[Vampirina]
"Weekly Normalness."

Hello, and welcome
to the latest episode

of Weekly Weirdness.

I'm Edgar Peepleson
with an exclusive scoop:

I've finally solved the mystery
of the haunted house next door.

Could it be a ghost
living in the attic?

Or a mummy in the basement?

Nah, turns out it isn't
haunted at all.

Nothing to see here.

Yep, 100% certified normal.

No ghosts for miles.

Demi, you can't be the one
saying our house isn't haunted.

You're haunting it.

Hm. You're right.

It is a bit of
a catch-twenty-boo, isn't it?

Okay, let's try it again.
Places, people.

I think that's a wrap on
Weekly Weirdness, right, Edgar?

Yeah, I guess I can edit out
the ghost.

Ah, I can't believe
I'm saying that,

just when my dream
of being friends with monsters

is finally coming true.

Thanks for keeping our secret,
Edgar.

Things would get pretty
batty around here

if everyone knew
we were monsters.

As long as I get to see all
the monstery things, I'm good.

But it is kind of a bummer
I can't post any of the cool,

weird stuff that goes on
in your house on my web show.

Wait a scream,
I know a place

where you can share
monster videos.

[Edgar]
The Worldwide what?

The Worldwide Cobweb.

It's the internet
for monsters.

Monster internet?

Whoa, this whole "my neighbor's
a vampire" thing

-just gets better and better!
-[laughs]

There are all kinds of websites
for monsters.

The Deliver-eek
shopping site.

[Demi]
Mystery blob-casts.

[Gregoria] Even sites
that sell used magic carpets.

[whistles]

Just make sure you don't buy one
that's running low on magic.

Ooh! Like I did.

So I could do my web show
for actual monsters?

-Yep.
-I think you just made his day.

You made my life!

If I can make my web show
really popular,

I can make monster friends
from all around the world.

I got to go.

-[door opens and closes]
-[both giggle]

Worldwide Cobweb,
get ready for Edgar Peepleson.

Welcome to the first episode

of Weekly Weirdness
for Monsters.

This week, I'll be taking you
into the weird lives

of my neighbors,
who are actually vampires.

I'll show you the weird way
they sleep.

[Vampirina, gasping]
Papa.

You're right-side up.

-Huh?
-When did you do that?

[Edgar]
Upside down. Weird, right?

[all]
Oh.

Not really that weird
for a vampire

-to sleep upside down.
-[door opens and closes]

-Vee! Vee!
-What's wrong?

It's my new Weekly Weirdness
episode.

I don't think anybody on
the Worldwide Cobweb likes it.

What's the big idea?

It's the weirdest episode
I've ever done.

Well, it's just
that monsters...

Wait.

I know what you're going to say.

I just need
to up the weirdness,

and my videos will be a hit
with the monsters.

Thanks, Vee.

Shouldn't somebody tell him
that what's weird to humans

is pretty normal to monsters?

But Weekly Weirdness
is what Edgar does best.

I don't want him to have
to change his whole style.

Maybe we'd better go see exactly
what he has in mind.

My brother tends to go really
overboard with the weird factor.

Hmm.

What's your next episode, Edgar?

Still searching
for weird-spiration.

Maybe we can help?

You know, make it something
that monsters will really love.

-Sure.
-[barking]

I know just what
I'm going to do.

The next episode is
"The Secret Life of Wolfie."

Upping the weirdness
isn't going to work, is it?

Probably not for the monsters
watching.

But maybe we should just
let Edgar be Edgar.

And how much weirder can my
brother's videos really get?

[Edgar]
We watch the elusive werewolf

as it gnaws on its lunch.

Is it a dinosaur bone?

A cursed chew toy
from a secret crypt?

Oh, it's a just
a werewolf treat.

Scream-nut butter flavored.

[barks]

Even weirder.

In this episode
of Weekly Weirdness,

-"Demi's Weird Wake-Up Routine."
-Let's see.

I've got my wisp gel
to keep my head nice and wispy.

Oh, a little more, maybe.

Moss-flavored toothpaste for
my pearly, see-through whites.

[giggles]

And finally,
a good gargle.

[gargles and coughs]

[spits]

There. Monsterly,
minty and fresh.

-[Edgar] Ew.
-[Poppy] That's really strong.

In this episode

of Weekly Weirdness,

we're in the kitchen cooking
with a skeleton chef.

Bonjour, and good day.

I will be showing you how
to make spooky scrambled eggs.

Um, Chef Remy, I think you got
the wrong eggs.

-These are--
-[screams]

Dragon eggs! Run!

Watch out, Chef Remy!

Ah! Sacre-boo!
My bones.

[Edgar]
Cut!

This is weirdness gold.

Let's see what
the Worldwide Cobweb

has to say now.

