[Scary laughter]

Ow-woooo... [Cough, cough].

Greetings, fright fans.

As you can see, I'm having

A howling good time trying

My hand at shadow play.

Hee-hee-hee!

Ha-ha-ha!

Vaultkeeper, what are

You doing here in my crypt?

The same thing I'd be doing

Anywhere, cryptkeeper.

Upstaging you!

Now, there's a shady

Operator if I've ever seen

One.

Take that!

Ohhh...

Oh, yeah?

Well, no one upstages me,

Especially not you!

Haaa!

Hee-hee-hee!

Maybe not.

Beat you again, you silly

Sack of bones.

Ohhh...

Ah-ha-ha-ha!

Oooh... Oh, I say.

What... Oh, no!

Well, since he's tied up,

Today's twisted tale is

About a young boy who wanted

To get even.

I call it..."The avenging

Phantom."

Hee-hee-hee!

[Crossing bells sounding]

[Train whistle sounding]

Aaahhh!

Aaahhh!

Kristin, I told you never,

Ever do that!

I'm just trying to help

You, jimmy.

It's time to grow up and stop

Being such a big baby!

Come on, jimmy, try sleeping

With the light off just once.

I can't, kristin.

It's a... It's a sleeping

Disorder.

Afraid of the dark is what

You mean.

I don't care what anybody

Says!

It stays on!

Yeah?

And I'm just tired of having

A wimp for a little brother!

Ahhh!

Ohhh...

That's... Um... 20 Bottles.

Twenty-five.

Whatever.

[Gasp!]

That's all?

But the bottles are worth

Twice that!

Take it or leave it.

Put 'em where they belong.

And don't try to steal

Anything.

I'm not stealing; I'm

Buying.

Get away from me!

You pay up!

Stealing from her?

Hah!

She's the one that's always

Ripping me off!

I wish there was another way

Home.

[Gasp!]

Aaahhh!

Closed?

Aaahhh!

Hello, gordon.

I keep tellin' ya, creep,

It ain't gordon.

It's smash.

See?

Kinda like a "kick me"

Sign, isn't it?

Uhhh!

You're using my gate again.

It's not your gate.

I say it is, and it costs

You a buck every time you use

It.

Yeah?

Well, I used the fence.

My fence, too.

Also a buck?

You got it.

No, I don't.

Tomorrow you owe me two

Bucks, creep!

Uhhh!

I wish... I wish I had

An avenging phantom.

A real one with the power

To get even with my enemies.

Aaahhh!

Aaahhh!

[Whimpering]

Will ya just look at all

The wonderful bottles this

Fine young man has brought us.

How many?

Twelve.

Ah, looks more like 20

To me.

Ha-ha-ha!

Thanks!

I'm helping out until

She... Gets better.

Here.

A hard-working bottle

Collector like you needs

His nourishment.

Thanks!

Things are looking up!

I don't get it.

Where's the dog?

Huh?

[Barking]

What ya got there, fella?

[Gasp!]

[Whimpering]

Gordon?

Smash?

[Whimpering]

Smash!

No!

[Gasp!]

Wh-who...

[Gasp!]

I am shadow.

But wh-what are you doing

H-here?

You wished it.

No, I didn't!

You wished for a phantom...

An avenging phantom to get

Even with those who treat

You badly.

You did that to the store

Lady and the dog and...

And gordon!

That is what you wanted.

I want you to go back where

You came from!

Did you hear me?

I said I want you to...

You cannot control me once

I am here.

Aaahhh!

I only exist for revenge.

I will get even with

Your enemies.

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

[Knock at door]

Jimmy, do you know what

Time it is?

All your enemies!

No, don't come in!

What's going on in there?

Jimmy?

I'm going to count to ten

And you'd better be dressed,

'Cause I'm coming in.

No, kristin, no!

One...

Ha-ha-ha!

Two...

Three...

Stop!

Four...

