BUDDY: Halloween is an interesting
time of year around Carlo's.
I'm not really superstitious, but there's
something about this time of year
that just makes things feel a little unsettled.
Something weird always happens, and today is no exception.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
There's somebody here that would like to talk to you.
Hello.
How are you doing?
I'm Betty.
Hey, Betty.
It's great to meet you.
So today, Ralph brought a friend
down to the cake factory.
Being a friend of Ralph, you never
know what the hell to expect.
What kind of cake can I make you?
We need a coffin cake.
A coffin cake?
This I got to hear.
Me and my friends are vampires,
and I'm going to become a vampire,
and it's a really big event, and I'm very excited.
And I've been working up for five years,
and they finally accept me.
And it's going to be great, and I want a cake to celebrate it!
Only somebody you would know would--
I swear to God.
You see, it needs to be a big coffin,
like, the size of a person, like the size of him, actually.
- What? - Yeah.
And you know what?
We want a person inside the coffin.
It needs to open.
Actually, it'd be great if it was him
because he looks like the right kind of victim
that we want in there.
And when we cut into the cake, it's complete.
It's going to be taking place at the cemetery.
BUDDY (VOICEOVER): So now not only am I making a coffin cake
with a bleeding Danny inside, but I
got to deliver it to the middle of a frigging cemetery?
Halloween brings out all the crazies.
You're a vampire.
Danny's a werewolf.
Juan's a witch.
I mean, you fit in great here.
You got to take this seriously.
You're not taking me seriously. It's very serious.
It's very serious.
Listen, you want a vampire cake?
You want to say it's a vampire cake?
Do I technically believe that you're going to be a vampire?
No.
But you want a coffin cake that bleeds with a dead body
in it that looks like him?
Yeah.
All right, a vampire cake.
I don't know what it is about Halloween.
See you later.
I didn't think they were taking me really seriously.
I just feel like I may have to do something
to show them that I'm very serious about what
I'm talking about.
BUDDY (VOICEOVER): So here's my idea for this vampire cake.
First, we're going to build a full-sized coffin.
The bottom half will be a cake.
The top half will be a Danny lookalike made
out of Rice Krispie treats.
When you bite into this thing, it's going to bleed baby.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
To start, I get Maurizio and Steve
working on a coffin frame.
And you know, it's not easy because you got
to make the top part open, so you got to have a hinge,
and it's got to be just right.
Now we're good.
Oh, yeah.
BUDDY: And I got Ralph started on a Danny lookalike.
Betty wanted the blood to come out of the cake
when you cut into it, but I thought it would be better
to have the blood come out of the white holes
because, I mean, at the end of the day,
it's for a bunch of vampires, right?
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]
Hey, Danny.
What's the matter?
I don't have a big stomach like that, though.
Hang on.
Let me see.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]
OK, maybe we'll change it a little bit.
You got to make me a little skinny.
Easy, all right?
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[CHILLING MUSIC]
Hello, boys.
Kind of got a sense that I should show you some vampires
because I didn't really like the way some of the things
you were saying.
I just want to make sure that you guys are taking this
as seriously as it needs to be taken.
I just spent $12,000 grand on my orthodontist and look
what this guy did to his teeth.
Listen, I brought them because I
want you to understand how important this is to me
and how important this is to us.
Me joining the family, it's a big deal for me.
So I just want to make sure that you guys are taking this
as seriously as it needs to be taken.
OK, listen, I think the whole vampire thing is kind of out
of control and a little creepy, but she's
going to get the best cake I could possibly make
no matter how crazy she is.
We're very excited to make this vampire cake for you.
It's going to bleed.
It's going to look like him.
I mean, it's a life-sized coffin.
I think you guys are going to like it.
I'm in the business of making people happy.
Well, I hope I'm very happy because they
won't be if I'm not.
I still don't think you're taking us very seriously,
so I hope to see you at the event
when everything goes down.
I'll be there.
I'll be there with bells on.
I don't know if she brought her vampire friends
down to the bakery to scam me or something.
But I'm from Hoboken, baby.
We don't scare so easy here!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Halloween is always busy at Carlo's, and we
get tons of trick or treaters.
KIDS: Trick or treat!
Hi, guys.
Happy Halloween!
Trick or treat!
Hello, how are you?
You look very cute.
BUDDY: While it's always a fun day to be there,
I got to finish up and deliver this vampire cake.
Plus, I'm having my own Halloween party tonight.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey.
Good-looking.
What the hell are those things on his head?
He's got those things.
All right, I know maybe it doesn't
look like Danny right now.
But look at this.
Not Danny, Danny.
BUDDY: For this cake, we're going to use red velvet
cake with vanilla buttercream that we
added red food coloring to.
I feel like a mortician.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
BUDDY: With the cake part done, we start by painting
this coffin a nice wood grain.
We'll also add some gold details.
And I got Juan and Tiny making different creatures to put
on the outside of this coffin.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You like it?
He looks very peaceful.
He looks like he didn't put up a fight.
He just died for the vampires.
Ralph was very generous with your hair.
I was.
I'm just saying.
Then, we just have to get our dearly departed Danny inside.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Man, he just threw you in.
We add the tubing so that we can make
the blood come out of the vampire bites on Danny's neck.
We add a little material for the coffin.
And there you have it, a cake fit for a vampire!
All right, guys.
Come check it out.
It's just pretty creepy.
Yeah, that's really weird.
My hands don't look like that.
I don't like that.
It's someone that we know.
It looks like someone that we know.
Who would order this kind of cake?
I think it looks really cool.
All right, let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Freaking weirdo.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]
Where are these guys?
So I pull up to the cemetery, and we're
in the spot where they told us to deliver this cake,
and there's no one there.
No one at all.
