12:01.

It's officially Halloween.

So this is midnight, huh?

Not impressed.

I have been waiting 364 days

to get back at Billie for pranking us last year.

- So what's the plan? - Simple. I conjure a box of worms.

We sneak in. I dump. She screams.

We laugh. We run.

You had me at dump. Let's do this.

- Boo! - [screams]

[screeches]

Hah. I can't believe you double crossed your own brother.

Yeah, I probably just destroyed

- a lifetime of trust. - Ugh.

Eh, worth it.

Guys, what is all the...

[yells]

Bonus scare. Nice!

You know, I always thought Halloween was about the candy,

but it's really about scaring the fudge out of the people you love.

Now you get it.

Hi, GhostMates?

Yeah. I need to order some ghosts

for my haunted house tonight.

Okay. Let me get a sheet shaker, a chain rattler,

and you still got that buy-one-get-one on those shriek lovers?

- Perfect. Thanks. - [door opens]

Oh my.

Check it out.

You said get a dairy costume?

I got a dairy costume.

I said get a scary costume.

Dang it! I knew I was overthinking it.

I said, "Winter, don't overthink it."

And what did I do?

Overthought it.

Don't worry. I got the scary part covered for tonight.

I'm turning our living room into a Halloween haunted house

with real ghosts from the wizard world.

Did you ask Mr. Russo if you could use real ghosts?

Oh, I didn't have to.

He and Alex did the same thing at their parents' sub shop

back in the day. He's gonna love it.

[Justin groans]

- Oh, my. - Happy Halloween, Mr. Russo.

Is it? Some of us have been up since midnight

because we got the fudge scared out of us.

I am so sorry

that Milo did that to you.

But, hey, I've got something

that I think might cheer you up.

What would you say if I told you

we're gonna throw the scariest haunted house on Staten Island

with, wait for it, real ghosts.

I would say, wait for it,

no.

What do you mean, "no"?

Wizards love Halloween, and you're a wizard.

I'm also tired, and I'm cranky and the last thing that I want

is a house full of screaming ghosts.

But, hey, I really appreciate you asking me first.

Uh, Billie?

Your ghosts are here.

Shoot! Get out!

Go toward the light!

I mean, old Billie would have ordered the ghosts first

and then asked for permission.

She was a real rascal, wasn't she?

I'm so proud of you, Billie.

You really... Haven't changed a bit.

I know I should have asked you first,

but since they're already here...

No ghosts. No haunted house.

Wow. Justin's really lost his Halloween spirit.

I guess we're just gonna have to send the ghosts back.

But we can't throw a haunted house without ghosts.

They're the haunted part.

Otherwise we're just throwing a house.

Oh. Tripwire.

That's troubling.

[skeleton laughs]

Aw, Dad, you tripped my tripwire.

Oh, sorry for walking down the only hallway

to my bedroom.

Now excuse me, I'm gonna go take a nap.

A nap?

It's ten in the morning.

Was that for me?

You call this a prank?

You didn't even use magic.

This is just a janky decoration

from the Halloween store.

I used magic...

to conjure a janky decoration from the Halloween store.

Why are you still trying to prank me, anyway?

Are you still mad about this morning?

You mean when I was betrayed by my own flesh and blood

on our first wizard Halloween,

when our bond should be unbreakable?

Yeah, I'm a little miffed.

It was just a joke.

Yeah, but it was supposed to be a joke on Billie.

We were brothers, Milo, but... but you made us enemies.

We're "brenemies."

I'm sorry. I won't prank you again. I promise.

[Giada screams]

Who put a three-headed rat !in my shower?

In my defense, it was meant for Roman.

Then why was it in my shower?

I wasn't gonna put it in ours.

I use that shower too.

No more pranks, period.

[Roman, Milo] Sorry, Mom.

Here, I'll get rid of the rat.

Nice try. If I leave it with you,

you'll just name it and try to raise it.

I would not name it.

I will find you, Jeffrey.

I guess the prank war's off.

What do you say? Truce.

Truce? You think I'm gonna give up that easy

on our first wizard Halloween?

I will give you candy.

You got yourself truce.

You know what? I'm just gonna stand.

Winter, why don't you just take your costume off?

