-Okay,
my little trick-or-treaters.
What are we doing today?
Oh, stop!
Oh, Pumpkin. Easy, easy.
Careful with the knife.
-I have to keep you safe,
Mommy.
-Okay.
Thank you for keeping me safe,
my little warrior.
-Not a warrior.
A Hallowarrior.

[Music stops]
-[Chuckles]
[Spray paint rattles]
[Thud]
[Dramatic music plays]
-Happy Halloween, Mr. Tregor.
[Somber music plays]
[Radio static]
[Somber music continues]
-Hello?
Does anyone copy?
Today's date is October 31st.
This is an emergency broadcast
on all available channels.
If you're listening to this,
people used to call me Pumpkin.
[Somber music continues]
This is my last distress call.
And the fourth Halloween
I've worn this mask.
-[Sighs]
-I'm still celebrating today.
It's my family's
favorite holiday.
[Somber music continues]
My mom always said that
the boundary between the living
and the dead
is the thinnest on Halloween.
That's why we light
jack o' lanterns.
And leave out food
and candy offerings.
To honor the dead.
The crops have died off.
[Somber music continues]
And I don't have much left.
But I have candy.
So much candy.
[Bell jingles]
If there's anyone
listening to this...
-[Gasps]
-If there's anyone else
out there trick-or-treating...
my coordinates
are 39.446793 North,
76.702925 East.
[Spray paint hissing]
[Somber music continues]
I carved the junk o' lanterns.
I set up the apple bobbing.
The apples are rotten.
So is everything.
This will be a haunted house.
And you can celebrate with me.
Please.
[Somber music continues]
I don't want to wake up on
November 1st by myself again.
Sometimes I don't
want to wake up at all.
[Somber music continues]
I'll be here with my family.
I hope you can make it.
[Somber music continues]
=[Sighs]
-This is the last girl
on earth, signing off.
-Happy Halloween.
[Somber music plays]
[Somber music continues]
[Music stops]
No trick-or-treaters again?
Whatever. More candy for us.
-What are we doing today?
Oh, stop!
Oh, Pumpkin. Easy, easy.
Careful with the knife.
-I have to keep you safe,
Mommy.
-Okay. Thank you for keeping
me safe, my little warrior.
-Not a warrior,
a Hallowarrior.
-Okay. Sounds good.
So, what are you gonna carve?
A silly face? A scary face?
-Silly face.
-How about you, honey?
What are you gonna carve?
Ooh. Very scary.
-My jack o' lantern's a sad
jack o' lantern, Mommy.
-A sad jack o' lantern?
I thought it had a silly face.
-It's sad 'cause it has
no friends.
It's all alone.
-But we're all together,
Pumpkin.
It's not alone.
[Dramatic music plays]
[Music stops]
[Breathing shakily]
[Hammer clicks]
[Radio static]
-Hello?
Hello? Do you copy?
Can anybody hear me?
Are you real?
Answer me, please!
[Radio static]
No!
No, no!
Hello?
Hello?
Please!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Dramatic music continues]
-Pumpkin?
[Dramatic music continues]
Pumpkin.
-[Gasps]
It's not real.
They're not out there.
They're in here with me.
[Dramatic music continues]
You're going crazy, Pumpkin.
It's just the wind, Pumpkin.
[Rumbling]
[Dramatic music continues]
[Indistinct voices]
-Not a warrior.
A Hallowarrior.
[Dramatic music continues]
It's sad 'cause it has
no friends.
It's all alone.
-Pumpkin.
[Dramatic music continues]
Pumpkin.
Pumpkin.
-[Gasps, panting]
[Footsteps]
[Dramatic music plays]
Hello?
Wait!
Who's out there?!
[Dramatic music continues]
[Gasps]
[Dramatic music continues]
Come back!
Don't leave me!
Please!
I see you!
Please!
[Panting]
Aah!
[Dramatic music continues]
[Screams]
[Crying]
[Somber music plays]
[Somber music continues]
Someone was here.
I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.
The candy was gone.
[Clattering]
[Dramatic music plays]
[Glass shatters]
[Dramatic music continues]
Are you real?
-The fuck?
-[Screams]
[Gunshot]
-Ah! Fuck!
-Whoa! Whoa!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Are you shot?
-No, it hit glass.
I got it in my fucking eye.
-It's fine. You're fine.
Everyone's all right.
-Are you real?
-The hell kind of question
is that?
-Yes, we're real.
I'm coming out there.
-No.
It's my house.
I'll come to you.
-Okay. Yeah.
It's your house. You come to us.
-Can you slide that bow
and arrow out here first?
-It's a crossbow.
-Huh?
-It's a crossbow. Fires bolts.
-Can you slide that crossbow
out here first, please?
[Music stops]
Okay, I'm coming in.
-See?
No weapons.
-You're real.
-Why does she keep
saying that?
-Why do you keep saying that?
-Sometimes I see people
who aren't really there.
-Aw. Yeah, no.
We're real, all right.
We were just passing
through the woods.
We saw your lanterns.
-Jack o' lanterns.
They're jack o' lanterns.
-Jack o' -- Right.
Jack o' lanterns. We were --
We were passing through,
saw the jack o' lanterns
on your porch,
and the front door was open
and we were just trying
to survive like everybody else.
-Pumpkin, is that you?
-They called me that.
-Okay. Can I?
-Fine.
-Okay, Pumpkin.
Oh, my gosh,
where are my manners?
My name is Thalia
and this is my husband, Royce.
-Thalia and Royce.
-Easy, easy.
How long you been out here
on your own?
-My fourth Halloween alone.
Are you sick?
-Would we be standing here
if we were?
[Chuckles]
-No.
-No.
So you don't have anything
to worry about.
Why don't you
take that mask off?
-The mask stays on.
-Okay.
Are you sure?
There's really nothing
to be afraid of.
And you do look
so pretty under there.
[Dramatic music plays]
It's -- It's -- It's okay.
Wendy, god damn it,
can you take that mask off?
You're gonna scare the shit
out of her.
This is Pumpkin.
This is her house.
-The fuck are you supposed
to be?
-A Hallowarrior.
-The fuck?
-Got anything to eat, Pumpkin?
-Candy.
-My family always had
full-size bars.
We used to be that house
in this neighborhood.
But those went bad pretty quick.
But powdered sugar
can last pretty much anything.
Even the end of the world.
Help yourselves.
-Thank you.
-Got anything stronger,
Pumpkin?
-Do you like Smarties?
-To drink.
Oh, right.
My parents keep that
under the cupboard.
I'm not old enough yet.
Though this -- this one
Christmas, when I was 6,
my brother and I thought
this eggnog in the fridge
was whole milk.
And we both poured it
all over our cereal.
And I threw it up
in his sneakers.
I'm sorry. I'm talking too much.
I'm not used to talking
this much with...people.
I'm sorry.
-No, don't you say sorry,
Pumpkin.
You can talk as much
as you want.
Under the cupboard you said?
Get that
-Under the cupboard. I got it.
-You lived here
with your folks?
-And my brother.
-And they are...
-Gone.
-Must be tough out here alone
so long, huh?
-It's been lonely, boring,
and hungry
now that the food's run out.
How about you guys?
-What about us?
-Well, the crops don't grow.
And grocery stores have been
picked clean for years.
What have you been
eating out there?
[Dramatic music plays]
-Whatever we can
get our hands on.
-And you live in the woods?
[Glasses clink]
-No, we're just passing through
headed south.
Gosh, it's been so long
since we've seen a fresh face,
especially a little girl.
-Last one of those
we came across
was our Wendy over here.
-Not a girl.
-[Chuckles]
-Anyways,
we saw the lanterns and then,
yeah, figured
someone must be home.
-I like to call them
junk o' lanterns
'cause, um, pumpkins don't grow.
You still have to carve, though.
It's the 31st.
-The hell does matter
what day it is anymore?
-Well, the 31st is special.
The veil between the living and
the dead is the thinnest today.
It's why we put out
the jack o' lanterns, candles,
and candy offerings.
It's to honor the dead.
-Seriously?
-It was my family's
favorite holiday.
Do you guys like haunted houses?
-Whole world's
a haunted house now, kid.
-So you don't celebrate
Halloween?
-Been a bit preoccupied.
-With?
-Not dying.
-You never went looking for
any other survivors or...
-I couldn't get far
on my bike.
And this house has been
in my family for decades.
It felt wrong to leave it,
to leave them.
-Well, just wait until
our family gets a load of you.
-There's more of you?
-Yeah. Yeah.
And they wear masks
just like you do.
-Masks?
-Mm-hmm.
It's been a rough few years.
[Chuckles]
[Dramatic music plays]
Left some of us worse for wear.
Baby.
Thank you.
This is a special medicine.
It helps ease the pain
and it helps us not get sick.
-What is it?
-Napalm.
-Cheeto dust.
-It's candy.
[Laughs]
You want some?
-[Gasps]
-Yes?
-We should take what she's
willing to share and leave.
-We're not bringing back
lollipops.
It's freezing out there.
Wax and the boys need
a warm place to stay the night.
-I don't want to stay
in this house.
It smells fucking weird.
-All right, you can take your
chances out in the woods, then.
The rest of us will stay here.
-How many?
-You know what?
Wendy's right.
It's getting late,
and I don't want to --
-Wait.
You don't have to leave.
-No, no, no. It's Halloween.
You probably want to
