Spooky Buddies (2011) Movie Script

Move 'em out, Boys!

Let's go!

Move it out!

Tonight... is the night.

All Hallow's Eve.

The moon is full.

I'll show all those fools

just how powerful

Warwick the Warlock really is!

Master, you are the evilest.

Yes, I am.

Excuse me, Mr. Hoot, Sir?

When do we get to meet

the Howlloween Hound?

I think Master's almost ready.

The manor!

That no-good Warwick.

He must have the puppies.

Give me those bolt cutters.

Drat.

We must hurry.

Howlloween Hound on All

Hallow's Eve...

with the moon full and bright,

open a portal beyond light.

Call three times to summon

a hound of great might.

The souls of five puppies

you shall have on this night.

Howlloween Hound.

Howlloween Hound!

To our side, Howlloween Hound!

Who dares summon me?

I do, Hound.

Warwick the Great.

I have the five puppy souls

of the same blood.

I believe they are what you

need to open the portal.

And why should I open

the portal for you?

Because together we shall unleash

all the creatures of the

underworld on Fernfield.

And then you and I shall rule

the land, Hound.

I like the sound of that.

But we only have this Halloween night,

while the moon is full.

The Howlloween Hound will see

you now.

Let me go first.

Come on, Boys.

Here we go now.

Be careful, guys.

Ok, watch your backs, Boys.

Pip! We have to find him, Dad!

He's my best friend!

We will, Joseph.

Grab that tree trunk.

We have to break down the door.

Pip!

I've changed my mind. I don't wanna

go with the Howlloween Hound.

Master, the puppy

doesn't want to go now.

All I wanted was a wise owl.

And I seem to have got a

moronic parrot.

You're next.

You can't escape!

He's catching up to me!

Might as well accept your fate!

Got you!

Pip!

Stay back!

Stop, Warwick!

Stay back or I will turn you

all into toads!

Stay back!

Soon you will all be my slaves!

Son!

Deputy Tracker...

After him!

Quickly, Hound. Dawn is here!

Take the last puppy.

I'm fading.

Complete the spell!

Pip!

There's nothing I despise more

than petulant young children!

Let me go!

No! Pip!

The sun! My eyes!

Hound! Open the portal!

I need all five puppy souls.

It's too late, Warwick.

It's over, Warwick.

You're under arrest.

Enough of your black magic.

You're through.

Never.

I'll take this town under my

control one day.

Mark my words. I'll be back!

What in tarnation just happened?

Dad, look what they did to Pip.

This is a statue, Son.

No, it's Pip.

We have to turn Pip back.

Joseph, I'm right here.

We have to get out of this

place now.

No.

Come on, son. Let's go.

Wait. Why are you afraid?

It's just me, Pip.

What happened, Sheriff?

I don't know.

But hopefully it won't happen again.

Oh, no! I'm trapped in here.

This home is officially condemned.

Good idea!

About time!

Let's board it up, Boys!

I don't want anyone going in.

(Murmuring)

It was 75 years ago that the

Manor was boarded up.

No one is exactly sure

what happened that night

or whether the legend

is even true at all.

But it's an interesting part of

Fernfield folklore, regardless.

I can't wait for tonight.

Halloween is my favorite

event of the year, paws down.

You do a trick and you're

guaranteed to get a treat.

It's trick or treat, Budderball.

Even better!

For me, it's all about the costume.

I can't wait to dress up.

Kids go in there every Halloween...

and they say the Howlloween Hound's

name three times in the mirror.

They're never seen again.

Where did you hear that?

Come on.

He's just trying to scare us.

No. No, it's true.

And he gets their pets too.

Once you hear the Hound's howl...

it's too late.

Either way, this place

gives me the creeps.

Oh, my gosh.

Ok, Rodney and Skip, no more tricks.

Good one.

Come along, children.

Onto the bus!

We have one more stop on our

spooky Fernfield tour.

Come on, get the lead out.

Come on, let's go.

Let's get on the bus.

You should have seen

the look on their faces.

Where's B-Dawg hiding?

I wasn't hiding, yo.

I was just getting ready

to pounce on that Hound.

Yeah, right, Dude.

You were hiding like a scaredy-cat,

'cause you thought there was a ghost.

Pshaw, Dawg.

B-Dawg is afraid of nothing,

especially no ghost!

Then why are you afraid to go

trick-or-treating tonight?

Nice one, Dude!

Fine. I'll prove it.

I'll go in there right now,

call out that Howlloween Hound,

and kick his tail, yo.

B-Dawg, wait.

Where are you going?

Whoa! This place is really creepy.

A pup? What is he doing in here?

Come on, guys. We can't leave

B-Dawg in there by himself.

See? It's not too scary.

Did you guys just see that?

See what?

A strange glow, like a ghost.

Uh, nice one, Dawg.

Maybe we just oughta leave.

Ha! Look who's the 'fraidy cat now,

big tough Budderball.

