A nighttime Halloween scene. A small child with wild orange curly hair, holding a jack-o'-lantern candy bucket, stands on a walkway and confronts an elderly woman in a long red robe who holds a bowl of candy in her doorway. The child says, "I know what you did. I know about the 'accident.' Trick or treat." The caption reads: "The odds were low, but if it worked, the payoff would be legendary" — the joke being the kid is blackmailing a stranger on the off chance it lands a bigger haul. Votey: a close-up of the old woman's sinister smiling face as she replies, "Step into my parlor, dearie," implying the gamble has backfired and she is the dangerous one.