spend it alone and --
-No.
Um, it's fine. Um...
Your friends can come.
There's plenty of candy
to go around.
-Oh, that's very sweet of you,
Pumpkin.
Thank you.
-Fuck it.
Halloween, right?
[Dramatic music continues]
-All right, well, the camp is
just up the road.
-I'll go get them.
-No, no.
No, I got it.
-I'll go. I'm faster.
-I said I got it.
-You're leaving?
-Yeah, but I'll be back soon.
Don't worry. These two are gonna
keep you company, right, Wendy?
-Yeah, sure.
-Cool.
-Don't get too drunk.
-No promises.
-[Whines]
[Smooches]
-I'll see you up?
-Okay.
-[Humming to tune of Gounod's
"Funeral March of a Marionette"]
[Humming continues]
-What is that?
-It's just an old song.
Do you like it?
-I do.
-Thought you might.
Don't worry. I'll be back soon
with more trick-or-treaters.
-Thalia?
-Yes?
-[Breathes deeply]
-Just like I thought.
Pretty as a pumpkin.
[Humming to tune of Gounod's
"Funeral March of a Marionette"]
[Humming continues faintly,
echoing]
[Tinkling noise]
[Clattering noise]
-Are you gonna do it,
or do I have to?
-Don't touch me!
-You swear you're not the only
little girl around here anymore?
-I'm not a little girl.
-Neither is she.
-You sure about that?
She sounds like one.
-Hi!
Does...
anyone need anything?
-We're fine.
Got enough liquor and candy
for the winter.
-That your daddy's?
-Sorry?
-The piece. [Clears throat]
That belong to your daddy?
-My mom's.
-How many shells left?
-Enough.
-[Chuckles, sniffles]
-Want to carve
some jack-o'-lanterns?
-Can I see it?
-We could also go apple-bobbing?
-You can take the shells out.
I-I just want to see it.
Been a while since I held one
or even seen a loaded one.
[Clattering noises]
-Wendy: Oh!
-It's okay. It's just part of
the haunted house.
-[Laughs]
Somebody call Wendy's mommy.
You piss your pants again,
Wendy?
-Shut up!
-It's nothing to be scared of.
-I'm not scared.
Just startled.
-No, you look scared.
[Eerie warbling]
-The fuck!
-[Chuckles]
-Shut up!
[Warbling continues]
[Warbling stops]
-I used to get scared
in haunted houses,
but it's all just smoke
and mirrors.
Make them look one way,
then boo.
Scare them from the other.
Candy.
Helps when I get scared.
-Said I'm not scared.
[Glass thuds]
You made all these?
-Yeah.
I had a lot of free time.
-Out of what?
-Papier-mch, scraps.
Some are my mom and dad's, too,
from when they were kids.
-And those?
[Soft music plays]
-Those are new.
-Cute.
-I can show you how
to make the bats if you want.
-Mm, yeah.
Maybe.
-Or we could carve pumpkins.
Not real pumpkins,
but I have some stuff
we can carve.
Carving's my favorite.
Do you have a favorite?
-Favorite what?
-Halloween tradition.
-You talk a lot.
[Soft music plays]
Hayrides.
-What?
-Hayrides.
That was my favorite.
-How come?
-It just was.
-Do you like tractors?
-My sister did.
-I think there's a tractor
at Trager Farms.
I don't know how to jump it,
but maybe Thalia, Royce,
or one of their friends can.
-Sure.
-I mean,
Halloween's almost over,
but there's always next year.
And now that you all are here,
it will be nice
to have an extra pair of hands
with the decorations.
We can light a candle tonight,
too, for your sister,
if you want.
Or not. Never mind. I'm sorry.
-Listen, Pumpkin.
-You two thick as thieves yet?
-...touch me!
-You mad that the skeleton's
gonna give you nightmares?
-I get nightmares, too.
-Royce: Ahh.
Wendy gets them real bad.
[Glass thuds]
Ahh! Sleep-talking.
"Mommy!
Mommy, don't let it get me!
Mommy,
the skeleton's gonna get me!
-Shut up!
-"Mommy!
The skeleton's coming for me!
Don't leave me
in the haunted house, Mommy."
-Fuck you!
-Royce: [Chuckles]
[Suspenseful music plays]
Where's your mommy now,
Wendy?
[Chuckles]
-[Grunts]
-Pumpkin: Stop!
-Wendy: Oh!
-Pumpkin: What are you doing?
-[Grunts]
-Aah! [Groans]
[Gun cocks]
-Don't do that.
My house, my rules.
-Okay.
Your house, your rules.
-[Groans]
-Royce: We're all fine.
See?
No hard feelings, sweetheart?
Thatagirl.
-Wendy: [Whispering]
I'm not a fucking girl!
-Who do we have here?
-Just decorations.
-A couple of friendly ghosts?
-No.
-[Sniffs]
You're right, Wendy.
Place does have a smell to it.
-Wait! Don't!
-Oh, shit!
-Don't touch her!
-Holy shit.
-It's not what it looks like!
-Royce:
I knew something was off.
-[Coughing]
-Wait till Thalia sees this.
-Don't tell Thalia. Please.
-This is fucked.
-I was gonna put them back.
I swear I'll put them back.
I just --
I just didn't want to be alone
anymore.
Just -- Just please,
please don't go.
Please don't leave me.
[Gun clicks]
-This is a serious hand cannon,
Pumpkin.
-Hey.
-Eh, I'm gonna hold on to it.
Sit down.
-She's just a kid, Royce.
-Shut the fuck up, Wendy.
-Wendy: There's something
seriously wrong with her.
We need to leave.
-Royce: Here's what's gonna
happen next.
I'm gonna have a look around
this haunted house
and see what other secrets
you got.
Wendy here is gonna keep
an eye on you.
Right?
-[Inhales sharply]
-Royce: Make sure you
and the rest of your family
don't go wandering off.
Don't worry.
Once Thalia and the boys
get back,
we're gonna have
some Halloween fun.
Trick or fucking --
[Blade plunges]
-[Gasps]
-[Gasps]
-Oh, God.
-Pumpkin: [Breathing shakily]
-[Groans softly]
[Music climbs]
-[Grunts]
-Royce: [Grunts]
-Wendy: [Screams]
[Both grunting]
-Get off!
Get off!
-[Groans]
-Enough!
-[Gurgling]
[Thuds]
-[Breathing shakily]
[Spits]
Fucker had it coming.
-Seriously?!
-You need to leave. Get out.
-I'm not the bad guy here!
-You just killed someone
with a knife in my house.
-If you knew
what they had planned for you --
-Four years!
Four years,
I waited for someone to come!
Four years
I waited for a family!
And you just ruined it!
You ruined everything,
you monster!
-[Exhales sharply]
-I'm sorry I came here,
Pumpkin.
[Soft music plays]
-I'll talk to Thalia.
-Did you know
what she was gonna do to you
before we killed her husband?!
-Royce: [Groans]
-Fuck!
[Sighs]
-[Gurgles]
How many left?
-Why do you wear that?
-Makes it easier
to do things I don't want to do.
-What do you mean?
-Put on a mask and you can be
anyone under there --
boy, girl...
monster.
-Which one are you?
-Whichever one
helps me survive.
-I thought that's what Thalia's
medicine was for.
-Don't believe a thing
that which says.
That backwoods shit
they cooked up is not medicine.
It rots you from the inside
and it makes you hungry.
-[Sniffles] I have candy.
-[Scoffs]
-They don't eat candy, Pumpkin.
-Person: [Howls]
-Wendy: [Gasps]
You should be running!
-It's my house.
-Not anymore.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-Man: [Howls]
-Go!
-[Gasps]
[Breathing shakily]
[Doorknob rattling]
[Eerie music plays]
[Breathing shakily]
-[Chuckles]
[Glass squeaking]
I like your hair.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-I told you to run!
-They're everywhere!
[Gun clatters]
-[Groans]
Get that.
-Here. You take it.
I've never shot one.
-You're too small
to win in a knife fight,
but you fucked up Royce's hand
pretty good.
-I was aiming for his head.
[Breathing shakily]
-[Grunts]
Get closer next time.
-Do you talk or do I talk?
What's the plan?
[Knock on door]
-[Exhales sharply]
-Thalia: Trick-or-treat?
-[Gasps]
-Thalia: Trick-or-treat?
[Knocking on door]
[Footsteps]
[Knocking on door]
Royce!
Open up. We're here.
Royce.
Royce?
-Royce can't come
to the door right now.
-Pumpkin, is that you?
-Pumpkin: It's me.
-Thalia: Royce passed out,
didn't he?
-Sort of.
-[Grunts]
-[Gasps]
[Chains rattle]
-Thalia: Open up the door
and I'll wake his ass up.
-[Snorting]
-Thalia: Pumpkin?
-I don't think we can do that.
-[Breathing heavily]
-Why is that?
-I don't think there's
enough room for everyone.
-Thalia: I thought you wanted
to meet our family.
-[Snorting]
-I'm having second thoughts.
[Knocking on door]
-Thalia: Wendy, what did you do?
[Knocking on door]
Pumpkin...
listen to me, okay, not Wendy.
Pumpkin, Wendy's not a good girl
like you are.
Whatever's going on in there,
I bet she started it, right?
-Pumpkin --
-Thalia: Did she try and make us
sound like the bad guys?
Did she tell you what she did
to that nice, little family
that we met?
-Shut up, Thalia!
-Thalia: Pumpkin, listen to me.
Listen to me. Are you armed?
-Yes, I'm armed.
-Thalia: Good.
God damn it, I never should have
left you and Royce
alone with her.
I'm gonna make sure
that she doesn't hurt you, okay?
-Up the road, there's a farm.
We're gonna leave Royce there
in the morning, okay?
But you need to leave now.
I'm sorry.
-We're not going anywhere
without Royce, you little shit.
-[Breathing heavily]
[Chains rattling]
-[Grunts]
[Snorts]
-If I don't hear his voice in
five seconds, this place burns.
-No, don't!
-Thalia: 5...
4...
3 1/2...
3...
2...
-Royce: [Screaming]
[Music climbs]
-Pumpkin: Thalia, I said
I'd leave him at the farm!
-[Grunts softly]
-Pumpkin:
I said I'd leave him at --

