[Vampirina]
"Hauntley Home Movies."

Now, Demi and Gregoria,
Boris and I will only

be visiting Transylvania
for the weekend.

If you need anything,
just give us a shriek.

Make sure little Vee works
on her homework

and brushes her fangs.

We already know all this.

Vee should "brush her homework
and work on her fangs."

Got it.
[gasps]

Okay, that didn't
sound right.

Really. We've been
taking care of Vee

since she was
in vampi-diapers, remember?

-That's a ghoul point.
-We'll be off then.

See ya.

Have fun storming
the Transylvania castles.

What are you two ghouls
working on?

It's haunts and crafts,

my favorite
sunny day activity?

[giggles] Yep.
It's a project for school

called "What I Was Like
As a Baby."

We have to collect a bunch
of baby pictures and stuff,

and share it at school
with all the other kids.

My mom saves everything.

Like this.

Oh, who's this little guy?

[chuckles]
Mr. Hops-a-lot.

But I don't think
I'm gonna include him.

He's a little old
and missing an eye.

Look! I just finished mine.

Here's baby me with
my favorite stuffed mummy,

and eating my favorite
scary-berry food.

Aw, you like
a little angel.

Mama and Papa said I was

the spook-sweetest
baby around.

I can hear Papa now.

[mimicking Papa]
Little Vee, you're made of

cobwebs and spice
and everything nice.

[chuckles] You know
this isn't exactly

-the Baby Vee we remember.
-Oh, yeah.

You know, you were
definitely cute, but--

Are you sure this poster
really shows off

what you were like
as a baby?

Well, these are all
the baby pictures

I could find
around the house.

Here's one of me sleeping

and eating out of my first
cauldron with a spoon.

I barely made a mess.

Looks like Vee to me.

Plus, it's not like
she can remember

what she was like
as a baby.

Huh...that is true.

I've always wanted to see
more of baby me,

but what can we do?

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Uh-huh.

-[Gregoria] Home movies.
-[Demi] Time machine!

Oh, right.
What she said.

Boris and Oxana
made sure to film

all of our family's most
spooktacular moment.

[coughs]

But will they
even be able to play?

That projector looks
pretty old.

I hope so.

I want to see myself

as a cute widdle
baby vampire.

Hmm. Okay, let's see here.

"Boris and Oxana's Wedding."

Ooh...nope.

Oh, "Demi's Transylvanian
Scream Factor Audition"?

Yes, let's pop that one in
for sure.

[gasps]
All right, fine.

Oh, oh, here we go.

"Baby Vee."
And this one is from--

Oh, one of the summers
we spent here

in Pennsylvania
with Uncle Dieter.

Yep, that's the one.

Okay, well, then,
let's dim the lights

and pass
the popped creepy-corn.

[projector whirring]

-[Poppy] There she is.
-[Vee] It's me!

[Gregoria] Wow, check out
how young we were back then.

[Demi] We don't look
a day over two centuries.

[Vee]
And there's Uncle Dieter.

Check out his sideburns.

Would you look at her?

Little Vampirina,

she's as cute
as a bat's ear.

-Would you like to hold her?
-Yes!

[Vee coos]

Whoops, you're not
used to your ol' Uncle yet.

Yeah, but you know what?

I know exactly what
will cheer you up.

-[strums spookylele]
-[happy coos]

Oh, worked like
a witch's charm.

[Oxana] Our baby batkins
loves all kinds of music.

This is great.

Maybe you'll play
the spookylele one day.

Oh, bats!

I've got to get ready
for the concert.

Boris, Oxana,
I'll meet you--

[projector grumbles]

-[coughs] Oh, no!
-[Demi] Oh, no!

-What happened?
-Is it broken?

I'm gonna say
that's a yes.

Aw. We were about to see
more of eerie-dorable me.

Is there another way
to keep watching?

Demi, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Oh! Time...machine?

The answer's never gonna be
"time machine",

you goofy ghoul.

I'm talking about
the remote.

Oh! Hold on, I think
I might've left it...

[groans] in here.

But I thought the projector
was broken?

But with this handy-dandy
magical remote,

we can go into the movie,

and watch past the point
where it broke.

Now we can see baby me
up close.

Lights... camera...
action!

Did it work?

-[gasps] It did.
-Woohoo.

Spooky success.

We're really in a movie?
Wow!

Now we can watch
where it left off.

