[♪ ♪]

I think we got all
the Halloween snacks

Ivy asked for.
Apple mouths...

(Parrot-like)
Apple mouths!

Ghost pretzels...

Ghost pretzels!

Neil, you don't have to repeat
everything I say.

(Normal voice) How will
people know I'm a parrot?

Ivy was oddly specific
about the food.

Oh, she just doesn't
want anything interrupting

her deadly dolls
movie marathon.



She wants us fed, but not full.
Hungry, but not needing to pee.

Oh, which reminds me,

(Whispers) I better
hit the little bird's room.

Alright, well,
I'm off to the chill grill

for the costume contest.
Can you open the door, please?

Oh, and I don't
want Alice watching

any of those
horror movies, okay?

That girl is scary
enough as it is.

Got it. Good luck, mom.

Thanks, but I don't need luck.

I need you to open the door.

- Thank you. Bye.
- You're welcome.

Uh, did you eat
all the apple mouths?

I didn't eat anything.



Well those mouths
didn't eat themselves.

(Gasps) Or did they?

(Bang)

What was that?

It better not be a ghost.

Neil, there are no
such thing as ghosts.

Yeah?
Well, until I met you,

there was no such thing
as psychics.

Man, it better not be a ghost!

(Groans)
Polly doesn't like this.

Polly doesn't like this!

Alice!

Did you steal our snacks?

It wasn't me!

It was Tasha!

- You really expect us to believe that?
- Yeah.

Do we look stupid to you?

Don't answer that.

(knocking on door)

Hey, guys.

Oh, looks great in here.

How'd you know how to plan
such an awesome movie marathon?

You sent me, like, 100 texts.

Yeah, 101, actually.

Clearly, you didn't read
the last one

about no ironic t-shirts,
but I'll let it slide.

I don't wanna
"ruffle any feathers,"

but according to your schedule,

it's almost time
to start marathoning.

I'm excited. I've never seen
any of the deadly dolls movies.

- This is your first time?
- Mm-hmm.

Lucky. I wish I could be you.

Wow, I never thought
I'd say that.

What's so scary
about these movies, anyway?

Aren't they just about dolls?

Just about dolls?

They're about dolls that come to
life and terrorize a small town.

What's better than that?

Videos of cats that
look like their owners.

Wait, my cat's older than me.

Does that mean
I look like him?

Yeah, well, suck it up. We have
seven movies to get through,

so last call on snacks, drinks,
and bathroom breaks. Got it?

You know, for a fun
movie marathon,

this is a little intense.

Shh...

Let's get this party started.

(Tense movie music)

Hey...

N-now I see why mom hid all of
Nia's dolls after watching this.

- (Woman screams on TV)
- Gasps)

Dolls are not evil.
Dolls are not evil.

Dolls are not evil...

- (Alice: What you watching?
- Screaming)

(laughing)

- (Crunching, dripping on TV)
- Whoa.

That doll just
decapitated that mailman.

With her tiny purse...

(laughs) That's awesome!

(Shuts off TV)

Booker! Did you not
read the rules?

There's a no-pause clause.

I know, but somebody's watching,

and that somebody is
too young for these movies.

(Booker scoffs)..

That somebody has a name.

And it's Neil.

Not you.
I'm talking about Alice.

I'm not too young.
I want to watch!

Why don't you just
go upstairs and play?

Alright, I'm gonna take you
trick-or-treating later.

But, auntie rae says
you have to watch me, and...

No. She says I have to stay
home while you're home.

So, you be home...

In another room.

Fine.

What's that, Tasha?

You're right.

They do have to go
to bed sometime.

But dolls,

they never sleep.

(Evil laugh)

(Slightly louder laugh)

(laughing loudly)

Alice, give it up!
Nobody is scared of you!

(Nervous laugh)
Booker,

that nobody has a name.

And once again, it is Neil.

[♪ ♪]

(quiet chatter)

The candy is corned,
the popcorn is balled,

and the Jack-o's are lanterned.
We are ready to host

the south bay diners
association costume contest!

And we are going to win, dad.

I made the perfect costume.

Took blood, sweat, and more
tears than when I found out

I was having twins.

Hello, Victor.

And Robyn.

It's Raven.

