In a special double-length Halloween episode, Charlie wakes up from a nice nap (in an abandoned graveyard) and regales the viewers with four spooky stories. First, the Bears have an encounter with a horde of zombie animals. Next, the Baby Bears spend the night in a haunted house full of spooky monsters. Third, Chloe's attempt to watch free movies on the Internet summons a literal Internet troll who torments her and the Bears. And finally, Charlie's encounter with an abandoned arcade machine leads to a series of ill thought-out wishes.
