By Kevin Ding - Senior Writer

In the spirit of the Halloween holiday, think of it in terms of your typical slasher flick: You’re out there doing what you do, living your normal life … until someone won’t let you go about your business anymore.

The forces against you actually are not just aggressive; they are maniacally intent on stopping you. You go from moving forward with that carefree air to staggering backward in utter confusion and fear. Who knows what or where is safe anymore? Before you know it, you’re stumbling around—and having to backpedal into playing your own sort of defense.
