There is something to knowing what frightens you the most, so that you can try to battle it. While it can take years to find a way to not be afraid any longer, some people never try, and it can hurt them in the long run. When you have a fear that you are not willing to face, you might find yourself in a situation that will leave you paralyzed. It is all right to be afraid of things, no matter how big or small, but it is how you are willing to react when you come face to face with it that determines if you will be able to survive.

Talking with her son who was taken away by the Creeper twenty-three years ago, Gaylen finds out that the creature is once again on the loose. Begging his mother to leave with her granddaughter Addison, Kenny has words of wisdom from beyond the grave. With something hidden on the hill behind the barn, the Creeper will come to retrieve it before his time is up and will kill anyone that gets in his way. Wanting to know what Kenny buried in the back, Gaylen sends her granddaughter on some errands while she gets ready to uncover something that will change her world forever.

In the middle of town, the local police have located the infamous Creeper van that was thought to only be a legend. Opening up the back and seeing dead bodies inside, they know that they have finally put a dent in the hunting pattern from the last few days, but they are starting to find out that this will not make a difference. As Sheriff Tashtego arrives on the scene and notices the booby traps, he gets filled in on the firefight that took place and with his task force ready for battle, he might be able to end the scourge that he faced once before when he was a young man. But getting word that the van is being towed back to impound without an escort, Tashtego knows that the Creeper will be on the hunt to get his vehicle back sooner than later.

Basking in the light of victory is a good thing for people to do every now and then, but you have to know when to come back down to Earth. Even though it is hard to admit, life continues to move around you and if you don’t pay attention because you think it is foolish, you might miss something that will take you down a level or two. While I am all for taking a victory lap and enjoying it for what it is worth, it is meaningless if you are not able to follow up on it with another win, because that is what life is all about. Keep your drive alive and keep working to be the best and celebrate when you have the chance, just remember to keep an eye out as the world keeps spinning.

While getting ready to put some posts in the ground, Jack Taggart Sr. is making sure that his youngest son Billy knows what he is doing. Hanging the scarecrows in the corn field, it is important that he gets them on tight so they don’t blow off again. Turning his attention back to the Post-Puncher and seeing that someone messed with it, Jack is upset with both of his boys, but when he hears Billy scream in the cornfield and sees something taking the boy, Jack shuts down and does not know what to do. But Jackie Jr. is not giving up on finding his brother and finds a knife that has been left by the creature in the field that gives his father the perfect idea. Getting out to the barn and making a weapon that will ground this flying beast, Jack does not know what lies on the road ahead for himself and his boy.

Driving back after winning the championship basketball game, the group of players are having a great time and screaming their chant song until the bus gets a flat tire. Investigating the cause of this flat, the driver and coaches find what appears to be a throwing star made of bone stuck in it. Trying to call back in for help on the radio, the driver gets no response. As time goes by and everyone is getting restless, the group loads back onto the bus and tries to make it a little further to get a signal. While falling asleep, cheerleader Minxie has a dream of two different boys telling the group to turn back, but she is not able to figure out why, but when seeing a creepy man running alongside the bus before he causes another flat tire, she is shocked to see that her dream was in fact, reality.

Finding another bone throwing star in the tires, the adults understand that there is something strange going on and try to keep the kids calm, but that only lasts for so long as the Creeper takes them away one by one. With no more adults, team captain Scotty tries to take control of the situation but does not have the buy in from everyone else. With the doors locked, the group gets to see what they are up against face to face as the Creeper takes a long look at his future meals through the back window.  Passing out from fear, Minxie has another dream and knows exactly what they are up against. Telling the group what she saw, they must try and find a way to survive the Creeper’s attacks, but only wanting a few of the group causes a rift that possibly none of them will survive.

I must admit, as a sequel goes, this one really did the story right. With plenty of scares like the original, you get some great deaths as well, even some reanimation of limbs for the Creeper which was excellent. I liked the two storylines between Jack’s family and the high schoolers combining at the end, as the story really went around full circle for a great payoff. I am still unsure how Minxie got the gift of seeing the ghosts of the previously deceased, I wish that would have been explained a little better, but with the Creeper taking anyone at will, it did not take too much away from the storyline. With missing limbs, a dog, a bone handle knife, a massive harpoon gun, a revenge minded father, a pissed off basketball team and a bus that gets totally destroyed. This is just a fun movie overall and you should be able to identify with one of the stories being told, since it covers much more than love and revenge. Stay Scared.

