"The Haunting Hour" Season Two Villains Quiz

Answer: Dr. Mangle

John is a huge fan of old movies. He invites his best friend Nathan to a movie marathon at his house. but Nathan would rather go to a party with his new girlfriend Lisa. Nathan convinces John to go to the party instead. On the way there, John spots a drive-in movie theater that is playing "I Was a Teenage Tick," the movie that John had planned on watching at home with Nathan. John gets out of the car and goes to the theater. Lisa wants to drive off and leave John there, but Nathan refuses to let that happen. They all end up stopping there.

The theater has nobody in it but these three people. Nathan repeatedly urges John to get back in the car, but he refuses. John sneaks into the projection booth and Nathan and Lisa follow him there. John turns on the projector and that puts him in the movie. Nathan and Lisa try to get him out, but they can't. Dr. Wright (from the movie) asks John why he is there. John tells him that he is a university student who skipped a few grades. Dr. Wright's daughter, Marjorie, walks in and seems to instantly fall in love with him. John, who knows everything about the movie, tries to warn them both about Dr. Mangle, but they don't believe him.

A police officer comes in to question Nathan and Lisa. They don't know how to answer his questions. They try to warn him not to turn on the projector, but he doesn't listen. He gets pulled into the movie and then he is killed by the teenage tick.

John gets into Dr. Mangle's lab and finds Marjorie trapped there. He sets her free, but they don't get out of the lab in time and then they both end up trapped there. In a desperate attempt to save John, Nathan and Lisa go back in the projection booth and cut the film. This works, but they were a little too late. John was bitten by the tick before he was rescued. The dead cop is also taken out of the movie.

The next day, Nathan calls John to tell him that the newspaper has an article about a police officer being found in a vacant parking lot and the drive-in theater was not mentioned. John turns into a tick monster and starts terrorizing the neighborhood. Lisa and Nathan look around town to try and find John. Eventually, they find that the police are posting "Wanted" posters for a tick monster wearing John's shirt (a shirt that Nathan bought for John for his birthday). They also hear the police talking about a shotgun and are afraid they will kill John. Nathan and Lisa find John and they all go into the movie to get an antidote from Dr. Mangle's lab.

They all end up trapped there. Dr. Mangle's assistant Barry is about to eat Marjorie, but then John breaks out of his cage and the two ticks get in a fight. Lisa gets a foot free and kicks the cabinet so that a container of acid falls on Barry's head and kills him. Dr. Mangle is about to kill Marjorie, but then John kills him and sets everyone else free.

When the movie ends, Nathan and Lisa get out, but John isn't with them. Then, they see a trailer for a sequel to "I Was a Teenage Tick" in which John is the star. It is revealed that John has decided to remain in the movie world and not return to the real world (he had previously told Nathan and Lisa more than once that he'd rather live in the movies than in the real world). Nathan and Lisa say goodbye to John and Marjorie is revealed to be a tick monster. The episode ends with John saying "Fade to black."

Answer: Tyler

Tyler bullies Norman repeatedly for no reason. He gives him a swirlie, a wedgie, a punch, and he reads some of his notes about insects very loudly. Norman befriends the insects. Eventually, he collects a lot of insects and unleashes them on Tyler in the school bathroom.

He forces Tyler to give himself a wedgie. He tells Tyler that if he messes with Norman again, he will squash him like a bug.

Answer: Manny

After telling Tyler that he will squash him like a bug if Tyler messes with him again, Norman squashes one of the bugs who had just helped him get revenge against Tyler. Manny, a praying mantis and the king of the insects, sees this and he is not happy.

At home, the insects try to break into Norman's bedroom. Norman realizes they turned on him because he killed one of them. He verbally abuses them and tries to seal up all the cracks in the house and every possible entrance. He misses one small hole.

The insects go through that hole under Manny's command and they kill Norman.

Answer: Vincent

Vincent sits next to Josh on the airplane. Vincent is a ghost and only Josh can hear or see him. Vincent refuses to accept that he is dead, and this causes the airplane's power to fail and nearly causes it to crash. Eventually, Josh cheers him up by telling him that he is envious of the life that he had (Vincent was a rich man who traveled a lot).

This convinces Vincent to accept his fate. After the grim reaper takes Vincent to heaven, the airplane's power turns back on and everybody is safe.

