One dark and stormy Halloween, two kids named Spooky and Scary went trick-or-treating. They came to a spooky house. It had old, gross boards and the two kids went up on the deck.
Spooky rang the doorbell and a voice said, “Get out.” All of a sudden, the door slammed open and a black cat came along and hissed at the boys. Spooky said, “Let’s go in!” So the friends went into the house and they saw death. They tried to run out, but the door slammed shut. They ran up the stairs, but the stairs went flat and Spooky and Scary slid down. They went back up on the railing. They went to a door and there was a kitchen on the other side. They went around the corner of the kitchen and saw a zombie baby. It crawled up onto the ceiling. The two boys followed its blood trail and, all of a sudden, it fell into Spooky’s arms. He dropped the zombie baby quickly. They then went into a dark room where a scary clown popped out. It had a tiger claw and said, “Don’t mess with tigers.” Then, he kept laughing and came towards Spooky and Scary. They ran out and got to the end of the hall and turned around. They saw a headless horseman, then the wall turned and they were in a room with fireplace and chair, with death sitting in it.
