Containment Protocols: MST Juliett-08 ("For Whom the Treat Tolls") detachments are to be deployed in the metropolitan areas of all Halloween-celebrating countries each 31st of October. Units are required to deploy wearing costumes sourced from popular contemporary media. Detachments will be provided with five (5) tactical candy containment units in the image of pumpkins to appease RPC-931. One (1) of the containment units has been rigged with explosives and a full ration of Amazing! Co. "Black Sea Salt Liquorice" in the event of direct confrontation with the anomaly.
All units are strictly prohibited from partaking in trick-or-treating during deployment. Failure to follow regulations will result in immediate contract termination and dishonourable discharge for reckless endangerment of the platoon.
There currently are no methods of containing and/or preventing RPC-931's yearly manifestations.

Description: RPC-931 is a costumed humanoid entity manifesting every 31st of October from 19:00 to 24:00 EST in any country celebrating Halloween. RPC-931's change in appearance has made identifying it difficult over the years, although it has never been observed repeating costumes. A list of previous costumes includes:
- Stereotypical grandmother
- Skeleton
- Banker
- Skeleton (blue)
- Salt shaker1
- Stereotypical British judge
- Skeleton (red)2
Following manifestation, RPC-931 will visit each home in the surrounding residential area. Failure by home owners to provide RPC-931 with sugary sweets or alternative savoury treats (or a lack thereof) will result in RPC-931 retaliating against the offending individual(s).3 While no terminations have ever been recorded as a result of such surreptitious ploys, they have been described as "grandiose" in nature by present personnel. Examples to help identify RPC-931 victims are as follows:
Name: Timothy Mysore
Age: 16
Costume: Michael MyersVictim was found unconscious, suffering from various minor bruising across his torso deduced to be caused by a quick-fire onslaught of eggs. Subject suffered minor bruising on his left cheek as a result of a high-speed collision with a pumpkin-spice pumpkin pie, the remains of which were found scattered over the area.
Name: Martha Laurent
Age: 45
Costume: Erotic medical assistantMiss Laurent's house was covered in its entirety with pink foam sealant. After a 12-hour rescue operation with local authorities, Miss Laurent was safely recovered from her residence. The presence of a full bag of candy corn inside her kitchen is believed to be the reason for the lack of damage on the house's exterior.
Name: Jimmy McConnell
Age: 15
Costume: Generic cowboyVictim was found "crucified" to an 6ft skeleton Halloween prop through the use of toilet paper. The phrase "THIEF OF DUST AND SWEETS" was written on his chest with rainbow-colored sparkling permanent marker
Name: Jimmy Doyle

Mr. Doyle was found in a state of shock inside his bedroom, surrounded by hanging piñata sheep "corpses" slowly bleeding molten candy. Despite amnestization, Mr. Doyle appears to suffer from permanent sheep-related PTSD.
Recovered Material - RPC-931
At the scene of its last trick RPC-931 will leave behind a hand-written note (if possible) attached to its victim's body. The meaning behind this note has yet to be deciphered by Authority cryptographs.