I can't.

The zipper broke so my mom had to sew me into it.

I'm in this thing till curfew.

I can't believe Justin canceled my haunted house.

Why is he suddenly being a Halloween Scrooge?

It's from this wizard story called "A Halloween Carol"

where this guy, Wizbenezer Scrooge,

loses his Halloween spirit,

and to get it back, these three ghosts

show him his Halloween Future, Present and Past.

Mortals have the same story, but it's set at Christmas

and the ghosts start in the past and...

We stole it, didn't we?

Wait.

What if Justin's being a Scrooge,

because he lost his Halloween spirit?

Do you think if we help him find it,

- he'll let us do our haunted house? - Are you really asking?

Nope. I already made up my mind.

Now, Justin Russo, prepare to get Halloween Carol-ed!

Billie, I can't get out of here.

Wait. How did I get in here?

- That's a great pumpkin, Milo. - Thanks.

I can't help but notice that it's the same size as your head.

[giggles]

Yeah, I guess it is.

It even has your triangle nose and your goofy grin.

[giggles]

- What are you talking about? - Oh, nothing.

Just... just the observation of a loving brother.

Nothing more.

[giggling]

Okay, what's going on?

Oh, I pranked you!

I pranked you so hard.

What? But we had a truce.

I only made you think we had a truce.

That way, you wouldn't be suspicious

of my "peace offering" of candy,

but it was actually Wizard candy.

And any minute now, your head's gonna turn

into a jack-o-lantern.

[laughs maniacally]

No, uh, it's not. I didn't eat the candy.

I put in my secret hiding spot.

But I checked there and it's gone.

Well, I didn't eat it. And the only other person

who takes candy from my hiding spot is...

- [Giada] Boys! - Oh, no.

[Giada] I cannot believe you didn't listen to me.

We talked about this.

It wasn't me. Roman did it.

But it was supposed to happen to Milo.

How would it happen to Milo?

He doesn't even know how to use the washing machine.

I don't and I refuse to learn.

Wait, washing machine?

One of you left a red pen in your pocket.

And now all your dad's tighty whities are tighty pinkies.

That's why you're mad at us?

Unless there's some other reason I should be mad at you.

No, no, that is it.

That is the reason.

Why are you guys looking at me like that?

Is there something on my face?

Quick! Do something!

Just admiring your supermodel costume.

But I'm not wearing a...

Oh...

I see what you're doing. Okay.

You're not in trouble this time.

[laughing] Supermodel.

Who, me?

Oh, that was close.

Can we just agree that we're even now?

Sure. I won't get back to you

for almost giving me a pumpkin head.

You've got nothing to worry about.

[giggling]

[Justin snoring]

[thunder rumbling]

[Billie, booming voice] Justin Russo!

[continues snoring]

Justin Russo!

[snoring]

Justin, someone spilled grape juice on the couch.

Use baking soda and sparkling water,

but dab, don't wipe!

Billie, what are you doing here?

I am here with a dire warning.

You have lost your Halloween spirit,

and I'm here to show you the consequences of losing it.

Billie, is this about me canceling the haunted house?

Obviously.

At the stroke of, uh...

what time is it?

- 11:26. - 11:26 am.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Actually, one, me. I'm the spirit.

Billie, I just want to take a nap.

No nap for you, Wizbenezer.

[thunder rumbling]

Wizbenezer?

Wait, wait, wait. Are you trying to Halloween Carol me?

Uh, duh.

Let's roll.

Behold your Halloween Future.

Your loss of Halloween spirit has turned the world

into a nightmare for your family.

[microwave dings]

[sighs] Boys, dinner's ready.

[Roman] Cricket loaf?

- Again? - But it's Halloween.

Maybe for some people, sweetie, but not for us.

[♪ tragic music playing]

Billie, what is this?

It's the future you created

when you canceled my haunted house.

The world is now divided into those

who have Halloween spirit, the "Have-oweens,"

and those who don't, the "Have-not-oweens."

That's not a thing.

Yeah? Then why is a Have-oween living in our house,

while we live in the backyard and eat bug loaf?

Who's living in our house?

Happy Halloween, Have-not-oweenies!

