Meanwhile, Calvin and Hobbes continue walking down a corridor, engaging in a little WhosOnFirst-type dialogue, and Socrates does likewise by himself. Brainstorm attempts to scare him, this time posing as Dr. Frankenstein, and this ends with him being electrocuted.

After all this, the group reunites and prepares to leave before Brainstorm shows up one last time, now with a Wolf-Man mask, but he trips and dislodges it, exposing him. None of the boys are interested, and they fly home in the box as a ghost holds up a card reading "TheEnd".
