[song concludes]

All righty. Everyone in town

has now been prepped

for a point-perfect

Halloween on Friday.

[gasps] We're gonna be late

for school!

Ooh! Let's take the shortcut

through Miss McGravy's old yard.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- In you go!

- [all giggling]

[Kiff] Whee!

[in Dracula accent]

Welcome to Helenween!

Please take a safety kazoo.

Um...

If you get scared

in the haunted house, just blow.

[kazoo sounds]

The the silly sound

reminds you

that it's it's all

just make-believe.

A kazoo for you! And also you.

[kazoo sounds]

Mm. Comforting.

- [Spooky music playing]

- And you.

And also you.

- [spider cackles]

- Ew!

Scary!

- Whoa!

- [kazoo sounds]

I sit atop the stoop

and watch Helen and the pigeons

mingle, mingle.

[imitates pigeon]

I'm a scary woman who wished

I could marry Helen

but died before I could.

Ask me anything.

This whole thing

is Helen themed.

Helen put on the dancing shoes,

and now she can never stop.

- Wow.

- Yeah, no.

Where are you going?

Helen is speaking to you

in the third person.

What are we gonna do now?

I know of a fun hang.

Miss McGravy's house.

Good ol' reliable

Miss McGravy's house will always be

- Sold?

- Sold what?

[Lance] Sold the house!

Done deal! And I only

got my realtor's license last week!

[brakes squeal]

Taryn, Ta, look at this dump!

- What did you make us buy?

- Dump?

You have no vision, Marcus.

Whimsical tire swing?

Out of here.

We rip out the grass

and put in plastic turf.

Mm! I can smell

the plastic already.

Old rickety fence

that any grimy little kid

could crawl through?

No. Reinforced concrete?

Beautiful.

Ugh! That tree house?

It's hideous.

Oh, We'll get rid of that.

What do we want

a tree house for? [chuckles]

To hold all our wishes

and dreams? [laughs]

We can cut out

the whole tree actually.

I have a lot of outdoor

gym equipment.

Mm. No problem.

I know a guy that could

get that done in a day.

- [Marcus] I got a guy.

- [Lance] No, you gotta use my guy.

But either way,

you could do anything you want

after you pick up the keys

on the 31st.

[chuckles] Halloween.

So, this will all be gone?

Our shortcut? This tree?

That knot in the wood

that resembles Mr. RiPeppa?

So, that's it.

The famous McGravy backyard,

beloved by children

for generations,

will be walled off

and turned into an outdoor gym.

Hmm...

So many memories.

Remember when Trevor got stuck

in the tire swing?

[chuckles] And our annual

leaf pile jumping contest.

And who could forget

the incident with Kiff's ear?

- Aw. Yeah. Yeah.

- Deep cut back story stuff right there.

- It's all there.

- So memorable. Jeez.

Kiff, would you like

to do a reminisce?

[Sentimental music playing]

Kiff, would you like a push?

No, thanks.

But I sure could do with a hug.

[Spooky music playing]

- Hey, Kiff.

- Hey, Bar.

I know it's Halloween and all,

but I'm just not feeling it.

- You still thinking about McGravy's house?

- Yeah. You?

Yeah. Hang on, Trevor's calling.

I'm gonna add him.

- Go for Trev.

- What? No, Trevor, you called me.

I did? Hang on,

Candle's calling.

Trevor, are we meeting at yours

or mine to go trick or treating?

You guys are trick

or treating together?

- Ugh. Hang on.

- Uh. Hello? Did I butt-dial again?

[Rene] Reggie, this always

happens with you.

Wait, is Rene there?

You two are hanging out?

We'll unpack that another day.

I can't believe you're all carrying on

as if everything is normal.

It's all over

for McGravy's tomorrow.

The calendar transition showed

seven days have passed, Kiff.

- That's enough time to mourn and move on.

- Come on, Reggie.

Remember that time

your phone was about to die?

