comment
The Last Halloween is a comedy-horror webcomic by Abby Howard of Strip Search fame. On Halloween, the world is being overrun by monsters, and it is, unfortunately, up to a reluctant young girl named Mona (and her undead "friends") to save the world. It's very funny and also very gory.

Plot-Triggering Death
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_13e1c444
comment
Plot-Triggering Death: The events of the story are triggered by the death of The Phagocyte, the entity that kept balance between the human and monster worlds. It appears, however, that the Phagocyte didn't die in the fire and was merely incapacitated. Whether or not he'll survive in his weakened state is still up in the air. He is deliberately being kept alive by The Gods and J.D., the latter of which intends to finish the job as soon as his son is properly groomed to inherit the job. What remains to be seen now is whether the Phagocyte may recover before the time comes.

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Abby Howard actually has a background in Biology and Paleontology (which is where her journal comic "Junior Scientist Power Hour" gets its name), and has extensive knowledge of animal anatomies, but she allows herself certain liberties with her monster designs due to their supernatural nature. Susannah's head, for example, appears to be just a skull, with no skin or muscle over it, and therefore no visible means to open and close her jaw.

Hero's Journey: Referenced by Doctor Fugue while trying to persuade Mona to save the world. Actually follows the formula pretty well, including the Supernatural Aid (the scythe), Can't Refuse the Call Anymore (Mona getting swallowed up by the monster in Ringley's castle), and the "Night Sea Voyage" (the Shadow World). There's even a refusal by the protagonist to return to (what's left of) the normal world. Of course, it's all subverted by the fact that the Journey itself turned into a Shoot the Shaggy Dog plot.

comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Mona, who has watched so many action and horror movies that her first impulse after realizing that the police can't help is to call Kurt Russell. Humanity as a whole also qualifies: apparently a ghoul invasion was successfully thwarted by a single man in the past, due in large part to humanity's familiarity with horror tropes. Unfortunately, the scale of the current problem is no mere local zombie invasion, but a monster invasion on a global scale, leaving humans virtually defenseless.

Noodle Incident: Played with. Something happened the last time that Ringley took his vampire dad's flying car, and Ringley treats it like something everyone should know about without explanation. However, no one else knows about it in-universe, so it's just as much of a Noodle Incident for the other characters.

Break the Cutie
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: Mona might have a kind of gruff personality and some Creepy Child tendencies, but at the end of the day, she's a normal (if precocious) human ten year old who goes through some awful things. While they're played for humor, it's made very clear that she doesn't come out without serious damage being done. The long term damage Mona suffered becomes very apparent in this strip where three figures that are clearly an older version of Mona, her monster, and Ringley are watching Libby, Chips, and Malcom from the shadows and discussing whether or not to help them. Mona in particular acts very cold and pragmatic during the conversation without so much as a hint of the girl she used to be present.

Immortality Inducer
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_50385f24
comment
Immortality Inducer: All monsters are bound to a particular human, and all monsters die when their humans die... with one exception: if a monster kills "their" human, they become immortal. This is why Mona's monster is protecting her for the time being- if she dies by any other means, it will die as well. Though given more recent developments this particular monster doesn't seem interested in killing Mona meaning it's either not willing to become immortal but not ready to die, or it's not HER monster.

Body Horror
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_504a1991
comment
Body Horror: A major, recurring motif. A man's head opens in an early television broadcast to reveal that he is a hive of massive flesh wasps. Serious, disturbingly realistic looking burns are depicted repeatedly on the body of the severely injured Phagocyte. An early monster is at least two creatures sewn together. A later chapter allows the creature to explain itself, where it tells a doctor that it is not a monster, but a god who may represent body horror as a concept. A monster graphically cut apart by Mona is still alive due to its being immortal. It strives to put itself back together, finally succeeding.

Dark Is Not Evil
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_575fd5e2
comment
Dark Is Not Evil: A bit of a complicated example. The Undead play this trope straight, and very few of them are outright evil. JD is a Well-Intentioned Extremist and the Ghouls were initially created by Baal for a genocidal uprising, but most of the Undead are just wanting to live normal lives. The Monsters zig-zag the trope. As a group, they're Mostly Chaotic Evil, but a rare handful of them are good or neutral. Even in those cases, though, they may be inclined to cause suffering in the long run.

Fantastic Racism: The behavior of the Phagocyte toward the Undead, although it at times extends beyond Fantastic Racism. His kangaroo courts, forced disappearances, and apparent genocidal tendencies definitely fall into the category of Van Helsing Hate Crimes.

