Chapter 6-Heart-Racing Scatter (Halloween Special)
A lit-up Jack O' Lantern pumpkin was shown before the camera paced around to the Jurys Inn where Clara, Penny, Yoshiro, Haruki, Pollyanna, Thornton, Dash, Genesis, Travis, Rico, Emma, and Kitty we're having a horror movie marathon on their night off from competing and they enjoyed the much needed rest for tomorrow's leg of the race. They were watching an assortment of movies telling by the DVD's scattered on the floor. There was "Friday the 13th," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Ghostbusters," "Poltergeist." "The Conjuring," and the current movie they was watching was the first "Halloween" movie of the series.
"How can Michael not die from a fall off the roof? First, he gets shot and now, he's takes a tumble and is able to walk freely." Dash stated.
"That's kind of the point, luv. He's a supernatural being with immense strength and durability. That's why he's got such a high kill count and this was only his first rampage." Penny replied.
"These slasher films are really overrated. What's the point in escaping someone who can't die or who you can't outrun?" Yoshiro asked.
"I suppose the same way you getting a haircut is underrated." Travis stated as a few people chuckled.
"I think it looks adorable." Penny muttered with a slight blush.
"When are you going to ask him out, Pen? He could clearly like you right now." Clara whispered.
"I'm too shy. What if he doesn't even know I exist or rejects me?" Penny asked as she played with her hair.
"You don't know that. He's practically a sitting duck for you to cuddle with." Clara teased.
"Shut up! He might hear you." Penny stated as he covered her partner's mouth.
Haruki and Yoshiro were just minding their own business when Haruki has a thought come to his mind.
"So when you asking out Penny?" Haruki asked with a sly smirk.
"You're still on that? Get over it. That's my decision." Yoshiro replied.
"You literally have the golden opportunity right now. Don't waste it, bub." Haruki stated.
Yoshiro bit his lip and looked over at Penny instantly stunned by his beauty and she looked over as they made eye contact for the first time. She blushed pulling some blonde hair over her face to conceal it as Yoshiro cleared his throat blushing immensely. Penny saw Yoshiro's left hand as she tapped the floor with her right. She thought to herself if she should make the move or let Yoshiro make his call. Penny was so tempted as she was crushing hard on Yoshiro ever since Hong Kong.
"Hi there…" Yoshiro greeted as he scratched the back of his head.
"H-hi…" Penny greeted, going full tomato on her face.
"G-great…m-m-movie, huh?" Yoshiro asked, trying to keep his composure.
"I-I-I lov-lov-e ho-rr-or." Penny stuttered as she scooted a little closer.
"I'm…not the…biggest fan…but…" Yoshiro stated as he tried thinking of something else to say.
Clara and Haruki cringed a little, but the talking was a start. They may have to move their partners a little closer so Penny could get over her shyness and Yoshiro can have a better experience with love. Yoshiro and Penny were both blushing as they were glad it was dark with the only light source being the television. They hid their faces and scooted away as they weren't ready to talk too much. At least not at the moment.
The camera shows a black globe as the logo 'The Amazing Ridonculous Race' appears on screen in gold letters as the camera then cuts to all 18 teams standing in a circle looking at the environment around them.

With it getting close to the holiday of Halloween, Phil and Don informed the teams that they could come to their next destination in costumes of their choice. The only rules were that the costumes couldn't be vulgar and they couldn't carry on weapons as not to scare the locals.
Daisy and Arnold(The Cousins): I can't wait to get the costumes we picked out! We had them specifically picked out based on our favorite show. I'm not much of a cosplayer, but who could resist the chance to dress on up on a special holiday such as this.
Harvey and Ricky(The Pyromaniac Party Animals): I just hope the costumes you picked out for us don't make me look nerdy or dumb. I need to scout the local babe scene since Tonia left. She didn't want to sleep with you, moron. You've had like ten rejections trying to get in her panties. She was asking for it and you know it!
Each team was given boxes with their desired costumes as they took them to their hotel rooms to try them on. Some teams were ecstatic than others as they got the costumes they wanted while others just merely facepalmed or shrugged at what they got.
