==Transcript==
(We open on the CMC playing baseball)
Apple Bloom:Alrighty, here goes! Badder up! 
(Throws it and Scootaloo hits it and it goes up to the doorstep of the house they are playing near)
Apple Bloom:Scoots, why don't you go up an' get it? Me an' Sweetie will wait here.
Scootaloo:Are you crazy? I'm not going up to that spooky place!
Sweetie Belle:Hey it's your ball.
Scootaloo:Well it's Apple Bloom's fault for thinking we should come up here to play ball in the first place!
Apple Bloom:Well your the one who whacked it so hard!
Scootaloo:Yeah well your the one who thought it would be great to come up here in the first place!
Sweetie Belle:Oh come on!
Apple Bloom:Applejack tells me not to come up here. And yet here I am. Disobayin' m'ah sister's rules.
Sweetie Belle:Oh for Pete sakes! I'll go and get it! I mean look! It's only at the doorstep.
(Marches up to the door in an angry way and gets it but hears moaning)
Sweetie Belle:Huh?
Apple Bloom:What's that sound?
(They go up to their friend)
Scootaloo:Sweetie Belle?
(She turns around screaming)
Sweetie Belle:Oh. It's you guys.
Scootaloo:What's that sound?
Sweetie Belle:I don't know.
(They then hear crazy laughter)
Apple Bloom:Now there's some crazy laughter.
(A witch can be heard cackling)
Scootaloo:And witches too.
(They hear a car revering)
Apple Bloom:A car?
(They hear bats screeching)
Apple Bloom:And bats?
(They hear an evil sound)
Voice:Mwhahahaha.
Scootaloo:That's definitely a vampire.
Sweetie Belle:We better get out of here!
(They run away and we then cut to the gang at Sugarcube Corner where Snails it making sandwiches)
Snails:Peanut butter, jelly, sardines, pickles, onions, cheese, baloney, gyro, liverwurst, little peppercorn, and here it is. A quadruple decker sardine sandwich.
(Spike devours it)
Spike:Mmm. It's not bad.
(Applejack comes with her latte)
Applejack:Boy howdy. I ain't never seen Snails make a sandwich that big.
Big Macintosh:Nnope. Usually it's a normal sized sammich.
Snails:And I'm gonna make another.
(The CMCs come running in)
Appel Bloom:Applejack! Big Mac! We heard'em!
Applejack:Hang on, heard what?
Apple Bloom:Up at the old house mansion in the woods! They did scary noises!
Applejack:Li'll lady I thought I told you to stay away from that place, that place is hauned.
Apple Bloom:An' you were right Applejack! We heard witches, bats, a crazy man laughing and a car revving up.
Pinkie Pie:Wow, that sounds like a Scooby-Doo mystery.
Fluttershy:I'd go along with the girls on this one. I don't want any part of that old house out in the woods. They say that there are creepy things.
Sci-Twi:Such as what Fluttershy?
Fluttershy:Like weird sounds, the doors opening and closing, the lights flickering on and off, and they say that it's home to monsters and they're called, the Laughing Lunatic, the Haunted Car, they say there are also dolls that can be made into you. They can make them look like you as well. And then there's the vampire Vlad, who was said to be an exchange student to Canterlot High from Transylvania, and then there's the Witch who can make you into anything she can eat. They even say there are zombies up there that crave brownies, and Pinkie'll have to stay away from there. And there's a monster called the Smudge Monster, two dogs called the Wolfatizers, a creepy man looking like the Phantom from the Jimmy Neutron episode The Phantom of Retroland, a monster called the Pool Ghoul, Nightmare Moon, Sunset Satin, Midnight Sparkle, a rat king, a squirrel monster, a bug monster, a monster known as the Yamananda, a jacket called the Evil Jacket, the Lonesome Ghosts, a Frankenstien like monster and a Headless Caddie and that's all of them.
Sci-Twi:Clearly there's a logical explanation for all of this.
Big Macintosh:Well anyway someone's gotta go up there and investigate.
Fluttershy:Not it.
(Leaves and they turn to each other)
Snails:Applejack you think you and Big Mac could go? Because Apple Bloom is your sister and as the older siblings you've got to protect your younger sibling.
Applejack:Ah promised Granny that I'd help her make apple pies for the school's bake sale.
(Leaves and that only leaves the five of them)
Big Macintosh:Guess we're the only ones goin' up there.
Sci-Twi:How? We don't have any mode of transportation.
Rarity:I have no clue.
Big Macintosh:I found this old bus. We could spruce it up a bit and we'd be rollin.
Sci-Twi:We're not painting another car Big Mac.
Big Macintosh:Well that was my only idea.
Sci-Twi:I've got it!
(Says that snapping her fingers)
Rarity:What?
