Spread popcorn into a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the ¼ teaspoon salt over the popcorn. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the butter, brown sugar and salt to a boil. Boil for exactly 5 minutes without stirring. At the 4 minute mark, carefully stir in the vanilla (it may splatter). After 5 minutes, stir in the baking soda.
Immediately pour ¾ of the caramel over the popcorn.
Stir to coat.
Sprinkle the pretzels, candy corn, and Reese’s pieces on top. Drizzle the remaining caramel, then stir to coat. Transfer to the refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes.
