Teletubbies: Halloween

Those 2 Teletubbies episodes based around video games were rather terrifying, but this one centered around a horror movie series known as Halloween. I never knew that lost episodes of Teletubbies can have this much disturbing crap, or did they?

Anyways, it all started on a Saturday in July.

I was walking down to the park when I noticed some free stuff. What interested me were the video tapes. I picked up a few movies like Pretty Woman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of The Ooze and others.

While looking for other titles, one thing caught my eye. As you guessed it, it was another Teletubbies DVD. But it wasn't in a CD case. The cover consisted of the Teletubbies in front of a full moon. The DVD was titled as "Cat's Night Out And Other Stories." I brought the DVD home along with all the tapes I had picked up.

Instead of watching it in either my room or in the living room, I figured it would be a good idea to watch the DVD in the shed, since I had a DVD player in there along with a TV.

I inserted the DVD and sat back. It showed the warning screen, ABC DVD logo and ABC for Kids logo and went to the menu. The menu depicted of the same moon as seen on the cover. The options were like all the other Teletubbies DVD's I've seen.

I selected Play All and watched 3 episodes entitled "Cat's Night Out", "Apple Pie" and "Harp". As soon as those episodes were over, the next episode began with a warning. It read:

"The following episode of Teletubbies was made in 2002 to promote the release of "Halloween: Ressurection". It contains content including blood/gore and violence. Parents are strongly advised to not let their children view this episode. You have been warned."

"Oh I get it, this is a promotion for a Halloween movie. Bring it on!" I muttered.

The intro came on, only that there were a few changes. There were some pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns scattered across Teletubbyland. And at the end of the intro, the trumpet rose up and didn't say "Where have the Teletubbies gone?" It said, "He is coming for the Teletubbies!"

Given that this episode was made for a Halloween movie, I assumed it was Michael Myers. But what would he want with the Teletubbies?

Anyway, it showed the sun baby who seemed rather confused while it stared directly at me.

The first segment began with Laa-Laa holding a pumpkin, probably because it was the day of halloween in this episode.

"Eh-Oh!" Laa-Laa said.

"One day in Teletubbyland, Laa-Laa was getting ready for halloween." The narrator spoke.

She then walked all the way down to the windmill and put some more pumpkins in front of it. Meanwhile, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Po were in the middle of eating some tubby toast.

Before Laa-Laa sat down at the table with her piece of tubby toast, a rocket could be heard outside.

"What's that noise?" Tinky Winky asked.

"It sounds like a rocket!" The narrator responded.

It then showed what appeared to be a rocket landing in Teletubbyland. The Teletubbies walked out of the house to see what was going on. The door to the rocket opened up and inside it was no other than Michael Myers. Michael appeared in his 2018 design.

"How did Michael get a rocket to Teletubbyland?" I questioned in my head.

As you know, Michael doesn't speak. The Teletubbies just stared at him. Before Michael could do anything, the windmill span. The quartet did their usual "Uh-Oh!" like always.

They ran up to a hill so the TV event could begin. Dipsy was the one selected.

The TV event began with a person in a point of view style. It was a bit unclear what kind of mask the person was wearing. The person puts on the rest of his costume and it turns out it was a boy in a pumpkin costume.

He then made his way out the door and saw all of the trick or treaters in their costumes. The boy walked around his neighborhood for about 25 seconds until something disturbing happened.

A person in dark clothing appeared in front of the boy. The boy looked up and saw Michael Myers. Michael can be heard breathing under his mask. Just then, a couple people dressed up as Freddy Krueger and Winnie The Pooh walked up behind Michael.

"You're not gonna hurt me are you?" The boy asked.

Michael or the 2 other people did not give an answer. All of a sudden, Michael took out a carbon knife.

The boy screamed when he saw it and tried to run back to his house while Michael and his friends followed him.

"Someone! Anyone! Please help me! I'm being chased!" The boy screamed, begging for help.

He did eventually get back to his place. He then banged on the door while calling for his mom and dad. The boy looked behind him and Michael was still on his trail.

As Michael got close to him, the boy let out a blood curdling scream that seemed to hurt my ears. For some reason, the screen cut to black as I can hear blood splattering and the boy screaming realistically.