I wanted to keep this clean,
but now you've pissed me off.
-Breather: [Breathing heavily]
-[Snorting]
[All muttering]
-[Gasps]
-[Roars]
[Dramatic music plays]
-How about it, boys?
-Don't watch.
-[Growling]
[Knife slicing]

-Gauze: [Groans]
-[Sobbing]
[Breathing shakily]
-Wendy: [Speaking indistinctly,
muted]
[Muted] Pumpkin!
We need to make a plan.
[Clearly] Pumpkin!
-There's this one.
I was afraid to be alone before.
But if this is what's left
of the world...
[Flesh ripping]
I should have just
gone through with it.
-What would they want for you?
-To wear my mask.
-So wear your mask.
They're not afraid of us.
But under here...
we can be anyone, anything.
This is a haunted house, right?
[Doorknob rattling]
Well, in here...
we're the monsters.
-[Grunts]
-[Grunting]
-And after?
-I don't know.
But I don't want to die
on Halloween.
Do you?
[Dramatic music plays]
-Thalia: Open up, Pumpkin.
Trick-or-treat?
-Worm: [Barking]
-Let's carve some pumpkins.
[Grunts]
[Drill whirring]
-Breather: [Screaming]
-Pumpkin: [Grunting]
-[Groaning]
[Down-tempo music plays]
-Wendy:
Don't fuck with that shit.
-It may come in handy.
[Grunts]
-[Mutters]
-Remember, a haunted house
is just smoke and mirrors.
-Remember to get closer
next time and make it count.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-One for the road
if we make it?
[Banging noise]

They'll hear you.
Shh!
-Pumpkin: [Breathing shakily]
[Knife plunges]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Chomping]
-Wax: Thalia wants you alive.
She didn't say anything
about that pretty hair of yours.
That's mine.
Oh, look at all that orange.
Like wildfire.
So beautiful.
If I had hair like this,
I could be pretty again, too.

[Flames whooshing]
-Wax: [Screaming]
-Holy shit!
-I had to.
-I know. Good job.
Here. You cover the front.
I'll take care of her.
-Should I --
-Not if you don't want to dig
that arrow out of her head.
-It's a crossbow.
It fires bolts.
[Banging noises]
-Go, go!

