(coughing) Mwa! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Welcome to my castle, new friends. I’m Howlina, and you are in for a treat because it’s time to celebrate
my two favorite things in the world: Halloween and animals. You can’t have Halloween without animals! Picture for a moment the
most Halloweeny thing you can think of. That’s right, it’s a creepy crow on a roof watching you, going “caw!” Now picture the second
most Halloweeny thing. Yes, yes! It’s a little black cat
sitting on a broomstick, flying across th
e sky. And now the third most Halloweeny thing? Yes, an elephant dressed
like Dracula, of course! So join me as we meet some of the most Halloweeny animals around, like a bird who’s a real scream, (laughing) a dog with a thousand costumes and enough bats to fill
this entire castle. (laughing) Ooh, plus, one spooky spider. Ooh, here she comes now. Ooh, all right, that’s enough. She’s a little big. Big spider. Even for me, and I do like spiders. Now, you might be thinking, “Is this show gonna be s
pooky?” Yes, it is. But is it going to be too spooky? No, it won’t, because if things ever start to feel too spooky, I
have the perfect solution. This. My special “too spooky button.” This button is very rare, it’s the only one like it in the world. Just one little press and all
the spookiness disappears. Oh. Uh, heh, heh. Cobwebs! Ah! Go back to your room! You know, that scream made
me feel so much better. New plan: If you ever get
too scared during the show, you can scream like my good friend
Mo, the screaming pittie. All right, Mo, give us your best scream. (screaming) Mo, that was exquisite. Did you go to banshee school? Be honest. Yes, now, it’s our turn to scream like Mo. Ready? Set, scream! (screaming) Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s the spirits! I think we’re all ready to
have a howling good time, so let’s creep into the chilling world of Halloween frights and adorable animals with a movie. Delicious. You can’t have any, spider! (projector starting) [Narrator] Do you ever feel
like someone’
s watching you? Hmm. Yeah, sometimes [Narrator] Like someone’s following you and knows your every move? Hmm, come on. She’s just a dog. “Coconut. No!” And her name’s Coconut? What’s so scary about that? (whining) [Narrator] No matter where
you go, there she is. (screaming) [Narrator] Watching, waiting, zoomie-ing. “Lemme pet you! Lemme pet you!” Excuse me. This movie is too scary. [Narrator] Oh, oh. Sorry, sorry, sorry. No, no, don’t be scared. Look, she’s just a fluffy dog. OK, that’s good. [Na
rrator] Fluffy. And ferocious! (screaming) [Narrator] She looks
like man’s best friend, but maybe she’s everyone’s
worst nightmare! “Let’s all take a deep breath, OK?” (screaming) [Narrator] Whoops, sorry! I got too scary again. But remember, she’s so cute. Right, right. Aww, she’s so cute and cuddly. [Narrator] Until she gets ya! (screaming) She’s wild! “Coconut, please!” (screaming) [Narrator] She’s fuzzy! Aww! “No, have mercy!” (screaming) “Just spare me this once.” [Narrator] She’s... Coconu
t. “Are you gonna be good, Cokey? Or are you gonna be a bad Cokey?” (screaming) Is that spooky yet also
adorable dog gone yet? (sighing) All that yelling. I was starting to get a little hoarse. (neighing) Then again, there’s no quicker way to get in the Halloween
mood than a few good scares and a fabulous costume– (gasping) Cackling cauldrons, it’s nearly Halloween and I still haven’t picked out my costume. Let’s see, which animal
will I be this year? Oh, got it. To be a bee or not to be a
bee,
that is the question, and the answer is... nah. Hmm, walrus. More like walrusn’t. I love it, but I think I’m
gonna have to save this one for the next cute cow summer. Ugh. No, I can’t be a fish! There’s no trick-or-treating in the ocean. The fish are always in schools. Ooh! Magical creatures are fun, but I don’t wanna get too fired up. This is so treat-or-tricky. There’s just no way to pick
the perfect costume without — wait, I know. What I need is an expert, someone who knows
everything there i
s to know about making and wearing
Halloween costumes. A fabric maestro. A real thread magician. A true costume conjurer. Rory! Uh-oh! Do you hear that music? You know what that means! It’s time to strut your stuff
and walk the runway because it’s Halloween time, y’all, and the costumes are fierce! Especially with Rory, the Halloween costume queen. And you better believe she’s serving
wicked looks for breakfast, lunch and dessert! Work it, Rory! Every Halloween, Rory works with her fashion desig
ner,
Heather, aka Mom, to come up with the best costumes. I mean, look at this wardrobe. She’s got wigs! Headpieces! Even her leash is fashionable! With Heather’s help, Rory
can transform into anything. A dinosaur? Check! A cute cow? Check! A Christmas wreath?! Check, check, check! But despite these awesome costumes, Rory’s looks keep getting overlooked. You see, each year, Rory enters
every Halloween costume contest that she can, and each time, Rory loses. I know. It’s absurd. Like, how does th
is not win?!
