Wait. So I just spent an hour of my life
watching this dude wait for a Great Pumpkin
-that never even showed up?! -[chuckles]
It's not about the pumpkin.
It's about the message of hope.
Well then, I hope you never waste my time like that again.
[knocking on door]
-Happy Halloween! -Ahh!
I'm sorry.
I'm just really excited.
Halloween is my favorite time of year.
Oh. Come on, I have something to show you!
Whoa!
What's all this?!
I wanted to make your first Halloween extra special.
So I decorated your yard.
Do you like it?
Well, it's a little over the top
but I guess that's your brand.
I think it looks great, Hartley!
I especially love the way the lights cast
just the right glow on Amy's disgusted face.
Well, I'm gonna go back inside before someone
mistakes me for being fun and festive.
Come on, Amy.
It's your first Halloween.
Let's see some holiday spirit!
Uh, did someone say spirit?!
Look who just showed up in the mail!
[woman] Hello, my lovelies!
What is that thing?!
Hey, I don't talk about your grandmother like that.
-Grandmother?! -Yeah, that's right.
My mother's spirit is in an orb!
The storage facility was gonna throw her away
so we had them ship her here.
The one piece of mail the post office couldn't lose!
Step in here and say it to my face!
Okay, hold up .
Why is your grandma in an orb?
Because glass is the only thing that will keep her trapped.
Yeah, her villain spirit is super dangerous.
She can take over any object or person.
She's basically a blue-haired body snatcher.
Which allows her to act out the evilest of deeds.
Remember when her spirit was loose?
None of us were safe.
-[upbeat rock music] -[sirens wail]
[groans]
Mummy! Get out of my son!
[Grandma Havoc] If you insist!
Oh, come on!
[Grandma Havoc] What's wrong, Havoc?
Grandma just wants some quality time with you!
[grunts]
Oh, well this is not the way to get it!
Why couldn't you just throw bread at birds like a normal grandma?
[Grandma Havoc] Never!
Check out this shot!
off the Havoc, through the grandsons
and into the corner daughter.
-[retches] -[grunts]
[groans]
You promised you wouldn't body-snatch your own family!
[Grandma Havoc] Oh, did I? Oh, well.
[grunts] Oh, right--
[strains] Ugh, get out!
Ahh!
[gasps]
[Grandma Havoc] No, no, no!
[gasps]
Got her!
I was gonna use this as a hi-tech hand vac
but hey, whatever works!
So whatever you do,
do not let her con you into breaking her out.
She's just itching to get loose
and reclaim the title of most dangerous villain in the world.
How could you ditch your grandma
and move to Texas to be a normal family?
"The Maddens"? Really?
We left in a hurry.
If I didn't have time to bring my favorite underpants,
I certainly didn't have time to bring you.
Yeah, before I have to hear anymore
about your dad's underpants, I'm gonna go.
Lots to do before my Sunshine Club Halloween party tomorrow night.
You do know I invited you all, right?
-Sorry, homework. -I only socialize with adults.
Oh, come on, it's gonna be fun!
We're gonna bob for apples and do a witch hat ring-toss!
Or we could turn it into a haunted house so terrifying,
that everyone cries into their cheap, ill-fitting costumes!
It's a party. We're not trying to
send kids home with a stress disorder.
What are we even doing?
[theme music plays]
[upbeat rock music]
Dad has to have some device I can bring
to help liven things up at Hartley's Halloween party.
Let's see. Brain Boiler? No.
Acid Rain Blaster? No.
I love the dude but some of these
are not worth the clean up.
Okay, Grandma, we're gonna leave you
down here for a while.
Someone left her on the front porch.
She's been taunting people for hours.
[Grandma Havoc] Spoiler alert:
Hope you weren't too attached to your mail carrier.
Come on, Amy, we're gonna be late for my Halloween party.
The Glee Club is kicking things off
with a funny song about candy corn getting stuck in your teeth.
What? It's a banger!
Like my costume?
Anyone can be a pumpkin. I'm pumpkin guts!
Huh. Smelly, gross and hard to look at.
It's a perfect fit!
Oh, well, I still have to put my costume on.
Why don't you two head out and I'll just meet you there?
Okay. [chuckles]
Wait.
You're not planning to go all villain
and bringing one of your dad's devices to my party, are you?
[scoffs] Well, now that you've spoiled the surprise--
Amy?
Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior.
[sighs]
Grandma, my first Halloween is supposed to be fun.
I wanna be there for Hartley
but there's nothing for me to even do at this party.
I can't prank people, I can't use my powers...
Bring me!
I'll definitely liven it up.
It'll be just like old times!
Remember when we took off in that hearse?
Yeah we really put the fun' in funeral that day.
But I don't know about bringing you to the party, Grandma.
Oh, come on! I've missed spending time with you.
And how much damage could I possibly do
inside this thing?
We can tell people I'm a haunted crystal ball.
It'll be fun!
Yeah. You know what? Why not?
I like where your head's at.
Yeah, well, you know what I mean.
♪♪
-Boo! -Ahh!
Ahh!
Sorry, I should've seen that coming.
Just excited to be celebrating our first Halloween!
I know! We get to wear crazy costumes
and do scary things!
It's like this day was made for us.
Totally!
Hey, where's your mother?
Well, I figured we could use a break
so I had Jake put her downstairs.
Too bad he couldn't put her further underground.
Flashform!
Hey, what is that?
It's my villain suit.
No, I mean, "Flashform! Flashform!"
Are you a villain or are you doing a residency in Vegas?
Okay, look.
Since I didn't get my power or my suit
till after we moved to Texas,
I can wear this as my Halloween costume
and no one will know I'm a villain!
Oh, what a great idea!
Oh, but first, I think you need to zip up your little villain fly.
[knocking on door]
[all] Trick or treat!
Oh, I've heard of this! [chuckles]
I will take a treat.
Okay, you're supposed to give them a treat.
Well, that's no fun.
In that case, I will give you a trick.
No, okay.
they do the tricks if you don't give them a treat.
Oh.
Well, is there nothing in this for me?
But seriously,
if you have the nerve to come to our house
and knock on our door, then you're gonna give us treats
or you're going to get tricked!
Here! Don't be stingy
Well, I was gonna go out trick-or-treating tonight,
but it looks like you guys found a way
to bring the candy right to me.
Welcome to my Halloween party!
I know what you're thinking.
Games, a snack table.
Oh, how could it get better?
Well...
Say hello to my "make-your-own-spooky snow-globe station!"
Just add water, glitter, some cute little bats, and voila!
A spooky Halloween souvenir!
It's the highlight of my party!
Cool!
It's gonna be a long night.
Wow, Grandma. Look at this place!
Hartley did a pretty good job, this actually could be fun.
[Grandma Havoc] Don't you go soft on me!
What are you supposed to be?
Isn't it obvious? I'm a black cloud.
Didn't need a costume for that.
Wait. Is that--?
Grandma! In the flesh!
Well, you know what I mean.
Why did you bring her here?
Relax, we just wanted to have some fun together.
[Grandma Havoc] We're gonna prank everyone and tell them
I'm a haunted crystal ball.
Are you crazy?
If Hartley finds out, she's gonna freak.
Oh, hey, Amy! [chuckles]
-She's coming! -[grunts]
-I don't want it. -I don't want it.
Ah! [laughs] Hartley. Hi!
It's about time you got here.
[Grandma Havoc] Let me out! I want to party!
- What was that? -Uh, that was me.
[high-pitched voice] Let's party!
Oh, come on, we're gonna play "Pin the tail on the black cat!"
Eh, pass. Sounds like animal cruelty.
It's not a real cat.
Now I feel like I'm being duped.
Just come on!
Oh!
-You broke it! -Me?
Well, I'm certainly not going to take responsibility.
Oh, no. Look!
[Grandma Havoc] Oh, yeah!
Ain't no party like a Grandma party!
[screams]
'Cause a Grandma party don't stop.

