{Cut to The King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs.}

COACH Z: Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guy-

{The cartoon pauses with a blue bar appearing in the upper-left. It reads "New DLC is available for this cartoon!"}

{The bar then reads "Downloading "2022 Costume Pack"", as a white line appears to download the pack.}

{The pack finishes downloading. The bar reads "DLC downloaded!"}

{The bar then reads "The cartoon will now restart.}"

{Cut to The King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs, who now are wearing different costumes.}

COACH Z: Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene. His costume gushes blood and his voice has a reverb.}

HOMESTAR: Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guys. {rapping; Coach Z dances} Ahh, it's Coach Z to rock around, to rock around on time ah yeah, it's Coach Z!

{Switch to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}

STRONG BAD: ...you know, I think it turned out pretty good. I mean Mom helped me do the boots {gestures to hat}, and I did the sewing—

{Homestar walks by.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, lookin' good, Strong Bad. Death Clock or whoever, that's great!

STRONG BAD: Oooh, Death Clock ih- d—?! {shouting} For the last time, I'm some freakin' guy I chose at random from {not shouting} WarioWare.

STRONG MAD: YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED THE DISCO GUY.

{Switch to Marzipan, Strong Sad, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith, who is bobbing for pumpkins. He picks up a pumpkin and spits it into the bucket twice.}

MARZIPAN: Yesterday, I was out in the garden, and I was weeding, and there was this little worm... and...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aww, everybody looks so great! {stops walking} You know, there's more punch over there, if anybody... wants any.

{At the last second of the shot, Homsar pops up from the pumpkin-bobbing pool.}

{Cut to Homestar.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: All riiiiiight, everybody! Line up! {holds up flashlight} We're gonna play {clicks flashlight on and off} Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashliiight! {thunder booms}

{Cut to Homestar at the front of the line, with Bubs and Pom Pom behind him.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, okay, okay! I'll go first.

{A circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene. The story begins in the Spooky Woods.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Umm... okay! {talking spooky} Once, there was this green gobliiiin... {a goblin appears, accompanied by a musical sting} and um, he used to... look aroooound... {the goblin looks around, accompanied by a musical sting} And um, I guess he did a daaance. {the goblin dances to a short song} {breaking character} Oh man, that was terribl-

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Goblin Dance Moves Upgrade".}

{The bar finishes downloading. It then reads "DLC downloaded!".}

{It then reads "The cartoon will now restart."}

{The screen briefly fades to black, before fading back in.}

{The bar reads "Just kidding."}

{The goblin now does a more well-animated dance to the remix from Most In The Graveyard. Homestar onlooks.}

{Homestar passes the flashlight to Bubs.}

BUBS: And... the goblin, he had a Grem-

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Lesser Characters Ghost Story Expansion"}

{The bar finished downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!" Coach Z now takes Bubs' place.}

COACH Z: Had this gorblin! He bought a new fridge!

{The car turns into a fridge. As Coach Z speaks, the fridge is morphed to fit his description. The goblin nods.}

COACH Z: And he tricked it out with a drawer freezer, French doors, and an ice-maker that dispenses ballpark ice! Y'know, the kind that kinda looks like little icy tater-torts. {A pile of ice cubes dispenses from the fridge.} 36 by 65 inches, 28 cubic feet of food storage, I mean we're talking some freaking hus-tle! {A few elements from Bubs' Gremlin are added to the fridge.}

{Coach Z passes the flashlight to The Cheat, who makes Cheat noises throughout his segment. As he does, a zombie bursts out from the fridge. Another zombie emerges from behind, as does a pair of eyeballs from the ice pile, another zombie from a tree, and a drawing of the sun on the fridge. The Cheat passes the flashlight to Strong Mad.}

STRONG MAD: Ummm... THE GOBLIN IS WEARING A HAT! {A chef's hat appears on the goblin.} And... THE FRIDGE IS WEARING A HAT! {A wizard's hat appears on the fridge.} Duh... uh, A PILE OF HATS IS WEARING A HAT! {A pile of hats appears, and a large maroon top hat plops on top of the pile.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, brother! Gimme that! {snatches the flashlight from Strong Mad} So then the robot came—

{The Visor Robot appears onscreen, to the right.}

STRONG BAD: —and he started vaporizing everybody with his vapor-gu-

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Robot Graphical Upgrade".}

{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!". The Visor Robot is now given a sleak black shiny coat.}

{the Visor Robot blasts everything but the fridge with red laser vision}

STRONG BAD: And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And then he said, {jumping backwards to crush the fridge underfoot} "Oh, the Gremlin! I hate the Goblin Gremlin! Bah!"

