==Transcript==

''{The scene opens with Homestar Runner at Bubs' Concession Stand, finalizing a transaction.}''

'''BUBS:''' ...and 16 cents is your change. ''{drops the change on the counter}''	

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Free money!

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. ''{rubs his foot on the ground}'' Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring. So I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{Strong Bad approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...And a corn dog.

'''BUBS:''' I got it all packed up for you in the wagon 'round back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, pally.

''{Strong Bad and Bubs go around back.}''	

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''What'' is he ''up'' to?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. I'll need a photograph of the deceased ''{she gives him one}'' and two box Oreos. ''{Marzipan does a slight double-take.}''

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat in their costumes with their supplies for the evening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. ''{quickly and high-pitched}'' This is gonna be great!

''{The King of Town walks up.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hey, guys. What's up?  What are we doing here? Making omelettes?  Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, los dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gaze-bo.

''{they all leave and the King of Town chases after them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to Hamburgle... Robble! Robble!

''{cut to Homestar, Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Bubs standing around in their costumes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get... a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chocolate chorps!

''{Bubs sighs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip! ''{The Cheat grunts as many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera pans back to show that The Stick is covered, while Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat stand nearby.}'' Yes!  All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

''{The King of Town walks up again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... "Your Highness". We're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly and quietly}'' No, you're not. ''{in a normal voice}'' But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs ''{The Cheat grunts as if saying "here" as he lays down a carton of eggs in front of The King of Town}'' and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper, ''{Strong Mad throws a roll of toilet paper next to the eggs}'' in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{delighted}'' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{cuts to a door opening to reveal Coach Z and Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Track or Trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon, man.

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, Trick or Treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''

==== Swedish Fish ====
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, the Swordish Forsh!

'''BUBS:''' What did I just tell you?

'''COACH Z:''' Cut me some slack. It's a crowd-pleaser.

''{door closes}''

==== Delicious "Bag" ====
'''COACH Z:''' What is that? One of them old school candies? I got some old school for youse. ''{rapping}'' This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treatin'.  Robbin' little kids for bags.

'''BUBS:''' Uh... he doesn't really mean we've been out robbin' little kids. ''{door begins to close}'' No, wai{{--}} ''{slam}''

==== Zagnut ====
'''BUBS:''' Aw, ZAG-nut!

'''BOTH:''' AWWWWWW— ''{slam}''

''{You can also choose nothing by clicking anywhere on the screen, but not giving them a treat.  If you do this, the door closes, and reopens with Stinkoman dressed as Speed Racer. You can also drag the pumpkin near the door onto Bubs or Coach Z to trigger this.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check out my new cohs-PLAY! I'm a demon on wheels!

==== Zagnut ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I can't eat that kind of bar because I'm in training. Don't you have any of the other kinds of bars?  You know... energy bars... or power bars... or training bars?

==== Prawn ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I love prawns. Simple as that! ''{dances}''

==== Jar labeled "Akira" ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' Eh. Ew. Aah! Nnn! Eh! Ew! Ahhhhh! ''{Giant tentacles and veins start coming out of his body where his right arm should be}'' That tickles.
--------------------------
''{cuts to Pom Pom and Homestar walking along}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why'd she give you a hundred bucks? All's I got was a dang old Bit-O-Honey.

''{they stop at The Poopsmith, dressed up, who is sticking his shovel in and out of a pile of [[whatsit]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time. ''{Pom Pom does nothing}''  Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! ''{He rocks his head back and forth as if his head were a bell}''  The Poopsmith! Trick or treat! ''{The Poopsmith offers a scoop of whatsit.  Pom Pom bubbles and leaves}'' Suit yourself. More for me. Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

''{cuts to Strong Sad in his seance}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Credernz—

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. Credenzel!!!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the porch}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let, me, in. ''{hits the door with his head as each word is spoken}'' Da, da, da.  Let me in!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opening the door}'' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!  

