It’s Halloween and Tim has to stay home with his mom after his dad is called into work. Mom has cancer and shouldn’t be disturbed. Apparently even if you shut the lights off, kids will ring the bell and bang on the door looking for candy. What sort of town is this?
Tim’s friends don’t care about his situation because he’s supposed to be their designated driver. On the way to Tim’s house, they decide to prank old Mr. Brownstone and steal a sack off his porch, unintentionally involving themselves in the legend of Aos Si.
While stealing the sack, one of them drops their phone. Later while at Tim’s, they receive a call from Mr. Brownstone telling them to bring the sack back. It’s filled with animals bits that he’s using as a sacrifice or offering
Every Halloween, Aos Si comes into the human realm where offerings are left to appease them. They collect their gifts while wearing costumes so they blend in. They also harvest those who do not appease them, marking their doors as a warning. This is extremely ineffective because no one knows what the symbol means.
When Tim and his friends go back to Brownstones, they find him dead. They think he killed himself, but his head is missing. When they decide to call the police, Nate pours alcohol on the phone so they can’t call. They discover they need to offer the body of a loved one as it’s the only way to stop from being killed once they are targeted. Nate says they should kill Tim’s mom since she’s going to die anyway. Good lord.
This town is weird. Why are high school students wandering the streets in costume? And why do kids ring doorbells for houses without lights on? And if Aos Si mark the houses to warn others to appease them, what good does it do when no one knows what the symbol means? And if this happens every year, why does no one seem to know it’s happening?
Ridiculous dialogue
Your mom needs to die.
