00:00 (children screaming)
00:03 The park was called Playland, and it was the best.
00:08 You could laugh and scream and get scared to death on rides
00:13 and stuff up on junk food and ditch your parents,
00:17 all in one night.
00:18 And there was a spook house called Laughing in the Dark.
00:24 (growling)
00:28 (screaming)
00:30 (growling)
00:33 (screaming)
00:57 (screaming)
00:59 - That's all, I'm gone.
01:03 - What's the matter?
01:04 - I was just getting started.
01:06 This is a clown story, I hate clowns.
01:09 They're creepy, they give me nightmares.
01:11 Where's my thermos?
01:12 - Oh, oh, I heard of that.
01:13 They call it bozo-phobia.
01:16 - Guess we finally found something wrong with Miss Perfect.
01:20 - Ooh.
01:20 - Hey, I didn't say it.
01:24 (light music)
01:27 - Go ahead, do your worst.
01:38 - Go on, Beth, let's see if she can handle it.
01:43 - Here, start for real this time.
01:46 - Okay, submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,
01:53 I call this story
01:54 The Tale of Laughing in the Dark.
02:02 It was Friday night and Playland was jammed.
02:14 For thousands of kids, it had everything they wanted.
02:17 But for one kid, it had just a little too much.
02:22 - Man, that was cool.
02:23 - I know.
02:24 - Man, that was awesome.
02:25 - Yeah.
02:26 - Don't give me that.
02:27 You almost hurled.
02:28 - Did not.
02:29 - So why were you screaming, "Stop the ride,
02:32 "oh please, stop the ride"?
02:34 - 'Cause Kathy was scared.
02:35 - Was not, you were gonna fart.
02:37 - You snitch.
02:39 Maybe I should fart right now, on you.
02:42 (farting)
02:44 (laughing)
02:49 (laughing)
02:52 - You ever been in there?
02:54 - No.
02:55 - Let's go in.
03:00 What's the matter?
03:06 - I'm not going in there.
03:07 They say it's really haunted.
03:10 - Give me a break.
03:12 - I heard the same thing.
03:14 Weird things happen in there.
03:16 - Something to do with the clown.
03:19 - Weegee, it's a kiddie ride.
03:22 I could see your twerpy sister being chicken,
03:24 but you, come on.
03:26 - I'm not a twerpy chicken.
03:29 - That's funny.
03:31 Smells a little foul to me.
03:35 (clucking)
03:37 Both of you are chicken.
03:39 (clucking)
03:42 - Excuse me, lad.
03:44 (clucking)
03:46 Don't believe in old Zeebo, eh?
03:48 - Who are you?
03:51 - I run this place, that dude.
03:54 And he's in there, all right.
03:56 (clucking)
03:57 Just waitin'.
03:58 Pick the right door and you'll go free.
04:05 Pick the wrong door and there he'll be.
04:12 (clucking)
04:14 Can't he give it a go?
04:16 (clucking)
04:18 Comin' in, Mr. Brave Young Man?
04:23 - Maybe another time.
04:27 - Suit yourself.
04:29 I'll be here.
04:31 I'm always here.
04:34 (clucking)
04:36 (eerie music)
04:39 (clucking)
04:41 (clucking)
05:00 - You okay?
05:02 - Fine, I'm fine.
05:04 - Not thinking of all the nightmares
05:07 you're gonna have tonight?
05:08 - Come on, man, give her a break.
05:11 Keep goin', Bet.
05:13 - Yeah, what kind of strange stuff
05:14 happened inside the ride?
05:16 - Well, that's what the kids wanted to know.
05:19 Especially Luigi.
05:20 - Most of this is pretty boring.
05:26 It's all pretty boring if you ask me.
05:28 - We didn't ask you.
05:30 - But then I found this.
05:32 - K.T. Clown, Cotton Clamby.
05:36 - The Laughing in the Dark Spook House
05:37 isn't the original.
05:39 There was another one on the same spot
05:41 back in the 1920s.
05:42 - Yeah, so?
05:44 - So, in 1924, the circus came to town
05:46 and set up near Playland.
05:48 I guess one of the clowns, some dude named Zebo,
05:51 was a real foul ball.
05:52 - A clown known as Zebo stole the whole entire
05:56 circus payroll of $4,000.
05:58 Wow.
06:02 - He got caught, though, and they chased him
06:03 into Playland.
06:04 He ran into the spook house,
06:06 and he would have gotten away,
06:07 except for one thing.
06:09 - The cigar.
06:10 - Cigar?
06:11 - Zebo smoked cigars.
06:15 The police figured he threw one away in the spook house,
06:18 because the whole place caught fire with him inside.
06:23 - The fire spread quickly,
06:24 and attempts to rescue Zebo were feuded.
06:27 Tragically, the clown perished in the inferno.
06:31 Ew.
06:32 - Smoking's bad for your health.
