Halloween made manifest. Everyone’s invited. The boundaries are breached.

Post Credit Scene
Dot comes outside and sits on the porch with the old man, who is confused when she doesn't recognise him. Dot notices that the old man has one of her bowls. The old man promises to return it.

Dot then remembers that she forgot to water the stones. The old man promises not to tell.

Music and Trivia
Lyrics for 'Do the Trick or Treat' written by Jessica Best. Music written by Stephen Poon. Performed by Michael Turrentine with backing vocals by Betsey Palmer and Stephen Poon.

Lyrics and music for 'My Boyfriend is a Jack O’Lantern' written by Jessica Best. Performed by Betsey Palmer

Lyrics for 'The Graveyard Shuffle' written by Jessica Best. Music written by Stephen. Performed by Jeffrey Nils Gardner, with backing vocals from Michael Turrentine and Betsey Palmer.

All songs are played by Clayton Faits and Joe Griffin on guitars, Dan Schaeffer on bass, and David Schaeffer on drums. They were recorded by Daniel Christain and Jeffrey Nils Gardner, and mixed and mastered by Gunnar Jebsen.

'My Boyfriend is a Jack O’Lantern' was inspired by a CD of novelty Halloween songs, specifically the title "My Son is a Vampire". Jessica Best and her family dared each other to write their own spooky songs in the same vein.

To keep the pacing, Jessica Best was asked to double the amount of lyrics in 'The Graveyard Shuffle'. She describes it as 'a creepy electric slide', and Jeffrey Nils Gardner said they 'bounced back and forth between Riff Raff from Rocky Horror and Monster Mash' while performing it.
