[Vampirina] "Countess Vee."

-Vee's here!
-Hi, Demi.

I repeat, Vee is here.

Let me take those for you.

Right this way, Vee.

Oh, I mean "Your Vee-ness."

Or is it "Your Spooky-ness"?

Oh! "Your Batty-ness"!

Terror Truffles for my Vee.

And for the main course,
my famous monster lobster!

Okay, something weird's going on,

and I usually like weird.

Vee, Mama and I received
some fang-tastic news from Transylvania

[clears throat] "It is with great shrieks
of fright and delight

that we announce that your daughter,
Vampirina Hauntley,

has been selected as the next
Countess of Spookelton Castle!"

Me?

A real Transylvanian countess?!

-Like Count Dracula?
-That's right, batkins.

It turns out your Uncle Dieter

comes from a long line
of counts and countess,

and he named you his heir.

Which means you're next in line!

Like Transylvanian royalty!

Oh! There's even gonna be
a ceremony at the castle

and we're all going.
I've already picked out my outfit.

Wow! Me! Countess Vee! I can't believe it!

But before the ceremony, love,
all countesses have to pass a test.

What kind of test?

Ah, probably just your standard
vampire countess test,

how to be in charge of a castle,
magical creature knowledge...

you know, monster basics.

-But we'll help you, Vee!
-Thanks!

Maybe Poppy and Bridget can help me too.

[gasps] I can't wait to tell them!

[Poppy] You're going to be a countess?

That's like a princess!

Kind of, only spookier! And really ghouly!

You know, monster stuff.

"Countess Vee."
I can't believe I know you!

[gasps] I should get your autograph
while I still can!

Thanks! But before I become a countess,
I have to pass a test.

So I thought my best friends could help!

Okay, Countess Vee,
you can call me Sir Demi. [giggles]

"Sir Demi"? I don't know about that.

Maybe I should handle this.

Oh, no need.
I totally got this. [chuckles]

Now, I'm guessing countesses
have their own pack of werewolves,

so you're going to have to know
how to command them.

Allow me to demonstrate
with, uh, one werewolf

and a kitty cat!

Okay, little werewolfies, stay.

-[hissing]
-[barking]

-Oh, Wolfie! Sit! Stay!
-[girls laughing]

Let me show you how it's done.

Wolfie! Get your fuzzy tail over here.

-[barking]
-[Gregoria] Now stay!

-Hmm!
-Your turn, Vee.

Okay! Wolfie, pounce!

-Pounce boy!
-[barks]

[laughing] Wolfie! Not me!

You got this, Vee.

Wolfie, pounce!

-[barks]
-Oh! Why am I the pouncing target?

But that worked. It totally worked!

Are you ready, shriekikins?

If we leave now, we'll catch a nice wind

and get there early before the ceremony.

Do you really think I'm ready
to be a countess?

Of course! You're my little Vee!

-You can do anything and be anything.
-Thanks, Papa!

-Good luck, Vee!
-Go be amazing!

Girls, you can save that for the ceremony.

You didn't think we'd let Vee's
best friends miss this, did you?

Your parents already know
you're coming with us.

[Poppy and Bridget] Really?

-Yay!
-Yay! We get to go!

I'm so happy, I could... do that!

So, I guess, let's go!

Awesome!

[Boris] Here we are! Spookelton Castle.

Where is everybody?

You'd think coming with the guest of honor

we'd be greeted with more pomp
and spookenstance.

Hello?

-[disembodied voice] Hello!
-Nothing. Just my lovely echo.

[disembodied voice] Welcome! Whoo!

And there it is again.
Wait a second! What was that?

Look!

You must be Vampirina Hauntley.

Hi. That's me! You can call me "Vee."

I see you've brought some friends.

Two humans? Very interesting!

Oh, yeah, they're my best friends.

Eerie good!

I'm Madam Spook, ghostess of the castle.

I will be escorting you to your test.

Right. The test.

I think I'm ready.

Then we mustn't delay.

Hey! How'd she do that?

I mean, I know how she did that,
but where'd she go?

-Do you think it's part of the test?
-It might be.

Then you'd better go.

We'll meet you at the ceremony.

The next time we see you,
you'll be a countess.

Good luck, Vee.

You're gonna be the best countess I know!

Well, you'll also be
the only countess I know,

which is pretty cool.

Thanks, everyone.

Here I go!

Oh! I always get nervous before tests.

You're not the one who's taking the test.

