the best ways to decorate your house!

Emily: (gasps) I almost forgot...costumes!
They're the biggest part of Halloween!
Clifford: And we've been planning our Halloween costumes
for so long!
Emily: Yeah! I can't wait to dress up
as a knight in shining armor!
Huzzah!
Clifford: And I can't wait to dress up as a fierce dragon!
Raaaaah!!
Emily: Hey, whaddaya say we try on our costumes right now?
Clifford: Why not? It's finally Halloween!
Emily/Clifford: ♪ It's gonna be the best Halloween ever! ♪

Emily: ♪ I'll dress up like a knight so brave and true! ♪

♪ Like a dragon, wild and free! ♪
♪ It's the best Halloween costume on you! ♪
Emily: (gasps) Clifford?
What happened to your dragon costume?
Clifford: I'm not sure.
It doesn't quite fit like it did when I first tried it on.
Emily: Hold on.
(struggling)
There! Fits perfectly!
(snap) Clifford: Woaaah!
(thud)
Clifford: Huh!
Maybe I had a growth spurt.
Emily: Oh no! They must have shrunk in the wash!
The big green cape doesn't cover your rump at all.
Clifford: Do I still look like a fierce dragon?
Emily: Um... Kinda.
Mr. Howard: Happy Halloween!
Wow!
What a terrific costume, Emily Elizabeth!
I am so honored to have a brave knight for a daughter.
Emily/Mr. Howard: (laughter)
Mr. Howard: And Clifford... You look...nice, too.
What is he supposed to be?
Emily: He's supposed to be a fierce dragon.
But his costume shrunk!
And it doesn't look anything like the picture in the book!
Clifford: (whines sadly)
Emily: But we're not going to let
one little problem ruin the best Halloween ever!
The sun hasn't gone down yet.
That means there's still time to find you another,
even better costume before Trick or Treating starts!
Clifford: Woof!
Emily: C'mon! We're off on a knightly quest
to find Clifford the best Halloween costume ever!
Fare-thee-well, father!
Oooh! Uhmmm!

Clifford: Eeeek!
(ka-thunk)
Uh... A little too scary.

(laughter)
(softly barking)
Emily: Oh oh!
Clifford: Uh? Woahhhh!
(crash)
A little too dizzy...
Emily: (sighs)
Mr. Howard: Hey there, costume questers!
So? Did you find a costume for Clifford?
Emily: Nope. Finding the best costume ever
is turning out to be really hard.
Mr. Howard: Hm. Looks like you might need some help.
Clifford: (slurp)
Mr. Howard: (laughter)
Sure, I'd be glad to help, Clifford!
Halloween is my favorite time of year!
And I'm something of an expert when it comes to costumes...
Emily: You do make great costumes, Dad!
Thanks! But we'd better hurry.
We have to find something for Clifford to wear
before the sun goes down and Trick-or-Treating starts!
Mr. Howard: Hmmmm.
I think I have an idea!
When I was a kid, I remember
dressing up as a scarecrow for Halloween,
it was one of my favorite costumes.
Maybe it'll be yours too, Clifford!
What do you think? Emily: It looks great!
Just a little more hay for your hair
and I think we've got ourselves
the best scarecrow costume ever, Clifford!
Clifford: Ahhh... Ahhhhhh... Emily: Oh no!
All this hay is gonna make Clifford sneeze!
Clifford: Aaaah-Chooooooooo!
(splatt)
Mr. Howard: So... scarecrow is a 'no.'
Emily: Ooh, it's getting later and later, Dad.
Are you sure we'll have a costume for Clifford
before Trick-or-Treating starts?
Mr. Howard: Don't worry. This is the perfect costume
for a big red dog,
a big red lobster!
See? He's starting to look just like the picture!
Emily: But he doesn't have any claws.
Mr. Howard: Not yet he doesn't...
But we can use picnic coolers as claws!
Clever, huh?
Clifford: Woof!
Emily: It's perfect!
Mr. Howard: Good! Now, let's go find another cooler
for his other paw.
Clifford: Wow! I'm just like a real lobster!
Yowwwww!
Yow yow yow yow yow yow yow!
(splash)
Mr. Howard: Okeey... No lobster.
Emily: Oh no! The sun is setting!
We're running out of time!
Mr. Howard: Don't worry, honey! We're almost there!
Once we dress Clifford up like a big, green alien
from outer space,
he'll have a costume that's out of this world!
Emily: But if we don't finish soon,
Clifford won't have a costume for Trick-or-Treating at all!
Mr. Howard: We're almost done.
Just gotta finish powdering him green.
Uh-oh.
Emily: What happened?
Mr. Howard: I think we may have run out of green doggy powder!
Emily: Nooooo!!
Clifford: (whines sadly)
Emily: But Clifford is half green and half red!
Mr. Howard: Uhhh... it's okay! Don't worry!
Maybe he can be a watermelon?
Or a red and green traffic light?
I'll think of something!
Emily: Oh, Clifford. I'm so sorry.
We tried everything, but it looks like
you're not going to have the best Halloween costume ever.
You may not even have a costume at all.
Clifford: That's okay, Emily Elizabeth.
But we'll still have fun together, right?
That is what will make Halloween the best to me.
Emily: Really? Clifford: Of course!
Emily: Aww!
Wait a minute. You're right!
Halloween isn't about the best costume or
best treats or best decorations,
it's about having the most fun!
We've been trying so hard to make this Halloween perfect,
we forgot to make it fun!
Clifford, what kind of costume
do you want to wear for Halloween?
Clifford: Well, I did really want to be a dragon.
Especially so we could play dragon and knight together...
Raaaahhhrrr!
Emily: (giggles) Then a dragon you shall be!
But we'll have to hurry!
Mr. Howard: I'm sorry, sweetie.
But all they had left was some purple hair coloring...
Emily: That's okay, Dad!
It's time to turn this big red dog into a big fierce dragon!
Huzzah!
Mr. Howard: Wait for me!
Emily: ♪ We'll try our very best ♪

