Intros and summaries

Part 1:

Intro: Lightning strikes outside a haunted house before the screen looks at Lumpy's house. Lumpy makes a sandwich and puts it in a lunchbox and goes off to the graveyard for a night shift. At the graveyard, Graves meets Lumpy and gives him his shovel. Later, Lumpy finishes digging a grave and takes a break. When walking around the cemetary, Lumpy notices a grave with the words "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR" on the tombstone. A decomposed head pops out of the grave, causing Lumpy to barf all over the tombstone, spelling out "IX PART: 1" below the carved words.

Summary: Part one of 2021's hour-long nightmare sees Stacy undergoing enough character changes to give you chills. Then black magic is taken to the soccer field as Trixie causes an event scarier than getting a red card. And Icy and his troops learn about a fifth member who got lost and is now thirsty for blood after years of isolation!

Part 2:

Intro: The intro begins with the title "3 Ways of Torturing Tree Friends". Tweets runs a torture chamber. He picks three people to be tortured and they are Decker, Naz and Toothy. Decker is tortured by being sliced by piano wires, Naz is tortured by Tweets holding a nail gun and Toothy is tortured with gas that causes his head to explode. Tweets wonders what to do with the remains before he stuffs them into a giant shredder. The blood comes out the other end and splatters on the wall, forming the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX PART: II".

Summary: History comes to life in a terrifying way as animatronics of historical figures go out of control and take over! Then Giggles grows big enough for the town to see her beauty from anywhere. Then fur will fly when Sorcery turns Crafty's once beautiful fur coat into something that would make anyone's flesh crawl.

Part 3:

Intro: Mystery and Ami visit a mysterious amusement park on Halloween. They ride a rollercoaster which almost kills them both. Then they ride a ferris wheel with spiders on it. And finally they go on a ghost train which is really haunted. One of the axes in the ghost house chops off one of Mystery's ears and one of Ami's thumbs. They soon leave the park, with scars all over. The screen pans upwards on the sign to reveal that the name of the park is the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX PART: III".

Summary: No one will be able to sleep tonight after watching Tweets terrorize a sleepover! Stubbs steals organs and body parts from other HTFs to make himself look more alive. Then Toil creates a copy of Trouble that lands her in a cauldron of hot water.

Part 4:

Intro: On a Halloween night, everyone is trick or treating. Pranky, dressed as a clown, pranks everyone he sees. When he gets to Sorcery's lair, he throws eggs at it. Sorcery appears and the eggs get on his cloak. Angered, Sorcery puts a curse on Pranky. The next day, every practical joke done by Pranky always meant death. The victims were Commy, Catastrophe the crow, Brushy and Fungus. Pranky encounters Sorcery again and pranks him. Just before Sorcery can kill Pranky with a spell, another spell is casted on him, which caused him to disintegrate. The screen pans to the right and sees that Luna has defeated Sorcery. She zaps the center of the screen, causing the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX PART: IV" to pop up.

Summary: Mimi discovers that someone who watches a cursed video on the new video app will die in a week. Don't look it up! Then Cuddles is hired to be the mentor of Lifty and Shifty, who let him give jobs to the others. Finally, Devious converts his lair into a maze filled with booby traps the Penguins and the Spook-E Crew must work together to escape from.

Part 5:

Intro: Patriot enjoys an Autumn break in Moscow, Russia with Boris and Natasha. When hiking through a forest, the three are chased down by an insane logger. They enter a cabin with free bowls of borscht. Boris tries some borscht until the logger breaks in. Boris is then chopped with an axe. His blood splatters on a plaque with the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX" and spells "PART: V" below it.

Summary: In part five, we see the rise of Sniffle-stein. Then Baumey and Treeter learn it's not cool to be sewn together. And Unbreak is possessed with a spirit that makes her break everything... and everyone!

Part 6:

Intro: Tree Town has an annual pumpkin carving contest. The contestants are Cuddles, Toothy, Sniffles, Handy, Pointy, Josh and Brushy. Lumpy, jealous of Sniffles' pumpkin winning, gets a giant pumpkin and carves it. Everyone looks at Lumpy's big pumpkin and are amazed. Cole has just finished carving his pumpkin with his pickaxe and hears a crowd coming. He is soon trampled as people went over to look at Lumpy's pumpkin. Cole lies dead on the ground. The scars on his side spell out "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX" and the remains of his smash pumpkin form "PART: VI".

Summary: Earis starts seeing a clown named Doulson everywhere he goes. Then everyone is at threat of being roadkill as cars and vehicles wage war on the town. And things get even worse as Quacko turns into a monster and leads an army of killer ducks!

Part 7:

Intro: Jack laughs and throws a jack o'lantern at the screen. It turns black before the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX PART: VII" pops up in blood.

Summary: In part seven, Stition hosts a contest similar to 'Squid Game'. Then Toothy switches bodies with Sniffles' robotic assistant and finally Cuddles finds a book that kills anyone if he writes their name in it!

Part 8:

Intro: Electron looks at a sign which is the title "SPECY SPOOKTACULAR IX PART: VIII" and decides to turn it on. It malfunctions and shuts down. Electron goes off screen to fix the electric box and turns on the sign again. Electron watches as it glows before walking away.

Summary: In the final part of 2021's Halloween haunt, Nockie and Fletchy have an unusual day of celebrating the holiday. Then the duckbill-induced carnage continues in the second part of "Release the Quacken" and we end the show with Phyre and Trippy saving bird eggs from a mysterious hooded figure and their masters.
