"Blood Moon" is a two-part Halloween special from the animated series Big City Greens.

Synopsis[]

On Halloween, a spooky Blood Moon rises and turns the Greens' farm animals into a horde of zombie-like creatures.

Plot[]

It is Halloween night and Gramma Alice warns everyone that the Blood Moon is upon them and that things will not be the same. The family fittingly disregards her warnings as they prepare for the night. Alice has Bill lock up the animals in the garage while Cricket and Tilly happily announce their intent to get as much candy as they possibly can. Bill interjects that he will join them, but the kids turn him down. When they lived in the country, they had to drive from house to house and they would not get as much candy, but now that they live in Big City where the houses are bunched together, they do not need him. Bill begins feeling dejected by this as he tries to convince the kids to let him tag along. Gloria shows up to tell Cricket to not leave any bad jack-o'-lanterns at work, but is scared by him and faints, forcing Alice to drag her inside. Remy and Vasquez arrive, both dressed as hot dogs, with the former upset over the latter for stealing his costume idea.

The blood moon suddenly arises and the farm animals begin going manic attacking everyone. Everyone rushes inside to hide from the animals as Gloria awakens to the madness. She hastily attempts to escape, but gets bitten and attacked by the farm animals outside and runs back in. To make Cricket happy, Bill decides to simulate trick or treating inside the house for him and Remy, much to Cricket's confusion and annoyance. Tilly and Alice are convinced that Gloria is "infected" and tie her up. Tilly wants to perform experiments on her while Alice want to kill her. Vasquez sneaks off and discovers that the animals did not escape, but were let out as everyone begins arguing.

The animals break through Cricket's secret entrance as they overtake the house. Cricket manages to find a flashlight to ward away the animals long enough for everyone (except Gloria who is left tied up on the floor) to escape into the basement. As they collect themselves, Bill accidentally reveals that he was the one who released the animals because he could not fathom spending Halloween without his kids and did not want to lose a moment with them. Everyone is furious with Bill for putting the family in danger and ruining their whole Halloween, and they choose to quietly wait for the Blood Moon to go away which could take hours. Bill then realizes that they can still make it out due to one of the walls in the basement being made of pure dirt and everyone digs out of the ground to the surface.

As everyone sneaks away, a little trick or treater arrives at the door for candy and accidentally releases all the animals who then proceed to chase everyone into the apartment building next door. Everyone reaches the top and proceed to grab as much candy as they possibly can while the animals proceed to attack everyone. Remy and Vasquez make amends with Remy realizing that Vasquez always dressed up as a hot dog on Halloween, meaning he stole his costume, and they get trampled by the animals. The Greens cut through Brett's apartment where he is having his party (the same one Gloria was trying to attend) and the animals begin wrecking the place. As they get to the roof, Cricket sacrifices his candy to save Bill and they prepare to be devoured. However, the Blood Moon lifts and the animals return to normal. Cricket promises never to go trick-or-treating without Bill again, and Remy and Vasquez make up while Gloria reaches Brett's party battered and bruised. The moon suddenly jump scares with Cricket's face on shouting "Happy Halloween!"

Trivia[]

  • This episode features an altered intro.
    • This episode also features a cold opening before the intro.
  • This is the first full half hour episode.
  • The characters and their costumes are as follows:
    • Cricket as a zombie (cowboy in the past)
      • Cricket's cowboy costume resembles Woody, albeit with a blue shirt instead of a yellow one.
    • Tilly as a scientist (devil in the past)
    • Bill as a lumberjack
    • Alice as a grim reaper
    • Remy as a hot dog (jack-o-lantern, astronaut and frog in the past)
    • Vasquez as a hot dog (he always goes as one)
    • Gloria as a cat
    • Brett as a "costume"
  • This episode most likely takes place sometime before "Phoenix Rises" as the Greens do not appear to have been reunited with Nancy. (In fact, this episode and "Big Deal"/"Forbidden Feline" precede "Phoenix Rises" in production order.)
  • Some insight into Gloria's life is explored as she is shown to have a crush on a boy named Kevin.
  • It seems strange that the farm animals remained on the Green's property and not charge the other nearby trick or treaters. As a matter of fact, it seems strange that only the farm animals were affected and not the other city wildlife.
  • While the series has mostly remained grounded (relatively speaking) this is the first time something supernatural occurs on the show.
  • The appearance and significance of the Blood Moon is a recurring theme that is explored in Big City Greens' sister series Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
  • Animal names: Betty and Cynthia the Chickens.
  • Phoenix and Dirtbag were the only animals not affected by the Blood Moon.
  • Moral: Always include your loved ones.
