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.
As lighting hits and thunder claps the TV turns on. The static on the TV can be seen and heard as the ground starts to quake. When Chris hits the floor the TV shuts off and magically turns into a Television Monster! The Monster is scared and runs away, going up the stairs to the second floor of Chris's house. Chris follows the monster until it hits a wall and falls to the floor.
Chris is scared and asks what he is. Teli does not speak english and Chris must figure out his name, and why he is here. Chris names him Teli, and the rest is history!
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
