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.
They were never terrible tho They just werent taught what is bad they think that everything is fine and no consequences they dont even realize they are in danger because they didnt know any social ques
“Your parents love you kids. No matter what.” “But if they love me why they’re never here..?” THE PERSONAL AND INTERNALS LACERATIONS I JUST FELT TO MY HEART.
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.
So sad he prolly got killed by the Eldritch altho I'm so hyped the actually brought him back I was waiting for Pelo to finally bring him since he hasn't been here since episode 2
TBF he didn't really do anything but have fun with the kids before being left halfway stuck in a Ouija board for a couple of years in the attic and was unintentionally killed by the kids when he possessed the exterminator to get payback on them for being abandoned.
I really love how the priest is written. He is almost expected to be an arrogant antagonist but he's a actually surprisingly good intended. Really like the spin this serie does on the way the characters are.
@@HEIDBDIDJDBDUEKENSBEEyeah once he seemed to feel bad about asking where's skid father i realized he's a nice guy. i really love him as a character, he truly feels mature and tries to do the right thing.
You, the guy who made El Dia Del Payaso, have no right to bring me to the verge of tears. This was spectacularly written and animated, and though I’m not entirely sure why I made myself wait until the day of Halloween to actually watch this, it was worth the wait in full. Spectacular work, Pelo!
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. The fact that Moloch in this animation is a furnace demon is as accurate as it is scary. Happy Spooky Month Everybody :)
Don't forget the fact that even for the people in those times this was absolutely atrocious because of the screams, it is rumoured this kind of worship still lingers among the few powerful elite and wealthy
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
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)
@@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...
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.
I know everyone is talkinv about Father Gregor and the other funny moments but seeing Roy's friends supporting him and saying they're there for him whenever they come back on screen is so sweet of them😭😭😭
@@erzecaI have a feeling it’s about Roy confessing about his trauma with his creepy uncle back in episode 2 It’s implied he might have been S/A by his uncle And he did not know it was wrong to trick Skid and Pump into going to the cult house where the uncle was waiting
I love how Pelo has come full circle. He has constantly been trying to push the envelope of absurdity, and now he's pushed it so far that the most absurd thing he could produce is something more down to earth with a coherent story structure.
It’s just like what MatPat said about the entertainment industry not even just about fashion and music. (Not exact quote, but something like…) “In order to keep people engaged and enthusiastic about your projects, it's essential to adapt and evolve. Otherwise, you risk becoming irrelevant and losing their interest.”
@@denysvision They never said he WASN'T a good kid. They mean "growth" as in he's realizing that he and pump can't just go around causing trouble for other people just because they want to have fun. Not saying they were doing it on purpose or anything, but still; that's character growth.
This was a rather depressing episode… For whatever reason, Skid and Pump crying over the death of Moloch, never realizing that Moloch was never their friend or how dangerous the demon was, really hit me hard. Not to mention ending the episode with the implication that Pump’s parents seemingly don’t care about their children, and Lila feeling like an inadequate parent, yeesh, feels bad man…. Great episode, though! Well worth the wait!
@@sablyptical perhaps I’m exaggerating or looking too deeply into Mr. Wonder getting Pump a gift claiming it’s from his parents, but the fact that even when Pump and Susie try to call them they don’t answer (as Pump said in episode 4) doesn’t paint the best picture of them, at least in my eyes.
So refreshing to see a priest character actually not be portrayed as a creep, I understand its a prevalent issue but I'm glad I started rooting for him.
Yeah, that scenes where he was fighting the demons were so badass, but also glad he kinda called out Lila’s behavior because negligence leads to consequences.
I love how the priest is ACTUALLY serious about what he does, and how he managed to put moloch back to hell, but its very sad he was just captured by cults...
He didn't manage to put him back to hell, look again at the scene before the credits. We see a PoV shot of Moloch about to try to possess the (already possessed) mannequin in the attic.
My theory is that those from the sect want Skip to be like his father, a member of the sect, that's why they had to get the father out of the way because he interfered with that plan.
This series is absolutely amazing, it's a perfection, i'd say! It all started as a joke, but outcame into something really deep and emotional. I like how it showed the "good" characters' bad characteristics (like Lila) and the "bad" characters good characteristics (like Frank or Roy). 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. I really am into this fandom for almost 1,5 year, and I really am obsessed with this show. Pelo, I'd like to say it: you're the best youtuber, animator and voice actor!!!
I do love that the church and priest aren’t displayed in a negative light but isn’t portrayed as a perfect place/guy with no flaws. 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.
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.
I'm really happy someone was able to express my own thoughts on the man, I also hope he isn't dead, or indoctrinated into the cult of the star eye eldritch being.
@@Kallai-Esuriant-Lorekeeper unlike Moloch, Eyes doesn't seem very hostile, and plus, in the title cards he is seen up in "heaven" and his head looks like a cloud somewhat. I think Priest will be apart of the cult now, but not dead.
This one really made me realize the severity of Skid and Pumps actions. While before everything happening felt like “What wacky scenario will they get into next” but now we’re seeing the harm they’re really causing
Granted, I feel like in some cases the cult is more so to blame for the effects of their actions being quite as extreme as they are, like while Dexter may have still died, I'm pretty sure there's some things implying it was the cult's work that led to his soul being trapped in the Happy Fella after
@@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
I love how Spooky Month just started as a joke and now is a good serie, but the thing that just got me was the fact that this is the first time that I almost cry on this
My favorite story-telling trend is when series start off as silly and fun then overtime the lore gets deeper and characters become more complex. UnIronically I love it so much
@@EnigmaticGentleman To be fair, it's not like they said it was unique. Just that it was their favorite. People like vanilla too, y'know. That kind of stuff.
I just want to note how aware skid and pump are getting of just everything their experiencing. Pump would be happy to have his parents not pickup the phone as he could get away with stuff in ep 4, and he’s becoming more disappointed not being able to see his parents. And skid is becoming more aware of how harsh his dad’s passing is affecting Lila and himself. It’s just a nice (and sad) development of the two.
Next episode is eyes because In smiling critters skid draw molach possessing skid and pump so eyes would be in the next episode portraying as a antagonist in the 7 sequel
25:50 made me frickin cry. Sr Pelo wtf man the series were supose to be funny and goofy. You are making it too serius and dramatic. AND I FRICKING LOVE IT! KEEP MAKING ME CRY! YEAAAAAAAA!
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.
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! He is risen!
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.
Sobre los disfraces de Halloween El dice eso pero después lo ignora posiblemente por qué ENTIENDE que no están familiarizados con El Cristianismo o son solamente niños
I definitely like how the whole “Lila is negligent” plot is written. Whenever she’s stressed or Skid asks something serious, she distracts him with inviting him to see Pump. She lets him leave for the day without asking questions, and this happens. She is the reason Moloch, Eyes, and the Happy Fella were released.
And you can kinda sympathize with her because she's a single mom raising a hyperactive child. At least Skid has Pump to hang out with. I was kinda the same when I was little. I'm autistic and most likely have ADHD, so my mom had a hell of a time raising me, and I think I got a kind of avoidance relationship with her
That scene with the illusion of Dexter and his mom hits so hard. It's such an intense moment, it shows Father Gregors resilience so well, and it feels like another reminder that despite Skid and Pump being well meaning kids having fun, their actions have unintentionally ruined lives.
I really appreciate how most of the characters in this series are just trying to do their best. Father Gregor wasn’t really a _great_ influence on the kids, but he saw that they were in pain and tried to help them in his own flawed way. Lila isn’t a great mother, but she’s going through a lot and really does care about her kid and _wants_ to be a better mom.
He wasnt a "great" influence to them? Bro wdym lol he literally was teaching them the dangers of wandering off at night in a not so safe Town while also protecting them FROM DEMONS and trying to make them a BETTER person. I think You are kinda biased about the priest just cause he is religious lol he did way more good things for the kids than lila.
@@tuperro2402 I mean, he fully played into the idea that the reason their parents weren't spending time with them was because they weren't "good" enough for those parents. That's basically the entire conversation they had with the two cops. I'm not necessarily saying he did that intentionally, but he still did it and intentions matter less than consequences. That's why I said he tried to help them in his own flawed way, trying to help doesn't mean succeeding but trying is still commendable. I've got nothing against him for being religious, I personally think people like to scapegoat religions throughout the world for things that are caused by materialistic greed.
@@archsteel7playing into the idea would require him to constantly use it to make them strive for forgiveness. The main point of the trip was to let them into the church, which Pump told the cops. The part that stuck with Skid in that whole conversation tho was the part about his parents, but that doesn’t mean that was the focal point Father Gregory WANTED them to take away from it.
@@Ralseeei mean, there is a chance that skid and pump carry curses with them considering all the supernatural stuff they're involved in, one probably stuck to the shop
The Father was the MVP of the episode, and it makes me sad how his relationship with Skid and Pump deteriorated with the episode even though he was doing the right thing all the time, even though in the end it sadly seems like he died.
Hope he aint dead. Idk what it is about priests and religious folk goin after monsters with no fear and all courage that gets me so hyped, but i love it.
I really love how this series really gets into the ways a child would think. Kids aren't that scared of monsters, but they are terrified of their parents not loving them... Edit: Apparently I was an outlier thinking monsters were cool as opposed to scary when I was a kid...
DUDE I loved monsters! Still do lol, I completely understand what you mean though, growing up I was always afraid of not being enough or disappointing my parents, I just wanted to be a good daughter ;/
i might have already commented this but i really appreciate that father gregor isn't just a stereotypical evil/creepy priest nor is he a perfect idol of a person. he's not doing *that* great a job by feeding the kids' insecurities and degrading lila, but it does seem like his intentions of helping and protecting the kids are genuine. i like that a lot. i'm tired of people ignoring the fact that religious officials of all kinds are still human beings.
The way Lila immediately cries shows how drunk she was, most of the time people hold it in for atleast more than 5 seconds. It also could be she’s just really heart broken, but when she didn’t cry at parts where she also should’ve earlier in the episode.
@@susancubello1340 I think she cried less because of she was drunk, more of how she saw how Skid was being effected by her acting like this, and she felt shame because she couldn't stay strong for her child, and now he was blaming himself because of that
@@Binky1234Skid has been on encounters with demons,possessed dolls,serial killers/cannibals and met Eldritch beings,where is the responsible? I'm not saying Lila is a bad mother,but the priest has a point,it just keeps happening
25:39 I LOVE THIS SCENE BRO. i like how Grandpa decided to buy a toy for Pump after seeing him sad of parents not being there, i love how Pump reacts to the toy when it changed his mood as if it changed his life, and im pretty sure Pump would react like "woah, cool. anyway Last week-" if he wasnt told that this toy were sent from his parents. perfect scene showing how Pump misses them...
25:58 this part genuinely made me cry just seeing the both cry plus skids mom not even expecting skid to apologize and thus cry just genuinely made me go into tears aswell
It's a good detail that Lila was all drunken sounding towards Father Gregor but quickly became genuine once she noticed Skid. Makes us know the surprise and urgancy.
Same. Lila is definitely flawed, but it's clear that she geniuenely cares about her son and tries to make life as normal as can be in the little hell hole that they live in for him. It really hurts a bit as the viewer too cuz we know that Lila isn't a regular drinker and we've seen all her effort.
