Log Cabin Fever
A Mid-Autumn Night's Scream
The babies spend Halloween trick-or-treating, facing their fears, and competing in a costume contest. They’re even joined by some unexpected visitors.
Tropes:
- Bait-and-Switch: Mr. Mumbly is a grumpy-looking man that owns the creepy Hilltop Manor house. When Sylvester braves his scary yard and rings his doorbell to trick-or-treat, it looks like Mr. Mumbly is going to yell at him. However, he ends up being a kind old man that’s happy to have a trick-or-treater for once.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Floyd asks the audience twice who the three “kids” dressed as martians that keep following them around are.
- Cheap Costume: Since Floyd couldn’t find the Super Sunshine Girls costumes that Lola, Melissa, and Petunia wanted, Granny had to make them costumes from supplies around the house and they went as a tornado, a picnic, and a laundry basket respectively.