She’s a seal with flippers! Like, can you even?! And how can we forget last year’s
unicorn of the sea?! Ahem, the narwhal?! This isn’t first place?! What?! Is this a joke?! Like, hello?! Look at that bow! And don’t get me started on this! A glamorous gargoyle! The wings. The horns. It looks so real. Like, I could literally see this
on the side of a building. But, alas, this Frenchie takes home
no awards. Rory, you must be so upset that you don’t
get the recognition you deserve. I am
upset on your behalf. But then again, look at you. You seem so happy. Sure, it’d be nice to win, but I guess
that’s not what it’s all about. It’s about having fun. But, I mean, seriously, I think
we have to have a word with the judges. Unless...what if...wait! What if WE were the judges?! Yeah! Yeah!! And we created our own Halloween costume contest...because we can! And then Rory would win! HA! OK! All right, OK! Places people! Ahem! Drum roll, please! The winner of this year’s
Halloween costu
me contest that we just made up is Rory! (Gasping) YAY! Oh my — Rory won?! Oh my goodness! Yay! The best in show! The Frenchie with fashion!
The queen of Halloween! I always knew you would win, Rory. I just had a feeling it would happen. Clearly, THESE judges
know what they’re talking about. Finally, Rory can take home
the trophy for best costume, and now she and Heather
can have the happiest Halloween. Woo! I’m so happy! Rory won our made-up costume contest, and she even helped me pick
out the
perfect costume. Can you guess what I am? I’m Rory! When Rory was a narwhal. (narwhal clicking) (chuckling) Now I’m finally
ready for Halloween, so let’s get back to some
real deal spookiness. It’s time to gaze into
the bright green peepers of a seriously creepy creature. A creature with fearsome
fangs, razor sharp claws, a creature who stalks the
night making everyone go (screaming) Look upon this creature and tremble. Oh, wait. What? This just looks like a cute
little kitty cat to me. Not even
the teeniest, tiniest bit spooky. Why would anyone be scared of him, right? Right? Let me tell you a spooky story.... Of Arlo! Who’s Arlo? Nobody knows for sure.... Some say he’s a creepy goblin. Or maybe a terrifying gargoyle! Or scariest of all.... He may be a housecat.... Who became spooky! And spookified his home! But before he started to haunt this house, it was quiet. Peaceful. A place where Nixie the dog could sleep soundly. That is, until spooky Arlo arrived! Aw, he used to be pretty cu
te, actually. So precious. Honestly, he’s still very cute. But also spooky! He’s lurking around every corner, waiting.... I guess I shouldn’t say “lurking,” really, since you’re only technically “lurking” if you’re hiding right before attacking- AHHH! Oh my goodness, I was not expecting that! He sneaks. He creeps. He leaps! Right onto poor Nixie. He bats her with his paws. He chews on his family! He even chews himself! The horror! And when he’s not attacking, Arlo is always looking for his next
victim. Maybe even you! If you see this beast lurking in your home, you will want to run away. But he is fast! Too fast to outrun! But do not fear. Instead, remember these simple tricks. And you might be able to escape. First, give him treats. Arlo cannot resist the taste of snacks. If he likes them, he will munch, and treat you nicely. He makes a kind of funny sound when he’s munching, too. [Arlo slurping sounds] Seriously, this cat can be very cute. But if he doesn’t like your snack gift, he’l
l get angry, and bat at it with his paw- Oh no! He hates it! Run! Run away! If that doesn’t work, give him a bath! He is helpless in water. [Arlo meows] Cry all you want, spooky kitty! Oh, he seems really spooky-mad! If all else fails, put him inside of a giant wheel! Well done, Nixie! And then, while he’s distracted - oh no! He left the wheel! Where is he? Nixie, have you seen - oh! Hey, Arlo! I was just kidding about all that “creepy monster” talk.... You’re a very good kitty - AHHH! Run away!
