Don'‘t send me
back in there.
It'‘s unbearable.
They just keep coming
and coming and coming!
Man, if these people
don'‘t stop having babies,
this whole town'‘s
gonna explode.
There'‘s our boy.
Ickis,
watch for intruders.
Cover me.
[grunting]
Not like that.
Why do you always get to do the
fun stuff, why can'‘t I ever--
Because.Because nothing--
Because.You are so

[all laughing]
What'‘s so funny?!
Kriggle!
Well, sir, you see,
wh-wh-what was funny was--
I know what'‘s funny!
And that wasn'‘t funny.
Hey, what about when the spray
went up Ickis'‘ nose?
[laughing]
I suppose there was something
humorous in that, yes.
But let us not
overlook one thing.
It was a failure!
A failure, not only for Ickis,
Krumm and Oblina,
but for all of us as well.
We failed just
'‘cause they messed up?Exactly, because
Here we go again.
Because every time you fail to
complete a scare
The pool suffers.The pool suffers.
Blah, blah, the pool.
Krumm!
Am I boring you?
The sooner you little muck
munchers realize
we'‘re all in
this together, the better.
Now as for tonight'‘s
alumni party.
It'‘s not some
romp at the top--
no, I want you all to be
there and be hideous.
Don'‘t disappoint me.
I had no choice-- There
were humans everywhere.
I had to call it off.
Happened to me last week,
same thing.
Never got out of the box.
Scarrus Interruptus.
I hate that.
Have one, won'‘t you,
they'‘re revolting.
This is no better
than the garbage
they served us as students.What did you expect?
Better garbage.
Who are you kidding,
you loved it here.
I loved the scaring,
I never liked the food.
That'‘s funny,
I love the food.
It'‘s scaring I'‘m not
so fond of.
[laughing]
I was so busy attaching the rest
of them, I tripped.
My skin going everywhere.
[laughing]
So there'‘s me covered with
stinkin'‘ humans all around me.
Well, they didn'‘t see me, but
I'‘ll tell ya, it was mortifying.
[laughing]
[shouting nonsensically]
I'‘ve heard quite enough.
Your failed scares seem like
a joke to all of you.
Have you forgotten
why you'‘re here?
Um, our mothers and fathers
loved each other very much,
so they got together and--To scare!
Don'‘t you realize what'‘s
happening up there?
Hundreds of new humans
are arriving every day.
Babies are being born
by the dozens.
Do you know
what that means?
Their mothers and fathers
loved each other very much
More people who have
never been scared!
And never will be unless
we work even harder.
We must
increase our scaring.
So let me get
this straight.
You want us to be scaring even
more than we already are?
This party is over.No slime pie?
I said,
"“The party'‘s over."”
Now get out!
The humans grow in numbers
and nobody seems to care.
What should I do?
Tell my students?
But they'‘re too young to do
anything about it.
They'‘re only-- okay, okay.
Say it, don'‘t spray it.
I have been to the pool and it
is worse than I thought.
Which can only
mean one thing.
We are not scaring enough!
We scare plenty.
Perhaps we do, Friggit,
perhaps we do.
But there are more humans coming
into our sector every day.
We need to
keep them terrified.
You might say our balance
of scare is out of line.
How does this affect us?
Does anyone know
why we scare?!
So we don'‘t flunk out
and disgrace our families
and spend the rest of our
lives harvesting lint?
We scare because we love it,
and because it is our legacy.
I'‘m more afraid of
being snorched.
But there are also times when
we scare because we must!
To survive, and now
is one of those times.
If the pool goes down any
further, listen to me--
Monsters will start
disappearing.
[all gasping]
You mean, poof,
gone, bye-bye?
Yes, and you young ones will be
the first to vanish.
But Gromble, can'‘t you do
something, talk to this pool?
Tell it we'‘ll be
better monsters
if only it'‘ll stop us
from disappearing.
The pool doesn'‘t
work that way.
So what you'‘re saying is
we have to scare more?
Exactly.
What if I, um, wanted to see
this pool for myself?
[gasping]
You'‘re not ready
to see the pool.
None of you are.
It'‘s much too powerful.
It could very well
swallow you up.
