Wanted: Your Favorite Short Halloween Stories and Jokes!"

Clough · Oct 25, 2007, 10:15 PM

For some of us, the observance of the holiday of Halloween is almost here! I am just looking for people to share some favorite short, maybe scary - maybe not, Halloween stories and fun Halloween jokes. Simple jokes, rhymes, riddles, silly, childish, etc. Just a catch-all of some of what you might enjoy on the side of having fun on Halloween! Some short stories would really be nice!

Here are some examples:

Why did the ghost cross the road?
Answer: To get to "THE OTHER SIDE"

What trees do ghouls like best?
Ceme-trees!

Why are graveyards so noisy?
Because of all the coffin!

What ghost helped the Little Leaguers win their game?
THE TEAM SPIRIT!

Absolutely, I agree, and this story will take a little time to explain and I will need the energy...but the things I want (need) to talk about are very interesting and very strange.

I look forward to reading your story!

A SILLY HALLOWEEN STORY

It was late at night one Halloween, and us three kids were trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. We were in the 4th grade at the school we attended together. We had been put to bed already, but it was Halloween, after all, so me and Joey and Stevie snuck out of our houses and met at the corner of Fifth and Norton and put our heads together as to what we wanted to do, especially since all three of us weren't real fond of our gym teacher, Mr. Brock, who lived just a block away from where we were standing at that very moment.

"Hey!" said Joey. "Why don't we play a trick on Mr. Brock!" "Maybe we could play "ding-dong-ditch-it on him!"

Stevie, though, thought that he had a better idea. "Since it's Halloween, why don't we do something to really try to scare him?"

"Naw," I said. I have the most perfect idea of all, and you're gonna die laughing when you hear it!"

"So, what is it?" Said Joey and Stevie.

"Let's make some caramel onions and we can give them to Mr.Brock" I said.

Joey thought that would be a good idea, because Mr. Brock would be surprised by the caramel onions because he would have thought that they were really some sort of sweet delight! However, Stevie had a different idea and said, "Since it is Halloween, I really think that we should do something to scare Mr. Brock!"

Hmmm??? Just past midnight, the witching hour, and page 13 of this thread, (do do do do, do do do do, The Twighlight Zone) and yet the story goes unfinished...

Perhaps the boys got tired and decided to call it a night. Or, maybe Mr. Brock got wind of what they were up to because he is in reality a warlock and gazed into his crystal ball, saw and heard them, and then decided to turn all three boys into pumpkins!

No, the boys threw stones at Mr. Brock's bedroom window, woke him up, and shared their Halloween candy with him. The next morning Mr. Brock was too sick to go to school. Everyone cheered.

Maybe we should start a non-holiday story. How about this first sentence:

The lake froze early that winter, and Emily didn’t see Ivan until December.

OR

In a wind that almost knocked her over, Greta hunched over, wrapping her coat tightly around her, and stomped through the snow that was drifting at the bottom of the stairs that led into the church.

OR

Jacob, a member of the nomad gang, "Radiation Angels," tore down the highway on his chrome and obsidian Harley.

Non Holiday story sounds better, I didnt know much about those to take the story anywhere..

Clough · Oct 31, 2007, 10:12 PM

A non-holiday story thread would be good!

I have also thought about starting a "Write a Song" thread. Just one-liners in that and also some rhyming and rhythm going on.
