Phoenix's note: Hello, Hello, HELLO, friends and fans! Say hello to the first ever Edolescence Holiday special! Though, there are only two chapters, I would still appreciate a publicized review from each of you!
The screen opened up on a windy, breezy day in the little town of Peach Creek. The sun had nearly set and it was almost 6:30 p.m. As several colored leaves floated past the camera, it shifted to the front of the Candy Store. On neighboring stores were windows decorated with ghosts, goblins, bats, and a witch flat against a door. All was quiet and peaceful to the point where one could only hear a bird tweeting.
Just then, Eddy, Ed, and Edd busted through the door of the Candy store and ran around the corner as they each carried two full garbage bags and the former two laughed heartily! When they stopped at a corner where Eddy's parked Camaro waited,
"Man, that was awesome!" Eddy wiped a tear from his eye. "I dunno who wet their pants more: that guy or me! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"I fail to see the amusement that resides within the puerile practical joke that you and Ed have just pulled, Eddy!" Edd chastised.
"Aw, c'mon, sockhead!" Eddy touched Edd's shoulder. "Ya can't tell me that ya don't find scarin' the pants off one of the old employees with a few demon chicken masks ain't funny!"
"Yeah, Double D!" Ed joined in. "I'd say it's the best $5.00 I've ever spent!"
"Terrifying the elderly employees is one thing!" Edd folded his arms. "But doing so as a diversion to absconding with jawbreakers is a far larger shelf of library books!"
"Ah, the guy's like 94 years old! He'll forget!" Eddy spun a jawbreaker around on his finger before he put it back in the bag. "Besides, I got tired of tellin' 'im that they were havin' a 15 for a $1 sale on these things! With them glasses, you'd think he'd be able to see through the freakin' walls!"
"Like Joe Laserstrike in the "Zap Comics"!" Ed joked as Edd looked at him.
"Now, c'mon!" Eddy opened his trunk up and threw his bags of candy in it as Ed and Edd did the same. It didn't close at first due to the jawbreakers' size, but it shut completely when Ed banged on it once! "I wanna see how Cody and Maggie are doin' at the X-House! This is gonna be the most badass Halloween we've ever had!"
Eddy got in the driver's seat while Edd rode shotgun and Ed in the backseat. As the car started, the remixed version of the Halloween movies' score started to play. As the Eds drove into the setting sun, the screen turned eerie black and the special's title appeared in a blue, blood-like fashion:
YOU'RE IN FOR AN ED: AN EDOLESCENCE HALLOWEEN
The screen reverted back to normal before it transitioned to the outside of the X-House. The Eds drove up the hill and onto the right wall of the house before it opened up like a garage and the Eds drove in.
Inside the "Screen room", Cody had just now placed two chairs in front of a long brown table with a huge keyboard on it. The screen room was a large theater, but was practically empty in terms of furniture besides the rows of seats. The only exception was a large, TV-like flatscreen computer the size of Nate's flatscreen TV (Third time's the Ed) on the wall.
However, the room was also very decorated for the season's occasion! On the left wall was a standee of Michael Myers, on the right wall was a standee of Jason Voorhees, and on the ceiling was a painting (possibly done by Ed) of Freddie Krueger from the 2010 film. There were also evil-looking Jack O' Lanterns in each corner of the room. As Maggie put in the last Jack O' Lantern, "You think Eddy went overboard with this whole idea?"
"No way!" Cody sat down. "He's got the right idea! We're gettin' a little old for this trick or treatin' business! So now, startin' this year, part of a treat is a trick!"
Maggie swung her hip, "Are you sure you're related to Double D?"
"Are you sure yer purple hair isn't fake?" Cody retorted as Maggie touched her head; appalled by Cody's remark.
Just then, the Eds walked in with mixed expressions on their respective faces. Eddy greeted, "What's up, guys?"
"Everything's set!" Maggie embraced Edd before the two kissed.
"Good!" Eddy tapped Cody's seat. "And there ain't gonna be no glitches this year, right? Smooth-sailin'?"
"Ya know it!" Cody replied.
"I can't wait for tonight!" Ed excitedly squeezed his fists. "Holly's putting on a special Halloween outfit just for me!"
"So are Maggie and Nazz!" Eddy folded his arms amused. "Supposed to be somethin' to arouse us with!"
