SPECIAL: Halloween Party Horrors

Halloween is supposed to be fun — until it isn’t. In 2001, Penn State senior Cindy Song vanished after a night of partying, leaving behind nothing but her costume and countless unanswered questions. Ten years later and thousands of miles away, another young woman, 18-year-old Taylor Van Diest, was attacked on her way to a Halloween party in British Columbia.
Her final text: “Being creeped.”
What began as two separate nightmares would reveal the darkest corners of obsession, violence, and fate. Carter Roy explores two Halloween crimes separated by years but united by eerie parallels — and the chilling reminder that monsters don’t need masks to blend in among us.
