Prepare to count down.

[Laughing and yelling]

Sam: man, halloween rocks--

Costumes, haunted houses...

Otto: this is going to rule.

Finally we get to go trick-or-treating on our own.

No more dried fruit from old lady hornbuckle.

Yeah, no more goofy family theme costumes.

We're going to finally do halloween our way!

All: we, we, we, we!

[Evil laughter]

Denizens of the light... I greet you.

Man, he creeps me out.

[Cackling]

Are you guys psyched for the big night?

Treat-or-treating?

Yeah...

Mad doses of processed sugar?

Yeah...

That's kid stuff!

I'm talking about therealbig night--

Mischief night.

"Mischief night"?

It's the night before halloween, sam.

It's where serious creeps go out

And mess up other people's stuff.

Silence, misbegotten one!

Mischief night rules!

You toilet-paper houses

Or whomp them with eggs and soap.

My brotherlives for mischief night.

I heard a rumor that there's a curfew this year.

You'll get into trouble if you get caught.

Oh, come on, reg, think about it.

No way, rocket boy.

This is the first time I'm allowed out

Alone on halloween

And I'm not going to blow it by being stupid.

Eddie, I'm in.

Oh!

I'll bring the eggs.

What about you, squidman?

You know, I don't know about this, you guys.

Are you really going along with these two, sam?

Sam: well... Yeah...

I guess so.

You go, squidman.

Rock on with your bad self.

We're going to rule the night.

Just as long as a certain somebody

Doesn't tell dad what we're up to.

I don't want you to get caught

So do your planning somewhere else and leave me out of it.

I'm just trying to break out

Of a pattern of chronic over-cautiousness.

Well, you're doing a great job.

Thanks.

[Cackling]

Dad, can you eat the whole candy corn

And not just the yellow part?

It's tradition.

Just like the traditional rocket family scary movie-thon.

Where's rocket boy?

Hey, guys, gotta go.

Otto...

We have nine halloween flicks to watch.

Where ya goin'?

Um... Over to twister's

To work on our costumes.

You know, there's a curfew tonight.

I'll be careful, are you kidding?

Yeah, don't get caught.

Uh, yeah, later.

Oh!

What'll it be:

Vampire zombies: the hungry undead

Orthe walking hunger of the formerly living?

Is there any difference between them?

[Laughing]

Oh, well, I'll show them.

What are you doing with my cooking spray?!

Uh...

Protecting our home from brutal albumen.

But now my pumpkin cookies will stick.

[Screams]

Otto, it's me.

Man, it's spooky out tonight, huh?

No... No, this rocks.

What's old man stimpleton doing?

He's whomp-proofing his house.

Great, so why don't we just go home?

[Yipes]

Keep it down, you guys.

Sorry, but this is getting creepy.

[Laughing evilly]

[Yelling]

Good morrow, fellow travelers.

Are you ready to walk by night?

Maybe.

My mom wouldn't let me have any toilet paper.

I'm all over it, bro.

Behold, cottony soft.

Our first castle to siege.

Forward, o knights of darkness.

We're not wearing black like eddie.

Someone could see us.

[Howling]

[Screaming]

That party stunk!

That was just ketchup on the wall.

And another thing--

I'm not wearing this stinking costume tomorrow.

I want to be a mutant!

Hmm.

Hey, you guys, wait up!

[Shuddering]

This is the house.

Prepare your two-ply, my army of mischief.

I wouldn't call us an army exactly.

We're more like a squad.

Let's keep going.

Oh, we might run out of toilet paper.

Yeah, let's raid another house.

Why, why, why?

Every year we cream this house!

I have a good reason:

This is my house.

Oh, did I say "we"?

I mean "they."

[Door hinge creaking]

Eddie, maybe we should bag this whole thing.

This is pretty creepy.

Come on, you squids

There's nothing to be afraid of.

[Beeping]

[Electronic laughter]

[All screaming]

Every man for himself!

They do nice work.

Ray: brains...

Brains...

Brains!

Reggie:dad?

[Yells]

Need more soda?

I'll get it.

Stop the tape-- I don't want to miss

Any zombie action.

[Sighs]

Announcer: citizens of ocean shores

Anyone caught outside on mischief night

Will spend the rest of the night inside a cell

In the pokey, the hoosegow, the iron-bar hotel, jail!

This is officer shirley reminding you

To have a nice evening.

Whoa...

Okay...

Roll those zombies.

Dad, I got to go to the stimpletons'--

We're out of... Garlic!

