[Vampirina] "Nanpire
and Grandpop the Greats"

[doorbell screams]

Poppy! Come on in.

Ooh! Thanks, Vee.

Wow, you look fancy!

Thanks. Everyone dresses up the night
of the Blood Moon Festival.

Um, about that,

could you explain the holiday to me?

The invitation didn't say much,

[giggling] though it did talk.

[woman's voice] You're invited
to the Blood Moon Festival Dinner

at the Hauntleys'.

Be there or be scared! [laughing]

Boo!

Well, once a year...

On the night of the Blood Moon,

We vampires have a giant, monstrous feast.

And invite family...

To celebrate the previous
scare of the year,

and shriek in the new one.

-We call it...
-[all] The Blood Moon Festival.

[toots]

Sounds fun!

It's my favorite night!

It's all about family coming together

to share the most spookarific
vampire meal,

and since we're far away
from Transylvania now,

it's kind of tough for
other family members to make it,

but after everything
we've gone through together this year,

you and Edgar and your mom
feel like family.

I totally agree,

but are you sure my mom and Edgar

will be okay with the vampire food?

They'll be here
as soon as Edgar's tie is on.

♪ La la loo loo loo loo loo ♪

[chuckles] Don't worry.

We usually have magic vampire food

with Nan and my grandpa
back in Transylvania.

But since we're here
with your family this year,

we made sure to keep the menu
strictly human.

[whooshing]

[both] Human?

-Mommy! Daddy?
-Mwah!

We didn't think you'd be able
to make it this year.

Well, my shriek, your grandpop
and I talked it over.

I said, "Why in scare-nation wouldn't we?"

You're our Vee!

And it's the Blood Moon after all.

-[chattering]
-[laughter]

Oh, for Drac's sake, not again!

[laughs] Well, I'm glad you're here.

-Hi, Mrs. Nan.
-[smooches]

And, Grandpa,
this is my best friend Poppy.

-She's a...
-Human.

Well, I'll be a troll's uncle.

Vampires and humans being friends.

I didn't see that in my day.

Ghastly greetings!

But did I hear you say
we're eating human food?

We're not having a single
vampire dish tonight?

How can it be the Blood Moon

without the traditional dishes?

♪ A vampire feast at the very least ♪

♪ Should have the traditional
Blood Moon dishes ♪

- ♪ Screaming potatoes ♪
-[screaming]

- ♪ And shrieking tomatoes ♪
-[shrieking]

♪ And a gravy boat
That grants your wishes ♪

♪ That's the way we do things still ♪

♪ Always have and always will ♪

♪ Traditional and apropos ♪

♪ That's the way a feast should go ♪

♪ But, Grandpop, you'll find
You really won't mind ♪

♪ You might even like
A few human platters ♪

♪ Don't be too hasty
'Cause turkey is tasty ♪

♪ And the menu isn't all that matters ♪

♪ So come on, let's try something new ♪

♪ It's the human thing to do ♪

♪ Our traditions change and grow ♪

♪ That's the way ♪

♪ A feast should go ♪

Hmm. I've never in my 689 years

had a Blood Moon Festival like that.

Oh, come on, Pop!

Chef Remy is such a great cook,

he can even make human food
taste delicious.

If you don't believe me, go have a taste

while we set the table.

[slurping]

Mmm, there's no spice, no screams.

It's not even wiggling.

Mmm, it is a little bland, but...

[gasps] Don't you always carry a bottle

of homemade Monstro powder?

Of course, but we should
use just a smidgen.

Otherwise, the flavors
could really come to life.

Remember last year's dinner?

We had to chase our appetizer down

before it hopped away!

[both laughing]

Grandpop, what are you doing?

That might look like ordinary salt,

but I'd recognize it anywhere.

It's your special Monstro powder.

-Uh, we just wanted to...
-Well, eh..

Oh, we are so sorry, screamkins.

We'll leave everything alone.

It might not be traditional,

but I'm sure we'll love
all that human food you made.

Good, 'cause Poppy's family
will be here any minute,

and we have to finish
setting the table. Come on!

Of course, Vee.

Yes, my love, whatever makes you happy.

[humming La Marseillaise ]

[slurps]

Zis soup needs a little spice.

Vee said only human food
this year, so, uh,

I'll just add some salt.

Hmm, maybe I should add some
to all these foods.

Human dishes are so bland!

Ha ha ha! And voila!

All done! Another masterpiece by moi.

-[doorbell screams]
-That must be your mom and Edgar.

Wait, Vee, are you sure
dinner is going to go all right?

Your grandparents are very...

vampire-y.