Mm, that's not a name.

Leonard Stevenson, my old rival.

How are things over
at the hill grill?

Busier than ever.

Then why are you here?

Because, unlike you...

Ooh... I have
a competent staff.

I just wanted to come by

before I win again tonight.

(Thought I'd give you
a whiff of victory. Sniffs)

Mm! Do you smell it? I do.

(Uh, all I smell is desperation,
and... sniffs)

I think that's a hint
of hot dog water?

- (Sniffing)
- Make your little jokes,

but I'll be the one laughing
when I win tonight.

And this year,
the news will be here.

I'm going to humiliate you,
on TV,

in your own restaurant!

The only person getting
humiliated tonight

is going to be you.
So, mm-bye-bye!

May the best chef win.

(Laughs)

Who am I kidding?
We both know it's me!

See you, Victor!

Rabbit.

You know my name is Robyn!
I mean Raven!

Ah, snap!
Now, he's got me doing it.

Man, I can't stand that guy.

He's made it his mission
to embarrass me

ever since culinary school!

Dad, relax.
As long as we have my costume,

we got this in the bag.

(Whooshing)

(Echoing) So, I snuck right
in and stole this costume...

(whooshing)

(Gasps) Leonard didn't
come here to gloat!

- He came here to steal my costume!
- What?

That's crazy!
Leonard is a lot of things.

He's a jerk, a meanie,
a big old doody-head,

but he's not a thief!

I knew it! It's missing!

Ooh, that no-good cheater
must have distracted us

while somebody else took it!

Raven, it's got to be here.

Look, don't do something crazy.
You are better than that.

Now, dad, you've been
my daddy for all my life.

You know I'm not.

[♪ ♪]

What's that, Tasha?

We should go into Booker's room
and play with all his stuff?

Okay!

Ooh. Maybe there's
something cool in here.

Nope.

Oh, Booker.

A magic spell book?

Whoa! A spell that brings
dolls to life?

Of course, we're gonna
try it, Tasha!

But if this goes bad,
it was your idea.

[♪ ♪]

(bubbling)

And for the final ingredient...

Ah!
Relax. It'll grow back!

If this works.

Bubble and boil, oh magic stew.

Bring my doll to life anew!

Huh. I can't believe a magic
spell book I found

in an old trunk I've never
seen before didn't work.

(Poof, hissing, bubbling)

(Coughing)

(Ooh! Gasps)

(Bubbling continues)

Tasha?

Is that really you?

In the flesh, boo!

[♪ ♪]

[♪ ♪]

I can't believe
you're actually real!

Check it out!

I can move my arms and my legs!

(Burps)

I just burped!

I've been waiting
years to do that.

So, now that you're here,
what do you want to do?

I wanna go trick-or-treating!

I wish, but I have
to wait for Booker.

My auntie rae says
I can't go alone.

You won't be alone
if we go together.

Now, that it is
what I call a loophole!

[♪ ♪]

Our costume's got to be
in here somewhere.

- How are those desserts coming along?
- Uh-oh.

Okay...

I wanna close early so I can
get to the costume contest.

- (Rattling)
- Oh.

I can't wait to humiliate Victor
Baxter and his daughter, Raven.

Hey, I say her name wrong
just to mess with her.

- I knew it.
- What was that?

Ah, Jamal.
Grab my blowtorch.

I'll brulée it table-side.

This way, I can charge them
an extra eight bucks.

Smart, right?

(Clattering)

Son of a biscuit!

Leonard:
What is that noise?!

We better not
have rats... Again.

(Sighs)
The only rat in this place

is that costume thief Leonard!

(Sighing)

Okay...

[♪ ♪]

(terrified squeaking)

Costume.

(Werewolf costume. Laughs)

It's nothing to worry about.

Leonard: Jamal, you'll
never believe what I did.

I was looking for the perfect
outfit for tonight,

so I snuck right in
and stole this costume.

(Scoffs)

Sneaking into
someone else's restaurant.

Like, who does that?

(Phone ringing)

- (Whispers) Hey, dad.
- Why are you whispering?

No reason.

Raven...

What you want?

I found your costume.
Somebody must have moved it.

Wait, are you sure?

I'm looking at it right now!

