- Through snarling vines and twisted roots.

He'll latch onto your fear.

His wicked howl will strike your heart

when his evil draws in near.

October wind, sends chill to bone

and bustles all the leaves.

So beware.

Beware of the Pumpkin
Man this All Hallows Eve.

Good morning,
witches and goblins.

It's another beautiful
October day here in Cromwell,

home of the evil demon
known as the Pumpkin Man.

Our town is coming alive with
the hollowing spirit today.

And if you're looking for something to do,

Sir Henry's Haunted Trail
is giving a daytime tour

of their hunt ahead of their
annual Pumpkin Man festival

this Saturday.

So be sure to stop by.

But with that being said,

we'll keep cranking out
the spooky tunes on WTCH,

because here in Cromwell,
it's always Halloween.

Oh, and by the way, stop
calling and requesting Thriller.

We're gonna play it.

It's Halloween.

- This house pays homage
to historic Cromwell's

most famous legend, the Pumpkin Man.

They say he tormented the town
and killed eight people here.

- Five.

- What?

- The Pumpkin Man killed five people.

This lady doesn't know
what she's talking about.

- Hey, she's just trying to do her job.

And plus, I thought the Pumpkin Man

was just bullshit to you anyway.

- That doesn't mean I
can't find it interesting.

Plus, if she's a tour guide,

I expect her to know
what she's talking about.

- Does anybody have any questions?

Yes, you in the back?

- All right, so why hasn't the Pumpkin Man

been summoned in like forever?

- I don't know.

I'm not sure about that one.

Anyways, as we continue.

- I do.

- Cat, what are you doing?

- I'm going to look for what I came for.

Are you gonna be perfect
little Miss Jenny Scott,

or are you gonna come help me?

- Okay, fine.

I don't know why I let you
drag me into this shit.

Gross-ery.

Get it, 'cause it's supposed to be gross?

- Really?
- Yeah.

I really need to shower now, Cat.

Thanks a lot.

- You need to shower once a day anyways.

You might as well get a
little bit more dirty.

- Okay, fine.

Where's this thing.

- I'm not gonna tell you.

- Wait.

Okay, Cat, seriously, where are we going?

- Oh my God, Jenny, live a little!

You get straight As all the time.

Let's live once in your life.

Okay, fine.

So scary.

- Terrifying.

Are we almost done here?

- Oh my God, you're so impatient.

Can't you just chill out?

- Wait, I have stuff to do.

I have a quiz tomorrow!

- Where's your sense of adventure!

Let's go!

- I don't even know why
I'm your friend sometimes.

Okay, are we actually
looking for something,

or is this just an excuse
to get us into trouble?

- Look, some of the props here

are actually historical artifacts
from Madame Olc's cottage.

So that means there
might be something here

that no one's ever seen,
or they just missed.

- Like what?

- Do you know the story
of the Pumpkin Man?

- Only what eighth
grade history taught us.

Why?

- Well, the Pumpkin Man is a demon.

And in order to summon
him, you need two things,

his name and a spell.

And it said that the
spell book was hidden away

a long time ago,

and there's a clue somewhere

as to where the spell book was hidden.

- And you think that clue is here?

Really?

Cat, the pipes in here are fake.

- Yeah, but the piano's real.

This is actually from Madame Olc's house.

- Wait, wait, what was that?

- I think it's a poem.

- It looks like a piece
of it was ripped off.

- Jenny, I think this might be a clue.

- Really, you think this is real?

- She's in here.

- Come here, Cat.

- Hi, detective.

You think they have any
murder weapons here?

- Jesus, Quinn, you wanna
look at their dead bodies too?

- This is a police station, not a morgue.

- The sentiment remains the same.

- What?

Jenny, what's wrong?

- You need to stop
dragging me into your shit.

- You just think I'm weird.

- No, impulsive.

I just wish you'd think
about other people for once.

- Breaking and entering,
trespassing on private property,

and disrupting one very
peaceful tour group.

You can go.

- What?

- I know the mastermind behind this.

Trust me, you're fine.

Really?

- I can explain.

- Please, I know the
explanation, Catherine.

- I really thought I
had something this time.

- I bet you do.
- Tim, please.

- I don't wanna hear it.

- If you would just look.

- Enough, Catherine.

One day I'm not gonna
be able to bail you out.

I've gotten a dozen calls
about these Pumpkin Man pranks,

and they all have one thing in common.

Look, kid, I love you, okay?

But I can't keep sticking
my neck out for you.

I understand you're
interested in this stuff,

and that's fine, but it's
gotta have its limits.

I don't wanna call our
parents saying you're in jail.

- They've already given up on me.

- You know that's not true.

- I think it is.

