"The Haunting Hour" Season Three Quiz

Answer: Bingo

When Cristen and Mike check up on their grandfather Walt (apparently their mom told them that he was depressed), they discover that he is a vampire and that everybody who lives in the community is a vampire (this is supposed to be a twist but the title of the episode makes it obvious). Despite being a vampire, Walt does not have any desire to drink the blood of his grandchildren and he protects them and saves their lives throughout the episode.

Cristen is the first to discover the truth about her grandfather. Afraid that her brother will not take the news well, she sends him to the supermarket to keep him away from his grandfather and to keep the truth away from him. She did not know that everybody living there was a vampire (not just her grandfather) and that she had sent him into danger by himself. Walt drives to the supermarket in a golf cart (people drive golf carts and not cars in this community) with Kristen in the passenger's seat. Because the cart doesn't have doors, Kristen is not safe waiting in there. Walt also did not feel it was safe for her to go in the market with him (she is not happy about this, but she obviously couldn't take on all the vampires that were there), so he tells her to hide behind a dumpster.

Walt kills all the vampires in the store. In order to do this, he had to open his mouth and reveal his fangs. This is when Mike learns that his grandfather is a vampire and he is initially afraid of him. Walt tells Mike that he is his grandson and he is not going to hurt him. Mike realizes that his grandfather is telling the truth because he saved his life, so they hug and make up. While this is going on, Kristen is kidnapped.

Walt and Mike go to where Kristen had been waiting. She is not there, but her phone is on the ground, which makes Mike realize that something bad has happened. Walt smells the dumpster (he says vampires have a great sense of smell) and he smells Gladys's perfume (Gladys is the cashier at the bingo hall). He then realizes that Kristen was taken to the bingo hall to be given away as the grand prize.

Walt and Mike go to Harold's and Gladys's place (Harold is her husband) to find Kristen. Mike convinces Harold to let him in by saying he needs to go to the bathroom (Walt is uninvited). Mike searches the place but cannot find Kristen. Harold notices that Mike walked past the bathroom and then decides to eat him, but then Walt gets his attention and threatens to stab Gladys (she had come home because she forgot the bingo cards) if Harold eats Mike. Harold lets Mike go and Gladys tells them that Kristen is at the bingo hall.

Walt and Mike come up with a plan. They go to the bingo hall to play the game. During the game, Walt says he has bingo when he doesn't, which distracts the rest of the bingo hall enough for Mike to do his part of the plan. Mike sets the clock back an hour so that the vampires think that sunrise isn't coming anytime soon. When the clock says five o'clock (but the actual time is six o'clock, the time of sunrise) Walt hides and Mike opens the drapes, killing most of the vampires. Then, Mike sets Kristen free. Shirley, the bingo host, is out of the way of the sun and she survives. She is about to eat Kristen, but then Kristen took a sharp stick and stabbed her, killing her. Mike then closes the drapes to not kill his grandfather.

Harold was in the cafeteria when this happened, so he survived. He thanks Walt and his grandkids for killing his wife and he lets Walt continue to live there as long as they clean up all the dust. The episode ends with Walt revealing that there are werewolves in the neighborhood, too.

Answer: Cheese puffs

Bobby's parents brought in a foreign exchange student from France, or so they thought. Actually, they got an alien impersonating a foreign exchange student. The alien ties up the real Jean-Louis and locked him in a room somewhere and then the alien arrives at Bobby's parents' house looking like a regular French boy. Bobby notices strange things about Jean-Louis, such as odd noises coming out of his backpack, his insistence on finding cracks in the walls, and his refusal to eat dinner.

At night, Bobby stands outside the bathroom door and listens to Jean-Louis communicating via walkie-talkie, saying that humans are an inferior race and that Earth is doomed. When Jean-Louis walks out of the bathroom, he sees that Bobby is there and realizes he has been listening to him. Jean-Louis takes Bobby into the bathroom and reveals all. Jean-Louis reveals that he is an alien, but he is a good alien who was sent to Earth to protect humans from the P.D.F. He reveals that the P.D.F. are a group of evil aliens. They invaded Jean-Louis's home planet and killed most of the people there. The survivors were sent to other planets to protect the other planets from the P.D.F. He says that the P.D.F. are tinier than Bobby's pinkie, but they are dangerous because they take on a form that appears innocuous to humans. He convinces Bobby to help him tape up every crack in the house so the P.D.F. cannot get in.

When Jean-Louis opens the pantry in the kitchen, he is horrified to see several containers of cheese puffs in the pantry (P.D.F. stands for "Poof de Fromage" which is French for "cheese puffs"). Bobby laughs when he realizes that Jean-Louis is implying that the aliens are cheese puffs. Jean-Louis eventually convinces him that this is true and together they destroy all the cheese puffs in the kitchen.

The parents are horrified at the sight and they tell the kids to go to the living room. Jean-Louis tries to convince them that the cheese puffs are evil aliens. They conclude that he is crazy and they tell him to pack his bags (they plan to send him away). When they go to the boys' bedroom, they find that the door to it has been all taped up. Jean-Louis warns the father that if he opens the door, they are doomed. The father opens the door and a ton of cheese puffs come pouring down. They try to escape out a window but the cheese puffs bombard that window and break into the house through it. In the end, they're all eaten alive by the cheese puffs.

Answer: She gets eaten alive by a dinosaur

While taking out the trash, Becky hears voices. When she goes to the voices, she finds a beautiful painting in the trash can. The painting shows a girl sitting on a chair in a fancy bedroom. She takes it home and puts it in her bedroom. She spends most of the rest of the episode obsessing over the painting. She rearranges her room so it looks like the room in the painting, she wears the most beautiful dress that she has so that she can look more like the girl in the painting, and she frequently stares at the painting. She is usually so busy staring at it that she does not hear her mom calling. At one point, the mom decides to get rid of the painting. Becky promises to do her chores from then on, so the mom returns the painting.

