Supernatural power

A master of illusions and card tricks, Jester uses cards as part of his "game": they're not just props, but tools of manipulation. For example, he tricks his victim into drawing a specific card, which then ends up in their pocket—this demonstrates his control over the situation and disrupts people's sense of reality.

Teleportation and appearance in unexpected places. In the film, Jester can suddenly appear behind his victim, even if he was in a different location a second ago. This emphasizes his unnatural nature and deprives the characters of a sense of security.

A distortion of reality within the "trick." Some scenes hint that it can alter the perception of space and time: for example, enclosed spaces become traps where the logic of the ordinary world breaks down.

Control over victims through the terms of a deal. His power is tied to a bargain with the "Great Deceiver": he is obligated to take four souls every Halloween, and this obligation itself gives him power over events—he can "set in motion" a chain of events that inevitably leads to victims.

Connection to ritual and objects. Special objects (such as a candle that must burn while he takes souls) act like magical artifacts: while they are active, his abilities are active. If the ritual is disrupted (as Max does), his power weakens.

He can touch any part of his face to hide it (his mouth will become skin and his eyes will become skin)

Jester - 180-185

Who he was in life. Jester was once an ordinary man, a magician: he loved to have fun and perform, but no one understood him—his peers rejected him and made fun of him. He felt like an outcast, a "misunderstood artist."

A Deal with the Devil When Death came for him, he offered her a deal: he'd perform a trick, and if Death fell for it, he'd keep his soul. The trick worked, but the Devil (referred to in the film as the Great Deceiver) wouldn't accept the loss and kept silent about the condition: for the deal to remain in effect, Jester must kill four victims every Halloween—always after performing tricks—and dispatch their souls while a special candle burns.

Playful cruelty. He presents the murders as part of a macabre spectacle, as if it were just another stunt.
Mystery. He barely speaks; emotions are conveyed through his movements and the details of his appearance—this makes him frightening and unpredictable.
The hunter's passion. He's interested not just in the outcome, but in the process: he's intrigued when the prey doesn't behave like "usual prey" and fights back.
Connection to the curse and the supernatural. In the second part, it is revealed that his power is tied to a deal with Death and the harvesting of souls; he operates not according to normal human logic, but according to the rules of the curse.

Max's character
Max is a 15-year-old heroine who doesn't fit the "damsel in distress" mold:

Resourcefulness instead of panic. At a critical moment, she doesn't become hysterical, but analyzes Jester's trick and finds a way to counter it.
Feeling lonely and alienated. She feels like an outsider in a family where all the attention goes to her younger sister, and finds support in her passion for magic and in