Well, it's not perfect.
And he doesn't look anything like the picture in the book.
But somehow...
Clifford actually looks like a big, green dragon!
Clifford: Woof! Woof!
Mr. Howard: (laughter) And he loves it!
Emily: And we finished so quickly, we still have time
to play knight and dragon before we go Trick-or-Treating!

Ho ho! Ha ha! Hee hee!
Uh, Clifford.
I'm trying to battle you.
Clifford: (giggles) Sorry, Emily Elizabeth.
I couldn't help noticing how beautiful the sky looks
during a sunset...
Emily: The sun has set?
You know what that means...
It's the witching hour!
Clifford: Witching...hour...?
Emily: Time for us to go Trick-or-Treating!
Mrs. Howard: Alright! Who's ready for some Halloween fun?
Clifford: Woof!
Emily: We can't wait!
We're gonna meet up with our friends for Trick-or-Treating
and then go to the big Halloween party in Town Square!
Mr. Howard: Arrh! But first, we take family picture!
Arrh!
Emily: (giggles) Okay, Dad!
Mrs. Howard: Everyone say "Halloween!"
All: Halloweeeeeen! Clifford: Woof woof!
(click)
Mrs. Howard: You two be careful, now.
Ms. Ellerby and other grown-ups you know
will be around if you need them.
Mr. Howard: Stick together and have fun!
Emily: We will! Clifford: Woof!
Emily: C'mon, Clifford!
We're on a quest for tricks and treats!
But mostly treats!
Huzzah!
Mrs. Howard: We'll see you at the party for games and dancing!
Mr. Howard: Arg! Me like dancing! Arg!
Mrs. Howard: (laughter)
Clifford: I can't wait to Trick-or-Treat!
Emily: Me neither!
Just need to pick up Jack and we'll be one step closer
to those treats!
Clifford: I wonder what costume Jack's wearing!
Emily: Me too!
Hmm. He said he'd be waiting for us outside.
I wonder where he is...?
Jack: Blah blah!
Emily: Eeeeek! Clifford: Awooo!
Jack: (giggles) Clifford: Woof-woof!
Emily: (giggles)
Jack! You really surprised us!
What a great costume!
Jack: Dandks!
(mumbles)
Emily: Huh?
Jack: I said, it's a little hard to talk
with these fake teeth in my mouth!
Emily: (giggles) C'mon.
Let's go get Pablo!
Emily: Huzzah! Jack: Blah blah!
Clifford: Woof woof!
Jack: Pablo should be ready to go.
Where is he?
Emily: Pablo! Where are youuuu?
Pablo: Oooooooooooo!
Emily: Um. Did you guys hear that?
Jack: You mean that...spooky sound?
Emily: Maybe it was just the wind.
Pablo: Ooooooooooooo!
Jack: It wasn't the wind! It's a skeleton!
Emily: Eeek! Jack: Ahhh!
Pablo: Hi, guys! Happy Halloween!
Emily/Jack: Whew! (giggle)
Emily: Hi, Pablo!
Jack: Wow! You really scared us!
Emily: What a spoooooky costume!
Pablo: Thanks! But we'd better get going.
The sooner we pick up Samantha, the sooner we can...
Emily/Pablo/Jack: Trick-or-Treat!
Emily: You're right! Let's go!
Pablo: Ooooooo! Jack: Blah, blah!
Clifford: You know, Emily Elizabeth,
even though Jack and Pablo scared me,
it was still kind of fun.
Emily: I know what you mean!
That's what Halloween is all about!
Hi, Bailey! You look great!
Happy Halloween!
Pablo: Samantha! Why aren't you dressed in a costume?
Jack: Yeah. It's time for us to go Trick-or-Treating!
Samantha: Oh! Sorry, guys!
I got so wrapped up reading this book,
The Monster of the Murky Pond...
Emily/Jack/Pablo: Oooooo!
Samantha: Here, check it out while I get ready.
Don't worry, I'll only be two seconds!
Emily: "They say, there is a monster,
who lives in a murky pond.
And whenever anyone passes by,
the creature sneaks up behind them and..
Samantha: Blubba-blubba-boooo! All: Ahhhhhh!
Clifford: Awoooooo!
Samantha: (laughing) Gotcha!
Emily: (giggles) Jack: Samantha!
Pablo: Whaaat?! It's Sam!
Jack: Sam! You totally scared us!
Pablo: Yeah! That mask is really spooky!
Emily: Looks like you scared Clifford, too!
Clifford: (sofly whines) Emily: Clifford!
Clifford: Eek! Is the Monster from the Murky Pond gone yet?
Emily: There is no monster, Clifford.
It was just a mask.
Look!
See?
It was just Samantha playing a trick!
Clifford: Samantha?! Oh, wow.
That mask really scares me.
Emily: Aaaw. Don't worry.
It was all just for fun.
And speaking of fun...
It's time to go Trick-or-Treating!
Jack/Pablo/Samantha: Yayyyyyy!!