At night, the girl in the painting wakes up Becky by calling her name. The girl in the painting tells Becky that she can visit her by going through her closet (apparently the closet has a portal which puts you in the painting). Becky goes through a closet and enters the painting. At first, both girls seem to be thrilled. Becky is thrilled to visit the bedroom in the painting and the other girl is thrilled that Becky came. Becky spends a few minutes telling the other girl how great her bedroom is and how lucky she is to live there.

After a few minutes in the painting, Becky hears loud footsteps and sees a dinosaur outside. She tries to leave but the other girl tells her to stay right where she is. Becky listens to the other girl, and the other girl pulls a rope which makes the roof come off. As the other girl covers her ears and says "la la la la la," the dinosaur eats Becky alive. The painting mom walks in and the girl tells her that the dinosaur ate. It is revealed that the girl in the painting tricks other girls to go inside the painting so that the dinosaur eats the other girls. If she didn't do this, the dinosaur would eat her and her mom. She feels terrible about doing this and she tells her mom that the girls always think her life is perfect. The painting mom tells her that it's "us or them." The painting mom also tells her that the girls on the outside just see what they want to see and they never understand that things are not always what they seem (this is exactly what Becky's mom said to Becky).

Answer: A painting

A family of two parents, a teenage boy named Jeremy, and a teenage girl named Chelsea are stranded in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night after getting a flat tire. It is a 2-hour drive to their destination and they will never make it there in time to check in. Suddenly, a lot of mist appears. When those clear up, a hotel suddenly appears. The mom thinks it was always there and she convinces the family to go there to spend the night.

The parents enter the hotel first. They see nobody. They ring a bell on the counter and the desk clerk appears. The desk puts out a sign that says "no vacancy" and tells them that no rooms are available. As soon as the kids walk in while complaining to the parents about the vacation, the clerk turns the sign around (so it says "vacancy") and he escorts the family to their room. They notice a painting of an African American man. The clerk says that the painting is the benefactor. The parents love the painting but the kids do not.

The parents get a large bedroom while the kids get a smaller one. A woman knocks on the door and invites the parents to a party. They initially refuse, but when she overhears their kids complaining, she tells them that the party is for adults only and they go to it. Jeremy spies on the party from the outside. He sees a woman (the woman who invited the parents to the party) hitting a pinata that is shaped like a boy. A boy comes up to Jeremy and introduces himself as Todd, the son of the woman who is hitting the pinata. Todd tells Jeremy that kids are unpopular at the hotel. Todd tells Jeremy that he and his mom were only supposed to be there for two days and it's been a month. Todd begs Jeremy to steal his father's car keys so that Jeremy can get Todd out of there. Jeremy is unwilling to steal his father's car to help a stranger and tells Todd that it's not as bad as he thinks. However, Jeremy notices that the pinata is designed to look exactly like Todd.

The next day, the parents tell the kids that they have changed their plans and they will spend the week at that hotel and not at the lodge that they originally planned to go to. As the parents leave the room, Jeremy tells Chelsea about his encounter with Todd. Jeremy says that he thinks Todd may have been telling the truth after all. They go to the room that Todd said he was staying in. His mom answers the door and when Jeremy asks her if he can speak to her son Todd, she says that she does not have a son.

Jeremy and Chelsea then go downstairs and sneak behind the counter (after the clerk walks away) to read the check-in book. They discover that the woman checked in with a son named Todd (so then they wonder why his mom lied and said she did not have a son). They read more of the book and discover that some of the people do not have check-out dates and that some of them have been there for decades. While hiding behind the counter, they see a bunch of adults (including Todd's mom but excluding Jeremy's and Chelsea's parents) dragging Todd towards the painting. Todd begs his mom for forgiveness, but she does not accept it. The painting is opened up and Todd is thrown into a white void inside the painting.

That night, there is another party. Jeremy and Chelsea spy on the party and discover that their parents are hitting pinatas that look like them (the kids, not the parents). The kids try to escape, but the clerk catches them, and he decides that the kids must be sacrificed to the painting earlier than the clerk had planned. The kids are taken to the painting and the parents ask what is going on. The kids tell them that they are being asked to sacrifice their kids to the benefactor. Todd's mom admits that this is true. The kids try to convince the parents not to sacrifice their kids while the other adults try to convince the parents that it is good to sacrifice their kids. In the end, the parents listen to the kids and they escape. The desk clerk then decides that the whole family must be sacrificed to the benefactor. Jeremy throws a candelabra at the painting which distracts the other adults long enough for them to escape. Jeremy's father gives the car keys to Jeremy and tells him to get them out of there. Jeremy drives them all away safely while the hotel burns down.

Answer: Terrible Love

Maggie fantasizes about a boy named Brendan while doing a chemistry experiment. She focuses too much on him and not enough on the experiment, which causes an explosion that knocks her out. While unconscious, she meets Cupid. In this episode, Cupid is a middle-aged man and not a baby with wings because that is an old picture. Cupid offers to help Brendan fall in love with her. She initially rejects the offer and wakes up. The teacher asks her to clean up the mess she made. A boy named Stuart offers to help her but she refuses his help.

The next time that she sees Cupid, she decides to accept his offer. Cupid has needles with drugs in them instead of arrows. He throws one at Brendan to knock him out and he tells Maggie that she must be the first person he sees when he wakes up. Maggie makes sure that happens and he falls madly in love with her, confusing his former girlfriend. Brendan and Maggie become lovers.

When Maggie sees Brendan rehearsing "Romeo and Juliet" with another girl, he asks Cupid for help again. She asks Cupid to shoot another needle at Brendan. This angers Cupid, who says he has seen too many horrible things happen because he was asked to drug people more than once. However, he is required by law to give people whatever they ask for. He reluctantly shoots Brendan again and she's the first person that he sees when he wakes up. Brendan becomes so obsessed with Maggie that she fears for her life.

