I just heard your freaking phone.

You know I hate this Halloween shit.

You dumped me, remember?

- [Harry] Howling Harry here. (howling)

Talking with Mayor West about his campaign

and, more importantly,

our town's Big Halloween birthday bash.

- [Curtis] (laughing) Yeah, thank you.

Thanks, thanks for having me on, Harry.

The polls are looking great.

My wife and son have been so supportive

and we're excited to celebrate.

Yes and, and this year is
gonna blow everyone's minds.

(dramatic suspenseful music)

- [Nita] Remember, sweetie, come straight-

- Straight home. I know.

- We worry.

- At first I was a little
unsure, but now I think I got it.

You want me to come straight home.

- Yeah, you keep that attitude up

I'll start picking up after school too.

- Let's just pull me out altogether.

You could homeschool me.

- Sweetie, look, I know
this is hard for you.

The doctor said-

- I know what the doctor
said, but I'm fine, honest.

- Oh, we should've waited
to come back to town.

You could've-
- But I didn't. I'm fine.

I'm gonna be late to school, but I'm fine.

- Come straight home.

- Love you too.

(faint student chattering)

♪ He's coming back for you ♪

♪ Coming back for you ♪

- Ooh!
- Hi, Hadley. (giggling)

So?
- What?

- [Payton] You can act
stupid all you want,

but I'm just gonna keep pestering you.

- My mom's just really
weird about me doing stuff.

It's kinda like house arrest.

- You make it sound like you
like legit killed someone.

- Nobody actually died.

- Shit, uh, Hadley. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to, I just spaced.

- It's okay.

- Look, I know it's been forever,

but we used to be besties.

You can tell me, I mean, if you want.

- Forever's a long time.

- Sorry, I mean, sixth grade was like-

- Honestly, I'm, I'm just
not ready to talk about it.

I'm, I'm just trying to
get used to being back.

(Adam yells and laughs)

- Cut it out. PDA is strictly forbidden.

- I'm still trying to get used to that.

- She ain't around. I checked.

What's up, Hadley?
- Hey, Adam.

Have you heard from Campbell?

- (scoffs) No. Lila gave him
the (clicks tongue) old boot,

so he's probably off crying
like a little bitch right now.

I'll check on him later.

(Dacey growls)

(Dacey laughing)

- It's nice to see some
people haven't changed.

Are you seriously wearing

a different Halloween costume every day

for the rest of the week?

- It's my civic dut-, duty. Okay?

Look okay, I know you haven't been back

to our little paradise of town in a while,

but I'm about to give you a
little refresher course, okay.

The week of Halloween here,
it's like a free-for-all.

- No, I-
- Feel like free-for-all

is a bit much?
- Uh, hmm?

The costumes, candy

and (gasps) my personal
favorite skipping class.

- What? I think that's just you.

- [Payton] Well, you never
got to go to the dance.

It's the best part. They go all out.

- No-no, the corn maze
on the way to the dance,

now that's the best part.

- Hmm. Sounds like kid stuff.

- No, it's more of like
a make-out situation.

So it's a hard R. Definitely
not for the kiddies though.

- Well, you know, you
came back just in time.

It's our town's 300th B-day so,

of course, it's gonna be like a big to-do.

Like hoping people come
for the decorations

and the festivities
just like they used to.

- Our town was founded on Halloween,

so it's kind of a tradition.

- Hey, guys, I know I'm from here.

I just moved like three towns
away, not to fricking space.

- Hey, you. Yeah, you.

Pride of Jacobs High.

It's the one, the only
sexy man, Kagan West.

Hello.
- Hello. Shut up.

- [Dacey] Uh, the mouth over here

says that you don't wanna
go to the dance this year.

Oh, Kagan's gonna be disappointed.

- No, I didn't say I didn't wanna go.

I said I'm not allowed to go.

- Oh, is that because your ex-boyfriend

tried to kill you last Halloween?

(apprehensive music)

- Oh, not exactly.

- Hey, you wanna head to class?

- I've, literally, never
wanted to be in class

more than I do right now.

(apprehensive music continues)

- What? What?

Everybody's wondering, okay.

(apprehensive music continues)

- [Principal] Attention students,

Spirit Week is in full swing

and dance tickets are still on sale.

And guys, let's not forget,

get your votes in on
Student Council President.

(apprehensive music fades)
(school bell ringing)

- Hey, I'm telling you, you
should start brown-bagging it.

- I forgot about the holiday-themed food.

- Hey, I'm sorry about Dacey.
He's always been like that.

- Oh yeah, I remember. It's okay.

My doctor said it's human nature

for people to be curious, so.

- I know, but it still
doesn't make it right.

- Hey, where were you last night?

- What are you, my mom?

Don't worry about it.

(paper thuds)

(phone notifications beeping)
(phones ringing)

- What's going on?

