♪ I can't believe

It's the Ghost
And Molly McGee ♪

♪ I've been cursed
It's the worst ♪

MOLLY:
♪ Now you're stuck with me ♪

♪ We're never gonna be apart ♪



♪ Is there a way
To hit "restart"? ♪

- Nope!
- ♪ We're the Ghost ♪

♪ Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

- That's me.
- Well, let's see.

♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

(whooping)

Yes! Woo-hoo-hoo!

(playing melody)

- (chainsaw whirs)
- Ah!

(laughter)

Wow, they made this just such
a convincing house of horrors.

I'm very proud. Ah!

- Samhain salutations.
- (gasps)

I was going to go
with the traditional "boo,"



but I wanted to honor
Halloween's Celtic origins.

Also, I'm not sure I should've
used a real pumpkin.

It's still kind of gooey
in here.

Ah!

Great job, Libby.
You're an inspiration.

(sighs) This is going to be
an excellent Halloween.

Maybe for you it's going to be
a great Halloween,

but I got to hide
from Oliver Chen

on the best night of the year:
Halloween.

Molly, you know that's like,
my Christmas, okay?

That's like ghost Christmas,

and Oliver Chen
is ruining it for me.

Oh, come on. Stand up straight.
I know you've got the backbone.

(laughs, grunts)

Well, how do you think
I feel, Scratch?

I mean, Ollie and I
are so alike.

How did we both end up dressing
as supreme court justices?

- We did not plan that.
- I thought you were
some kind of a wizard

with a magic hammer.

Look, I couldn't change
Ollie's mind about ghosts,

and there's no way I can be
friends with a ghost hunter.
You're welcome.

So now everything's
awkward and weird.

Then get him and his swoopy hair
out of here

so we can enjoy
this magical holiday together.

Okay, uh, banner hung,
pumpkin primped, eyeballs set.

I, uh, guess we're all done,

so if you want to head home,
I can take it from here.

- It's not a big--
- Whoa, whoa, slow down.

There's one more decoration
I want you to see.

This is guaranteed
to terrify people,

wouldn't you say, Molly?

Because ghosts are terrifying.

Right?

The only thing terrifying
about this ghost

is his startling good looks.
(laughs)

Uh, sorry, this is a house
of horrors, not a haunted house.

It's a subtle
but very important difference.

So no ghosts here.
(laughs nervously)

Oh!

Ghost Chaser Vlog 266:

Molly continues
to associate with the ghost,

even after my subtle
but visually stunning warning.

The House of Horrors
is officially open.

All ticket proceeds go toward
the 3A Club's Calf Fund.

Every dollar helps a child adopt
an adorable baby cow.

CROWD: Aw!

(laughter)

Look at all these kids filled
with the Halloween spirit.

They get to enjoy tonight,
but not me.

Oh, I don't even get
to scare anybody.

Oh, I'm sorry, Scratch.

It's just too dangerous
with Ollie around.

Can we at least
hit the food stands?

Mr. Bates bakes a mean hand pie.

It's a pie that you eat
with your hands.

That is a game changer.

I'll get us some
when I'm on break.

What are we thinking?
Apple? Pumpkin?

You know the correct answer
is both.

The ghost's evil spell
over Molly

seems to be getting stronger.

He must be controlling her
with his evil powers.

I've got to find a way
to save her.

- (applause)
- (camera snaps)

Thanks for the donation.
Have a spooky good time.

NASHUA:
Oh, that wasn't scary at all.

Those eyeballs were clearly
just peeled grapes.

We demand a refund.

Thank you.

- (gasps)
- (all groaning)

MAN 1: Terrible!

(whimpering)

Now I'll never get my baby cow.

- MAN 2: Disappointing!
- Wait! Don't go.

This kid needs a cow.

Oh! How is our House of Horrors
not scary enough?

There are multiple
plastic spiders in there,

and they are very convincing.

Ah! (grunting)

See?

Molly, why don't you let
old Scratchy take care of this?

I'll get those donations flowing
in no time.

We need to up
the creepy-crawly quotient.

Do what you can.

Molly's House of Horrors
is a bust.

We need Plan B.

What were you thinking,
Scratch?

Recruiting all
your ghost buddies

to scare the chocolate jimmies
out of these kids?

Ha-ha, Plan B,
you know me too well.

(gasps) Yes!