Ed looked from left to right speechless until, "Yeah, but whose girl is gonna be sexier is the question!"
"Not Tori! That's for sure!" Eddy smirked. "Always wearin' that tiny playboy bunny outfit and thinkin' it's never gonna cease bein' sexy!"
"Wait! "Tori" as in "Victoria Van Bartonschmeer"?" Maggie walked up to Eddy in disbelief. "Your ex-girlfriend and your current girlfriend's cousin? She's coming here?"
"Uh…yeah!" Eddy looked around as if Maggie was making a big deal out of nothing. "She moved into the other cul-de-sac last week! Ya didn't know?"
"I didn't!" Edd jumped in.
"Well, yeah!" Eddy explained. "She and 'er mom moved here after they caught 'er dad havin' an affair and divorced 'im a month back!"
"And now, she's in a strong relationship with our big-chinned jock!" Ed added.
"KEVIN?" Maggie and Edd uttered in disbelief.
"Let's just hope he ain't more attracted to his truck!" Cody joked; referring to Kevin's purged bike and motorcycle obsession.
"You guys don't pay attention too much, do ya?" Eddy shook his head from left to right amused.
"That's 'cause they spend their days being mad scientists in Double D's garage, Eddy!" Ed added.
"C'mon, Ed!" Eddy pushed Ed out the doorway. "Let's finish settin' the place up for the party tonight!"
"I will join you!" Edd and Maggie walked out of the room as they held hands.
"Me too! I want'chu to put the snacks in the right place this time!" Cody followed his friends out of the room before the screen faded to black.
The screen reopened at the X-House at night, where the sound of party music could be heard and the vehicles of several of the main cast members could be seen on the curb and in the driveway.
Inside, there were about three orange-sheet-covered tables of Halloween-based treats from countless bowls of candy, to spider-shaped chocolate cookies, marshmallow bats, green punch, and pumpkin-colored jawbreakers. The walls were covered with glow-in-the-dark ghost and zombie paintings, black and orange (respectively) balloons, demonic skeletons, and spider-webs.
Among the party-going costume-wearing teenagers were the conversing Eddy, Nazz, Kevin, Tori, Edd, and Maggie. Eddy was costumed as "John Connor" from "Terminator Salvation" and held a fake rifle, Nazz was a maid in a really thin outfit and extra make-up, Kevin was costumed as "Leon Kennedy" from "Resident Evil" and had a fake rifle in his hand, Tori (How to Catch an Ed) was a (as aforementioned by Eddy) playboy bunny, Edd was "Van Helsing" from the 2003 film of the same name, and Maggie was a nurse. On the dance floor was Holly and Ed. The former was a policewoman and the latter was "Rick O' Connell" from "The Mummy movies".
"Like the outfit?" Holly winked at Ed.
"Love it, gravy-cake!" Ed tried to dance, but fell on the floor!
At a snack table, Sarah, Jimmy, and Jonny were talking as the latter stuffed his face with spider cookies and candy corn while Sarah and Jimmy ate some sugarcoated bonbons (Boo Haw Haw). Sarah was a "Barbie Doll", Jimmy was "Iron man" from the second movie, and Jonny was a demon raccoon and Plank was his cub!
"So, what's this surprise the Eds got planned again?" Jonny asked.
"Supposed to be some kind of-" Sarah started.
"WHAT'S UP, YALL?" the handholding Nate and Brooke walked into the X-House as everyone cheered! Nate was costumed as "Blade" from the movies of the same name and held a long, fake machete while Brooke was costumed as, ironically, a vampire in a black leather outfit that showed her cleavage. The couple walked up to Eddy and the gang and hugged one another!
"Didn't think you were comin', dude!" Kevin gave Nate some dap.
"Couldn't find my sunglasses, so I had to get some more real quick!" Nate replied. "By the way, if Twan shows up looking for somethin', I'm not here!"
The teens laughed before Eddy tapped his earpiece and heard Cody's voice on the other end, "We're ready!"
"Good." Eddy whispered back and motioned for the D.J. to cease playing the music; much to the other teens' anger. Eddy stepped in front of the staircase as a screen came down. "SHUT IT! Time for us to get to the real reason why we're here!" Eddy cleared his throat, "Know it or not, the old Ghost town, "Prunus Pond", was built over a ground inhabited by evil ghosts! The local folk were superstitious, of course! But some mayor, started havin' these…visions and claimed to have seen some freaky-ass creatures! They claimed the poor bastard was sick and decided to put him out of his misery on this very day! His last words were, "you will suffer". Now, 'ccordin' to legend, every Halloween, the mayor's ghost brings up the spirits of said holiday to stir up trouble for anyone in the town at night!"