(student gasping)

- I'm gonna be sick.

- I, uh, I think I know where Campbell is.

(suspenseful music)

- What?
- Just look at your phone.

- [Kagan] No, do not.

(dramatic booming)

(suspenseful music)

- Does Lila know?

I mean, has anyone seen her?

- [Dacey] I haven't seen
her since last night.

- Can't you ask your
uncle if he's seen her?

I mean there's gotta be some perks

with him being the sheriff, right?

- That's not exactly how that works.

- I'm just-
- I just thought

he was sticking me with all the work.

- I hear it was Lila who strung
his ass up like a scarecrow.

- Hmm, good. The dick deserved it.

Always talking shit.

Always thinking they were
better than this place.

- Or maybe she's the next
on the graduating list.

(both laughing)
- Hey!

Quit being assholes, you guys.

- What? He's always acted so, so superior.

So was that little slut

he was fucking, too.
- Keep talking.

- Yeah? Yeah?
- Fucking get out of here.

- [Kagan] Adam, it isn't worth it.

Just keep walking.

- Oh yeah, Adam, why
don't you fall in line?

Pretty boy here's talking.

- Somebody's starting our
town's birthday off with a bang.

And don't act like it's
not good for your old man,

Special K.

(blows thudding)
(group clamoring)

- I swear to god.
- Enough!

- Stop it!
(group clamoring)

- I said enough!

- Somebody needs to teach
you some fucking respect!

- Take your bitch ass-
- You three,

my office, now.

- Mom, they didn't start it.

- Young lady. Get to class.

You too, Miss Briggs.

Toni, get him to the nurse's office

and take a detour to mine.

Miss Briggs, I know this may
stir up some bad memories,

but I suggest you get
moving to your next class.

(footsteps crunching)

- I'm sorry, guys. I
don't know what happened.

- Those guys are dicks.

I mean I agree,

I think everyone should
show respect for traditions.

But (sighs), what?

I, I just think guys like
that, they'll get theirs.

- Stop talking. (sighs)

(students chattering)
(phones ringing)

- Ladies, don't make me ask you again.

- Sorry, mom-

- It's my fault, ma'am.

I wanted to check on Kagan

and I just didn't wanna come by myself.

- I understand how upsetting this all is

and we want to keep everyone
as safe as possible.

So please get to class.

And sweetheart, I don't
want you walking home

with Lila still missing.

(Payton sighs)

I don't wanna take any chances.

Wait for me and I'll give you a lift.

- Oh, Mom.
- This is not

up for discussion.

Now, get to class.

(phones ringing)

(Morris sighs)

- What? Come on, Mrs.
M, that's my ride home.

- You used it as a weapon.

- Well, uh, I didn't actually

hit anybody with it, so. (snickers)

- You know, I'm disappointed in you boys.

Especially you, Kagan.

These are the things we'd expect

from Mr. Carter and Mr. Hudson.

But you? What will your father say?

- Well, as long as it doesn't
affect his reelection,

I don't think he'll care, ma'am.

- Don't make me regret this.
I'm not going to expel you.

You will be attending detention
for the rest of the year

and helping with the school
dance, especially cleanup after.

And keep in mind, one more incident,

(chuckles) and I mean one
more, and all of you are gone.

- Okay, well, I'm not a janitor
and dance committee's lame.

(foot bangs)

(groaning) I mean, thank you.

Thank you so much.

- I think you boys need to go
home, start fresh tomorrow.

I'll be putting in calls
to all your parents.

The sheriff may also have some questions.

- Looks like it pays to be
friends with the golden boy, huh?

Lucky us.

- Adam, I'm not blind.

Stay away from my daughter.

(apprehensive music)
I assure you,

you don't wanna cross me.

(apprehensive music fades)

(door slams)

- Uh, let's see. Uh, last week we...

Uh, I'm sorry,

You guys just go ahead and
read the chapter on your own.

- He's friends with Campbell's mom, right?

- You know I heard that he went insane

and just started wailing on Mitchel,

like a complete psycho.

- He went from Mr. Nice guy

to homicidal maniac. (giggles)

Maybe he helped Lila off Campbell.

You know, they said
they haven't found her.

- What if she's dead?

- Look, I get it.

It's been a while since
I've been back here,

but I did think this town
had a little more class

than what you two bitches are showing,

- Hadley Briggs, that's enough!

- Don't worry. I'll excuse myself.

(class bell rings)

(students chattering)

(students chattering)

- Hey. Hey, wait up.

Is it possible for you
to stay out of trouble?

- It doesn't seem like it.

- Look, can you just slow
down for have a second?

- I, look I just, I need some air.

- Okay, I'll totally come with you.

It saves me the ride home with my mom.

- Normally I would be
all down for the company,

but it just, it's been a really heavy day

and I think I'm just gonna
skip the next two periods.