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to the King of Town, eating the last of his toilet paper.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. ...I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million libs<!--sic--> of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffs the bag}'' ''{slightly angry}'' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith, did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}''  Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans into the scene}'' You mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Outside, the King of Town is eating a string of candy corn lights}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{eating noises}'' 

''{Marzipan walks up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.  

''{she goes back in}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do nothing!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv{{--}} ''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, Strong Mad is punching the side of the house with a roll of toilet paper over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sitting on throne made from stacks of toilet paper rolls}'' Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

''{cut to inside, showing Strong Mad punching a hole in the side of the house.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candy corn lights.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Everybody say it with me this time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is boring!<br/>
'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Credenza!<br/>
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Cradernza!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Witch's brew!<br/>
'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Credenza!<br/>
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Cradernza!

''{A sudden gust of wind blows the candles out and the room goes dark.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks be praised! Credenza's alive!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and Strong Bad got to throw toilet paper at stuff!

'''STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, AND THE CHEAT:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''... and I got a million pounds of candy! ''{No one cheers.}'' ''{quietly, to himself}'' Yay. ''{to the group}'' ...and the goblin showed up, dressed up like a Santam'n.

''{cut to The Goblin, who dances. His trademark music plays as he does.}''

'''ALL:''' Yay!

==Easter Eggs==
*In the scene where you give Bubs and Coach Z candy, any mouse click that doesn't result in candy being given results in Stinkoman appearing, dressed as Speed Racer ([[#Zagnut 2|see the transcript]]).

*When the door opens for the candy giving scene, including the Stinkoman section, the light switch by the  door can be flipped by clicking on it. It is not believed to have any effect.

*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", you can click on The Poopsmith's head until the scene ends to see Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
*:''{lights dim, Homsar enters from the left}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Credenza|credenza]] is a piece of furniture, usually wooden, with a long top and several drawers for storing dinner- and silverware. It is most commonly used as a buffet setting for large meals. Less commonly, a [[Wikipedia:Credenza desk|credenza desk]] is a piece of office furniture having a long flat top and often containing file drawers, a kneehole, and accessories for a computer.
*[[Wikipedia:Cosplay|Cosplay]] (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".

===Trivia===
*This is the first Halloween toon to actually include the word "Halloween" in the title.
*This is the first major Halloween toon where the loading screen does not include any type of game.
*Up until [[Halloween Fairstival]], this was the longest holiday toon on the site.
*In the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook]], it is revealed that a rejected Marzipan costume for an early Halloween toon was also a Speed Racer costume, [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer#Supporting characters|Trixie]].
*Zooming in on the change Bubs gives Homestar will reveal that all of the coins (a dime, a nickel, and a penny) have [[Presidents|George Washington]] on them, even though George Washington is only on the U.S. quarter and one-dollar bill in real life.
*[[Wikipedia:Bit-O-Honey|Bit-O-Honey]], [[Zagnut Bars|Zagnut]], and [[Wikipedia:Swedish fish|Swedish Fish]] are actual candies. 
*The noise Stinkoman makes when he dances (when he is given prawn) is the same sound effect that [[Pan Pan]] uses to talk.
*Homestar mentions looking for houses giving out "lead candy". A million pounds of lead would take up about 40 cubic meters.
*The first sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]].
*There are a total of ten Easter eggs in this cartoon, even more than the Strong Bad Emails [[flashback]] and [[email thunder]], and the highest number of any Homestar Runner cartoon until [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Will the group be able to contact the spirit of Credenza?"