"Oh, lord!" Edd rolled his eyes.
"Course, we're all skeptic here, but here's the rub!" Eddy continued. "Me and several self-proclaimed hard-asses are goin' to that town and scopin' it for spirits…tonight! And after midnight, we'll see who shits themselves more: you or us! TO THE THEATER!"
The teens excitedly ran out of the living room and into the theater down the hall. The only ones who remained were Eddy, Ed, Nazz, Holly, Kevin, Nate, Sarah, and Jimmy, The teens walked up to the doorway and saw everyone sitting in theater seats while Edd, Maggie, and Cody (who was costumed as Captain Jack Sparrow), sat at the table as they wore earpieces and grinned mischievously.
"Think they're ready!" Nazz sing-songed.
"Then let's get going!" Holly eagerly walked off-screen as the others followed.
The screen transitioned to the outside of an old, decrepit town with a faded sign that was supposed to read, "PRUNUS POND: POPULATION: 200" Not too far away, a white limousine was approaching with everyone who didn't sit down in the theater, was inside; including Rolf, who was dressed as a Viking (shocker!).
"So, like, how are Maggie, Double D, and Cody going to know we're there, again?" Nazz asked.
"Earlier today, Cody and Maggie put up some mini-cameras all over town!" Eddy bit into a chocolate-skull. "Moment we step in, they click on and we're in business!"
"Rolf will see to it that no fiend from beyond our mortal existence confronts us and expect not to taste his fury!" Rolf arrogantly smirked.
"Dude, there are no fiends! We're just gonna fuck with everybody till about midnight!" Kevin laughed.
"Yeah, chill, man! Everything's set!" Nate chewed his gum.
Jimmy sniffed the air, "Oh, man! What smells like must?"
Rolf sniffed the air, "Ah, yes! The aroma of delectable fungus is overwhelmingly delightful, no?" and took out a transparent bag filled with mushrooms, which filled the place up with a repulsive odor!
"ROLF, THAT'S SICK!" Nazz swallowed her vomit!
"AND SOME AM I!" Eddy put his fake gun in front of his nose!
"OH, GOD!" Nate grabbed his own neck!
"WE'RE…cough…HERE!" The driver shouted off-screen.
The kids (save for Rolf) busted out of the limo and stared breathing, coughing, and wheezing hysterically!
"Like a fucking indoor dumpster!" Holly gagged.
"Why do you express signs of sickness, friends of the blind alley that resides within our residence?" Rolf scratched his head confused.
"Let's just get in there and make people piss themselves before I end up gettin' a rash like on Ed's back!" Eddy coughed.
In the screen room, the big screen clicked on as soon as it was affirmed that everyone walked into the town.
"They're in!" Cody uttered before everyone muttered excitedly.
"Ready to get mischievous, boys?" Maggie grinned deviously.
"Indubitably, my elegant medical pixie!" Edd touched Maggie's chin as she blushed and Cody pretended to vomit!
In the town, the group were gathered together and prepared to split up and begin their objective.
"All right! Here're the groups!" Eddy started. "Me, Kevin, and Nate got the Westside! Ed, Rolf, and Jimmy got the north and south sides! And Nazz, Holly, and Sarah got the Eastside! Let's get to work!"
The kids put their hands in and raised them up high as they cheered "YEAH!" and dispersed in their given directions before the screen faded to black.
The screen reopened with Nazz, Holly, and Sarah on the Eastside of Prunus Pond, where the trio of girls were seen walking up to the old Saloon.
"Don't mean to complain, but don't'chu you think that it was a bad idea to split up?" Sarah asked.
"Sarah Chelsea Fuller!" Holly and Nazz stopped to tease Sarah. "Are you actually saying that you believe in the old myth?"
"No!" Sarah pouted. "It's just—no!"
"Yeah, right!" Nazz rolled her eyes. "As if I don't remember you nearly wetting yourself when your brother made that Mole mutant claim!"
"Oh, and you were "so totally cool" when you bought all those bananas and hotdog buns!" Sarah retorted.