I don't wanna get you in any more trouble

with your mom, so-
- No worries.

I'll call you later.

(reflective music)

(reflective music continues)

(reflective music continues)

(reflective music continues)

(reflective music continues)

(car horn blares)

- (laughing) Hey, hey,
let me give you a lift.

It'll be the last thing I do

before my dad takes my car.

- Nah, probably not a good idea.

- Look, I should apologize for earlier.

I was out of line and I know
with your last boyfriend-

- No, no, that's not it. Trust me.

I get the freak out.

- So why is it a bad thing?

- I know you know what happened, uh,

and well, now my mom has me
sort of on a short leash.

- Right, well, I don't
normally listen to gossip,

but if I heard correctly,

I would assume under the circumstances

your mom wouldn't want you walking alone.

- I like your logic.

(heavy breathing)

(foreboding music)

- [Harry] What was thought to be

an amazing Halloween decoration is,

in fact, a grizzly murder site.

Should the annual Halloween
dance be canceled?

Caller one, what do you think?

- [Caller] The dance is tradition

and my kids deserve to
go trick or treating.

- [Harry] Well, tradition is important.

Caller two, what about you?

- [Caller] Of course the-

- So, what's the damage?

- Oh, you haven't heard?

Oh, my good old dad sure has.

Uh, Mrs. Morris was pretty cool about it.

Detention, dance setup slash
cleanup, you know, free labor.

- Try to sound less excited

that you're not kicked out of school.

- I am. I am.

It's just, it feels like we're
using this horrible tragedy

as a way to stay out of trouble.

Not to mention another
horrible mess for my dad

to hold over my head.

- Is he pissed?
- Yeah, a little.

Only because it puts a damper

on his platform of family and community.

He'll take my car for a bit,
just to keep up appearances

and he'll make me do some public apology.

You know whatever makes him look good.

- How'd you know where I live now?

- Oh, would it be weird if
I said I was spying on you?

- Yes. (laughs)
- Oh, okay.

Not that. (laughs)

(seatbelt whirs)

(dog barking)

- Everything's changed.

- Not everything.

I've still got a huge crush on you.

(romantic music)

Oh my god, sixth-grade me's
freaking out right now.

(both laughing)

Hey, I'm surprised. Uh, the decorations.

I, I thought you would've
hated Halloween by now.

- I actually love it.

But now just after it's, it's just hard.

- Can I see it?

- It's not that bad.

- Hadley!
- Oh.

- [Hadley] Um, I gotta go.

Uh, she's just gonna keep staring.

- Um-mm. Oh hey, uh, I was serious.

My dad is gonna take my car.

So you wanna walk with me tomorrow?

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'll, I'll see what I can do
on the house arrest front.

- All right. (chuckles)

- You're home early? Something wrong?

- Nope, just a teacher thing.

- Oh, okay.

So it's not about the body
they found or the fight?

I got an anonymous text,
so I called your uncle.

Apparently, the entire town
has seen these pictures.

- I didn't want you to worry.
It has nothing to do with me.

- Okay-
- And, and the fight,

it's also not me related.

- A boy was murdered.

He was found in a costume

with Happy Halloween carved in his chest.

Sounds really familiar.

- Mom, he's locked up

and you know what really happened.

You know, he wasn't trying.

- I know he's not happy with
your version of the truth.

- You guys were the ones
that told me to lie,

so maybe his problem should be with you.

(apprehensive music)

(apprehensive music continues)

(Hadley sighing)

(apprehensive music continues)

(suspenseful music)

- Okay.
(suspenseful music continues)

Dick.
(sign thuds)

(hammer banging)

(suspenseful music continues)

(heavy breathing)

(foreboding music)

(dramatic foreboding music)

(phone loudly ringing)

- Hey. Hey, Dad.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm finishing putting up-

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I'm, I'm finishing
putting up the signs right now.

Okay. Okay, bye.
(heavy breathing)

(foreboding music)

(blow thuds)
(blood splashes)

(killer heavily breathing)
(sinister music)

(phone vibrating)
(sinister music continues)

(gentle knocking)

- Come in.

- Hey.
(door clicks)

Sorry about earlier.

I was just so worried.

I didn't even ask you how you were doing.

I know, I know this has
gotta be so hard on you.

Before we moved,

I know you and Campbell were really close.

I remember you guys making
mud pies in the backyard

and running through the corn fields.

(melancholy music)

(melancholy music continues)

- He must've been so scared, Mom.

Who could do that to somebody?

(melancholy music continues)

- People are complex.

Some can be pure evil.

(melancholy music continues)

(Hadley sniffling)

- Listen, your father and I
have been talking to your uncle

and given what happened last Halloween,

they wanna put a detail on
the house and the school.

- Mom, this doesn't happen.

- No, it's just a precaution.

(melancholy music continues)

- I love you too.