Answer: Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper looks like just a regular old woman who is knitting in her seat. She reveals her true face to Josh and Vincent. She is on the plane to take Vincent to heaven, but he has difficulty accepting that he is dead. As a result, she turns off the airplane's power and nearly causes it to crash. Eventually, Josh convinces Vincent to accept his fate, and she restores the airplane's power.

After the airplane lands, Josh tells her that he realizes that the reason he was the only one who could see Vincent is because his life was similar to Vincent's and she decided that he was the only one who could convince him.

He leaves and says "later," to which she replies "without a doubt" as the episode ends.

Answer: Old Man Palmer

The episode begins by showing us a poster of a boy who had been missing for a year and was last seen on Route 12. It's Halloween, but this town forbids trick-or-treating in the street because three kids went missing last Halloween. Trick-or-treating is only allowed in the school cafeteria. The mom goes out of the house to go to work, and she leaves her oldest child, Allie, in charge of her two younger brothers, Scott (the middle child) and Dave (the youngest). Scott is not okay with only trick-or-treating in the school's cafeteria and Dave is not okay with the tiny pumpkins that he has. Scott comes up with the idea to go to Old Man Palmer's farm for some larger pumpkins. Allie did not like the idea because it's a private farm and those pumpkins belong to Old Man Palmer, but Scott eventually convinces her to take them.

The farm is on Route 12. As the kids wander around the barn, they see some human bodies with pumpkin heads (they think that the human bodies are mannequins). They decide to hurry out of the farm. On their way out, Old Man Palmer catches them. He measures Scott's head and says "not quite ripe yet" and he tells the kids to go away and never come back. They do, but they foolishly take two pumpkins before they leave. Because of that, the kids end up being followed home (unbeknownst to them).

Back at home, the kids carve the pumpkins. One of them is filled with worms while the other one has a human tooth. Allie thinks that the tooth is a weird pumpkin seed. Scott throws the pumpkins away.

That night, Scott becomes increasingly frustrated by the whole town's unwillingness to go out on Halloween and he says he wants to go back to Old Man Palmer's farm. Allie refuses and suggests a movie marathon, telling Scott to go to the kitchen and make popcorn. Scott starts to do that but then he gets kidnapped. Allie calls for Scott but, when he is nowhere to be found, she assumes that he snuck out of the house and went back to Old Man Palmer's farm.

Allie drives to the farm and she tells Dave to wait in the car. While Allie searches the farm, she discovers the horrifying truth. The three missing kids died on Old Man Palmer's farm (they probably trespassed there and stole some pumpkins just like Allie, Scott, and Dave did). Old Man Palmer cut off their heads and replaced them with pumpkins. Then he put their heads into the ground and turned them into pumpkins. Those three kids are now pumpkinheads who come alive on Halloween to turn other trespassers/thieves into pumpkinheads. When Scott stole two pumpkins from the farm, the pumpkinheads followed him home and eventually kidnapped him. They took him back to the farm and turned him into a pumpkinhead. The four pumpkinheads surround Allie, who is horrified to learn that she cannot escape.

At the end of the episode, Allie is now a pumpkinhead and she approaches the car where Dave is waiting. The episode ends there, leaving the audience to wonder whether or not Dave will be okay. The sequel, "Return of the Pumpkinheads," reveals that Dave escaped and made it to the police station. It also reveals that Old Man Palmer passed away within 12 months between when the two episodes take place.

Answer: Big Yellow

This episode takes place in a high school. The high school's mascot is Big Yellow, a big yellow monster that dances to marching band music with unimpressive dance moves. Nobody likes Big Yellow because they don't know what kind of creature he is (Drake suggests that he might be a marsupial) or who he is. Everyone thinks he's a student in costume, but no one knows which student. They do not like the music that he dances to nor do they like his dance moves. Additionally, he pushes a cheerleader for no reason which gives him even more enemies.

The protagonists, a big kid named Willie and a smaller-but-smarter kid named Drake, team up to get Big Yellow removed from his position and to get a new mascot. They quickly get all the signatures that they need, but then the principal tells them that they need to tell Big Yellow that he is getting fired. Neither the principal, the basketball coach, nor the team manager know who Big Yellow is. The team manager said that the previous team manager appointed Big Yellow, but then he mysteriously disappeared (the current team manager thinks he retired and went on vacation). The team manager also tells the kids that Big Yellow has a room in the basement.

