[teacher] Miss Ferguson, I know you skipped a grade in math,

and we're all very impressed.

That doesn't mean you can sleep through my class.

I'm okay. I'm good. Really.

Then calculate the volume of that object using the proper formula.

Raaaar!

[Kelly] Tell me the truth.

Am I always gonna be known as the Monster Girl?

Well, I mean, you did tell people that a monster attacked you. So…

Yeah, when I was five.

You ate crayons when we were kids. No one calls you Crayola Mouth.

That's because crayons are delicious.

Let's face it, monsters aren't real.

Oh, my God. Even my best friend thinks I'm crazy.

Yeah. You are crazy. That's why you're my best friend.

-[crash] -[boy] Hey! Give me my wig back!

You know the rules, Jesper.

-There's no costumes allowed. -Hah! Yeah? It's Halloween!

This is unconstitutional.

-Give-- Everyone, listen up! -[feedback squeals]

All right? Big time Halloween party at mine tonight!

Costumes are not only allowed, they're mandatory!

-[cheering] -Okay?

We should totally go to that party.

I don't know. Jesper is a senior. We're only freshmen.

Kelly, it's Halloween. The one night we can be anything we want.

-[crackles] -Ow!

[woman] That's too high.

[crackling]

Hey, honey! What you doin'?

Oh, just… makin' a Halloween costume.

Oh! Uh… For what?

[sizzling]

Um…

Uh-- Halloween party at a friend's house.

And you were planning on going?

Uh, yeah, I am.

[gasps]

[sizzling]

Oh, I--

I may have suggested that you would…

babysit for Ms. Zellman.

-Your boss? -Mm-hm.

-The Ice Queen? -Uh, yes, but don't-- don't call her that.

No, thanks.

Well, my company Halloween party is tonight,

and I overheard Ms. Zellman complaining that she couldn't find a sitter,

so I thought--

Well, I thought you could…

So, you threw my name out there to babysit?

Yes.

-Mom! -Well…

-Dad! Mom sold me out to her boss! -[sighs]

-[Dad] Listen to your mother, Kelly. -[Kelly scoffs]

-Thanks for havin' my back, Dad! -[Dad] No problem, sweetie.

You know, I can barely keep my phone charged,

let alone take care of some kid.

Okay. Kelly, please.

[sighs] Now, if I cancel on Ms. Zellman, she'll be furious.

[whispers] This is the Ice Queen we're talking about.

-But-- -Besides, it's only babysitting,

-and I think it will be… -What--

-…really good for you. Plus… -But--

…you'll make 15 dollars an hour.

You can totally do this, sweetie!

Hm?

Fine.

Thank you. Thank you! You're gonna be great!

[sighs]

[laughing] The Ice Queen?

I-- I-- I mean, your costume is-- it's literally--

Hi, Ms. Zellman.

Kelly. [sighs]

-This way. -[jingling]

I printed up a list of no-no's.

Kelly!

[heels tapping]

"No ice cream, no gluten, no caffeine, no dairy, no peanuts,

no more than 30 minutes of screen time"?

You have a stopwatch on your cell phone, right?

-I… I-- -Because it's Halloween,

Jacob may have three pieces of candy.

-Oh! I've got some-- -No, no, no, no.

Raisins, dried apple chips, or puffed rice cakes.

Also, no running, no shouting,

no discussing global tragedies or current events.

-Got it. -Emergency contact numbers.

Poison control, his doctor, his dentist.

And his sleep time checklist.

Learn it.

It takes three hours just to put him to sleep?

If he goes to sleep at all.

[sighs]

Jacob?

Jacob…

this is your babysitter, Kelly.

[jingling]

Hi, Jacob.

Please don't go, Mommy.

-Halloween's scary. -It'll be okay, honey. I promise.

Your muzzie-wuzzie loves you so much.

-This way, Kelly. -[jingling]

[heels tapping]

Kelly!

[door closes]

I'll be home at midnight. Follow the list.

Lock the doors. And no trick-or-treaters.

None.

And keep Jacob safe.

Midnight. Sharp.

Jacob?

What are you doing?

Hey! Spit that out!

[gasps]

Don't put me to bed! I can't go to sleep.

-Why not? -I have bad nightmares.

Sometimes, at night,

that comes out of my fish tank.

It feels like it's coming to get me, but Mom says it's just a nightmare.

I actually know a lot about nightmares.

-You do? -Yeah.

And I get it.

Sometimes, they feel real.

Like, really real.

But it's just your mind playing tricks on you.

