I like how this show continues showing that Pump and Skid aren't terrible children. They need to be more trusting and a bit overzealous. They want to have fun like any kid does. They're also not stupid; they notice things. They feel like burdens to their parents, which is something a lot of kids feel.

Honestly, I felt kinda bad for the Priest after he got that reaction from the kids when he exorcised Molluk back to hell, because they didn’t understand the danger of what Molluk was doing to everyone including themselves and genuinely thought he was their friend. And the Priest didn’t even take their anger personal, he just limped back to his church without even looking for thanks, despite his injuries. He was honestly a great character for real throughout the entire episode. I also like how this episode gave the boys actual character substance with relatable issues such as complicated parent and child dynamics. All in all this episode was a solid 10/10 in my book.

[@KirbyStarAnimation]

The way this episode highlights the good and bad of almost all the main characters besides the cops is perfect and even they got a great but short moment. Starting with the less important ones: Frank is rightfully untrustworthy based off him being a kidnapper but he genuinely cares about the kids and is a helpful ally to them. Jaune is a very supportive friend but struggles to actually give advice to Lila on how to improve herself. Roy is a genuinely good kid in a horrible situation where the only people who are good to him are trying to be taken away from him by his own mother which causes him to take it out on others who don’t deserve it. Kevin is a nice guy who tries his best to deal with the kids in a nice way but he can be incredibly harsh on himself and his situation. Lila is a widow with a hyperactive child who dearly loves her son and will do anything to protect him but when things get tough she’ll usually avoid her problems by sending skid to play with pump. Father Gregor has good intentions with trying to help the kids and others but also let’s his biases cloud his judgement in situations which is exemplified by him making skid and pump believe that they need to do better for their parents to be proud of them which something incredibly insensitive to say to two 6-8 year olds. Lastly our main duo of skid and pump are kindhearted and well intentioned kids who are incredibly oblivious which leads to them unknowingly causing problems for others while they’re trying to have fun. Great series and I can’t wait to see how it continues.

Meanwhile, we also have characters like: Rick, who's just so tired and depressed that he doesn't even try. Moving between job after job, quitting usually after a few days. He sold kids beer once. Ignacio hates everything and everyone. He lives alone in his very borded up house, has nothing nice to say about anyone, and is not afraid to pull a gun on someone. He might also be a cultist, specifically the one who burned down John's house. Mayor Evermore is your typical no-nonsense politician. He also has nothing nice to say and is always looking for ways to gain more power. He made it illegal for anyone except the police to own firearms, he's ready and willing to replace his workforce at a moments notice, and he's not afraid of making back alley deals, when he hired the hobos to commit arson. He also might be mixed up in the cult.

[@mekhj4278]

I love Gregor's character depth- all throughout he is both an all-too-serious and judgy old man who is heavy-handed and too strict with the children, but when it comes down to it he very much genuinely cares about them and all his fellow man and is willing to risk his life and tank demon bites to protect the town and do his job. And we see at the end that he gets next to no appreciation for genuinely good advice to Lila. He's not a one-note character you can write off as all good or all bad, but the summation of all his best and worst traits is ultimately that he cares for others and is serious about his faith. Hope to see him resist Eyes's influence later and await rescue

[@synsvids]

He sounds like the kind of pastor/priest I'd want, not the one I have. He's a bit.. "How do you do fellow kids?" kinda way, which isn't the best when you wanna ask them for advice, because you perceive them to be not as wise (I hope this makes sense)

[@silverstar1614]

​@@synsvidsThis character is actually one of the best depictions in media i ever daw of how the ideal priest should act according to Christianity. Rigid when needed, soft when possible, faithfull to the teachings but forgiving for the sins of others... man, if only i found more people like him to teach me literally how to live...

[@samanthakelly718]

No seriously Gregor's a great character and an interesting foil to Skid and Pump. Skid and Pump are friendly but easily manipulated to a dangerous degree, while Gregor's extremely strict, but resilient in his faith for the good of everyone. He's honestly the hero this town needs.