They're just happy to be here with us,

so it'll be fine. You'll see.

Happy Blood Moon Festival!

Yes. Well, hello there, girls.

Happy, um, that.

And thanks for inviting us. [laughs]

When's dinner? I'm super hungry.

[Oxana] I'm glad you have an appetite,

because we made plenty of food.

All normal, of course. Heh! Very human-y.

Edna, Edgar, these are my parents.

Oh, hello! I'm Edna Peepleson,

and this is my son Edgar.

Spooktacular to meet you.

Spooky salutations!

-Aah!
-Oh, my!

[laughs]

h* h*, that's my pop!

He loves a good, harmless,
magicless prank,

like wind-up fangs.

[chuckles]

Why don't we head to the table?

Happy Blood Moon Festival, everyone.

Before we eat, we have a bunch
of family traditions.

-Before we eat?
-[stomach growls]

First we have the scream bowl.

We take this old Transylvanian bowl

and pass it around.

You scream into it for good luck.

Oh, my! How oddly special.

-Aaaaah!
-Ooh!

Not yet, Edna dear. Wait your turn.

Ahh-ooh-eee!

Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Whooo!

Aah!

Hungry!

Aaah-ooh-ooh!

Um... ee?

Oh, excuse me.

I'm not much of a screamer.

But it's the Blood Moon family tradition.

It feels quite spooktacular, I assure you.

It's okay.

We can just move
on to the second tradition.

Sharing our nightmares
for the upcoming year.

Uh... nightmares?

Oh, bats! I forgot the nightmare
catcher from the attic.

It's bad luck, remember?

Even more than a black cat.

It's fangtastic.

I'll help you get it.

We'll be right back.

[clears throat]

So do the two of you still live
in a house,

or perhaps a condo?

Retirement castle.

Ah!

[Demi] Psst! Psst! Vee!

Demi, what are you doing down there?

[whispering] We might have a little bit
of a problem in the kitchen!

Problem?

-Aah!
-This is definitely a problem!

Aah! Ooh! Ai! Ooh!

What happened?

My guess is too much Monstro powder.

You know how lively it can make things!

But Nan didn't use any!

Zat's Monstro powder?

I might have mistaken
ze bottle for ze salt.

[whimpering]

Oh! What do we do? What do we do?

[inhales]

Well, first off,
maybe we take a deep breath.

[exhales sharply]

Good call.

Now what?

You two help Remy get dinner
under control.

I'll go serve...

these unmonsterfied rolls.

Dinner is...

served.

Is that it?

Um, we sorta had a mishap in the kitchen.

Dinner kind of got away from us.

-Heh heh.
-Oh, Vee dear.

We have plenty of food
back at our house, ya know.

I can go get some if you'd like.

Aah! Turkey!

Huh? Well, I didn't make a turkey, dear.

But why don't I just run home
and get a few things?

Great idea! We'll be here,

holding down the fort. Heh.

Edgar, will you help?

Anything for some food.

[Demi] I can't hold on anymore!

Somebody grab the drumstick!

Vee, what is going on?

[all screaming]

It's a food fight!

This is bad!

How are we going to have
the Peeplesons here with flying food?

I just wanted everyone
to celebrate together

like one big family.

By ghoulie, Vee,

of course we'll have
our Blood Moon Festival,

vampires and humans.

My spell book! It's in my purse.

It's sure to have a solution.

Hauntleys, let's do it!

[all] Food fight!

Take that! Ooh!

It's fighting back!

Stop the pastry! I want to get off!

Only a basket of dinner rolls for dinner?

[chuckles] Those Hauntleys
are a hoot, aren't they, Edgar?

Edgar? Edgar Peepleson!

What? I'm starving.

Mother? Anything?

[Nan] Not yet!

Give me a minute!

Hurry, Nan! Edna and Edgar
are right outside!

Found it!

"Dinner, dinner, dancing round,

think it's time you hit the ground."

[Edna] We're back!

Ooh! This looks divine!

Hope it wasn't too much trouble.

[all exhale deeply]

Oh, not too much.

So, let's eat.

Gather round.

Let the Blood Moon Festival begin!

[laughing]

Edna, this peach pie is
dangerously delicious.

I never thought I'd like
Pennsylvanian food, but here you go.

Why, thank you. Old family recipe.

[laughs] Grandpop, just take one bite.

I promise you'll like it.

I always have scary berry pie,

but anything for my favorite vampdaughter.

[gasps]

That is ghoulishly good.

Maybe human stuff isn't so bad after all.

[laughs] Told ya!