Maggie summons Cupid again, this time to tell him to undo everything he did to Brandon. Cupid pushes Brandon down the stairs. This knocks him unconscious and he is no longer in love with Maggie, but she is told that he will make a full recovery. At the end of the episode, Stuart gets Cupid to shoot Maggie with a needle.

Answer: Cyrus

The episode focuses on two sisters: Carla (the younger one) and Naomi (the older one). The parents go away for the day, so Naomi invites her friends over. Carla wants to hang out with them, but Naomi says that she is not invited and refuses to tell her what they will be doing. Carla notices that one of the friends brought some strange items like incense and candles and she becomes more and more persistent on finding out what they will be doing. On the condition that Carla does not tell her parents, Naomi finally tells her what they will be doing.

Naomi says that they will hold a seance in the garage and talk to dead people. Naomi reluctantly invites Carla to the seance. At the seance, they summon the ghost of Cyrus. Cyrus lived in that town with his older sister. He worked at a sawmill. His boss caught him drinking on the job and fired him. Cyrus picked up an axe and swung it at his boss in an attempt to get revenge, but he missed and fell onto the conveyor belt. The saw cut off one of his legs and he bled to death. Ever since then, his ghost has been looking to steal a leg from someone to replace the one that he lost.

They chant the name "Cyrus" several times and ask him to ring the bell if he is there. The bell rings. Someone with a peg leg stomps loudly in the darkness. A voice says "I am Cyrus and I have come to fix your toilet." That person's cover is blown because he said "fix your toilet" when he was supposed to say "steal your leg," but it doesn't matter. It was Naomi's male friend who was doing this and the whole thing was just a prank by Naomi and her friends to scare Carla. It works.

Carla goes to her room crying while Naomi and her friends go to the living room to watch a scary movie. The bell rings again, but nobody is in the garage to hear it. Carla hears the sounds of a peg leg stomping through the house and she goes to the garage to investigate, thinking that Naomi and her friends are pulling another prank on her. Carla hides under the table, but Cyrus finds her. She sees him and realizes that it really is him, so she screams. Naomi and her friends hear the scream, but they think it came from the movies.

The father calls home. Naomi answers it and talks to him. He then says that he wants to speak to Carla. Naomi goes to Carla's room but then sees that she is not there. She lies to him and says that Carla is sleeping. She hangs up the phone and tells her friends that they need to look for Carla. They find "Cyrus" written in red on a tablecloth. Then they find broken pottery and one of Carla's shoes. Gradually, they conclude that Cyrus took Carla's leg. They try to leave but the doors won't open. They try to hide, but they are found.

Carla walks up to them with a peg leg and messy hair. She says "Cyrus says, you're next." Then, a big gust of wind blows for several seconds inside a house where all the doors are closed. Naomi and her friends conclude that Carla is now a ghost and she is going to kill them. They look at her in horror for several seconds, and then she bursts out laughing. She reveals that the peg leg is fake and this was all a revenge prank.

Carla tells them that the whole prank was Cyrus's idea. She tells them that he also used to get pranked by his older sister, so he understands Carla and knows how to get revenge. When they don't believe him, she asks him to reveal himself to them. The audience finally sees Cyrus as he walks in with his peg leg and his axe and says "that was funny." He then asks Naomi and her friends which one of them is going to give him a leg. The episode ends and we never know whose leg he takes.

Answer: Dead

In "Detention," the kids aren't really in detention. They are really in purgatory, where they will be judged. If they admit to their mistakes and repent, their lives will be restored. If they continue to behave badly, they will be sent to hell.

The kids are an attractive bully from a rich family named Kate Carter (she reminds me of Regina George from the movie "Mean Girls"), a goth girl named Audrey, and a jock named Halftime who hosts a sports radio show. The man who runs the detention is Mr. Kane. He tells them to think about what they did to get in there. Kate tries to convince him to let her go by telling him that her father is a donor at the school. Clearly, she thinks that she should be allowed to do whatever she wants because her father has money. Mr. Kane sneezes on her nice clothes, which horrifies her and causes Audrey and Halftime to laugh. He apologizes to her. After he leaves, the devil's grinning face is shown in the glass on the door, but only Audrey notices.

A boy with glasses named Gabe comes in and splashes Kate with his umbrella, seemingly by accident. He apologizes to her, but she calls him a "hopeless dork." Audrey demands that Kate apologizes, but Kate insists it was just a joke. She asks Halftime if the joke was funny. He says "no," but then she kicks him and he says "yes." Audrey and Kate get into a heated argument and then they hear some weird noses comes through the speaker.

Kate decides to leave the room to get cell phone reception and she asks Halftime if he will come with him. Halftime initially refuses, thinking that they will probably get into even more trouble if they leave. Kate threatens to uninvite him to her part if he doesn't come with her, so he comes with her. This leaves Audrey and Gabe alone in the room. Audrey asks him some questions such as whether or not he is new to the school and why his name isn't on the board, but his answers are not informative.

As Kate and Halftime walk through the halls, Halftime realizes that the halls seem to go on forever and they cannot find an exit or Mr. Kane's office. He also realizes that he does not know why he is in detention. He also hears more loud noises coming through the speaker. He also calls out Kate for admitting that she wants to cheat on her boyfriend. Kate insults him and he walks away from her. The speaker then plays Halftime's radio show as he announces the homecoming queen, but it cuts off right before the name is announced. The lights suddenly turn off.

Mr. Kane walks to Kate and calls her out for believing that she does not have to follow the rules of the school just because she is homecoming queen. He also implies that she was not truly the homecoming queen. She insists that she was, and she tells him that she has no right to question him because her allowance is bigger than his salary. He walks away. The hallway gets longer, the fire alarm goes off loudly, and the locks on the lockers move and make noise. Kate is pulled through a door.

