Plot
The show begins with the title credits. We then find out that Harry was the one who has been controlling the whole thing in a special media room in Scary Godmother's home. She interrupts by telling him he promised to do some chores for her to make up for eating all the food the year before. She then leaves and Harry begins to narrate the story about how Jimmy plots to stop Halloween.
We move to Jimmy's home where he is lying on his bed and he begins to have a dream. The dream involves him in his devil costume confronted by Bug A Boo who is about to eat him. He wakes up startled by the dream and begins to "Monster Proof" his room. He tests the trap on his friends who come in a while later. The tests works on them and Jimmy explains the whole thing to them, including the one where he wants to boycott Halloween. His friends didn't want to be involve in any of this, so they leave for Hannah's house. At Hannah's home, the young girl is putting up Halloween decorations, until Bug A Boo scares her by grabbing her ankle. While the two friends talk, Hannah mentions that she ran out of cobwebs, so Bug A Boo recommends that she should go visit Scary Godmother by using the key to the Fright Side she got from her. She inserts the key in her closet door and travels to The Fright Side.
When she arrives, Scary Godmother is preparing a dish for the party. Her cat, Boozle, comes in and coughs up a "scareball", which lands on the Magic Calendar. On the Calendar, Halloween is the most important holiday to them. They then have a visit from Count Max, Ruby and Orson, who came to ask Scary Godmother if she needed anything. Ruby then shows Hannah what Orson is to wear on Halloween, making Orson really embarrassed since he doesn't know what to wear. Hannah then leaves to go back to the real world.
Back in the real world, Jimmy has this idea about pumpkins that he got from talking to Hannah while she was in The Fright Side. He sneaks into the pumpkin patch during the night and smashes the pumpkins. The next day, Bert, Daryl, Katie and Hannah arrive and are horrified about what has happened. This causes major problems with the Fright Side, causing the Halloween date to get small, the jack-o-lanterns beginning to disappear, along with Harry, Mr. Pettibone and Bug A Boo. In the real world, Hannah begins to think of a way to fix the pumpkins, then comes up with an idea to just draw the other features beside the mouth, since the pumpkins look like it already had mouths, so the problem is solved when the jack-o-lanterns come back and everything is back to normal on the Fright Side.
When Jimmy sees his friends with pumpkins, he is outraged, until he hears their conversation about candy and costumes, so he sneaks into all stores and writes poison on all the candies and flammable on all the costumes. This, again causes problems with the Fright Side, when the Halloween date gets even smaller and everything begins to disappear, including the house and the entire Fright Side realm. So Hannah comes up with an idea to just make everything, such as new treats. Soon, The Fright Side is put back to its original state.
The gang decide to have a Halloween party, and invite Jimmy, who covers the place where the party was to be held (The Spook House) with toilet paper. When they discover what happens, this again affects the Fright Side by making everything totally wrong, for there is no longer a Halloween on the calendar (being replaced with Nov.1, respectively). In the process, Harry's shirt disappears, Mr. Pettibone falls apart, Bug A Boo shrinks, Scary Godmother loses her color and the vampires become humans. The kids become sad, until Hannah tells them that the toilet paper look like ghosts. After the explanation, the Fright Side is back to normal and Halloween returns to the calendar.
The kids go to the Fright Side (with help from Hannah's key) to celebrate the party. When they arrive, the monsters scare them, and they laugh it off when they see them. When Jimmy arrives (because the portal from the real world and the Fright Side is to still open) the guests begin to dance, and he steals the prize for the Best Costume. In the kitchen, Ruby and Max are waiting for Orson to put on a Prince outfit, but Hannah explains to them that he was already a Prince of the Night, so they agree to let him wear a costume.
When it's time to announce the winner for the Best Costume, the prize is gone. We then see Jimmy with the prize, only to be busted by Harry, who wanted the candy, so they begin to fight over it. Bug A Boo arrives, causing Jimmy and Harry to crash into him, making Harry fly out of the house, and Jimmy and Bug A Boo screaming at each other. After Jimmy's fright, Bug A Boo explains that he looked really scary, so Scary Godmother announces that Jimmy has won the contest. Jimmy is back to his old self again.
The show ends with Harry trying to convince the audience to give him spare candy and send it to his address, only to be dragged away by Mr. Pettibone and Scary Godmother ending the show for Harry.
