Monsters Are Real!

Hi, right now I’m scared to death if anyone gets this dairy just know monsters are real. It was a warm sunny Tuesday and nothing could go wrong. But you see it was October 31 Halloween morning and my friends and I planned to go trick-or-treating. We had pillowcases filled with candy already and we only just started.
As we walked up Triton Ave we came across the haunted house. Halo said, “That house was sold a few days ago, why don’t we see if the new owners have some treats for us”. We agreed. I guess we were just thinking about sweets. As we walked up the old stone driveway the wooden door creaked open inviting us in, maybe we should have run away then but we were too excited thinking it was a Halloween-crazy family. We walked slowly into the old brick house imagining the mouth-watering candy they must have. Then “woosh” goes something on the roof the lights turn off and the door slams shut. I hear a devil laugh and I let out a scream. STOMP STOMP STOMP goes a creature walking on the creaky wooden floor.
”Ha Ha Halo very funny,” I said.
A deep voice went “Who are you calling funny?”
A high-pitched voice screamed, “Her blood looks very juicy”. I ran away and hid in a wardrobe with 10 bloodthirsty bats.
I slowly exited the wardrobe and the lights were on. My friends were missing. I heard a monster say “Dinner was delicious. I Wish it was October the 31 every day because blood juice is the best.”
I ran until I got home., “Hi, Mum and Dad” I shouted. “Sweetie you’ve done a very short trick or treating. Do you want to go longer?” Mum says.
“No, I never want to go trick or treating again,” I said and ran off.

Don’t Trust a Monster

One day three little monsters went to the human village to kidnap five humans for human soup because their little sister Molly was sick. Frank the strong Frankenstein monster, Fang the bloodthirsty vampire and Sam the transparent ghost skipped away for a spooky adventure.

They snuck into the human house and crept up to the humans who were lazing on the couch drinking cola. Whoosh, on went the sack with all five humans tied up. The little monsters ran back home. They opened the sack, tipped all the humans into the pot, and then stirred till mushy.

The three monsters ran up the stairs. But where was their sister Molly? They started looking left and right, up and down, and then they found her in her bed.
“You took too long,” she said. Sharp spikes, long tentacles and spider legs burst out of her body and she turned into a giant monster. She opened her mouth, lunged towards them and… “Buurrrppp!!!”

Trick or Treating

Once upon a time, there lived 3 girls named Freya, Ash and Amira. They went trick-or-treating together. They decided to go to 20 houses. Freya was dressed up as a ghost, Ash was dressed up as a zombie and Amira was dressed up as a vampire. Freya and Ash were at the last house, so they knocked on the door and there was no answer so they knocked again. The door cracked open but no one was there. Who had opened the door? Ash stepped in and said “Hello. Anyone home?” There was no answer, so Freya stepped in and said “Hello. Anyone home?” and there was no reply. Amira stepped in and THE DOOR CLOSED BEHIND THEM AND LOCKED.

The girls shouted for help and then they heard a little kid scream. It sounded like it was coming from the basement so they went the way the scream was coming from.
“I’m not going first,” said Amira
“I will,” said Ash, so she went in. Freya and Amira stayed in the hallway when suddenly they heard Ash scream.
‘Are you ok?” said Freya. There was no reply, AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT.

Well, it wasn't completely the end of that. They heard the little kid scream again, so Freya went into the room and Amira was left alone in the dark hallway, cold and scared. She heard Freya scream. Amira asked, “Are you okay?” There was no reply.

The little kid screamed again so Amira went in. She didn't die and she didn't scream. She found out it was a speaker all along. Freya And Ash didn't die; Ash had broken her leg and Freya had broken her arm. They hadn't replied because they were gobbling on all the candy.

Halloween

Once upon a time, 3 girls lived in Laughing Valley but today was not a day to laugh. It was a day of zombies, wizards, witches and vampires walking the streets alone in the dark, but this Halloween would change these 3 girl’s lives forever. I will start at the beginning, it was October 31st. Ash was waiting for Amira to come to her house. They had the plan all ready to go and Ash had marked the houses that they were going to. Amira finally came to Ash's house with 3 flashlights and 3 massive candy bags
“You weren't kidding when you said you have 3 massive candy bags already with a bunch of candy inside of it.” Amira was all wrapped up in yellow-tinted toilet paper she was a mummy. I was wearing a long black cape, false vampire teeth and a black T-shirt. Ash gave her a handful of her candy and Ash and Amira off to the first house. It was a black and white house with ghost bats and spider webs on it. White, orange and black tinsel covered the house with blown-up bats, ghosts and vampires on top of the roof.

Amira said, “How did they manage to put these things on the roof?”

Ash said “A ladder and a lot of guts.”

Amira laughed. “Freya said she would meet at this house.” They heard scary noises from behind them but they didn't turn around. They felt a hand on their shoulder. Amira screamed and Ash was about to scream but then she heard a little laugh. When she turned around she realized it was Freya. The laugh started to get bigger so then Amira turned around and stopped screaming her head off and laughed too. All the friends laughed until they heard a creek at the door they looked out to see an elderly woman with a bucket full of candy. they ran over and said thank you but then the lady grabbed them by their ankles and chucked them in the house. They screamed. The woman walked off back to the front door. Ash realized“Freya wasn't that your grandmother” Freya had a shocked look on her face ‘it was.’ Ash smacked Amira on the arm and said “Shut up you whiny Wart it was just Freya’s grandmother” “But why would Freya's grandmother do such a thing” Freya said “Why would I know”

“Because you're her granddaughter” Amira said “That means nothing” “Are you trying to prank us or something” Amira said “Excuse you, why would I do that”

“Shut up you two. Stop arguing,” Ash said. Freya's grandmother walked back and all the girls became quiet until Freya's grandmother said “Did I do a good enough job?” Ash started to pace thinking about what had happened before them “Wait. Don't tell me this is a prank,” Ash said

Zombies

Stomp! Stomp! I went to a haunted graveyard, when “AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh! A hhhaannd,” I screeched. A bony, pale red hand with one of its fingers skinless, waved. It was a zombie. Not just 1, it was 10 zombies!

“Run!” I cried. I sped over to Ben who was standing at the gate and told him there were ten pale red zombies waddling through the graveyard.
Ben and I were ten minutes from Ben’s home so we ran there. “Hello Kids,” called someone from the kitchen. “Iiiitttts a Devil with a sharp sword,” we screamed and then fainted on the floor.
When we woke up, Ben and I were tied together. I called Dad and told him to bring a chainsaw and a pocket knife or saw. Dad threw the door wide open and brought Tim. Dad cut us free and killed the zombies.