We must respect the spirits

of the night.

Ghosts are lost souls that

can't find their way to heaven.

B-Dawg the Brave, here I go.

B-Dawg!

Let's reel him in before we

get in trouble.

This is the great Deputy

Tracker's grave...

(Murmuring)

One of the best canine officers

our town ever saw.

What? Where?

He had a nose for crime.

If there was evidence,

he had the best sniffer in town.

He could just smell it.

What?

Good afternoon, Mr. Johnson!

Whoa.

That's the caretaker.

He's been running this place

as long as I can remember.

Yo, Dawgs, did you see

that creepy old guy?

Yeah, that dude's, like,

spook central.

Ok, let's continue on, Children.

Here we go, B-Dawg.

Just say it three times,

and it will all be over.

Howlloween Hound.

Ok, nothing happened. Let's go!

Stop, please! Don't say it!

It's a ghost!

Let's get out of here, Dudes!

Come on, B-Dawg. Run!

Don't say it again!

You'll release them!

You're... you're the

Howlloween Hound!

Oh, no! You said it three times!

Run for your life!

Wait!

Wait! I'm not the Howlloween Hound!

The ghost is on my tail!

Yo, that was a ghost, Dawgs!

A real off-the-chain ghoul!

Dudes, was that the Howlloween Hound?

I said Howlloween Hound three

times into the mirror, Dawgs.

I released the Howlloween Hound!

Could it really be true?

They've released Master

after all these years?

B-Dawg is correct, although

he was smaller than I'd imagined.

Whatever it was, we are outta there.

And I, for one,

am never going back.

Come on.

Let's catch up to our kids.

Now, I know you're all excited

about trick-or-treating tonight,

but let's not forget that your Fernfield

history projects are due Monday.

Monday?

What a bonehead.

Yes, Billy. Is that a problem?

It's been assigned for the

last two weeks.

Oh! Oh, that project!

Yeah, I totally finished mine.

Great, Billy.

What subject did you choose?

I, uh...

The Curse of the Howlloween Hound.

Perhaps your project might

finally answer

whether the legend is true or not.

Oh, oh, definitely!

Ok, class dismissed.

Happy Halloween!

Bye.

Wow.

What am I gonna do?

If I don't pass this project,

I'm gonna be history!

What do you mean, Billy?

Sounds like you've got

a great spooky topic.

I just picked the first thing

that came into my head.

I totally forgot about

this history project.

Uh-oh.

I don't even know if I'll be able

to go trick-or-treating tonight.

Now, that's a disaster.

You know, if the police were involved,

then I bet Sheriff Dan knows

a thing or two about it.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, good idea.

All right, let's go check it out.

All right.

Yeah, let's go.

The Howlloween Hound, yeah.

I've heard that spooky story

around the campfire once or twice.

Careful, kids,

there's a stair here that...

Yep, that's the one.

Ok. Sheriff Jim kept all the evidence

from every case he was ever

on down here.

We're bound to find something

in these cold case files.

How are we gonna find

anything down here?

Don't worry, kids. I got this

entire room perfectly organized.

That's been moved.

Uh-huh.

Ok, we're looking for 1937.

1978.

1983.

1976. This could prove difficult.

Hey, I think this is it, Sheriff Dan!

What?

Yeah, check it out!

Holy Dinah!

Sweet!

That's good detective work, Billy.

Yeah.

Halloween, 1937.

Whoa!

Oh!

No! No, wait, wait!

Oh, Dude.

Uh... Wow.

Ok... yep.

Thanks, Sheriff Dan.

Sweet.

Whoa, that's cool.

Whoa!

What is that?

Wow!

Whoa.

Sick.

That's quite the magic wand.

Hey, that'd be great

for my presentation.

Huh.

Do you think I could borrow it?

Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Well, it is a part of this

cold case file.

But it's been over 70 years,

so, uh...

Ah, what the heck.

Cool.

But remember, that's police evidence,

so I'm gonna need that back, Billy.

Oh, I promise I'll bring it back.

Ok. Wouldn't want you casting

any spells.

Well, let's go back upstairs.

I have a soufflé in the oven.

Soufflé?

Dude.

Hey there, Deputy Dude.

Huh? What's going on?

Ooh!

Top of the morning to you, Buddies.

Actually, it's afternoon, Deputy.

We were wondering where you

pups went.

Hey, guys, it's four o'clock!

If we don't get ready

for trick-or-treating,

we're not gonna maximize

our candy potential!

Yeah.

Thanks for all the help, Sheriff Dan.

Well, good luck with your

project, Billy.

You let Sheriff Dan know if there's

anything else I can do for you.

And you kids, remind your parents

to come to the Fernfield

Spooky Brew Ha-Ha tonight,

or I'll have to arrest them!

Thanks, Sheriff. Bye!

See you!

Come on, B-Dawg.

Let's go, Boy.

Hey, Mom.

Oh, hello, Dear.

