[Gentle instrumental music]
ANNOUNCER: Good morning. Welcome to another broadcast day at WBOR...
the easy-viewing, easy-listening station.
We begin our broadcast with The Binky the Clown Show.
Have a nice day.
Hey, kids!
What?
Get your lazy bottoms out of bed...
and do jumping jacks with Binky the Clown.
One, two.
What am I doing?
Remember, kids, if you don't exercise with Binky...
you're going to grow up to be worthless.
I hate you, Binky.
Where's my remote control?
Put it in gear, you losers.
You don't want to be lazy, do you?
You got to get into good shape for tonight, kids...
because this is the night you can get a lot of candy.
Take that, Binky.
[Laughs triumphantly]
Wait a minute.
Did he say we could get a lot of candy tonight?
Binky, come back. Where are you, Binky old buddy?
That's right, kids.
Tonight is Halloween night, and we want to be in great shape...
to trick-or-treat for all that candy, don't we?
Yes, we do!
[Cheerful music]
This is the night
I was created for
I'm gonna put on my best disguise
And go knocking on everybody's door
This is the night
I'm gonna hit the streets
'Cause this is the night
Folks are giving away so many good things to eat
Oh, people, you know life could be so sweet
If every night was a night to go trick-or-treat
Trick-or-treat
- Wouldn't it be sweet? - Trick-or-treat
- Just to trick-or-treat - Trick-or-treat
- Wouldn't it be sweet? - Trick-or-treat
Just to trick-or-treat
Halloween's my kind of a holiday.
It's not like those other stupid holidays.
I don't get pine needles in my paws...
there's no dumb bunnies, no fireworks, no relatives.
Just candy.
Boom, you go out, you get candy. It's as simple as that.
Simple, that's me.
GARFIELD: Candy, candy...
Hello, Halloween.
What a glorious day, and a glorious night to go trick-or-treating...
for candy, candy...
Steady yourself, Garfield.
First you gotta get a costume, then you gotta get a sack.
A sack to hold all of that candy... Easy, boy.
First you gotta get up.
[Comical instrumental music]
GARFIELD: Boo!
Gotcha!
JON: That's not funny, Garfield.
Then how about this?
[Jon laughing]
JON: Now, that's funny.
[Jon sighing]
Why can't I stay angry with you, Garfield?
Because I'm a cat.
JON: What's with the blanket? Are you practicing for Halloween?
Practicing?
I'll have you know Halloween is my middle name.
Gar-Halloween-field.
Oh, well.
JON: You're probably wondering what I'm doing with this pumpkin on my head.
[Exclaiming]
There's a pumpkin on your head. I hadn't noticed.
JON: I was carving a jack-o'-lantern until you arrived.
JON: What do you think? GARFIELD: It's you.
Well, this one's ruined.
This stuff appears to be of the lasagna persuasion.
Since when did you like pumpkin innards?
Since never.
[Bowl smashing]
How about some breakfast?
No, thank you. I must save room for all that candy.
Candy, candy...
Maybe I'll have a sweet roll to tide me over.
[Comical instrumental music]
Perhaps some bacon and a croissant.
[Comical instrumental music]
What the heck.
[Comical instrumental music]
[Ominous instrumental music]
GARFIELD: Boo!
Got you, didn't I?
[Garfield screams]
I knew it was you all the time, Odie.
It's not nice to scare people, you know.
[Odie panting]
Grim.
Odie's so stupid, he'd have to stand on a chair to raise his IQ.
[Drums beating]
He's ugly, too.
It would take two of him to get any uglier.
[Drums beating]
He's so ugly...
he wouldn't have to wear a mask to go trick-or-treating on Halloween.
[Drums beating]
Wait a minute. That's it.
If I take Odie trick-or-treating with me tonight...
there'll be two sacks to fill, not one.
I'll get twice the candy. Candy, candy...
Garfield, you are a genius.
I know that.
Odie, old boy, do you know what Halloween night is?
Take that stupid pumpkin off your head and I'll tell you.
Better.
That's a night when dogs have to help cats go out and get candy.
That's right. And if a dog does a good job...
he gets a whole piece of candy of his very own.
Do you wanna go, boy?
