Panel 1 : Int. Suburban Home – Night

A young Kevin, dressed in a cheap E.T. Halloween costume, stands in a neighbor’s doorway. He holds up an orange plastic jack-o-lantern tub for candy.

“As an 80s kid, my Halloween costumes were kinda weak.”
Panel 2 : Int. Suburban Home – Night

Same setup a year later. Kevin now wears a cheap costume of Gizmo from Gremlins.

“Store-bought costumes were usually just a flimsy mask and a picture of the character on a thin plastic smock.”
Panel 3 : Int. Suburban Home – Night

Same setup a year later. Kevin now wears a cheap costume of He-Man.

“But as crappy as they were, I wish that style of costume was still around today…”
Panel 4 : Int. Suburban Home – Night

Same setup, present day.

“…So I could dress up as my current favorite character:”

An adult Kevin stands in the doorway, wearing a cheap George Clooney mask and plastic smock with the actor’s photo on it and the logo of the movie Michael Clayton.