[blows raspberry]

Meh.

[sighs]

You've got to be kidding me.

These videos are even less
popular than my first one.

-What am I doing wrong?
-You're posting stuff

that monsters are already
familiar with.

I mean, who doesn't
brush their teeth with moss?

Vee, is that true?

Well, yeah.

What's exciting and weird
to humans

is pretty common
for monsters.

Ugh, my career in monster
web shows is over

before it's even started

Hmm. Maybe making a show
about monsters for monsters

is the problem.

You should do a show
about human life.

Human life?

I bet monsters would be
really interested

in what it's like for a human
kid in Pennsylvania.

So like a Weekly Normalness
webshow

instead of a Weekly Weirdness?

Hmm, I guess I could
give it a try.

And we'll help.

I think it'll be the right kind
of weird for monsters.

I'm all ready
to start filming.

Huh?

Where's Edgar?

He's getting
his costume ready.

-Costume?
-[door opens and closes]

Welcome to
Edgar Peepleson's Life.

-Ooh!
-Um, Edgar?

You don't normally
wear that.

And it's definitely
more monstery than humany.

Hey, how's it going--?

Aah! Run!

It's a...

Oh, it's just an Edgar.

Yep. Just Edgar.

I'm worried that my life
isn't interesting enough

-for a web show.
-That's not true.

You're one of the most
terror-rific humans I know.

Just be you. Trust me.

Monsters of
the Worldwide Cobweb,

this is Weekly Normalness.

Get ready for a day in the life
of Edgar Peepleson.

Hey, ghosts and ghouls.

It's Edgar eating something
pretty unusual.

Let's see what it is.

Edgar, what do you
got there?

This? It's just
frozen yogurt.

Humans really like
eating it.

Psst, Vee, are you
really sure

we even want
to be filming my fro-yo?

Sure we do.

What kind of toppings
are those?

Oh, I like gummy bears,
peanut butter cups,

and chocolate sprinkles
together.

I call it the Edgarnator.

The trick is putting
the whipped cream at the bottom.

Which you've got all over
your face, mister.

Hey! Mom!

Hold still.
You've got chocolate everywhere.

-Cut! Cut!
-[laughs]

Right now we're cat-sitting
for my friend Bridget.

This is Miss Cuddle Cakes.

Why doesn't she have any hair?

I don't know.

But I've always wanted to know
what she's thinking.

[imitating robotics whirring]

I'm reading your mind.

[meows]

Oh, man. I got nothing.

That was great, Edgar.
Let's keep going.

[sighs]

Okay.

See, since this sock
has polka dots,

I like to put it with this sock,
which has lightning bolts.

That way,
they're not matching,

which looks a lot cooler
and pretty weird and...

Ugh! Wait, cut!

What's wrong?
That was great.

It wasn't great.
It was so boring.

Nothing you guys have filmed me
doing today

would be interesting
to anyone.

All my life I've wanted
to be friends with monsters.

But now I can see
I'll never be interesting enough

for them to like me.

Thanks for trying.

What do we do now?

I'm not giving up.

The monster world
needs to see

how spookily special
Edgar and his show are.

We've been filming your brother
all day.

I'm sure we could scream up
something great.

[Edgar]
I don't know why you brought me
over here, Vee.

I should be up in my boring old
room by my boring old self.

We've got a scary-good surprise
for you.

And it's right...

here.

[giggling]

[Edgar]
Huh?

Demi and Gregoria helped us post
the video of you from yesterday,

and it was a hit.

Look at all
the video comments.

OMV. Human life looks
terror-riffic.

I want to try the Edgarnator.

That hairless cat doesn't talk
or have any wings.

I liked the shiny hat
you gave it.

Ha-ha! He only put socks
on two feet.

That's hilarious.

[laughs]

They like me?
They really like me?

-Yep.
-Of course they do.

It's not just monsters
that are exciting and unique.

What might seem normal to you

is new and different
for someone else.

Don't you remember
how cool you thought Vee was

when she first moved in
next door?

Yeah. You're right.

We just had to show
the monster world

what's different
about you.

Thanks, Vee.

Does this mean you'll do more
shows for the Worldwide Cobweb?

Only on one condition.

If you'll host
the show with me.

I'm only at my best and weirdest
when seen through your eyes.

By comparing monster
and human life,

you two could come up
with a pretty amazing show

that all monsters will love.

I think it's a scare-rific idea.

And if you happen
to need a third ghostly host,

I'm available.

-[laughs] Let's do it.
-[Edgar] Yeah!

First order of business:

We should change the name
of our show

back to Weekly Weirdness,

because what's normal to you
is weird to monsters.

Right, and the second
order of business?

Answer your fan mail.

This is all for me?

-[Vampirina laughs]
-Whoa.

