In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy brings to you the Halloween Gambit, which arises out of the Four Knights Game. It starts with the moves:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5

After 4.Nxe5, white offers a knight for a pawn with the aim to seize the center with pawns and to drive back black's knights. If black isn't well prepared for that tricky gambit, the Halloween Gambit can be an interesting opening choice for white to aggressively challenge black.
