## Transcript

### Description

Most things from Jeff’s house were given or sold away, but I kept onto this. It’s an unfinished Halloween cartoon of the game my dad was making. After my dad died my Uncle wanted to continue the work my brother did. I think it was a means to promote the game, or to expand the platform that these characters appeared on. Honestly though, I think it’s just because Jeff was down on his luck with money, and this was a way he could get more on the side. I’m glad that everything my dad worked for isn’t gone completely though. I miss him, mom, and Louis, and in a weird way, whenever I see these characters, I feel like I’m with them again.

IN **MONSTROUS MANOR**

COPYRIGHT 1986 EASTWOOD PROD LTD"*The manor is shown. The camera pans downward to reveal Andy and his friends, who are in their Halloween costumes.*

* **Andy**: "So, uh, this is the place?"
* **Claus the Clock**: "Yes indeed. This does look like the place."
* **Melody the Moon**: "Do you all think this is a good idea?"
* **Claus**: "Hm, Melody, perhaps you should learn to live a little."
* **Melody**: "Perhaps you should learn to shu--"
* **Felix the Fish**: "This place is really spooky. I'm gonna go ring the doorbell!"

*The doorbell with the words "Press Here" and an arrow pointing to it is shown. As Felix rings it, the camera zooms in on several empty rooms in the manor.*

* **Margret the Mole**: "Well, it looks like nobody's home, and the door's locked. I guess we should just turn back."
* **Felix**: "Turn back!? Nah, we're breaking in! I wanna see this place."
* **Andy**: "Felix, I don't think that's a good idea. We could be in big trouble!"
* **Felix**: "Trouble Smarouble, I've done worse things before!"
* **Andy**: "Y- You have?"
* **Claus**: "Let's just go through the window and have a look around. Maybe we'll see some ghosts!"

*The front door suddenly opens.*

* **Melody**: "Well, it looks like they're inviting us in!"
* **Andy**: "Why did the door open!?"

*Andy and his dialogue distort a little.*

* **Andy**: "What's going on?"
* **Margret**: "C'mon Andy, everyone else is goin! Unless you wanna stay out here *all* by yourself!"

*The camera zooms in on the manor. The group enters.*

* **Felix**: "Whoa, man! This place is rad!"
* **Claus**: "And very dusty. *[coughs]*"
* **Andy**: "Claus, how do you cough? Like, do you have lungs?"
* **Claus**: "I- I don't know!"
* **Melody**: "Yeah, it is a little weird. How do you even talk? You're a Clock!"
* **Claus**: "I *don't know*, Melody. How do you talk?"
* **Melody**: "Now that you mention it, I have no idea!"

*Andy panics.*

* **Andy**: "Guys, what was that!?"
* **Felix**: "What was what man?"
* **Andy**: "Over there, in the hallway! I think I saw g-ghosts!"
* **Claus**: *[unserious]* "I bet you did Andy! Margret, you go with me upstairs, and Andy, Felix, Melody, y'all check the basement!"
* **Margret**: "If we're gonna find this ghost, we're gonna have to split into groups."
* **Felix**: "Why? That seems like a really bad idea."
* **Margret**: "If we stay in a group, the ghost could easily evade us."
* **Claus**: "Let's just go before we lose the ghost completely!"
* **Melody**: "Okie-dokie! Whatever you say, *[with a kawaii-esque expression]* Catain!"
* **Claus**: "Please, never call me that again."

*In the next scene, Andy, Felix, and Melody open the door to the basement.*

* **Andy**: "Guys, I don't think this is a good idea! I'm kinda scared!"
* **Felix**: "Man, has there ever been a time when you're *not* scared? C'mon, I got a flashlight, let's just go down here."
* **Melody**: "I don't need a flashlight, I can just do this!"

*Melody glows.*

* **Felix:** "You know man, I- I'm not even gonna ask how you did that."
* **Andy**: "Wait, but guys, I don't even have a light!"
* **Melody**: "Just keep close to me! We'll make sure you won't go anywhere."
* **Andy**: "Thanks Melody, you're a nice friend--"

*Suddenly, a distorted image of The Entity with glowing eyes shrouded by the darkness briefly appears.*

* **Felix**: "C'mon guys! Let's just head down here already!"

*Felix shines his flashlight around the basement. There is a door at the end.*

* **Felix**: "Whoa, this place is so rad! Kinda spooky too."

*The trio walks toward the door.*

* **Melody**: "Do you think we should turn back? This is really creeping me out, Felix."
* **Felix**: "Oh and now you're scared too?"

*Melody is visibly taken back.*

* **Felix**: "I'm not scared, I'll show you!"
* **Melody**: "Felix, you don't have to be pretending to be brave!"
* **Felix**: "Pretending? I'm not pretending anything! I'm gonna open that door, and you're not gonna stop me!"
* **Andy**: "Felix, who knows what could be in there!? Maybe we should really turn back."

*Felix proceeds to open the door.*

* **Felix**: "No, if you don't wanna all come with me, fine. But I'm gonna see this gh--"

*Felix is shocked by whatever's in the room.*

* **Andy**: "H- Hey Felix? A- Are you okay?"
* **Melody**: "Yeah, what's over there?"

