Back in the town square, the lantern’s light expands, awakening the pumpkins — they open glowing eyes and begin humming a haunting melody. The skeleton boy watches in awe as the entire town starts to move, gears turning beneath the ground, windows lighting up with orange and blue glows. A giant clock tower creaks to life.
(End with the boy looking up as the moon suddenly blinks — transition via the blinking moon to next scene.)