Is going back
to bed an option?
We may be in for trouble, and if
we are, I'‘m going to rely on
each and every one of you
to scare brilliantly.
Did he have
to say that?
My students don'‘t seem to
understand, either.
Maybe I should try
to handle this myself.
Why, I could scare hundreds,
maybe even--
Do nothing?
You can'‘t be serious.
You don'‘t expect me to just
stand by while
Ickis-- What makes you
think he can handle this?
All right, already.
I hope you know what
you'‘re doing.
So much for these!
[splashing]
I am famished.
How can you think
about food?
Aren'‘t you the least bit
curious about--
Must you bring up that
alleged pool again?
If I hear one more wordBut The Gromble said--
The Gromble said,
the Gromble said, it'‘s bogus!
He talks about that pool
every time he thinks
we'‘re slacking off,
but he never
really tells us anything.
Honestly, Ickis.
Has anyone else ever
mentioned this pool?Honestly, no!
Mmm, smells like
rancid anchovies.
Do you know anyone
who'‘s ever seen it?Unh-unh.
It'‘s all sardines.
Did it not ever occur to you
that the pool might just be
the Gromble'‘s way of motivating
us to scare more, hmm?
[panting]
All I am saying is there
could be a pool.
And you could be the next
Gorblat champion of the academy.
[Oblina]
Good one.
What about the disappearing
monsters, huh?
Poppycock!But I'‘m young.
And the young ones are
the first to go.
I have never seen a single
monster disappear,
unless you count Krumm
when it'‘s time to cram
for our screeching exams.
Yeah, Oblina'‘s right.Never happened.
It'‘s a bunch of stuff.
Monsters could be
disappearing already
and we wouldn'‘t
even know it.
You just do not
get it, do you?
It is never
going to happen.
[monster]
I don'‘t care what
the Gromble says.
I'‘m never gonna disappear.Me either.
I don'‘t wanna disappear.
[imitating the Gromble]
But I have been
to the pool
and it is falling.
[laughing]
Crazy old codger.
Did I tell ya, that guy'‘s not
playing with a full Grishnak.
[laughing]
I don'‘t think he'‘s playing
with half a Grishnak.[laughing]
He wouldn'‘t know a Grishnak
if it him in the face.[laughing]
So I'‘m a crazy
old codger, am I?
And you'‘re tired hearing about
the pool, are you?
Well, I'‘m tired
of talking about it.
Why don'‘t we just see what
happens, shall we?
See you in class
tomorrow, sir.
I thought
I made myself clear!
I will assign
no more scares,
and I will teach
no more classes.
[door closing]
What are we
gonna do now?
[horn blowing]
[chanting]
Watch it,
I'‘m ticklish.
Oh, I was this close.
Admit it, Ickis, it doesn'‘t get
any better than this.
No thanks, gives me gas.
What'‘s a matter, pal?Nothing.
You cannot fool me.
Look, even the drones are
having more fun than you.
[music playing]
What is wrong with taking
a little breakie?
Think of it as a vacation.
I like vacations.
Color me sensitive,
but aren'‘t any of you spooked
by what The Gromble said?
Are you kidding?Why should we?
Yeah, right.
Look, Ickis, if you want to make
yourself crazy
over things that will never,
ever happen, that is fine.
But the rest of us are enjoying
our time off, okay?
It'‘s congo time!
[laughing]

[chattering]
Mmm I could get
used to this.
Why don'‘t they just
leave already?
They'‘ve eaten all our garbage
and drunk our motor oil.
Oh, what are you
grumbling about?
I'‘m not grumbling,
I just need my sleep.
Yeah, Ickis wants to be
especially revolting
for school tomorrow.[laughing]
Hey, Ickis, you know what
would make you feel
a whole lot better?What?
A nice refreshing
dip in the pool.[laughing]
Very funny, Jigger.
Jigger?
Jigger?Jigger?
Jigger?
[calling "“Jigger"”]
Well, that'‘s odd,
he was just here.
Odd, he'‘s not in there!
Or in our room either.
Don'‘t you see,
he'‘s disappeared, vanished,
just like the Gromble said.
You'‘re crazy.No way.
