YOUR EARS GET TOGETHER
AND MAKE THINGS BETTER
BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
AND IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Arthur looks at the family album. He hugs his mum and jumps out to the city. He sees bikes, cars, and shops. He high-fives a friend that cycles by.
The song goes on
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START
AND I SAY
Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
AND GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur says HEY, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
A blue dotted slate appears. It reads "Arthur and the haunted tree house. Part 2."
A caption under it reads "written by Peter Hirsch-Storyboard by Al Jeffery. Clirbur Rocha, Daniel Miodini and Michel Carbonneau."
(owl hooting)
(thunder crashing)
Grandma hands the kids towels in Arthur’s house.
Arthur says AND THEN WE HEARD THE VOICE.
Buster says IT SAID, "THIS TREE HOUSE
IS MINE."
Francine says IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY.
Grandma says ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T
JUST THE WIND?
IT WAS REALLY HOWLING
A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
Arthur says UH-UH, IT WAS ZELDA.
I KNOW IT WAS.
DW says POOR ARTHUR.
AFRAID OF A LITTLE DOLL
Bud says WAS IT SHAKING
ITS SCARY RATTLE?
DW and Bud laugh.
Arthur says D.W., THIS IS SERIOUS.
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED
OUT THERE.
DW says WOULD NOT.
ANYWAY, I GUESS
WE'LL NEVER KNOW,
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME
TO YOUR PARTY.
Arthur says YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME
FOR NOT INVITING YOU.
Grandma says ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
SETTLE DOWN, YOU TWO.
WHY DON'T I MAKE US ALL
SOME NICE, HOT COCOA?
Francine says CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM?
I GOT MUD ALL OVER
MY PROM DRESS.
I ACTUALLY THINK
IT LOOKS BETTER NOW,
BUT I BORROWED IT
FROM CATHERINE.
Arthur says SURE.
Buster says HEY, WHERE'S LADONNA?
Arthur says I THOUGHT SHE WAS
RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
Buster says SHE WAS.
Arthur says YOU DON'T THINK
THAT ZELDA...
(knocking on door)
(both screaming)
Arthur opens the door.
Ladonna says QUICK, QUICK,
CLOSE THE DOOR.
Buster says WHAT HAPPENED?
Ladonna says I WENT BACK
TO GET MY BACKPACK.
Arthur says WHAT? THAT'S CRAZY.
Ladonna says I KNOW! BUT I HAD SOME
OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS WITH ME.
I WASN'T ABOUT TO LET
THAT DOLL GET THEM.
WHICH...SHE ALMOST DID.
Buster gasps and says NO WAY.
Ladonna says WHEN I WENT BACK
TO THE TREE HOUSE,
I SAW HER SITTING
IN THE CORNER.
I SNATCHED MY BAG
AND I RAN TOWARDS YOUR HOUSE.
THEN I LOOKED BEHIND ME,
AND SHE WAS LIMPING AFTER ME.
Bud says WOW, SHE'S GOT ONE EYE
AND A LIMP?
POOR LITTLE DOLL.
DW and Bud laugh.
Ladonna says OH, YOU WOULDN'T BE LAUGHING
IF YOU'D SEEN HER.
ANYWAY, THAT'S WHEN I TRIPPED
IN THE MUD.
COULD I BORROW A SWEATSHIRT
OR SOMETHING?
DW says COME ON, I'LL FIND YOU
ONE OF MOM'S.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR ONE
OF ARTHUR'S SMELLY OLD THINGS.
(thunder crashing)
Next, DW, Bud and Ladonna talk in a bedroom.
D.W. says WAS ARTHUR REALLY,
REALLY SCARED?
Ladonna says OH, YEAH.
WHEN HE HEARD THAT VOICE,
HE TURNED WHITE
AS A POWDERED DONUT.
Bud says THAT'S BECAUSE I DO
SUCH A GOOD GHOST IMPRESSION.
Talking on a walkie-talkie, he says THIS TREE HOUSE IS MINE!
(all laughing)
Francine walks out of the bathroom and overhears them. She spies on them.
Bud continues I MAY ONLY HAVE
ONE EYE,
BUT ZELDA
SEES EVERYTHING!
Ladonna says SHH. KEEP IT DOWN.
SOMEONE WILL HEAR YOU.
DW says I THINK I'VE SHOWN ARTHUR
WHO THE SCAREDY-CAT IS NOW.
THANKS FOR THE HELP.
Ladonna whispers WAIT.
I'VE SAVED THE BEST PART
FOR LAST.
ARTHUR BURIED THE DOLL
AFTER THE LAST TIME HE SAW HER.
SO...I DUG HER UP.
(laughing)
DW says UGH!
Bud says SHE LOOKS EVEN WORSE
THAN BEFORE.
Ladonna says I KNOW. PRETTY COOL, HUH?
OH, I ALSO BROUGHT BACK
THE OTHER WALKIE-TALKIE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE PULL ONE LAST TRICK?
(chuckling)
(slurping)
Buster and Arthur drink cocoa in the kitchen.
Francine says I JUST SAW ZELDA.
Buster says WHERE?
Arthur says IN THE HOUSE?
Francine says IN YOUR MOM AND DAD'S
BEDROOM.
WITH HER FRIENDS.
Buster says SHE HAS FRIENDS?
WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!
Francine says RELAX. HER FRIENDS HAPPEN
TO BE LADONNA, BUD AND D.W.
THEY'VE BEEN
PRANKING US.
Arthur says BUT THAT VOICE.
HOW DID...?
Francine says I SAW BUD WITH A WALKIE-TALKIE.
I BET THEY PLANTED
THE OTHER ONE IN THE TREE HOUSE.
Buster says WOW. HE SURE DOES A GOOD CREEPY
BABY GHOST DOLL.
Arthur says OF ALL THE ROTTEN TRICKS.
I BET THIS WAS ALL
D.W.'S IDEA.
I'LL SHOW HER WHO'S...
Francine says WAIT. I'VE GOT
A BETTER PLAN.
MAYBE IT'S TIME THEY GOT A TASTE
OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.
(cat mewling)
(growling)
(thunder crashing)
Back at the cemetery, Muffy says OH, IT'S JUST A CAT.
Bailey says IT SEEMS TO HAVE
A COLLAR.
IT'S PROBABLY LOST.
PERHAPS THERE'S AN ADDRESS
ON ITS TAG.
Muffy says CAREFUL, BAILEY.
IT LOOKS VERY AFRAID.
Bailey says OH, NOT TO WORRY,
MISS MUFFY.
I'M VERY GOOD WITH CATS.
SOMETIMES, I THINK THEY BELIEVE
I'M ONE OF THEM.
HERE, LITTLE KITTY.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
(cat mewling)
(fabric ripping)
Bailey says OH, DEAR! NO!
NOT THE TROUSERS!
Muffy says I THINK THAT ONE BELIEVED
YOU WERE ITS SCRATCHING POST.
Bailey says INDEED.
THIS REALLY HASN'T BEEN
MY NIGHT.
Muffy says OH, POOR BAILEY.
HERE, HAVE SOME
OF MY CANDY.
I'M SURE THE RAIN
WILL LET UP SOON.
(thunder crashing)
Bailey says MISS MUFFY, WATCH OUT!
THAT CRAZED PANTHER
IS ADVANCING.
Muffy says SHOO. SCAT.
YOU'RE A MEAN
BUTLER-SCRATCHER.
(purring)
OH, STOP IT.