When they get to Big Yellow's room, they get scared. They decide that they don't want to open the door and talk to him in person. Instead, they leave a note telling him that he is fired and put it under the door. He rips the note to pieces.

The next day, Willie and Drake hold auditions for a new mascot. The winner is Wolfie, a dancing wolf. Big Yellow informs the kids of a school rule that even fired mascots must be given a chance to audition. He auditions, but Willie turns off the music before he is finished. Big Yellow looks menacingly at Willie. That night, Big Yellow finds Wolfie and eats him alive.

The next morning, Willie finds Wolfie's head in his bed. He shows it to Drake at school the next day, hoping Drake will help him defeat Big Yellow. Drake suggests calling the police, but Willie tells Drake that the police might think that Willie and Drake are the killers because Willie currently has Wolfie's head. Willie says that the boys have to handle it on their own because they're the only ones who know who did it. Drake backs out, so Willie decides to confront Big Yellow by himself.

Willie sneaks into Big Yellow's room and finds a photo of the previous team manager and a photo of Wolfie, both with a red X over them. He also finds Big Yellow's ID, which just has a photo of Big Yellow and not of a person. When Willie hears Big Yellow coming, he hides. Big Yellow realizes that someone is in his home, so he leaves, locks the door and then activates a gas trap.

Willie escapes the room and then finds Big Yellow in the gym. He antagonizes Big Yellow some more and then he takes off Big Yellow's head. To his horror, Willie finds out that Big Yellow is not a student in costume. Big Yellow is a real monster. Willie then turns around, satisfied in what he thinks is victory. He thinks he killed Big Yellow by taking off his head. Big Yellow's head goes back onto his body.

The next day, Drake cannot find Willie nor contact him by the phone. Drake goes to the basketball game to search for him. When Big Yellow comes to the floor, Drake calls Willie. Drake hears Willie's phone ringing, so he gets closer and closer to the source of the ringing. To his horror, Drake realizes that the phone is ringing from inside Big Yellow's stomach. Willie is trapped inside Big Yellow's stomach screaming "Drake!" while his phone battery runs out. Big Yellow looks menacingly at Drake, possibly to imply that he intends to eat Drake too. Willie is probably digested by Big Yellow's stomach acids shortly after the episode ends. Drake's fate is unknown.

Answer: The Stranger

The stranger walks into a clothing store and finishes a poem that the cashier was reading. He says it's about the end of the world, and he says that the end of the world is a good thing because everything will be quiet when the world ends. When he walks out of the store, everyone there is nervous. We never learn his name because he is just referred to as "the stranger" in the closing credits.

He sells a scarecrow to a young girl named Jenny, who was frustrated that the crows were eating her crops. She assembles the scarecrow, but just as she's about to put it in her cornfield, it disappears. She accuses her older brother Bobby of stealing it because he didn't want her buying anything from the man. He denies knowing anything about where it went. That night, the land is unusually quiet and the kids cannot find their pet dog.

The next morning, the scarecrow appears in Jenny's field. There are no crows and no damage to her crops, so she is very pleased with the scarecrow. Bobby finds it weird that it just showed up there and he suggests burning it, but she refuses. Later, Bobby goes to his portion of the land to feed his cows, but they are nowhere to be found.

The next day, Bobby's girlfriend Amy sees the stranger in the diner. She screams and then she calls Bobby to explain what is going on. Bobby cannot understand what she is talking about so he goes to the diner to check on her, but all he can find is her phone. There are no people in the diner. While looking for Amy in other stores, Jenny calls him to tell him that the scarecrow is gone. Bobby sees the stranger driving towards their house and he tells her to go inside and lock the door. She runs, but the scarecrow is in her way no matter where she goes. When she gets in her house, there is a trail of straw leading deeper in the house. The scarecrow appears at the front door and she cries.

When Bobby gets home, no one is there but the stranger. He says that everybody in the world has disappeared except him and Bobby. He says that it is the end of the world and it is all quiet and that it is perfect. He says he kept Bobby alive because it wouldn't be perfect if he had no one to share it with. It is never explained why, out of all the people in the world, Bobby is the person he chose to keep alive. It is revealed that the stranger is the scarecrow. He can shapeshift into a scarecrow and then back into an ordinary man whenever he wants.