My ears didn't bleed during that time.

But I felt really sorry for that kid.

As the TV event ended, it showed a shot of the sun baby. It then cut back to the Teletubbies' house with Michael's rocket still being in place.

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa, and Po were walking over to the Tubby Custard Machine for Tubby Toast. But what they didn't know was that Michael Myers was right behind them, holding his first weapon: a chainsaw. Michael started the chainsaw up, causing the Teletubbies to look around, worriedly.

"Uh oh!" said the Teletubbies, nervously.

"Are we being watched?" asked Po.

Laa Laa soon noticed that the chainsaw was rather in front of her neck. She ran out of the house screaming like crazy.

Suddenly, Laa-Laa ended up tripping on a rock that somehow got in Teletubbyland.

"Laa-Laa, look out!" said the narrator.

At that moment, Michael walked up to a clone machine and cloned himself. Then, the Michael clones got out a series of musical instruments. Clone One had a guitar, Clone Two had a bass, Clone Three had a keyboard, and Clone Four was on drums.

"What are they doing?" Asked the narrator.

Just then, the Michael clones began playing a very loud version of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits. For some reason, Laa-Laa's ears began to bleed. She soon fell down to the floor while the real Michael Myers took out the same chainsaw from before. Michael inserted the chainsaw into her back while Laa-Laa let out a blood curdling scream.

Once he killed Laa-Laa, Po started throwing her bowl of tubby custard at him.

"You leave Teletubbyland alone!" Po shouted.

Suddenly, Michael walked up to Po and grabbed her by the neck. He then began to choke her while Po could be heard choking loudly. Po was also having tears coming from her eyes.

That's when it happened, Laurie Strode (As she appears in Halloween: Ressurection) came out and shouted, "Hey! Michael! You wanna mess with them? You're gonna have to mess with me first!"

Laurie then took out a shotgun and began shooting at Michael. Tinky Winky and Dipsy thought about joining in, so they grabbed Michael by the head and slammed him to the floor.

"That's it guys! Bring him down!" Laurie said to Tinky Winky and Dipsy.

Before the 2 male teletubbies could do anything, Laurie asked, "Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Tinky Winky kill scary man with foot!" Tinky Winky said.

"Me too!" said Dipsy.

"You guys rapidly stomp on his head, the red teletubby and I will keep him down to the ground so he doesn't get back up." Laurie remarked.

Tinky Winky and Dipsy began stomping on Michael's face like Laurie told them to. As soon as they finished, Laurie took out a carbon knife and began to slit Michael's neck to the point tons of blood came out of it.

Suddenly, Po pointed to what appeared to be an industrial shredder.

"How did that get there?" I questioned once more.

"Let's end this madness!" Laurie said.

The 3 teletubbies and Laurie walked over to the shredder and placed Michael's body in it. Laurie stepped out of the shredder while Po pulled the lever. As Michael was being shredded, blood splattered onto Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Po and Laurie.

"Ew!" The 3 teletubbies said.

"I know, it can get bloody." Laurie said.

"Time for cleaning!" Dipsy remarked.

"Good idea!" Po said.

As the teletubbies walked back to their house, the tubby bye bye scene came in. But as expected, it didn't say "Time for tubby bye bye!" like it would. What it instead said was, "Michael has been defeated. All thanks to Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Po and Laurie Strode!"

Suddenly, Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Po appeared in front of the screen and said "Boo!"

I jumped a bit because it felt like a jumpscare. Laurie appeared next to them and said, "Well, we did it. The boogeyman won't be coming back anymore. Not even in a million years. Goodbye and have a happy halloween!"

The credits played normal, only that Laa-Laa wasn't shown due to her being killed.

"That was fucking great!" I said.

As soon as the credits finished rolling, the Ragdoll productions logo played, except the background was orange like a pumpkin. The ABC DVD and ABC for Kids logo played normal and went back to the menu.

You know what, that wasn't very bad. Well of course, it did have some scary elements such as the pumpkin costume boy and Laa-Laa getting killed. I figured that I keep the DVD so I could watch it again sometime on halloween day.

Have a happy halloween!
