Synopsis

Carrie takes Gumball, Darwin, and Anais to a real haunted house party on Halloween, and they become ghosts.

Plot

SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead (Skip section)

It is Halloween in Elmore, and many of its residents are going trick-or-treating from house to house. At the Wattersons' house, Gumball states his disapproval of Anais' princess costume, arguing that Halloween is meant to be scary. Anais counters by saying cute costumes earn more candy. Darwin meanwhile, is white and shaken out of fear of Halloween. The group moves out, a worried Nicole frantically warning them to be careful and to return by seven o'clock. As the eldest child, Gumball is put in charge of watching over his siblings.

The trio ends up wandering into a cemetery, to which Darwin and Anais do not like. An abandoned, haunted house stands over the distance, which he labels their "destination." Darwin is flabbergasted by Gumball's sense of direction, while Anais questions how much candy they can earn from the house. Gumball reveals his true intentions in full: each year, the house hosts a party for the undead. Carrie warps in to elaborate on the annual festivities and the undead attendees. Darwin, still shaken, voices his objection, but Gumball reminds him of his authority, to Darwin's disdain. Conversely, Anais is enthusiastic about going to the party, but Gumball and Carrie disapprove of her babyish outfit and do not let her go, so Gumball hangs Anais on a tree while they are at the party.

Carrie, Gumball, and Darwin continue on to the house, which appears desolate at first. Carrie warns them not to tell anyone they are alive, and something else that is inaudible. She tries repeating herself so they can hear, but Darwin yells at her to tell them why they are whispering in an empty house. Carrie tells them to drink one, and only one drop of a mysterious potion. Darwin reasons that anything that must be consumed only in minute quantities can be disastrous. Gumball blindsides him by flicking a drop into his mouth, and Darwin instantly goes wide-eyed and stares blankly into the room, causing Gumball to rethink drinking the potion. Darwin, however, forces a drop of the potion into Gumball's mouth, unveiling the party in progress and many undead creatures.

Anais, still dangling the tree, is determined to get into the party. She shakes herself off the branch, only to fall straight into a deep well.

At the party, Carrie, Gumball, and Darwin mingle with the other ghosts. Carrie floats near a bowl filled with a strange substance, which Gumball takes interest in. The bowl contains ectoplasm, the very fiber of ghosts. Despite Carrie's warnings, Gumball immaturely demands for some, and a passing ghost obliges and gives him a glassful. The glass passes through his hand, and their mortality catches the attention of the partygoers. Gumball, thinking quick, attempts to consume a large dose of the potion to turn into a ghost, but Darwin advises against it. After some peer pressure, Darwin yanks the bottle from Gumball's hands and takes a big swig himself. The two of them take turns gulping the potion down until Carrie stops them. Gumball and Darwin both laugh, and are turned into ghosts and lose their physical bodies. Darwin, figuring out he is a ghost, gives Carrie a spontaneous kiss, and the party rages on. Elated by their ghostly appearances, the two hover off towards Elmore to cause their trademark mischief with their newfound capabilities.

Their escapades begin at the gas station, drawing a gruff face on Larry to resemble a criminal on a wanted poster behind him. The Donut Cop arrives and mistakes him for the criminal, threatening him with his Taser and arresting him. They then animate a moose head in the Robinsons' house terrifying both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. Their final prank is to possess Tina. However, controlling a dinosaur's body has proven to be difficult, and Gumball and Darwin instead accidentally make Tina fall on her face. The two depart, sounding off a T-Rex roar beforehand.

Having finally climbed out of the well, Anais rushes to the house and straight for the party. There, two ghosts find Gumball's and Darwin's lifeless bodies and use them as puppets. Anais sees this and looks confused. At the doorstep, she finds Carrie's potion bottle nearby and takes a taste of it, allowing her to see the undead.