Fun Fact: Moloch is a real demonic entity from old Jewish folklore. People used to sacrifice their firstborn children to him by igniting the interior of Moloch's statue/furnace and burning them inside of it. It became such a problem that according to the Bible it came to a point where they had to make a law to stone anyone they found doing this.

[@sanguine5275]

@@mariotuber2866 didn’t want to make the original comment too long but I was mostly referring to them summoning Moloch. That caused some characters to die or get harmed, and it’s even worse knowing now that Dexter could have lived from the possession but they told Moloch to turn their head around which snapped his neck. If Father Gregor didn’t exercise them when Skid and Pump voluntarily got possessed, that likely would’ve been it for them. Besides Moloch though, the most they’ve done is just mischief (not counting them causing the death of Roy’s Uncle cause I consider that a good thing). As for Dexter’s Soul I thought that maybe his soul got lost somehow due to Moloch being in his body when they died, not really sure how that whole possession thing works. If it was the Cults doing then that will slide, if it had something to do with Moloch then that’s another thing to pin on Skid and Pump

And also its really cool storyline about the kids-parents relationships. Skid's mom is not a bad mom, she just prefers not to solve her problems and cover her anxiety and sadness with alcohol, and that Pump feels lonely without the help and guidance from his parents, they both feel like they're a bargain for their parents, and actually most children in these kind of situations think about it in this way, like they are the trouble.

[@The_Great_Butler]

While Father Gregor was rough in his approach, you could really tell he genuinely wanted to help and protect the kids, even if Skid and Pump took the message he was trying to give the wrong way a bit, partially his own fault for being so blunt and unmoving. He doesn't have the social grace, the demeanor, or tact to talk to kids about this sort of thing in a way that really communicates what he wants to impart. He didn't even realize his guidence was a little too straightforward for ones as well meaning and innocent as Skid and Pump to get fully. Being kids, they thought they needed to be forgiven, else they wouldn't be loved by their parents or that bad things would happen, when all Father Gregor wanted was for them to behave so they wouldn't get hurt or worry their parents. He wanted them to apologize, and move on (words like "forgiveness" are really easy for a kid to latch onto and worry about). Father Gregor knows how sacred the bond between a parent and their child is and cares about it deeply himself and for them, and that's why he, albeit far too rigidly, stayed by their side to try and encourage them to be kinder and to help them build a better understanding of the world. While his approach may not be what works best for Skid and Pump, it was a lesson the kids had to learn eventually. Also, Lila 100% needed to hear that, and Father Gregor was probably the only one willing to say it so upfront. I really like Father Gregor and hope to see him again.

Father Gregor is human and rightfully calls out Lila for not watching her kid. I don’t think Pelo is religious so it’s nice to see him still respect other’s religions. Especially since the church is right, the holy water does work and Father Gregor successfully exorcized moloch multiple times. Good job Pelo, no notes.

[@redballoon9007]

So this episode’s sub theme was definitely parental neglect on both Skid and Pump’s end and as much as I like Lila, I think she needed to hear that from Father Gregor and hopefully she’s gonna prioritize Skid more. But one thing that I don’t see anyone talking about is how they handled the more “controversial” side of the church and it’s morals. It is refreshing that the priest wasn’t a creep but I’m glad that the episode didn’t shy away from still criticizing how Christianity handles “forgiveness”, how not everyone is going to forgive you, how the mentality that “you should always apologize even when you were the one hurt” can be a harmful mentality to have. And then there’s the whole mentality that you have to be “good” for your parents to love you. Despite the priest having good intentions, he put it into Skid and Pump’s minds that the way they are now would cause their parents to not love them when it reality, they are (or should be) loved as they are. And then there’s the whole commentary on priests taking in children and (kinda indoctrinating) them at a young age. I can’t blame some of the towns folk for being skeptical about Father Gregor following Skid and Pump cus….it looks weird lol. And of course then there’s the SLIGHT demonization of Halloween with that comment on Skid and Pump’s costumes. So overall, while not a completely terrible person, Father Gregor does still has flaws but I think that makes him a really solid character.

