He began the segment by saying, "It's going to be chilly in Mt Mystery, Washington tomorrow night. Howling winds will be present around the Great Lakes."

"Transylvania, Louisiana, 50 degrees," playfully remarked Roker in a Dracula accent.

He continued to provide weather updates for various locations while highlighting entertaining, horror-themed spots across the country.
