Its raining in NYC, and Chris is in his basement trying to fix his old TV (well his mothers basement, he is Greek American and can not leave the house until he is married). He laughs hysterically and his mother calls down to him "What the hell are you doing!", "Nothing!" Chris answers and gets back to work.
Suddenly a big burst of lighting hits and the ground shakes. The Television turns on and static noise is heard. As Chris falls to the floor The TV turns into Teli. The Barney like monster shaped live a TV comes to life and runs through Chris's home! Chris chases him up the stairs to the second floor of his home where Teli hits the wall and falls to the floor.
"Where the hell are you from?", "What is your name?" Chris asks before he realizes that the Monster does not speak english! He must name the new monster and Chris chooses the name Teli. Teli is a good Monster and means no harm, and so a happy ending is had to this Halloween story.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"), attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular,[17][18][19] although in other locations, these solemn customs are less pronounced in favor of a more commercialized and secularized celebration.[20][21][22] Because many Western Christian denominations encourage, although most no longer require, abstinence from meat on All Hallows' Eve,[23][24] the tradition of eating certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day developed, including the consumption of apples, colcannon, cider, potato pancakes, and soul cakes. All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain. Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots
