Plot
The engines in the shed are all dressed up for Halloween, except Percy. Sir Topham Hatt arrives to ask one of the engines to collect the trucks of food for the party which Edward lost in the forest. While Henry eagerly volunteers, Sir Topham Hatt instead chooses Percy. Despite his protests, Sir Topham Hatt assigns Percy before leaving to dress up for the party (as Slender-Man). The engines engage in a discussion about the Slender-Man, eventually transitioning to the Slender Engine, a specter who haunts the forests of Sodor and is supposedly responsible for the disappearances of Duke, Stepney, and all the one-offs Hit introduced.
Percy enters the forest to collect the 8 trucks. Upon finding the trucks, strange phrases are scrawled on the side. All through-out, Percy hears puffing in the darkness. After collecting three trucks, the Slender Engine appears, and Percy rushes away in fear. However, the slender engine is revealed to merely be the discarded bodies of scrapped engines. A costumed Edward also emerges from the shadows, intrigued by the scrapped engines.
