[Vampirina] "Hide and Shriek."

[giggling]

I'm open!

-Whoo!
-[giggles]

Nice throw.

[panting]

-Got it!
-Not fair.

I'm always the monster in the middle,
and I'm the shortest.

[clears throat]
Technically, I'm the shortest.

[groans] It doesn't count if you can fly.

Don't worry, Gregoria.

My parents won't be back from dinner
for at least another hour.

We have plenty of time before that
to play a different game.

Hey, when your parents are away,

Gregoria and I are in charge,

and what we say goes.

And we say let's play a new game!
[giggles]

What should we play?

Uh, gallopin' ghosts.

Tic-tac-ghost. Duck, duck, ghost.
[chuckles]

How about a game
that doesn't have ghost in the title?

[giggles]

How about we play something we all love?
Hide-and-shriek.

I love hide-and-shriek.

-Oh, let's do.
-Best non-ghost game around.

[gasps] I don't know.

What's wrong? Everyone loves this game.

But I never win at hide-and-shriek.

Wow. Even I've won a game of monster
in the middle,

and I'm two feet tall,

with feet made of stone.

Maybe you shouldn't hide
in the same hamper every time.

It's true. We always find you,
because we always know where to look.

The pressure always gets to me.

The countdown is going,
my mind goes blank,

and I can't think
of any other place to hide.

What if you thought of a place right now,

before I start counting?

Behind the dresser?

Under the bed?

In that drawer?

[gasps] Demi just guessed all my ideas.

Uh, just a little hide-and-shriek pro tip.

Try thinking of a hiding place

without looking at it.

Okay, I've got a place.

Fantastic.

You'll be terrific at hide-and-shriek
before you know it.

...eight Transylvania, nine Transylvania,

ten Transylvania!

Ready or not, here I shriek.

[Vampirina] Huh?

Uh, Bridget, I can see you.

[Bridget] No, you can't.

If I can't see you, you can't see me.

I don't think that's how it works.

Oh, when we said you should try
a different spot,

we meant a completely different spot.

[Bridget sighs sharply] I know.

It's just...

Finding someplace totally new
sounds scary.

So you're afraid
of trying a new hiding place.

I guess I am.

Your house is kinda spooky.

Thanks.

Maybe I should just go home.

No way.

We just have to show you
some of our favorite hiding places,

so you can see that they aren't scary.

-That's right.
-We'll totally show you.

Yeah!

♪ I know the world's
Greatest hiding place ♪

♪ In the cabinet under the sink ♪

♪ But look at that
Big, scary monster face ♪

♪ I swear that I just saw him blink ♪

♪ But Bridget, it's not what you think ♪

Oh.

♪ A cauldron's not any reason
To shriek and scream ♪

♪ A cauldron's not any reason
To shriek and scream ♪

♪ Sometimes, things aren't as scary
As they may seem ♪

♪ I like to hide safely out of sight ♪

♪ Tucked away in this big flower bed ♪

♪ Those flowers could eat me
In just one bite ♪

♪ And look like they haven't been fed ♪

Oh.

♪ They're friendly flowers
See how their smiles beam ♪

♪ They're friendly flowers
See how their smiles beam ♪

♪ Sometimes, things aren't as scary
As they may seem ♪

Or you can hide in my favorite spot.

Look out, Demi. There's a ginormous... Oh!

♪ It's just a mop
There's no reason to shriek and scream ♪

♪ It's just a mop
There's no reason to shriek and... ♪

♪ Sometimes, things aren't as scary
As they may seem ♪

See? Things aren't always
as scary as they seem.

I guess I just let my imagination
get the best of me.

I think I'm ready to find my own
brand-new hiding spot.

Little tip for ya, kid.
Look for someplace dark and quiet.

Yeah, like, uh, inside the walls.

Seeing as you're the only one
who can do that,

it's not really helpful.

[giggles]

We have time for one more round.

-You bet!
-Bring it on!

...eight Transylvania, nine Transylvania,

ten Transylvania!

Ready or not, here I shriek!

[sniffing, barks]

Hmm.

Nice try, Gregoria.

Oh, Wolfie, you gave away my spot.

-[laughs]
-Okay, Wolfie, I love you, too.

I just don't need to cover you
in slobber to say it.

[playful music]

Gotcha!

How'd you find me so fast?

I guess great friends think alike.

It's one of my favorite spots, too.

[giggles]

Also one of the dustiest. [sneezes]

-Gesundheit.
-Thank you.

Huh? Wait a second.

Is that bust supposed to talk?

It is definitely not.

Gotcha, Demi!

Oh, me and my good manners.

At least I beat you two.

So I guess that makes me the winner.

Hold the celebration.
I still haven't found Bridget.

