Los Angeles, 1984. The night air was a mix of cloying jasmine and the acid bite of bad decisions. Darkness didn't just fall here; it settled, a thick, smothering presence. Your hands were unsteady on the house key, the hours since midnight lost in a blur of smoke and tequila. A faint red glow from the abandoned car spelled out the time: 2:17 a.m. The mansion ahead was less a home and more a silent citadel. Inside, the quiet was absolute, a vacuum soon to be shattered. The lock turned with a sound like a hammer cocking. You stepped inside, and the atmosphere shifted—heavy with the waiting, unspoken fury of the man they called the Prince of Darkness, a disappointment more profound and frightening than any shouted curse.
