[ children giggling ]

[ ominous music plays ]

[ door creaks ]

boo!

Oh! [ chuckles ]

you scared me.

Boo!

[ sighs ]

I got you
this time.

Okay, now,
you guys are good,



but are you ready
for me to scare you?

Yeah.
Okay.

Did you bring us
another Deadtime Story?

Of course I did.

It's called
"Along Came a Spider."

I hate spiders.

She's afraid of them.

What about you?

Nah. I'm not afraid
of spiders.

Well, that's because
you haven't met thone.

What's so scary
about him?

You want to find out?

[ chuckles ] okay.

Chapter 1.



"Mikey Davis froze

"as a thousand hairy legs
crept across the carpet.

'oh, man!' Mikey thought."

"we're all alone in my room.

"how did this thing get in here?

"this creepy creature
was slithering up

"my best friend, Max,
ready to attack.

"before Mikey
could make a sound,

this hairy-looking creature
did just that."

[ video game beeping ]

uh, Max?

Shh.

[ beeping continues ]

Max.

Ugh! Look what
you made me do!

What's the matter
with you?

Nothing's wrong
with me,

but you've got
a thousand-legger

crawling
across your shoulder.

[ whooshes ]

how much do you want to bet
that was headed for your ear?

Aw, man.
That's just gross.

No,
that's just gross.

Don't you ever clean
your ear?

You've got, like, a potato farm
growing in there.

Shut up. at least
I don't have bugs in my room.

I didn't have any bugs,
either,

until you opened
your suitcase.

It's your bug.
Now get rid of him.

No way!
I'm not touching that thing!

You get rid of him!

Make Cosmo
get the bug!

Cosmo?
Are you kidding?

Cosmo's never gonna
get that bug.

He's a dog, not a cat.

I bet
I can get him to eat it.

[ whimpers ]

I told you.

Just stomp on it.

I don't want to touch it!
You get it!

No way!

Great. now we've got to
go find it.

[ gasps ]

[ blows ]

what are you doing?

Blowing on it.

I read somewhere
that if you blow on bugs,

they stay still.

It scares them
or something.

Whoa. too cool.

[ blowing ]

I'll blow. you smash.

[ blowing ]

eww!

Now you've got bug guts
on the box!

Hey! You didn't tell me
you had a dissecting kit.

I forgot I had it.

Must have gotten it
as a gift or something.

Check this out!

Get that thing
away from me.

This kit is cool.

Let's cut some stuff up.

What about skating?

I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind
taking us to the ice rink.

And besides,
she ought to be home soon.

Not if your sister shops
the way mine does.

They'll be gone
for hours.

You're right.
Let's cut some stuff up.

[ muffled ]
let's do him first.

Ribbit!

Seriously?

You realare gross.

Maybe we should
read the instructions

on how we're supposed to
do this first.

Nah. I just say
we start cutting away.

[ thud ]

you're disgusting.

How can you eat
while you're dissecting?

Ooh.

Who knew
frogs had so many guts?

What do you think these two
blue blobby things are?

Oh, man. I hope you never
decide to be a doctor.

Why not?
This is kind of cool.

I wouldn't mind finding out
what's inside of people.

I'm pretty sure
the people would mind.

What are you doing?

You've got a garbage disposal
in your sink, right?

Yeah. why?

I'm gonna get rid
of the guts.

Just...
Don't tell my mother

you put frog guts
down the drain.

She'll freak.

[ garbage disposal grinding ]

[ grinding stops ]

and...don't tell her that,
either.

Okay. who's next?

Let's do him next.

You want to know
what kind of spider it is first?

Not really.

It's called
an arachnia-something-or-other,

and it comes
from south america.

He looks pretty cool.

Listen to this.

"a cross
between the giant tarantula

"and the venomous
black widow,

this spider is far more deadly
than either variety."

Maybe...we shouldn't touch
that thing if it's poisonous.

They wouldn't have put it
in the kit if it was dangerous.

Besides, it's dead.

Then how come you're not
using your fingers this time?

This is
one freaky-looking spider.

[ both gasp ]

[ eerie music plays ]

♪ When you hear the scream ♪

Aah!

♪ Hide under the blanket ♪

♪ Don't come out ♪

♪ It's not a dream ♪

♪ Don't you sleep ♪

♪ This is your nightmare now ♪

Aah!

holy smokes!
That spider's alive!

How is that even possible?
He's supposed to be dead!

Quick!
Get him back in the jar!

You get him
back in the jar.

I'm not touching
a killer spider.

You're the one
who let him out!

Blow on him!

