Hair, nails, earrings, this is going to be the most demonic bunch of goons we've ever seen.  And the horns and garish, hideous faces stand out as the monsters.  And because of the time traveling dream of this party, the guests come in creepy, leathery disguises - strangely goo-like.  Charles comes in his Beast, no shirt, black face and of course his little acrobatic hippy outfit, a bear mask, the Beast is up to no good on the dance floor.  Jennah follows her heart, she literally dances like the Muppets before her!  

Liam: My heart does want a rock star, no doubt!  

Zoe walks up to the guys, ready for some Halloween fun.  She looks slightly de-programmed.  

Zoe: Well, i'm going to check the wizzled faces off.  

She mimes wiggling her eyebrows.  Charles sits at the table, he looks rather sad, alone.  Jenny, is by his side.  Jenah makes her way over to him.  

Jenny: For the last thousand years, men have been walking the earth in costumes, no one has ever taken the disguise of a woman and as long as i live, no woman will take the disguise of a man.  

She pauses for a second, thinking. 

Nadia: We think we're a clown and spider. 

Kaz: You both look good. 

(Emily Goes Heart-Eyed): Thanks, Kaz. Don’t make me choose.  

They all walk to the first interior room.  Page 58 

Nadia and the girls: we’re impressed.

Jennah: Okay, guys, we're going to Miya Mummy's school and meeting the girl ghouls. 

(Everyone Cheers) 

Ru: Do you know how to get there, Jennah? 

(Jennah Nods): Mm-hmm. Follow me, everyone. 

Back to Nadia and Yuuki: They smile to each other and kiss to Kat.  

Yuuki: No wonder Kat is friendly.  It means a lot.  Everyone:  Let's move!  

The girls: Ok, move, let's go.  We gotta figure out the next step.  

Kaz and Emily: They look at each other.  

(Emily nervous, but tries to appear otherwise): Next we need a plan to kill something.  

Kaz: If we don't have a plan we're dead.  What is there to kill?  

Emily: Beasts, monsters or anything that lives in the Land of Death.  So i was thinking we need to catch something and kill it.  An idea!  Mysterious magical dragon monster.  We’ll race up to the spot where this dragon lives.  We gather the kids' supplies, and then run up the hill.  We arrive at the spot where this beast lives.  a shock goes through everyone! 

Jennah: i'm so excited to meet Miya Mummy, aren't you, guys? 

Drew: You betcha! 

Wick: These ghouls are gonna be friendly, right, Jennah. 

Jennah: Yes, Wick. 

Nadia: i think these ghouls are always friendly. 

Emily: i don't know about this, Nadia. 

(Ru Puts her Hand on Emily's Shoulder) 

Ru: Emily, i want you to be brave enough. You're 14 years old, and your a big girl. 

(Emily Goes Heart-Eyed): Thanks for the idea, Ru. You're a good friend. Hey, Jennah? 

Jennah: Yes, Emily? 

Emily: Are we probably gonna play Halloween games and have a feast? 

Jennah: i believe so. Whatever you do, Emily, don't jump in Alecia's arms if there's anything scary. But i also don't want to be the one behind the camera.  You should send in your best guess for what's scary.  Thank you. 

(The Production Supervisor, Andrew (30s):) So i thought the term, 'virile' would be appropriate.  

Bowery: i think you should play Alice in Wonderland.  And since your doing it, you can say whatever's coming to your head.  

Bowery: i think Dracula is funny.  i'm not ready to write this sub-par writer off as dead.  

Bowery: Just don't plagiarize!  The guys would be happy.  

Bowery: i think we should play The Family Circle on Oct 15th.  

Bowery: and we're not seeing any signs of our beloved Rabbi Shimon.  

Bowery: It's time for Brewster's Front of Line.  

(They Older Guest 1:) Well my kid goes to private school, they have a school play on every year.  

(They Older Guest 2:) No Pun intended.  When it's just "Oh, they're having a play at that school, cool."  

Bowery: it's great.  It's just like.  It's here.  We're here.  

(They Guests put on theater attire.)  

The Hill: We're all connected.  Our phones are our eyes, but my eyes are the only cameras we have to see everything.

