♪♪
Tonight, these three players will go trick-or-treating
for Big Bucks. [ Evil laughter ]
But they'll have to avoid ghosts...
[ Thunder crashing ] ...goblins,
and the Whammy! [ Cheers and applause ]
From Television City in Hollywood,
it's time to press your luck!
[ Theme music plays ] [ Maniacal laughter, wolf howling ]
And now, here to grant some wishes and make some magic,
our resident fairy godmother, Elizabeth Banks.
Elizabeth: Hello!
Welcome to our first-ever
"Press Your Luck" Halloween Spooktacular.
Look at this stage!
[ Wolf howling ] [ Cheers and applause ]
We have three Halloween lovers
ready to scare up some cash tonight.
Let's go meet them.
[ Theme music plays ] [ Maniacal laughter, wolf howling ]
She's the self-proclaimed Queen of Halloween --
from New Castle, Pennsylvania -- say hello to Barbara!
Hi, everybody! Hi, Elizabeth! [ Cheers and applause ]
A paramedic and Halloween superfan
from San Mateo, California -- give it up for Adam.
Happy Halloween, everybody! [ Cheers and applause ]
And finally, he's a Halloween scare actor
from Pennsauken, New Jersey -- please welcome Isiah, everyone.
Hello-o-o-o-o! [ Cheers and applause ]
How are you? Happy Halloween.
Welcome and good luck to all three of you.
Tonight you get to take on the Big Board.
It is loaded with cash and treats,
and every time you stop the board, like this --
Stop! -- you add money to the bank, just like that.
The player with the most cash and prizes in their bank
at the end of Round 2 gets to keep it
and goes on to our bonus game for a shot at $1 million!
[ Cheers and applause ]
First things first. Let's earn some spins.
Here we go.
Norman terrorized the Bates Motel.
Jason terrorized Camp Crystal Lake.
But according to the name of a 1984 film,
what street did Freddy -- Isiah.
Elm Street.
What street did Freddy terrorize?
Barbara, is the answer Elm Street,
Jump Street, Fleet Street?
Elm Street.
What do you think, Adam? It's Elm Street.
Freddy terrorized Elm Street in "A Nightmare on Elm Street"!
[ Cheers and applause ] So Barbara picked up a spin,
Adam picked up spin, and Isiah up three spins.
Question 2 -- You've finally found your dream home.
It's got everything.
There's only one problem. It's haunted.
According to a 2023 Zillow survey,
out of every five prospective home buyers,
how many said they could be convinced to buy a haunted house
if it had desirable features?
Adam. I'm gonna say four out of five.
Barbara, is it four out of five,
two out of five, three out of five?
I'm gonna say two out of five.
What do you think, Isiah?
I'm gonna say two out of five.
The answer is two out of five!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Barbara got one.
Adam, I'm sorry. No spins for you.
Isiah got one.
Question 3 -- It follows the word "My"
in the title of an Usher and Alicia Keys song.
But if you shout it suddenly, it becomes what iconic syllable
a ghost would say to scare you?
Isiah.
"Boo"?
"Boo." Okay.
Barbara, is it "Boo," "Eek," "Oof"?
I'm gonna go with "Boo." What do you think, Adam?
I'm gonna go with "Boo."
It is, of course, the song "My Boo."...
which means Barbara picked up a spin,
bringing her total to three, Adam picked up a spin, for two,
and Isiah, three spins for a total of seven.
Now let's see if we can turn these spins into cash,
because it's time to take on the Big Board.
Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Theme music plays ] [ Cheers and applause ]
Witches and werewolves and Whammies -- Oh, my.
Welcome back to our special Halloween Spooktacular edition
of "Press Your Luck."
Adam's the winner of Round 1, with $8,250 in his bank.
Before we jump in Round 2,
let's learn a bit more about our fabulous contestants.
Barbara, you are the queen of Halloween.
I love Halloween.
From October 1st, I go into Halloween mode.
Okay.
We do haunted hay rides at my daughter's house,
who lives on, like, a farm.
It's just awesome.
But the main thing I love most is doing a Halloween car wash.
What is a Halloween car wash?
People get in their cars. They want to get a car wash.
Yeah. They line up.
We go around and we scare.
And kids scream, and they cry.
We put our heads in the windows.
We open up the doors.
And these are little kids, and these parents don't care.
I mean, they love, love to see their kids scream.