Getting a little bit of girl time in, Denise and Evie are enjoying their breakfast when the Sheriff notices a cute little baby and his mother. Trying to find out if Denise will ever want kids one day, she finds out that Stan’s little girl is more into the macabre and only has eyes for the grounds keeper at the local cemetery. Really only having eyes for Kevin, Evie tries to get her young friend to expand her outlook, but seeing that it is getting her nowhere, she decides to do the next best thing, help Denise get a job as a babysitter. 
​
Continuing to try and figure out how to use the demon eyes to go back in time to save his wife’s life, Stan gets his daily interruption from Evie who is pleased with herself for helping to get Denise out of the house. But Stan is not too happy about this change in events, as he will now be forced to do the mundane task of getting ice for his warm lemon water on his own. Being left alone in the house might not be all bad however, as everyone is starting to find out as the affection that Denise is giving the baby will keep them from harm’s way, or so they believe until they discover what young Aiden Braden really is.

Getting the general breakdown of what young Aiden Braden likes and needs to be properly taken care of, Denise seems to have forged a quick bond with the child. Going out for a walk, she runs into Kevin who sees something evil in the eyes of the baby and while trying to warn the woman that he likes, she shuts him down right there. Knowing that the baby is different from others, she has no idea what Aiden Braden is capable of when push comes to shove. 

After being beaten within an inch of his life, Kevin is able to give the description of his attacker to Evie and Stan and the two are shocked at seeing a baby’s face on the screen. Thinking that Kevin is out of his mind when it comes to trying to win Denise’s affection back from the child and that he did this to himself, they try to explain the situation to Denise, but she has a story to tell as well. After telling the dynamic duo about what Aiden Braden is really like and showing off her new scares from the child, something finally clicks for Evie and she pulls out the demon book to see what she can find. Locating a demon type that has been known to be portrayed as a baby, the group find out that Kevin was not lying and there is a demon baby out there trying to insure he will not be deprived of his food by someone else looking to take Denise’s affection away from him.

Wow, is all I can say about this episode, as we get our long-awaited demon baby that cannot be stopped. I would feel bad if a baby was able to beat the crap out of anyone, I mean other than emotionally, because they are small bundles of joy, but it is obvious that when there is a demon baby, you can throw all the cards out the window. I love that this was a Denise episode, I was starting to wonder when we would get one this season. Not knowing if she wants a baby or not, she does have plenty of feelings for Kevin and I hope to see this little relationship moving forward as the series continues. Stan is still trying to find out what he needs to do to make the demon eyes work and I am sure that there will be a payoff for this at some point. Evie is always on top of her game and knowing that the demon baby is not what it appears to be, she makes the right call and is able to disarm the baby’s powers. Well, there’s only two episodes left in this season and still so much to get to, I just hope it gets all tied up by the last one. Stay Scared.

As another nice and quiet day kicks off in Willard’s Mill, Evie is forced to play chauffeur for the former sheriff once again. Trying to explain to Stan why alcohol is not allowed in the police cruiser, the two spot a car going way too fast. Pulling over the driver and getting hit on for the third time this week, Evie is just flat out tired of such attention and Stan plants the idea in her head that if she was wearing a ring, then maybe the madness would end, but he mainly offers that kind of advice because he does not want to hear about it anymore.
​
Arriving at the local antique shop, Evie is ready to buy a new ring, shocking the owner who knows what marriage is supposed to symbolize. Finding an old ring from behind the counter, the woman passes it off to Evie for no cost as she has always loved to help out the police, but little does Evie know what secrets the ring contains. Falling asleep with the ring on, Evie gets a firsthand account of seeing the man whom she pulled over earlier that day getting his throat slit. Thinking little of this at the time, she gets a call from Leon saying that they have a new dead body on their hands, and to Evie’s surprise, it is the same man from her dream, being killed in the same way.

