A person in a black cloak and white mask stands in a living room. The black cloak covers the person's entire body with a hood pulled up over the person's head and black gloves covering the person's hands. The white mask has a fixed, cartoonish expression that resembles a generic ghost face. The mouth, nose, and eyes are indicated with blacked out dents. The mouth shape is an exaggerated skinny oval that signifies a scream. The nose is indicated by a small black nostril hole similar to that of a skull. And the eye dents are large oblong shapes that give the expression of a furrowed sorrowful brow. The mask has dirt splotches on it with some of white paint wearing off. The person holds a large hunting knife in their right hand about shoulder height with the tip pointing slightly to the mask as if gesturing towards themselves.
