Halloween I will never forget
One spooky All Hollow’s Eve I was walking quickly by the old neighborhood real haunted house as we were going through the neighborhood trick-or-treating. It really is haunted! No one had lived there in decades. I hear all kinds of stories about the place and my mother says I‘m never to go there! It is creepy and all falling apart. My so called best friend Jon dares me to walk into the house as the front door was open. What am I going to do?
I laughed the dare off thinking he would forget. I dared him to go first. John and his friends call me fraidy cat. I felt so bad. I got mad thinking I’ll show them. What would you have done? I crept up the sidewalk to the porch. The house needed paint and there were broken windows. The door was wide open so I peeked in. There was old furniture and cobwebs all over the place. It was dark and smelled funny. The door creaked on its hinges as I walked in. This place was in need of a real home makeover like in those shows dad watches in TV.
The floor boards creaked under my feet. I heard a cat and saw its yellow eyes as it raced ahead of me. I screamed! I must have scared it, but who was scared more, me or the cat? I could barely see. There was no electricity as it had been turned off years ago. The only light was that of the full moon peeking in through the musty curtains. I turned to the left because I knew the back door was close by. I just had to go through the old kitchen. Would you have continued into the house or backed out? I felt along the old kitchen counter with my hand. I was so glad I had a baseball glove on; I was a Red Sox player again this year. The table seemed low on the floor. It had actually started falling through the old floor. This place really was dangerous! I need to get out of here FAST!
I reached the door but it was stuck. I pulled and pulled but it would not move. The wet October air had caused the door to swell shut. How was I going to get out? Then I saw the old window. I pulled and pushed and finally

    Thirsty I made my way towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Cranberry Pomegranate juice. Sitting around what’s left of the dining room table one of its hinges obliterated merely three table legs left as a support. A branch from the oak tree near the kitchen window kept tapping against the walls and windows as the wind blows. This branch at night when the murky moonlight blooms against the massive tree meticulously resemble an oversized man with a knife trying to break into the house. I often dreaded coming down the stairs for a cup of water or juice late at night when the lights were off. The terrified image and screeches sound on the window always send me scurrying right back to my room and ducking under the covers trembling for dear…

    Peter slammed his office door and ruptured another splinter on its face like the thousands that plagued it. His shaky hands fixed three locks across the door that jarred into their familiar cradles. He dragged his chair through the cracked grooves in the floorboards and collapsed into it with a sigh. The paperwork on his desk was minimal. It was the nightmare garden he tended to every night once the children were dreaming, and his wife curled against her own skin, embraced by icy cotton sheets. Better.…

    My room was dark, like a dark hole. I wasn’t sure about opening the closet. I was thrilled to know what was behind, but scared about finding something I might regret. I put my hand on the doorknob and slowly opened it. The closet door made a worse sound than the one that was coming from it.…

    Snow started to shower as if on a peaceful rainy night and I look for any opening, trying to escape this creature that was following me. I could make out a large building figure ahead and ran directly to it, exhorting my energy as I advanced through the shivers in my body and aching bloodstained legs. An old tainted church-like mansion appeared as the fog cleared and I forced my way up the frigid sleet hill and onto a rusty pavement beside the building. I leaned upon the 5-metre tall wooden door trying to hear any sound coming from inside the outsized building, trying to sense any civilisation as the sky slowly turned into a rich black shade. I knocked onto the polished door, trying to depict a reaction from the owner that might've lived in this secluded place. Lights started to rapidly appear above the door and forming a luminous loop around the entire mansion, whilst the door blew open with such force that I was knocked back onto my spine. I tried to scamper away on my knees as a spine-chilling sensation started to form from what was a supernatural…

    Music blared from my cellphone as I folded my laundry. Jeans went in a pile at the end of my bed and shirts were folded in the center. Mom had come home a few hours ago and was napping in her room on the other side of the house, a few walls between us. I heard the front door of our apartment pop open, so I dropped my clothes and ambled out of my room, through the hallway, and into the kitchen.…

    My spook tacular Halloween consists of three things, which are getting dressed up in my extravagant costume, eating superb candy, and watching “ Charlie Brown and the Pumpkin Patch” with my family. This may sound really fun right, well before I can enjoy my fun Halloween evening, I have a lot to accomplish before I am allowed to enjoy my evening. Normally the first thing I do in the morning is I bring the decorations up from the basement and hang them up. The next thing I have to do is absolutely horrific, that small task leads to a long amount of time spent on actually making this gigantic orange item, and that item is carving a pumpkin. The third and final task I must complete is picking out different assortments of candy with my mom. After…

    “His name is Fuzzy, and you have to promise to take good care of him, alright?” She nodded, her curly pigtails bobbing along. I handed Fuzzy to her and she immediately placed him carefully in the front pocket of her overalls. I couldn’t help but give a smile as she ran back towards Mama, shouting, “Looky! Looky!”.…

    In its modernity, Halloween is the only day out of the entire year where a person is encouraged to be someone wildly different from themselves, with (almost) no negative repercussions. Thus, people tend to outdo themselves when it comes to crafting their "persona" for the night, taking much of their inspiration from movies, video games, the news, and even Internet memes to build the greatest costumes.…

    A loud pounding on the door woke me. I rolled out of my bed and crashed into the floor. It sounded as if the hinges were just about to fly off of the door. Afraid of what could be at the door, I knew that I had to open the door, because whatever was at the door was not leaving anytime soon. I bolted to the door, and slowly started to turn the door nob.…

    I couldn’t stand waiting for any longer, I made a dash for the other corner, and bolted for the door. It wasn’t like a could kill it. Once out, I scrambled out the steps and fumbled out the main door. It was then apparent to me that this was no ordinary Halloween night. I stood soul-harrowed, hundreds of floundering bodies crowded my once happy neighborhood.…

    I got a warm punch in the face as I opened the door that had let out an ear wrenching squeak. Walking up the stairs one by one, while each of them creaked, there was an eerie feeling in the air, and the house that was once filled with laughing and jokes was all the sudden deathly quiet.…
