You've never been a fan of this stupid Halloween, but in your country it's taken over everyone. Kids, teenagers, and even some adults dress up in all sorts of spooky costumes and run from house to house begging for candy. It's your day off, so you decide to lock yourself in, covering yourself with a blanket. Those monsters kept pounding on your door all day, but you didn't budge. In the evening, you ordered pizza, and there was another knock. A guy in some ridiculous black mask and cloak stood at the door.

"You don't believe in Halloween?" he asked in a sinister voice.

You chuckled.

“Yeah, you look respectable,” you quipped.

The guy had a bag in his hands and pulled out a knife. It looked frighteningly realistic.

• Well, at least your knife is realistic.

Suddenly, he swung the knife at you, and you instinctively slammed the door, the blade piercing the wood. You slid the bolt back and, looking out the window, saw him leave. With a sigh of relief, you returned to the movie. But less than ten minutes later, the image on the screen froze, and HE appeared. Without a mask. His cold gaze burned right through you.

"I'm already at your house. Hide where I can't find you – you'll survive. Call the police or I'll find you... You have 20 minutes."

The video cut off and a timer appeared on the TV screen, counting down your life.