True. But I bet Vee could use
some ghost and gargoyle support.

Come on!

Ow! Made of stone, remember?

[whimpers] Told ya I get nervous
before tests.

This must be the first test.

Indeed.

Your first task is to demonstrate
how you handle a broom

with ghoulness and grace.

Ghoulness and grace?

I know how to fly,
if that's what you mean.

[Vampirina] Woo-hoo!

[giggles]

[cackles]

How'd I do?

Oh, that was certainly... [giggling]

...different.

Most countesses float, not zoom.

Your next test.

Isn't there anything
with commanding werewolves?

Or that sort of thing? [chuckles]

I'm really good with animals.

Vampirina, that's for advanced countesses.

This test is...

monster music!

Oh, this I've got!

A one, a two, a one, two, three!

[guitar and drum music plays]

I'm usually not a one-vampire act.

I'm in a band,
Vampirina and the Ghoul Girls.

Yes, ooh!

Very unexpected.

Most countesses play the haunted harp.

[harp music playing]

They do?
Well, I guess I could give it a try.

-[Spook giggles]
-Whoa!

[harp music playing]

Ghastly goblins!

No one's ever played it like that before.

Is that bad?

It's just different.

-[chuckles]
-Very different!

Our countesses usually stick to tradition.

However, you have completed each task.

So, did I pass the test?

Vampirina, it tingles my spine to say

you've done things quite differently,

but you've passed!

I did? Yeah!

-[sighs]
-I knew she had it in her!

I'm pretty excited!

And so is my family.

I bet I'll be the only countess
in Pennsylvania.

[chuckles] Heavens!

Vampirina, becoming a countess means

you and your family
will live in Transylvania now!

After all, you'll be a countess forever.

Forever?

She should be down any minute.

[gasp] There she is!

[all gasp]

Darling, you look enchanting!

[sniffles] It feels like only last century
she was just a little baby bat!

Take your seats, everyone.

I will escort our countess in.

-Good luck, Vee.
-Thanks, Poppy.

Madame Spook?

About this whole
being-a-countess-forever thing,

can I ever change my mind?

Once you're a countess,
you're always a countess.

There's no time for other things.

So, I can only be a countess.

Indeed.

This is who you are now!

[crowd cheer, applause]

Monsters of Spookelton, welcome!

It is now time to enchant you
with our newest countess!

Ghosts and ghouls, witches and werewolves,

I now present to you

-Countess Vamp...
-Wait!

-Oh, no.
-Vee?

[Gregoria] Huh?

I'm sorry, everyone, but...

I don't think I want to become a countess.

At least not right now.

The thing is,

I'm barely two centuries old.

I don't know what I wanna be
when I grow up just yet.

♪ I could be a critternarian ♪

♪ Treat creatures by the score ♪

♪ A professor of horror
A daring explorer ♪

♪ And go where no monster
Has gone before ♪

♪ Oh, what does the world have
In store for me? ♪

♪ There are so many things
I could be ♪

♪ I could be A monster scientist ♪

♪ What potions I'd invent ♪

♪ A world famous rocker
A star at spook soccer ♪

♪ Or the very first vampire president ♪

♪ Oh, what does the world
have in store for me? ♪

♪ There are so many things I could be ♪

♪ Or maybe a countess is the way to go ♪

♪ But right now ♪

♪ I just don't know ♪

♪ The future's full of possibility ♪

♪ There are so many things I could be ♪

Madame Spook,

becoming a countess sounds amazing,

but I have to turn it down.

I hope you'll understand.

You do things a bit differently,
Vampirina.

And that's a good thing.

There's always a place for you
at Spookelton.

If you change your mind,
don't be afraid to let us know.

[chuckles] Don't worry.
I'm not afraid of anything.

Indeed. Whatever you become,

I know you'll be spooktacular!

Mama, Papa, I'm sorry.

I hope I didn't let you down.

You could never let us down, batkins.

That was the bravest thing I've ever seen.

We are so proud of you.

Ah, sure, it would've been nice
to know a countess,

but now I'm thinking bigger.

[giggles] Doctor Vampirina.

Captain Vee! No, no, wait, I've got it!

President Vee!

Vice-President Demi.

[all laughing]

That sounds spooktacular, Demi,

but, for now, I think
I'm just gonna be me.

Just Vee.

[Vampirina] "Fright, Camera, Action."

[Mr. Gore] All right, moviemakers.

It's time to sign up
for the student film festival.

