What drives the episode is Dipper trying to grow up too quickly while Mabel wants to enjoy getting candy with Dipper in Twin costumes. The episode does have some fantastic Halloweeny pleasures, from Soos obsessing over a decoration skeleton head that tells puns, to Grunkle Stan trying to scare some children. Dipper angers the Summerween Trickster in the process, which forces Dipper to trick-or-treat for 500 pieces of candy before the last jack-o’-melon (using watermelons instead of pumpkins as jack-o’-lanterns) is blown out to appease the Trickster or die. Dipper and Mabel plan to go trick or treating, but Dipper wants to ditch her for a party with Wendy. With that said, “Summerween” is specifically about a version of Halloween set over the summer because the people of Gravity Falls love Halloween so much they have it twice. Alex Hirsch’s modern gem is full of scream-worthy imagery.
