Hey.

Where am I?

Yeah!

Ah-ha! All right! Ha-ha!

Krumm, Krumm, wake up, Krumm!

Wake up, Krumm!Ickis?

You're not a can.

Too bad.

Yeah, right,
now get your eyes.

We're supposed
to meet Oblina.

Where's the other one?

I put it here before
I went to sleep.

At least I thought I did.

Wait, I'm seeing something.

But it's all dark.

[distant seagulls squawking]

Banana peels, coffee grounds,

metal shavings,

and all mixed
into a delightful stew.

Oh, no!

Mmm...

Excuse me coming through,
emergency!

[Krumm panting]

[growling][chuckling]

Loral!

How are you, little buddy?

[Krumm]
That's the seventh time this
week I've lost my eye.

Oh, Krumm, dear,
these things happen.

Not to you!

You have a place
for your eyes.

Me, I have to carry 'em around
day in and day out.

Come on, Krumm,
none of us is perfect.

Look at these babies.

If I'm not careful,
I pick up radio.

I don't care.

I'm tried of being different.

I'm the only monster
who has to carry his eyes

and I'm sick of it.

I want...

I want a head.

[Ickis]
Try this.

Ooh.

Here you are.

Bingo!

Ooh.

Ohh...

There.

Sorry.

[whimpering]

Krummy, here you are.

Oh, Krumm, just get over it.

That's easy for you to say.

You have a head.

You know the monster doctor

did an excellent job
on my uncle's

tentacle reattachment.

Perhaps he can fix you up.

Monsters today.

I don't know
why you can't be satisfied

with the way you were born.

I mean, look at him.

He's learned to live
with those ears.

The patient is ready.

Can opener.

Can opener.

Screwdriver.

Screwdriver.

Gloves.

Gloves.

Head.

[drill buzzing]

Doctor, is he--

How-- how is... he?

Yes, how is he?

Is he... ooh?

Can we see it?

Congratulations,
it's a head.

[Gromble]
Dreadful morning, class.

Today, we will explore some of
the unique human fears.

Long visits from relatives,

unwanted gifts,

being called
into the boss' office.

[class gasping]

Heya...

You don't have to say it.

Ouch!Sorry.

Can't see behind me.

Well, Krumm...

what a hideous
new look for you.

Thank you,
it's a head.

No, thank you for clearing
that up for me.

Now, do you
and your head

mind if I continue
with class?

No, no, no, go right ahead.

[laughing]

To continue...

these unique human fears can be
utilized in a number of ways.

Yes, Krumm?

Just testing out the old
armaroonies.

Well, why don't you test them

when you actually
have an answer?

[clearing throat]

These unique human fears can
be exploited in a number of wa--

Yes, Krumm?

The answer is four.

Good answer, Krumm,

but I wasn't
asking a question!

Now, these human fears

can be utilized
by a wise monster--

Yes, Krumm!

The answer
is Zorbloc the All-Knowing.

No!

I think Krumm's head
is going to his head.

No, no, no, this is just
a phase he is going through.

He shall be fine.

[happily humming]

Nope.

Um, not me.

Perfect.

And it brings out my eyes.

[sighing]

[monsters]
Ooh...

[screaming]

Attaboy, Krumm!

[laughing]

This dam isn't gonna hold
much longer.

You ready,
Oblina?

As always.

Krumm? Krumm?

[groaning]

Krumm, get out
of there!

I'm stuck!

Help me!

Look out, the dam's bursting!

[screaming]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, ohh...

[screaming]

Hey, come on, honey,
come on, I gotta go.

Time for Plan B.

What's Plan B?

Whoo, ah, that's it,
I'm coming in!

One, two-- whoa!

Thank you for ruining
our scare, Krumm.

Boy, am I sorry.

Good, you should be.

Sorry I took the sewer.

Look what it's done
to my hair.

[groaning]

You and that head!

Ever since you got it, it has
been nothing but trouble!

Yes, and now it is
ruining our scares,

not to mention the
danger it put us in.

Why do you not
go back to the doctor

and have the head removed?

No way!

You two are just
jealous of my head.

If I hear the word "head" one
more time, I'm gonna scream!

Hey, Ickis, you couldn't
grab my shoulders

before I got... a head.

