Wait for Annie to approach the car, realize she needs her keys, and go back inside. Enter while she is out of sight, then wait for her return. The cited walkthrough describes the car kill as a triggered scene.
Community walkthrough · timing not independently tested. References and scope below.The timing that matters
GuideXon — Chapter 4 Challenge 6 walkthrough ↗ describes the key-return moment as the opening to enter the vehicle. The The Halloween Game Wiki — Chapter 4 challenges ↗ also says to let Annie complete her routine rather than rushing her.
Use the actual scene as your checkpoint. “Annie is near the car” and “Annie has left to retrieve her keys” are different states. If you enter too early or interrupt the routine, you may not be reproducing the route described by the guide.
If the scene does not trigger
Before retrying, record three observations: whether Annie completed the preceding house routine, whether she saw Michael, and whether she had already returned for the keys. These are diagnostic notes, not confirmed hidden conditions.
A short recording from before she approaches the car is more useful than a screenshot after the failure. It lets you compare the order of events instead of guessing at a button input.
Continue the larger challenge
For the full film-sequence objective, continue with Chapter 4 Challenge 6. Do not assume that triggering this single scene finishes the complete chapter challenge. If the scene works but progress fails to register, consult challenge tracking problems.
