About this episode

He Lit The Mask. Then Everyone Believed It Was An Accident In this episode, we delve into a disturbing Halloween confession about jealousy, cruelty, and a fire that changed one boy’s face forever. The narrator says he never meant for the mask to melt into Ethan’s skin - but he also admits he chose the moment, held the flame, and lied when the police arrived. Case: Halloween Mask Fire Date: 1985 Location: Elementary school playground Status: Confession hidden for decades Event: Cousin burned by Freddy Krueger mask Object: Lighter Object: Freddy Krueger mask Two thirteen-year-old cousins went trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Ethan mocked the narrator’s poverty, costume, and sick mother. The narrator followed Ethan to a playground and held a lighter to the back of his mask. The mask caught fire and fused to Ethan’s face. Police believed the narrator’s story that it was an accident. Ethan later appeared in a medical journal after years of reconstructive surgery. Tired of ads?
