Oscar starts the scary sounds up again, but while everyone is still on to him, they decide to fake their fright and run about being chased by objects flying around on wires with spooky howling and flashes of thunder and lightning. They all mockingly huddle up to Oscar asking him to protect them from all the scariness, so Oscar reveals his gag and assures everyone it's all fake.
