How we doing on untangling
those lights, ladies?

Very poorly. But we shall persevere!

Man, I can't wait for our
big Halloween party tomorrow!

We're gonna scare so many people

with all this spooky stuff!

Like these... vampire teeth!

- Blehh!
- Those're my dinner dentures!

[spits] Blehh.

I keep them extra sharp
for when we eat red meat.

I'm so glad to be having
a normal Halloween this time.

Remember how crazy things got last year?

You tied me up and left me for dead!

[laughter]

Ah, memories.

Don't worry, Gloria.

This Halloween celebration
will just be plain,

good ol' fashioned fun.

Nothing extra-ordinary...

Whew! What a mess!

Now who's responsible for all this?

Oh, wait--

It's me! Gwendolyn Zapp!

Looks like that last experiment

didn't quite go as planned.

- [alarm sounds]
- [screaming]

It's coming!

Someone help us, it's coming!

[screams]

Okay, we know!

Rub my failures in, why don't ya!

Well, now that the lab done got busted,

I'm gonna need to finish
my tests somewhere else...

Guess I can just do them from Earth!

Mind the lab while I'm gone, boys!

B.R.B.!

- [Cricket] Ahem!
- [music stops]

[mischievous laugh] Prepare yourselves...

for Trickor!

What are you, some sort of clown?

Can Tricker make me a balloon animal?

Wh--? No, Mom!

It's not "Trick- er ," it's Trick- or ,

as in "trick or treat"--

but the treat is nothing!

Well, hey, there's nothing wrong with

looking like a silly clown, son.

"Silly clown," huh?

- [squeaking]
- The only thing "silly"

about Trickor this Halloween...

- is this silly string!
- No... never again!

- This whole can is going down your pants!
- Come on! Enough! No! No!

- Freakin' stop!
- [Tilly] I'm warning you!

I took the words right out of your mouth,

didn't I, Papa?

Aw! Are you me for Halloween?

I love it!

How cute is that?! Bill and Till!

She got you exactly!
Even down to the padded belly.

Should I do one pillow... or two?

One's plenty, sweetie.

I've gotta make a quick produce delivery

before setting up the
jack-o-lantern station!

Who wants a little preview
of this year's pumpkin haul?

[all] Show us the pumpkins!

Show us the pumpkins!

Here are the pumpkins!

Cute apricots, but where are the pumpkins?

Here... in my hands.

Are we carving jack-o-lanterns for ants?

They're a disgrace to pumpkin kind!

Hey, I know they're not my best but--

I think your pumpkins will make

great jack-o-lanterns, Dad!

- Really?
- Nope!

Ya got Trickored!

- Hee-hee-hee! Ha ha Ha! Hoo-hoo-hoo!
- All right, I'll be back.

I'll make the delivery with you, Papa.

I know you're bummed
about your tiny pumpkins,

but you always cheer me up when I'm sad,

and since I'm you tonight,

you wants to cheer you up!

I'm confused. But touched, sweetie.

Thank you, "Bill."

And as Bill, I'll drive!

No, no, no, no, no.

Hello! Miss Zapp?

[electronic voice] Welcome, visitors!

- To BigTech!
- [Tilly and Bill] Ahh!

Oh, oh!

You must give me the name of

the cloning service you used!

He's a perfect copy!

Uh, here are the pumpkins you ordered.

- They're perfect!
- Really?!

- I need pathetic veggies like this...
- [sighs]

[Gwendolyn]
...to test my latest invention!

Feast your eyes on
the fruits of my labor...

Literally!

Those are the biggest
vegetables I've ever seen!

Whoa!

[chittering]

Say hello to Compound 415C!

Fresh off the jet from Mars!

I'm sorry, did you say "Mars"?
Like the planet?

You betcha!

This bio-genetically
modified alien substance

gives your produce a complete makeover!

How'd you like to take
Compound 415C home to your farm

and try it out for yourselves?

- We could do that?!
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

You'd be part of an exciting test group

to see if this stuff
is safe to use on crops,

while we do nothing
and collect all your data!

It's a win-win!

I speak for both of me when I say,

- "Yes, please."
- No, thank you.

I prefer to farm the natural way.

- Call me old fashioned--
- Old-fashioned!

but experimenting with
otherworldly "chemicals"

just seems a little risky.

[slurps] Risky, shmisky!

Compound 415C will make
people's lives better!

And as long as you get a good end result,

anything that happens
along the way is fine!

All's well that ends well,
right, kids? [laughs]

Hmm...

- Ooh, those look good!
- Back off, ya vulture!

Brains are for party guests only!

