Why this is the answer (spoilers)

The October 31 Burst Flight uses six Halloween-themed tables. It leads the individual horror-film box-office table, while The Shawshank Redemption has the highest stored IMDb rating among the accepted Stephen King adaptations. Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees share the leading slasher count of twelve films. For Tim Burton titles, Big Fish leads at 7.9, with Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood tied at 7.8.

The candy round rewards greater Halloween sales: M&M's is displayed at number one, ahead of Sour Patch Kids and Skittles. A smaller displayed sales-rank number therefore represents a better position. The final round compares entire horror franchises, led by The Conjuring Universe, Alien, and Resident Evil in that order. These figures describe the archived game's tables, including its box-office snapshot and projected candy-sales ranking; they are not live ratings or sales totals. Read the measure before choosing a familiar name, and distinguish a single film's revenue from a franchise total.