(Jennah and her Friends Walk Inside the School) 

Jennah: Hello? Anybody home? 

Miya Mummy (Off-Screen): Come on in. 

Emily: w-Who said that? 

Miya Mummy: Why, i did. It's me, Miya Mummy. It's her time, so get there.  

Jennah: Wait. 

Emily (o.s.Voice Over) Anybody here?  

Jennah: w-Who said that?  

Emily: Miya Mummy.  Anybody here?  

Jennah: w-w-Who said that?

Emily: Mom!  

Jen: i'll give you thirty bucks just to watch us.  

Miya Mummy: Hm? Watching?  Wait a minute, i don't remember inviting anyone.  (Playfully) That's not me.  

Jennah: It is now.  

Emily: Who told you that?  

Miya Mummy: Nobody.

Jennah: Hello, Miya Mummy. It's been a long time since we last met. 

Miya Mummy: It sure has, Jennah. Who are you friends? 

Jennah: This is Drew, Adena, Savanna, Cheyene, Kaylee, Krystal, Kaz, Ru, Lauren, Ava, Ava, Nadia, Wick, Grass, Emily, Wizzy, Belle, Ellianna, Isabelle, and Alecia. 

Jennah's Friends: Hi, Miya Mummy. 

Miya Mummy: Why, hello, everybody. It's so nice to meet you. 

(Dr. Buzzbill Appears) 

(Emily Screams and Jumps in Alecia's Arms): Hey! i have to see you first.  i need to take a leak.  (Laughs) Alleluia!  Not a better word for this woman.  

Miya Mummy: Wait a minute.  Oh my.  (Laughs) i'm so sorry.

Jennah: Emily, i thought weren't gonna jump in Alecia's arms. 

Emily: i'm sorry, Jennah. i had no choice. 

Miya Mummy: Don't be afraid, Emily. This is my bossy guy, Dr. Buzzbill. He's harmless. 

(Dr. Buzzbill Nods his Head in Agreement) 

Miya Mummy: Welcome to my school. 

Alecia: We heard you were having a party at your school. 

Emily: And your girls are here to greet us. 

Miya Mummy: Yes. Girls, come forth, please. 

Dr. Buzzbill: Ah-haha! i knew he was holding back the party for one night.  

The Mummy is as gullible as we can be.  Emily rolls her eyes then stands beside the girls.  They give her their aghast looks for her to take the lead.  

Dr. Buzzbill: Don't be such a hypocrite, once the truth is coming out, when it becomes public, you all become enemies.  But don't worry.  i never liked being the enemy of a man.  There's always someone else who shares your so called fake hero and that was true, too.  

Stuart: But what about the other man? The other man that would want to kill us if she told were being paraded as criminals?  

Dr. Buzzbill: She has the Genesis device.  (thinks for a second, rolls his eyes) Alecia, you can stop this.  Holding back the teacup.  Smiling and takes back Stuart, then looks at Dr. Buzzbill and she's amused.  Jennah, Miya, you guys wait outside my mama's house.  They head off.  The house is full of Mother/daughter pairs.  

Miya Mummy: This place reminds me of home.  

Emily: As if by magic.  In fact, my mama used to tell me stories.

(Vladka as a Bat Flies Forth, then Turns into a Human) 

Vladka: Hello. My name is Vladka. It's fang-tastic to meet you all.

(Jennah and her Friends aren't Scared, but Smile) 

mr. cavendish: Who's Mr. Cavendish?  You a human being?  Yeah right!  You look like a human being with that duck suit.  How's it goin' in Tarzan's jungle?  

They laugh at him.

(Changet Has a Rope and Attempts to Bring Jennah Up) 

Changet: i got her! i got her, boys! 

(An Alligator Shows Up) 

Changet: i didn't get her. 

(The Alligator Chases Off Changet, Beck, and Robinson) 

Changet: he did! The Hog Heave Hop is finished!  Let's come down!  

