Spooky Swings

[A digital alarm clock displays September 30th, then changes to October 1st with a bell chime. Skid’s chair creaks as he turns around.]
Skid: It is the spooky month!
[Skid throws his phone at the wall to call Pump.]
Skid: Ay!
Pump: Ay! I sent you something.
[Skid looks at his phone and sees a skeleton doing the Spooky Dance. Suddenly, Ooga Booga jumps out as a screamer.]
Ooga Booga: Ooga booga!
[Skid remains unfazed.]

[Skid sees his mother, Lila, held at knifepoint by Bob Velseb.]
Lila: Son, don’t come here. Call 911, son. Call 911.
Skid: But mom, it’s the spooky month!
[Lila realizes Skid is right and gives Bob a piece of candy. Bob does the Spooky Dance. Lila secretly calls the police, leading to Bob’s arrest while she does the Spooky Dance.]

Skid: Grandma, it’s a spooky month!
[Grandma’s skeleton emerges; she dances the Spooky Dance. Ooga Booga is visible in a window, with tombstones labeled “RIP Hopes and Dreams” and “RIP Reepo Pepino.”]