This episode has two endings. When it premiered, it was shown twice with both endings. The first time, it ended with Bobby burning the scarecrow. He then spends the rest of his days in a world that is completely empty except for him. The second time, Bobby is turned into a scarecrow and the two scarecrows stand in what used to be Jenny's field to watch the world end. After both endings aired, a poll was conducted online to ask fans which ending they preferred. The fans voted for the second ending, so when this episode is shown as a rerun, the second ending is usually the ending that is shown.

Answer: Meg

Meg and Amelia had been best friends for a long time. That changes on the bus ride to summer camp, when Meg calls the newcomers "losers." Amelia ends her friendship with Meg and befriends a newcomer named Lisa. Meg gets jealous and repeatedly bullies Lisa. One of the worst examples of this is when Meg tells the story of a girl at camp 20 years ago who died in her sleep and was killed by The Dream Catcher.

Another bad example is when Meg breaks Lisa's and Amelia's dreamcatchers. The dreamcatchers kept the girls safe from The Dream Catcher, but now those two girls were vulnerable to it. They both have nightmares where they see the Dream Catcher. Lisa has unexplained cuts on her arms and her face every time she wakes up, so she and Amelia realize that Meg's story was real. They decide to stay up all night talking and not sleeping. They also set an alarm clock to wake them up if they fall asleep. This annoys Meg, who decides to sleep in the mess hall so she won't hear them. Lisa breaks Meg's dreamcatcher to get revenge, and now Meg is vulnerable to the Dream Catcher.

They cannot stay awake forever, so they fall asleep. The Dream Catcher kidnaps Amelia and Lisa screams, which wakes up Meg from the mess hall. Lisa tells Meg that she desperately needs her help to rescue Amelia and that Meg should want to help Amelia because they used to be best friends. Meg refuses, saying that she and Amelia are not friends anymore. Lisa decides to rescue Amelia by herself.

Lisa hears Amelia's screams coming from a cave. When Lisa goes there, it is one giant spider web. She finds Amelia trapped there and tries to save her, but she gets trapped too. Meg enters the cave and the two girls are excited to see her, thinking that she decided to save them after all. Meg takes Lisa's flashlight and says "I am an only child, I don't like to share." She attempts to leave the cave and leave the two of them to die, but she gets stuck in the spider web too. Just as the Dream Catcher comes for them, the alarm clock goes off, waking up Lisa and Amelia and saving their lives. Meg slept in the mess hall and did not hear the alarm clock, so she remained asleep. She tried to convince herself that she was awake, but then the Dream Catcher says "If you were awake, I wouldn't be here." Meg screams as the episode ends.

Answer: Giant Spider

The Dream Catcher is a giant spider with a head that looks like Marilyn Manson. It appears at a girls summer camp, capturingany girls that it finds and putting them in a giant spider web in its cave where it can eat them. It is warded off by dreamcatchers: little nets that the girls make on their first days of summer camp. Sometimes, those dreamcatchers get broken. Any girl without a dreamcatcher or a broken dreamcatcher is at risk of being killed by him.

It rarely speaks, but it says "If you were awake, I wouldn't be here" to its victim at the end of the episode.

Answer: Margolin

Margolin is an abusive sorcerer who lives in an old shack in the woods. He has two servants: a boy named Ned and a girl named Sara. Ned came to him to learn magic, but he lived there for two years and never learned any magic. Sara lives there because he threatened to kill her family if she didn't.

He does not care about their best interests and he just makes them fetch spell ingredients, clean the shack, and do whatever he wants them to do. In one scene, he steal Sara's tongue because he thought she was lying.

He then found out that she wasn't lying. One important thing that Ned learns from him is that eel gut looks exactly like a sleeping potion. He learns this when Margolin asks him to get eel gut, but then he gets the wrong bottle and Margolin rudely screams that it's a sleeping potion. Eventually, Ned decides that he has had enough and he convinces Sara to sneak out of the shack while Margolin is drunk.

They go into a dangerous forest so they can find his biggest enemy, hoping she will help them defeat Margolin. Margolin drinks more and more wine and fails to notice that they are gone.

