ParaNorman (2012) Movie Script

Brainz..
What is happening now?
The zombie is eating
her head, Grandma.
That's not very nice.
What's he doing that for?
Because he's a zombie.
It's what they do.
He's going to ruin his dinner.
I'm sure if they
bother to sit down
and talk it through it would
be a different story.
Norman! Didn't I told you to
take out the garbage?
Yeah coming dad.
Tell him to turn up the
thermostat too, will you?
My feet are like ice.
- Come on fit you stupid...
- Hi.
- What are you watching in there?
- Sex and Violence.
Ohh.. That's nice.
Can't you be like other kids your age?
and pitch a tent in the yard or
have a healthy interesting carpentry.
- Perry.
- I thought you said kids my age...
are too busy shop lifting
and joy ridding.
Norman...
He's like R-I-P-P-E-D.
Like a 7 pack at least.
- Watch it!
- Courtney, be nice.
Yeah she totally doesn't
deserve him. I mean..
She's nice and I really like her,
but she's a complete loser.
- Yeah, I know.
- Hey. Dad?
Grandma said, can you
turn up the heating?
Her feet are cold.
Now Perry?
How many times do we have
to go through this, son?
- Your grandmother is dead!
- I know.
Then why you keep
on talking to her?
- Because she talks back?
- OMG.
- You're such a liar.
- I'm not making this up.
I swear! She talks to me all the time.
Oh yeah? Prove it!
She said it's not very lady
like to hide photos of the
high school quarterback with his shirt
up in your underwear drawer.
I knew it. You've been sneaking
around my personal...
No I haven't. Grandma told me.
You're the worst.
Norman, I know you
and Grandma were very close,
but we all have to move on.
Grandma is in a better place now.
No she's not.
She is in the living room.
Your grandma was old and
sick, and she died.
That's all there is to it!
Okay, Perry. This is part
of the mourning process.
Stop indulging him.
I'm nothing if I'm not liberal,
but this behavior needs
to be nipped in the bud.
This behavior might be okay
with your side of the family,
but I'm not putting up with
it anymore. Not me.
- Not this again.
- This isn't the west coast, Sandra.
- People talk, they do.
- He's just sensitive, Perry.
Please. Sensitive is writing poetry
and be lousy at sports. Not this.
I wont let him turn up
into that uncle of yours.
If that crazy old tramp
has been around here
- putting ideas in Norman's head..
- Perry,
No one had to do with
Uncle Prenderghast in years
I bet he doesn't even knows
what Norman looks like.
Not much time.
Not much time.
PARANORMAN.
Good Morning!
Hey Bruce how it's going?
No much..
I kinda late for school, I need to go.
Hi, nice to see you guys.
Good morning!
Sorry, I got to run.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
See ya.
Hey there little buddy
Come on, come here.
Yeah good to see you.
How are you doing?
Hi, Mrs. Harmon.
You look nice today.
I like what you've
done with your hair.
Does anyone smell burning?
- Peace man.
- Totally.
- As you were soldier.
- Sir yes sir.
Norman. You playing hookie?
No, I'm just late for school,
sorry. I gotta go.
- How are you doing?
- Hi, how are you doing?
Hi! How is it hanging?
Haven't heard that one before.
Watch and learn. Parking
violation is my little name.
- Suck it in sweety.
- No, your gut.
There you go.
FREAK
Hey, ghost jerk,
you know what?
What you want, Alvin?
Why dont you see some
more ghosts, goober?
Hey, Norman.
Talk to that.
That's so Alvin. Right?
Flies dont talk.
Neil, come on.
Let's go.
You stink of illiteracy.
Pilgrims, the myth..
Dont any of you know anything
about the history of this town?
Puritans were strict and devout.
Who came here to build a
home, a place without sin.
What is it now, Salma?
Why is the witch always the hideous
old with ponytail and a broomstick?
I dont believe this is historically
accurate, Mrs. Henscher.
It's not suppose to be.
It's suppose to sell
postcards and key chains.
So let's try it again.
Cover page 6, Norman.
