"Bad Candy follows local Halloween stories of both myth and lessons learned in the community of New Salem. With its annual Psychotronic FM Halloween show, re-enactment radio DJs Chilly Billy and Paul weave the tales of the supernatural of years gone by. In this small town it's a grimy ending for most, but will a few good souls survive?"

Radio show hosts Chilly Billy and Paul tell a series of scary stories to their listeners on Halloween night. Several stories feature a supernatural killer clown called Bad Candy, who was magically drawn to life by a young girl named Kyra.

After smashing pumpkins around town, a young bully wanders into a home haunt made to look like a circus tent. Bad Candy captures the boy and transforms him into a small figure that the clown adds to a demented diorama.

Because she unleashed Bad Candy the previous year, Kyra's abusive stepfather forbids her from trick-or-treating with her friends. Locked in her bedroom, Kyra uses her magic sketchpad to draw a fairy and a goblin that come to life. Kyra's stepfather angrily smashes the creatures. Distraught, Kyra draws her dead mother, who then appears as a vengeful ghost to suck out her evil ex-husband's soul.

Mr. Grimsley puts razor blades into treats he passes out to children. Bad Candy possesses Grimsley and forces the old man to mutilate himself with the blades.

A supernatural killer in a devil mask murders drug dealer Charlie in a gas station bathroom.

After her boyfriend Matt dumps her via text, Abbie leaves a costume party when her boss Kyle summons her to work the graveyard shift at a morgue. Abbie gets drunk and high and starts having sex with a male corpse. The corpse comes to life. Additional corpses rise and threateningly surround Abbie.

Marie comes home from a costume party to find Jimmy, a troublemaker she's been dealing with since their school days together, robbing her house. Marie and Jimmy engage in a violent physical confrontation that spills outside. After Marie falls unconscious, Bad Candy appears and dismembers Jimmy.

Dressed as Dracula, rideshare driver Daryl picks up a prostitute as his latest fare. The prostitute agrees to introduce Daryl to her pimp. Daryl's friend Vince, who served with Daryl in the military, joins Daryl at the location. Daryl and Vince kill several of the pimp's criminal associates and capture the rest. The men then take the captives to a forest where they are joined by Scotty and Lenny, two other ex-soldiers also suffering from PTSD. Lenny transforms into a vampiric bat-creature. The other three men throw spears as the former squadmates release the captives to be hunted and killed.

Judy leads a team of television ghost hunters on an investigation of a haunted house where a young boy, Jacob, tragically became trapped and died after setting a fire. Psychic visions reveal that a bully named Paul could have saved Jacob, but he cruelly prevented Jacob from escaping.

The bully responsible for Jacob's death turns out to be radio DJ Paul. A frightening vision causes Paul to become trapped in a burning room similarly to how Jacob died. Chilly Billy flees as the radio station goes up in flames.