===Remarks===
*This Halloween episode carries on the tradition in which a secret scene with Homsar is activated by interacting with the Poopsmith somehow.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception{{--}}whether or not Homsar and/or Stinkoman are activated, they do not appear at the end.
*The rings around The Cheat's right "foot" (part of his Izzy costume) may suggest that this portion of his anatomy is actually a tail.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom are walking together, Homestar's wig can be seen shaking, but Pom Pom's necklace stays in place.
*This is one of the first times that Coach Z demonstrates his ability to speak without his trademark Upper Midwestern accent.
*Homestar knocks on Marzipan's door with his head, although it is implied elsewhere that his arms are merely [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible]].
*During the scene with the "electrical disturbance", it is unclear how problems with the house's power could be affecting the candles on the table, seemingly the only light source in the room.
*In the final group shot, each time a character is clicked to activate an Easter egg, Strong Bad closes his mouth (whether or not he has any lines) and opens it again once each egg is finished. Coach Z's arm also moves a little bit when Easter eggs are activated in the last scene.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar kicks the ground, he leaves a mark on it that disappears after Strong Bad shows up.
*When Bubs says he has all of Strong Bad's stuff "'round back", he goes through the back door without opening it.
*When The Cheat and The Brothers Strong leave The Stick after their deal with the King of Town, The Cheat's torch reappears in his hand.
*When Strong Sad chants "Credenza" with the rest of the group, his mouth doesn't move.
*When the lights flicker back on and Credenza is resurrected, the candles on the table disappear until the zoom-out when all characters exclaim "Yay!"
*During every Easter egg on the end screen accessible by clicking on a character, Strong Mad is illuminated.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom leave their meeting with Coach Z and Bubs, the moon on Pom Pom's body changes direction as he moves left.
*In the Ruffle version, if a candy is chosen during the trick-or-treat scene, Stinkoman's Easter egg will be triggered automatically.

===Inside References===
*Bubs's change for Homestar is another appearance of [[loose coins]].
*The Cheat's costume is an indirect reference to [[Original Book|the first Homestar Runner book]], which was written during the 1996 [[Olympics]] in Atlanta when [[Mike Chapman]] was a light rigger for the Australian telecasts of those games.
*Strong Mad also had visible chest hairs in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to "egg the everloving crap" out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7.0]].
*Bubs's line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago.", as well as the whole scene, is a reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
**In addition, the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers]] baseball cap worn by Strong Mad as part of his Magnum, P.I. costume was previously worn by Pom Pom as part of his Michael Moore costume in The House That Gave Sucky Treats.
*The [[Delicious "Bag"]] first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*Homestar Runner knocks on Marzipan's door with his head. In [[The Reddest Radish]], ''she'' knocked on ''his'' door in the same way.
*This toon marks the fifth appearance of [[witch's brew]].
*Strong Bad's response to everyone's [[What are you supposed to be?|incorrect guesses about his costume]] makes reference to his line in [[Homestarloween Party]] ("I'm Carmen freakin' Miranda!").

Originally performed at the [[Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show]] on October 7, 2016, the live recording was released in 2020 on their [[Degradest Hits]] album. On Halloween 2021, [[@strongbadactual]] posted [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2021#1454861977323458563|a music video]] for the song composed of clips from this toon on Twitter.
**The theme would also go on to inspire the background music for [[Halloween Hide & Seek]].
*Homestar's prop racket is used as a "spooky" decoration in [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]].
*The theme song was featured on {{Decemberweenvent Calendar|day|11}}. The calendar included [[Decemberweenvent Calendar Character Variations|drawings of]] Credenza, the eggs and toilet paper, and a pumpkin carved to look like Homestar.

==DVD Version==
*The Homsar Easter egg is automatically enabled; no selecting required.
*The Stinkoman Easter egg is enabled by selecting the pumpkin at Bubs's feet with your DVD remote (rather than selecting a candy).
*You no longer have the opportunity to see who is dressed up as whom at the end, like you can on the website.
*All of the ending Easter eggs play automatically. They are played in this order: 
**Strong Bad
**Coach Z
**Strong Sad
**Marzipan
**Bubs
**The Cheat
**The Poopsmith
*When the toon is played in "Play All", the treat for Coach Z and Bubs is automatically picked for you. Also, Stinkoman's scene is automatically unlocked and his treat is automatically picked for you as well. The treats automatically picked are:
**'''Coach Z and Bubs''': Zagnut
**'''Stinkoman''': "Akira" Jar
*To access the Easter egg involving Puppet Homestar, push down on the remote control until the H*R logo lights up.
===YouTube Version===
*Same as DVD play all version, but includes the Puppet Stuff Easter egg at the end.
