[Vampirina]
"The Magic Howl."

Come on out, Wolfie.
Come to Poppy.

[whimpers and barks]

Miss Cuddle Cakes
does this all the time

when she has to go
to the vet.

Step aside,
I'm going under.

Here, Wolfie, Wolfie.

Ah! Slobber.

Okay, I'm coming out.

How's it going in here?

Still not budging.

Oh, Wolfie.

Guess what I have.

Your skelly bone!

-[barks]
-[laughs]

How did you do that?

It's all my junior
critter-narian training.

Getting your pet to come out
for his checkup can be tough,

but there's always a way.

-[laughs]
-[doorbell rings]

[gasps]
That must be Dr. Paquette.

Greetings!

Wolfie's ready for his checkup,
Dr. Paquette.

-[barks]
-Oh!

Vampirina, I see you've been
at it again,

making sure all the critters
in your home

are properly cared for.

Just trying to be a scary-good
junior critter-narian.

Need any help today?

Maybe with Wolfie
or Penelope's checkup?

Or the spiders
in the attic?

Ah, the Scare B＆B
does have a lot of patients

for me to see today.

But right now, I need your help
with this critter.

This is Luna.

[girls]
Aw.

She's expecting a litter
of werepuppies any day now,

so I had
to bring her along.

Did you say werepuppies?

-[gasps] Cute.
-So cute.

Cutity-cute cute!

There's a lot of cute
going on.

But even I love
baby werepups.

Ah, I need a helping paw
with Luna

while I tend
to the other critters.

Junior Critter-narian Vee
reporting for duty.

Mama werewolves need
lots of care.

Let's see, Luna has bone-chilled
water, a cozy cobweb blanket,

and a nice scratch
behind the ears.

Excellent work, Vee.

Now all Luna needs
is a nice werewolf nap.

Her puppies might arrive
at any time.

Okay.

-Good night, Luna.
-[groans]

[puppies whimpering
and barking]

[gasps]

Poppy, Bridget,
did you hear that?

-Could it be...?
-Is it really...?

It's a boy. And a girl.

And another boy.

It's werepuppies.

[gasps and squeals]

[barking]

[Vampirina]
One, two, three, four...

[Poppy]
Five, six, seven...

[Bridget]
Eight, nine, ten werepuppies.

[all]
Aw!

Why, thank you.
You know, I am just that cute.

-[barking]
-Oh ,my ghosts.

Cute!

Three more?
That means there's...

Thirteen! Born this morning.

A litter this big only happens
the day of a full moon.

Wow! They're the cutest critters
I've ever seen.

Especially this
little guy.

Oh, that's Cosmo,
the smallest pup.

[barking]

I guess he's kinda,
sorta cute.

Can we keep him?

-[laughing]
-What can we do to help, Dr. P?

Well, I'll need
all paws on deck,

especially with tonight's
full moon.

-[cell phone screams]
-Aah!

Sweet slimetoads.

The Mummyton's cat is about
to have her litter

of magical kittens.

I need to go,

but I can't bring puppies
this young along with me.

You taught me
monster loads

about what it takes
to be a junior critter-narian.

Maybe I can watch the puppies
until you get back.

Huh.

Werepuppies are a pawful.

They'll need a bath,
meals every two hours,

lots of playtime,

and tonight's the full moon.

That's when the puppies
will perform their magic howl.

Magic howl?

It's an enchanted song
that gives the puppies

their magic as werewolves.

Oh, it's thrilling.

-[barking]
-That sounds spooktacular.

I can take care of the pups
and make sure

their magic howl
is perfect.

Thank you, Vee.

But if a pup isn't with his pack
for the magic howl...

Oh, I can't even say it.

And I'm too afraid to ask.

What would happen?

If a pup isn't with his pack
for the magic howl,

that puppy would never be able
to transform into a werewolf.

-Never.
-[all] Oh, no!

But if any junior critter-narian
can handle the challenge,

it's you, Vampirina.

Remember, a critter-narian
always finds a way.

I'll be back
as soon as I can.

-Okay, you heard Dr. P.
-[door opens and closes]

We got to keep an eye
on these puppies

and make sure
they're taken care of.

-What do we do first?
-[Demi] Oh!

Cuddle them and love them

and cover them with great big
ghost kissies.

-Oh!
-[giggles]

First, let's get them
spooky clean.

[pups barking]

Beastly bubbles rinsed.

Ready for a towel.

