A Halloween Stalker [0:09]
The narrator, as a 10-year-old, loved Halloween and was decorating his house with his dad and friends, James and Kurles. A strange man stopped in front of their house, complimenting their decorations but asking odd questions about their trick-or-treating route. The narrator's dad intervened, sensing something was off, and the man left with an angry look. Later that night, the narrator saw the same man in their yard, staring at the house. On Halloween night, while trick-or-treating far from home, the man reappeared and tried to lure them with candy. James recognized the danger, and they ran. The man chased the narrator until his dad appeared and scared him away. The dad had been searching for them after they took longer than expected.
Pumpkin Patch Robbery [7:09]
Mark, a 17-year-old, met Jake at a neighbor's Halloween gathering. Jake seemed cool, and they bonded over video games. Jake suggested they go to a pumpkin patch, but the farm was deserted and eerie. The farmer's behavior and questions made Mark uneasy, and he rushed to leave. Later, Mark invited Jake to a party at his house. A masked man with a gun robbed the party, and Mark noticed Jake seemed calm during the robbery. The police discovered Jake and the robber were working together, planning the robbery after the trip to the pumpkin patch. The farmer was Jake's uncle, and they had been running scams.
The Chain Woman [14:54]
The narrator recalls visiting his grandparents in rural Ohio and being terrified of a large, strange woman who lived next door, known as the "chain woman" because she always wore heavy chains. She would yell at them and seemed generally menacing. One Halloween, the narrator and his cousins dared to trick-or-treat at her house, and she answered the door holding what appeared to be a severed head. Months later, the narrator's aunt was attacked by the chain woman, who attempted to strangle her with a rope saw. The police investigated and discovered a network of tunnels under her property, leading to a shrine containing severed heads of missing people. The Halloween head was one of her victims.
