[beeps]

Little late to be buying candy, don't you think?

Look, Gordo.

As a kid, I shouldn't even be buying candy on Halloween.

I'm meant to be out there trick-or-treating.

But my boy Barry has to stay home and look after his baby brother.

Oh, well, maybe I'll stop by later and claim some of these back.

[chuckles]

[Helen] Well, don't even think about knocking on my door.

I don't do Halloween.

But you're dressed up,

what with the huge axe in your back and all.

What?

- Happy Halloween, Pawva’s Java! - [all] Happy Halloween, Kiff!

Happy Halloween, Principal Secretary!

Happy Halloween, Kiff!

Happy Halloween, swarm of spiders

who still weirdly hangs out with Roy Fox!

Got it.

Kiff, are you sure you don't want to get out there and trick-or-treat?

I don't mind.

Oh. [scoffs] And spend Halloween without my best bun?

Besides, we're gonna be the most popular house in Table Town

with all this top-shelf candy.

- Okay. Candy? - Check

Candy?

[chuckles] Sure.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait! You can't...

[gasps, pants]

[teenagers laugh]

I... Uh... They...

The night has just started and we're already out of candy?

[knock on door]

[sighs] It's probably the teens. They were just doing a trick.

[chuckles]

Trick or treat?

I'm so sorry. We don't have any candy.

No... no candy? Not even a licorice lozenge?

No, there were these teenagers, you see!

- Going completely against... - Absolutely beyond the pale...

- ...the code of Halloween. - ...and these people have to be

- brought up on charges! - And they should be sued!

- It is unacceptable and frankly... - Whoa!

Oh, no. Oh, no.

- [whimpers] - We have apples!

This is bad, Bar.

We need more candy, Kiff. Stat.

Maybe Slim Pickins is still open?

'No, Slim Pickins is not still open.' Oh.

What are we gonna do?

Maybe there's another stor... Hey, the kid!

Good thing you're still open.

[chews] Mm!

- Thank you, sir! - Bye!

Bye! [cackles]

He sure is a happy old man.

[owl hooting]

Barry? Does something seem different to you?

- Wait. - Huh?

[♪ mysterious music playing ♪]

Night fish here! Get your night fish here!

- [chuckles] Come on! - Come on!

Give us all your...

[cawing]

Cobblestones? Fishmongers?

- Give me one of your sweets! Give me... - No, they're mine!

Did we go out the wrong door?

Oh, uh, let's go ask the nice Candy Shoppe guy.

It's gone? What is happening? Is... Is... Is this a curse?

Wait. Wait!

Its Principal Secretary.

Ha! We're saved! Principal Secretary! Principal Secretary!

Principal Secretary? What sort of ridiculous name is that?

I'd never have that name, nor would any of my descendants.

My name's Constable Secretary, and I want to know

what you lot think you're doing down here.

I've never seen you. Who are your parents?

Is that a baby's head?

You know my mom, Beryl Chatterley.

[sighs] P.S., please, I don't have any bars.

Please, can I just use your phone?

Look, there's no such thing as a phone. Mm.

Better take you lot down to the station

to get this... [in slow motion] ...all sorted out...

- [indistinct chatter slows to a stop] - Get your night fish here...

What?

[wind howling lowly]

You don't belong here.

[growling]

- [panting] - [whimpering]

[growling lowly]

- Give me one of your sweets! Gimme! - They're mine!

Fish here!

...out.

Uh, must be some manner of Hallows' Eve trickery.

[both exhale]

[sighs] I think we lost him.

What in the name of all that is actual?

Barry, the date! This newspaper is 200 years old!

Kiff! I want to go home to my mom. Please!

Me too, Bar. But I don't think our parents have even been born yet.

You're right.

Why, for someone we know to be around now,

they would have to have been living for hundreds of years.

- [kids] Trick or treat! - [Helen] Can’t you read the sign?

I don’t do All Hallows' Eve! Scram!

- Helen! - Helen!

I said I don't do All Hallow...

- Helen! - Helen!

Who are you, and how do you know my name?

Wow, that was quite the detailed rundown

of the next 200 years.

Can you help us get back to our time?

Okay. I'll need some details.

Yes, anything.

Who wins the Table Town Croquet Cup next year?

- What? - Can you remember the point spread?

- We don't know! - We don't know!

Ugh, useless.

I'm scared, Kiff. Are we gonna be trapped here forever?

I don't know, Barry. But at least we'll have each other.

[knocking on door]

[gasps] That kid.

He looks just like the kid who came to my door.

What do you want?

T... Trick or treat?

I don't have any candy.

No candy? Not even a licorice lozenge?

This is like word-for-word what happened with us.

[Kiff] It's an exact replay of earlier.

Did he get sent back with us?

Obviously, that kid's a time phantom.

Some terrible thing happens tonight to make him haunt

all the Halloweens for centuries to come.

Duh.

Must be what you saw earlier in the future.

Suppose you've got to fix it so you're sent back

to your own time?

I don't know. You'll figure it out. But make it quick.

You're really not supposed to be here.

Right, because we're in the wrong time.

[chuckles] No, because I have a hot date with a centaur.

[laughs loudly] Look at his bloomers!

[all laugh]

[bystander] Look at him!

