House of Mouse Halloween

Meanwhile,

(Outside, Max watches a walking bathtub pull up. Inside are three cloaked occupants. The tallest jumps out. Max quickly notices how short she is and watches the other two jump out. A girl gives Max an invitation.)

Girl (who we later learn is Shock): We're here and we came for our boss and his suprise guest

Max: I thought the Big Bad Wolf was the surprise guest.

Boy 1 (Lock): No, the BoogieGirl is! *Snatches the card from Shock and hands it to Max*

Max: (reading aloud) "I, Mickey, invite you three here to the House of Mouse on Halloween Night to watch the suprise guests. Signed, Mickey Mouse." Hey! The Wolf had one of these too!

Shock: Then we'll have to straighten things out! *marches inside, tossing a quarter to Max as she passes.*

Max: Wait, madam! Your bathtub!

Boy 2 (Barrel): *pulls on Max's pant leg* Just lead it to the parking lot. It'll stay put.

(He and Lock each hand Max a quarter, then run inside to join Shock. Max sighs and leads the bathtub in a spot between Pegasus and Cinderella's coach.)

(Jess and Deiara sat down as Mickey comes out on stage)

Mickey: Now here is Lock, Shock, and Barrel, singing the popular Halloween Town hit, 'This is Halloween'!"

(The crowd cheers. The stage grows dark as "This is Halloween" begins.)

Lock: *light falls on him* Boys and girls of every age---

Barrel: *light falls on him* Wouldn't you like to something strange?

Shock: *light falls on her* Come with us and you will see---

All: This our town of Halloween! This is Halloween, this is Halloween, *Lock and Barrel lift Shock and walk in a circle* Pumpkins scream in the dead of night! *Lock jumps on Shock's shoulders and Barrel jumps on his.* This is Halloween, everybody make a scene, trick or treat--- *Lock and Barrel jump off*

Shock: 'Til the neighbors nearly die of fright!

Barrel: It's our town!

Lock: Everybody scream! *Shock screams*

Boys: In this town of Halloween---

(On each side of the stage, the creatures under the bed and stairs sing their bits.)

Lock, Shock, and Barrel: *dancing in a circle* This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! *With each "Halloween," they jump on each other's shoulders. They lift each arm one at a time, then jump off, taking off their masks and throwing them aside* In this town, we call home, everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song!

Barrel: In this town, don't we love it now? Everyone's waiting for the next surprise!

Shock: Round that corner, man, hiding in a trashcan, something's waiting for to pounce and how you'll-

Lock: Scream!

Barrel: This is Halloween!

Lock: Red and black---

Barrel: And slimy green! *Shock jumps on a broom and takes off*

Lock: Aren't you scared?

Shock: Well that's just fine! *She stands up and dances on the broom--- while she's still high up in the air* Say it once, say it twice, take the chance and roll the dice! Ride with the moon in the dead of night!

Lock: Everybody scream! *Shock screams*

Barrel: Everybody scream! *Shock's still screaming*

All: In our town of Halloween. *Shock dismounts her broom*

(The Clown does his bit while a voice whispers "I am the Who when you call who's there!" A wind blows through the crowd. Jess and Pocahontas stand up, allowing their hair to blow with it. For the shadow on the moon, an image appears on the screen and sings.)

All: This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! *Lock and Barrel lift Shock, each holding a foot and spin her around in time to the beat, then throw her in the air and catch her as they sing:* Tender lumplings everywhere, life's no fun without a good scare! *Lock holds Shock and Barrel back handsprings, then back flips while they sing* Lock: That's our job--- *sets Shock down*

Shock: But we're not mean---

All: In our town of Halloween! *Lock and Barrel handspring towards each other and back flip very quickly, before Lock runs offstage*

Barrel: In this town, don't we love it now?

Shock: Everyone's waiting for the next surprise! *As they sing, a well slowly rises from the trapdoor below.*

Shock and Barrel: Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee make you jump *they jump, flip forwards and land* out of your skin! This is Halloween! Everbody scream! *Barrel then pulls a tiny wooden horse with a small scarecrow onstage.*

Shock: Won't you please make way for a very special guy?

Shock and Barrel: Our man Jack is King of the pumpkin patch! Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now! *As they sing, the scarecrow stands on the horse, twirls very quickly four times, jumps on the horse's head and flips between Shock and Barrel* This is Halloween, this is Halloween *They skip to the left and twirl* Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! *Shock and Barrel lift the scarecrow up and twirl to the beat. On the last "Halloween," the scarecrow flips and goes feet first into the well, smoke and phony flame bursting from it.* In this town, we call home, everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song! *Shock and Barrel jump towards each other, catch each other's waists and twirl, then release and land. Lock, dressed like Jack, comes out of the well as Shock and Barrel dance around the well, chanting the "la's," Shock taking the main tune, Barrel taking the accompaniment. Lock jumps down. During the end music, Lock and Barrel throw Shock in the air and catch her, before all three flip towards the audience and flip back, before Shock jumps, landing in Lock and Barrel's arms. The audience stands up and cheers*

Mickey: *as Lock, Shock, and Barrel take their bows* Wow! What a great show, thanks to trick-or-treaters Lock, Shock, and Barrel! Now for another cartoon.