[Barking excitedly]
Wanna go out and get candy?
Do you wanna go?
Okay. Let's go to the attic and find some costumes for tonight.
Just between you and me, there are times when I love that dog.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
There should be some great Halloween costumes up here somewhere.
Jon has never thrown anything away.
[Coughing]
Here's Jon's first bow tie. Tacky.
Some sunglasses, Cousin Wanda's wig, Aunt Orpha's false teeth...
Roy Ogle's root, string, sealing wax, and all that funny stuff.
I guess there's nothing here.
Very funny, Odie. Come on. Let's keep looking.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
Eureka! The mother lode.
Look at all this great stuff, Odie.
With these costumes, we can be anything we want.
[Singing] What should I be?
There's so many sides to me
I could be handsome or brave
A king or a slave
It's all up to me
So what should I be? What could I be?
What should I be?
I could be a scary vampire
And turn myself into a bat Flap, flap
Or I could put on some black pajamas
Go as a big, fat Halloween cat
What should I be?
There's so many sides to me
I could be an astronaut, a robot a hobo, a clown
Or an alien creature going out on the town
What should I be?
It's all up to me
What should I be?
I think I have just the costumes for us, Odie.
[Lively instrumental music]
[Growling]
It do be a landlubber who be shoving lasagna in his face.
I declare this booty property of the Queen.
JON: Hey!
Who do you think you are?
I be Orange Beard, the pirate captain...
and this be me first mate, Odie the Stupid.
[Growls]
You be having a mite too many peg legs there, matey.
You guys look ridiculous.
I've killed men for saying less than that, but I'll let you live...
seeing as how you're the only man who'll change me kitty litter.
I suppose you boys are dressed up to go out trick-or-treating?
We don't be the welcome wagon, if that's what you mean.
Well, here's a couple of sacks. Have a good time.
Looting always be a good time.
Come along, matey, we got a village to pillage.
Don't be out too late.
[Lively instrumental music continues]
[Singing] Sixty men, all lost at sea All of them drunk, except for me
'Twas I who had to face the storm With nothing in sight to keep me warm
Yo ho ho ho!
Over the raging sea we go
Yo ho ho ho!
Wherever the four winds blow
[Lively instrumental music]
Will you stop crowding me? There's nothing to be frightened of.
These are kids who are out trick-or-treating for candy...
just like us. Look.
See? A kid.
KID: Ow!
See?
I'm no scaredy-cat.
[Jazzy music]
I may be lazy, I may be fat
I don't do laps, and I do not chat
I may be selfish Yeah, and all of that
But the one thing I'm not is a scaredy-cat
The one thing he's not is a scaredy-cat
I may be bossy, I may lack grace
I don't do sit-ups to trim my waist
I may be thoughtless Yeah, and all of that
But the one thing I'm not is a scaredy-cat
The one thing he's not is a scaredy-cat
I don't have charm, or much pizzazz
I don't chase mice and all that jazz
I may be sassy Yes, and all of that
But the one thing I'm not Yeah, the one thing I'm not
I said, the one thing I'm not is a scaredy
The one thing he's not is a scaredy-cat
[Ominous instrumental music]
Observe carefully, Odie.
I'll teach you some of the finer points of trick-or-treating.
Give me.
WOMAN: How cute. Here you go, kids.
Methinks you be a mite stingy with your candy, miss.
If you don't reconsider your contribution...
I'll give your living room drapes a taste of me broadsword.
Thank you. A thousand blessings upon your home, ma'am.
[Comical instrumental music]
Well, Odie, we've had a pretty successful evening.
Hang on, Odie. I just had a brilliant idea.
Look at all those houses across the river over there.
If we can make it across the river...
the candy is all mine, do you hear me? All mine!
Wait a minute. Am I being too greedy?
Should I share my candy with those less fortunate than me?
Am I missing the spirit of Halloween?
Nah. All mine. Mine, I tell you.
[Lively instrumental music]
What have we here?
Why, it do be a pirate ship for us to get across the river.
I commandeer this ship in the name of Orange Beard the pirate.
Free the moorings and shove off, matey.
[Growling]
[Comical instrumental music]
It appears we are caught up in the current, matey.