- Okay, outta curiosity though.

Old paper?

- It's proof that the
Pumpkin Man grimoire is real.

- 10-year-old Tim would've been
really excited to see this.

- Only 10-year-old Tim?

It's pretty cool!

- Yeah, it's pretty cool.

- Yeah.

ls your friend at
Stanford gonna look at it?

- Yeah, I'm probably gonna
try to get it to him tonight.

It's best to get a second opinion.

- Do me a favor, just
try not to break the law

trying to find it.

- No promises.

- I think I yelled at you enough.

Get outta here.

- Are you gonna come to dinner on Sunday?

- I'll try.

- Don't try, just do it.

It'd mean a lot to them.

- I'll be there.

- You're gonna gonna have
to try harder than that.

- Why do you ruin fun?

- Hey, Cat.

You hungry?

- Depends.

What are we having?

- We're having your favorite, punky soup.

Also, you know that
evil dead looking house

at the end of the street?

I think I saw someone
in there staring at me.

Who is that?

- Well, we don't really know.

They lived there since
the house was built,

but they keep to themselves.

- We even made her a pumpkin pie,

and she didn't even come
out on the front porch.

- But hey, more buy for us.

- I think she's kinda
like the town mystery.

- Okay, that's a mystery that
you do not need to meddle in.

Let her be.

- And that is a command, young lady.

- Don't worry.

I already found a route to
avoid that creepy bitch.

- Catherine.

- You know, it says here that the only way

for the Pumpkin Man to be free

is for him to kill the
ones that summoned them.

It's kinda like a sacrificial
offering or something.

- It's very interesting, Michael.

- Yeah.

I mean, did you know they
built Sir Henry's Haunted Trail

on the spot where the
witch killed herself?

They built a replica of the house there.

- Everyone in Cromwell already knows this.

It's common knowledge.

- Look, I'm just saying,

you should really give
this podcast a listen,

you know, since you love
haunted houses so much.

- I'll listen to it right away.

- Yeah, okay.

- I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it.

- Okay, you two, say cheese.

What?

You know I have to take
pictures for the school paper.

- Michael!

Hello, Michael!

- Hi, Cat.
- Hello!

- That's good.
- Yeah.

- Jenny.

- Oh, come on.

You're only excited to see Catherine.

- Well, that's because he
knows who the fun one is.

Right, Michael?

- Right.
- Yeah.

- Ew, ew, ew.
- Gross.

- Get a room, you two.

- How about just get
out, and we'll have one.

- Okay.

Listen, this is fun, but I
really gotta get to class.

So, I'll see you later, Cat.
- Aw, lame!

- Bye.
- Well, so do we.

Cat?

Tina?
- Let's go.

- Come on.

- Yeah, let's go.

Um, no.

You know I was never great.

- You better not make me late.

- I can't promise that.

- You already know, Catherine.

You know I have to get to Yale.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- I mean, come on, Cat.

It's 2020.

- Just a reminder,

the school's organized
annual Pumpkin Man Festival

at Sir Henry's Haunted
Trail is this weekend.

I hope to see all of you there.

Only one freak here gets excited for that.

- Piss off, ass hat.

- I seem to recall a
little seven-year-old Brit

that loved the festival.

Perks of being my age.

I remember all the things that you forgot.

On October 19th, 1781,
Washington delivered

the surrender document to Cornwallis.

Cornwallis signed and
surrendered sometime before noon.

On October 19th, 1781 at two p.m.

The British and the Hessian
defenders abort town.

Can you
believe she said that?

- No, isn't that crazy?

- Amazing.

Yo, what's the rush?

- Can't talk, research is afoot.

- Well, that was weird.

- She is weird.

What do you expect?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

If you're sneaking out to go see a boy,

you can march your ass
right back upstairs.

And if you're sneaking out to see a girl,

while I'm really proud, but
march your right back upstairs.

- Mom, I told you, research.

- I know, I know, research is afoot.

But unless you want a foot up your ass,

you better tell me where
you're going right now.

- I'm going to go meet up
with perfect little role model

Miss Jenny Scott.

What trouble could we possibly get into?

Actually, a lot.

A lot.

Can you at least be home by 11?

- Yes, I will.

I love you!

- Love you too.

See, weird.

- Weird.

- When you said you had something
to make up for last night,

I thought you meant like a
double date or something,

but this is just gross.

And creepy.

So please tell me why did
you bring me out here?

- Because I found it.

- Gonna need to be a bit
more specific there, chief.

- Look, do you want an
A in history or not?

- Okay, I'm listening.

- I found the Pumpkin Man grimoire.

- Why wouldn't this be
Pumpkin Man related?

- Look, seriously,

the page we found revealed
the location of the grimoire.

