On the devilish night of Halloween, I walked the streets alone. In my skeleton costume, I felt chilled to the bone. No one was anywhere, it was as everyone had disappeared. I walked from house to house, but no one answered the door. It was as if the whole town had disappeared. As I walked I screeched to a halt. Because in front of me, was a Haunted House. I heard a moan, which sounded like it was from the house itself. Then there was a flash of lightning, and I saw through the windown, I looked as if the house was staring at me, watching me. Through the window I saw something strange. It looked like a human, wearing a cloak, but what was scary was that it was holding a scythe. But the moment I blinked, that exact moment I blinked it disappeared, then I heared a strange sound from behind me, kind of like a gurgling sound. It was now behind me.... When I turned around, I saw its true face, it was a skull! But it had a deadly smirk on its face, it lifted up its scythe, which shone in the light, the slight came down so swiftly, and then I fainted...

When I came too, I was in a strange, dark building. It was really quiet I thought, too quiet. It looked as if I was in a really old building judging by what the building looked like from inside. I saw a window, and went to it. As I looked out, I chill ran down my spine. I WAS IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE! When I turned around, I saw him, he was at the door. Memories flashed back, stories I had read. I was looking at the Grim Reapor (Check Spelling Please xD). "Why have you brought me here?" I yelled at the being. Again it made that same sound it made when it came up behind. Then, it disappeared again. How does he do that? I thought. I looked around, there were pictures everywhere. People being tortured everywhere! Some people without heads, arms, legs! Then there was a picture of him. A picture of him get the skin, peeled of his body, Ewwww... I thought. I turned around and he was standing there again. "You have learned too much!'' It said. I felt it hit me in the head. I was knocked out. When I woke up again, I saw a mirror, when I looked in I saw it looking back at me. Where's my reflection? I thought. When I looked back I saw a bunch of bone scattered. And some peeled skin. He has turned me into him...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

*laughs silently*
“What the hell is this supposes to be some kind of joke?” I thought.
“What could I possibly lose but time *thinks* I don’t have anything to do on Halloween night I might just go and check it out and hahaha look at that address already trying to scare me with the triple 6’s,”

I arrived at the doors of a modern looking home nothing special about it. It looked as if the house was still being used you could peek through the cracks and see the lights shining. Besides being so old the home looked stable. The lights close by flickered as I stood in front of the house, looking around, I wondered why this was the only home around this area. It was 12:00 AM sharp and the clock tower near by rung in a deep tone diiinng….. diiiiing. Simultaneously the front door of the home creaked open.
I curiously peeked inside to see the living room of any home an old TV it appeared to play only black and white, a coach, strange pictures hanging around, and a rectangular table disappointed I walked in that’s when *BAMM* the door was closed shut. I went straight for the door knob to find out it was locked and it was impossible to open. I calmed myself down convincing myself that this happens in all those scary stories and it has to be part of the act.

I walked over to the table in front of the TV to find the words “Make yourself at home” carved sloppily on the surface of the wooden table and a knife stabbed into the edge. I pulled the knife out and saw the chipped out mark of the wooden table. The black mark began to flow into the table like ink and spelt out enjoy your stay as long as possible you won’t make it out alive.

Scared and shocked, I sat down and turned on the T.V. all the channels were out of service the more channels I switched the louder the buzzing sound would get. Before I knew it the sound began to pierce my ears it screeched loudly and I went down on my knees and grabbed my ears in pain it finally came to an end I looked at my hands and it was a mess with blood and my ears were throbbing in pain and I noticed my ears bled from the flesh ripping screech.
I ran for the bathroom, scared, finally realizing this wasn’t just a joke, my life was on the line. Now realizing I was fighting time, I quickly cleaned my hands off and dashed towards the living room and the front door, but it had disappeared it was a blank space just another wall, my next thought were the windows I sprinted and opened it up to see bricks piled to the top. My heart was thudding hard against my chess, my cheeks were hot, and eyes wide filled with fear I dropped down back against the wall with butterflies in my stomach and thoughts of death running through my mind.

With shaky legs I got up I couldn’t focus my mind was racing with thoughts, that’s when I finally realized *click click click* the sounds of water droplets thudding. The water fell through the ceiling and dropped onto the floor. I didn’t want to move from where I stood, but I was curious enough to find out. I went upstairs and opened the bathroom door and the entire door flung open and water poured out I struggled to shut the door, but finally I got it to close and again I dropped on the floor back against the bathroom door. I stared off into the stairs, it looked as if I was staring off into a desert a bending feature. I got up to take a better look puzzled I walked towards the stairs to find out the steps were melting, disolving away. I backed up and panicked I knew I had to jump, I took caution as I leaped off the second floor and landed hard onto the table it broke split in half and pieces of the wood sprung into the air.

I coughed up blood violently and threw myself next to the broken table wood and stared at the ceiling I began to blank out things got brighter and brighter and it seemed as if I passed out. There was an eerie feeling, I had a floating sensation in a pitch dark space I didn’t know where I was and thought I had died. As I float motionlessly mirrors rose from the bottom of the dark space and a slow piano melody played. I glanced into the mirrors and instead of a reflection it showed the pasts of all the people that dare to come into this home. Bloody endings were played my eyes were scarred of death and suicide. Along with the melody playing bloody screams and cries for help were screeched. Everything just rushed into my head and it all poured into my eyes simultaneously flashing my sight got blurry all the mirrors cracked and broke into tiny millions of pieces and scattered around I lost conscience.

