''{Scene opens at night, as crickets chirp. All twelve characters are present in silhouette. The text reads, "this is the whole cartoon this year".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So... do you guys think that's true? This is really it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in an outrageous costume, which moves as he speaks}'' Yeah, probably. I feel like we've been steadily working towards this over the years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean we're not gonna get into any Halloween hijinks or nothing?

'''COACH Z:''' Aaah... I'm getting too old for hijinks. And the last time I attempted even medium jinks, I t'rew out my torn rubdominal scrimmage.

''{Pan right. Coach Z is standing on a front porch with some toilet paper on the banister, and an empty roll on the ground. The Sad Kids are holding up a plate of devilled eggs.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Deviled eggs? Three pieces o' two-ply? Ya call those Halloween jinx? ''{takes out a whistle}'' Why, I could whistle so hard right now I—

''{Coach Z blows the whistle. A shockwave bursts from his hip, filling the screen with redness and sending him reeling.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Whooogho!

''{A commercial begins. Coach Z fades into an X-ray on a white background.}''

'''COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER:''' If you've suffered a torn rubdominal scrimmage, ''{Coach Z's hip becomes red and inflamed; an arrow points to the injury with the words "Interior Rubdominal Scrimmage"}'' Halloween jinx don't need to be a thing of the past.

'''COACH Z:''' They don't?

''{A banner reading "LOWJINXEROL" and an orange blob with a jack-o-lantern face appear.}''

'''COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER:''' Lowjinxerol is specially formulated ''{the orange blob dissipates, covering the injury}'' to treat creepy middle-aged ailments, ''{The injury fades away as the blobs cool it down}'' so you'll stop talking about them in public.

''{Cut to Coach Z and Marzipan standing in the field at night. Marzipan approaches.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, Coach Z? How's it going?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, this morning in the locker room, my rubdominous swell— oomph!

''{Coach Z is cut off by a flurry of orange Lowjinxerol blobs covering his mouth. Marzipan looks smug.}''

''{Fade to white as the Lowjinxerol banner comes on screen.}''

'''COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCER:''' Reclaim your Halloween ''low jinx'' with ''{a bottle of pills appears; an orange blob comes out of it}'' Lowjinxerol, ''{speaks quietly and quickly, as if reciting a disclaimer. Logos appear as they are mentioned}'' a division of Fluffy Puff/Foamalate/Hot Pooey/Smarty Juice/Videlectrix Subsidiaries.

''{Fade to black.}''

''{Fade in to an orange Channel 5 Action Card title card reading "We now return HALLOWEEN HIJINKS", featuring a toilet paper roll holding a toilet paper roll and an egg wearing sunglasses holding an egg.}''

'''CHANNEL 5 ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to Channel 5's Halloween progrumming.

''{Fade to black. Fade in to a dark hallway. Two security guards somewhat resembling Coach Z and Bubs are walking and holding flashlights.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z:''' Slow night at City Hall, eh, fellow night watchman?

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS:''' That establishes our location and humdrum routine.

''{Cut to a door reading "Councilman Zonepermit". Coach Z and Bubs approach in silhouette, illuminating the door with the the flashlight. Chattering is heard on the other side of the door.}''

'''COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT:''' ''{in a voice resembling the King of Town's}'' And please, don't keep walking towards me.

''{Cut closer to the door. A shadowy figure is seen backing toward the window.}''

'''COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT:''' I beg of you! ''{holds up arms}'' Nooooooo...!

''{He continues backing away as a bigger, more imposing shadowy figure overtakes him.}''

'''COUNCILMAN ZONEPERMIT:''' You're still walking towards me! Nooooo!

''{Cut to the security guards, screaming in fright.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMEN BUBS AND COACH Z:''' Raaaaaaahhhh...!

