Halloween is a terrible time of year for me.   Six years ago on Halloween night coming back from my Saturday Karaoke gig my car broke down and I was forced to walk about 3 miles to my house.  When I arrived at home I noticed that the front door was wide open but none of the lights were on.  As I ran into the house I began to call out for my wife and children, but no one answered. I tried all the light switches but all the power was off in the house.  I made my way down to the basement feeling my way around the walls until I got to the breaker box and was able to switch the power back on.  I immediately noticed blood on the walls and floor; I ran around the house frantically looking for signs of my family but could find no one.  I picked up the phone to call 911 but it was dead.  I turned to run out of the house when all of a sudden someone grabbed my arm and began wrestling me to the floor  I couldn't see who it was as they had a mask on and I started to feel sharp pains in my side as I was being stabbed repeatedly and began to feel the warmth of the blood gush out.  As a struggled I could feel myself losing consiousness and all I could hear was the horrific sounds of someone screaming
