(laughing maniacally)
-I can't believe you're all mine ♪
-Uh, what?
-You and me for all time ♪
-Ugh!
I'm never, ever, ever
gonna be alone again ♪
Oh, boy.
-The dream team you and me ♪
-For all eternity?
-For all eternity! ♪
-Ahh!
It's a ghost,
it's a ghost and Molly McGee ♪
I've been cursed, it's the worst ♪
MOLLY: Now you're stuck with me ♪
We're never gonna be apart ♪
-Is there a way to hit restart? ♪
-Nope.
We're the ghost, Ghost and Molly McGee ♪
-That's me!
-Well, that's she.
BOTH: The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪
(tense music playing)
(lighter crackles)
(whooping)
Yes! Woo-hoo-hoo!
(melody music playing)
-(chainsaw whirs)
-Ah!
(all laugh)
Wow, they made this
just such a convincing house of horrors.
I'm very proud.
(yelps)
-LIBBY: Samhain Salutations.
-(gasps)
I was gonna go with the traditional "boo,"
but I wanted to honor
Halloween's Celtic origins.
Also, I'm not so sure
I should've used a real pumpkin.
It's still kinda gooey in here.
(yelps)
Great job, Libby. You're an inspiration.
(sighs)
This is gonna be an excellent Halloween.
Maybe for you it's gonna be
a great Halloween,
but I got to hide from Oliver Chen
on the best night of the year. Halloween.
Molly, you know that's like,
my Christmas, okay?
That's like Ghost Christmas,
and Oliver Chen is ruining it for me.
Oh, come on. Stand up straight.
I know you've got the backbone.
(laughs, grunts)
Well, how do you think I feel, Scratch?
I mean, Ollie and I are so alike.
How did we both end up dressing
as supreme court justices?
-We did not plan that.
-I thought you were some kind of a wizard
with a magic hammer.
Look, I couldn't change
Ollie's mind about ghosts,
and there's no way I can be friends
with a ghost hunter. You're welcome.
So now everything's awkward and weird.
Then get him and his swoopy hair
out of here,
so we can enjoy
this magical holiday together.
Okay, uh, banner hung,
pumpkin primped, eyeballs set.
I, uh, guess we're all done,
so if you want to head home,
I can take it from here.
-It's not a big
-Whoa, whoa, slow down.
There's one more decoration
I want you to see.
This is guaranteed to terrify people,
wouldn't you say, Molly?
Because ghosts are terrifying.
Right?
The only thing terrifying about this ghost
is his startling good looks.
(laughs)
Uh, sorry, this is a house of horrors,
not a haunted house.
It's a subtle
but very important difference.
So, no ghosts here.
(laughs nervously)
Oh!
(chuckles nervously)
-(beeps)
-Ghost Chaser Vlog 266.
Molly continues
to associate with the ghost,
even after my subtle
but visually stunning warning.
The House of Horrors is officially open.
All ticket proceeds
go toward the 3A Club's Calf Fund.
MOLLY: Every dollar helps a child adopt
an adorable baby cow.
CROWD: Aw!
(all laugh)
Look at all these kids filled
with the Halloween spirit.
They get to enjoy tonight, but not me.
Oh, I don't even get to scare anybody.
Oh, I'm sorry, Scratch.
It's just too dangerous with Ollie around.
Can we at least hit the food stands?
Mr. Bates bakes a mean hand pie.
It's a pie that you eat with your hands.
(whispers)
That is a game changer.
I'll get us some when I'm on break.
What are we thinking? Apple? Pumpkin?
You know the correct answer is both.
The ghost's evil spell over Molly
seems to be getting stronger.
He must be controlling her
with his evil powers.
I've got to find a way to save her.
-(applause)
-(camera shutter clicks)
Thanks for the donation.
Have a spooky good time.
NASHUA: Oh, that wasn't scary at all.
Those eyeballs were clearly
just peeled grapes.
We demand a refund.
Thank you.
-(gasps)
-(all groaning)
-MAN 1: Terrible!
-(indistinct chatter)
(whimpering)
Now I'll never get my baby cow.
-MAN 2: Disappointing!
-Wait! Don't go.
This kid needs a cow.
(grunts)
Oh! How is our House of Horrors
not scary enough?
There are multiple plastic spiders
in there,
and they are very convincing.
Ah!
(grunting)
MOLLY: See?
Molly, why don't you let
old Scratchy take care of this?
I'll get those donations flowing
in no time.