''{A title card for The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries is displayed. The musical theme plays.}''

''{Fade in to Councilman Zonepermit's office. Councilman Zonepermit is crushed beneath his desk, which is upside-down. The night watchmen are there with the four Mystfit-steries.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Stand down, local law enforcement; group of random teens is here.

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z:''' Mysfit-steries, thank goodness it's you.

''{Cut to the night watchmen.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z:''' I almost didn't recognize you in those absurd zigzaggèd pants.

''{Cut to the teens.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, I— I know; I'm trying to branch out.

''{Cut to the night watchmen.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS:''' When we rushed in here, the mysterious silhouette had vanished.

''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad and Strong Mad.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great. Another fanatical mysterious believer.

''{Cut to teenage Marzipan. An imposing shadow is slowly looming in the doorway behind her.}''

'''TEENAGE MARZIPAN:''' Zigglies, why would anyone want to kill Councilman Zonepermit?

''{Cut to teenage Strong Mad.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG MAD:''' Look out behind you!

''{Cut to teenage Homestar.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Luh-luh-luh...

''{Pan to night watchman Coach Z.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z:''' Luh-luh-luh...

''{Pan to night watchman Bubs.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS:''' Luh-luh-luh...

''{Cut to...}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Large Bean!

''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' SO UNSETTLING!

''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Strong Bad turns ice blue and falls to the floor, frozen. Teenage Homestar runs in to examine him.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{placing his head to Strong Bad's}'' Huh? ''{raises head}'' Strong Bad stopped breathing!

''{Musical sting.}''

''{Cut to teenage Homestar, standing up.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' We have to play in a band!

''{Cut to a drum being played by teenage Strong Mad. Zoom out to show the Mysfit-steries playing a song under a crescent moon. Teenage Strong Bad is standing frozen at his keyboard. Teenage Marzipan plays a horn.}''

''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad. As the music plays, the ice color drops away and his regular color returns. He starts pounding on his keyboard.}''

''{Cut to teenage Homestar's foot, tapping.}''

''{Teenage Homestar pops up and sings as the others play in the background.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing}'' And in the moonlight, things get kind of kooky.

''{Change to light blue background.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing}'' Girl, you know they do, and your parents don't—

''{Cut to teenage Homestar and Marzipan. Marzipan is playing the tambourine.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' —respect me as a man.

''{Teenage Marzipan frowns and walks away.}''

''{Cut to a field where the four teens are running.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' In the moonlight, ''{zoom out to reveal the group is being chased by Large Bean}'' things get kind of crazy.

''{Cut to a red machine labeled "ZIG-ZAGGÉD PANTS EXTRICATING MACHINE 2000".}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' They're trying to extricate ''{zoom out to show the whole machine in the middle of the woods. Teenage Strong Bad flips a switch to turn it on}'' me out of these—

''{Cut to teenage Homestar's pants.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' —absurd, zigzaggèd pants.

''{Teenage Homestar runs into the machine through the doorway maked "Enter". Large Bean follows him.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' Moonlight... ''{The machine begins to shake. Strong Bad turns away and covers his ears}'' kooky—

''{The music stops suddenly as the machine explodes. When the dust settles, Large Bean is tied up in teenage Homestar's pants.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{off-screen}'' Well, Strong Bad,

''{Cut to teenage Homestar and Strong Bad standing over Large Bean. Homestar is now wearing striped short-shorts.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' it looks like your never-ending attempts to unshackle me from my ridiculous-èd pants have finally paid off.

''{Teenage Strong Mad approaches in silhouette.}''

''{Cut to teenage Strong Mad.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG MAD:''' Let's find out whose rich uncle he really is.

''{He pulls off the mask of Large Bean, and is shocked.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Suh-suh-suh...

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Suh-suh-suh...

'''TEENAGE MARZIPAN:''' Suh-suh-suh...

''{Cut to...}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR, MARZIPAN, AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Stave It Off Guy!

''{Cut to teenage Marzipan.}''

'''TEENAGE MARZIPAN:''' I thought it was gonna be that creepy night watchman.