I never say this pop up in my feed, so I saved it to watch this year for Halloween late in the evening. It brought me to tears and this story keeps getting better
The priest was a GOAT the whole episode, stayed attached to his believes, was competent and responsable and never gived up his hope just to save the town in the name of the Lord. One of the best character adittions I've ever seen in a show.
I dunno, I don't like how he treated Mr kidnapper. Granted, his suspicions WERE right, but he wouldn't let them go with him even when skid and pump explained they know the guy? Because it's oh so much safer to go with an adult you don't know? Bit iffy
@@justaperson4656this is a universe where there are exactly 2 police officers in the entire city. I feel like you’re thinking too much about it when we ultimately know he’s right.
@@RealCoolstriker64 maybe, but overthinking and overanalyzing is how I enjoy media. Also, there are a whole THREE cops, since the chief (despite not doing fieldwork) exists Edit: no wait it's four to five cops, the chief got abducted by the cult and the mayor has "replacements" of our two
Moloch is an incredible stand in for the type of folk that children and young people without proper parental figures get involved with and ruin their lives with.
17:32 I love how there is a single frame where Father Gregor looks at Patty with a worried expression. He may be intense and serious, but he genuinely cares and that is very sweet.
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.
It's unreal how everything started like a lighthearted video celebrating halloween and it has become not only its own thing but even sad and depressing at times too.
There's no way the silly Halloween series is making me cry. All the characters are so well written and have developed beautifully, I genuinely can't wait for more
Dude Father Gregor is a badass. I'm so happy you wrote him to be strict and orderly, but not to the point where he becomes a comical asshole. Making him brave and resourceful is something we don't get to see from a lot of religious figures in fiction these days. I'm an agnostic athiest myself, so I don't neccesarily have a horse in this race, but it's just really refreshing to see a fictional priest who isn't comically evil or a total coward.
Alternatively with comedy related or dark medias priests are always reserved or presented as constant child predators or some similar shit. I'm really glad there's not a single joke about it but instead a single acknowledged concern for kids about priest following them and that's it. He's literally honest to god priest who actually knows his stuff and actually competent to take on demons despite age with cross and holy water alone and no additional bullshit like a gun. Kinda reminds me of Faith the Unholy trinity with similar concept of priest taking on demons with cross alone.
Couldn't agree more. As a Muslim myself, it's really cool to see a pastor who's trying to do good for his community. The fact that he's willing to put himself in danger just to keep two stupid kids (no hate to them) is just so cool and refreshing to see. It's really tiring when a pastor is portrayed as a predator or a cult leader. I mean, I get that it's a real problem but not every pastor is like that and I'm glad that Pelo went with this. Hopefully he'll be able to free himself from that demon (forgot the name)
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.
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.
Well yeah but then he accused Lila of being a bad mom for drinking when it seems the reason she was so stressed to need a drink was the paranoia she gained after the events of tender treats I mean she did install an alarm after that and sure it’s not like father gregor knew of bob velseb or the other times skid and pump were in danger but still he was such a dick towards Lila without knowing the full story
25:35 pumps parents are so neglectful and you can clearly see that when he gets so excited over a phone call or when his grandpa has to fake his parents giving him a gift it so sad
Dawg also cannot help but feel bad when skid and Pump are sad that he'd give them free candy or how he lets them keep the money when they actually pay for it. What a nice fella
I love Father Gregor because of the fact that he’s very concerned about the kids and actually seems like a good guardian. I love when priests are cool and wise. Like Father Garcia (though he’s cool for a separate reason).
@@aetheriox463 ye, a priest from Faith: The Unholy Trinity which has a shotgun (that's what makes him cool ig) (ALSO, the Mortis you're referring to is what appears when you die in that game. Hope this helps 👍)
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...
father gregor is the best character in this episode, and his voice actor KILLED it like there was so much emotion put into his lines i thought for sure there would be some gag where father gregor is acting all heroic and then he gets squished by the demon or smth, but no, he actually stands his ground incredible
I love how it’s implied that Frank isn’t actually trying to kidnap kids and he’s genuinely just trying to be a source of transport, atleast to just skid and pump EDIT: I know he keeps kids hostage 😭😭
It wasn't just this occasion. In episode 2, her first reaction to seeing them after a home invasion in the middle of the night was "Hey kids, where ya been?" In episode 3, she sent Skid to play with Pump when she was too busy trying to call an exterminator for the "rat" she could've dealt with herself. In episode 5, she let the kids go trick-or-treating completely unsupervised. And of course, in just about every episode, she has no issues with the two going out alone by themselves at night.
Gotta love how we see both perspectives here. She just wanted to relax this time cause her life has been really stress inducing. Murderers, weirdos, burglars, living dolls lusting for blood... ALL of that. And this time she returns home only to be met with her kid (and Pump) crying and some random priest scolding her for being an irresponsible mother. That's a huge punch in the gut. I think father Gregor only assumed certain things (like her drinking regularly which we know isn't the truth).
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.
im sorry- but I gotta agree with the priest. Lila hasn’t put much attention towards her child that much through a bunch of episodes. She wouldn’t pay attention with her kid, UNTIL it was too far. The only time she actually *WAS* caught up with her child’s situation, was when she saw the red costume guy across the road. She understood what was up since the *START.* EDIT: sure, Lila is trying her best, but it’s obvious her best ISN’T good at all. She’s getting *drunk,* she’s not paying *attention,* and she is spending time with her friend instead of her *child.*
I think we also have to look at it from her perspective tho; Skid WANTS to hang out with Pump a lot which is a main reason he's also over at his house, and they're always out and about because they know everyone in that neighborhood and no one has said anything to Lila about Skid's behavior (and you'd think someone like Kevin would) so she'd, like most parents, would assume he's fine. She also leaves Pump's Sister in charge of them to WATCH them, and she's the main one ignoring them even after she was ASKED by Lila to just keep an eye on them knowing how they are (not to mention, Susie saying "oh he stepped outside" when asking about her grandpa 9/10 means he's not far or will be right back) so she has/had good reasons to leave Skid alone (with Pump) most of the episodes. Not even just this, but the fact this is like the 3-4th time her house has been broken into by Bob and The Burglars; I wouldn't feel safe about my child being around there so the next best thing is his friend's house. She really does try though, she's always there for Skid when things go bad and she doesn't hesitate to protect him so if anything, she's not a negligent mother; she's a stressed the fuck out one and turned to a bad coping mechanism (drinking), and it looked like it genuinely broke her to see Skid think he's apart of the problem.
@@hu7380yeah, and I feel like after this Ep. Lila is going try better and find others healthy ways to beat her negligence and stress issues and try to guide skids, this is a very complex and complicated situation.
I love how old monsters that were originally just in the series as jokes, are making serious returns this time, and the story is starting to get more and more serious
This episode was insane- the fact that they were nice to an Eldritch god once and now they're under it's divine protection is just so indescribable ?? 😭
I think it implies that the eldritch god is divine? the end card shows the priest flying upwards where the eldritch god is while still holding onto his cross. also he kneeled down in awe infront of it. very interesting honestly.
@@jessesobel7448 its more so implied, especially with pumps blue eyes being a badge of sorts for it, he can see things other people cant, combine that with the odd amount of conveniences that usualy keep them out of harms way after there encounter with eyes, its certainly something to think about, but definitely not proven completely yet
@@georgeholstein5230also when the father turn moloch into stone he says “The lord, The son, The divine soul, and the Sacred Sky” That could imply that Stars being in the sky could have something to do with the Fathers religion. Maybe I’m reading too much into it tho
The fact that moloch had to personally ask the children in order to enter their bodies just shows how fucking powerful skid and pump actually are. Like with the nurse patty and candy Kevin guy he just kinda jumped in, but with the two kids he had to ask. Think about it, he could’ve entered the kids bodies five episodes ago, but he didn’t. The only times he can is during this episode, when they let him in.
If I had to guess, it's because of the fact that they were the ones who summoned him, so they are in control of him to an extent. That's why he expressly needs permission to possess them, whereas everyone else is free reign.
@@spoopertrooper2726 I think it might also have something to do with Eyes, seeing as how Pump naturally glows after their encounter. As if embued with eldritch power.
I didnt expect priest character to be handled so well. Especially in parody series. He is competent and has a point, and is entertaining well written character? Its honestly refreshing
Father Gregor and Pump's grandpa are both the GOAT. The way Pump's grandpa bought him a toy and tried to pass it off like his parents bought it seriously almost made me cry. He's too nice for this neighborhood full of monsters fr.
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.
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.
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.
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?
@@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.
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.
Skid feeling like a burdan to his mom and them breaking down together just broke me, its a feeling a lot of children have and its hits right in the feels😭
Waited 6 Months to watch in the "Right Time" and boy, i really love this series, y'all getting crazier and better as the years go by, I LOVE DA SPOOKY MONTH!!!
You’d expect all 3 of the older boys to be bullying Skid and Pump, but no, only Roy was. That really stood out to me. A simple and effective way to make them more complex characters.
I know! I love how Ross and Robert started out as just bullies, but it sort of seems like the more they got to know Skid and pump it almost seems like they're friends. It's kind of wholesome. And Roy deserved that punch SO MUCH
@@Alastorandmm2lover i'm not only talking about the bullying, he tried to get Skid and Pump into stuff with his uncle, he's stolen Candy, and he's just a straight up jerk.
Doesn't justify it though. Yes, him being punched by Ross was definitely not needed but just because his parents are neglectful, doesn't mean bullying little kids is okay.
Im christian and I was expecting it to be like a goofy and bad portrayal of the priest but Im actually really glad it wasnt like that and pelo did a good job.
Even though he didn't deserve that ending, Father Gregor might be my new favourite character in this whole series. His genuine devotion to set Skid and Pump on the right path was nothing short of heartfelt and inspiring, and he was definitely the light of hope this cursed-as-all-hell town needed. It's a shame that he might as well be dead with him being exposed to the Eyes of the Universe though... Once again, excellent work on this, Pelo and everyone else who was involved. This series continues to be one of my favourite indie creations, and I eagerly await next year's installment.
if i know Pelo im pretty sure hes gonna bring back the Priest to a Mind-controlled guy and Skid and Pump just basically remind him of Faith of God thus making him a good guy that is gonna repel "The Stars".
@@BalledPlays More likely Pump is going to have a massive involvement on that, since he resisted the stars, kinda got "imbued" by the power as we see in every frame he is in the dark, his eyes glow "the stars" glow. Plus the fact he kinda befriended the eldritch beast
I love how this all started because the kids wanted to “do a prank call”
frr
Same
These two guys again? 0:23
It's a canon event of the series, or should I say a joke that started the epicness of the series.
Antagonists that were jokes are becoming more serious. Can't wait to see what happens to the Eyes of the universe then 💀
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.
They were never terrible tho
They just werent taught what is bad they think that everything is fine and no consequences they dont even realize they are in danger because they didnt know any social ques
I think they are too trusting
@@justinyuen4950I agree they have trust to much like (Happy Fella, Moloch, and Frank to name a few).