We're off to see Uncle Dieter's
spookylele performance.

So will you two
be all right

watching Vampirina alone
for the first time?

We know Little Vee
can be [chuckles]

a little bit of a handful.

A handful? Me?

Don't worry about a thing,
we've got this...

-uh, right, Gregoria?
-Uh, yep!

You can count on us.

Vee, you sure liked to move
around when you were a baby.

You kind of remind me
of you cousin Nosy.

What? Nosy is batty!

Wait, Vampirina, come back!

Don't knock over that--

-[giggles]
-[Demi sighs]

Mama and Papa
never told me

I liked to run around
making messes.

You were adorably mischievous,
all right. [chuckles]

Come on, let's go see
Baby Vee's lunchtime next.

Demi, can you
fast forward us there?

No problem.

Fast forwarding
always makes me dizzy.

You got that right.

Okay, Vampirina,
open wide.

Here comes the broomstick.
[chortles]

Oh, come on.
You're gonna love it!

[groans]
Clean up on aisle Vee!

Whoa! I made a monster mess.

You really did.

Oh. Next up: nap time.

♪ Hush little Vampy
Don't screech a word ♪

♪ Demi's gonna buy you
a zombie bird ♪

♪ And if that--
Okay, where'd she go?

[giggles]

-Come down here, Vee!
-Come here batty one!

-Rawrr.
-[Gregoria groans]

-[crunches]
-Hey, my horn!

Don't worry.
Don't worry, I got her.

No, Vee!
This is Medusa-brand.

That's right.

-[chuckles]
-Omghouls!

I know. A necktie!

Look at that old style.
What was I thinking?

No, I mean...

I can't believe
I was such a...

a little terror.

Come get the toys.

Wanna cuddle
a stuffed Bigfoot?

Werewolf?

There we go.

-[Vampirina giggles]
-What do we do?

She just won't...
stop moving.

How should I know?
I'm just one monster.

[groaning]

I can't watch anymore.

I can't believe

what a chompy, speedy,
wild baby I was.

I was always really proud

that Mama and Papa said
that I was perfect...

but I was terrible
with you two.

They do call them
the terrible two-centuries.

You were right.

The baby pictures
I put on my poster

aren't the real me at all.

This is the real me.

I've never shown the kids
at school my batty side.

If they see all this,
they might not like it.

Can we leave the movie now?

Wait, Vee.
We didn't want

to show you this
to make you sad.

Look, you gotta keep watching.

You'll see everything
about Baby-You,

we wanted to show you.
I-I promise.

-It's worth a try.
-Well...okay.

[screaming]

[mumbles]

Oh. There we go.

Maybe we should
try all this one more time.

[nervously]
This ghost is ready.

Oh, come on, Vee.
You gotta be hungry by now.

Okay. Here comes
the broomstick--

Oh, how about,
here's comes the bat.

Flap! Flap! Flap!
Yes! Yes! Yes!

And that was how you found
your favorite food.

A little messy but, you know,
what are you gonna do?

[chuckles] I finally
ate something for you.

And you got me
to switch to bow ties.

-She did?
-Well, yeah.

So, you would stop
grabbing my tie.

[grunts]
Love you too, Vee.

The point is,

I've always been happy
about the switch.

I mean, bow ties, come on.
Way more shrieky-chic!

And that's not all.
Demi fast forward again.

[cooing]

Huh?

I look silly as a mummy
like this, don't I?

[giggles]

Hey, look at this
funny mummy.

What do you think, kid?

[sighs]

[Gregoria] And that's how
you found your favorite toy.

And the bite you gave me,
caused my famous crack.

I love it. It's always
brought me ghoul luck.

-Aw.
-See?

You just had to see
the whole movie.

We showed you
the perfect moments and

the not-so-perfect moments,
because that's who you are.

-The real me.
-Yup.

Sweet and batty
and all. [chuckles]

That's the Vee I love.

And it's the Vee your classmates
are going to love too.

Thank you so much.

Now I can finish my project.

I can't wait to show
my classmates the real me.

And Mr. Hopsalot might be
a little old and worn,

but I'm gonna include him
in my project--

imperfections and all.

[chuckles]
That's a great idea.

Now, here's one of me
taking a nap.

And here's one of me
not wanting to take a nap.

[classmates] Awww.