That'‘s ridiculous.
First Jigger,
then who knows what?!
I think it'‘s your hand.
Krumm, this is
no time to joke.
Ickis, he'‘s right, look.
[shrieking]
Don'‘t panic!
After all, it'‘s just
one little arm.
It'‘s not like something
truly horrendous, like my--
My leg!
My neck!
My stomach!
[shrieking]
[mumbling]
My mouth.
"“Venga frumpus"”!
You are all
disappearing.
The Gromble was right.
There is a pool,
it'‘s strong and powerful
out to get us![all screaming]
[screaming]
Don'‘t panic.
Oh, my eyes, my eyes!
Krumm, stop doing that.
I cannot think.
What is there
to think about?
We are about to blink
out of existence.
Don'‘t say blink.
We have got to find
the Gromble.
Why don'‘t we just go scaring
like the Gromble said.
How are we
supposed to scare?
I can'‘t see a thing-- ow!
Besides, there'‘s nothing left
for humans to be scared of.
I say we get The Gromble
while I am still mostly here.
Maybe you should scare.
A head without a body
can be very upsetting.
So can a group of scared humans
stomping on me.
[grunting]
You two go on without me.
It is your choice.
Come on, Krumm.
I'‘m with Ickis on this one,
I'‘m kinda helpless.
Krumm, your pit hair!
What about it?
Um, let'‘s put it this way.
You'‘re not having
a very good hair day.
Very well, then, look for
the Gromble if you wish.
I am going to scare.
Who is coming
with me?!
I don'‘t know.
How can we?Look at us.
We'‘re disappearing.
Are you going to let
a little thing
like disappearing
body parts get you down?
This isn'‘t gonna work.Can you believe this?
There'‘s gotta be
a better idea.
Hey, wait for me.
You cramp my style.
The Gromble would
never leave us.
He probably just stepped out,
you know, get some lunch,
look up some scares,
forage for new pumps?
[shrieking]
He'‘s never coming
back, is he?
[crying]
Never, never!
Get a hold of
yourself, Ickis.
[crying]
I wish I could.
[chattering]Jackpot!
[woman]
Is there somewhere
we can put these?
Oh, good.
Hmm banal, yet
Effortless in its simplicity yet
staggering in its complexity.
Come on, we'‘ve gotta do this
now, they'‘re coming.
Just wait a minute, I'‘m a
righty, I need time to adjust.
Oh, forget it,
I'‘ll do it alone.
Ugly yet
Well, just ugly,
actually.
Yes, quite.
[bowling balls
striking pins]
You go.No, you go.
No, you go!
[screaming]
[gasping]
Ahh!
[all chattering]
[groaning]
Whoa!
So this wartloo
pushes me out and boom.
I'‘m Grelch, the monster
bowling ball.
Monsters, I'‘m afraid our
recent attempts at scaring
were not our best.
And it looks as though we are
worse off than we thought.
We need the Gromble,
he'‘ll know what to do.
I'‘m with Snav.
Without the Gromble,
we are history.
Well, we don'‘t know
where he is, now do we?
We need a plan.
A plan.Yeah, a plan.
Right, Ickis has a plan.
What'‘s the plan?I said we need a plan,
not that I had one.
Then make one!Loser.
Loser!Loser.
Okay, all right.
Maybe if we started with
some easy scares.
Good idea, Ickis.Yeah, way to go.
Yeah-yeah.How do we do that?
You two go to the
Hall of Records.
They should have easy scares
listed there.
Then you can assign them
back here in a little while.
The rest of you
wait here.
You call this a plan?We just stand around?
This is bad.Aren'‘t you coming with us?
I am going to spend my time
looking for the Gromble.
[gasping]
Or maybe I could
go with you.
Why, it'‘s huge.
How shall we ever find
the easy scares, how?
Yeah, we'‘ll
disappear completely
before we get through one aisle
of this place.
Silence!
Does the Gromble
know you'‘re here?
Well, we are--No talking in
the Hall of Records.
Well, how do you expect us
to answer you?
Is this some
kind of riddle?Honestly.
Can you please tell us where the
easy to scare files are located?
We'‘re in kind of a hurry!
