On Halloween, monster kids use a spell to dress as humans for the night. Due to a monster kid wanting to stay looking human, all of them might stay human forever unless June gets a protein shake for the private contractor hired by him before midnight.


Tropes:

  • Angry Fist-Shake: Ray Ray does this when he curses the neighborhood dentist for giving him a toothbrush.
    Ray Ray: A toothbrush?! Curse you Dr. Horatio Rosenberg, D.D.S of 42 Maple Drive!
  • Chain of Deals: June has to go through a convoluted series of trades in order to get the protein shake that Vikki Devyne wants in exchange to reverse the spell that’s keeping the monsters as humans.
  • Elvis Impersonator: June dresses as Elvis for Halloween.
  • Failed Attempt at Scaring: June was unimpressed with Ray Ray’s attempt to scare her with a monster costume. He should really know better when dealing with a sister who fights real monsters on a daily basis. At least he was able to scare Jody though.
  • For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Ophelia doesn’t bother with a Halloween costume.
    Ophelia: I’m dressed as: Cooler Than You.
  • Halloween Episode: June tries to get through a night of trick-or-treating with her friends without having to leave to fight monsters.
  • Humans Are Ugly: The monsters think their kids are horribly ugly stuck in their human disguises.
    Monster Mom: Look at my son! He’s hideous!
  • Human Disguise: Apparently, monsters dress up as humans for Halloween.
  • Impact Silhouette: A June-shaped hole is left in the floor when Jordan the Destroyer punches her through it.
  • Incredibly Lame Fun: The monsters have a blast doing boring human things for Halloween like asking people for the time and mailing letters.
  • Man in a Kilt: Well, dog in a kilt. Monroe dresses in traditional Scottish attire for Halloween and has to keep correcting Ray Ray that it’s not a skirt.
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Roger goes as a “werewolf robot Abraham Lincoln on roller skates” for Halloween.
  • Obsessively Organized: Ray Ray, when it comes to his Halloween candy.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: A reference to The Peanuts Halloween Special, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
  • Pro Wrestling Episode: The episode turns into this at the end when the last deal June makes in order for all her other deals to go through is fighting a monster named Jordan the Destroyer.
  • Race Against the Clock: June has to finish her series of trades and get Vikki her protein shake before midnight or else the spell will be too strong to reverse.
  • Skewed Priorities: When Jody thinks she’s about to be attacked by a space alien, she’s more concerned about her future education than the possibility of her losing her life.
    Jody: It’s gonna abduct us and suck our faces off! I’ll never get into Harvard with my face sucked off!
  • Smooth-Talking Talent Agent: Vikki Devyne
  • Squashed Flat: Jordan the Destroyer belly flops onto June and when he gets up, he peels her off of him and she floats to the ground like a piece of paper.
  • Sugar Causes Hyperactivity: Ray Ray after he shovels as much Halloween candy in his face as he can before his mom confiscates the rest.
    Ray Ray: I can’t feel my teeth!
  • Trash Talk: Ray Ray takes great pleasure in trash talking the crowd during June’s wrestling debut.
  • When the Clock Strikes Twelve:
    • The monster kids are supposed to transform out of their human disguises at midnight on Halloween, but this year they’re stuck.
    • The deal June makes with Vikki Devyne also expires at midnight and if June’s not back with her protein shake in time, the spell will be made permanent.
  • You Never Asked: Monroe failed to tell June about Jordan the Destroyer’s weakness because he thought she was dragging out the fight for drama.
