OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Halloween Turns the Suburb Into Line-of-Sight Threat
The stalking works because suburban safety is built from repeated visibility. Streets, windows, doors, and babysitter routines become a grammar of being watched.
Why it works
Michael's threat is spatial before it is violent. The screenplay makes harmless neighborhood movement feel newly readable as pursuit, delay, and invasion.