I gotta get ready for

trick-or-treating.

Did you pick up the costume?

Oh, I sure did.

It's just over there on the table.

Cool.

And I bought a matching one

for B-Dawg as well!

Oh, sweet.

Mom?

Oh, isn't that adorable?

You are just gonna be the cutest

little hip-hopper out there.

Mom, I said hip-hop rapper,

not hip-hop rabbit!

I mean, are you trying to

completely ruin our street cred?

I'm sorry. We cannot wear these.

Billy, you two will look

adorable as bunnies.

Huh.

Check it out, B-Dawg.

I present to you, Warwick the Warlock,

at your service.

I'm sorry, B-Dawg,

but it's really not that bad.

Hey, check this out, Buddy.

This must have been what the

warlock looked like.

And see the photo?

That must be the boy from the story,

and his little pup, Pip. See?

2332 Pine Lane.

I wonder if he still lives there.

Yeah, I know, it was,

like, 75 years ago.

He'd be older than Grandpa by now.

Man, that's old.

If I could just talk to him,

this would be the easiest project ever.

It's kind of creepy.

Hurry!

Almost... got it.

There!

Dude, chill. It's just a dumb cat.

I bet there's tons of weird

stuff we can use

to scare those dudes from

class with.

Oh, Man. It's getting dark.

We better hurry.

Whoa.

Almost.

What? I got more visitors?

Check it out.

Whoa.

All right.

With the Howlloween Hound,

I will control the world.

Hey, that is really good.

Thanks, Dawg.

Whoa.

Why is that thing, like, glowing?

Oh, yeah. lntriguing.

Huh.

I don't know.

Maybe it has batteries or something.

Argh, nice costume, Matey!

Does the "B" stand for bunny?

This ain't no ordinary rabbit

costume, Dawgs.

It's a killer rabbit.

And those things are da bomb!

Now let's go score some sugar.

Oh, yeah.

There are healthy alternatives

to sugar, too.

My family is handing out

homemade almond raisin granola.

How cool is that?

Ok, no offense,

but I vote we skip Sam's house!

Yeah.

Me, too.

Me three.

Ah, Man.

Sorry.

Sorry, Buddy. Come on!

Whoa, check out the full moon!

Awesome!

Whoa.

"Rodentus...

trans...

something."

Rodney!

What?

We are... free!

Oh, no!

Oh, it was horrendous in there!

Are you the ones that released us?

Speak up!

Wait a minute.

Where's my staff? My book?

You've stolen them, haven't you?

Give me that.

Ratius rodentius!

Oh, no!

What happened to us?

Let's get out of here!

Now... they won't be able

to warn the rest of the town.

We must finish the spell.

I can smell the blood of the

five puppies we need.

They have been in this room.

Oh, no!

Hey, watch where you're going!

That's my tail!

Will you zip it?

We have to find help!

You'll make a great Halloween treat.

Come on! We were just kidding before!

We love cats, really!

Oh.

The Manor has seen better days.

Master, it's true.

You're back!

Yes, Hoot, you moronic birdbrain.

Go and find my staff.

Nothing can happen without it.

It'll be illuminated by the moonlight.

Yes, Master.

Hoot will find the glowing staff

and I will find my spell book.

If they can leave,

then maybe I can too.

I'm free! Yes!

Ok, I better go warn those puppies.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Come on!

Guys, let's go to this house.

I hope they have Strawberry

Fizz Bombs at the next house.

Let's go check out this one!

Come on, let's go!

They're amazing!

Let's go.

Come on!

Yo, let's get this trick-or-treatin'

show on the road.

I don't want any more run-ins

with that Howlloween Hound dog

or any other creepy ghost,

for that matter.

Dude, they're just kids

in Halloween costumes.

Either way, Dawg, I'm keeping

my eye on everything tonight.

Wait up, Sam!

Ah! Get away!

Look at that old guy.

Get away!

Excuse me.

Real scary.

(Mumbles)

This is horrible.

Evil creatures are roaming

the streets.

Oh.

Hurry!

Yeah, come on.

The best candy's at the next house!

Trick or treat!

That pink goblin is hideous!

You've misled me, Warwick.

This town has already been taken over.

Quickly, Hound.

We still have some time.

Go and find your puppy souls.

Come on, let's go!

Come on, let's go cash out.

Dude!

Whoa.

Who dare knocks on my door?

Dude, sweet costume!

Yeah!

Dude, it's Frankendude to you.

Oh, hello, Children!

Mrs. Carroll!

Hi, Mrs. Carroll.

It's Mrs. Frankendude.

Welcome to our spooky house.

Yeah.

So, what do you think?

It's totally awesome.

Oh, it's so cool.

Trick or treat?

Rad. Yeah, let Frankendude

help you out there, all right?

Except one per customer or

Frankendude will get upset

and then have to storm the village.

That will be uncool.

Good night. Thanks!

Later.

