Regarding the structure
-----------------------
After the prologue of the film, in the opening of the comic format, it is obvious that the sentence "Four tales of terror" appeared! , The whole movie tells four horror stories, and part of the plots of the four stories are also mentioned in the form of comics in the title.
The whole film draws on the style of "Pulp Fiction" and consciously disrupts the story clues and divides them into several parts. This non-linear narrative mode is different from the linear sequence flow of general horror movies, but it appears to be just right in this movie: various Halloween elements meet and mix here-pumpkin head, werewolf, ghost, murderer 4 Each story tells a different event, but the common attributes and background (Halloween and old traditions) connect them closely. During this period, several stories overlap in time. The 4 stories are:
1. The perverted principal poisoned and killed children-just to pick heads for his sons and sons to carve
2. Mischief and tricky girls-another death tragedy in the quarry
3. Sex, lies and temptation-wolves The gorgeous transformation of the female Laurie "Early
Night " 4. Halloween Fright Night-the old man bravely fights the pumpkin head monster
Emma is killed by the pumpkin head for destroying the pumpkin lantern. It can't be counted as one of the stories. It can only be said to be the prologue and a small episode. From this began to lead to 4 stories, which are also an important time mark for the connection between the beginning and the end.
The bright lines that run through and connect the entire film are the laws of Halloween. As the on-site news reporter said, all halloween monsters and ghosts legends originated in Warren Valley, OHIO (this is also the place where the story takes place), and people here take tradition very seriously. The perverted principal said: These traditions were started to protect us. Although with the development of the times, these laws have been gradually ignored, but in the film, ignoring the laws will lead to killing. These rules are:
1. Wear a costume to disguise yourself as one of them. Wear a costume to disguise yourself as one of them.
Perverted principals and wolf girls use disguise to lure prey. The former pretends to be a mysterious vampire to seduce women, and the latter pretends to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to lure men.
2. Don't let the jack-o-lantern go out. It will protect you. Don't let the jack-o-lantern go out, because it can protect you. Emma, Metz and others were killed by kicking off the jack-o'-lantern.
3.Always check your candy. Do not forget to check your candy before eating candy. Fat Charlie vomited blood and died.
The dark line of the film is the Halloween school bus tragedy thirty years ago. Because the ghosts were drawn by the arrival of the children, they finally found the former driver Colin to take revenge.
Regarding the pumpkin head
-----------------------------The
film explains that the predecessor of Halloween is Samhain. In the animation at the beginning of the film, it is written that Samhain, also known as all Halloween's EVE, also known as Halloween, and the pumpkin head story is summarized as Meet Sam. Therefore, the pumpkin head can be the incarnation of Halloween. It maintains Halloween traditions and severely punishes those who violate the laws of Halloween, such as Emma who kills pumpkin lanterns and Colin who doesn't give children sugar.
In addition to the official appearance of the pumpkin head in the film, it also appears in: Rhonda leaves the quarry
while the school bus drove the wrong route. When the werewolf girl eats Steven, he let Colin go and hangs around in front of his house and sees Emma. Video sequence analysis of the act of extinguishing the jack-o-lantern : -----------------------------

Regarding the details
----------------------------------
1. Pervert Principal Steven Wilkins found that Charlie had broken the jack-o'-lantern and took more sugar unruly. This can also be seen as one of the reasons why Charlie was selected as the target.
2. In the conversation between Steven and Charlie, he mentioned that his father showed him something when he was a child and told him about Halloween traditions at that time. Maybe it’s a tradition in the Wilkins family to kill on Halloween. Steven’s dad showed him human heads when he was a kid.
3. In a conversation with his son Billy, it was revealed that he would have a date later, that is, to go out hunting women
. 4. The film has repeatedly suggested that Colin does not like children, from driving away the kid who wants candy to warning the next door Steven Children are not allowed in his yard.
5. The photo of Colin Burning is a group photo of the children in the previous school bus tragedy, suggesting that Colin is the driver, which is one of the reasons why he does not like children.
Answers to some doubts
--------------------------------
1. Why are these school bus ghosts only thirty years later? revenge?
First of all, ghost revenge must meet one condition, which is Halloween. This is the one night when the dead and all sorts of things roam free. Only this night will ghosts and ghosts wander around.
Secondly, the ghosts of the school bus were originally covered in dust, maybe it was the “reappearance of scenes” that Metz scared Ronda back then To these sleeping ghosts.
2. Does Steven choose children casually, or is he selective?
I personally prefer to be selective. First, Charlie broke the Halloween rules and smashed pumpkin lanterns all the way, and the debris on his feet was seen by Steven. Secondly, Charlie ignored Steven's note and stole a lot of sweets. Again, Charlie's habit of eating sweets is also well known by the principal Steven. Based on various circumstances, Stiewen didn't like this fat man (son Billy also called Charlie Asshole), plus Charlie's unruly and gluttonous habits, it was very simple to poison him.
3. What was Steven's motive for killing?
Steven's killing may be a family tradition. From the conversation between him and Charlie, we can vaguely feel that this bloodthirsty habit in his family was cultivated since childhood, just like his son is not afraid to take pleasure in the head of a dead man. It is also possible that his family inherited this bloodthirsty gene, full of madness and neuroticism. From the perspective of Billy putting on his dad’s clothes and his dad’s glasses at the end of the film, the director used this symbolic element to imply that Billy’s bloodthirsty gene has penetrated into his bones. Even if his father dies, his son will inherit this tradition. Inherit.