"Mole Mutants?" Holly looked at Nazz.
"Long story!" Nazz replied.
The girls walked into the saloon just as the camera shifted to the screen room and showed them walking around with pumpkin-based flashlights in their respective hands. The saloon was dusty, filled with cobwebs, and smelled almost as terrible as Rolf's mushrooms.
"Ew! Eddy really knew what he was doing when he picked this place!" Holly shuttered.
"That's Eddy!" Nazz giggled. "Besides, don't you think that if we want to scare the crap out of everybody, we need to go somewhere that even we're afraid of going to?"
"You guys didn't rig this place up did you?" Sarah tipped over a table. "Cuz then we'd definitely screw up!"
At their table, Edd, Maggie, and Cody looked at each other mischievously before the latter pressed a pen-like device as he snickered quietly.
In the actual saloon, Nazz and Holly had just now sat at the bar table, but Sarah looked at them and folded her arms, "Hey, what's with you two? We're supposed to be looking for…ghosts!"
"Like, get real, Sarah!" Nazz chastised. "The only scary thing in here is shit like dust! And maid or not, I'm not cleaning it!"
"Besides, ghost hunting, or whatever, is a guy thing!" Holly added. "So, we'll act like damsels in distress and let them do whatever!"
Sarah rolled her eyes. Suddenly, one of the tables next to Sarah moved by itself before Holly gulped, "What the hell was that?"
Just then, as Sarah yelped, many of the other tables started to move away from each other and create a walkway! Just then, the place started to rumble and the old bottles of drinks fell off the shelf before the "ghost" of a town sheriff appeared and bellowed at the girls, "GET OUT OR DIE!" before he burst into demonic flames and flew towards them as they screamed and made a run for the door!
Back in the screen room, the kids of the theater either laughed or looked at each other worried. Disappointed, Edd pressed a button on a remote before the screen shifted to Rolf's gang in the south side.
In the actual area, Ed had just now walked out of a church while Jimmy ate a candy bar and Rolf ate some mushrooms as they both stood in front of it (the church).
"Couldn't find anything! Not even with this high-tech ghost hunting tracker for boys!" Ed took out a walky-talky-like device that started beeping.
"Shall Rolf consummate a secondary-investigation, he-who-dresses-as-an-old-world-figure Ed boy?" Rolf gulped.
"Nah, let's check the barn on the north side again!" Ed suggested. "What do you think Jimmy?"
Jimmy shrugged before the screen shifted to the barn just north of where the trio was before they themselves appeared on-screen.
"SLAAHARGGHHH!" Using a huge, mallet-like hammer, Rolf struck the doors of the barn open before all three boys walked inside and found nothing but a musty smell, cobwebs, and more than its fair share of hay.
"You guys go ahead! I'd get lost in there!" Ed and Rolf walked inside while Jimmy remained behind to eat his candy in peace. Rolf walked over to a huge mountain of hay as Ed ran upstairs to investigate more. Rolf slashed through the hay in search of signs of life. "No precursor of supernatural individuals here, two-eyebrows-as-one, Ed boy!"
"Ditto for up here, Rolf!" Ed jumped down off of the ladder. "All right! Ready to go, Jim-"
Ed and Rolf developed bug-eyes of fear and disbelief when they looked out the open doors! Both boys ran out of the barn before they stopped dead in their tracks in fear!
"DAH!" Ed covered his mouth!
"YA-SHEH-SHOY!" Rolf exclaimed in his own language.
The camera slowly moved towards the thing that the boys were looking at. Which was… the wide-eyed and vacant Jimmy hanging on a noose with his candy bag on the ground next to him!
"OH, AGGHHH!" Ed and Rolf ran away from the site where Jimmy was apparently hung before most of the kids in the screen room started whispering to each other fearfully while others started having second thoughts about whether or not what was happening was real!
"Now we're getting someplace!" Edd smiled at Maggie; indicating that she was perhaps the one who pulled the strings for that stunt!
Meanwhile on the Westside, Eddy's gang had just now walked out of the "Undertaker" building as they talked.
"Thought fer sure we woulda found somethin' in there!" Eddy rubbed his fake gun.
"We did!" Kevin replied. "Some green glowin' shit called, uh…what was it, Nate?"
