Plot[]

Opening[]

The episode starts with Muscle Man, High-Five Ghost, Thomas, and Johnny Skydiver launching pumpkins with a catapult.  In the house, Eileen talks to a broom and Audrey takes a picture of Quips while everyone else's mingles. Moments later, Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost come into Benson's office where Benson tells them (and everyone else, already inside) about the wishing machine.  Everyone looks disinterested, but Benson insists that they stay and that he would not let his deposit go to waste; to demonstrate, Benson wishes that he could motivate Mordecai and Rigby at work. Racki the Wishmaker then says, "A hard worker is all you desire, so to their backside let us add some fire." Racki's and Benson's eyes glow red while he laughs maniacally, and the first story begins.  

Mr. Boss Man (Benson's Wish)[]

Mordecai and Rigby are seen sitting on the couch watching TV. There is an advertisement for a "Salad Guillotine" (Off with your head... of lettuce!) that Mordecai and Rigby suddenly want. Benson comes in and makes Mordecai and Rigby do their work. Suddenly, another commercial airs where the same person from the previous ad is advertising a puppet named "Mr. Boss Man." The phone number is shown after Benson tells the TV to show it, and he calls in to order a puppet. Throughout the story, every time the duo is caught slacking and Benson uses Mr. Boss Man to tell them to get back to work, they feel creeped out, and he always insists it's not him telling them, but the puppet. At one point, Mr. Boss Man insults Mordecai about relationships and Rigby about his stuttering (when he tries to stand up for him). As Benson walks away, saying he is a good boss, the puppet turns to look at him... uh oh. Later on, while Benson is asleep, MBM keeps telling him how to sleep and he complies until he is told to pack up and never come back. Now Benson is awake and sees MBM fall onto the floor. Annoyed, he goes over to pick him up, only to have him turn his head 180° and yells "THIS IS MY HOUSE NOW!", causing Benson to scream and throw him against the wall. Then MBM says that Benson doesn't need this job because he was the one motivating the workers and he had to support his family (who are standing at the window). MBM's head spins wildly as Benson runs away, trying to crack his head between the door which doesn't work fully. Eventually, Benson makes it to the house and runs in on Mordecai and Rigby using the guillotine and yells that he's trying to kill him. Right after that, the puppet launches himself through the glass of the window and onto Benson, who screams, "Get this dummy off of me!" The duo try kicking him off which doesn't work, so they suggest using the guillotine. Benson launches MBM right into the opening, and the puppet screams they don't have the guts (or chimichangas, to be specific) to drop the blade, being proven wrong when Benson walks over and does it himself. The head is still talking about escape while Benson compliments the duo on their quick thinking and smarts, which, funny enough, was the scary part of the story for him.

Interlude 1[]

Benson snaps back to it, saying "I'd never say something like that!" when his eyes are normal again. Mordecai asks him what happened and he explains what happened and wants to stop but pops steps up and makes his wish to travel.

Werepops (Pops's Wish)[]

The park gang is seen in a courthouse on Halloween for jury duty and they are trying a werewolf for murder. He tries to convince them he’s innocent, but they have evidence he murdered. Pops asks to use the restroom to which the judge grants him permission. John asks as well and gets permission as well. The judge and a guard wonder if that was a good idea. John asks for toilet paper and uses the whole roll to pops horror and then attacks him and escapes to go to London. The guard enters and sees pops has turned into a werewolf. He tries to explain but the guard uses a whistle causing pops to run into a wall and fall unconscious. When he comes to, he sees he’s been turned into a werewolf and has been framed. Pops explained to his friends of what happened and while they believe him, they still wish to arrest him to have fun with it. He attacks a guard and escapes, but the people turn into an angry mob and chase him. He arrives at the airport. He escapes the mob by entering a plane and sees it's the same one John is on. They show no hard feelings towards each other, and the passengers are revealed to be werewolves.

Interlude 2[]

Pops happily dances after returning to reality. Mordecai asks if Racki is scary or lame to which the machine says he’s scary. Hi Five Ghost then decides to make his wish albeit reluctantly and Benson says go ahead. Fives says anyone can go but Rigby insists. He wishes to meet up with Celia.

Going Up (Fives's Wish)[]

Fives is seen outside the apartment complex Celia lives in with a bouquet of flowers in hand. He refuses to take the steps when he sees the address is on the 36th floor so he decides to take the elevator. He encounters a repairman adding the finishing touches on the elevator and tells fives he just finished after the ghost asks. He tells them to have fun and fives tells his plan as the door closes. Suddenly the elevator stops but while scared he doesn’t panic and sees the intercom and asks for help. The repairman asks if he wants to listen to music and fives says yes but the music is creepy. Fives asks to change it. It becomes romantic and Fives asks to turn it off but no answer. Fives starts to worry when the repairman says sorry as the smooth jazz was loud and says it should be working but it suddenly gets out of control. The flowers get damaged, but he makes it to his destination and the repairman once again says sorry for pressing the wrong button. He tells him to have fun. He encounters Celia and gives her the flowers, but she is happy despite being wrecked. She asks who he was talking to. He says he was chatting with the repairman man and recommends getting his email. Celia tells him he died 40 years prior. They joke until he remembers the elevator. They check and see the repairman reveal his ghostly true self scaring fives and he grabs him, much to the couple's horror as the elevator crashes killing both fives and the undead repairman.

Interlude 3[]

Fives is seen panicking as Muscle Man runs over and snaps him out. Fives says it felt real. Benson believes they had enough for one evening, but Rigby decides to make his wish saying he was popular and Racki agrees but says this is one for all to see and pulls everyone in.

Chocolatude (Rigby's Wish)[]

We see Mordecai and Rigby trick or treating and everyone loves Rigby’s costume. Soon some teenagers arrive and tease him causing the two to realize the costume wasn’t done yet. They also mock Mordecai but Rigby defends him by saying it’s cold. The teens tell them to get some candy from the creepy house. They reluctantly do so, and Rigby scares Mordecai and they get some which impresses the teenagers. Soon the door starts opening and the teenagers back slowly. Mordecai and Rigby laugh unaware that two green hands reaching out. The teenagers run as the hands grab them. The hands are revealed to belong to a woman dressed as a witch. She interrogates them saying the thought they could take more candy. The nervously try to answer but she gives them chocolate shaped like body parts. They start eating some and she jokes a bit. The compliment her chocolate and she explains that its homemade. She activates a machine. They get scared and stop eating when they see Mordecai is turning into chocolate thus revealing that the woman actually is a witch. The witch tosses Mordecai into her machine which starts pulling him in. Rigby tries to save him but pulls a chocolate leg. He tries to escape but starts turning to chocolate. Everyone starts eating him even the teenagers join in, and he smiles after they call him the greatest. Rigby’s chocolate form smiles at getting his wish.

Closing[]

When reality comes back, everyone is horrified and Rigby states he didn't intend for. The staff agrees that Racki is scary. They soon find him gone and see him trying to escape and see he stole their stuff. His fellow wishmakers tell him to hurry to the van, as they are reveal to be a thieving crew. He sees the gang chase him and he decides to use a catapult to escape but it backfires and he breaks. The fortune telling machines drive off in horror. The park staff joke about it but Racki gets the last laugh because he says Benson won’t get his deposit back. Benson screams and suddenly reveals he’s actually in a store before he rented him. An employee walks up and asks how his wish went. Benson says it was terrible and unsurprisingly refuses to rent it for fear of not getting his deposit back. He then decides to get the streamers. The employee angrily tells Racki no one will rent him if all he does is scare customers. He suggests the worker should be fired but is interrupted by being unplugged with the man calling him a dumb rapping robot.
