"Candy Monster" is the first animated short of Gravity Falls to air right in between season 1 and season 2. It premiered on October 14, 2013, along with "Stan's Tattoo", and is available for free on Disney Channel Monstober Vol. 3 on iTunes.

Official overview[]

Dipper and Mabel must go into full on battle mode against a mysterious creature when it leaps out of the rafters and steals their 'Summerween' candy.[1]

Synopsis[]

Short1 Dipper finger licking good

It's infinitely delicious.

Late at night, as Dipper concludes a section on his video recording of Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained on Gravity Falls anomaly #13, the "Mobius Chicken Strip", he is startled by a mysterious creature that starts to cause havoc in his room. He quickly alerts a sleeping Mabel, who in return tries to ignore Dipper, until he tells her that the creature is eating their leftover Summerween candy. Hearing this wakes up a terrified Mabel and then she and her brother try to investigate what this candy eating monster could be. After they are unable to come up with a clear conclusion, Dipper then titles this event as a new recording, Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained #76: "That Thing?"

Dipper tries to capture the monster.

Later, Dipper equips himself with golf clubs and a garbage can as weapons in addition to armor made out of five stuffed animals found in his room. He and Mabel are convinced to be able to capture the monster for science and candy. Enraged, Dipper then advances towards the creature in a matter to trap it by luring it with candy, but the monster catches on and flees away. Without hesitation, the twins run after the creature. The creature proves to be a problem for the twins to capture as it begins to make a mess of the Mystery Shack, wastes their candy and even attacks Dipper. When all seems lost, the monster accidentally steps on the TV remote and opens it to a movie. The TV has an hypnotic effect on the creature and calms it down. Shortly after, Dipper is also enthralled by the television.

After all is well, Dipper, Mabel, and the monster watch the movie together. Soos is seen saying hello to the twins and even the monster who he mistakes for Stan. Dipper then concludes the recording and says that the next one will "probably be about finding a way to get rid of the candy eating monster". This confuses Soos who asks the monster, who he believes to be Stan, what Dipper is talking about.