"The founding fathers of
live hollow discovered
- an evil which among them.."
- No, no, Norman.
With gusto. Like this.
"They put her on trial
and hanged her.
But the vengeful witch cursed
her accuser, 7 of them
in all, to die have a
horrible and gruesome
death and rise from
the graves...
as the living dead!
Their souls...doomed
To an eternity of damnation. "
Now, I want you to try again
but with conviction.
My reputation is at stake here
and I wont have this turn out like...
Norman!
Are you listening to me, boy?
- Sorry, Mrs. Henscher.
- So am I.
Now, unless there's any other
issues, let's us resume.
They put her on trial and hang her.
This is my moment.
Fell, Baby!
- Sorry.
- You useless bunch of...
See you tomorrow, FREAK!
Norman, wait up.
I keep telling you, Neil.
I like to be alone.
So do I. Lets do it together.
You shouldn't let them get you down.
They always do stuff like that to me.
- Why?
- Because I'm fat.
My allergies, make my eyes leak
and I sweat when I walk in class.
And I have a lunchbox
with a kitten on it.
And I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
I guess it's a bunch of stuff.
- Doesn't it bother you?
- No.
You can't stop bullying.
It's part of human nature.
If you were bigger and more stupid,
you'd probably be a bully too.
It's called survival
of the biggest.
That statue just "psssst" at us.
Do you know who I am?
The weird, stinky old bum
who lives up the hill?
I was asking him!
Yeah... I know.
I was told not to talk to you. Sorry.
And you know why you're
not suppose to talk to me?
I can see ghosts too.
and I know that's not all
you've been seeing lately is it?
Bad omens. Things you
can't quite explain.
Strange vision appearing
through the veil.
and I'll bet no one told you about
the witch's curse. Did they?
Actually, we're learning
about it in school.
I'm a tree!
There's something
you really need to know,
is the most important
thing you will ever hear,
the fate of everyone depends on it.
Now listen close, the
witch's curse is real!
And it is you're the one
who has to stop it.
You gotta use your gift...
of talking...
Because if you don't...
This is the most important
thing of all...
You can...
You can...
You. ..
Leave him alone.
Don't make me throw this
hummus. It's spicy!
This is ain't done with.
You'll see it soon enough.
Watch for the sign.
What a dirty old creep.
He is my uncle.
- So is it true?
- What?
Can you see ghosts, like,
everywhere all the time?
Yeah..
Awesome!
Do you think you could
see my dog, Bub?
He was ran over by
an animal rescue van.
It was tragic and ironic.
We buried him in the yard,
could you see him?
- Maybe.
- Sweet! Come on!
- Come on!
- Neil? Is that you?
Hey Mitch. We're going to go play
with the dead dog in the garden
and we're not going
to dig it up first.
What did you say?
Neil, isn't he that weird kid
You know "I'm talking to ghosts,
so people don't pay attention to me."
Can you stop doing that?
It's kind of stupid.
Now listen to me,
you don't need to be hanging
out with weird people okay
That's a tip.
Dont blow this for me, Mitch.
This one is not weird.
He talks to dead people.
He's around here somewhere.
So does everyone comeback as a ghost?
No. ..
My grandma told
me it's usually
people who still have
stuff to figure out.
or sometimes it's the one who
dies suddenly or in a bad way.
- Bub?
- Is he there? How he looks?
Good.
He's happy to see you.
Who's the good boy?
Good boy!
- Can he feels if I pet him?
- Yeah I guess.
That's not his chin.
Go get it!
- He can't fetch it, you know?
- Well it's still fun.
Good boy!
Bring it back.
Go get it, Bub! Good boy!
Why not you try?
I'm sorry, I don't really...
You can go.
No it's fun, try it
- No I don't wan to!
- You can throw it! It's really easy
It's really fun!
Here, you go first.
No you try it, I've already
went like 50 times.
Okay, what do I do?
You throw, get the stick,
pull back and you throw it.
Neil?
Sorry.
I fetch it!
Are you okay?
I'll show him and that
scary little fat kid.