-What? Where's Bridget?
-Oh, my gosh. Really?

Well, it's not like
she could've gone too far.

Yeah, did you check the hamper?

She's not here.

Not in the cauldron.

Not in the hy-dragon-a flowers.

Or in the walls.

And that's weird.

We've looked everywhere. Bridget!

The game's over.

You can come out now.

If Bridget were here right now,

she'd be really freaked out
about now being here right now.

All right, everyone, don't panic.

[giggles] Yeah.

It's not like we completely lost Bridget.

[gasps] Wait, that's exactly
what's happened!

[screaming]

[gasps]

[giggles]

Oh, we can figure this out.

We just have to put ourselves
in Bridget's shoes.

Oh, please, are you kidding?
They'd fall right off.

Have you seen the size of her feet?

No, I mean we have to think like Bridget.

Well, I did say she should look
for someplace dark and quiet.

Great. So, where else would we hide

if we were looking
for someplace dark and quiet?

[all] The basement!

Boris' sock drawer.

Or the basement.

I can see how that might be more likely.
[soft chuckle]

This place sure is dark.

Quiet, too.

Oh, nothing to be scared of.

[shrieks] Cobwebs! Get it off of me!

Not that I'm scared or anything.
[chuckles nervously]

Bridget's hair.

She's definitely down here.

Let's split up and look.

Oh, that means you have to let go of me.

Does it really? [chuckles nervously]

Okay, okay.

Where is she?

I don't know.

[gasps] I found her!

-All right!
-Go, Demi!

Nice one.

I found Pumpkers.

My favorite stuffed pumpkin
from when I was an itty-bitty ghostling.

Uh, what about Bridget?

Oh, Bridget.

Yeah. I didn't find her.

But we've looked everywhere.

Oh, what if we never find her?

[gasps]

[Demi shrieks]
Now, all of you are missing!

Why am I not surprised
your house has a secret door?

All haunted house builders know to put in
at least one secret door,

and surround scream sound.

Makes the house way more valuable.

Found you. Whew!

You also found a secret door.

Oh, yeah, I did. Come on.

[suspenseful music]

Do you really think Bridget went in here?

It doesn't seem like her.

It looks like it.

[Vampirina]
She must've ended up here by accident,

like Demi did.

[comical music]

[roars]

What was that?

Chupacabra?

Ogre, four-headed troll?
It could be anything.

You guys, we can't run away now.

Bridget needs us.

[Vampirina] She's probably terrified.

Well, while we would all just love
to rescue Bridget.

There's just one problem.

We're too scared. Right, Pumpkers?

Oh, Demi's right on this one.

I don't think I can go down there again.

What did we say to Bridget today?

Top of the morning, Bridget.
How's it goin'?

After that.

We told her that sometimes
new things can seem scary,

until you see them
for what they really are.

Oh, right, I remember that now.

Vee's right.

If Bridget was brave enough
to go down there,

we owe it to her to go, too.

Well, when you put it like that.

Fine, but I'm bringing Pumpkers along
to protect me.

I never thought I'd say this,

but we have to be brave like Bridget.

Brave like Bridget.

Brave like Bridget.

[all] Brave like Bridget.

Brave like Bridget.

Brave like Bridget.

Uh-oh.

I felt brave like Bridget
when we were upstairs,

but down here, not so much.

Hold me, Pumpkers.

It's okay, Demi.
We're just scaring ourselves.

[Vampirina] It's all in our heads.

[banging on door]

That wasn't my imagination.

[comical music]

[whimpering] I can't watch.

[gasps] Costumes!

Oh!

What is this place?

It looks like a storage closet
full of Halloween costumes.

[giggles]

Vampires do love Halloween costumes.

And we never get rid of them.

Just another reason I love vampires.

But if there's just a bunch of costumes
in here,

then where's Bridget?

-[roaring]
-[Demi] Oh, oh.

Pumpkers!

[roaring]

Oh, hey, guys.

What do you think of my ogre roar?

Bridget, you're okay.

Of course, I'm okay.

We thought you'd be terrified.

No way.

I'm having so much fun working on my roar

and playing with these costumes.

I guess I kinda forgot
we were playing hide-and-shriek,

after I accidentally found this place.

It is pretty spook-tacular.

I never would've been brave enough
to come all the way down here,

if it wasn't for you, guys.

You were right.

Trying new things really can be fun.

Someday, I'll be as brave as all of you.

I'm pretty sure that
you are the brave one today.

And also, the winner of hide-and-shriek.

Really? No way.

I might've just found a new favorite game.

And I might've found
a new favorite costume.

Look at me. I'm a gargoyle,

and I'm super grumpy. [giggles]

Not as grumpy as you're gonna be.

I'm gonna play a solo game
of shriek-and-hide.