(melancholy music continues)

- Try to get some rest, okay?

(melancholy music continues)

(Hadley sniffling)

(Hadley sighing)

(melancholy music swells)

(ominous music)

- Look, no, no, no.
(blood squirting)

(ominous music)

(killer breathing heavily)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music swells)

(ominous music fades)

- Um-um.
- (sighs) Hey.

I know what you're gonna say.

However, I'm hoping
you'll make an exception

and let me walk to school today.

- Hmm, I don't think so. Not with-

- What if I told you Kagan
wants to walk with me?

- Kagan? Hmm?

The Kagan West?

Hmm. He's always been so
polite and handsome. (chuckles)

Go, go be a teenager.

- Really?
- Well, school's close

and you're still gonna
have the police detail, so.

- Whatever. I'll take it.

(door bangs)

(foreboding music)

- Trick or treat!
- Oh, my god!

- [Kagan] Sorry.

Sorry, my bad.
- I'm sorry.

- Oh.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- [Kagan] Hey, what's with the cop?

- That's my uncle's idea.
- Oh?

- [Hadley] Hey, did
you text me last night?

- No. Why?

- Just got a weird message.

- What phone number?
- Withheld.

- [Kagan] Oh, it's probably
just someone screwing around.

Halloween pranks.

Speaking of Halloween.

- What the hell are you doing?

Get up. People are probably watching.

- Hadley Briggs, will you go
to the Halloween dance with me?

- Only if you swear and get up, like now.

- Well, that's a yes, right?

- Your dad's gonna love this.

You do know what happened

to the last quarterback I dated, right?

- I'm not scared.

- But your dad's reelection.

- I don't care what my dad thinks.

I'm not gonna let him use me

for his stupid election anymore.

(phone ringing)

- [Richard] Sir.

(phone ringing continues)

- Richard, is it?

- Uh, it's Rich.

- Richard? You can wait outside.

(phone continues ringing)

(phone tone clicks)

Sheriff. Mayor West.

I just got home

and I hear that you're
trying to cancel the dance

and the birthday celebration.

- [Jared] Mayor, we have
multiple students dead.

A student's still missing and parents-

- Sheriff, do you know much money

we've sunk into this
dance and celebration?

What do you think would
happen if we were to cancel?

- [Jared] I don't care.

What I care about are those kids and-

- Stop. We are not canceling the dance.

And here's another thing
to consider, Jared,

I'm not the only one
who's up for reelection.

(phone tone beeps)

(Curtis sighs)

Principal Morris, we may have a problem.

(gentle apprehensive music)

- Oh, I, I realized this morning,

I, I don't have an idea for a costume.

- You could go as your dad.

- Ew, Ew, no.

- No, it's perfect.

It's perfect to go to the dance-

- No. Oh.

Uh, her mom found out they were dating,

so may have threatened him.

Looks like we're not
the only grounded ones.

- Moms. And you're sure that-

- Oh, I'm sure.

I'm done doing things to
help him maintain his image,

which by the way, is in
the toilet right now.

New polls are in, I'm sorry.

It's, it's all I hear around the house.

Can we change the subject?

- [Hadley] Um-hmm. Oh, oh. (chuckles)

- [Kagan] Guess who's going to the dance?

- Are you going with him?

Yes! What are you gonna be?

What about your mom?

- I don't know yet and I
haven't exactly told her.

- Mm.
- Oh hey,

uh, did either of you
guys get a weird text

from withheld number last night?

- Was it a dick pic? I hate those.

I swear the guys at the school are pigs.

- Uh, no. It just said trick or treat.

- Look around, I hear trick or
treat like five times a day.

(phone notifications dinging)
(ominous music)

- Mitchel's dead.

- Kagan, that's not funny.

(ominous music)

- It's gotta be a prank.

Sympathy points for his
dad's campaign, right?

- You'd be surprised

how quickly a prank can get out of hand.

(ominous music)

Uncle Jared, what?

- You okay?

- Yeah, yeah, sure.

- The mayor's just enacted a curfew

that's effective immediately.

- What? W-well, they're not
gonna cancel the dance though.

We have big plans this year.

- No, besides the dance though,

the city council decided
that the trunk or treat,

that's it this year.

No house to house stuff.

- Hadley, your uncle and I

would like to have a word with you.

- What? Why?

- Kagan. Kagan, it's fine.

It's fine, okay.

- Thank you, Miss Briggs.

(suspenseful music)

- She'll be fine.

- The police have went
through your file, as have I.

(file thuds)

- I hate to do this, but
where were you 48 hours ago?

(suspenseful music)

- Uncle Jared.

- I'm not Uncle Jared right now.

I'm the sheriff.

We all know what happened last Halloween.

You and another student almost
died because of a prank.

Now I need to know, if you're
not telling us something.

- I'm not allowed to discuss it.

- Ms. Morris, can you give us a minute?

