Plot
The CSI team goes to a haunted house to solve more than just the latest case. Before they can solve the crime Lindsay is told something will happen to her if she doesn’t leave soon.
Critical analysis
This is the first halloween theme episode for CSI: NY and the two crimes draw on classic horror themes.
One is set in a spooky old house in Amityville, New York, best known for The Amityville Horror. The real-life story, on which the films are based, claims the house was haunted because of an earlier killing spree, when Ronald DeFeo, Jr. shot six members of his family to death.
The other deals with the murder of a man who is initially assumed to be dressed as a zombie from a blow to the head. The coffin contains genuine Haitian Vodou paraphernalia designed to invoke Baron Samedi. It eventually turns out he had been forced into simulated death by tetrodotoxin, the poison that ethnobotanist Wade Davis identified as the main constituent of the zombie powder used in Haiti.[1][2]