First, I'm gonna shriek,
then I'm gonna hide.

[laughs]

Come on, Pumpkers, we gotta go

[laughter]

-Ooh, awesome!
-Now, look at that.

-You got this one.
-Ooh.

[Vampirina] "The Little Witch."

Oh, do you think this corner
is cozy enough?

Hmm.

Penelope will add the perfect
final touch of spookiness.

-[groans]
-[gasps, laughs]

Like I said, perfect for our guests.
I think we're ready.

Ready for what, Papa?

For the most important guests
our Scare B&B has ever had.

The bravest witches
in Transylvanian history.

Desmond and Alice Ravenson.

Cool... I guess.

I never heard of them.

Oh, they're legendary.

They saved an entire town
from an attack of haunted weeds.

It was a hot summer night,

when Desmond and Alice Ravenson

heard cries echoing
from Trollville Castle.

Help! Ooh, help!

[giggling]

So Desmond and Alice hopped
on their brooms

and followed the cries.

Ooh. Oops.

I forgot, I can't fly a broom.
Ha-ha. Continue, dear.

But the haunted weeds
were already creeping towards the castle.

I'm a monstrous weed. [growling]

[laughing] Mama.

Desmond and Alice fearlessly flew
over the monstrous weeds,

then transformed into cats
to get into the castle!

-They cast a spell against the weeds...
-[meows]

We're melting.

Melting 'cause of the spell. Melting.

And saved the town!

And that's why they're national heroes.

Wow. I can't wait to meet them.

Oh, frogs and fangs.

They should be here any minute.

How do I look?

-Scary.
-Mm, good.

Have you seen them, Gregoria?

With my own stone eyes.

There they are.

[Demi] The Ravensons!

Hurry along, Phoebe.

[spooky music]

[Vampirina] Wow!

Boris, old chap, thank you for having us.

[yelling]

-Watch out!
-[gasps]

-[Oxana gasps]
-[Phoebe] Coming in for a landing.

[thuds]

Whoopsie willows.

Love how hard you're working
to stick that landing.

This is our daughter Phoebe.
She's a witch-in-training.

Hi, Phoebe. I'm Vampirina.

Hello. Enchanted to meet you.

Oh, she's cuter
than an ooey-gooey baby toad.

We are just thrilled to have you all here.

I'll show you to your room.

[sighs] Well, we could use
a quick catnap after our journey.

What about you, love?

I'm not sleepy at all.

Can I stay and play with Vampirina?

Of course.

Desmond, Alice, let me show you
to your gloomy room.

I'm glad you're here, Phoebe.

It's not every day
Transylvanian friends come to visit.

Wanna play with my Scream Girl dolls?

Wow! You have FrankenStacey?

I have Witchy Willow,
but I left her at home.

She comes with a sparkly broom.

Speaking of brooms, how about we,
I don't know, go for a ride?

I love these things.

Boy, do I miss this...

[yelling]

[thuds]

[groaning]

Maybe we can go flying later.

I'm not very good yet.

That's okay. We can play
something else like...

[gasps] ...Transylvania tag.

I'll be a bat, and you can be a cat.

And, uh, it's a stretch,

but I can be a ghost. Shazam!

A cat? Oh, right.

Sure. Here I go.

Ready?

One, two, two and a half...

two and three toads.

Oh!

Phoebe, are you okay?

It's... it's just...

I'm a terrible witch.

I'm sure that's not true.

But it is.

Truer than turtle toes.

But your parents are the greatest witches
in Transylvania.

How could you be a terrible witch?

I don't know.

But I'm not a very good flyer,

and I've never transformed
into a cat, ever.

I'm not like my mom and dad at all.

♪ I'd hop on my broom and up I'd fly ♪

♪ I'd zip and zoom
Across the nighttime sky ♪

♪ Sailing on the breeze
Not crashing into trees ♪

♪ Yes, that's the witch I want to be ♪

Or...

♪ I would cast a spell,
No, spells galore ♪

♪ They would work out well,
Not like before ♪

♪ No mistaken words
That turn your friends to birds ♪

♪ Yes, that's the witch I want to be ♪

♪ No more spells gone bad ♪

♪ That may have shrunk my mom and dad ♪

♪ Someday they will see ♪

♪ The spellerific witch I dream I'll be ♪

♪ If I could break the norm
Oh, imagine that ♪

♪ Finally transform
Into a cute black cat ♪

♪ And then my parents
Would be proud of me ♪

♪ Oh, that's the witch I want to be ♪

You know, I wasn't great
at doing vampire things at first.

-Really?
-Yeah.

It took me a long time
to be able to transform into a bat,

and I still get the batties
when I'm nervous.

But I tried and tried to turn into a cat.