(suspenseful music continues)

(door clicks)

Now you need to be honest
with me, sweet pea.

Is everything in this report?

- Not really.

They said I was in shock

and to say what they told me to.

- What happened?

- Kurt wanted me to
get this kid to a party

and he was gonna scare him.

He played the same stupid
Halloween prank every year.

(faint dance music)

- You promised.

- I don't understand why we
have to do it again this year.

Can we just please go back inside?

- You promised you were gonna do it again.

- Kurt, you're drunk.

And he's just a really nice kid

and I, I just wanna have fun.

I wanna go back inside

and I feel like we're too fucking old

to be dicking around with freshmen.

(faint dance music)

(foreboding music)

- We're doing it.

(foreboding music)
(insects chirping)

- Fuck!
(foreboding music continues)

(Hadley sighs)
(can crunches)

Oh, fuck.

(faint dance music)

- Hey, Kurt said you had
something you wanted to ask me.

- No, no. Kurt's just being a dick.

Let's just go back inside.

- I'm being a dick?

Didn't seem to bother you last night.

- Fuck you!

- Again.
- Hey man,

maybe you should take a beat.

Me and Hadley'll go back inside.

- (laughing) Oh, you're not going anywhere

with my girlfriend.

(blow thuds)
- Oh, my god!

Kurt! Kurt, no!
(blows thudding)

Kurt, stop it! Stop!
(blows thudding)

Kurt! Kurt, stop it!

(blows thudding)
Stop it! Stop!

(freshman moaning)
(ominous music)

(blow thuds)
I said no-

(flesh squishing)

(dramatic suspenseful music)

- Your testimony is what put him away.

Jury's not too happy with you.

If it was the same every year.

Do you remember did he
leave anything behind,

anything at all?

- I don't think so.

I-I mean, like you said,

he's locked up in a psych ward.

- I pulled all your phone records.

We know that you received a
text from Mitchel last night,

minutes before his death.

The number also showed up
quite a bit on Campbell's phone

before he died as well.

- I don't know how Mitchel got my number

and the Campbell thing,
we had a project due.

I thought he was blowing me off.

- Where were you?

- At home all night and
yes, my parents can verify.

Can I go?

- I made your parents a promise,

but I think it'd be safest

for you to know Kurt was released.

(gentle booming)

That's the whole reason

for the detail on you and the curfew.

So if he reaches out
to you or you see him,

you let me know immediately.

(file slams)

Kagan's next, then Dacey.

(suspenseful music)
(Kurt laughing)

- [Hadley] Stop! Stop!

(suspenseful music continues)

What are you doing?

(suspenseful music continues)

No, Kurt. Stop it!

(suspenseful music continues)

Kurt, stop it! Stop!

(suspenseful music continues)

Kurt, stop it! Stop!

(Kurt laughing)

Kurt, stop it! Stop!
(suspenseful music continues)

- Hey, you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Just getting used to fighting
off daily panic attacks.

(chuckles) How, how insane is that?

How about you, uh, in your
first brush of the law?

- It's not my first time actually,

but my dad came storming in,
so you know that was fun.

- Uh, it's my fault.

- How's the chain gang?

Think you can pry yourselves
away from criminal activities

long enough to decorate for the dance?

Did we miss something?

- Waiting on Hadley to elaborate

on why she thinks any
of this is her fault?

- I bet it's survivor's
remorse or whatever.

- (scoffs) Yeah, more like
guilty by association.

- Hold up. What the hell's
that supposed to mean?

- Look, she's had a long
day, man, leave her alone.

- Long day? One of my friends,
one of our friends is dead.

One's missing and you're a suspect.

Rough doesn't even begin to cover it.

How about this day's been pure shit?

- Come on. Kagan's right.

Leave her alone.

- I think it's Kurt.

(gentle booming)

- It's kind of hard to kill people

when you're eating food
through a plastic straw

staring at padded walls.

- His dad got him released,
technicality or something.

- Okay, so he's out now. Who cares?

Why would he kill Campbell?

- He might be unhappy with me.

- [Adam] Unhappy how?

- My testimony wasn't entirely true.

I lost a lot of blood and I was in and out

and they told me to lie.

My parents did.

They told me to say that I
knew nothing about Kurt's prank

and that I thought he
was trying to kill me.

- So you were in on it?

- No, she wasn't. Right?

(apprehensive music)

- I was supposed to get
this freshman to a party

and Kurt was gonna scare him.

And you have to believe me,

I did not know he had a real knife.

- What happened?

- He just kept kicking this kid

just over and over again.

Kurt, stop it!

And he was grabbing onto my costume

and there's blood everywhere.

And I tried to stop him,

but that's when he, then he swung at me.

(flesh squishing)

- So you just lied?

- I was scared and,
and they told me to say

that I knew nothing about it

and that I thought he was
trying to kill us both.