{The Visor Robot kicks the fridge over the trees. However, the Goblin, who has evaded the attack, stays behind.}

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Strong Bad Human Nose Pack".}

{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!" The circle zooms in to the center of the screen, as the nose of Strong Bad's costume is replaced with a more CG-looking one, with doingle boingle physics.}

STRONG BAD: Oh man, this nose is amazing! Look at it doingle boingle! {Strong Bad rocks his head back and forth} Doingle boingle doingle boingle dongle boingle… I need to get some more punch.

{The circle zooms back out to its original position. Strong Bad passes the flashlight to the King of Town and walks off}

THE KING OF TOWN: Oooh, oooh!

{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the King mentions in between them.}

THE KING OF TOWN: And then there was fried fish and Heavenly Ha-

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Nerf The King Of Town's Food Dumbness?" Two options are presented; "Yes" and "Very Yes". The latter is selected.}

{All the food inexplicably disappears. Strong Sad instantly takes his place.}

STRONG SAD: And so it turns out the robot had a human brain {a circle showing the interior of the Robot's head shows a human brain inside it} that was stolen from a ki-

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Strong Sad's Less Pathetic Voice Sound Pack"}

{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!"

{A boy and a girl walk in from the left.}

STRONG SAD: {Now with his modern voice} -kindly old man. And the children of that old man came to the robot looking for their father, and they called out to him.

{A speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl. They move in closer.}

STRONG SAD: And the robot's human brain remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears.

{Tears drip down from the robot's visor, which causes sparks to appear on his exterior.}

STRONG SAD: But the tears shorted out his circuits, and fried his brain.

{The robot topples over, crushing the two kids and the goblin. The robot's brain is thrown clear and begins to slide in a pool of brain juice.}

STRONG SAD: And the robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. And none of them lived.

{Cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and The King of Town crying.}

COACH Z: {crying} Oh, jeez, what a total downer!

{They walk away, still crying.}

{Cut to a wide shot as everyone begins leaving.}

STRONG BAD: Oh man, I'm outta here!

{The Poopsmith sighs deeply and walks away.}

MARZIPAN: {crying} That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party.

{Marzipan walks away crying, }

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {sadly} Gee... thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad.

{Homestar sighs and walks away.}

{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots as Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times.}

{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Modicum of Effort on the Animation Pack"}

{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!"}

{Strong Sad is now animated like he is clicking the flashlight on and off. A close-up circle is added to the right for emphasis.}

{Cut to the ending screen, showing the moon behind the trees. A far-off wolf howls.}

{The old-style costume list screen pops up. The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Later That Night"}

{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!". The scene changes to the since-2001 standard stand-around-and-comment-on-each-others'-costume screen.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa! I forgot this cartoon didn't have a stand around and comment on each other's costumes part.

STRONG SAD: The tradition of standing around in the spooky woods after a Halloween cartoon and commenting on one other's costumes began in 2001 with the cartoon The House—

STRONG BAD: Ugh! Pipe down, you walking Homestar Runner Wiki!

STRONG SAD: This cartoon contains another reference to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

STRONG BAD: This cartoon's about to contain another instance of blood if you don't shut up.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooh, I can help with that!

{He leans over and spurts blood out of his arm hole, then alternating to the other side, then both}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ptoo! Ptoo! Instance of blood!

Easter Eggs

At the end, click on The Cheat:

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing} Cheatcliff! Cheatcliff! No one should be in a third-rate Garfield cartoon!

At the end, click on Coach Z:

STRONG BAD: Well, it finally happened, Coach Z ran out of rappers to dress up as and had to repeat one.

COACH Z: No, no! I've never dressed up as somebody from Run DMC! Honest!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: There's no way, Coach Z. You definitely did in, like, 2003, 2005, maybe.

STRONG BAD: Yeah, I specifically remember there being like a "King of Rork" joke or maybe it was "Work this way".

COACH Z: {scatting and dancing to the tune of Walk this Way}

STRONG SAD: {speaking concernedly and rapidly} Are we really not going to address how Coach Z has fingers in this cartoon?!

At the end, click on Pom Pom:

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Pom Pom, I really like your Twinkie the Kid ate too many Twinkies as a kid costume!

KING OF TOWN: More like, I hanker for a hunka cheese council propaganda!

