_Chapter 1: Holiday Preparations_

(The scene opens in the living room of Mary and Jack's luxurious home. Mary, a successful businesswoman in her mid-30s, is busy packing suitcases while Jack, a handsome businessman in his late 30s, is checking his phone. Lucy, their 15-year-old daughter, is sitting on the couch, reading a book. Nora, their 5-year-old daughter, is running around the room, playing with her dolls.)

Mary: (sighs) Okay, I think we're almost ready. Jack, have you checked the weather forecast for Grandma's place?

Jack: (looks up from his phone) Yeah, it's supposed to snow heavily. We should arrive before the storm hits.

Lucy: (looks up from her book) I'm so excited to see Grandma's house. I've heard so many stories about it.

Nora: (runs to Mary) Mommy, Mommy! Can we decorate Grandma's house for Christmas?

Mary: (smiles) Of course, sweetie. We'll make it a special Christmas.

Jack: (puts down his phone) Alright, let's get moving. We have a long drive ahead of us.

Mary: (nods) Okay, everyone. Let's get our coats and bags. We're off to Grandma's house!

(The family begins to gather their belongings, chattering excitedly about their holiday trip. Little do they know, their Grandma's house holds a dark and terrifying secret...)
