Ghoulies

In ignem iacto unguenta pretiosa,

et mira sumio.

Tibi supplex...

donem honorem!

No!

You promised! You promised not our child!

Whore! He is the one.

You can't hurt him now, you bastard!

His blood will flow.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Take him away! Forever!

Do it now.

You will take his place.

Don't be afraid, little one.

You'll be safe.

Lucifer!

Rubrum e iugulo

ut tibi supplex donem honorem.

The child had been saved, so it seemed.

And I vowed that he would never know

the evil from whence he was spawned.

And when his father finally died a horrible death,

I felt sure that the curse had passed forever.

I can't believe you inherited this place.

I know. Me neither.

I suppose we'll just have to get used to the good life.

Does that mean we get to hire a maid and a cook?

Are you kidding?

It's gonna break me just to keep the lawn mowed.

Well, we could always sell it and move to Westwood.

Very funny. Very funny.

No, I like this place... I think.

What's that?

- I don't know. It looks... - Like a grave.

- What are you doing? - I'm gonna take a look.

No, don't. It's kinda creepy-looking.

Come on, Becky. It's mine, isn't it?

I don't know. Looks sort of old.

Must have been hard growing up without a family.

I mean!!!

Rebecca, this is Wolfgang.

He's sort of the caretaker around here.

Wolfgang, this is Rebecca.

Hi. I...

You scared me.

Well, we'll go back to the house.

We'll see you later, Wolfgang.

So Wolfgang's the only family I've ever known.

Who read all these books? Your dad?

Yeah, I guess so.

The Secret World of Magic?

The Black Magic Ritual.

The Grimoire of Abra-Melin.

You all right?

You probably scared him more than he scared you.

Hey, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you start cleaning the upstairs

and I'll work on the downstairs?

What do you say?

OK. But if there are any more rats the deal's off.

I've been thinking.

About having a party.

- Here? - Sure. Why not?

It's not like anybody could wreck the place or anything.

Whoa!

This is it! Eddie, Eddie.

They got food.

Eddie, these are my friends. They love me, man.

- And this is where they're at. - That's good. That's real good.

But what if they're not?

Then I'll have to get some new friends.

Man, you should have seen the quim I poked last night.

I'm so unhappy-

Toad Boy needs sweetmeat for his tum.

Will you knock off that Toad Boy shit already?

Jesus!

You don't love me. You just pretend.

Shit, I can't talk to you, man.

- Hey, Dick. - Jon.

- How you doing? - I'm doing alright.

It's him I'm worried about.

- Hey, Mark. How you doing? - I'm miserable.

So, wanna dance later?

Think you can handle it?

- Try me. - I might.

I went out with Mark last night.

You're kidding.

- You mean Toad Boy? - Don't ask me why.

No, things were really nice, they were,

but then he just got so weird.

Do you think he's a virgin?

I don't know.

But I certainly know who isn't.

Hey, Rebecca.

Can you lead me to the nearest beer?

In the refrigerator.

Thanks.

So... Who's your beautiful friend?

- I'm Donna. - They call me Dick.

But you can call me... Dick.

Break dance!

I think I busted my head.

Oh, thank God.

I thought that you really hurt yourself.

What do you guys wanna do?

We could play hide-and-go-seek.

Yeah!

What about Trivial Pursuit?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Why don't we just play charades?

Yeah.

- Strip poker. - Yeah.

No way.

All right!

I got an idea. Let's do a ritual.

You guys, it's kinda spooky in here.

Alright, everybody listen up.

I want everybody to take a sip. Go ahead.

I'm gonna draw a circle and I want you all to stay inside it.

Go on, man.

So now what are you doin'?

I'm gonna conjure up a spirit,

and it's gonna appear right here in this triangle.

Yeah. OK.

I believe you.

Jonathan, how do you know how to do that?

I don't know. I must have read it in a book.

Rebecca, take the rock and put it

at the north point of the circle.

Where?

Take the candle and put it at the south point.

Right there.

Yod hay vau hay.

Yod hay vau hay.

Yod hay vau hay.

Yod hay vau hay.

You do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around.

Hey, knock it off!

Ateh malkuth...

ve-gedulah ve-geburah...

le-olahm. Amen.

Te nunc transforma in formam veram

quod eludet species mentem meam.

Shut up, goddammit!

I'm sorry. Jeez.

O Surgat, I conjure thee...

that thou come before this circle immediately

and agree to obey my orders.

Come, I order thee in the name of the most Holy Trinity.

I order thee to manifest thyself at once,

without injury to me or any other in this room.

Come, I order thee.

Come, I order thee,

in the name of the most Holy Trinity.

Come, I order thee.

Well, that was fun.

Yeah, let's go get another beer.

Nice try, Jon.

- Where's Robin? - I don't know.

Maybe the toad monster got her.

I don't think that's very funny.

Well, she's not the kind who would just leave.

Honey, I think we'd better go find her.

Yeah, come on.

No, no, wait. I need to dismiss the spirit.

So do I. Where's the bathroom?

Upstairs.

Come on.

- Robin? - Hey, Robin!

Jeez!

Dude.

- Dude. - What?

I don't think she's in here.

Well, I don't think so either.

Hey, let's...

- Check out the closet. - Check out the closet.

You bozo!

- Hey, Mike. Mike. - What?

Wasn't he over there?

I don't think she's here.

Robin! Hey, Robin. Where are you?

Hey, Robin.

Robin! Hey, come on.

There she is.

Hey, Robin, what are you doing?

Robin.

Robin?

- You OK? - Yeah, I guess so.

Come on, little girl.

I'll have you feelin' better in no time.

- I made a big decision today. - What?

Well... I decided to withdraw from school this quarter.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Listen, I just think I should take some time off.

Stay home and fix this place up.

Look, I walked around this place all day today.

I thought of all these great things I could do.

Terrific, but can't you just wait until you've graduated
