Here now is the first part of the script for the new Halloween toon I have thought up. It's called Freakin' Halloween, based on the movie "Freaky Friday", as well as the Powerpuff Girls episode, "Criss Cross Crisis", with a bit of "The Blob" thrown in as well. As mentioned before, these are the costumes that the characters are wearing here:
 as Pee-wee Herman
 as Judge Doom
 as Figment
 as Babs Johnson
 as Klaus Meine
 as Silent Bob
 as Sandra Clark
 as Ali G
 as Fred G. Sanford
 as Mayor McCheese
 as Arsene Lupin, III
 as Gomer Pyle
And a special guest appearance by...
 as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
NOTE: I use the following notation to deal with characters in other people’s bodies. When two names are separated by a slash, the first indicates the speaking voice, while the second tells whose body is being used. For example, “ / ” means that Strong Bad is speaking while in Homestar’s body. Also, I would like help whenever possible.
(The toon starts. The sky is orange as the sun is setting before finally turning dark in night. Crickets are heard chirping. Cut to a silhouetted long shot of Bubs' Concession Stand, with a tall transmitter tower somehow set up behind it. Ratcheting sounds as well as Bubs grunting off-screen can be heard.)
(off-screen; stops ratcheting) There! Now let's give it a shot! And here-a I-a go-a!
(Foreboding music (sounding exactly like that from "Jibblies 2") plays in the background, as the tower suddenly shakes and rattles violently; the camera then vibrates, too. A low rumble begins, then grows, followed by a flash of white light that fills the screen. Then the shaking and rumbling stops. Then the sky flashes a different color once and, as the music intensifies, an energy field radiates outward from the transmitter, while the toon title, "Freakin' Halloween", is displayed. The waves pass over the House of the Brothers Strong, which shakes briefly afterward, accompanied by a crashing sound (the credits read, "Yet another Halloween-y toon"). The same happens at the following locations, each accompanied by another piece of the credits: Homestar Runner's house ("By the exact same people"), Marzipan's house ("who always made these toons"), The Cheat's grill ("in case you don't know"), Coach Z's locker room ("which you should by now.") and the King of Town's castle ("Here-sa it-sa go-sa!"). Cut to a long shot of most of the Free Country area, with the energy field radiating over the entire view, still to the foreboding music from "Jibblies 2". After a few seconds, the emissions stop and the screen shakes with a crashing sound. The music dies down. Long silence.)
(from inside concession stand) Aw, crap! Now what's up?!
(Footsteps are heard as he leaves the concession stand, but before he can be seen leaving, the camera cuts to the front door of the House of the Bros. Strong. Footsteps are heard approaching the door, on which someone knocks.)
(off-screen) Hey, Strong Bad!
(off-screen; mumbling) Jungle... Strike... (mumbles again before gets up. He is then heard approaching the door) Hang on, Bubs, I'll be right there!
(Strong Bad reaches the door. Cut to the opposite side of the door, where Bubs is apparently waiting. The door opens and the camera then swivels over to the door knocker. But it is not Bubs - it's Coach Z, already in his Halloween costume. However, the voice is Bubs'.)
/ Strong Bad, I need to speak to you!
What do you...
(Suddenly, Bubs gasps in shock and then stammers as the camera cuts to his perspective - looking toward Homestar Runner in his costume, who speaks in Strong Bad's voice.)
/ What! What are you staring at?
/ (stifling laughter) Go look in the mirror!
(Strong Bad does just that. He goes to a bathroom mirror. When he realizes what has happened, he gasps and then screams his head off. He then races back toward the front door.)
/ What the crap's happened to me!! I did not plan to dress up as one of the lame, armless characters for Halloween!
/ (trying to hold back laughter) Now calm down, Strong Bad. There's a perfectly rational explanation for this.
...and this is as far as I will go for now. Anything you can do now to help with this script would be greatly appreciated.