When he realizes we're
running out of...
No. Not yet. Not yet!
Damn.
No! I dont wanna go!
I want to go home.
I don't wanna go!
Great. Now we never get to
remember this moment.
You sucks.
I curse you accusers to die a
horrible and gruesome death
and rise from your graves
as living-dead.
Your souls doomed to
an eternity of damnation.
Kill the witch! Kill the witch!
Aren't they adorable?
Kill the witch! Kill the witch!
What?
What?
No. Not again.
This way! Over here!
Witch, we know you're out there!
- There!
- No!
Witch...
The dead are coming.
Hi, buddy.
Are you okay?
The dead are coming!
Norman!
Did he said that the
dead are coming?
- No, no.
- Yes! The tree told me!
This is where it stops.
It's one thing being mental
case in front of your family.
But not the whole freaking town.
There's not going to be
anymore talking to ghosts
or your grandma's
or what is it now...
I think it's tree.
You are grounded.
Do you hear me?
This is ridiculous. I wish everyone
could see what I see.
I don't ask to be born this way.
Funny. Neither did we.
You know sometimes people say
things that seem mean,
but they do it because
they are afraid.
He's my dad. He shouldn't
be afraid of me.
He's not afraid of you.
He's afraid for you.
Look! It's AbNorman!
What did the tree tell today, Norman?
Are dead coming sooner or later?
You died?
Yeah, but I got unfinished
business here.
Couldn't you use another stall?
My ghost isn't going anywhere
until I pass on my duty to another.
And that would be you.
Me? No, you must have it wrong.
It's you alright
I've been holding back the
witch's curse for years,
but now I'm dead.
It has to be you.
But I... I don't know
what any of it means.
It means the past is
coming back to haunt you.
Time is running out.
The Anniversary of the
Witch's death is tonight.
Her ghost is going to wake
up and when she does
She'll rise the dead.
You got to keep her in her grave
But I'm just a kid!
How am I suppose to stop it?
Read from the book at the
spot the witch was buried.
What book?
The one in my hands.
Not these hands,
my other hands.
The me that is at home in my studies
starting to smell a little funny
Get the book and read from it.
Before the sun sets, tonight.
But this is crazy
Do I look crazy to you ?
- Tell me you do this
- I...
Swear!
- I mean like the "F" word?
- I mean promise.
Okay. I promise.
- That will do.
- No, Mr. Prenderghast wait.
Sorry kid, I'm done here.
I'm free! I'm finally free!
Wait! No, you can't leave now!
Please, I don't understand.
Yeah, you might want to
give that a few minutes.
Norman?
Hey, what's the big deal?
Don't twist it fat boy,
this has nothing to do with you,
- so keep out of my way.
- Or what?
Or I'll punch their boobs.
I dont have boobs,
these are pectorals.
My boobs!
You're dead, freakshow.
Do you hear me?
D-E-T, dead!
You're going to be so dead
that you're going to talk to
yourself when you're dead.
I really don't think we
should be leaving him.
Perry you promised me a meal
in someone else's microwave.
He's probably up there right now,
fiddling with his weejah or his orbs
or whatever it is he's got up there.
This is not good.
Come to the window!
Want to play some hockey?
You know, I kinda got other
things on my mind right now.
It's all about that walking
dead stuff again?
Mr. Prenderghast appeared
to me in the bathroom.
- Eww.
- No, his spirit.
He said that the witch's
curse is real,
I have to go to the old
graveyard and stop it
Before the sunset tonight!
So, you wanna come play a bit later?
Didn't you hear what I just said?
Yeah, but I thought my idea has
less likely to get us eaten.
Just go home, Neil, I'll be better
off on my own anyway.
- But...
- Go home!
Who rattle your chain?
No one.
Dad says I'm not to talk
to you anymore, grandma.
Jackass
If I was a poltergeist, I'll
throw something at his head.
You know, by rights...
I'm suppose be frolicking in
paradise with you grandfather.
- But I'm not.
- So why did you stay?