It's awesome.
I mean, it literally sounds like so much fun.
It sounds like you're taking children's tears to wash cars.
That's what the parents want.
[ Laughs ] Well, welcome, Barbara.
We're so glad you're here on "Press Your Luck."
Thank you. Tell me about yourself, Adam.
So I'm a paramedic.
I'm in the emergency room now,
but I was on the ambulance for a decade before that.
Wow. What I love most about it is that, you know,
even if it's just for 10 or 15 minutes
to be able to talk to somebody that's not having a good day.
Yeah. It feels really good, and it's very satisfying.
You're a Halloween superfan. What does that mean?
I'm actually wearing the outfit I wore
when I got married. [ Laughter ]
We had a Halloween wedding. You got married on Halloween?
I married my wife in the bar that we met.
We completely decked it out from floor to ceiling.
It was a full-on, costume Halloween wedding.
Oh. So fun! Well, welcome, Adam.
Good luck tonight. Thank you.
Isiah, you're a scare actor from Pennsauken, New Jersey.
Yes. Yes. [ Laughs ] What does that mean?
So for the past three years or so,
I've worked at multiple haunted mazes
as different things.
I've been a man-eating plant.
I've been a victim of a murderous yeti.
And I've actually been the werewolf,
so that's why I decided to get into this get-up today.
Amazing. [ Cheers and applause ]
So you, like, jump out and, like, scare people, right?
Oh. Yeah. What does it look like?
Oh, I can show you.
Yeah. So just -- You just go...
Rrr! ...like that. Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
Every like five to seven seconds
for 45 minutes at a time, just -- repeated motion.
I love it. Whenever people walk in,
I want to send them back the other way.
That's how I want to scare people.
Very fun. Well, Isiah, good luck tonight.
Welcome. Thank you. Thank you.
Let's get back into the game, shall we?
It's time for Round 2. Here we go.
I'm gonna need the lights down...
[ Thunder crashes ] ...for this one.
Oh!
Imagine Halloween has ended.
But your terror has just begun.
[ Laughs ] Yeah.
[ Maniacal laughter ]
You find yourself surrounded by dancing skeletons
of your own family and friends, back from the beyond!
[ Laughs ] Just kidding.
That's not scary at all.
I, of course,
am talking about the very joyous celebration in Mexico
that remembers loved ones.
It's called Día de los Muertos,
or, as it's known in English, Day of the?
Isiah.
Dead.
Barbara, Is it Dead, Daisies, Dust?
Dead.
What do you think, Adam? It's dead.
It's, of course, the Day of the Dead.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That means Barbara picked up a spin,
Adam picked a spin, and Isiah picked up three spins.
Question 2.
It's a popular time of day to start trick-or-treating,
a trippy TV zone,
and the name of a young-adult book series about --
Adam. Twilight.
...book series about vampires and werewolves.
What word am I looking for?
Barbara, is it "twilight," "sunset," "5:15"?
Twilight.
Isiah? Twilight.
It is, of course, twilight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Barbara picked a spin, Adam got three spins,
and Isiah picked up a spin.
All right.
According to last year's report
by the National Retail Federation,
Halloween shoppers said the costume they most wanted
for their pet was what iconic symbol of Halloween
that's also a popular term of endearment?
[ Buzzer sounds ] Audience: Oh!
Nobody rang in.
Barbara, was I looking for candy corn, pumpkin, witch?
Pumpkin. What do you think, Adam?
It's pumpkin. Isiah.
Pumpkin.
Of course it's pumpkin, pumpkins!
So Barbara picked up a spin,
Adam picked up a spin, and Isiah picked up a spin.
Last question. Here we go.
Everybody loves the neighbor who gives out big candy bars,
but what two-word term did the Mars candy company coin
back in 1968 for those little half-ounce bars
that kids grab by the handful every Halloween?
Adam? Fun Size.
Barbara, is it Fun Size, Party Size, Pint Size?
Fun Size.
Isiah? Fun Size.
Of course it's Fun Size! [ Cheers and applause ]
So, Barbara, you picked a spin, bringing your total to four.
Adam picked up three spins, for eight.
And Isiah picked up a spin, for six.
What do you think?
Do we need a little sugar rush to get us to the Big Board?
Whammy! Help us out. We're all in the mood for candy!