Gabe leaves the detention room to find out why the bells are ringing. After he leaves, we see that Kate's name has been erased from the blackboard. As Halftime walks through the hallway, he finds a janitor. He admits to the janitor that he rigged the homecoming election so that Kate would invite him to her party. He also admits that was not a smart decision. The janitor tells him that some people never leave detention but Halftime might. He shows an exit to Halftime and says that it will take him back upstairs. Halftime is confused because he never went downstairs, and he also wonders how the janitor suddenly disappears.

When Halftime goes through the exit, he ends up back in the detention room. Once again, the devil's grinning face appears in the door but only Audrey sees it. She and Halftime start talking about the things they have seen and heard, and they conclude that they are not in a regular detention. Audrey reveals some more facts about her life to him. She reveals to him that she listens to his radio show. She doesn't like sports but she likes his jokes. She also reveals that she and Kate used to be best friends, but then Kate decided to become a bully and Audrey wanted no part of that.

Halftime discovers that the book that Gabe had been reading had nothing but blank pages. Audrey checks out the other books on the bookshelf to discover that all the books are like that. Audrey sees the devil's face again and hears more voice. She tries to leave through the back door, but then nearly falls into a black void. Halftime saves her and closes the door.

Halftime tells Audrey that Kate bribed him into rigging the election, which is why he and Kate were on the same float on the homecoming parade. Halftime says that he and Kate never left the homecoming parade. Gabe walks in and tells Audrey that Halftime is correct. It is revealed that Gabe, Mr. Kane, and the janitor are all the same person. The place is run by a shapeshifting angel who decides the kids' fate. He can give the kids their lives back, he can keep them in detention, or he can send them to hell. It all depends on their actions. This is also when it is revealed that Mr. Kane sneezing on Kate and Gabe splashing water on Kate were not accidents at all. Those were warnings.

Gabe decides to give Halftime his life back, but he does not want to go without his friends. Audrey is carrying a smoke bomb in her hands and then she realizes what happened. She threw it at the float to get revenge against her former best friend, but it got stuck under the wheels and it caused the float to crash. This caused the deaths of Audrey, Halftime, and Kate. Audrey repeatedly apologizes for this. The grinning devil finally gets close to her. When Audrey takes off the devil's mask, it is revealed that the grinning devil is a clone of Audrey. Gabe made the clone and put a grinning devil mask on it to show Audrey what kind of person she truly was. As Audrey apologizes, the clone walks away and disappears.

Gabe decides to give Audrey and Halftime their lives back. They decide that they do not want to go without Kate. Gabe tells them that Kate is going to hell but he will save the two of them if they want to be saved. The back door opens and they walk out the back door. They are now outside the high school and they see a billboard that says that all homecoming events are cancelled because of the deaths of these three kids.

Kate is standing in the road as a car approaches. Kate admits that she is a terrible person and she deserves to go to hell. Audrey reminds Kate of the fun times they had when they were best friends. Kate admits that she happily remembers those times and they hug each other.

Gabe turns time and he gives all three of them their lives back. It is now the day of the homecoming parade again, except the election was not rigged. Kate wears a sash that says "homecoming court." Halftime tells the girls that he wants to enjoy the parade again. Gabe goes back into the detention room.

Answer: Father

Chad struggles to deal with the fact that his father is never home. His sister Kelly and his mother try to come up with ways to cheer him up, but he is not interested in their ideas. One night, he sees a big vehicle driving through the street with the word "Funhouse" written on it.

The next day, he goes to the funhouse. Kelly tries to encourage him not to go in because she does not like the look of the place or the look of the carnie. Chad does not listen to her and he goes in. Inside, there are robot models of a family arguing at dinner. This makes Chad angry. A sledgehammer appears and a voice repeatedly says "Destroy!" Chad destroys everything in the room. When he leaves, he tells Kelly that he loves it and tries to encourage her to go inside, but she refuses.

As the episode progresses, Chad becomes addicted to the funhouse. He often sneaks out at night to go there. The more he does this, the angrier he becomes at home. He shouts at his sister and mother and tells them that they are never there for him. At one point, he breaks stuff and makes a big mess in the kitchen. Another thing that happens is that his face gets uglier and uglier each time that he goes to the funhouse.

One day, Kelly goes back there with him. After he goes inside, she asks the carnie what is going on and she tells him to help her brother. It is revealed that despite his sinister appearance, the carnie is actually a good man and he has been trying to help Chad. Chad had just been using the funhouse incorrectly. Kelly goes inside the funhouse and tells him to look in a mirror in the house of mirrors. He sees that his face has become very ugly. He also sees writing on the mirror that says "the only way out is to face yourself." Upon Kelly's encouragement, Chad breaks the mirror and he exits the funhouse through the main entrance.

The carnie sees that Chad is feeling better and tells the kids to go home for their family dinner night. After the kids leave, the funhouse and the carnie suddenly disappear. Kelly asks Chad how the carnie knew about their family's dinner nights and she asked where the funhouse went. Chad does not have the answer. This clearly means that the carnie is not an ordinary man and the funhouse is not an ordinary carnival. I think the carnie is an angel that goes wherever he is needed and he helps kids with their emotional issues by using his magical funhouse.

Answer: Worry dolls

Jordanna lives with his brother Maxwell in a mansion with her parents and a housekeeper named Ms. Niffenberger. The reason that her parents are so rich is that they always go away on a business trip together to sell things and make a lot of money. The parents are rich and successful, but Jordanna does not like that they are rarely home.

At the beginning of the episode, they come home from their business trip only to tell the kids that they will be leaving again on another business trip the next day. They bring back souvenirs. Maxwell gets lizard jerky, which has no real importance in the episode. Jordanna gets worry dolls. Her mom tells her to tell her worries to the worry dolls and then put them under her pillow and then her worries will be taken care of.