[laughing] Actually, this kinda tickles! Happy Halloween! OK, all right, I take it all back. Arlo was, without a doubt, the spookiest cat I
have ever laid eyes on. And I kinda... love him. I wish I had a cat like that
to creep around the castle, but there’s no room. Too many bats. Oh, I didn’t tell you about my bats? Bats are my all-time favorite animal. Yes, I love ’em! Oh, I mean the wings,
those eyes, the screeching. Eeee. Eeee. No, sorry, that’s not what
they sound like at all. (screaming)
Well, they also do not sound like that. Eeee. Why can’t I make the sound? Oh, I have an idea. Let’s go see some of my
friends who love bats just as much as I do, maybe even more. Whoa. That’s a lot. Anyway, they do whatever
it takes to keep bats safe because they’re not just bat
lovers, they’re bat rescuers. To the bat sanctuary! What are you doing down on the ground,
little guy? Shouldn’t you be with
the rest of your colony? Winee was all alone without his family
and really needed some help. Lu
ckily, Phillip and his rescue team
spotted Winee just in time and brought the scared baby
bat to their sanctuary. They knew exactly what he’d need to go
safely back into the wild. First things first: water! ’Cause who knows how long
he’d been out there on his own? Winee was like, “Phillip, I’m rather parched.” And Phillip was like, “I got you, Winee.” But Winee wasn’t only thirsty,
he was cold from being outside on his own for so long. And after all, he is a baby bat. He needs warmth. So Philli
p and his team
found the best spot for him: a cozy blanket! Snug as a bug in a rug. (bat chirping) I mean, a bat in a mat. You know what I mean! Even though Winee was finally comfortable,
there was still one thing missing: He needed to make friends. So it was time for him to just hang out. No, literally hang out with his bat buds! To make them feel
like they’re up in the trees again, Phillip put these little guys on... Ready for it? Clothes hangers! I know! Genius. At first, Phillip was worried
how Winee
and his bat buds would do outside. But once he saw them mixing and mingling,
he could tell they were loving it. They were starting their own colony. (laughing) What’s up, Winee? A few weeks later, Winee and his pals
were starting to grow teeth. And that meant it was time to introduce
some chewable foods. Like fruit. Who knows if they’d even like it—? OK! Nevermind. They love it! “Have you been into the paw paw?” “That paw paw?” As Winee and the others kept growing
into strong, beautifu
l bats, it was time for the
biggest moment of their lives: the release crate! Here, they could act
like a colony all on their own. Look! Winee has a family again. One big, happy, batty family! But pretty soon, Phillip
and his team were preparing for takeoff. Because Winee and his buddies
had grown so much and come so far, it was finally time for these guys
to say goodbye to the sanctuary and hello to the skies! Wow! They’re pros! (happy crying) It gets me every time! Now, Winee is no longer alon
e. He’s got a brand-new bat colony
that he can call home. And Phillip doesn’t
need to worry about missing them too much because as long as he provides the snacks, Winee and his colony come and go as they please. Oh, I just love a happy ending. I’m so glad they’re safe. (gasping)
Oh my gosh. What? They’re dancing? It’s a bat dance. ♪ Bat dance ♪ ♪ Now’s your chance ♪ ♪ Dance with a bat ♪ ♪ It’s a bat dance ♪ ♪ Bat dance ♪ ♪ Now’s your chance ♪ ♪ Dance with a bat ♪ ♪ It’s a bat dance ♪ ♪ Bat dance

Oh, oh, well, the bats are not dancing. Oh, the video’s just upside down. Ah, oh yes. There they are. Hanging from the ceiling
like normal bats do. I guess that makes more sense. I love those bats, but I’m ready to get back to being spooky. (screaming) Yes, exactly, Mo. We need something frightening.
Something fiendish,
something with feathers. (cackling) What was that? Shhh! Don’t make a sound, and don’t make any sudden movements! Oh my gosh! Did you hear that? She’s coming this way. AHHH! No matter where you run or where you hide, Molly the cockatoo will find you. And if you hear her menacing laugh, know that it’s already too late. “You’re being scary! What’re you doing?!” AHHH! OK, maybe I’m being a little dramatic. Molly isn’t some evil bird coming to gobble you up... Even if it seems t
hat way. She actually just loves
a good game of hide-and-seek. “You found us!” But sometimes this fun game
can get frightening, ’cause when you hear... it can send shivers down your spine! But Molly isn’t a bad bird, she’s just very silly! “You do it, Molly!” In fact, she’s the life of the party “Hello?!” and a total prankster. “Don’t do that!” Sorry. Let me get my phone. Ahhh, never mind. It’s just Molly...pranking me! She might sound scary, but Molly is a total sweetheart. Her family adopted h
er
when she was really little, and she was actually scared
of them at first. “Come here. Come here.” They knew if they gave her space,
she’d come around, and now she’s a total mush. Especially with her big brother! Actually, she’s kind of obsessed with him. “Molly, you got your boy?” “Yeah, you do. Are you so happy?” From dancing to their favorite songs, to cockatoo tickles, these two have a brother-bird bond