Ah, it feels so good to stretch out my straw!
Grandma, we know you're happy to be out of that orb,
but let's not do anything reckless.
Yeah, you're allowed to scare crows but nothing else.
Ha! I can do whatever I want to do!
And neither one of you can stop me!
Wanna bet?
[grunts]
Great, I am literally grasping at straws here.
I've been stuck in that orb for years.
And I'm ready to make up for lost time.
I'll start by force-feeding caramel apples
to all the kids with braces.
You monster!
Oh, come on, we've gotta go stop her!
How? The orb's broken. We won't be able to contain her.
-Contain who? -Ahh!
Contain our excitement for your...
super fun "stitch the tail on the cat game."
Oh, it's "pin the tail."
Stitch, pin, poke, prod--
Let's just stick this kitty!
[all] Trick or treat!
Oh, so kind of you! I would love a treat.
Oh, well then.
If I had feelings, that would've hurt.
You know what that means
If you don't give us your treats,
then you'll be getting a trick.
[electricity crackles]
[kids scream]
I love Halloween!
Wow, this is actually working!
I can't wait to divide all this up!
Oh, we already did.
Your pile is over there.
[sighs]
Black licorice and raisins?
This is just the stuff you don't like.
What, you want us to give you the stuff we do like?
That's rather selfish.
[upbeat rock music]
I'm pretty sure you don't have to spin me around this much.
Don't blame me.
You're the one who invented this crazy cat game.
[screaming]
[Grandma Havoc] No need to be scared!
I just want to see how many of you
I can stuff into a locker.
And go!
[sighs] I couldn't stop her.
I can see that!
Grandma?
Listen.
We have to contain your spirit,
or we're gonna get in a ton of trouble.
What's the big deal?
I'm just a scarecrow.
An innocent scarecrow intent on scarring
these little suckers for life!
Grandma, you have to stop before someone gets hurt.
Ow!
[gasps] Did I win?
-No. -You did in my book.
Jake?
What are you doing with my scarecrow decoration?
Uh... dancing!
Yeah, it's an old villain tradition.