Getting ready to start his day at the office, Leon sees a young woman in distress that needs his help. Trying to keep her calm, he is challenged to a fight by her overbearing boyfriend and he is not the only one to hit the floor as the man falls to his death after the beating. But there is something strange about this newly dead man, since it turns out he died two years ago, and things are starting to get a little bit stranger as the tests run on the driver come back with very a key piece of evidence, in that he was killed by the living dead. Not knowing how these things are being tied together, Evie knows that she cannot go to sleep again, since she is filled with fear that she will kill someone in her dreams.

Trying to get Stan to lend a hand, Evie gets Denise instead who is always full of energy and overall this might be a good way to stay awake through the night. But when Denise falls asleep, Evie is on her own and quickly finds out that she cannot stay awake. Nodding off and seeing the killer arrive at Stan’s bed, she is able to wake up and warn him of the impending threat. Knowing that somehow the ring is part of the visions she is having, Evie digs through the old files of how the other constables of the town were killed and stumbles upon a picture that shows the ring, along with a face from the past that looks very familiar. Needing to question the old shop keeper, Evie and Leon find out that love is a much more powerful thing than they could ever imagine, since it can even give someone the gift of everlasting life.

This was a very good episode and while I was not blown away by it, the plot begins to thicken as it shows how tired Evie has become of being hit on over the course of this season. With Evie getting to be privy to murders in her dreams, she finds out that some folks are more about purity than anything else. Leon gets some action inside the office, with a beat down and a looming affair with a recently widowed woman, two times. Denise is loving the fact that she will have baby crows to take care of in the back of the car, but really shows that nobody is able to sleep without rearranging during the night. Stan is being pulled back into the case again while he would rather keep the relationship with his ass and his chair strong moving forward. With another witch being disposed of, in older person fashion, I cannot wait to see where the next episode takes us. Stay Scared.

Getting ready for an uneventful night in Willard’s Mill, Evie and Denise are ready for their favorite show to come on. With it being the final episode of The Finance, they are both upset that the show is coming to an end. But when Denise leaves to get some popcorn, The Finance starts to point out that Evie could be the winner of the show, if she bothered to pretty herself up a little bit. Ordering Denise to go and get some make-up from a living person, Evie finds herself unknowingly under the spell of a witch from Willard’s Mill’s illustrious past.
​
Finding his way to the bar while the girls watch other people live their lives, Stan is approached by a stranger who is obsessed with making wagers. Not being able to remove a dollar from under a bottle without knocking it over and having a drink in silence, Stan discovers that this is not a normal man, but another victim of Constable Eccles. Trying to pick the man’s brain for a couple of tips about how he can use the demon’s eyes to travel back in time to save his wife, the stranger will not break and wants to play one final game with Stan to finally put the former sheriff six feet under.

Taking him back in time to the day that he found out he wanted to be sheriff, Stan is forced to relive the account of kicking a dying man while he was down. Questioning the former sheriff’s motives of not wanting to become a doctor to save the man’s life instead, the stranger is not happy with the answer and summons a creature from the deep to take Stan down. Being able to fend off the creature, Stan is given yet another wager that there will be a dead person in his home when he returns. With the fear of something happening to the women in his life, Stan takes the wager and is shocked to see what he arrives home to.

After getting all gussied up for The Finance, Evie is excited to see that she has gotten a gift from the host as well, a nice shiny dagger. With the promise of being together after she rids the world of Denise, Evie now sees the only thing standing between her and true happiness. Watching as Evie is breaking down in the other room, Denise gets a friendly visit from Deputy Leon who does not want to be alone either as the finale plays out. Getting chased around the house by a love obsessed Evie, Denise and Leon are happy to see that Stan has arrived home and he makes the stranger one last wager for the lives of his loved ones.