The list for the costumes goes like this:
The Sisters: Queen Elizabeth I(Emma) and (Kitty)
The Goat Farmers: Frankenstein(Josh) and Mad Scientist(Brent)
The Traveling Friends: Daphne Blake(Lindasy) and Velma Dinkley(
The Professional Wrestlers: Patrick Bateman(Avery) and Hannibal Lecter(Travis)
The Cheerleaders: Little Red Riding Hood(Hannah) and Kasumi(Roosevelt)
The Cousins: Lars Barriga(Arnold) and Spinel(Daisy)
The Lovey Dovey: Bella Swan(Genesis) and Edward Cullen(Dash)
The Twin Blades: Naruto Uzumaki(Haruki) and Sasuke Uchiha(Yoshiro)
The Roomates: Sailor Jupiter(Clara) and Tracer(Penny)
The Photographers: The Terminator(Travis) and Joker(Rico)
The Family Feud: Captain Marvel(Rebecca) and Scarlet Witch(Athena)
The Beauty and The Beast: Frank Sinatra(Thornton) and Lady Justice(Pollyanna)
The Pyromaniac Party Animals: Spider-Man(Harvey) and Human Torch(Ricky)
They were all handed their next clues as they all took showers and switched into their costumes ready to see what their next destination was.
"We are heading to Puebla, Mexico." Ricky read the Route Info as Harvey looked over his shoulder through his mask.
"Mexico would make a lot of sense for a Halloween Special." Dash explained.
Clue #1: Travel to Puebla, Mexico
Summary: Teams must fly from Belfast to the state of Puebla in the country of Mexico. From the airport, they must take a rental car to one of the buildings named Casa de los Muñecos where they will find their next clue.
The teams called in taxis as they jumped in with their bags heading to the airport as they wanted the earliest flights possible. Some screens were shown of the teams talking about their next trip.
"Out of all the costumes, you chose ninjas for us?" Yoshiro asked as he looked at his attire which was the regular Sasuke attire from the show.
"What's the big deal? I got the idea after talking to Clara and it turns out it's a personal favorite of hers. That's why I chose these costumes so we can be on her good side and show you'd be a good boyfriend for Penny." Haruki replied.
"Or you just want to impress her to embarrass me on double dates." Yoshiro stated.
"More or less, but I still like our costumes." Haruki added as he checked out his general Naruto attire.
"I'm really excited to be the Joker! He's one of the best aspects about Batman." Rico stated.
"And to top it all, you're the Heath Ledger Joker and not that knockoff from the Suicide Squad." Travis added.
Rico was dressed in full Joker attire with the purple jacket and green undershirt with a nice white flower on his lapel. He dyed his hair green and out on the face makeup although it felt funny on his face. Travis was wearing a black leather jacket with a grey shirt underneath. He wore a red eye contact lens to signify his robot eye and half of his left arm was painted to create a mix of human skin and robotic metal. He wore dark blue jeans and black boots as well as black-fingerless gloves for the hell of it. Travis was no Arnold, but he thought he looked proper in the role.
"I loved that movie." Rico defended.
"Eh, it didn't really live up to the hype that it was giving off. Looked more like a screwed-up fanfiction that a DC movie." Travis retorted.
Rebecca was admiring her Captain Marvel uniform while Athena mediated in her seat. Rebecca looked very annoyed.
"You're freaking the driver out." Rebecca whispered.
"I can't cancel my shakra for a lonely soul. My inner senses dwindle as we speak on the matter." Athena stated.
"You really do act like a witch." Rebecca retorted with the roll of her eyes.
"That negative vibe is bleeding blue. You need to reset your attitude to include the new spring." Athena stated with a furrowed brow.
Thornton was straightening his suit and fiddling with his grey fedora as he and Pollyanna waited for them to reach the airport.
"Я чувствую себя таким смущенным." Pollyanna muttered in Russian.
"Oh, chin up, dear. That costume was the best I could create and it makes you stylish." Thornton stated.
"What would parents think of this?" Pollyanna asked.
"They would see how much their big girl has grown up as a tough partner, but not afraid to look good doing it." Thornton replied.
Pollyanna blushed as she was always thought of as the tough girl to hide behind and being the daughter of Russian military soldiers, that image stuck with her throughout her school years. She was a loner and only kept to herself until she saved Thornton and he deemed her as his protector. They have been inseparable ever since, but she couldn't help, but feel violated in some way.
"Look, it's only for this leg so you can take it off as long as we don't get eliminated." Thornton promised.
