Vlad: ... for all us spooks and monsters to rise, and roam the earth!
Chuck: Vlad! That’s against the rules! You can’t take her question!
Vlad: Puny mortal … I can do what I like!

Vlad: Ah, man …
Chuck: Sally?
Sally: Halloween: a holiday celebrated every year on October 31st, when it’s believed that ghosts, ghouls and goblins are able to walk freely among the living.
Chuck: Word two: ‘Ghouls’ Ginger.
Ginger: Ghouls are …
Vlad: … Evil spirits! They rob graves and feed on the dead!
Chuck: Vlad, stop it!! Two more points to you, Ginger
Vlad: That’s so unfair!
Chuck: Sally?
Sally: Traditionally people wear scary costumes, to trick the ghouls into thinking they’re ghosts too! Other traditions include telling scary stories, carving creepy pumpkins, and Trick-or-Treating!
Chuck: Word three: ‘Trick-or-Treating’ Vlad.
Vlad: Give me points, or I’ll suck your blood!
Chuck: Wrong answer Vlad …
Vlad: That’s it! Back to Transylvania!
(Vlad turns into a bat and flies away)

Ginger: Trick-or-Treating? Sure! Kids get candy for dressing up all scary and stuff
Chuck: Correct! Ginger’s our winner with a stunning 5 points!
Sally: Have a happy Halloween everybody!
