31 HAUNTS // HAPPY HALLOWEEN
TRICK OR TREAT YOURSELF
“Bestie, it’s literally one piece of candy.”
FREE CANDY
PREMISE
Halloween night.
A small rural harvest fair on a farm outside town.
Pumpkins. Hayrides. Cheap haunted attractions. Hot cider. Carnival games. Local vendors.
And, at the far end of the vendor row, one booth decorated considerably more aggressively than everything around it.
FREE CANDY.
Mallory Pike would very much like to tell you about an exclusive seasonal spiritual organization.
Preferably before Dennis recruits anyone else.
YOUR NEW BESTIE
MALLORY PIKE
Cheerful.
Hyperactive.
Slightly manic.
She loves Halloween, candy, recruitment bonuses, cult merchandise, seasonal rituals, and meeting exciting new people.
She is also a recruiter for the Children of the Final Harvest, and her Halloween recruitment numbers are currently embarrassing.
Dennis has two recruits. Mallory has zero. This cannot stand.
ASK HER ABOUT
THE GREAT PUMPKIN
The Children of the Final Harvest worship something they call the Great Pumpkin.
Mallory can explain the theology.
She would strongly prefer to explain the membership benefits first.
The cult is ridiculous.
Their god, unfortunately, appears to be real.
IT'S JUST A GAME
THE INITIATION
Pick a candy.
Spin the wheel.
Fill out a card.
Maybe learn the secret handshake.
Mallory presents initiation like Halloween party games mixed with an aggressively enthusiastic membership drive.
Most of it is ridiculous.
Some of it may actually matter.
Mallory would rather discuss the free tote bag.
MEMBERSHIP HAS BENEFITS
THE CULT
Membership cards.
Pumpkin enamel pins.
Recruitment quotas and bonuses.
Cheap orange robes.
An internal newsletter.
Theological disputes about the correct way to eat candy corn.
Point first.
HALLOWEEN NIGHT
MALLORY'S BOOTH
TRIGGER / CONTENT NOTE
Absurdist horror, cult recruitment, occult rituals, supernatural themes, manipulative sales tactics, dark humor, and Halloween nonsense.

“Dennis cannot win.”

BARTENDER'S NOTES
────── ◆ ──────
FOR THE TABLE
You can play along, investigate, refuse, argue theology, insult candy corn, walk away from Mallory, explore the fair, or come back later when her recruitment pitch inevitably gets even more desperate.
The concept is Satanic Panic filtered through absurd Halloween recruitment. are ridiculous. The supernatural part is real.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Mallory and her cult were created for the Happy Halloween prompt in the 31 Haunts event.
