The Halloween witch is rocking in her haunted house, brewing potions and casting spells. She is cackling with glee as she prepares for the spookiest night of the year. Her house is filled with eerie decorations, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and bats fluttering in the corners. Candles flicker, casting eerie shadows on the walls, as the witch stirs her cauldron. Outside, the moon is full and the night is as dark as the deepest abyss. Children in costumes wander the streets, collecting treats and playing tricks.
Children in costumes wander the streets, collecting treats and playing tricks. The witch watches from her window, delighted by the chaos she has created. She knows that tonight, her power is at its pinnacle, and she revels in it.

Nas expands his top 10 count on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart, as Magic debuts at No. 5 on the chart dated Jan. 8 to secure his tenth top 10 effort on the list. The set, released Dec. 24 on Mass Appeal after one day of notice, starts with 21,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Dec. 30, according to MRC Data.
Of Magic‘s first-week activity, just under 12,500 of the 21,000 units derive from streaming-album equivalents, representing 16.4 million on-demand streams of the set’s tracks. 8,000 units are from traditional album sales, and the remaining 500 units come through track-equivalent units. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)

Reviews for "Creep through the Night: A Halloween Witch Rocks in Her Haunted House"
- John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Halloween witch rocking in her haunted house". The storyline was weak and predictable, and the acting was subpar. The scares were also quite lacking, and I felt like I wasted my money on this film. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a good Halloween movie.
- Sarah - 1 star - "Halloween witch rocking in her haunted house" was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The plot was confusing and didn't make much sense, and the special effects were laughable. The characters were extremely one-dimensional, and I couldn't connect with any of them. Save your time and money and skip this one.
- David - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Halloween witch rocking in her haunted house", but it ended up being a huge letdown. The pacing was slow, and I found myself bored throughout most of the movie. The scares were predictable and not at all scary. The overall production quality also seemed cheap and poorly done. I was expecting a lot more from this film.
