He screeches a high-pitch squeal unlike anything heard before and it is so effective in raising the scare factor.

Sam's mask gets ripped off and his unsettling appearance is revealed in full for the first time. Sam is nowhere to be found until the camera pans up and shows him crawling on the roof until he descends onto the old man. Kreeg runs back upstairs to try and shoot him with his shotgun. Once Kreeg starts trying to get up on his feet, his hands get cut by candy made of glass that's all over the floor, which magically appeared, and Sam is now at the top of the stairs, laughing at him. Once he manages to get up he runs off, but ends up falling down the stairs. This obviously makes it hard for the victim to walk and Sam slowly creeps towards him. Like when he attacks Old Man Kreeg, he starts by stabbing him in the Achilles tendon. Sam's attacks against his victims are vicious and he doesn't pull any punches.

While doing very little, Sam can terrify his victims and the audience alike, while not even being on-screen.

This imagery is so eerie and is one of the scariest sequences in any horror movie of recent memory.
Kreeg discovers a jack-o-lantern that's lit on fire with the words to the trick or treat nursery rhyme written on the wall in blood. Sam does something just as creepy just a little while later in Kreeg's bedroom. The most effective and terrifying moments of Sam's reveal are in the sequence with Old Man Kreeg ( Brian Cox).
You don't even see Sam in his costume for the first few scenes, which creates a lot of tension right at the beginning. Throughout most of the film you don't know what Sam actually looks like under the mask, which gives him such a creepy aura. He's not exactly human, but he doesn't look like an animal either, which creates a confusion and creep factor when Sam's true nature is finally revealed in the third act. Once he's unmasked though, he's revealed to be some kind of humanoid pumpkin creature. Which also makes his design fresh and that isn't the easiest thing to achieve in the horror genre. He has this sack head mask and an orange onesie that gives him a creepy and innocent look that's perfectly balanced. He's truly unique in a genre filled with so many other masked killers. Sam's overall design is so fantastic while also being well-thought-out and put together.
