MAN: (ON RADIO)Today marks
another record-high
temperature for New Orleans
as our heatwave enters
its third sweltering week.
Meteorologists are predicting
-things will only get worse
in the weeks to follow.
-(MOANING)
-(GROANS)
-So be sure
to stay hydrated
(PANTING)
Come to pa,
Popsicle.
(SLURPS) Ow!
This heat is unbearable.
If Mina's dad doesn't fix
the AC soon,
we're all gonna melt.
(EXPLOSION)
Huh, the air conditioner
just made
boomy noise.
(WHINING)
We're doomed.
Hey, I think
the freezer's broken.
It's not broken.
You just let
all the cold out.
Well, good.
Now it's all
out here with us then.
Not how it works, Harold.
(GROANS)
(MOANING)
(PANTING HEAVILY)
Oh, there has to be
some place we can go
to cool off.
Well. Science
tells us
that heat rises,
so that means it'll be cooler
the lower we go.
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Yeah. We can't get
lower than the basement.
No, guys, please don't.
Please, anywhere but there.
Can we just
Guys?
Well, it is less sun hot
down here.
I'd say it's more
of a musty cave hot.
Okay, yeah.
Just cave hot.
Yeah, this is good,
we'll be fine.
Just as long as
none of you guys
touch any
-Oh, come on!
-(CRASH)
(BOTH GIGGLE)
Wait, is that a door?
Oh, yeah,
it's a door.
Oh, yeah.
Feels super cold.
-Let's open it.
-No!
Look. I know
we're sweating
our brains out,
but let's really
think about this.
There's probably
a very good reason
why that was hidden
behind a bunch of stuff.
I really don't think
we should open it.
It could be some kind
of a meat locker for monsters
or the tomb of a yeti
Or a wendigo
or a trapped spirit
of an angry snowman
or the home of
a zombie polar bear.
Ah! Yay!
Frosty cold.
Why would there be
just a giant block of ice?
I am not touching
that thing.
Come on, Chester,
you know you want to.
(SIGHS)
Oh.
Yeah, come on,
Chester.
HAROLD:
Come on, Chester.
Okay, fine.
Move over.
(ALL SIGH IN RELIEF)
(MUFFLED)
Guys?
Help?
Ah!
Iced milkshake.
(SLURPING)
MINA: Bunn, Chester, Harold.
Got a surprise
for you guys.
Phew! Okay.
This should hold us over
until Dad finishes
fixing the AC.
Oh, hey, boys,
how does that feel?
MINA'S DAD: Hey, Mina.
Can you bring me
some duct tape
and a stick of gum?
Um, sure, Dad.
Be right back.
(ALL SIGHING)
(SIGHS)
Not bad, Mina.
Not bad.
(SIGHS)
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(MUFFLED)
This feels so good.
Ooh!
I sound like a robot.
You know, guys,
we should just relax.
I'll play us some tunes.
You can never go wrong
with Coltrane.
Uh, when did we get
two record players?
Well, great.
Now, we'll have one
in the study too.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Friends, where can
I find parts for
a tachyon Freon
emulsifier?
Uh, have you checked
the junk drawer
in the kitchen?
Junk drawer.
In the kitchen.
(MUTTERS)
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
Hey, where did the
other record player go?
Um, maybe you took it
when you were looking
for parts for the
taco-free pacifier.
Harold, have you
hit your head?
'Cause that makes no sense.
But you just asked
for the parts for something
that sounded kind of
science-ey
and then you went
in to the kitchen.
Are you crazy, Harold?
You just saw me
go into the study.
Yeah, but you saw him
go in to the kitchen,
right, Bunn?
(UTENSILS CLANKING)
(GASPS)
See, Chester,
there you are.
That is not me.
I am right here.
That has to be
some kind of a
Some kind of a
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Bunnicula says
it was a shape-shifter.
(STUTTERING)
A shape-shifter?
So, it can turn
in to anyone
or anything?
Where did it go?
It couldn't have
just disappeared.
And what's it doing
taking apart
all that electrical stuff?
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
He says
it might be building
something.
-(DISTANT GROWLING)
-Building something?
That doesn't sound good.
We better check on Mina.
Oh, she's right here.
Hey, Mi--
Shh. Wait, wait.
Something's not right.
How do we know
if that's the real Mina?
It looks like Mina to me.
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
She looks weird.
My monster radar
is going off like crazy.
But I have a plan.
Follow me.
Closer.
(SLOWLY) Closer.
Bunnicula, get that thing.
