The halloween man's cult

This story is a remake of the Goosebumps series, Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns by R. L. Stine.
Last Halloween night a young boy named Francis Douglas was watching old tapes that he found in a abandoned barn with his friends, Johny Degrassi and Alexia Mormon.
The tapes featured a farmer wearing a jack-o'lantern head and farmer clothing. He was acting as if he was a kids show mascot, but the episodes of his featured dark subjects such as death and kidnappings.
The ones that watched were worried about this mascot's sanity and they were shocked at how creepy and unnerving the episodes were.
The last episode was about a ritual. Dead bodies of the mascot's victims were placed around candles and they wore jack o'lanterns on their heads with farmer clothing. The carved faces looked different; some were goofy and some looked malevolent.
The mascot danced around the bodies and burned his fingers on the candles while chanting.
Halloween Man
You will follow as I do and carve the faces of many and bring them to the afterlife as I have ordered you or the devil will take you away.
The TV screen crashed after he said his incantations.
Francis
Finally this terrifying series is over!
Johny
It was well made, but I have a feeling that this was scripted and fake.
Alexia
Well, I personally think that it was legit.
Francis
Well, you shouldn't debate on that as we have some trick or treating to attend to!
The children agreed and put on their costumes. Francis was dressed in a Rocket Raccoon costume, Alexia was dressed as an astronaut and Johnny was dressed as Darth Vader.
They asked their parents and they accepted them to go and come back home at 10:40 PM.
They brought candy bags and exited the house.
Johny
So where should we go?
Alexia
There's a town behind the cemetery. I've heard that it's popular and rich!
Francis
Well let's find out, shall we?
The kids walked to the cemetery, which was the same as the location of the first Halloween Man tape. They thought of the giant candies they would receive and fear did not creep to them yet.
Alexia thought she heard footsteps and leaves cracking as well as some whispering, but nobody else heard these noises, so she thought it was in her head.
The kids got out of the cemetery and arrived at the richest neighborhood. Many children were knocking on doors dressed up and obtaining large candy. Everybody was celebrating Halloween there.
The kids obtained lots of candy and Alexia saw someone going into the forest, which weirded her out.
Alexia
Guys, I saw someone walk into the forest! Wanna go see what's up?
Francis
Sure, why not!
The kids found and followed footprints. The footprints disappeared in front of 4 unmarked tombstones. The kids started to hear cries emanating from the graves.
They approached the graves and transparent farmers with jack o lantern heads dug their way out of their own resting places. They were holding knives and the kids were terrified. They ran back to where they came from.
The childlike farmers began floating and they followed closely behind, laughing. Francis fell to the ground and he screamed for help, but the other kids were too afraid to go help him out and they exited the forest.
The other trick or treaters were concerned about the fear the children had.
Trick or treaters
Are y'all OK?
Alexia
Francis is in danger! We gotta go get him!
They walked back into the forest and saw Francis, but his pulse was lacking and he had a carved pumpkin on his head with red liquid coming out of its facial features.
The kids were frozen in fear for a few minutes. They called the police and they arrived shortly, but no clues of a murder were uncovered. The news talked about it. The children ran back to their houses and didn't come out for hours.
Alexia and her family were asleep when one of the victims of the Halloween Man passed through their locked front door. It grabbed its sharp knife and floated off the ground. It moved towards Alexia's room and slowly opened it. It woke Alexia up and she screamed and jumped out of her bed.
It woke up her parents and they ran towards her room, but they were too late as the ghostly figure was already carving her face. It turned its head towards them and tried to jump on them, but they were able to evade him and run away from the house. The ghost then vanished without a trace.
Her parents saw Johny signaling them to follow him. They did and arrived at a tree house. They climbed on on a ladder and they saw the Halloween Man tapes.
Parents
What are we gonna do to stop this!?
Johny
We have to destroy the tapes as all of this started after we watched them!
Some laughing started underneath the tree house and it was the jack o lantern wearing farmers holding an axe. They began to cut down the tree, shaking the house.
Everyone was afraid and they thought that this was it, but Johny didn't lose hope so he crushed the video tapes with a bat and the ghosts flied to the heavens.
Johny saved their hometown and Halloween itself as there was still time to scavenge for candies, but Johny decided to give his friends a proper burial and wish them luck in the afterlife.
