"The House of Ghosting" is a new episode of Pencil 2.O, and until recently, there has been neither number nor date associated. In this episode, the family stay at a haunted house where strange things happen. This is the first full adaptation, coming from the 1908 film The House of Ghosts[1]

Home
- Pencil: I don' know o' this. 'Ow shall we h'explain'e to the kids?
- Pen: Come on, they'll love it! All ten of them agreed that a holiday is what we need.
- Pencil: Really, Pen? All ten of 'em?
- Pen: Well, Cil just replied with "Goo" but I know he'd like it!
- Pencil: I suppose you'se a reason. I mean, this 'ouse is leakin' so much—I don' know 'ow long this can stand'e!
- Pen: Exactly!
- Pencil: Wait, did ye jus' do thet to prove thet you were right?
- Pen: Maybe.
- Pencil: Oh, you—
- Cil: Goo!
- Pencil: Oh! The kids are 'ome! Can't wait f'r'ee to tell 'em the news.
[Sio opens the door.]
- Sio: Hey everyone, we're back!
[A. R. I. The talking continues for the next few seconds.]
- Pencil: [whistling] Oi, yer father's got an announcement!
- Pen: 'Kay. Remember that talk we had last night?
[Flashback.]
- Salvador: But Dad, we don't want to be here!
- Javier: I do!
- The rest: Shh!
- Zorah: Your opinion doesn't matter!
- Pen: Why not?
- Saye: Just four months ago this place looked great! Was it the boys again?
- Salvador: Again? We did nothing!
- Pencil: Okay! I think wot yer father's a-sayin's thet you need to be grateful fer yer surroundings. Sure our place ain' good but it's better than livin' with yer avozinha, innit?
[Beat.]
- Sio: Maybe...
[End flashback.]
- Pen: And that's when we both agreed—
- Saye: Wait, did you just recap a recap?
- Pen: Maybe...
- Pencil: All of us are goin' on 'oliday!
[Everyone cheers. Whoo!]
- Ximena: So when are we leaving?
- Pencil: It's 3:30 right now, so...
- Pen: We leave at 1600 hours.
- Qalam-Rassas: Huh?
- Javier: He means thirty minutes—I got to pack my everything!
- Sio: So do I!
- Zorah: What are we waiting for?
- Yaretzi: Let's go!
[At once, all of the kids go to their rooms.]
- Pencil: Wow. 'Ow fast'll'ee thinks the kids geh'n an' pack?
- Pen: I have no idea, but that was easy.
- Pencil: Oh God.
- Pen: That was the easiest thing I've ever—
- Citlali: Done!
[The kids come back, together with their packed suitcases.]
- Pencil: [sigh] I knew we should 'a' made 'em share cases.
- Pen: You've packed already?
- Sio: Dad, now's not the best time to share this, but we've been planning this forever.
- Javier: I'm just so excited, we're having our very first family vacation!
[They cheer again.]
- Pencil: [to Pen] Omg, we've ne'er gone on 'oliday as a family before! I've chaperoned Avi's trip to the science museum an' if fifty 9-year-ols in advanced science shluld be h'a h'indicator, I fear fer this family trip.
- Pen: Don't worry! The General knows how to fix things.
[Pencil whistles again and everyone becomes quiet.]
- Pen: Alright, we have two rules!
- Yaretzi: Never spend more than your allowance?
- Pen: Okay, three rules. Second: supermarket etiquette applies on holiday as it does in the city.
- Javier: Oh no, we're going to march on the spot again.
- Pen: And third, have fun!
- Pencil: Which, I assure'ee, won' be problematic acos we're fun parents, yeah?
- Pen: Totally fun!
- Kids: [half-heartedly] Yeah...
- Pencil: We need someone to watch the baby, though.
- Qalam-Rassas: Aww, Cil isn't coming with us?
- Pencil: Y'knows 'e don' like goin' out. Thet's why we're 'irin' a babysitter.
- Pen: And a plumber.
- Saye: Ooh.
- Ximena: Who is it?
[A few minutes later, Match and Eraser have shown up.]
- The girls: Aunt Match?
- The boys: Uncle Eraser?
- Pen: I never knew you plumbed! You got a licence?
- Eraser: No, everyone knows you just kick the wall, and bar-da-bing it's fixed!
- Match: You truly are, like, an insult.
- Eraser: You what?
- Pencil: Oi, please don' argue before the baby!
