In the beggining, when the nurse sees someone has come in her house, she goes next door to get help. The kid decides to go in and check it out himself. Notice that, as soon as he enters the house he tries to turn on the lights, but can't: no electricity. He then moves on to the kitchen where he opens the fridge door at voila! The little light comes on!
maybe the light bulb in that room just happen to be broken.....or the circuit breaker for that specific room was turned off so his face would not be seen....(Michael Meyers)
