Detailed Synopsis
In 1968, Grandpa drives to Tommy's house and honks his horn. Tommy runs outside and Grandpa tells him Happy Halloween and offers him any pumpkin from the back of Grandpa's truck. Grandpa tells Tommy that he is very special and gives him a present and then leaves. Tommy throws the pulp at Vera as he carves the pumpkin and Vera complains to Amanda. Roger runs up to Vera with a toy rifle and tells her to give him all her candy. Tommy cuts his hand and licks his blood and tells Amanda, he likes the taste of blood. Amanda realizes Grandpa gave Tommy the pumpkin and smashes it. Bill asks Amanda why Grandpa favors Tommy and goes to confront Grandpa. Bill arrives at Grandpa's property and sees a group of Witches in the barn. Grandpa surprises Bill and tells him that he shouldn't have come. Bill tells Grandpa to leave Tommy alone and a Witch hits Bill in the head with a hammer and Bill is dragged back to his car and Grandpa pours gasoline on it and tells Bill to burn in Hell before lighting it on fire. Tommy opens the present Grandpa gave him and finds a medallion inside.
13 years later, Grandpa goes to Tommy's house and gives him a robe and tells him that tonight, Tommy shall learn what power is and then leaves. As Grandpa is driving away, Amanda stops him and tells him to stay away from Tommy and Grandpa tells her that he has great plans for Tommy. Grandpa grabs Amanda and tries to rape her like he did on Amanda and Bill's wedding day. Amanda pulls away and Grandpa angrily drives away. Beth goes to Tommy's house and Amanda tells her that Vera is getting ready. Beth plays a prank on Vera and asks her if Tommy is going to the party. Beth then tells Vera that she is going as Princess Diana. Sarge tells Roger that he is lucky that he gets to monitor a Halloween party. Tommy listens to music on his bed and daydreams that he is playing with a Dream Band. A version of Kali appears and starts to dance. The Dream Band sings a song about someone being the Devil's son. Kali makes the Dream Band members disappear, stabs Tommy with a trident and decapitates him. Roger rides his motorcycle home and Amanda tells him that Tommy keeps on acting up. Nora buys champagne and beer and Lou's Girlfriend sees Bob staring at Nora and asks him what Nora has that she doesn't. Bob says that he heard Nora has a tattoo on her butt and then tells Bob's Girlfriend that he heard Nora is into some weird stuff. Lou says Nora hangs out with Tommy and Lou's Girlfriend calls Nora a rich bitch. Brian then tells them that he promised Vera he would her decorate for the party. Grandpa sees Tommy with Nora and tells him that he must be pure for the ceremony that night and then tells Nora to drive Tommy home. Vera tells Beth that she plans on having sex with Brian that night. Amanda tells Roger that she doesn't like Vera hanging out with Brian. Vera introduces Beth to Roger and Beth flirts with Roger. Roger goes to speak with Tommy and tells Tommy he should do something with his life. Tommy pushes him to his closet door and shows Roger his Satanic alter. Amanda puts flowers on Bill's grave. Amanda overhears Beth tell Vera that she wants to have sex with Roger. Nora sees someone outside her house wearing devil costume and thinks it is Tommy. She lets them into her house and they stab Nora with a cultivator.
