Animation Comic - The Halloween Sequel

***Animation Comic - The Halloween Sequel*** is a direct-to-stream animated dark comedy special that is the second special episode as a film, the second installment in the Halloween Franchise, and a direct sequel to *Animation Comic - The Halloween Special* (2017). It was streamed on YouTube, October 27th, 2018, just one day prior to the first film's release by 25UltraGamer.

One year after the events of the first film, Michael and Daniel are ready to go for another holiday of trick-or-treating. Once they stumbled across a big mansion, Michael and Daniel discovers it while getting trapped all of the sudden. Now they have to find a key that unlocks the front door before anything else happens.

A follow-up sequel, *Animation Comic - Haunted Memories*, was released on July 25th, 2019.

## Plot

Michael and Daniel are just about to wrap up trick-or-treating when they just then Michael discovers a mansion and convinces Daniel to get candy from one more house and be done with it. Suddenly, the door opened itself and Michael and Daniel went to investigate it.

Just when all this the door slammed and locked itself, trapping Michael and Daniel in the mansion. Daniel says in order to get out of here, they must find a key that unlocks the front door and also says that Michael takes the first floor while he takes the second.

Monster creatures start to come alive as Michael and Daniel are exploring around to find the key. Michael was knocked out by a black woman with a monstrous face with red eyes while he was in the library. Daniel was first terrified by the zombie skull and ran to find himself in a trap with the ghosts. He was then transported to another hallway and the one only door. Daniel sees a crying girl covered in a blanket which was a fake after Daniel pulls the covers. Daniel broke the wooden wall only to find more ghosts that were about to kill him.

Michael woke up to find a spirit who turns to be good in a vision. The Good Spirit handed him a cross that defeats all evil of monsters. Michael was woken up from his vision and defeats most of the monsters. The Mysterious Killer came in and had Michael baffled, questioning him. The Mysterious Killer told his backstory from when he got killed in the first special, and now was ready for his revenge by growing four tentacles, sharp nails, and growing pupils all bleeding out.

It then proceeds to Michael falling down to a hole in a spider-web with The Mysterious Killer trapping him(similar to the 2009 stop-motion film Coraline). The cross helped Michael defeat The Mysterious Killer once again, leaving him dying on the web. Daniel comes out from the wall, claiming him he saw ghosts that were trying to kill him. Michael apologizes to Daniel from coming into an abandoned mansion just to get more candy. Daniel accepts and wonders how to open the front door if they were unable to find the key.

Michael stated that he tried pulling the door open and wouldn't budge. Daniel realizes that maybe pulling wasn't the answer and that pushing could be another way. Michael attempted and was successful. They learned that the door was opened the whole time and Daniel told Michael that they should forget about any of the events in the mansion happened and go home. It went off to the conclusion of the special by having Michael telling the audience a happy Halloween.