- And what makes you think
that was a credible source?

So not doing thorough research I see.

- Look, Madame Olc would
not have just killed herself

and not left any clue to where
she left the book behind.

- What makes you figure that?

- Someone left the book behind?

- Well, if it was Madam Olc,

that defeated the purpose
of killing herself.

- Regardless, this is the
closest anyone has been

in 150 years of finding the grimoire.

I mean, plus, if you brought
it to Ms. Leota's class,

I'm sure she'd give you
some extra credit points.

I mean.

- You better be right about this.

- I am.

Let's go!

- Here?

In the laser tag, seriously?

Yeah.

- Okay, Cat.

I really didn't think we'd be
wandering around for an hour.

- It has to be here.

- Cat, I am so sorry,

but I really don't think
we're gonna find anything!

- And why not?

You never believe me when
it comes to stuff like this.

- This is laser tag, Cat.

People have been here.

People come here every day.
- It's not just laser tag!

This is a historical place.

There's more here than you know.

There's more here than anyone knows.

You have to believe me.

Just trust me this once.

- Okay.

- Then stop yelling at me!

There.

- What is it?

- Here, hold this.

- Okay.

What makes you think the book's here?

- The poem said something
about snarling root

and twisted vines.

And I mean, this is, it's
kind of a little obvious.

- Okay, Sherlock.

What is it?

- This is it!

- Whoa, is that, is that real?

- Kurbis.

- Whoa, what was that?

- I don't know.
- Someone would've heard that.

- Yeah. Let's go.
- Okay.

- Run!
- Oh, shit, Cat.

- Tina.

My love.

Damn.

- Yes, that's me, your love.

- Do you guys have any plans tonight?

- No.

No, I don't think so.

- You guys wanna break some rules tonight?

- What kind of rules are we talking?

- We found something last night.

- What?

- We found the Pumpkin Man grimoire.

- Wait, wait, you found it?

- Yeah, and we wanna read the incantation.

- Okay, are are you
sure that's a good idea?

- What's the worst that can happen?

- Uh, we summon an evil demon.

- Yeah.

- And I mean, if that doesn't happen,

at least Michael gets to spend some time

with his favorite person.

- Are you sure about this?

- You'll be fine.

Plus, does spending time with
me sound like a bad thing?

- Yes.

- You know what?

You can go fuck yourself.

- No.

No, it doesn't.

- All right, come on.

Eight p.m.

Hank's pumpkin patch.

Don't be late!

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Are you still breathing?

- She kissed me.

- So like, where's Jenny?

- She's running a little late,

but she said we're good
to start without her.

- Oh, what, is she too good to get killed?

- Hey, I'm really glad that you're here.

- Yeah.

What, miss out on time with you?

Never.

- You know, I realize, that
was gonna hit your head.

- Yeah, I know.

- For the record, I did
not agree to third wheel.

- I did not agree to third wheel.

- Okay, okay.

- I'm Tina.

- Hey, hey, hey, so what's the deal here?

Won't Hank see us?

- Hank is old as shit and
has the vision of a worm.

- Can't they not see?

- Yes, Tina.

What a bright observation.

Wow, you're so smart.

All right, you, you, follow me.

- Okay.
- Follow me.

This way.
- Okay.

- All right.

All right, Michael, you are over here.

- Here?

- And you right there.

- Nice.

- Okay.

- I guess Jenny was too
much of a pussy to join us.

Typical.

- Are you sure you two
still wanna do this?

In days of Yore a celebration
roared throughout the land.

Sawin.

But still, the veil between life and death

is at its thinnest here
when reality starts to bend.

And on these days, creatures
and spirits from beyond

cross over to the land of the living.

Beware Lady Gwen.

Beware Puka.

Beware the Dullahan
and their mighty steed.

Beware the dark fairies and
their mischievous traps.

But most of all, beware the
Sluagh, come to steal your soul.

Among them is Kurbis, the demon of Fall.

And he's the one who scares most of all.

A howl marks his approach
as death draws in near.

Twisted are his ways,

and through your joy, he shall appear.

With your scent, he'll never stop.

He'll tear you flesh from bone.

But if so selfish, you wish to live,

give a friend's life for your own.

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know.

- Oh, fuck!
- Oh, God!

- So this was a joke to you two?

- Chill out, Tina.

It's Halloween.

- Oh, what the hell?

- Oh, come on.

Come on, it was pretty funny.

- Is that even a fucking book?

- Yeah, it is.

We summoned the Pumpkin Man.

Woo, she's so scary!

- Hey!

You kids get off my property!

- Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

Shit!

- I'll see you tomorrow!

Michael, Michael, Michael, wait.

- I'm gonna trip and fall over myself.