I was never one for frolicking,
but there's no cable or
fun up there either
Besides, I promised I
always look out for you.
- So it's your duty.
- In a manner of speaking.
- And you will do it no matter what.
- Of course!
Even if it was something
really scary?
There is nothing wrong
with being scared, Norman,
So long as you don't
let it change who you are.
So I said to her: "Girl come back
and talk to me when
your basket toss gets 12,000
hits on YouTube."
No I said that.
Yeah, I'm stuck on lame patrol.
Tonight going to be totally on.
Norman!
You better not be sneaking
out, you little weirdos...
Hello?
Mr. Prenderghast?
Come on.
Darn it!
Let go!
Come on..
HERE LIE BURIES THE SEVEN
VICTIMS OF THE WITCH'S CURSE 1712
This is it.
Read from the book, stop the curse,
go home, pretend this never happened.
"Once upon a time,
in a far off land
there lives a king and a queen
in a magnificent castle."
What? A fairy tale?
- What have you got there, geerkilla?
- No, give it back!
Can't wait to see everybody faces
- when they hear about this one.
- Don't!, Alvin!
Hey nobody makes me
miss up a possible date
with a girl that almost had some
interest in talking to me.
Yeah? Thought so
You've got nothing to say.
- Oh-ow.
- Dang straight "Oh-Ow."
That's what happen when
Alvin gets around here.
"Oh-ow, is that Alvin?"
"Oh-ow Alvin going to make me
run home to mommy."
Oh-ow.
- What is that?
- It's her.
Once.. Once ..
Once upon a time...
In a far off...
Once upon a time...
- In a...
- Stop reading that please.
It's not working!
Stop!!
Stop?
You must stop.
- What?
- Norman, what are you doing?
I think I peed my pants.
Wait.
- Neil, can you get the door?
- I'm busy.
Are you freeze framing mom's
aerobics DVD again?
No!
Neil, would it kill you to get off your
butt, and answer the door?
God.
I'm going to kill them!
I know you are in there.
A slumber party is over, dorks.
Can I help you?
Yes
Sorry to bug you so late,
Does...
Neil live here?
- Yeah, he's my brother.
- That's great.
Your brother and my brother
are like best friends.
I'm Courtney.
Hey Neil, could you
come here a minute?
There's a girl asking for you.
Hey there.
How are you doing, little guy.
- Neil?
- Yeah, Neil.
Do you know where Norman is?
He is kind of disappeared.
Oh no. No Idea!
I have no idea where he is.
Sorry. Goodbye.
Neil, better start talking buddy.
I didn't really think he was serious
about going up to the
old graveyard on his own.
That's so Norman.
Oh man, that place is bad news.
It's like a total slasher movie vibe.
Why did he go up there?
I dont know, maybe
we should go look for him.
I told you he was trouble.
Sorry, but I did.
No, it's fine. He's sucks.
But I gotta really
make sure he doesn't
you know die or anything tonight
Would you help me?
Please.
Okay.
I guess I should go get
some clothes on
Is Norman in trouble?
Are they gonna try eat our brains?
I think you'd be safe.
Thank God.
I don't get it. Why didn't it work?
The story of "Sleeping Beauty"?
This doesn't makes any sense.
Where...Where you going?
Mr. Prenderghast, I don't understand.
Just tell me what to do.
Dude, what are you doing?
He told me to read form the
book to stop the curse.
I thought it was a spell
or something, but...
Come on... It has to be something.
We really need... to get home...
because I got a seriously early curfew
- Seven victims.
- My mom gets..
- Seven... Oh no.
- really upset... When I'm not...
Okay we got to defend ourselves.
We got to shoot them in the head...
Come on, come on...
With like some sort of silver
bullets or something...
- Seven victims... Seven graves...
- I'm way too awesome to get eaten
Why aren't you listening to me?
- We really got to do something!
- The witch's grave...
It wasn't there.
I was reading the book
in the wrong place.
- Hide!
- What?
Come on.
And she said: "I could
totally consider
a career in information
swimming."
But I was like, "I want to
do something like that helps
people that's less fortunate,
thank you very much."
