(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
All right, boys.
Seven months of hard work
on our birthday gift
has really paid off!
Mina's going to love it!
Let's gently wake her up.
-(ALARM CLOCK BEEPING)
-Oh, my gosh! Today's the day!
My thirteenth birthday!
-MINA'S DAD: Ahhh!
-(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
Ooh! And it sounds like Dad
is setting up for the party!
Oh, I hope it's
the Escape From Horror Ville
birthday experience!
I've wanted to this all year.
Come on, Bunnicula!
Let's check it out!
Birthday! Birthday! Birthday!
Birth Day.
There she is!
The birthday girl!
Look at what your
old man put together.
It's the pony princess party
you always dreamed of!
(NEIGHING)
Yeah, when I was three.
Here! Try on this
princess dress and crown.
Oh, no, I don't think
I found it in the garbage,
of all places!
(CRYING) You used to
wear this every day.
My princess Mina.
They grow up so fast!
You, uh, really outdid
yourself this time, Dad.
Keep up the good work.
(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
Ugh, Dad!
I'm not a kid anymore.
-I'm way too big for this.
-(DRESS RIPPING)
Yeah, definitely
too big for this.
(SIGHING) Oh, Bunnicula.
I'm not into princesses
and unicorns anymore.
I'm into horror movies
and art!
(GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION)
Why can't Dad see that?
Oh, no! Could it be?
My baby girl isn't
a baby anymore.
My baby.
The doctor says,
I should let my hair down,
and that parties are
nothing to be afraid of.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
-Ahhh!
-(MEOWS)
I will fix this, Mina!
-Ahhh!
-Yeah! Party down,
Mr. Mina's dad.
MINA'S DAD: Ahhh!
Polidori, Polidori!
I need a gift for
my daughter, quick!
Wait a minute! What's that?
Huh? Strange.
I've never seen
that painting before.
It has horror and it's art!
Mina said,
she loves those things!
I'll take it!
All right, I'm off to win
the love of my daughter!
Hazaa!
You're a good horsey.
You want a carrot?
-(NEIGHING)
-(SHUDDERING)
(GROWLS, CRUNCHING)
Ooh! Eee!
(BUNNICULA LAUGHING)
Great party, Mina.
MINA'S DAD: Oh, Mina!
Your old man really
pulled through this time.
(GIGGLING)
Ugh. What is it, Dad?
You didn't hire
a clown, did you?
(LAUGHING)
Stand down, Bobo.
Stand down!
Now, Mina, I know you think
I'm a little out of touch.
But I know my little girl
is a fan of horror
and art!
So right here,
in front of all your friends
and that boy you like,
I'd like to present you
with this!
Eh? Eh?
So what is it?
Some kind of 3D TV?
Cool!
What happens when I swipe it?
Whoa! The TV threw up
on me! (CHUCKLES)
I can't look up what it is
on my phone.
There's no Wi-Fi!
What do we do?
Way to go, Arthur.
(NEIGHING)
-(PONY CRASHING)
-(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
-(CRASHING CONTINUES)
-(PONY NEIGHING)
Oh, Dad, I know you tried.
-Thank you.
-(SIGHS)
Now, see here, children.
This is a painting.
You are supposed to observe
and appreciate it.
And I'm sure,
whoever painted it
went through a lot of trouble,
because he knew
that his daughter
(SOBBING) loved horror
and art.
Uh, Dad?
Your tears opened a door.
It looks dangerous.
Let's go in!
Huh?
(DOOR OPENING)
Hay, all you
awkward wallflowers.
Chester's in the house!
Huh?
Wait a minute,
where did everybody go?
Huh? What happened?
Whoa!
What did you do now, Arthur?
I know what you did!
What? Mina, I can explain.
You got me the Escape
from Horror Ville birthday
experience!
I What now?
Oh, thank you, Dad!
Oh, I'm so confused.
What's going on?
Silence! Silence!
(HEAVY PANTING)
(GRUNTS, THUDS)
Greetings!
Welcome to my bizarre world.
Bobo, you've changed costumes!
Ugh. I'm not Bobo!
I am Miserio.
Miserio The Darned.
Where are we?
Allow me to explain, Fraulein.
Your tears of sadness
opened up a portal
to my world.
And now, you're
trapped here, forever!
So please, make yourselves
ALL: Oh!
uncomfortable.
So, he's not a clown?
Shh! Guys, this is all part
of the show. Right, Dad?
Uh, right!
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
They look like
they're in agony.
We need to get them
out of there.
According to this website,
this is the
Cursed Painting of Miserio.
But it's not a painting,
it's a portal.
They're trapped in some
kind of alternate dimension.
And if we don't rescue them
by midnight tonight,
they'll be trapped inside!
-Forever!
-(GASPS)
(CLOCK TICKING)
Mina!
Good idea, Bunnicula.
Maybe all it needs
are a couple of bats,
and they'll pop out.
Mina!
A couple of bats, eh?
-(GRUNTING)
-No, wait! Harold!
-Take it!
-That's not what we meant!
(LOUD THUMPING)
(GASPS) What was that?
Silence!
I shall now begin my tale of
exceptional woe.
In the past, I used to love
feeding off the misery
-my art gave others.
-(BABY CRYING)
But no one in my world
understood me.
So I decided to retreat
into my own world.
Into my canvas.
And here, I can alter
the world to be as
miserable as I like
With my magic paintbrush!
MINA: Enough with
the origin story.
How about some music to
accompany our, um, misery?
What? Music?
(SIGHS) Very well.
I shall procure some
deliciously miserable music.
Hold on to your strudel!
(ELECTRONIC
DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
-Whoa!
-Pretty fresh jams
for a goth clown.
Uh, yeah?
I mean, yeah!
This is my most
horrible music.
Why are the children
not miserable?
(GASPS) Perhaps,
if I disorient them.
ALL: Whoo-hoo!
Nein! Nothing is working!
-(CLOCK TICKING)
-Nothing's working, you guys!
I'm going in!
(GRUNTS)
Uh, I can't see or breathe.
Harold! (STRAINED GRUNTING)
All right, that's it!
Time to get this party
really started!
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(LOUD THUMPING)
Oh my gosh, Marsha,
you're finally letting
your hair down!
BOTH: Whoo-hoo!
(GASPS)
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
(CHIMES)
Mina!
Ah!
Strange, someone's sadness
has opened the portal.
(SHRIEKS)
We made it!
We escaped Horror Ville!
Oh, wha
What happened
to my house?
It's ruined!
(HAROLD WHINING)
What a disaster!
Silence!
It's beautiful.
-MINA: Miserio!
-Who, what, hmm?
That was the best
Escape From Horror Ville
-birthday experience ever!
-What?
Huh?
Yeah, it's pretty
fun and amazing.
I learned about paintings.
I learned to let my hair down
and have fun!
See? We all learned a lesson.
I learned to reconnect
with my daughter through
weird art and horrible music.
Well, that settles it.
I am a genius!
I must share my art
with the world!
(NEIGHS)
-Oh, Dad, thank you!
-Huh?
That was the best party ever!
You had this
Escape From Horror Ville party
planned all along, didn't you?
What?
Anything for my princess!
I mean, my grown-up lady.
Dad, I know I'm growing up
But I'll always be
your princess.
Well, happy third
I mean, thirteenth birthday,
Princess Mina.
Hey, everybody, let's all
go to the library and learn
about paintings!
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, wait for us!
MARSHA: Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
Uh, hello?
(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
Am I still getting paid?
Do the children
still need laughter?
Uh, hello?
Whoa!
Classic Bobo!
(ALL LAUGHING)
Every time with him!