[@djamtz]

I'm just glad Sr Pelo didn't make the priest the uptight, overly-religious guy that's a common Christian stereotype but that like everyone, we got good things about us just yeah we have flaws Sure, as a real Christian We shouldn't be judgmental which I admit he was a little bit but at least he trys to lend a caring hand in the right direction if I got that right. I feel like something about Jesus might fit in the well but I'm still growing as a child of a God And anyone who is a spiritual Christian who's a bit experienced, feel free to talk to me but still Happy Easter!

[@smolse6854]

Good to see how they're handling the complexity of Father Gregor.

[@Yusis-o7d]

I personally think flawed characters are indefinitely more interesting than ones without any major flaws. Father Gregor was raised in a different environment and comes from an older different generation of people, so his view on the world is going to differ heavily from others. He's got strengths in some areas and flaws in others, which makes him feel very believable! My grandfather was a Catholic Bishop before he passed and it was always interesting hearing how he viewed the world. While obviously not a 1:1 Father Gregor still reminds me of him at times, especially when he tried to give advice for Skid and Pump at the start.

[@revolvershot7847]

[@veid1235]

I really love how badass Father Gregor is. He really tried to get Skid and Pump to Not Be a Danger to Society for an episode, and make them apologise to the people they already bothered. I mean like, the guy saw a person, literally possessed by a freaking demon. Didn't panic, layed out the priorities - first get the children out of there. He even made sure that the kiddos would be safe with the police officers while he is gone. After that without any hesitation the man went right back in to the demon and started fighting it, not letting it speak nor do anything while he gets it out of the girl's body. Because the two dummies came back he really made sure to protect them, so they don't get hurt and the demon doesn't get to them. After Moloch literally broke through a wall and escaped, the guy with the same nonchalance went out Chasing him around town with no regard for his own safety, only for the safety of people around him. He was able to stay calm even when the demon babies bit him Multiple times in the leg, and made sure to get the demon out of them. And after all that, with a wounded leg he still chased Moloch into the attic and banished it from this world. He's like literally The most heroic person in the entire show.

[@chrimsonphantom]

Also I believe Father Gregor is relatively new in town which is why most of the residents don't recognize him. The town probably needed someone like Father Gregor in town, which is probably why the cult took him out. The mayor probably hired the two hobos to destroy the church after kidnapping Gregor. To also really add to what you said, Father Gregor after getting rid of Moloch didn't stick around to get praise, he went straight back to the church to heal himself up. As he probably figured his work in town was just starting.

[@username5155]

I love Pump constantly knowing more about demons than Skid but only when his eyes are teal due to influence from The Eyes of the Universe and only in the context of how Pump would normally interpret information. He’s not “more knowledgeable” or “all-knowing”, he’s being shown everything and interpreting it himself. Like, Pump knows Moloch didn’t escape, and he looks over at Skid happily when he says they brought Moloch here, but he then he looks confused or annoyed or sorta judgemental (I am not good at judging facial expressions in the slightest. Especially because his head is a pumpkin) as if he’s assuming Skid also knows this stuff.

[@Dip-Star-1489]

Hold on, considering how the Eyes of the Universe seems to allow people to identify demons and turn their eyes blue, what qualifies the power to identify them? Like, we see the Hatzgang’s reaction being similar to Pump’s, yet why don’t they have this skill set in later episodes? And how come Skid doesn’t have this ability either?

[@username5155]