The Good, the Bad, and the Evil
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_6b8b122b
comment
The Good, the Bad, and the Evil: Very difficult to pin down on the morality spectrum, and varies with perspective, perhaps even straying into Blue-and-Orange Morality. The story deals with the interaction between three races: humans, monsters and the undead. Humans, as a whole, are completely innocent, and have done nothing wrong to the other two races; the only morally ambiguous human in the story is the Phagocyte, who is charged with humanity's protection but takes it too far with regards to the undead. The monsters lean heavily towards evil: once the Phagocyte is wounded, they proceed to slaughter humans in droves. This is very slightly complicated by the fact that every monster is otherwise destined to die along with its human (as well as the existence of a few "good" monsters), but even discounting the fact that this uncertainty of death is hardly worse than what humans have to live with, most (if not all) of the invading monsters went on killing sprees, not just stopping at their own human. The undead are more ambiguous and seem to run the moral gamut, but are also seen as an oppressed minority, living under constant fear of the Phagocyte.

Zombie Advocate: A rare example of Zombie Self-Advocates. JD and Shirley are both Undead who believe rather strongly that they are being oppressed by the Phagocyte, and not without good reason, the fact that Shirley is largely an online activist and JD is a Well-Intentioned Extremist notwithstanding.

Big Bad: J.D. and Dogman. They crippled the Phagocyte, allowing billions of monsters to leave the Shadow Realm and slaughter humanity. Neither appears to be completely evil, but merely a Well-Intentioned Extremist, with J.D. trying to make life better for the undead and Dogman doing the same for monsters.

Greater-Scope Villain: Tick Tock, for a given value of "villain". The end of book one shows that he could have stopped J.D. from taking out the Phagocyte (whom he serves), and thus prevented the genocide that ensued, but didn't. He also seems to be in charge of the other Gods.

Only Known by Their Nickname: Possibly Banjo, Ringley's "pet" were-opossum who is seen waking up outside Fugue's house butt-naked in his human form in the morning of All Hallow's Day, thinking the events of the previous night were just a dream. Knowing Ringley, he's probably never even bothered to find out Banjo's real name.

Adults Are Useless: Subverted. Both Parent and Dr. Fugue initially seem incompetent, but it quickly becomes clear that Parent is significantly more capable than would seem to be the case when it comes to protecting Mona, and Fugue's decision to send Mona to retrieve the Phagocyte's heir is always portrayed as his chief point of stupidity. Mostly by Mona.

Oh, Crap!: Mona's response to finally realizing that Ringley, Shirley, Robert, and Banjo aren't actually humans in costume is...surprisingly realistic for a ten year old who realizes that she's surrounded by the Undead. Subverted, however, in that they're not particularly dangerous to her.

Shout-Out: The corpse being exhumed in Chapter 1 is Jeffrey Combes. The oblivious trick or treater Mona meets is dressed as Rose Lalonde from Homestuck. The concerned young man at his desk being watched by a skeleton during Fugue's exposition about the realm of monsters bear a striking resemblance to Wadsworth and Young Maddie. Another of Fugue's slides depicts a woman writhing on a bed while a "night-mare" observes from the shadows. Charon wears a Fast Hedgehog shirt.

comment
Orwellian Retcon: Several strips have had their dialogue edited since their initial posting to remove some Early-Installment Weirdness. For example, the dialogue between Mona and Parent was altered to make Parent seem less like a Creepy Crossdresser. Also when Mona called herself a ghoul, Shirley initially had a speech about how "played out" calling oneself a ghoul had become, but has since been changed after Abby decided to make Shirley the only ghoul left in the world. Readers who began with the comic's launch may want to reread from the beginning as a refresher.

Our Monsters Are Weird
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_d42fb539
comment
Our Monsters Are Weird: All monsters are tied to a respective human. They are born at the same time as their human, and they become the physical representations of the human's greatest fear. They also become immortal if they kill the human they're tied to, but die if their human dies by any other means.

 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_d71d51fd
comment
The End of the World as We Know It: With the Phagocyte dead, every monster has taken the opportunity to emerge into the human world. The result is, at the minimum, a major blow to human civilization, if not the end of humankind.

 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_d959f4db
comment
Immortality Seeker: Almost every monster qualifies. See Immortality Inducer above. A rare few monsters only want to coexist with their humans: the story has only shown two, and one of them eventually chose to kill his human (with said human's permission) rather than let him die of natural causes.

An early monster is at least two creatures sewn together. A later chapter allows the creature to explain itself, where it tells a doctor that it is not a monster, but a god who may represent body horror as a concept.

Light Is Not Good: While he mostly protected humanity from Monsters, the Phagocyte was also a Fantastic Racist against the Undead, a fact that apparently sparked the conflict depicted in the story.

Who Wants to Live Forever?
 The Last Halloween (Webcomic) / int_ea39d156
comment
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Robert. In general, the implications of immortality in this series are treated pretty negatively. Most characters who want to be immortal aren't yet or have been only for a relatively short time. Those who seek and attain immortality are at best torn on how they feel about it, and at worst actively seek to die.

comment
Creepy Child: Shirley looks like this, but she's actually a pretty normal person (albeit an adult stuck in a child's decaying body). Ringley fits the trope more through naivety combined with supernatural powers than through being intentionally dangerous, while Mona hits a few points by being forced into Troubling Unchildlike Behavior, including killing a monster, butchering and threatening an immortal monster, riding a dead goat monster, and carrying a sentient bone scythe.