06:35 - A couple years later, they built another laughing
06:37 in the dark and made a spooky dummy of Zebo
06:39 at the end to scare everyone.
06:41 Legend has it that--
06:42 - Legend has it the ghost of Zebo is still there.
06:46 Trapped.
06:49 For all time.
06:51 - Exactly.
06:54 - I bet I know why, too.
06:56 - Why?
06:57 - I bet he likes to trap small children inside.
07:01 And tickle them!
07:02 (laughing)
07:04 - Tickle, tickle, tickle.
07:06 Here comes Zebo to tickle you.
07:14 - Josh.
07:15 - Don't mess or I'll bump you in the head.
07:20 - Lighten up, will you, Josh?
07:22 - Me?
07:23 You guys are the thieves.
07:24 You really think there's a ghost clown
07:27 hanging around in some dumb old ride?
07:29 - Kids have seen things in there.
07:31 They've heard things, too.
07:32 - It's a spook house, lame ball.
07:35 It's supposed to be spooky.
07:37 You gotta be some kind of doofus to think it's real.
07:40 Boo!
07:42 You don't see me getting scared of that junk.
07:46 - Yeah?
07:50 If you're so brave, why didn't you go in?
07:51 In fact, I dare you to go in.
07:53 Alone.
07:55 - Why should I?
07:56 - 'Cause I think you're just as chicken as we are.
07:58 You just don't want to admit it.
08:02 (dramatic music)
08:04 - You're gonna eat those words.
08:08 - How are we gonna make sure he goes all the way inside?
08:11 - You're not, twerp.
08:13 Unless you want to come with me.
08:14 - She's right.
08:16 You could just hang right inside the door
08:17 and never go through.
08:20 - Tell you what, gutless.
08:22 Not only am I gonna go through this whole place alone,
08:26 but when I find the dummy clown,
08:29 I'm gonna steal his notes.
08:31 And you're gonna wear it to school for a week.
08:35 - No way.
08:36 - Hey, I thought you were so sure I couldn't do it.
08:40 What's the matter, Weegee?
08:42 You getting chicken again?
08:44 - You get it.
08:48 I'll wear it.
08:49 - Now I'm gonna show you guys how stupid it is
08:54 being scared of this place.
08:57 (laughing)
08:59 - Sorry, my lad.
09:13 I didn't mean to scare you.
09:17 Gonna give it a go, huh?
09:21 - Yeah.
09:21 Yeah, why not?
09:24 - Why not indeed.
09:26 It's the most fun in the park
09:30 when you're laughing in the dark.
09:32 (suspenseful music)
09:35 (suspenseful music)
09:38 (suspenseful music)
09:41 (suspenseful music)
09:44 (suspenseful music)
09:47 (suspenseful music)
09:50 (suspenseful music)
10:07 - Get a grip, Josh.
10:17 (laughing)
10:19 Look at me, I'm Zeebo.
10:24 Zeebo, Zeebo.
10:25 Hand over the dough.
10:29 What do you think I am, some kind of clown?
10:33 (laughing)
10:38 What do you think I am, some kind of clown?
10:42 - Maybe we shouldn't let him go in there all alone.
10:45 - No.
10:46 He deserves this.
10:48 I know it's you, old man.
10:57 You can't scare me.
10:59 (suspenseful music)
11:05 (engine revving)
11:14 (suspenseful music)
11:17 (suspenseful music)
11:31 (suspenseful music)
11:34 - Cigars?
11:46 - Pick the right door and you'll go free.
12:00 Pick the wrong door and there he'll be.
12:03 (suspenseful music)
12:27 (suspenseful music)
12:30 - Kiss this place goodbye.
12:37 I don't get that nose of dead meat.
12:44 (gun firing)
12:52 (suspenseful music)
12:55 (suspenseful music)
12:58 (screaming)
13:11 - Tony a dummy.
13:16 Tony a dummy.
13:19 A dummy.
13:21 A fake dummy.
13:24 (laughing)
13:26 No.
13:27 You're an idiot Josh.
13:32 A plastic dummy can't hurt you.
13:35 Stop being such a wuss and just do it.
13:38 (laughing)
13:46 All right.
13:49 Thanks guy.
13:52 You just made me a hero.
13:55 I'm the guy who beats Ibo.
13:57 (door creaking)
14:02 Hope you can still smell your stinky cigars
14:07 without your nose.
14:09 (door slamming)
14:13 (suspenseful music)
14:16 (suspenseful music)
14:19 - I got a cramp.
14:36 - I don't think so.
14:38 - Oh come on.
14:39 - Give up Kristen.
14:41 You can't take it.
14:43 - I'm fine.
14:45 You're fine.
14:46 - Okay.
14:47 Well Josh was pretty cocky before
14:51 but after he stole Zeebo's nose,
14:53 he was uncontrollable.
14:55 - Weege it's you.
14:58 The guys at school are gonna think so too.
15:03 - Not funny.
15:04 - Sorry.