YOU'RE GETTING HAIR
ALL OVER MY COSTUME.
The cat licks Muffy’s hand.
Muffy says I GIVE UP.
I GUESS I'LL JUST BE ALICE
AFTER SHE MET THE CHESHIRE CAT.
Muddy reads the cat’s collar. She reads "My name is Inky Krueger. I live at 1428 Elm Street."
Bailey says THAT'S NOT FAR FROM HERE.
Muffy says BUT IT'S IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION OF THE MCNEIL HOUSE.
LOOK, IT STOPPED RAINING.
MAYBE SHE'LL JUST FIND
HER OWN WAY HOME.
(owl hooting)
Bailey says MISS MUFFY,
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO JUST
LEAVE HER HERE?
Muffy says FINE, WE'LL DROP HER OFF.
BUT LET'S HURRY.
THE MCNEILS TURN OFF
THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN
PROMPTLY AT 9:00.
CAN I HAVE YOUR HAT?
IN.
The cat jumps inside Bailey’s hat.
A kid wearing a ghost costume says ARE THESE DECORATIONS,
OR IS THIS HOUSE
ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
Raven says NEVERMORE!
His friend says LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS PLACE IS WEIRD.
Raven says WAIT, COME BACK.
OF COURSE THEY'RE JUST
DECORATIONS.
I DON'T ACTUALLY
LIVE LIKE THIS.
Ratburn says 8:15 AND I'VE ONLY HAD
ONE TRICK-OR-TREATER.
HMM.
MAYBE I DID GO A BIT TOO FAR
THIS YEAR.
Ratburn removes a spider web decoration and says OH, OH, OH.
OH, DEAR. I'M CAUGHT.
(grunting)
Timmy and Tommy walk past him and get scared.
They scream AAH!
Ratburn gets rid of the spider web and then spots Binky’s backpack.
Ratburn says MM-HMM.
He grabs the backpack and walks inside his house.
Ladonna says OKAY, IT'S ALL SET.
DW says DID YOU PUT THE DOLL
SOMEPLACE THEY'LL SEE IT?
Ladonna says IT'S RIGHT ON TOP
OF HIS BED,
AND I LEFT
THE DOOR OPEN.
HE CAN'T MISS IT.
WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL,
AND THEN START MOANING.
Bud says WHAT KIND OF A MOAN
SHOULD I DO?
THE "I GOT A STOMACH ACHE" MOAN?
OR THE "I CAN'T FIND MY HAT."
MOAN?
Ladonna says I DON'T KNOW.
JUST DO SOMETHING SPOOKY.
Bud hides in a closet.
Ladonna and DW join the rest of the kids in the living room.
Ladonna says WHAT ARE WE WATCHING?
Arthur says THE CURSE OF THE MOOMY.
(cows lowing)
WHAT THOSE VIDEO GAMES
ARE BASED ON.
DW says ARTHUR, I'M CHILLY.
WOULD YOU GET ME MY BLANKIE
FROM UPSTAIRS?
I LEFT IT IN YOUR ROOM.
Arthur says NO.
DW says PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE
WITH SUGAR ON TOP?
Arthur says THERE'S ONE
RIGHT HERE.
Ladonna hands DW a green blanket. Then, Buster sits next to her on the sofa and blinks an eye at Arthur.
Buster says WHAT DID I MISS?
Francine says THE MOOMY'S ABOUT TO SCARE
THAT ARCHAEOLOGIST.
DW says THIS ONE IS TOO ITCHY.
LOOK, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME
OF MY HALLOWEEN CANDY
IF YOU JUST GET ME MY BLANKET
FROM UPSTAIRS.
Buster says HOW MUCH CANDY?
I'LL DO IT.
Arthur says NO, IT HAS TO BE ARTHUR.
AFTER ALL,
YOU'RE A GUEST.
Arthur says OKAY. BUT I WANT 12 PIECES.
AND I GET TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES.
DW says FINE.
Ladonna says AH-CHOO!
OH, EXCUSE ME.
I THINK I'M ALLERGIC
TO BLACK-AND-WHITE MOVIES.
Bud moans to the walkie-talkie.
To Ladonna, DW whispers SHOULDN'T WE HAVE HEARD
A SCREAM BY NOW?
Arthur throws a blue blanket over DW’s head.
Arthur says HERE YOU GO.
DW says WAS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT UP THERE?
Arthur says UH-HUH.
DW says ARE YOU SURE?
Arthur says UH-HUH.
MMM, THESE CHOCO-CLUSTERS
YOU GOT ARE DELICIOUS.
HERE, FRANCINE, BUSTER,
HAVE SOME.
DW says EXCUSE ME.
Ladonna sniffs and says I NEED A TISSUE.
BE RIGHT BACK.
Buster, Francine and Arthur laugh.
Grandma says ARE YOU THREE UP TO SOMETHING
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Arthur says US? NO.
Francine says UH-UH.
Meanwhile, Muffy and Bailey approach the gate of the cemetery.
Bailey says THE GATE APPEARS
TO BE LOCKED.
Muffy says LOCKED?
Bailey says THEY MUST HAVE CLOSED
THE CEMETERY
WHILE WE WERE
WAITING OUT THE RAIN.
Muffy says WHAT DO WE DO?
Bailey says IT'S NOT TERRIBLY HIGH.
I'LL JUST LIFT YOU OVER.
Bailey lifts Muffy over the gate.
Muffy says DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?
Bailey says NO, NO.
IN THE BUTLER ACADEMY
I ATTENDED,
WE WERE TRAINED
FOR ALL SORTS OF...
EVENTUALITIES.
One of Bailey’s shoes falls.
Muffy says OH, NO! YOUR SHOE!
(grunting)
Muffy says YOUR JACKET.
Bailey’s jacket gets ripped.
Bailey says ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO PREPARE FOR A NIGHT
LIKE THIS.
SHALL WE FORGE ON,
MISS MUFFY?
I'LL PICK MY SHOE UP
IN THE MORNING,
IF IT HASN'T BEEN DEVOURED
BY WILD DOGS.
(indistinct chattering)
Muffy rings a doorbell. A family is having a Halloween party.
Mr. Krueger says A NOW THAT'S A GREAT
ZOMBIE COSTUME.
Mrs. Krueger says HMM, AND WHAT ARE YOU?
A MAGICIAN?
Muffy says UM, KIND OF.
Muffy pulls the cat out of the hat.
(meowing)
The Krueger’s daughter says INKY!
Binky says I COULD HAVE SWORN
I LEFT IT THERE.
YOU DIDN'T SEE A BACKPACK
AROUND HERE, DID YOU?
Raven says NEVERMORE!
Binky says THAT'S NOT VERY HELPFUL.
MR. RATBURN MUST HAVE
FOUND IT ALREADY.
I'M DOOMED.
I WONDER WHAT
THE PUNISHMENT IS
FOR PLANNING TO TOILET-PAPER
A TEACHER'S HOUSE?
Binky imagines being at the classroom. He looks like a mummy.
Ratburn says ALL RIGHT, NOW WHO CAN SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM?
BINKY?
(muffled speech)
Ratburn says NO...
He imitates Binky’s muffled speech and says IS INCORRECT.
YOU GET ANOTHER F
FOR CLASS PARTICIPATION.
(muffled protests)
Back at Ratburn’s house, Binky says AWW.
THIS IS THE WORST
HALLOWEEN EVER.
The red ghost puppet appears.
The ghost puppet says SOLVE THE PUZZLES
IN RATBURN'S LAIR,
AND PERHAPS YOUR PUNISHMENT
HE WILL SPARE.
