Just a little correction of "formally" to "formerly".


It's Halloween, and the Ranger Teens are helping out at the Youth Center. Tommy escorts a group of kiddies dressed like Rangers out to trick-or-treating, only to have them turn out to be Putties. He's no match for them, and ends up sucked into the Dark Dimension. There, facing a Tombstone monster, Tommy is alone against a graveyard filled with formally-destroyed monsters!

-->'''Tommy:''' I thought we turned you into squash, Pumpkin Rapper.\\
'''Pumpkin Rapper:''' Maybe you did, but it's time to get sad! 'Cause of Lord Zedd's power, we're back and we're bad!



* DivideAndConquer: Zedd's plan is to isolate and defeat Tommy, as he's certain the other Rangers will fall without him.
* FairPlayVillain: Averted. The villains are thrilled to outnumber the three Rangers and bemoan how Jason, Zack, and Trini showing up makes things fair.



* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Goldar's initial suggestion basically amounted to fine-tuning Rita's plan from "Life's a Masquerade": have multiple monsters infiltrate a costume party instead of just send one really tough monster to do it. Zedd ignores this suggestion, preferring his Haunted Forest idea.



* RhymesOnADime: Pumpkin Rapper once again gladly indulges in this.
* SilenceYouFool: Zedd's reaction to Baboo getting sidetracked by talking about what kind of costume he wants to wear.



* ThisCannotBe: Zedd's frustrated response to the Rangers prevailing against multiple monsters at once.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The other monsters; especially Doomstone. We never hear from that key monster again either.

* DemotedToExtra: Doomstone's Dairanger counterpart was a recurring nuisance alongside two other monsters and appeared in at least three episodes. Doomstone doesn’t even have that going for him as he up and vanishes after the Pumpkin Rapper grows. The Three Gorma Stooges did have mecha fights, but never separately from each other, and filming a new one with just Doomstone would've been too expensive.

** The Gatekeeper (Key Jester) had two episodes as a threat in ''Dairanger'' whereas here he's a OneSceneWonder at best and a BigLippedAlligatorMoment at worst.

* InformedFlaw: Kimberly and Billy are worried that Tommy won't stand a chance against the monsters without his morpher. However, from what we see, Tommy does a pretty decent job at kicking monster butt even before the former-mentioned pair arrive. Even then, when they keep knocking back the old monsters, Alpha panics that they're completely surrounded despite a lot of evidence, to the contrary.



* OutOfFocus: Jason, Zack, and Trini don't appear unmorphed. This episode begins the arc of their departure from the show as by this point, their actors were gone, though they would of course remain in the intro.