If it weren't

for McGravy's shortcut,

you wouldn't have made it home

in time to plug it in.

This is true.

Maybe we should return

to the old haunt, you know?

- One last time.

- Barry, that's it!

I'm getting the

sense Kiff is about to say,

"I have a plan. Now, listen up."

Trevor, I'm not

that predictable, okay?

I have an idea.

Now, hear me out. [chuckles]

[Upbeat Halloween music

playing]

[Candle] So, just to recap,

we're gonna sacrifice

our Halloween,

and instead of

trick or treating,

we're gonna turn this place

into a haunted house?

Correct, Candle.

No one wants to live in a haunted house.

- So, if we do this right

- We keep our yard.

Bada bing.

We're gonna haunt this place so good,

they'll be too scared to even come back

to this neighborhood.

Okay, everyone's dressed

in their scariest outfit.

Rene! You're

- Uh...

- An egg.

Learning a lot about you, Rene.

Now, let's do this!

Creepy sheets, I like it.

Great idea, Trev.

So, one could say you're a

fan of this idea?

Sure.

So, I just press

this controller, and

Yes, Reggie!

Hey, could you pass me

that screwdriver?

Thanks.

[Tense music playing]

Whoa. This is good stuff,

whoever's on lighting.

Whoops. Sorry.

I think I turned the power off.

That's okay.

Can you turn it back on? It's hard to see.

[gasps] Uh...

Candle?

[breeze blowing]

Hello? Uh...

Full marks, whoever that is

[Tense music playing]

[screams]

- [Tense music playing]

- [screams]

[sighs]

Rene, you scared me.

Eggs.

- [all panting]

- Kiff, we heard you scream.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

Wow, great job, everyone.

The vibe sure is creepy in here.

And just in time, too.

When that yuppie couple arrive

to collect the keys,

we will be ready.

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Reggie, you're a real artist.

I haven't done any doors.

Whoa! Who did this room?

- [Barry] I've never even seen this place.

- Okay.

Very funny, you guys.

Hey, what's this? Little name cards?

This one says "Kiff."

- "Barry."

- You guys, this is not funny.

[door creaks]

[all scream]

I'm starting to think this place

is haunted for real real!

- [screams]

- You think?

Hello?

[cries]

Huh?

Not bad.

- [Party music playing]

- [Trevor] Huh?

Where am I? Is this a party?

- [Music continues]

- [all chuckling]

[clears throat loudly]

- [TV powers on]

- [static sounds]

[Pensive music playing]

[screams]

[grunts]

What?

[gold squeaking]

Oh, my gosh! Help!

[grunts]

Come on.

[grunts] Why isn't this working?

Hello?

[scoffs] What am I, invisible?

I know I'm dressed as a ghost,

but this is ridiculous.

- [chuckles]

- What am I, invisible?

I know I'm dressed as a ghost,

but this is ridiculous.

[all laugh]

That was my joke!

Who are you,

and what do you want?

[Tense music playing]

You you're me, aren't you?

Yes, I'm Old Lady Kiff.

Oh. Okay. Where's Old Man Barry?

Wow, I haven't heard

that name in years.

[cackles maniacally]

No. Barry! Where are you?

[Barry] What?

It's so bright in here.

What is that? I don't like that.

No, just stop.

I can feel every individual hair

on my body. What is this?

Stop that.

[screams]

This isn't real.

[cackles maniacally]

This can't be real.

A kazoo for you!

[kazoo sounds]

[gasps]

- [cackles]

- [kazoo sounds]

It's working!

[breathes heavily]

[kazoo sounds]

That silly sound.

All of this isn't real.

- [gasps]

- [kazoo sounds]

- [breathes deeply]

- [kazoo sounds]

[Barry gasps]

The kazoo! The comforting kazoo!

- Where's Reggie?

- Reg, Come back to us.

- [kazoo sounds]

- [video game music playing]

[sighs] I should probably

get going.

- [Tense music playing]

- We have to get out of this house!

Everybody, this way!

