To help Buffy get over the pain of having been used by Parker, the gang head to a fraternity Halloween party expecting a few cheap scares and a bit of harmless fun. Unfortunately, some accidental magic turns the party into a house of horrors where everyone's fears come to life.
(The mark on the floor begins to glow. There's rumbling)
WILLOW: Look!
(We get a close up of Gachnar, and he's one ugly dude. Gachnar looks up and the camera pulls back to reveal that he is tiny, maybe a half a foot tall, if that.)
BUFFY: This is Gachnar?
XANDER: Big overture. Little show.
Gachnar: I am the dark lord of nightmares!
(Buffy tries not to laugh)
Gachnar: The bringer of terror! Tremble before me. Fear me!
WILLOW: He - he's so cute!
Gachnar: Tremble!
XANDER: Who's a little fear demon? Come on! Who's a little fear demon!
GILES: Don't taunt the fear demon.
XANDER: Why, can he hurt me?
GILES: No, it's just - tacky. Be that as it may, Buffy, when it comes to slaying...
BUFFY: Size doesn't matter?
Gachnar: They're all going to abandon you, you know.
BUFFY: Yeah, Yeah.
(We get a shot of Buffy's huge foot as she stomps down and squishes the fear demon.)\
hehehe. My dad asked me about that, before we got to that part, and we said practically the same thing! haha i didn't even realize it until we got there.
Dad: That's her scary costume? Me: Bunnies frighten her.
