hwpIt is said that over 150 years ago
in the town of Darkness Falls
Matilda Dickson was adored by all the children.
Whenever one of them lost a tooth, they would bring it to her
in exchange for a gold coin
earning her the name The Tooth Fairy.
But fate was not kind to Matilda.
One night, fire tore through her home on Lighthouse Point
leaving her face horribly scarred.
Matildas burned flesh was so sensitive to light, she could only go out at night
always wearing a porcelain mask
so no one could ever look upon her face.
One day, two children didnt come home.
The townspeople blamed Matilda. They hanged her
tearing off her mask, exposing her hideous face to the light.
And with her dying breath
Matilda laid a curse upon Darkness Falls.
The next morning, the two children were found, safe and sound.
The town buried their secret along with Matildas body.
Since then, there are some who believe that Matilda visits
the children of Darkness Falls on the night they lose their last tooth
seeking her vengeance on any who lay their eyes upon her face
fulfilling her curse:
What I took before in kindness
I will take forever in revenge.
Youre going to ask Caitlin to the dance tomorrow, right?

Well, this was a bad idea.
Caitlin says that when you grow up, youre not afraid of the dark anymore.