Carrie tracks down Gumball and Darwin in time to warn them that if they do not return to their bodies by midnight, they will remain ghosts forever. The three race back to the haunted house, but as they reach the graveyard, a bell tolls to signal the passing of midnight. The ghosts return to their graves, and Gumball is grabbed by a zombie arm, prompting him to scream in terror. An enormous vortex opens up in the floor of the house, swallowing all undead to the afterlife. With renewed vigor granted by his sister's perilous screams, Gumball finds the courage to tear his pants off and run through the graveyard, dodging the army of zombie hands trying to pull him into the underworld. Darwin is caught by one and trips. Carrie fends off the ghosts, allowing Gumball enough room to continue. She helps him up, but before they can do anything else, several more arms spring up to capture them. Darwin is on the verge of getting taken, but Carrie is able to distract the arms long enough for him to run by. The arms attempt to pull her into the underworld, but because Carrie belongs to the mortal realm, they are unsuccessful.

Gumball manages to arrive at the house. To his horror, his sister has turned into the ghost and is one slip away from being confined to the underworld. He takes this moment to apologize dramatically. Anais is both moved by his compassion and annoyed at him for wasting such valuable time. Darwin arrives on the scene and notifies his siblings of their bodies slipping into the vortex. The three make a desperate leap to retrieve their bodies as the portal seals shut behind them.

With the house barren once again, Carrie encourage them to escape, but with the house gone, she begins to mourn for her friends. Miraculously, the gateway opens up and the three are spat back out, returned to their bodies. The gateway reminds them that mortals are forbidden in the underworld before it closes up again. Nicole drives in, enraged that it was past midnight and they were not home yet. As the three try to explain themselves, they discover that they are not in their respective bodies. They assure their mother that Carrie can get them back to normal, only for her to vanish after an awkward silence.

Trivia

• This episode was the show's first official holiday special.
• It is revealed that Carrie can teleport, albeit with low accuracy.
• It is implied that Darwin has had a crush on Carrie for a while, as he gave her a spontaneous kiss as soon as he realized he was able to.
• At midnight, Gumball and Darwin seem to forget that they can fly as ghosts.
• It is strange that Carrie blushed when Darwin kissed her considering the fact that blushing is caused when more blood flows through the cheeks. But Carrie, being a spirit, does not have blood.
• Originally, Darwin was going to be the one to blow their cover by asking for ectoplasm, rather than Gumball. Also, there were multiple deleted scenes, including Richard trick-or-treating at their own house for candy in the beginning, Gumball and Darwin spooking Miss Simian and Principal Brown, and Carrie requesting that Darwin not kiss her ever again.
• Anais is only seen drinking one drop of the potion, allowing her to see the ghosts. However, right as she is nearly taken to the underworld, she has become a ghost. It is possible that she may have drank more of the potion at some point.
• This is the first time an episode name does not have "the" in it, the only other occurrence being "Christmas."
• Despite Gumball and Anais wearing costumes, when they become ghosts they are wearing their normal clothes.
• The scene where Darwin kisses Carrie after him and Gumball became ghosts reappears as Banana Barbara's prophetic painting in "The Oracle."

Continuity

• This is the second time that Carrie gets a major role in an episode. The first time was in "The Ghost."
• Carrie reveals she was born a ghost, which explains why she is able to be seen by normal people. The other ghosts attending the party all actually died.
  • However, this explanation contradicts what she said in "The Ghost" about missing her old body.
    • This may mean Carrie had possessed a body before, and then lost it.
  • Carrie also states that she belongs to "this world," so the other ghosts were not able to send her to the underworld.
• An online game titled Haunted House Prank based on the plot of this episode was released.

Cultural references

• The ghosts may be a reference to the origins of Halloween: the Samhain Festival (pronounced "sow-in"), an ancient Celtic festival of the dead, during which time the souls of the dead were believed to revisit the living.
  • The ghost party may be also a reference to the "Devil's midnight ball" from Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, where "dead sinners" which came to the ball were granted for one night to "get rid of the pains of hell."
• The climax of the episode in which the house is sucked through the vortex seems to be a parody of the final scene in the film Poltergeist.
• The way Gumball and Darwin control Tina is a parody of QWOP.
• Darwin tells Gumball to "Come at me, bro!" at one point, a catchphrase made popular by the show Jersey Shore.
• One of the ghosts' reactions to Gumball and Darwin being mortals is a reference to the alarm call that the body snatchers make in the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
• One of the ghosts at the party is a LaserDisc, poking fun at how it is an obsolete media format.