15:05 - After you get through wearing it,
15:07 I'm gonna get it mounted.
15:09 Like a trophy.
15:10 - Oh please.
15:12 - Then I'm gonna get it engraved.
15:14 The kid who beat Zeebo.
15:16 Cool or what?
15:17 (laughing)
15:19 - Come on.
15:20 You must have been a little scared in there.
15:22 - No way.
15:23 I'm telling you.
15:24 It's all kid stuff.
15:26 With fake dummies and bogus sound effects.
15:30 Of course it might have been scary for some people.
15:34 People that say.
15:36 (imitating dog barking)
15:38 - Enough alright.
15:39 You're a hero and I'm a loser.
15:41 What can I say?
15:42 - Now now.
15:43 Let's not be bad sports.
15:46 Besides, you look much better with the nose on.
15:50 I'll get it for you.
15:52 - He's such a snot.
15:56 - Come on.
15:57 Cigars.

16:52 (eerie music)
16:54 - I'm home.
17:21 Mom?
17:22 Dad?
17:24 I'll bet you forgot Dad and I had theater tickets tonight.
17:31 She's right.
17:32 Played a spaghetti in the freezer
17:35 and chocolate pudding in the fridge.
17:37 Don't stay up too late playing video games.
17:40 See you later, Mom.
17:42 (clanking)
17:48 (eerie music)
17:50 (beeping)
17:58 (door buzzing)
18:11 Mom?
18:13 Dad?
18:18 Dad?
18:19 Is that you?
18:21 (eerie music)
18:27 Somebody's in there.
18:43 You better show yourself
18:45 or you're gonna get beamed.
18:48 (eerie music)
18:50 (screaming)
18:55 Good thing Weegee can't see me now.
19:07 (phone ringing)
19:15 Oh man, what is wrong with me?
19:18 (phone ringing)
19:20 Hello?
19:23 - Hey Josh, this is Weegee.
19:24 - Yo Weegee, what's up?
19:26 - Listen, I was kind of being a baby this afternoon.
19:30 You won the bet and I shouldn't be mad at you.
19:33 I'm sorry.
19:34 - That's okay.
19:35 I was giving you a hard time.
19:37 Tell you what, I'll only make you wear the nose
19:39 to school for one day.
19:41 - I was kind of hoping you'd forget it completely.
19:44 - You're dreaming, pal.
19:46 Tomorrow's Zeebo day for you.
19:49 Later.
19:50 (laughing)
19:56 (phone ringing)
20:03 One day's the best I'm gonna do.
20:07 - Give it back.
20:09 Give it back.
20:13 (laughing)
20:15 - No way, Weegee.
20:18 You're not scaring me.
20:20 - It's a joke.
20:26 He's trying to get me.
20:29 I'll show him.
20:30 I'm not scared.
20:32 He can't scare me with kid's stuff.
20:36 There's no such thing as Zeebo the Clown.
20:40 (dramatic music)
20:43 No way.
20:46 I'll just eat dinner and...
20:49 Grow up, Josh.
20:53 Oh, how can that burn so fast?
20:59 Cigar smoke?
21:04 (dramatic music)
21:07 (screaming)
21:14 Come on.
21:33 Come on.
21:34 - Hello?
21:35 - Weegee, this is Josh.
21:37 I'm...
21:38 - Josh, slow down.
21:41 - Tell me the truth.
21:42 Did you call my house before and pretend you were Zeebo?
21:46 - Whoa, what's the matter, Josh?
21:48 You sound kind of scared.
21:50 - I'm not.
21:52 Yeah, okay, okay.
21:53 I'm scared.
21:55 I was scared on the ride
21:56 and I'm really scared now.
21:58 Was that you?
21:59 - Give me a break.
22:01 Why would I...
22:02 - What was that?
22:04 Was that you, Cassie?
22:06 Put that on the phone.
22:08 - Josh, we only have one phone.
22:11 It's gotta be your house.
22:13 - If you don't give it back,
22:16 I'll come up and get it.
22:19 - Who was that?
22:20 Josh, you there?

24:18 (dramatic music)
24:21 Okay, I shouldn't have taken your nose.
24:44 Sorry.
24:45 There, it's all yours.
24:52 And just to show there's no hard feelings,
24:57 cigars.

26:09 (dramatic music)
26:12 (laughing)
26:14 - The end.
26:17 - So it was a crazy old guy all along.
26:21 - No way, he could have done that stuff in the house.
26:25 - Maybe the old guy was really Zeebo's ghost.
26:29 - Yeah.
26:31 - So what do you think, Kristen?
26:35 Is Zeebo gonna pay you a visit tonight?
26:38 - Sorry, Kiki, I did it.
26:40 I sat through the whole story and I'm okay.
26:43 - What do you say to that?
26:45 - I'd say that's a good thing because we wouldn't want you
26:49 having nightmares.
26:51 - Would we?
26:52 (screaming)
26:54 - Being adjourned.