This is so weird.

And I love it!

Me too.

[all laugh]

[Vampirina]
"Vampire's Luck."

[waltz music plays]

Whoa! Whoa!

[needle scratches]

That was supposed
to be a human pirouette,

but I put my own spin on it.

-[laughs]
-Again.

Dancing like a human
isn't easy.

But if any bat can do it,
it's you.

[laughs]
Thanks, Nan.

I'm so glad you're here
to see my show at school.

I wouldn't miss it,
screamkins.

You're going to be perfect.

I hope so.

I'm feeling a little batty
about it.

But this isn't
your first ballet.

You were pretty magical at your
last performance, remember?

That's the problem.

I can't exactly dance
with my own...

[grunts]

...bat-tastic style again,
if you know what I mean.

-Oh, I do.
-Oh, yeah.

I don't. What'd I miss?

I can't use any of my vampire
powers in the show.

That means I can't turn
into a bat.

Or zoom.

Or float.

Oh, no.

I'm floating, aren't I?

You'll get the hang of dancing
the human way, screamheart.

Oh, yeah. It can't be that hard
not to float.

Observe. See?
Not floating.

Just sitting here
like an adorable ghost who's...

floating!

Never mind. It is hard.

Oh, I've never been this nervous
for a show before.

Well, there is something
that can help with your nerves.

Whoa. Huh?

[gasps]
Aww.

-Meow.
-Oh. There you are.

[meows]

I thought Vampirina
could use your help.

-Aw!
-This is Trixie.

She's so cute.

But, uh, Nan?

How is a new pet going to help
me with my performance?

Oh, screamkins,

Trixie isn't a pet.

She's a Transylvanian
ghoul-luck charm.

Ghoul-luck charms possess magic

that bring great success
to monsters.

Whenever Trixie's with you,
good things will happen.

It's true. You wouldn't believe
all the luck

Trixie's brought our family
over the past 400 years.

Oh, like that time I took Trixie
with me to the Scare Fair

and won an afterlife's supply
of bow ties.

Oh, I felt like the luckiest
ghost in the world.

And she can help you
feel lucky for your performance.

You won't be nervous
with Trixie by your side.

I can't believe
it's finally my turn

to use Trixie and her magic.

-Oh, I feel lucky already.
-[chuckles]

Trixie has that effect
on monsters.

Why don't you go practice
and see how you feel?

Thanks, Nan.

Okay, Trixie, I really need
your ghoul luck

to leap like
a human ballerina.

The trick is getting
lots of height.

Maybe try jumping
over something.

-Like this.
-Huh?

I didn't mean jump over me.

Hey!

Hey, that felt pretty good.

-Ah!
-[meows]

-Demi!
-[Vampirina laughs]

-So did that.
-Ahem.

-[barking]
-Oh, no.

Not you too, Wolfie.

-Ah!
-[laughs]

Whoo!

[giggles]

I think Trixie's magic
really is helping.

I'm getting better.

[laughs]
So is Wolfie.

Did you see
that werewolf leap?

No, I was too busy
diving out of the way.

How did I get myself
into this?

-[doorbell rings]
-Oh, that's Poppy and Bridget.

Hi, Vee.
Ready for rehearsal?

So ready.

I was feeling pretty batty
about the show,

but I've been practicing
a lot today.

-With this.
-[meows]

-Aww.
-Aww.

She's the cutest
little kitty ever.

Second to Miss Cuddle Cakes.

[panting]

[whimpers]

But so cute.

Thanks.

Trixie's my ghoul-luck charm.

Her magic is helping me
feel less nervous.

Wow, I wish I had
a ghoul-luck charm.

My mom invited
my entire family,

and it's making me
pretty nervous.

Did I mention
I have 14 cousins?

It doesn't matter
who's in the audience,

I always get nervous.

Well, maybe all you need
is a little ghoul luck too.

Do you think Trixie's magic
can help us?

[giggling]

Her cuteness is already
helping me.

I'll bring her
to rehearsal.

I have a feeling we're all
about to have a very lucky day.

Okay. I got this.

I'm not going to mess up.

No need to be nervous.

Right, Trixie?

-Meow.
-[Vampirina giggles]

Thanks. Here I go.

[meows]

Okay, my dancers.
Let's warm up.

Vee, why don't you
start us off?

Whew. Okay.

[purring]

-[Bridget] All right, Vee!
-[Poppy] Go, Vee!

Wonderful.

That grand jeté
was excellent.

That was amazing, Vee.

Thanks.

I have a spooky feeling
you'll be amazing too.

That was poltergeist-perfect,
thanks to you.

Now your ghoul-luck magic
can help my friends too.

Meow.

Whoa!

Huh?

How'd my shoes
come untied?