We need to up the creepy-crawly quotient.
Do what you can.
Molly's House of Horrors is a bust.
We need Plan B.
(in quirky voice)
"What were you thinking, Scratch?
Recruiting all your ghost buddies
to scare the chocolate jimmies
out of these kids?"
(chuckles, in normal voice)
Plan B, you know me too well.
(gasps)
Yes!
Oh, it's gonna be so much fun!
No scare reports.
Just good old-fashioned Halloween fun.
But we got to keep it on the down-low
so Ollie doesn't find out.

-(girl shrieks)
Wow, who knew a full bag
of plastic spiders
would have such an impact?
Ooh! You really upped your game!
Those ghost special effects
were incredible!
Special effects?
Scratch!
Listen up, ghosts and ghouls.
It's time for our Halloween scare-off.
(all cheering)
-Scratch, what are you doing?
-It's Halloween.
I couldn't turn ghosts away
from a good scare-fest.
That goes against
the very spirit of the holiday.
Besides, look how much fun
everyone's having.
All right, let's keep
this spooky and kooky.
(neck bones crack)
(clears throat)
(all gasp)
(moaning)
(roars)
(all scream)
(groans)
(all cheer)
All right, not bad, not bad.
Now step back
so I can flaunt it and haunt it.
(roars)
-(all cheer)
-(laughs)
Aw, guys. You're making me blush.
(dance music blaring)
I can't wait any longer.
I've grabbed a few items
that will hopefully break
the ghost's evil spell on poor Molly.
Oops, almost forgot.
Oh, I mean, they do look like
they're having fun.
And it's not like
they're the Frightmares or anything.
And we are selling a lot of tickets.
Exactly. So just keep Ollie out of here,
and everyone gets what they want.
Molly, I've come to save you from
(tense music intensifies)
Ghosts?
Ghosts!
(roars)
(shrieking)
A whole lot of ghosts!
(screams)
Uh, wow.
Would you look at these special effects.
(laughs nervously)
(sighs)
I like your Ghost Fighter costume.
Thanks. Happy Halloween.
I want you to be brutally honest
about my latest batch of root beer.
Unless you don't like it.
Mmm. Crisp bubbles. Nice fragrance.
-I'm detecting notes of vanilla and
-(gasps)
BOTH: Ghosts!
Whoa! These ecto-detector readings
are off the charts.
It's coming from the school.
This is not a drill.
(upbeat music playing)
(belches)
(clears throat)
Sorry. Too much root beer.
Let's hunt some ghosts.
(grunts)
I can't pretend
there's an innocent reason anymore.
That ghost is controlling you.
Wait, you know about Scratch?
"Scratch"? It has a name?
Yes, and he's my friend, Ollie.
That's exactly what someone
being controlled would say.
The demon's got its fishhooks
in your brain,
like an evil invasive species tree
spreading its roots.
One, I'm a ghost, not a demon.
And two, pick a metaphor.
-Am I a fisherman or a tree?
-Ollie, stop! Listen to me!
I'm not in trouble, okay?
And I don't need your help.
Ghosts aren't bad.
How can you say that? They live to scare.
It's a dead tie, and not just
because they're both ghosts.
Tiebreaker goes to whoever scares
Hmm, let's see.
that human the most.
What?
(spooky music playing)
(whimpering)
(ghosts shriek)
(screams)
Geoff wins! Yes!
Completely impartial judge here.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Ghosts are evil and dangerous.
No, no, no,
they're just having a little fun.
Everyone likes to be scared on Halloween.
Yeah, don't be upset, little buddy.
It's all in good fun.
Here, have some Halloween candy.
Wait, is this candy poisoned?
What? Well, I hope not.
I mean, I've been eating it all night.
Oh, no! Promise me that if I die,
you'll tell Jeff I love him.
You do know you're already dead, right?
(chuckles)
Oh, right!
That's a relief.
Listen up, team. This is it.
-RUBEN: The ghosts are inside.
-Dad?
RUBEN: Okay, Chens, load your weapons.
The whole ghost-hunting family is here.
Way to go, Molly.
Ghost Christmas officially ruined.
Uh, it's okay. I'll stall the Chens.
You get everyone to safety
quickly and, Scratch, calmly.
Ghost Hunters are here! Everyone panic!
(all scream)
Uh, Chens. Fancy seeing you here.
Love the costumes.
What are you, uh, janitors?
No, we're the Ghost Fighters.
Haven't you seen the movie?
Nope. Do you wanna tell me
the whole plot in exacting detail?
