Creator identity, reputation, catalogue and release context set to zero. Read as an unknown writer's lyric. The title character is invented on the page; the holiday props are on the page; nothing imported (R17). Lyrics supplied as OCR of screenshots; minor OCR noise. Visceral: -75. Assault played for laughs. Concept: A mock-horror boogeyman tale of a costumed trick-or-treat predator who sexually assaults stragglers, recounted with admiring glee by one of his survivors.

A narrator describes a large man said to stalk people on the holiday, disguised as an old woman, waiting for anyone who wanders off alone; the narrator says he was a victim years earlier and tells his mother he was robbed and sexually violated; the song warns everyone to hide their children, says resistance is useless and praises the assailant's skill; the tone is shock comedy throughout, closing on the hook and the warning refrain. Posture: warns everyone of a holiday predator -> warns everyone to hide their children from the same predator, whose prowess it admires

negative_payload Sexual assault staged as comic spectacle, hook-carried, is the dominant arc; the warning frame is the comic device that delivers it.

R1 does not: no romance language. R2 does not: center far from zero. R3 does not: a single exclamation of the divine is idiom. R4 does not: no heartbreak; the control on the page is assault, not clinging after loss. R5 fires: the narrator is warner and past victim, never the actor, but the warning is a comic frame that praises the assailant and counsels submission; the observer-warning Decent landing is denied and the read goes to the entertainment payload, held weaker than -83 for the absence of first-person endorsement. R6 does not: nothing from off the page entered. R7 scope: not this route. R8 does not: no systemic dysfunction claimed. R9 scope: not this route. R10 scope: not this route. R11 scope: not this route. R12 does not: no era-coded romantic vocabulary. R13 does not: profanity describes acts literally, never aimed as insult; the assault grades through the red tenets. R14 does not: no doctrine. R15 does not: no civic or institutional sanctity. R16 does not: a nameable harm-signal (assault as spectacle) is on the page; the payload route stands. R17 does not: the character and props are developed on the page. R18 does not: no opposition posture. S1 does not: read alone. S2 does not: every authored field is positive description.

Ego: -80. Pervasiveness: pervasive. Red-03: sexual assault staged as comic holiday spectacle across verses and hook. Red-01: victims reduced to body parts that get taken. Red-08: victims' dignity stripped for laughs; the predator is a racialized hypersexual caricature. Red-05 (low): the assailant's domination is admired and listeners told to submit. Transcendence: 0. No blue or violet tenet fires; the victim verse is played for comedy, not exposure.

Red (ego in Corrupted, own list): red-01 fires: explicit sex acts, victims reduced to body parts. red-02 does not: no substance. red-03 fires: assault played as holiday entertainment. red-04 does not: no narrator contempt for a named target. red-05 fires: submission counseled, domination praised. red-06 does not: no revenge. red-07 does not: narrator not self-destructive. red-08 fires: victims and a racial stereotype degraded for laughs. red-09 does not: no exploitation for gain. red-10 does not: the stance is spectacle, not destruction for its own sake. red-11 does not: no numbness. red-12 does not: no nihilism. red-13 does not: no rage engine.

Kept: -83 (explicit sexual content as the whole engine) and -92 (assault delivered as entertainment). Rejected: -65 (stops short of assault); -75 (no roster); -78 (no narrator contempt for a rival); -45 (no intoxication or tally under a sympathetic frame); -48-appraisal (no partner courted as a prize). Weaker than -83 because the narrator stands as warner and victim with no ego-conquest; well short of -92 because there is no rage and no first-person endorsement. Precedents: [-83, -92] Center: -79

Saturation: +1, red tenets saturate verses and hook. Resolution: -1, closes on the warning refrain, no escalation. Register: -1, repetitive, derivative shock-comedy register. Reach: +1, threat aimed at everyone's children.
