"Halloween Hound: The Legend of Creepy Collars" is a two-part Halloween episode of Wishbone, originally aired on PBS during the show's second and final season.
Synopsis[]
Part 1[]
In the season 2 premiere, Joe accidentally throws a ball near the old Murphy house while playing with Wishbone. Wishbone meets a black cat for the first time, but Joe warns him to leave the site due to its unpleasant appearance. Joe meets Oakdale's Sports and Games store owner, Travis Del Rio (Julio Cedillo) who develops a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt. He also meets Mr. Del Rio's niece, Melina Finch (Mikaila Enriquez) and nephew, Marcus Finch (Paul English, Jr.). Joe later participates in the scavenger hunt with his two friends after Travis gives the instructions to every scavenger hunt group. Damont and his cousin, Jimmy (Jarrad Kritzstein) are ahead of the group led by Sam. Joe and David are along with her. The hunt begins with these three friends playing a carnival game that involves shooting simulated wild animals (either a tiger or an African lion) behind Wanda's house. Next, they go to the Dart animal clinic where Sam plays in the simulated horse-racing arcade game. After that, the friends along with Wishbone go over to Jackson Park where David drops a coin into the orange slot in order to begin the contraption. It ends with an invitation to a Halloween "tea party" at 13 Thunder Road.
Part 2[]
Oakdale's first annual Halloween-themed scavenger hunt ends with Joe, David, and Sam at Thunder Road in front of the old Murphy house along with Jimmy who tells them that Damont went inside the haunted house before their arrival. Wishbone pursues a black cat, which leads Joe and his two friends directly into the Murphy house, but Jimmy stays outside. It is the same house where Joe saw an eerie-eyed disembodied spirit while he was trick-or-treating with David several years earlier. Damont sneakily closes various doors on Joe, Sam, and David. Wishbone closes a door on Damont and the black cat. The hunt ends with Joe finding the gift certificate under a floor downstairs and Damont quickly exits the Murphy house after Joe opens the door that shuttered Damont, but Joe encounters the eerie eyes which turn out to be the black cat. The disembodied spirit's eerie eyes turn up when Sam's group exits the Murphy house. After exiting the Murphy house, Travis congratulates Sam's team for finishing the scavenger hunt. He announces a Halloween party at his Sports and Games store afterwards. Travis also tells Joe that the scavenger hunt on Halloween was his fortunate day after all. The black cat disappears on Wishbone for the final time.