Wait, I just wanna, I wanted
to say thank you for coming.

- Yeah.
- I really appreciate it.

It's no problemo.

- I'm gonna catch you at school.

Bye!

- Bye, bye.

- Damn kids.

Rufus!

Rufus!

Damn dog.

What good is he to have around,

he gonna let trespassers come in here?

What the hell?

Rufus?

Rufus?

You kids, get the hell outta there!

Don't make me call Sheriff Green!

That's it.

I'm gonna-

Oh my God!

Oh Jesus!

- This is ugly.

- For this town, this is hell.

She was outta town last night.

Alibi's confirmed it.

She came home, saw the house was empty,

started looking for him.

- What about the woods,
have you searched them?

- All morning.

No footprints, no DNA.

We can't even find a body.

- What?

- Show you something.

- Jesus!

- The way it's blown off like that,

man, I have no idea what
could have done that.

- Okay.

Look, why don't you go look
around, see if you see anything.

I'm gonna ask some questions, all right?

- All right, let me know.

Tim!

- What is it?

- It's his head.

- Come on, it was funny.

- The only thing funny about it

was getting chased off of Hank's property.

- Do you think he called the cops?

- Oh my God, I swear,

if this ruins my chances
of going to Yale or NYU, I-

- Relax, Jenny.

The cops would've been
knocking on our front door

last night.

Morning class.

- What's up?
- Morning.

- Hey.

- Just a reminder again,

the Pumpkin Man Festival is this Saturday.

And as an added bonus,

anyone who shows up in costume
will receive extra credit.

Yeah, that was a stretch.

- Oh my God.

- Hank's dead.

- We're going to jail.

- We didn't do anything wrong.

- She's right.

- Which she?

- You.
- Thanks.

- Don't be so dramatic.

- Oh, I'm being dramatic

because no matter which
way you look at it,

we did do something wrong.

- Trespassing doesn't trump murder.

- And if they find out we were there?

- How?

He's too old for security cameras.

He didn't even see our faces.

Besides it's not like
he's around to rat us out.

- Jesus, Tina.

- What?

I'm just saying, there's no
way they can put us there.

- What about footprints?

- Jenny, seriously, it's a
pumpkin patch in October.

Do you know how many
footprints are around?

- Tina's right.

There's no way they can track us.

- So we keep quiet about it.

Agreed?

- Agreed.
- Agreed.

- Okay, fine.

Agreed.
- God.

- No, no, fuck no.

- Oof, you look rough.

- Hey, are you okay?

- Did strange things happen
to you guys last night?

- I mean, what kind of strange?

- Like shit was moving around in my room.

- What?

- Like something or
someone was in my room.

- Okay, how do you, how do you know that?

- My closet kept opening
and shutting by itself,

and then I saw something in there.

- Did you check it out?

- Yeah.

- Catherine, stop beating around the bush.

What the hell happened?

- I saw him, okay?

- Saw who?

- You're gonna make fun of me.

You're gonna call me crazy.

- We won't.

- Kurbis.

- Odd.

- You know, fuck you.

- Okay, wait, hang on.

You, stop.

Is there anything else it could
have been other than Kurbis?

- I don't know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm just freaked out
over the whole Hank thing.

- Okay.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Look, it's gonna be all right, Cat.

All right?

Right, guys?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- I mean, we've all kind of got our heads

on a swivel right now.

- See, we're all a little
freaked out right now,

but hey, that's normal,
all things considered.

I think your mind was
just overthinking a bit.

We're getting
a call in right now from Thea.

Thea, what do you got for us?

Is it safe to take my kids out

trick or treating this year?

Listen, Thea,

I think everything is gonna be just fine.

This is a one-off kind of a thing.

How can you be so sure?

This is
Cromwell we're talking about.

Nothing is gonna dampen the
Halloween spirit around here.

If you take your kids out,

I can guarantee you, they'll be fine.

Are you sure?

I've seen pictures.

That was a gruesome scene.

Obviously I don't have all the details,

but it was frightening to say the least.

All
right, I'm gonna have to

cut you off right there, Thea.

I'm sorry about that,

but that's all the time
we have here on WTCH.

But please, people, listen to me,

the city officials have already
given us the green light

to continue on with all the festivities.

You can rest assured that nothing

is gonna kill the Halloween
spirit in this town.

- Shit!

Are you
sure you're gonna be okay

there by yourself?
- Yeah, Mom, I'm fine.

- Oh, I hate that they bailed on you.

- I guess no one's in
the Halloween spirit.

- Still, I know it's your
favorite thing to do every year.

It's shitty that they bailed on you.

Trick or treat!

- Yeah, there's a lot going on right now.

