[Buzzing]

[Gasping]

[Screaming]

Go away, get out of here!

MARTY: It's those stupid

magazines, Julia.

What?

What does the magazine have to

do with it?

All those perfume samples

inside.

Bees love perfume.

Oh.

I was done with it anyway.

Thanks, Marty.

Ugh, bugs give me the creeps.

I don't know why you waste

good money on those things.

All the girls inside are always

so made up, so fake, so...

Attractive?

Oh, I'd give anything to look

like that.

A natural beauty.

Oh, they're natural beauties,

all right.

After about five hours in makeup

and three hours getting the

lighting just right.

Trust me, Julia, you look great

just the way you are.

And I'm not just saying that

because I'm broke and I want you

to pay my way into the movies

tomorrow night.

Well, for saving me from the

bees it's the least I could do.

As long as we can stop and

pick up the latest glam mags on

the way.

Julia...

Hey, a girl can dream, can't

she?

CRYPT KEEPER: Julia should be

careful what she wishes for.

Take it from yours "ghoul-y."

If Julia does become one of the

"boo-tiful" people, she's going

to find that being attractive

isn't all that it's cracked up

to be.

[Shrill laughing]



Now she's lucky.

Who, Brooke Adams?

JULIA: Who else?

Just look at her.

She's pretty, she's popular.

She's got everything.

Everything except a

personality.

She's so full of herself.

Oh, smooth one, Julia.

I'm sure Brooke was very

impressed.

Why don't you ask her?

Here she comes.

Oh, my gosh, she's coming

over.

How do I look?

What should I say?

Should I say hello?

BROOKE: Uh, excuse me?

Oh, hi, Brooke.

How are you?

It's nice to finally get a

chance to talk.

So... what up?

I'd like to get a drink.

Duh.

Oh, the fountain.

Sorry.

I thought you wanted to, uh...

Never mind.

[Laughing]

As if you'd ever want to talk

to her.

I mean, really.

Did you see how she looked?

Whoa, there goes one stuck-up

snob.

Stick with the friends you got,

Julia.

Unlike some people, we like you

for who you are, not how you

look.

Excuse me?

Hey, I didn't mean it that

way.

I, um...

You know what I meant.

I think you look good.

Good enough for who, you?

I hate to break this to you,

Marty, but I'm not interested in

impressing you or our lame,

unpopular friends.

Unlike some people, I happen to

care about how I look.

Oh, I am such a jerk sometimes.

I hate the way I look and I took

it out on my best friend.

Maybe I wouldn't be so miserable

all the time if I looked like

that.

If I looked that good, I'd be

better-looking than Brooke.

I'd be the prettiest girl in

school.

Wouldn't that be something?

I'm gonna give this beauty cream

a try.

I don't care what anybody says.

I just wish they hadn't closed

the corner drug store.

And the mall is such a hike.

[Crypt Keeper laughing shrilly]

Hey, it's back.

Somebody must have reopened it.

[Ringing]



Can I help you, young lady?

Yes, I'm interested in some

beauty products.

[Gasping]

Is there a problem?

No, uh, I, um, just wasn't

expecting someone selling beauty

products to look so, uh...

Well-aged?

Yes, uh, something like that.

I saw this ad and was wondering

if this lotion is any good.

If you ask me, all this gunk

is useless.

But if you really want results,

I suggest you give this a try.

Guaranteed to make you

irresistible over night.

Over night, huh?

All right, I'll take it.

How much do I owe you?

For you, no charge.

Consider it a free sample.

Oh, okay, well, thank you.

Don't thank me, Julia.

You will have to pay for your

choice, one way or another.

[Laughing shrilly]

JULIA: I don't know, Julia.

Something about this doesn't

seem right.

Maybe I don't need this stuff.

Maybe Marty's right.

Did you see the way she

looked?

No, I'm gonna do this.

I wanna be prettier, more

attractive.

And this cream is gonna help me.

Out with the old Julia and in

with the new.

I can't wait to see what happens

in the morning.

[Snoring]

[Music blaring]

[Music stopping]

Julia?

Time to get up.

Don't make me call you 10 times.



It worked.

It really worked!

I'm... beautiful.

Yahoo!

Just wait till the kids at

school see this.

Goodbye, Mom, Dad.

Gotta go.

Hold it right there, young

lady.

Are you wearing makeup?

Because you know how we feel

about that.

Mom, I'm not wearing makeup.

It's just a little beauty cream,

that's all.

Bye.

Have a good day.

And don't forget, we're going

out tonight.

You know, I sometimes forget

just how attractive our little

girl is becoming.

Uh-huh.

The kids at school aren't

gonna believe this.

I can't believe it.

I'm like a new person.

[Wind rustling]



No, thanks, I'm walking.

[Car horn honking]

[Yelling]

Man, people are really noticing

me.

It's like a dream come true.