@@Jesus_prozaik nah
I had a power but someone pressed the like button, anyways, 890 is my power. You will get it.
June is the other kid like the mean kid's friend. One of them.
then literally zach appears
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.
I hope he's reoccurring, he's so badass.
So sad he prolly got killed by the Eldritch altho I'm so hyped the actually brought him back I was waiting for Pelo to finally bring him since he hasn't been here since episode 2
Btw dude, it’s spelt Moloch-Not Molluk
Same!!
@@yuarentlucky yeah totally agreed
I love how spooky month has just become an episodic series of fixing everything that happened in the first video
Honestly, its so dark that Moloch managed to deceive the kids so much to the point they got mad at the person who had their best interests at heart
That's acually very good theory and probably canon
@@Aki-rh2vd its. . not really a theory at all though. its directly what happened in the episode if you dont look directly skin deep at it.
@@drxdimension3685yeah
And i think he even killed dexters mother in this episode
TBF he didn't really do anything but have fun with the kids before being left halfway stuck in a Ouija board for a couple of years in the attic and was unintentionally killed by the kids when he possessed the exterminator to get payback on them for being abandoned.
I really love how the priest is written. He is almost expected to be an arrogant antagonist but he's a actually surprisingly good intended. Really like the spin this serie does on the way the characters are.
I love him already when i first saw him.
i had such a different wiev of him when he threw hot water on trick or treaters 💀
His still an asshole
@@HEIDBDIDJDBDUEKENSBEEyeah once he seemed to feel bad about asking where's skid father i realized he's a nice guy. i really love him as a character, he truly feels mature and tries to do the right thing.
@@amelinnorthwind I don't think it was hot water, it was holy water. I think it was a joke about the kid being ginger and having no soul
I like how Father Gregor is a seriously dedicated, disciplined and holy priest but yet cannot resist the power of the spooky month dance
because the spooky month dance is just THAT powerful. you literally cannot resist it.
It's the most powerful weapon on that universe
Take in mind it worked on a serial murderer, a demon, and even EYES the Eldritch Being
@@Angelikaliu1331 But he can ask for forgiveness
It's not an insult if it's true.@@Angelikaliu1331
Remeber that first episode when the Eldridge horror at the end was tamed with spooky dance? Tyt shows how powerful it is
You, the guy who made El Dia Del Payaso, have no right to bring me to the verge of tears. This was spectacularly written and animated, and though I’m not entirely sure why I made myself wait until the day of Halloween to actually watch this, it was worth the wait in full. Spectacular work, Pelo!
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. The fact that Moloch in this animation is a furnace demon is as accurate as it is scary. Happy Spooky Month Everybody :)
Originally a Cannanite God but yea
Don't forget the fact that even for the people in those times this was absolutely atrocious because of the screams, it is rumoured this kind of worship still lingers among the few powerful elite and wealthy
Got it
The fact that Sir Pelo himself hearted this means its true
@@the_pumpking_ it was so atrocious that originally hell was named after a valley that was notorious for moloch sacrifices - Gehenna
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
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)
@@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...
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.
Sr. Pelo basically showed us what an actual priest is. It's as simple as that and I love it
When do we get to see Robert’s little sister?
I know everyone is talkinv about Father Gregor and the other funny moments but seeing Roy's friends supporting him and saying they're there for him whenever they come back on screen is so sweet of them😭😭😭

