Tell A SCARY Story
Halloween is coming up and while this may look a little different for some of us this year, it’s always a great chance to help develop our story-telling skills! A scary story is amazing because it’s not only what you write that makes it scary, it’s also in HOW you tell that story. This week, your challenge is to write a scary story (one you come up with or one that you’ve heard before). This way, on Friday, we’ll get to hear each other read our scary stories out loud in class!
To get you in the mood, here is a story a friend of mine told my girls when we were camping this summer! It’s called Hairy Toe!

Once Upon a time there was 4 people walking through out the forest
"I want cookie" one person said impatiently. "We didn't pack any cookies Eli". Eli growled and ran off into the woods."I really hope he knows there are no cookie trees" another said. a couple minutes pass by they haven't seen Eli. One person gets really worried and starts screaming his name. "Shut up your only going to attract animals" I said. Honestly I was also worried so we start looking around until we come across a broken bridge. I look across and see a small girl standing there smiling but not the nice kind but the scary kind of smile. I blink and shes gone I ask my friends and they say "are you seeing things Topher". At this point i'm scared I don't just yell out i'm scared Because that's weird. We keep looking for Eli. About 10 minutes go by and I turn "where is Harry" I say did he go missing too. "I don't know where he went" the last person said. "We should stick together just in case something happens" I say. "Good idea". We keep looking we come across a shack and he's gone. I didn't take my eyes off him for even a second. So I guess my only option is just to go in the shack. I see Eli and Harry and the other guy. They where here making epic tic-toc. With the girl I saw they said it was just Derrick. THE END

The Halloween Hunt
Once upon a time, in a cottage town, there was a little boy named Samuel who lived in a cottage with his family. In his house lived his dad, mom, and his sister Peggy. On Halloween night, Samuel’s parents decided to make a trick-or-treat hunt for him and his sister in the woods. It took his parents a few hours to set up the hunt and when they were finished, they explained the rules to Samuel and Peggy. The goal was to find all 100 Kit Kat chocolate bars that were hiding in the trees and bushes.

Peggy and Samuel started to search and to begin it was very easy they were finding Kit Kat’s everywhere. It was also very quiet, almost a little too quiet. Then, all of a sudden

“CRACK!”

something had made a very loud noise in the distance. Samuel shrieked and then quickly alerted his sister Peggy. This was when the real Halloween hunt started! Peggy and Samuel looked back and realized they had walked too far away from home and they were lost and scared.

They then heard the noise again CRACK!

Except this time the noise was a lot closer and louder. Both of them were extremely scared now and then they heard a whisper in their ear that said “be careful, they are coming for you”. This made Peggy start to cry and Samuel knew they had to get back fast. They started running through the trees, jumping over bushes until Peggy tripped on a root from a big, oak tree. Samuel turned around and saw Peggy lying on the ground with something with big red eyes coming right for Peggy. Samuel then turned forward and another creature with big, red glowy eyes was looking at him. Samuel ran to Peggy to protect her. The creatures came closer and closer until they were right over top of Samuel and Peggy.

All of a sudden the creatures came right down beside them and went to eat Peggy and Samuel, but then Samuel and Peggy heard some laughing. They knew they had heard the laughs before and knew it was their parents. The parents then took off their masks and hugged their crying children.

Then in the distance all they heard was CRACK…..

Oh hey there, I'm Stephanie Pumpkin, I know, dumb name. I love black, my room is black, my hair is black, everything MUST be black. You might have been able to tell, but i'm an emo girl, if you don't know what that means, well, if you search it up it says i'm all emotional and all that, but emo girls are just tough, but shy. Yea we're emotional, I mean we're human, but whatever, lets just get on with my story. So I live with my dad and step-mom, and we had just moved from New York to somewhere in the country, I honestly don't know where exactly. All I heard was the owners before got in a car crash and fell in water and drowned or something. I believe in ghosts, and i'm pretty sure the old owners are trying to haunt the house to scare us off, but I can see the ghosts, my parents can't only I can. I've tried telling them about the ghosts but they wouldn't believe me. Oh! I could also talk to the ghosts, they were kinda my friends I would say, they talk about this dude named beetle-jui- I can't say his actual name but like, its beetle, and then like a drink, I can't say his name because he is some really bad ghost that wants to ruin everyone's after life. If I say beetle-jui- right I cant say it, but if I say that guys name three times he will come back alive and ruin our lives. My ghost friends said they accidentally said his name three times, and that's already bad because he's trying to hurt my dad and my step mom. I don't really care for my step mom, she's just some brat that only wants my dad for his money. One night I was sitting at the dinner table with some rich people we invited over, and then my step mom started dancing really creepy. It was real weird. Then everyone but me started dancing, so I was assuming the ghosts were somehow doing it. After lots of weird stuff, one time the railing from our stairs turned into a snake with beetle-juice's head- Oh no I said his name, whatever it was only once. Anyways, it was like a snake with that ugly pervert's head on it. It started coming at me and my family, but it was coming at me! My friends couldn't have turned against me, right? After some running and screaming, my ghost friends, Barbra and Adam came running down, they screamed "BEETLE-JUICE STOP!"
"You guys summoned me, and i'm helping you! Bunch of losers." Beetle-Juice said, annoyed.
After more and more weird stuff, Barbra and Adam were summoned by my step moms servant, and then they started dying, like dead dead! I ran over to where beetle-juice was kept, and I screamed
"Please help Barbra and Adam! They're dying!"
"Heh, I'll help them, if you help me!" Beetle-Juice said mischievously.
"What do I need to do?!" I yelled, panicking
"You gotta say my name three times and then marry me ;)" Said beetle-juice
"WHAT?! NO YOU PERVERT!" I screamed
"Then I won't help ya" Said beetle-juice
"UGh fine, beetle juice, beetle juice, beetle juic-"