He got insanity, but his, his
parents have a lot of money.

- So that nutcase is killing
people to mess with you?

- My, uh, my uncle isn't
sure, but, um, yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

(apprehensive music)

No, no. No wait, it...

I wasn't supposed to tell anybody.

Just please don't.

- You know, your uncle said I have motive

that I've been displaying
erratic behavior.

- Yeah, yeah.

But what motive would you have

that would be better than Kurt's?

He just has to look into you.

- The town's been spending a
lot of money the past few years

and reelection's coming up.

My dad's the mayor and
Campbell and Mitchel's dads

are two of the three
candidates running against him.

Lila's dad's the third.

The kids of candidates

are being made into Halloween decorations.

Lila is missing. I'm the only one left.

Their dad's dropped out.

My dad's the only one left.

Everybody thinks I had
something to do with this

because you lied!

- Kagan, wait. (whimpering)

(solemn music)

(solemn music continues)

(Hadley crying)

(solemn music continues)

(flesh squishing)
(killer heavy breathing)

(car door slams)

(killer heavy breathing)
(insects chirping)

- Hello?
(foreboding music swells)

- Oh! (panting)
- Whoa, Hadley.

Hadley, it's me.

- It's him. I know it.

- I don't see anybody.

What? You think he's just watching?

- I don't know.

- Is it me?

- I don't know.

Look, I just told you guys
this awful thing and I-

- Well, what do you expect?

Everybody just stares at me
like I'm the one who did it.

And then you're just like,

oh, I think it's this other guy.

- I should have told you,
but I'm really not supposed.

- Look it's, it's fine. I get it.

It's just, if you hadn't lied,

then maybe I wouldn't be a suspect.

Like at all.

- I really am sorry

and I swear I'll make
sure you're off the radar.

- Let's just get back to the gym.

I don't wanna deal with
Mrs. Morris if we're late.

(Hadley panting)

(killer heavy breathing)
(foreboding music)

(apprehensive music)

(students clamoring)

- Dacey, we've been
blowing these up for hours.

Didn't my mom take that?

- Oh, like I only had one.

- Seriously, I'm gonna
shatter this over your face.

- Wow. Okay.

- Hey, uh, look, I just.

- Don't,
- Okay.

- [Payton] I'm glad you're here.

- Hey Kagan, what do you think?

Two down, one to go.

I mean your dad's got
the election locked up.

- It's not Kagan. So drop it.

- Of course you're defending
him, he's your boyfriend.

- Yeah, you know what happened

with my last boyfriend, right?

Said he almost beat someone to death

and then he tried to kill me.

Yeah, well I thought you all should know

that my psychotic ex was just
released from the loony bin.

Yeah, he's the reason for the
town curfew and not Kagan.

So like I said, drop it.

(phones ringing)
(notifications chirping)

- Hey, thank you for that.
- I gotta go.

- [Kagan] Wait, let me go with you.

- Oh, no. No can do, man.

We're serving time. Remember?

- Seriously, Dacey?

You know this is why you're alone.

Also, my mom's coming
and if you're not here,

she's gonna like (clicks tongue).

- Okay, fine.

- Hey, I need some air

after flashing most of the senior class.

(foreboding music)

(door slams)

(foreboding music continues)

(insects chirping)
(killer heavy breathing)

(foreboding music continues)

(dramatic tones)

- Hop in.
(insects chirping)

(apprehensive music)

(apprehensive music continues)

(apprehensive music continues)

- Uncle Jared, Uncle Jared, please don't.

- What's, what's the matter?

Did something-
- No, no-no-no-no.

It's nothing, uh, just a little jumpy.

Whose phone?

- It's Lila Craven's.

(dramatic booming)

Mitchel and Campbell they
also got the text messages

that said trick or treat.

- I've been getting messages too.

- Yeah, I know you have.

- I didn't wanna freak out mom,

but I think Kurt's been following me.

- We found Lila about an hour ago.

(foreboding music)

(foreboding music continues)

- I heart Halloween.

- You're the only one
that's gotten those messages

that's still alive.

(foreboding music)

(gentle tinkling)

(footsteps plodding)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(killer heavy breathing)

(foreboding music)

(flesh squishing)
(Toni gurgling)

(foreboding music continues)

(Toni gasping)

(foreboding music continues)

(flesh squishing)

It appears someone's making
their own Halloween displays.

They're sending you the same
messages as the victims.

Each body has been posed with a message

and a Halloween mask.

(foreboding music continues)

The killer's turning his victims
into Halloween decorations.

Leaving masks behind.

- So do we watch and see if Kurt

tries to turn me into
a Halloween decoration?

- I talked with Kurt's dad and
he hasn't seen him in a week.

- So it is him?

- It looks that way.

But this information
hasn't been released, so.

- I, I sort of just told
most of the senior class.