@@erzecaI have a feeling it’s about Roy confessing about his trauma with his creepy uncle back in episode 2
It’s implied he might have been S/A by his uncle
And he did not know it was wrong to trick Skid and Pump into going to the cult house where the uncle was waiting
@@SpiceHoundG I agree with that 100%, I just wanna know the full convo! His friends care ab him sm :((
9:16 the fact that Kevin was actually looking out for the kids is adorable 😭
Yeah 😭
I feel like Kevin, even tho skid and pump always bring him trouble, Kevin still cares about them
I love how Pelo has come full circle. He has constantly been trying to push the envelope of absurdity, and now he's pushed it so far that the most absurd thing he could produce is something more down to earth with a coherent story structure.
That’s……so real
It’s just like what MatPat said about the entertainment industry not even just about fashion and music. (Not exact quote, but something like…) “In order to keep people engaged and enthusiastic about your projects, it's essential to adapt and evolve. Otherwise, you risk becoming irrelevant and losing their interest.”
The words of him saying “I’m sorry I just wanna be better” hits so hard it showed the growth of the characters
I feel like slowly slowly, Skid and Pump are maturing

@@azizshamsi6044 they are growing up in front of our eyes oh dear 😭 my two champions
@@denysvision
They never said he WASN'T a good kid. They mean "growth" as in he's realizing that he and pump can't just go around causing trouble for other people just because they want to have fun.
Not saying they were doing it on purpose or anything, but still; that's character growth.
Fr, my heart 😭
This was a rather depressing episode… For whatever reason, Skid and Pump crying over the death of Moloch, never realizing that Moloch was never their friend or how dangerous the demon was, really hit me hard. Not to mention ending the episode with the implication that Pump’s parents seemingly don’t care about their children, and Lila feeling like an inadequate parent, yeesh, feels bad man…. Great episode, though! Well worth the wait!
Wait, they don’t care about them? I thought they just work a lot