Binky says NO WAY. YOU DON'T KNOW
MR. RATBURN.
I'M DOOMED!
Ratburn appears pulling strings to operate the puppet and watching a monitor.
Making the puppet’s voice, Ratburn says KNOW HIM WELL,
I THINK I DO.
DO WHAT I SAY, AND HE WILL BE
MERCIFUL TO YOU.
Binky says I'M NOT SO SURE.
The puppet says OH, JUST COME INSIDE ALREADY.
Binky runs into the house.
Back at Arthur’s house, Ladonna points to a bed and says I'M TELLING YOU,
I PUT HER RIGHT THERE
FACING THE DOOR,
SO HE COULDN'T MISS HER.
She moves a pillow and says SEE? THE OTHER WALKIE-TALKIE
IS STILL THERE.
Bud says DO YOU THINK ARTHUR KNOWS
WE'RE UP TO SOMETHING?
MAYBE IT WAS MY MOAN.
I SHOULD HAVE DONE MY
"I DON'T WANT A BATH" MOAN.
THAT ONE'S THE SCARIEST.
Ladonna says WAIT A SECOND. WHAT'S THAT?
They spot footprints.
DW says THEY LOOK LIKE...
LITTLE BABY FOOTPRINTS.
Bud says COULD THEY BE KATE'S?
DW says KATE IS DOWNSTAIRS
WITH GRANDMA.
Buster says HEY, GUYS.
(all screaming)
Buster says WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU'RE MISSING THE MOVIE.
Ladonna says JUST LOOKING FOR TISSUES.
Bud says THOUGHT I LEFT
MY HAT HERE.
DW says NOW, WHERE DID I PUT MY CANDY?
Buster says I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.
JUST GOING TO THE BATHROOM.
Buster opens and closes the bathroom door. Then, he goes back to the bedroom, looks at the two walkie-talkies on the nigh table and laughs.
(indistinct chattering)
(beeping)
Muffy and Bailey have a nice time at the Krueger’s party.
Muffy says THAT MRS. KRUEGER
IS SO NICE.
SHE JUST LEANT ME
A CHARGER FOR MY PHONE.
Bailey says AND THIS IS THE MOST
DELIGHTFUL PUNCH I'VE EVER HAD.
Muffy says OOH! CHOCOLATE-COVERED
STRAWBERRIES.
THE GOODIES HERE ARE EVEN BETTER
THAN THE MCNEIL'S.
Bailey says I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE.
Jane says MUFFY.
Muffy says HI, MR. AND MRS. READ.
WHAT A GREAT PARTY.
Jane says I KNOW, BUT WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT ARTHUR'S
SLEEPOVER IN THE TREE HOUSE?
Muffy says IT'S A LONG STORY.
BUT I'M HEADING OVER THERE
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Jane says WE'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT.
WE SHOULD BE LEAVING SOON
ANYWAY.
Muffy says I LOVE YOUR COSTUME, MRS...
SAPERSTEIN.
Ethel says ETHEL SAPERSTEIN.
AND I LOVE YOURS.
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG
WITH ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Muffy says WHAT'S HE DRESSED AS?
Ethel says MY HUSBAND?
HE'S A GOLEM.
Muffy Says WHAT'S THAT?
Ethel says HAVE A SEAT.
I'LL TELL YOU
A LITTLE STORY.
I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
JUST ABOUT YOUR AGE.
WE LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN,
CALLED MINDELPLATZ,
NOT FAR FROM PRAGUE.
(chiming)
At Ratburn’s house, a fake spider hanging from the ceiling shows Binky a note.
Binky says I KNOW, I KNOW.
TURN THE LANTERN ON.
(thumping)
A creepy wooden puppet lying on a bed looks at Binky with one eye missing.
Binky says HMM. NOW, WHAT DID
BUSTER SAY?
OH, YEAH,
UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS.
(thumping)
The wooden puppet says CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE SOLVED
THE FIRST PUZZLE.
Binky says A BOOK?
I WAS KIND OF HOPING
FOR SOME CANDY.
The wooden puppet says IT'S THE COLLECTED WORKS
OF EDGAR ALLAN POE,
THE ANNOTATED VERSION.
A TREAT...FOR THE MIND.
Binky says I PREFER TREATS
FOR THE BELLY.
The wooden puppet says BUT THIS TREAT
ALSO CONTAINS CLUES
FOR SOLVING
THE OTHER PUZZLES.
PROCEED TO THE NEXT ROOM.
Binky says WELL, NOTHING IN HERE
BUT A BRICK WALL.
(scratching)
(loud groaning)
YIKES. MR. RATBURN HAS A REALLY
BAD MOUSE PROBLEM.
Behind the brick wall, Ratburn’s voice says ALAS, I AM TRAPPED
IN THIS WINE CELLAR
FOREVER.
JUST LIKE POOR FORTUNATO.
IN WHICH CLASSIC
EDGAR ALLEN POE STORY?
Binky says OH! UH...
THE GOLD BUG.
Ratburn says NO.
Binky says ELEONORA?
Ratburn says NO.
Binky says THE PIT AND THE PENDELOOM?
Ratburn says NO! AND IT'S PRONOUNCED
"PENDULUM."
HAVE YOU READ ANY OF THE STORIES
I'VE ASSIGNED?
Binky says WAIT. IS THAT YOU,
MR. RATBURN?
THAT TOILET PAPER WASN'T MINE.
OKAY, IT WAS MINE,
BUT I WASN'T GOING
TO TOILET-PAPER YOUR HOUSE.
OKAY, I WAS GOING
TO TOILET-PAPER YOUR HOUSE,
BUT I COULDN'T
GO THROUGH WITH IT.
PLEASE! DON'T GIVE ME
DETENTION FOR LIFE!
Binky punches the wall and it falls apart.
Binky says I DIDN'T DO THAT EITHER.
Ratburn says THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO.
Binky says HUH?
Ratburn says THAT'S THE NAME OF THE STORY
ON WHICH THIS ROOM
IS BASED.
HAD YOU ANSWERED CORRECTLY,
YOU WOULD HAVE WON
A LICORICE SKELETON.
Binky says TOO BAD.
THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
Ratburn says OH, YOU CAN HAVE SOME
ANYWAY.
I BOUGHT TONNES OF CANDY,
AND YOU WERE MY ONLY
TRICK-OR-TREATER.
Binky says THANKS!
WOW.
KIDS DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'VE MISSED.
THIS PLACE IS REALLY COOL.
Ratburn says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
Binky says YEAH.
IN FACT, IT KIND OF MAKES ME
WANT TO READ ALL THESE STORIES.
Ratburn says OH, I ALMOST FORGOT.
Ratburn shows Binky his backpack.
Binky says I REALLY WASN'T GOING
TO DO IT.
I SWEAR.
Ratburn says I BELIEVE YOU, BINKY.
BUT IF YOU MUST
DO A PRANK,
TRY TO FIND SOMETHING A LITTLE
SAFER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU
THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD
OF MY
FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER
ROOM.
The movie the kids were watching ends.
DW says THAT WASN'T VERY SCARY.
Bud says YEAH. THE ONLY SCARY PART
WAS WHEN THE BIG SPIDER
ATE THE GUY'S HAT.
DW says HUH? I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
Bud yawns and says OH, WAIT.
I THINK I DREAMED THAT PART.
Grandma says I THINK SOMEONE
MIGHT BE READ FOR BED.