Aren't you glad you didn't
do anything drastic

like go down to the hill grill?

Yep.

That definitely would
have been the wrong move.

Well, thanks for calling. Bye.

Leonard:
We got a spill at table six.

Anybody seen the mop?

That's not good.

I know the mop
is in the storage closet.

I was just testing to
see if you knew, okay?

Well, well, well.
Who do we have here?

My favorite employee, Alfonso,

and his fantastic
werewolf costume!

(Thanks for the mop, buddy!
Laughs)

Oh, hey, Alfonso, can you take
care of that mess at table six?

Wait. Alfonso?

Then, who was that Alfonso?

(Scoffs)

Oh, stupid stuck mask

with a stupid stuck zipper!

(Phone rings)

- (Wolf-like growl)
- Phone rings)

- Hello?
- Victor: Raven, where are you?

I'm freaking out!
The contest is starting soon.

Raven: Okay, listen,

I got a small problem.

I'm kind of stuck
in a hairy situation.

If you were here right now,
you'd laugh at that.

But don't worry, okay?
I'll be there in time.

Well, hurry up.
I can't lose to Leonard.

I got you, dad!
Leonard is going down!

Oh. Can I get some scissors?!

(Anybody?! grunts)

What about some sharp teeth?
Goodness gracious!

(Dog barking, growling)

Why did I say "sharp teeth"?

- (Barking)
- Raven screaming)

[♪ ♪]

I'm so glad you talked me
into going trick-or-treating.

I'm not sure I get candy.

(Tastes a little more...
smacks lips)

Papery than I thought.

Ew.

That's because
you're eating the wrapper.

Mm. Still tastes
better than raisins.

Oh. I know what
we should do next.

We should prank
your cousin, Booker.

I'm having fun
hanging out with you,

so we don't need
to prank Booker.

Yes, we do!
He tried to ruin your Halloween.

We have to get back at him.

Well, I guess we could...

Fill a pumpkin with worms?

And then force him to eat them.

I was thinking maybe we just
trick him into opening it.

Works for me.

I bet Booker's even cuter
when he's scared.

Ew! Gross!

What? He's not my cousin!

[♪ ♪]

Booker! There's something
gross in my pumpkin.

Can you come look?

This is going to be good.

Aight, make it quick, Alice.

Ivy's giving pop quizzes
after every movie.

If I fail another one, she says

I have to re-watch them
over the summer.

(Spurt, splattering)

What the heck?

It wasn't me! It was...

- Don't you dare say Tasha did it.
- But it's the truth!

Every time you do something
wrong, you blame it on Tasha.

- She's a doll.
- Not anymore!

I brought her to life,
and now she's real!

Look, she's hiding
under here!

She was just here, I swear!

You're getting too old for this,
Alice. Just go upstairs.

Hey, Booker.

You signed an agreement
to watch these movies.

If you don't get back in here,
I'ma call my lawyer.

[♪ ♪]

Why'd you change the prank?

We were just supposed
to scare Booker.

Yeah, that was kind of lame.

So, I used what I learned
from your smarty-pants school

to make the pumpkin barf on him!

(Laughing)

Now he thinks I did it!

You blame stuff
on me all the time!

But Booker's mad at me for real.

Look, it's been fun,

but it's time for you to go
back to being a doll.

Mm... Hard pass.

I'm going to do what I do best.

- You're just causing trouble.
- That's what I do best!

- (Locks door)
- Struggling)

(Scary movie music)

I know the secret to
surviving any horror movie.

Really?
What is it?

(Dark voice)
Be the killer.

This is ridiculous.
How do they not see the doll?

She's right behind you.

Look behind you.

Turn around!

- (Alice: Guys!
- All scream)

- I need your help!
- Alice, I told you to stay upstairs.

Keep it down!
This is the best part!

You said the last part
was the best part.

There are a lot of best parts.

I'm serious!
I used dark magic,

and I brought Tasha to life!

- (Turns off TV)
- Just like in the deadly dolls movies!

Oh, so you can
pause the movie,

but when I do it,
you flick me in the ear?

- (Yes.
- Flick)

Ow!

She also does that
if you ask questions.

Please!
You have to believe me!

Alice, you can't
bring dolls to life.