One for Pablo!
One for Jack!
And one for... Hey! Where did Samantha go?
Emily: Huh. She was here just a minute ago...
Samantha: Blubba-blubba-Booo!

Wow, Samantha, you sure got us good!
Uuuugh!
Jack: Yeah! I was really scared!
All: (giggle)
Emily: Clifford? Clifford: Eeek!
(clang-crash-bang)
Emily: Don't worry! It's just me!
Clifford: Is the monster still out there?
Emily: It's just Samantha in her mask again, Clifford.
It's all in good fun.
Clifford: Oh. Yeah. Good fun.
Emily: Are you okay?
Clifford: Sort of.
But that surprise wasn't as fun as all the other surprises
we had with Pablo and Jack.
I think that mask might be a little too scary for me.
Emily: Aww. I understand how you feel, Clifford.
There is a difference between "fun scary" and "scary scary".
Clifford: Maybe, I should just go home,
so you guys can all finish Trick-or-Treating together.
Emily: What? And miss out on all the Halloween fun?
No way!
I'll talk to Samantha about her mask.
I'm sure she wouldn't want to wear it,
if she knew it was making you too scared.
Don't worry, we'll face this scary Halloween mask together!
Knight and dragon!
Clifford: (giggles) Thanks, Emily Elizabeth!
Emily: Woah! Look at all of these fun decorations
for the Halloween party!
Clifford: It looks amazing!
Emily: There's Samantha.
Clifford: Uh-oh. Is she wearing the mask?
Emily: No. Why don't you stay here
by the bobbing-for-apples barrel and I'll go talk to her.
Hey, Sam!
Samantha: Hello, brave knight!
Ready for more Trick-or-Treating before the party?
Emily: You bet!
Uh, But about your Halloween mask...
Samantha: Isn't it the creepiest?
(Blubba-blubba-booooo!)
(giggles)
Emily: Yeah, but Clifford is super afraid of it.
He almost wanted to quit Halloween,
because it frightened him so much.
Samantha: Oh no!
I was just trying to give everyone a fun scare.
I don't want anyone to be really scared of it.
Especially Clifford.
Emily: I know that Sam...
Samantha: If it's too scary for him,
I don't have to wear it at all!
Emily: You're the best! Thanks, Sam!
Where is the mask, anyway?
Samantha: I left it over by the bobbing-for-apples barrel.
Emily: (gasps) The bobbing-for-apples barrel!
Oh no! Clifford is right next to it!
Clifford! Clifford!
Samantha: Yikes! The mask is caught on his tail!
Emily: We can't let him see it!
Clifford! Don't look behind you!
Whatever you do, don't look behind you!
Clifford: Bawrr? Bwaaaaaaa!
Pablo: He looked behind him...
Clifford: Bwaaaaaaa!
Woo-wooo-woaaaah!
Mrs. Howard: What was that?
Samantha: Oh no! We've got to help him!
Pablo: We've got to get that mask off his tail!
Emily: Chaaaaaarge!
Clifford: Woo-wooo-woaaaah!
Woo-wooo-woaaaah!
Jack: He's that way!
Clifford: Whew! I think I outran it.
(gulp) Eeeeeek!
Awooooooo!
Pablo: And he's coming this way!
Samantha: We've got to stop him!
All Kids: Clifford, stop! Wait!
Clifford: Awooooooo!
Jack: We can't stop him! He's too scared!
Clifford: (panting) Awwooooooo!
Awwooooooo!
Samantha: Uh oh! Here he comes again!
Jack: How are we going to get the mask off of his tail?
Emily: Stand back, everyone!
Clifford: Awwooooooo!
Emily: Huzzah!
Pablo/Jack: Woo-hoo! Samantha: She did it!
Emily: Clifford! Relax!
The Monster from the Murky Pond isn't chasing you!
Clifford: It isn't?
But it was right behind me!
Emily: Aw, Clifford. There's no monster.
It was just Sam's mask stuck on your tail!
Clifford: Sam's mask? Stuck on my tail? But...
(laughter)
You mean, I've been running away from my own tail?
Emily: (giggles) I know! It was just a silly mistake!
I'm glad you're okay.
Samantha: Are you alright, Clifford?
I'm so sorry my mask frightened you so much.
I never meant to frighten you.
Clifford: (slurp) Samantha: (giggles)
Emily: I think we've all had enough frights for one night.