@@sablyptical perhaps I’m exaggerating or looking too deeply into Mr. Wonder getting Pump a gift claiming it’s from his parents, but the fact that even when Pump and Susie try to call them they don’t answer (as Pump said in episode 4) doesn’t paint the best picture of them, at least in my eyes.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT I DIDNT SEE ANYONE POINT IT OUT
So refreshing to see a priest character actually not be portrayed as a creep, I understand its a prevalent issue but I'm glad I started rooting for him.
He genuinely is a good guy and gives skid's mom good critique, her negligence did lead to the boys summoning a demon
Yep. I was rooting for him as well.
Real
Yeah, that scenes where he was fighting the demons were so badass, but also glad he kinda called out Lila’s behavior because negligence leads to consequences.
I'm pretty sure he was originally a creep but was retconned
Thank you for having me on as Father Gregor, really felt like stepping out of a comfort zone for characters and was a thrill ride recording for him 💕
Bro you killed it
You were the star of the show
BRO YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS STRAIGHT FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
you rocked as Father Gregor, always a big fan of the 'authoritative elder' type voice lol
You did an incredible job!
I love how the priest is ACTUALLY serious about what he does, and how he managed to put moloch back to hell, but its very sad he was just captured by cults...
F for father gregor and the grandma
He didn't manage to put him back to hell, look again at the scene before the credits. We see a PoV shot of Moloch about to try to possess the (already possessed) mannequin in the attic.
@@theoverseer1775 That's the spider from the beginning
My theory is that those from the sect want Skip to be like his father, a member of the sect, that's why they had to get the father out of the way because he interfered with that plan.
@@theoverseer1775 no,? The spider is always different than moloch
This series is absolutely amazing, it's a perfection, i'd say! It all started as a joke, but outcame into something really deep and emotional. I like how it showed the "good" characters' bad characteristics (like Lila) and the "bad" characters good characteristics (like Frank or Roy). 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. I really am into this fandom for almost 1,5 year, and I really am obsessed with this show. Pelo, I'd like to say it: you're the best youtuber, animator and voice actor!!!
I do love that the church and priest aren’t displayed in a negative light but isn’t portrayed as a perfect place/guy with no flaws. 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.
Lisa-?
@@unbelievablyspherical it was never Lisa, what are you talking about?!?!
Jesus appears a lot in his Mokey videos, there is a chance he at least was Christian before.
I mean pelo is mexican so theres a strong chance he is or at least was

As a Christian I was very happy
To see a priest character that wasn't made to be looked down upon or made to poke fun at Christianity
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.
OOH I LIKE THIS COMMENT
I'm really happy someone was able to express my own thoughts on the man, I also hope he isn't dead, or indoctrinated into the cult of the star eye eldritch being.
@@Kallai-Esuriant-Lorekeeper unlike Moloch, Eyes doesn't seem very hostile, and plus, in the title cards he is seen up in "heaven" and his head looks like a cloud somewhat.
I think Priest will be apart of the cult now, but not dead.
Hopefully Skid and Pump can bargain with their old friend to give Father Gregor back
Father gregor was the goat.
kinda weird to say that since the devil is represented by one
but i mean like, hes prob my new fav character
When Lila called pump and he said so excitedly "Hi mom,Hi dad!" Only to realize it was Lila and he said "Oh.. :(" it made me cry..
This one really made me realize the severity of Skid and Pumps actions. While before everything happening felt like “What wacky scenario will they get into next” but now we’re seeing the harm they’re really causing
They kinda doomed the town in the first 2 episodes
Granted, I feel like in some cases the cult is more so to blame for the effects of their actions being quite as extreme as they are, like while Dexter may have still died, I'm pretty sure there's some things implying it was the cult's work that led to his soul being trapped in the Happy Fella after
@@DreamerOfTheSouthin the second ep they didn’t really doom the town because the cultists were always there
@@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
I love how Spooky Month just started as a joke and now is a good serie, but the thing that just got me was the fact that this is the first time that I almost cry on this

I just want to note how aware skid and pump are getting of just everything their experiencing. Pump would be happy to have his parents not pickup the phone as he could get away with stuff in ep 4, and he’s becoming more disappointed not being able to see his parents. And skid is becoming more aware of how harsh his dad’s passing is affecting Lila and himself. It’s just a nice (and sad) development of the two.

