My current notes on the Earthbound Halloween Hack can be found here:

It's a living document, I'm updating it as I go.

My impression so far is that both Doctor Andonuts, AND Varik, have been possessed by Giygas.

Doctor Andonuts notes he's seen that murderous look in Varik's eyes before, recognizes it, and fears it.

It also seems like Giygas is the narrator for Varik, urging him to kill Andonuts, then laughing at him when he does, a clearly bad ending.

The entire world is very Unreal. Getting your head bit off doesn't automatically kill you. Varik isn't psychic.. until suddenly he can start using psychic powers. Even before we enter Magicant, this world is an illusion.
