Deadtime Stories (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 11 - Who's Giggling Now? - full transcript

(rain falling)

(door creaks)

- Okay, I know you guys
are in here somewhere

so quit clowning around.

(lightening cracks)

If you think you're gonna scare
me, it's not gonna happen!

(lightening cracks)

Guys?

(cell phone rings)

Hello?

Hello?



- [Voice on phone] Get
outta the house! Now!

(tense music)

- No.

(comedic music)

You get out of the closet!

(door creaks open)

(children yell)

The sauna!

- [Both] Correct! Gotcha!

- Okay, you guys are good.

So I'm guessing you guys are
in for a scary story tonight?

- Yeah and it better be a good one too!

- Which means it better
be a Deadtime story!

- Oh come on, would I
bring you anything less?



- [Both] Yes!

- But I do have a question
for you guys though,

how do you feel about clowns?

(mysterious circus music)

- Not so good.

- They kinda freak me out.

- (laughs) Well that's exactly
what you're in for, clowns!

Well, one clown really.

One spooky, scary, freaky
clown named Giggles.

- Who's Giggling Now?

- I'm guessing that has to be Giggles.

- Mmhmm.

- What does he do?

- I don't know, but I'm guessing

you might want to buckle your
seat-belts for this ride.

Are you guys ready to be scared?

- Oh yeah!

- Let's do this thing!

- (laughs) Whoa, okay.

Chapter one.

Nancy Patanski was cursed and she knew it.

In fact, Nancy was beginning to think

that if she didn't have bad luck,

she wouldn't have any luck at all.

She was supposed to be at the mall

having fun with her friends,

but instead, Nancy was
about to spend her Saturday

trapped like a rat in
a killer clowns house.

Her only saving grace was
that her friend Kyra David

agreed to skip the mall and
spend the night with her.

For a fee.

- I can't believe we're
actually gonna babysit

in the killer clowns house.

- Tell me about it,

I can't believe my mother
actually did this to me.

- Are you nervous?

- About what?

Babysitting for people I don't know?

- No, about being in
the killer clowns house.

- It's not like the guys
living in there any more,

he's been dead for years.

- I know, but it's still creepy.

- It's just a house

- Yeah, a killers house!

That only crazy people
would want to live in.

(Nancy sighs)

- My mom says the family

that lives there now is really nice.

- Like that makes a difference,
they could still be crazy.

- True.

- So how much are they paying us?

- A lot. After all, we're
probably risking our lives

babysitting in that house.

(Kyra inhales)

(laughs) Oh man, you
really are a basket-case.

I'm just messing with you, really.

We're getting 50 bucks.

- Well, that works!

I probably would risk my life for that.

(intense music)

13 13? For real?

- Yup, must be my lucky number.

- Well, at least it doesn't look scary.

- Well, not from the outside anyway.

(laughs) You're so easy.

(doorbell chimes)

- Mrs Kendall?

- You must be Nancy.

- I hope you don't mind my friend Kyra

came alone with me today.

- Oh not at all, your
mom said you might be

bringing a friend, I'm
just so glad you girls

could do this for me on such short notice.

Your mom is a lifesaver, come on in.

(door closes)

So I'm thinking that it should

be a fairly easy night for you girls,

Danny's a really good
kid, totally laid back,

pretty much self-sufficient.

So let me introduce you to him first

and then I'll show you
the rest of the house.

Danny, say hello to Nancy and Kyra.

(video game zaps)

(sighs) This is what
you can expect from him

for the rest of the night.

You couldn't pry him away from that game

even if you wanted to.

It's a new one and he's totally addicted.

Danny! Say hello to Nancy and Kyra,

they're gonna be hanging
out with you tonight.

- Hey

- [Both] Hey.

- Okay, I expect you to be
nice to these girls, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Come on, let's go look at the
important rooms in the house,

like the kitchen and TV room.

There's some salad and pizza
in the fridge for later,

and if you wouldn't mind
putting some wet food down

for Winky our cat, I'd appreciate it.

She tends to be skittish around people,

so chances are you won't see much of her.

- No problem.

- Oh, and we're huge movie fans,

so there's a ton of DVDs that
you can watch if you want.

