There were definitely two bodies in Wilkins' backyard hole: the headless Bad Santa kid, and another kid that was already in there and was still alive, giving Wilkins trouble. The other kid looked like he was in a costume under the sack.

Great episode. You missed the call back to “The Thing”. Brian Cox says “You gotta be f@$king kidding me.” when he spots Sam’s hand crawling along the floor. Classic.

I think it was Alex that mentioned it, but nostalgia is usually very shallow. Once you get past that first hit, there isn’t much you can grab onto after. Sometimes you just need a little bit of spirit or in this movies case, just pump it full of HGH - Halloween Growth Hormones

Let’s go! Been waiting for this one!

One of my favorite Halloween movies!

2007 seems like such an odd time period for a Classic Original Halloween-y horror movie to be released. Unlike Fear Street whose marketing is centered more around nostalgia of those classic horror tropes, I was surprised to find how not out of place Trick r Treat feels. Understandable it ended up merely becoming a beloved cult favorite.