- Well, I hope it doesn't
ruin it for you, Tina.

- Hey, mom.

I'm ruining
it for you, aren't I?

- Exponentially so.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

- Love you too.

- Okay, be safe.

- These things are the
safest thing in the world.

Bye.

Trick or treat!

- Toad and under cold stone.

Days and nights is 31.

Swanter venom, sleeping gut.

Boil well.

- Trick or treat.
- Trick or treat.

- Trick or treat.

- Hello?

- Hey, you gotta keep moving.

- Oh, this isn't part of the show?

- Probably.

You still gotta keep moving.

Hello?

- What the fuck?

- Oh God.

- This is gonna be good.

- Help!

This isn't part of the fucking show!

- I wonder how they reset that
for the next group of people.

- I don't know.

- Ordering Uber Eats for the class, Cat?

- Sorry.

- No, I haven't heard
anything from her yet.

And around this time of year
people get really weird.

- Yeah, I know, but this is
Tina we're talking about.

- What are you getting at?

- Well, all I mean is,

is it possible that she
stayed at a friend's house

last night and just didn't tell you,

or maybe she's playing hooky
and her phone just died?

- No, no, she would've called me.

And she loves school.

Even though her grades don't
show it, she loves school.

She wouldn't play hooky.

Can't we do an Amber alert or something?

- Well, there's no evidence
that she was being abducted.

And according to your report,

she's only been gone for 18 hours,

and nowadays missing
people show up within 24.

- Really?

- Oh yeah, social media helps out a lot.

But if you can gimme the description

of what she was wearing,

I'll relay it to all
the patrolling officers,

and we'll keep an eye out, okay?

But for right now,

let's just refrain from
reporting her missing, okay?

Hey, Paul, do you mind taking
Ms. McMillan back there

and getting her something to drink,

and just finishing up her report?

- I was actually about to clock out.

- Thank you, Paul.

- Come on.

- Tim, I have to tell you something.

- No, I've seen that face before,

and I don't have time for this.

- But Tim, nobody's seen Tina.

- I know Tina's mom was in here,

and she wants to file
a missing child report.

- Good, I agree.

And when are you gonna
release the statement?

- We're not.

Well, not yet anyways.

- Why not?

- Hank's death's got
people really freaked out,

and we have no leads on a perpetrator.

- Perpetrator?

Tim, he killed someone.

- Shh, I'm really trying to
choose my worst carefully.

- But don't you want the people to know.

- We're on it.

You can go home.

- Tim.

You're gonna think I'm crazy,

but I think this was the Pumpkin Man.

- Goddammit, Cat.

I knew it.

I knew you were gonna try to turn this

into one of your twisted horror fantasies.

- Just listen to me.

We were at Hanks that night.

You what?

- Me, Jenny, Michael and Tina.

- Please tell me you're joking.

- Yeah, we found the Pumpkin Man grimoire.

- Wait, you found it?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we read the book
at Hank's Pumpkin Patch.

But now Tina's missing, and Hank's dead,

and I'm seeing shit in my room.

You believe me, right?

- Go home and don't tell
anyone about Hank's.

- What was that about?

- It was nothing.

- Got it.

On
tonight's terrifying tale,

you'll wish you never carved a
jack-o'-lantern in your life.

Well, we're going to share with
you the malicious intentions

behind every jack-o'-lantern's
friendly smile.

The thing about jack-o'-lanterns
is they are sentient,

always watching and always listening.

And sometimes they'll slowly creep doors-

Just to mess with their prey.

- Mom?

Now Michael
should probably ask himself,

did he just lock himself in here with me?

- Mom?

Mom, Mom, help!

Michael cries
to his fucking mommy

like a little baby,

but can't be man enough to
break down the damn door.

Well, and see how he heels
about doing this in the dark.

Michael screams and begs for his life,

but Kurbis can't help but
wonder if he tastes as good

as his shitty friend Tina.

Michael,

what the hell is going on in there?

- Nothing.

Nothing.

- What do you want?

He's coming for you.

- Oh my God!

Oh my God, Tina, what happened to you!

- It was always a game to you.

- What?

- You never thought about
the mess you left behind?

- My God, Tina, I'm so, so sorry.

- Run, run as fast as you can.

Better beware the Pumpkin Man.

- You look like you've seen a ghost.

- It happened again.

- Wait, you mean you saw him?

- Yeah, I was too scared to fall asleep,

so I left the lights on.

Literally it didn't help.

- Okay, I haven't told anyone about this,

but I think the Pumpkin Man was
watching me the other night.

- How?

- You know that podcast
that I've been hooked on?

- Yeah.

- All right, well, I was
listening to it the other night,

and out of nowhere I
became the main character.