*Melody walks over to see. She gasps.*

* **Melody**: "We need to get out of here, right now!"
* **Andy**: "Guys, W- What is it? What's in there?"
* **Felix**: "We need to warn Claus and Margret!"

*The trio runs out of the basement.*

* **Andy**: "You're all scaring me!"

*Andy glitches out, Thomas' portrait briefly appearing on his face.*

* **Andy**: "What did y'all see down there?"
* **Felix**: "We'll tell you later man! You just gotta get Claus and Margret upstairs, and t- then we'll leave, okay!?"
* **Andy**: "You're not coming with us?"
* **Felix**: "Nah man, I just wanna be out of this house."
* **Melody**: "It's okay, Andy. I'll go get Claus and Margret with you!"
* **Andy**: "Thanks Mel'."
* **Felix**: "I'll just be waitin' outside."
* **Andy**: "Okay, Felix. We'll be out once we get them."

*Andy and Melody wander through the halls.*

* **Andy**: "Claus?"
* **Melody**: "Mom? I mean, Margret?"
* **Andy**: "You all up there? Where are you guys?"

*The scene shows a dark part of the hallway. A face appears in the darkness.*

* **Andy**: "Hello? Claus?"
* **Melody**: "Andy, that's... not Claus."
* **Andy**: "Huh, okay! Hey Margret!"
* **Melody**: "Andy, that's not Margret either..."
* **Andy**: "Well, then who is it?"
* **Melody**: "I- I don't know..."
* **Andy**: "Oh, uh, c- can you uh, do your glowy thing?"
* **Melody**: "Yeah, I can- I can try."

*After a second, Melody glows again.*

* **Melody**: "Oh hey look! It's a plushie of you, Andy!"

*Melody picks up the Andy plushie she stepped on.*

* **Andy**: "Wow, that's um, super weird actually. Why?"
* **Melody**: "Eh, I don't know. It's pretty sweet!"

*The scene shows a door at the end of the hallway.*

* **Melody**: "Well, do you want to do the honors?"
* **Andy**: "Um, okay..."

*Andy walks toward the door.*

* **Melody**: "Go ahead, you'll be fine!"

*Andy opens the door*.

* **Andy**: "Is anyone in here? Claus? Margret? Huh, I guess they aren't here after all."

*Andy turns around to see Melody has vanished.*

* **Andy**: "Melody, you too!? Where is everyone!?"

*The face in the darkness from earlier is seen behind Andy, now surrounded by several disembodied eyes. Andy gasps and faints.*

*However, Claus, Margret, and Melody appear, revealing it to be a prank.*

* **Claus**: "Oh no, Andy! Are you alright?"
* **Margret**: "We didn't mean to scare ya that bad!"
* **Melody**: "Maybe we should just go home. This prank has gone on too far..."
* **Margret**: "Yeah, you're right. Let's just grab him and go home."
* **Claus**: "Gosh, I knew that Andy would be a little startled, but this is worse than I thought!"

*In the next scene, the group is at the front door. Margret is carrying Andy.*

* **Margret**: "Hey Mel', could you be a doll and get the door for us?"
* **Melody**: "It- It's locked..."
* **Claus**: "What do you mean it's locked? Nobody even has the key!"

*The group notices a tall black figure with a singular eye standing behind them.*

* **Margret**: "Hello? Do you- Do you have the key?"

*No response.*

* **Claus**: "Could you get us out of here?"

*No response.*

* **Melody**: "Please! We're sorry for going into your house, just let us leave!"

*No response. The camera has zoomed in on its face. Cut to black after a moment.*

*Afterward, the group is shown outside.*

* **Felix**: "What are y'all screaming about? Oh my gosh man, what happened to Andy!?"
* **Margret**: "We all scared him a little too hard..."
* **Claus**: "Yes, perhaps we should not have gone this far with scaring him."
* **Felix**: "You're telling me! Those bodies in the basement? Super realistic!"
* **Margret**: "Felix... we didn't put any bodies in the basement..."

*Rooms of the manor are shown: The foyer, the basement, then the door in the basement.*

*After a cut to black, Isabella's portrait fades in while distorted audio plays. The audio stops as a line of text appears:*

* "IT WON'T STOP FOLLOWING ME."

*Then:*

* "HELP ME"

*The audio continues playing as Isabella's face fades to a portrait of her skull. Cut to black after a moment and the audio stops. As the video ends, ciphered text appears:*

* "**THIS CREATURE FEEDS OFF OF GRIEF.**
* **IT ATTACKS THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY IN DISTRESS.**
* **THAT IS WHY IT ATTACKED ISABELLA'S DAD.**
* **AND NOW IT'S AFTER HER.**
* **WE MUST FIND A WAY TO STOP IT.**
* **I FIND THAT TAKING ISABELLA OUT GETS HER MIND OFF OF THINGS.**
* **BUT I'M WORRIED THIS THING WILL CATCH UP TO HER.**
* **WE WILL STOP IT!**
* **I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO IF WE CAN'T.**
* **- SAM"**

* "**END OF VIDEO PRESENTATION**"

## Trivia

* When Andy and Melody are walking to find Claus and Margret, a portrait of Isabella can be seen behind them.
* In the description, for some reason, Isabella says, "After my dad died my Uncle wanted to continue the work **my brother** did." M36games most likely meant "his brother" to refer to Thomas.