Garlic?

Yeah, we need garlic around

To... Keep the vampire zombies away.

That's my girl.

Um, and, uh... Lock the door.

Eddie: look...

Either we whomp the next house

Or I'm ditching you guys!

He's right--

We've got to whomp one house at least.

I don't know.

We've never listened to eddie before.

Why start now?

Yeah, let's get out of here.

I don't know...

We've never listened to the squid before.

Why start now?

You've got a point.

[Moaning]

Cool, this house came pre-whomped.

I guess we can go now.

[Laughing]

Man: crusher, att*ck!

[Snarling]

All: run!

[Screaming]

It must be a pit bull.

No, it's a doberman.

You're both wrong--

It's some kind of big, mean dog.

Over there!

[Panting]

Sam: we're crusher chow.

This was the worst idea ever!

[Snarling]

[Barking]

Man:crusher!

Here, girl, here, sweetie.

[Barking and snarling]

Eddie, you might think mischief night rocks

Butidon't.

I'm with twister-- let's bail.

You said it, sammy.

You guys are weasels.

I'm not scared of some little dog.

[Screams]

Now who's the weasel, weasel?

Let's get out of here before anything else comes after us.

You guys did that?

No way, we haven't done anything.

That was lars, pi and sputz.

We were just heading home.

That's a good idea

Because if officer shirley finds you...

[Siren blares]

Uh... Happy halloween?

[Yelling on tv]

[Screams]

[Door opens]

[Screams louder]

Hi, dad, how's the movie?

Gee, it's late.

Sam and twister are staying over.

Boy, are we wiped-- gonna hit the sack.

Good night, raymundo.

Pleasant dreams, sir.

Huh?

[Doorbell rings]

Hello, ray.

Hey, thanks.

But this isn't why you're here, is it?

Caught her committing a --

Willful residential vandalism involving a hacksaw

Sledgehammer or two-ply toilet tissue.

Ordinarily, I'd take her in

But I thought you might want to deal with it.

Of all the kids to go out on mischief night.

I turn my back for one second...

But, dad...

She's taking the heat for us--

Way to go, reg.

She'll get in trouble

For something she didn't do.

I think you can handle it, ray.

Thanks, shirl.

What do you have to say for yourself?

Otto: she didn't do it!

We snuck out.

She was just trying to get us to come back.

So I guess we're going to miss halloween?

Oh...

I have something worse-- much worse.

[Doorbell rings]

Well, you've done it again.

Your family theme costumes get cuter and cuter every year.

Who wants candy?

All: I do, I do!

Now, violet

This year we have a new trick-or-treating rule:

Only one piece of candy per house.

Kids: no!

[Distant howling]

[Wrench ratcheting]

[Grunting]

Uh-huh, come on, come on, come on.

Let's go, come on.

I hate to drop some major bummage

But this is not a finely tuned machine.

Then tune it.

This is the year I'm going to finally b*at my brother.

[Crashing next door]

[Gasps]

How's anyone supposed to enjoy the morning

With that insufferable commotion next door?

Here you go, merv...

Oatmeal a la king.

Oh, sweet holy fiber, do your duty.

Hmm...

[Hammering]

[Yelling]

Reggie!

Twister!

Squid!

Me?

Come on, you guys, careful

With the speed machine.

"Speed machine"? Oh, please.

When I win the trophy

My nightmare brother's going to flip.

Wake up, the nightmare's here.

[Tires squealing]

Oh, man, look at that hunk of junk.

This is the speed machine

You've been bragging about?

[Muttering]

[Groaning]

We'll see who's bragging at the finish line, lars.

If you make it to the finish line.

You might be in for quite a surprise.

Oh, you think so?

Not really.

Weknowso.

Come race time, you're going to be

A bunch of sorry losers.

Too late.

Hey, why wait until the street fair?

Let's race right now.

Yeah, why not?

All right, that's enough

You lollygaggers.

Take your cacophonous loitering somewhere else.

I would suggest another state.

Sea foam street, five minutes.

Get ready to eat my dust, you little dork.

I'm not little.

"Eat my dust"?

We'll give him a four-course meal.

[Grunting from exertion]

I have a question.

If our go-cart is a speed machine

Why are we carrying it to the street?

What?!

Now, remember

Lars has been known to race dirty

So keep your distance.

Keep your hands on the wheel.

Look both ways before crossing the street...

And above all, concentrate.

Hey, look, I can blow bubbles with my tongue.