Are you okay, Popp--?

Achoo!

Huh? Oh!

-My glasses.
-Oh, my, my, my.

Girls, are you all right--?

[screams]

-I'll be right there!
-[Poppy] Watch out!

[all]
Whoa!

What in werewolves?

You okay, Poppy?

I think so.

-[fabric rips]
-[gasps] Oh, no!

My skirt.
What is going on?

It's like all of the sudden
I'm having a very unlucky day.

[gasps]
Oh, no. I hope it's not--

You don't think it could be--

-What if it's...
-[meows]

[both]
Trixie!

Whoa! Watch out, kids!

-The curtain!
-[all scream]

[gasps]
Trixie's magic helped me,

but not my friends.

-Trixie.
-[Trixie] Meow.

Come back here.

I think you should go now.

Meow.

Trixie, go home to Nan.

[meows]

Is everyone okay?

That was very strange.

I think that's enough rehearsal
for today.

Poppy. Bridget.
Are you okay?

I think so.

But I still can't find
my glasses.

Sorry. This is all my fault.

My ghoul-luck charm's magic
must cause good things

to happen to vampires,

but bad things to happen
to humans.

So that's why
my glasses broke?

And why my shoes
came untied.

And why the curtain fell
on the whole class.

[sighs]
I'm really sorry.

I didn't know a ghoul-luck charm
would bring bad luck to humans.

It's okay, Vee.

As long as you leave your charm
home during the show,

everything will be fine.

But that means I'll have
to dance without Trixie's help.

Oh, no.

Here comes the batty feeling
again.

[humming]

-[meows]
-Screamkins.

-How was your rehearsal?
-[sigh]

Battier than ever.

Turns out Transylvanian
ghoul-luck charms

do not work for humans.

-[meows and purrs]
-Trixie helped me dance my best,

but caused Poppy to trip
and Bridget's glasses to break.

It was a monster-sized mess.

Great gargoyles.

I should have known
a ghoul-luck charm

might have the opposite effect
on humans.

Sounds like they all had
a streak of bad luck

instead of the good kind.

Exactly.

But, Nan, now I can't bring
Trixie to the show with me.

How am I supposed to dance
without her?

Trixie may have helped you
feel less nervous,

but the dancing was all you,
screamkins.

I think it might be time
to let the charm go.

Every Hauntley
had to do it.

You can too.

-I can?
-Of course!

You know all the steps.

You're ready to dance
on your own.

Well, I don't want any more bad
luck to happen to my friends.

[purrs]

Okay, Nan. I'll try.

[Poppy]
This is it.

The big night.

I can't wait.

Or maybe I can.

You ready, Vee?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

Never been battier.
I mean, better.

[laughs nervously]

Let's go warm up.

[exhales]

Okay, Trixie.

I got to let you go.

Nan says I don't need you
anymore.

Oh, I could really use
your ghoul luck right about now.

[meows]

But I'm going to try
to do this alone.

-You can go home.
-[meows]

All right, dancers.
We're ready to start the show.

Good luck.

Oh, it's bad luck to say
"good luck."

Oh, I said it again.

[clears throat and chuckles]

Places, everyone.

[gasps]
Oh, no! Trixie!

Oh, the bad luck is back.

-[all scream]
-Don't worry.

I'm going to catch her.

Whoa! If I can.

Trixie, come here.

[girls]
Whoa!

-[grunts]
-Batkins?

The show should have started.
Everything all right?

Oh, Nan.
I thought I let Trixie go.

She must have
followed me.

What am I going to do?

Ghoul-luck charms can sense
when you need them, remember?

You really have to believe
you can dance

without your charm's help.

When you do,
Trixie will disappear for good.

But how am I supposed to know
if I can dance without her help?

Vee! What's going on?

I got to help them.

-[Bridget] What's going on?
-[gasps] Oh, no.

Oh, no!

Trixie, thanks for helping me,

but I got to do this without you
so my friends can dance.

I'm one-haunted percent sure
this time.

Whew.

I don't need
any ghoul luck.

Meow.

[all scream]

Whoo-hoo!

You did it, screamkins.

You don't need Trixie anymore.

-Mwah.
-I really don't.

Thanks, Nan.

I'm guessing
all that spinning

had something to do
with your ghoul-luck charm.

I'm sorry.
I guess I really didn't think

I could dance without
my charm's magic,

so she followed me.

It's okay.

As long as she doesn't
follow you again.

[laughs]
She won't.

I'm not even nervous anymore,
because I'm dancing with you.

-[applause]
-That's us.

-Everybody ready?
-Let's do this.

I'd say good luck,

but I'm thinking that's probably
a bad idea.

[laughs]

I don't need any luck at all.

Just my best friends
in the whole world.

[classical dance music plays]

[applause]
