(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

All right, boys. Seven months of hard work on our birthday gift

has really paid off!

Mina's going to love it!

Let's gently wake her up.

-(ALARM CLOCK BEEPING) -Oh, my gosh! Today's the day!

My thirteenth birthday!

-MINA'S DAD: Ahhh! -(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

Ooh! And it sounds like Dad is setting up for the party!

Oh, I hope it's the Escape From Horror Ville

birthday experience!

I've wanted to this all year.

Come on, Bunnicula! Let's check it out!

Birthday! Birthday! Birthday! Birth... Day.

There she is!

The birthday girl!

Look at what your old man put together.

It's the pony princess party you always dreamed of!

(NEIGHING)

Yeah, when I was three.

Here! Try on this princess dress and crown.

Oh, no, I don't think...

I found it in the garbage, of all places!

(CRYING) You used to wear this every day.

My princess Mina.

They grow up so fast!

You, uh, really outdid yourself this time, Dad.

Keep up the good work. (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

Ugh, Dad! I'm not a kid anymore.

-I'm way too big for this. -(DRESS RIPPING)

Yeah, definitely too big for this.

(SIGHING) Oh, Bunnicula.

I'm not into princesses and unicorns anymore.

I'm into horror movies and art!

(GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION)

Why can't Dad see that?

Oh, no! Could it be? My baby girl isn't a baby anymore.

My baby.

The doctor says, I should let my hair down,

and that parties are nothing to be afraid of.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

-Ahhh! -(MEOWS)

I will fix this, Mina!

-Ahhh! -Yeah! Party down, Mr. Mina's dad.

MINA'S DAD: Ahhh!

Polidori, Polidori!

I need a gift for my daughter, quick!

Wait a minute! What's that?

Huh? Strange.

I've never seen that painting before.

It has horror and it's art!

Mina said, she loves those things!

I'll take it!

All right, I'm off to win the love of my daughter!

Hazaa!

You're a good horsey.

You want a carrot?

-(NEIGHING) -(SHUDDERING)

(GROWLS, CRUNCHING)

Ooh! Eee!

(BUNNICULA LAUGHING)

Great party, Mina.

MINA'S DAD: Oh, Mina!

Your old man really pulled through this time.

(GIGGLING)

Ugh. What is it, Dad?

You didn't hire a clown, did you?

(LAUGHING)

Stand down, Bobo. Stand down!

Now, Mina, I know you think I'm a little out of touch.

But I know my little girl is a fan of horror

and art!

So right here,

in front of all your friends and that boy you like,

I'd like to present you with this!

Eh? Eh?

So what is it? Some kind of 3D TV?

Cool!

What happens when I swipe it?

Whoa! The TV threw up on me! (CHUCKLES)

I can't look up what it is on my phone.

There's no Wi-Fi!

What do we do?

Way to go, Arthur.

(NEIGHING)

-(PONY CRASHING) -(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

-(CRASHING CONTINUES) -(PONY NEIGHING)

Oh, Dad, I know you tried.

-Thank you. -(SIGHS)

Now, see here, children. This is a painting.

You are supposed to observe and appreciate it.

And I'm sure, whoever painted it

went through a lot of trouble,

because he knew that his daughter

(SOBBING) loved horror

and art.

Uh, Dad? Your tears opened a door.

It looks dangerous.

Let's go in!

Huh?

(DOOR OPENING)

Hay, all you awkward wallflowers.

Chester's in the house!

Huh?

Wait a minute, where did everybody go?

Huh? What happened?

Whoa!

What did you do now, Arthur?

I know what you did!

What? Mina, I can explain.

You got me the Escape from Horror Ville birthday experience!

I... What now?

Oh, thank you, Dad!

Oh, I'm so confused. What's going on?

Silence! Silence!

(HEAVY PANTING)

(GRUNTS, THUDS)

Greetings!

Welcome to my bizarre world.

Bobo, you've changed costumes!

Ugh. I'm not Bobo!

I am Miserio. Miserio The Darned.

Where are we?

Allow me to explain, Fraulein.

Your tears of sadness opened up a portal to my world.

And now, you're trapped here, forever!

So please, make yourselves...

ALL: Oh!

...uncomfortable.

So, he's not a clown?

Shh! Guys, this is all part of the show. Right, Dad?

Uh, right!

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

They look like they're in agony.

We need to get them out of there.

According to this website,

this is the Cursed Painting of Miserio.

But it's not a painting, it's a portal.

They're trapped in some kind of alternate dimension.

And if we don't rescue them by midnight tonight,

they'll be trapped inside!

-Forever! -(GASPS)

(CLOCK TICKING)

Mina!

Good idea, Bunnicula.

Maybe all it needs are a couple of bats,

and they'll pop out.

Mina!

A couple of bats, eh?

-(GRUNTING) -No, wait! Harold!

-Take it! -That's not what we meant!

(LOUD THUMPING)

(GASPS) What was that?

Silence!

I shall now begin my tale of exceptional woe.

In the past, I used to love feeding off the misery

-my art gave others. -(BABY CRYING)

But no one in my world understood me.

So I decided to retreat into my own world.

Into my canvas.

And here, I can alter the world to be as miserable as I like...

With my magic paintbrush!

MINA: Enough with the origin story.

How about some music to accompany our, um, misery?

What? Music?

(SIGHS) Very well.

I shall procure some deliciously miserable music.

Hold on to your strudel!

(ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

-Whoa! -Pretty fresh jams for a goth clown.

Uh, yeah?

I mean, yeah!

This is my most horrible music.

Why are the children not miserable?

(GASPS) Perhaps, if I disorient them.

ALL: Whoo-hoo!

Nein! Nothing is working!

-(CLOCK TICKING) -Nothing's working, you guys!

I'm going in!

(GRUNTS)

Uh, I can't see or breathe.

Harold! (STRAINED GRUNTING)

All right, that's it!

Time to get this party really started!

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(LOUD THUMPING)

Oh my gosh, Marsha, you're finally letting your hair down!

BOTH: Whoo-hoo!

(GASPS)

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

(CHIMES)

Mina!

Ah!

Strange, someone's sadness has opened the portal.

(SHRIEKS)

We made it! We escaped Horror Ville!

Oh, wha...

What happened to my house?

It's ruined!

(HAROLD WHINING)

What a disaster!

Silence! It's beautiful.

-MINA: Miserio! -Who, what, hmm?

That was the best Escape From Horror Ville

-birthday experience ever! -What?

Huh?

Yeah, it's pretty fun and amazing.

I learned about paintings.

I learned to let my hair down and have fun!

See? We all learned a lesson. I learned to reconnect

with my daughter through weird art and horrible music.

Well, that settles it.

I am a genius!

I must share my art with the world!

(NEIGHS)

-Oh, Dad, thank you! -Huh?

That was the best party ever!

You had this Escape From Horror Ville party planned all along, didn't you?

What? Anything for my princess!

I mean, my grown-up lady.

Dad, I know I'm growing up...

But I'll always be your princess.

Well, happy third...

I mean, thirteenth birthday, Princess Mina.

Hey, everybody, let's all go to the library and learn about paintings!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, wait for us!

MARSHA: Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Uh, hello? (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

Am I still getting paid?

Do the children still need laughter?

Uh, hello?

Whoa!

Classic Bobo!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Every time with him!