Heave Hoop is commenced.  The Re-dancers cheer as the Hog Dance is begun.  The Roadie swings his massive sledgehammer down on the Drunk's head, shattering his helmet and killing him.  The New Girl screams and runs off.  As the dance nears completion, the Alligator showmen up on its back, then dives down into the water.  Alligator squeezes into the water, struggling to get over the shoulders of the Re-dancers.  It heads for the dancing Men and women and quickly climbs onto Beck's shoulders.  Beck looks up and sees the Gator roaring at him.  Beck begins to scream hysterically at the sheer horror of the scene.

Lindsey: Look, Kaz. i love to hang the decorations. The ghosts fly through the air. 

Kaz: Wow! 

Tessa: Hey, Wick, there's a witch living in this room like Lindsey. 

Wick: Very nice. 

Francine: Hey, Drew. Me and Wilhemina are carving a face in a pumpkin, and we place them on the porch where they can glow. 

Wilhemina: What she said. 

Drew: Awesome! Boo! 

Helga: Look, Ru. i tied a few threads to this yarn in knots and braids to make a web. It's like a spider has made. 

Ru: Outstanding. 

Vladka: Grass, i hang the decoration to look like bats. 

Grass: Amazing. 

Gwen: Hey look, Adena and Savanna, me and Bonnie filled a bowl of candy for everyone who goes trick-or-treating. 

Bonnie: That's right. 

Adena and Savanna: Wow. 

Tanis: Look, Emily. Look, Nadia. Me, Gustel, and Carla made our own bags to knock on any doors and saying trick or treating. 

Gustel: Exactly. 

Carla: Definitely. 

Emily: That's my line. But nice. 

Nadia: Cool. Why are you so dressed up, Bats?  

Maurice: Because we're about to do some stuff for this costume party that you guys should be there too.  Should be something special you can't stop talking about, the most magical night of your Halloween.  Hey, we're inviting all you Batsies to the party.  It's gonna be a blast.  

Maurice: You guys stay, and have fun.  You'll love the house, everything's gonna be cool.  The spirit of Halloween will be with you and always be safe, if you get my meaning.  Halloween always comes, Halloween always ends.  

Gwen: Wait.  How will it be worth it when the party is over?  Yeah, but there won't be any trick or treating?  

Maurice: It'll all be like a carnival.

(They Joyfully Finished Decorating) 

Jennah: Wow! Look at the school! 

Drew: Boo! It's awesome! 

Jennah: Let's all have a party. This year can't be complete without a wedding!  

Drew: And i'd like to forget the last 3 hours.  Family time's what's important.  

Drew and Jennah walk away and stop for a moment.  

drew: i see your upset Mom.  Why's she being so mean?  

Jennah: So you happy we're getting married?  

She doesn't seem to care at all.  

Drew: If she doesn't have any good advice for us, i'll call the police and have her hung.  But if i have to yell for 15 minutes to let them know our love is not for sale, then i will.  

She gives him a sour look.

(Everyone is Having a Halloween Feast) 

Emily: So, is it fun for any of you guys to play volleyball lately? 

Gustel: It sure is. Miya Mummy shows up at the volleyball games from time to time. 

Carla: i agree. You should come to our game sometime, Kaz. 

Kaz: Sounds fun. Still remember how crazy your games used to be then. 

Wilhemina: Good times. Good times. Hey, do you guys ever wonder what happened to Sammy and Alexis? 

(Everyone Agrees) 

Carla: i know one thing.  He may not be dead after all.  Good-bye monsters.  As soon as we all step back from our “No Teeth” faces we get dizzy from all the mist in the air and find ourselves flying through the air.  Every one of our faces looks horrified as we slowly descend and begin to descend towards the ground.  The view gets blurry and the wind buffets us to the back.  Our pace slows down.  Soon, we are floating in the air.  We all stop to take it all in.  As our sight fades, we begin to hear someone calling for help.  

It is a little girl.  She sounds as if she is crying and doing her best to look like her normal self.  Suddenly, she raises her hands.  Angry, and frustrated.  The brightness level drops to normal.  She is walking aimlessly, thinking the worst.

Ru: This will make Changet, Beck, and Robinson believe we're haunting. 

(Kaylee, Krystal, Kaz, and Ru Let Out a Ghostly Wail)
