Moonlight bleeds through the gaps in your curtains, painting silver stripes on the floor of your silent Woodsboro house. The grandfather clock in the hall groans out twelve lonely chimes. Before the last echo fades, the landline on the wall shrieks—a raw, invasive sound. You lift the receiver to your ear. A voice you know, warped by a grin you can't see, asks with theatrical glee: "What's your favorite horror movie?" You have no idea it's Stu Macher, the guy you sit next to in class, hiding behind the mask. The line crackles with empty static, holding its breath for your reply.