⁠@@Dip-Star-1489 Well, when they first meet Eyes, Skid is acting normal, meanwhile Pump is very visibly shaking and terrified, not speaking up until Eyes mentions “showing them the end”, when Pump interupts to ask if he means Spooky Month. Eyes then of course gets distracted by it being Spooky Month because ealier episodes showcased Spooky Month being something everyone did just like Skid and Pump until later episodes zoomed out a lot from Skid and Pump’s perspectives and showed more of the whole world rather than just them. This to me implies either Skid did something in the past that makes him immune or that Pump did something to make him different. That being said, only like 2 characters have successfully scared Skid and Pump, so it is quite notable that Skid seemed to have no reaction to Eyes where as Pump had a much stronger reaction to Eyes than most other characters so far. In this episode, we see Pump’s eyes visibly change when around Moloch because he knows at a glance that it’s Moloch. At 14:33, we can see Pump’s eyes are normal. Then, as soon as he sees Moloch, his eyes turn teal. As soon as he’s escorted out of the room by Father Gregor, his eyes turn normal again. When he comes back into the room with Moloch, his eyes turn teal again. They KNOW Moloch. They KNOW what he is. Everyone else seems to not treat Moloch like a real demon. The Hatzgang seem to not KNOW what Moloch is. Ross and Robert seem at least SCARED of Moloch, but at the same time it’s not like they see him as an actual demon, it’s on the same level of fear as when they met Bob. Edit: Also, Pump says Eyes showed HIM the stars, not THEM, so only Pump saw whatever Eyes wanted to show them. Edit 2: Also, I just remembered Pump’s eyes also turn teal in Spooky Month 5 right after Bob dies for the first time. On top of that, Bob’s eyes turn teal right before he gets shot, and they stay like that for the rest of the episode. Edit 3: Just remembered Pump’s eyes ALSO turn teal when he’s hiding under Susie’s bed to scare her, assuming that WAS genuinely just Pump pranking her and not something more sinister. I… don’t know to feel about that. Edit 4: I just remembered only Pump could see that Moloch was possessing Dexter, and how Skid didn’t believe him because Moloch wouldn’t pick a host so lame and not red. He was also the only one who figured out that Happy Fella was possessed, although I don’t think he ever mentions Dexter as the possessor specifically. Edit 5 (Man that’s a lot of Edits): I also just wanna point out that in this episode, when heading to the church and trying to guess what’s inside, Skid guesses a ghost and turns into a ghost, Pump guesses a hanged corpse and pulls out a noose and hangs himself, nothing out of the usual. Pump has teleported and they have both come back from the dead before. Skid then guesses it’s a cult, putting on a very normal looking robe that isn’t at all close to the real cult robes, imlying he knows nothing about them. Pump then guesses it’s Eyes. He doesn’t transform. This is concerning.

[@Y.H.W.H]

So sad that in the same episode where he outshines literally every other character in terms of sheer bravery he has to get his mind taken over.

[@stg_cookie_99]

I love how this series went from being just a silly lil dance to actually having a full on plot and lore.

[@MicrowaveMan777]

bro why was I tearing up at the end. these characters were my childhood and watching it back was crazy.

[@waffie6785]

Father Gregor was so incredibly based this entire episode. Practically no one was on his side and Jaune even got offended at him at the end but he was 100% in the right with everything he said. Really hoping he survives also The implications of the spider is insane It’s the reason the mankind gets back up after being knocked over.

[@McBioBones]

Ah yes, the mankind lol

[@R.W.P.]

Who’s the spider?

[@genericusername3334]

He wasn’t ENTIRELY right. Yeah, Lila left her son to go drink at a bar, but she decided to at least get a babysitter for it. If anything Susie is more in the wrong tbh. That said, Gregor didn’t really know that, so from what he saw it 100% looked like she just left her kid to go get drunk.

[@LessijSetoc]

The father Gregor was awesome ❤

What dose the spider mean? Also you can notice the eyeball in the trash can move. 26:23

i love that father gregor is not a villain here, sure he's pretty rude at times but he's overall a help.

him dancing with the children is honestly the funniest thing ive seen its almost as if something gets scary, the next second you see something funny

[@Saltysoulskyy]

I wanted moloch to live. He may have been a demon but way back to the first spooky month. He was nice, he danced with them and didn’t do anything wrong. He only wants to children. Give him the children. Give him the children GÍVĒ HIM THË ÇHÍŁDRËÑ.....gïvê mē thę çhíłdrëñ.

I love how spooky month started as just another sr pelo gag, and ended up turning into this in depth and emotional story.

That, my friend, is the true power of the Spooky Month right there, and why we all love it so damn much.