Grandma takes DW by the hand.
Ladonna says YEAH. I SHOULD TAKE YOU HOME,
BUD.
Arthur says YOU CAN RETURN THE SWEATSHIRT
TOMORROW.
SORRY THINGS DIDN'T
WORK OUT AT THE TREE HOUSE.
Ladonna says HUH? OH, RIGHT.
I'M JUST GLAD THAT SPOOKY DOLL
DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN.
Arthur says ME TOO.
Francine says WELL, GET HOME SAFE.
DON'T FORGET
YOUR BACKPACK.
Ladonna and Bud leave.
DW looks under her bed.
DW says OKAY, ALL CLEAR.
AND YOU PROMISE YOU DIDN'T SEE
ANY LITTLE MUDDY FOOTPRINTS
IN MY ROOM, RIGHT?
Grandma says NO, DEAR. WHY?
DW says NO REASON.
(yawning)
GOOD NIGHT, GRANDMA.
Grandma says GOOD NIGHT, D.W.
Bud says WHAT ABOUT ZELDA?
WHERE'D SHE GO?
MOM WILL BE UPSET
IF SHE FINDS OUT SHE'S MISSING.
Ladonna says WE'LL COME BACK AND LOOK
FOR HER TOMORROW.
I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW...
(ghostly chuckling)
WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
Bud says I DIDN'T LAUGH.
The Voice says I KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
Bud says IT'S HER. IT'S ZELDA.
SHE'S COME TO LIFE.
IT WAS ALL D.W.'S IDEA, ZELDA!
Ladonna says CALM DOWN.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
The Voice says YOU CAN'T FIND ME.
I'M EVERYWHERE.
Ladonna opens her backpack and finds fake spiders and a walkie-talkie.
Ladonna says AAH!
(laughter)
Buster and Francine watch them from the window and laugh. Bud and Ladonna spot them.
The Voice says D.W.
DW says WHO'S THERE?
The Voice says COME PLAY WITH ME, D.W.
DW says "ME"?
WHO'S "ME"?
The Voice says I DON'T WANT TO PLAY
WITH ARTHUR.
I WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU.
I'VE MISSED YOU, D.W.
DW moves her stuffed animals and spots Zelda.
DW screams.
Holding a walkie-talkie, Arthur says YES!
Arthur’s parents arrive home.
DW runs down the stairs and says MOMMY, MOMMY!
ARTHUR PUT A CREEPY DOLL IN
MY BED AND SCARED ME REALLY BAD!
Arthur says SHE'S THE ONE WHO STARTED IT.
SHE RUINED MY WHOLE
SLEEPOVER.
Muffy walks into the living room and says HEY, GUYS. WHY WEREN'T YOU
AT THE TREE HOUSE?
I JUST CAME FROM THERE.
Francine says LADONNA, BUD AND D.W.
PRANKED US
AND MADE US THINK
THE TREE HOUSE WAS HAUNTED.
Buster says WE JUST PRANKED THEM BACK.
Buster and Francine high-five.
Francine says HOW WAS YOUR HALLOWEEN?
Muffy says WELL, I NEVER GOT
TO THE MCNEILS'.
BUT I DID WIND UP
AT THIS OTHER HOUSE
WHERE THEY WERE HAVING
A PARTY,
AND HAD GREAT TREATS.
HERE, I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
She shows them pictures on her cell phone.
Muffy continues THERE'S BAILEY.
HE STARTED DANCING
AND WOULDN'T STOP.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM HAVE
SO MUCH FUN.
THOSE ARE SOME
KOOKY GUESTS I MET.
THERE ARE THE READS.
Francine says WAIT, WAIT, GO BACK.
THAT'S THE WOMAN
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.
Buster says YOU MEAN THE ONE WHO...
Muffy says OH, YOU KNOW THE SAPERSTEINS?
THEY'RE A HOOT.
SHE TOLD ME THEY PLAY THIS GREAT
TRICK ON KIDS EVERY HALLOWEEN.
Francine says TRICK? WHAT TRICK?
Muffy says FIRST, SHE TELLS THIS STORY
ABOUT SOME MONSTER,
CALLED A GOLEM.
AND THEN THEY PRETEND SHE'S
HIS LITTLE SISTER, WHO VANISHED.
IT'S REALLY ELABORATE.
Francine says IT SURE IS.
WHO WOULD EVER
FALL FOR THAT?
Arthur says HEY, GUYS.
MOM AND DAD SAID
I HAVE TO CUT
THE HALLOWEEN
SLEEPOVER SHORT.
I KIND OF SCARED D.W.
A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
Jane says SO, TRUCE.
Arthur and DW shake hands and say TRUCE.
Jane says ALL RIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, YOU TWO.
MWAH. MWAH.
She kisses them both.
Later, DW walks into Arthur’s bedroom.
Arthur says WHAT IS IT, D.W.?
DW says I'M STILL SCARED.
Arthur sighs.
DW lies next to Arthur.
Arthur says THAT WAS A PRETTY COMPLICATED
TRICK YOU PLAYED ON ME.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW YOU DID ALL THAT.
DW says IT WASN'T SO HARD.
AFTER YOU SCARED ME
WITH THAT FAKE SNAKE
IN THE CEREAL BOX,
I CALLED BUD.
DW remembers the call.
Bud says A FAKE SNAKE
IN A CEREAL BOX?
OF ALL THE ROTTEN TRICKS.
SURE, I'LL HELP YOU
GET HIM BACK.
DW says WE PAID LADONNA 13 CENTS,
AN OLD CANDY CANE
AND SOME MONSTER STICKERS
TO HELP US.
BUT I THINK SHE REALLY DID IT
FOR KICKS.
SHE WAS THE ONE WHO
HAD THE IDEA TO SCARE YOU
WITH THAT BEAT-UP OLD DOLL.
I KNEW YOU WOULD WANT
TO DECORATE THE TREE HOUSE
FOR YOUR PARTY,
SO WE PUT ZELDA
NEAR THE HALLOWEEN STUFF.
THAT WAS THE WHOLE PLAN,
JUST TO SCARE YOU
IN THE ATTIC.
BUT WHEN I SAW THAT YOU HAD
TAKEN ZELDA WITH YOU,
I DECIDED WE SHOULD
KEEP GOING.
WE PUT ONE WALKIE-TALKIE
ON THE TREE HOUSE,
AND BUD HAD
THE OTHER ONE.
In a memory, Bud, DW and Ladonna hide behind a bush.
Talking on the walkie-talkie, Bud says ARTHUR.
Arthur says WHO'S THERE?
(wind gusting)
JUST THE WIND.
(all laughing)
Back in Arthur’s bedroom, DW says AND THEN LADONNA WROTE ON THE
WALL OF THE TREE HOUSE IN CHALK.
AND THEN SHE PUT
THE DOLL...
Arthur says OKAY, OKAY,
I KNOW THE REST.
WELL, THIS IS ONE HALLOWEEN
I'M SURE GOING TO REMEMBER.
DW says ME TOO.
Arthur says I WOULD NEVER LET ANYTHING
REALLY SCARY HAPPEN TO YOU.
I'D PROTECT YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
DW says YEAH.
AND I'D PROTECT YOU TOO.
(ghostly giggling)
Arthur says D.W.
DW says IT WASN'T ME.
I SWEAR.
(giggling continuous)
Arthur and DW gasp and scream.
Downstairs, Grandma and Kate play with the walkie-talkie and laugh.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say
EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on
AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.