Shaka brah!

Hang ten on it.

Let's check that place out!

See ya in the tube.

Let's go check out

the next house, Guys.

Let's hurry up!

Oh, he's so cute.

It's time for us to get some treats.

Watch and learn.

Look, he's coming up on the porch.

The dude begs.

Oh, Bark.

He chases his tail...

Cute! He's going in a circle!

Then rolls over.

And for the finale,

Budderball's signature trick:

Plays starving!

Oh!

Oh.

Go get some treats.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If Budderball's an expert at anything,

it's begging for treats.

Oh, yes.

He earned it.

He did earn it.

There you go.

Yeah!

Really, really good!

I'm so excited, you guys!

That was awesome!

Hey, there's another ghost!

Maybe he can help me.

Excuse me. My name is Pip.

I was wondering if you've seen

five Golden Retriever puppies?

That tickles.

Ghost!

Help, Mom!

I just saw a real ghost!

Time to go home.

You've had enough sugar for one night.

Uh-oh. I guess ghosts are scary.

I better disguise myself.

That was such a jackpot.

I got all my favorite candy.

Come on, Sam!

Geez, Guys, wait up, l'm coming.

There's the Master's staff.

Two words: Godzilla feet!

Trick or treat!

Oh, what have we here?

All right, here's for you.

Thank you!

There you are.

Thank goodness I found you guys!

Yo, if you're lookin' for a pawtograph,

I ain't in da mood.

I'm here to warn you about

the Howlloween Hound.

How did you know about that?

It's the Howlloween Hound!

I told you dawgs he'd come

after us!

No, I'm not.

Run, Dawgs!

Yo, this ghost dawg

just doesn't give up!

What do we do?

I know a place.

If there's anyone who can help

us with a paranormal problem,

it's Zelda. Follow me.

Please, wait.

I'm just trying to warn you guys.

That must be them.

It looks like someone else

is after those puppies, too.

Remind me to never

come trick-or-treating

here at 2332 Pine Lane again!

Talk about no Halloween spirit!

2332 Pine Lane?

Hey! Guys, the boy from the

story lived here.

This was Joseph's house.

Go knock on the door, Billy.

Maybe he still lives there.

Alice, come on, he'd be, like,

a thousand years old or something.

Well, nothing ventured,

nothing gained.

I guess nobody's home.

See, I told you guys.

It's just a creepy old house

with nobody in it.

What?

Behind you, look.

Oh, ha ha. Good one, Sam,

but I'm not gonna fall for...

Uh...

For reals?

Yeah.

Oh! Um...

Uh, hello, sir. I...

I was just wondering if this

boy still lives here.

No, this boy hasn't lived here

in quite some time.

What do you want?

Well, you see,

I'm doing this school project

on The Curse of the Howlloween Hound,

you know, an old Fernfield legend,

and I was just hoping

to ask him some questions.

I'm sure if that boy wanted

to talk about it

he would have a long time ago.

Now go away!

Oh, ok. I'm sorry, Sir.

Hey, Boy!

Where'd you get that staff?

Hand it over!

That's very dangerous!

Run! Go!

Come on! Go!

He's behind us!

So creepy!

I must find out who's responsible

for this infestation.

No one beats Warwick the Warlock

at his own game.

What is this?

Perhaps the evil sorcerer

lives there?

All the ghouls and goblins

are flocking to his door.

Trick or treat!

Who dares...

Dude, a little bit, uh,

old for trick-or-treating?

No!

Now give me what's rightfully mine!

Ok, I think that would entail

a trick on your part.

Wow.

Master, I have good news.

Ok, that's... Wow, ventriloquism.

That's impressive.

Yeah, Bro, you just got

yourself a treat. Nice.

So, this is what food tastes

like these days.

Later.

Now, Hoot, tell me the good news.

Have you found my staff?

Yes, a young warlock has it.

I leave for 75 measly years,

and they find someone new to

replace me.

Trick or treat!

Where's the respect?

I think we lost him.

Why is that ghost dude after us?

Maybe he wants to drink our blood!

That's vampires.

Maybe he wants to eat our brains.

That's zombies, Dude.

Maybe he wants to devour

everything he sees.

That's Budderball.

Hmm?

It's probably because B-Dawg

released him from the mirror.

Oh, sure, Dawg, blame me!

It's you guys teasing me and calling

me scaredy-cat that made me do it.

It's true. We have to take personal

responsibility for our own actions.

Wait up!

Trick or treat!

He's got all kinds of terrifying

creatures following him.

Thanks!

Let's check out that place.

How will we get to him?

Those are just his friends, Master.

Friends?

With creatures of the underworld?

No, they're...

Silence!

I need to focus.

Trick or treat!

Come on, Guys! Let's go!

Let's go over here!

You there!

Huh?

Young warlock.

Um, he's...

Do you know who I am?

Uh... I'm not sure?

I am Warwick the Warlock,

the evilest warlock known to man!