You know, like the poor or...
People who are dying.
or ugly or something...
I really think that ecology
and world peace are
like totally important today.
Do you use "free weight"?
Because you deltoids are huge.
I've never use deltoids in my
life, I swear, you can test me.
Kill me now.
Thank you for doing this, Mitch.
He means a lot to me, you know?
I love him like he's a brother.
He is your brother.
Look at that sky.
Look out!
No.
That was Norman!
Is everyone okay?
- No.
- No.
Hello, sir?
Is he dead or what?
I don't know.
He's not moving.
He's still breathing.
So he's okay?
Not exactly.
What? What did you just said?
Does anyone knows CPR or..
Run!
- Did you see that?
- That was insane.
I know right, I kicked
that like a 100 yard
Norman, what just happened?
Zombies, I swear, Okay?
We saw them burst out of
their graves for real
Just so you know
I totally saved his life.
and I could totally save yours.
Sorry, who are you?
Guys maybe we should
actually drive away now.
Oh right.
Pesky kids with their phones.
Burning up the ozone.
That's what it is.
What the..
Just knew something like this
was going to happen tonight.
You did? Because that zombie
bit really threw me.
Why had to go and get everyone
involve in all your weird stuff.
You weren't suppose to
follow me, were you.
Sorry, my fault.
When I get nervous I
get mouth diarrhea.
Diarrhea?
My God. I think I'm
having an aneurysm.
- This is so typical of you.
- No, you don't understand,
I'm the only one who can
stop this, Courtney.
I understand . I understand that
this all getting completely out of...
Hand!
What do we do?
What do we do? Mitch?
- I don't know. I don't know.
- You're the oldest.
Not mentally.
Oh great, cops
Pull over the vehicle.
Norman, how do we stop them?
I'm suppose to read from the
book at the witch's grave.
We got to go back to the graveyard?
She wasn't bury with the others.
I don't know where else to look.
Well you better think of
something quick.
I have an idea.
So, Norman, let me get this straight.
You guys all go on this big
supernatural adventure
and you're calling me in
the middle of the night,
because you need someone
to help do your homework.
Yeah.
Please, we need to find out
where the witch is buried.
Oh no..
I went to the old grave yard
but her grave wasn't there.
People found guilty of witchcraft
weren't considered people anymore.
Norman, your witch was
buried some place else.
In an unmarked grave.
Mitch, do something.
If you care to pay attention
some of the time,
you would know that we covered
this in 5th grade history class.
Salma, please hurry.
Oh no.
You know I would google
this myself if it wasn't
a 300 years old dead guy
trying to rip my face off.
Okay. It says here
she was tried in the old
Town Hall on Main Street.
There maybe a record of her
execution and burial in the archives.
Quick she said goes to the Town Hall.
My God!
I really think it might
help if you tried
to see things from
his point of view.
- I dont want to.
- Perry...
Not believing in the afterlife is
like not believe in astrology.
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Seriously!
Where did you learn that?
Calm down.
Delinquent drivers
Where are the police
when you need them?
- Oh-My-God!
- I broke a nail.
I'm gonna be sick. Yeah..
Alvin the zombies slayer.
I got your...
Baby...
I'm so sorry, you'll be alright.
We gonna get through this together.
- Come on.
- Oh yeah.
Perfect! Now the geeks are in charge.
THE LUCKY WITCH CASINO
Oh yeah..
See, I told you: zombies!
It's the witch's curse!
Momma?
What?!
What should we do?
- Kill them in the head!
- Yes!
Hurry this way.
This is awful.
The zombies are like eating everyone!
HISTORIC TOWN HALL
Come on.
Is everyone all right?
Nobody got bitten?
I bit a tongue, is that count?
Does anyone know how to pick a lock?
Of course. Picking locks is my thing.
CRIME PREVENTION SEMINAR
Boom!
- This is it!
- This is?
Now we can find out where
the witch is buried?
Great! I'm super psyched.
This is turning to the
most fun night ever.
Man, zombies takes over the world and
we locked ourselves in a library,
are you kidding me?
