From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Halloween Week is almost over...but Halloween is just beginning!
"It was nice visiting with Chuck and Susan, wasn't it?" - Pat
Braving the darkness tonight:
Jim Elie: Advertising account executive for two local newspapers, from San Diego, CA
Ron Robinson: Has his own security company, from Decatur, GA
Laura Nuto: Dance instructor operating a studio with her mother, also a recent university graduate, from Connellsville, PA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. No, we're not adding another BANKRUPT, as Chuck would do. We're going to be nice.
He blanks. He says FOLLOW, but he does not solve SLEEPY HOLLOW.
Jim solves YOU SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH.
Jim solves MOVIE CRITIC LEONARD MALTIN to keep the candy and trip.
"Boo!" I mean, we have a $5,000 space on the Wheel! Nothing to worry about here...
Jim reads what's on the board for the house minimum.
DING DING! DING DING!
However, we're almost out of time, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece. Ron begins.
Ron: T (DUD!)
Laura: R ($300)
Jim: L ($300)
Ron: G (DUD!)
Laura: S (x2) ($600)
Jim: M (x2) ($900)
Ron: C (x2) ($600)
Laura: N ($1,200)
Jim: P ($1,200)
Jim solves POLICE COMMISSIONER and sweeps the game!
Ron and Laura must have been tricked. They'll have to settle with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
PDMO will give him...
...as feared, another trick.

We might just have the prize for our colorful Wheel! It's a 3-day trip to San Francisco and tour of the Jelly Belly jellybean factory (labeled HALLOWEEN) worth $2,500.
Hopefully it was not a disturbing sleep for the $2,500 space or the $10,000 prize. Now they wake up for something good!

Pat and Vanna are sitting at a haunted table in the post-game. "So, how long have you been waiting to be a contestant on Wheel?" ...Pat says to a skeleton wearing a Wheel cap.