- [knocking on door]
- I got it!

Remy! Glad you could make it!

Love the dinosaur duds, bud!

Thanks! I'm going for
"predatory, yet huggable".

And check it out! Vasquez and I decided to

match on purpose this year!

Happy Halloween, Master Cricket.

They only had one size.

Say, Vasquez, care to cool off

with some refreshing punch?

Why, thank you, Master Cricket.

I would love some-- Ahhh!

- You just got--
- Die, spider!

[sighs] Trickored.

- [grunts]
- Vasquez, stop!

It's just some Halloween fun. Look!

It's fake!

My instincts were wrong?

- [cries]
- Remember what we talked about.

We're gonna see some scary things tonight

but it's all fake!

His bodyguard senses get
super confused on Halloween.

- The spider was fake?
- It's all fake...

- What's real and what's an illusion?
- You're still a good bodyguard!

- Ah, all right. Yeah. No.
- Who's a good bodyguard?

[Remy] It's you, that's right!

[Vasquez] ...all I know are lies?!

[tires squeal]

[sighs] Well, at least someone
likes our little pumpkins.

Uh, Tilly? Where you rushing off to?

I'm, uh... off to do some Bill things!

Like... night... farming.

Oh, that does sound like
a good time for Bill.

Don't have too much fun without me!

[thunder crashes]

Whew. All right, Tilly.

We know Papa didn't
want to use this stuff...

But tonight, we are Papa.

And having big pumpkins
to carve at the party

would make him happy.

"Us" happy? "Them"...? No.

I'm just gonna go for it.

Some for you, some for you...

And since you're the very
smallest of the bunch,

a little extra for you.

And... I guess we're done!

I suppose all we can do now

is wait for something-- okay!

[squelching]

Oh, my. [gasps]

It worked!

Pumpkin carving is saved!
Papa's gonna be so happy!

This is certainly a good end result.

Oh, Papa!

Do I have a treat for you!

[Remy hums]

Eyeball, Vasquez?

After what happened in Valverde,

I swore I'd never eat eyeballs again!

They're just meatballs, Vasquez.

- [sobs] Eyeballs...
- That's okay.

You'll get it eventually.

Okay, fourth time's the charm!

I'm just gonna carve...

his little eye!

[shuddering] Ah! I can't watch!

Sir, there are children here!

- Too scary.
- [sighs]

Well, hello, Papa Prime,

Do I have a surprise for you!

Oh, we have to go outside for this part.

[big gasp]

Oh. My. Farm!

I don't understand! How did this happen?!

Must've been a last-minute growth spurt!

Looks like you had
a good harvest after all!

Oh, look at these beauties!

I knew farming with love
was the secret all along!

Are you happy now, Papa?

Yes! Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!

Oh, boy, pumpkin carving
is back in business!

Nice work, "Bill."

[coos]

Now, come on! Let's grab a wheelbarrow

so we can haul these inside!

Right behind you, Papa!

Huh. That's odd...

I was sure that pumpkin-shaped
divot in the ground

used to contain a pumpkin...

Hmm...

There. The pumpkin carving
station looks...

"gourd"-geous!

[nervous chuckle]
I just can't help but feel

like something's off.

- Ahh!
- [Nancy laughs]

- Check this one out.
- [kids laugh]

- Whew!
- [Nancy] Spooky...!

Impressive.

Hmm...

Mister Green, Benny here.

That pumpkin made a scawy face at me!

Oh, you must be mistaken.

None of these pumpkins
have been carved yet.

Mister, I'm tellin ya!

There's somethin' wrong
with your pumpkins, I say!

Something vewy vewy wrong!

[laughs] Now, son,

if these pumpkins are "wrong,"

I don't want to be right.

Tilly and I picked them ourselves.

- Tell him, Tilly.
- What?! Oh.

Uh, hey, yep.

Nothing to be scared of...

[Cricket] Help me! Oh, my God!

This pumpkin's gone crazy!

[nervous chuckle] He's... crazy.

[Cricket] I'm not crazy!

Okay! Be right back!

Nobody ever listens to Benny!

Help! It's tearin' me apart!

I'm coming, Brother!

Ki-ya! [grunts]

- [snickering]
- Ya got Trickored!

- Hee-hee.
- Huh?

Well, I came up with the prank

so actually, ya got vexed and T-Rexed!

Dang, that is a better catchphrase.

[nervous chuckle] You got me.

Phew! I guess I'm
just feeling a bit jumpy...

[scared stammering]

Oh no, I'm not falling for
another one of your pra--

[growling]

[gasps]

- [roars]
- [yelps]

- Ahh!
- Remy!