If you've ever dreamed of making a movie,

or maybe being an action star...

[grunting]

Oh. [clears throat]

Anyway, this is your chance
to show off your filmmaking talents.

We'll show all the finished movies
next week and pick the winner.

Are you going to sign up
for the film festival, Edgar?

You're the best moviemaker I know.

You better believe I am!

It's time I take the skills
I've learned from making my webshow,

Weekly Weirdness , to the next level,
the big screen!

I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna win the festival.

If anyone can do it,
it's my camera-crazy brother.

You need any help?

Yeah! We could be your crew.

What's a crew?

They help the director make the movie.

You see their names go by
really fast at the end.

That could be us! On the big screen!

But hopefully not too big.

-Hurts my eyes.
-Well,

I was gonna make the movie by myself,

but this is a big one.

So, okay! I'd love your help!

I already know exactly
what kind of movie I wanna make...

-A monster movie!
-Huh?

I know more about monsters
than probably anyone in the entire world.

What about the actual monsters that...

I mean, uh...

You are the expert. [laugh]

A monster movie?

Um, maybe I signed up
a little too quickly.

Don't worry, it won't be scary.

It'll be funny, and full of action.

Our movie's gonna be the best!

There you go, my little moviemakers.

As they say in Transylvania,
"Break a wing."

Thanks, Mama.

Everyone ready to go to set?

-Let's do this!
-Yeah!

Ooh! And where are you going

with all those
spookylicious-looking snacks?

We're helping Edgar make a monster movie
for the school film festival.

Well that's funny,
because I just saw Edgar in the backyard,

and it looked like he already
started making the movie.

He already started?

Without us?

[Edgar] Lights, camera... action!

[in deep voice] Ooh. I don't care
if these woods are scary,

I'm going for my hike.

-[barking]
-[Edgar] No, Wolfie, no!

-Cut!
-[Vee] Hey, Edgar!

Your crew's here!

Why'd you start without us?

[sighs] I'm just used
to making my movies alone.

I guess I got nervous about
doing it differently,

but it's clearly not working.

-[panting]
-[grunts] Werewolf breath!

So, I'd still love to work together,
if that's okay.

Of course! Let's make a movie.

[barks]

I'm not sure I'm cut out
for show business.

Okay, picture this.

It's called "Night of the Haunted Hike,"

and it's about some friends
who go into the woods

and run into the scariest
of all monsters...

[whispers] A vampire!

[snickers] That does sound scary.

But you know,
maybe not all vampires are scary.

Uh, but this one probably is,
'cause it's your movie,

and you know monsters.

Okay, time to pick my cast.

That's moviespeak
for who's gonna play what part.

First, for the vampire,

the only person who could
possibly pull off this part is...

my sister, Poppy.

-Huh?
-Really?

Uh, just curious,

you didn't think I'd be good
for the vampire part?

No way! The vampire has to be scary,

and believe me, Poppy can be scary.

Especially when her hair is messy
first thing in the morning.

-Hey!
-[snickers]

Actually, that's true.
Major morning frizz.

Vee and Bridget, you'll play the hikers.

And I'll use your statue
as the helpful troll

they meet along the way.

Troll?
Just once I'd like to play a princess.

Okay everyone, let's get rolling!

That's moviespeak for "Let's start."

And you're hiking, and you're hiking...

Okay, now pet the dog.

-[barks]
-[giggling]

That wasn't in the script, Wolfie!

But...

I liked it! This is looking awesome!

[Edgar in deep voice] Beware, hikers!

When it gets dark, there be vampires
in the neck of the woods.

And if ya have peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches,

ya best be careful,

because vampires love peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches.

Thanks for the warning, forest troll,
but we're not scared.

Come on! Let's find a good spot
to eat our supper.

Cut! We got it. Perfect!

Perfect? [scoffs]

I don't sound anything like that.

[imitating Edgar]
"There be vampires in these woods."

It's completely out of character.

And...

action!

It's getting dark.

Maybe we should stop and have our picnic.

Do you think we should be
scared of vampires?

Maybe! Legend has it these woods are...

haunted!

Cut! That's a wrap for tonight.

That's moviespeak for "Time to go home."

Tomorrow night,
we'll sh**t the big finale.

Okay, everybody, this is it.

Tomorrow's the festival,
and we have one more thing to sh**t...

the final scene with the vampire.

Great. I'm ready!

I mean, uh, Poppy's ready.