The song keeps playing
YOU GOTTA LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
OPEN UP YOUR EARS GET TOGETHER
AND MAKE THINGS BETTER
BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
AND IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Arthur looks at the family album. He hugs his mum and jumps out to the city. He sees bikes, cars, and shops. He high-fives a friend that cycles by.
The song goes on
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START
AND I SAY
Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
AND GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur says HEY, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
A blue dotted slate appears. It reads "Arthur and the haunted tree house. Part 2."
A caption under it reads "written by Peter Hirsch-Storyboard by Al Jeffery. Clirbur Rocha, Daniel Miodini and Michel Carbonneau."
(owl hooting)
(thunder crashing)
Grandma hands the kids towels in Arthur’s house.
Arthur says AND THEN WE HEARD THE VOICE.
Buster says IT SAID, "THIS TREE HOUSE
IS MINE."
Francine says IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY.
Grandma says ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T
JUST THE WIND?
IT WAS REALLY HOWLING
A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
Arthur says UH-UH, IT WAS ZELDA.
I KNOW IT WAS.
DW says POOR ARTHUR.
AFRAID OF A LITTLE DOLL
Bud says WAS IT SHAKING
ITS SCARY RATTLE?
DW and Bud laugh.
Arthur says D.W., THIS IS SERIOUS.
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED
OUT THERE.
DW says WOULD NOT.
ANYWAY, I GUESS
WE'LL NEVER KNOW,
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME
TO YOUR PARTY.
Arthur says YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME
FOR NOT INVITING YOU.
Grandma says ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
SETTLE DOWN, YOU TWO.
WHY DON'T I MAKE US ALL
SOME NICE, HOT COCOA?
Francine says CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM?
I GOT MUD ALL OVER
MY PROM DRESS.
I ACTUALLY THINK
IT LOOKS BETTER NOW,
BUT I BORROWED IT
FROM CATHERINE.
Arthur says SURE.
Buster says HEY, WHERE'S LADONNA?
Arthur says I THOUGHT SHE WAS
RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
Buster says SHE WAS.
Arthur says YOU DON'T THINK
THAT ZELDA...
(knocking on door)
(both screaming)
Arthur opens the door.
Ladonna says QUICK, QUICK,
CLOSE THE DOOR.
Buster says WHAT HAPPENED?
Ladonna says I WENT BACK
TO GET MY BACKPACK.
Arthur says WHAT? THAT'S CRAZY.
Ladonna says I KNOW! BUT I HAD SOME
OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS WITH ME.
I WASN'T ABOUT TO LET
THAT DOLL GET THEM.
WHICH...SHE ALMOST DID.
Buster gasps and says NO WAY.
Ladonna says WHEN I WENT BACK
TO THE TREE HOUSE,
I SAW HER SITTING
IN THE CORNER.
I SNATCHED MY BAG
AND I RAN TOWARDS YOUR HOUSE.
THEN I LOOKED BEHIND ME,
AND SHE WAS LIMPING AFTER ME.
Bud says WOW, SHE'S GOT ONE EYE
AND A LIMP?
POOR LITTLE DOLL.
DW and Bud laugh.
Ladonna says OH, YOU WOULDN'T BE LAUGHING
IF YOU'D SEEN HER.
ANYWAY, THAT'S WHEN I TRIPPED
IN THE MUD.
COULD I BORROW A SWEATSHIRT
OR SOMETHING?
DW says COME ON, I'LL FIND YOU
ONE OF MOM'S.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR ONE
OF ARTHUR'S SMELLY OLD THINGS.
(thunder crashing)
Next, DW, Bud and Ladonna talk in a bedroom.
D.W. says WAS ARTHUR REALLY,
REALLY SCARED?
Ladonna says OH, YEAH.
WHEN HE HEARD THAT VOICE,
HE TURNED WHITE
AS A POWDERED DONUT.
Bud says THAT'S BECAUSE I DO
SUCH A GOOD GHOST IMPRESSION.
Talking on a walkie-talkie, he says THIS TREE HOUSE IS MINE!
(all laughing)
Francine walks out of the bathroom and overhears them. She spies on them.
Bud continues I MAY ONLY HAVE
ONE EYE,
BUT ZELDA
SEES EVERYTHING!
Ladonna says SHH. KEEP IT DOWN.
SOMEONE WILL HEAR YOU.
DW says I THINK I'VE SHOWN ARTHUR
WHO THE SCAREDY-CAT IS NOW.
THANKS FOR THE HELP.
Ladonna whispers WAIT.
I'VE SAVED THE BEST PART
FOR LAST.
ARTHUR BURIED THE DOLL
AFTER THE LAST TIME HE SAW HER.
SO...I DUG HER UP.
(laughing)
DW says UGH!
Bud says SHE LOOKS EVEN WORSE
THAN BEFORE.
Ladonna says I KNOW. PRETTY COOL, HUH?
OH, I ALSO BROUGHT BACK
THE OTHER WALKIE-TALKIE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE PULL ONE LAST TRICK?
(chuckling)
(slurping)
Buster and Arthur drink cocoa in the kitchen.
Francine says I JUST SAW ZELDA.
Buster says WHERE?
Arthur says IN THE HOUSE?
Francine says IN YOUR MOM AND DAD'S
BEDROOM.
WITH HER FRIENDS.
Buster says SHE HAS FRIENDS?
WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!
Francine says RELAX. HER FRIENDS HAPPEN
TO BE LADONNA, BUD AND D.W.
THEY'VE BEEN
PRANKING US.
Arthur says BUT THAT VOICE.
HOW DID...?
Francine says I SAW BUD WITH A WALKIE-TALKIE.
I BET THEY PLANTED
THE OTHER ONE IN THE TREE HOUSE.
Buster says WOW. HE SURE DOES A GOOD CREEPY
BABY GHOST DOLL.
Arthur says OF ALL THE ROTTEN TRICKS.
I BET THIS WAS ALL
D.W.'S IDEA.
I'LL SHOW HER WHO'S...
Francine says WAIT. I'VE GOT
A BETTER PLAN.
MAYBE IT'S TIME THEY GOT A TASTE
OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.
(cat mewling)
(growling)
(thunder crashing)
Back at the cemetery, Muffy says OH, IT'S JUST A CAT.
Bailey says IT SEEMS TO HAVE
A COLLAR.
IT'S PROBABLY LOST.
PERHAPS THERE'S AN ADDRESS
ON ITS TAG.
Muffy says CAREFUL, BAILEY.
IT LOOKS VERY AFRAID.
Bailey says OH, NOT TO WORRY,
MISS MUFFY.
I'M VERY GOOD WITH CATS.
SOMETIMES, I THINK THEY BELIEVE
I'M ONE OF THEM.
HERE, LITTLE KITTY.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
(cat mewling)
(fabric ripping)
Bailey says OH, DEAR! NO!
NOT THE TROUSERS!
Muffy says I THINK THAT ONE BELIEVED
YOU WERE ITS SCRATCHING POST.
Bailey says INDEED.
THIS REALLY HASN'T BEEN
MY NIGHT.
Muffy says OH, POOR BAILEY.
HERE, HAVE SOME
OF MY CANDY.
I'M SURE THE RAIN
WILL LET UP SOON.
(thunder crashing)
Bailey says MISS MUFFY, WATCH OUT!
THAT CRAZED PANTHER
IS ADVANCING.
Muffy says SHOO. SCAT.
YOU'RE A MEAN
BUTLER-SCRATCHER.
(purring)
OH, STOP IT.
