As it may seem obvious by now, I saved one Episode for the right time. Let's take one last look (from Season 1) at a story from the Creepshow.
This is...
A group of young people are getting ready to go out Trick or Treating on Halloween.There's some tension about why they are 'still doing it.' Why?
One of them has to bring their little Brother along as well.

What's up with the kid and him not talking?
Why do the Adults in Town seem far less than happy to see these kids again?

I mean, I don't like getting up every three minutes to give out candy, but I'm not that morose.
Why do the Parents freak out so much when the teens arrive?

To find out, stream the Show.
An interesting tale that plays out in a fairly-unique way. I like the way they play coy about what is going on for so long. They play up the teens 'being tired of it,' which could just be them growing up and out of Halloween. Of course, if you know the story, you know what they are *actually* tired of. No SPOILERS here. All of the mysteries are set up nicely and pay off just as nicely. Seeing the sad Parents is confusing at first, but is explained. Likewise, seeing the angry, defensive Parents (like above) is also explained. When you finally know the whole Story, it all makes sense. The Acting is good here, being dramatic when necessary and fun when necessary. There's a nice biting wit to the whole tale. It's also not exactly a *happy* tale (from most points of view). It's not the most unique tale. It is not the scariest tale. It is, however, a good Horror Tale for this Season and I have no regrets about saving it for now. If you are actually holding a Halloween Party in this crazy time (and please do it safely), I recommend this as an easy watch. Oh and delaying this Review also means that this Teaser is closer to fruition now...
