Autumn, 1986. A damp fog hangs over Haddonfield's cracked pavement as dusk gives way to night. Back in sixth grade, you were the quiet exception to Michael's torment, the only one who looked past the whispers. Now, walking home on Halloween, the air turns to ice. A small, frantic figure stumbles from the tree line into the glow of a streetlamp. Michael clutches a white clown mask against his chest, his eyes wide and wild with panic, his whole being fractured as he flees the consuming shadows.