What can be said about this season, as the episodes are just getting better and better as it continues to play out. Stan is back to trying to figure out how he can utilize the eyes of the demon to travel back in time to save his wife and how this mysterious Gerard Duquette character can help make that happen. Evie is having a hard time not being in a relationship and the friendly words from The Finance are just want she needs to get her life back in order. Denise is just trying to have a good night with her friend who seems to be losing her mind while watching the show and comes up with a great rap song and Leon is tired of being alone as well. I must admit that the reason to watch this episode is basically for The Shining homage, and it was great to see Jeffrey Combs on the screen again, because his cameo is something that the term ‘Legend’ is built on. Stay Scared.

After not being able to contact her ex-husband, Evie is shown that he is up to his old tricks to gain his daughter’s love once again. Getting young Grace a pony to claim the ‘Greatest Dad Ever’ title, Evie finds out that the young horse will be her responsibility to take care of. Getting home and building a post to keep Daffodil in the yard, Denise rushes over to see the new steed. Not wanting the pony to fell small, she has a plan to make sure that Daffodil knows how much he is loved in the community by building a pony town.
​
Going out to get a beer, Stan and Kenny hit it off and the two men get to talking about future plans and how Kenny wants to get back with Evie. Not thinking that this is a good idea, but wanting a new friend, Stan invites Kenny to stay at the house while his daughter has taken to sleeping on the tire swing. While Kenny is looking for love once again, he tries to convince his former wife to take him back, but the tension is starting to not only get to the Sheriff, but to her pony as well. Getting back to the house and showing Stan who he really is, Kenny is kicked out of the house for the night, but that might not be a bad thing as he is good at making new friends, just maybe not the ones he really needs.

Trying to find Daffodil before going to bed, Evie is approached by a cowboy looking stranger that needs some help. Not being able to stay and find out his story after getting a call about a murder, Evie quickly finds out that there is an aggressive animal on the loose that she needs to find. Asking questions around town, she is approached by the stranger once again and is starting to get upset with him trying to hit on her during the investigation. Seeing that she will not be able to rid herself of the stranger, much less her ex, Evie needs a break from all men, but that is not in the cards for her.

As Kenny does not want to give up his quest to get the Barret band back together, he witnesses the stranger putting the moves on Evie and is forced to leave the house in a huff. Watching as her ex and the stranger load up in his Camaro, she has no idea who or what the man really is. Getting word from Leon that the animal attack had traces of pony saliva in the wound and not being able to get ahold of Kenny, she turns to Stan to try and figure out where her ex ended up for the night. But arriving at Stan’s house and seeing that Kenny is missing, she fears for the worst and is forced to face the thing of nightmares as the Werepony is ready to claim his next victim.

This has to be my favorite episode of Stan Against Evil since it truly embraces everything that I love about the show. With just the right amount of relationships, killer pony and bro time with cargo shorts, it just hit the spot in all the right ways. With Stan making a new friend and then tossing him to the curb, it is obvious that he needs another good friend in his life. Evie is not torn when it comes to her feelings about her past life and being married to Kenny at all and will not allow the toothpaste to be put back in the tube. Denise is ecstatic that there is a pony in Willard’s Mill and will do everything possible to make sure he is happy and safe in his new surroundings and Deputy Leon appears to be envious of massive sideburns. While this is kind of taking a side step when it comes to what the previous episodes have brought forth, this is still a just a great episode that graces us with great cameos by David Koechner and Steven Ogg, love it! Stay Scared.

After digging down to Evie’s coffin, Stan and the Black Hat Society have released a Wraith that will stop at nothing to kill them. But this Wraith has never faced a man as determined as Stan Miller before, who is able to defeat the beast with a shovel. Reciting what she knows about the legend, Lara has Stan remove the eyes from the Wraith, so he can travel back in time to save Evie from her death. Arriving at the old Eccles farmstead, Stan is told that he only has to walk through the door with the eyes and he will travel back in time.
​
Walking out of the farmhouse in 1692, Stan sees a wisecracking Evie tied to the stake awaiting her punishment for being a witch. Untying her, Stan’s memory is starting to come back about who Evie really is, but there is little time for him to put it all together as Eccles is able to unleash a Wraith, or what he calls ‘God’s Solider’ to bring the two back to him. Being able to fight off the beast once again, the two make it back to the farmhouse, but Evie is ready to take a final shot to end the torment of Eccles before he can kill anyone else. Pushing his friend back through the time traveling farmhouse, the two pick up where they left off before Evie was taken to the past and life seems to go back to normal.