YOU'RE GETTING HAIR
ALL OVER MY COSTUME.
The cat licks Muffy’s hand.
Muffy says I GIVE UP.
I GUESS I'LL JUST BE ALICE
AFTER SHE MET THE CHESHIRE CAT.
Muddy reads the cat’s collar. She reads "My name is Inky Krueger. I live at 1428 Elm Street."
Bailey says THAT'S NOT FAR FROM HERE.
Muffy says BUT IT'S IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION OF THE MCNEIL HOUSE.
LOOK, IT STOPPED RAINING.
MAYBE SHE'LL JUST FIND
HER OWN WAY HOME.
(owl hooting)
Bailey says MISS MUFFY,
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO JUST
LEAVE HER HERE?
Muffy says FINE, WE'LL DROP HER OFF.
BUT LET'S HURRY.
THE MCNEILS TURN OFF
THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN
PROMPTLY AT 9:00.
CAN I HAVE YOUR HAT?
IN.
The cat jumps inside Bailey’s hat.
A kid wearing a ghost costume says ARE THESE DECORATIONS,
OR IS THIS HOUSE
ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
Raven says NEVERMORE!
His friend says LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS PLACE IS WEIRD.
Raven says WAIT, COME BACK.
OF COURSE THEY'RE JUST
DECORATIONS.
I DON'T ACTUALLY
LIVE LIKE THIS.
Ratburn says 8:15 AND I'VE ONLY HAD
ONE TRICK-OR-TREATER.
HMM.
MAYBE I DID GO A BIT TOO FAR
THIS YEAR.
Ratburn removes a spider web decoration and says OH, OH, OH.
OH, DEAR. I'M CAUGHT.
(grunting)
Timmy and Tommy walk past him and get scared.
They scream AAH!
Ratburn gets rid of the spider web and then spots Binky’s backpack.
Ratburn says MM-HMM.
He grabs the backpack and walks inside his house.
Ladonna says OKAY, IT'S ALL SET.
DW says DID YOU PUT THE DOLL
SOMEPLACE THEY'LL SEE IT?
Ladonna says IT'S RIGHT ON TOP
OF HIS BED,
AND I LEFT
THE DOOR OPEN.
HE CAN'T MISS IT.
WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL,
AND THEN START MOANING.
Bud says WHAT KIND OF A MOAN
SHOULD I DO?
THE "I GOT A STOMACH ACHE" MOAN?
OR THE "I CAN'T FIND MY HAT."
MOAN?
Ladonna says I DON'T KNOW.
JUST DO SOMETHING SPOOKY.
Bud hides in a closet.
Ladonna and DW join the rest of the kids in the living room.
Ladonna says WHAT ARE WE WATCHING?
Arthur says THE CURSE OF THE MOOMY.
(cows lowing)
WHAT THOSE VIDEO GAMES
ARE BASED ON.
DW says ARTHUR, I'M CHILLY.
WOULD YOU GET ME MY BLANKIE
FROM UPSTAIRS?
I LEFT IT IN YOUR ROOM.
Arthur says NO.
DW says PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE
WITH SUGAR ON TOP?
Arthur says THERE'S ONE
RIGHT HERE.
Ladonna hands DW a green blanket. Then, Buster sits next to her on the sofa and blinks an eye at Arthur.
Buster says WHAT DID I MISS?
Francine says THE MOOMY'S ABOUT TO SCARE
THAT ARCHAEOLOGIST.
DW says THIS ONE IS TOO ITCHY.
LOOK, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME
OF MY HALLOWEEN CANDY
IF YOU JUST GET ME MY BLANKET
FROM UPSTAIRS.
Buster says HOW MUCH CANDY?
I'LL DO IT.
Arthur says NO, IT HAS TO BE ARTHUR.
AFTER ALL,
YOU'RE A GUEST.
Arthur says OKAY. BUT I WANT 12 PIECES.
AND I GET TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES.
DW says FINE.
Ladonna says AH-CHOO!
OH, EXCUSE ME.
I THINK I'M ALLERGIC
TO BLACK-AND-WHITE MOVIES.
Bud moans to the walkie-talkie.
To Ladonna, DW whispers SHOULDN'T WE HAVE HEARD
A SCREAM BY NOW?
Arthur throws a blue blanket over DW’s head.
Arthur says HERE YOU GO.
DW says WAS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT UP THERE?
Arthur says UH-HUH.
DW says ARE YOU SURE?
Arthur says UH-HUH.
MMM, THESE CHOCO-CLUSTERS
YOU GOT ARE DELICIOUS.
HERE, FRANCINE, BUSTER,
HAVE SOME.
DW says EXCUSE ME.
Ladonna sniffs and says I NEED A TISSUE.
BE RIGHT BACK.
Buster, Francine and Arthur laugh.
Grandma says ARE YOU THREE UP TO SOMETHING
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Arthur says US? NO.
Francine says UH-UH.
Meanwhile, Muffy and Bailey approach the gate of the cemetery.
Bailey says THE GATE APPEARS
TO BE LOCKED.
Muffy says LOCKED?
Bailey says THEY MUST HAVE CLOSED
THE CEMETERY
WHILE WE WERE
WAITING OUT THE RAIN.
Muffy says WHAT DO WE DO?
Bailey says IT'S NOT TERRIBLY HIGH.
I'LL JUST LIFT YOU OVER.
Bailey lifts Muffy over the gate.
Muffy says DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?
Bailey says NO, NO.
IN THE BUTLER ACADEMY
I ATTENDED,
WE WERE TRAINED
FOR ALL SORTS OF...
EVENTUALITIES.
One of Bailey’s shoes falls.
Muffy says OH, NO! YOUR SHOE!
(grunting)
Muffy says YOUR JACKET.
Bailey’s jacket gets ripped.
Bailey says ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
TO PREPARE FOR A NIGHT
LIKE THIS.
SHALL WE FORGE ON,
MISS MUFFY?
I'LL PICK MY SHOE UP
IN THE MORNING,
IF IT HASN'T BEEN DEVOURED
BY WILD DOGS.
(indistinct chattering)
Muffy rings a doorbell. A family is having a Halloween party.
Mr. Krueger says A NOW THAT'S A GREAT
ZOMBIE COSTUME.
Mrs. Krueger says HMM, AND WHAT ARE YOU?
A MAGICIAN?
Muffy says UM, KIND OF.
Muffy pulls the cat out of the hat.
(meowing)
The Krueger’s daughter says INKY!
Binky says I COULD HAVE SWORN
I LEFT IT THERE.
YOU DIDN'T SEE A BACKPACK
AROUND HERE, DID YOU?
Raven says NEVERMORE!
Binky says THAT'S NOT VERY HELPFUL.
MR. RATBURN MUST HAVE
FOUND IT ALREADY.
I'M DOOMED.
I WONDER WHAT
THE PUNISHMENT IS
FOR PLANNING TO TOILET-PAPER
A TEACHER'S HOUSE?
Binky imagines being at the classroom. He looks like a mummy.
Ratburn says ALL RIGHT, NOW WHO CAN SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM?
BINKY?
(muffled speech)
Ratburn says NO...
He imitates Binky’s muffled speech and says IS INCORRECT.
YOU GET ANOTHER F
FOR CLASS PARTICIPATION.
(muffled protests)
Back at Ratburn’s house, Binky says AWW.
THIS IS THE WORST
HALLOWEEN EVER.
The red ghost puppet appears.
