Transcript:
Alice: My name is Alice Otterloop, and I'm 4 years old. I live in Cul de Sac, a suburban community ringed by a might wall and girded by a moat of stagnant traffic. Its placid exterior hides mysteries to chill the blood! Alice: Yonder stands the haunted gazebo, where no one ever dares set foot. Yet, on midsummer's eve, its suffused with a special light, and the murmured prayers of ghostly druid priests can be heard! Alice: Or the Uncanny Old Lady, a throwback to a time before cul de sac! From her Kitsch-filled yard, she beckons, seeking to turn the unwary into small yappy dogs with her dire magic! Grandma: What'd she say? Mom: Alice! Stop being silly and come talk to your grandma!

I’ll bet the “ghostly Druid priests” are Dill’s brothers.

Anyone who stands in the gazebo on Midsummer’s, May eve or Hallowe’en may disappear, be changed or be a zombie here after.