[screaming]

Krummy,
when you and your head

are ready to scare,
let us know.

In the meantime, Ickis?

Hmmpf.

[snoring]

You take that screw,
I'll take this one.

All right, let us hurry.

[sobbing]
Ow, I broke a claw!

Wait, I have an idea.

[grunting and groaning]

Wow.

I just dreamed
I was a rubber band.

Hey, what are you
guys doing here?

Um, you were...

Um, you were
snoring, dear.

Yes, that's it.

Well, good night.

[snoring]

It's not the same going
on scares without Krumm.

Hmm, 'tis a sad day.Tragic.

[Oblina]
Ooh!

Ooh, aluminum cans! Yum.

[gulping]Mmm...

Um, Oblina?

[screaming]

[both]
Help!

[screaming continues]

Help!Help!

Krumm, Krumm, behind you!

Look out!Krummy, look out!

[gasping]

Oh, no, my head!

My ugly head!

I never thought I would
go this way.

Yeah... flat.

[both]
Help us! Help!

[screaming]

[screaming continues]

Ahh![screaming]

Ahh...

[controls beeping]

[sighing]ahh, ohh...

[screaming]

This just isn't my day.

Ickis, I think it stopped.

[Krumm]
You guys okay?

Krumm!Krummy!

Oh, am I glad to see you.

Sorry I couldn't
be here sooner,

but I kind of lost my head.

Take it from me, Krummy, you are
a better monster without it.

Yeah, you guys
were no good together anyway.

No, you're right.

Besides, a head
is too much trouble.

Still, sometimes I wonder what
happened to the old noggin.

Purdy hood ornament, Fred.

What'd it cost ya?

Nuthin'.

Found it at
the junkyard.

[loud chatter]

Yuck.

Those give me the willies.

[cheerful music playing]

[chainsaw buzzing]

Wait a minute,
Mr. Lumberjack.

Don't hurt this tree.

It's your friend.

Ickis!

Look at this,
isn't it creepy?

[laughing]

And that bear
is so... cute.

Which is precisely why
it is against the rules

to watch movies like this.

Yeah, buddy, this cute stuff

is gonna give you
pleasant dreams.

Will you stop being
such babies?

This stuff
is not going to scare me.

Look at it.

I'd rather not.Shh!

Don't say I didn't
warn you.

Those guys
are such scaredy-monsters.

Ahh...

[gasping in horror]

[child giggling]

I love you,
Cuddles Bear.

And I love you, Tiffany.

And I love all of you.

Come on, everyone.

Let's hug!

Ew.

[screaming]

[screaming continues]

[hyperventilating]

Ay, caramba.

Oh, it was hideous.

I've never seen
such cuteness.

It made my flesh crawl.

And Ickis stayed and watched
the whole thing?

[Zimbo]Ha, peh.
Not a chance.

That little pipsqueak Ickis

wouldn't last
for five minutes.

[Ickis]
Wanna bet?

[all]
Ickis!

You sat through
the whole movie?

Weren't you scared?

Scared?
[chuckling]

That cutesy stuff
may scare some monsters,

but not me.

Ah, perhaps a movie
doesn't scare Ickis,

but I think Ickis

would tell
a different story

if Cuddles Bear
was real, eh?

Ha, that bear could
walk up to me right now

and do you know what I would
say to that bear?

I would say,
"Listen, Mr. Cutesy Boots.

Go sell your sugar
somewhere else."

[laughing]

Then I'd throw him out
of the dump [laughing].

Ooh.

[Ickis]
Oh, yeah, yeah,
there were moments there

when I didn't think
I'd be able to sit there

and take it and then,
I thought to myself,

"Come on...

you are Ickis."

[laughing]

[muttering]

[gasping]

Oh.

Ohh... hmm.

Hey, gimme that!

That's my Snooky!

Oh, Ickis.

You are scared.

Well, listen, what you saw was
a made-up movie, all right?

And you are a real monster.

Just repeat that
over and over, okay?

Hmm... okay.

Good night, Ickis,
good night, Krummy.

Goodnight, Oblina.

It's a movie
and I am a monster.

Good night.

It's a movie...

and I am a monster.

It's a movie and I...

[yawning]

So how'd you sleep, buddy?

