Fanon/Night Of The Livid Dead
Night Of The Livid Dead is the 7th episode of The Adventures Of Rayman, and is also the Halloween special.
Synopsis
It’s Halloween, and Rayman’s friends are ready for a spook-tacular night, though they are all in for a big surprise when they see real ghosts.
Plot
On Halloween night, Mr Dark is walking through a forest when he gets to a hillside. At the hillside is the door to the Land of the Livid Dead. Upon arrival, he finds Mister Death and Jack, who are guarding the door. He decides to distract them by throwing a rock at Mister Death, who thinks Jack did it. The two then start fighting, allowing Mr Dark to open the door, and after walking through the Land of the Livid Dead for a while, he is jump-scared by Ray of the Dead, who lunges out and yells “BOO!” This frightens Template:Fwnon, but only startles Mr Dark, who takes the inhabitants to the Dead Door, unleashing them into the living world, as Mister Death and Jack are still fighting.
Meanwhile, in the Teensy Village, Rayman is trick-or-treating with Globox and Barbara. Unbeknownst to them, they are being followed by Inspector Grub.

Trivia
-This episode is a spoof of the movie “Night Of The Living Dead.”
-The episode was originally going to be titled “Livid Dead”, but was changed because Benoraloha wanted to go for a more creative title.
-When Mister Death says “You’re in for a scare,” he may be referring to the TV show Goosebumps.
-Will Byers, a character from the show Stranger Things, makes a cameo as a trick-or-treater. This is because he featured in a Halloween trailer for Rayman Legends.
-In one of the shots from the second ghost chase, there is a bird’s eye view of the heroes running through a maze where the livid dead are pursuing them. This is a reference to the arcade game Pac Man.
-The whistling noise that Ray of the Dead makes is the same one that Death makes in the movie Puss In Boots: The Last Wish.
-The way the 6 friends scare the undead is a reference to Foxy’s jumpscare from Five Nights At Freddy’s 2.
-This marks the second episode to take place completely at night, the first one being Rabbid Infestation.
-The episode was originally going to be about the friends venturing into the Land of the Livid Dead rather than the inhabitants escaping.
-Although this is not the first appearance of Mister Death in the show, this marks his first major appearance, as he only made a brief cameo at the beginning of Chocolate And Coronavirus.