Why did I get stuck
with towel duty?

[Vampirina]
Every critter-narian knows

puppies eat a lot to grow
spooky and strong.

And these pups need
plenty of energy

for their
magic howl tonight.

Who's hungry?

[Poppy]
Here, puppy, puppies.

[Bridget]
Time to eat.

[Vampirina]
A bowl for Cosmo.

And you. And you.

Demi?

You can't eat
werepuppy food.

Why not?

I'm making my best
werepuppy eyes.

[giggles]
Look.

The puppies are on
their third meal already.

Do you think Dr. Paquette
will be back soon?

I'm not sure.

But the best thing we can do
is keep the pups busy

until tonight's
full moon.

I don't want anything
to happen to them.

[whimpers and barks]

Good idea, Wolfie.

After that bone!

[all bark]

[growling]

Need a little help, Cosmo?
Anything to keep you busy.

[giggles]

Oh, I could go for a snack
right about now.

How about you, boy?

Cosmo?

[gasps]
Cosmo!

Not now, little puppy.

[yelps and grunts]

No, no, no.

[all barking]
-Vee, we've got a tiny problem.

And it's a tiny problem
because it has to do with Cosmo.

But it's actually
a big problem.

-Oh! Cosmo's gone!
-What?

Oh, no.

Cosmo has to be with the pack
for his howl tonight,

or he won't get his magic
as a werewolf.

We have to find him. Fast.

After that pup!

Oops. Hey. Puppies.

-[all barking]
-[Demi grunting]

Oh, no!
After those puppies!

Werepuppies! Sit! Stay!

[sighs]
Good pups.

Now, where's your brother?

Vee, there he is.

I got him.

Oh, so cute.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[sighs]

It's like he vanished
into thin air.

And that's my thing.

Oh, no. Look.

[Bridget]
How'd he get in there?

Here I thought dogs
didn't like the mailman.

Come on.

Gotcha!

[laughs]
Slobber.

Oh, come back!

[all barking]

[grunts]
Cosmo!

[Bridget]
Cosmo's too fast.

We're never going
to catch him.

This is awful.

I promised Dr. Paquette
I'd keep an eye

on all the werepuppies.

If we don't find Cosmo soon,
he'll miss the howl

and won't get his magic
like the rest of his pack.

Is it just me
or do the puppies look,

I don't know,
shinier than usual?

Wait a monster minute.

Oh, no.

I think the pack
is getting ready

for their howl...
without Cosmo.

-We have to hurry.
-You can say that again. Look.

The moon's starting to rise.

Oh, how are we going
to find him?

I'm not sure,
but we can't give up.

Their magic is getting brighter.

-[all howling]
-Their howls are
getting louder too.

And if you ask me,
they're sounding really off-key.

Hold on, Dr. P said
a pack's magic howl

isn't just any howl.

It's a beautiful song.

Maybe if Cosmo hears his pack
starting their howl,

he'll come to us.

But who knows
how far he is?

Then we need to sing
loud and clear.

[howls]

Cosmo? Is that you?

Over there.

[Vampirina]
Cosmo.

-We found him.
-Finally.

[all barking and howling]

That was the most boo-tiful
howl I've ever heard.

Here it comes.
It's their magic.

They're going to transform.

-Wow.
-[Poppy] Amazing.

[Gregoria]
There's one. And another.

[Demi]
They grow up so fast.

-[Vampirina] We did it.
-[howling]

Thirteen spookily cute
and healthy werewolves.

I can't believe it.

I can.

Because you're an amazing
critter-narian.

You didn't give up.

It was amazing,
all right.

But I'd like to remind everyone

that we've now got

in the middle
of Pennsylvania.

Let's get the pack
back home.

Oh! These are the most
haunterific werepuppies

I've ever seen.

Looks like you had
no problem

handling your first pack
as a junior critter-narian.

Actually, Dr. Paquette,
it was a monster challenge.

I knew being a critter-narian
wasn't easy,

but taking care of a pack
of 13 werepuppies?

I never knew how hard
that would be.

Oh, does this make you
reconsider

becoming a critter-narian
someday?

Not at all.

Because even
if something is hard,

I'd never give up.

A critter-narian always
finds a way, right?

Ha-ha!

Said like a true
critter-narian.

I'm so proud of you,
Vampirina.

Oh, here comes another
big howl.

[all howling]

[Vampirina]
"Edgar the Ghoul Girl."