Answer: Gresilda

Gresilda is an evil sorceress. She started off as Margolin's apprentice. One day, she challenged him to a magical duel. He won and then banished her to the evil forest and forced her to stay there forever unless somebody broke his spell. Even though she is trapped there, her magic can leave the forest and enter his home. She also has the power of shapeshifting. While Ned and Sara are living with him, she turns his food into snakes. This makes him tell the kids about her.

Tired of his abuse, Ned and Sara go into the evil forest to find her, hoping she will help them defeat him. They are nearly eaten by a wolf, but then they are saved by Gresilda, who appears to them as an old woman. When she asks why they are there and how they know her name, they tell him that they work for Margolin. Thinking that they are helping him, she threatens to send them back to him with no feet. They tell him that they hate Margolin and want her help to get rid of him. When she notices that they do not run from her even though they are afraid of her, she realizes that they are telling the truth. She then shapeshifts into a young woman and decides to help them.

She tells them that they need to steal his magic amulet so she can help them. This is nearly impossible to do because he wears it around his neck, but it is the only way to defeat him. The kids return to his place with a plan to steal it. Ned gives him some food and Sara puts a napkin around his neck. While doing that, she manages to take the amulet without him noticing. Gresilda is no longer trapped in the evil forest, so she appears in his home. She challenges him to another magical duel. This time, she wins and turns him into a beetle, trapping him in a glass jar for the rest of his life.

Gresilda then becomes the sorceress of the house and Ned wants to learn magic from her. However, she does not trust him enough to teach him magic and she steals his eyes, trapping them in a jar. She then decides to use the kids as slaves just like Margolin did. She asks Ned for eel gut. Ned tells her that he needs his eyes back to get it for her, so she returns them to him. Ned remembers the one thing he learned from Margolin: eel gut looks like a sleeping potion. He gets the sleeping potion. She does not realize that Ned grabbed the wrong bottle until she smells it, and then it's too late for her. Smelling the sleeping potion puts her to sleep forever or until somebody breaks the spell. Ned and Sara put the sleeping Gresilda in the forest.

After this, he tries to learn spells on his own by reading the scrolls in the shack. Sara says that she is leaving him. Sara hates magic and does not want to live with another sorcerer. Ned gives up his dream of becoming a sorcerer and runs after her. In the end, they share a kiss.

Gresilda sleeps for 100 years. One day, a hiker sees her. He thinks that she is an ordinary woman who somehow fell unconscious in the forest. Thinking that he is being a true gentleman, he gives her CPR. She wakes up and casts a spell that throws him back several feet.

Answer: The Witch from "Hansel and Gretel"

The witch from "Hansel and Gretel" is the main villain of "Stage Fright." She ate Hansel and Gretel's parents and did not eat Hansel and Gretel. She hates the play because it doesn't tell the truth about what happened. She goes to every high school that performs the play to kidnap actors and tie them up in a closet. During the play, she appears onstage and casts some spells that lock all the doors and tie up all the actors.

She tells the audience what really happened, and then kills everybody in the building (the actors, the audience, the teacher, the behind-the-scenes people, everybody).

Answer: Cassandra Hobbes

Cassandra Hobbes is actually Satan. Satan appears in "Headshot" in the form of a middle-aged woman who goes by the name Cassandra Hobbes. She pretends to be a photographer who recruits beautiful teenage girls from random businesses (in this episode, it was an ice cream shop) and takes them to the headquarters of "Teen Teen" magazine. Girls willingly go with her, thinking they will become celebrities and unaware of her true intentions. There, she takes a lot of photos of them and encourages them to do whatever it takes to become the famous girl in the world. She sends each of her girls a headshot to their phones and tells them that their headshot reflects not their outer beauty, but their inner beauty. When the girls do anything bad, such as lying to their mothers, getting a boy to help them cheat on the test, or feeding something to someone who is allergic to the thing, they get a text message on their phone and their headshot gets uglier. She gives the girls a choice to delete the headshot and quit working for "Teen Teen," or they can go all the way. If they delete the headshot, they return to their former lives before they met her and they never become famous. If they go all the way, their faces get on the cover of "Teen Teen" magazine and their faces also end up on Cassandra's wall of fame. The catch is, their faces are no longer on their bodies. Satan now has possession of the faces they used to have, while their bodies get a new permanent face that resembles a pig.

