Halloween is supposed to be creepy and scary, but there's always the element of fantasy to it. We know it isn't real. At least, most of the time. This episode tells the story of the Liske family murders, in which three family members were brutally murdered in their home on Halloween.

The vicious murders of three elderly women frightened an entire town, causing people to sleep at the homes of friends and family. A young and relatively inexperienced detective is placed on the case. When the killer is finally caught, the motive seemed a bit far fetched for the brutality of the killings.