They can't hurt you.

Mine can. I can make monsters.

There's no such thing as monsters.

But there is…

Quackers the Duck!

And his main man, Tedster.

-♪ Doo-doo-doo-doo! ♪ -[cries]

Whoa!

-What happened to Tedster? -I dreamt he was on fire.

And when I woke up, he was.

[Tedster, slowly] I want to hug you.

-I don't like his hugs. -[sighs]

If it makes you feel any better,

when I was a little kid,

I thought my bad dreams could come true too.

What did you do?

I grew up.

Now I'm just scared of real-life stuff,

like climate change, and inequality, and talking to boys,

and, like, everything I read on Twitter. It's really scary.

I'm not helping, am I?

[sighs] All right. Fine.

How about… I check under your bed?

[sighs]

-[screams] -What is it?

Dirty socks!

[sighs]

Not cool.

Ah, classic.

Nothing in here either.

Okay, but don't turn off the lights!

I'm afraid of the dark.

You know what I do when I get scared of the dark?

I make…

these.

These…

This one's especially fun. Look.

[Kelly] Nine-one-one?

Hi. These-- these things just took the kid I was babysitting.

I'm pretty sure they're monsters.

Yes, I am aware it's Halloween night, but this… this is not a joke.

This is serious. These were proper creatures of the night, they-- they--

Hello? Hello?

Who are you?

Liz Lerue. Babysitter. We got a nightmare ping come from here.

-Who are you? -I'm the babysitter.

I'll be the judge of that. [sighs] Where's your charge?

-[baby coos] -My…

The kid. Your child.

The human being you're supposed to be responsible for?

-I don't know! -[baby gurgles]

These things came out from under the bed.

They took him.

Look, I tried calling the police, but they thought it was a prank.

-Hey! You can't go in there! -What'd these things look like?

Um, they were small and fat, with crazy teeth and weird hair.

-How many? -Um… three.

-[grunts] God! -Height? Weight? Speech patterns?

What were they wearing? Did they have eyes?

Um, they were two to three feet high. Uh, claws.

They had weird mouths and two eyes, lopsided.

This way!

They looked like this!

Toadies.

What's a "Toadie"? Also, whose baby is that?

Is it yours? I'm not judging if it is.

This is Carmella.

-Carmella, say hi. Don't be shy. -[gurgles]

I'm babysitting her because that's what actual babysitters do.

We watch and protect our kids.

Now, stand over there and play the quiet game.

[whirring]

[Kelly] Ow!

"The time of nightmares has begun"?

Which way'd they go?

[whirring]

Twelve degrees north-east.

[Liz] You're like a calculator. What time are the parents home?

[Kelly] Midnight. His mom is very intense. She would never be late.

[Liz] Okay. Stay here,

chew your hair, find out what you'd look like with dog ears, I don't care.

But if the mom calls, you act like everything's cool.

-Got it? -[Carmella babbles]

Good.

[footsteps getting fainter]

[panting]

Excuse you! I'm coming with you.

No. You will just get in my way.

Or you'll get possessed, hypnotized, cursed, boiled,

or turned into a three-headed dog of darkness.

For real?

Wait, did you even see this?

-[whirring] -[Kelly] These burn marks.

They come from out of Jacob's window, run down here, and then they just vanish.

And those tracks.

They don't match the claws that those trollies had--

[Liz] Toadies.

Toadies had.

And they have an entirely different pattern and diameter,

which means a completely different thing was here.

-[closes zip] -[sighs]

Okay, CSI: Rhode Island.

-Your funeral. -Ow.

"Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting"?

[Liz] It's a collection of thousands of years' worth

of monster hunting wisdom passed down through the ages.

Memorize the guide, stay alive.

So I'm not crazy.

[Liz] Found it.

-I mean, can you believe this? -[babbling]

Uh, the Toadies dug their tunnel right at the end of the slide,

so when a kid comes shooting down…

Whoosh! Right into their trap.

-[Carmella cooing] -[Kelly] This is insane.

What should I do?

-Maybe take off her jacket? -Okay.

[Liz] All right, come on.

"Beware. Toadies love the smell of newborns.

They cannot resist a taste."

One of 'em pops out looking for a snack, boom, got 'em.

You're using the baby as bait? No!

Listen, this is the only thing that will get them up to the surface.

Oh! You mean-- No. Yeah. Um-- Everything's fine.

Jacob and I are having so much fun.

-[Toadie gurgling] -What's that noise?

Uh… It's… it's a movie.

That sounds like a scary movie. Check the list, Kelly. No scary movies.

