[ambient nature sounds]
[zaps]
[gate creaks]
[bird caws]
[ominous music playing]
[thundering]
-[nervous laughter] Show of hands,
who's totally creeped out by this place?
[all agreeing]
-We had to come here.
We have no idea where that Belial guy is.
But we know the Tree kinda spat him out.
PAT: And now it's growing?
I don't know what that means, but I don't like it.
-[thundering] -[all yell]
-Wait! -[sloshing sound]
Don't move.
-Why not? Why?!
[Maybe mumbles disgustedly]
What is that? [sniffs] Smells like death.
-[sniffs] Sulfur.
Classic demon.
This is just like in Dawn of Spawn
when demons crawled
and oozed up into our world from the abyss.
-Did that movie have a happy ending?
-Uh, no, it did not.
-[Stanley whimpers] -Look, footprints!
-Unless the demon came out wearing shoes,
someone else made those footprints.
-You think someone [gulps] stepped on the demon?
-I think someone is helping him.
[ambient street noise]
ALMA: That is not good.
Sorry, I mean-- Nope, there's no sugarcoatin' it.
Belial could be in cahoots with literally anyone!
If he's workin' with one of the rougarous or the vampires--
-What about vampires?
-Don't worry, Sugar,
the ones here aren't allowed to go around
biting unsuspecting people.
But I guess I don't know if they follow the rules.
Ya know, the Bunradys don't really seem like "rules" people.
- TheBunradys?
Like, the owners of The Bleeding Hearts Club?
They're actual vampires?!
-Mm-hm.
You see how they always drinkin' red coffee?
That ain't coffee. It's blood.
-My brother Paulie plays at their club.
There's no way he knows. I-I gotta warn him!
[door bell chimes]
[crowd cheering]
-Oh, right.
Today's the Friday the 13th parade.
-Yes! The 13th in the 13th is my favorite.
The mummy corndogs, the ghost beignets.
-My cupcakes that you've devoured.
-[loud munching] -Mm-hm, it's $200.
-Oh no. Remember Alvina's story about Belial?
He wanted a big "fear feast."
That's why he tried to burn down the school!
-So, if he attacked the parade, it would be a buffet!
-We have to find him and stop him.
ALMA: Just the three of you?
Well, where's the little one with the anger issues?
-Soleil, I know you're gonna say "ugh,"
but Marie Laveau did bring us together,
and also Missy's super strength would help a lot.
-But she's the worst. -She's not thatbad.
Belial is.
Not gonna lie, I'm scared.
-Guys, we can do this without her.
Besides, Missy doesn't even want to be a part of our Krewe.
Do we wantto be around that kind of energy?
-Uh... she is the strongest.
-Yeah, she beat a rougarou.
-[sighs] Ugh!
-I still don't think we need her.
PAT: Come on.
[Soleil groans, sighs]
[door creaks]
-Hey, Stanley.
-Hey, Jon Jon.
-Oh, Sol! What's the haps?!
Haven't seen ya around. Where've ya been?
-It's a looong story.
-I got this, Kuya.
-What? -M-Missy, we need your help.
-Not gonna happen. I'm busy.
-Doing what?
-Missy's got a hot date with her boooyfriend. Ow!
-Told ya. Now come on, we got a demon to catch.

[sighs]
[groans]
[upbeat jazz music playing at parade]
-You okay, Sunny? -Yeah, Ma.
Just, uh, looking for someone.
-STANLEY: Mm. -See, hon?
I totally "saw" that Sol's new friends
would love your bread puddin'!
-Never doubted you.
-Too bad Missy's not here. These are her favorite. Mm.
-Missy! Are you two talking again?
ALL: No.
-Okay. Sensin' some unresolved tension.
-[groans] I can't tell what's parade
-and what's trouble from here. -[crow cawing]
-[gasps] I have an idea!
[dramatic sting]
-This how you kids say "hi" now, huh?
-Why do I keep transforming?
It's not like there's a full moon or anything.
-We are not werewolves.
Full moons and silver bullets
got nothin' to do with rougarous.
-Fine, can you, like, send me a tutorial or something?
I have been freaking out all day.
I have a date with Nelson
and he can't see me as a fur ball!
-It's all about keeping your cool,
no matter what happens.
-[scoffs] I can be cool.
-[bowl clanks, crashes] -[Missy yelps, growls]
-[laughs] You were saying?
Buckle up, Buttercup, we got work to do.
**
-You will have your vengeance on those creatures.
Once the grunches attack, they will blame each other.
-And you will have all the fear you could possibly want.
[shrill scraping sounds]
You know what to do.
[growling]
[indistinct chatter]
[Maybe gasps]
- Aw, man...