Oh, it's gonna be so much fun!

No scare reports.

Just good old-fashioned
Halloween fun.

But we got to keep it
on the down-low

so Ollie doesn't find out.

- (girl shrieks)

Wow, who knew a full bag
of plastic spiders

would have such an impact?

You really upped your game!

Those ghost special effects
were incredible!

Special effects?

Scratch!

Listen up, ghosts and ghouls.

It's time for
our Halloween scare-off.

(all cheering)

- Scratch, what are you doing?
- It's Halloween.

I couldn't turn ghosts away
from a good scare-fest.

That goes against
the very spirit of the holiday.

Besides, look how much fun
everyone's having.

All right, let's keep
this spooky and kooky.

(neck bones crack)

(clears throat)

(all gasp)

(moaning)

(roars)

(all scream)

(groans)

(all cheer)

All right, not bad, not bad.

Now step back so I can
flaunt it and haunt it.

(roars)

- (all cheer)
- (laughs)

Aw, guys.
You're making me blush.

(dance music blaring)

I can't wait any longer.

I've grabbed a few items
that will hopefully break

the ghost's evil spell
on poor Molly.

Oops, almost forgot.

Oh, I mean, they do look like
they're having fun.

And it's not like they're
the Frightmares or anything.

And we are selling
a lot of tickets.

Exactly. So just keep Ollie
out of here,

and everyone gets
what they want.

Molly, I've come
to save you from...

Ghosts?

- Ghosts!
- (roars)

(shrieking)

A whole lot of ghosts! Ahh!

Uh, wow.

Would you look
at these special effects.

(laughs nervously)

(sighs)

I like your Ghost Fighter costume.

Thanks. Happy Halloween.

I want you to be brutally honest

about my latest batch
of root beer.

Unless you don't like it.

Mmm. Crisp bubbles.
Nice fragrance.

- I'm detecting notes
of vanilla...
- (gasps)

- ...and...
- BOTH: Ghosts!

Whoa!
These ecto-detector readings

are off the charts.

It's coming from the school.

This is not a drill.

(belches)

Ahem. Sorry.
Too much root beer.

Let's hunt some ghosts.

(grunts) I can't pretend there's
an innocent reason anymore.

That ghost is controlling you.

Wait, you know about Scratch?

"Scratch"? It has a name?

Yes, and he's my friend, Ollie.

That's exactly what someone
being controlled would say.

The demon's got its fishhooks
in your brain,

like an evil invasive species
tree spreading its roots.

One, I'm a ghost, not a demon.

And two, pick a metaphor.

- Am I a fisherman or a tree?
- Ollie, stop! Listen to me!

I'm not in trouble, okay?
And I don't need your help.

Ghosts aren't bad.

How can you say that?
They live to scare.

It's a dead tie, and not just
because they're both ghosts.

Tiebreaker goes
to whoever scares...

Hmm, let's see.

...that human the most.

What?

(whimpering)

(ghosts shriek)

(screams)

Geoff wins! Yes!

Completely impartial judge here.

This is exactly
what I'm talking about.

Ghosts are evil and dangerous.

No, no, no, they're just
having a little fun.

Everyone likes to be scared
on Halloween.

Yeah, don't be upset,
little buddy.

It's all in good fun.

Here, have some
Halloween candy.

Wait, is this candy poisoned?

What? Well, I hope not.
I mean, I've been eating it
all night.

Oh, no!
Promise me that if I die,

you'll tell Jeff I love him.

You do know you're already dead, right?

Oh, right!

That's a relief.

Listen up, team. This is it.

- The ghosts are inside.
- Dad?

RUBEN: Okay, Chens,
load your weapons.

The whole ghost-hunting
family is here.

Way to go, Molly.

Ghost Christmas
officially ruined.

Uh, it's okay.
I'll stall the Chens.

You get everyone to safety
quickly and, Scratch, calmly.

Ghost Hunters are here!
Everyone panic!

(all scream)

Uh, Chens.
Fancy seeing you here.

Love the costumes.
What are you, uh, janitors?

No, we're the Ghost Fighters.

Haven't you seen the movie?

Nope. Do you wanna tell me
the whole plot
in exacting detail?

(chuckles) Molly, we are
on an urgent mission.

- We have to get inside.
- (chuckles) Not without tickets,
you don't.

