Halloweentown Page #3

Hm,

Every time you come into this house,

it's-it's chaos,

And the candy and the decorations

and the,,,

(sighs)

Mother, Mom,

Let's not fight again,

I know you're only here

for a couple of hours,

Go and tell them a story,

Talk to them and get to know them,

But on your honor, don't tell them

about home, Your home, I mean,

Oh, don't worry, dear,

I won't tell them a thing,

Thank you,

Ah,,,

Whoo! Boo!

Hi,

Just came by to check that everyone's

got their thermostat set to 68 degrees,

because it's important to conserve energy

during the evening hours,,,

Dylan, just get in here,

Which story are you gonna tell us,

Grandma? Is it one I know?

Oh, no, I wouldn't think so,

My story is about a magical place

where many sorts of different creatures

live together in peace,

Like Cleveland?

I hear they have a nice school district,

Well, actually, the place I'm speaking of

is called Halloweentown,

And the residents are a bit more,,, exotic,

Monsters, goblins, ghosts,

vampires, gnomes and skeletons,

Do they have dybbuks and banshees

there too?

By the dozens,

And of course, a few very fine witches,

I don't like witches,

They're mean and scary,

Oh, no, no, no, sweetheart,

I mean, they're just like everyone else,

Some are kind, some are mean,

That's the way they use their magic,

You can't tell what's in a monster's heart

just by looking at 'em,

I mean, sometimes,

some of the slimiest, raunchiest,

ugliest little monsters

turn out to be the nicest,

- I want to go there!

- Oh,

Excuse me, but we have

an impressionable young child here,

I think we should make it clear that this

place we're talking about is just pretend,

Oh, yes, yes,

Well, actually, I have to confess that I didn't

make it up, I read about it in a book,

So you see, maybe it is real,

- A book? What book?

- Oh,,,

There, Halloweentown.

- Let me see!

- All right,

Look, a ghost,

- Just like we were playing, Grandma,

- Mm,

Oh, look, and there's a werewolf

and a vampire and a gnome,

Dog Man,

Oh, Grandma, this book is so neat,

It has, like, all the stuff I'm interested in,

Great, the weirdo encyclopedia,

Ew, Snot Man,

- Look, it's Marnie!

- Uh-huh,

It is me,

She doesn't look anything like you,

She's way too cute,

Oh, yeah, and this is from a guy

who could win an ugly contest,

Well, there is quite a resemblance,

Perhaps Marnie has a secret life

we don't know anything about,

Well, if she is a witch,

she's got the weird part down pat,

It's just the magic powers she's missing,

What about it, dear?

Have you cast any spells or taken

midnight flights through the sky?

I wish,

But the truth is,,,

there's nothing special about me,