Sci-Twi:Come on over to my house and I'll show you a van that Shining Armor let me have.
(We fade to Twilight's house where she lifts open the garage door)
Sci-Twi:There she is guys.
(Cuts to a little green micro mini van looking like in a fan comic by OneOverTwo, it have spiny swirls on the tires, Twilight's cutie mark on both sides and on the hatch of the front)
Spike:Yeah and she's already sixteen so yeah it's all cool.
Big Macintosh:I call dibs on drivin!
Rarity:I call middle!
Sci-Twi:I call shotgun!
(Says that at the same time as Snails)
Snails:Like I call shotgun! (Twilight beat him to it and he is disappointed)Awww.
(They get in)
Spike:Wow this is a mystery that this machine is awesome.
Snails:I'll say. Hey that's what we'll call it!
Sci-Twi:Hate to break it to you fellas but that name's already been taken by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc gang.
Snails:Oh. Well how' bout the Clue Car?
Sci-Twi:Taken by the Clue Club.
Snails:The Conundrum Contraption?
Sci-Twi:Taken by the Conundrum Crew.
Snails:The Mystery Mobile?
Sci-Twi:Taken by the Mystery Crew.
Snails:Well like I don't know what to call it.
Big Macintosh:How' bout the Canterlot Cruiser?
Snails:Like that's great Big Mac. Great ring to it man.
(It's almost dark by the time they make it to the house)
Sci-Twi:It's time we go in and investigate.
(They enter and look around)
Big Macintosh:Hello? Helloooo?
(They walk down a hall and they go past a bookshelf and the secret door slides open to reveal, the Creep it watches them we then cut to the whole gang)
Big Macintosh:We'll split up. The girls and I will go this way.
Snails:And Spike and I will go to the kitchen.
Big Macintosh:That's not what I had in mind Snails.
Snails:Well that's what I have.
(They go their ways and the eyes in a painting move)
(We fade to Snails and Spike in the kitchen)
Snails:Hey Spike, dig this crazy pantry.
(Opens the door and they see)
Yamamba:Geeeet ouuutttt!
(Back to scene, they freak out)
Snails:Zoinks! A monster! 
(They both go Ahhhhh! and slam the door and run off)
(Twilight investigates a closet)
Sci-Twi:There must be a clue in here. (Opens it to find the Lonesome Spirits, a ghostly group of ghosts who like scaring folks like the Ghostly Trio from Casper)Jinkies! Ghosts!
(Slams the door and runs only to trip and loose her glasses)
Sci-Twi:(Waves her hands in front of her face and then puts them on the floor moving them)My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!
(A Frankenstein monster type creature comes and hands them to her)
Sci-Twi:Thank you.
(Puts them on and sees the monster which roars)
Sci-Twi:Jinkies!
(Runs off we cut to Rarity and Big Mac in a room)
Rarity:Gosh Big Mac are we really gonna go a long way?
Big Macintosh:Ya know Rare I never even met the McDonald's burger Big Mac. I mean I've seen it but never tried it.
Rarity:Hmm, perhaps this book could be a clue. (Opens it)It's about this house being home to paranormal entities.
Big Macintosh:Why's it all written down in a notebook?
Rarity:I have no idea.
(Checks the closet to see a dirty and crusty looking old jacket made completely of pants and this causes Rarity to scream)
Big Macintosh:Rarity, what is it?
Rarity:It's this jacket! It's old and crusty! It's dirty too! I wouldn't be caught dead in this dreadful thing!
Evil Jacket:(Eerie voice)You say I am worthless and I come after you!
Rarity:Who said that?
Big Macintosh:(Shrugs)Dunno.
Evil Jacket:(Eerie voice)I did! I am the Evil Jacket! I warn you! Leave this house and never return!
(They run off screaming cuts to Snails and Spike running in Shaggy and Scooby run cycles and we cut to Twilight running in Velma's run cycle in Mystery Incorporated we then cut to Big Mac and Rarity running down a hall in Fred and Daphne's run cycle and they all crash into each other)
Big Macintosh:What's goin on y'all?
Snails:We're being chased by a monster!
Rarity:We're being chased by an old jacket! And it's haunted!
Sci-Twi:I'm being chased by some ghosts and a Frankenstein monster!
Big Macintosh:We should probably head to where Twilight seen them ghosts.
(We fade to the door, as Twilight opens it Snails and Spike are shaking and shivering, she opens it to reveal the ghosts this causes them to be scared)
Snails:Zoinks!
(Jumps to Spike)
Sci-Twi:Oh don't be silly guys! It's just a bunch of Halloween decorations. But I'll bet it's a clue.
(Wailing is heard and they turn to see a man resembling the Headless Coachman from the Hey Arnold episode and with him is the lady who gives him the scarf)
Headless Coachman:Would you like a coach ride?