- Match: Don't worry, Pen-Penc, your house will be perfect when you come back... whenever that is.
- Sio: Thanks!
- Javier: We knew we could count on you.
- Salvador: We're leaving now!
[A. R. I. of valediction.]
On the road
Vocalist(s): The kids
Kids: ♫ We're going on holiday,
Holiday, holiday,
We're going on holiday,
Which starts some time today! ♫
- Pencil: 'Ow long's'ee thinks this'll go on?
- Pen: Who knows?
- Pencil: I do!
[She turns on the radio.]
- Javier: Father, may I ask a question?
- Pen: Sure!
- Javier: Where exactly are we going?
[A. R. I. of agreement.]
- Pen: I don't know yet.
- Zorah: What? You can't drive us to wherever, and not know where we're going!
- Pen: How about this... I'll keep driving, and until there's something that the nine of you agree on, we'll stop there.
- Saye: What is this, trial by jury?
- Pencil: 'O cares... the farther we're geh'n from our 'ome, the better. [to the kids] So start findin' areas!
- Javier: Hey, look outside!
- Ximena: What is it?
- Javier: The Museum of Small Parts and Motors!
- Pencil: Boooor—
- Sio: Can we stop there?
- Pencil: Well, wot do the rest of'ee think?
- Salvador: No.
- Pencil: An' we continue.
- Yaretzi: How about New Mogadishu Park?
- Pencil: Wot's ye thinkin'?
[Almost all of them agree.]
- Citlali: Are you kidding? I can't be out in nature like this?
- Saye: This is pointless! We're never going to find a place that everyone likes! All of us are different, even the twins.
- Pen: I'm sure that out of all of the places in the city, there has to be something you all enjoy.
- Pencil: The possibilities are limitless!
Night
- Pen: Aw, seriously?
- Pencil: It really geh'n an' take'ee h'until night to find a place? 'Ow tergiversate are'ee?
- Javier: Oh, we're passing the city limits.
- Pencil: Boy, get yer ID h'out.
- Javier: Okay!
- Pencil: I means yer father.
- Pen: It's hanging on the roof.
- Pencil: Why?
- Pen: I thought it'd come in handy, and it did!
- Citlali: Attention people! Your search is over.
- Salvador: Girl, no one wants to see Abacaba-in-Africa.
- Citlali: You mean Akihabara-in-Africa. Or as I call it, heaven! But no, this is serious.
[They look outside and see an interesting-looking hotel.]
- Qalam-Rassas: I want to stay at that house!
- Salvador: That's not a house, it's a hotel!
- Yaretzi: Looks kind of dirty.
- Zorah: Not as dirty as our house!
- Sio: Can we stay there?
- Javier: Yeah, can we?
- Pencil: [looks over] Colonial British Eas' Africa? [sarcastically] Noice.
- Salvador: Does that mean you don't want to be here?
- Pen: Yeah. We should go somewhere else.
- Kids: No!
- Saye: You said if all nine of us agreed!
- Pen: I did say that... Okay, we can stay at this place.
[The car is driven far from the location.]
- Ximena: We missed our place!
- Pen: For some reason, there isn't any parking.
- Pencil: Wot kind o' place's thet?
- Javier: I have no idea, but I feel like we're going to have to do some walking.
- Qalam-Rassas: Oh no!
At the house in Nairobi
- Match: This is so boring!
- Eraser: No it's not.
- Match: Just pack it up, like, you're not going to fix this any day soon.
- Eraser: Do you have to be so negative?
- Match: Omg, not in front of the baby!
- Eraser: That reminds me, what the hell are you going to feed it?
- Match: Him, Cil's a boy.
- Cil: Goo!
- Match: And I know exactly what I'll feed him.
- Eraser: What?
- Match: Sharpening juice.
- Eraser: Gross!
- Match: I'm sorry, he's everything oh natu-rall!
- Eraser: Should we watch a horror movie?
- Match: Yeah! A Children's Geometry?
- Eraser: Pentagons fוק me up.
- Match: Just put it on, huh?
Outside
- Yaretzi: When did the weather get so mean?
- Javier: It seems impossible for it so change so quickly.
- Qalam-Rassas: We... we've been walking for ages!
- Saye: Yeah, when are we going to stop?
- Pencil: Apparently when we see thet 'ouse ye'd been a-seein'.
- Pen: Hold on, people, I think I see it.
[They all look at a house very reminiscent of that from the original movie. Birds fly in the background very artificially.]