"Ectoplasm?" Nate raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah!" Kevin added sarcastically.
"Smart-ass!" Eddy joked. "Let's check out that ol' station wagon!"
The boys walked into the station wagon, but didn't find anything but old barrels of gunpowder.
"Now, what ghost is gonna be in here?" Nate looked at Eddy.
"Last place you'd expect!" Eddy folded his arms. "Ever heard that sayin'?"
"Also heard "give up the ghost"!" Kevin added. "But this ain't Scooby-Doo!"
Suddenly, one of the barrels started to move, but only Kevin noticed it. He signaled for the other guys to get quiet while he inspected it. He tossed it to the side as he looked back at the other boys and shrugged. Just then, the ghost of a cowboy appeared in between the boys and pointed his gun at Kevin!
"WHOA!" Kevin ducked and tried to leg-sweep the ghost as he (the ghost) shot his (ghost) gun, but his foot went right through his (the ghost's) legs!
The ghost turned around and shot his other gun at Eddy and Nate, who quickly dispersed! Eddy grabbed a barrel of gunpowder and threw it at the ghost, but it went right through him before he vanished and appeared right in front of him with gleaming red eyes!
"AAAGGGHHH!" Eddy yelped in fear!
Just then, Nate came up from behind the ghost and made it vanish after he tried to slash it with his fake blade.
"LET'S GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" Eddy yelled. "THIS AIN'T NO FUN NO MORE!"
The trio of boys ran out of the station wagon as they panted and sweated uncontrollably!
From inside the screen room, we could see the teens (save for Jimmy) running up to each other in the middle of the town as the entire room of audience members (particularly Brooke, Tori, and Jonny as he squeezed Plank) started muttering and whispering to each other in concern and fear while Edd and his group only focused on the screen.
In the actual town…
"WHERE'S JIMMY?" Sarah screamed worried.
"ASK NO QUESTIONS!" Rolf replied. "WE MUST IMPLEMENT AN IMMEDIATE EVACUATION!"
"WHERE'S JIMMY?" Sarah grabbed Ed's shirt in fearful angry and pulled him down to head-level.
"HE'S…DEAD!" Ed pushed Sarah off of him before the others stared at him in shock and disbelief. "We found him hanging on an execution noose in front of the barn! Wide-eyed, candiless, and everything!"
"And we're next if we don't-" Nazz started.
Nazz was cut off when the entire town started to quake violently before a legion's worth of ghosts based on the town's past inhabitants surrounded them! Worried, Nazz grabbed Eddy's arm, Ed wrapped his arms around Holly, and Kevin, Nate, Rolf, and Sarah backed into each other just as about seven cowboys showed up and pointed their respective guns at the kids!
Right when they closed their respective eyes, the ghostly cowboys shot at them and the screen and the screen room went black; causing mass screams! After about ten seconds worth of panicky screams, Edd, Maggie, and Cody looked at one another triumphantly before they looked back at the screen and it suddenly clicked back on and took place in the now vacant spot it was just in!
Five seconds after it got silent, everyone who was believed to be dead (including Jimmy) hopped on screen completely unscathed with mischievous facial expressions!
"FOOLED YA, DIDN'T WE?" Eddy and company laughed into the mini-camera. "HAPPY HALLOWEEN, SUCKAS! NOW GET OUTTA THERE AND ENJOY THE PARTY…LIKE THE PUSSIES YOU ARE!"
The screen clicked to black before the entire room lit back up and was filled with angered and disgusted teenagers (save for Edd's group)!
"Dick move" is right, Plank!" Jonny pouted. "What a buncha ass-faces!"
"Pretty clever, guys!" Brooke and Tori walked towards Edd and his group!
"Yeah! You mislead us just to get a laugh!" Tori folded her arms.
"Quite the contrary, Tori!" Edd stood up. "By failing to assimilate the precise knowledge of the town's legendary chronicle spoken by Eddy, you yourselves allowed your mind to be mislead!"
"Excuse me?" Tori raised her eyebrow.
"Eddy stated that the so-called apparition army helmed by the town's murdered mayor was the basis of the latter's sworn retribution!" Edd explained. "What you witnessed were the apparitions of the supposed, long-deceased inhabitants rather than the former!"
"Which we engineered through the magical use of wires and portable holographic projectors!" Maggie swung her hip. "And of course, really good local actors!"
