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: {drags his foot on the ground} I dunno. 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 to the back.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What is he up to?

MU-HU-HA-HA

{Scene: Int. MARZIPAN's house. The room is darkened. MARZIPAN (dressed as The Log Lady) and STRONG SAD (dressed as David Byrne) are standing behind a table. There is a picture of a ficus plant on the table, and three burning candles.}

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: OK. I'll need a photograph of the deceased and two box Oreos.

{Scene cuts to STRONG BAD (dressed as Ozone), STRONG MAD (dressed as Magnum P.I.), and THE CHEAT (dressed up as Izzy) at the forest. THE CHEAT is dragging along a wagon filled with the toilet paper and eggs.}

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

{THE KING OF TOWN enters from the right.}

THE KING OF TOWN: {dressed as Hamburglar} 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, loose dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gazebo {pronounced GAZE-boh}.

{STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, and THE CHEAT exit to the left. THE KING OF TOWN follows.}

THE KING OF TOWN: I'm dressed to hamburgle... Rubble! Rubble!

{Cut to HOMESTAR RUNNER (dressed as John McEnroe), POM POM (dressed as Kamala the Ugandan Giant), COACH Z (dressed as Kool Moe Dee), and BUBS (dressed as Mel) hanging out.}

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 chorclate chorps!

BUBS: {sigh}

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!

{Many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera zooms out to show the gang at The Stick, which is now covered in TP.}

STRONG BAD: Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

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: No, you're not. But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs {THE CHEAT hands the KING a box of eggs} and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper {STRONG MAD tosses the KING a roll of toilet paper} in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

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

STRONG BAD: That's what I thought.

{The three exit to the left. The camera cuts to the door from The House That Gave Sucky Treats. The door opens, revealing COACH Z and BUBS in their costumes.}

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

COACH Z: Trick 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 you'z. {rapping} This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and ghetto boys are trick-or treat-en'. Robbin' little kids for bags.

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

Zagnut

BUBS: Aw, Zagnut!

COACH Z: Yeah. Aw, Zagnut!

BUBS: No, no. Aw, Zagnut!

COACH Z: Right, right. Aw, Zagnut!

BOTH: Awwwww - {slam}

{To access the STINKOMAN easter egg, you can click on the pumpkin, or click on one of the treats without dragging them. The door shuts, and then re-opens to reveal STINKOMAN dressed as Speed Racer.}

STINKOMAN: Check out my new cosplay! {pronounced 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 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 start coming out of his body where his right arm should be.} That tickles.

{The scene cuts to POM POM and HOMESTAR RUNNER walking along.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why did she give you a hundred bucks? Alls I got was a dang old Bit o' Honey.

{They come up to THE POOPSMITH (dressed as M. Bison), sticking his shovel in and out of his pile of whatsit.}

HOMESTAR: Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time.

POM POM: {silence}

HOMESTAR: Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! {He rocks his head back and forth as if he were banging it on a door}

THE POOPSMITH: {turns around}

HOMESTAR: The Poopsmith! Trick or treat!

{THE POOPSMITH sticks his shovel into the pile of whatsit. He pulls it back out and turns toward HOMESTAR and offers him some whatsit.}

POM POM: {bubbles, makes a face, exits to the left}

HOMESTAR: Suit yourself. More for me. {offers his bag to THE POOPSMITH} Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

{Cut back to STRONG SAD's seance. STRONG SAD is chanting and waving his arms.}

STRONG SAD: Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz--

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

STRONG SAD: No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. {waves his arms even higher} Credenzell!

{they hear a knocking sound}

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

STRONG SAD: Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

{Cut to MARZIPAN's porch. HOMESTAR RUNNER is pounding his head on the door.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Let me in. Da, da, da. Let me in!

{MARZIPAN answers the door.}

MARZIPAN: Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

HOMESTAR: 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 slurping up the rest of his toilet paper. The box of eggs is at his side, empty.}

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

{Cut back to MARIZPAN's house. HOMESTAR RUNNER, BUBS, and THE POOPSMITH are inside.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I told you I'd get a million lbs. {prounced LIBS} of candy.

BUBS: {pokes the bag with his spatula} That sure doesn't smell like candy.

HOMESTAR: {takes a whiff, frowns} Hey, you're right! {turns to THE POOPSMITH} Poopsmith? Did you give me some bum candy?

BUBS: {snickers} He sure did!

{Cut to the seance.}

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

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

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Do you mean, like, the spirit of giving?

{Cut to outside MARZIPAN's house. THE KING OF TOWN is eating MARZIPAN's candy corn lights.}

THE KING OF TOWN: {chomp chomp}

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 noo-thing!

{cut back to inside}

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 TP over and over}

STRONG MAD: WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

STRONG BAD: Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

STRONG MAD: {punches a hole in the house} HIGGINS!!

MARZIPAN: Oh. Hi, Strong Mad. {mumbles} Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candycorn lights.

{MARZIPAN goes back to the seance. STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, and THE CHEAT enter from the left.}

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

STRONG SAD: OK. Everybody say it with me this time.

ALL except STRONG BAD and HOMESTAR: Credenza! Credenza! STRONG BAD: {simultaneously} This is boring! This is boring! HOMESTAR: {simultaneously} Witches' brew! Witches' brew!

{the lights go out}

STRONG SAD: Woah. The lights went out.

HOMESTAR: Woah. Magic.

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

HOMESTAR: 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: Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN: Yay!

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

STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD AND THE CHEAT: Yay!

HOMESTAR:... and I got a million pounds of candy!

{Silence.}

HOMESTAR: yayyy.... And then Goblin showed up dressed like a Santaman!

{Cut to THE GOBLIN (dressed as a Santaman).}

THE GOBLIN: {dances}

ALL: Yay!

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
  • 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.

Trivia

  • A "Bit o' Honey" is an actual candy.
  • The 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.

Remarks

  • When Homestar says "someone is grabbing my butt," it is most likely Bubs, since he is right behind Homestar. Or his imagination.
  • 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 you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
  • Homestar wears pants. This doesn't seem to happen very often.
  • This is the second time Strong Mad has visible chest hairs.

Inside References

  • The Cheat's costume may refer to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
  • Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!" and the second Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!"
  • The Delicious "Bag" is a reference to Mr. Shmallow.
  • This toon marks the the third time Witches' Brew, an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
  • Van Buren's face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.
  • 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.
  • Bubs' line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago.", as well as the whole scene, is an obvious reference to The House that Gave Sucky Treats.

Real-World References

  • If you give Stinkoman the jar with "Akira" on it you will get a surprise from the Anime movie of the same name.
  • Marzipan says Homestar watered Credenza with Yoo-Hoo when she was in Miami.
  • Coach Z's mention of Strong Sad's beautiful house and beautiful wife is a reference to the Talking Heads' song "Once in a Lifetime".
  • Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the Geto Boys' "Mind Playin Tricks On Me".
  • The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the Speed Racer theme song.
  • In the scene where Strong Sad is chanting Credenza's name by himself with Marzipan in the room, his voice sounds like it's reversed. This is a reference to certain scenes in the Twin Peaks series, where scenes were filmed with the actors speaking their lines backwards, then played in reverse. The lines ended up being "reversed" twice, making them understandable, but sounding very creepy.
  • The flaming manuever the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from Street Fighter.
  • When Strong Mad bashes a hole in the house he yells "Higgins!!" This is a reference to the show Magnum, P.I. Higgins was Tom Selleck's boss in that show.
  • The line Homestar Says, "I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit.", at the end of the toon, might be reffering to as Wesley Snipes, the actor who played the character "Blade" in all 3 Blade movies.