There's always room
for new traditions, Grandpop.

Then I have room for another piece.

[screaming]

[giggles]

With a meal that good, I couldn't help it.

[all cheer]

What a scream!

You have to show me
how you did it some time.

There's always next year's Blood Moon.

We hope you'll join us again.

After all, the more
the scarier in our family.

It would be lovely.

It might've taken a little while,
but it actually happened.

Huh? What happened?

-We all became a family. [chuckles]
-[overlapping dialogue]

Happy Blood Moon Festival, Poppy.

You too, Vee.

[Vampirina] "There's Snow Place
Like Home."

I think that about does it.

The cobwebs really keep the house cozy
now that it's getting chilly.

Who wants some hot cocoa
with monstermallows?

Ooh, so monsterlicious!

[slurping] Mmm!

There's really nothing
quite like the dead of winter.

It's cloudy and cold.

The trees look all spooky.

It feels just like Transylvania!

I think it's time to break out
our winter capes.

There you are, batkins.

Thanks, Mama.

[gasps] My haunted sled, too!

Whoa!

Whoa-h*, yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

-[sputtering]
-Whoa! Ooh!

Whoops. Forgot it runs on snow.

Do you think we'll have snow
in Pennsylvania, Mama?

I hope so.

Remember our snowball contests back home?

And the snow monster we made?

And that time Papa skied
down Monster Mountain?

Yes, I do.

I also remember when he got
all that snow down his pants.

[both laughing] That was so funny!

[sighs deeply] Oh!

Vee, everything all right?

Well, it's just...

now I kinda sorta wish
we were in Transylvania again.

We had so much fun there.

I guess I'm just feeling
a little homesick.

Oh, batkins, just think,

you'll have all sorts
of new winter traditions

to start in Pennsylvania!

And I'm sure Papa will manage

to get snow down his pants here, too.

[chuckles] You're right.

-Thanks, Mama.
-[doorbell screams]

Hello, Hauntleys!

Not sure if you heard the news,

but there's a big storm headed our way!

A storm?

It's gonna snow!

At least that's what the weatherman says.

And he's usually wrong.

Oh! You should see our weatherman

on Transylvania Monster Television.

He's always right.

Well, and we'll see a ghostly chill

moving through the spookiest
parts of Transylvania tonight,

with an eerie chance of snow.

Yeah? I feel in in my fur. [laughing]

Uh-oh! Time to get
the snow shovel! [grunts]

Whoa! That weatherman is good.

And really hairy.

Yep! It always snows in Transylvania.

I can't wait for it to snow here, too!

I'll show you how to build a snow monster,

and we can play on my sled!

Sounds amazing!

-[Edna] Poppykins!
-[both laughing]

I better go.

Okay. See ya tomorrow!

Bye-bye, Hauntleys!

-Thanks for stopping by!
-Bye.

It's going to snow!

I can't wait! I can't wait!

It's gonna feel just like Transylvania.

Just like home.

I better get to bed.

The sooner I'm asleep,
the sooner there'll be snow!

[gasps] Snow!

I'm ready! What are we doin' first?

Skeleton skating? Skeleton skiing?

-Ooh! Skeleton sledding.
-All of it!

Let's see how much snow we...

Huh?

Oh, batkins, I'm afraid
we didn't get any snow.

The storm passed us.

No snow?

I can't believe it.

This never would have
happened in Transylvania.

I love living in Pennsylvania,

but right now,

I wish I lived back home again.

Oh! I think we've got
a homesick vampire on our hands.

[Boris] Oh, come on, my little spider.

Mama's making paranormal pancakes
and scary cider.

That always makes me feel at home.

[sighs] Thanks,

but I'm not very hungry.

All right. It'll be waiting
for you when you're ready.

[smooches]

Do you think I'll ever get to ride
my haunted sled again?

Or build another snow monster?

You'll be riding that thing

all over the neighborhood in no time.

There'll be snow another day.

If we could say some magic words
to make snow appear...

[laughs] Believe me, we would.

Demi, that's it!

Of course it is!

What is?

Ooh! Oh, yeah!

Oh, yes, a snow spell!

Uh-huh! If we do a snow spell,

it'll finally feel like Transylvania!

I don't know about this.

Weather spells are tricky,

and so is Mother Nature.

She doesn't always cooperate
with magic, you know.

But a teensy-weensy bit
of snow couldn't hurt.

I think it's a spooktastic idea,

and not just because it was mine.

This ghosty snow bunny is on board.

Gregoria, are you in?

Well, I do love wearing my snowshoes.

Any my monster mittens.

And I hate seeing you sad, Vee.