that can’t be broken. “Hi!” And if Molly’s not right by his side or right on his side,
she will find a way to be. Although Molly loves to cause a bit of mayhem, “Ow!” and might give you a fright, she’s really just a sweet, fluffy feather
ball of fun. “Are we on our daily hike? Huh?” And her family wouldn’t have it
any other way. “I love you, Molly.” Ha, ha, ha. I know, Molly’s such a hoot. Oh, sorry. You caught us off gourd. Wait, do you know Priscilla? We met at the pumpkin patch. You know how you go to the pumpkin patch and you find your soulmate? That’s Priscilla. Look, she’s p
erfectly
orange and perfectly round with the most perfectly sized
dent right under her nose. That’s where her nose is. I know, we’re totally #squashgoals. I get all mushy around her. But, you know, pumpkins go bad. And not like evil bad — well,
some pumpkins are evil. You know who you are. Luckily, I put a magic spell on her so she’ll stay perfectly good forever. I’ve had Priscilla since 11:37... this morning, and she still looks great. (sighing) I hope everyone finds their
perfect pumpkin on Ha
lloween. Ollie the dog sure did, and then he got a little
more than he bargained for. Come on, Priscilla, let’s watch together. What’s that? Oh, this is gonna help. Now you can see. You look adorable. Wait! Stop everything, look over here! “Whatcha doing, Ollie?” I just found the most perfect pumpkin in the whole patch. “Is that the pumpkin you want?” It’s the pumpkin I need. And we will never, ever be apart again. “Look at this sleeping
boy with his pumpkin.” Can I help you? “Oh, I’m sorry.” (l
aughing) “Did I disturb you?” Yes. “Are you having some alone time” “with your special pumpkin?” I am. Now, if you’ll excuse us, it’s nap time, and Pumpkin is pooped. From now on, it’ll be me and you, Pumpkin. Just a dog and his slightly smaller and orangier best friend. What could ever change? Oh no, the stem! What have I done? Now how am I gonna carry — But I can’t — Fix this, Mom! Is that a Perfect Pumpkin Pick-Up Pouch? You did it! Now we can go wherever we want. “Chop chop!”
Can’t go too fa
st. There’s no seatbelt in this thing. Time to get chilly again. Gotta stay fresh. What’s wrong? Why are you poking him like that? What do you mean he’s gone bad? “Come here.”
Why? “Here, look at this one.” “Look!” “There’s another pumpkin.” Wow. “Are you gonna check it out?” “Oh, good boy, do you like it?” No.
“Oh.” (laughing) “You’re not even gonna look at it.” Not even a little. “Does that one offend you, Ollie?” I want my pumpkin.
“Oh dear.” I can almost smell him now, as we walk together on
the road, and on the lawn, and on the road again. We mostly did a lot of walking, I guess. Mom sounds like she’s up to something. I hear pumpkin sounds. Something fishy is going on here. “OK.” “Take it.” Oh, Pumpkin, there you are. Oh boy, I’ve missed you. “Is he gonna notice?” I really have been walking... An imposter! What is this? What are you doing in my
Perfect Pumpkin Pick-Up Pouch? “What?” I don’t know what you want me to do with this thing. I can’t believe you tried to trick me. As if a
nyone could replace — Oh, hey, you’re kinda squishy. You fit right in my arms. “I’d call that a successful mission.” Look how much we can walk together, just like the good old days. From now on, it’s you and
me, new squishy pumpkin. And I’ll never need
anything else at all forev— Wait, I smell something
suspicious in the other room. Another basket with a furry thingy in it? You’re sort of pumpkin-sized, but you don’t smell like a pumpkin at all. And you seem like you want to play. Wait, stay rig
ht there.
I have something for you. This is my pumpkin. You can’t keep it, but
we can play together. And you know what Mom said? We just might be having a lot
more pumpkins around here. Ooh, look at this one. And those ones and this one! I’m gonna take the best care of them. And don’t worry, if they don’t grow, Mom knows how to fix them. Neat! I wonder if Ollie will give me one of his pumpkins next year? Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, sweetie,
I’m not gonna replace you. You will always be my perfect pu
mpkin. But you know what they say.
“Pumpkins are like laughter — more is always better!” (laughing) That Molly. Ha, ha, ha. You know what else you can
never have too much of? (screaming) No, not screams. Spookiness and animals. I’m having so much fun. I hope this show never ends.
(doorbell ringing) (gasping) Someone or
something is at the door. “Trick-or-treat!” Trick-or-treaters! Oh! OK, places everyone.
You know what to do. No, no, no. What? No, we agreed, treats this year! Go get the candy bo
wl! As you can see, I’ve got
my hands full around here, so sadly, the show must end. I hope your Halloween is
filled with cuddly creatures and monstrous joy. Mwa! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Happy Halloween! Oh, look at me. Oh my gosh, I’m a bat. Oh, look how cute I am. Am I the cutest bat you’ve ever seen? Be honest. OK. Ahem. Eeee. Uhh. (coughing) How can I still not make the sound? I am literally a bat. Oh, this is not fair. Let me try again. Eeee. Eee. Eh. Like and subscribe for more. Mwa, ha, ha, h
a, ha. OK, how do I change back
into regular Howlina?
