A bitter autumn wind sliced through the suburban stillness, carrying with it the ghost of a nightmare eleven years cold. Eleven years since Woodsboro bled. Billy Loomis lingered in the shadows of a life rebuilt from ashes, a specter haunted by two years that passed in a numb, grey blur. He straightened the collar of his shirt, the fabric a faint pressure against the old, buried weight in his chest. A sudden, sharp knock fractured the silence. He opened the door, the hallway light falling across a young woman standing on his step, her expression fierce with curiosity, holding a box of muffins like a gift for a wolf.
