This Dead Like Me episode centers around Halloween. I realized today that no one I know has ever eaten a candy apple. Carmel apples, of course. But no candy apples. Do they exist? Let me know!

Speaking of Halloween, Slither from James Gunn and starring Nathan Fillion came out on DVD today. Buy it already! It is hilarious and scary. A great combination, just like peanut butter and scary chocolate.

Georgia, when she was a living and breathing little girl, didn’t like Halloween because of the candy. She saw it as an opportunity to look into people’s houses. Fantastic.

The quirk in the episode deals with a Halloween legend. Reapers may be seen in their true form on Halloween. That will get sticky when someone recognizes George. Or Georgia. George is slightly faster to write.

There is a man with clean white Chuck Taylors readying various lengths of rope. If your sneakers are clean and white then you are a serial killer. Or a nurse. Or both. There’s an idea to sell to SciFi for an original movie.

Dead Like Me is really slow paced. That is okay. The characters are interesting enough to spend a lazy hour with. Like a lazy river at the water park. No splashing! You just float. That’s the deal.

White sneakers made his first kill. We haven’t seen his face or figure. He could be a she. Or he could be a she who is a he! Julie Andrews wasn’t always Mary Poppins.

Being a reaper is tough when you have to kill a kid who is too sick to trick or treat. That is okay. Heaven is made out of candy. So is Hell, but it is only black jelly beans.

To end the evening of calm and calculated horror, Georgia gets to take out the serial killer. That’s a nice ending. Well, if there weren’t five minutes left.