No, no, no, no, no! It's-- it's a fun movie.

-It's about unicorns and rainbows and… -[Toadie chattering and growling]

[running footsteps]

-[Liz yells] -[roars]

What was that?

-[Kelly] Um… -[chittering]

-A… unicorn fell off a… a rainbow. -[Toadie squealing]

[Kelly] But it was saved by a cloud. We're all good here.

Let me speak to Jacob. Now!

Um, no, he's sleeping.

You said you were watching a movie.

-[chittering] -[Liz] Oh, no you're not! No!

No, he just-- he just fell asleep like that.

He did?

[laughs] Oh. That's a first.

Tonight is a night of firsts.

Welcome to the Rhode Island chapter of the Order of the Babysitters.

We're part of a super secret organization with chapters all around the world.

The Greek goddess, Artemis,

Cleopatra, Merlin, Rosa Parks, all babysitters.

[Kelly] Whoa.

Archimedes, Frida Kahlo,

Florence Nightingale,

Maria Tallchief, Noor Inayat Khan.

[Liz] Yeah. We've been around for thousands of years.

Tell anyone about our location,

and I'll feed you to our resident hobgoblin.

Listen up, SITs. Our mission is Jacob Zellman.

Five years old, possibly with the Gift of Dreams.

We have three hours and five minutes until his mom gets back

and finds her little bundle of joy missing.

[whirring]

Nothing new from the surveillance cameras.

Hey, Berna, will you start the laser scan?

-On it. -[bleep]

[whirring]

[girl] All right. Let's take a look in this Toadie's pouch.

What the heck? Is that half a duck?

[Kelly] It's a goose lamp.

-How big are their pouches? -Who's the human?

This is Kelly.

[girl] And why exactly is she here?

She was with the kid when he got taken.

-We need to pick her brain. -But--

Just search the thing for clues.

Rude. It's not a "thing."

It's a Monstria Chordata Amphibia Carnivora of the Toadie subspecies.

-[sighs] Remove her. -Cassie, this isn't your call.

You're just a Sitter in Training.

I mean, see this? And this?

And this?

Chapter Vice President. Okay?

It's gonna take me hours to remove the items from its pouch.

Better get to it, then.

-I'm so sorry. So sorry. -[Liz] Follow me.

Hey. So, this Jacob kid really has the Gift of Dreams?

I--

I just told her what Jacob told me.

I don't even really know what the Gift of Dreams is.

It's-- it's legendary.

A young kid who is supposed to be able to bring dreams to life.

Or nightmares.

The Order was founded to protect kids like that.

I could tell you a bit more over a cup of coffee, maybe?

Pump the brakes, Casanova.

Can you make one of your memory potions?

Uh… Yeah. I, uh… I have a passion for potions.

-[Kelly] What is that? -It's Minotaur Memory Dust.

Three parts beetle root, one part gnome guano.

Yet, I have not tested this batch out yet, so I hope I don't fry her brain.

Fry my brain…

[boy] He's the Stealer of Dreams, the Bringer of Nightmares.

Legend has it he's collecting bad dreams from kids

to build a nightmare army.

That's him.

[Liz] What do you mean?

That's the monster who tried to take me when I was a little girl!

No. No way.

Liz, those prints I found. They were tail marks, just like this.

I think he's what took Jacob.

This can't be happening. Not again.

-A-Are you okay? -Well, you see, her--

[Berna] It's not our story to tell, Curtis.

"The Grand Guignol travels in the Nightmare Realm.

The Boogeypeople are almost impossible to locate when they are in there."

Boogeypeople?

Seven, actually.

They're like a monster mafia.

My whole life, my whole life I was told this wasn't real.

That it didn't happen. But now…

-But now… -This is why we don't let normies in here.

Each of us has been through a monster attack.

This is from a Class Two Oozer.

[Curtis] Yeah, I've got one of those, too.

Fire-spitting Grunk.

-[Curtis] I was impaled by a Brush troll. -[Berna] This is from a vampire rabbit.

-[Cassie] Krampus. -[Berna] Thunderbird.

-[Curtis] Baba Yaga. -[Cassie] Bunnicula. Paper cut.

-[Curtis] I got this from a Cloud Serpent. -No one wants to see that, Curtis.

That's why we're here.

To make sure what happened to us never happens to another kid.

-[straightens jacket] -[sighs]

So how do we take down the Grand Guignol?

We don't.

Well, there is a way.

It's a combination between…

Angel Fire and Monster Punch.

