So the one thing that hurts Sam for me is that final segment of Trick r' Treat that reveals Sam's face as a weird demon thing and has him directly attacking someone.

For me, what makes Sam work is his mystery. He's sort of like The Watchers in Marvel, only he exclusively watches tragedies taking place on Halloween, and it's never quite clear what hand, if any, he had in how the events played out. Making him a simple, angry demon thing really hurt the character.

I will say I don't really like the demon face thing that much either, but I feel Sam attacking someone directly isn't totally out of character. He even kills some some totally innocent woman at the very beginning for tearing down Halloween decorations early. He just has a twisted sense of the rules & justice and the horrifying things he witnesses fulfills that sense for him. Just the way I see it anyway.
