watching movies!

What you need is a realscare.

So, you need to go
somewhere scary.

And preferably stay there
all night.

Somewhere creepy and empty.

Like, um, uh...

[electric buzzing]

...the Chum Bucket?

Yeah, that's it,
the Chum Bucket!

[both gasp]

No one ever goes in there.

Maybe because it's haunted.

Oh, sure. The Chum Bucket
is full of ghosts.

Now lock yourselves in
and don't come out 'til morning!

Thanks, Squidward.

This is gonna be
the best Halloween ever!

Yeah! You wanna come with us?
