A work in progress
Buzzed with excitement residents prepared for a night filled with thrills and chills.
The streets buzzed with energy as children darted from house to house, their joyful shouts echoing through the air, creating a lively symphony of laughter and excitement.
A foreboding and sinister presence lingers in the atmosphere, seeping through the cracked and weathered walls of the old Myers house. The air is thick with an unsettling energy, as though the very structure is alive, holding onto the countless tragedies and secrets that have transpired within its shadowy confines. Faint echoes of long-forgotten whispers seem to reverberate through the decaying rooms, drawing a shroud of unease around anyone who dares to approach. The house, draped in an oppressive silence, stands as a haunting reminder of the darkness that dwells beyond its threshold.
The air was crisp and carried a chill that made the skin tingle, sending shivers down one's spine. Each year on Halloween, as the leaves danced in the breeze, the townsfolk of Haddonfield would feel a familiar unease when they passed the looming shadow of the old Myers house. Its weather-worn façade and darkened windows seemed to whisper forgotten secrets, reminding everyone of the fateful night when Michael Myers was committed to Haddonfield's asylum, forever etching his name into the town's haunting story.
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
