To compensate, Pooh declares they shall have an unfrightening "Hallo-Wasn't" for Piglet's sake, much to Tigger's dismay. where Tigger then is at home singing about how he wants to scare himself and everyone else in which Tigger imagines up Spookables, Heffalumps, Woozles and everything else. However, they all get together once night begins for their journey then Piglet decides he doesn't want to participate and they talk about how every year he never does But when Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger arrive at Piglet's house later in the evening dressed as "Spookables", Piglet mistakes them for actual Spookables and flees into the night to warn his friends; seeing the Piglet-shaped hole Piglet made in the wall in his panic to escape, the three believe Piglet has been captured by the 3 Headed Spookables himself, and set off to rescue their friend. where they arrived in their costumes at Piglet's house which made him scared and run out of his house meanwhile in Rabbit's garden Piglet hears a strange noise it is Rabbit napping but Piglet thinks it is a Spookable but it was not then Piglet hears another noise another spookable and it is getting closer by the time Rabbit's wheelbarrow rolls into Piglet he is surrounded by spookables.
Meanwhile in the woods, they all run over the 100 Acre Wood Pooh becomes caught in a branch with his costume on, and piglet rescues pooh from the spookables enabling him to conquer his fears but when Eeyore and Tigger try to pull him down, Piglet mistakes the scene for Pooh being attacked by Spookables. Determined to save his friend, Piglet uses the dummy he'd made earlier to fend off the "Spookables", resulting in the others believing an actual real monster is coming for them. The panic ends when Piglet is able to chase the others back to Rabbit's pumpkin garden, and crashes his dummy, making the others believe he vanquished the beast. Happy he has conquered his fears of Halloween at last, Piglet's friends congratulate and thank them for saving them all, and Tigger is so very happy he received a scare on Halloween after all; Gopher also finds a costume that everyone likes (a running gag throughout the story was that he dressed up as the other characters, only to be dismissed as a poor costume of something he was not). The story ends with Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Gopher, Owl, and Piglet trick-or-treating together as a group, not afraid of Halloween as long as they have each other and enjoys Halloween with his friends.

Trivia []
- In Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, Roo tells Lumpy how it happens. Roo states that it happened before he and Kanga moved to the Hundred Acre Wood, which can't be possible because Tigger is present and in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, Tigger moved to the Hundred Acre Wood when Kanga and Roo already lived there. So this would mean Kanga and Roo must have come back from vacation after Halloween.
- When Roo said "Unscared," he means "Fear Overcoming" when talking to Lumpy.
- Owl appears in a deleted scene of this special telling Piglet why he feels scared then suddenly Owl tells him a scary story that might make him feel better, while Kanga, Roo and Christopher Robin do not appear at all. However, Kanga and Roo do appear as a stuffed animals and Christopher Robin was mentioned only.
- This is the second Winnie the Pooh Halloween special.
- Another deleted scene involves Piglet making signs like Spookables scram, no ghosts allowed, and goblins go home.
