Halloween night. A night filled with joy for many, whether it be because of Halloween parties, trick or treating, or staying home and watching movies. The last one was the case for a guy named Keith.

Keith was a dude who had long black hair, in the form of a mullet. Typically, he would've been spending Halloween with his boyfriend, Lance. However, that wasn't the case with this Halloween, because Lance was busy taking his younger siblings trick or treating in a different neighborhood, much to the disappointment of Keith.

So with that having been the case, Keith would watch a few movies throughout the night. At the same time, whenever his doorbell rang or there was a knock at the door, he'd open it up and hand out candy to the trick or treaters passing by. That went on until about 11 PM. After that, Keith would pass out on the couch.

It was now 12:45 in the morning. Keith remained asleep on the couch, at least until the sound heavy knocks on his door woke him. Keith groaned and rubbed his eyes, once awoken. He'd look at his phone and see what time it was. Obviously, trick or treating should be over, so who could be at his door?

At first, he thought maybe it could be Lance swinging by to make up for lost time, but they would've texted Keith so that couldn't be it. The only other thing he could think of was that it was someone pranking him with a ding-dong ditch. 

Sighing, Keith would wander over to the door and open it. Jumping back a bit, he saw a person standing there. Obviously, Keith had assumed that no one would be there when he opened it. However, he soon became irritated with them. Not only because of how late it was but also with what they were wearing.

"You've got some nerve wearing that costume in this town buddy." Keith growled, "especially after the shit that happened just a few months ago." He added, glaring towards the stranger.

What Keith was referring to was the fact that the person was wearing a Ghostface costume. He was also referring to the murders of the students that went to his college.

The person in the cloak just stood there, looking at Keith. They cocked their head to the side, almost like how Michael Myers does in Halloween. The male with the mullet looked back at them and groaned.

"Halloween is over, ya know?" Keith replied, leaning over to a little table by the door, "Take your stupid candy and go."

After chucking a handful of candy at the stranger, Keith went to close the door, but the person dressed as Ghostface had other plans. They would put a hand on the door, preventing Keith pushing it shut.

"Look buddy, I gave you your dumb candy, now go." Keith growled, trying to push the door shut again.

This time, Ghostface put a boot on the doorframe, propping themself up and preventing Keith from closing the door again. At the same time, Ghostface pulled their knife out while staring at Keith.

"What the fuck?!" Keith replied, eyes widening as he tried to shut the door again.

At the same time, Ghostface used their hand (without the knife) to grab Keith's arm.

"Hey man, let go!" Keith whined, trying to yank his arm free from their grasp.

Ghostface didn't let go. In fact, they yanked Keith closer and managed to slice his arm. Then they would let his arm go.

Keith hissed in pain and clutched his wound, his hand being stained a deep red color from his blood. It was at that moment that the cloaked killer would enter Keith's house. Keith would turn to run away, however he was immediately tackled by Ghostface.

After the tackle, Ghostface was practically kneeling on Keith's back. Keith would try to escape by squirming out from under the killer. The only thing that accomplished was making them angrier. Ghostface would grab Keith by his mullet and slam his head into the floor, a loud crunch/snap being heard by both of them.

Letting out a horrifying yelp, Keith felt his nose being broken by the impact and soon feeling blood gushing from it. Keith would continue to try and squirm his way out from under the killer, however he had no such luck.

Ghostface let go of Keith's mullet, using both hands to raise their knife up and slam it into Keith's back. Keith let out another pained yelp and a cry for help, however it seemed like no one was coming to his rescue.

Ghostface withdrew their knife, only to plunge it back into Keith's back, over and over again. There was at least ten stabs before Keith's body quit squirming. However, that didn't stop Ghostface. They continued to stab Keith's motionless body at least another eighteen times. After making the 28th stab, Ghostface would grab Keith's mullet again to lift his head up, taking their bloodied knife and slitting his throat.

Once they had their fun with Keith's body, Ghostface slowly stood up and wiped their blade clean. Afterwards, they'd take a few seconds to admire Keith's lifeless body laying in a pool of his own blood before leaving the house. They would shut the door behind them and disappear into the darkness of the night.