I like how Sr Pelo is like FUCK IT, RELEASE IT IN MARCH.
FRR LOL
Why did I hear that in his voice 😭😭
IT WAS WORTH IT
BUT IN THE SERIES THEY ARE IN NOVEMBER
End of March
25:50 made me frickin cry. Sr Pelo wtf man the series were supose to be funny and goofy. You are making it too serius and dramatic. AND I FRICKING LOVE IT! KEEP MAKING ME CRY! YEAAAAAAAA!
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.
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! He is risen!
I’m going to admit, i really enjoyed the priest’s character. They did a really good job in writing his character
Good to see how they're handling the complexity of Father Gregor.
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.
Sobre los disfraces de Halloween
El dice eso pero después lo ignora posiblemente por qué ENTIENDE que no están familiarizados con El Cristianismo o son solamente niños
I definitely like how the whole “Lila is negligent” plot is written. Whenever she’s stressed or Skid asks something serious, she distracts him with inviting him to see Pump. She lets him leave for the day without asking questions, and this happens. She is the reason Moloch, Eyes, and the Happy Fella were released.
that is a good point. I never really thought about Lilas role in the events of the series
And you can kinda sympathize with her because she's a single mom raising a hyperactive child. At least Skid has Pump to hang out with.
I was kinda the same when I was little. I'm autistic and most likely have ADHD, so my mom had a hell of a time raising me, and I think I got a kind of avoidance relationship with her
The kids were going to meet Eyes at one point or another
Meh, 50/50.
That scene with the illusion of Dexter and his mom hits so hard. It's such an intense moment, it shows Father Gregors resilience so well, and it feels like another reminder that despite Skid and Pump being well meaning kids having fun, their actions have unintentionally ruined lives.
So basically they are a walking disastet
IKR??
Crazy
I mean, outside of traumatising some people, they haven’t really ruined too many innocent people’s lives.
Which.. still doesn’t sound good…
@@Destoroyahpng at least the vampire guy´s life was not their fault.
The burglars must be REALLY DEAD-SET on successfully breaking into Skid's house
I really appreciate how most of the characters in this series are just trying to do their best. Father Gregor wasn’t really a _great_ influence on the kids, but he saw that they were in pain and tried to help them in his own flawed way. Lila isn’t a great mother, but she’s going through a lot and really does care about her kid and _wants_ to be a better mom.
He wasnt a "great" influence to them? Bro wdym lol he literally was teaching them the dangers of wandering off at night in a not so safe Town while also protecting them FROM DEMONS and trying to make them a BETTER person. I think You are kinda biased about the priest just cause he is religious lol he did way more good things for the kids than lila.
@@tuperro2402 I mean, he fully played into the idea that the reason their parents weren't spending time with them was because they weren't "good" enough for those parents. That's basically the entire conversation they had with the two cops. I'm not necessarily saying he did that intentionally, but he still did it and intentions matter less than consequences. That's why I said he tried to help them in his own flawed way, trying to help doesn't mean succeeding but trying is still commendable. I've got nothing against him for being religious, I personally think people like to scapegoat religions throughout the world for things that are caused by materialistic greed.
@@archsteel7playing into the idea would require him to constantly use it to make them strive for forgiveness. The main point of the trip was to let them into the church, which Pump told the cops. The part that stuck with Skid in that whole conversation tho was the part about his parents, but that doesn’t mean that was the focal point Father Gregory WANTED them to take away from it.
I would say the same things to Lila, is a bad mother, an irresponsable mother. @@archsteel7
Kevin actually feeling happy when customers came in to the candy store after using the Holy Water from Father Gregor, is truly the happy ending gift.
And then gets wrecked by moloch lmao
its so bland and unexplained tho

@@Leostar-Regalius sure
The Father was the MVP of the episode, and it makes me sad how his relationship with Skid and Pump deteriorated with the episode even though he was doing the right thing all the time, even though in the end it sadly seems like he died.
Yeah, he was amaizing. The kids really annoyed me this episode, even tho they are children and don't know what is good or wrong
We do Not know what happend to the Priester but it Semmes like Hes under the Control of the Stars, a godlike Entity sadly
Hope he aint dead.
Idk what it is about priests and religious folk goin after monsters with no fear and all courage that gets me so hyped, but i love it.
oh he didn't die he was indoctrinated into the cult
I don’t think he died at the end, I think instead he’s in the cult now
This may be my favorite episode. It shows how powerful the Lord can be.
I really love how this series really gets into the ways a child would think. Kids aren't that scared of monsters, but they are terrified of their parents not loving them...
Edit: Apparently I was an outlier thinking monsters were cool as opposed to scary when I was a kid...
Im not sure about that scared of monsters part
That first one isn't really true, Skid and Pump are just kinda oblivious.
Oh no, many children are afraid of monsters.
Guys, i think that Skid and Pump SPECIFICALLY aren’t scared of monsters.
Although most kids are scared of monster, so i agree.
DUDE I loved monsters! Still do lol, I completely understand what you mean though, growing up I was always afraid of not being enough or disappointing my parents, I just wanted to be a good daughter ;/
i might have already commented this but i really appreciate that father gregor isn't just a stereotypical evil/creepy priest nor is he a perfect idol of a person. he's not doing *that* great a job by feeding the kids' insecurities and degrading lila, but it does seem like his intentions of helping and protecting the kids are genuine. i like that a lot. i'm tired of people ignoring the fact that religious officials of all kinds are still human beings.
I know!! It's wonderful right?
He and kevin are my favorites idc anymore
He definitely was an enjoyable character, just a decent and heroic priest trying to do good. I liked that a lot as well, and it's nice to see for once
Mhm!! He's a delightfully well written character, I just hope this isn't the end for him
@@dransnakeidk man it looks like its really over for him
I almost shed a genuine tear when skid started apologizing to his mom. If that scene went for longer, I'd be balling my eyes out

