"Ahhh," he sighed, admiring the hotel's decor. "Death couldn't be any better. I get to spend eternity here, preserved in time, with you, my dear."

"But," you began, "What about Devil's Night?" You knew how important it was to James.

"Darling," he sighed, "I have come to put my past behind me. That chapter of my life, or afterlife rather, is behind me. Since I met you, my world has changed immensely in more ways than one."

"James..."

"There was something missing. A craving that could not be satisfied. I thought the answer was bloodshed, murder. But alas, what was missing all along was love.