Goofs/errors

• The wanted poster at the convenience store has the dollar sign on the wrong side of the number (10,000$ instead of $10,000). Though this is acceptable (among other countries) in French-speaking countries (from which many of the show's crew members originate), it is incorrect in America, where the show itself is set.
• Sebastian Hary was responsible as storyboard artist in this episode, but the production team forgot to credit him.
• Despite Gumball taking his pants off on-screen, he is still seen with his pants on afterwards.
• Although they can fly, Gumball and Darwin walk and run back to the house.
• When Gumball and Darwin are drinking more of the half-ghost potion, the potion is infinite despite there clearly being less than a inch left in the drink.

The Watterson House

[Banana Joe and Idaho are dressed up for Halloween and ring the doorbell of the Wattersons]

Richard: Ding dong!

Banana Joe and Idaho: Trick or treat!

[The doorbell is actually part of Richard's disguise, as he is camouflaged to blend in with the front of the house]

Richard: [He opens his eyes, startling the two] Trick!

[Banana Joe and Idaho run away in fear as Richard bursts into laughter, leaving their treats behind]

Richard: What the? [Sadly] No! It's all raisins and granola bars!

[In the Watterson house, Gumball and Anais are seated on the couch; Gumball has a skeleton costume on, while Anais is dressed as a princess]

Gumball: Anais, it's supposed to be Halloween, not "Sugar-Coated Marshmallow Syrup Day".

Anais: Everyone knows cute beats scary when it comes to scoring candy. [Cutely] "Twick or tweat?"

Gumball: Eh, at least Darwin put in some effort.

Darwin: [Pale and shaking] Dude, this isn't a costume. I'm terrified of Halloween!

[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais leave the house]

Nicole: [Worried] And be careful, and be back at seven, okay? Gumball, you're in charge, right?

Gumball: Yeah yeah.

Nicole: [Assuring herself] They'll be fine. They'll be fine.

The Cemetery

[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are walking through a cemetery]

Darwin: Taking a shortcut through a graveyard on Halloween is like wearing a kilt in a hurricane. It's just a bad idea.

Gumball: Relax, we're here.

[Darwin and Anais' jaws drop]

Anais: You know, there's a few places where I wouldn't recommend asking for free candy. Rat poison factories, abandoned hospitals, dimly lit cellars, but top of the list? Creepy graveyard houses.

[A view of the graveyard house is shown; lightning strikes; a wolf howling is heard]

Gumball: [Smugly] We're not here for trick or treating.

Darwin: [Terrified] Then why are we here?

[Carrie appears in the foreground with a flash, her eyes closed]

Carrie: Because on Halloween night, the dark veil that separates the world of the living and the underworld is lifted, and all the spirits come to this desolate house for one–

Gumball: Carrie, we're over here.

[Carrie sighs and reappears in front of them]

Carrie: 'Cause on Halloween night, blah-blah-blah, all the spirits come to this desolate house for one...reason...only–

Gumball: [Loudly] To party!

Darwin: How about we party right here, just the four of us? [He starts dancing] Woo hoo, party, party, party, party. Okay, party's over let's go home. [He turns to leave]

Gumball: Darwin! We've come too far to turn back. We're on the doorstep of the swaggiest party of all time. So come on! What do you say? You with me?

Darwin: [Takes a deep breath] No.

Gumball: Well, you have to because Mom put me in charge.

Darwin: [Angrily yells] Darn!

Anais: This party's gonna be awesome!

Carrie: I'm sorry, but this party isn't for babies disguised as cheesecakes.

Gumball: Yeah, she's right. You'd be cramping our style. [He picks up Anais and snags the back of her dress on a tree branch] You're just gonna have to hang out here.

Anais: [Sighs] Well, at least it can't get any worse.

[A bolt of lightning is followed by rain and thunder. Anais crosses her arms in frustration]

Haunted House

[Gumball, Darwin and Carrie enter the large gloomy house]

Carrie: [Whispers] Okay, if anyone asks, don't tell them you're alive.

