Cool or sick?

Neither. Just not very good, nor really fitting for the theme of
Halloween. Halloween is about ghosts, ghouls, witches on brooms,
spiders, and weird icky creatures. It's not really steeped in reality,
but in a visceral sense of what we dread.

His example is steeped in reality (in the sense that we really do fly on
airplanes, but don't fly on brooms). This removes it from the ghostly
sense of Halloween - it's like breaking the fourth wall in the theater.

Consider the difference between setting up a ghoulish multple
axe-murderer scene, and setting up an ordinary crime scene where a
murder took place. Although both are =possible= in real life, the
latter one, being more commonplace, is more "steeped in reality" (and
thus less viscerally fearful), and the former one, although things like
that have happened, is so far "out there" that it reaches for the
visceral sense of horror.

Now, if he had a few witches on brooms crashed into trees, being pursued
by a ghost in a C-172, which also crashed into a tree, that would work.
