Two Days Before Halloween

WALLACE HOUSE

A kid is putting a skull in front of a headstone on the lawn in the front yard, decorating for Halloween. A woman walks up with a big candy bucket in her left hand, and a pumpkin and grocery bag in the other. The woman walks up the stairs, onto the porch and into the house.

WALLACE KITCHEN

A baby is being fed some orange baby food by a man. The woman walks in and sets the pumpkin on the counter along with the grocery bag.

"Ooh –" Mrs.Wallace Says

"How was the store?" Luke Asks

"Oh, madness, Everyone in town was stocking up. She reaches over to the baby in the chair, Hi sweetie." Mrs.Wallace Says As She walks over to a cupboard above the counter and opens it to put the pail of candy away.

"Did, uh, you get enough?" Luke Asks

"Oh, hey, I had to arm wrestle Norma Bleaker for these." Mrs.Wallace Says

"Honey, she's 74." Luke Says

"And a lot stronger than she looks, Luke reaches for the candy to take a piece, she swats his hand away. Ah-ah-ah, remember last year? We ran out at 6:30." Mrs.Wallace Says

"It's just one piece." Luke Says As He goes to reach for a piece again, and she swats his hand away again.

"Ah-ah-ah-ah, you can have as much as you want after Halloween,Who needs a bath? Huh? Huh? She lifts the baby out of the high chair. Oh, there we go! You coming?" Mrs.Wallace Says

"I'll uh, I'll be up in a minute." Luke Says

"Okay." Mrs.Wallace Says After she leaves Luke turns and opens the cupboard and gets a piece of candy.

"Oh –" Luke Says As He pulls out his fingers and there is blood on them. He reaches back in, moaning in pain as he pulls a double sided razor free and takes it out of his mouth, blood coming out of the cut as he does. When he looks at it, he starts to gag, and grabs the countertop as he leans over and starts spitting blood. He spits out another razor blade and continues to spit blood and kneel over. Luke spits another razor blade and falls down onto the floor.

"Luke, what's taking you so long?" Mrs.Wallace Says

She walks back in holding the baby and sees him on the floor, blood starting to pool around his open mouth, and his eyes staring blankly.

"Oh, my God. Oh, my God!" Mrs.Wallace Says Then She screams.

WALLACE KITCHEN

One Day Before Halloween

"Now how many razor blades did they find?" Sam Asks

"Two on the floor, one in his stomach and one was stuck in his throat. He swallowed four of them. How is that even possible?" Mrs.Wallace Says As She notices Dean looking around the front of the stove and in the oven door.

"Don't Know" Elena Says

"The candy was never in the oven." Mrs.Wallace Says

"We just have to be thorough, Mrs. Wallace." Dean Says

"Did the police find any razors in the rest of the candy?" Elena Asks

"No, I mean, I don't think so, I just – I can't believe it. You hear urban legends about this stuff, but it actually happens?" Mrs.Wallace Says

"More than you might imagine." Elena Says

Dean emerges from the floor, and shows Sam and Elena a hex bag, behind Mrs.Wallace back so she can't see, and makes sure to keep her from seeing it. Sam sighs and looks at Mrs.Wallace

"Mrs. Wallace, did Luke have any enemies?" Sam Asks

"Enemies?" Mrs.Wallace Says

"Anyone who might have held a grudge against him?" Sam Says

"What do you mean?" Mrs.Wallace Says

"Co-workers? Neighbors? Maybe a woman." Sam Says

"Are you suggesting an affair?" Mrs.Wallace Says

"Is it possible?" Sam Says

"No! No, Luke would nev–" Mrs.Wallace Says

"I'm very sorry. We just have to consider all possibilities." Sam Says

"If someone wanted to kill my husband, don't you think they'd find a better way than a razor in a piece of candy he might eat?" Mrs.Wallace Says

MOTEL ROOM

Sam and Elena are sitting on a couch, Sam has his laptop and a few books on the coffee table in front of them, Elena is flipping the pages of the books. Sam picks up something from the hex bag that looks organic, and holds it up. Dean enters the room and tosses his keys on the table under the window, and unwraps a piece of candy before tossing it in his mouth. Sam sees him do this.

