Inspired by true events, these three true Halloween horror stories are unspeakable. A stalker's mirrored face, a silent house at the end of the street, and a knock at the door that was never meant to be answered.
What happens when the masks don't come off? When a child's game of trick-or-treat ends in a silent, bottomless mystery? This collection of terrifyingly plausible Halloween horror stories, inspired by real events, explores the darkness that thrives on the most festive of nights. Each narrative is a chilling reminder that the greatest psychological horror often begins with something ordinary.
In our first tale, a group of friends trick-or-treating notice a strange, silent figure in a shiny costume. As they move through the neighborhood, the figure impossibly reappears ahead of them again and again, turning their night of fun into a desperate, silent walk of dread as they realize they are being stalked by someone whose silent, impossible movements defy all logic.
Next, the cheerful noise of a Halloween party is broken by a single, chilling realization. A parent's gaze falls upon the one dark, quiet house on the block, and in an instant, a festive night curdles into one of frantic, primal fear, beginning a mystery that will leave a permanent, silent scar on the entire community.
Finally, a man enjoying a quiet Halloween night is disturbed by a persistent teenager in a Dracula costume who keeps knocking on his door. What begins as an annoying prank slowly escalates into a terrifying ordeal of psychological torment, as he discovers his home has been silently invaded and he is not alone.