- Sweet pea.
- I was trying to help Kagan.

We were setting up for the dance

and someone mentioned his dad.

- That damn dance needs to be canceled.

I know that Kurt has got
something special planned for this

and if it's not him, then it's-

- I'll help. I'll do
whatever you need me to.

- I think that they're gonna
make their move at the maze.

- Spectacular.
- We'll have men

stationed there in costume and out.

You'll never be out of their sight.

- A poorly lit maze at
night. What could go wrong?

- I will keep you safe. I promise.

School's been canceled
because of the funeral.

I'll station a man outside
the house. Keep an eye on you.

- Not a lot of confidence
with the guy from today.

- Hello?
- Where are you?

- [Hadley] (sighs) Home.

- Thanks for the peep
show, then ditching us.

We were worried and Kagan
rushed off after you

and now my mom can't find Dacey.

She's pissed.

- Sorry, my Uncle had to talk to me.

Wait, Kagan and Dacey left?

- You didn't see them?

Why did your uncle wanna talk about?

- Just some family stuff.

He's gonna make sure I'm at the dance

and, no, I haven't seen
either one of them.

- Well, now you gotta think of a costume.

- Yeah, I guess.

- [Payton] Any ideas?

Hadley?
- I'll figure something out.

- [Payton] My mom said
she talked to your uncle

and they're gonna notify
the town about Kurt.

Can't believe this is happening again.

- Yeah. Crazy.

Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

- [Payton] Okay.

(Hadley sighs)

(killer heavy breathing)

(insects chirping)

(heavy breathing continues)

(vehicle tires humming)

(dramatic booming)

(birds chirping)

- [Jared] Look, we're
canvassing the neighborhoods,

but so far nothing.

- It's fine. Thank you
for bringing me home.

Just, I gotta go.

I need to decide what Kurt's
gonna kill me in tonight.

- [Jared] (sighs) Sweet pea.

- Sorry. I know, bad joke.

See you tonight.

What the hell is that?

- [Hadley] A button?

Hmm. Okay, whatever.

Uh, after this week, we all need some fun.

So I'm gonna forgive
whatever this is, okay?

- Okay.
- Because I am brave and kind

and so smart and-

- Nope, nope, nope.
- Perfect.

- [Hadley] Nope. Hey, guys.

What's up?

Your dad gave you your car back.

- Psst.
- Oh, wow. Wow.

You, you're a nerd.

Where's Dacey?

- Makeup issues.

- Uh, is that cop gonna follow
us all the way to the dance?

- (sighs) Yep, so I would advise

following any and all traffic laws.

- All right, well then you
better buckle up, Missy.

(playful music)
- Okay.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

no ghosts and goblins running our streets

I never thought I'd see the day.

But the station wants
to give a huge thank you

They might not be that way.

They could be behind us.

- Okay.
- They could be beside us.

- They could be-
- I get it.

Nobody knows where anybody is.

- Yeah, most people just
hang out in here anyway,

instead of going into the dance.

Mostly to chill out 'cause
it's semi-private and whatnot.

(foreboding music)

(balloon pops)

- Oh!
- Get to the dance.

- [Kagan] Sure. Thanks, Bozo.

- Semi-private, huh?

- Yep. You know, except for
the grown men in costumes!

(eerie music)

(character groans)
- Oh, my gosh.

We're never getting to the dance.

Like, actually I'm, I'm okay with that,

except I guess I'm more
likely to be killed out here.

- Wait. What?

Like try to keep it in your pants.

Have you seen Adam?

- Yeah, he just ducked into
my tent a few minutes ago.

Give you two a little privacy.

Go scare me up some kiddos.

Stop.

And besides everybody's trying

to pass the time out here
doing things, naked things.

David. David, come in.

Tyler. Tyler.

taking their sweet time.

I moved them along, but I, I
can't find the other three.

to the other tents.

Get out there. You get Hadley
and Kagan and bring them in.

And get everybody into the gym.

No one leaves!

- Copy that, Sheriff.

(suspenseful music)

(foreboding music)
(insects chirping)

- This all feels so weird.

- What? The Halloween maze
or being here with me?

- Kinda, I mean not the you thing,

more the Halloween thing
combined with the you thing.

I, that's not what I mean.

- You know, if you
didn't wanna come with me

or if you didn't feel ready,
you coulda just told me.

- That's not it. Not exactly.

Look, I'm, I'm not explaining this right.

- You didn't have to lie.

You coulda just told me.

- Kagan, I'm not lying.

I wanted to come with you.

It's just with Kurt and
with everything, it's a lot

and it's all happening so fast.

- Yeah, and how did
lying work out for Kurt?

- Are you serious right now?

- Yes, of course. I'm serious!

Just, you know what?

I'm gonna go find Dacey,

hang out with him for
the rest of the night.

You can have fun figuring out
whatever the fuck you mean.

