"have reported hearing

strange noises

"coming from the house,

"which to this day

remains abandoned

"due to an ongoing dispute

over ownership

"and the city's inability

to find a buyer

willing to take on

the troubled property."

Dude! Look at these guys!

They look like total psychos!

Hey, this one looks

just like you, goggles.

Haunted by a dog?

What a bunch of baloney!

The place is just old.

We're doing this.

End of story.

Yeah, we kind of have to.

We chicken out now,

our lives at Joe Dante

middle school are gonna suck.

- Probably high school too.

- It already sucks.

Yeah, but we're talking about it

going to an entirely new level.

How are we going

to get our parents

to let us stay the night

in that old house?

It's simple.

We tell our parents

that we're staying over

at each other's houses,

and by morning,

we're heroes.

Jake and those other lug nuts

won't be able

- to push us around anymore.

- I gotta go home.

My mom's making something

that vaguely resembles meatloaf.

If I don't get there soon, my sister

will gives hers to the dog before I can.

Remember, we meet behind the

school tomorrow at 6:00.

Does this mean

no trick-or-treating?

What do you think?

This will be better.

Trust me.

Oh, okay, Charlie.

- See you tomorrow night, Charlie.

- No you won't.

Got your new wrestling coach coming

over tomorrow night, remember?

- Charlie doesn't wrestle.

- I hate wrestling, dad.

Well, that's why

you're going to take lessons.

That doesn't make any sense.

You need to do something

more physical, okay?

You're wasting too much time

at your computers.

What kind of wrestling coach

comes over on Halloween, anyway?

Bye, boys.

But dad, we have

a big geometry test coming up.

We're in a study group together.

I can't let my friends down.

What about

letting your dad down?

Day after tomorrow,

I promise.

I expect to see an "A"

on that test.

Geometry test, huh?

I know what you guys

are doing.

- You don't know anything.

- Really?

Maybe we should have a talk

with mom and dad then.

I'll do your homework

for a week.

You're not getting my bank.

I already looked in there.

There's not enough.

25 bucks, that's the price

for my silence.

I'll kill him for free.

Deal.

Not a word.

And you're doing my homework.

I'm impressed.

Didn't think

you guys would show.

This is a piece of cake.

If you're doing this

for my sister, forget about it.

- You got no shot with her.

- I'm doing this

because I'm tired of you guys

always giving us a hard time.

We do this,

you guys back off.

Deal?

Deal, but I won't

hold my breath.

Ha!

You clowns ready?

Born ready.

Yeah? Well, talk is cheap,