Yet the ingredients are crazy combustible.

We're talking, uh, uh… cobalt from Athena's tomb,

um… Chupacabra venom--

-None of which we have. -Don't worry.

-I have my sources. -[Kelly] And the Monster Punch?

That's the only way to drive the Angel Fire

into the Boogeyman's heart.

It's crazy hard to execute, even if you could get near him.

It's never been done.

There's a solution to every problem.

[Liz] All right. Let's put that to the test.

Curtis, gather the essentials.

Yes! Time to geek out. Follow me!

Come on!

[bleeping]

[whirring]

-[Curtis] Check this out. -[bell dings]

[Kelly] A jump rope?

[Curtis] No, it's not actually a jump rope.

It's a net made from powerful Stiltskin Thread.

Pull the handle and… pshoom! [chuckles]

[bell dings]

This is the Mist of Hypnos.

One spray can knock a lesser monster out cold.

[Cassie] Stop trying to impress her.

I am not!

[bell dings]

And this…

is the Booyah Bear.

Yank the ear and throw. Go ahead.

Check it out.

[ticking]

-[ticking speeds up] -It's-- it's not working.

-Throw it, Kelly! -Okay!

Booyah!

[Curtis laughs]

Smoke diversion!

-[Liz] Don't waste the weapons, Curtis. -[Curtis sighs]

Let's go.

-Back to work, SITs. -Wait, Kelly.

One more thing.

The Cairo chapter found this in a tomb in Egypt.

We haven't figured out all it can do, but we know it can break any hex or spell.

Here, take it. It might come in handy.

-[Liz] Kelly? -Thanks.

If you're insisting on coming, you can feed the Toadie.

-Wait, wait, wait. I don't know how to-- -[Liz] Open it.

[snarling]

Hm. [belches loudly]

[chatters and growls]

[Kelly] It's getting away!

-No, it's not. -[pulsing whir]

Did you put a tracker in the trash?

Sure did. And now he'll scramble back to the Grand Guignol.

Finally, we can locate a Boogeyman.

You wanted it to jump out at me.

You knew it would escape?

We are trying to rescue Jacob, Kelly.

Let's get monster-hunting.

[Kelly] So, what do I need to know about this Cat Lady?

[Liz] She's an ex silent movie star turned class five witch.

Last year, she and the Grand Guignol teamed up

and almost destroyed the whole babysitter chapter in Nepal.

And she once fed an entire Girl Scout troop to her cats.

Here's the thing. I… I'm kind of allergic to cats.

[Kelly] You're what?

[Liz] It's fine. It's the only way we're gonna get back Kevin.

[Kelly] You mean Jacob. Who's Kevin?

-Never mind. -Liz.

[cat yowls]

Tell me.

He's my brother.

The Grand Guignol took your brother?

I was six, Kevin was five.

It was midnight.

There was a scratch at the window.

I thought it was a tree branch or the wind.

I jumped out of bed, drew back the curtains…

and that's when I saw him.

He sang us a song, and I fell under a spell.

When I came to, Kevin was gone.

I never saw my brother again.

I've been looking for him my whole life.

I mean, that's the reason I became a babysitter.

Liz, I…

-I'm so sorry. -Well, don't be.

-It-- it wasn't your fault. -No one believes that.

Not even me.

-[cat yowls] -[scoffs]

You have no idea what it's like.

To feel helpless? Out of control?

Like nobody believes you but there's nothing you can do?

He came for me when I was a little kid, and no one even listened.

But you know what changed things?

What?

Tonight.

You.

You did.

Okay.

Then let's do this.

We get in.

You distract Peggy.

I spray her. We grab the amulet. We split.

-Easy-peasy. -[chuckles]

don't let him touch your hand.

Why? What happens if he touches my hand, Cassie?

-What happens if he touches my hand? -Just do it!

Yeah!

That is what happens when you break into HQ and mess with my friends.

We caught it! No one's ever caught a Shadow Monster before.

Yeah, we're legends!

[hissing]

-[rattling] -Uh…

[hissing]

[purring]

It's actually kinda cute. Can we keep him?

[screeches]

I don't wanna keep him. I don't wanna…

[burbling]

♪ Dah! Dah! ♪

[humming happily]

[laughs]

[Grand Guignol] Oh, Liz!

Where are you, darling?

I need you to deliver a message to my sister.

He still thinks you're under his spell.

[Grand Guignol] Have you met my sister, Serena, The Spider Queen?

She thinks she's so cool and so evil,

just because she's the Queen of the Boogeypeople

and I'm the baby brother. [scoffs]

Just a stupid little dreamer, am I, sis?