-And this was snack time.
-[giggles]

My family showed me what
the real Baby Vee was like,

and I didn't like it
at first.

But then they
reminded me that

if you want to show your friends
the real you,

you have to show them
the perfect moments

and the imperfect moments...

because both make us
who we are

and I'm proud
of who I am.

-[cheering]
-Go, Vee.

-[sniffles]
-That's our Vee for you.

Yup.
The real Vee.

[Vee]
"Little Drummer Girl."

Is everybody ready?

-Yeah.
-Yup.

-Ready when you are.
-Wow, Edgar.

I didn't realize these close-ups
would be so... close.

I'm just testing out
camera angles

for your Ghoul Girls
music video.

I want to give it
that extra weird touch.

Then be sure to get
my good side.

[whispers] Oh, they're
all my good side.

Maybe we should let
the Ghoul Girls

-be in the Ghouls Girls video.
-[gasps]

I can't help it if
the camera loves me.

Remember, we can't
debut our video

until we get the song
just right.

And we still need
a lot of practice.

Okay.

But I told my viewers

I had a ghoulish surprise
for them.

So I want my next video
to be perfect.

And it will be.

Together we can do anything.

-Right.
-Yeah!

One, two, three...achoo!

Oh, is this a new re-mix?
I likey.

One, two, three...achoo!

No, I just had to sneeze.

-One, two, three...achoo!
-I don't know, kiddo.

Sounds like a
"I'm getting sick" sneeze.

I can't be sick.
[sniffles]

We have to practice
for the video

and we can't practice
without drums.

Maybe some Transylvania Tea
will help.

No, no, I'm fine.

One, two, three-- achoo!

[groans] Maybe Transylvania
Tea is a good idea.

Hi, Mama.
Hi, Papa.

Poppy needs a little
Transylvanian--

Whoa!

That's a lot more magic
than we usually use

to wash the dishes.

[chuckling] No, this is
for our latest guest.

He's a Kraken.

[nervously]
What's a Kraken?

Nothing. What's "kraken"
with you?

-[laughing]
-Oh, Boris.

You're hilarious--

I don't get it.

Ahem. A Kraken is
a sea monster

and they prefer to travel
by water. Watch.

[all] Wow.

[bubbling]

-Wow!
-It's a giant octopus.

Can we give you a hand?

[laughs] Don't worry,
I have eight.

The name's Octo.
Put 'er there.

[all giggling]

Spook to meet you, Octo.

I'm Vee, and these
are my friends.

-Hi.
-Um, hello.

[gasps]
The Ghoul Girls!

I saw you play the Octopus's
Garden in Transylvania.

Yeah, I'm kind of a fan.

We have an octopus fan?

Oh, pishaw!
Easy mistake, actually.

You Kraken's might
look like octopi,

but we're more monstery...

and a lot bigger.
You should see my sisters.

Whoa! They're ginormous.

[cackling] Well, I'm glad
I'm not ginormous.

This way, I can visit
the Scare B＆B.

I love music,

and I heard this is
the place to be.

We were actually in the middle
of band practice.

Wanna come check it out?

[gasps] I...well...
I wouldn't want to impose.

It'll be fun.
Always happy to meet a...

fa...faa...achoo!

Oh, Poppy.
You sound dreadful...

and not in a good way.

Maybe you should
go home and rest.

[groans] But what about
our new music video?

We still have to practice.

Um...I play a little drums.

I could fill in
until you feel better?

Well...I guess
I should rest

if I wanna get better
for the video.

-Thanks, Octo.
-No problem.

Let's get kraken.

Okay, Octo, let's see
what you can do.

Thanks, Vee.

I'll just need a few more.

Ha! Hiffy, heffy!

[grunting]

Whoo! Was that okay?

-Wow!
-Oh my ghostness.

That was fantastic, Octo!

I never knew you could drum
with that many hands...

uh, tentacles.

All this extra drumming
looks so cool on camera.

We should add even more.

-Oh, you think?
-Sure.

We have lots of drum stuff
that Poppy hasn't used yet.

The xylobone.
Ooh, the goblin gong.

Ooh, how about cowbell?

We can try to add them
in the new song.

Do you think you can
play along, Octo?

Well, I can try.

-One, two, three---

How was practice yesterday,
Edgar?

It was awesome.

Octo is an epic drummer.

-[Ghoul Girls playing]
-That's our new song?

Those drums are
a lot more complicated

than what I was playing before.