TO BE CONTINUED.... :P

50 years ago, someone drowned. Her name was Barnabas Bradley on that same day about 50 black mouses appeared on the streets. Exactly 18 minutes later all 2000 pumpkins at a pumpkin patch turned black. 23 minutes later 50 black cars appeared in a parade, 12 minutes later 50 black ghouls just dropped from the sky flying around. 35 minutes later 50 black drones attacked 50 innocent people. Then, those 50 black drones disappeared. 2 hours later everyone's candy from stores, buckets, pillowcases, bags, and even bowls in total of 50 pieces of candy turned black. About 50 parents didn't realize that the candy was black because they all thought is was chocolate. Then all 50 people who ate the black candy froze until they could find 50 black serums. But the people who froze from the bad candy ate a lot of black things and then they didn't want to drink the serum, and now remain frozen still.

At the end of a quiet road, behind a veil of twisted black oak trees, there was a house. A woman lived there. On bitter nights like this one, she sat by the fire and read until she grew tired enough to sleep. But on this night, as her lids grew heavy, she was startled by a sound. A sound she wasn’t accustomed to hearing these days. The telephone rang. Who could be calling, she wondered? And this late? She rose from her chair and picked up the phone "Hello?" "I’m going to kill you", a man with a deep voice said. "Who is this?", she asked. No answer. Her hands were trembling. She called the police. The man said, "Look on your left!" The guy was holding a gun and a knife and it was dripping blood. The last words she heard was "FLESH!!!!!!!!"

"MWAHAHAHA" I hear faintly coming from towards a house my parents warned me never to go near, my curiosity was getting the better of me and I knew I had to check it out, although my curiosity wasn't enough to make me go alone so I contacted as many friends as I could to explain the situation only a couple tagged along.
My 4 friends and I began walking towards the spooky house up on the hill, it's just like every cheesy horror movie where they were warned to never go in and of course they did, we were just kids though and that kinda stuff has to just be a rumour, theres no way- "AHHHH" 2 of my friends scream as I snap back to reality, everyone was speechless as we just stared at the dark figure that stood before us, it began slowly creeping forwards, mumbling words that I couldn't quite understand, you may be wondering why we didn't bolt right out of there, well my friends and I were stronger than that, we weren't just going to let some dark um, thing? get the better of us, instead of walking backwards we waltzed towards it, the figure did a small jump as if it was shocked and then began walking backwards like it was scared of us, I couldn't quite comprehend why that thing was scared of us.
I had been in my head the whole time that I hadn't realized that my friends had disappeared, "g-guys?" I whisper hoping to get a response and for someone to reassure me that this was just some sick joke, but no, no responses, no friends, no nothing, I feel nothing as I'm being absorbed by this black liquid, I couldn't see, there was nothing to see? I was just staring into the deep, dark black void. but then I woke up :)

One day three curious kids were playing in the forest. They heard a strange sound from a part of the forest they had never been to, because it was too far away from the one boy's house. Then they heard it again, the very scary sound, and it made their bones chill. So, like I said, the kids were very curious and they went in the direction of the sound. They walked very slowly so the thing that was making the sound couldn't hear them.
"Snap!"
"Oops, sorry" the girl who stepped on the stick, Skye, whispered.
"Look there's a shadow moving over there." Timothy said.
It was getting dark and thick clouds were rolling in above them.
"I think we should go back" said the other boy, Morgan.
"You're just too chicken" said Timothy.
Then the sound started again, the bone chilling sound.
"OK this is so suss, like I also think we should go back" said Skye, her teeth chattering.
"Just follow my lead I know what to do" said Timothy.
"Morgan, what are you doing? I said follow my lead!"
So they walked closer, and out from the bushes jumped... STUART, a kid from their school.
"Was this a prank?" asked the leader of the three, Timothy.
"No, I was working on a science experiment and the sound you heard was me making something for it."
"What is it?" asked Skye.
"Come and see."
So they walked to the other side of the bushes and then got yanked up into the trees.
"Ha ha ha! Got you!" Stuart said as he took a picture to put on his Instagram.
"Oh we will get you back!" said Timothy.

