Plot summary
Peter is an eight-year-old boy who lives with Carol and Mark, parents who are overbearing and emotionally distant, and he is bullied at school. His substitute teacher, Miss Devine, treats him with sympathy. When Peter asks to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, his parents refuse, citing a girl who went missing nearby years before. That night, tapping from inside his bedroom wall wakes him, though his parents insist he is imagining it. In the days that follow, Peter speaks with a voice from the wall, which says his parents trapped her there and calls them evil. Miss Devine grows worried when Peter draws a picture of himself frightened in bed under the words Help me.
