00:00IntroEXT. PUMPKIN FIELD — NIGHT
Low angle. A flashlight beam sweeps across the field. Pumpkins everywhere. Heavy footsteps. Leaves crunching.
SFX: distant growl. Wet. Guttural.
PUPPY JAY and DOXIE DIN sprint across the field — silhouettes in the moonlight.
PUPPY JAY(panicked) Din, run! Faster!!!
DOXIE DIN(gasping, desperate) I’m too old for this shit…
PUPPY JAY DON’T split up!! TITLE CARD: EARLIER THAT EVENING
PUPPY JAY(smiling) It’s really nice to get away for a bit… Just the two of us.
Doxie Din stirs his tea.
PUPPY JAY(sincere) Ever since I started the show, I feel like we barely get to hang out…
DOXIE DIN(nods) Yeah… It’s great. Really great. (pause, looks around) And I love the place you picked — totally not creepy at all!
Wide shot: the field is full of carved pumpkins, casting long shadows.
DOXIE DIN(deadpan) Middle of nowhere… Pumpkin patch… Halloween Eve… Great vibes… Zero serial killer energy!
PUPPY JAY(laughs) What?? It’s festive!
DOXIE DIN It’s terrifying!
PUPPY JAY(grinning) Speaking of terrifying… Wanna hear a scary story?
DOXIE DIN(blunt) No!
PUPPY JAY(beat) Oh… okay…
DOXIE DIN(smirking) Of course I do. I’m messing with you! If I die in this creepy place tonight… I at least want to hear one decent horror story first.
PUPPY JAY(relieved) Well okay — get ready! This one’s so scary… it gave me goosebumps under my fur!