-Pumpkin, go!
-Hi, Pumpkin.
[Dramatic music plays]
-I don't like your family,
Thalia.
-Well, they don't like you,
either.
-You're not good people.
-There aren't any good people
left.
Where's Royce, Pumpkin?
Will you take me to him...
and we can go?
Hmm?
-Don't touch her!
Go, go!
[Groans]
[Groans]
[Thuds]
-I never liked you, Wendy.
-[Breathing shakily]
-Thalia: Pumpkin?
[Suspenseful music plays]
I like your style, Pumpkin,
the way you kill.
We could use a little girl
like you on the road.
-[Grunts]
-Royce: [Gasps]
[Groaning]
-No. No.
No.
-[Breathing shakily]
-No.
No.
[Music climbs]
[Dramatic music plays]
You little shit!
No more.
-[Grunting]
-Thalia: No more. No more games.
No more jack o' lanterns.
No more friends or family.
-[Gasping]
-What does Pumpkin have now?
Say it with me.
What does Pumpkin have now?
What does Pumpkin have now?!
-Candy!
[Suspenseful music plays]
-[Breathing heavily]
-[Groans]
-[Breathing heavily]
Where did you get that?
-Trick-or-treating.
-[Breathing heavily]
[Child laughing]
[Eerie music plays]
[Ringing noises]
[Exhales sharply]
Pumpkin...
what are you?
-A Hallowarrior.
-[Groans]
-It's a haunted house, Thalia.
In here...
we're the monsters.
-[Gasps]
-[Grunts]
-[Exhales sharply]
Monsters?
-That's right, witch.
-Do it.
Do it.
-Get up.
I said get up.
-You two deserve each other.
-Just shoot her, Pumpkin.
-No.
-Wait.
Now she can go.
-Don't make me regret it.
-One day you will.
[Spits]
-She'll be back.
But we should be long gone
by then.
[Sniffles]
-We?
-I just thought...
It's not much of a home anymore,
and...
I-I thought...
It might be nice
to not be alone.
-Yeah.
[Shovel scraping]
[Breathing shakily]
[Down-tempo music plays]
[Dramatic music plays]
Today's date is November 1.
If you're listening to this,
people called me Pumpkin.
I'm leaving behind candy,
a generator, and an old house.
If you find it,
take good care of it.
It holds a lot of memories.
If you're out there, you might
cross paths with us one day.
Until then, these
Hallowarriors are signing off.
Happy Halloween.
[Dramatic music plays]
[Videotape clicking]
-Okay,
my little trick-or-treaters.
What are we doing today?
Oh, stop!
Oh, Pumpkin. Easy, easy.
Careful with the knife.
-I have to keep you safe,
Mommy.
-Okay.
Thank you for keeping me safe,
my little warrior.
-Not a warrior.
A Hallowarrior.
[Somber music plays]
[Somber music continues]
[Music stops]
-[Chuckles]
[Spray paint rattles]
[Thud]
[Dramatic music plays]
-Happy Halloween, Mr. Tregor.
[Somber music plays]
[Radio static]
[Somber music continues]
-Hello?
Does anyone copy?
Today's date is October 31st.
This is an emergency broadcast
on all available channels.
If you're listening to this,
people used to call me Pumpkin.
[Somber music continues]
This is my last distress call.
And the fourth Halloween
I've worn this mask.
-[Sighs]
-I'm still celebrating today.
It's my family's
favorite holiday.
[Somber music continues]
My mom always said that
the boundary between the living
and the dead
is the thinnest on Halloween.
That's why we light
jack o' lanterns.
And leave out food
and candy offerings.
To honor the dead.
The crops have died off.
[Somber music continues]
And I don't have much left.
But I have candy.
So much candy.
[Bell jingles]
If there's anyone
listening to this...
-[Gasps]
-If there's anyone else
out there trick-or-treating...
my coordinates
are 39.446793 North,
76.702925 East.
[Spray paint hissing]
[Somber music continues]
I carved the junk o' lanterns.
I set up the apple bobbing.
The apples are rotten.
So is everything.
This will be a haunted house.
And you can celebrate with me.
Please.
[Somber music continues]
I don't want to wake up on
November 1st by myself again.
Sometimes I don't
want to wake up at all.
[Somber music continues]
I'll be here with my family.
I hope you can make it.
[Somber music continues]
=[Sighs]
-This is the last girl
on earth, signing off.
-Happy Halloween.
[Somber music plays]
[Somber music continues]
[Music stops]
No trick-or-treaters again?
Whatever. More candy for us.
-What are we doing today?
Oh, stop!
Oh, Pumpkin. Easy, easy.
Careful with the knife.
-I have to keep you safe,
Mommy.
-Okay. Thank you for keeping
me safe, my little warrior.
-Not a warrior,
a Hallowarrior.
-Okay. Sounds good.
So, what are you gonna carve?
A silly face? A scary face?
-Silly face.
-How about you, honey?
What are you gonna carve?
Ooh. Very scary.
-My jack o' lantern's a sad
jack o' lantern, Mommy.
-A sad jack o' lantern?
I thought it had a silly face.
-It's sad 'cause it has
no friends.
It's all alone.
-But we're all together,
Pumpkin.
It's not alone.
[Dramatic music plays]

