Summary
As Arthur tries to prepare his costume for Halloween, he finds himself distracted by D.W.'s persistent case of hiccups.
Plot
The episode starts out with Arthur digging out everything from his closet D.W. walks in and asked him what's he doing {Hic} besides messing up your room. Arthur stops and tells her "None of your business." Then Arthur takes D.W. out and then shuts his door and tells her she's driving him insane with her hic-upping then he goes backs into his closet then takes out a green suit jacket and slips it on then tells us "Do you know how some kids dress up as kitty cats and fairies on Halloween? well that's not what Halloween's about I'll show you what I mean." Then he imagines and then we see three kids in Halloween costumes one in a princess costume one in a light purple dog costume with purple dots and D.W.'s preschool friend is in a pumpkin costume, One of them rings the doorbell and a woman answers it and then all 3 of them in unison say "Trick Or Treat!!" then the woman says "oh look you're so cute." then she gets the bowl of candy until Arthur says "Wrong."

Trivia
- D.W. imagines her future self as the same size but with white hair, despite imagining her future self as an adult in "D.W.'s Name Game."
Episode connections
- D.W. is still scared of octopuses, as revealed in "D.W. All Wet."
- D.W. gets the hiccups in "Arthur vs. the Piano," which has a similar ending gag.
- Halloween also takes place in the one-hour special "Arthur and the Haunted Tree House". As such, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Mr. and Mrs. Read all have the same costumes.
Errors
- When discussing D.W.'s fears, she says she has never seen Dark Bunny, but heard it's "scary." However, in "That's a Baby Show!" she says she watched it the day before and it scared her.
Production notes
- In the title card, D.W.'s dress is colored orange and Arthur's pants are colored green. This is because the episode takes place on Halloween and orange and green are colors commonly related to the holiday.