- Great.

(TV playing tense music)

- I can't believe you're making me watch

a Deadtime story in this house.

- It's not like the house is haunted,

so could you please just shut up!

I've been through this already.

- I'm telling you, we saw this one on TV.

- No, we didn't.

This is the movie version, it
has a lot more stuff in it.

Just chill out.

- [TV] Mama, mama!

- You know what's even
creepier than talking dolls?

- What?

- Killer clowns.

(Nancy sighs)

(cell phone buzzes loudly)

Oh!

Well that was freaky.

Who is it?

- I don't know

(tense beat)

(both gasp)

(clown laughs)

(spooky electronic music)

♪ Here me scream ♪

♪ If you're not going to to make it ♪

♪ It's not a dream ♪

♪ Don't you see? ♪

♪ This is your nightmare now ♪

(menacing laugh)

- [Giggles] Get out of my house!

(Kyra screams)

- Call the cops, we've got
to get out of this house!

- Wait.

(Jacob laughs)

- Stop freaking out, it's only Jacob.

You're such a jerk.

- Gotcha good.

- No, you got her good.

- So you gonna let me in or what?

- Where are you?

- [Jacob] Outside.

(crickets chirp)

(wolf howls in distance)

- Ugh, he's such a jerk.

He's probably at the mall
laughing his butt off.

(Kyra screams)

(laughs)

(bangs on window)
- Hey, let me in!

- You can't stay, I'll get in trouble.

- I don' intend to.

I just had to see the inside
of this place for myself.

- You almost gave me a
heart attack you jerk!

- No, Henry Howard Froam
almost gave you a heart attack.

- I thought the killer clowns name was

Giggles the Perfect Clown?

- It was, but his real name
was Henry Howard Froam.

- I can't believe how nice this place is.

I thought it as gonna
be all creepy and stuff.

- [Nancy] Sorry you're
dissapointed, now go!

- I guess it makes sense though,

the guy was like an accountant
or something during the day

which is why it took forever
for the cops to catch him.

- I thought he was a circus clown.

- No, not a real one.

He only dressed up like
one to go to the fairs

and carnivals and stuff
to find his victims.

And when he wasn't
pretending to be Giggles,

he was just a regular guy
with a lot of dark secrets.

Maybe some of them are hidden in...

here!

(Kyra screams)
(Nancy gasps)

- What do you think you're doing?

- I'm just looking,

who knows what we might
find in this house.

- Are you nuts, this isn't your house

and it isn't the killer
clowns house anymore either,

it's the Kendall's house
and I'm in charge of it!

- Come on Nancy, stop
being such a bed bug,

I'm not gonna mess anything up!

- No, you're not, 'cause you're leaving.

The house tour is over.

- Don't you want to see if you can find

where Henry Howard Froam hid
his Giggles the Clown stuff?

The cops never found it all, you know.

- Is that true?

- I doubt it.

- It is true,

and I bet it's still
hidden in here somewhere.

What if we could find just one thing

that belongs to Giggles the Killer Clown?

We'd be rich!

Crazy people buy that stuff
on the internet all the time.

- Nice try, but forget it.

Door or window?

Bye bye

(door slams)

- But Jacob didn't go,

instead he went around
the side of the house

to check out the rest of the property

while he still had a chance.

And that's when he spotted the
outside door to the garage,

the garage where Henry Howard
Froam dressed up like Giggles.

- Uh oh, not good.

- (laughs) I'm thinking you're right.

- So Jacob was telling the truth?

- About what?

- About the cops not finding
all the Giggles stuff?

- I have a feeling
we're about to find out.

- Then let's get on with it already!

- Okay, here we go!

Getting into the garage
was easy for Jacob,

not only was the door
unlocked, but it was left ajar.

(door creaks)

As if someone or something
was inviting him in.

(tense music)

(flicks light switch)

Jacob exhausted himself
searching for evidence

of Giggles to no avail.

Not only did he check
every box, bag and basket,

he examined the floor for any evidence

of a secret compartment.

He even checked out the rafters.

But there was nothing for Jacob to see.

Well, not yet anyway.

- If I were a killer clown,
where would I hide the stuff?

