YMMV / Sleepy Hollow S 2 E 04 Go Where I Send Thee

• Complete Monster: The Pied Piper is an extremely sinister demon who is known for mass slaughter of soldiers and for what it does with children. Each generation, the Piper preys on a daughter of the Lancaster family; the child, when she turns 10, is kidnapped and taken to the Piper's lair to await her fate, which is usually her bones being made into the Piper's instruments—but only after being starved to death. Out of nothing but spite, when the girl is rescued, the Piper proceeds to infect all the girl's siblings with a fatal illness to force the parents to either return the chosen girl to the Piper or watch their other children die.
