Moving quietly along the shadowed road, the crisp autumn air biting at his exposed skin, adding edge to his careless pursuit. Homes on either side boasted their eerie Halloween displays, twisted cobwebs hung heavy, sinister glows pulsed faintly in the night, pumpkins showed off grotesque, toothy grins. Tonight, the innocent smiles hid his true quarry.

With savage swings of his bat, he shattered them into a messy explosion of orange pulp and seeds, the sticky remains dripping heavily as they fell. Unaware of what secrets those pumpkins truly held, beneath the rough, knobby surfaces, bewitched fairy creatures waited patiently, shrouded by the deep magic of Halloween night.

They stirred only as the last pumpkin cracked open, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light, prepared to protect their hidden world. A night meant for mischief quickly spiraled into a battle for his skin. Pick up your weapon and dive headfirst into the chaos, you’ll find the darkest parts of the holiday hiding just below the surface. Do you have what it takes to crush their magic without falling prey? Take the first swing and unleash the chaos hidden in plain sight.