Billie, there's no way any of this happens

just 'cause I canceled a haunted house.

Okay.

Then perhaps a glimpse of your Halloween Present

might change your mind.

Look at what your loss of Halloween spirit

has done to your precious baby boys.

[chuckles] Hey, Milo, check this out.

- [chuckles] Nice, send that to me. - Okay.

So sad.

Sharing memes like it's any old Saturday.

No costumes. No trick-or-treating.

We should probably get our costumes.

Yeah, we gotta start trick-or-treating.

Wow. Well, you really changed my mind.

I guess I'll just go upstairs,

think about what I learned and take a nap.

Nice try, Wizbenezer.

You still have yet to see your Halloween Past.

[Giada] Hey, boys, are you gonna want dinner

before or after you trick-or-treat?

Well, after I'll be full of candy

so probably before we...

Ghost!

I mean, you're not a ghost.

[whispering] Why is she a ghost?

[whispering] I don't know.

I put ghost powder in your bed so when you made it...

- I don't make my bed. - Then who makes our beds?

I'll give you two guesses, and one of them's a ghost.

What are you two whispering about?

Just deciding which of your meals is our favorite.

They're all bangers!

[doorbell rings]

Ooh, our first trick-or-treaters.

This is so exciting.

No, wait, Mom don't!

Happy Halloween!

[girls scream]

That was weird.

This generation's soft. Been saying it for years.

Can you just turn her back already?

You know what? Forget dinner.

You're just gonna fill up on candy anyway.

Just eat some green ones.

We'll count it as a vegetable.

Oh gosh, that was too close.

All right. Truce for real this time?

Truce for real.

Have we ever shaken hands before?

I think this is the first time.

- Can it be the last? - Absolutely.

If the Halloween Past doesn't bring back your spirit,

nothing will.

What are we doing in the sub shop?

Is this the haunted house Alex and I did?

The one with the real ghosts?

That's right. I brought you here so you'll remember

how fun Halloween can be and to get your spirit back.

Billie, get us out of here, right now.

But we'll miss the best part.

[laughs evilly]

Boogily, boogily, boogily Boogily, ah!

[Young Justin yells]

Captain Jim Bob, protect me.

[laughs] Did you just see that crazy face that ghost made?

See? Halloween haunted houses are fun.

So do you have your Halloween spirit back?

No. Get us out of here right now.

Fine.

Was that Justin Russo?

[laughs maniacally]

[sighs]

Good. We're back and Mantooth's gone.

Wait, Mantooth? You know him?

You mean the ghost who hid under my bed every night of my childhood?

Yeah, I know him.

Alex invited him to our haunted house

and that was the last haunted house I ever did.

But you're not still scared of Mantooth, are you?

[scoffs] Of course not. I'm a grownup.

Great, so I can have my haunted house?

- No. - Why not?

'Cause I'm a grownup and I said so.

Now go to bed.

But it's like 6:45.

Finally, I can get some sleep.

Just close your eyes and don't think of Mantooth.

- [thunder rumbling] - [Mantooth chuckles]

[Mantooth chuckling]

Hey!

You asleep?

[Justin yells]

Mantooth, what are you doing here?

I followed you.

I haven't heard from you in years.

But now that I found you, I'm going to haunt you...

[yells] ...forever!

Oh. Oh, good. He's gone.

Nope, I'm here. I just dropped a contact.

Now, where was i?

Oh, that's right.

Boogily boogily boogily boogily boogily!

- [Mantooth laughs] - No! [yells]

Happy Halloween!

So do you want to go trick-or-treating?

I'm thinking we just turn the porch light off

and house the entire rest of this bowl.

[Giada yells]

[screams] What happened to my hair?

- What did you do? - I didn't do that.

Well, she's gonna think one of us did.

Wait. I have an idea.

But you're not gonna like it.

- Does it get me out of trouble? - Maybe.

Good enough for me.

[hair trimmer buzzing]

Get away from me!

[Mantooth] Boogily boogily boogily boogily boogily!

Winter?

Did you hear anything weird?

Just that creepy "Boogily boogily boogily."

That's what I was afraid of.

- Come on. - Right behind you.

You got this.

Mom, you're never gonna believe what happened!

