  "account": "Avatar: Seven Havens has introduced a Halloween episode titled \"Night of the Afflicted,\" which pays homage to the classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead. Unlike traditional zombies, the afflicted in this series are civilians who have come into contact with the diamond anomaly. This contact results in various physical deformities, including embedded red crystals and glowing, red, bloodshot eyes. The most unsettling transformation occurs in twins Pavi and Nisha, who become monstrous and paranoid under the anomaly's influence, leading to a zombie-like stampede through dark tunnels. The episode also explores Pavi's struggle with her lost leg and her reliance on Nisha for help, which ultimately leads to their victory against the anomaly. \"Night of the Afflicted\" is a unique and frightening addition to the Avatar Halloween canon, making it a must-watch for fans.",