- Ah!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You going to leave
without your change?

Ooh. But would you look at that,
I only have pennies.

So that's one...

two...

three, four...

Oh, I dropped one.

Lost count. I'll start again.

(weapon powering up)

Move it, Tugbottoms.
We don't have all night. Ah! Oh!

- Hey!
- I'm not letting you go

till I understand
why you're haunting Molly.

I'm not haunting her.

Ooh! Ah! So sticky.

Technically, we were
cursed together, but--

Aha! I knew you had
a nefarious plan.

You did curse her mind.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Do not blame her mind on me.

She was like this
when I met her.

What's your scheme?
Are you feeding off
her positive energy?

- Draining her life force?
- What? No!

We're best friends!

I'm grumpy, she's peppy.
It makes no sense, but it works.

We'd do anything
for each other.

Ollie, this place
is crawling with gho-- Oh!

Looks like you already
captured one.

Let me finish him off!

- No!
- No, wait! You can't.

Because I'm, uh,
interrogating this ghost

to find out
his evil ghost-genda.

I'm going to go
help Mom and Dad then.

If you expect me to thank you

for saving me from your sister,

uh, I want to say April?

- May?
- It's June.

June. I was--

That was the next one
I was gonna say.

Anyhoo, this trouble
is all on you, pal.

You made this.

Sixty-three, sixty--

Oh, lost count.
Well, better start again.

This time in Japanese.

- (counting in Japanese)
- Ah! Just keep the change!

Tell your mom and dad we're
still on for Sunday karaoke.

Wait!

Oh! I'm freezing up!

I can't remember
how to make a portal! Ah!

I'm not going to make it!

Save yourself, Jeff!

I'm not going anywhere
without you.

- Not so fast.
- (both yelp)

Number one defender on
my junior high basketball team.

Still got it, baby.

- Jeff!
- Geoff!

Ghosts? Real live...

um, dead... ghosts?

All those Internet skeptics
are going to be so sorry.

Ahh! Oh, 'tis plastic.

Ahh!

Another one!

Scratch? Scratch?

(gasps) Geoff and Jeff!

I'll free you.
Have you seen Scratch?

Last time I saw him,
he was heading outside.

Don't worry about us.
We're fine.

Go save my precious Scratch!

We really need to talk about how
obsessed you are with Scratch.

(gasps) Scratch!

- BOTH: Molly!
- (Molly grunts)

- I'll get you out of here!
- I'm not letting him go.

Not until I figure out
what these ghosts are up to.

I thought you were
an en-good-ifier, but you're...

You are an en-bad-ifier!

(gasps) No, I'm not!

Ghosts are the em-bad-ifiers.

They attacked my dad!

Any chance this argument could
be a little less painful for me?

Oh, one ghost did a bad thing
and now you're going
to take it out on all of them?

Yeah, I didn't scare your dad.
If it makes you feel any better,

I barely did my job
scaring anyone.

You've never talked to a ghost,
or hung out with a ghost,

or hugged a ghost.

It's like hugging
a giant marshmallow

who can give you a hug
right back.

But you've clearly never been
hugged by a giant marshmallow,

have you, Ollie Chen?

'Cause the fact is,

you know nothing
about real ghosts!

- (panting)
- Just gonna take these back.

Oh, man.
They're all stretched out now.

But I've been told ghosts
are bad my whole life.

It has to be true.

Listen, us terrible, evil ghosts

just raised a ton of money
for charity.

Some kid's getting a baby cow
because of us. Maybe two.

I'll admit that doesn't seem
like an evil thing to do.

I promise, Ollie,
ghosts aren't bad.

- (ghosts snarling)
- Ah! What was that?

- (ghastly screaming)
- SCRATCH: Oh, no.

- (roars)
- SCRATCH: Frightmares.

They thrive on chaos.

(roaring)

(thunder crashing)

And we got a lot of that
going on right now.

(all screaming)

(roars)

They call it a hand pie

because you eat it with your...

hands!

(Frightmares shrieking)

Uh, these special effects
are too real!

Too real!

- (snarling)
- Not again.

Ugh! This is the third time
I've seen a ghost.

Why are they so obsessed
with me?

Okay, uh, I know I just said
that, uh, ghosts aren't bad.

But those ghosts are pretty bad.

(screaming)

We can take them.

This is our moment,
Ghost Chaser Chens.