-Hello?
Hello? Do you copy?
Can anybody hear me?
Are you real?
Answer me, please!
[Radio static]
No!
No, no!
Hello?
Hello?
Please!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Dramatic music continues]
-Pumpkin?
[Dramatic music continues]
Pumpkin.
-[Gasps]
It's not real.
They're not out there.
They're in here with me.
[Dramatic music continues]
You're going crazy, Pumpkin.
It's just the wind, Pumpkin.
[Rumbling]
[Dramatic music continues]
[Indistinct voices]
-Not a warrior.
A Hallowarrior.
[Dramatic music continues]
It's sad 'cause it has
no friends.
It's all alone.
-Pumpkin.
[Dramatic music continues]
Pumpkin.
Pumpkin.
-[Gasps, panting]
[Footsteps]
[Dramatic music plays]
Hello?
Wait!
Who's out there?!
[Dramatic music continues]
[Gasps]
[Dramatic music continues]
Come back!
Don't leave me!
Please!
I see you!
Please!
[Panting]
Aah!
[Dramatic music continues]
[Screams]
[Crying]
[Somber music plays]
[Somber music continues]
Someone was here.
I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.
The candy was gone.
[Clattering]
[Dramatic music plays]
[Glass shatters]
[Dramatic music continues]
Are you real?
-The fuck?
-[Screams]
[Gunshot]
-Ah! Fuck!
-Whoa! Whoa!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Are you shot?
-No, it hit glass.
I got it in my fucking eye.
-It's fine. You're fine.
Everyone's all right.
-Are you real?
-The hell kind of question
is that?
-Yes, we're real.
I'm coming out there.
-No.
It's my house.
I'll come to you.
-Okay. Yeah.
It's your house. You come to us.
-Can you slide that bow
and arrow out here first?
-It's a crossbow.
-Huh?
-It's a crossbow. Fires bolts.
-Can you slide that crossbow
out here first, please?
[Music stops]
Okay, I'm coming in.
-See?
No weapons.
-You're real.
-Why does she keep
saying that?
-Why do you keep saying that?
-Sometimes I see people
who aren't really there.
-Aw. Yeah, no.
We're real, all right.
We were just passing
through the woods.
We saw your lanterns.
-Jack o' lanterns.
They're jack o' lanterns.
-Jack o' -- Right.
Jack o' lanterns. We were --
We were passing through,
saw the jack o' lanterns
on your porch,
and the front door was open
and we were just trying
to survive like everybody else.
-Pumpkin, is that you?
-They called me that.
-Okay. Can I?
-Fine.
-Okay, Pumpkin.
Oh, my gosh,
where are my manners?
My name is Thalia
and this is my husband, Royce.
-Thalia and Royce.
-Easy, easy.
How long you been out here
on your own?
-My fourth Halloween alone.
Are you sick?
-Would we be standing here
if we were?
[Chuckles]
-No.
-No.
So you don't have anything
to worry about.
Why don't you
take that mask off?
-The mask stays on.
-Okay.
Are you sure?
There's really nothing
to be afraid of.
And you do look
so pretty under there.
[Dramatic music plays]
It's -- It's -- It's okay.
Wendy, god damn it,
can you take that mask off?
You're gonna scare the shit
out of her.
This is Pumpkin.
This is her house.
-The fuck are you supposed
to be?
-A Hallowarrior.
-The fuck?
-Got anything to eat, Pumpkin?
-Candy.
-My family always had
full-size bars.
We used to be that house
in this neighborhood.
But those went bad pretty quick.
But powdered sugar
can last pretty much anything.
Even the end of the world.
Help yourselves.
-Thank you.
-Got anything stronger,
Pumpkin?
-Do you like Smarties?
-To drink.
Oh, right.
My parents keep that
under the cupboard.
I'm not old enough yet.
Though this -- this one
Christmas, when I was 6,
my brother and I thought
this eggnog in the fridge
was whole milk.
And we both poured it
all over our cereal.
And I threw it up
in his sneakers.
I'm sorry. I'm talking too much.
I'm not used to talking
this much with...people.
I'm sorry.
-No, don't you say sorry,
Pumpkin.
You can talk as much
as you want.
Under the cupboard you said?
Get that
-Under the cupboard. I got it.
-You lived here
with your folks?
-And my brother.
-And they are...
-Gone.
-Must be tough out here alone
so long, huh?
-It's been lonely, boring,
and hungry
now that the food's run out.
How about you guys?
-What about us?
-Well, the crops don't grow.
And grocery stores have been
picked clean for years.
What have you been
eating out there?
[Dramatic music plays]
-Whatever we can
get our hands on.
-And you live in the woods?
[Glasses clink]
-No, we're just passing through
headed south.
Gosh, it's been so long
since we've seen a fresh face,
especially a little girl.
-Last one of those
we came across
was our Wendy over here.
-Not a girl.
-[Chuckles]
-Anyways,
we saw the lanterns and then,
yeah, figured
someone must be home.
-I like to call them
junk o' lanterns
'cause, um, pumpkins don't grow.
You still have to carve, though.
It's the 31st.
-The hell does matter
what day it is anymore?
-Well, the 31st is special.
The veil between the living and
the dead is the thinnest today.
It's why we put out
the jack o' lanterns, candles,
and candy offerings.
It's to honor the dead.
-Seriously?
-It was my family's
favorite holiday.
Do you guys like haunted houses?
-Whole world's
a haunted house now, kid.
-So you don't celebrate
Halloween?
-Been a bit preoccupied.
-With?
-Not dying.
-You never went looking for
any other survivors or...
-I couldn't get far
on my bike.
And this house has been
in my family for decades.
It felt wrong to leave it,
to leave them.
-Well, just wait until
our family gets a load of you.
-There's more of you?
-Yeah. Yeah.
And they wear masks
just like you do.
-Masks?
-Mm-hmm.
It's been a rough few years.
[Chuckles]
[Dramatic music plays]
Left some of us worse for wear.
Baby.
Thank you.
This is a special medicine.
It helps ease the pain
and it helps us not get sick.
-What is it?
-Napalm.
-Cheeto dust.
-It's candy.
[Laughs]
You want some?
-[Gasps]
-Yes?
-We should take what she's
willing to share and leave.
-We're not bringing back
lollipops.
It's freezing out there.
Wax and the boys need
a warm place to stay the night.
-I don't want to stay
in this house.
It smells fucking weird.
-All right, you can take your
chances out in the woods, then.
The rest of us will stay here.
-How many?
-You know what?
Wendy's right.
It's getting late,
and I don't want to --
-Wait.
You don't have to leave.
-No, no, no. It's Halloween.
You probably want to
spend it alone and --
-No.
Um, it's fine. Um...
Your friends can come.
There's plenty of candy
to go around.
-Oh, that's very sweet of you,
Pumpkin.
Thank you.
-Fuck it.
Halloween, right?
