Mwahahahalloween

It was a dark dark night. Lit only by the glow of the computer screen, they ooh'd and ahhh'd over Asda's awesome range of fancy dress costumes, screaming excitedly about how to scare everyone in the street on Halloween.

They haunted the letterbox day and night, terrorising the postman by snatching every piece of junk mail that dared peep through, until a loud piercing 'DING DONG' rang out through the house. The Postman handed over a mysterious parcel that made no sound when shaken vigorously, except a slightly eerie crinkling which could have been the ghost of Halloween past.

Furiously shredding the packaging as they went, they wrestled the parcel to the ground to discover a decimated Skeleton and Witch, previously sat upon by a giant Troll. Eager to breathe life back into the costumes, they filled them with their own bodies. Within seconds the Skeleton was daring the witch to a fright off!

 

But that was not the end of the story. You cannot call a witch a witch until she is suitably adorned with a cobweb or two, or a skeleton a skeleton without bony white hands. Fortunately, a amicable parent was on hand to facilitate the final transformation.

Meanwhile, not to be left out a slightly less terrifying Lion emerged from the body of a toddler.

When the haunting was over and the Skeleton, Witch and Lion retired to haunt another house, a boy wrote a story ...

A skeleton kept scaring the children away.

Day and day the skeleton frightened children, hour by hour

Soon the skeleton woke up to a day when children weren't children, They were ghosts.

He ran and ran until he came to this house.

It wasn't an ordinary house. It was a skeleton house. He hated it and he promised he wouldn't scare children again.

  ...and a girl and a toddler coloured and scribbled like they were possessed.

Do you think I have a budding children's horror author on my hands? Do show your appreciation for this newly discovered talent and leave him a comment. It will make his Halloween! Thank you x
