==Synopsis==
The short begins with Patrick on the couch, watching TV. He switches between channels, until he sees Dr. Plankenstein, SpongeMonster, and Pat-gor. SpongeMonster is shown carving a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. He says it now only needs a candle. Pat-gor eats all of the candles and mistakes Dr. Plankenstein for one. Pat-gor sets Dr. Plankenstein up to a machine, causing him to get electrocuted and flung into the jack-o-lantern, lighting it up. Pat-gor claims the screaming makes it easier for the lighting to happen.
