## Synopsis

Kyle and the gang encounter four spooky events before they dress up and go trick-or-treating for Halloween.

## Plot

Liz tells Kyle that she's been informed by Mitchy that there was an alien that crash-landed near his house, and warns him that he might abduct both of them soon. Kyle then proves to her that there are no such things as aliens, and Eric agreed. Kyle then takes a shower when Liz joins him uninvited. Later that night, everyone went to sleep, except Liz who woke Kyle up to grab his attention. They rushed outside after Mitchy Beanson was abducted. A green alien shows up, abducting both Kyle and Liz at the same time.

A few days after the abduction, Liz then tells the story about the visitor of unknown, much to Kyle's dismay. Kyle then tells her that it's a made-up story from the 1800's. After he was awaken by a scary sound, Kyle went to the kitchen to see what was going on. Liz and Kyle both search for the visitor of unknown, only to have him get grabbed by it. Liz then rushes to rescue him, but it turns out that the visitor of unknown was actually Kumi the whole time.

At the same time, Zara Dawson warns her big sister, Erika, that she saw a spider that scares her. Erika then made friends with "Mr. Spider". Zara was right that Mr. Spider definitely was scary, and she ran away to her room. She then apologizes to the spider later on.

Liz then obviously points out to the viewers that after a fire occured at the old house, she, Kyle and Eric found a new home to stay in. Much later, she tells Kyle that a friend of hers tells her that ghosts are real, but once again, he tells her that there are no such things as ghosts. Kyle then says that angels are real, because he's a Christian. Erika came to the couch and agrees with him that ghosts. In her bedroom, Liz feels desperate and she thinks of a way to scare Kyle by being a ghost, so Eric puts flour all over her. That night, Kyle wakes up and sees a real ghost. Liz turns on the lights magically and she says she does it really well.

Days passed, and Kyle, Eric and Liz are ready for Halloween night. Their costumes are a vampire, a cowboy and an emo girl. Erika came with her costume being a mermaid. All of them went outside for the night, but a fat kid is scared by Kyle, who's dressed as a vampire. Erika then reveals that she had a flashback where her sister Zara thinks Butler is scared by a vampire. Meanwhile, Eric and Liz are searching for a rare Rangeltown Peanut Butter bar from 1946, when the two know that the Peanut Butter version was discontinued in 1968 due to a kid that choked on it and died. The two then found it in a dumpster. Meanwhile, Zara is dressed up as a nurse. She later joins Erika and Kyle. Eventually, two groups got together. Eric shows Kyle a Rangeltown Peanut Butter bar from 1946, and he thought it was cool.

## Trivia

* Although the short was previously released on video; clips from *The House Fire* were seen as a flashback Liz was narrating as chronologically, the latter two shorts mentioned above took place in the new house.
* Narrated by Liz Quintana. Originally, this film would've depicted Kyle and his friends telling four stories before dressing up for Halloween. Unfortunately, it was scrapped due to technical issues.
