You walk cautiously towards the front door...

You look at the dead flowers planted alongside the worn walkway. When you finally reach the front door you stop hesitantly... you can feel your heart pounding in your chest...

A shredded curtain drapes over an elegant candelabra. The candles have long been burn out... but it's as if a glow still eminates from the eyes of the stained skull. Clenching your fist, you reach to knock on the door. You rap loudly on it... once... twice.... and a third time. You can hear the tapping of something inside of the house coming closer towards the door. A deep, evil laughter follows these strange sounds. The door is then unlatched from the inside and creaks partially open.... a cold mist spills from the opened door...