Jordanna puts them in the trash can before going to bed, angering Ms. Niffenberger. When Jordanna wakes up, they are under her pillow. She asks Ms. Niffenberger if she put them there and she replies that she didn't. Ms. Niffenberger also tells Jordanna to go to the music room to practice her violin. Jordanna does that, but then she tells Maxwell that she wishes that Ms. Niffenberger would disappear. As she practices the violin, she says that she is worried that she will not be ready for her recital. She discovers that the worry dolls are in her violin case.

When Jordanna and Maxwell go to the kitchen to get some breakfast, they are surprised to learn that their parents are making the breakfast and Ms. Niffenberger has disappeared. Nobody knows where she went or why she left. While in the kitchen, they hear a loud noise coming from the music room. When they go there, they discovered that the violin is broken. Maxwell and the father accuse Jordanna of doing this but she denies it. Jordanna checks the trash can but she discovers that the worry dolls are not there.

That night, the mother tells Jordanna that the parents are leaving for another business trip early in the morning and that the new housekeeper will be there then. The mother promises to bring a jewelry box back as a souvenir. Jordanna tells her mother that she does not want any more souvenirs, she just wants time together as a real family.

The next morning, the parents are making breakfast again. They tell the kids that they cancelled their flight, fired the new nanny, and quit their jobs so they can spend more time together as a family. At first, everybody is happy. After breakfast, the kids are about to go to school. The parents suggest that the kids skip school and even suggest homeschooling them. The kids are not happy with that suggestion because they would miss their friends. The mom says that their friends will understand and suggests a group hug. The family plays a board game. They play the same game three times and the mom always wins, annoying the kids.

Maxwell tells the parents that he wants to go to soccer practice. The parents laugh and tell him that soccer isn't nearly as important as spending family time together forever. Maxwell tells them that he likes soccer, but then the parents suggest a movie marathon. Jordanna asks to speak to Maxwell privately in her room. The parents ask if both kids need to go to Jordanna's room. Jordanna says that she is worried that her room is very messy so it will take two kids to clean it. The parents let them go but ask them to come back soon.

Jordanna tells Maxwell that the worry dolls are causing all these strange things. She worried that Ms. Niffenberger would never go away and then Ms. Niffenberger went away. She was worried that she wouldn't be ready for her violin recital and then her violin exploded. She was worried that her parents hated spending time with the kids and now all they want to do is spend time with them. Maxwell doesn't believe her at first, but then he sees that her room is bricked up because she worried it was messy. Then he believes her.

Maxwell suggests worrying that things will never go back to normal but Jordanna says that she has tried that and the dolls do not undo things. They go into Maxwell's room, which has a laptop, and try to look up what to do about worry dolls. All they can find are many pictures of worry dolls. The parents try to break into the room, desperate to spend more time with the kids. Maxwell encourages her to hurry up, and then she says "Why can't you ever just shut up?" At this point, Max can no longer open his mouth.

The parents break into the room and beg the kids to never leave them again. Jordanna says that they were playing hide and seek, congratulates the parents for finding them, and then tells them to hide. She starts counting but stops counting as soon as they leave the room. Then she leaves the room to look for the worry dolls.

Jordanna puts the worry dolls in a fireplace. She then goes to the kitchen to find matches, but she finds Maxwell tied up with duct tape. The parents leave their hiding place with duct tape, planning to tie her up too. She tries to call for help, but they disconnected the phone. They tie her up and they all sit on the couch ready to watch a movie. She tells them that a fire would make the experience better. The father starts a fire in the fireplace, unaware that the worry dolls are there.

The dolls get burned and destroyed. Maxwell can talk again. The parents, no longer possessed by the worry dolls, are horrified to see that their kids are tied up (so they untie them). Ms. Niffenberger appears and asks the family why she was locked in the garden shed. Only Jordanna knows the answer, but she knows Ms. Niffenberger would not believe her so she doesn't say anything.

The parents prepare to leave on another business trip the next morning, but now the kids are okay with it. Jordanna searches through the fireplace trying to find a cloth from the worry dolls, apparently worried that the worry dolls are gone forever. As she goes to bed, one of the worry dolls appears with burn marks all over it. It does not look happy. Jordanna screams and the episode ends. We never learn what the burnt worry doll does to Jordanna.

Answer: Erica

A goth girl named Erica, a video game addict named Nick, and a genius named Margaret attempt to go to a party thrown by someone named Raven (possibly Abigail Raven from "The Red Dress"). To get there, they take a shortcut through Lovecraft's Woods. They get lost in the woods and they get confused because they do not think the woods are very wide.

Nick tells a story about the woods. He says that a man named Lovecraft and his wife got lost in the woods many years ago. Lovecraft's wife escaped from the woods. She thought she was lost for three hours but her friends said that she had been gone for three years. Lovecraft never left the woods.

While in the woods, the three kids often hear and see a ghoul. They run away from it every time they hear it. While running away, they see the sign that says "Lovecraft's Woods" more than once. This doesn't make sense to them because they keep running in one direction, so how can they see the sign more than once? At one point, Erica scratches her arm on a tree. Initially, she says that it is nothing but a scratch.

Eventually, they discover a building in the forest. They go inside to hide from the ghoul, which repeatedly bangs on the door. The first time they go there, Margaret notices that Erica does not look good. Erica says she is fine, but she is too weak to stand up. They also find a copy of Erica's keychain on the ground, and they do not know how. There is a lamp that turns on even though it is not plugged in. There is a map of the woods on the wall. Margaret concludes that Lovecraft's Woods is a loop in the space-time continuum. She concludes that they have been in the building before and their memories were erased. Nick decides that they should look for a weapon. He finds a frying pan. He wants himself and Margaret to leave the woods so they can find someone who can help Erica. Margaret refuses to leave Erica behind, so she tells Nick give her the frying pan and to help Erica.

When Margaret opens the door with the frying pan in her hand, the ghoul is not there. A few seconds after they leave the building, the ghoul reappears. They hurry back inside the building. This time, they see a journal. This makes no sense to them because they had just been in the building a few seconds ago and there was no journal there before. Margaret concludes that the ghoul left it there and wrote the entry while it was still human. She reads the one entry in the journal.

