What Happens

It’s Halloween and trick-or-treat time has just ended. A woman goes back inside her house, glad that it’s over. She talks to her best friend on the phone about how hard Halloween is; she had a bad experience in the past. 

Did she remember to shut the door? Wait– is that a pentagram outside on her lawn? Maybe she’d better go outside and investigate– or maybe she shouldn’t.

Commentary

We don’t get much backstory on why she doesn’t like Halloween. I assume someone died, but we don’t get any details. Otherwise, it looks good, but it is very creepy, and even outside in the dark, we can clearly see what’s going on, which is always a plus.
