* In a sense, Steve Wilkin's death was a result of his own failure to follow the rules. Remember, on Halloween night, you can't count on anyone being what they appear to be. Even more so when you realize he told his son to go watch ''WesternAnimation/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown'', wherein the character Lucy had advised to always wear a costume that contrasted one's personality. Literature/LittleRedRidingHood was the '''last''' person he should have been messing with on Halloween, and he should have known it.

** With his dad dead, chances are people will notice, find out about Wilkin's "hobby", and he'll be put into adoptive care after some psychological testing.

** Or alternately-alternately, she ''did'' take a thump on the head on top of all the panic she'd succumbed to. It's possible she was in a fugue state and unaware of what she was doing, in which case the bullies' fate was pure HoistByHisOwnPetard for reducing her to such a condition.

** It's also possible that the schoolbus kids recognized that Rhonda herself has an AmbiguousDisorder (she's implied to be on the autism spectrum) and thus see her as a kindred spirit. Macy and her friends taunted Rhonda just because of her mental condition, which likely struck a chord with them, since they were murdered for the same reason.

** And at the end of the day, werewolves are predatory creatures. They kill because that's simply what they do. True, there is the problem of a sapient predator knowingly and willingly killing sapient prey, but all in all, that's what ordinary people are to them. The antelope to the werewolf's lion.

* The party Lauren and her friends have takes place in a location called Sheep's Meadow. Fitting since all the invitees are the "sheep", and the hosts are wearing sheep's clothing.

** Not necessarily. Consider that on the same night, Mr. Kreeg was also messily killed, as were the kids at Mr. Wilkins' house, Wilkins's "date", the kids at the quarry, and the victims of the werewolves, including Wilkins himself. Now, assuming Laurie doesn't leave anything behind, it would be very easy and convenient for the police to believe that ''all'' the murders were the work of one man, the now missing Wilkins, whose home and yard will yield some very damning evidence to support that narrative.
