==Plot==
It’s Halloween, and Barney and his friends prepare for the big Halloween party at the school gym. From Indian corn to smiling jack-o-lanterns, the gym is aglow with the colors of fall. Meanwhile, BJ and Baby Bop are putting the final touches on their Halloween costumes as they get ready for a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating. Finally, evening arrives, the Halloween party begins, and the trick-or-treaters set out to search for goodies. Unfortunately, after a full night of trying, BJ comes up just a bit empty-handed. But when BJ and Baby Bop return to school, they soon find out that their friends have plenty of goodies and surprises waiting for them. Together the two learn that sometimes, the best treats at Halloween are good friends.
