An All Dogs Halloween/Transcript

## Opening

(*DreamWorks SKG logo*)

(*With the "Toccata in D" playing in the background, the special opens with onscreen signs reading "DreamWorks Television and MGM Television presents" before three words appear onscreen "An All Dogs" and one word "Halloween" appears after a lighting flash, revealing the special's title; "An All Dogs Halloween". The next scene as the camera pans right from the black screen to Hell and zooms to a door, as the camera fades to zoom towards the keyhole three times. Then it enters the room where a coffin that stood on the top of a small hill, opens up and Belladonna slowly rises up from the coffin, like Count Dracula and opens up her cape, laughing evilly as she gazes at the camera*)

**Belladonna:** Evening there, foolish souls. I'm glad you've dropped in to my place to hear the spookiest Halloween stories ever. Ah, yes. Halloween, my favorite time of the year; filled with wonders of horror, superstation, monsters, and spooky stories. Ha, ha! And perfect time for me, Belladonna, to tell you the horrific doggone tales. TBD

## ***The Mad Scientist's Castle***

**Belladonna:** (*voice-over; narrating*) The first story started a year back where Halloween was spreading in New Orleans once again, Charlie B. Barkin and Itchy Itchiford were strolling through the neighborhood, bustling with Halloween decorations, for paying to visit their friend Anne-Marie for some important favor, but little did our three heroes expected is that they would stumble across their most scariest adventure yet.

(*Charlie and Itchy walk through a neighborhood, filled with Halloween decorations. Itchy, on the other hand, who is terrified looking around the scary decorations*)

**Itchy:** (*whimpering terrifyingly; to himself*) I-I-I don't like the looks of this place. Those things gives me a creeps in my fur.

(*Itchy stumbles across a large jack-o-lantern, which makes him yelp in fear and zooms towards Charlie, holding onto his neck, shaking, much to Charlie's irked look on his face*)

**Charlie:** (*sighs*) Itchy. Mind you consider to explain me regarding your deal here, that made you paranoid?

**Itchy:** (*scared*) I-I have a chilling feeling that we're not.. (*gulps*) we’re not welcome here. Those guys didn't look friendly. They even want to haunt us away. I think we should do what they assisted, Charlie.

**Charlie:** (*pulls off Itchy from him to the ground*) Seriously, stop being a scaredy-cat and pull yourself together. Look around; they don't look like they're real or alive. Nothing to be scared off.

**Itchy:** (*points to the other side with his shock look*) Then what's that moving over there?! (*The camera pans to the left where a witch is laughing and stirring with her broom on the cauldron. The camera cuts to Itchy shields himself behind Charlie*) Don't let her get me, Charlie!

(*Charlie, as usual, annoyed as he calmly approaches the witch as he then tilts her on the grass, still laughing and stirring, which turns out to be just an animatronic figure*)

**Charlie:** See, Itch'? This may look alive, but not real. Now come on already and let’s go. Anne-Marie's waiting for us.

(*The two dogs proceed walking through the neighborhood*)

**Itchy:** So what're we been doing while at Anne-Marie's anyway?

**Charlie:** Good you asked that question. But the only I remember is some kind of activity relate to "Howl All Weenie" or is it "Honolulu Lulu Whiny", "Holla-Ballo Wheezy", or "Holiday No Willy", or "Hardy Mo Whatdiggy", I dunno. Because I happened to never put this out of my mouth by pronouncing such a word! Have any clue what is?

**Itchy:** I think that pronounce "Halloween", is it?

**Charlie:** Yeah, that word, I guess, since I never have any clue what this holiday is.

**Itchy:** Me neither. Although I seemly have a sense that this has something to do with those creeps surrounded in this neighborhood, don't you think Charlie?

**Charlie:** (*annoyed*) Not this again, Itchy. Those creeps are neither real nor alive, we've been through this, you big puppy. (*gasps as he stops, along with Itchy*) Shh... Stay down, Itch'.

**Itchy:** What is it, Char...

**Charlie:** (*covers Itchy's mouth; whispers*) Shut up! Look. (*points to a black cat sitting on the fence*) One perfect target had caught my eyes, all alone. So be quiet, and stay down. TBD