"Really? After that guy choked down all those razor blades?" Sam Says

"It's Halloween, man." Dean Says

"Yeah, for us every day is Halloween." Elena Says
As Dean sits down on the arm of the couch and looks at Their research.

"Don't be a downer. Anything interesting?" Dean Says

"Well, we're on a witch hunt, that's for sure, but this isn't your typical hex bag." Sam Says

the hex bag that is open now on the table. There is a silver piece, the size of a coin, and something small and charred

"Hmm, no?" Dean Says As Sam picks up the dried up flower looking piece.

"Goldthread, an herb that's been extinct for two hundred years. And this, He picks up the silver piece, is Celtic, and I don't mean some new age knock-off. It looks like the real deal, like 600 years old real." Sam Says As Dean has picked up the small charred thing and smells it.

"And um... that is the charred metacarpal bone of a newborn baby." Elena Says

"Ugh." Dean Says

"Yeah" Elena Says

"Gross." Dean Says

"Relax man, it's like, at least a hundred years old." Sam Says

"Oh, right, like that makes it better? Witches, man, they're so friggin' skeevy, Elena Glares at him, Of course not you Elena" Dean Says As he moves over to the chair next to the couch and sits down.

"Yeah, well it takes a pretty powerful one to put a bag like this together. More juice than we've ever dealt with, that's for sure. What about you? Find anything on the victim?" Elena Says

"This Luke Wallace? He was so vanilla that he made vanilla seem spicy, I can't find any reason why somebody would want this guy dead." Dean Says

BASEMENT

There is a party going on of high school aged kids. Two girls, one dressed in a nurse outfit is Jenny and the one dressed in a cheerleader outfit is Tracy. They walk through the party, and a guy dressed in full costume walks between them, bumping into them.

"Hey." He Says

"This party blows. We should just go TP somebody." Jenny Says As Tracy looks at her, but turns around and sees someone and walks over.

"Uh, hey Justin." Tracy Says

"Yo." Justin Says

"You break into the booze yet?" Tracy Asks

"Uh, it's triple locked. So, you guys going to that mausoleum party tomorrow night?" Justin Says

"Are you gonna be there?" Jenny Asks

"It's gonna be rad. I'm gonna get so baked!" Justin Says

"Well, it's gotta be better than this G-rated assfest." Jenny Says

"Oh, come on, it's not that bad, Oh check it out." Tracy Says

"Okay, bobbing for apples is lame." Jenny Says

"Oh, come on, it's Halloween." Tracy Says

"Mmm... lame." Justin Says

Tracy gives him a look, and turns back around, kneeling down in front of the tub, and holds her hair as she bobs for an apple and gets one on the first try, her short cheerleader skirt coming up in the process. Tracy turns around in victory, and takes a bit out of the apple.

"I stand corrected." Justin Says

"Well, I wanna try." Jenny Says

Tracy goes back and stands next to Justin while Jenny goes to the tub, kneels down, and tries, but can't get an apple. She tries again, and misses. The third time she tries, her face gets stuck under the water.

"Wow, she can really hold her breath." Justin Says

Tracy laughs at him, but Jenny still doesn't come up, and starts to struggle, her heels scraping across the floor trying to get some leverage. Tracy and Justin finally realize something is wrong, and Tracy goes over to the tub and kneels beside Jenny.

"Jenny?" Tracy Says

But Jenny continues to struggle to no avail, and Tracy turns around to Justin.

"Help me!" Tracy Says

Justin goes to help Tracy The Pull on Jenny

"Jenny, what's wrong?" Tracy Asks

Tracy and Justin continue to pull Jenny, but can't get her head above the water.

"Help!" Tracy Says As Justin tries to pry Jenny's hand off the side of the tub, but can't get it loose either.

"Come on, let go." Justin Says

The water in the tub starts to bubble and steam rises off the surface.

"What is happening?" Justin Says

"Jenny, come on!" Tracy Says

Jenny screams under the water and her face turns red as she struggles.

"Help! Jenny! Jenny!" Tracy Says

Then Jenny stops struggling.

"Jenny." Tracy Says As Justin pulls Jenny up out of the water, and her face is boiled.

"Oh, oh my God." Justin Says As Tracy holds her mouth and stares at Jenny.

