Season 2, Episode 5:
"Halloween Candy"
This episode is widely regarded as one of the best of the whole series, and I can easily see why. A bitter old man refuses to hand out candy on Halloween, and the kids who insist he uses an opportunity to be a huge dick (like filling their bag with syrup.). Soon, a demon of sorts shows up, also asking for candy. He refuses, so the creature begins to wreck havoc. Soon, the old man is found dead in his home, having starved to death, his last foods being small peices of Halloween candy.
Good: This episode, much like the pilot, revolves around an old man who is a dick on Halloween getting his comeuppance. Moral of the story: Dont be an asshole on Halloween. The cinematography is superb, as is the acting. They do just the right amount of showing the creature off without completely revealing it, but the big reveal if its ugly mug is enough to make you pause for a moment.
Bad: Not a ton, aside from maybe the generic "demonic voice" the creature uses.
Overall this episode took the concept from the pilot, but did it so much better.
Grade: 9/10