The first five teams to arrive at the airport were The Roommates, The Twin Blades, The Traveling Friends, The Photographers, and The Family Feud. They were all set to fly out to Puebla at 6:25 AM as they all rushed to the gate to get their seats.
Haruki and Yoshiro(The Twin Blades): I can't believe that we get to go to Mexico this time around! The birthplace of mariachi bands and the famous sombreros. I'm so totally buying one! I thought you were supposed to be a ninja! It's only for this leg! The sombreros are forever.
"I just can't over that we are the actual Daphne and Velma from my favorite childhood show. I wanna be 5 again so bad!" Lindsay stated as she stroked her orange hair.
"This does have a soft spot in my childhood and Velma was a role model of mine, because of how smart she was deducing each mystery." Beth added.
The next five teams to get to the airport was The Lovey Dovey, The Goat Farmers, The Professional Wrestlers, The Pyromaniac Party Animals, and The Cheerleaders. They all got their tickets and luggage in for the 7:30 AM flight to London and then to Puebla,
"This is so much fun having these cute costumes for our challenges!" Hannah cooed as she skipped holding hands with her less amused partner.
"It's alive tonight!" Brent joked with Josh as the gay couple shared a laugh.
"I gotta be careful with this mask so I don't get us thrown out of here. This thing can be hard to breathe in." Harvey stated as he sucked in some air after taking off his mask.
The three teams being the Cousins, The Beauty and The Beast, and the Sisters scheduled themselves for the 8:15 AM flight to Puebla as they were worried about falling behind.
"I hope we don't go straight to last. That wouldn't look good for my complexion." Thornton stated.
"I kinda look like a dork, but if it means I can pretend to be my favorite character from a show we love, I'm willing to look the part." Arnold added as he wore a proud smile.
"These clothes are getting a bit stretched! Why didn't I choose a loose historical character?" Emma asked herself as her and Kitty made it to their gate.
Everyone was putting their bags up getting weird looks for being in their costumes as they sat down either to listen to music, watch the TV provided, or drift off to sleep. The planes were in the air not a moment too sooner.
The teams were soon making their descent into Puebla, Mexico as the hot sun rang out over the country. The current time was 4:30 PM as the first set of teams got off their plane heading for the baggage return after going through the proper immigration stations to enter the country. The Twin Blades saw their bag going around as Yoshiro got it.
The Twin Blades-Currently in First Place
The next bag to be seen was Lindsay's and Beth's as they grabbed them hoisting them over to their side before heading for a rental car.
The Traveling Friends-Currently in Second Place
Athena went for her bag and Rebecca's as she came back over for Rebecca to check and make sure everything was there. They ran for the parking garage and looked for their parked rental car.
The Family Feud-Currently in Third Place
Clara saw her and Penny's bags as she grabbed them handing off Penny hers as they ran straight for the exit.
The Roommates-Currently in Fourth Place
Travis and Rico saw their bags last as Rico got them to hand them over making they had their clothes and belongings inside.
The Photographers-Currently in Fifth Place
Yoshiro was driving while Haruki tried reading the map and ended up being a lot more confused then he bargained for.
"Where we headed, dude?" Yoshiro asked as he turned to his partner.
"I'm not sure. I think I might be reading backwards." Haruki replied.
"Geez, you need to learn better. Let me see it." Yoshiro requested as he stopped at a red light.
Yoshiro read the map as he was sure where to go making a left turn when the light turned green as he swerved the car onto the next road. They ended up in to the center of the city as they saw Casa de los Munecos and Yoshiro did a parallel parking job. Both boys got as they ran for the clue box with the Traveling Friends just right behind them.
"We got ourselves a Roadblock." Yoshiro stated as he ripped open to the clue to read the details.
Clue #2: Roadblock-Puppet Master
Summary: Casa de los Munecos is Spanish for "Puppet House" and one member of each team will have to craft their own puppet. On the side of the street is a crafting table made with all assortments to help make their puppet. They must choose a style for their puppet and accurately create the puppet according to the style. Once they are done, they must show their puppet to the puppeteer. If he signs them off, they will receive their next clue.
Haruki volunteered to do it as he went over to the catalog and started picking out a style of puppet he wanted to make. The Traveling Friends arrived as they read the clue deciding Beth would handle this challenge.