The ghost puppet says SOLVE THE PUZZLES
IN RATBURN'S LAIR,
AND PERHAPS YOUR PUNISHMENT
HE WILL SPARE.
Binky says NO WAY. YOU DON'T KNOW
MR. RATBURN.
I'M DOOMED!
Ratburn appears pulling strings to operate the puppet and watching a monitor.
Making the puppet’s voice, Ratburn says KNOW HIM WELL,
I THINK I DO.
DO WHAT I SAY, AND HE WILL BE
MERCIFUL TO YOU.
Binky says I'M NOT SO SURE.
The puppet says OH, JUST COME INSIDE ALREADY.
Binky runs into the house.
Back at Arthur’s house, Ladonna points to a bed and says I'M TELLING YOU,
I PUT HER RIGHT THERE
FACING THE DOOR,
SO HE COULDN'T MISS HER.
She moves a pillow and says SEE? THE OTHER WALKIE-TALKIE
IS STILL THERE.
Bud says DO YOU THINK ARTHUR KNOWS
WE'RE UP TO SOMETHING?
MAYBE IT WAS MY MOAN.
I SHOULD HAVE DONE MY
"I DON'T WANT A BATH" MOAN.
THAT ONE'S THE SCARIEST.
Ladonna says WAIT A SECOND. WHAT'S THAT?
They spot footprints.
DW says THEY LOOK LIKE...
LITTLE BABY FOOTPRINTS.
Bud says COULD THEY BE KATE'S?
DW says KATE IS DOWNSTAIRS
WITH GRANDMA.
Buster says HEY, GUYS.
(all screaming)
Buster says WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU'RE MISSING THE MOVIE.
Ladonna says JUST LOOKING FOR TISSUES.
Bud says THOUGHT I LEFT
MY HAT HERE.
DW says NOW, WHERE DID I PUT MY CANDY?
Buster says I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.
JUST GOING TO THE BATHROOM.
Buster opens and closes the bathroom door. Then, he goes back to the bedroom, looks at the two walkie-talkies on the nigh table and laughs.
(indistinct chattering)
(beeping)
Muffy and Bailey have a nice time at the Krueger’s party.
Muffy says THAT MRS. KRUEGER
IS SO NICE.
SHE JUST LEANT ME
A CHARGER FOR MY PHONE.
Bailey says AND THIS IS THE MOST
DELIGHTFUL PUNCH I'VE EVER HAD.
Muffy says OOH! CHOCOLATE-COVERED
STRAWBERRIES.
THE GOODIES HERE ARE EVEN BETTER
THAN THE MCNEIL'S.
Bailey says I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE.
Jane says MUFFY.
Muffy says HI, MR. AND MRS. READ.
WHAT A GREAT PARTY.
Jane says I KNOW, BUT WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT ARTHUR'S
SLEEPOVER IN THE TREE HOUSE?
Muffy says IT'S A LONG STORY.
BUT I'M HEADING OVER THERE
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Jane says WE'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT.
WE SHOULD BE LEAVING SOON
ANYWAY.
Muffy says I LOVE YOUR COSTUME, MRS...
SAPERSTEIN.
Ethel says ETHEL SAPERSTEIN.
AND I LOVE YOURS.
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG
WITH ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Muffy says WHAT'S HE DRESSED AS?
Ethel says MY HUSBAND?
HE'S A GOLEM.
Muffy Says WHAT'S THAT?
Ethel says HAVE A SEAT.
I'LL TELL YOU
A LITTLE STORY.
I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
JUST ABOUT YOUR AGE.
WE LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN,
CALLED MINDELPLATZ,
NOT FAR FROM PRAGUE.
(chiming)
At Ratburn’s house, a fake spider hanging from the ceiling shows Binky a note.
Binky says I KNOW, I KNOW.
TURN THE LANTERN ON.
(thumping)
A creepy wooden puppet lying on a bed looks at Binky with one eye missing.
Binky says HMM. NOW, WHAT DID
BUSTER SAY?
OH, YEAH,
UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS.
(thumping)
The wooden puppet says CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE SOLVED
THE FIRST PUZZLE.
Binky says A BOOK?
I WAS KIND OF HOPING
FOR SOME CANDY.
The wooden puppet says IT'S THE COLLECTED WORKS
OF EDGAR ALLAN POE,
THE ANNOTATED VERSION.
A TREAT...FOR THE MIND.
Binky says I PREFER TREATS
FOR THE BELLY.
The wooden puppet says BUT THIS TREAT
ALSO CONTAINS CLUES
FOR SOLVING
THE OTHER PUZZLES.
PROCEED TO THE NEXT ROOM.
Binky says WELL, NOTHING IN HERE
BUT A BRICK WALL.
(scratching)
(loud groaning)
YIKES. MR. RATBURN HAS A REALLY
BAD MOUSE PROBLEM.
Behind the brick wall, Ratburn’s voice says ALAS, I AM TRAPPED
IN THIS WINE CELLAR
FOREVER.
JUST LIKE POOR FORTUNATO.
IN WHICH CLASSIC
EDGAR ALLEN POE STORY?
Binky says OH! UH...
THE GOLD BUG.
Ratburn says NO.
Binky says ELEONORA?
Ratburn says NO.
Binky says THE PIT AND THE PENDELOOM?
Ratburn says NO! AND IT'S PRONOUNCED
"PENDULUM."
HAVE YOU READ ANY OF THE STORIES
I'VE ASSIGNED?
Binky says WAIT. IS THAT YOU,
MR. RATBURN?
THAT TOILET PAPER WASN'T MINE.
OKAY, IT WAS MINE,
BUT I WASN'T GOING
TO TOILET-PAPER YOUR HOUSE.
OKAY, I WAS GOING
TO TOILET-PAPER YOUR HOUSE,
BUT I COULDN'T
GO THROUGH WITH IT.
PLEASE! DON'T GIVE ME
DETENTION FOR LIFE!
Binky punches the wall and it falls apart.
Binky says I DIDN'T DO THAT EITHER.
Ratburn says THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO.
Binky says HUH?
Ratburn says THAT'S THE NAME OF THE STORY
ON WHICH THIS ROOM
IS BASED.
HAD YOU ANSWERED CORRECTLY,
YOU WOULD HAVE WON
A LICORICE SKELETON.
Binky says TOO BAD.
THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
Ratburn says OH, YOU CAN HAVE SOME
ANYWAY.
I BOUGHT TONNES OF CANDY,
AND YOU WERE MY ONLY
TRICK-OR-TREATER.
Binky says THANKS!
WOW.
KIDS DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'VE MISSED.
THIS PLACE IS REALLY COOL.
Ratburn says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
Binky says YEAH.
IN FACT, IT KIND OF MAKES ME
WANT TO READ ALL THESE STORIES.
Ratburn says OH, I ALMOST FORGOT.
Ratburn shows Binky his backpack.
Binky says I REALLY WASN'T GOING
TO DO IT.
I SWEAR.
Ratburn says I BELIEVE YOU, BINKY.
BUT IF YOU MUST
DO A PRANK,
TRY TO FIND SOMETHING A LITTLE
SAFER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU
THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD
OF MY
FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER
ROOM.
The movie the kids were watching ends.
DW says THAT WASN'T VERY SCARY.
Bud says YEAH. THE ONLY SCARY PART
WAS WHEN THE BIG SPIDER
ATE THE GUY'S HAT.
DW says HUH? I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
Bud yawns and says OH, WAIT.
I THINK I DREAMED THAT PART.