- What do you mean?

- The host would describe
something, right?

And then moments later, it would happen.

And he mentioned something about Tina.

- He mentioned Tina in my dream too.

That means your joy is podcast
and mine is the Pumpkin Man.

What could he be haunting Tina with?

- It could be a number of things.

- And she didn't mention anything to you?

- I don't think so.

- Michael, think, think.

There has to be something.

- Let me check my texts.

Oh my God.

She went to Sir Henry's
Haunted Trail that night.

I was supposed to go with her,

but decided I wasn't in the mood.

God, she loves a good haunted house.

- What did he say about Tina?

- I think we should tell Tim.

- I tried.

He'd sooner call me crazy
than help with this.

- Okay, then we are on our own with this.

Okay, there has to be something
here that can help us.

- Ol' Kreepy's got security tonight.

I picked up these two things.

I don't know what they are,

but they're with me tonight,
so I'm gonna be out in public.

This is not gonna be good.

I've never really been in
public before, but I'm here.

It's really scary.

Everything's pretty.

Oh look, a cat!

- Hey Tim, we're getting
multiple calls about

Kreepy the Clown running around downtown.

- I fuckin' hate this time of year.

Just have Steven to deal with it.

- Deal, I'll get him on it.

So is there any movement on Hank's case?

- Some other things things actually.

Wouldn't call 'em leads though.

- What would you call it?

- What's with your
interest on Hank's case?

- We had a man's arm
severed from his body.

This is Cromwell.

We deal with petty theft, drug
deals, the occasional DUI,

never, never anything like this.

We owe it to the people
of the town to solve this

no matter where the leads take us.

- Do you know something that I don't?

- I overheard you talking to Catherine.

I know she was there that night.

Look, Tina's still missing,

and there hasn't been any
movement on that either.

I bet your sister might know something.

- She came in

'cause she wanted to start a
search party for her, okay?

Why would she do that if
she had anything to do

with the disappearance?

- I don't know, Tim, but there's
only one way to find out.

You bring her in.

- I already talked to her.

- And?

- She thinks the Pumpkin Man did it.

- The folklore?

So she was at the scene of the crime,

she blames it on a children's ghost story,

and none of that seems suspicious to you.

- You really thinks she has
something to do with this?

- Look, if it was anyone else,

you would've brought 'em in
already and questioned them.

Like you're a good cop.

You got to where you are
because you're not afraid

to get your hands dirty no
matter where the leads take you.

- Fuck!

- Michael, Michael, Michael.

So concerned with unsolved murders,

not even once thinking that
maybe one day you'd become one.

- Who are you?

- Guess.

- Where am I?

- Maybe before asking where you are,

you should consider where you last were.

- I was in the library
studying with Catherine.

This isn't real.

None of this is real.

- Isn't it?

How can you be so sure, Michael?

What part of this doesn't feel real?

Tell me, is the fear real?

You're locked in here with me.

- What do you want?

- It doesn't matter what I want.

You read the incantation,

now you get to suffer the consequences.

It's not about me, Michael.

I'm here to talk about you.

- What the hell does that mean?

- Like I said, you read the incantation.

You know the consequences but--

- But what?

- There's a way out, Michael.

- Give a friend's life for your own.

You're smarter than you look.

- And why are you telling me this?

What do you gain?

I'm not going to tell you.

- Because you're weak.

- I could snap your neck
easier than a toothpick,

and your little girlfriend
would watch your sleeping body

go lifeless and go limp on the floor.

Do not fucking test me.

- If you hurt her-

- Oh, please, you'll do what?

You haven't got the slightest idea

what's got you by the throat?

- What's your offer?

- Let me show you something.

What about her?

- What?

That woman right there?

Why not offer her up in your place?

- She doesn't deserve it.

We're just two strangers
in an empty library here.

She didn't come here looking to die,

and I'm not selfish enough to do that.

Pity.

- Where did they go?

- Poor Michael, can't save everyone.

- I don't know, what did you do to them?

- What I'm gonna do to
this whole fucking town.

You said she didn't deserve it.

She didn't need to pay
for your must mistake.

Well, guess the fuck what, Michael?

Pretty soon everyone will.

- Hey, Michael, Michael, Michael, Michael.

Hey, Michael, are you okay?

- He's getting in my head.

- Did you dream about him again?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Hey, look.

Look at me, look at me.

He's not here.

We're just in the library.

He's not here.

It's just us.

- Yeah.

- Michael, come here.

Come here, come here, Michael.

- Sorry, I'm sorry.

Okay, look.

- What am I looking at?

- Does that look familiar?

- Wait, that's the creepy
house in your street.

What the hell is it doing
on a Pumpkin Man forum.

