The title is most famously associated with Season 1, Episode 7 of The Vampire Diaries . This pivotal episode features Vicki Donovan's tragic struggle with her new vampire nature and her eventual death at the high school Halloween party.

While the rest of the town donned cheap plastic masks for the high school Halloween party, Vicki felt her own skin becoming the mask. She was trapped between the girl who loved her brother Matt and the predator that Damon Salvatore had boredly unleashed.

"Vicki, stop!" Elena’s scream cut through the music from the gym.

At the party, the strobe lights turned the gymnasium into a series of jagged, frozen moments. Matt scanned the crowd for his sister, hoping a night of "normal" teenage fun would fix whatever darkness had settled in her eyes. But Vicki wasn't looking for fun. She was looking for a tether, and she found it in Jeremy Gilbert.