Oh!

I will make all of you ghouls

my slaves!

Uh...

Now...

Give me that staff!

Here, take it, Mister.

Whoa!

What was that?

Whoa!

That was awesome.

How did you do that?

Dawg, I have no idea!

But I'm pretty sure that guy

was who he says he is.

What do you mean?

Check this out!

That dude really is the Warlock!

Yeah!

Oh, no.

Uh, guys...

I believe that now would be

an opportune time to run.

Go!

Run!

Are you ok, Master?

I clearly underestimated that warlock.

Guys, come on!

Come on!

Whoa.

What was with that guy?

Yo, I have no idea, but he

wanted this thing pretty badly.

We better find Sheriff Dan,

like, now!

Let's go.

Yeah, again, great bit before,

but, uh, it's kinda one piece

of candy per trick.

Look, I need your help, Monster.

You're big and you're scary,

the perfect henchman for this job.

Slavius mineus!

What the...

Now, you will do exactly as

I tell you.

Dude.

I want you to find a young warlock

whose staff has a shiny blue crystal.

I want you to seize it.

Yes, Master.

And then eliminate him.

Yes, Master.

Dude. Dude.

Dude.

I probably should have used

someone smarter for this job.

Idiot!

I believe this is the place.

Hello? Is anyone home?

I don't think anybody's here.

Yo, check out this crystal

ball, Dawgs.

It's like a giant gumball.

Welcome.

Yo, Dawgs,

the gumball is talking to us!

I am Zelda.

I am all-knowing and all-seeing.

I specialize in the mystic

and otherworldly.

I also do doggy weddings

and doggy bar mitzvahs.

Now, I sense you puppies are

in danger.

Only if we end up at your groomer.

B-Dawg! I apologize for my brother.

We need your help because this

ghost has been chasing us.

Well, this is Halloween,

the only night spirits are

free to roam.

We must make contact with

this ghost of yours.

Oh, I have a Ouija board.

It can be used to contact the

other side.

Hello?

I don't think you're gonna

need your Luigi board.

There's the ghost!

Oh, a ghost!

That dudette is down for the count.

Please, I'm not gonna hurt you.

That's what ghosts always say

before they eat you.

Ghosts don't eat.

There's no way for us to.

That's the saddest thing

I've ever heard.

I'm a friendly ghost, I promise.

Oh, my, what a horrible dream.

I know I look a bit strange.

Oh!

But I was once a pup just

like you.

My name is Pip.

You're the pup from the story.

Yes. I've been like this

ever since that night.

The Hound stole my brothers'

and sisters' souls.

The spell must have been

interrupted that night.

Your soul was left in limbo.

I'm sorry I scared you guys

at the Manor.

I was trying to stop you

from releasing the Hound.

Yeah, and we're sorry, too, Pip.

I'm Rosebud, and these are my brothers,

B-Dawg, Mudbud, Buddha and Budderball.

The Hound and Warwick are free.

They're still trying

to finish their spell,

but they need five puppies

of the same blood to do it.

They're after you guys.

We must stop them from

completing the spell.

And Pip, now that you

have left the Manor,

if you do not return to your

body before sunrise,

you will be lost forever.

We must find the body

you once inhabited.

We shall ask the spirits

through my crystal ball.

Oh, beautiful and wise one,

we ask for your help on this

night of Halloween.

Please show us this young pup's body.

Does it still exist

on the earthly plane?

That's me! I turned to stone

the night it all happened.

Ah, snap! The cemetery?

I mean, is it really necessary

to go there, dawgs?

Hello, Puppies.

Oh, no! It's the Howlloween Hound!

Come out, come out,

and I'll have your souls for dinner.

Oh, no. I'm stuck!

The back door, quickly!

Come on!

Mr. Carroll?

Oh, Mr. Carroll!

Maybe you can help us.

Give me staff!

That's not normal,

even for Mr. Carroll.

That dude's eyes are creepy!

We better get to that party!

Sheriff Dan's there!

Yeah, come on!

Come on!

Dude.

Billy! Billy, come on!

Dance with your mom. Whoo!

Whoo!

Mom, I really don't have time right now.

See, there's a monster chasing us.

Of course there is, Dear.

It's Halloween!

Give me staff!

There he is.

Run! Run!

Oh, Sweetheart, where are you going?

Dude.

This must be that young

Warlock's lair!

It's swarming with all those creatures.

This warlock is more powerful

than I thought.

Hand over the candy.

Stay back, Demon!

You'll not trick-or-treat me!

Wait a minute.

You're no demon!

And you...

You're no goblin!

You!

What kind of trickery is this?

These are just kids in disguises!

Out of my way!

Let's get outta here!

Dudes! Sniffer!

He'll know what to do

about that nasty Hound!

Deputy Sniffer!

Wake up! Wake up!

We need your help!

Trick-or-treat, smell my paws.

Yo, Dawg!

