In the small in northern Kentucky the town square is where everyone gathered every halloween to dress in the scariest attire. This had been a tradition for many years and the town folk all participated. This year felt different, no one knew why but everyone was talking about it. Was it because there was a new family in town that know one really knew, was it because the weather was oddly warmer than in the past. No one really knew but it brought a heightened sense of scary to the town square.

No one moved, no one said a word, they just stood there and waited. After a few minutes everyone felt the wind begin the blow again and the town square lights started to flicker on and off, on and off, the man spoke and said the winner of the scariest attire contest is….. Just then the lights all came back on and there standing in the middle of the stage was a little boy dressed in a pumpkin costume. He wasn’t scary at all, he was absolutely adorable. He was the son of the family that everyone had been so afraid of. The town folk all began to chuckle and laugh wondering why they had been so afraid of the family. The man dressed all in black said to the town folk, Happy Halloween and thank you for allowing me and my family to participate in your town square festivities. The town marshall took the stage again and began to tell the town folk that even though the new family had only been there for a short time, he asked them to help with the festivities to bring a new sense of scary to the town square this year. However he did say that the lights going out on the town square was not a part of the plan, just then the lights flickered again and the town marshall adjourned the festivities and told everyone to have a safe
Halloween was not supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be more like when I was a kid. Houses would be decorated, jack-o-lanterns would be sitting near doors, and

I had been in the village for all but a week when I realized there was something... wrong. There seemed to be an underlying atmosphere of fear and animosity. Of course, with my wide-eyed, innocent thinking at the time, I assumed the presence of Satan had damaged the townspeople 's trust of one another. Again, I blissfully accepted this, and I was wrong.
Do you ever wonder what you would do if you were being chased by a zombie? Last October on the weekend before Halloween, I got to find out the answer to that very important question. My friends Ashley, Anna, Vikram, and I decided to go to the Great America Fright Fest. It’s a very unique event where the whole park is decorated for halloween and filled with lots of scary attractions for the entire month. It had been a sweltering day for late October filled with lots of cotton candy and rollercoasters, and as the sun sank lower into the sky the real fun began.
Halloween is the time of year that most people loved the idea of being scared beyond belief. But nowadays it’s harder to be genuinely scared because it seems like some people have become accustomed to most horrifying things that relate to Halloween due to the fact that it is the same every year. Nonetheless every year amusement parks use Halloween as a marketing scheme to get people and their friends to come to their horror nights, and spend money on ridiculous overpriced items, which all present the same things; clowns, clowns, chainsaws, and more clowns. Yes we can all agree that clowns are scary, but there has to come a time where the ones coming up with these “horror nights” step back and realize that what they are doing is no longer working anymore. But alas there is someone out there who knows what they’re doing, and it quite possibly could have to do with the fact that they are connected to the movie studio that did invent the horror film genre. But what makes Universal Studios Halloween Horror night so sinister? Universal Studios has a way where they take you out of reality and place you in a horror movie where you encounter many horror mazes, and also by the way they attack your senses in unexpected ways.

1.) It was the year 2014. Leaves were dying, falling off of trees and a chilly breezy was blowing through the cold night. But, monsters were roaming the streets, searching for candies and scares. The monsters, made up of many ghouls, ghosts, and killers, stumbled up to a rickety old shed, the rusty tools hanging above their heads.

Analysis of the Video Clip, “The Headless Horseman Helps Tourism” This ABC news clip explains how a small town thirty miles north of New York City originally named North Tarrytown changed their name to Sleepy Hollow to capitalize on Washington Irving’s scary tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Irving lived in and wrote about the area, and he is even buried in the local cemetery. After General Motors closed their assembly plant in 1996, the city officials elected to establish the community’s identity based on the iconic symbol of the headless horseman to boost its economy by taking advantage of the large amount of retail spending during Halloween. The village draws in over 100,000 visitors by offering haunted hayrides, spooky cemetery tours,
The living room was dark and the only thing you could see was the brightness of the TV. Also, I could still hear many people talking from down stairs, fire truck siren going off, and the city lights that were still shining bright. At the age of seven, on a cold Friday night in Brooklyn; my mom, cousin, and I started watching some scary movies since it was around Halloween. There was this movie called “Child’s Play” and as a child, I didn’t like the movie at all due to the fact that there was an ugly doll that was moving and killing people. During, that weekend it was showing marathons all weekend long since it was the Halloween weekend. The bed was pulled out with all the warm blankets and snacks besides us waiting for the move to start.

They also stop at an old bully’s house and break into SeaWorld.
“Is there anything you know that you would like me to tell the town” she said. “The girl that sits in the dark alley during the day is the one that killed me,” I immediately responded. “Alright, I’ll make sure I inform the town of your information,” she replied. Afterwards, the figured disappeared into the sky, and I continued to wonder how the town members would respond to this information. Maybe they wouldn’t believe the mysterious woman, or maybe they would have her put on trial for witchcraft.