At the end, click on the King of Town:

KING OF TOWN: It was the right costume to do, and a tasty way to do it.

STRONG BAD: King of Town, are you simultaneously both the Quaker Oats guy and Wilford Brimley?

KING OF TOWN: Wilford Brimley was the Quaker Oats guy!

STRONG BAD: Yeah, but he didn't dress like a Quaker, he was like, the pitch man, standing in a kitchen, making breakfast.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No no, I'm with the King on this one. Wilford Brimley would hatch from his cocoon, covered in oatmeal and then say his famous catchphrase.

KING OF TOWN: Di-a-betus!

At the end, click on Strong Mad:

STRONG BAD: Strong Mad, how come both your costumes in this cartoon gotta be like, {wiggling his arms in disgust} medically naked?

STRONG MAD: YOU LEAVE MY BREAD BASKET OUT OF THIS!

{his nose buzzer goes off}

At the end, click on Strong Sad:

STRONG BAD: A-Guillermo, can you check and see if Stephen Pearcy from Ratt is still in my torture chamber?

STRONG SAD: Yes, master. Can you make me a vampire now?

STRONG MAD: BAT!

COACH Z: PC Lourde Letter?

{A printer labeled "PC Lourde Letter" falls on Homsar}

At the end, click on the Poopsmith:

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Poopsmith, I really like your evil Tron costume.

STRONG BAD: Um, that is literally what he is. That was like, a real character in a movie.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You mean that doesn't count as one of my delightful misinterpretations?

STRONG BAD: Nope, your description was dead-on. You blew it this time, Homestar.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Awww, end of line. Like, this is the end, of my line of dialogue. Thank you.

At the end, click on Homestar:

STRONG BAD: Alright, Homestar let's get this over with. Just say the line.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ahem... It's just a flesh wound {Although the way he says it sounds like he said "Fresh wound"}

STRONG BAD: Did you say "Fresh wound"?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, I said {pronounces it the same} flesh wound.

STRONG BAD: Yeah, that's not the right quote, it's just a flesh wound.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah yeah, that's what I said, fresh wound.

STRONG BAD: Uh, alright, let me hear you say the phrase "In the Flesh".

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You mean like, medically naked?

{Strong Mad's buzzer goes off}

STRONG BAD: No, just say the expression! "In the flesh".

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, in person.

At the end, click on Homsar:

At the end, click on Strong Bad:

STRONG BAD: Pwa-pwa-pwao

{music plays as a razor shaves off the mustache and Stave looks shocked}

STRONG BAD: {cackles wickedly}

At the end, click on the moon:

{Homestar counts and numbers appear on the screen}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: 2, 3, 4

{Then appears a storybook entitled "The Homestar Runners and the Yellow Bathyscaphe" with Marzipan dressed as John Lennon playing a guitar with Homestars dressed as other Beatles behind her. As they reach the left of the screen, she slowly grows long hair and a beard}

SINGERS: Homestar, run, run. Homestar, run, run.

At the end, click on the skull:

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Walk this way with me, Fat Duds!

At the end, click on the jack-o'-lantern:

Fun Facts

Explanations

"Nerfing" in gaming terminology refers to a game element being made weaken either through patching or in-game debuffs.
"Death Clock" is possibly a deliberate mispronunciation of Marvel Comics character Deathlok.

Trivia

Strong Sad behaves like the Homestar Runner Wiki at the beginning of the "Later That Night" segment.

Remarks

Despite ostensibly being a replay of Homestarloween Party with DLC added, the segment where Marzipan tries to get the story order to go boy-girl-boy-girl and ends up standing next to Strong Bad is cut.
Contrary to Homestar Runner's claims, Coach Z did not dress as a Run DMC member in 3 Times Halloween Funjob and Halloween Potion-ma-jig

Inside References

The options for nerfing the King of Town are "Yes" and "Very Yes", the latter of which calls back to the error message in virus.
Homestar's costume spouts, and Strong Bad makes a meta reference to, blood.
The music that plays during the upgraded Goblin dance is taken from Most in the Graveyard.
Strong Bad getting a human nose may be a reference to licensed, where it is one of the requirements for licensed unlicensed Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.
"The Homestar Runners and the Yellow Bathyscaphe" is a callback to "The Homestar Runner and the Bathyscaphe" from Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold.

Real-World References

Homestar raps to the chorus of "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC to Coach Z.
Homestar compares Marzipan’s costume to Sonny Bono in a Scooby-Doo episode with a pink and green cotton candy monster. Said monster appeared in "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed".
