## Synopsis

Kenny Ferretson was on his way to the Raptors' football stadium to check up on the other Saurusgers as well as the Raptor Cheer Squad while George and Louise were getting their house ready for their Halloween party. However, when he arrived, he saw that the cheerleaders were all wearing ghost costumes due to a mix-up caused by Terry Crowan and Anthony Wolfman, making it difficult to tell who was who. Meanwhile, Emperor Zejutow saw everyone in costume on Halloween, and he figured that no one would suspect him and his minions since everyone's dressed up. So, after seeing Andrea Otterson and Denise Foxshade going to the Ferretsons' Halloween party, he decided to send some monsters to impersonate them, and infiltrate the Saurusgers' base. His minions created Sucker Man and Pirateriscope, as well as Wanderror to transform them into their exact duplicates, and were sent to the party to carry out Zejutow's plans. However, since the Raptor Cheer Squad were all dressed as ghosts, they kidnapped Bobby Stripes and Gracie Wolfsbane, thinking they were Andrea and Denise, and brought them to an abandoned warehouse where Shalliam Wilm and Wanderror were waiting for them. After Wanderror turned Sucker Man and Pirateriscope into Bobby and Gracie, they returned to the party, but Master Opum was able to sense that something wasn't right. He called the Saurusgers back to base to tell them what happened, and Anthony suggested that they bring the Raptor Cheer Squad to the base so they can interrogate them, and root out the imposters. So, the Raptor Cheer Squad was brought to the base, and they were each questioned on things that only they would know. Andrea and Denise were questioned as well as they are also members of the Raptor Cheer Squad, and they could be the imposters. After they were done questioning the cheerleaders, Opum confirmed that Bobby and Gracie were the imposters, and when the real Bobby and Gracie arrived at the base, they blasted the imposters, turning them back into Sucker Man And Pirateriscope. They pursued the two monsters to the docks, and they fought with them along with Shalliam, Wanderror, and some Daffacots. During the fight, Shalliam and Wanderror fled the scene, leaving Sucker Man and Pirateriscope to fight with the Saurusgers. The two monsters were eventually destroyed by Tyranno-SaurusZin, and the Saurusgers and the Raptor Cheer Squad all returned to the party.

## Notes

* The following chapters from the history of the Super Animal Squadron series have been referenced when the cheerleaders were being questioned by Master Opum:
	+ The Really Bad TV from Woodland Squadron: Foresger
	+ Weed Wrestling from Woodland Squadron: Foresger
	+ Down at the Docks from Soaring Squadron: Skyranger
	+ Puppets of Misfortune from Fantasy Squadron: Medievalger
* The TUFF Puppy episode "Chilly Dog" was mentioned in Heather Newman's questioning as well, even stating that Dudley Puppy's persona had her name in it.
* The Raptor Cheer Squad getting interviewed to determine who are monsters in disguise is similar to the case in the **Power Rangers: Dino Charge** Halloween special, "The Ghostest With The Mostest," where Memorella replaced one of the Rangers, and Kendall Morgan put them through a lie detector test to determine who the monster was.
* The Halloween special was going to be another trial episode, with the monster being a lawyer monster called the Black Lawyer. However, since Traffic Squadron: Roadranger had a trial episode for its Halloween special, and that having two Halloween trial episodes would be a little redundant, it was decided that the Saurusger Halloween special would be based on "The Ghostest With The Mostest," and the Black Lawyer was reworked into Black Dragon Killer.