Maybe he'll freeze,
like the millipede.

Then I can smash him.

[ blowing ]

got him!

How come
he didn't smush?!

Where'd he go?

There's no way

I'm letting a poisonous spider
run around my house.

I think I might be
afraid of spiders now.

[ chuckles ] me too.

You don't think
there's poisonous spiders

running around our house,
do you?

I hope not.

I don't think you guys
have anything to worry about.

Poisonous spiders are
pretty rare, and I don't think

you have any running around
your neighborhood.

I know one thing,
though.

What's that?

I'm getting rid
of the dissecting kit

my uncle got me
for my birthday.

Why? Does it have spiders
in it?

No, but it has a bunch
of other creepy-crawlers,

and I don't want
to take any chances.

[ chuckles ]

your dissecting kit
is just fine.

It's just a story,
remember?

You know,used to have
a dissecting kit

when I was a kid.

I learned a lot
from it.

You and I should
do it together sometime.

All right, so, should we see
what happens to the spider?

Both: yeah!

Okay.

"Mikey and Max
searched the kitchen nervously,

"but the spider
was nowhere to be seen.

"they were about to give up,

when a horrifying sound
cut through the air."

[ Cosmo yelps ]

Cosmo!
Cosmo!

[ growling ]

[ barking ]

look!

[ barking ]

[ growling ]

what is with
this spider?

I told you not to let it
out of the jar.

Get it, boy.

Yeah, sic 'im!

[ Cosmo whimpers ]

[ barking ]

[ growling ]

it looks like the spider
wants to get Cosmo.

[ hisses ]

[ yelping ]

now what do we do?

Hey,
I got a good idea.

Start blowing on it.
I'm coming.

[ blowing ]

okay? Ready?

One...two...three.

Come on!
Hurry up, will ya?

I'm trying. I just don't want
to drop this thing.

You take off the board,
we'll dump in, and I'll flush.

Okay.
Just flush fast.

Ready?

One...two...three.
Go!

[ toilet flushes ]

yes!
Yes!

[ water swishing ]

[ grunts ]

what's happening?!

Close the lid!

Don't tell me we can't even
get rid of this thing

by flushing it.

Don't do that!
It'll only flood more!

You think he's gone?

Let's get out of here.

We can't.

I won't feel safe unless I know
this spider's history.

Besides, we have to clean up
all this water,

or my mother
will go ballistic.

Oh, man.

I'm glad that's over.

That makes two of us.

Grab a towel.
Let's clean this stuff up.

It's not over yet,
is it?

Not with
all these pages left.

Does the spider
come out of the toilet

and bite them
on the butt?

[ laughs ]

now, that would be bad.

Should we find out?

"by the end of the day,

"as Mikey and Max
got ready for bed,

they had completely forgotten
about the spider."

[ knock on door ]

[ muffled ]
who is it?

It's me.
Let me in.

I'm about to
take a bath.

I need
to brush my teeth.

Can't you wait?

I guess.

Why don't you take a shower,
like I did?

It's quicker.

I like baths.

Well, hurry up.
I'm bored.

So what else is new?

Aah!

Max! Max!

What?!
What's the matter with you?!

The spider we flushed down
the toilet -- it's not dead.

It must have been crawling
through the pipes or something,

'cause now
it's in my bathtub!

Hey, guys! Guys!
What's all the screaming about?

What's going on
up here?

There's a killer spider
in my bathtub, dad.

All right.
Hold on, hold on, all right?

I'm on the phone.
All right?

Hey, ray, I'm dealing
with something here at home.

Can you just talk
to a structural engineer

about the column spacing,
please, okay?

I'll call you back
in a couple of minutes.

[ sighs ]

you're freaking out
over a spider?

Not just a spider,
dad.

A killer spider
in our bathtub!

All right.
I got to see this one.

All right, guys,
where is this killer spider?

It was in the tub
a minute ago, dad. I swear.

I don't see anything.

But, dad,
I still need to take my bath,

and if that spider's
gonna --

no, no, look, you're gonna
take your bath tomorrow, okay?

You got to get your butts
into bed now,

otherwise, you're gonna be
dealing with a killer mom.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Leaving.

And where do you think
you're gonna go?

Your parents are away.

Well,
I'm not staying here.

What if that spider
comes to get us

in the middle
of the night?

Don't go.

We'll find a way
to protect ourselves.

[ dog barking in distance ]

this was a good idea.

Yeah. I'm glad you had
this double-sided tape.

Now if that spider tries
to get on the bed,

it'll get stuck.

Now hopefully
we can sleep.

I hope so.

Spider!