Why is this happening?!

I'm supposed to be an apex predator!

- [chomping]
- Hold on, Remy!

- [snarling]
- Don't worry!

Trickor has just the trick!

[battle cry]

[silly squeak]

- It's not working!
- I know!

Yahh!

[squelching]

[gasping] Die, pumpkin! You die!

- [grunts]
- Cricket... it's dead.

What was that thing?!

This is just a guess,

but it might have something to do...

[muffled]

We can't hear you.
There's hair in your mouth.

I stole a modified alien
substance from BigTech

and secretly used it
to mutate Papa's pumpkins!

But he was just so sad!

I wanted to make him happy.

You can't fault me for that!

[both] Yes, yes we can!

[sighs] If this one attacks,

I have a feeling the others will, too.

We could all be in danger!

We gotta take care of this

without Papa knowing so he'll stay happy!

Will you help me?

Oh, you want us to just help you covertly

find and destroy a whole horde
of alien pumpkin monsters?

All under the nose of our dear father?

Yes.

- Nuh-kay.
- Rawr.

Honestly, you had me the moment you said,

"Let's duke-out some aliens!"

I never said that,
but thank you for your support.

Now let's get these people outta here

before they get eaten by alien pumpkins.

[power crackles]

- [all] Huh?
- What happened?

♪ I am the Monsterman ♪

Okay, everyone, thanks for coming out,

but it's time for y'all to leave!

You know what they say!
Party till the sun goes down!

Get outta here!

Boo!

Put the music back on!

This party's just getting started!

Sue came here to get freaky
nasty on the dance floor,

and freaky nasty she's gonna get! Whoo!

Oh, no, no, no, no. Ahh!

Ooh! Looks like my "skewered head" kabobs
are ready!

- [roars]
- Ahh!

- [snarling]
- Must... not... punch!

Remember, Vasquez, it's all fake.

- [squelching]
- It's all fake.

Surprise!

Closed the café early to join the par-tay!

[screams]

It's just like last year!

What the heck is going on?

Yeah, Mom, bash that pumpkin! Oof!

- [groans]
- [snarling]

- [snarls]

Hurry! Get out of-- Oh!

Get out of-- Oh! Go!

Where's Papa?

You guys won't believe

what I found in the basement!

It's my festive apron.

[snarling]

- Oh...
- Papa!

Uh... Ahhh!

Oh, no...

Shh! They'll hear us.

I think we're the only ones left.

All our friends and family
have been consumed by

pumpkin aliens because of me.

This is all my fault!

Aww, Tilly. I completely agree.

[big thud]

[snarling]

Nobody... move.

If he thinks we're dead and moves on,

we can create enough distance
to make a run for the door

and hopefully find a neighbor
or fireman that can--

- Whoopee cushion!
- [flatulence sound]

[giggles]

[roars]

- Ahh!
- [squelching]

- [clatter]
- Heh?

- [snarling]
- Ahh!

Oh! Dios mio!

[all] Vasquez!

A smash in the head must free the host.

I thought this was
just some Halloween fun.

Turns out, this is all real danger!

Really?!

Yes! This is scary
and we need protection!

[grunts]

Hoo-wah!

I have returned to my comfort zone!

Now, Master Remy,
let's kick some pumpkin butt!

- Yay!
- [cheering]

- I feel much safer now.
- Hey, look!

The vines are retreatin' to the backyard.

It's almost like
they're linked to something.

There! I'm going in to see where it leads.

I've gotta try and fix this mess.

Vasquez, can you stay inside
and try to free the others?

Of course! But only because
I'm dual-wielding.

Pew! Pew!

Yahh!

[grunts]

[gasps]

What is this?

Are those eggs? They're everywhere.

It's like a nest! [gasps]

Papa!

[dramatic chord]

What are they doing?

[Remy] It's like they're trying
to build something.

[snarling]

Well, whatever it is,
we can't let them finish it.

You're right, Cricket, but how do we stop
the pumpkin monsters?

- [squeaking]
- We go for the heads.

- Oh, okay, thought so.
- Oh, yeah. That makes sense.

[Tilly] Hang tight, I'm gettin' ya loose.

But I'm awake! [pants]

What--what is all this?!

Dang it, Bill. This is all your fault.

'Course you had to switch
fertilizers this year

to try and be a bad boy!

No, Papa, it wasn't you.

- It was me! This is all my fault.
- What?

I used that compound from Gwendolyn's lab

to make your pumpkins grow.

You just seemed so sad. I just wanted to--

You went behind my back?

I said that stuff was risky
and you didn't listen!

