That was entirely my bad. I misremembered the two teens having fake guns in the book and I was wrong, sorry.
Deleted line(s) 1 (click to see context) :
* Tabitha and Lee's "joke" and the first reason Drew wants revenge on them. They threw a Halloween party wherein they arranged for two high school kids they knew to pose as armed robbers, who crashed the party and forced all the kids to do push-ups ''at gunpoint''. At no point is it indicated that they were punished for what they did, with Lee's mom not realizing how distressed the party guests were when she returned to the house. Already mean when the book was released, but RealismInducedHorror sets in due to the amount of mass shootings that have plagued America since the book's publication, which makes Tabitha and Lee look outright monstrous for traumatizing Drew and the others for a joke only they found funny.

* The ending is pretty damn creepy. After scaring the hell out of bullies Tabby and Lee, Shane and Shana are revealed to be the Pumpkin Heads, and then they are revealed to actually be HumanAliens who can disguise themselves, and so were everybody else in the neighborhood they went to. As they depart, Drew offers them candy, but they say they actually eat ''human flesh'', and they tell her she's not an adult and plump enough to be eaten just yet. The book ends with Drew continually asking if they're just joking...