Huh?
-Aah! -[growls]
[whimpers]
-Hello. You are Paulie's brother, aren't you?
We just adore Paulie.
-Um, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Bunrady. Have you seen him?
I need to... tell him somethin'.
-Have you seen Paulie, darling? -No.
Because when I'm in a room, all I see is you, my love.
-And I, you, mon coeur.
[tense music playing]
[Fiona giggles]
If we do see Paulie, we will tell him you dropped by.
MAYBE: Uh-huh.
-Happy 13th, Will. OTIS: Ta-ta.
-All right, let's practice.
Mrs. Young will stand in for Nelson.
- Um, okay, but-- - [imitating Nelson] Hey, babe.
You look great.
Is that new eyeliner? It's fresh.
-[chuckles] Aw, thank you.
And yes, it's a waterproof eyeliner I got--
Whoa, wait! How'd you--
-[normal] I listen when you kids come in.
-Your drink orders.
-[glass clinks] -Whoopsie-doodle!
-Uh! [growls]
-Ooh, temper!
That is your first problemo,kid.
You're a fighter.
-I have three brothers! It's a reflex, okay?
[Missy groans]
-Well, any time you feel the need to attack,
your rou will come out.
So, if you don't want a case of beefy arms,
you gotta be--
-Zen. -All the time.
-Back to the top! -[Missy groans]
[crowd cheering]
-Sooo, let's say we find Belial.
I want to believe in us, but I honestly don't know
how we're gonna stop him without Missy.
-My fire hands, Stanley's Ayizan smarts.
-I'm also good at running and catching.
Footballs mainly, but I bet other stuff, too.
So, no worries.
-Cool! And, hopefully, you'll hear Belial coming,
so we can get the upper hand.
We don't need Missy.
Besides, even if she was here,
she'd be too busy staring at her reflection to help us anyway.
-[light music playing] -[Missy chuckles]
-[imitating Nelson] Yo, babe. The color of your hair.
Totally like lavender fields in Northern Italy.
-Aw.
[roars]
Thanks, babe. [gasps, giggles]
-Hey, hey, hey, almost, kid!
-A little more practice and-- - [scoffs] I barely reacted.
And with the right manicure, you can't even tell.
Besides, I still have to get ready for my date.
-Hang on, is getting ready more important than this?
Ya still have work to do.
-Um, I think I set my own expectations
on what I'm capable of?
So, deuces, boomers.
-Hmm.
-[indifferent growl] -[door opens]
But, like, thanks... Five stars.
[Lou chuckles]
[ominous music playing]
[whooshing]
**
-[squeak] -Oh!
OTIS: Yes, my love, I am feeling a little... hungry.
[Maybe whimpers]
Nice of you to bring me dinner. I'm starving.
[Fiona laughs]
-[softly] Paulie!
[grunches growling]
[crows cawing]
-[sniffs] Do you smell that?
-[sniffs] Smells like that black ooze.
-[gasps] Belial! -[phone buzzing]
-You gotta come to the club now! Bleeding Hearts! Hurry!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. What?
MAYBE [over phone]: The Bunradys are gonna drain Paulie!
[upbeat jazz music playing at parade]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Missy yelps] -Hey, babe. You look great.
Ready to-- [gasps] Your hair!
-What? Uh, what do you mean?
-It looks so good! -[Missy sighs of relief]
Want me to get someone to take our picture?
-Aw, thanks! But only I know our best angles.
[camera clicks]
-'Scuse me. Sorry. Excuse me.
-[sighs] Y'all made it! We have to save Paulie.
He could be dead by now!
[solo trumpet music plays in club]
[indistinct chatter]
-Uhh, Paulie looks kind of alive to me.
-He is. He's alive.
[upbeat jazz music playing in club]
-[growling] -[glass shatters]
-[all screaming] -[crashes]
[grunches growling]
-What are those things?!
-Grunches. Of course, they're real!
[growling]
-Let the feast begin.
-[growling] -[screaming]
[Dark Smoke inhaling]
Yes... so many exquisite flavors... of fear.
-I hear Belial. He's feeding on everyone's fear.
-Then we have to convince them not to be afraid.
-S-So, what do we do? -We take these suckers out.
-Hey, ugly! -[people screaming]
-[roars] FIONA: What's going on?
-Grunches? -In our club?
[growling]
-[vampire hisses] -[growls]
[ominous music playing]
-[screaming] -[Nelson yells]
-[growling] -[hissing]
[vampire grunts, groans]
-No!
-[gasps] Nelson!
[Missy groans]
[deep breath]
-[groans] -[growling]
[Missy grunting]
Nobody gets away with attacking my boyfriend!