- Historians narrowed down the list

of Madame Olc's descendants to this house.

- Damn.

Wouldn't she be like 150-years-old?

- Maybe the house has been passed down

through the family tree.

- What, you think it was her
great-great granddaughter?

Or wouldn't that be her
great-great-great granddaughter?

- There's only one way to find out.

Happy Halloween Cromwell.

It's finally the night of spooky

folk wait all year round for in this town.

It's gonna take a lot more
than a murder and disappearance

to keep us down from our favorite holiday.

Just remember, WTCH will
be sharing your photos

on social media all night
long if you tag us in them.

So let's see how creepy you can get.

But maybe it's best if you stay home.

For all we know, the Pumpkin
Man has been summoned this year

and is waiting to take someone's soul

at Sir Henry's tonight.

I wonder who it will be.

- Could this be more tacky?

- Depends who you ask.

To the kids, this is
better than Disney World.

- No, I mean the fact that
they have a Pumpkin Man night.

- Why is that tacky?

- I don't know.

It just feels like we're glorifying

a tragic event in our town's history.

- Jen, she's been dead for 200 years.

I don't think some deadass witch

cares about us celebrating this.

- It just feels wrong.

- Maybe what's wrong
is what you and Cat did

to Tina and Michael.

- Okay, stop.

I got roped into that.

For the record. I did not want to do that.

- And yet.

- I cannot have any colleges finding out

about all the dumb shit
Cat has gotten me into.

- Speaking of, did you find out about NYU?

- Yeah, I didn't get in.

- I'm sorry, Jen.

- It's okay.

- Well fuck 'em.

You don't need 'em anyway.

- Yeah, I guess.

- Why don't you grab some
pictures inside the houses,

and I'll get some interviews.
- Okay.

Wait.

- What?

- What about you?

I mean, you applied there too, right?

- Why don't we talk about that later?

- Son of a bitch.

Ah, it's the Pumpkin Man.

Oh, guess y'all are
committed to character.

- You're here to take pictures
for the school paper, right?

- Yes, I am.

- Do you mind?

- Oh yeah, of course.

See.

And.

Oh, looks like you've got a visitor.

- What are you talking about?

- The pumpkin.

- What?

- Just never mind.

- Thanks!

- What the hell was that?

- Welcome, welcome to Blood Wedding.

Think you can survive the
horrors that are inside

this haunted mansion?

- Well, I'll try my best.

I'm with the school paper.

- Can you get a photo?

- Oh yes.

Say cheese.

- I'm a skeleton.

I'm always saying cheese.

- Beautiful.

- Good luck.

You're going to need it.

- Ooh, geez.

Okay.

- Pumpkin bitch!

Fuck.

What the fuck do you want?

Get off of me!

Help me!

Wait, wait, please!

I wanna live!

Brit, God, take Brit.

- Sorry.

Do you mind?

Can I get through?

What the fuck, can I get through?

Go away!

- Open up.

We need to talk to you.

It's important.

- Huh, I am sure you do,
but I can't help you.

- It's Kurbis!

He's back.

- Damn you.

Get in here.

- We fucked up.

- Huh, that's one way of putting it.

- Look, right now is not
the time to share judgment.

Right now we just need
to know how to kill it.

- Kill it?

You don't kill it, sweetheart.

Kurbis is a sacrificial demon.

He feeds on those who have summoned him.

You bind yourself to him with a contract,

and that price is your life.

- Our friend Tina is dead!

- So Tina was the one
that summoned the demon.

- We were all there.

- And where did you
perform this incantation.

- Hank's pumpkin patch.
- Yeah.

- Hank, you say?

So I take it his soul
now belongs to the demon.

- You probably saw it on
the news or some shit.

- Do I look like I have a TV?

- She has a point.

- Kurbis feeds on those in his proximity.

His energy depends on those
that have summoned him.

If Hank was on the scene
during the incantation,

then he's part of it.

- We killed Hank.

- Michael, stop.

You know we found the page.

Who put it there, and
who left the book behind?

- They branded her a witch.

- Who?

- The town.

Those people, they thought
they had it all figured out.

- What happened?

- She resented this fucking town.

- Who?

- Madame Olc had a daughter.

- The daughter.

That was your great-great
grandmother, wasn't she?

- They branded Madam Olc the town witch,

and her daughter wanted them to burn.

- Was she the one who buried the book?

- Madam Olc hid the book away,

hoping that the world
would be safe from it,

but with a heart full of rage,

her daughter hid the location away so that

should anyone be stupid
enough to go searching for it,

Kurbis would rain hell
on an ungrateful town.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's all a joke to you kids.

You have no idea what you
have bound yourselves to.

And now you're fulfilling
my great-grandmother's wish.

