Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • "Trick": Catlyn, Maria, Nelson, and James are introduced as apparently innocent victims of murderous trick-or-treaters, but are quickly shown to be the true monsters of the story. Vicious sadists who get their rocks off by torturing, mutilating, and killing children, they have subjected countless children to heinous torments, such as cutting out their tongues and eyes or ripping out their teeth. The quartet are so proud of their accomplishments that they pose for pictures of themselves covered in the blood of their victims, and even eating body parts for cheap thrills.
    • "The Weak and the Wicked": Alice is a vile teenage gangster who introduces herself about to put her cigarette out on a random, sobbing trick-or-treater. Alice has been terrorizing people since she was a kid; the short's protagonist, Jimmy, had to watch Alice burn his parents alive when they were both just kids. When Alice bumps into Jimmy again in the present day, she elects to beat him and burn him alive as well to complete the whole family set. When Jimmy threatens her with a demon, Alice laughs, "there are no monsters, only me!"
  • Retroactive Recognition: Jack Dylan Grazer made his film debut playing the younger Jimmy Henson in "The Weak and the Wicked".
  • Special Effects Failure: It's not hard to notice the backwoods serial killer's deformed face is a rubber mask, especially when the actor moves his mouth looking up at the flying saucer.