Later On, Elena, Sam and Dean come down the stairs to the scene of the crime, where Jenny was killed. There is a guy with a 'Forensic' jacket on taking pictures of the bobbing for apples tub, and a police officer talking to Tracy.

"Have you been drinking?" Police Officer Asks

"Yes." Tracy Says As Sam goes to join the questioning and Dean puts his hand up stopping him.

"I got this one." Dean Says As he licks his lips, and Sam and Elena sighs.

"Two words: jail bait." Sam Says

"I would never –" Dean Says As Elena just rolls her eyes at Dean, She and Sam walks over to the couch and starts lifting the cushions, looking for a hex bag. Dean smirks behind Their backs.

"It's just so weird. The water in the tub – it wasn't hot, I had just been in there myself." Tracy Says

"Your friend didn't happen to know a man named Luke Wallace?, Agent Seger, F.B.I." Dean Says

"Um, who's Luke Wallace?" Tracy Says

"He died yesterday." Dean Says

"I don't know who that is." Tracy Says As Elena holds up a hex bag that She has found in the couch cushions. Dean nods at her

MOTEL ROOM

Dean is on the computer at the table, Sam is lying on the bed looking through books, Elena Is Sitting At The Table Across from Dean Reading, Sam sits up looking intently at a book he is reading.

"I'm telling you, both these vics are squeaky clean. There is no reason for a wicked bitch payback." Dean Says

"Maybe cause it's not about that." Sam Says

"Wow, insightful." Dean Says

"Maybe this witch isn't working the grudge, maybe they're working a spell. Check this out."

"What" Elena Says

"Three blood sacrifices over three days, the last before midnight on the final day of the final harvest. Celtic Calendar, the final day of the final harvest is October 31st." Sam Says As he hands Dean the book.

"Halloween." Dean Says

"Exactly." Sam Says

"What exactly are the, uh, blood sacrifices for?" Dean Asks

"Uh, if I'm right, this witch is summoning a demon, and not just any demon – Samhain." Sam Says

"Am I supposed to be impressed?" Dean Says

"Dean, Samhain is the damn origin of Halloween. The Celts believe that October 31st was the one night of the year when the veil was the thinnest between the living and the dead, and it was Samhain's night. I mean, masks were put on to hide from him, sweets left on doorsteps to appease him, faces carved into pumpkins to worship him. He was exorcised centuries ago." Sam Says

"Oh Yeah Now I Remember Samhain, My Mother Once Told me a story about it when I was little and how scared everyone was back in the 14th century " Elena Says

"Your Mom Used to tell you bedtime stories about that?" Dean Asks

"Yeah It was her way of making me fall asleep, I know I had a weird childhood" Elena Says

"No Kidding" Dean Says Then Elena Playfully Hits Him

"So even though Samhain took a trip downstairs, the tradition stuck." Elena Says

"Exactly, only now instead of demons and blood orgies Halloween is all about kids, candy and costumes." Sam Says

"Okay, so some witch wants to raise Samhain and take back the night?" Dean Asks

"Dean, this is serious." Sam Says

"I am serious." Dean Says

"We're talking heavyweight witchcraft. This ritual can only be performed every six hundred years." Sam Says

"And the six hundred year marker rolls around...?" Dean Says

"Tomorrow night." Sam Says

"Naturally." Dean Says

He looks down at the book he has flipped to a page showing a demon on a heap of bodies holding a head in his hand.

"Well it sure is a lot of death and destruction for one demon." Dean Says

"That's because he likes company. Once he's raised, Samhain can do some raising of his own." Sam Says

"Raising what, exactly?" Elena Asks

"Dark, evil crap and lots of it, I mean, they follow him around like the friggin' Pied Piper." Sam Says

"So we're talking ghosts." Dean Says

"Yeah." Sam Says

"Zombies." Dean Says

"Mm-hmm." Sam Says

"Leprechauns?" Dean Says

"Dean –" Elena Says

"Those little dudes are scary. Small hands." Dean Says

"Look, it just starts with ghosts and ghouls, this sucker keeps on going, by night's end we are talking every awful thing we have ever seen. Everything we fight, all in one place." Sam Says

"It's gonna be a slaughterhouse." Dean Says
