A "SCARY" CAR-TOON

{Cut to:}

"That A Ghost"

Presented in Grand Old Sound-O-Vision

{Opens to 1936 Marzipan with a plate of bones on the table}

1936 MARZIPAN: We haven't eaten in weeks!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Guess what I read in the news-papper today.

1936 MARZIPAN: I can't guess.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost.

1936 MARZIPAN: You read that a ghost what?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost is.

1936 MARZIPAN: You read that a ghost is what?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I read that a ghost is here in town and there's a 27 cent reward for its capture.

'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: You said it Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn-tone with 27 big ones.

{The conversation is being watched in a telescope; pan to the right of the long telescope, where actually no-one is watching, but The Strong Bad stands nearby reading a paper}

THE STRONG BAD: Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies!

{Cut to The Strong Bad, The Strong Man and The Sneak}

THE STRONG BAD: We could buy the monacle off Rockerfeller's very eyeball with that kind of cash!

THE STRONG MAN: Raaar!

{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a spooky house with a gate signed 'Pietimer'}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Let's check out the old Pietimer place.

1936 MARZIPAN: We should split up.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: We can do more damage that way.

{They walk in. 1936 Marzipan looks under a cup.}

1936 MARZIPAN: Under here?

{The Homestar Runner looks at a bookshelf full of ghost books.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.

{He removes a book labelled 'A Goodtime Story', the only book not related to ghosts or monsters. Opening it, a moth flies out.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just a moth. {He tries to eat the moth, but it flies off.} Darnit!

{1936 Marzipan looks under a plate.}

1936 MARZIPAN: Under here? {Spiders run out.}

{The Homestar Runner walks past two portraits. The one marked 'Mr. Pietimer' follows him with its eyes.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: That picture-m'drawin' looks sur-spicious. {He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".} It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Ah, phooey.

{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, with a cigar and a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Fat Dudley? Were you gonna sneak a nip of hooch?

'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}

{Outside the house again, with the gate behind them.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of crow-saminals. Let's go look somewheres else.

{Cut to 'Cholera Acres Cemetary', then to The Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of Eustice Pietimer's grave (skinflint and junk codger).}

THE STRONG BAD: Listen smoothly, The Sneak! We're sure to catch a ghost once we exhume this grave using my new grave inhuman invention!

{Cut to The Strong Man holding a shovel.}

THE STRONG MAN: Raaar!

THE STRONG BAD: What what? Of course I know that's not just The Strong Man holding a shovel! It's my newest invention! Besides, The Strong Man's over there doing some kind of stylish jig!

{Cut to The Strong Man, who is now doing a stylish jig on an unmarked grave (son of mark grave). The Guy at the Depot's head comes up out of the grave.}

THE GUY AT THE DEPOT: {wheezily} Would you please keep it down?

{Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the 'Punkin Patch'.}

1936 MARZIPAN: The Homestar Runner, I'm s-s-s-s-scared!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.

1936 MARZIPAN: But I'm s-s-s-s-S-scared!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, fine. We'll go look in the graveyard.

1936 MARZIPAN: {smiling} Hooray!

{Cut back to Cholera Acres Cemetary, where they enter, then meet The Strong Bad, The Strong Man and The Sneak, who have dug up the grave of Eustice Pietimer.}

THE STRONG BAD: You're too late! The reward will be ours! I'll be marching around in gold pants in no time!

1936 MARZIPAN: Where's the ghost?

THE STRONG BAD: Behold! The fantoustic phantasm!

{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave, and floats above it.}}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.

SICKLY SAM: I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.

THE STRONG BAD: Criminy crickets! Foiled again!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Then where's the real ghost?

{A black cloaked ghost with spindly arms fades in, floating above the tombstones.}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {eyes bulging} Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. {his skin falls off, leaving his skeleton}

THE STRONG BAD: Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! {his skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton too}

{Cut back to the ghost, which fades away, then to The Homestar Runner and 1936 Marzipan, who is also a skeleton.}

1936 MARZIPAN: At least we'll never go hungry again.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: 'Cept for Fat Dudley. {Cut to Fat Dudley, who is 'eating' a shoe with a soup spoon, with a jug labelled 'XXX' nearby.} He's livin' the high life!

'FAT DUDLEY: {makes showtune noises}

{Transition accompanied with closing music, to:}

The Homestar Runner's voice isn't as scratchy and Fat Dudley's voice is deeper than in Parsnips-A-Plenty.
The Quote "Let's split up, we can do more damage that way." is a reference to 1984's Ghostbusters.
The picture labeled 'Cory' could be a referance to the Strong Bad e-mail (I forget the name) written by 'the citizens of cory'.