(cat shrieks)

(items crashing)

(tense music intensifies)

- Jacob could feel the tips of his fingers

touching something soft, like hair.

Human hair, his brain thought.

- Oh man, I bet I know what's back there.

- What?

- Some scalp.

- Ew, gross!

- Okay guys, come on,

I don't think Giggles is scalping people.

- You're such a dorfus,

maybe if the stories about
Giggles the Killer Cowboy

there might be a scalp back there.

- Should we find out
what's really back there?

- Please.

- (laughs) Jacobs heart started to pound,

as he pulled the head of
hair from the furnace.

- Holy smokes!

- [Babysitter] It was then that
Jacob realized that he found

exactly what he was looking for.

- I found the killer clown mother-lode.

- [TV] Mama!

(cell phone beeps)

(cell phone rings)

- Who is it?

- Hey let me in!

- Are you kidding me?

- Hurry up, you're not gonna believe

what I found in the garage.

- You really expect me to believe that

Giggles the Perfect Killer Clown

walked around wearing these?

(teeth chatter)

(hand slams)

Seriously?

- I'm telling you, this is
Henry Howard Froam's stuff!

- No, this is Jacob Michael Marx's stuff.

50 bucks says he ran home and got it.

- Look at this picture!

That wig is the same exact
wig that Giggles is wearing.

- Give me a break.

Do you know how many clowns
wear wigs that look like that?

Like, all of them.

- Not true.

Look, this wig is the same exact wig

that Giggles is wearing.

- It really does look like Giggles wig.

- I don't know,

it's kind of hard to
tell without the makeup.

- Cut me a break.

You want makeup? I'll give you makeup.

Where's the bathroom in this place?

- You're really gonna put the makeup on?

- If it will shut her up, yeah.

- Why don't you just put
the whole outfit on too?

- You know what? I will.

- Go for it, the bathroom's that way.

What a dorfus.

- With every stroke of the brush,

Jacob was transforming into Giggles.

(tense music)

But it wasn't only Jacobs
appearance that was changing,

his thoughts were changing as well.

As if just being dressed as Giggles

was somehow bringing the
killer clowns spirit to life.

And in fact, Jacob was beginning to think

that he really was Henry Howard Froam.

- It's good to be home.

(menacing electronic music)

- What the heck is the matter with you?

- Whoa, you really do look
like the killer clown.

- Believe me now?

- I gotta hand it to you,

I thought you were gonna
paint yourself like an idiot,

but you look pretty good.

Where the heck did you learn
how to do clown makeup?

- Right here, in my own backyard.

- Very funny.

- Not.

You've got to take that stuff
off, it's freaking me out,

even if it's not Giggles stuff.

Plus, that makeups gonna give you zits.

(swoosh)

Ouch, geez, keep the wig on
if it's that important to you.

- It is important to me

and this is Giggles stuff.

Nancy knows it too, don't you Nancy?

- I don't know whose stuff it is any more

and I don't care.

Showtimes over, you need to
gather up all your clown stuff

and get out of here.

I'm only supposed to have
one friend over, not two.

- Oh c'mon, showtime
hasn't even started yet

Check it out.

(melodic circus music)

Pick a card, any card.

Don't show it to me.

Just put it back into the deck.

Now, pick out your card and hand it to me.

- It's not in here.

- Are you sure?

Look again.

But you need to hurry, because
you're running out of time.

- Why am I running out of time?

- Because you, my friend,
pulled the ace of spades

and everybody knows that's the death card.

- Okay, enough with the
killer clown routine.

Great trick, but you, my
friend, are no longer amusing.

(microwave beeps)

See, your time is up.

- Actually, I'm just getting started.

(whooshing noise)

(circus music becomes tense)

Here, catch.

They're noses you know.

One for both of you, just like mine.

- Great, just what I always wanted.

Time to say goodnight, Bozo,

because you're getting
on my very last nerve.

- Hey, when'd you make pizza?

- Just now?

- Can I have some?

- No, you've got to gather up your stuff

and get out of here.

(happy melodic music)

(tense spooky music)

The bathroom's that way.

- I know, this is the way I always go.

- Then go fast.

(menacing circus music)

(playing upbeat circus piano tune)

- What the heck's the matter with him?