Lindsay and Beth(The Traveling Friends): My handling of arts and crafts have improved so much since I was such a creative girl back in elementary school. I also demonstrated that in Hong Kong. That was such a messy, yet fun challenge to do. I wonder if I could get into pottery.
Rebecca and Athena make it over to Case de los Munecos as Rebecca wanted to take on this challenge as she reached for a catalog while Haruki and Beth started creating their dolls.
"This should be a pleasant mind exercise for Rebecca. She knows how to handle certain critical thinking tasks under pressure." Athena explained as she stood next to Yoshiro.
"Haruki is like a firecracker. Something you'd expect to be a good idea, but ends up everywhere." Yoshiro added.
"That some serious negative mojo. You really need an inner sanctum to harbor away all of those resentments." Athena stated as she touched Yoshiro's arm.
"All from one comment?" Yoshiro asked.
"Cheers luvs! The clavery is here!" Penny cheered as she and Clara showed up as they read off their clue.
"I'm pretty good with my hands. Plus, Yoshiro isn't busy and you two could make out while I'm working." Clara teased.
"Clara! Stop it!" Penny yelled as she punched her partner's arm.
Yoshiro and Athena were confused at the display as Penny stepped back with them in formation while Clara read through the catalog available.
"Sounds like you two can cause quite the scene." Yoshiro teased as his crush stood next to him.
"Clara is a very like-minded individual. She'll take any opportunity coming to her." Penny explained with a giggle.
Yoshiro stares down at Penny's hand and tries to reach for it as Penny brought her hand up to cover a sneeze as Yoshiro tried hiding his blushing face. Suddenly, he could feel a tickling sensation around his neck and found a prop knife against his skin as he freaked out and turned around finding Rico laughing maniacally.
"Dude, not cool!" Yoshiro exclaimed in anger.
"Didn't you know you can't spell slaughter without laughter?" Rico asked in a very horsey tone trying to mimic the Joker.
"Hehehehehehe…that's a good one, luv." Penny complimented as she high-fived Rico.
"I've had a lot of practice with my Joker impression. Although, people don't think it sounds very good." Rico explained as he scratched back of his head.
"I think Joker has a very dark tone, but childish and uplifting at the same time. It's a bit of a mix of things." Penny stated as she stroked her chin.
"Where's Travis? Did he get eaten?" Yoshiro asked as he looked around for Rico's partner.
"Not necessarily." Rico replied as he snickered a little softer.
Penny, Yoshiro, and Athena's attention were directed to Travis coming into view with what appeared to be a normal box of roses in his hands. They maybe thought he bought them for a crush he has on another female member of a team, but they were proven wrong instantly upon seeing Travis tearing the box open and bringing out a paint gun as he stomped towards them.
"Bro, that was just like in the movies!" Yoshiro exclaimed.
"Bravo!" Penny added as she jumped for joy and clapped her hands.
"Subjects spotted. Preparing termination." Travis declared in an emotionless tone as he smirked.
"It seems we have to build a doll from complete scratch. I hope they have voodoo." Rico hoped, speaking the last part in his Joker voice and waving his knife.
"I really hope they don't." Yoshiro stated.
"Don't worry. Rico ain't no witch and I wouldn't let him keep a voodoo doll even if he created one." Travis promised.
The hour was ticking on by as each of the five participants were trying to create the best doll possible as they used the materials provided. Beth clearly had he better experience as she completed it fairly easily and showed it to the puppeteer. He checked it over and wrote her name off handing over her next clue.
"Way to go, Beth!" Daphne cheered.
The Traveling Friends-Currently in First Place
Beth went over to Lindsay as she adjusted her glasses and ripped open the clue to read over it.
"Proceed to Xochimilco and your next clue is at a docking station." Beth read the Route Info.
Clue #3- Proceed to Xochimilco, Mexico
Summary: Teams must now travel almost three hours towards the city of Xochimilco, just south of Mexico City. Once there, they must find this docking station where they will find their next clue.
Rico was practically done making some incarnation of a voodoo doll with a signature Joker smile on his face. It wasn't of anyone in particular and he showed it off to the puppeteer as his name was wrote off. He was given his next clue before hurrying over to Travis.
The Photographers-Currently in Second Place
Travis and Rico(The Photographers): I really hope you weren't planning on keeping the doll. It's more of a souvenir for me. I know Joker doesn't dabble much with dolls, but it fits his personality and makes me look more deceptive.
