* AllForNothing: The main plot of the episode involves the Eds following a map Eddy received from his brother to a town called Spook-E-Ville, where they will get tons of candy at every house. They follow all the clues, with Ed beating up all the kids along the way due to his out-of-control imagination, and eventually arrive at Spook-E-Ville. Eddy and Double D quickly find out though that Spook-E-Ville is not real and they just went in a huge circle that led them back to the Cul-de-Sac. Not only did they waste a good portion of their Halloween night with this pointless quest, Ed angered all the kids into attacking ''Edd and Eddy'' and the Eds don't get to do any trick or treating at all.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ed.

to:

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ed.Ed, well known as the dumbest character in the show, easily beats up every kid he comes across due to being motivated by fear and seeing them each as a real monster.



* IWantMyMommy: When Ed accidentally [[EyeScream stabs Rolf in the eye]] with his spatula, Rolf cries out to his mama, saying he needs a bandage. Ed, who saw Rolf as a giant troll, grabs his friends and says they must hurry before "the troll's" mother comes.



* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The "HeadlessHorseman" is the only monster Ed tries to run away from, insisting that it is too strong to fight. Though he does stay behind long enough to CatchAndReturn one of his "pumpkin heads" at him and [[SpareAMessenger tells him to deliver a message]] to the "witches".



* NeverMyFault: While most of the kids were innocent victims who'd done nothing to warrant Ed's wrath, '''Kevin''' is not among them--he genuinely attacked the Eds ForTheEvulz, thus he got what was coming to him when Ed's imagination kicked into high gear. Yet, during the climax, he has the nerve to see himself as the victim.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Ed, to the extreme. He believes he and his friends are being hunted down by several Halloween horror monsters, when really it is all just his imagination running wild due to watching an overload of Halloween movies.

* BittersweetEnding: More bitter than sweet. Eddy and Edd realize that the former's brother had duped him with a fake map to a town that doesn't even exist, and the two Eds get beaten up by the neighborhood kids--but they don't pound Ed, who's the only one with a happy ending.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Edd looks at the horror movies in Ed's room, three of which are each about Medusa, the Headless Horseman, and witches. Ed's hallucinations of these characters are of Nazz (Medusa), Kevin (Headless Horseman), and the Kankers (witches).

Added DiffLines:

* DiabolusExMachina: There's no explanation as to how Ed suddenly had a hallucination of Edd and Eddy rolling happily around the raining flowers other than to have the special [[DownerEnding end with Edd and Eddy getting their asses handed to them by the other kids]] considering that Ed's hallucinations were [[GRatedDrug due to his overdose of watching too many monster movies]], and he has never watched any movie that involved raining flowers.
