A two-story wooden house stands alone in the snowy West Virginia countryside at midnight. A faint glow from Christmas lights flickers through the windows. Inside, a family is seen enjoying the warmth of their home, unaware of the chilling fate awaiting them. Outside, the dark sky looms over the house, and the bare trees cast eerie shadows across the snow-covered yard. In the distance, a figure stands partially obscured in the darkness, watching the house intently.