Back at Puebla International Airport, the second pair of five teams arrived at around 5:35 PM as they went through immigration to check their passports and went to the baggage claim for their luggage.
"There's ours! Quick!" Avery stated as he grabbed his bag while Travis lugged his off of the carrousel before they ran for the car park.
The Professional Wrestlers- Currently in Sixth Place
Hannah grabbed both bags almost losing her red hood as she giggled before her and Roosevelt ran to get a car.
The Cheerleaders-Currently in Seventh Place
Not far behind is Harvey and Ricky as Ricky grabbed both of their luggage before they booked it to find a car to drive.
The Pyromaniac Party Animals-Currently in Eighth Place
Josh and Brent grabbed their bags as they made sure they had the right bags before running for the exit.
The Goat Farmers-Currently in Ninth Place
Genesis and Dash weren't too far behind as they grabbed both of their bags before she rushed her boyfriend out the door.
"Ironic you dressed up as Edward, but you aren't fast enough to get us up there." Genesis insulted as they found a rental car.
"You wanted this, because you're such a softie for romance movies like Twilight." Dash argued.
Genesis and Dash(The Lovey Dovey): Twilight wasn't that bad of a movie series and anyone that saids otherwise needs a better taste in film. Twilight is such garbage and is just another cheap franchise to sell to hopeless romantics.
The Lovey Dovey-Currently in Tenth Place
Back over at the Puppet House, The Professional Wrestlers started arriving as Travis decided he would be doing the making checking a catalog not too long after they read the clue. The next people to show up were The Cheerleaders and The Pyromaniac Party Animals where Hannah and Ricky decided they would do the Roadblock. Ricky decided to keep his doll simple sticking some wooden sticks together to make a walking stick doll before showing it off. The puppeteer nodded and handed over the next clue.
"Mmmmm, baby, you're teasing me." Harvey moaned under his mask at Hannah bending over slightly unbeknownst to his arousal.
"What happened to the admiration of Tonia?" Ricky asked as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey, the babes here can grow on me and I'm looking up a nice ass now." Harvey stated.
"You're hopeless." Ricky muttered as he dragged his partner away.
The Pyromaniac Party Animals-Currently in Third Place
Rebecca finished her professional looking doll and got the next doll joining up with Athena to read their next task.
"That's two hours from here!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"I'm getting some negative sharaka. I don't think we should go." Athena stated.
"But we have to. That's the next thing in our list and I ain't losing, because of your superstitions." Rebecca retorted as she dragged Athena with her.
The Family Feud-Currently in Fourth Place
The Goat Farmers show up as Brent took on the task paying homage to his costume as he got reading a catalog. Hannah got finished with her doll making a fashion doll and got the next clue as her and her partner ran for the rental car. The Love Dovey came into the picture shortly after as Genesis decided to create a doll.
The Cheerleaders-Currently in Fifth Place
Back at the airport, the last three teams decided to pass through immigration hurrying down to the baggage claim. The clock read 6:15 PM before they got there.
"There is our bags!" Arnold exclaimed as he ran to get them and helped Daisy escorting her through the crowd coming in.
The Cousins-Currently in Eleventh Place
Emma grabbed the bags and Kitty helped her lug them out due to the restraints on Emma's costume as they were running to the exit.
The Sisters-Currently in Twelfth Place
Pollyanna quickly got her and Thorton's bags putting them around her shoulders and carrying Thorton to an exit determined not to be last.
The Beauty and The Beast-Currently in Last Place
Back over at the Puppet House, the team members were still creating their dolls as their partners stood on the side cheering them on.
"I got it! Almost there! Just got attach the arm." Brent stated as he finished his doll and showed it off to the puppeteer.
The puppeteer inspected it and gave the next clue to him as Brent and Josh ran for their rental car to start their long drive.
The Goat Farmers-Currently in Sixth Place
Haruki finished the doll he was working on and got the next clue running with Yoshiro to their rental car as Penny feared that she and Clara could fall behind.
Haruki and Yoshiro(The Twin Blades): I think I shall name my doll Haruki Jr., because he is awesome like poppa. Oh dear lord, no! What? Just jealous you couldn't make a Yoshiro Jr.? No, it's cause of the fact you named that puppet is why I'm cringing so hard. You ain't gonna treat it like your kid, are you?
