Mordecai doesn't seem too sure about it and starts asking if they should really smash THESE pumpkins. Muscle Man claims that they should because Benson said ALL the pumpkins. Not too shortly after, Rigby finds two Pumpkin People hung up on 2 Poles. Muscle Man then starts making really lame insults to the Male Pumpkin.

With flames bursting out of his eyes. The guys tell him just to phase through it. But soon, the Pumpkin turns Fives into a solid pumpkin yelling; "You boys want to smash some pumpkins? Let's smash some pumpkins!", Then throws The Pumpkin Fives on the ground, making him splattered and the male collects the seeds. Then the remaining 3 run away all separately. Mordecai hides behind a mini tractor, with the Pumpkin Looking in his direction, but Rigby creates a diversion yelling; "MORDECAI! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Then the Pumpkin goes after him.

The Previous Owner (as told by Benson)[]
The park guys are having a meeting with Benson, after they get all the pumpkins and signs set up, he says that there is going to be a 200 year old Poltergeist in the house at night. Everybody thinks that it is going to be awesome, but Benson says otherwise, he explains how a long time ago, A man named Jebediah Townhouse used to say things that people used to say back in the 1980s such as "Bogus, Righteous and Wiggin Out." Due to the fact that he was so ahead of his time, the townsfolk believed he was a witch. Before they could kill him, he infused his soul into the house that the park crew lives in right now, silently waiting for 200 years to return.
After the story is told, everyone thinks that Benson just wants the house to himself, they also think it doesn't make sense. But Benson is really serious and leaves the house in his compact car. Then Muscle Man says that everyone should go to the house at night and see who can stay the longest. Then Mordecai says that they should all pool in $20 and the winner gets all the money, Skips didn't participate, so it was Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost and Pops. Later that night, Pops tried going to sleep, then Heard hip hop coming from his Phonograph. Then turned off the music, then Jebediah Spoke to Pops and Pops runs downstairs screaming. Then the power goes out, while there is loud banging at the door. Pops holds a flashlight while Mordecai and Rigby defend them and Pops with golf clubs. At the door, there is a shadow that resembles Jebediah. They open and start attacking, but it reveals to actually be Muscle Man in a raincoat with Fives under a garbage pail, Therefore making them look like Townhouse in the shadows.
Then, they decided to play a board game and Pops once again freaks out claiming he saw Jebediah on the Board Game, but once again, nobody sees anything. Fives and Muscle Man get hungry and head to the Kitchen for the House's supply of burritos. But Jebediah confronts them as the Fridge itself, then morphs into the Oven and says: "Why you all up in my grill?". Then the two get burned alive and baked into brownies. Mordecai finds the two human desserts and says that the remaining three have to leave now. But Rigby disagrees and says that they will get more money for the winner, so they think that they should try to stick it out, then Jebediah morphs from the board game that they were playing and says, "The Max". They try to be scared but due to the 80's phrases that Townhouse keeps saying to them get them bored.
But not too soon until he begins to chase them throughout the house, as they try to run for the front door, Jebediah appears and sticks out his long tongue, the three run up the stairs, but turn into Jebediah's mouth, therefore his tongue makes it hard to run up. Mordecai and Rigby hang on to the ceiling columns, but Pops slips and falls into Jebediah's mouth. The remaining two run up the stairs, but one of the windows on the end of the hallway turn into a floating, spinning and shredding head. The two attempt to open the window, but it's stuck. Then they climb up the ladder to the attic, making the floating head explode, then the columns on the ceiling turn into Jebediah's hand and asks for the $100. Mordecai and Rigby find an open window to the roof and the roof turns to Townhouse's head. He shakes the two and Mordecai and Rigby jump, but before the two reach the ground, Jebediah's hand catches them and he says: "Whoop! There it is!" and eats them.
