Chapter 3 of Halloween: The Game asks you to kill several Special Targets in very specific ways, and one of those tasks is putting Thomas under his own barbell. Pulling off the weight bench execution completes the second challenge of the chapter and hands you a cosmetic reward, but it only works once Thomas is fully stalked.
Quick answer: Find Thomas in the garage on the far north side of the map, raise his Stalk meter to Tier 3 with Killer Sense, then grab him, drag him to the weight bench, and hold the interact button to trigger the barbell Context Execution.
Where to Find Thomas
Thomas is one of three Special Targets in Chapter 3. The map marks each target’s position but does not label them by name, so it is easy to mix them up on a first run. Thomas sits in the garage toward the far north side of the map, right beside the weight bench you need for the kill.
Use your Shape Jump ability to reach the garage quickly. As long as you do not spook him, Thomas stays in the garage for most of the level, which gives you time to line up the execution.
Requirement: Stalk Tier 3
The weight bench execution is locked until Thomas reaches Stalk Tier 3. You cannot force the barbell press before then, so building the meter is the real work of this challenge.
Keep your distance and activate Killer Sense to stalk him. Aim your reticle at the Focus Points that appear, since hitting them raises his Stalk level much faster. Staying unseen the whole time keeps him rooted in the garage.
How to Perform the Weight Bench Kill
After the kill, cut the telephone line on the right side of the garage, then carry Thomas and hide his body before moving on. Doing so keeps the rest of the neighborhood from raising an alarm as you continue.
Reward and How to Confirm It
Completing the barbell execution wraps up the second challenge of Chapter 3. You unlock Thomas’ third outfit for use in multiplayer, along with the Like Father, Like Son Player Title.
| Detail | Value |

If this is not your first playthrough, keep going and finish the rest of the chapter as normal so the progress is saved. Backing out early can leave the unlock unrecorded.
Why the Execution Fails to Trigger
The barbell prompt will not appear if Thomas has not reached Stalk Tier 3, so watch for the HUD confirmation before you close in. Spooking him is the other common problem. If he spots you and leaves the garage, you lose easy access to the weight bench, so stay hidden until the meter is full and you are ready to grab him.