JINGLE
CLOSE-UP — pumpkin firelight flickering in Puppy Jay’s eyes as he begins…
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) Once, a dachshund was playing with his human! They were just having fun… you know, that awesome game where they throw something — and you bring it back?
DOXIE DIN My favorite!
PUPPY JAY Same! I could play that for hours! Anyway — the human threw the ball…
SKETCH BEGINS — EXT. EDGE OF WOODS — SUNSET. A little dachshund watches the ball bounce away, then runs after it.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) But this time… it went far! It bounced down a hill… past the trees… deeper… and deeper into the forest!
SFX: wind picks up, birds scatter.
The dachshund finally catches up to the ball.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) When the pup finally caught it… he turned around — and realized…
SFX: wet sticky stretch — SSHHHLORP.
A wall of thick, shiny spiderweb now blocks the path.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) The way back was completely sealed off!
He takes a step — gets stuck.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) Before he could even bark “help”… something grabbed him!
SFX: WHIP!
He’s yanked upward into the darkness.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) He was stuck… Wrapped up!
SFX: click-click-click…
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) And then… from the shadows above… came the Pawrantula — a giant, extremely rare spider! All ten of his eyes stared deep into the puppy… And then —
PUPPY JAY(sudden, loud) BOOOOOO!!!
CUT TO BLACK.
PUPPY JAY(V.O., calm) And no one ever saw that puppy again…
BACK TO CAMPFIRE. Puppy Jay grins across the fire. Doxie Din blinks, caught off guard… then laughs.
DOXIE DIN(laughing) Okay — that was awesome! You’ve gotten way better at storytelling!
PUPPY JAY(smiling) Really?
DOXIE DIN Yeah! Way better than your early episodes of Sunday Puppy Jay. Episodes 1 through 4 in Season One were honestly kind of weak… That Dinanimus guy is the only reason they were even halfway decent!
PUPPY JAY They were pilots! And I’ve grown since then! I had the best teacher — he always said: if you believe in something… you gotta keep going!
Beat. Doxie Din looks away for a second. Slight smirk.
DOXIE DIN Yeah, well… Can’t argue with that! I am amazing. And a fantastic teacher!
PUPPY JAY And super humble too!
DOXIE DIN Just like you! (they laugh)
PUPPY JAY & DOXIE DIN Ha ha ha!
They sip pumpkin tea in silence for a beat.
DOXIE DIN(leaning forward) Alright. You told one — now it’s my turn!
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) There was a dachshund who got caught in a storm… Looking for shelter, he found an old, abandoned orphanage… He was exhausted… and fell asleep almost instantly!
03:18NightwraithEXT. FOREST — NIGHT
Wide shot: a crooked building hidden among leafless trees. Broken windows. A flickering wooden sign reads: “Sunny Paw Home for Pups.”
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) But when he woke up… there it was! A horrible red-haired doll… And no one else was there to move it!
03:49INT. ORPHANAGE — HALLWAY
The puppy creeps down a long corridor. The doll appears. Vanishes.
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) Then — BAM! It jumped at him!
He runs, terrified.
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) The dachshund bolted down the hallway — away from the doll — and straight into a room… with a rocking chair…
SFX: TAP. TAP. TAP. — footsteps behind him.
He slams the door. Silence. Then… the chair starts rocking.
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) At first, he thought he was safe… But then… A woman in white appeared! Witchers call them: Nightwraith!
SFX: slow CREEEAAAAK of rocking wood.
He tries to back away — the hallway behind him is now total blackness.
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) He knew he had to run! He sprinted as fast as his little legs could go! Slammed the iron door shut behind him — and it actually held! For a moment…
SFX: soft woooosh through the wall.
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) What he didn’t count on… was that ghosts don’t use doors!
BLACKOUT — snap to black with a flicker.
BACK TO CAMPFIRE.
PUPPY JAY Oh. My. Dog! What happened to him?!
DOXIE DIN(sips tea) I dunno. That was just a nightmare I had! (pause) Good thing Mom woke me up!
Wind blows. Fire crackles.
PUPPY JAY I’m sleeping with the lights on tonight…
DOXIE DIN Means I told it well!
04:55My Mom Is a Witch!
PUPPY JAY You know… You just unlocked a puppyhood memory for me… I actually remember a really scary story about Mom!
DOXIE DIN About Mom?
PUPPY JAY Back when I was just a tiny puppy — On Halloween Eve, Witch Mom was making Jack-o’-Lanterns… But not for decoration! Most likely… She was summoning spirits.
SFX: low bubbling — pumpkin guts swirl like a cauldron.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) But the pumpkin looked so delicious… I distracted her — and you stole a chunk of raw pumpkin! I’ve never been that scared in my life!
Young Doxie Din and Puppy Jay hide under the table, giggling, munching on pumpkin flesh.
SFX: ominous wind-up — low rising hum.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) She heard us chewing… Peeked under the table where we were hiding… and cast some spell — turning us into tangerines…
Wide shot — Mom picks up one in each hand.
PUPPY JAY(V.O.) And then… she ate us whole!
SFX: crunch-crunch.
Fade to white.
BACK TO CAMPFIRE. Puppy Jay looks solemn. Doxie Din stares at him.
DOXIE DIN(flat) You really think we got eaten?
PUPPY JAY(serious) Yeah. I suppressed the memory for years!
DOXIE DIN(dry) And then… what? Regrew?
PUPPY JAY(blinks) I… I… No way!!! So you’re saying that didn’t happen?
DOXIE DIN(sighs) Of course not — you got it all mixed up! I remember that day… Let me tell you what actually happened:
DOXIE DIN(V.O.) Mom wasn’t a witch, she was just making Jack-o’-Lanterns… And when we stole some pumpkin, she didn’t cast a spell — she just wagged her finger and said: “That’s not okay!”
PUPPY JAY(thinking) Hmm… maybe… But still — I’m pretty sure she gave me psychological trauma!
DOXIE DIN(groans) Ugh. Gen Z… Everything’s trauma…
DOXIE DIN(mocking) Human faked the throw — and didn’t actually toss the ball? Trauma! Got half a treat instead of a whole one? Trauma! Got told “off the couch”? Trauma!
DOXIE DIN In my day, we just called that… life!
07:05Pumpkin Juice Fun!
PUPPY JAY(thinking) You know what… Now I’m not even sure if any of my childhood memories are real…
PUPPY JAY Like — I swear we once summoned a pumpkin ghost! Pretty sure his name was… Pumpkin Juice! We had the best time! Threw water balloons at strangers… Mostly you played with him… I think I was already eaten by Mom! He even got us dog food from the top shelf. He was awesome!
DOXIE DIN(alarmed) Wait— You think Pumpkin Juice was fun?
PUPPY JAY(innocent) Yeah! He was hilarious!
DOXIE DIN(serious) We did summon something that night… But it wasn’t fun… It was terrifying! And we barely made it out alive…
PUPPY JAY(shocked) What?! No way! He even spoke Japanese — like in anime!
DOXIE DIN(deadpan) He literally threatened us… with a knife…
PUPPY JAY(beat, confused) No, no — I’d remember something like that! You’re messing with me — as usual! Nice try, but I’m not falling for it this time!
DOXIE DIN(alarmed) Wait—Jay, don’t you even think about it! Do not summon that thing!
PUPPY JAY(dramatic) Pumpkin Juice. Pumpkin Juice.
SFX: sudden GUST of wind — candles flicker, trees shake.
DOXIE DIN(shouting) Don’t say it a third time!!!
PUPPY JAY(leans in, smug) Pumpkin Juice!
SFX: low gurgling growl in the distance.
Wide shot: a glowing shape begins to rise from the pumpkin patch.
PUPPY JAY(terrified) Okay… This is not the nice guy I remember…
DOXIE DIN(shouting) RUN!!!
SFX: MONSTER SCREECH — distorted voice, like a wet blender screaming in Japanese.
They bolt. The camera whips with them.
PUPPY JAY(panting) I ADMIT IT!! YOU WERE RIGHT!!!
DOXIE DIN(shouting) AS ALWAYS!
PUPPY JAY(yelling back) I REALLY HOPE AT LEAST PAWRANTULAS DO NOT EXIST!

VICKY LICKY at the anchor desk. Behind her, live footage: a massive Pawrantula dangles from a web. Caught in its silk — the wriggling, horrified Pumpkin Juice creature.
VICKY LICKY(urgent, crisp) Breaking news — Pawrantulas do exist! And apparently… they really do love Pumpkin Juice!

09:14Final Bark
PUPPY JAY(smiling to camera) Well… that escalated very quickly!
PUPPY JAY Big thanks to my brother Doxie Din — for this nightmare-fueled camping trip! And to Pumpkin Juice… for being the worst imaginary friend ever…

PUPPY JAY(whispering) But seriously… we need to hit 100 soon — or our very special episode with Count Barkula might not happen…
PUPPY JAY(deadpan) And I have no idea what vampires do… when you ghost them!
SFX: thunder crack.
