Summary Oobi and Uma go trick or treating. It’s Uma's first Halloween, and after Oobi teaches her all the rituals, Uma takes Kako under her wing and helps him overcome his fear of Halloween. — NickJr.com (source) Plot Oobi is in his room, wearing a dinosaur costume. He looks in the mirror and practices roaring. Uma walks over in a bunny costume. The siblings have each other guess what their costumes are meant to be. Oobi invites the viewers to guess along. Grampu appears and admires the costumes. He volunteers to take them trick-or-treating with Kako. Uma is really excited, since it's her first time. They walk to Kako's house, where they talk with Kako's dad Papu. Papu gives the kids some candy and Uma almost takes the whole bowl. Grampu explains that she's only supposed to take one. When Kako comes to the door, Oobi asks why he isn't wearing a costume. Kako unwillingly tells Oobi that he's afraid of Halloween and has never gone trick-or-treating before. Uma tells Kako that she'll help him overcome his fear. She takes the tail of her rabbit costume and puts it on Kako's head, telling him that it's a snowball costume. The kids and Grampu walk over to Mrs. Johnson's house, where they hope to get candy. Along the way, Angus walks by in a ghost costume. Kako is terrified at first, but Uma shows him that it's just a costume and there's nothing to be afraid of. When they arrive at Mrs. Johnson's door, Uma shows how to ask for a treat. Kako follows her lead and gets a box of raisins from Mrs. Johnson. She tries to guess what his costume is but can't get it right. She asks if it's a flower or a cotton swab and Kako finally says that it's a snowball. After each of the kids gets a box of raisins, Oobi waves "goodbye" to the viewers and the episode ends.

(source, see metadata) In October 2004, the Times Leader ran an ad to promote this episode's premiere. It featured a photo of Uma on its front page and an article about the episode in its TV section. The front-page ad The article This and "Valentine!" are the only two holiday-themed episodes of the show. This episode was aired annually on Noggin after its premiere. It continued to air each year on Nick Jr. until 2013. A hand puppet version of the Sun-Maid logo can be seen on the raisins box. In October 2005, Noggin ran a Halloween marathon called the "Halloween Spook-tacular". A rerun of "Halloween!" (which premiered a year before in 2004) was shown as part of the marathon, and a clip from the episode was used in the marathon's promo. This episode marks the debut of both Angus and Mrs. Johnson. In the interview segment, Inka says "Oopa-doo!" and wears a clown nose. This is a callback to Grampu's clown act in "Pretend Circus!", where he wears the same nose and says the same quote. The scene where Oobi and Uma try on their costumes is featured in the opening theme for season three. From 2015 until 2019, this episode was available in the "Halloween" section of the Noggin app during the month of October.