It's a straight up 9-1-1!

Buddies, you startled me there.

What's the problem?

Did someone steal Budderball's

candy bag?

No. This is more serious

than trick-or-treating.

Well, hi there, Zelda.

Deputy Dawg, we got a serious problem.

The Howlloween Hound has been released!

I sense we have a few hours

before the entire town is doomed,

and soon after that, the whole world!

You're quite the trickster, Zelda.

My great grandpappy Tracker

used to tell me that old wives'

tale when I was just a pup.

Scared the bejesus outta me.

Deputy Sniffer,

I can assure you the legend is true.

Wow, great ghost costume.

It's not a costume, Deputy Sniffer.

He's a ghost.

See, I can float through walls.

Oh! Look at...

Whoa! Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.

My name is Pip.

I knew your great grandpappy,

Deputy Tracker.

We could really use your help.

Uh, would this hound happen

to be large and brown

and, uh, with green eyes?

Oh, no! He's found us!

The long paw of the law

will handle this intruder.

You guys go.

Hurry, we must get to the cemetery.

Stop in the name of the law!

Time to meet your fate.

You're under arrest!

What in tarnation do you...

Oh, there you are, Frank!

You didn't tell me you

left early for the party!

Uh...

Come on!

The costume contest is starting

and you're a shoo-in!

Come on!

Oh, I love your costume!

You're a wizard, right?

I am a warlock, Madam,

and I'm not wearing a costume!

Now unhand me,

you crazy kitty cat!

Ok, all right.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please,

a round of applause

for the finalists for most

original costume.

Ok, you've got your numbers.

All right, make a nice,

clean line, please.

Sheriff! Sheriff.

I've really gotta talk to you.

It's really, really important.

In a jiffy, Billy.

I just have to announce the winner,

all right?

But, Sheriff!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

the first place winner is...

Drum roll, please.

The winner is...

Frank Carroll! Frankendude!

Move!

Honey, that's great!

Useless monster!

Must I do everything myself?

Staff!

Say "Cheese"!

Heavens to Betsy!

Somebody had a bit too much

spooky punch!

Oh, honey, are you ok?

You know that story about the warlock?

Hypothetically speaking,

could Warwick return to Fernfield

even if it was, like,

75 years ago?

Billy, it's Halloween!

All the scariest monsters

return this time of year.

Give the staff to me, Boy!

It belongs to me, Warwick,

the greatest warlock of all time!

I've gotta return that to

Sheriff Dan!

What have you done with my book?

Now, Sir!

That, my friend, is a party foul!

Unhand that boy!

Enough monkey business!

Monkey business, eh?

Let's go!

Come on!

Transformius monchius!

What in tarnation?

You're under arrest

for insulting an officer of

the law!

No one makes a monkey

out of Sheriff Dan!

Great trick! Just fabulous!

Thank you! It's good to be loved!

But it's better to be feared!

Wow!

That was amazing.

That was!

Baby, come over here!

Come on, dance!

♪ Ghosts and goblins and

green little things

♪ They're comin' up, comin' up

My, oh my, it's a scream ♪

Dude, did you get the staff

to Sheriff Dan?

Sort of.

Uh, what do you mean?

Uh...

Hey, that monkey

is dressed like Sheriff Dan.

That is Sheriff Dan!

What?

Run kids! He's coming!

But, Dude, where's Warwick?

There you are!

Does that answer your question?

Uh-huh.

Now, where is that book?

Or do you all want to be

turned into monkeys, too?

No, really, Mister,

we don't know where the book is!

Wrong answer, Boy.

Monchius appe...

Hurry!

Uh...

Come with me!

Before it's too late! Come on!

Come on.

They won't get far.

What's the plan now, Dudette?

Everyone, look around for

Pip's body.

We don't have much time.

Whoa! That's me.

"Pip. Rest in peace.

Most loyal friend of Joseph.

The best pup a boy could ever have."

What do we do now, Zelda?

Ok, well, uh, I have to confess.

I've never really returned

a spirit to a body, per se.

But I'll give it a whirl.

Help us, spirits,

and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

Help us, spirits,

and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

It's working!

Help us, spirits,

and take this soul.

Place it back into the body

the Hound once stole!

Whoa, guys, my legs!

I can wiggle my nose!

Wow, guys, I can chase my tail!

I'm back! Whoo!

How can I ever thank you guys?

Watch me run!

Look at me go!

Whoo! Awesome!

Come on, Kids.

Hurry! Hurry, hurry!

Quickly, everyone inside!

There they are!

I want that book!

You'll be safe here.

Evil like Warwick cannot

enter the house of God.

Well, how come you have a key?

I'm the organist here every Sunday.

Don't worry, Kids.

We beat Warwick once,

we can do it again.

This is you, isn't it?

You're the boy from the legend.

That was sure a long time ago.

Well, um, I'm Billy,

and this is Alice,

and that's Pete and Bartleby,

and that's Sam.