In the episode, the girl who gets recruited is an ice cream server named Gracie. Her best friend Lexi initially encourages Gracie to do this, telling Gracie that she is bad at serving ice cream but she is the most beautiful girl in the world, inside and out. However, Lexi notices that Gracie's personality changes after this. Gracie lies to her mom, gets a boy to help her cheat on a test, and sneaks red dye into a smoothie and serves it to a girl who is allergic to red dye. Lexi repeatedly begs Gracie to give this up, but she doesn't. Lexi then investigates the magazine's headquarters to find Cassandra's wall of fame. The faces on the wall are initially beautiful, but Lexi sees them turn ugly. When Cassandra appears, Lexi angrily tells her that Gracie used to be a nice girl and accuses Cassandra of changing her. Cassandra reveals her true form to Lexi, but she also tells her that she did not change Gracie and that she merely offered encouragement. Cassandra says that Gracie is behaving the way she always wanted to behave on the inside, or she would have deleted the headshot. Lexi makes a few more attempts to convince Gracie to stop, but to no avail. When Gracie walks out of the dressing room to be announced as the winner, Lexi takes her phone and deletes the headshot, thinking that this will save Gracie and return her to being the person she used to be. This does not work because it was not Lexi's decision, it was only Gracie's decision. Gracie's original face ends up on Cassandra's wall and on the cover of the magazine. The episode ends by showing us her new face, which resembles a pig.

Answer: Doll

The doll that originally appeared in the episode "Really You" returns for the final episode of season two. The catch is, Lily does not appear in the episode nor does any member of the family. I find this odd because the doll is named "Lily D." It was named after Lily and it was designed to look like Lily. Putting the doll in a new family and never showing or mentioning the original family never made sense to me. However, that's what the writers of the episode decided to do.

The episode begins with Lily D. laying in the street, dirty and broken because of the events of "Really You." Two boys find it and they are disappointed that it's just a doll. (Apparently, these boys actually hoped to find a dead girl in the street.) They attach it to a bicycle and start dragging it around. A kind girl named Natalie sees this and tells them to stop. They decide to let her have the doll.

Natalie and her grandfather discover a name tag on the doll that says that the doll's name is Lily D. and she spends her allowance to get the doll repaired. The doll maker (the only character from "Really You" who appears in "The Return of Lily D." other than Lily D.) is not happy to see Lily D. again, but then she discovers that its new owner's kind heart has calmed down Lily D. Now, Lily D. is happy to be a doll (so it does not switch places with Natalie like it switched places with Lily). The doll maker shows up at their house with Lily D. all fixed up. They invite her in and serve her dinner. She tells them a little bit about the backstory of Lily D. She tells them that Lily D. used to be an evil doll, but Natalie's kindness turned her into a good doll. She also tells them to call her again if Lily D. turns evil again.

The next day, Natalie finds an injured bird on the ground. She takes the bird in and nurses it back to health. Lily D. gets jealous when it sees Natalie taking care of the bird, and Lily D. turns evil again. At night, Lily D. comes alive and falls off the bed, waking up Natalie and her grandfather who cannot explain what happened.

The other dolls tell their maker that Lily D. has turned evil again and she needs destroy the doll and save Natalie. The doll maker returns to Natalie's house to do that, but then Lily D. sees her in the yard and drops a fishbowl on her head, knocking her out. Natalie and her grandfather have no answers for the police.

The next night, Natalie goes to the bathroom to find Lily D. drowning the bird in the bathtub. Natalie then realizes that Lily D. is alive and is responsible for what happened to the doll maker. Natalie tells her grandfather, but he doesn't believe her. Lily D. pushes the grandfather down the stairs and knocks him out.

The rest of the episode is a nighttime war between Natalie and Lily D. Natalie goes to the kitchen to see what she thinks is Lily D. in her grandfather's wheelchair. She gets a frying pan and then she turns the wheelchair around to find a lamp with Lily D.'s hair on it. Lily D. sneaks up behind her with a knife. Natalie knocks the knife out of the hand and then uses the frying pan to knock the doll's head into a pot. While the other dolls in the doll maker's house sing a lullaby, Natalie covers the pot with the pan and kills Lily D. forever.