Oh no! Did those darn pranksters get you too?

Well, I didn't suddenly decide to try something new,

I can tell you that!

What monster could've done this?

Well, the only thing we can be sure of is that it wasn't any of us.

Clearly, we're all victims here.

[sighs]

[laughing]

Sorry, suckers!

You come for the Prank Queen,

you better not miss!

Mom, you pranked us?

[laughs] That's right.

I told you to stop your magical prank war,

but you didn't listen.

So you knew the whole time?

Yeah, Milo, my head was a pumpkin,

and then I walked through a door.

It was kind of hard to miss.

I can't believe the only mortal

in the house won the magical prank war.

Yeah, we shaved our heads for nothing.

Well, not for nothing.

The family group chat is gonna blow up over this.

[Mantooth laughing maniacally]

Stop running and let me scare you.

Just leave me alone.

- Justin! - Billie, go back upstairs.

No, stay. So I can haunt you too.

Please, you can't scare me.

Oh. Okay. I guess I'll just leave then.

- That was easy. - Wait for it.

One more thing...

Boogily boogily boogily Boogily boogily, ah!

[Billie yells]

[Justin yells]

Ooh, bonus scare.

Nice!

[laughing maniacally]

You know, nothing makes you feel older

than scaring the kid of the kid you used to scare.

Am I right?

Billie, I'm gonna haunt you forever! [cackles]

Leave her alone!

Oh, look at little Justin Russo

standing up to his big, bad ghost.

Well, let's see how tough you really are.

I've been working on a new scare.

I call it "Change of Pants."

Because that's what you're gonna need.

- Justin... - Look away.

I got this.

Boogily boogily boogily! [growls]

I don't get it! That's the scariest face I ever made.

Old Justin Russo would be changing his pants right now.

That was before you went after Billie.

I don't care how scared I am,

I'm never letting anything happen to my kids.

Suit yourself!

I'll haunt you both.

[screams] Ghoul Boys!

- What are Ghoul Boys? - I think he means us.

I hate Ghoul Boys.

One used to live under my bed when I was a kid.

They're not Ghoul Boys. They're my sons.

Although I'm not totally sure why they look like that.

They definitely weren't bald at breakfast.

It's not so fun being scared, is it?

That's what being scared feels like?

It's awful.

Uh, yeah, that's how you made me feel every night of my childhood.

Wow. No wonder you hated me.

Hate is a strong word.

It's the right word.

It's just strong.

I'm sorry, Justin.

I don't want to make you feel afraid.

- I don't. - Really?

Yeah. I'm not afraid of you anymore.

Even when I do this, boogily boogily...

Ah, let's not push it.

- Friends then? - Let's not push that, either.

I didn't think it was possible to have a weirder Halloween

than last year, but here we are.

Justin, I'm sorry about all this.

If you wouldn't have Halloween Carol-ed me,

I wouldn't have stood up to Mantooth.

It feels good not to be afraid anymore.

But why didn't you just tell me you were afraid of ghosts?

[sighs wearily] Because I'm the adult.

How am I gonna make you feel safe if you think I'm scared?

You always make me feel safe.

You were afraid of Mantooth, but you protected me anyway.

You're the bravest guy I know.

Oh...

You know, with your head shaved, you look just like the rock.

Like Dwayne Johnson?

No, the rock we hide the keys in out front.

[chuckles]

And so we're back to "brenemies," are we?

What exactly happened while we were gone?

I'll tell you what happened.

They pranked around and found out.

Oof. You messed with Giada on Halloween?

Maybe you're the bravest guys I know.

Or the dumbest.

Definitely the baldest.

Welcome! Let me gaze into your future.

You're gonna scream.

[girls scream]

- Boo! - [girls scream]

Boogily boogily boogily!

Really? Nothing?

- Hey, guys. - [girls scream]

That hurts.

Ah, don't forget your candy.

[all] Ooh.

Best haunted house ever.

A great Halloween really is priceless.

Well, actually, according to GhostMates,

a great Halloween costs $257.

[laughing] Oh... Is that how much you paid for those ghosts?

Actually, it's what you paid for those ghosts.

I don't have a credit card. I'm 13.

Happy Halloween.
