The "Zelda" plot was done better in Regular Show. Muffy's cemetary plot just amounted to filler and slight suspence, and nothing happens except for Muffy finding the cat and being led to the party. They also put a lot of emphasis on Bailey losing his shoe, but it's never mentioned or shown again. Francine's plot was confusing and could have been cut altogether. Binky's plot was kind of cool, with the Edgar Allen Poe references and riddles, but it ended up being the shortest and they didn't make it as interesting as it could have been.

I don't know why, but they decided to not have Bud wear a costume, which looks weird when everyone else is dressed up. It makes me think they didn't want him in the plot at first but just threw it in for the stupid twist ending.

It was a pretty bad special. I'd rather watch a double-length episode like "Fifteen" or "The Great MacGrady".