I'm gonna pass it. That's you, Adam.
Boom. Whoo!

You have an incredible supporter here with you tonight. Yes.
Hi, Elizabeth! This is my wife, Shirley.
Hi, Shirley.
Shirley is, first off, the love of my life,
my soul mate, my best friend,
and I would not even think about coming on this stage
without her.
How did you two meet?
Shirley was my bartender at my favorite bar.
I would go with my buddy on Sundays,
and we would just watch football.
Then one time we're there, she served us a couple drinks,
and my friend says,
"I really think there's something happening there."
I said, "All right. I'm gonna ask her out.
And if she says yes, then amazing.
And if she says no, I am never coming back again."
Never coming to this bar again!
[ Laughter, applause ] Exactly.
Well, luckily, you got to keep your bar...
Yes.
...and you got a wife! And I got a wife out of it.
Shirley, why did you pick a Halloween wedding?
Because we absolutely love Halloween.
And one day, it just came to me.
I was like, "Bro, we're getting married on Halloween."
And he was like, "Yes!"
[ Laughter, applause ]
Elizabeth: I love it.
So you are in your costumes that you wore at your wedding...
Adam: Yes. Yes.
...on "Press Your Luck."
We are honored.
All right. Good luck to everyone.
Adam, you are gonna face off against the Whammy
over five rounds.
At the end of each round, you can take
whatever cash and prizes you've made, walk away
or press your luck and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the board.
If you make it to our final round, the Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000, but...
Ooh! [ Cheers and applause ]
...there are still Whammies out there.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game.
If your bank in the bonus game ever reaches $500,000,
the game is magically over,
because we bump those winnings right up to a million dollars!

the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.

I just wanted to think, like, "What could I give Ethan?"
And this is what I came up with.
And the fun of it is you can play the games with him.
[ Laughing ] Yeah.
Let's put Ethan's Gaming Room on the board.
Because you were so generous with that prize,
we want to give you something else.
Show him what it is.

to spend a week at the Stanley Hotel,
the hotel that inspired
Stephen King's classic horror novel "The Shining."
Yeah. [ Laughs ]
Oh, my God.
We're also including "Shining" movie memorabilia.
That's my favorite movie.
I think it's a perfect movie. This is insane.

We were going to go to Puerto Rico,
and we paid for the trip and everything,
and then at the last minute, his job -- something happened.
Oh! So we lost...
Yeah. We lost all the money for the trip.
And we've never been able to put it back together.
So this is the honeymoon that we wanted to take.

This would mean a lot.

[ Laughing ] [ Audience booing ]
Boo!
Well, the good news is that round is over.
[ Laughs ] All right.
You ended up with zero dollars. Three Whammies on the board.
Now, the good news is in Round 3,
we double up the Big Bucks to $50,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And now seems like a good time
to add another prize to the board.
I want to cheer you up, Adam.
This is in store for you.
It's a Toyota Tacoma.
Oh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my God.
We have a truck now, but it's a two-seater.
And right down the street from me
is where my mom and my brother Ethan live.
My mom doesn't drive anymore. Ethan doesn't drive.
So any time we, like, want to go out to dinner
or even just, you know, appointments or whatever,
I have to borrow a car.
So this truck does everything that I need for my family.
Oh, let's get this truck up on the board for Adam!
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I have got to throw back in --
Ethan's Gaming Room is back up on the board!
All right! Whoo!
We don't let the Whammy have those things here.
That is all up on this board. The Big Bucks are worth $50,000.
You only have to avoid this Whammy three times,
and Lose a Whammy is still on the board.
Good luck, Adam. Make this count.
Come on!
Come on, big money. This is your night.
Come on. We need some prizes.
Let's get that truck. Let's lose a Whammy!
No Whammies. No Whammies.
And stop!
Puerto Rico! [ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!
The only way to win is to spin.
Big Bucks now. Here we go. Come on, Big Bucks.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
I bet I know what you want to do.
I just need to hear you say it, Adam.
Lose that Whammy.
Whoo! Lose the Whammy.
[ Chimes ring ] Whammy: Whaaa!
[ Laughs ]

And stop!
Whoo!
Five thousand, fifty dollars.

