(quiet chiming music) (monster grunting)
(light music) (fire crackling)
(thudding) (gasps)
- He's here!
(ornaments clinking) (light music)
Santa?
(monster growls)
(screams)
(intense music)
(gags)
- [Dad] Kenley, Delaney, is that you?
(ornaments clink) (footsteps patter)
(eerie music)
- Kenley. (sobs)
And every year, Walter comes back
to take more and more children like my sister.
But not anymore.
This is his end.
His reign of terror will finally be over.
We will no longer fear Christmas Eve,
and with our powers combined,
we will cleanse the world of this evil force
once and for all!
- Am I at the wrong house?
- Jackson, you're my tech expert.
- Marlee, you're on recon.
Marlee?
- Oh, yeah, totally.
- And Carl, you are of course, the muscle.
- Seriously, did I steal someone else's identity?
- So he pretends to be Santa Claus, who would believe that?
Santa Claus is totally not real.
Right?
- You really expect us to believe you?
A monster Santa, kids being turned into coal?
- I've been tracking him for years, studying his patterns.
Kids like Kenley disappearing on Christmas Eve
all over town.
This thing, whatever it is, it's important to him.
It makes him stronger.
Unfortunately for us I haven't been able to locate it,
which means it's gonna be a tough fight.
So listen up.
His MO.
First, the sounds of jingle bells.
Then the smell of warm gingerbread cookies.
That's how he gets them isolated.
(gulps)
Soon the stench turns vile, repulsive.
Then it's too late.
(cookie cracks) Their fate is sealed.
But not this year.
Because we're gonna stick together and stop him
from hurting anyone ever again.
Now let's show this asshat
that he's messed with the wrong town.
Let's send Walter back to where he came from.
(clapping)
(clock chimes)
- Nothing from the live stream yet.
- No one from school has posted in over an hour.
- Yeah, because they're all asleep.
(thudding)
- Look alive team.
(phone beeps) - What the?
I've lost the feed!
- Gingerbread. (electricity crackles)
(footsteps thudding) - Where is he going?
(door thudding)
(intense music)
- W-T-F, Delaney!
You're just gonna have a holiday party and not invite me?
That's jacked up. - Angelica,
you need to be quiet. - I know Marlee's in there
'cause I have her Find My iPhone.
And if you didn't invite me because I'm half Jewish,
that's a hate crime and I will straight up call
the police!
- (sniffs) Oh, what is that smell?
(electricity crackles)
- What, did you not pay your electricity bill or something?
(monster grunts) (Angelica screams)
- Shit!
Don't tell my mom I said that!
(door slams)
- Where's Carl?
(fire crackles)
(electricity crackles)
(screams) (Walter growls)
In position.
(intense music)
Don't be afraid, that's what he wants.
- Gotta say, it's working!
(dramatic music)
- Is he gone? (record scratches)
♪ Trim the tree, oh Christmas tree ♪
♪ Thy leaves are so unchanging ♪
♪ Oh Christmas tree ♪
♪ Oh ♪
♪ Christmas ♪
(groans) (eerie music)
- Santa?
(growls) (intense music)
(yells)
Love you, Kenley.
Season's beatings.
(snowglobe thuds) (blood squishes)
- Do you want like a wet wipe or something?
- [Delaney] Good work, team, we did it.
- Wait, I'm sorry,
did you really yell out season's beatings?
(laughing)
(sad music)
(phone beeping)
- It's me.
You can come get him now.
- [Woman] I'll be right there.
(cheerful music)
(electricity crackles)
(groaning) (intense music)
(screams)
