Hack-O-Lantern

Grandpa, Grandpa, you came!

Happy Halloween, Tommy!

Nothing could keep me from seeing you,

on this, the grandest day of the year!

And Grandpa's got something very special for you.

I bet it's a pumpkin.

Take your pick of the patch.

That one.

What else you got in there, Grandpa?

This is something very, very special.

It's just for you.

Something for me?

Because I'm special?

Yes, Tommy!

Because you are very, very special!

My Pumpkin!

Stop it, you splashed me!

Mommy!

Mommy, tell Tommy to stop splashing me!

That's enough, Tommy!

I told you to let your father do the Jack-0-lantern later!

You're gonna cut yourself!

Trick or treat, give me all your candy

or I'll blow your head off!

Rodger,

would you learn how to talk nicely to your sister?

Bang, bang, you're dead!

Tommy, what did I tell you?

Yuck, yuck, yuck!

Tommy, we have to wash that!

But Mom, I like the taste of blood.

Grandpa says it's good for me.

Grandpa?

When did you see Grandpa, Tommy?

Did he give you that pumpkin?

What else did he give you?

Nothing, nothing.

We've been over this God knows how many times, Amanda,

and I still don't understand.

Why does he continue to single out Tom

over the other children, hmm?

You know, Amanda, the problem is he's your father.

And for some reason, you just don't want to confront him.

It's okay.

The only thing we'll have to do,

is for me to go deal with him myself.

No, Bill, please!

Just let it go.

I'll tell him not to come around here anymore.

Tried that once, it don't work.

Tell him again!

Bill!

Not tonight, please!

It's Halloween!

Damn it, woman.

Your father needs more than just a warning.

There's something about Tommy.

He's got some kind of hold over him,

and I don't want it.

So I'm gonna go talk to the man,

and get this done with.

Bill!

Hey, ain't gonna be gone long, okay?

I don't want you to worry about me.

We don't like trespassers here.

You shouldn't have come, Bill.

You listen to me, old man,

and you burn this into your brain.

I want you to stay away from my son.

Hmm...

And you leave him alone.

Tommy was never yours.

He belongs to something greater than you could ever imagine.

Don't give me this crap.

You come around him again,

I'm gonna bust you wide open.

Bye, Bill.

Now...

You'll never have to worry about Tommy again.

Burn in hell, Bill.

Hurry up, Tommy!

Come on, there's no time to linger!

I know, I know.

It's Halloween.

Yes.

This is not just any Halloween,

tonight is yours.

Tonight you learn what power is.

You will know your own strength.

Ceremony will begin at sundown.

The ceremony will allow you to prove yourself

to your creator.

Your master.

Hello, my lovely offspring.

Lay off him.

He is mine.

He is not your son.

He's mine.

Now...

We both know that Tommy belongs to the two of us, together.

Just leave him alone.

Let him have a life.

I have plans for Tommy.

He will be a leader.

You...

You've taken my husband from me.

Your husband came to us.

He shouldn't have done that.

You and your people took him.

You can't have my son.

My children...

They're mine.

They belong to me!

For 13 years my husband has been gone.

Your husband has always been here, with us.

You know that after all these years,

you are still a temptation to me.

You are beautiful,

and a lurid woman.

With no man for 13 years.

Don't you think it's about time

we did something about that?

No!

Stop hurting Tommy!

Stop ruining his life!

Learn, my sweet.

You must learn.

You cannot stop what is meant to be.

You have no power here.

The force of nature will conquer all.

That's not nature!

It's death!

Happy Halloween, Mrs. Drindle!

You must be Vera's friend, Beth?

Yes.

We're gonna get ready for the party together.

Where is she?

She's in the bathroom.

Does she know you're coming?

I hope not.

I plan on surprising her.

It's only a dummy, dummy!

God, Beth!

Happy Halloween!

It's my favorite day of the year!

Go figure!

You don't seem too thrilled.

Aren't you excited about the party tonight?

I dunno.

I mean, it's my mom.

Ever since my father died on Halloween night,

this day seems to really affect her, you know?

She hasn't gotten over it yet.

Poor woman.

She's had a lot of problems.

Yeah.

One of the bigger problems is living

right here in this house, huh?

So, is Tommy going to the party tonight?

You know him.

He hates to hang around with the rest of us.

So what are you going as tonight, huh?

I left my costume in your room.

Lam going as Princess Die.

Die?

You are gonna try to pass for royalty?

You never know, I just might meet my Prince Charming.

You're a lucky stiff, rookie.

Working a Halloween party,

while I'm stuck here doing paperwork.

Well, I'll be sure to carve a Jack-o-lantern

that looks just like you.

And to think it's in your own town.

How sweet.

Remember, Rodger,

I want you to check out that cemetery.

There's been another grave overturned.

Sure, Sarge.

I know it's a "grave" situation,

but I'll get to the bottom of it.

You're useless.

Tommy!

Can you hear me?

Go away, I'm busy!

Tommy!

You've got to stop all this!

You can't live like this!

I won't allow it!

I can hear nothing anymore.

You paint such a pretty little picture

Honest face and a perfect man

A misplaced soul that loves to hate

And it rots away your mind

You're the Devil's son

You're the Devil's son

You're the Devil's son

You're the Devil's son

You live to show me such a bad bad time

You go out of your way to destroy

You're growing old but you won't die