Enjoying being back at the office, Evie is just one happy camper, but there is still something that is latched on to her. Disappearing when talking to Leon, Evie can see herself, but no one else in can. Not knowing what this means for her, she heads over to Stan’s house to get any advice. While waiting and talking to Denise when visible, once Stan walks in, she vanishes once again. Wanting to find a reason why, she finds out that Stan has a plan that will keep her solid in this time stream, but the risk involved might be more than either of them are willing to take.

Thinking that everything is back the way it should be, Stan gets a friendly visit from Eccles who has just one message for him, his daughter or Evie must be returned to 1692. Hearing that his good friend will be caught in limbo if one of them does not leave the time stream, Stan has made up his mind and is ready to pick up poor Constance and send her back to her father. But Constance is ready for any fight that the former sheriff is willing to bring her way and tries to stop him, yet finds out that there might be a way around the rules that Eccles has set. With plenty of tricks up her sleeve, Constance may have the power to travel to anywhere she likes, but will it be in the best interest of Willard’s Mill if she does?

This is a very good ending to the season-opening cliffhanger, since there is very little time passing between the episodes, actually just a commercial break. Even though Stan does not remember his past of killing the demons that are trying to kill him and Evie, he is able to bring the fight to the un-killable Wraith who does not stand a chance against a shovel. Watching as Evie arrives home is great, and it seems like nothing has changed in the town outside of her absence. But the real story is about what is going on in Stan’s head, knowing that he can time travel now, he might have the opportunity to go back in time and save his wife’s life. I don’t know how that is really going to change the time stream, much less if it is possible in the Stan universe, but I do know that things happen for a reason, and the possibility of keeping someone alive could cause more problems than solutions. Stay Scared.

A little over a week after Evie has been taken by Constable Eccles, Stan is starting to have strange dreams about a woman that he never knew. Waking up in his dreams and talking to this woman named Evie, Stan is told that he is living in the wrong world but does not quite understand what that means. 

​Getting up to start a new day, Stan calls his daughter Evie and Denise wants to get to the bottom of what is going on with her father and wonders if Stan is cheating on the memory of her mother. With strange visions taking over his day, Stan runs into someone else that he thinks that he knows, but cannot quite place it once again, and this is only the beginning.

After seeing that their savior is starting to reconnect with the real past, the Black Hat Society is ready to take their next steps, but there are problems in the group as Judy does not know if anyone wants any snacks. Trying to keep the group focused on the task at hand, Lara and Constance continue the meeting and the group winds up at the grave of Stan’s dead wife. With chants to praise the fallen soldier in the fight against evil, they are interrupted by Stan who has more questions. Bringing Lara and Constance into his home, Stan finds out more about the wife that he has forgotten after the loss of Willard’s Mill’s old sheriff.

Without being able to take a step anywhere without having a memory of this stranger Evie, Stan needs to get to the bottom of what is happening to him. Finding out that his wife was involved in the fight against evil, he is starting to put the pieces together from the visions he cannot get away from. Hearing that he is supposed to save this witch Evie Barret somehow, Stan heads to the cemetery and tries to locate her grave. But there is something hiding under the soil that is much more sinister than a witch as a creature from Stan’s dreams comes to life. Knowing that this is a trap set by Eccles, Lara and Constance fear for their lives, but they do not what Stan Miller is capable of when it comes to killing demons. 

This is a really fun start to the second season of Stan Against Evil, as you pretty much pick up right where the previous season has ended, well, at least eleven days after the first season ended. With Evie being taken to the past and judged as a witch, it has changed the history of the town and while most everything seems to be the same, it is different and while Stan is starting to see this with his own two eyes, the Black Hat Society knows it for sure. And now I am more intrigued to know what happened to Evie that put her into the Wicca history books, since it was told that she disappeared before being burned at the stake. Well, it looks like this season is starting off right with a cliffhanger that may or may not give us the return of Evie Barret to present time and possibly the return to reality that Willard’s Mill may desperately need. Stay Scared.
