His comment about going last Halloween as a "monster" makes it pretty clear that this is at minimum a Halloween ritual for him.
I think that's sort of a giant leap to take. We've seen him do this once, and we don't even know why he does it.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

I'm betting it was not the first time. Yeah my guess as to how often and why is pure speculation - though I think this kind of speculation is part of the fun. But he has done this before, whatever the reason turns out to be.

I don't know that it's this, exactly. I kind of expect not. But the remark about being a monster last year was extremely pointed. Dude's got something dark going on.

How long have they been married? Do we know?
Is he a warlock?

The monster comment was definitely a clue to something. Not sure he practices witchcraft, though -- so far even the most "monstrous" men in this series don't seem to have their own mojo.

I think it's unlikely that someone who hasn't killed before would take a handgun with silencer to a first-time internet hookup and blow her away without so much as flinching.

Right, but that's also why I don't think he's a *serial* killer in the usual sense. He's more like a hitman. I don't think (yet) there's any reason to believe this is a ritual he carries out every Halloween.
Maybe he's doing something really weird, like harvesting the girl's eggs or something.

In this world, I'll bet the killing has to do with some sort of magic, even if he is not casting the spells himself. Maybe he'll turn out just to be a hitman, but I'm guessing spell connected murder. Maybe ingredients for a spell? And I'll bet there is a reason he has killed two Halloweens in a row. There is really strong reason to think he killed last Halloween. Not 100%, but at least 50/50.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was mostly disappointed when he pulled the gun after she set him up with a perfect line about breaking her heart. I was waiting for, "No, I'm going to break your neck."
Anyway, like I said: All the men are monsters.

Spaulding definitely stepped up to the plate in that regard this week.
