Sometimes a host of gory details only serves to distract from the real story. Eric believes that may well be the case with this episode of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, season 4, episode 1, entitled "Halloween Horror". When the Liskey family is massacred in their sleep the night before Halloween, their isolated Ohio farmhouse becomes a scene of horrifying mystery. Blood splatter evidence abounds, but what led to this shocking outburst of savage violence against this seemingly happy Oak Harbor family? Was there a deeper and darker secret here this particular hour of television was too timid to lay bare? Brotherly love gone tragically wrong, perhaps? Bring your theories to the table. Eric has his own, as always.