[all laugh]

Barry, this must be the terrible thing that caused him to become a time phantom.

Poor guy. All he wanted was some candy.

Yeah. [gasps]

Maybe if we give him our candy, we'll get sent back to our time.

[panting]

- Wait! - Wait!

- [panting] - Night fish! I said get your night fish!

- [panting] - This keeps happening!

[whimpers]

- [sobbing quietly] - Wait. Do you hear that?

[sobbing quietly, sniffles]

- Hey, buddy. - [shrieks]

What do you want?

Have you come to laugh at my enormous bloomers?

No, what? No. We saw what happened,

and we just wanted to say it's all okay.

You can have some of our candy. Hey, look at that.

A licorice lozenge. That's all you wanted, right?

They... They are my favorites.

- [chews] - Okay! Back we go.

What are you doing?

Trying to get home. Eat more candy.

[chewing]

Any second now.

[kid 1] Come on! No, they're mine!

I’m the haberdashers daughter! Come on!

[kid 2 giggles] Trick or treat!

[all] Trick or treat!

Wait, I don't think the terrible thing is him not getting candy.

I think it's that he never got to trick-or-treat.

[whimpers]

Right.

You got here quick.

Oh, it's you two. What do you want?

Helen, we just need one quick favor

and then we'll be out of your hair forever.

Well, for 200 years. Then we're gonna...

Then we're gonna climb back in your hair

and make a little nest in there.

[chuckles] We do need your help, though.

What?

We need you to take this candy and give that kid

the full trick-or-treat experience.

You're joking.

Think of it as a role.

Yeah, like acting, which you love.

Acting? Acting.

Makes sense. Acting, yes. Okay, I'll give it a go.

Now remember, it's on the second floor.

But... I don't even have a costume. I'm... I'm still in my bloomers.

We got you. Hey, what's your name, by the way?

I'm Little Crumble Smallsmith.

Nice to meet you. I’m Kiff and Barry!

And this is Kristophe.

How do you do?

- [thunder crashes] - [♪ upbeat spooky music playing]

[♪ music concludes ♪]

Ta-da! You’re Chubbles.

Chubbles Wubbington.

I don't know who that is.

Chubbles. What a lovely name for a baby!

I love it.

Trick or Treat?

Oh meneme nome no.

Oh meneme nome no.

Oh menome no...

- We did it! - We did it!

[giggles]

- [♪ ominous music playing ♪] - Oh no!

It's happening again!

What's happening?

[creaking]

What are those things?

Those are Time Goblinoids. They’re pretty bad.

[locks clicking]

- [growling] - [all scream]

[panting]

[screams, pants]

Who... Who are those ghouls?

We don't know!

I’m sorry we dragged you into this, Little Crumble Smallsmith!

[both scream]

It's a dandy adventure.

[panting]

It's a dead end?

We're trapped?

We gotta hide.

Hide? I've never hidden before. Oh! [chuckles]

[growls]

Look at me! I'm hiding! Look... Hm... [muffled groan]

[breathes shakily] They're leaving.

- [chewing] - Kristophe!

Now you get involved in the story?

- [growls] - [screams]

Don't hurt my brother!

Wait, what? We don't want to hurt anyone.

We... We want to help you. Get back to your own time, obviously.

We're just a couple humble time goblinoids.

Bureaucrats who track down lost time travelers

and send them home, but you keep running from us.

Wait, what did you think we were going to do to you?

- Kill us? - Oh! [laughs]

Wow! [hesitates] Jeez...

[hesitates] I'm sorry. That is so offensive to me.

Yeah, what even gave you that impression?

Uh, I... I don't know. You're... You're pretty scary.

You're wearing necklaces made out of teeth and bones.

These are pretty darn fashionable where we're from.

Judge a book by its cover much? [laughs] Unbelievable.

What a lark!

Now I feel terrible.

I think I speak for the group when I...

- fully apologize for this huge mix-up... - [snarling]

Oh.

I've been waiting a long time for you two.

I mean, three.

[chewing]

- Little Crumble Smallsmith all grown up! - Little Crumble Smallsmith all grown up!

Well, not so little anymore, but yes.

Little Crumble Smallsmith owns the creepy candy store

that started this whole nightmare?

It's just a regular candy store now, with very reasonable prices.

You see, you discovered the true pain I suffered all those years ago.

Not that I didn't have candy, but that I didn't have friends.

[both] Oh!

Over these centuries, my hurt became hardened.

Petrified.

And when that happens, you've got yourself a curse.

Yeah, that tracks.

All these years, I've been sending people

back in time through a portal of my own hurt feelings

in the hopes that someone would befriend me

on that terrible night.

But for 200 years, they never did.

But you two came along and showed me kindness

in my darkest hour, and that changed my whole life.

See? I'm nice now. [chuckles]

Thank you, Kiff and Barry. Oh, and you too, little baby.

Your hurt became a curse.

Because you didn't have any friends.

Well, I do now.

I can finally rest.

Oh.

Oh.

There you go.

And thanks to all this weird temporal junk,

we still have the whole evening ahead of us to hand out candy.

But Kiff, the teens, they're just gonna take our candy again.

Huh. Hang on.

[both snarl]

[all scream]

Lavender spray?

[all scream]

[all laugh]

Hey, thanks!

Any... time.
