Thanks to everyone who participated in the Crack the Code contest number 2. Congratulations to @jenkinrocket for solving my code puzzle for the second time!

There was a reference to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey in the puzzle, especially to this scene (the most significant part begins at 3:09):

So let's get back to the puzzle:

On the bottom, we have an image of HAL 9000, the computer from the movie. An arrow goes from it to the six blanks. The spacing suggests that they belong to the same word in the solution, but the arrow branches off, suggesting that there should be two three-letter words interpreted from the instruction at first.

HAL is placed low at the image and there is a part of the song Daisy Bell included, which HAL sings in a very low voice in the movie, so there are two reasons, why the six letters in this part of the puzzle should be HAL low.

For the second part of the puzzle, let me quote @jenkinrocket:

Last is the arrow pointing to a 'knee', but the 'k' is crossed out and backwards. In other words, take 'knee', cross out the 'k', and make it backwards, which is 'een'.

The answer is "Halloween".

Happy, scary and maybe even creepy Halloween everybody! 😱