It's just giving out candy.
Don't mind if I do.
Uh-uh!
Celia?
Boo.
Are you really trick-or-treating?
Every Halloween since I was a young girl,
I've been the Grim Reaper.
T like to remind people that they're dead to me.
You really should wear that get-up more often,
You know, give people a chance to see the softer side of you.
I heard rumors about you two snatching candy
from the neighborhood kids.
[sighs] And let me guess. You want in?
No. I want you to give those treats back
to everyone you stole them from.
And you can start by giving me double.
Oh, come on, Celia, you're celebrating Halloween
in your own... unique way.
Let us do our thing, too.
Return the candy.
Or the real Grim Reaper will visit you tonight
and teach you both a lesson!
Uh, Celia, we're adults!
Do you really think your little made-up
Halloween story is gonna scare us?
Time will tell.
Nighty night, neighbor!

Oh, very funny, Celia.

Okay, is it me or is she a lot faster than she looks?

[Grandma Havoc] Let me go!
You're the worst dance partner I ever had!
I have an idea. Find something made of glass
to contain Grandma in
I'll use my super-strength to

Uh.. this will work!
You squeeze, I'll trap.
-Okay, here goes. -[grunts] No, no, no!

Where'd she go?
Uh, I don't know.
She's heading for Hartley! She's gonna body-snatch her!
Oh, come on, Grandma knows Hartley is my best friend.

Fix this!
Okay, but just so I'm clear...
what happens if you don't?

Oh, and wear a mini-skirt.
It's been a long time since I could rock one of those.

Oh, not gonna happen!
Get out of me!

Ooh!
For someone with no body,
she's weirdly strong.
Jake, just use your super strength

I can't squeeze Hartley with that much force!
It'll crush her! Are you prepared to deal with that mess?
Because I'm not.
Will you hurry? 'Cause I don't know how much longer
I can hold her off.
Keep fighting! If she gets full control,
we could lose you forever.

Of course!
But wait, she has a key!