And after I just power-washed the garage.

I'm disappointed in you, Tilly.

I don't deserve to wear the hat
of Bill Green.

[mystical chime]

[squeaks, snarls]

[roars loudly]

[both] Ahhh!

Run!

[grunting, panting]

Ahh! [whimper]

[guttural roar]

- What's it doing?
- We gotta keep moving.

[roaring continues]

[panting]

- [Tilly yelps]
- [Bill] Whoa!

[roaring]

[squelching]

[growls]

[both whimper]

I'm completely out of
my depth here, Tilly!

What are we supposed to do?

We can do the thing
that Bill Green is best at.

- [blade rings]
- Farm.

[grunts]

- Ready?
- Ready.

[Tilly] Here they come!

[fighting grunts]

[shrieks]

Happy Halloween!

Dang, there's a big one!
Vasquez, launch me!

You got it!

[exclaims]

Oof! That man has got an arm!

Oh, gosh, dang! It's a whole pumpkin army!

They're totally pinned down!

All right, you pumpkin heads,

I came to this party to do two things.

Smash pumpkins and play tricks.

And I'm all outta tricks.

[battle cry]

[grunts]

[nervous chuckle]

Ahhh!

[grunts]

Ahh!

Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

Sister, save me!

- Hi-ya!

- [squelching]
- Yeah, take that!

Run for cover! Quick! [grunts]

I am an apex predator!

[grunts]

Wait, I spoke too soon!

What?! [groans]

- [snarling]
- No!

Vasquez!

Master Remy!

I had a dream like this once.

[grunts] Double Charlie on your six!

Hi-ya! Yahh!

- [both] Whoa!
- Huh?

- [energy blasts]
- [grunts]

- [rumbling]
- Huh?

[crash]

[grunts]

[both whimper]

Ahh!

[shrieking]

[kids] Trick or treat!

- [whimper, scream]
- [pumpkins chitter]

[screaming]

Think of something, Barry!

Ahh!

It got my face, Barry!
It got my face, Barry!

[scream]

[snarls]

[Tilly] We have to do something!

That big tower... It's almost like...

She's controlling it.

We take out the head, we free the host.

Cricket, you still got your bag of pranks?

Trickor never leaves home without it.

Perfect. I've got a plan.

What is going on?!

- Ahh!
- [snarls]

[Cricket] Ahh! Man down! Man down!

- Cricket!
- Ooh-Eee!

I'm ripe for the taking!

I mean, just look at all this blood!

Why was I born so juicy?

- Oh, agony!
- [sighs]

[snarls]

[snarling]

Hey.

You've... just been...

Trickored! [laughs]

Now, Tilly!

Boo.

Yahh!

Ahh! [grunts]

[grumbles]

[shrieks]

- [blades whirr]
- [screams]

- Huh?
- What was that thing?

Oh, no more dancing for Sue.

- Oh, what a costume!
- [murmuring]

- Master Remy!
- Vasquez!

Watch out! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

Relax, Master Remy. It's all fake.

Ugh. What happened?

Farm stuff. Don't worry about it.

How... did I get here?

- [Cricket and Tilly] Dad?
- Huh?

Kids, you're okay!

Cricket! But how? I thought that--

My best trick yet. Fake blood.

The treat is that I'm alive.

Oh, I get it now!

Like "Trick or Treat." Nice one, Trickor .

[gasps] Yes!

Validation!

Uh, Papa, I'm really sorry about all this.

Although my Bill Green costume

may have been convincing on the outside,

my inside was missing
the most important part...

I get it, I have a gut.

No, your other gut.

The one that tells you right from wrong.

I knew that taking the compound was wrong,

but I did it anyway.

Look, what you did back there
was really dangerous.

The world almost got taken
over by vegetable overlords!

[cringes]

We all make mistakes. Some small.

Some... really big.

But what matters is that
you grow from those mistakes.

The good kind of grow.

I love you, Papa.

I love you, pumpkin.

Everyone, get down!

There's alien vegetables
taking over the city!

Let me at 'em!

- We took care of it.
- Oh, you took care of it.

Huh. You want this?

- [Bill and Tilly] No!
- Oh, okay.

- [expl*si*n]
- Well, all's well that ends well.

Sorry about the 415C outbreak.

Turns out, it's dangerous. My B!

Anyways, I'm needed on Mars lab.

You make one tiny, alien monster

that's out to destroy the human species,

and suddenly you're made out
to be the bad guy, I guess!

Well, thanks for taking care
of things down here.

Byee!

Why do we keep
delivering groceries to her?

She has money.

[Bill] Oh, yeah.