"In other words, loves, you've been punked!" Cody added while in the character of Jack Sparrow.
"Wow, Eddy's good!" Tori raised her eyebrows surprised. "Then again, he did pass all the mental skills exams with flying colors!"
"And it's normally guys like that that end up becoming criminal masterminds!" Brooke joked.
The teens laughed before Maggie grabbed Edd's hand, "C'mon, guys! Let's get back to the party!"
The teens walked off-screen before the camera zoomed in on the theater TV and transitioned to the Prunus Pond ghost town. All was foggy in the town now and there was an eerie silence broken only by the sound of a teenage boy's laughter in the old hotel. In one of the rooms, the boys (save for Jimmy) were trading candy as they sat on the floor and used a ghost-shaped lamp as light.
"I'll trade'ga one jawbreaker for three bags of peanut N&Ns!" Eddy raised a pumpkin-colored jawbreaker.
"Deal!" Kevin snatched the jawbreaker and threw three fun-sized bags of peanut N&Ns at Eddy.
"All right! Who wants this candied orange?" Nate held up a basketball-sized candied orange on a stick before Ed suddenly munched the whole as Nate shouted, " 'EY!"
"What?" Ed nonchalantly chewed the candy up. "You asked who wanted it! You didn't auction it!"
"Rolf will trade you this deliciously colored fungus in exchange for a cucurbita-themed jawbreaker, enlarged-chin Kevin boy!" Rolf held up a multi-colored mushroom.
"Dude, for the last time, ain't no one gonna eat ya freakin' mushrooms instead of candy!" Kevin folded his arms. "Give it up!"
The door slammed open as Nazz and Holly stood in the doorway.
"All right, guys! Trading time's over!" Nazz clapped her hands three times. "Out!"
"OHHHH!" Kevin, Rolf, and Ed (who grabbed Holly's waist) walked out of the room as Eddy stood up and Nazz walked in.
"Aw, c'mon, sweetheart!" Eddy grinned. "I was just about to close a majorly sweet deal that'll last us till next Halloween!"
"Oh, I'll show you a sweet deal!" Nazz amorously closed the door with her foot and pushed Eddy onto the old hotel bed! She jumped on top of him before they started making out!
Meanwhile, across the hall, Jimmy and Sarah were sitting on a bed as they ate candy and talked.
"I have to say it, Sarah! I think everyone was more scared of this prank than I was my entire life!" Jimmy chuckled.
"Don't think it was that scary, Jimmy!" Sarah bit into her chocolate bar.
"Hey, don't knock my confidence…or past!" Jimmy ate some jolly ranchers.
"This was a rad prank, all right, Jimmy!" Sarah agreed. "But don't'chu think the whole idea is kinda cheesy?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sayin' what idiot would really believe a ghost story about a mayor's Halloween monsters gettin' even cuz he was looked at as a moron?" Sarah mocked. "I mean, c'mon!"
As Sarah prepared to take another bite out of her chocolate bar, she heard a CREAK noise.
"You heard that?" Sarah asked.
"Heard what?" Jimmy shrugged.
CREAK!
"There it is, again!" Sarah raised her voice, "ED! QUIT TRYIN' TA SCARE ME OR I'M TELLIN' MOM ABOUT THAT D YA MADE ON THAT TEST!"
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of psychotic laughter. It was not in the room per se, but it seemed to have originated from somewhere close.
"Um…what was that?" Jimmy gulped.
In the other room, Eddy and Nazz continued to make out and giggle before the screen shifted to the dark "lobby" downstairs. From a crack in the floor and after seven seconds of suspenseful silence and dramatic music…purple, living liquid clay emerged from the crack and started to laugh psychotically even though it didn't have a face!
The clay then sloshed into a crack in the wall and traveled upwards inside of it as it continued to laugh diabolically!
In Sarah and Jimmy's room, the two were picking up wrappers and humming to themselves before the sound of the diabolical liquid clay's laughter grabbed Jimmy's attention!
"Uh…S-S-Sarah?" Jimmy stuttered fearfully! "There it is again!"
Sarah looked around and heard the laughter, but did not know where it was coming from! She uttered with a slightly frightened tone, "That ain't Ed!" and embraced Jimmy! Just then, unbeknownst to the kids, the liquid clay ceased laughing as it poured into the room via a crack in an upper corner!