(chuckles)
Molly, we are on an urgent mission.
-We have to get inside.
-(chuckles)
Not without tickets, you don't.
(cash register dings)
-(yelps)
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You gonna leave without your change?
Ooh. But would you look at that,
I only have pennies.
So that's one
two
three, four
-Oh, I dropped one.
-(coin clanks)
MOLLY: Lost count. I'll start again.
(action music playing)
(weapon powering up)
Move it, Tugbottoms.
We don't have all night. Ah! Oh!
(Scratch grunts)
Hey!
I'm not letting you go
till I understand
why you're haunting Molly.
I'm not haunting her.
(grunts)
Ooh! Ah! So sticky.
Technically, we were cursed
together, but
Aha! I knew you had a nefarious plan.
You did curse her mind.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Do not blame her mind on me.
She was like this when I met her.
What's your scheme?
Are you feeding off her positive energy?
-Draining her life force?
-What? No!
We're best friends!
I'm grumpy, she's peppy.
It makes no sense, but it works.
We'd do anything for each other.
Ollie, this place
is crawling with gho Oh!
Looks like you already captured one.
-Let me finish him off!
-(power surges)
-No!
-No, wait! You can't.
Because I'm, uh, interrogating this ghost
to find out his evil ghost-genda.
(ominous music sting)
I'm gonna go help Mom and Dad then.
If you expect me to thank you
for saving me from your sister,
uh, I want to say April?
-May?
-It's June.
June. I was
That was the next one I was gonna say.
Anyhoo, this trouble is all on you, pal.
You made this.
Sixty-three, sixty
Oh, lost count. Well, better start again.
This time in Japanese.
-(counting in Japanese)
-Ah! Just keep the change!
Tell your mom and dad
we're still on for Sunday karaoke.
Wait!
(action music playing)
Oh! I'm freezing up!
I can't remember how to make a portal!
(screams)
I'm not gonna make it!
Save yourself, Jeff!
I'm not going anywhere without you.
-Not so fast.
-(both yelp)
Number one defender
on my junior high basketball team.
Still got it, baby.
(Jeff and Geoff grunt)
-Jeff!
-Geoff!
Ghosts? Real live
um, dead ghosts?
All those Internet skeptics
are gonna be so sorry.
(yelps)
Oh, 'tis plastic.
(screams)
Another one!
Scratch? Scratch?
(gasps)
Geoff and Jeff!
I'll free you. Have you seen Scratch?
Last time I saw him,
he was heading outside.
Don't worry about us. We're fine.
Go save my precious Scratch!
We really need to talk about
how obsessed you are with Scratch.
(gasps) Scratch!
-Molly!
-Molly!
(Molly grunts)
-I'll get you out of here!
-I'm not letting him go.
Not until I figure out
what these ghosts are up to.
I thought you were
an en-good-ifier, but you're
You are an en-bad-ifier!
(gasps)
No, I'm not!
Ghosts are the em-bad-ifiers.
They attacked my dad!
Any chance this argument
could be a little less painful for me?
Oh, one ghost did a bad thing,
and now you're going to take it out
on all of them?
Yeah, I didn't scare your dad.
If it makes you feel any better,
I barely did my job scaring anyone.
You've never talked to a ghost,
or hung out with a ghost,
or hugged a ghost.
It's like hugging a giant marshmallow
who can give you a hug right back.
But you've clearly never been hugged
by a giant marshmallow,
have you, Ollie Chen?
'Cause the fact is,
you know nothing about real ghosts!
-(panting)
-Just gonna take these back.
Oh, man. They're all stretched out now.
But I've been told
ghosts are bad my whole life.
It has to be true.
Listen, us terrible, evil ghosts
just raised a ton of money for charity.
Some kid's getting a baby cow
because of us. Maybe two.
I'll admit that doesn't seem
like an evil thing to do.
I promise, Ollie, ghosts aren't bad.
-(ghosts snarling)
-Ah! What was that?
-(ghastly screaming)
-SCRATCH: Oh, no.
-(roars)
-SCRATCH: Frightmares.
They thrive on chaos.
(roaring)
(thunder crashing)
And we got a lot of that
going on right now.
(all screaming)
(roars)
They call it a hand pie
because you eat it with your
(screams)
hands!
(Frightmares shrieking)
Uh, these special effects are too real!
Too real!
-(snarling)
-Not again.
Ugh! This is the third time
I've seen a ghost.
Why are they so obsessed with me?