There's an adult video store
just across the street
This will be a piece
of cake, you'll see.
Page... 1.
- Okay, page one.
- I really hate this place.
- Come on, push!
- Come on, that is not it.
Time is running out.
make room for no more
zombies in this town!
Yes...
Would've been a quiet night too
if it hadn't been for that meddling kids.
What do you think you're
doing firing at civilians?
- That is for the police to do.
- No, no. It's okay, sheriff.
We're only been shooting
at the dead ones.
It's the living dead
came to take us to hell
we got stop them before they get away.
TOWN HALL
Move along now people
There isn't anything to see here.
I saw them! I saw them!
They're in the Town Hall.
Drive havoc and let's
leap the dogs of war.
Let's rip them apart!
We're not going to
find it here, Norman.
This is useless.
Yeah, I know.
And it's also really boring.
I thought I was driving the van,
no one told me I was going
to do this other dumb stuff.
If I known it was so
much reading involved,
I would've bring a completely
different group of people who hate me.
Yes..
Book no 1 finish, that is 26 pages.
Oh yeah.
I can't believe this is your plan.
I'm going to get bitten and
start eating brains...
- Guys!
- I'm suppose to be vegan.
There's something moving out there.
I think it's the zombies.
Hide!
Oh no it's not, it's just grownups.
Hide!
That sound... Do you
know what that is?
- That's not awesome things
- Guys, come on.
- Just give it up you wheener.
- No, we have to keep trying.
We've tried and look
what happened.
I'm scared, Norman and I can't
listen to this anymore.
You never listen.
No one ever listens.
I am scared too,
but I still got to do this.
I do to listen. Whatever it was
you just said, it's not working.
You think you're gonna go out there
and do your talking to the dead thing
and this all going to be okay? What..
What're you going to do?
Ask the zombies to not eat you?
I should've known you
wouldn't understand.
No one ever does.
Norman, you need to stop
all this weird stuff.
- and start living in the real world.
- Everyone in the real world
thinks I'm a freak. And you know
what maybe they're right.
Maybe I am a freak, but I never
asked for their help.
Just go! Get out!
That was dramatic.
Come on!
I'm not going anywhere,
You can't make me
- Dude, you're really heavy.
- I'm not speaking to you.
Excuse me... Hello?
They're in there,
I can feel it's flesh!
Hello?
Help! Somebody help me.
Let's burn them out.
We're all going to die.
Oh my Gosh! Do you think this has
anything to do with Norman?
- Of course not.
- Everyone, look!
Perry, do something!
Norman, get down from
there this instant
You're supposed to be grounded.
Horrible old witch.
Is this what you want?
- Necromancer!
- This is all history.
Norman!
"Once upon a time, in a...
In a far land, there live
a king and a queen.
In a magnificent castle."
Why won't you listen to me?
Why are you doing this?
..Prenderghast.
of his majesty province
of Massachusetts.
On this day, you have
been arraigned
for the horrible crime of witchcraft.
Witnessed by whose testimonies
have been heard.
You have by this court been found...
- Guilty.
- No.
And it is passed on you,
according to your grieves crime...
Execution.
No.
Do you have anything
to say, for yourself?
I was only playing.
With fire?
You were speaking with the dead.
- Wait.
- No.
I can't stand this damnation
on these good peoples.
No you can't do this.
I didn't do anything wrong.
You are to be taken to the
place of execution...
Where you'll be hanged by
the neck until you be dead.
Stop! If you don't,
I'll make you sorry
I'll make all of you sorry.
How could you?
She was just a little kid.
She was no different from me.
Keep away from me.
You must stop the curse.
What?
You don't want to kill me?
You can speak to the dead.
To us.
To her.
We need you to read from the book.
to send us all back to the graves.
But it didn't work.
It's a fairy tale.
It's just a bedtime story.
That's it, isn't it?
A bedtime story to keep a little
girl asleep for another year.
And now you need my help,
because I'm the only one
who can read it to her?
Here's your book.
Try reading it yourself.
