- Hey, look, a pentagram!

- Wow!

Lon Chaney had one of these on his palm

when he got bitten by that werewolf,

So he did,

I've always said the movies

can teach us about life,

Mother, as I just got through telling Marnie,

Halloween is not,,,

What else can I do, Grandma?

Well, now, why don't you

put out the pumpkins, you see?

They have such cute little faces,

just like yours!

Neat!

Oh, and I thought you'd appreciate these,

- Hieroglyphics!

- Mother!

You know, these look like the ones

from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Very good,

I'll bet you get A's in school,

Actually, she gets B's and C's,

I get the A's,

Ow,

You know, Grandma,

this is totally awesome!

I mean, nobody around here

really appreciates my taste in weird stuff,

- Encouragement, not good,

- No,

And you know what else? I have dja vu

a lot, I mean, like, all the time,

Really?

- Well, you know, if you could practice,,,

- Mother!

Could I talk to you in the kitchen

for just one minute?

Absolutely, dear, As soon as I get

the children into their costumes,

Costumes?

- Whoo!

- Wow!

And the ghost! Oh, there!

- What?

- Ooh, ooh!

Yes, now this is the winner,

This is so awesome!

Ah, I'm a wiccan!

I'm a ghost!

I think I'm a big pimple,

All right, that's it, Mother, these children

are not going out trick-or-treating,

and now it is time for dinner,

- But Mom,,,

- No, no, She's right, She's right,

- (whispering) We'll eat the candy later,

- OK,

Come on, here we go, Whoo!

Ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Oh no, dear,

It's more like a moaning sound,

You know, ghosts tend to be very

depressed creatures, anyway, Like this:

(moaning)

Well, Mother,

your visit's been very educational,

- But it's time for bed,

- Oh, Mom!

She's right,

Your mother and I need

to talk about grownup things, anyway,

- Can't you at least tell us a bedtime story?

- Yeah, great idea!

Yeah!

I mean, horrible idea,

- Come on, Mom, please?

- Just one?

- Please, please?

- Please?

Well,,,

- All right, but just one,

- Yes!

Oh, good,

See you upstairs, Grandma,

You guys get ready for bed,

We'll be right up,

Oh, I missed them so,

You know, dear, I've been thinking,

I'd love to have you move back home,

Gwen,

I mean, there's plenty of room

for all of you at my house,

Mother,,,

And since William's passed on,

there's nothing to hold you here,

Nothing has to hold me here, Mother,

I like being here,

I can have a normal life here,

They can have a normal life here,

Oh, being normal is vastly overrated,

Well, I like being normal,

You know, Mother, as much as I want

the kids to know their family,

the fact is,,, you're not normal,
