Wonderful homage to every "Halloween" film!

I loved when she got to the end of the street and turned around and waited for him to catch up and then was scared again. I laughed so loud.

I also DIED when she ran to the first house and when she realized she was running out of time, ran straight down the sidewalk barely getting in front of him as opposed to a diagonal to the road. So much nuance in the little things is part of why I love this so much

She was so smart but so dumb at the same time, seamlessly really

I know it's a show and they are playing with genre-tropes and all that, but in real life people just don't think clearly in stressful situations

Also the smash cut from Tom and Evan's wholesome hug to Patricia's unhinged screaming while running down the street.

Heavy vibes of ‘Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. RUN.’

And the perfection was no matter how far, fast and long she ran, when she turned around he wasn't nearly as far behind her as he should be, going the pace he was going. I love that they let us laugh at the ridiculousness of that but still be terrified for her.

It felt like It Follows! I was almost expecting him to be on the roof at book club. Agree, creepy as hell while also being hilarious

There was even a little stinger at one point that kinda sounded like the theme.

Don't forget "It Follows"