(Says that in an eerie voice)
Demon Woman:Would you like a scarf?
(Laughs wildly and they scream and run off and a golden hooked handed pirate appears)
Pirate:Argh!
(They yelp as they dodge it and continue running and Rarity falls through a trap door)
Sci-Twi:Rarity! Rarity!
Big Macintosh:What happened?!
Sci-Twi:Rarity fell through a trap door!
(They hear maniacal laughter and this causes Snails's hair to stand)
Snails:Zoinks!
(Runs we cut to Spike)
Spike:Yow!
(Runs off we cut to Twilight running as she is carrying the gang into a room and closes the door as we blackout at fade back to the gang walking)
Big Macintosh:Come on we've gotta find Rarity.
Snails:But what about that?
(Mimicks the laugh)
Sci-Twi:It was probably just the wind.
Snails:Well that's the first wind I ever heard with a sense of humor.
Big Macintosh:Come on Spike. Put your nose to work.
Spike:Right!
(Sniffs on the ground as we fade to a way and Rarity is heard pounding)
Rarity:(OS)Let me out of here! Let me out of here!
(Slides down onto the ground)
Rarity:Wow. I wonder how do I get out of this creepy inner sanctum. Well my intuition tells me. (Points)That way.
(Goes off as a hand nearly grabs her but misses we fade to Big Mac and Twilight walking by a skull with books underneath it and we cut to Spike and Snails are whistling)
Snails:Stop that whistling you make me nervous.
(We fade to them by the skull)
Snails:Uh-oh! Like which way did they go?
(Cuts to skull)
Skull:They went thataway.
(Back to scene)
Snails:Oh thanks man.
Skull:S'awright.
(They gulp and run off we cut to them at a suit of armor)
Snails:Like wow! A talking skull!
Spike:Like wow!
Snails:I'm so scared! I wish I had a ham sandwich to calm by nerves!
Spike:Me too.
(A ham sandwich)
Spike:Hey look, a ham sandwich.
Snails:Like wow! Finally!
(Lifts bread up)
Spike:What's the matter?
Snails:It needs mustard Spike, that's what's the matter.
(A bottle of mustard appears)
Spike:Here's some mustard.
Snails:Great. Duh put it on before I starve.
Spike:Ok, here goes. And I'm starved too.
(Squirts it on the sandwich and they place it on the table)
Snails:Now if only it could be cut in half.
Spike:Yeah.
(The suit of armor's ax falls on it cutting it in half and this causes them to freakout and run away and Snails comes back for the slices of the sandwich and runs off and we cut to Rarity holding a vase over her head and hears something)
Rarity:Someone's coming. (Snails runs past her and she hits him on the head with the vase causing him to see stars) Snails!
(Cuts to close up)
Snails:Oh. Hi Rarity.
(Falls down and we cut to scene where the whole gang are there)
Sci-Twi:Hey Snails found Rarity.
Big Macintosh:For once he used his head. (Cuts to him groaning)Are ya alright?
Snails:Yeah, just as soon as I have six or seven sandwiches.
(Cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:He's alright, alright. (Cuts back to scene)Look what Big Mac and I found.
Big Macintosh:(Pulls out comic with a jester like villain's face on it and it is titled Laughing Lunatic, he pulls it from his jacket)It's this comic book. We don't know what it's doin' here in this old place.
Sci-Twi:It's called the Laughing Lunatic. And in a spell book I found it might explain the mysterious goings-on. 
Big Macintosh:And maybe this Laughing Lunatic character might be one'a them.
(Back to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:Only we don't know.
(Cackling is heard and we cut to the Laughing Lunatic which looks like Timber Spruce with the costume on, he cackles)
Snails:(OS)There goes that crazy wind again.
Rarity:(OS)Crazy wind nothing. (Cuts to them)Look.
(Back to the Laughing Lunatic)
Laughing Lunatic:Beware! My monstrous friends haunt this house! We've tormented tons of people who ever try to live here. You've already met the Haunted Jacket, the Yamamaba, the Frankenton Monster, the Lonesome Spirits. But they were only the beginning. More is to come. You'll soon meet the Headless Cabbie! The Ghostly Boyfriend! The doll versions of the three girls who were here, the vampire named Vlad, the People Eating Witch, the Brownizombie, the Haunted Car, the Smudge Monster, the Phantom Woodcutters, the Masked Chainsaw Terror, the Wolfatizers, the Phantom of Equestria Land, the Pool Ghoul, and some monsters from your past. Such as Sunset Satin, Midnight Sparkle, and a new comer called Za-Naron. Beware! You have been warned.
(Cackles as he goes away)
Spike:Wow, talk about some kooky creatures.