Can you tell me how you transformed?

Sure. I close my eyes,

take a deep breath, and jump into the air.

Try it.

Okay.

Closing my eyes.

[groans] Meow? Am I a cat?

Well, not seeing a tail or whiskers.

Or a cat-like sense of superiority.

I can't do it.

Every witch can turn into a cat.

Well, maybe it's because
you're thinking too much like a witch

instead of like a cat. [chuckles]

Watch and learn. Stand back.

Ta-da! [giggles]

Could you tell what I was thinking like?

A ghost. And see, now I am a ghost.

See how that works?

Uh, it's time for a gargoyle idea.

Translation, a good idea.

[playful music]

It says here, if you're having trouble
transforming into a cat,

spin around three times
while holding a sprig of honey root,

and say meow.

I guess I can do that.

One meow, two meow, three meow!

I'm not a cat, am I?

No, but your meows are pretty realistic.

How am I gonna be a brave witch someday

if I can't turn into a cat?

My mom and dad can do everything.

Flying, transformations, spells.

Hey, witches are great at spells.

Maybe that's what you're good at.

Spells?

Do you really think so?

It's worth a try.

You can even put a spell on me.

Oh, okay.

What spell should I do?

Oh, I'll pick one.

Let's see. No. Let's see. Let's see.

Oh, you should turn Gregoria
into a glitter fairy.

Keep lookin'.

[giggles] Or how about this one?

The honey bunny spell.

Okay. Phoebe, transform me into a bunny.

Make me look cute, but not too cute.

Oh, and give her
one of those adorbs cottontails.

What? Hmm...

Okay. Yeah, one of those, too.

I'll try.

Okay, here I go.

Hocus pocus,

sage and honey.

Turn this gargoyle into a bunny.

[both gasp]

[chittering]

-Oh, no!
-Yikes!

Close, but not a bunny.

And not Gregoria, which is really too bad.

Leapin' lizard legs, what did I do?

Oh, you turned
the world's greatest witches

into a couple of backyard squirrels.

Mom, Dad, is that you?

[both chittering]

Oh, wiggle warts.

I really am the worst witch
in the whole world.

We can fix this.

All you have to do is a reverse spell.

But what if I do that wrong, too?

You won't. You can't.

I mean, it would be really, really bad,

so, um, I know you can do it.

[chittering]

Hocus pocus, alaka...

[Wolfie barking]

-[chittering]
-[barking]

Oh, no, Wolfie loves squirrels.

And by loves,
she means loves to chase them,

and catch them.

-Get Wolfie. Quick!
-Oh, no.

Stop, Wolfie.
Those aren't just any squirrels.

Oh, no, no, no!

Wolfie, stop! Gargoyle's orders.

[groans]

-[Gregoria] Stop, Wolfie.
-[Vampirina] Wolfie, come here, boy.

Wolfie! Whoa, whoa.

Comin' through! [groans]

[gasps]

[playful music]

-[barking]
-Stop, Wolfie!

Uh-oh, things just went from bad to batty.

-[Gregoria] Bad dog! Wolfie!
-[Demi] Stop!

Phoebe, you've got to do something.

Me?

I'm not a witch,
so I'm not as good at spells.

But I know you can save them.

Okay, I can do this.

[Wolfie barking]

Hey, Wolfie, stop. That is my mom and dad.

[breathes deeply, grunts]

-[hisses]
-[whimpering]

You did it!

You turned into a cat!

I really did.

Just like my mom and dad.

Vee, is everything all right in here?

Wolfie only hides under the bed

when he sees my kitten sweater...
[shrieks]

Good goblins, Desmond and Alice,
is that you?

Why in the name of Dracula
are they squirrels?

It was my fault.

I was practicing my spells and...

It was meant for me.

Uh, psh. Magical mishap.
Happens to the best of us.

Oh, our poor guests.

I haven't done wand work in years.

Who's going to turn them back?

Phoebe is.

I know you can do it.

[dreamy music]

Hocus-pocus, alakazad.

Turn these squirrels back to Mom and Dad.

-Oh!
-You did it!

[overlapping dialogue]

-That's better.
-What happened?

Mom, Dad, I'm sorry
for turning you into squirrels.

I was just trying
to be a great witch like you.

But all I did was make a big mess.

Darling, you are a great little witch...

one who's been practicing hard every day,

and we're so proud of you.

You are?

Of course, we are.

You transformed into a cat

and performed a reverse spell to save us.

[sighs] That's what brave witches do.

But we love you
no matter how great or brave you are.

We love you for you.

[light music]

Thank you for the enchanting visit.

Come back soon!

Thanks for helping me be a better witch.

I'll never forget you, Vampirina.

We won't forget you either, Phoebe.

[closing theme music]