He even added more cowbell?

Wow. He has
really long arms.

I know. So don't worry, sis,

you can stay home and rest.

Feel better.

-You don't need me, but...
-[door closes]

[sighs]

Okay, Octo.

Looks like you're filling in
for Poppy again today.

-Happy to kelp.

Can you hear
my spookylele?

Nope. Just drums.

-Maybe adjust the amps!
-Dust the lamps?

I don't think
that will help!

-[screams]
-[Gregoria] Hey now!

Ahhh.

[sheepishly]
Uh-uh. Oh, uh...

Um, what do you think?

-Well, it sure was...fast?
-And... loud?

It was epic, Octo!

Can we add
even more drums?

[gurgles]

I'm on it.
[chuckles]

See? On it.

[plays rimshot]

-♪ ...moments ♪
-He is good.

It's okay. Now that
I'm feeling better,

I'll just learn
the new drums

and show them
I'm just as good as Octo.

Whoa. [groans]

How am I supposed
to do that?

I only have two arms.

Hmm.

Here we go.

[groaning]

Oh, okay!

Whoop!
[grunts]

If I can't play
our own song,

maybe they are better off
with Octo.

But if I wanna be
the Ghoul Girls' drummer,

I've gotta keep trying.

Today's the day.

I can't wait to film
this music video.

I'm glad Poppy's coming back.

Oh, and I can't wait to hear
all the Ghoul Girls play.

-Hi, everyone!
-[Vee] Poppy!

-Hey, Poppy.
-Hey, Sis.

-We missed you.
-You did?

-Of course.
-All right.

Places, people...
and monsters.

Okay, Poppy,
don't forget to add

the new fills,
and the goblin gong...

and way more cowbell.

-And--
-[chuckles] Edgar,

Poppy's got this.

I do? Uh, I mean...
sure I do.

One, two, three, four.

-Are you okay?

I...well...

It's just that...
I'm still sick.

[softly] Achoo!

Yeah. That's it.

You're still
not feeling better?

[nervously] Yup.
I better head home.

I'm sure Octo
can cover for me.

-Huh?
-Oh, man.

My viewers are expecting
a Ghoul Girls video.

And it's not the Ghoul Girls
without Poppy.

-What should we do?
-Get her some tissues.

A bowl of
chicken ghoudle soup.

And cuddle up
with a monster movie.

She'll be better
in no time.

I don't know if Poppy
is really sick.

We should check on her.

Hey, Poppy, we-- Huh?

Poppy. I thought
you were sick.

Uh, I was.
I... got better?

Then why are you playing
basketball instead of drums?

Well, I didn't think
you needed me.

Edgar showed me the video
of Octo's drumming.

I tried to play like him,
but I couldn't.

[sighs] If you want
to replace me with Octo,

I understand.

-What?
-Octo?

Please come back, Poppy.

The thing is,
Octo's drums are actually

a little too much.

We can't even hear
ourselves play.

Being a good drummer
isn't just about being fast

or using a lot of gong
or cowbell.

When you play with us,
our sound is scary good.

We would much rather
have your drums.

-Really?
-Yes, please.

Besides, we'd never
replace you.

You're just our drummer,

you're our best friend.

Thanks.

Oh, shrieks!
I just realized something.

If you really need
the goblin gong, I can try.

But I'm not sure
about that cowbell.

[giggles] No.
It's just that...

Octo worked so hard on adding
all those new drums.

I hope he's not disappointed
that we're gonna go back

to playing it
the Ghoul Girls way.

And that's why we're going back
to how the song was.

Wow. Well, I am so...

relieved!

-Huh?
-Really?

Poppy, you're such
a good drummer.

I tried so hard
to be as good as you.

Maybe a little too hard?

I'm not used to playing
in a band.

Well, I could give you
a few pointers if you want.

As long as you teach me

how you do that cool
twirly drumstick toss.

-Deal. [gurgles]
-[giggles]

Good to have you back, Poppy.

But I still kind of wish
there was some way

we could show off Octo's
cool tentacles in the video.

Actually, Edgar,
I have an idea.

Hey there.
My hand's stuck.

[laughs]

Poppy, one last question.

Can you sign my drumstick?
And this one? And this?

-Oh, and these?
-[giggles] Of course.

It's good to have
the band back together.

I was just thinking
the same thing.

Aw, bring it in!