Trevor, what are you doing?

- This is my mom's fan.

- There will be other fans!

- [Music continues]

- [Kiff screams]

[all screaming]

[all scream]

[Music concludes]

How are we gonna get out

of this nightmare house?

Maybe they know.

[Spooky strings playing]

[skittering]

[ghosts whisper] Interlopers.

- [ghost 1] Get out.

- [ghost 2] Get out.

[ghosts] Interlopers.

[ghost 1] Rip Tear

Rip Tear.

[all sigh]

Do you guys remember

how we dug through the fence

to get to the low-hanging tree?

- Yes!

- And do you remember

how we'd crawl over that weird,

lumpy part of the yard?

This is not the time

to do a reminisce, Kiff.

No, Bar, there's that

basement window down there.

There's no glass.

We could escape through that.

- In the basement?

- Trust me.

[grunting]

The basement door won't open.

We could take this

spooky dumbwaiter.

[dumbwaiter squeaks]

I mean, this is fine.

[kazoo sounds]

[Barry] Thank you.

[all yell]

[Candle grunts]

- It's too high!

- Candle!

Candle. I got you.

I got all of you.

[sniffs] Freedom!

Thanks, Kiff.

[grunts] Yup.

[sighs]

[Kiff] Oh, no.

Kiff? Kiff,

can you reach my hand?

[grunting]

I can't reach!

[dumbwaiter rumbling]

- Uh, hold on. I'll be back.

- No, wait! Barry!

[Spooky string music playing]

Here, grab this. Come on.

- [grunts] Kiff!

- Barry, hurry!

Barry? I haven't heard

that name in years.

- [cackles]

- [screams]

No! My safety kazoo!

[Old Kiff cackles]

[screams]

Grab on, Kiff!

[whimpers]

[screams]

- What the heck? What the heck?

- What the heck? What the heck?

- [Rene] We did it!

- [Candle] Yes, we did it!

We were never outside.

- We're never getting out!

- Are we already dead?

[all scream]

- We have you now, interlopers.

- And we're gonna tear and rip.

Rip and tear! Tear and rip!

Rip and tear! Tear and rip!

- Kiff!

- [ghosts] Rip and tear!

Tear and rip!

Please don't rip us up!

This was all my idea!

We just didn't want

those new people

moving in and ruining the place!

Wait, you're not

the new people moving in?

No! No, we're the yard people.

We run through the yard

all the time

- because Miss McGravy said we could.

- [sighs]

Oh, my gosh.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

We thought you were

the new people moving in.

We were trying

to scare them away

by doing a Halloween

haunted house.

That's exactly

what we were doing!

[chuckles] No, no,

we loved Miss McGravy. Great tenant.

But she moved

to Ottoman Flats last month.

But no, yeah, no

This is our house!

But then Wait.

So, those people coming

to pick up the keys

don't really own this place?

Like, legally?

No! That's why we were all like,

"rip and tear"

and "tear and rip," you know?

- To tear up their deed to the house.

- It's an invalid document.

[all sigh]

- Chips?

- [Marcus] Hello? Lance Contract?

We've come to pick up the keys!

He's pulling up.

Ew!

Hey, what are these

little kids doing here?

Get out of my house!

[rumbling, loud roar]

[kazoo sounds]

[all cheer]

Yeah!

Hang on now.

What's going on here?

Well, Lance Contract,

I'll explain everything as I escort you

to your vehicles.

I'll tell you what.

That was a high-quality

haunted house right there.

A point-perfect Halloween.

Almost. We never got to T-or-for Halloween candy.

Yeah, that's disappointing.

- Don't worry about that.

- We know of a fun hang.

[Party music playing]

- We're magic. Let's party!

- We're magic. Let's party!

- Can we come?

- Everyone left Helenween early.

Hello.

Everyone in town

is magically invited.

[all] Yeah!

- [ghost 2] Bring the noise, everybody!

- Yeah!

[End credit music playing]

[Music concludes]

Chirp.
