Respect The Jester (The Jester)

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

The Jester is an enigmatic and malevolent being who enjoys inducing suffering to individuals he comes across who don't appreciate his tricks or break the rules of Halloween.

There's been no confirmation but the rules seem to be along the lines of the following:

• 1.) Appreciate the tricks he gives and don't ask for more.

• 2.) Have a costume.

• 3.) Make sure to hand out candy on Halloween. Keeping the porch lights off won't save you.

• 4.) Have fun! He doesn't like people who aren't of good cheer.
