Let me see what I remember. These won't be in any order, and these will have spoilers.
1) The Haunted Mask
Self-explanatory.
2) Let's Get Invisible
The ending for me was more horrific than the rest of the episode. It's the whole "implied" ending, that Noah's gone and his mirrored self is in his place.
3) The Cuckoo Clock of Doom
Much like with #2, it's the whole ending and what they openly state; that Michael screwed up with the natural order of things so badly that he erased Tara's existence...and doesn't seem to mind what he did.
4) Attack of the Jack o' Lanterns
I really don't like this episode, feeling that it was so sub-par compared to the others. But, I will say that the ending was pretty freaky and off-putting to me, even now as an adult.
There's a subplot in the episode about people in a neighboring town disappearing, and it becomes a wraparound, where it's revealed that Drew's friends (Shane and Shana) are aliens who claim to be responsible for them. Before leaving, Drew offers them a share of her candy, but say they don't eat candy--only human flesh. They also tell them to not be worried, because they only eat adults, so they're safe...for now.
5) The Haunted Mask II
I think the whole implication in the final scene is the scariest part; where after the four (Carly Beth, Steve, Chuck, and Sabrina) try to dispose of the masks by burning them, one of their dogs takes the mask Carly Beth tried to get rid of out of the fire place and into the yard when they aren't looking. While trying to bury it, the mask seems like it's trying to fight back--despite it not being Halloween night anymore, supposedly the only night the masks can come to life.
The suggestion ties into something that's made very clear in both of the episodes/books; and it's that you get a "three strike" system with the masks, and once you put them on three times--they won't come off, not even with the whole "symbol of love" thing. Seeing as how the mask stalked Carly Beth throughout the course of this one, it only makes sense that Carly Beth's life is now in constant danger--and it's very likely that nothing can save her at this point, not even her friends or the shop keeper.