All right, let's do this.

-Yay!
-Yay!

This spell looks about right.

Ready?

[all] "Winter weather, ice and snow,

bring the chill, a frosty show.

Snowflakes fall, please, in a hurry.

Come on, sky, release the flurry!"

There.

It worked!

It's snowing!

Ha ha!

Who's ready for a snow day?

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

-Whoo!
-Whoo-hoo!

[giggling] Snow vampire!

I prefer making snow ghosts. [giggling]

[grunts]

Nice and chilly in here, Vee!

Feels just like home, right?

Oh, Vee, look!

My haunted sled!

Yeah!

Ohh! Snow!

I can't believe it!

Uh, Mama and Papa, it's actually...

-Vee?
-Poppy!

Do you want to ride on my sled?

Or build a snow monster?

Or play in the haunted igloo?

Uh, Vee?

The snow? It's, um...

It's only snowing at your house!

-[Boris] It is?
-[Oxana] What?

Great gargoyles!

Either the weather in Pennsylvania
is very strange,

or we're under a magical spell.

[grunting and laughing]

Aha!

Eh, I'm gonna say it's the weather
in Pennsylvania. [giggles]

Mama, Papa, the snow was my idea.

I'm sorry.

I just thought with a little bit of snow,

I'd feel like I was in Transylvania again.

Vee, I know it's your first winter
here in Pennsylvania,

but weather spells are never a good idea.

Papa's right.

I think it's best
you reverse the spell, batkins.

We can't let anyone see this!

Or let this guy go to Poppy's house!

[both straining]

[Edna humming]

That would be really bad,

because my mom is coming!

Hello!

[Edna] Poppy!

Can someone give me a hand
or an arm? Oh!

Mama, Papa, distract Miss Peepleson
before she comes outside!

We'll reverse the spell!

Leave it to me, Vee!

[clears throat] Winter weather,
ice and snow,

melt snowflakes and go, go, go!

-[thunder rumbling]
-Whoa! Take cover!

-[Vampirina] Aah!
-[Demi] My bad, Vee!

Really, Demi?

"Melt snowflakes" means
turning them into water!

I, uh... I see that now.

Clear the snow from the room,

clear the rain in one boo!

-[thunder rumbling]
-Aah!

That didn't work, either!

Reading out of the spell book might help,

instead of Demi doing
his willy-nilly incantations.

Here's one!

Okay, "Summer sunshine, warm and dry,

tropic heat, don't be shy."

-[Demi] The snow is melting!
-Uh-huh!

We did it!

[gasps]

h*, h*!

Or maybe not.

Whoo! It's a little warm
for a winter coat.

Way too warm.

Our backyard's turning into a jungle.

This doesn't feel like Transylvania
or Pennsylvania!

We have to say exactly the right words.

Well, we better hurry.

My cheeks are getting flushed,

which is not normal for a ghost, folks!

Here's one, and it just might work.

[exhales deeply]

"Winter weather, ice and snow,

bring the chill, the snow can go.

Mother Nature, need we say more?

Return our winter as it was before."

-[Vampirina] It's working!
-[Gregoria] All right!

-[Demi] Oh, you did it!
-[Poppy] Good job, Vee!

It's cold all right.

[winces]

Oh! Everything's back to normal.

Back to...

no snow.

And no snow monster.

Aw, I'm really gonna miss that guy.

I'm sorry the snow's gone, Vee.

We know how much you wanted it
to feel like home.

It's okay.

I guess I shouldn't have done that spell
in the first place.

It may not be snowing outside,

but one of my favorite things
is going to the ice-skating rink.

Maybe we can do that!

Oh! And then we could sip
hot cocoa and monstermallows

to warm up our feetsies!

That'll make it feel like home.

We could make paper snowflakes, too.

Or build an indoor igloo?

Or watch a snowy movie at my house.

Whoo! Now we're talkin'!

But I know it's not the same as real snow.

No, it's not the same.

-It's even better.
-It is?

That all sounds spooktacular.

As long as I have friends like you,

I don't need snow.

I feel at home without it.

How's it looking, Vee?

The coast is clear. No more snow.

Sweet slime, that is good news.

But I hope you're not
too disappointed, Vee.

It's okay. I feel right at home.

It's... snowing!

For real!

Bat-tastic!

-[Oxana] It is! It really is!
-[Gregoria] Whoa! No Way!

[blabbers]

Hey, I guess the spell
missed the snow monster.

Oh, can he stay?
Please, please, look at him! He's so cute!

[chuckles] Yep, this really
does feel like home.

-Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!
