Halloween Scary Story Contest?

Can a mod please host a scary story contest for Halloween? I know there's a short story contest in place, hosted by Masqua, but I think it would be fun to do a Halloween one as well. I would gladly host it, if just anyone can do it, but I can't award applause,etcc.

I would try, but could never equate Guts by Chuck Palanchek.

Ultimate short story.

I might give it whirl.

Welcome to the place where all the creatures meet
The last building to your left on a dead-end street.

There's skeleton bones outside in the pavement
And torture chambers down in the basement.

Cobwebs hangin' over your head
And music bein' played by the grateful dead.

And spinnin' on the turntables back to back
Is no other than my main man wolfman Jack

and rappin' to the tunes
Is the creature from the black lagoon.

There's a sign on the door that can't be missed
It says 'Enter but at your own risk'

people been reported goin' in the haunted house
But never again seen comin' out.

You ask me if it's true
Ill leave it up to you

Here's an invite
I hope I see you tonight.

We sent out invitations for weeks and weeks
We invited in all kinds of freaks

Like Dr. Jeykl and Mr. Hyde
the Adams family and the monster five

The invisible man where could he be?
We know he got inside the party free.

One of these days they're gonna catch him red-handed
If not for sneakin' in free but for being a booty bandit.

The bartender was cute but kinda hairy
And Dracula was killin' those Bloody Marys.

He got drunk as a skunk and started trouble all night
But everybody knew his bark was worse than his bite.

It was the only place for you to be
The first 200 witches in the party were free.

And all was well until the clock struck 12
Everybody jumped up and started raisin' hell.

They were screaming'
they were breakin'

they were foaming at the mouth
Just minor side effects of the haunted house.

You'll have haunted dreams in your sleep
You'll be tossin' and turnin' to the funky beat.

Frankenstein was there with some crazy little chick
I think she said her name was 'Voodoo an a stick'.

She had a big fat head and a skinny body
I couldn't be caught with her alone let alone at a party.

Egor was there with the monster crew
I seen everybody there except you.

Why didn't you come
weren't you prepared

Or could it be that you were scared
It's just not fair that you couldn't be there

Because you really missed a lot and I'm tellin' you
We really brought the place down at the haunted house of rock.

I'm pretty sure this means a creative license in the SS forum.

I hadn't been inspired yet this month to enter, but OMG it's the 8th already. I was hoping for a Halloween SS contest, but that's been done already, spun out a thousand ways. How to fit the two together?

Yes, Igor will serve the master. Must. Write. Horror.

This is actually a true story...
A few years back I was in lovell,Maine, and decided to scuba dive in a man made lake. After talking with the old timers in the area, I found out when the town flooded the area to make the lake, years and years ago, they accidentally flooded a cemetery. ,Cool! I thought, and I decided to contact my dive buddy to see if he wanted to go check it out!
I was told roughly where the cemetary part was, and we found it pretty quickly . It was about 15 feet down, and visibility was not great. We were swimming alittle apart and exploring between headstones, when something grabbed my shin and snagged on my wetsuit. I was alittle startled at first but kept swimming, and then my right fin became completely entangled in something that wrapped my lower leg. It felt hard and boney. It stopped me completely in my tracks. I turned to see what it was , but the silt on the bottom of the lake had kicked up and I couldn't see anything. I had zero visibility, And I was stuck! Knowing my swim buddy was there somewhere I knew I would be ok...But, then my mind started turning...was it a skeleton? A vampire? ..and what am I gonna do when the silt settles and there's a skeleton attached to my leg? I started to feel alittle panicky, as I started to envision " tales from the crypt" tv show. ..so to calm myself and wait it out , I had to sit on a head stone to wait for the silt to settle .Right as the visibility was coming back, and I started to see what was holding me captive, my swim buddy came looking for me. At that moment we both realized a large maple tree branch had fallen and was wrapped around my lower leg. He help me break free, and I was very relieved not see bones or a rib cage clinging to my leg! I felt really foolish, but slightly spooked still,and the thrill of swimming there was completely gone. When we surfaced and headed back to the jeep,I had to admit to my swim buddy that I thought someone from beyond was trying to grab me! Happy Halloween!

Doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit!

Just to fling out an idea, I'm thinking of something along the line of

'B-Movie Halloween Writing Contest. The Thicker The Cheese The Better The Sandwich"

Writting scary stuff has been done over and over again, so perhaps a little satire and an attempt at writting a good "b movie" story could be fun.

Thoughts?

You had me at "Cheese".

reply to post by tothetenthpower


...with blood dripping from their pencils, the crowd began to chant...

"Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!"

...it was only after they began to settle down that they noticed the evil grin on the bunny's face...

Alright then let me write up a the contest and I'll have it posted sometime today.
