- sits at the window by their front door dozing away when they hear a knock at the door. They look at the time, 23:28 (11:28 pm)
"What the- Who is up at this hour???" They look out the window as another knock sounds. A trick or treater? Oh.
There's a person in an orange suit (onesie??outside the door. The suit has little red stripes on the arms and legs along with horns and a tail. The tail is moving.
Thats kinda weird but whatever. They're holding a little candy bucket it doesn't look that filled so... - takes pity on them so they open the blinds and knock on the window to get the persons attention. The person turns and- "what the fuck-“ - turns from the window
-OKAY THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A PERSON maybe it's just a stupidly realistic mask? No idea. Okay you gotta acknowledge them now you got their attention first.
- looks back and definitely didn't let out a yelp at the person that was now pressed against the window. Okay.. It looked too familiar now
- orange striped costume
- long tail
- black mask with a smile?
- yellow eyes
wait a minute..
oh? THUNK "OH SHIT"
THE THING THAT WAS ON TV
- didn't know what to do now and was now pretty sure the thing was getting impatient as more thunks sounded against the glass. OF COURSE who else would be outside at this time of night. The police won't answer this late there's nobody at the station - bets.
Oh, wait a minute.
It wasn't staring at - but at the bucket of candy on the table beside them. - stared for a while. It just wants candy does it?
Alrighty then. - was looking to get rid of most of this somehow anyways.
- takes the bucket and walks to the front door.
They look through the peephole and yup, sure enough, the Eastridge Demon was standing at the door.
Through the mail slot - managed to pour most of the candy through. Hearing an chirr and pit patters away from the door. - got up and looked back through the window to see if it took it. The candy was gone and so was the monster.
"Well... I'm going to bed"

Down the street, Clyde was down at his little candy bucket, now decently filled with sweets from the most recent house.
Huh, That was one of the only houses that gave them candy. Well, they'll be coming back to that one next year then. They'll check for good ones when they meet back up with Winfrey
And off they went, back home.
