This is the first Halloween twelve-year-old Scott Scarborough gets to choose his own costume, and he wants something genuinely scary. When he visits the local thrift shop, the strange shopkeeper hands him a petrified turnip lantern with a gruesome carved face.
The old man suggests Scott take the lantern and be the legendary Stingy Jack—a notorious trickster and deceiver who was barred from both heaven and the underworld, has been doomed to wander the earth for eternity, and was the inspiration for the modern-day Jack-o’-Lantern.
Scott takes the lantern, thinking it's the ultimate prop for his Halloween look. He lights the candle inside, but the flame refuses to go out, and a bitter, unnatural cold settles over his life. Soon, Scott realizes his strange, harmless-looking lantern has unleashed an ancient curse and a legendary, faceless trickster who has come to collect.
Welcome to Badlands: Your Nightmare has just Begun
Beneath the normal exterior of Badlands lies the strange superstitions and eerie rules of its founders, reminding the town's youth that old folklore and the warnings of the past don’t disappear—they are only forgotten.