- Qalam-Rassas: I think this is the gingerbread house house!
- Pencil: Looks like somethin' out of Europe er somewhere.
- Sio: This was so different from inside the car!
- Ximena: Should we go inside?
- Pen: If it looks nice...
- Pencil: Is'ee says we should enter an' take'e? Oi, I understand thet's wot yer father does fer a livin' but thet don' mean you should do too!
- Pen: I wasn't saying that—
- Pencil: Oh, come on. Real estate in this areer is cheap!
[Meanwhile, as Pencil and Pen argue, Saye takes a selfie in front of the house.]
- Citlali: Did you just take a selfie?
- Saye: Yeah, want in?
- Citlali: Omg!
[She gets in another selfie with her.]
- Citlali: And tag it #sistas4eva!
- Sio: Hey, can you reblog that to me?
- Citlali: Are you stupid?
- Saye: You can't reblog anything!
- Citlali: This is PYM!
- Saye: Go back to Tumbukr!
- Sio: It's for surveillance purposes; maybe someone can tell us where we are.
[With the parents.]
- Pencil: Okay, but neighbourhood etiquette follows! If they speaks in Kiswahili, leave the talkin' to me!
- Pen: Deal. [to the kids] So our arguments are settled!
- Salvador: Finally!
- Pencil: An' ye?
- Saye: Yeah.
- Citlali: Sure.
[Pen goes up to the door.]
- Saye: Oh, we going in?
- Javier: This is scary!
- Pencil: Aye, but yer father's to knock firs'.
[Pen knocks on the door slowly.]
- Zorah: DON'T GO IN THERE!
- Salvador: Oh, now you talk!
- Yaretzi: You've been a little quiet.
- Pen: [staring at the door] You good back there?
- Zorah: You think I'm going to let you go inside?
- Pencil: Aye, thet's expected.
- Zorah: Well I'm not! I feel something inside me.
- Sio: So do I, and I think it'll whither away in the rain!
- Javier: This is our only refuge from the rain—
[The rain gets louder.]
- Javier: The lightning—
[The house gets struck by lightning.]
- Lightning: [voice heard only] Sorry, guys!
- Pencil: No problem, m8!
- Javier: And from the wind!
- Saye: What are you talking about, there's no win—
- All: Woah!
[Everyone gets blown into the interior of the house. They fall on the floor. After the thunder sound, the exterior turns into a non-object face.]
- Salvador: That's a fine welcome!
- Pencil: Oi, can'ee be h'any louder?
- Zorah: Yeah!
- Salvador: Okay. THAT'S A FINE WELCOME!
- Zorah: SHHH! The scary thing could be inside!
- Sio: Yeah, and the scary thing turns out to be you.
- Ximena: Anyway, why do you get to be the hero?
- Salvador: You saved the day once!
- Yaretzi: It was a team effort, y'know.
- Citlali: Er, guys?
[The suitcases start to move away. Half of the kids catch theirs in time. A. R. I.]
- Pencil: As adults, it's our jobs to protect'ee chil'n.
- Pen: Yeah, Penc, you go out there!
- Pencil: Thet was your bag!
- Pen: What?
- Pencil: Quick lest it geh' 'way!
- Pen: Oh, bestemmia.
[He hurries outside, but lightning strikes right by the door. Everyone else screams, but Pen returns unharmed.]
- Pen: I'm fine!
- Sio: Woah!
[He sees a poster in front of him with a Victorian-era frame.]
- Sio: Avi, help me find the age on this thing!
- Javier: Ooh, an old map? It's beautiful! Let's see[2]... Constantinople... Canada... Tokyo...
- Citlali: Did you say Tokyo? Nani?[3]
- Salvador: He's staring at a piece of paper.
- Qalam-Rassas: That's the Earth!
- Saye: What would a nine-year-old want to do with that?
[By now, all of the kids are crowded around the map.]
- Zorah: Stop! Don't find anything out!
- Pencil: I don' see wot's wrong with a bit o' curio—
[The picture immediately changes into an image of Evil Leafy against a black background. They scream again as this image begins to contort itself. Javier hides under a blanket on the bed and Q.R. starts to run.]
- Pencil: Wot'n'ale's thet?!
- Citlali: Omg!
- Sio: Screamer, be gone!
- Yaretzi: If you please!
- Saye: [to herself] I'm at the mall, I'm at the mall...
- Zorah: See?
- Citlali: Is it moving?
- Pen: Why's she making a swastika?
