In Spooky Month proper, they are both [[FearlessFool fearless fools]] who's [[BornLucky insane luck]] is probably the only reason why they're still safe and sound. Here, they're still kids and have some sort of innocence, but they're not stupid enough to not think that Monster wants to eat them.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: While Monster has always been an EldritchAbomination in canon, [[spoiler: here he WasOnceAMan, and only became a monster when he fell down the elevator shaft while wearing his monster costume.]]
