Cultural differences lead to incomprehension

I was wrong, I thought it was a comedy, and I was scared again~~~ But the plot is very compact and dizzying, but due to cultural differences (actually we don’t know the Halloween traditions enough), I don’t quite understand and a little bit The feeling of inconsistency didn't come to my mind until I read the film reviews. The director is really pious. There are so many hidden lines running through it, and there will be more discoveries when I read it again. Remember, "Pumpkin lantern, protect you from going home!"

Why is this film rated so high on IMDB? Maybe it's because we don't understand Halloween. There are blades in the candy because some bad guys deliberately put needles or blades in the candy for children to eat and hurt the children. This is a real thing. As for what happened to the werewolf, it is not very clear, and Halloween is not the night of the full moon, hehe.

Despite trying to figure out some of the mysteries, it still feels a bit messy. But it does not affect the freshness brought by the film, and it can completely attract people to watch it. Children are afraid of lack of love and neglect or even give up, but they cannot be morbidly pampered. I believe that many people are as confused about the werewolf as I am, and some statements about the jack-o-lantern make me want to know more about the origins behind Western Halloween.

[the kids on their way to the location of the Halloween School Bus Massacre]
Chip: You must really like Halloween.
Rhonda: You mean Samhain?
Chip: What?
Rhonda: Samhain, also known as All Hallows' Eve, also known as Halloween. Pre-dating Christianity, the Celtic holiday was celebrated on the one night between autumn and winter when the barrier between the living and the dead was thinnest and often involved rituals that included human sacrifice.
[awkward silence]
Rhonda: I like your eye patch.
Chip: Huh.

[the response of the kids after Macy tells them the school bus massacre story]
Sara: You are so full of shit.
Macy: Really? Well, then I guess you won't mind being first.
Sara: First what?
Macy: Eight victim, eight jack-o'-lanterns, each one representing a lost soul. So we're going to leave them by the side of the lake as an offering to those who died.
Chip: Oh.