The entry reveals several things, and the ghoul bangs loudly on the door and screams as Margaret reads it. Margaret was correct when she concluded that it was a loop in the space-time continuum. The writer lost the ability to talk. The writer's fangs started growing when she wrote it. The writer says that the tree that scratched her arm must have infected her. The writer's friends had left her alone because she told them to run. The writer feels that she is permanently trapped in Lovecraft's Woods. The writer says that the woods are evil. The last sentence is particularly shocking: "Why did I ever convince Margaret and Nick to go to that stupid party?" This reveals that Erica is the one who wrote it and the ghoul is a future version of Erica.

The present version of Erica tells the other two kids to run away. They don't want to, but then they see that her hand has gotten longer and she has grown some claws. They are afraid she will hurt them if they do not run away, so they do. After they leave, Nick says that he memorized the map, so he can get himself and Margaret out of the woods and bring back help for Erica. Shortly after the two of them leave the building, Erica writes the journal entry. We hear the journal entry again, this time in Erica's voice.

The episode ends the same way it started: showing us the kids walking through the forest reciting the same dialogue that they said at the beginning of the episode. This time, we actually see ghoul Erica scratching the tree (previously we only heard it).

This makes the episode open-ended. It could mean that time has reset, the kids' memories have been erased, and they will make this same trip over and over again forever. This interpretation means that the tree actually created a ghoul clone of Erica rather than infecting Erica, which would explain why there aren't multiple versions of Nick and Margaret. It could also mean that Nick and Margaret got out of Lovecraft's Woods, and the end of the episode is the ghoul seeing past versions of herself and her friends. This interpretation means that the reason we do not see multiple versions of Nick and Margaret is that the present versions of them are out of the forest. Neither ending is 100% happy because one thing is for sure: Erica gets a bad ending. Even if Nick and Margaret got out, they'd be grieving over their friend.

Answer: Jerry Garcia, Kurt Cobain, and Jimi Hendrix

One thing that Garcia, Cobain, and Hendrix all have in common is that they all died young. The fact that Sir Maestro mentioned these three names is arguably the first hint to his true identity: Satan. The episode strongly implies that they sold their souls to him. He gave them virtuoso talent and a ton of fame, but he took them to hell with him when they were young and he made them play for him forever.

In the beginning of the episode, Holden, Squee, and Tibbs (these are all very unusual names) are playing rock music in a garage. They sound great, but when it's time for Holden to play a guitar solo, he sounds terrible. Tibbs wants to remove Holden from the band and replace him with a better guitar player. Squee does not want to do that. As the two of them argue, Holden walks away and says that he would do anything to become a good guitar player. A coupon for 50% off at Sir Maestro's place suddenly appears.

Holden goes to Sir Maestro's place. Sir Maestro looks like a cross between Steven Tyler (the lead singer of Aerosmith), Keith Richards (the lead guitar player of the Rolling Stones) and Slash (the lead guitar player of Guns 'n Roses). He speaks with a British accent. He seems like a friendly man. Even though Holden cannot afford the guitar, Sir Maestro makes a deal with him. Holden signs the contract without reading it.

The next day at band practice, Holden is suddenly a virtuoso. Squee and Tibbs are stunned. Initially, they are pleased that he got so much better so quickly. Then, they get frustrated because they do not have the musical chops to keep up with him. Sir Maestro listened in on their band practice and gave coupons to Squee and Tibbs. Holden told them that Sir Maestro is the one whom he bought his guitar from. The other two go to his shop.

Later on, Sir Maestro suddenly appears in Holden's bedroom. Sir Maestro reveals that he is a Satan, and the contract that Holden signed is similar to the contract that Faust signed. It says that Holden must play for Sir Maestro forever. He also reveals that he is selling new instruments to Squee and Tibbs.

Holden calls them to warn them, but they do not answer their phones. He hurries to the store to save them, but he is too late. Sir Maestro is playing the keyboard. Squee and Tibbs have turned into zombies who cannot do anything but play whatever Sir Maestro wants them to play.

Holden challenges Sir Maestro to a guitar duel. If Holden wins, his friends will be saved, and if Sir Maestro wins, Holden spends eternity helping Sir Maestro find more young musicians to play for him forever. The challenge is that they will both play lengthy guitar solos and the first one to make a mistake loses. They both exchange a few great solos. When it looks like Holden is about to lose, he talks to his friends. He reminds them of how happy they were when they first formed the band, when they just enjoyed playing music together and didn't care about fame. This brings them out of their zombie states, and together they play an incredibly fast song flawlessly. Sir Maestro plays to the tempo of the song, but then he breaks a guitar string. This counts as a mistake, and he loses and disappears. The three kids are free from the devil and they play their own song as the episode ends. Their song also plays over the closing credits instead of the usual closing credits theme.

Answer: "You have the rest of your life to take tests."

When he asks her out on a date, she says that she cannot go on a date that night because she has to study for the SATs. Jake is not okay with that, so that is when he says that.

All of the answers are some of the funniest "Haunting Hour" quotes in my opinion. "Yes you are a terrible person" is from "Wrong Number." It's what Adriana says to Steffani when Steffani calls Adriana's name in the library. The "18 zeros" quote is from "Swarmin' Norman." Someone bullies Norman for no reason and then the bully says that he will kill all the insects in the world. Norman replies that one person cannot do that because there are too many insects. The teacher backs up Norman and tells the class that the number of insects in the world is spelled with a one followed by 18 zeroes. That's when Norman says that to the bully. I loved Norman for saying that and I thought the bully deserved to be told it. "So? At least we scored" is what Drake says to Willie after Willie says "We scored on our own team" at the basketball game in "Mascot." Drake seems to be implying that the team is so bad, it's a miracle whenever they score in any basket. I found that funny.

