Halloween Candy
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A father settles beside a decorated fireplace to show what he plans to give trick-or-treaters. Ordinary candy wrappers conceal unwanted snacks, gross substitutes and empty packaging, while a personalized Pez dispenser and packaged razor blades reveal his peculiar sense of generosity. His skeleton-costumed son Diego keeps returning with increasingly disastrous Halloween mishaps, and his wife Adult Ruth appears as part of a candy-bar joke. The family ends the preview together after a final adult treat.