The way Lila immediately cries shows how drunk she was, most of the time people hold it in for atleast more than 5 seconds. It also could be she’s just really heart broken, but when she didn’t cry at parts where she also should’ve earlier in the episode.
Me too buddy, me too
I did tear up
@@susancubello1340 I think she cried less because of she was drunk, more of how she saw how Skid was being effected by her acting like this, and she felt shame because she couldn't stay strong for her child, and now he was blaming himself because of that

its such a sad sight to see them like that man i get teary eyed everytime 😭
It's actually heartbreaking to see and hear them both cry :((
It's a good detail that Lila was all drunken sounding towards Father Gregor but quickly became genuine once she noticed Skid. Makes us know the surprise and urgancy.
I don't often get genuinely sad over fictional characters, but damn, Lila and Skid crying made me cry too, their situation is very heartbreaking
ligit
fr I want to hug them too and cry with them
Same. Lila is definitely flawed, but it's clear that she geniuenely cares about her son and tries to make life as normal as can be in the little hell hole that they live in for him. It really hurts a bit as the viewer too cuz we know that Lila isn't a regular drinker and we've seen all her effort.
I never say this pop up in my feed, so I saved it to watch this year for Halloween late in the evening. It brought me to tears and this story keeps getting better

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.
It's unreal how everything started like a lighthearted video celebrating halloween and it has become not only its own thing but even sad and depressing at times too.
There's no way the silly Halloween series is making me cry. All the characters are so well written and have developed beautifully, I genuinely can't wait for more
Dude Father Gregor is a badass. I'm so happy you wrote him to be strict and orderly, but not to the point where he becomes a comical asshole. Making him brave and resourceful is something we don't get to see from a lot of religious figures in fiction these days. I'm an agnostic athiest myself, so I don't neccesarily have a horse in this race, but it's just really refreshing to see a fictional priest who isn't comically evil or a total coward.
Alternatively with comedy related or dark medias priests are always reserved or presented as constant child predators or some similar shit.
I'm really glad there's not a single joke about it but instead a single acknowledged concern for kids about priest following them and that's it.
He's literally honest to god priest who actually knows his stuff and actually competent to take on demons despite age with cross and holy water alone and no additional bullshit like a gun.
Kinda reminds me of Faith the Unholy trinity with similar concept of priest taking on demons with cross alone.
i was looking for this comment. i’m a christian, and im so happy he was depicted like this.
Couldn't agree more. As a Muslim myself, it's really cool to see a pastor who's trying to do good for his community. The fact that he's willing to put himself in danger just to keep two stupid kids (no hate to them) is just so cool and refreshing to see. It's really tiring when a pastor is portrayed as a predator or a cult leader. I mean, I get that it's a real problem but not every pastor is like that and I'm glad that Pelo went with this. Hopefully he'll be able to free himself from that demon (forgot the name)
He’s so cool!! 🥰
@@reidj2226if john ward somehow found his way here God is gonna send him to the cult and shits gonna get funcky
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.
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.
Yeah, the guy was cool it is so sad that he looked into that thing’s eyes, so he is linda lista now

Well yeah but then he accused Lila of being a bad mom for drinking when it seems the reason she was so stressed to need a drink was the paranoia she gained after the events of tender treats I mean she did install an alarm after that and sure it’s not like father gregor knew of bob velseb or the other times skid and pump were in danger but still he was such a dick towards Lila without knowing the full story

As much as I like Lila, on this occasion the priest was absolutely right.
the priest ded bro theirs no saving the town now.
It wasn't just this occasion.
In episode 2, her first reaction to seeing them after a home invasion in the middle of the night was "Hey kids, where ya been?"
In episode 3, she sent Skid to play with Pump when she was too busy trying to call an exterminator for the "rat" she could've dealt with herself.
In episode 5, she let the kids go trick-or-treating completely unsupervised.
And of course, in just about every episode, she has no issues with the two going out alone by themselves at night.
@@binkyboy448 as much as i don't want to admit it, you are very right.
Gotta love how we see both perspectives here. She just wanted to relax this time cause her life has been really stress inducing. Murderers, weirdos, burglars, living dolls lusting for blood... ALL of that. And this time she returns home only to be met with her kid (and Pump) crying and some random priest scolding her for being an irresponsible mother.
That's a huge punch in the gut.
I think father Gregor only assumed certain things (like her drinking regularly which we know isn't the truth).
fr
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.
Didn't actually expect a spooky month episode to make me cry but here we are
REAL
It made me tear up a little at the end
Yeah, this ep was just…Tear-jerking, Bawling, Tragic, just Dark, just wow.
im sorry- but I gotta agree with the priest. Lila hasn’t put much attention towards her child that much through a bunch of episodes. She wouldn’t pay attention with her kid, UNTIL it was too far. The only time she actually *WAS* caught up with her child’s situation, was when she saw the red costume guy across the road. She understood what was up since the *START.*
EDIT: sure, Lila is trying her best, but it’s obvious her best ISN’T good at all. She’s getting *drunk,* she’s not paying *attention,* and she is spending time with her friend instead of her *child.*
Priest is actualy be my 's own thoughts in this video thats why i like him this much
I agree. I really liked the priest character
HI ANIMATION8R!!!
I think we also have to look at it from her perspective tho; Skid WANTS to hang out with Pump a lot which is a main reason he's also over at his house, and they're always out and about because they know everyone in that neighborhood and no one has said anything to Lila about Skid's behavior (and you'd think someone like Kevin would) so she'd, like most parents, would assume he's fine. She also leaves Pump's Sister in charge of them to WATCH them, and she's the main one ignoring them even after she was ASKED by Lila to just keep an eye on them knowing how they are (not to mention, Susie saying "oh he stepped outside" when asking about her grandpa 9/10 means he's not far or will be right back) so she has/had good reasons to leave Skid alone (with Pump) most of the episodes.
Not even just this, but the fact this is like the 3-4th time her house has been broken into by Bob and The Burglars; I wouldn't feel safe about my child being around there so the next best thing is his friend's house. She really does try though, she's always there for Skid when things go bad and she doesn't hesitate to protect him so if anything, she's not a negligent mother; she's a stressed the fuck out one and turned to a bad coping mechanism (drinking), and it looked like it genuinely broke her to see Skid think he's apart of the problem.
@@hu7380yeah, and I feel like after this Ep. Lila is going try better and find others healthy ways to beat her negligence and stress issues and try to guide skids, this is a very complex and complicated situation.
I love how old monsters that were originally just in the series as jokes, are making serious returns this time, and the story is starting to get more and more serious
This episode was insane- the fact that they were nice to an Eldritch god once and now they're under it's divine protection is just so indescribable ?? 😭
I think it implies that the eldritch god is divine? the end card shows the priest flying upwards where the eldritch god is while still holding onto his cross. also he kneeled down in awe infront of it. very interesting honestly.
So,Eyes is an Eldritch god?
how exactly were they under divine protection?
@@jessesobel7448 its more so implied, especially with pumps blue eyes being a badge of sorts for it, he can see things other people cant, combine that with the odd amount of conveniences that usualy keep them out of harms way after there encounter with eyes, its certainly something to think about, but definitely not proven completely yet
@@georgeholstein5230also when the father turn moloch into stone he says “The lord, The son, The divine soul, and the Sacred Sky” That could imply that Stars being in the sky could have something to do with the Fathers religion. Maybe I’m reading too much into it tho

