The Haunted House Scream Street

# He was a kid who didn't fit in

# He got a wolf living inside under his skin

# When he's angry His body sprouts hair

# So he's got to take to, you'll never guess where

# Scream, scream, scream

# When you get to Scream Street

# Scream, scream, scream

# When you get to Scream Street

# Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha

# Next door's a vampire, maybe not

-# 4,000 years old but her body won't rot

-Yeah!

# Being a freak is totally normal

# When everyone's freaky, paranormal

# Scream, scream, scream

# When you get to Scream Street

# Scream, scream, scream

# When you get to Scream Street

# Scream Street, Scream Street

# Ha-ha, ha-ha. #

Mm, delicious.

Mum, Dad, they put up another house in the woods.

-It must be new arrivals. Can I go and say hello?

-Of course.

-We should all go.

-No, no, no.

I have no desire whatsoever to find out what manner of monster

has moved in down the road.

I'm about to tuck in to a nice, ordinary Sunday lunch.

Please let me just enjoy it.

Looks like the chicken's off.

Oh, no!

Bleurgh!

DOG BARKS

Just looks like a normal old haunted house.

What do you think lives here?

It's not fancy enough to be vampires.

Not gross enough to be bogeymen

and not stinky enough to be werewolves.

-Oi!

-Do you think they have kids?

There's only one way to find out.

Oh, do we have to?

OK. Nobody in. Let's go home.

Oh, come on, Resus. The door's open. We may as well go in.

Where's your sense of adventure?

It went on an adventure and died, horribly,

like we almost did the last time you said, "Ooh, the door's open.

"We may as well go in."

Anyway, we can't just walk into someone's house.

-Hello?

-Oh.

Don't be such a wuss.

It's all right for you, Little Miss "I'll be fine,

"my internal organs are safe in a fridge."

OMINOUS RUMBLE

Ooh!

DOG BARKS

Dig! Ha-ha.

Hello?

Hello? I don't think anyone's in.

We should have a nose around just to make sure.

-Good idea.

-Bad idea.

So obviously a bad idea.

DOOR CREAKS

It could be an invisible family, or poltergeists.

DOG SNIFFS

Whoever it is, they've got a thing for houses.

I'll have a proper listen.

CLEO AND RESUS LAUGH

DIG BARKS

Very funny.

OK, OK. Quiet, everyone.

-No, nothing.

-Nobody at home.

-OK, let's go.

-Oh, I'm way ahead of you, Cleo.

-Uh?

-That's weird.

This isn't the room we came in through.

Well, that was definitely the door we went through. Oh!

You see? This is exactly why you don't walk into houses

of people you don't know.

DIG SNIFFS AND BARKS

I don't know who's in there and I do not want to find out.

Ah! OK. Ow.

Stand aside.

OK. Ow.

Guys, we've got company.

DIG BARKS

LIFT BELL RINGS

Oh, we're sorry. We shouldn't have come in. We won't to do it again.

Oh, it's empty. Phew.

What?

I was lulling them into a false sense of security.

-Standard.

-Come on.

There's no other way out.

I don't know what the Scream Street record for bad ideas in one day is

but you must be getting pretty close.

Come on.

DIG SNIFFS AND BARKS

Ha! No chance.

Oh! It touched me. It touched me.

Wah!

Admit it, you want to know which monster lives in this house

just as much as I do.

I hope it's something new and exciting.

That collects old pictures of houses? Doesn't seem likely.

I just hope it is a vegetarian.

LIFT BELL RINGS

ALL: Oh!

Well, we're not the first people to come down here.

These walls are kind of slimy.

They're squidgy and warm.

Ew. Er, guys.

Feel this pipe.

Now, is it just me or does that feel a lot like a pulse?

Oh, no. No, no, no. Please don't say it.

-The house is alive.

-There it is.

She said it.

The reason there are no monsters in the house

is because the house is the monster.

And the house pictures, they are family portraits.

We need to get out of here now.

This way.

"Now I look back at it, Cleo, I wish I'd listened to Resus."

"Yes, Luke. Then we wouldn't have ended up dead." Ooh!

The first gargoyle to suffer from a fear of heights.

And reports just in of a monster

that has escaped from the Underlands.

It is highly dangerous.

'Members of the public are advised not to approach...'

-Has Luke gone over already?

-Yes. He's gone ahead with his pals.

Well, say what you like about Scream Street,

but at least Luke has made some proper friends.

It's nice to see them getting on so well.

Just because a door is open, doesn't mean you have to go in.

You didn't have to come along. DIG BARKS

Oh, I knew your stupid curiosity would get us killed.

When you two have quite finished,

Dig has found something.

-Oh, that is rank.

-Oh, it smells like something died in there.

Which it most probably has. Gee, thanks again for bringing me here.

-Ha. I appreciate it.

-It's fine.

Some of my oldest friends are rotting corpses.

Any case, it could be our only way out.

Can you see anything?

Not much, thankfully.

Oh. Hold on.

There's something at the bottom. It's another hatch.

See if you can open it.

I'm through.

What can you see down there?

-A couple of clowns.

-Ah!

Oh, I don't want to get any of that stuff on me. It reeks.

-Oi!

-Today can't get much worse.

ALARM BLARES

It just got worse.

It's some sort of acid.

So, I guess a living house has to have a stomach.

Oh, fantastic.

Now we are dinner. Perfect.

"Welcome to Scream Street."

And they are totally welcome to it.

-Any sign of Luke?

-No.

What I wouldn't give to be Luke's age again.

Mucking around with your mates, not a care in the world.

It's all my fault.

I got you both into this and I'll get you out.

What?

It's no good. I can't do anything.

No, you did.

When you smashed the walls, the lift started to come down again.

We need to cause this house as much stomach pain as possible

and quickly.

-Luke, you need to step in the acid.

-But...

You can get us out of this,

but not as you.

-We need the wolf.

-No.

-I can't control it. You won't be safe.

-We're not safe anyway.

It's our only chance.

No way.

Sorry, mate.

Ow!

LUKE GROWLS

Ready, Cleo?

I've been ready for centuries.

LUKE GROWLS

Run!

LUKE GROWLS

Ole, wolfy boy.

-IN SPANISH ACCENT:

-Resus is ready for you.

LUKE GROWLS

Over here, furry pants.

LUKE GROWLS

LIFT BELL RINGS

Just to say, if anything weird happens, I am so out of here.

Oh, good grief!

LUKE GROWLS

Ah.

Well, I think that's probably enough surprises for one day.

So, anybody want some cake?

Cheesecake, is it?

THEY ALL LAUGH