[roars]
-[yells] Get away from me!
-Paulie! -[Paulie panicking]
[Paulie yells]
[grunts]
-[piano fall echoes] -[growling]
[panting]
-Hey, big bro. -[nervous chuckle]
-What was that?! Where did you come from?!
-Stanley, we gotta get you close enough to touch a grunch,
so we can figure out how to take 'em out.
-How? -[sighs] We're gonna need Missy.
STANLEY/PAT: Knew it.
-Really? Now?
[Missy grunting]
-[Missy panting, screams] -[growling]
[grunts]
[growling]
-Wow. That's new. -[Missy exhales]
-I'd clap, but these cretins are gonna eat everyone!
-Can you hold it long enough for Stanley to touch it?!
[growls]
**
[roars]
[Missy/Soleil grunting]
-Stanley, now!
[Stanley panting, yells]
-[roars] -[Stanley screams]
-To defeat a grunch, one must play the devil's chord.
-The Devil's Chord?! I-I know that!
[yelling]
Paulie, help me with the piano!
[both grunting]
[growling]
**
[grunting]
[roaring]
-[plays the Devil's Chord] -[growls]
[rock crumbling]
[indistinct chatter]
-I hope you enjoyed the show!
Come back next week for more
[spooky voice] thrills and chills.
Thank you, thank you!
[applause, cheering]
-[groans angrily] No!
[metal creaking]
-Thank you, everyone. What a performance.
-What happened?
-You fell during the show and hit your head, silly boy.
Wait. [gasps] You are Cassie's son, right?
-Yeah. -It's like she's looking at me through your eyes.
Please come back again, won't you?
-You're gonna be okay, babe.
**
STANLEY: Ha-ha! Way to know chords, bro!
-Me? Bro, you rode a demon!
-We all work together pretty well.
Allof us. A-All fiveof us.
[coughs] Missy.
-[sighs] Yeah. We couldn't have done it without you, Missy.
-[scoffs] Understatement.
And if I ever want a normal life again,
I guess I have to help your little demon-dork cause.
[sighs] You weren't so bad yourself.
Didn't know you had air hands or whatever.
-Me neither. Where'd that come from?
-Ayida Weddo, remember? Fire, Water, Air.
We were trying to protect a lotta people.
She'd definitely wanna help.
-Telling the guests this was all a show,
brilliant, ma chérie.
-And for that, mwah, as well as your bravery,
we are eternally grateful to you all.
-Wow, vampires are so nice! -Yeah.
I gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna drain
-my brother. -Oh, no, no, no.
We only feed on blood that's been donated.
We would never hurt Paulie. We love him.
-Okay, there's a lot we're gonna have to talk about later.
-Yeah, and I got some questions for you, too.
-I still don't understand how this happened.
-Someone must have stolen our guiro rasp, my love.
-A demon named Belial was behind this attack.
-Belial? I haven't heard that name for centuries.
No, no, no, if he's back, he wouldn't target us
when there was a whole parade to frighten.
-We think someone's helping him. Remember the footprints?
Is there anyone who might have a grudge against you?
**
[indistinct chatter]
-Hey -We need to speak with Lou!
-Move. Out of our way! -Let us in!
-[grunts] Lou! You stole the rasp from us, didn't you?!
-What are you talking about?
-The grunches attacked our club!
We lost two vampires tonight!
If this is some misguided payback for Malcolm.
-Uh, who's Malcolm?
-You admitting you killed the leader of our pack?
-Malcolm was my friend. I would never.
-Oh, we all know you two had a falling out, Fiona.
He was found drained of blood with two bite marks right here.
-If a vampire touched Malcolm, they would have meto deal with.
We agreed longago not to fight one another.
Have you gone back on your word?
-Oh, when we come for you, Fiona,
you're gonna see us coming.
We won't hide behind some demon lizards.
-Are you threatening my wife? -[hisses]
-[marching band music playing] -[Furst chuckling]
-Move your big, hairy self out of the way!
-Okay, whoa!
We definitely don't know what this is about,
but there's no way Lou attacked the club.
-Sol's right. Lou knew we were there,
and he's totally saved us more than once.
Why would he try to kill us now?
-Besides, do you know anyone who's evil
and makes pizza this good? Mmm!
-Very well, we will assume your innocence... for now.
-[roars] As will I.
**
-Yes, hi! [laughing] Huh?
**
[groans]
[ominous music playing]
-You promised they'd be at each other's throats!
What happened?
-You're not the only one who's disappointed, mortal.
The Loa endowed five adolescents with otherworldly powers.
They got in the way of my feast
and now, my restoration is incomplete.
-Ah, shame, they're good kids,
but they gotta go.