Darwin: [Whispers] Tell who?

Carrie: [Whispers] You're going to have to make sure that you never let anyone know– [Her voice becomes inaudible]

Gumball: [Whispers] Uh, sorry, you were a little too quiet on the second part.

Carrie: [Whispers] Oh. Well what I said was you're going to have to make sure you never– [Her voice fades again]

Gumball: [Whispers angrily] Are you doing this on purpose? 'Cause it's kind of annoying.

Carrie: [Whispers] I said you're going to have to–

Darwin: [Shouting] Just tell us already! Why, are we whispering, in an empty house?!

Carrie: Oh just drink some of this potion and you'll see. [ A vial of green liquid appears; it hovers above Carrie's hand] It'll make you part ghost. But no more than a drop, understand?

[Gumball accepts the vial]

Darwin: What are you doing? You're too young to be drinking mysterious potions.

Gumball: Oh don't be a square. What's the worst that can happen? [He uncorks the vial, releasing a ghostly face which flies off-screen] Um, are you sure we're going to be okay?

Carrie: As long as you only have one drop.

Darwin: See, that's the thing. Anything you can only have one drop of can't be good. They don't sell milk by the drop, do they? They sell it by the GALLON! Look at water; that's good for you, which is why it comes out of the FAUCET!

[Gumball flings a drop of the potion into Darwin's mouth, causing his pupils to dilate unnaturally]

Darwin: Ohhh...

Gumball: [Skeptical] I think I might give this potion a miss.

Darwin: I'm not going through this alone!

[Darwin forces Gumball's mouth open, and pours in a drop of the potion; Gumball gasps, his pupils dilating as well; a multitude of ghosts appear]

Ghost Party!

Gumball and Darwin: Awesome!

Ghosts: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!

[One of the ghosts is headbanging to the music and accidentally flings its brain into a punch bowl on the table; the drink splashes a comatose, apple-shaped ghost]

Ghost with a hoodie: Dude, I think you had a little too much fun.

Worm inside the apple: No, he's always like that.

[A muddy ghost bumps into a female ghost who is holding a cup, causing her to spill the drink on her shirt]

Female ghost: Hey, you got ectoplasm all over my top!

[It is shown that the female ghost has no body below her torso]

Muddy ghost: Well, it would have been hard to get it on your bottom.

[The male ghost laughs until the female's disembodied legs kick him from behind. Elsewhere, a pixelated ghost is knocking on a door]

Pixelated ghost: Yo, you done yet?

[The pixelated ghost looks into the room, making the occupant scream. The pixelated ghost is slapped. A headless ghost that has bubbles coming out of a hole on its neck is conversing with a female ghost sitting on its lap]

Female ghost: You've got such a way with words.

[Gumball and Darwin glare at Carrie]

Carrie: What?

Gumball: Well, how come we can see you everyday, but we have to take a potion to see them?

Carrie: Duh! Because I was born a ghost. Come on, let's go meet some people. [She floats away]

Darwin: How does that work?

Gumball: [Mimicking Carrie] Duh! ...I don't know, actually.

[They move to join the party and the doors close behind them. Outside, Anais is struggling to get off the branch]

Anais: I'm! so! going! to! get! into! that! partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Anais' dress rips and she falls into a well beneath her; she screams for an extended period of time before finally landing in water]

Anais: Dagnabbit!

Ghosts Now

[Several ghosts greet Carrie as she floats by]

Carrie: Hi, guys.

Gumball: [To a ghost he passes by] Hey. [To Carrie, as he points at the punch bowl] What's that stuff?

Carrie: Duh! It's ectoplasm. It's what ghosts are made of.

Gumball: [In a strange voice] I want some.

Carrie: Well, you can't.

Gumball: [Loudly] I want some ectoplasm!

Carrie: [Shushes him] You can't drink it!

Nearby ghost: Chill out dude, there's plenty to go around.

[Ghost leans over to hand a cup to Gumball]

Carrie: No! No, don't!