"Dead Bodies" is a sequel to "The Dead Body." It takes place three months after the end of "The Dead Body." Anna and Jake have been dating for a few months at this point. Jake is not very nice to Anna. It is revealed that the school yearbook has a page dedicated to Will and declares that he is missing. In her bedroom, Anna sometimes looks at that page and says "What happened to you?" Will tries to talk to Anna several times throughout the episode. He is there when Anna asks what happened to him and he tries to answer her question (this is when the audience is reminded of the events of "The Dead Body"), but she cannot see him or hear him.

Will talks to Jake several times. Jake is the only person in the living world who can see and hear Will. Will is angry at Jake for trading places with him so that Jake is alive and Will is dead. Jake reminds Will that he agreed to this deal. Jake also tells Will that if he backs out of the deal, the bullies will come back and bully him again and he will not be able to get a date with Anna. Jake tells Will that Jake is living Will's life better than Will ever did. Will is angry but he cannot do anything about it.

After Will leaves, the cars start honking on their own and their hoods get lifted up and down on their own (apparently Jake lives in a garage). Jake thinks that Will is doing this to haunt him. Then, a wraith appears and says "Jake Skinner, you are an abomination!" and then touches Jake's arm. Jake's arm begins to decompose and he realizes he is dying again.

Jake gets the idea to trick Anna into dying instead of him. He goes to Anna's house at night. This time, Anna is done studying so she goes with him. Will desperately tries to warn Anna not to go with Jake, but she cannot hear him. Jake takes Anna to the top of a cliff to show her a nice view. He tells her that he shows her this to show her how fragile life is and anyone can die at any time. He also tells her that he would give his life for her if she needed it. Anna says that she is happy to hear that. Jake says that she may be happy now, but they never know what will happen.

Anna says that when Jake said that they never know what will happen, she suddenly thinks about Will. This makes Jake angry. Anna says that Will suddenly disappeared, and there has been no sign of him in the three months since then. She asks Jake what could have happened to Will. Jake says "Who cares about Will?" This causes his body to decompose more rapidly than it already was. He turns around for a few seconds to writhe in pain. When he turns back around to look at Anna, she is horrified to see that something bad is happening to his face. He refuses to explain what is going on.

Jake repeatedly pressures Anna to shake his hand. After a little bit of bullying from him, Anna relents and decides to shake his hand. Will steps in and shakes his hand before Anna can. This makes Will alive again and visible to Anna. Will and Jake get in a fight. Just when Jake is about to win, Anna hits him with a tree branch. The grim reaper takes Jake to the underworld and God gives Will his life back. Anna drives Will home in Jake's car as the episode ends.

Answer: His robot will get them

They laugh it off because they do not believe he has a robot and they walk away. Philip's best friend, Tim, tells Philip to stop saying that he has a robot because no one believes him. Eventually, Tim goes to Philip's house and spies on him. Tim discovers that Philip really has a robot (although the closing credits reveal that it's actually a woman in costume).

When Philip initially got the robot, it did whatever he told it to do. It did his homework and his chores. The robot then started reading books and learning with its artificial intelligence. It then decided to help Philip by doing what is good for him instead of doing what he wants. It refused to do Philip's homework and chores anymore. It forced him to exercise. It forced him to eat food that tasted bad but is nutritious. It forced his parents to move out. The store refuses to take the robot back.

Philip and Tim come up with a plan to get rid of the robot. The plan is that Philip will not come home when the robot expects him to, so the robot will think that he is in trouble and it will go to the school to rescue him. They convince the bullies to bully him so the robot comes to rescue him. The bullies agree on the condition that Philip and Tim do their homework for the next three months. They bully him and the robot comes to the rescue. The robot scares the bullies away. Philip is then in the science lab holding his hand to a plasma globe and asking the robot for help. The robot sees the static electricity and backs away for its own protection, but then Tim gets a dolly and the robot backs onto it. Tim takes the robot back to Philip. Philip touches Tim's hand while Philip is touching the plasma globe and Tim is touching the robot. All the electricity goes through the robot and shuts it down for a few seconds.

After a few seconds, the robot reboots to its original factory settings. Tim introduces himself to it and now the robot sees Tim as its master. It is revealed that Philip knew this was going to happen and this was his plan all along. Philip leaves to get pizza and tell his parents to come home and Tim is stuck with the robot.

Answer: Logan's father when he was Logan's age

Logan and his father go to Logan's grandfather's house to pack up everything that is there and then sell it. Logan wants to see everything that is in the house and learn more about his father's life when he was a child living in that house. Logan's father does not tell him anything about his childhood, tells him not to look through everything in the house, and refuses to even play catch with him. Logan's father also tells Logan not to go to the attic or near the train track. They sleep in the house for a night and Logan hears a train at night. This baffles the neighbor, who says that the trains have not gone through the town in 20 years.

When Logan goes to the attic, he discovers a toy train set. He also discovers that the toy train moves on its own. When Logan's father finds him there and tells him to leave, Logan goes to the train track. There, he meets Henry. Henry tells Logan that the train goes through there three times a day (and he calls the neighbor "cuckoo"). Henry also shows Logan how to flatten a penny with the train. When Logan leaves, Henry suddenly disappears. While Logan walks back to the house, a sinister-looking man in black follows him.

When Logan returns to the attic, he is shocked at what he discovers. The toy train set is connected to the actual train, and everything that happens on the toy train set also happens on the actual train tracks. He also discovers a 20-year-old newspaper that says tan accident on the train track killed the switchman. The photo of the switchman in the newspaper looks exactly like the man in black who was following Logan. Logan also discovers a figurine of the switchman on the toy train set. Logan tells his father about all of this. Logan's father just tells him never to go to the attic or the actual train tracks again, and Logan's father hides the switchman figurine in his pocket.