[giggles] Yep! My big moment.

Here's how I picture it,

Vee and Bridget,
you are enjoying your picnic,

when in comes Poppy as the vampire.

And you have to act really scared.

-Won't be a problem for me.
-Perfect.

Then I'll come in as the troll

and give the vampire
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

The vampire takes the sandwich
and vanishes into the woods.

The day is saved, thanks to the troll.

So I'm the hero in the end?

Oh, now, that's more like it.

[Edgar] Okay! Places, everyone!

Action!

I am a vampire of the woods,
and I smell sandwiches!

Vee and Bridget, you're scared.

Check this scream out.

[screams] Oh, dear!

Now, time for the troll.

[grunting]

[Edgar in deep voice]
You leave these here girls alone

and take this instead.

[screaming] That hurt!

-Whoa! No!
-Watch out, Edgar!

[gasp] Demi!

-Edgar!
-Sorry! I got hungry!

-[Edgar grunting]
-Time to make a dramatic exit.

Aw, man, that was terrible.

There's no way we're gonna win
the festival with that ending.

Don't worry,
let's just do the scene again.

Yeah, take two.
Like they say in the movies.

I don't know.
This ending might be too much.

I'm thinking too big.

Edgar it's gonna be totally great!

Poppy's right.

I bet we can fix it
if we put our heads together.

But I ruined the last scene!

[sighs] Maybe you're better off
with another director.

But what about the festival?

I'm sure someone will make
a good monster movie,

but it won't be me.

[Edgar] I'm out.

Wow, I feel bad for my brother.
I thought it was great.

What do we do now?

We're so close to finishing it.

And what about me?

We didn't even get to my big moment.

And I've been waiting 473 years
for my big moment!

I bet it's not as bad as Edgar thinks.

- Whoa, no!
- Watch out, Edgar!

Oh, no!

[Vampirina] Uh-oh! Look!

-Demi!
-Not good!

Did somebody call me to set? [giggles]

Huh. I think I coulda used
some more color in my cheeks.

Sorry, Demi, but this definitely
can't be in the movie.

[laughs] I knew Demi wasn't cut out
for show business.

I mean... But I mean, a ghost on camera?

That's bad. Real bad.

What are we gonna do?

The only thing we can do,
reshoot the final scene!

Do you think we can do it?

My brother's pretty picky
when it comes to monster movies.

Then we'll just use
a touch of real monster magic

to make it the best monster movie ever.

Poppy, can you work the camera?

Sure, but who's gonna play the vampire?

I think I know someone with the right look

and fangs.

All right, then.

Our last movie of the day is... Edgar.

Ready to premiere your monster movie?

Actually, Mr. Gore,
I don't have a movie to show.

I started it, but I didn't finish.

Actually, Edgar, your movie's right here.

We all pitched in and finished it.

I even added some special effects.

But how is it?

I think it's pretty terrorific,
like we say in Transylvania.

Hope you like it!

[Vampirina] Night of the Haunted Hike!

[panting]

[Edgar in deep voice] Beware hikers,

because vampires love
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

[all laughing]

-Yeah, man!
-[shrieks]

- Beware!
-[thunder crashes]

I am the vampire of the woods,

and I smell peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches.

[Gregoria] You leave
these here girls alone

and take this instead.

[boy] Yeah, man!

Did you like it?

Like it? Are you kidding?

It was the best monster movie ever!

Okay, time to announce the winner
of the film festival.

[exhales] The whole class voted,
and the winner is...

Edgar, Vee, Poppy, and Bridget

-for their wonderfully spooky film
-[class cheering]

- Night of the Haunted Hike.
-[Edgar] We won?

Thanks, Mr. Gore. I can't believe this.

Guys, we did it!

Vee, anything you wanna say?

Speech! Speech!

[giggles] Thanks. Well, as a monster...

Uh, I mean, uh, a monster movie fan,

it was really spooktacular
making this together.

Totally. If there's one thing I learned,

it's that if you wanna make
something awesome,

sometimes you need your friends to help.

-[class cheering]
-Yay!

The special effects looked so real!

How did you do that?

Uh...

I learned it
back in Transylvania! [chuckles]

Special effects are really popular there.

Cool! Because I already have
an idea for my next movie.

-What is it?
-Another monster movie!

And what's scarier than one vampire?

A family of vampires!

Crazy idea, right?

Oh yeah. Completely crazy.

[all laughing]

[closing theme music]