[Dramatic music continues]
-All right, well, the camp is
just up the road.
-I'll go get them.
-No, no.
No, I got it.
-I'll go. I'm faster.
-I said I got it.
-You're leaving?
-Yeah, but I'll be back soon.
Don't worry. These two are gonna
keep you company, right, Wendy?
-Yeah, sure.
-Cool.
-Don't get too drunk.
-No promises.
-[Whines]
[Smooches]
-I'll see you up?
-Okay.
-[Humming to tune of Gounod's
"Funeral March of a Marionette"]
[Humming continues]
-What is that?
-It's just an old song.
Do you like it?
-I do.
-Thought you might.
Don't worry. I'll be back soon
with more trick-or-treaters.
-Thalia?
-Yes?
-[Breathes deeply]
-Just like I thought.
Pretty as a pumpkin.
[Humming to tune of Gounod's
"Funeral March of a Marionette"]
[Humming continues faintly,
echoing]
[Tinkling noise]
[Clattering noise]
-Are you gonna do it,
or do I have to?
-Don't touch me!
-You swear you're not the only
little girl around here anymore?
-I'm not a little girl.
-Neither is she.
-You sure about that?
She sounds like one.
-Hi!
Does...
anyone need anything?
-We're fine.
Got enough liquor and candy
for the winter.
-That your daddy's?
-Sorry?
-The piece. [Clears throat]
That belong to your daddy?
-My mom's.
-How many shells left?
-Enough.
-[Chuckles, sniffles]
-Want to carve
some jack-o'-lanterns?
-Can I see it?
-We could also go apple-bobbing?
-You can take the shells out.
I-I just want to see it.
Been a while since I held one
or even seen a loaded one.
[Clattering noises]
-Wendy: Oh!
-It's okay. It's just part of
the haunted house.
-[Laughs]
Somebody call Wendy's mommy.
You piss your pants again,
Wendy?
-Shut up!
-It's nothing to be scared of.
-I'm not scared.
Just startled.
-No, you look scared.
[Eerie warbling]
-The fuck!
-[Chuckles]
-Shut up!
[Warbling continues]
[Warbling stops]
-I used to get scared
in haunted houses,
but it's all just smoke
and mirrors.
Make them look one way,
then boo.
Scare them from the other.
Candy.
Helps when I get scared.
-Said I'm not scared.
[Glass thuds]
You made all these?
-Yeah.
I had a lot of free time.
-Out of what?
-Papier-mch, scraps.
Some are my mom and dad's, too,
from when they were kids.
-And those?
[Soft music plays]
-Those are new.
-Cute.
-I can show you how
to make the bats if you want.
-Mm, yeah.
Maybe.
-Or we could carve pumpkins.
Not real pumpkins,
but I have some stuff
we can carve.
Carving's my favorite.
Do you have a favorite?
-Favorite what?
-Halloween tradition.
-You talk a lot.
[Soft music plays]
Hayrides.
-What?
-Hayrides.
That was my favorite.
-How come?
-It just was.
-Do you like tractors?
-My sister did.
-I think there's a tractor
at Trager Farms.
I don't know how to jump it,
but maybe Thalia, Royce,
or one of their friends can.
-Sure.
-I mean,
Halloween's almost over,
but there's always next year.
And now that you all are here,
it will be nice
to have an extra pair of hands
with the decorations.
We can light a candle tonight,
too, for your sister,
if you want.
Or not. Never mind. I'm sorry.
-Listen, Pumpkin.
-You two thick as thieves yet?
-...touch me!
-You mad that the skeleton's
gonna give you nightmares?
-I get nightmares, too.
-Royce: Ahh.
Wendy gets them real bad.
[Glass thuds]
Ahh! Sleep-talking.
"Mommy!
Mommy, don't let it get me!
Mommy,
the skeleton's gonna get me!
-Shut up!
-"Mommy!
The skeleton's coming for me!
Don't leave me
in the haunted house, Mommy."
-Fuck you!
-Royce: [Chuckles]
[Suspenseful music plays]
Where's your mommy now,
Wendy?
[Chuckles]
-[Grunts]
-Pumpkin: Stop!
-Wendy: Oh!
-Pumpkin: What are you doing?
-[Grunts]
-Aah! [Groans]
[Gun cocks]
-Don't do that.
My house, my rules.
-Okay.
Your house, your rules.
-[Groans]
-Royce: We're all fine.
See?
No hard feelings, sweetheart?
Thatagirl.
-Wendy: [Whispering]
I'm not a fucking girl!
-Who do we have here?
-Just decorations.
-A couple of friendly ghosts?
-No.
-[Sniffs]
You're right, Wendy.
Place does have a smell to it.
-Wait! Don't!
-Oh, shit!
-Don't touch her!
-Holy shit.
-It's not what it looks like!
-Royce:
I knew something was off.
-[Coughing]
-Wait till Thalia sees this.
-Don't tell Thalia. Please.
-This is fucked.
-I was gonna put them back.
I swear I'll put them back.
I just --
I just didn't want to be alone
anymore.
Just -- Just please,
please don't go.
Please don't leave me.
[Gun clicks]
-This is a serious hand cannon,
Pumpkin.
-Hey.
-Eh, I'm gonna hold on to it.
Sit down.
-She's just a kid, Royce.
-Shut the fuck up, Wendy.
-Wendy: There's something
seriously wrong with her.
We need to leave.
-Royce: Here's what's gonna
happen next.
I'm gonna have a look around
this haunted house
and see what other secrets
you got.
Wendy here is gonna keep
an eye on you.
Right?
-[Inhales sharply]
-Royce: Make sure you
and the rest of your family
don't go wandering off.
Don't worry.
Once Thalia and the boys
get back,
we're gonna have
some Halloween fun.
Trick or fucking --
[Blade plunges]
-[Gasps]
-[Gasps]
-Oh, God.
-Pumpkin: [Breathing shakily]
-[Groans softly]
[Music climbs]
-[Grunts]
-Royce: [Grunts]
-Wendy: [Screams]
[Both grunting]
-Get off!
Get off!
-[Groans]
-Enough!
-[Gurgling]
[Thuds]
-[Breathing shakily]
[Spits]
Fucker had it coming.
-Seriously?!
-You need to leave. Get out.
-I'm not the bad guy here!
-You just killed someone
with a knife in my house.
-If you knew
what they had planned for you --
-Four years!
Four years,
I waited for someone to come!
Four years
I waited for a family!
And you just ruined it!
You ruined everything,
you monster!
-[Exhales sharply]
-I'm sorry I came here,
Pumpkin.
[Soft music plays]
-I'll talk to Thalia.
-Did you know
what she was gonna do to you
before we killed her husband?!
-Royce: [Groans]
-Fuck!
[Sighs]
-[Gurgles]
How many left?
-Why do you wear that?
-Makes it easier
to do things I don't want to do.
-What do you mean?
-Put on a mask and you can be
anyone under there --
boy, girl...
monster.
-Which one are you?
-Whichever one
helps me survive.
-I thought that's what Thalia's
medicine was for.
-Don't believe a thing
that which says.
That backwoods shit
they cooked up is not medicine.
It rots you from the inside
and it makes you hungry.
-[Sniffles] I have candy.
-[Scoffs]
-They don't eat candy, Pumpkin.
-Person: [Howls]
-Wendy: [Gasps]
You should be running!
-It's my house.
-Not anymore.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-Man: [Howls]
-Go!
-[Gasps]
[Breathing shakily]
[Doorknob rattling]
[Eerie music plays]

