There was only one rule: don’t open the door.
Now Rachel’s parents were seriously calling to tell her again?
Well she frickin got it!
She understood their fear.
After that one kid disappeared last Halloween, the whole city understood.
Everybody had seen the PSAs: don’t open the door for grownups who you don’t know and trust.
Duh.
It was sad what happened to that poor kid, but come on!
She wasn’t an idiot.
Why would you ever open the door for a stranger?
She didn’t even need to be told.
“I’ll be fine mom. PLEASE STOP. Yes I’ll keep the door locked. No, not even to refill the candy bowl. Yes I PROMISE!!!”
Seriously, toddlers were outside having fun, and her parents had her cooped up in a fortress?
If she ever had kids, she definitely wouldn’t embarrass them like this!
She grumbled and went back to her show.
Later the ring door bell chimed.
She checked the notification:
It was almost immediately followed by a text from her mother: “DO NOT OPEN THAT DOOR!”
“Mom it’s just some kid.”
“I don’t care if it’s a fucking Keebler elf. Door stays shut young lady!!”
She rolled her eyes.
The kid at the door spoke, in the littlest voice ever: “is anybody home? There’s no more candy in your bowl. But my mom said I can only trick or treat for 20 minutes so I better go.”
Her mom over the ring: “sorry kiddo, you’ll have to try a different house.”
Yep, little kids were annoying but moms were too. “Wait a sec kid, moms are the worst! I’ll bring you a whole bag of candy.”
When she opened the door the little “kid” unfolded into a tower and she tried to slam the door but he was too strong.

How Bludworth Survived Death?
In Final Destination films, Bludworth (played by Tony Todd) was known to be the "Grim Reaper" and the Coroner of the film series. Bludworth has been an expert on Death giving advice on how to escape from Death that was until the Final Destination: Bloodlines, which would be Todd's final performance, Todd's character William John Bludworth (his full name) actually escaped Death decades ago at the Sky View where he was supposed to die along with his mother who was the singer of the band at the Skyview. During the until Iris who was in her 20s (played by Brec Bassinger) who had a Premonition that everyone is going to die on the Skyview, she stops the performance just to saving everyones lives including Bludworth. In the Final Destination: Bloodlines, Iris (played by Gabrielle Rose) now at old age, dying of cancer in hiding away from had two grown children who have their own children. One of their children, Stefani (played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana) had the same premonition met with Iris. Iris was living in a gated solitary home away from the outside world. Iris gives Stefani a book that shows who will die next and information on what happened after the SkyView to save their family before accepting Death's fate. After her death, Iris's son (played by Alex Zahara) dies next and Stefani's cousin (played by Anna Lore) which made Stefani get depth with Grandma Iris's book.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