Woo-hoo! Ha!

See? This is why we do drills
in the backyard.

(roars)

Ugh! These costumes
are a rental!

If you want to mess
with Brighton,

you're going to have
to go through us.

(all snarling)

(yelping)

They're going through us!
They're going through us!

(gasps)

My family!

Ollie, you have to free Scratch.

As the Chairman
of the Ghost World,

he's the only one who can
defeat the Frightmares.

You expect me to believe
he's the Chairman of Ghosts?

Yeah, honestly, still getting
used to the idea myself.

Look, Ollie, I can't tell you
all ghosts are good.

They're like people.

Yeah. Some are good,
some are bad,

others seem grumpy
but are maybe kind of lovable

if you give them a chance.

I know you can always see
the good in people,

so I'm asking you
to see the good in ghosts.

(gasps)

(laughs nervously)

Ollie, no!

Whew! Feels good
to be out of that stuff.

Really gets in the nooks
and crannies,

if you know what I mean.

Oh! Buddy!

Okay, done. You and I
will set the good ghosts free

while Scratch deals
with the Frightmares.

♪ Ghost Friends ♪

Time to bust out...

my Chairman robes.

(grunting)

Let me just-- Hold on one--

Where is the arm hole
on this thing?

You know, I threw it
in the dryer one time.

This is the guy
that's going to save us?

Uh, yes.

LIBBY: Hello? Anyone?
I'm stuck in this pumpkin--

- No! I get motion sick!
- Okay, I'm good.

Let's do this.
Do I have time for a snack?

- BOTH: No!
- Okay, okay.

Here I go. I'm all in!

(all grunt)

We did not train for that
in the backyard.

- (all groaning)
- (bones cracking)

We've got one last hope.
June, the Phantom Canister.

But it's just a prototype!
It's not ready!

It's the only chance we have
of trapping the ghosts.

(all shriek)

LIBBY: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

(growls, shrieks)

(shrieking)

(roars)

I told you it wasn't ready.

Then at least the world
will finally see the truth,

and we'll be laughingstocks
no more.

For the first time in history,
witness real ghosts on camera.

(Libby yelps)

Freedom at last!

Oh, no.
Not the motion sickness!

(retching)

(growls)

I'm no fan of the old Chairman,
but honestly,

I see why he locked you
in the Flow of Failed Phantoms.

I didn't want to do this,
but you're leaving me no choice.

Ahem, I curse you, Frightmares!

May you never again float free

and be bound into, um...

oh, that thingy!

(all shrieking)

(beeps)

Whew! Whoa.

I believe this is a call
for a celebration.

A celebration
of the, ahem, hand pie type.

With whipped cream on top,
I do believe.

(chuckles)

Where are they? Oh, come on.

(beeping)

I think they're in here.
My canister worked?

Well, we didn't get the ghosts
on camera, but--

This is even better.
They'll have to believe us now.

(Esther whoops, laughs)

Oh, thanks, little buddy.

Sorry again
for scaring you earlier.

I still feel real bad about it.

That's all right. Oh, wow.

This does feel like
hugging a marshmallow.

Hey, Ollie, quick thing:

If you ever do anything
to hurt my sweet,

sweet Geoff again,

I will end you.

(whimpers, gulps)

That seems reasonable.

Okay, cool. See you around.

I'm sorry for assuming
all ghosts were bad.

In fact, some are pretty great,
right? Boop!

Molly, we have talked
about the booping of my snoop.

Yeah, but your snoop's so cute,
it's just gotta be booped. Boop!

I really can't get over
how squishy he is.

All right, all right.
When she does it, it's cool.

When you do it, it's weird.

I'm going to eat some hand pies.

That was awesome!

I thought the special effects
in the house were realistic,

- but that was next level!
- Special effects?

Those weren't special effects.
Those were real ghosts.

Tonight proves
they're a menace to Brighton.

(girls giggling)

He thinks the ghosts were real.

How embarrassing.

(all snickering)

What? No. Don't laugh at me.

Ghosts are real!

BATES: I believe you.

I saw ghosts
with my own two eyes.

(whimpers)

Don't worry. We'll protect you.

And we won't rest until every
Brightonian is safe from ghosts,

whether they believe us or not.

Yeah, they're going
to be a problem, right?

Yeah.

- Hand pie?
- Yeah, all right.