-[Chuckles]
[Glass squeaking]
I like your hair.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-I told you to run!
-They're everywhere!
[Gun clatters]
-[Groans]
Get that.
-Here. You take it.
I've never shot one.
-You're too small
to win in a knife fight,
but you fucked up Royce's hand
pretty good.
-I was aiming for his head.
[Breathing shakily]
-[Grunts]
Get closer next time.
-Do you talk or do I talk?
What's the plan?
[Knock on door]
-[Exhales sharply]
-Thalia: Trick-or-treat?
-[Gasps]
-Thalia: Trick-or-treat?
[Knocking on door]
[Footsteps]
[Knocking on door]
Royce!
Open up. We're here.
Royce.
Royce?
-Royce can't come
to the door right now.
-Pumpkin, is that you?
-Pumpkin: It's me.
-Thalia: Royce passed out,
didn't he?
-Sort of.
-[Grunts]
-[Gasps]
[Chains rattle]
-Thalia: Open up the door
and I'll wake his ass up.
-[Snorting]
-Thalia: Pumpkin?
-I don't think we can do that.
-[Breathing heavily]
-Why is that?
-I don't think there's
enough room for everyone.
-Thalia: I thought you wanted
to meet our family.
-[Snorting]
-I'm having second thoughts.
[Knocking on door]
-Thalia: Wendy, what did you do?
[Knocking on door]
Pumpkin...
listen to me, okay, not Wendy.
Pumpkin, Wendy's not a good girl
like you are.
Whatever's going on in there,
I bet she started it, right?
-Pumpkin --
-Thalia: Did she try and make us
sound like the bad guys?
Did she tell you what she did
to that nice, little family
that we met?
-Shut up, Thalia!
-Thalia: Pumpkin, listen to me.
Listen to me. Are you armed?
-Yes, I'm armed.
-Thalia: Good.
God damn it, I never should have
left you and Royce
alone with her.
I'm gonna make sure
that she doesn't hurt you, okay?
-Up the road, there's a farm.
We're gonna leave Royce there
in the morning, okay?
But you need to leave now.
I'm sorry.
-We're not going anywhere
without Royce, you little shit.
-[Breathing heavily]
[Chains rattling]
-[Grunts]
[Snorts]
-If I don't hear his voice in
five seconds, this place burns.
-No, don't!
-Thalia: 5...
4...
3 1/2...
3...
2...
-Royce: [Screaming]
[Music climbs]
-Pumpkin: Thalia, I said
I'd leave him at the farm!
-[Grunts softly]