Why did you do it?
We were scared.
Of what?
Of her.
I believe we were doing what was right
But I was wrong.
Now, this is our punishment.
We thought we knew our way in life
But in death we're lost.
Please help us.
Every year, someone read
this story to her grave.
Before me, it was Mr. Prenderghast.
before him, there were others
The curse doesn't ever go away.
Nothing gets better.
It's not enough.
What will you do?
Something nobody ever did before.
I've got to go talk to her.
Guys, under here.
Mitch, Mitch, if we die tonight,
this may be the last chance
I get to tell you how I feel.
Well no unless we get brought back
a zombies and then technically,
we live longer.
Norman?
Come on, this way.
You've got to be kidding me.
You stay right where you are!
You may be dead already,
but I'll still shoot you!
- Wait.
- Oh my Gosh!
- Son, step away from the zombies.
- No, I won't
Perry, calm down.
You gonna have a heart attack
and the what're going to do?
I'll comeback and haunt Norman.
Maybe then he'll start
listening to me.
No. You don't understand
what's happening here.
I spoke to them, and it's
not what you think.
The curse isn't about the
zombies hurting you.
It's about you hurting them.
I've figure it out and I know
a way to stop this.
He's in league with them.
Let's hang him.
We can't hang him, stupid.
It's the 21st century.
Then let's burn him.
Can you stop being a mob
for just 1 minute
- Listen to me...
- Get them before they eat us.
Leave him alone!
Hand, Alvin, my hand!
Everybody, listen up!
You all need to stop trying
to kill my brother!
You're adults!
Stop it! I know that this seems crazy.
Believe me, I am with you on that.
But I think he does actually
know what he's talking about.
All night, he's been
trying to save you,
from the witch's curse.
Yes, yes. And all
what do you want to do is
burn and murder stuff
Just burning and murdering.
Yeah, shame on every single one of you
How dare you all?
So they're not going to hurt us?
No.
Does it looks like any of them
are trying to hurt you?
They're just people.
Well, at least used to be.
Just stupid people who
should've known better.
They did something
unforgivable.
Because they were scared.
And they were cursed for it.
Now it's happening
all over again.
Don't you get it?
They were just like you.
But now it has to stop.
For good.
What is her problem?
Norman.
So what do we do now?
- I really don't know.
- Yes you do Norman.
You got to get to
that witch's grave.
- But...
- But nothing.
You listen to me, buster.
We didn't turn away
When Dale Ridge High slaughter
our volleyball team, did we?
- I thought we did
- No, we didn't.
I've cheered the uncheerable Norman.
I'm letting you give up now.
- Dad, can I borrow the car?
- Excuse me?
The traffic tonight..
Norman, he on my side of the seat.
She wants you to move over.
I heard that. Mom, tell the zombie
not to stop say stuff about me.
Can you quit using the 'Z' word
Can you stop..
So help me I will stop
this car right now
if all three of you don't
quit it this instant.
He said take a left here.
We've been this way.
We're going around circles.
Maybe we should pull
over and ask someone.
Right, you think maybe we should
stop at a graveyard
and dig up some other
eighteenth century corpses?
It's not a bad idea.
I wish I understood you.
Please don't tell me he
needs to use the bathroom.
Turn down there.
Oh my, do you think that is it?
So...
Why are we here?
Someone got to talk to her dad.
Yeah, and why is that
person you exactly?
Oh my goodness! Look out!
Mom!
Perry! Do something.
I am trying.
Kick it
Norman?
I'm okay, Mom!
Just wait for me here. Don't worry.
Be careful!
Hello?
You're not welcome here.
Go away!
I really need to speak with you.
Who are you?
I'm Norman.
Norman Babcock.
You don't actually know me, but...
I know you.
We're actually kinda the
same you and I.
You're not dead.
No, apart from that...
And you're a boy.
Yes that too.
You're not like me at all.
- Well, I know how you feel.
- No, you don't!.
You don't know anything about me.
I know your name is
Agatha Prenderghast.
What?
And I know you
probably tired, right?