The Twin Blades-Currently in Seventh Place
The Cousins showed up as Daisy decided to take on the task while Travis finished his doll and shows it off getting the next clue. Travis then tore the head off the puppet and threw it against the wall displaying his serial killer persona while he and Avery ran off.
The Professional Wrestlers-Currently in Eighth Place
The Sisters managed to arrive a bit later as they came out to the box reading their first clue. Emma decided to take on this challenge and she quickly skimmed through a catalog. Genesis quickly finished up her vampire doll and got the next clue ushering Dash through the street to their car.
The Lovey Dovey-Currently in Ninth Place
The Beauty and The Beast arrived last as Clara struggled with the doll she was making as certain parts didn't fit in the right spot and Daisy had trouble deciding what she wanted to create.
Daisy and Arnold(The Cousins): It's always been a flaw that I'm pretty indecisive, but mostly due to my Autism. It's kinda of a curse she has. Dale goes through the same thing and we have to help her along just to keep things going.
Thornton was on the challenge joining the bottom three in making their new doll as he flipped to the first few pages and decided to gather materials.
Thorton and Pollyanna(The Beauty and The Beast): When it comes to absolute creativity, I need no time to murmur or think on the irrelevant details. How do you know you will succeed in your creation? Just my habits. Creating art is just like creating fashion. It's all in the details.
Clara finally finished her doll and showed it off getting the clue finally and joined back up with Penny.
"This stupid thing took me over an hour and a half to make! Bye!" Clara exclaimed as she threw her creation down to break it.
"You really need to learn not to litter, luv." Penny muttered.
"Shut it! Let's get going!" Clara exclaimed as she escorted Penny to their rental car.
The Roommates-Currently in Tenth Place
Being a master of the arts, Emma easily created a George Washington doll and showed it off to get the next clue.
The Sisters-Currently in Eleventh Place
Thorton also easily created a fashionable doll as he showed it off and got the next clue smirking.
"No more being in last!" Thorton cheered as he ran with Pollyanna towards their car.
"Get back here, you 1950's reject!" Arnold exclaimed.
The Beauty and The Beast-Currently in Twelfth Place
It had been a tough day of running around and driving hours upon hours as the teams were getting tired when they stopped for dinner. Don and Phil were at the boat stop waiting for them.
"What's going on here?" Beth asked as she and Lindsay walked up to the hosting duo.
"Well, we figured that a non-elimination holiday special would be a great thing to do. To give you guys a break from traveling the world." Don explained.
"Plus, the first three team arrivals get three bags filled to the brim of all the candies you can stomach. Since you both arrived first, you get the first bag." Phil announced as he handed over an orange pumpkin bag filled with Twix, Three Musketeers, Hersey kisses, Crunch, Dots, Twizzlers, etc.
"Oh my god! Some of my favorite candy is in here!" Lindsay exclaimed.
The Photographers arrived next as they got out confused as to what the hosts were doing here, but they didn't question it getting a free bag of candy. Harvey and Ricky showed up next to get the last bag of candy as Harvey nearly took everything he could find.
"I really hope I don't catch a sugar rush, tonight!" Harvey exclaimed as he dug into his sweets.
"Are you sure you're not just into one right now?" Ricky asked as he started peeling a cover off some candy.
The other teams started arriving as all 13 were soon standing in front of the two hosts as Don and Phil looked at them all.
"This must be a very surprising turn of events for you all noticing us here and not at a pit stop." Don explained.
"Yet you all made the drive here and we can understand that you all are tired after what you have been through. That's why we decided to make this non-elimination so you can enjoy the holiday." Phil stated.
The teams cheered as they either hugged one another, high-fived, kissed, or nodded to each other. Phil cleared his throat to get back the attention.
"When I say enjoy…I mean, enjoy…" Phil stated cryptically.
"Um…okay. Sure!" Hannah exclaimed.
"Are you going somewhere with this, luv?" Penny asked with a confused look.
Suddenly, Haruki got tapped on the shoulder as he turned around and immediately sunk down to the size of a pea seeing interns dressed up as Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Chucky, Pinhead, and Pennywise all holding the signature weapons of the villains.
"Uh…happy Halloween to us." Ricky stated.
Everyone started running around the docking station as Jason swiped with his axe and the murderer playing interns had a fun time running around and chasing after the teams as Don and Phil laughed their heads off high-fiving each other for this prank they created at the beginning of today.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
