A spooky, monochromatic illustration depicts a stone castle courtyard under a full moon on Halloween night. Two figures in dark cloaks stand on the cobblestone ground, facing a large, imposing stone building with arched doorways and a balcony. Two other figures in suits are entering the building. Jack-o'-lanterns glow ominously on either side of the courtyard, and bats fly in the moonlit sky, creating a chilling atmosphere.