Wait until you hear what

we're doing for the

Communications assignment.

Hey, look, who's that?

Hi, Julia.

Hi.

Morning, Julia.

Good morning.

Hi.

Julia, hi.

Hi.

[Gasping]

Julia, is that you?

Oh, hi, Brooke.

I mean, of course it's you.

It's just, wow.

You look great.

Are you doing something

different with your hair?

Did you get a makeover or

something?

No, I don't really use

makeup.

I don't really need it.

All I use is this.

Ooh, what kind is it?

Where can I get some?

You can't.

It's a special kind.

Wait, Julia.

Um...

I'm having a party tonight and

I'd really, really like you to

come.

Really?

Really.

MARTY: Julia?

Hey, Julia, hold up.

Whoa, oof!

Where were you?

I waited to walk to school with

you but you didn't show.

Yeah, well, what do you want,

Marty?

Yeah, Marty, what is it?

Well, I was just wondering if

we were still on for the movie

tonight?

We could meet before or just

hook up there.

BROCK: Get lost, Marty.

Julia is busy tonight.

Too busy to hang with a loser

like you.

Sorry, I'm gonna have to

pass.

Maybe some other time, okay?



[Fish tapping glass]



[Bell ringing]

[Kids murmuring]

[Talking stopping]

[Barking and meowing]

Go on, get away.

Leave me alone.

[Buzzing]

Shoo, go home.

What is with everybody today?

[Sighing]

What a day.

I never thought I'd be so happy

to get home.

Boy, do I ever look tired.

Time for a little rejuvenation.

MOM: Julia, we're going now.

My cell number's on the fridge.

Uh, okay, have a good time.

What's this?

Aren't you going out?

What about Brooke's party?

I-I decided to stay home

so I called and cancelled.

Oh, what's wrong, honey?

Did you have a bad day?

No, not really.

It was fine.

I just don't feel like myself,

I guess.

Well, make sure you get some

rest.

We won't be late.

[Gasping]

Oh, well, no sense in wasting

it.



Gee, it sure got dark fast.

That's fine with me.

I can catch up on my beauty

sleep.

[Snoring]

[Buzzing]

[Dog barking]

[Cat meowing]

What is that?

Those stupid dogs again?

[Gasping]

[Whimpering]

[Screaming]

Mom, Dad!

There's bugs everywhere.

Oh, no, they're still out.

[Screaming]

[Panting]

[Gasping]

[Screaming]

[Whimpering]

[Panting]

[Screaming]

[Panting]

What's going on?

Why is this happening?

Why is everything so attracted

to me?

The cream, it's supposed to make

me irresistible.

That's what he said, it's the

cream.

Oh, it won't come off.

I've gotta get this off!

[Screaming]

[Panting]

Water.

There's water.

Come on, come on!



Come on, come on!

Yes!

Oh, good, it's over.

Thank you.

[Panting]

[Gasping]

[Squirrel chittering]

[Owl hooting]

[Wolf howling]

Oh, my.

Oh, no.

[Rumbling]

[Screaming]

No, stop!

This can't be happening!

[Screaming]

[Yelling]

[Grunting]

[Growling]

[Screaming]

[Yelling]

[All moaning]

[Screaming]

No, go away.

No.

[Screaming]

MOM: Julia, it's okay.

It's okay.

Mom, Dad?

Yes, it's us.

You had a rough night.

When we got home, your bed

was empty.

We got so worried we called

Marty, hoping you were there.

When you weren't, we went

looking for you.

We found you outside.

You must have been

sleepwalking or something.

It was pretty cool.

The cream, it must have

finally worn off.

Oh, good.

That's another thing.

I really wish you wouldn't use

this stuff.

I keep telling her, but she

doesn't listen.

But I will listen, believe

me.

You guys are so right.

Good, so no more beauty

products or makeup?

Or stupid magazines?

No more anything, cross my

heart and hope to...

Let's just say I've learned my

lesson.

I'm really sorry for the way

I treated you, Marty.

Aw, forget it.

Everyone can have an off day.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna make

sure that never happens again.

Um, one more thing.

Yesterday when everyone was

seeing me differently, you

treated me just the same.

How come?

That's easy.

I always see you that way.

Well, we better hustle.

The movie's about to start.

It's not a horror flick, is

it?

BROOKE: Oh, my gosh, Brock,

look.

It's that cream Julia uses.

Quick, pick it out of there for

me.

You don't need it, Brooke.

You're the prettiest girl in

school.

Well, duh!

I know that.

But you can never be too

attractive.

Brooke's about to become so

attractive that you'll have to

beat them back with a stick.

[Shrill laughing]

Well, that's our "dread-time"

story for today.

Until next time, crypt kiddies,

"creep" out of trouble because

I'll be watching.

[Shrill laughing]

Ugh, hey, who did that?

I didn't ask for a facial.

Someone get this off me.

Makeup!