- I don't know, but minute
he put the clown stuff on,

he started acting all kinds of messed up.

- For real.

- And I have to tell you,

that last trick really freaked me out.

- Why?

- Because one of the creepiest things

that Giggles the Killer Clown used to do,

was leave clown noses
on all of his victims.

- No way!

So what are you thinking?

- I don't know, I mean,

we've both known Jacob
for such a long time

and we both know he can be a jerk.

But have you ever seen him juggle?

- I have never seen him
do a card trick either.

- Or play piano.

- So now what?

- I don't know.

Come on.

(video game shoots lazers)

- Danny.

Danny!

Danny, I brought you a slice
of pizza and some salad.

- Great, thanks.

- Any chance I could use
your tablet for a minute.

(mumbles negatively)

Thanks.

Come on, let's go outside.

While items of jewelry serve

as the most direct conduit of energy,

any item belonging to
the deceased will do.

- What's a conduit?

- It's like a channel or pipeline.

- Oh.

- Therefore, for an evil spirit

to gain entry into a human soul

requires far less than most
people could ever imagine.

You've got to be kidding me.

- What does that mean?

- It means Jacob really is wearing

Henry Howard Froam's stuff

and Giggles the Killer Clown,
is taking over his soul.

- Huh?

- Girls, where are you?

(menacing circus music)

I have a couple of knife
tricks I wanna show you.

Girls!

Where are you?

(loud footsteps)

(music intensifies)

- Uh oh, guess who isn't leaving?

(breathing heavily)

- We have to get him out of
Henry Howard Froam's stuff.

- How?

- Just get him outside, then
we can figure something out.

- Are you crazy?

- If you don't do something,

we're both gonna be wearing
a couple of clown noses.

(Kyra gasps)

- [Jacob] Girls!

- Just go by the door
and call him out here.

Then we can figure something out.

Just make sure you get him by the pool.

- Why?

- Just do it.

I promise I won't let
anything happen to you.

Go.

- Girls, come out, come
out where ever you are.

- Hey, Jacob!

We're out here!

(intense music)

Here he comes!

- Looks like you're first.

Say hello to Giggles.

(loud impact)

(Jacob yells)

(water splashing)

(bubbling sound)

- (gasps) Hey, what do you
guys think you're doing?

- Saving you.

- From what?

- Giggles.

- So Jacob doesn't know
what happened to him?

- Just let her finish the chapter, dude!

- (laughs) That's probably a good idea.

Jacob had no idea that he had actually

transformed into Henry Howard Froam.

But once the girls
explained what had happened,

Jacob wanted nothing to do
with Giggles the Killer Clown.

In fact, it was Jacob who insisted

that they throw everything
that belonged to Giggles

into the garbage, so the
spirit of Henry Howard Froam

couldn't inhabit anyone ever again.

- Smart move.

- Not really.

- [Little Girl] Why not?

- Because the story isn't over yet.

Are you guys ready to
hear what happens next?

By the time Mrs Kendall got home,

there was no evidence
that Jacob or Giggles

had been roaming around their house.

Jacob was on his way home

and Giggles remains were buried

at the bottom of the
Kendall's garbage bag.

Which Nancy was planning
to take out to the trash

before she and Kyra went home.

- I really can't thank you girls enough.

- [Nancy] No problem.

- I have $50 for you plus a $10 tip

for coming out last minute
on a Saturday night.

- Thanks, that's really nice of you.

- Are you sure you don't want
me to give you a ride home?

- No, its fine.

We're only a few blocks away
and my mom knows we're coming.

- Okay, did you want to say goodbye

to Danny before you leave?

- [Both] Sure.

- Oh shoot, I forgot to throw

Danny's dirty plate in the garbage.

I'm really sorry, it's
probably still in his room,

I'll go get it now though,

'cause we meant to take the
garbage out for you too.

- Oh wow, what service.

Danny?

Any idea where he is?

(toilet flushing)

- [Nancy and Kyra] Bathroom.

(door creaks open)

- Hey mom, look what I
found in the garbage.

(intense music)

(Danny laughs menacingly)

(Nancy and Kyra scream)

(children scream)

(spooky music)