[The cup goes through Gumball's hand and vanishes into the floor. The music suddenly stops as the ghosts turn to stare at them]

Ghost: Mortals!

Gumball: Hey, d-don't worry man, I got the solution right here. [He takes the potion from Darwin]

Darwin: What are you doing? Carrie said no more than a drop!

Gumball: What's the problem? Too square?

[Gumball and Darwin take turns drinking from the vial]

Carrie: What are you doing?!

Gumball: Gimme that!

Carrie: Stop it al-

Darwin: Gimme! Gimme it!

Carrie: S-Stop! [She wrestles the potion away] Are you insane?!

[Gumball and Darwin begin laughing, but stop when they turn into ghosts; their bodies collapse on the ground]

Carrie: Look what you've done! You've completely turned into ghosts!

Darwin: Which means I can finally do this!

[Darwin kisses Carrie, who blushes, and the party starts back up]

Ghosts: OHHHHH!

Gumball: Dude! I can fly, I'm invisible! I feel awesome!

Darwin: You wanna go dancing?

Gumball: Dancing? We're ghosts, dude! We can do whatever we like!

Darwin: Let's get out of here and go NUTS!

[Gumball and Darwin fly out through the window and go to a gas station where Larry is asleep at the counter. They draw on his face until the Sheriff comes in]

Donut Cop: Hello Larry.

Larry: [Larry wakes up] What can I do for you? [He turns to the Sheriff, his face now matching the mugshot on a wanted poster behind him]

Donut Cop: [Holds up a taser] You can put your hands in the air!

[Gumball and Darwin go to the Robinsons' house and posses a moose head mounted to the wall]

Stuffed moose head: Hey, Margaret.

[It puckers its lips up and Mrs. Robinson drops the tray she was carrying, breaking the teacups. Mr. Robinson appears]

Gaylord: What is going on?

Stuffed moose head: Nothing.

[Mr. Robinson faints and Gumball and Darwin leave]

Tina: [To Idaho and Banana Joe] Trick or treat! That means give me your candy.

Gumball: [Gasps] You know what'd be fun? Being a T-Rex.

Darwin: You take left, I'll take right.

[They posses Tina, but have difficulty moving]

Gumball: Dude, it's way more complicated than it looks.

Darwin: Move the calves!

Gumball: Yeah well, bend the knees man!

Darwin: I am, I am!

[Tina begins to fall over]

Gumball: Put the hands out, put the hands out!

[Tina falls face first into the sidewalk]

Darwin: Come on, let's bail!

Gumball: W-W-Wait, I gotta do a roar before we go.

[Tina roars, and then Gumball and Darwin leave]

Banana Joe: Should we call a doctor, a vet, or a paleontologist?

Midnight

[Back at the cemetery, Anais manages to climb out of the well. At the party, the headless ghost tries to touch the hand of the female ghost who was on his lap earlier, but she rejects him]

Female ghost: No! You broke my heart.

[The headless ghost removes the heart from his body and offers it to her]

Female ghost: Oh! You're so romantic! I wish I knew where to kiss you.

[A ghost with a basketball for a head is holding Gumball's body]

Basketball head ghost: Hey! I found myself a couple of meat bags!

Ghost: [Carrying Darwin's body] Fancy a dance?

Anais: [Approaching a boarded up window] Guys! I'm here, let me in.

[Anais sees Gumball and Darwin's bodies dancing and slapping each other]

Anais: What the? Okay...

[Anais goes into the house and sees the discarded vial on the ground]

Anais: Huh? What have you been drinking? [She has a taste of the potion, allowing her to see the party]

[Meanwhile, Gumball and Darwin are standing on a rooftop under a full moon]

Gumball: Dude, are you sure about this? 'Cause I don't think it's a good idea.

Darwin: Come at me bro! Gimme your best shot! I'm an immortal ghost, I'm not going to feel anything.

Gumball: Alright, you asked for it.

[Gumball punches him and he spins around before falling down]

Darwin: [Face down on the shingles, his speech is muffled] I forgot you were a ghost too.

[Carrie appears]

Carrie: There you are!

Gumball: No, we're over here!

