Questions about this movie (spoilers)


1. When the kids are on the lake, after making a prank on the witch-girl, the oldest boy said that they should pack and leave, and everybody else seems to disagree. But minutes later, something happened and the lead girl pleas him to leave asap, but then he tells her to wait or something.

2. At the end, after the skeleton or whatever attacked the old man, should we believe that after all that happened to him, instead of going to the hospital or something, he covered himself in bandages in less than 10 minutes and then he was off giving candy to kids?

What confused me in this movie was that I thought that the first murder had been committed by the principal so the ending did not make sense. But it was an easy mistake, when the principal went to bury the kid's body, there was already a body there, so I naturally assumed it was the first murdered woman's body.

I think he was telling them to wait so he could listen. They might've thought that it was another group of kids playing a prank on them.

He couldn't really explain to the cops/medics what happened... they'd think he was a nutter and lock him up in a psych ward. Plus I think he was trying to lay low. I also don't think that it was less than 10 minutes. I mean it was like 10 minutes our time but if you followed the timeline Sam visited him earlier in the evening and Sam went to the woods with the werewolves and walked the witch girl home. I think the bus kids came knocking at the very end of the night.

The timeline is a bit confusing when you first watch it. I honestly assumed that the other body was his wife's. It couldn't have been the girl he killed at the parade because he left her on the sidewalk and earlier in the evening when he's getting ready to carve the "pumpkin" with his son he mentions that it has to be quick because he has a date. The date is the woman that he killed in the alley before he followed little red riding hood into the woods where she killed him.

The old man was a recluse who hated dealing with other people, so it makes sense he'd just do the best he could on his own. He began giving out candy because he learnt his lesson.

Don't we see Sam watching the couple at the beginning or is it only at the end? Anyway her body was strung up on their lawn so it couldn't have been in the grave. It must have been another kid.

You have a TERRIBLE attention span.