On a very sunny day, no seriously it was like 100 degrees, anyways, a young little boy about the age of five was taking a short walk to the post office to mail something for his mother. The little boys name was Casper, he had very blonde hair, light blue eyes, and he would always wear the same white socks. Casper would be called ghost boy by the the kids in his kindergarten class, the kids would call him ghost boy because Casper would always wear the same white socks and hair his hair was almost the shade of white. Casper’s teacher, Mr. Settle, also did not like Casper very much, so Mr. Settle would not call Casper ghost boy but Mr. Settle would call Casper ghost. Once Casper got to the post office he mailed the package for his mother and left. When Casper got home the front door was locked, now Casper was only five so he did not have a phone yet to call his mother. About five or ten minutes later Casper started to panic, and it did not help that Casper had bad anxiety problems. A few seconds later a man in a white truck started to pull up into Caspers driveway, the man had a small knife in the front of his truck and a few ropes in the back. Casper knew he had to get into the house somehow so he checked all the windows and tried the back door but as he expected all were locked. Even though Casper was only five he decided to try to break the door, he ran from about five or six feet away from the door and all the sudden he was inside his house and the door was not even cracked. The man in the truck stepped out of the car putting the knife in his pocket and grabbing the ropes from the back, the man searched all around the outside of the house looking for openings. Casper was inside the locked and secured house panting heavily, he was scared, Casper did not even think of the fact that he just walked through a door. After Casper caught his breath he heard banging at the front door, Casper shivered while reminding himself that his mother was going to be home in about five to ten minutes. Casper though was incorrect, it was twenty minutes later and his mother was still not home. The time came that the man in the white truck got into the house, and there Casper was, standing in fear in the middle of the kitchen mumbling “mom”. The End

one day there was a boy named Christopher. Christopher loved going on walks in the woods even though they were told to be the most haunted woods on this planet. They were called Sawyers woods! Sawyer was the boy that had died in those woods a long time back but Chris didn't care one little bit. All he wanted to do was go on walks. Little did he know Sawyer was planning something for him, and it wasn't cookies.

the next day Chris was getting ready to go on his walk at the usual time 3:00 am. it was pitch black out and that's when the cookie monster came out to play. Chris took his normal rout so he wasn't nervous at all. This walk seemed longer than normal so he invited his good friends Nic, Cole, and spencer. they all set off, but when they reached the woods there was a bad vibe so Chris said "don't go there are some bad vibes man" but all the sudden Nic stared sprinting in saying " hahhahahahhahahahhahah You will never find me! The other boys quickly followed him in to find Sawyer standing over Nic's dead body. Chris then said to sawyer "Not cool man you will have to pay for that", then out of nowhere Chris turns into a ghost buster and says in the box.......... THE END!

One day 2 sisters and their parents decided to visit their grandparents house. One of the 2 sisters were 4 and the other was 6. They were out visiting their grandparents in Pennsylvania, when they were in the car the younger sister named Sophia got bitten by a vampire bat! They had their car windows open which is how the bat got in, the older sister Ashley then noticed the bat which had bit her sister, so she started to shove the bat back out the window, not seeing it bit her sister. Sophia did not tell Ashley that the bat had bitten her because the bat had hypnotized her and was controlling her since she was not a vampire but was under a spell. Once they arrived at their grandparents house Ashley noticed her sister being weird but brushed it off, then Sophia and Ashley started to play a game of UNO which is random but they felt like it. But before they had even started the game when setting up Sophia got mad Ashley for not doing it right. Since Sophia was under control of the bat it made her extremely mad and she was only 4 with a bad temper. So Sophia BIT her sister right on the shoulder to the point it was red and bruised. Ashley then started to yell to her parents. When her parents had come Sophia had already stopped and was not under the control of the bat. Ashley was super mad at her sister for doing that and told on her so Sophia did eventually apologize and was forgiven after an hour ( they do not stay mad at each other for long amounts of time). A week later they went home and Sophia or Ashley never saw the bat again!