"Do you hear something?" Jimmy shivered.
The liquid clay then sloshed over to the back-turned Jimmy and Sarah before it slowly began to form into a rather muscular creature with the head of a skull and teeth as sharp as a vampire's!
"I got a bad feeling about this!" Sarah started to sweat uncontrollably.
Jimmy then noticed a casted shadow over both him and Sarah and turned around in time to see the demonic clay creature just as it started to laugh psychotically once more!
"AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Sarah and Jimmy embraced in a fearful, bug-eyed manner as the camera zoomed in on the still-laughing creature's face!
In the hallway, Eddy, Nazz, Kevin, Rolf, Ed, Holly, and Nate stepped out of their rooms and wondered what all the noise was!
"What the hell was that?" Ed scratched his eyebrow!
"I don't know!" Holly replied. "But it sounded like it was coming from your sister's room!"
"Let's check it out!" Kevin ran at the door, but Rolf pulled him back and uttered, "Has the blood in your jowl ascended to your cerebrum, hotshot Kevin? We must tread cautiously so as not to jeopardize the possible fates of the young ones, yes?"
Rolf took out his extremely large axe (Out with the old, in with the Ed) and destroyed the door to Sarah and Jimmy's room!
"Yeah! Real subtle!" Nate walked into the room first. The others followed and saw that nothing was out of order except for one thing…Jimmy and Sarah were missing!
"Sarah! Sarah!" Ed shouted; but there was no response.
"Yo, Stark!" Eddy tried calling Jimmy; but there was no response. "Where are ya?"
Nazz walked over to a wall and developed bug-eyes when she looked up before she uttered, "Uh…guys?"
Everyone walked up behind Nazz as she pointed to what she was looking at. When they looked up…they saw that an upper corner of the room had a human-sized hole with purple clay dripping from it! The teens remained quiet out of fear as they each gulped!
The screen cut to the outside of the hotel before, in this order, Eddy, Kevin, Ed, Nate, Nazz, Holly, and Rolf busted through the front door and ran in the middle of the street fearful, but in-control!
"All right! I don't need a cowboy's ghost tellin' me that we gotta get outta this fuckin' town!" Kevin shouted.
"Not without my sister!" Ed yelled.
"Wake up, Fuller!" Kevin retorted. "Ya saw that big-ass hole in the wall with some crap drippin' from it! No one knows we're here and if they did, what reason do they got for kidnappin' Jimmy and Sarah?"
"I DUNNO!" Ed exclaimed. "BUT NO ONE'S GOIN' ANYWHERE TILL I FIND THEM!"
"Nate, help me out here!" Kevin turned to Nate.
"He's right, Kev!" Nate agreed with his Ed. "We gotta find the freshmen before we even think about goin'! Otherwise, we're gonna hafta do some serious explainin' to their parents!"
"Are you kiddin' me?" Kevin shouted. "They could already be dead!"
"Don't think so!" Eddy doubted. "If whoever got 'em wanted to kill 'em, we woulda saw their bodies on the floor, not gone! So, like it or not, we're stayin' here till we find-"
Eddy was suddenly cut off by the sound of a horse whinnying in the foggy distance. The kids all went silent as they slowly turned their heads in that direction. In the fog, five silhouetted figures appeared and looked as if they were coming towards them. They produced cold sweat and visible breath as the figures began to step out of the fog. They each developed bug-eyes when they saw exactly what they were looking at!
From left to right, a werewolf with gleaming yellow eyes, a vampire with gleaming red eyes, a headless horseman (pumpkin-head included), a goblin with scars all over its body, and a moist, beefy zombie with skeletal protrusions! And each of them stood at least 6'4 (the horseman included)!
[What in the gods' names?] Rolf uttered in his own language.
"Oh…" Holly stared at the monsters.
"…Shit!" Nazz gulped.
The horseman's horse whinnied as it stood on its back legs and he (the horseman) spat fire through "his mouth" before the screen cut to black!
Did you know: "N&Ns" are a parody of the popular candy, "M&Ms", while "candied oranges" are an especially exaggerated parody of "candied apples". "Prunus Pond" is named for the genus, "Prunus".
Phoenix's note: My inspiration for this special episode are the movies "Halloween: Resurrection" and "Ghost Town". The latter of which appeared on TV rather than a theater. But enough ranting! On with the show!
