Trick or Threat is an Eddsworld Halloween short, animated by Brandon "Wazzaldorp" Turner, and released on October 23, 2015. This episode was made entirely in secret, until it was revealed on Eddsworld's official Twitter page. It features an original song sung by Todd Bryanton.

Lyrics

Late at night, on Halloween

Tom and Edd were fast asleep

While Matt watched TV and ate some sweets

A little girl knocked and said "Trick or Treat!"

Matt slammed the door and took a seat

But suddenly, the girl was on the screen

The lights flickered, this wasn't a dream

She leapt at him and he screamed! (Matt: Aaagh!)

Edd ran out to save Matt's life

Matt was gone... but now he had a knife!

Matt swung, and Edd fell to his knees

He looked at him and began to plead;

"What happened Matt? Have you gone insane?"

"I can't help it, Edd! She's inside 'my brain!"

Matt plunged the knife right into Edd

But it hit Edd's lucky can instead

Edd ran off, found a place to hide

Matt couldn't find him even though he tried

Edd felt like he was in the clear

Until he saw her eyes, and screamed in fear

Matt rushed over and opened the door

And Edd jumped out with a furious roar

They both fought so savegely

That the little girl clapped her hands with glee

Tom burst in, they stopped in surprise

"I'm trying to sleep! C'mon, knock it off, guys!"

She stared at Tom with an evil grin

But her powers had no effect on him

So Tom kicked out her out the door

And said "Don't come back anymore!"

The curse on Matt and Edd was gone

So they both turned and looked at Tom

"Why couldn't she possess your mind?"

Tom (speaking) You can't possess something twice.

Cast

Trivia

  • This is the first musical Eddsworld episode that was mainly focused on an original song.
  • This short was released on Eddsworld co-writer/producer Eddie Bowley's birthday. Though it's unknown if this was intentional.