Okay, uh, I know I just said
that, uh, ghosts aren't bad.
But those ghosts are pretty bad.
(screaming)
We can take them.
This is our moment, Ghost Chaser Chens.
Woo-hoo! Ha!
See? This is why we do drills
in the backyard.
(roars)
Ugh! These costumes are a rental!
If you want to mess with Brighton,
you're gonna have to go through us.
(all snarling)
(yelping)
They're going through us!
They're going through us!
(gasps)
My family!
Ollie, you have to free Scratch.
As the Chairman of the Ghost World,
he's the only one
who can defeat the Frightmares.
You expect me to believe
he's the Chairman of Ghosts?
Yeah, honestly, still getting
used to the idea myself.
Look, Ollie, I can't tell you
all ghosts are good.
They're like people.
Yeah. Some are good, some are bad,
others seem grumpy
but are maybe kind of lovable
if you give them a chance.
I know you can always see
the good in people,
so I'm asking you
to see the good in ghosts.
(gasps)
(laughs nervously)
Ollie, no!
Whew! Feels good to be out of that stuff.
Really gets in the nooks and crannies,
if you know what I mean.
Oh! Buddy!
Okay, done. You and I
will set the good ghosts free
while Scratch deals with the Frightmares.
Ghost Friends ♪
Time to bust out
my Chairman robes.
(grunting)
Let me just Hold on one
Where is the arm hole on this thing?
You know, I threw it
in the dryer one time.
-This is the guy that's gonna save us?
-Uh, yes.
LIBBY: Hello? Anyone?
I'm stuck in this pumpkin
-No! I get motion sick!
-Okay, I'm good.
Let's do this. Do I have time for a snack?
-BOTH: No!
-Okay, okay.
Here I go. I'm all in!
(all grunt)
We did not train for that in the backyard.
-(all groaning)
-(bones cracking)
We've got one last hope.
June, the Phantom Canister.
But it's just a prototype! It's not ready!
It's the only chance we have
of trapping the ghosts.
(all shriek)
LIBBY: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
(growls, shrieks)
(shrieking)
(roars)
I told you it wasn't ready.
Then at least the world
will finally see the truth,
and we'll be laughingstocks no more.
For the first time in history,
witness real ghosts on camera.
(Libby yelps)
Freedom at last!
Oh, no. Not the motion sickness!
(retching)
(growls)
I'm no fan of the old Chairman,
but honestly,
I see why he locked you
in the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
I didn't want to do this,
but you're leaving me no choice.
(clears throat)
(in distorted voice)
I curse you, Frightmares!
May you never again float free
and be bound into, um
oh, that thingy!
(all shrieking)
(beeps)
(in normal voice)
Whew! Whoa.
I believe this is a call
for a celebration.
A celebration of the, ahem, hand pie type.
With whipped cream on top, I do believe.
(chuckles)
Where are they? Oh, come on.
(beeping)
I think they're in here.
My canister worked?
Well, we didn't get the ghosts
on camera, but
This is even better.
They'll have to believe us now.
(Esther whoops, laughs)
Oh, thanks, little buddy.
Sorry again for scaring you earlier.
I still feel real bad about it.
That's all right. Oh, wow.
This does feel like hugging a marshmallow.
Hey, Ollie, quick thing:
If you ever do anything to hurt
my sweet, sweet Geoff again,
I will end you.
(whimpers, gulps)
That seems reasonable.
Okay, cool.
See you around.
I'm sorry for assuming
all ghosts were bad.
In fact, some are pretty great,
right? Boop!
Molly, we have talked
about the booping of my snoop.
Yeah, but your snoop's so cute,
it's just gotta be booped. Boop!
I really can't get over how squishy he is.
All right, all right.
When she does it, it's cool.
When you do it, it's weird.
I'm gonna eat some hand pies.
That was awesome!
I thought the special effects
in the house were realistic,
-but that was next level!
-Special effects?
Those weren't special effects.
Those were real ghosts.
Tonight proves
they're a menace to Brighton.
(girls giggling)
He thinks the ghosts were real.
How embarrassing.
(all snickering)
What? No. Don't laugh at me.
Ghosts are real!
BATES: I believe you.
I saw ghosts with my own two eyes.
(whimpers)
Don't worry. We'll protect you.
And we won't rest until every Brightonian
is safe from ghosts,
whether they believe us or not.
Yeah, they're going
to be a problem, right?
Yeah.
-Hand pie?
-Yeah, all right.