Great!

Nothing but nightmares.

[Oblina]
Oh, good.

Then let's go scare
somebody, come on!

Early monster
catches the worm.

Great, I like worms.

[Cuddles]
Ickis, Ickis, come here.

[Ickis whimpering]

Huh... hello?

Um, who is it?

Hello?

Good-bye, whoever you are.

I got things to do.

[stammering]

Cu-Cuddles the Bear!

[screaming]

I love you.

[screaming]

Is that Ickis?

[hysterical screaming]

Yeah, it's Ickis.

Ickis, what,
what is it?

[wheezing]

Cuddles... the Bear!

He's here!

Ickis, honestly.

You did not see Cuddles
the Bear.

You just think you did

because you sat through that
sweet, cutesy movie, didn't you?

Maybe you should go home
and take a rest.

We'll catch up
with you later.

Home... alone?

Yes, Krumm is right.

Go home and rest.

I'm sure with a little rest,
you will be fine.

You think so?

[Krumm]
Good as garbage.

[Oblina]
And ready to scare.

[hysterical wheezing]

Ahh... fine.

[seagulls squawking]

He's losing it.

Oh, yeah.

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

[Cuddles]
It is Oblina, Ickis.

I cannot get in.

The door won't open.

[sighing]

[screaming]

[Cuddles]
Ickis, Ickis...

I love you, I love you.

[hysterical muttering]

I love you, I love you,
I love you...

[hysterical wheezing]

[hyperventilating]

Ickis, it's Oblina!

I can't get in,
the door won't open!

Leave me alone,
you fuzzy-eared freak!

Ickis? You all right?

I do believe in bears,

I do believe in bears,
I do believe in bears.

Now, Ickis, think hard.

Isn't it possible,
just possible,

that after seeing that movie,

this bear you see

is maybe, just maybe,

a figment
of your imagination?

No, no, Cuddles is real.

He's real and he's cute
and he's gonna get me.

And then he's gonna come
after you, you'll see.

So you think
a real bear

is loose in the dump?

No, not like a real bear,
like a bear bear.

He's Cuddles the Bear,

like a teddy bear,
but is alive.

Yes, of course, he is.

Ickis,
if you say Cuddles is real,

then yeah, he's real.

Wait, wait, wait,
ohh... [laughing].

You think I'm crazy.

[all]
No.

Of course not, Ickis.

We just think... [chuckling]

Could you just wait
in the hall for a moment?

Well...

Well, I'm not crazy!

Bonkers.

Nuts.
Completely off his stick.

Sorry.

I'm going to recommend that
we send Ickis to a quiet place

we've set aside for monsters
with... special problems.

Um, uh, you know what?

Ickis?

[gasping]

[wheezing gasp]

I mean,
it's really not that bad.

Maybe you're right.

[screaming]

He's out there!

He can handle it.

Now, Ickis, the only way

you are going to put this
silly thing behind you

is by moving on.

We are going to
a toy store to scare.

[screaming]

From now on,
it is back to the old

fun-loving irrepressible
Icky, right?

Right?

Ickis?

Hello, I love you, Ickis.

[screaming]

Don't you want a hug?

[hysterical wheezing]

Kissy, kissy, kissy.

I'm going to smother
you in kisses.

Kisses and hugs.

Oh, ay, criminy,

it's hot in there.

Ickis, Ickis...

Oh, why that little

fluttering,
one-legged, ooh!

I am gonna...

[mischievous giggling]

Oh, help me!

Oh, somebody please help me!

[laughing]

Ahh...

[crashing]

[muttering]
Ay, caramba...

Ahh, Ahh!

I'm coming
to get you, Ickis,

if you would just...

slow down.

[snarling]

[growling]
Nope, he's not in there.

[Zimbo]Help me![gasping]

Oh, somebody, please.

[crashing]

Please, please, help me!

He's crazy!

No, I'm not.

Okay, fabulous, heh!

Well, that was
a splendid joke,

don't you think?

[snarling]

[cheerful Cuddles music playing]

Oh, finally, please
enough of that

cutesy shmutesy music.

Snorch, my friend,
Zimbo is sorry.

Zimbo can take
no more of the music.

Please, Snorch, have a heart.

Play it again, Snorch.
