"Wavy Caps" are a nickname for Psilocybe cyanescens, a variety of psychedelic mushroom commonly found in the PNW in late summer and fall. Mushrooms and gnomes have long been associated in folklore and drug-use circles.
Tripping on mushrooms for Halloween (when P. Cyans are fruiting) is a rite of passage for many psychonauts. Psychedelics are non-addictive and many casual users only imbibe once or twice a year.
I believe that the "Crazy Gnome" is Isaac under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, stripped of ego and re-experiencing once familiar surroundings.
