The Legend of Halloween Jack (2018)

After the police forget to advise a murder suspect of his rights, the evidence against him and his interview are thrown out and he is released.  Policeman Frank, victims relatives Jerry and Johnny, and the mayor decide it’s time for vigilante justice and murder the suspect. The mayor forces them all to swear a vow of silence about what they’ve done.

One year later on Halloween, Johnny’s guilt over the murder causes him to commit suicide on the burial spot.  Oh damn, blood on the grave site of a serial killer is never a good thing. Before you know it, the blood seeps into the ground and revives Jack. Now Jack is on the prowl to get revenge on those who killed him. Nuff said.

There is a bizarre scene at a Halloween party with a band. Jack jumps up on stage and says trick or treat. The crowd screams in horror. Why?  It’s a Halloween party. Why would they not be admiring what they would think is his costume? They would have no idea he was a corpse risen from the dead bent on revenge. Also why is he killing them? They didn’t do anything to him. So much for proclaiming yourself innocent of murder.