-Instruments ready to go?
-Check.

-Songbooks?
-Double check.

-Ghoulry and accessories?
-Check...

me out.

I feel like
rock star royalty.

-[all laugh]
-Demi.

It's time to film
Weekly Weirdness.

Who's ready for their close-up?

Oh, man!

Are you leaving
for Transylvania again?

I guess our Ghoul Girls schedule
has been pretty batty lately.

Last week we performed
at the zombie ball

and stayed late to sign
autographs.

Don't forget about our show
at La-La Lagoon.

Those sea monsters helped us
crowd surf with real waves.

And now we're getting ready
for the ultimate musical event.

A band camp hosted by
the Scream Girls.

-Whoo-hoo!
-Yeah!

You get to have all the fun
when you perform.

What if I came with you?

You do know that band camp
is for musicians only, right?

Then I want to be
a musician.

I bet I can learn
an instrument.

How hard can it be?

Oh, instruments can take
centuries to learn,

and I would know.

I've been practicing
my air guitar for ages.

[imitating guitar solo]

Whoa.

I think it's bat-tastic

that you're interested
in monster music life.

You'll never know unless
you give it a ghoul try.

I hereby declare you,
Edgar Peepleson,

an honorary Ghoul Girl.

Welcome to the greatest
band ever.

[squeals]

That's my excited scream.

Yes! Thank you.

I'm going to ace
every instrument and dance move.

[giggles]

It takes some practice,

but we'll be with you
every step of the way.

The Flying Fang
is clear for takeoff.

Let's rock and troll, people.

I'm going to go ask Mom
if I can go.

Be right back.

Ah! Welcome to band camp,
Ghoul Girls.

We're so spooked
you could make it.

I'm Edgar Peepleson,
honorary Ghoul Girl.

And my twin brother.

Edgar wants to learn
what it's like

being in a monster band.

Then you came
to the right place.

We've got singing lessons,
instrument practice,

and a spooky
dance rehearsal.

And to put it
all together,

everyone will get
to show off their new skills

in an epic camp concert.

[all cheer]

The first performance
for a musician

is a monster big step.

But you'll learn a ton
and be totally ready to perform.

I just want to get
to the performance part

where the monster fans
and fun are.

Well, well, well,
if it isn't the Ghoul Girls.

Poltergeist Pat?

Who do we have here?
Another human?

What are you doing here?

I'm here for the camp concert,
of course.

I wouldn't dare miss a chance
to receive roaring applause.

Does that mean you're going to
practice with the Scream Girls?

Practice? Oh, no, no, no.
That's way too much work.

So, what are you going to do all
day if you're not practicing?

I brought my own tent.

I'll be having a frightful
fiesta until showtime.

You'll know where to find me
if you scare to join.

Pat's going to miss out
on all the fun we'll have

learning new tricks
for the camp concert.

But I can't wait to see
what you learn.

Ready to be an honorary
Ghoul Girl, Edgar?

I'm ready.

Bring on the monster fun.

Perfecting your dance moves will
really help you boogie on stage.

-Hit it, Demi.
-[dance music plays]

Try out these moves by following
the lights on the dance floor.

[grunts]

I got this.

Here it goes.

Oh, whoa...aah!

You have to stomp
as big as Frankenstein

to keep your balance.

It takes a few tries.

Hey. Whoa.

This is going to take me
all afternoon to learn.

[indistinct chattering]

[laughing]

Now that's an easy
dance move.

All right, monster rockers,

come practice your shriek scales
at Spooky Lake.

You'll know you're on-key

when you see the skeleton fish
dance along.

♪ Eek, eek, eek ♪

-Ooh.
-Wow.

[all]
♪ Eek, eek, eek ♪

-Yay!
-Fantastic!

♪ Eek, eek, eek ♪

-[screams]
-[Edgar] Oh, man.

There won't be
a single fish left

by the time
I'm done practicing.

[laughing]

[Edgar]
Awesome.

I guess you don't have to sing

to see all the cool
monster stuff.

Every musician knows instruments
give your band bite.

Don't be afraid to try new ones
to better your sound.

-Awesome!
-Yeah!

[all playing notes]

Ba-dum.

Ba-dum.

Whoa! Aah! Look out!

Tam-boo-rines.

You can never
tame these things.

This is why I don't
have instruments in my band.

No instruments,
no need to practice.

[giggles and sighs]

Spooky s'mores.

Aah!

I wish we could have
spooky s'mores instead.