Because I mean it's really late, and..
It's been a long night.
And we're like only
I don't want to go to sleep.
And you can't make me.
I burned the book into dust.
Now I don't have to that
stupid story anymore.
Leave me alone!
No. I'm not leaving.
Just listen to me.
Once upon a time, long ago,
- there was a little girl.
- What?
A little girl who was different...
Who was different form any
other people in her village.
I'm not listening!
She could see and do things
that nobody could understand.
And that make them scared of her.
- I don't like this story!
- She turned away from everyone.
and became sad and lonely.
- and had no one to turn to.
- Stop it!
The more she turn away
from the people,
the more scared they were of her.
And they did something terrible.
They became so scared,
that they took her away
- and they killed her!
- No!
But even though she was dead,
- something in her came back.
- Stop!
And this part of her wouldn't go
- away after 300 years.
- Shut up!
The longer it stays, the less
there was of the little girl
- I'll make you stop it!
- Why?
Because...Because...
Because you want everyone to
hurt just as much as you are
So whenever you wake up,
you play this mean game.
But you don't play fair!
They hurt me!
So you hurt them back?
I wanted everyone to see
how rotten they were.
You're just like them, Agatha!
- No, I'm not!
- You're a bully!
No, I'm not!
They did something awful, but...
It doesn't mean you should too
All that's left of you now
is mean and horrible
- It's not true!
- Then stop.
This is wrong and you know it!
You spent so long remembering
the bad people,
and you forgot the good one.
There must've been
somebody who loved you
and cared for you.
- You don't remember them?
- Leave me alone!
But you're not alone.
- You have to remember.
- Get away from me!
Remember!
Aggie...
My name was Aggie.
I...
I remember...
My mommy brought me here once.
We sat under the tree
and she told me stories.
They all had happy endings.
And then those horrible
men came and took me away.
And I never saw her again.
Sometimes when people get scared
they say and do horrible things.
I think you got so scared that...
You forgot who you are.
But I don't think you're a witch.
Not really.
You don't?
I think you're just a little kid
with a really special gift.
Who only wanted people
to understand her.
So we're not all that different at all.
But...
What about the people who hurt you?
Don't you ever want
to make them suffer?
Well yeah, but...
What good would that do?
You think just because
there's bad people out there,
there's no good one either?
I thought the same thing for a while.
But there's always someone
out there for you
Somewhere.
I just want my mommy...
I'm sorry, Aggie.
She's gone.
That story you were telling...
How does it ends?
I think that's up to you.
Is this where they buried me?
It's a pretty good place to sleep.
So you can be with your mom again.
Sleep tight.
Norman!
Norman!
My brave little man!
I thought I was going to lose you.
Mom..
- You're embarrassing me.
- That's my job.
Good job, Norman.
Well done, son. You did it.
So....
- We're gonna need statements
- No!
- That's my finger nail.
- You what that's like...
You joins a mobs and you say things.
I was merely inhabiting the robe.
Yeah, it was the other,
they push me into it.
Yeah, you know what me and
Norman are a lot in the same class
We're pretty much inseparable,
best buds.
We do a lot of psychic
investigation together.
We've a blog actually,
you should check them out.
So, I was thinking if we could
catch a movie sometimes.
- Nothing scary
- That sounds great, Cathie.
You know, you're going
to love my boyfriend.
Hes like a total chick flick nut.
- Hey, Neil.
- You did it!
You stop the witch's curse and
made the zombies goes away.
- You did pretty much everything!
- I guess.
I just wanted to say thanks.
You stood by me all the time.
Yeah of course! Don't get
weird or anything...
So you think now everything
gonna turn back to normal?
Well .. As normal as it could be.
- Stop it!
- Whose lives have ruined
by last night mystery tornado.
But first, here's Mady Reiniger,
with a kitten on roller skates.
- Son.
- Hi, Dad.
- What are you watching?
- A scary movie.
Ah yeah...
Your grandma here, is she?
Right, of course she is.
Is she...
Is she sitting next to me?
Hi, mom.
So, what's happening now?