[Carrie sighs and teleports to them]

Carrie: What are you thinking? It's nearly midnight!

Darwin: Pfft, so what?

Carrie: So if you don't get back to your bodies by the stroke of midnight, you'll remain ghosts forever.

[Gumball screams, and then a tolling bell is heard]

Gumball: Let me rephrase that. [He screams louder]

Ghost voice: All ghosts must return to the graves at midnight.

[The ghosts from the party are returning to the cemetery]

Darwin: We need to find our bodies!

Gumball: And Anais!

Carrie: Wait! That was the twelfth stroke...

[They look around and a hand comes out of the ground, grabbing Gumball's leg and making him scream]

Darwin: Does it hurt?!

Gumball: No, but it's really cold and wet and its fingernails are dirty!

[Anais is heard screaming in the distance]

Anais: Help!

[The haunted house begins to crumble, with eerie light emanating from the cracks]

Gumball: [Shouting] Anais! Don't worry sis, I'm coming! [Struggles for freedom] Carrie, cover your eyes!

Carrie: You do realize I can see through my hands, right?

Gumball: Oh whatever! [He takes off his pants, and the three of them run for the house] I'll get Anais, you find our bodies!

[More ghost hands rise from the ground and they dodge them, but Darwin trips over a grave marker]

Darwin: Help!

Carrie: I'll handle this. [She helps Darwin up]

Darwin: Thanks.

[More ghost hands rise from the ground]

Darwin: AHH!

Carrie: It's a little too early to thank me. Get ready to run.

Darwin: What are you doing?!

[Carrie allows some ghost hands to pull her down]

Darwin: Carrie!

Carrie: Don't worry, I belong to this world. They can't take me- [A ghost hand tugs her fringe] AH! Not the hair! [To Darwin] Just go!

[Darwin runs off, but a ghost hand stops him]

Ghost: All ghosts must return to their gr–

[Darwin blows a raspberry into the hand and gets away while it is wiping off the spit. Gumball throws open the doors to the house]

Anais: Over here!

Gumball: Anais!

[Gumball rushes to Anais, who is now a ghost and being pulled down into a hole in the floor]

Gumball: I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I'm your big brother and I should have looked after you and I love you so much!

Anais: That's really touching Gumball. BUT I'M KINDA BEING DRAGGED UNDERGROUND BY A CREEPY GHOST HAND RIGHT NOW!

Darwin: Gumball! Our bodies! [He points to their bodies getting pulled into the hole]

Gumball: We've got no choice! We're gonna have to jump and get them back, okay?!

Darwin: Okay!

[They dive into the swirling green portal. Outside, Carrie is yelling into the hole as it collapses in on itself]

Carrie: [Distressed] Come on guys, you can do it! Come on! Come on!

[The hole gets smaller and closes up entirely]

Carrie: No! No-no-no! No! Noo! [She covers her eyes in grief]

[Carrie is left alone, until the ground starts trembling; Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are ejected from the hole that opens]

Ghost voice: No mortals allowed in the underworld.

[The hole closes, then reopens for a split second, spitting Gumball's pants back out]

Carrie, Gumball, Darwin, and Anais: [Relieved] Phew.

[Squealing tires are heard, and Nicole appears in Cartax. It crashes into a tombstone before stopping. Nicole gets out of the car, slamming the door hard enough to shatter its window]

Nicole: Words cannot describe how furious I am! It's gone midnight! What have you got to say for yourselves?!

Darwin: [In Anais' body] We went trick or treating and then we took a shortcut.

Gumball: [In Darwin's body] We went to a ghost party and it was supposed to be fun.

Anais: [In Gumball's body] I didn't know what the potion was gonna do when I drank it!

[Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Carrie suddenly realize something is wrong]

Gumball: [In Darwin's body] What's–

Darwin: [In Anais' body] Going on–

Anais: [In Gumball's body] Here?

Nicole: What happened to you?

Gumball: [In Darwin's body] Mom, don't freak out. Carrie can put us all back in our correct bodies. Right Carrie?

Carrie: Um... [Carrie grins nervously, and then teleports away, much to Gumball, Darwin and Anais' shock]