- Citlali: That's a manji, it's very popular in Japan.
- Javier: [under the blanket] Like you're one to know!
- Citlali: I'm a-dance!
[Before she can make a move, the Evil Leafy changes back into a map.]
- Pencil: Will someone explain wot'n'ale thet thing was?
- Saye: A really ugly person?
- Sio: I'm still shocked!
- Javier: Let's just leave!
- Pencil: No!
- Pen: We paid good money just to enter.
- Zorah: You mean we just entered a witch's house without knocking?
- Pen: I mean in petrol. And I'm sure your Aunt Match and Uncle Eraser are doing well.
At the family's house
- Eraser: He's drawing a pentagon!
- Match: Omg, omg, omg, I'm scared for some reason too!
[Cil is watching too, but he isn't scared.]
At the haunted house
- Pen: So let's settle down.
- Javier: The lack of a television set is disturbing.
- Yaretzi: Look! Chairs! And there's ten of them!
- Qalam-Rassas: We have those in school!
- Saye: Can we play musical chairs?
- Pen: Well...
[Saye glares at him. Jump cut to the family having arranged the chairs in a circular way, and they are playing music to it. Saye presses the pause button, and everyone finds a chair, but as soon as each person sits down on one, it disappears.]
- Javier: OW![4]
[They all talk at once.]
- Qalam-Rassas: Ah! Ghost!
[They look and the blanket has risen from the bed and floats around.]
- Citlali: THROW A CHAIR AT IT!
- Salvador: We ain't got no chairs, moron!
[Salvador throws Citlali's luggage bag at it.]
- Citlali: No! That was my rouge, noir, blanc and vert!
- Zorah: You brought make-up?
- Citlali: Duh, you wouldn't?
[A table appears out of nowhere. The blanket ghost disappears.]
- Sio: Did anyone else see the table?
- Pencil: Let's eat! I'm a-starvin'!
- Javier: We should have stopped for some sorghum earlier.
- Saye: Who knows what kind of food they have here!
- Yaretzi: It's not that bad! It's a house, and there'll still be food!
- Pen: You know the rules, right kids?
- All the kids: Each of you is responsible for his or her side of the table.
- Pencil: Y'drilled the kids on thet, m8?
- Citlali: I'll get the tablecloth!
- Salvador: So this house has a tablecloth but no TV?
- Pencil: [Aside.] All the better to colonise with.
- Sio: Let's see the menu!
[He goes into a cabinet and takes out some bread crumbs. By magic, the table rearranges itself.[5]]
- Pencil: An' now, we h'eat!
[As soon as each person picks up their fork, it disappears along with the fork and then the table.]
House
- Voice, in the film: It's because of a specific five-sided shape.
- Another voice: Oh no! The five-sided shape! It's coming!
- Voice: Not the five-sided shape!
- Eraser: Ah, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off!
[She pauses the movie.]
- Match: Omg, why? They didn't even mention, like, "pentagon".
- Eraser: Yeah, but they spoke around it. In every horror movie, that's just the scene before it pops up!
- Match: You're lying.
[She un-pauses the movie. A pentagon appears out of nowhere, scaring Eraser.]
- Eraser: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—
- Match: Shut up! The baby's, like, sleeping, which means we can make out!
- Eraser: Wait!
- Match: Wha-hat?
- Eraser: Do you think Pen's coming back? He ain't answering my texts.
- Match: Like, Pencil isn't either. We've been ghosted!
- Eraser: In that case, let me go and mark my territ—
[Match slaps him.]
- Match: No!
- Eraser: I mean, let's make out!
- Match: Omg, yay!
At the haunted house
- Javier: I can't believe I watched an entire dinner be prepared, only for it to disappear.
- Salvador: So?
- Javier: That's called toying with emotions! It's rude.
- Ximena: Mm-hmm.
- Citlali: Omg, my selfie didn't post yet!
- Saye: You should have done it outside!
- Citlali: Well, how many likes did you get?
- Saye: I... don't know.
- Salvador: Hey people, it's getting late!
- Pencil: Oh, aye, it's the time fer the small ones to sleep.
- Javier: There's no bathroom. How shall I brush my teeth?
- Pen: I guess you should just skip tonight.
- Javier: But... my dental hygiene!
- Salvador: I CALL THE BED!
- Pencil: Really? I think all of'ee should sleeps on the floor. Me'n yer father's got the bed.
- Ximena: Yeah, why not? I do it anyway!