Joseph. Joseph Johnson.

This time, there's nowhere to run.

Mr. Hound, I am Zelda.

I am all-knowing and all-seeing.

I specialize in the mystic

and otherworldly.

I believe I can help you

come from the dark

back into the light.

I actually like the darkness.

Now get out of my way.

Oh, no!

Hoot.

Go tell that idiot Warwick

I've captured the puppies.

Now, I have a different plan

for you pups.

We're doomed!

For 75 years I held onto this book...

Dreading a full moon

on Halloween night.

It's the only night Warwick could

return to finish the spell.

They have my book!

How do I get my hands on it?

Whoa, what's up with this book?

The writing's all trippy.

It's Latin. I learned the language

and studied the book

from cover to cover,

trying to decipher its meaning,

so I could stop Warwick.

So, what's the book say, Mr. Johnson?

Warwick will need three items

to complete the spell tonight

for the evil spirits of the

Netherworld to remain here.

The nether-what now?

That's another name for a

place where ghosts live,

usually bad ones.

Halloween is the one night

these spirits can roam free

in our world.

Only the Howlloween Hound

can call them out.

Warwick will use those spirits

to control the townsfolk of Fernfield.

But you said he needs three

things, right?

That's right.

His staff, the spell book...

and one other thing.

Well, what is it?

The souls of five young puppies

who share the same blood.

Like brothers and sisters?

The Buddies!

Master!

Don't sneak up on me like that!

Hound has captured the five puppies.

Perfect!

Those puppies will come in handy

in more ways than one.

Good work, Hound.

Now all I need is my book.

You take these puppies

back to the Manor

and I will meet you there.

Open wide like the jaws of a dragon!

You in there!

I have something you want.

Yo, Dawgs,

it's that creepy old warlock!

If you want to see your

puppies again,

you better bring that book to

my Manor!

Oh, no, they've got the Buddies!

Yeah, but what if they're

just trying to trick us?

You really want to take that

chance, Dude? I wouldn't.

I told those wretched children

to bring me my spell book.

What if they don't come with

the book?

Quiet, you moronic birdbrain.

They will want to save

their precious puppies, won't they?

Mr. Johnson, what happens

if we can't stop them?

Then the spirits will be under

Warwick's control forever.

They'll take over Fernfield first,

and who knows what they'll do next?

Yeah, that's definitely not good.

We have to put an end to this

tonight, for all time.

What are you dudes up to?

We're gonna get that dirty rat.

Hey, I resent that comment.

Come on, or you'll be a dirty

rat for the rest of your life.

Ready to exact some revenge!

Soon, they will be here

with my spell book,

and you can devour those...

delicious puppy souls.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Oh, what is it?

Something is biting me! Ow!

Quickly, Hound,

Hoot do something! Ow!

Yo, now that dawg has some

serious moves.

Vermin!

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Change us back, you jerk!

Run for it, Dude!

Back off, you vermin!

Hound! Get them!

I'll get that book from those

stupid kids!

Our kids are here?

Oh, no!

You guard the puppies.

Yes, Master.

Fail me, and I'll turn you

into a feather duster.

Psst, Buddies.

Pip!

We have to get you out of here.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm saving my friends.

I can't let them escape.

Master would be furious.

Hoot, why are you so loyal to Warwick?

Seriously, Dude!

It's totally obvious he plans

to get rid of you.

Master sometimes gets angry,

but he would never get rid of me.

He needs me!

Yo, are you hallucinatrippin'?

He's got that Howlloween Hound

to do his dirty work now.

Man, he calls you names

like moronic birdbrain.

That does sound like something

he'd say.

You have a conscience, but yet

you have spent your whole life

being bossed around by someone

who doesn't respect you.

What do you know?

I know you never meant to

hurt us, Hoot.

And even though you've been under

Warwick's control for a long time,

you still have a chance at a

happy life in this beautiful world.

But if Warwick wins,

we'll all be doomed.

Haven't the last 75 years

without evil

been a lot nicer than your

time under Warwick's wing?

It was kind of nice not having to

look over my shoulder all the time.

You won't regret it, Hoot.

I promise.

Run! He's on our tails!

Rats! Another ridiculous chase.

We've got to go, Buddies,

before they return.

Puppies, how did you get out?

I let them go.

I knew I couldn't trust you.

I've had enough of the dark side.

I won't be responsible for

anymore evil.

Run, Puppies, run!

Let's go!

Dudes, we're trapped!

Finally, your puppy souls

will be mine.

Let them go, Hound.

All you need is me.

What is this?

It's me, Pip.

You stole all my brothers'

and sisters' souls.

Now all you need is me

to complete the spell.

Then you'll have five souls

of the same blood.

Why, Pip, I do remember you.

Your siblings were delicious.

Take me and let the Buddies go.

You don't need them.

Goodbye, Buddies.

No, Dude! Don't!

Stop! No!

Don't do it!

