ABOUT THIS HACK
===============
This is a Halloween-themed Kaizo mini hack, with 5 levels.

Why did I make this hack in May? It's because I'm soon going to retire from ROM hacking, after making ROM hacks since 2015 (almost 11 years). After this hack, I'll be making a Christmas Kaizo hack, as well as as a Thanksgiving Standard hack, as well as a couple long hacks (with 50+ exits), and finish a couple unfinished hacks before I officially retire, so this is gonna take a little while to happen.