Hey, hey, hey! Guys! Guys!
What's going on now?

It's back.

The spider?

Yeah!
It's on our ceiling!

It better be.

[ sighs ]

all right, guys.

Enough with this spider
already, okay?

Otherwise, there's gonna be
nothing but chores

in your future.

You got me?

Get to bed.

[ dog barking ]

I got to get some sleep,
or I'm gonna die.

Me too.

I can't believe your mom
threw us out of the house

for dumping out the flowers
and waking them up.

I know.

But she'll be gone
for a couple hours.

My sister has
karate lessons.

Want to go
back inside?

No.
I'm too tired to move.

Let's just sleep
out here.

[ dog barking ]

ugh. Cosmo.

[ Cosmo whimpering ]

[ garage door whirring ]

[ Cosmo barks ]

Cosmo?

Come here, boy.

That's definitely
Cosmo.

Yeah.
But...where is he?

[ Cosmo whimpering ]

what the heck?!

I think
we found Cosmo.

[ Cosmo barks ]

we have to
get him down.

No way. I'm not staying
in this garage.

We can't just
leave him there.

You-know-who might come back
and eat him.

Do you see
the size of that thing?

You-know-who might come back
and eat us.

Let's just
get out of here.

Not without Cosmo.

Yeah, but if we leave him
up there,

we'll be able
to prove to your parents

that we really do have
a spider problem.

You're right.

But by the time
anyone gets back,

he could be...
You know.

Well,
hurry up, then.

[ whimpering ]

stand underneath him

so when I make the last cut,
you can catch him.

Okay.

Ready.

Here we go.

[ yelps ]

[ whimpering ]

nice catch.

You, my friend,
are one lucky dog.

[ whimpering ]

come on, Cosmo!
Hold still!

We're trying
to help you.

[ laughing ]
hey, buddy.

Missed you.

Your mom's gonna freak
when she sees this dog.

Yeah,
tell me about it,

especially since he just went
to the groomer last week.

You think
we should give him a bath?

[ yelping ]

great. now we'll never
catch him.

You can't even spell "bath"
before he bolts.

We ought to at least try
to clean the driveway up

so we don't get in trouble
for that, too.

Yeah.

I think
that's good enough.

Let's just hang up the hose
and call it quits.

I'm beat.

Me too.

[ growls ]

what the heck?!

[ snarls ]

uh-oh!

That freaky arachnid
is growing!

How can that be?!
I don't know!

Let's just
get out of here! Go!

[ snarling ]

where'd it go?

I don't know.

Quick! Hit the button!

[ whirring ]

hurry up already,
you stupid door!

Not for real!

Holy smokes!

How big is
that thing?!

It's as big as us!

Quick!
Hit the button!

Oh, we're gonna end up
like Cosmo!

Come on!

Come on!
Come on already!

Maybe it'll crush him!

Ohh!

Now what?!

Unless you want to run past it,
I think we're trapped.

We're gonna
have to fight it!

How?!

[ snarls ]

uh...blow on it!

Seriously?!

There's no way
I can keep that spider still!

No.
But maythis can.

[ snarls ]

you hold it still

while I try to chop off its legs
with the hedge clippers.

Ready?

[ leaf blower whirring ]

take that, you arachnid!

It's working!

Get him, Max!

[ snarling ]

don't let go of the blower!
It's the only weapon we have!

You got to give me a minute
to figure something out!

I don't think we have
many minutes left, Max!

Keep blowing on him, Mikey!
I think it's gonna pop!

Aaaaaaaaaah!

[ grunts ]

come on!

[ pop ]

yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!

It's gone!
Yes!

Please tell me
that's the end of the spider.

Well, you know
it's not the end of the story.

Okay, smart guy,
how do you think the story ends?

I think
when the spider blows up,

lots of commando baby spiders
parachute out of the sky.

Now,
that would be an ending.

Is that what happens?

Let's find out.

"Mikey and Max stared at the sky
for what seemed like an eternity

"before they turned
their attention back to earth

"and celebrated their victory

"with a couple bowls
of ice cream.

"there was no sign of the spider
anywhere,

"and everything
was back to normal.

Well, almoeverything."

Man.
That was so good.

Want some more?

Nah. let's just get some chips
and go shoot some hoops.

Good idea.

[ water running ]

[ water gurgles ]

what was that?

You don't think
there's any way

that spider landed somewhere
and came back, do you?

I hope not.

[ gurgling ]

whatever it is,
it isn't right.

[ gurgling ]

[ gurgling continues ]

[ both scream ]

[ frog croaks ]
[ both scream ]