[@kofeininblood221]

YES THAT'S LIKE THE BEST PART OF IT

[@garrtoons4303]

I love how Pelo gave all of these characters, including the joke ones, a lot more personality. This is the definition of some of the best indie animated projects out there.

[@MeBeBloxxahhR]

*spooky* to think that this started as a joke and now has a complex lore and history behind it

[@FallenA1]

The ending genuinely made me cry. Hearing the emotional reactions of Skid, Pump, Lila, and Susie was so depressing, I must’ve watched this ending line 6 times to hear the beautiful and emotional performances. I love how even when there were jokes, this episode went on a different approach and gave us the more serious take. The Christianity plot is perfect and Father Gregor might be my 2nd favorite character, first being Lila. I absolutely loved it. Phenomenal job to the actors, the animators, the composers, and to Pelo himself. You all have now made my favorite episode of Spooky Month. Plus having Zach Hadle as a cameo and naming him “Literally Zach” is the cherry on top.

[@kingbash6466]

Shocked by how layered and interesting Priest Gregor is. While he's definitely uptight and firm in his views, he genuinely does want the best for the people in this town. He's also pretty fair in his beliefs, since as much as he disciplines the children to behave, he's just as quick to defend them from being mistreated or even harmed. As harsh as he was scolding Lila, he isn't entirely in the wrong since he witnessed what happened, and is only giving his honest perspective of what's going on.

[@pancakejaywithtie]

I agree with you 100% Honesty is not only the biggest insult but the best way to grow and get better.

[@RustRobotics]

I love how we actually got more character development for Skid and Pump as their both shown to be chaotic, but we honestly get to understand them on a deeper level with in this episode, like how we don't know what happen to Pump's Parents? what ever happen to Skid's Dad? What started as a meme, became so much more.

[@Puffball_208]

I feel like their parents have something to do with the cult...

[@lapiscake1211]

i think pump said his parents work alot,i could be miss hearing but it seems that his parents and generally just not there all the time due to work

[@CLXWNZIY]

Pumps parents are divorced; pumps dad is Rick, as seen in a Father’s Day video. Skids dad is shown to be dead, although my personal theory is that he faked it.

[@CLXWNZIY]

Pumps parents separated. His dad is Rick: as seen in a Father’s Day video. Skids dad is shown to have a gravestone in the same video, but my theory is that he faked it.

Thats probably whats happening, what if the cult sacraficed them?@@Puffball_208

[@Quomvi]

Father gregor really took an unexpected turn, i thought he was gonna be a jerk or a twist villain but no, he genuinely tried to help the kids giving them some actually deserved and good morals (i mean, we all love it, but they constantly just invade property, steal, cause vandalism, trust strangers, etc). And saved them from an actual threat, it's a shame to see him getting this ending.

[@denysvision]

He was still kind of a jerk despite his "intentions" and have terrible judge of character

[@Leyva0scarVRL]

if you are talking about the end with lila... yeah she is kinda is an irresponsable mother, remember 2 people died because of the demon they summoned @@denysvision

[@Quomvi]

@@denysvision did he? While his opinion about the costumes was unjustified, he was kinda right about Lila being kinda neglectful, in the first episode she got a demon in her house and she mistook it for a rat for months, she was not aware at all about the children meeting an eldritch creature, and after she almost dies fighting a possesed exterminator and a cursed doll, in the next episode she still allowed her kid to go alone. The father may have been harsh, but he wasn't fully wrong to be honest, Frank is a kidnapper and should be reported to the authorities, Moluch actually just wants to cause death and destruction, and Lila NEEDS to be more aware of what her son does after everything they have been through.

The part with the receipt in the grandpa's pocket after he gave them a gift "from the parents" makes me tear up. And Lila crying with Skid hits way too close to home giving her situation and Skid as well. I've watched this over three times and still cry...

I absolutely love how Frank says "I am uhhhh like an uncle!" And its true, in spooky month 5 you can see a picture where frank clearly has been friends with lila since childhood, and Frank has never posed amy danger to the spooky boys, and always made them happy in some way, it pisses me off how gregor didn't trust him but I get why.
