We're spending the night at a haunted house
because my rich uncle just died
and whoever can stay the entire night
at Hackney Manor will get his inheritance.
[squealing]
Ah, okay. Hang on a second.
Hang on a second. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who's going to watch Piper while you're gone?
You are.
What? No, no, no, no. I can't watch Piper tonight.
- Why not? - Because I'm supposed to go
trick or treating with Charlotte and Jasper.
Well, young man, you should have thought
about that before Uncle Jimmy died.
What?
[screaming]
Oh, Piper sounds mad. Better go see what she wants.
Bye!
[screaming]
Piper?
I'm under the table.
I messed up my hair.
Okay, come on, Piper. I'm sure it's not that...
Oh, my God. What happened to your hair?
I tried to trim my hair just a little bit
so I could be this Fresno Girl doll for Halloween.
That would have been a sweet 'stume.
But after I trimmed it, I noticed that the right side
was a little bit longer than the left side,
so I trimmed a little off the right.
But I trimmed too much,
so then I tried to even it out on the left side,
but I trimmed too much again and it just kept happening!
At least it's even.
I look terrible,
and my hair was one of my 50 best qualities!
Henry, this is Charlotte, do you copy?
This is a code. I repeat, code red.
I repeat, code red.
Yep, got it, code red. We are on our way.
- Come on, let's go. - No, I am not leaving the house
with my hair like this!
We'll go to Junk N' Stuff, we'll get you a wig,
and everything will be just fine.
All right, let's make this quick.
Piper's upstairs with Jasper trying on wigs.
Here you go, man.
Ah, yes.
I am handsome.
Happy Halloween, Swellview.
Halloween?
Or hallo-missing-twins?
So far, 10 children have disappeared without a trace.
Unless you consider the puffs of smoke, the screaming,
and the eyewitness accounts of a terrifying monster
appearing out of nowhere a trace.
Ten kids? That's a juggler's dozen.
That's right, Mary, the big question is
who is going to be 11?
What do you think?
Anything is better than what you looked like before.
- Hey! - You asked me what I thought.
[screaming]
Henry!
[grunting]
[groaning]
There, there, there,
there, there and there.
Those are the 10 places where the kids were last seen.
Does anyone else see a pattern?
I do.
[clears throat]
This is the pattern.
And then, finally, as you can see,
the pattern is clear.
Boom.
[sighing]
Or...
it's an X.
I'm not seeing it.
[beeping]
I did it! I made a device
that can find all of those missing dogs.
Not dogs, it's kids.
Oh.
[lisping] Guys, guys!
We have a super serious emergency.
[laughing]
Jasper, you sound ridiculous.
Yeah, why are you talking like that?
I smashed my face on the door of Junk N' Stuff
when I tried to run down here to tell you
that your sister Piper disappeared!
What do you mean disappeared?
A monster snatched her and then vanished in a puff of smoke.
- What? - Just like those other 10 kids.
So Piper is 11.
Precisely.
The strangest thing...
Come on, man, we got to go find my sister.
Well, how are we supposed to do that?
We don't know where this monster went.
We have no way of knowing.
Junk N' Stuff is also on the X,
and check out what's right in the middle of the X...
A place called Evil Science Corp.
Do you think that's where the kids went missing?
I don't know, but it seems like a good place to start.
Yeah, let's go. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
All right, all right, I'm hurrying.
What's your beef, jerky?
What's my...? My beef is that my sister
is kidnapped by some monster,
and we have no idea where she is,
but wherever she is, it's probably dark
and horrible and scary.
[screaming]
Hello again, friends.
[together] Hi, Kevin.
What the butt is going on?
What's your name, little girl?
Uh, Piper?
Hello, Piper, and welcome to my world.
What do you mean "your world"?
I'll tell you.
For the longest time I lived by myself
in this beautiful world.
I was very lonely.
[together] Aww...
But then, just yesterday,
a doorway opened from your world into mine,
and now I can bring friends to my world!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[cheering]
If this place is so great why'd you kidnap me?
I'm sorry, I thought you would like it here.
But if you want to go back to your world,
you can go right through that whimsical portal.
I'd stay if I were you.
This party is lit AF,
which stands for "lit and fun".
I'm leaving.
Sure you don't want to hang out and eat some candy?
Yeah, I'll hang out and eat some candy.
Look at you.
[grunting]
Hi...
Do you have an appointment?
We want to talk to whoever's in charge around here.
- Well, that would be me. - [screams]
- Dude! - Where'd you come from?
From over there.
I'm wearing silent shoes, see?
[silence]
I invented them.
I'm Bill Evil, chairman of the Evil Science Corp.
Oh, yeah? Bill?
Did you also invent that monster
that's going around stealing kids?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, don't play dumb, Bill.
[whirring, shouting]
The portal is out of control,
and it's definitely connected
to that monster that's going around stealing kids.
No, no! Don't go over there! Let's go to the parking lot!
Besides, there's nothing of interest in this room.
Why don't I show you a different room,
where we make the quiet shoes?
You won't believe what you don't hear.
We want to know what that giant wall nostril is, Bill.
Yeah, Bill, we also wanna know about that monster.
And what happened to all those missing kids?
[sighing] Fine.
Earlier today, we were playing God,
as all scientists do, by the way, it's not just us.
- Sure. - Fair enough.
So it seems that we accidentally
opened a portal to another dimension.
And it also seems that there is a monster from that dimension
that crossed over to our dimension
and is currently abducting children.
Have any of you actually gone through the portal
to see what's going on in the other dimension?
No! [chuckles]
No, no, no, no, that is way too scary.
We hear a lot of screaming coming from that thing.
[screaming]
I love it here, Kevin!
I'm so glad!
[screaming]
We go in, we kick some monster butt,
we get the kids and we get out of there.
Sounds good.
[grunting]
Get the kids!
Would you like a hug?
Die, you foul beast!
[screaming]
Come on, come on!
Get out of here! Get out of here!
[grunting]
- No, stop him! - I'll get you out of here!
- Let me explain! - I said stay down!
- Captain Man, let's go! - Wait!
Wait for what?
We have to close this portal permanently.
Well, how are we gonna do that?
Jeez!
An explosive seismic charge.
All right, just make it quick.
Ah!
[gasping]
Captain Man, Kid Danger...
Oh, no need to thank us.
Thank you?
That monster was nice.
His name was Kevin.
He was just lonely and wanted some friends.
Yeah, we could've left at any time.
We wanted to stay.
Uh...
That is... new information.
[loud explosion]
[screaming]
You're welcome.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