I said I'd leave him at --

-There's this one.
I was afraid to be alone before.
But if this is what's left
of the world...
[Flesh ripping]
I should have just
gone through with it.
-What would they want for you?
-To wear my mask.
-So wear your mask.
They're not afraid of us.
But under here...
we can be anyone, anything.
This is a haunted house, right?
[Doorknob rattling]
Well, in here...
we're the monsters.
-[Grunts]
-[Grunting]
-And after?
-I don't know.
But I don't want to die
on Halloween.
Do you?
[Dramatic music plays]
-Thalia: Open up, Pumpkin.
Trick-or-treat?
-Worm: [Barking]
-Let's carve some pumpkins.

[Down-tempo music plays]
-Wendy:
Don't fuck with that shit.
-It may come in handy.
[Grunts]
-[Mutters]
-Remember, a haunted house
is just smoke and mirrors.
-Remember to get closer
next time and make it count.
[Suspenseful music plays]
-One for the road
if we make it?

They'll hear you.
Shh!
-Pumpkin: [Breathing shakily]
[Knife plunges]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Chomping]
-Wax: Thalia wants you alive.
She didn't say anything
about that pretty hair of yours.
That's mine.
Oh, look at all that orange.
Like wildfire.
So beautiful.
If I had hair like this,
I could be pretty again, too.

[Flames whooshing]

-Holy shit!
-I had to.
-I know. Good job.
Here. You cover the front.
I'll take care of her.
-Should I --
-Not if you don't want to dig
that arrow out of her head.
-It's a crossbow.
It fires bolts.
[Banging noises]
-Go, go!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Thuds]
[Loud banging noises]

-Pumpkin, go!
-Hi, Pumpkin.
[Dramatic music plays]
-I don't like your family,
Thalia.
-Well, they don't like you,
either.
-You're not good people.
-There aren't any good people
left.
Where's Royce, Pumpkin?
Will you take me to him...
and we can go?
Hmm?
-Don't touch her!
Go, go!
[Groans]
[Groans]
[Thuds]
-I never liked you, Wendy.
-[Breathing shakily]
-Thalia: Pumpkin?
[Suspenseful music plays]
I like your style, Pumpkin,
the way you kill.
We could use a little girl
like you on the road.
-[Grunts]
-Royce: [Gasps]
[Groaning]
-No. No.
No.
-[Breathing shakily]
-No.
No.
[Music climbs]
[Dramatic music plays]
You little shit!
No more.
-[Grunting]
-Thalia: No more. No more games.
No more jack o' lanterns.
No more friends or family.
-[Gasping]
-What does Pumpkin have now?
Say it with me.
What does Pumpkin have now?
What does Pumpkin have now?!
-Candy!
[Suspenseful music plays]
-[Breathing heavily]
-[Groans]
-[Breathing heavily]
Where did you get that?
-Trick-or-treating.
-[Breathing heavily]
[Child laughing]
[Eerie music plays]
[Ringing noises]
[Exhales sharply]
Pumpkin...
what are you?
-A Hallowarrior.
-[Groans]
-It's a haunted house, Thalia.
In here...
we're the monsters.
-[Gasps]
-[Grunts]
-[Exhales sharply]
Monsters?
-That's right, witch.
-Do it.
Do it.
-Get up.
I said get up.
-You two deserve each other.
-Just shoot her, Pumpkin.
-No.
-Wait.
Now she can go.
-Don't make me regret it.
-One day you will.
[Spits]
-She'll be back.
But we should be long gone
by then.
[Sniffles]
-We?
-I just thought...
It's not much of a home anymore,
and...
I-I thought...
It might be nice
to not be alone.
-Yeah.
[Shovel scraping]
[Breathing shakily]

Today's date is November 1.
If you're listening to this,
people called me Pumpkin.
I'm leaving behind candy,
a generator, and an old house.
If you find it,
take good care of it.
It holds a lot of memories.
If you're out there, you might
cross paths with us one day.
Until then, these
Hallowarriors are signing off.
Happy Halloween.
