Lights flash and music blares as the annual high school Halloween takes place in the house of one of the most popular boys at Elm High. "Hey Josh, sick party am I right? Can't wait for you to bring out the good stuff!" Shouts one stoned kid, stumbling and attempting to talk with the much more respected senior. "Fuck off kiddo, you don't have the balls to keep up with me." Snarls Josh, quarterback of Elm High's football team and all around respected partyer. He shoves past the kid, sauntering up to a group of cheerleaders, immediately stirring up giggles and flirting. "Hey Josh, where's the weed? I heard you had a stash up in your bedroom!" winks one of the prettier girls, rubbing against him and getting what should have been uncomfortably close, but Josh was lapping it up. "Of course babe! Why don't we go check it out, just the two of us." He whispers, as he kisses her ear and gently leads her by the arm to his bedroom and away from prying eyes.
However unbeknownst to any of the drunken partygoers, two well known killers are watching their every action. Freddy is grinning from ear to ear as he watches these all too familiar teens getting their groove going, drinking themselves half to insanity. "Perfect, this is just the place to stir up enough fear to get myself going again…" he smirks, cruel amusement lighting up his face. The Shape however, has a slightly different plan.
Carefully observing the building itself, he notices that the building is quite aged and much of its electrical and other necessities are also quite out of date. Slinking from the shadows, he gracefully begins his well crafted plan; with no stabbing involved.
Weaving in between passed out teenagers in the backyard, he finds a large enough window into the basement that he can fit into before dropping inside silently. Nobody is none the wiser. It takes a few minutes for him to find exactly what he's looking for, but when he does his plan begins to fall into place like a charm.
Taking his bloodied knife, he easily slices open the boiler and several of the gas lines. Predicting what will happen next, he makes a quick getaway, leaving through the same window he entered in.
Back at the party, several teens are already high, smoking several joints as chaos ensues. "Hey man, did ya hear about what happened down the street?" slurs one extremely drunk senior to his neighbor who happens to be knocked out. "I know right! That bitch was a hoe, shoulda come to the party…" he says, unaware that his buddy didn't say anything. "Hey, I also heard that the pervert gas manager down the highway was crushed by his own truck, I swear, karma is a bitch." After this the poor guy falls asleep as well, unaware of the consequences of his actions.
Josh finally emerges from his bedroom, clothes ruffled and a cocky grin on his face. "That was amazing sweetheart, how about you call me after the party and I can hook you up!" he winks as the girl giggles and slaps him gently on the arm, "you know it baby!" The two kiss passionately before being interrupted by a drunken jock crashing into them. Josh snarls at the oblivious guy, angry at his fun being interrupted. "Watch it Sid!Or you'll be the next one being kicked out." Sid grins and slurs in response, "dude, you HAVE to try some of the hard stuff in the basement...Shelly brought it." Josh rolls his eyes but starts for the basement nonetheless. "Come with me darling, I don't want someone like Sid roughing you up." The girl loyally follows Josh as he lights a smoke and heads towards what Sid said contained the good stuff.
The steps creak eerily as the new couple lazily make their way downstairs, unaware of the danger hidden in the murky darkness. "Shit, I told my parents we needed new lighting down here...cheap asses." Josh grumbles as he flicks the light switch on and off. Undeterred, he opens his phone and blindly makes his way towards the other side of the basement.
It only takes one slip up,one mistake to end your life. Josh made the mistake of smoking in an area filled with flammable gas and everything he owns and everything he has explodes in a fiery ball of light.
Nobody survives, except for Michael, watching with cold uncaring eyes as the house burns and collapses in on itself. Taking with it the lives of several teens who had their entire lives left.