The fact that moloch had to personally ask the children in order to enter their bodies just shows how fucking powerful skid and pump actually are. Like with the nurse patty and candy Kevin guy he just kinda jumped in, but with the two kids he had to ask.
Think about it, he could’ve entered the kids bodies five episodes ago, but he didn’t. The only times he can is during this episode, when they let him in.
Also, the only time moloch was able to physically hurt the priest and make him bleed is when he used the kids as a vessel.
He had a literal nurse with medicinal equipment under his control, but he still couldn’t harm the priest until he had the kids in his grasp.
If I had to guess, it's because of the fact that they were the ones who summoned him, so they are in control of him to an extent. That's why he expressly needs permission to possess them, whereas everyone else is free reign.
@@spoopertrooper2726 I think it might also have something to do with Eyes, seeing as how Pump naturally glows after their encounter. As if embued with eldritch power.

They’re also voiced by the same dude
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.
Ah yes, the mankind lol
Who’s the spider?
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.
The father Gregor was awesome ❤
What dose the spider mean? Also you can notice the eyeball in the trash can move. 26:23
Amazing. Thought i would watch for a second to see what the animation creator was about, and got completely sucked into the story line. Loved this!
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.
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?
@@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.

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.
He’s stern, I wouldn’t say rude
@@Deathworm-eg5lt he did burn a kids face tho
@@duncanchillake8024 he’s still better than the majority of the other characters
Skid feeling like a burdan to his mom and them breaking down together just broke me, its a feeling a lot of children have and its hits right in the feels😭
Waited 6 Months to watch in the "Right Time" and boy, i really love this series, y'all getting crazier and better as the years go by, I LOVE DA SPOOKY MONTH!!!
You’d expect all 3 of the older boys to be bullying Skid and Pump, but no, only Roy was. That really stood out to me. A simple and effective way to make them more complex characters.
I know! I love how Ross and Robert started out as just bullies, but it sort of seems like the more they got to know Skid and pump it almost seems like they're friends. It's kind of wholesome. And Roy deserved that punch SO MUCH
@@neptuneisthebestfrhe didn't but say what you want. He only bullies them because of his parents-
@@Alastorandmm2lover i'm not only talking about the bullying, he tried to get Skid and Pump into stuff with his uncle, he's stolen Candy, and he's just a straight up jerk.
Doesn't justify it though. Yes, him being punched by Ross was definitely not needed but just because his parents are neglectful, doesn't mean bullying little kids is okay.
@@Alastorandmm2lover k whatever. It's my opinion.
I love how this series started as a little joke animation and became a full-fledged story where every episode is better than the last. Amazing.
I love how the priest isn't portrayed as evil, he really just wants to protect the children
The correct portrayal, at least to me.
Im christian and I was expecting it to be like a goofy and bad portrayal of the priest but Im actually really glad it wasnt like that and pelo did a good job.
@@Ambrozy50same honestly. Genuinely glad they actually portrayed a priest correctly .
I’d dissagree, I thought it was a bit goofy/stereotypical/innacurate but I guess you cant make everyone happy 🤷♂️
@@Ambrozy50 Pelo did a good job in portraying the priest tbh
These kids are so cute i love them all, I almost completely forgot about them ❤❤❤
Even though he didn't deserve that ending, Father Gregor might be my new favourite character in this whole series. His genuine devotion to set Skid and Pump on the right path was nothing short of heartfelt and inspiring, and he was definitely the light of hope this cursed-as-all-hell town needed.
It's a shame that he might as well be dead with him being exposed to the Eyes of the Universe though...
Once again, excellent work on this, Pelo and everyone else who was involved. This series continues to be one of my favourite indie creations, and I eagerly await next year's installment.
if i know Pelo im pretty sure hes gonna bring back the Priest to a Mind-controlled guy and Skid and Pump just basically remind him of Faith of God thus making him a good guy that is gonna repel "The Stars".
@@BalledPlays More likely Pump is going to have a massive involvement on that, since he resisted the stars, kinda got "imbued" by the power as we see in every frame he is in the dark, his eyes glow "the stars" glow. Plus the fact he kinda befriended the eldritch beast
i dont think hes dead. just brainwashed. This is a pretty big problem for the town since now the cult has power of basically the whole church
we dont know if hes dead to be honest i hope not. also wasnt the eldritch monster ok with them
I am curious about the mythology of this world. There are christian gods, yet also eldritch gods
I love how this series went from being just a silly lil dance to actually having a full on plot and lore.
I really like father gregor’s attitude.
Serious, deisciplined, dedicated, speaking truth, and all.
(But can’t resist the dance)
Mere mortals can not resist the Spooky Dance. We are powerless against it
@@venividiedi4757 but at least it's used for good intentions to make people happy
