''{Fade in to the characters standing in the field at night. Strong Bad is, as usual, dressed in a more distinct costume with a different body shape. The text "Silhouettes are up early this year!" is visible in front of the characters. Crickets chirp. After several seconds, light music begins to play and [[Characters from Yonder Website|Character 2]] walks into the frame.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a mock-relaxed voice}'' And here comes Character 2. It looks like he's stumbled upon... the pagan festival, that's right.

''{Zoom in onto Character 2}''

'''CHARACTER 2:''' Baseboardbaseboardbaseboardbaseboard.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's that, Character 2? You'd like a costume as well?

'''CHARACTER 2:''' Ha-bo-mey-bo.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How about I give you... a garland of sweet thyme. ''{A garland of thyme pops onto Character 2's head, replacing his hat}'' That's right, look at that. You might even say that I just... gave you a thyme. That's right, far out.

''{The silhouette of Ridley screeches, eats Character 2 (but not the garland of thyme), and flies at the camera with a whooshing sound}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mode seven.

''{The music fades out as the crickets resume}''

* Decompiling the Flash file reveals a hidden message upon trying to remove the silhouettes. This teaser's [[Nice Try|message]] reads "can't see this on [[YouTube|youtube]]".

=== <span class="mw-headline">Trivia</span> ===

* This was the earliest Halloween teaser, beating [[Halloween Safety]] by exactly two weeks. This is alluded to in the teaser text.
* The actual Halloween toon came out twenty-four days after this teaser, making this the longest span of time between the release of a Halloween teaser and its corresponding Halloween toon.

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* The teapot on Homsar's head is smaller than in the toon, and there is no empty space inside the handle, or between the teapot and the spout.

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Inside References</span> ===

* Character 2 and Strong Bad's soothing narration both originated in the [[Skills of an Artist]] episode [[Cartoon Characters]] and played a prominent role in the toon [[Characters from Yonder Website]], which was released just over a week prior to this teaser.
* As in previous Halloween teasers, [[Strong Bad's Teaser Costumes|Strong Bad's silhouetted costume]] is very elaborate.
* Strong Bad gives Character 2 a [[Thyme|thyme]], which is also a reference to the Skills of an Artist in which Character 2 originated.
* The screeching noise the Ridley creature makes sounds a lot like that made by [[Mrs. Commanderson]].

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Real-World References</span> ===

* Strong Bad appears in silhouette as [[Ridley (Metroid)|Ridley]] from [[Metroid]]; specifically, his [[Super Metroid]] sprite.
* [[Mode 7]] is a graphics mode used by the [[Nintendo|Super NES]] that allowed for rotational scaling and pseudo-3D graphical effects, such as Ridley flying toward the screen in ''Super Metroid''. It was previously mentioned by Strong Bad in [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]].