He's here and he just killed somebody.

- Okay, It's okay.

I'll get you down.

All right, come on. Come on.

Come on, Adam.

It's okay.

- Hey, Sheriff. Hey, uh,
I found one of those kids.

(radio crackling)

(foreboding music)

- You think they're all fake?

- I don't wanna know. Come on.

- [Jared] Hadley?

- Where the hell are you?

- [Jared] Trying to
find you? Where are you?

- Are you kidding? We're in a tent.

- [Jared] They gave us
maps with the layout.

- It's the butcher shop.
The hanging bodies.

- [Jared] I got it. Sit tight.

- Fuck it. Come on.

- What, wh-wh-what are we doing?

- Gonna get out of here.

- Well, no, he told us
to stay where we are.

He knows where we are and he's got a gun.

- When have you ever listened to my uncle?

- Well, considering I was hung up to die

like a slab of meat, willing
to make an exception.

- Okay, Kagan is still out there.

And what about Payton?

(ominous music)

Yeah, yeah, come on. Come on.

(foreboding music)

- What?
(foreboding music continues)

- (whimpering) No.

(sinister music)

(Hadley crying)

- No. No.

No. No, it's fine.

It's fine. We can fix it.

No, it's fine.

It's fine. We can fix it.

- No, no we can't.
- Fix this.

- [Hadley] No, we have to go.

We have to go.
- And now we fix it.

- We have to go.
- We have to fix it.

(ominous music)

Look!
- We have to go.

We need to go. We need to...

- Hadley!
- Oh, my god.

Oh my god.
- God, I was so scared.

I, I heard screaming.

I, I thought that.
- Are you hurt?

(apprehensive music)

- [Kagan] No, it's not mine.

(suspenseful music)

No, Hadley, wait. It's Dacey.

I found him. I was just
checking to see if he was okay.

- So, so that's Dacey's
blood or is it Payton's?

- Would you listen to
yourself? I didn't kill him.

- Stop, stop it.

I just need to think. Stop.

(gunshot blasts)

No-no. No-no-no-no-no.

No-no-no-no. No-no-no.

(maniacal laughing)

Kurt, no.
- I know who likes

wearing the same Halloween
costume more than once.

You got off. So, so easy.

Poor Kurt, though.

(ominous music)
- Dacey.

(Dacey wickedly laughing)

- Kurt, he, uh, (scoffs)
he wanted to scare you

into telling the truth.

But as you can see,

I've a got a little flare
for the dramatic. (laughs)

He got a little squeamish
with what I did to Campbell.

- You're helping him?
- No, I was using him.

Kurt's dead.

My Halloween decorations

are gonna put this place back on the map.

And Kurt, oh Kurt, he's
gonna take the fall, again.

Another prank gone wrong.

Instead of people coming

to celebrate the Halloween decorations,

they'll celebrate the
Halloween murders. (laughs)

Smile for me.

(phone thuds)

Oh, that was Kurt's.

- Hm, now what?

- Now, I'm gonna cut up that
pretty little face of yours.

(wickedly laughing) You're
gonna be my best display

and my, my crown jewel.

- What happens when
they fight Kurt's body?

- Oh, they won't. (wickedly laughing)

(Hadley screaming)

Don't struggle. I'd hate
for you to ruin my design.

(flesh squishing)

- Get away from her!

(Dacey grunts)
(Payton yelps)

- Oh, my god.

- Call for help, please.
- Okay.

(Hadley panting)

(gentle suspenseful music)

(siren wailing)

- [Radio Dispatch] Is
there any education staff?

- Education-
- Some people

just love Halloween little too much.

(faint radio chattering)
(siren wailing)

- [Responders On Radio] Okay, thank you.

- Hello. Do you know your name?

- Hadley.
- Is it Hadley?

- Yeah.
- Do you know where you're at?

- [Hadley] Yeah.

(gentle suspenseful music)
(faint radio chattering)

- The cops are gonna want to talk to you

and then we're gonna
get you to the hospital

and have you checked out, okay?

- Okay.
- Your mom's on her way.

Just sit tight.

(siren wailing)

- Hadley.
- Mom.

- Oh my God. Oh my god.
- Mom.

- [Nita] Oh my God. Baby, baby.

(Hadley crying)

- What did he do to you?

- I think I wanna go back
on house arrest. (laughs)

- Until you're 35.

(Hadley crying)

Okay, you stay put.

I'm gonna go get your father

and we're gonna get you outta here, okay?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- [Hadley] I'm okay.

(radio voices chattering)

Mrs. Morris.

- I'm taking Payton to the hospital.

I have to go.

- She saved me.
- Yeah.

(radio voices chattering)

- Sorry, Hadley.
- Mayor West.

Is Ka-
- Some birthday, huh?

Well I, uh, (clears throat)
couldn't have planned
