It is Halloween in the Cul-De-Sac. All the kids get their costumes ready for this year's trick or treating. In his house, Edd gets into his Halloween costume as a germ. But as he does so, Ed and Eddy barge into Edd's house. 

Edd: Gentlemen! Have you not heard of knocking! I know you're both excited for Halloween, but manners are still.....

When Edd turns to face Ed and Eddy, he sees that they were wearing the same costumes that they wore last year. 

Edd: Really? You're wearing the same costumes you wore last year? 

Eddy: And what exactly are you wearing, Sockhead?! 

Edd: Last year, I was the Bubonic Plague! This year I'm the Spanish Flu! From 1918 to 1920, I claimed the lives of two thirds of the global population! And you're Zombie Elvis again, Eddy? 

Eddy: Can't beat the classics, Double D. Ain't that right, Ed?

Ed: I am not Ed! I AM LOTHAR! VIKING! PROTECTOR OF MONTEZUMA! SLAYER OF MONSTERS!

As Ed says this, he raises his spatula in the air while posing like a warrior Viking. There was a moment of awkward silence between Edd and Eddy as Ed flashes a goofy smile. 

Eddy: Anyways....this year, we're gonna hit it big with the candy this year, boys! For tonight, we're after the creepiest, monteriest place in the land! SPOOK-E-VILLE!

Edd: Spook-E-Ville? Oh no! Not again! The last time we went on that wild goose chase, we ended up getting quite a thrashing from the entire Cul-De-Sac!

Eddy: That's because the map we used was outdated! You're a scientist! You know maps need to be updated or else we get bad directions!

Edd: I....I am shocked that you actually made a valid point. But back to the topic at hand, how do we know that this "Spook-E-Ville" is actually a real place and not another one of your brother's tall tales?

Eddy: Because every Halloween until he moved out, my brother would come home with bags filled to the brim with candy! And I'm talking about a ginormous bag! I swiped this map from my brother's room! Check it out!

Eddy then presents Edd with the aforementioned map. As Edd analyzes the map, he compared it to a map of the Cul-De-Sac. While the map itself was filled with drawings of various monsters and scary things, the map seemed to check out. 

Edd: Okay, Eddy. Let's say I agree with you that this map actually leads up to this...."Spook-E-Ville". Based on the map, it's a long ways away from the Cul-De-Sac! 

Eddy: Which is why if we leave now, we'll be able to get to Spook-E-Ville and get all the candy we could dream of! Think of it, Double D! The three of us and mountains of candy! 

Ed: Candy candy good for Ed! Candy candy good for Ed! SO SAYS LOTHAR!

Edd: I'm sure there are better ways to spend Halloween then engage in a wild goose chase.....

Eddy: Why are you trying to ruin my....um....Ed's Halloween? Look at him. Lumpy is all excited to find Spook-E-Ville! Are you really going to take that away from Ed?

As Eddy tried to guilt trip Edd into going along with his plan, Edd took a moment to think over Eddy's proposal. All of Edd's instincts told him that this was a wild goose chase. But Edd didn't want to sadden Ed. So against his better judgement, Edd relents. 

Edd: Very well....

Eddy: That's the spirit, Double D! 

Ed: YAY!

Eddy: We still got light so we better hit the road so we can get to Spook-E-Ville!

Edd: If we're really going to do this, then perhaps I should be in charge of the map. After all, I am a skilled map reader. 

Eddy: Not a chance, Sockhead! I've spent the last few hours studying this map! That means only I know how to work this map! Now let's stop wasting time! Let's get going!

With that, the Eds begin their search for Spook-E-Ville. Meanwhile outside the Cul-De-Sac, a man was driving his pick up truck. As he drives down the road, he begins tuning the radio. 

Radio: Today marks the 3 year anniversary of Michael Myers's killing spree in Haddonfield. The town is still recovering from that horrifying attack as the manhunt for the killer is still ongoing. The whereabouts of the killer Michael Myers has been unknown since his escape from the Smith's Grove Psychiatric Hospital where he had been institutionalized for 40 years after his previous killing spree. Now we....

The man turns the radio to a music station, paying no mind to the broadcast. As he continues driving, he sees a man walking down the highway. He stops the truck and rolls down his window. 

Driver: Hey! You need a lift?

The figure stops for a moment before turning to face the truck. He then begins walking towards the truck. When the wanderer gets closer, the driver is shocked to see that this was none other than Michael Myers. Before the man could react, Michael Myers grabs the man and pulls him out of the truck. The driver attempts to fight off Michael Myers, but Michael Myers slams the man through the windshield. He then yanks the driver out and stabs him repeatedly with his knife. As the man dies, Michael Myers tosses the man's corpse aside. Michael Myers breathes heavily as he begins walking away towards the direction of Peach Creek. In that moment, Michael Myers was on his way to Peach Creek. This unknowingly put Michael Myers on a collision course with the Eds.
