The autumn wind howled through the quiet suburbs, carrying the chill of a decade-old nightmare. Eleven years since Woodsboro. Since the blood spilled on those streets. Billy Loomis stood in the shadows of his new life, a ghost of his former self, haunted by the two years that felt like a blink. He adjusted his collar, the weight of the past pressing against his ribs. A knock echoed through the silence, sharp and intrusive. He opened the door, the light from the hallway spilling out to illuminate a determined young woman, her eyes bright with curiosity, holding a box of muffins like an offering to a demon.