What'‘s the matter
with you two?
There'‘s three of us and
we'‘re disappearing fast.
Now why would you
wanna do that?We don'‘t want to!
Then why don'‘t you stop?
Where are the easy
to scare files?!
Three rows down
at the very top.
Thank you.
Don'‘t run!
And they say
I'‘m not all there.
[Ickis]
Go ahead, just lob me
right up there.
I'‘ll just climb
it with my teeth.
Ickis, dear, you make a lot
of noise for only a head.
It is going to
have to be Krumm.
He'‘s the only one with arms.
How high is it?Not high at all.
Just climb straight up
and we will direct you.
Okay.
Ow!
[gasping]
[all]
It'‘s the pool.
The Gromble, we'‘re saved!
So you'‘re here.Not entirely, sir.
We are disappearing.
You'‘ve gotta help us.
While we'‘re still
here to be helped.Do something!
I'‘m afraid there'‘s
nothing I can do.
What do you mean there'‘s
nothing you can do?
How can you just sit there
and do nothing?
I said
we are disappearing!
Can you hear me?
You gotta save us, we'‘re
becoming invisible.
Any other ideas?
Come back here.
I said we are disappearing.
Now, hey, come back here!
I don'‘t believe this is
happening.
Pay attention to me!
Do you hear me?
But I'‘ll become a
Oh, please, ahh
Ickis!What?
Stop!Stop what?
YourStop my what?
Sniveling!Who said that?
I am the soul of
your ancestors, Ickis.
You are?
Many generations ago,
monsters were born
with a human mind.
Their fear of us
gave rise to our reality.
We are no longer beasts!
But we only live as long
as humans believe in us.
You must save
the others, Ickis,
before I dry up
completely!
Well, if you didn'‘t spray
that stuff everywhere.
You must save them!Why me?
If you can keep your head
when those around you
are losing theirs,
then you will
be a monster, my son.
I will?
It is your own lack of spirit
that puts your life in peril!
But I'‘m only a head!
If you use it,
I think you will find
that'‘s all you need.
Who'‘s he talking to?
I have no idea.
Maybe his brain
disappeared too.
[clearing throat]
We lost the Gromble and I'‘m
afraid he could be anywhere.
We'‘re doomed.
I hate to say it,
but it does not look good.
Wait a minute,
I still got my head.
You still got your body.
And we can be your
eyes, so, so,
so technically,
between the three of us,
we'‘ve got one whole monster just
waiting to scare.
I don'‘t know.
Look, Krumm,
it'‘s either that
or we sit here and
wait to disappear.
If that'‘s what
you wanna do, fine.
But as long as I still have
a head and existence,
I'‘m gonna use it!
Ickis, how commanding
you are.
Yeah, what'‘s
gotten into you?Well
Let'‘s just say that I took
a dip in the pool.
Gather the students
and the alumni together.
I got a plan!A plan?
Yeah, and this time,
it'‘s a good one.
We are going to beat this thing
together without the Gromble.
[man]
Fozzie Dougal assesses the
situation and grabs a club.
Ooh, a nine iron, a difficult
choice, but he is a pro.
Let'‘s look on.
Ahh!
Monsters.
Argh![screaming]
[roaring]
Aah![screaming]
Ahh!
Ahh!Ahh!
Ahh!Ahh!
[screaming][screaming]
[all screaming]
[laughing]
What the heck?
[roaring]
[screaming]
[people screaming]
[screaming]
Excellent,
simply excellent.
I couldn'‘t be prouder of all
you creepy crawlies.
Sitting by the Pool of Elders
and doing nothing
was the hardest thing
I'‘ve ever had to do.
But you maggots worked together
and weathered the crisis.
You have made me
and the academy very proud.
Congratulations!
[all cheering]
Move out of the way.
Now, now, there'‘s
no need to rush.
We'‘ve got all night.
[laughing]
I'‘m proud of you, Ickis.
Aw, thank you, sir.
No-no-no, I think you'‘re
destined for great things.
Oh, well, it was nothing.
Which is why I'‘m going
to ride you
twice as hard
as the others from now on!
Thank you, sir.
[all]
Ickis! Ickis! Ickis!