Put out the oars.
[Tense instrumental music]
I'd make him walk the plank if I had one.
We be at the mercy of the sea, matey.
Topside, batten the hatches.
Trim the main. Slip the sheets. Flibber the gibbets.
I want my mommy!
[Somber instrumental music]
Some pirate captain I am.
I can't even get a rowboat across a river.
Now I'll probably float out to sea and never be heard from again.
If I ever get back to land I'm going to give up this pirate business.
I'm going to stop pretending I'm something I'm not.
I'm just going to be me. Garfield the housecat.
Gourmet. Bon vivant.
World traveler. Jet-setting playboy.
Leave me alone, Odie. I'm busy wallowing in self-pity.
[Lively instrumental music]
And shiver me timbers. It be land ho!
[Spooky instrumental music]
[Thunder clapping]
Nice touch.
Look, Odie. There's a light in the window up there.
Someone must actually live in that old house.
[Owl hooting]
Hey, Odie. I know. Let's investigate.
[Scary instrumental music]
Okay, Odie. Here's the plan.
I'll kick the door open, you jump in and secure the place.
Are you ready?
[Garfield groans]
Tell you what. Let's quietly slip in.
[Scary instrumental music continues]
[Thunder clapping]
It looks as though the place is deserted.
Let's warm ourselves by the fire.
This is more like it.
[Ominous instrumental music]
[Both screaming]
Shut up, you two.
That's enough to stop an old man's ticker.
[Odie whimpering]
You've picked a poor night to come visiting, my friends.
This could be the worst night of your lives.
I knew it. Let's not bother the man any longer, Odie.
Stay!
What I am about to tell you has never been told to another living soul.
Catchy beginning.
This island has a secret.
A deep, dark secret it has held for 100 years.
One hundred years ago, tonight...
a ruthless band of pirates held up in this very house.
MAN: They had looted many ships and were pursued by government troops.
They were so heavily laden with their ill-gotten gains...
they had to bury the treasure before making their escape.
However...
before they left this island on that stormy night...
they signed a contract written in blood.
They vowed to return for the treasure 100 years...
from Halloween night at the stroke of midnight.
Even if it meant returning from the grave.
[Clock ticking]
Do you believe this?
Believe it, my friends.
The pirates had a 10-year-old cabin boy.
I was that boy. I was there.
I never took the treasure because they would have found me.
There's no escaping them. They know we're here.
They know who we are.
Well, that made my mind up.
Come on, Odie, let's blow this joint. You want to come, too?
[Scary instrumental music]
Where'd he go? Well, never mind. Let's get to the boat.
Rats. There goes my boat.
Rats. There goes my candy.
My boat's gone, my candy's gone...
dead pirates are coming any minute, it's past my bedtime...
I wanna go home.
[Clock chiming]
[Tense instrumental music]
It's midnight.
Just as I suspected. That old man was just some kind of lunatic.
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
[Both screaming]
We gotta hide, Odie. We haven't much time.
We gotta find a good place to hide.
Don't worry that they know where we are.
Not there, dummy.
[Sniffling]
[Odie sneezes]
Maybe they didn't see us.
[Ominous instrumental music]
This is it, pal. We swim for it.
One, two, three...
Rats! I forgot. I can't swim.
[Scary instrumental music]
I owe you one, old buddy.
[Comical instrumental music]
The old man was right, Odie. This was the worst night of my life.
I've had nightmares that looked like birthday parties compared to tonight.
[Lively instrumental music]
Well, looky here.
It do be me candy.
I guess this story do have a happy ending after all, matey.
Let's be shoving off for home now.
GARFIELD: So the pirate ghosts got the treasure...
and we got the candy, candy...
[Sentimental instrumental music]
I'm about to do something that is totally out of character for me...
but seeing as how you saved my life...
about 18 zillion times tonight...
I want to give you something.
Something of great personal worth.
Something that represents a great personal sacrifice on my part.
Here's your half of the candy.
Yeah, I love you. Now get out of here.
What a night.
Boy, am I wired. I think I'll see what's on TV.
Good evening and welcome to our all-night pirate movie festival.
Boy, am I tired.