Five...

Or I'll... I'll turn it

Off!

Where there's no light,

There's no shadow!

Seven...

No, you won't.

You fear the dark even more

Than you fear me.

Nine...

Ten!

Aahhh!

I don't believe it!

You turned off the light!

I'm very proud of you.

I know how tough it must have

Been.

You don't know the half

Of it!

Now jimmy knows what it's

Like to be afraid of his own

Shadow.

Hee-hee-hee!

Getting a good night's sleep

Turned out to be a lot more

Important than getting

Revenge.

Oh, no, I say!

Aahh... Nooo!

Too bad he couldn't hang

Around for the second half

Of today's double creature

Feature... A hiss-terical

Story I call..."Myth

Conceptions."

Hee-hee-hee!

Ach-hem.

Aaahhh!

Who's there?

What are you looking for?

Ahhh... You startled me,

Little girl.

My name is zola.

All right, zola.

How do you know I'm looking

For something?

People usually dig

For a reason.

You're a bright one, ain't

Ya?

So, tell me, you're

From the village.

What do you know of... Medusa?

Medusa?

Well, the legends say that

She was a gorgon, a monster

With snakes for hair.

It is believed that thousands

Of years ago, the gorgon

Medusa terrorized the people

Of ancient greece.

The bravest warriors attempted

To slay the demon, only

To have their lives tragically

Ended because her face was

So hideous... One look would

Turn them into stone.

But brave perseus was going

To change all that.

Perseus carried with him

A shield made of solid

Gold... Polished to a mirror

Sheen.

Perseus intended to avoid

The gorgon's petrifying gaze

By looking only at

Her reflection in his golden

Shield.

And with one mighty sweep...

Ha-ha-ha!

[Gasp!]

That's what most people

Believe.

But I believe perseus failed,

And that somewhere in this

Very cave lies his golden

Shield, worth more than

Your entire village.

Ha-ha... Don't be silly.

It's a myth, a legend.

Medusa never existed.

You're wrong!

They're all wrong!

And I'll prove it!

You're wasting your time.

We'll see about that,

My little friend.

I'll buy that girl's village,

Plough it under, and build

A... Huh?

[Gasp!]

Ah-ha-ha-ha!

Medusa!

Aaahhh...

Aaahhh!

Medusa's temple!

I've never seen so many

Twists... Turns.

It's almost... Yuck...

Snake-like.

Aaah!

Aaahhh!

[Gasp!]

Aaahhh...

Statues.

It's not a myth!

Medusa existed!

And if I'm right, so does

My prize!

[Gasp!]

The golden shield of perseus!

I was right!

You, perseus, were

No different from all

The rest.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

No match for the...

Leave it!

Aaahhh!

Why, you almost scared me

To death, you little...

It is not yours!

What, the shield?

It belongs here.

Don't be ridiculous.

I didn't spend my life looking

For this, only to give it up

Because some little girl

Thinks otherwise.

No, you must leave it!

Out of my way!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

The stairs!

But I could have sworn this

Was the way!

Zola, you're not scaring me!

There has to be a way out!

Ha-ha-ha...

[Gasp!]

Who's there?

Answer me!

Ha-ha-ha...

Zola, it's you, isn't it?

Blocked!

Is it possible?

Medusaaaaa!

So you see, you were half

Right.

Medusa was the good guy.

She stood against would-be

Plunderers like perseus, who

Came to take what wasn't

Theirs.

And like perseus...

And you...

They paid the price.

Ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha!

So, I guess zola certainly

Tipped the scales.

Her little game of

Hairum-scarum really rattled

The thief.

Only her scare-dresser knows

For sure!

Hee-hee-hee!

So, until next time, boas

And coils... [Cough, cough]...

If you think these jokes are

Cheesy, go ask myth

Gorgon... Zola!

She thought they were rather

Goud-a!

Ooof!

Ha-ha-ha-ha...