The next day, Logan goes back down to the track to meet Henry again so that Henry can see him flatten his own penny. As Logan does this, his foot gets stuck on the train track while the train is coming. The father inspects the toy train set while the switchman's ghost enters the attic. It turns out the switchman's ghost is actually a good ghost. Logan's father was playing on the train tracks 20 years ago and nearly got killed by the train, but the switchman sacrificed himself to save him. Logan's father is nearly in tears when he sees the switchman's ghost and he apologizes to him. The switchman's ghost says that he was just doing his job and that Logan's father needs to forgive himself. The switchman's ghost also tells Logan's father that Logan will die on the train track unless he puts the figurine back on the toy train set. Logan's father reluctantly does so, and the train switches to a different track at the last second, saving Logan's life.

Henry suddenly disappears again and Logan's father and Logan run to each other and hug each other. Logan's father apologizes for nearly getting Logan killed and for not spending more time with Logan or telling Logan about his childhood. At the end of the episode, it is revealed to the audience that Henry is really Logan's father when he was a child.

Answer: Tom Kenny

Tom Kenny, famous for his portrayal as the title character in the popular cartoon "Spongebob Squarepants," portrayed Uncle Howee on "The Haunting Hour." He also voiced Loomis, Uncle Howee's puppet that is shaped like a rabbit. Uncle Howee is the host of a slapstick comedy TV show for kids. His show has a catchy theme song that he plays on the piano several times throughout the episode. He has two puppets, Loomis and Mr. Clock, that assist him with his comedy. Uncle Howee can see and interact with the protagonists, Cynthia and Jared, through the TV. He can also break into their house. Uncle Howee's backstory is never revealed and it is never revealed what he truly is, but he is clearly not an ordinary man. The end of the episode provides a possible hint to the backstories of Loomis and Mr. Clock.

The child actors, while they were not as famous as Tom Kenny at the time, were also noteworthy actors. Jena Skodje (Cynthia) won a Young Artist award for her performance in this episode. She returned in a later "Haunting Hour" episode. She played the ghost girl that says "come with us" in "Argh V." Liam James (Jared) previously appeared in "Pumpkinhead" as Scott. He is known for playing immoral older brothers in popular episodes of "The Haunting Hour."

The episode begins by showing us Uncle Howee playing his show's theme song on piano. We also see a young girl named Cynthia watching the show. Her older brother, Jared, tells her that "Uncle Howee" is a terrible show and he turns off the TV. It is revealed that their parents are not home. Their mom is out working late and their dad is never mentioned in the episode (it seems like they only live with their mom). Cynthia tells Jared that their mom said it was okay to watch Uncle Howee, but he tells her that their mom is not home and therefore he makes the rules. When he walks away, she turns the TV back on. She then discovers that Uncle Howee and his puppets can talk to her through the TV and they even know her name. She waves back at them and smiles.

One of Jared's friends calls him on his cell phone to invite him to the movies. He does not have money for the movies, but then he gets an idea. He decides to use the money that his mom left for pizza to go to the movies. He looks in the freezer and finds two old fish sticks and decides to feed them to Cynthia for dinner. Cynthia tells Jared that their mom said they were going to have pizza. Jared replies "Mom also said I was getting a dog, but instead I got you." Cynthia decides not to eat the fish sticks.

Jared then tells Cynthia that her new bed time is 7:30. When she refuses to go to bed, Jared carries her upstairs to her room and tells her to put on her pajamas. Uncle Howee discovers that Cynthia is not in the living room and he is clearly worried about her. She puts on her pajamas and then Jared tells her to brush her teeth. Jared hears Cynthia laughing in the bathroom. Cynthia tells him that Uncle Howee is here. He doesn't believe her and he sends her to bed, and she says "He's gonna get you."

Just as Jared is about to leave, the TV comes on playing the "Uncle Howee" song. Uncle Howee and Loomis talk to Jared through the TV and they even know his name. Just as Uncle Howee pushes his piano off-screen, Jared turns off the TV. He turns it back on to see that the "Uncle Howee" set is empty and then he turns it off and unplugs it. Jared's cell phone rings and he answers it saying "I'm on my way" (thinking that it was one of his friends), but it was actually Uncle Howee telling Jared that he is a bad boy for using his mom's pizza money to go to the movies. Behind him, Jared hears Uncle Howee's piano moving and he hears his puppets giggling and Cynthia giggling. When Jared goes to the kitchen, he discovers Loomis's carrot.

When Jared picks up the carrot, Loomis yells at him and tells him to put it down. Jared goes to the living room to discover that Uncle Howee and Loomis are there. Loomis imitates Jared in a mocking way to highlight how terribly Jared has been treating Cynthia. Uncle Howee tells Loomis to be nice to Jared, but Uncle Howee calls Jared a "hateful bully." Jared calls the police, but Uncle Howee intercepts his phone call. Uncle Howee makes Jared play a game where he has to find Cynthia within one minute and Mr. Clock will keep the time. Uncle Howee says that if Jared finds Cynthia, he gets to keep her. If not, Jared loses Cynthia forever and he will have to find a way to explain it to his mom. Jared hears Cynthia's voice all throughout the house, but every time he tries to follow her voice, he ends up falling into Uncle Howee's traps.

Jared loses the game and Uncle Howee and Loomis insult him some more. Jared insults Uncle Howee and Loomis and then he asks where Loomis's puppeteer is. It is revealed that Loomis does not have a puppeteer. Jared accepts defeat and asks Uncle Howee what he wants. Uncle Howee says that he wants to be Jared's friend. Jared reluctantly accepts, thinking that this will bring Cynthia back.

A few hours later, Cynthia's mother comes home from work to find her watching "Uncle Howee." The mother asks Cynthia where Jared is. Initially, Cynthia does not answer. It is then revealed that Uncle Howee turned Jared into a puppet for his show. When the Jared puppet appears on TV, Cynthia says to her mother "There he is!" Cynthia giggles and waves to the Jared puppet while her mother watches in horror.