''{Cut to night watchman Coach Z, who is holding a bloody hammer.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN COACH Z:''' So did I, ''{puts hammer away}'' honestly.

''{Cut to night watchman Bubs and the Stave It Off Guy.}''

'''NIGHT WATCHMAN BUBS:''' Why would you want to kill Councilman Zonepermit?

''{The Stave It Off Guy laughs. Cut to him.}''

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' I don't know. ''{shrugs}'' I guess he wouldn't give me no permits.

''{Cut to teenage Homestar.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' There's only one place for a criminal like you.

''{Musical sting.}''

''{Cut to teenage Homestar and the Stave It Off Guy.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{taking out a guitar}'' Playing in our band!

''{Cut to teenage Strong Bad.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Are we forgetting he totally just murdered somebody?

''{Abrupt cut to the Mysfit-steries playing below a crescent moon once again, now joined by the Stave It Off Guy sitting in a chair and playing guitar with his Large Bean sleeves.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing}'' Moonlight... kooky...

''{Cut to the backup band on a blue background. Teenage Strong Bad is playing keyboards, Marzipan is playing the horn, and Strong Mad is drumming.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' Moonlight...

''{Cut to the two night watchmen dancing in front of the full moon. Coach Z is holding a bloody hammer.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' Kooky kooky...

''{Cut to the Stave It Off Guy. Numbers come out of talk balloons as he sings.}''

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' ''{in harmony background with Homestar}'' One... two... three...

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Moonlight, things get kind of kind of kooky, yeah.

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

''{Cut to the four Mysfit-steries playing their instruments on a yellow background, rotating in a circle.}''

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Kooky, oh yeah.

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

'''TEENAGE HOMESTAR:''' Saying kooky, oh yea-ha-hah.

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

''{Cut to the Stave It Off Guy playing guitar outside. A hideous monster with the head of Large Bean, a green body, and blue legs creeps up behind him.}''

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' ''{now the lead}'' One... two... three...

'''LARGE BEAN:''' ''{in harmony response}'' Stave it off...

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

'''LARGE BEAN:''' Stave it off...

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

'''LARGE BEAN:''' Stave it off...

''{Cut back to the Mysfit-steries with the night watchmen on a teal background.}''

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' And now you can count to...

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

''{Cut to the moon. The Stave It Off Guy's face appears in it as it slowly rises.}''

'''LARGE BEAN:''' Stave it off...

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

'''LARGE BEAN:''' You've got to stave it off...

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' One... two... three...

''{Cut to teenage Homestar with striped short-shorts and Large Bean with zig-zagged pants dancing on a yellow background.}''

'''LARGE BEAN:''' Stave it off...

''{Cut to the Stave It Off Guy, outside.}''

'''STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' Now you can count to—

''{Large Bean and teenage Homestar join in.}''

'''LARGE BEAN, TEENAGE HOMESTAR, STAVE IT OFF GUY:''' Threeeee...

''{Fade to black.}''

''{Cut back to the teaser screen. The text now reads "that was the whole cartoon this year".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So... that whole deal we just watched. Was that, like, the list of side effects for Coach Z's Jinxy-rolls medicine?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, what do you mean?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like: ''{in a prescription drug commercial tone}'' Side effects may include:

''{The teaser text disappears and is replaced with a bulleted list as Homestar speaks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Zig-zaggèd pants, large bean, clichéd parodies, and playing in a band.

'''COACH Z:''' No way. The only side effects of Lowjinxerol are...

''{The text "Happy Halloween!" appears.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

''{Strong Bad starts choking. His outrageous costume coughs him out, causing a silhouette of Strong Bad to go flying into the air against the full moon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaaa...! ''{Strong Bad stops in mid-air in front of the moon}'' Here I come! ''{drops straight down}'' Whooaa...!

''{Cut to all the characters wearing their costumes. Strong Bad drops into his usual space wearing his.}''
