"The Haunting of Flim-Flam House" is a The Patrick Star Show episode from season 4. In this episode, Patrick and Squidina lend a hand when the Flim Flam Brothers are being haunted.
Characters[]
Synopsis[]
Patrick is hosting the Seance Hour, where he aims to resurrect the soul of his overcooked microwave burrito. He uses his Wedgie Board, which instead summons the FlimFlam Brothers. Squidina asks why they appeared, and they explain they cannot go home because their house is haunted, and not by them.
The FlimFlam Brothers take Patrick and Squidina to their house, which is spooky on the outside, but a nice modern house on the inside. They explain that they trash the house and make it scary every night, but in the morning, it is cleaned up. They demonstrate by messing up the house, and when Patrick and Squidina turn their heads, it is once again clean.
The four mount cameras around the house, then throw trash and mud around to dirty it up. They sleep overnight, and the house is cleaned again. Squidina shows her videotapes, where a mysterious ghost is seen, but Patrick interrupts every time it is about to be seen.
Squidina's next plan is to use a vacuum, the Ghost Catcher 5000. Patrick drops the chandelier, and the ghost appears to clean it up. Squidina tries to suck it up, but only gets the rest of the furniture in the house, making the vacuum explode.
The FlimFlam Brothers then throw a ghost party to make the ghost reveal itself, turning Patrick and Squidina into ghosts too. When they go into a photobooth, the ghost appears with them, and unmask it. They find that it is GrandPat, now as a ghost.
Bunny rings the doorbell with GrandPat's body, saying that he dies every night but never gets far away. GrandPat explains that he haunts the FlimFlam Brothers because he rented the house to them when they were alive, and they never paid him back, claiming the house was above market value.
Bunny asks the kids to put GrandPat's ghost back in his body. He refuses, so Patrick and Squidina chase him throughout the house, but are unsuccessful. The FlimFlam Brothers possess GrandPat themselves, angering him by performing a modern interpretive dance. He enters his body and fights them, destroying the house.
Although annoyed by being back in his old body, GrandPat is glad that the FlimFlam Brothers lost their house and leaves. Just then, the house reappears as a ghost. The brothers throw a party, inviting Patrick and Squidina (as ghosts) along with them.
