OCTOBER by RUST CULT
As dusk falls on Halloween night, the town ov Salem Springs transforms into a vibrant tableau ov ghoulish delight. A crisp chill in the air signals the arrival ov the season, while the dim glow ov flickering orange lights dances through the streets, casting eerie shadows on the asphalt. Children clad in costumes roam from house to house, laughter mingling with the rustling ov fallen autumn leaves beneath their feet. It’s a night ov trick-or-treating, but this Halloween carries a deeper, darker secret.
Involved in the festivities is 16-year-old Mina, a spirited girl with an
affinity for the macabre. She and her friends wander the streets, candy bags in tow, seeking thrills beyond just sugary treats. However, as they approach the infamous Hollow Woods, legends ov a forgotten evil buried deep within its confines echo through their minds. Local folklore tells ov a witch who once resided in the woods, who on Halloween night, lures unsuspecting children and feasts on their fears and their flesh.
As the friends venture deeper into the night, the atmosphere shifts with each step. The wind howls with a ghostly whisper, jack-o’-lanterns flicker to life on the ground, illuminating the path ahead only to extinguish as they draw closer. Shadows stretch and twist unnaturally, as if alive. Mina, leads her friends further into the woods, where they stumble upon an ancient altar veiled by thickets and covered in fresh blood.
Suddenly, the air chills, and a dark apparition emerges, cloaked in shadows—the witch herself. The group is quickly ensnared in a web ov fear, the woods transforming into a nightmarish labyrinth where each exit leads deeper into the witch's realm. As the children from the town are gradually pulled into her haunting nightmare, Mina realizes she must confront the witch to break her curse. Witness, as the veil between reality and folklore blurs
With a heart-stopping climax set against a backdrop ov swirling leaves and flickering lights, "OCTOBER" culminates in a battle that will determine not just their fate, but the very essence ov Halloween itself. Will Mina and her friends escape the clutches of the witch, or will Salem Springs find itself forever shrouded in darkness? Brave the woods if you dare, and remember: some secrets are best left buried.
