The music reminded me of the old Charlie Brown cartoons. The rampage was hilarious, very creative. (I especially loved the frog poison). Excellent work.
You might want to list the navigation tools in the animation itself. The music is very appropriate for the animation. There's a skip in the rainfall loop that you could probably adjust without too much work. Nice. Not "Wow that's amazing woot w007, !!11eleventy-one" nice, but nice.
What did you use for the voice synthesizer, a Commodore Vic-20? No, even the Vic-20 had better sound than this pile of pants. It's hard to believe anyone put that much effort into creating a flash version of whining, to be honest.
...since I laughed that hard. You captured the show well and the Weird Al soundtrack was so incongruous, but somehow it worked perfectly. That was simply excellent. You're my new hero.
The voice acting needs work. You've got to put some emotion into it. Seeing his mom decapitated with her eyes gouged out, the kid says "oh no" with about as much conviction as if he'd accidentally glued a single bit of glitter to an otherwise pristine popsicle stick that he was about to throw away. Ok, that's a stupid metaphor, but you get the picture.
And the KoolAid guy just doesn't do the trick; it's neither surprising nor funny in this context.
The "pumpkin getting revenge by carving up a human" idea has potential, although it's not much of a suprise, so you can't really rely on it as a gimick. Work on the execution of the concept instead. I'll look forward to seeing the revised version, maybe next halloween.
Some of the "testimonials" were washed out by the squeeling and hard to hear, so you'll want to work on cleaning up the sound levels a bit. Hilarious idea; throw handicapped kids into a pig sty "for their health". Really very sick and disturbed. I liked some of the "subtle" background touches. Poop humor: you really can't go wrong.
Those who are saying it's boring or too easy maybe aren't getting the joke. It's not intended to be difficult, I think. Playing it is like walking through an old Warner Bro's cartoon and smacking the toons with big metal weapons.
The title "The Invisible Evil" makes the viewer expect something weird, violent or spooky to happen, but it turns out that prejudice, fear and neglect are the "evils" and they remain invisible as long as we consider them normal. Excellent moral.
Technically, I really liked the voice tallent, and the old school anime style and the "hokey" music (e.g. the "whah-whah-whah" when the boy falls down) served as excellent counterpoints to the seriousness of the story. You might want to slow down some of your subtitles just a bit. Otherwise, outstanding. Thank you for making this. Please make more like this.
This video inspired me to finally join NG just to thank you.

That was weak

Hilarious
The controls were a bit off, you get stuck to objects too easily. Otherwise, fantastic.