- Saye: But that bed is made for one person.
- Pencil: 'Twon' be a problem; we're basically one person, yeah?
- Pen: Right-o! [Beat.] Oh, you meant our bodies.
- Zorah: You can't do that!
- Pen: Why not?
- Zorah: Because, that bed's the only place in the house that hasn't been haunted yet!
- Pen: Zorah's right.
[After they set up: everyone is on the floor, except for Citlali, who has brought her matress and five dakimakuras.]
- Saye: Really? You had to bring those?
- Citlali: Got to sleep like an anime queen to turn into one!
- Yaretzi: I think I'd like to pray tonight.
- Salvador: To which God? Catholic or Jewish?
- Yaretzi: Yes.
- Qalam-Rassas: Mummy, I can't sleep! Everybody's talking!
- Pencil: No h'offence, all, but shut up! If y'wants to speak, then whisper.
- Sio: Yeah, all this excitement is doing nothing to help me sleep!
- Zorah: [in her sleep] Avada kedavra...
[View from above.]
- Sio: [whispering] We look like a xylophone.
[Suddenly, the house actually tilts. A. R. I.]
- Zorah: Ah, who woke me up?
- Pencil: Oh great, we're all grouped up jus' like we're sardines!
- Javier: It feels roomy.
- Salvador: [under the mattress] You don't have Lallie's stupid thing on top of you, that's why!
- Zorah: Everyone, take the bed!
- Pencil: But you says thet—
- Zorah: It's because they're mad! Mad at us because we won't sleep on the bed!
- Pen: [to Pencil] How is it that our eight-year-old has better logical skills than we do?
- Pencil: Get on the bed, m8!
[They all do so, including Citlali and her pillows. A. R. I. of relief. Then the house starts to tilt left.]
- Qalam-Rassas: No, no, no, no!
- Saye: Nice job.
- Zorah: They clearly want something else.
[The house tilts right.]
- Salvador: If we have to sacrifice someone to this house I vote Avi.
- Javier: What? Mum!
- Pencil: Oi, no one's bein' sacrificed. If one of us mus' geh, then all mus' geh toge'er!
- Pen: Your mum's right—with the loss of one, the other ten must geh—I mean, go.
[The house tilts to the left again, but it stops as randomly scattered fires appear in the room. Everyone screams.]
- Pencil: E'eryone 'old tight! I don' know 'ow they dealt with firey back in the days of ol'!
- Yaretzi: This is scary!
[One of the fires goes onto one of Citlali's pillows.]
- Citlali: NO! Not Sora!
- Zorah: I'm right here!
[The fire disappears.]
- Pencil: Thank goodness thet's o'er.
- Zorah: That must be revenge.
[The house tilts again, but this time, getting faster. Strange mechanical noises.]
- Salvador: WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
- Sio: Just close your eyes and pretend you're at Drowsyland.
- Citlali: Kay-kay!
- Salvador: Already done.
- All: Whee!
[The house turns upside down for a split second, but after that goes to the correct position again.]
- Qalam-Rassas: Aw, it's over?
- Saye: That... was actually fun!
- Pen: You really think so, because I thought so!
[A. R. I. of agreement.]
- Pencil: You know, maybe this 'oliday did turn out well after all.
- Ximena: I knew we'd like it!
- Salvador: Can this be our winter home?
- Javier: I was thinking that this would just turn out really bad. But that was actually cool! I wish ghosts could do our dinner for us!
- Pencil: Let's jus' get some sleep. G'night!
[A. R. I. of eunocturnal salutation. Pencil claps twice in hopes that the light turn off, and it does. She squees quietly in response. Silence for a few seconds. Then, Evil Leafy appears with a bang, replacing the wall of the house.[6] It gathers the family in a bag and raises them from the bed. None of them notice because they are sleeping. Evil Leafy descends and appears in the forest, spilling them out of a bag and to another place.]
Notes
- ↑ I wouldn't consider this a creepypasta, considering the fact that the original film was called a comedy, though horror by today's standards.
- ↑ Based on this comic.
- ↑ (Jp.) "What?"
- ↑ This sort of replaces the "clothes floating in the air" scene because, well, they're objects.
- ↑ I couldn't resist leaving out the details; 36% of that film was that dinner scene. I don't know if it was the fact that setting the table was a big deal in 1908 or Chomón wanted to show off his preview to Beauty and the Beast.
- ↑ It would be scarier than the demon thing in the original film, which appears gradually for some reason.