Pip!

This way, Puppies.

I can now open the portal.

I'm not waiting for that idiot

Warwick any longer.

Open the portal!

Release the spirits of the Netherworld!

Oh, no!

They've opened the portal!

Have faith, young ones.

We can still stop it.

Yeah.

Did you guys see that?

Let's get out of here!

Run!

♪ One dark, scary night some wolves... ♪

Sheriff Dan really went all

out this year.

The special effects are amazing!

Oh, yeah.

(Babbling)

Dude.

Perfect.

Bring it right to me.

Yo, this place is a lot

creepier at night.

Stay close to me, Kids.

Warwick!

We're here. We have your book.

Ah, just in time.

Hand it over!

Where are the Buddies?

Oh, they're around here somewhere.

Now, I'll be taking that book.

No book until you hand over

the puppies.

Oh, really?

Mr. Johnson!

Oh, Mr. Johnson, are you ok?

Are you ok?

My book!

Go after him, kids.

It's up to you now.

Let's go.

Dude. Dude.

Now I shall complete the spell,

and all the creatures

of the Netherworld...

Will be here forever.

And I will rule the land.

"Our Father who art..."

Wait a minute.

This is not my spell book!

It's the Bible!

You!

Hand me my staff... Boy!

No! Protectus!

Whoa!

Oh, sweet mama!

Where there's a kitchen,

there's gotta be food.

Quick, we need to hide before

the Howlloween Hound finds us.

Mmm, perfect. Pickled eggs!

A fellow can't fight evil

on an empty stomach.

Ew, Budderball, those are eyeballs.

They're a bit rubbery.

Uh, Dude!

No, seriously, Mudbud, they're

not that bad. You want one?

Now, Budderball, please don't panic,

but the Howlloween Hound

is right behind you!

And I shouldn't panic?

Hello, Puppies.

Just thought I would visit the

kitchen for a late night snack.

All right, Dawg, you win,

but take Budderball first.

Uh, he's got the most meat on

his bones.

B-Dawg!

Actually, I'm not that tasty.

Really.

Silence! I don't care who's first.

You'll all end up in the same spot.

Trust me, Dawgs. I've got a plan.

B-Dawg has a plan?

I can have a plan.

Yo, Budderball, when I tell you,

let one rip.

Do it, Dawg!

No! This can't be happening!

Our secret weapon!

That was wicked, Dude!

That takes years of practice.

Good thinking, B-Dawg.

I knew Budderball's potion

could neutralize anything,

including the Howlloween Hound.

The kids! Come on!

Quickly, Billy!

The sun is rising!

Say the spell!

Come on, Billy!

Say it, Dude!

Aboleo alicia. ("I abolish Alice.")

Quod etiam bestia.

("That is the beast.")

Quod inritus universitas res.

("That reputation from the world of business.")

Verto super Quod narro is thrice.

("To turn on and say it thrice.")

All's ut eram inerferta furta

("All that was inertial theft")

Dnuoh Neewollwoh.

("Howlloween Hound")

Dnuoh Neewollwoh.

("Howlloween Hound")

Dnuoh Neewollwoh.

("Howlloween Hound")

You're finished, Warwick!

I will take you with me!

Mr. Johnson! No!

Ah! Ah!

It's you, that petulant child!

You're back!

The name is Joseph.

Joseph Johnson!

No!

Whoa!

Uh, what if he comes back?

I don't think that will

happen again, Alice.

Whoa!

Huh?

(Muttering)

(Babbling)

What? What?

Pip!

Oh, Pip. Pip.

But where are the Buddies?

Whoa!

Rosebud!

B-Dawg! Come here.

Hey, Buddha.

Budderball. Budderball.

Come on, everyone!

Let's get out of this evil place!

Yeah.

Come on, Buddy, let's go!

Come on, let's go!

I'm here. Clear the way.

I'm here. It's ok.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

I haven't had an episode like this since

that Kiss concert in the '80s. Wow!

Maybe now I can be a wise owl.

It's a new day at last.

Hey, can we get some help

over here?

Oh.

Yeah, it's cold!

Can someone find our clothes?

Thanks again for all the help,

Mr. John...

I mean, Joseph.

It was a pleasure... Dawg.

So, what are you gonna do now?

Well, I tracked down Pip's

brothers' and sisters' owners.

They live all across America now,

so we're going to visit.

Figure it's about time

that Pip and I do some living.

See the country.

It's so great to have

a new leash on life.

I'll miss you, Buddies.

Yo, Dawg, we'll catch you

on the flip side.

I think what my brother's saying is,

we'll never forget you.

Hang loose, Dude.

Now that you can eat again,

do me a favor.

You need to check out the chili

cheese dogs at every town you visit

and tell us which one's the best.

Have a great time, Pip.

Goodbye, Buddies.

I haven't felt this spry in years.

We better hit the road. Bye, Kids.

Bye, Mr. Johnson!