Grandma says I THINK SOMEONE
MIGHT BE READ FOR BED.
Grandma takes DW by the hand.
Ladonna says YEAH. I SHOULD TAKE YOU HOME,
BUD.
Arthur says YOU CAN RETURN THE SWEATSHIRT
TOMORROW.
SORRY THINGS DIDN'T
WORK OUT AT THE TREE HOUSE.
Ladonna says HUH? OH, RIGHT.
I'M JUST GLAD THAT SPOOKY DOLL
DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN.
Arthur says ME TOO.
Francine says WELL, GET HOME SAFE.
DON'T FORGET
YOUR BACKPACK.
Ladonna and Bud leave.
DW looks under her bed.
DW says OKAY, ALL CLEAR.
AND YOU PROMISE YOU DIDN'T SEE
ANY LITTLE MUDDY FOOTPRINTS
IN MY ROOM, RIGHT?
Grandma says NO, DEAR. WHY?
DW says NO REASON.
(yawning)
GOOD NIGHT, GRANDMA.
Grandma says GOOD NIGHT, D.W.
Bud says WHAT ABOUT ZELDA?
WHERE'D SHE GO?
MOM WILL BE UPSET
IF SHE FINDS OUT SHE'S MISSING.
Ladonna says WE'LL COME BACK AND LOOK
FOR HER TOMORROW.
I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW...
(ghostly chuckling)
WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
Bud says I DIDN'T LAUGH.
The Voice says I KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
Bud says IT'S HER. IT'S ZELDA.
SHE'S COME TO LIFE.
IT WAS ALL D.W.'S IDEA, ZELDA!
Ladonna says CALM DOWN.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
The Voice says YOU CAN'T FIND ME.
I'M EVERYWHERE.
Ladonna opens her backpack and finds fake spiders and a walkie-talkie.
Ladonna says AAH!
(laughter)
Buster and Francine watch them from the window and laugh. Bud and Ladonna spot them.
The Voice says D.W.
DW says WHO'S THERE?
The Voice says COME PLAY WITH ME, D.W.
DW says "ME"?
WHO'S "ME"?
The Voice says I DON'T WANT TO PLAY
WITH ARTHUR.
I WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU.
I'VE MISSED YOU, D.W.
DW moves her stuffed animals and spots Zelda.
DW screams.
Holding a walkie-talkie, Arthur says YES!
Arthur’s parents arrive home.
DW runs down the stairs and says MOMMY, MOMMY!
ARTHUR PUT A CREEPY DOLL IN
MY BED AND SCARED ME REALLY BAD!
Arthur says SHE'S THE ONE WHO STARTED IT.
SHE RUINED MY WHOLE
SLEEPOVER.
Muffy walks into the living room and says HEY, GUYS. WHY WEREN'T YOU
AT THE TREE HOUSE?
I JUST CAME FROM THERE.
Francine says LADONNA, BUD AND D.W.
PRANKED US
AND MADE US THINK
THE TREE HOUSE WAS HAUNTED.
Buster says WE JUST PRANKED THEM BACK.
Buster and Francine high-five.
Francine says HOW WAS YOUR HALLOWEEN?
Muffy says WELL, I NEVER GOT
TO THE MCNEILS'.
BUT I DID WIND UP
AT THIS OTHER HOUSE
WHERE THEY WERE HAVING
A PARTY,
AND HAD GREAT TREATS.
HERE, I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
She shows them pictures on her cell phone.
Muffy continues THERE'S BAILEY.
HE STARTED DANCING
AND WOULDN'T STOP.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM HAVE
SO MUCH FUN.
THOSE ARE SOME
KOOKY GUESTS I MET.
THERE ARE THE READS.
Francine says WAIT, WAIT, GO BACK.
THAT'S THE WOMAN
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.
Buster says YOU MEAN THE ONE WHO...
Muffy says OH, YOU KNOW THE SAPERSTEINS?
THEY'RE A HOOT.
SHE TOLD ME THEY PLAY THIS GREAT
TRICK ON KIDS EVERY HALLOWEEN.
Francine says TRICK? WHAT TRICK?
Muffy says FIRST, SHE TELLS THIS STORY
ABOUT SOME MONSTER,
CALLED A GOLEM.
AND THEN THEY PRETEND SHE'S
HIS LITTLE SISTER, WHO VANISHED.
IT'S REALLY ELABORATE.
Francine says IT SURE IS.
WHO WOULD EVER
FALL FOR THAT?
Arthur says HEY, GUYS.
MOM AND DAD SAID
I HAVE TO CUT
THE HALLOWEEN
SLEEPOVER SHORT.
I KIND OF SCARED D.W.
A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
Jane says SO, TRUCE.
Arthur and DW shake hands and say TRUCE.
Jane says ALL RIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, YOU TWO.
MWAH. MWAH.
She kisses them both.
Later, DW walks into Arthur’s bedroom.
Arthur says WHAT IS IT, D.W.?
DW says I'M STILL SCARED.
Arthur sighs.
DW lies next to Arthur.
Arthur says THAT WAS A PRETTY COMPLICATED
TRICK YOU PLAYED ON ME.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW YOU DID ALL THAT.
DW says IT WASN'T SO HARD.
AFTER YOU SCARED ME
WITH THAT FAKE SNAKE
IN THE CEREAL BOX,
I CALLED BUD.
DW remembers the call.
Bud says A FAKE SNAKE
IN A CEREAL BOX?
OF ALL THE ROTTEN TRICKS.
SURE, I'LL HELP YOU
GET HIM BACK.
DW says WE PAID LADONNA 13 CENTS,
AN OLD CANDY CANE
AND SOME MONSTER STICKERS
TO HELP US.
BUT I THINK SHE REALLY DID IT
FOR KICKS.
SHE WAS THE ONE WHO
HAD THE IDEA TO SCARE YOU
WITH THAT BEAT-UP OLD DOLL.
I KNEW YOU WOULD WANT
TO DECORATE THE TREE HOUSE
FOR YOUR PARTY,
SO WE PUT ZELDA
NEAR THE HALLOWEEN STUFF.
THAT WAS THE WHOLE PLAN,
JUST TO SCARE YOU
IN THE ATTIC.
BUT WHEN I SAW THAT YOU HAD
TAKEN ZELDA WITH YOU,
I DECIDED WE SHOULD
KEEP GOING.
WE PUT ONE WALKIE-TALKIE
ON THE TREE HOUSE,
AND BUD HAD
THE OTHER ONE.
In a memory, Bud, DW and Ladonna hide behind a bush.
Talking on the walkie-talkie, Bud says ARTHUR.
Arthur says WHO'S THERE?
(wind gusting)
JUST THE WIND.
(all laughing)
Back in Arthur’s bedroom, DW says AND THEN LADONNA WROTE ON THE
WALL OF THE TREE HOUSE IN CHALK.
AND THEN SHE PUT
THE DOLL...
Arthur says OKAY, OKAY,
I KNOW THE REST.
WELL, THIS IS ONE HALLOWEEN
I'M SURE GOING TO REMEMBER.
DW says ME TOO.
Arthur says I WOULD NEVER LET ANYTHING
REALLY SCARY HAPPEN TO YOU.
I'D PROTECT YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
DW says YEAH.
AND I'D PROTECT YOU TOO.
(ghostly giggling)
Arthur says D.W.
DW says IT WASN'T ME.
I SWEAR.
(giggling continuous)
Arthur and DW gasp and scream.
Downstairs, Grandma and Kate play with the walkie-talkie and laugh.