Bibbidy-bobbidy-boo. We are out of that round!
Adam, that was a big round for you.
You picked up that beautiful vacation.
$44,418 in the bank.
[ Cheers and applause ] You do have two Whammies.
You can walk away
or you can stay and press your luck in Round 4,
where the Big Bucks jump up to an incredible $75,000.
[ Suspenseful music playing ]
Big decision.
[ Audience shouting indistinctly ]
I know that that trip for both of us
is something we really want.
Yeah.
But I also know that there's no way
we would both want to walk away right now.
So I'm gonna press my luck! Wow!
[ Cheers and applause ] [ Maniacal laughter ]
Shirley's happy about it. All right.
Well, then we get to take a look
at your final personalized prize.
Show him what it is.
It's a wake boat... Oh, my God.
...and two Sea-Doos.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We live 10 minutes from a river,
and within 30 minutes, we're at two completely different lakes,
and there's a lot of water toys out there.
But, you know, we don't have any.
Right. But we want them.
This would be so dope.
This would be dope.
We need this.
A wake boat and Sea-Doos would be so dope.
And we are gonna play for them
when "Press Your Luck"'s Halloween Spooktacular
returns right after this.
[ Theme music plays ] [ Cheers and applause ]
[ Maniacal laughter ] Oh, my goodness.
[ Theme music plays ]
Welcome back. [ Wolf howling ]
We are putting the wake boat and Sea-Doos
up on the board for Adam!
Adam: Whoo!
We're in Round 4, where the Big Bucks are at $75,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Three spins. Take it away.
Let's go.
Okay. Come on. I want that Tacoma.
Let's go home in that Tacoma.
No Whammies. And stop!
Twelve thousand! Whoo! [ Laughs ]
And you picked up a spin.
Yes!
Three more.
Come on, Tacoma.
Ethan, let's get you that gaming room!
Big Bucks. Seventy-five.
And stop!
Six thousand! Whoo! [ Laughs ]
And another spin.
Keep going. It's so fun.
Let's keep winning. No Whammies.
Tacoma. No Whammies.
And stop!
[ Sour note plays ] No!
[ Audience groans ]
I think your money's out of this world.
[ Electricity crackling ]
Shirley: Boo! [ Boing! ]
[ Audience booing ]
Boo!
Three Whammies. This is the danger zone.
Four Whammies puts you out of this game.
But the Big Bucks are worth $75,000.
You can come back in no time.
I like that.
What you really want is the Toyota Tacoma
and the wake boat and the Sea-Doos.
And they're all still up there for you to get.
Well, let's win 'em! Yeah.
I am saying the curse -- Begone, Whammy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's make it happen! Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Big Bucks. No more Whammies.
Let's get that Tacoma.
Anything but a Whammy. Anything but a Whammy.
Stop!
Ten thousand dollars. Whoo!
Yes!
Boom. In the bank.
One more spin in this round.
Anything but a Whammy, and you are putting money in the bank.
Here we go!
A lot of good prizes up there.
Anything but a Whammy.
Come on. Finish on a win. Anything but a Whammy.
Come on. Let's get the new truck.
No Whammies. Big Bucks.
Stop!
No! Oh, my God.
Wow. All right.

Oh, no! I have a splitting headache.
Adam, I'm so sorry. That is your fourth Whammy.
That means the game is over for you tonight.
What a ride it's been.
I hope you've had a great time.
I had the time of my life.
I know the Whammy got the best of you,
but the good news is you are going home a winner.
Chris, remind everyone what Adam is taking home tonight.
Look at this.
Congratulations, Adam.
