A horror triptych showing a screaming old woman in a doorway, two men running from a house at night, and a police crime scene outside a house.

Scene Description: Setting 1 (Door Escape): The protagonist is in the doorway of the old house, slamming the door shut with all his strength. Just before it closes, the old woman’s face is visible inches from his, twisted in a grotesque grin or lolling open-mouthed expression. The broken door chain dangles uselessly from the frame, suggesting he either ripped it free or snapped it in his panic. His face is drenched in sweat and sheer terror, every muscle straining to keep her out. Setting 2 (Running to Safety): Outside, under the pale glow of a streetlight or moonlight, he’s shown sprinting across a yard or driveway toward the faint silhouette of another house. His clothes are disheveled, and his posture is desperate, like a man who’s just barely escaped death. Behind him, the house looms dark and silent — no sign of the woman, amplifying the mystery. Police Scene (Optional Detail): At the neighbor’s house, the protagonist is seen collapsed on the doorstep, wild-eyed and babbling while another person (neighbor) looks alarmed, holding a phone. Later, a subtle secondary frame could show police officers inside the old house, finding nothing unusual — emphasizing his isolation and disbelief. Atmosphere: A blend of frantic movement (door slamming, sprinting) and eerie stillness (house silent behind him, police baffled afterward). The woman’s presence should be fleeting but horrifying, lingering in the viewer’s memory the way it does for the protagonist. See more