Alright, that only
happens in movies.

So, pretend this is a movie!

What would happen if a kid
brought a doll to life?

Well, in deadly dolls 4,
the kid who brought the doll to life

has to get the doll's spirit
to return to doll form

before bedtime. Otherwise,

the kid will become
a doll forever.

Well, that's not good.

(Tasha laughing)

But, look on
the bright side, Alice.

At least you'll be a cute doll.

Tasha?

I see you, Booker.

(Laughing)

[♪ ♪]

[♪ ♪]

What are we going to do?
If something happens to Alice,

- my mom is going to kill me!
- What about me?

I'm the one who's
gonna turn into a doll!

Hey, hey, no one is
turning into a doll, okay?

- We can fix this.
- How are we supposed to do that?

(Sighs) Well, if I remember
the director's cut of

deadly doll 6 correctly,
which I do,

we just have to turn Tasha back
into a doll by scaring her.

Oh, so we're
scaring dolls now?

That's what
I'm squawking about!

[♪ ♪]

No doll can resist
a tea party,

especially Tasha.

So, when she grabs
this brownie...

A skeleton will drop down

and scare her back
into being a doll.

Both:
Smarty-pants school!

- That was so cool!
- Yeah?

No.

Come on. We gotta hide.

(Whispers)

(Alice shushing)

Oh, Tasha!

Can you come here for a sec?

(Cup clinking)

I'm sorry for earlier.

I put together this tea party
to make it up to you.

Oh! A tea party?

You shouldn't have.

(Giggles)
May I suggest the brownies?

(Laughs)

Nice try,

but I know all
your tricks, Alice.

I've been watching you
for years.

And once you turn into a doll,
you can watch me.

Forever.

(Evil laughter)

- We have to find another way to scare her.
- Yeah, and fast.

I can't believe
that didn't work.

(Booker screams)

(laughter)

[♪ ♪]

They're almost ready
to start this contest.

Have you seen Raven?
She said she'd be here in time,

and I don't know
if you noticed or not,

but it's time.

Hello, Victor.

Leonard...
What are you supposed to be?

Oh, me?

(I'm you. Laughs)

I want you to see how
you would look if you won.

But you won't because I will.

Will you knock it off?

Of course, you're a pirate.

It's simple and... Forgettable,

just like your food.

Hey, where's your daughter?
How am I supposed to lose

to her incredible costume
if she's not even here?

Raven is going to be here
any second, and when she does,

her costume is gonna make you
look like a loser!

Well, that shouldn't be hard,
since I look just like you!

(Laughs)
Classic hill grill burn!

(Laughs)
Like you burn all your food?

(Ooh! Classic chill grill burn!
Hiss)

Mm-hm-hmm.

I'd wish you good luck, Victor,
but I don't want to.

I don't need your luck!

What I need is a winning...

Costume.

(Laughs)

Hope this thing stretches.

A lot.

[♪ ♪]

Just gotta hide until 9:00.

And then it's...

What's that, Alice?
You're the doll now?

Quick, we have to find Tasha!
It's almost Alice's bedtime!

Nope! Too scary!

Can someone get me
out of this thing?!

You scared Tasha
back into being a doll!

- Thanks, auntie rae!
- Wait, why are you up?

It's past your bedtime.

No, it's almost past my bedtime.

You know because I'm not a doll.

Huh? Booker,
what's she talking about?

W-W-Why are you dressed
like a werewolf?

Answering a question
with a question.

I've taught you well.

Hello? Oh hey, Nia!

No, girl, I can talk. What's up?

I'm sorry I ruined
your movie marathon.

It's not your fault.
I'm your big cousin.

We should have spent
Halloween together.

You're right.
You really messed up.

I mean, I wouldn't have
conjured dark magic

if you were watching me.

- Wait, it's my fault?
- If you say so.

So where's Tasha?

(Scoffs) I put her in her box.

She needs to think
about what she's done.

Woo! I am so happy to be
out of that costume.

Auntie rae,

aren't you supposed to be
at that costume contest?

Oh no, I'm missing it.
You know, I worked on my costume

for weeks. It's like a...

Skintight light-up butterfly?

Yeah! How'd you know?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Wow. I can't believe
