The Pail

1988. Halloween. Danny Pearson, struggling with the tormenting horrors he witnessed as a young boy and the psychological impact of that terrible night 5 years prior, has worked tirelessly to vanquish the fears that have plagued him since. Sitting in his room in the town of Oak Hollow, staring out at the bustling groups of trick-or-treaters, the decorated homes, the cheap scares, his urge to immerse himself physically is embraced. Knocking on doors, filling his pillow case with sweets, navigating fears, the night turns sour as three of the towns worst people show their faces. Pursued by his demons and an unrelenting squad of high school punks, they run into a nightmare they'll never forget on this Halloween night.
