How do I get out of the Goodsoup family crypt?
  • 1 of 11: Try walking over to the coffin on the left screen of the crypt.
  • 2 of 11: Take a look through the crack in the wall.
  • 3 of 11: And talk to the undertaker.
  • 4 of 11: He will only open the crypt for you if you can prove that you're a ghost.
  • 5 of 11: Try casting your image on the wall.
  • 6 of 11: Or at least a shadow.
  • 7 of 11: The lantern in the undertaker's shack might help you.
  • 8 of 11: Put it on the coffin, and then try talking to the undertaker again.
  • 9 of 11: You're not scary enough, but you can probably find someone a little scarier to help you.
  • 10 of 11: At least, he thinks he's scary.
  • 11 of 11: Murray should have appeared when you walked onto this screen.  Use him on the lantern to scare the undertaker into opening the crypt.