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Uh, guys?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you guys doing
just standing behind me?
-ALL: Huh?
-(SCOFFS)
I guess this heat is making
us all a little crazy.
I better go upstairs and see
how Dad's coming along
with that air conditioner.
Wait a minute.
Harold?
Didn't I just see you
upstairs playing
with the broken radio?
(NERVOUSLY)
Huh. That's weird.
I guess this heat
makes you see
crazy things.
(HEAVING)
What?
Do you rember being
upstairs with a bunch
of electronic parts, Harold?
Uh, well, no. I was
just with you guys
in the kitchen.
Exactly. So whatever
Mina saw wasn't you,
it was this thingy.
And it's clearly
taking those parts
for something.
And if we don't
find out what, we won't
know what kind
of horrifying evil
it will unleash.
Maybe it's an alien
trying to contact
its brethren
to come invade,
or maybe it's building
some sort of
a world-ending device
and Why are we
just standing around
talking about it?
Gosh. Is it suddenly
really hot again
or is it just
(GASPS)
What have you done?
Oh, this really handsome
dog said
he needed the fan parts
for his machine.
And did this "handsome dog"
look anything like you?
Uh, you know what?
He did.
-That was the thingy!
-(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Yeah, he was headed
upstairs.
We could probably
catch him if we hurry.
(GASPING)
Oh, I
I don't know.
Do you guys think
we should have some
sort of a plan, I mean
I'm starting
to think that
(SIGHING)
They really gotta stop
doing that.
(ALL GASP)
No. It got Mina's little
unicorn pony alarm clock.
Not the little
unicorn pony alarm clock!
(SOBBING)
This thingy is truly
a monster.
(CONTINUES SOBBING)
Get a hold of yourself, man.
It looks like it got in to
all of our other electrical
equipment as well.
Being that it's
a shape-shifter
means it could be
anything in this room.
It could be looking at us
right now.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(SCREAMS)
You won't get me.
(SCREAMS)
(BARKING)
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Chester, what are you
What are you guys doing?
(DOOR SHUTS)
I think the heat
is making you boys
completely lose it.
Man, I hope this AC
gets fixed soon.
Well, it should be, Mina.
'Cause I just left you
upstairs to work on it.
You seem to really know
what you're doing.
What?
I wasn't in the attic.
Has the heat made
everybody go crazy?
Oh, no.
It's just as we feared.
It's converted
the air conditioner into
some kind of weapon.
We gotta destroy it
before it destroys us.
Uh, wait a minute.
Looks like Mina's dad
is still working on it.
(ALL GASPING)
That's the thingy
all right.
(GROANS)
Uh, how do we know
which one's the real Chester?
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
(SCREAMING)
Where'd it go?
(GROWLS)
-What are you doing?
-I got it. I got the thingy.
Get off. I am Chester.
I am the real Chester.
Well, how do we know that?
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Well, how do I know
one of you
isn't the thingy?
(ALL MURMURING)
Huh?
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Don't let it go.
Don't let it get
to the machine.
You'll never get away
with it, me!
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Bunnicula.
(SHRIEKS)
(GROANS)
(BEEPING)
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
CHESTER:
Oh, no.
-This is really it.
-HAROLD: I love you guys
so much.
Before we go,
I just wanna say
Harold, sometimes
I eat your doggy treats.
-(EXPLOSION)
-Huh?
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Nice and cool.
Oh, this feels
so much better.
Uh, it sure does.
Wait, did you take
all those parts just to
fix the AC?
Oh, yes,
and I do apologize
if I scared you earlier.
(CHUCKLES)
The heat makes me mic
anything and anyone
around me.
Aunt Marie installed
that freezer
to keep me from reverting
to my unmannered state.
-(GIGGLES)
-Oops.
Guess we shouldn't have
opened it.
No. Pish posh.
It happens.
Now if you three
will excuse me,
I am going to freeze
myself once again.
Tally ho.
Wow. I guess she just
wanted to be
back in the ice.
Yeah, you know,
turns out she was pretty
chill all along.
(CHUCKLES)
You see what I did?
You see?
-Chill.
-Yeah, Harold,
-we get it.
-HAROLD: Yeah,
'cause it's cold
It's a summer miracle.
(SIGHING)
The thingy is back
in her box
and the AC is fixed.
So to speak.
I guess I was wrong
Argh!
Hey.
(BOTH GIGGLING)
You guys are
gonna regret that.
(BUNNICULA AND HAROLD
GIGGLING MERRILY)