Just you wait.

Little brother will be in charge, with my army of nightmares

waiting to rip humanity to shreds!

Hah!

How long have you been standing there?

Ah, whatever. Did you lock your little friend up?

-Yes, Grand Guignol. -[Grand Guignol] Marvelous.

We'll make a fine monster-sitter out of you yet, Liz.

After tonight, we'll be monstrously busy. Get it?

Grand Guignol, there's a problem with the back tank.

If one of the Toadies has fallen in again, I'm leaving them there. Come!

Aah! Yes, yes, yes!

[sighs] Good boy, Jacob. Good boy!

Now…

Aah!

What are you talking about? It's working perfectly.

-My mistake, Grand Guignol. -Yes, it was, you stupid child.

[sniffs]

[sighs]

Come down here, Kelly.

The stench of your fear gave you away.

Did you really think you could sneak up on me?

Sneak up on the Boogeyman?

[chuckles] I invented the sneak.

By the Order of the Babysitters, I demand you give us Jacob.

By the Order of the Boogeyman, you're a blithering idiot.

You're no hero.

You're just a weak, small,

pathetic, insignificant little girl.

-[Liz] Give him back! -[Kelly] No!

Oh! Nice try.

Berna, 70 degrees, 38 feet per second.

Just lob it!

Yeah. Nice arm, loser.

Who do you think you're dealing with?

I'm not the Tooth Fairy.

I'm the Grand Guignol.

Master of Menace, Sultan of Suffering,

King of the Monsters.

And you're babysitters. I almost feel sorry for you.

-[monsters screeching] -Toadies. Open the chambers.

Release our new friends upon the world!

Now!

Jimmy!

[groaning and gasping]

-[grunts] -[Grand Guignol] Roscoe!

[yells]

-Toadies? -[splash]

Oh, for-- [sighs]

We've rehearsed this for six months!

-[slurping] -[Grand Guignol] Snaggle!

[panting]

[snuffling]

[Kelly] Try this.

-[grunting] -[Grand Guignol] Come here.

[opera singer singing in German]

-[farting] -[groans]

[Grand Guignol] No, not-- [groans]

-Please, not Snaggle. -[dramatic aria continues]

[sings]

[gasps]

[wails]

[opera singer hits high note]

[groaning]

[Grand Guignol] Ugh! Never mind.

Bare your teeth, my beautiful nightmares.

Finally, our time has come.

Tonight is our night.

[monsters roaring]

Girls, what are you--

Ugh.

[thumping]

[whispering]

[thumping and growling]

[Grand Guignol] Playtime is over.

Babysitters.

[scoffs] You didn't really think you had a chance to defeat me, did you?

Let's do this.

[yells]

It's the Monster Punch.

[coughing]

Is that the best you've got? [laughs]

Barely scratched me.

That's your weakness, isn't it?

Your sad, small, cruel,

insignificant little heart.

[Grand Guignol laughs] A heart?

[laughing]

[coughing and wheezing]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

You're a loser, Kelly!

Call me Monster Girl.

[gasps]

Where-- where is he?

It's okay, Jacob. He's gone. You're safe! Okay?

-No! No! -Hey, what's wrong?

Wait. Why are the nightmares still here?

It's okay.

You don't need to be afraid anymore.

Hey, listen.

Tell 'em to take a hike, kid.

[whimpers]

[Jacob] I'm not scared of you.

-Now, go away. -[growling]

You're stronger than they are.

You've got this.

-I said go away! -[monsters cackling]

I'm not scared of you anymore.

[yells] Now, go away!

[lights clanking]

Can we go home now?

Your mom!

[Ms. Zellman] Kelly, this is the sixth message I've left you.

Call me back right now!

♪ You got me going on the brink ♪

It's okay, Kelly. You don't have to check under the bed.

I think I'll have good dreams from now on.

I think you will too, bud.

[car approaching]

[brakes squeal]

-[car door opens and closes] -Look…

you're not gonna tell your mom what happened tonight, right?

That depends.

-[front door opens] -Will you babysit me again?

[chuckles] Definitely.

[Ms. Zellman] Jacob! Jacob! Are you okay? Where are you?

-Is everything okay? He-- -Shhh!

Oh!

He's okay, you see?

Oh, I-- [laughs]

I can't believe you got him to fall asleep. You're a lifesaver.

Listen, if you're not busy tomorrow night…

I'll be here.

Thank you.

you should at least be allowed to apply to the Order.
