Scared Shrekless

Fiona and their three children scare away some teenage trick-or-treaters, and Shrek proposes a Halloween storytelling contest. Whoever tells the scariest story without getting eliminated will be crowned King of Halloween. The group travels to the rundown kingdom of Duloc to set up inside the abandoned castle.

They settle into the crumbling Duloc Castle and prepare for the storytelling challenge. The spooky halls and dusty banners set a tense, eerie mood as everyone braces for the first performance. The stage is set for a night of competing frights.

Gingy visits the Muffin Man to complain about his girlfriend, and they decide to create a new girlfriend named Sugar. They bake Sugar with an excess of sugar, hoping she will love him forever. Sugar becomes possessive and terrifying, and Gingy ends up pushing her into a big container of batter, unleashing thousands of zombie Sugar clones that surround and devour him.

Gingy's tale terrifies the crowd and triggers eliminations among the contestants. The Three Little Pigs panic and run away, effectively removing themselves from the contest, while the Big Bad Wolf, wearing a witch hat, heads off after them. Shrek calls Gingy's story out as being false, and Gingy is eliminated in embarrassment.

Donkey and Puss begin their Boots Motel story during a thunderstorm, hoping the tale will outshine Gingy. The narrative devolves into chaos as Puss keeps getting killed, prompting Donkey to improvise to keep the action alive. The innkeeper turns out to be Prince Charming, who zaps Puss with a wand and traps him in a deadly setup.

The Boots Motel tale spirals into chaos, with Donkey and Pinocchio trying to rescue Puss from traps and dramatic twists. In the end, Puss is eliminated, and Shrek, Donkey, and Pinocchio are confirmed as the final three.

Shrek tells 'The Shreksorcist' about babysitting a crazed and possessed Pinocchio. The possessed puppet repeatedly attacks Shrek, and a cricket appears as his conscience. Pinocchio screams at the sight of a normal cricket and flees, sealing his elimination.

With Pinocchio eliminated, Shrek and Donkey are declared the final two for the night and move to a non-story elimination. Rumors about Farquaad’s ghost swirl as a walking armor begins calling Donkey’s name, hinting at a haunted confrontation. The tension builds as the bizarre finale looms.

The armor-prophecy ghost frightens Donkey, who bolts in fear and is the final one to be eliminated in the non-story round. Shrek remains as the last contestant standing, awaiting the final result.

Fiona reveals that she and the babies staged the ghost act to spice up the contest and protect Shrek's win. She proclaims Shrek the King of Halloween and the official champion of the storytelling night. The moment is celebrated with cheers and a cheeky sense of mischief.

The celebration takes a playful turn as the group egging the Seven Dwarfs becomes a lighthearted finale to their spooky night. Laughter replaces fear as the castle echoes with merriment. The Halloween victory feels earned and ridiculous in equal measure.

Shrek is crowned King of Halloween and the friends regroup after their chaotic, funny victory. They retreat into the castle with plans for more mischief and merriment, sealing the Halloween adventure as a unique, memorable night.