The town will burn,

and then it is going to
spread outward like a disease.

- You have to help us.

- There is one way.

- What?

- It has to be me.
- What?

No, none of this would be
happening if it wasn't for me.

So I have to do it.

- Catherine, there's no way
I'm gonna let you do this.

- It's my fault!

It's my fault.

I have to do it.

At least I'll get to keep you safe.

Jenny's calling.
- Answer it.

- Jenny, you have to listen to me.

- Kurbis is real.
- What?

Did you see him?

- Yeah, he just attacked
me, but I got away.

- Wait, that means-

- Brit's dead!

I killed her.

- Jenny, oh my god.

Mikey Mike is back
for some fucking more, huh?

How many dead friends can he rack up?

Michael stands behind Catherine
while she's on the phone

both blissfully unaware
that I'm already here

and ready to take my
next soul with a twist.

There's a twist.

Which soul am I gonna take?

- Catherine?

- You have to turn yourself in, Jenny.

Guess you'll
find out soon, Mike.

- Cat!

- And tell them what?

They're never gonna believe me.

I'm gonna run, Cat.

I suggest you do the same.

I know you don't have the
stomach to do what I did.

So running's our only option.

Bye, Cat.

- Wha?

Fuck!

- Catherine!
- What?

Michael move!

- Mom, where's Cat?

- Hey, Tim.

We weren't inspecting you until Sunday.

- Where is Cat?

- Why, is everything okay?

- I don't have time for this right now.

I need to know where Cat is.

- What has she done?

- Look, I don't have time for this.

You can't just barge in like that.

You don't live here anymore.

- I may not live here anymore,

but I knew you kept a
laptop in the dining room.

- What do you need a laptop for?

- To find Cat's location.

I don't have access anymore
since I switched my plan.

- That's not necessary.

She said she's gonna be at the library.

- No, she's not.

I was just there.

There was no sign of her.

- Well, that's where she said she'd be.

- Well, it wouldn't be the
first time she lied to you guys.

- What's going on with Cat?

Should we be worried?

- That's right around the corner.

She should be here any minute.

- No, if she was walking or driving,

there'd be some kind of motion.

- That's the lady's house
that didn't like my pies.

Why would she be there?

She hated that place.

- I'll head over there.

Me and Cat need to talk anyways.

I need to borrow this.

- Wait, just remember,
you're her big brother.

You're supposed to protect her.

- It was nice to see you!

Did you hear something?

- Police.

Is anyone here?

Put your hands up.

What happened?

Whose face is that?

- Only one soul left.

- You better start talking.

- Kurbis is growing stronger.

There's only one person
standing in the way.

The girl.

If she dies by the demon's hand,

his strength will resonate
throughout our town like vines.

- Catherine?

- Yes, Catherine was her name.

You'd better hurry.

She's determined to end this.

- Don't move, Cat.

Cat, I need you to tell me
what's going on right now, okay?

This is getting way too big for
me to turn the blind eye to.

- They're all dead.

- I know they are.

Catherine, I need you to be
honest with me right now.

Who killed them?

- He did.

- What the was that?

- It's the Pumpkin Man, Tim.

- Catherine, come on now.

- Tim, we summoned him!

We summoned him.

His name is Kurbis,
and he killed everyone!

Michael, Tina, Brit, Hank, everyone!

- Not Jenny?

- She sacrificed Brit's life for her own.

- Catherine, are we in danger here?

- You're not.

- Okay, I'm starting to believe you.

- You are?

- I saw what was left of Michael.

There's no way in hell
you could have done that.

- They're all gone.

They're all gone.

It's all my fault.

- Why did you come here?

- I didn't know where else to go.

- Hey, what the hell do
you think you're doing?

- There's only one way this ends.

- What the fuck?

- It's all the victims.

- So that's why we haven't
found any of the bodies.

Catherine, what are we doing here?

- I told you there's
only one way this ends.

- Cat, no, I need you to stay back.

- Tim, kill it!

- Gonna hit you, come on!

- Fuck!

- Come on, come on.
- Go, go!

- Cat, run!

- Hey!

You gotta kill me first, motherfucker!

- Cat, no!

- You know what you have to do.

- No, no, I can't.

- It's okay.

- Okay, come on.

You okay, you okay.

No, no.

No.

No.

That book is too powerful

to remain in existence.

It's hurt too many people.

But if even one person
outside of those five

told someone about it, it may be too late.

It's destroyed.

- How can you be so sure?

- 'Cause I fucking burned it.

- For her sake, I hope you're right.

- For whose sake?

- If anyone ever reads
from that book again,

he'll come after anyone who's
ever summoned him and escaped.

- Oh my God.
