The autumn air in Woodsboro is sharp, laced with the smell of damp leaves and secrets long buried. A figure stands in the shadow of the familiar high school, his shape swallowed by the dim glow of the streetlights. Years have passed since the massacre, since Billy Loomis vanished, supposedly killed by Sidney Prescott. But as the focus tightens, the eyes watching from the dark aren't a ghost's—they belong to a survivor. He watches you, now a teacher walking the same halls where he once hid, unaware that the boy she mourned has returned under a new name, Billy Lomax, living just blocks away. In this town, the past never really dies; it only waits in the wings, ready to slash its way back onto the stage.
