Eleven recalls how she escaped from the Upside Down and met Hopper. She asks him if she can dress like a ghost to go trick-or-treating but Hopper tells her that it would be too dangerous. He promises to bring back candy for her and watch a scary movie with Eleven. Hopper heads to investigate the mystery of the rotten pumpkins. Nancy wants to tell to Barb's parents that she is dead, but Steve warns that it would be a problem for her with the government. Dustin and Lucas invite Max to go treat-or-treating with them, Mike and Will who are dressed as the Ghostbusters. Nancy gets drunk at a Halloween party and tells Steve that she does not love him, and Jonathan drives her home. Will has another vision of a monster in the Upside Down. Eleven visits Mike via the Void but fails to contact with him. Dustin finds something strange in his trash bin. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Not quite as strong as the first episode, but still good
The first episode of the 2nd season was great. It expands a bit more on what happened in the first season while still providing some relatable characters and some good drama and suspense. Chapter Two: Trick or Treat, Freak isn't quite as strong as Chapter One: MADMAX, but it's still pretty good.
My only quibbles is that it does drag a bit slow in the pacing and while there is still some character development, there could've been more plot building since nothing else happens.
Everything else is great, however. The new characters, notably Max and Billy, her step brother, are well introduced and the others are still relatable. The music score still compliments the setting very well, the directing is great, and the visual effects continue to amuse particularly the trick or treating scene where Will hallucinates.
The acting is still great. Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour did a good job with each other, Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery (who played Jason the red ranger in the 2017 Power Rangers reboot) did admirable jobs as Max and Billy, Winona Ryder still does a good job as Joyce, and the others including Finn Wolfhard also did a good job.
Overall, not quite as strong as the first episode, but still good.