[Groans]

[Garbled]: on your mark...

Get set... Go.

[Tires screech]

No, no, no!

[Screaming]

[Crashing]

Merv: for the love of mike...!

That wasn't who I thought it was, was it?

Sounded like mr. Stimpleton.

What?!

Let me handle this, okay?

Phew!

[Moaning]

Sorry, mr. Stimpleton.

Look what you've done!

Violet's prized african violets.

We're sorry, mr. Stimpleton.

We promise, we'll do our go-carting

Further down the hill next time.

We're going to make everything

As good as new.

See?

Ooh.

And no one was hurt, sir.

You have to agree

That that's what is most important here.

No one was hurtyet.

I bet mrs. Stimpleton won't even notice.

Violet: hello, there, kids.

Merv, are you harassing these poor little...

[Gasps]

[Bell tolls funereally]

[Gasps]

Oh, my dear...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Oh, my violet has gone to the great greenhouse in the sky!

Violet, are you all right, dear?

[Whimpering]

Will you excuse me, please?

I must re-alphabetize the spice rack.

Honey... Violet... Pookie-wookie face?

That was easier than I thought.

Now, where's that wheel?

Hello?

Didn't you see mrs. Stimpleton?

What? Did she get a haircut?

Mrs. Stimpleton's normally bopping around the yard by now.

I'm worried.

Mrs. Stimpleton's fine.

Merv: good morning, vi...

...olet.

Violet [angrily]: don't say that word!

Merv: but, pookie, that's your name.

Violet [absently]: if you say so.

Oh, yeah, totally fine.

Come on, otto.

Good morning, mrs. Stimpleton.

It is?

Now, violet, why don't you go

Work on your herb garden?

What's the point, merv?

Soon another wheel will wipe out my cilantro.

Is she okay, mr. Stimpleton?

What's the big deal?

It was only a flower.

Only a flower!

Otto, reggie, follow me.

There's something you should know about my snookums.

Violet is a simple woman

Who has but one joy in life.

Whoa!

Cool.

You see...

It's not about a little flower.

It's about my lady's legacy.

[Violet gasps]

Every year for years

My african violets have taken first place

At the ocean fest.

Now there's no entry, and a spot on the rack will be empty.

The cilantro, dear.

Of course.

Must tend to the cilantro.

We feel awful, mr. Stimpleton.

Well, you should!

Man, years in a row

And we ruined it.

There's got to be something we can do.

Another trophy...

The downhill go-cart race!

My violet is in no condition

To enter a no-holds-barred downhill donnybrook.

No, but we are, and if we win

There'll be a trophy for that spot this year.

For the love of violet, we've got to win.

Earth to reggie, the go-cart's toast.

Hang on, I can help.

If it's got wheels on it, by gum

This man can make it go.

I flushed the radiator.

That's not the go-cart; that's my car.

Now, check the filters.

I'm all done with the sanding, sir.

Not bad, rocket.

Reggie?

Ready for inspection, sir.

Nicely balanced.

And I rotated the tires.

I like that initiative.

I'd say you hooligans did a bang-up job, by cracky.

All: all right!

It'll take more than just a car

To win that race.

I'll give it everything I got.

Now there's just one thing left to do.

Violet: I don't want to be

Here at ocean fest.

It's too painful to know

I won't be going home with a trophy.

Just hold it together.

I think you're going to like this.

Yeah, we have a surprise.

What is this?

Since you can't win a violet trophy this year

We're going to try to win you another trophy.

Oh, for the love of me.

She's sure a beauty.

Now, you come here, you scrumptious little...

Racers to your go-carts.

Be careful, little maurice.

Yeah, little maurice.

You better be careful not to win

Or there's going to be

A whomping in your future.

There's always a whomping in my future.

Why don't you just try

To win this thing fair and square for once?

Um, let me think about it.

Mmm... No!

Ooh...

Nice flowers.

Racers...

On your marks... Get set...

Go!

[Lars laughing meanly]

[Metal grating]

Hey, what are you doing?

You're not supposed to win!

And you're not supposed to be a dork.

Sometimes life ain't fair.

Man, I can't believe I lost to a flower car.

Awesome on the turns.

You've got a new track record.

Master rodriguez

You... You... Rock my world.

The winner of the crazy cart race

For this year is...

Team violet!

[Wild cheering]

For me?

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Give me that!

I hope this makes up for what we did.

Reggie... I think this might be my favorite trophy of all time.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Ray: okay, roll those zombies!
