Just gonna point out that I know absolutely nothing about Halloween, so I apologize to any followers who actually celebrate. Is gonna be a long written. -EixheirZamora.

She is standing before the fire pit, wearing a reaper's robe

Gramma: It's Halloween, children, and there's much to be afraid of: Ghouls, goblins, and those spooky motion sensor decorations, you know the ones. But nothing's more frightening than what we'll see this evening. The sky will turn red, creepy things will happen, for tonight there will be A BLOOD MOON!

Pulls back to show Cricket and Baraka and Tilly listening on the couch; pause

Gramma: You hear me? I SAID A BLOOD MOON'S COMING!

They both laughs

Cricket: That's pretty spooky, Gramma. But we're gonna go get ready for Halloween.

They both laughs

Cricket: Blood moon.

He blows raspberry

She is freaking out

Gramma: We're all doomed.

Pans down to show the various citizens trick-or-treating in their costumes

He is at the garage, guiding all the animals inside

Bill: Alright, alright, get in.

Gramma: Lock 'em up, Bill! That blood moon's a coming, and I'm not takin' any chances!

She slams door

He is rolling eyes, flatly

Bill: All right, Ma!

He pushes Melissa in

Bill: Ah, there you go. Sorry, but it's just for tonight. Be on your best behavior.

He closes the garage door and puts a lock on it

He grunts

Bill: All set.

The shadow of something unknown zips right past

Bill: Huh? Hello? Someone there?

He investigates; the vane is shown to have an evil face on it

[Creaking]

Bill: Hello? I'm sure I heard something.

The barrel before him shakes

[Rattling]

He slowly approaches it

He gulps

Bill: Whoever's in there, just come on out, now!

A chicken jumps out of the barrel

She squawks

Bill: Whew! You almost had me there. Well, let's get 'cha inside the--

The chicken jumps off and gets stuck in the secret exit outside the house

Bill: Hey, get back here, chicken!

He is pulling it free

Bill: Come here, you.

Suddenly, Cricket bursts out of the secret exit outside the house, wearing a horned zombie mask with one eyehole and holding a flashlight
