A little boy in a skeleton costume named Miller tells Karen and Zachary the story of Farmer Palmer, the story of the pumpkin heads that he created. The boy says that the pumpkins felt abandoned after Farmer Palmer's death. Karen and Zachary start hearing an odd noises, and their father is trying to tend the pumpkins, but he was attacked by a pumpkin head. Zachary is surprised by a scarecrow in a closet (that he tackled earlier) but he and Karen think that it's a prank by the boy in the costume from earlier and go out to find him. Their mom is attacked by the pumpkin heads. They don't find the skeleton boy at all, but his mom looking for him and she is also attacked. The siblings run back to the house after hearing their own mom's scream but they don't find her.
