 On Halloween night 1957, Peter Fabiano and his wife Betty are already asleep when they hear a knock on the door. Peter, of course, is annoyed that someone is trick or treating so late, but Peter gets up from his bed, grabs the bowl of candy reserved for trick or treaters and makes his way to the front door.

Unknown to Peter however, the masked person standing on the other end of the door is not looking for a treat- they are looking to murder.
