I am wondering why it is not for trick-or-treaters but for you? :confused:

I have a corny one to add...

Why did the witch's mail rattle?

She got a chain letter



Hahahahahahahaha... I told you it was corny :)

Corny is great!

Any other takers here?

What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman?
Frostbite...

Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers?
No, they eat the fingers separately...

Why do you always see ghouls with demons?


Because demons are a ghoul's best friend!

I always wondered how frostbite came to be! :)

Halloween's just around the corner and I am looking for people who want to get silly and creative here who would join with me in writing a Halloween story as part of this thread. Any takers? I need to know if there's at least a few people who would be willing to participate before I begin. Thank you! :)

I've had no encounters with RM. I used to do home visits for counseling along one side of the cemetery, but it was during the day, so no Mary. Hmmmm. One of my clients in that area was named Mary. Hmmmm.

Another librarian and I went to a haunted bar-restaurant one Friday the 13th, but nothing happened while we were there. We drank Black Russians and ate cheeseburgers. The evening wore on. We switched to gin and tonics and then tried the beer on tap. I don't remember anything happening. I don't remember the name of the other librarian either.

(Just kidding, folks!!)

Here's the bar and its story --

I have been there many times Wonder, yes I have heard many things first hand concerning strange things that have happened and supposedly still do. One is that there is a satanic circle in the concrete in the basement. The old owners try to deny much of the happenings but will say that "things move without anyone being near them, I have seen it happen." The place has great burgers.:eek:

Sign in a funeral home.. "you may not like flowers, but they will grow on you."

For the story, you will need a gimmick. When I taught creative writing, I wrote the first sentence. The next writer wrote only one sentence. And so on. There are many variations on this such as using the alphabet somehow.

Hey, you must be sleep-walking. You're still supposed to be over on the Imrove thread! I was going to use this as part of your training in improvisation. The one-line thing is exactly what I had in mind. There are just a couple of guidelines that I wanted people to follow.

I'M on the Improv thread, but you don't seem to be. You are spreading yourself too thin, methinks.

State your guidelines please.

Probably so. Do you think that I should start anyway? :)

I was also hoping that this would be a way to get certain you-know-whos to think about something different for a change rather than the same old, same old...

Yes, I understand.

Let's begin. Start a new thread. First explain, then in a second post begin the story with one sentence. Please commence.

Maybe even have several story threads going--silly, spooky, bloody, etc.

Okay, I will. But, I did want one to be a part of this thread also. It could work. Let me check out your other response to our "Improv" that we have going though.

I am in... for the story!

Wow! With firmbeliever as part of this effort, it might just work out! Firmbeliever is cool! I should email some of the regulars.