[Vampirina]
Hey, Edgar.

-Everything okay?
-[sighs]

I guess I just thought
being a monster musician

would be more about fun
and less about practice.

Being in a band means
working on your music

both on and off stage.

But with plenty of hard work,
I know you'll get there.

Vee, Edgar, you ghouls are
missing my newest air drum solo.

-[giggles]
-Come on.

We'll be in here
when you're ready to try again.

[laughs]
Yeah!

Maybe being in a band doesn't
have to be about hard work.

Well, if it isn't
the newest little human.

-Tired of practicing?
-[sighs]

You have no idea.

How are you in a band
if you don't practice?

In my band, the Boo Boys
follow my every move.

With a little magic,
no hard work necessary.

That means more time for all
the fun you can imagine.

Hmm, I could use another Boo Boy
for the concert tonight.

And you don't even
have to rehearse.

What do you say?

Well, it looks like
it'd be fun.

And easier than practice.

Hm. I'm in!

Make me a Boo Boy.

Screamtastic.

This ghostly spell will give you
all the skill you need.

And give me
even more applause.

[titters]

[Frankenstacey]
All right, guys and ghouls.

It's time for our final
activity of camp:

the big concert.

-Oh, yeah.
-Let's do it.

Has anyone seen Edgar?

I've got you beat
at this performance.

The concert isn't
a competition, Pat.

It's to celebrate what we've
learned today as musicians.

Well, I learned the secret
to your monstrous success:

having a human
in your band.

-A human? What?
-Huh?

-[Vampirina] Edgar?
-Hey, guys.

What's going on?

There's no way my brother
can dance like that.

I recognize that glow.
It's from a copycat spell.

Edgar will follow
Pat's every move

and do what he says
until Pat breaks the spell.

So Edgar's a Boo Boy?

This musician thing
is a total breeze.

I didn't have
to learn anything.

Now I can just enjoy the perks
of monster music life.

I already signed
my first autograph.

But don't you want
to try to learn to sing

or play an instrument?

Or learn your own
dance moves?

Why would he have to?

He has me.

Hyah!

[sighs]
I have to admit,

Pat's got moves.

And so does Edgar.

We are going to be
the hit of camp.

[laughs]

Sorry, Vee,
I wasn't very good

at being an honorary
Ghoul Girl.

It was too hard.

[grunts]
Hey!

Pat, why can't I talk
to my friends?

They're our competition.

We don't want them
getting the applause.

It's for us.

That's what being in a band
is really about.

Fame, fans and fun.

I have a batty feeling
about this.

I know becoming a monster
musician is hard work,

but Edgar can't really want
to be controlled by Pat.

We'd better help him.

[grunts]

Fame, fans and fun.

[laughs]

I think I have an idea.

[Frankenstacey]
Put your paws and claws together

for Poltergeist Pat
and the newest Boo Boy, Edgar!

[crowd cheers]

[dance music plays]

-Yay, Edgar!
-Go, Edgar!

Hey.

Go, Edgar!

-What's going on?
-[snaps fingers]

[Vampirina]
Yay, Edgar!

Hey, what's the big idea?

I can't move!

-[snaps fingers]
-Hey!

I can't see anything
from up here.

Pat!

You said this would be
all about monster fun.

My band, my rules.

Let's give it up
for the Boo Boys,

but especially our special guest
at camp,

Edgar Peepleson!

[crowd cheers]

[Demi]
You go, ghoul!

-[Vampirina] Yay, Edgar!
-[Gregoria] Way to show them!

What about me?

We're called Poltergeist Pat
and the Boo Boys,

not Edgar and the Boo Boys.

Sorry, Edgar.

Having a human
in my band

isn't going
to work out.

-Fine by me...
-[snaps fingers]

[screams and grunts]

Caught you.

Edgar, are you okay?

Yeah, now that Pat's spell
is broken.

I'm sorry for trying
to find an easier way

to be a musician.

Joining the Boo Boys
was not the monster fun

I thought it'd be.

Now I know you have to earn
all that.

Being in a band
takes a lot of practice,

but it's worth
every monster minute.

You're right.

So if you'll have me,

I'm ready to try again

and work extra hard.

We'd love to have you.

Ready for your first concert
as an honorary Ghoul Girl?

There's still time to show off
what you've learned today

-as a musician.
-And don't worry,

we won't put you
under any spells.

[all]
Aw.

Let's do this.
