Halloween is a time to scare. A time to enjoy sharing frightening stories of either fact or fiction. That's easy for the small town of Falls Creek. The town possesses an ugly history of previously inhabiting a homicidal cannibal, Richard Carling. For seventeen-year-old Cassi Ross, her Halloween night was supposed to be spent babysitting her favorite group of children As the night goes by with strange moments such as mysterious phone calls, scary occurrences, and a masked figure peering through the windows, it is quickly deduced someone is taking Halloween shenanigans' too far. Possible suspects could be any number of teenage pranksters celebrating the memory of a grisly killer, or even Cassi's fellow babysitter, who has an overwhelming love for scary movies, as well as a grudge against her. It all seems to be just fun and games apart of harmless Halloween fun...Until it's discovered there's something rather sinister behind it, where someone deeply invested in Richard Carling's memory wishes Cassi harm...
