Go Trick or Treating for Halloween

Go Trick or Treating for Halloween is the 7th episode of Alphabet Lore Adventures. It was released on October 25, 2022.

Plot/Summary:
The film opens with the original song "Trick or Treat" playing, as W is shown flying around town on her broomstick (named "R"). She comes across T, Y, and I trick-or-treating, dressed as a vampire, a witch, and a ghost, respectively. W looks on as the trio go to their Uncle F's house and ring the doorbell. F, seeing them through the window, decides to prank the letters. So instead of giving them candy, he puts firecrackers into their bags. The letters initially believe F is giving him candy, but they turn out to be the firecrackers, and after they explode, F pulls a string which tips a bucket of water on the letters, soaking them. F laughs uproariously, but W decides to get even.

W consoles the three, and, delighted to discover that they believe in witches, agrees to help them get their candy from F. She goes to the door for them and tells them that it'll be a piece of cake, but F refuses to believe W is a real witch. He tries to pull her nose off and again dumps the bucket of water on her. He again laughs hysterically and slams the door. W decides getting the candy from F may be harder than she realizes, so she turns to her magic.

Back at W's home, she concocts a magic potion in large black cauldron. In a scene paying homage to William Shakespeare's MacBeth, W adds ingredients to the pot, although they are somewhat toned down from Shakespeare, such as "Eye of needle, tongue of shoe, hand of clock that points at two!" etc. When the potion is finished, she fills a spray bottle with it and flies back to F's house with the letters.

As W sprays various items around F's house, they become animated or anthropomorphic. F is terrified and instantly agrees to treat the letters to candy. However, when W refers to him as a pushover, he takes umbrage and changes his mind, locking the pantry door and swallowing the key. Having been "itching" to put a spell on F, W uses the potion to put F's feet in her control. She orders the feet to kick the key out of F, which leads him to perform a wild dance. The key is retrieved, but F throws it into the pantry, under the door. Enraged, W then casts "a spell that's double-grim!" saying that she will order F's feet to "smash that door down" with F. This is initially unsuccessful, so she advises that F "take a longer start. About a mile or two!" F is forced to run a long way away, then come steaming back, screaming, into the door, which shatters.

In the end, T, Y, and I collect their treats and W and R leave since it is "nearly dawn". After waving goodbye to the letters, W flies away whilst the Trick or Treat song is reprised over the top. A final shot has a jack-o-lantern seen earlier in the film suddenly appear saying "Boo!" and then grinning.