I awoke lying on the floor I was light headed I had no idea where I was I slowly rose to my feet and tried to balance myself. I opened my eyes to see I was back inside the house it looked as if nothing had happened, but I couldn’t comprehend what was going on things looked back to normal, but my ears were still throbbing my back ached and blood was stained onto my cloths. I turned around and stared at the wall puzzled that’s when I saw the wall getting carved into words it spelt out…
“You won’t make it out alive, you will die slowly dying a different death every time, enjoy your stay!”

Nothing is what it seems..."

back then on the 80's... in a small, but happy town called RockHill, where nothing bad happened ever... where all town people knew each other, where the happyness and peace reigned, and everyone cared about each other and not just about themselves... everything was perfect!!, better than perfect... until... one night, one stormy night,( yeah thats right, october 31 ) as you know, nothing in this world is perfect... so this wasn't the exeption.
[the next script, was found besides the mutilated corpse of a guy called Nathan 16 years old]

Chapter 1. Everything Perfect (:

"Hello, my name is Nathan, and i live in a town called RockHill, im 16 years old, and i live with my 2 sisters, and my parents... i think i could'nt be happier, since i arrived this town 9 years ago, everything has been perfect, the joy is everywhere, everyone help each other, theres doesnt existe that green paper called " Money" on this town, we are like a family... a 313 people family... we knew everyone's name; it was like there was always someone at your side to help you out with Anything, ANYTHING. it almost seemed like magic.

theres no gobernment in his town, no need for power, no need for money, no need to pretend. no suicides, no murders, no crimes, no weapons, no drugs or alcohol.
nothing bad at all... now u say "it is weird... HOW!!" well... "

Chapter 2. Something is Wrong... i know it.

"So, as i said, since i arrived the town, everything has been perfect... but theres was one day every year, that things didnt go out well... 31 october... at simple sight you dont notice... but if you look closer the town... look ugly, and also the population. become selfish... and they even capable to... KILL if necesary, but after this day, everything comes to normal, as nothing happened, people Killed that day, dissapear as if never existed... and everyone refuse to knew them even my parents, so i was the only one that was realizing this??"

Chapter 3. WTF!! i cannot run away ...

"In the 9 years i have lived in this town, me and family never going to vacations or something, and now that i realize... i never had summer vacations!! so what the hell is going on!!. One afternoon, i decided to skip school and go to investigate to the outskirts of the town, so... i walked for about 2 hours on straight line, and when i turned back... i was SHOCKED, i even peed my pants... i was in the edge of the town!! like if walked nothing!!... i was scared as hell... but i managed to run to my house, and go to sleep... i couldn't really sleep knowing that the next day was 31 october, mostly called... HALLOWEEN."

Chapter 4. The Dream

"That Night, i couldn't sleep... but i had too, knowing what was coming the next day, i wouldn't survive if i was sleepy... so i fell asleep... and i had a dream, there was a guy in the middle of the town... sitting on a wodden chair, turning his back on me, and i said "excuse me Sir" and he turned the whole head, as his neck was broken and told me... "you are Dead kid, no one try to escape from me" and smiled, then his head fell off.

Chapter 5. I hate this town! THE HELL! O_O

The next morning when i woke up it was halloween, i knew i had to be carefull with people, i walked toward the kitchen, and asked my mother to give me my breakfast, she didnt listen to me, didnt even say hi, she just ignored me, then i went to sit to the table, and all of a sudden, she atacked me with an axe, i didnt see it come... but... i was hell lucky, she missed, because she barely could carry it, so i ran away from my house, shocked, but when i was a few blocks away, i found that guy on my dreams, and he told me... "u know... this isnt a common happy town... this isnt even on earth... u know what this place is?!?!? "THIS IS THE HELL AND IM THE DEVIL ITSELF". ill explain you everything, before i torture and kill you slowly... a long time ago, a guy named Raegan was horrorized about the violence on the world, so he summoned me, and made a deal with me, give him a perfect town where everyone cared about each other... but the other part of the deal was... it had to be in the hell, and every halloween i would be able to come in and do whatever i wanted, also when 2000 years have passed, my domain would extend all over the world, but they wont be so happy. today is halloween, and i'm taking your soul after tearing apart you body, to the hell, where you will scream desperate for mercy, and bleed for all eternity... you will wish to never be born... " so he threw summoned demons from the nowhere, and they nailed me to the floor, so some hell big dogs came out of the nowhere, and started eating my legs and arms... it took around 3 hours, i was in such pain i would have passed out, if the god damn devil didnt have a curse on me... i was lying there on the floor with my arms and legs missing, so... next, he brought my sisters to the same room i was... and he said " i know how much you care about them..." and he shoot one in the head, and i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!, so he said.. " it hurts??" and he threw the other one to a cauldron full with boiling water... i couldn't watch it anymore, but wat could i do??!. next he left, and left me there... dying... with my last forces, i managed to get my sister out of the boiling water, she was dying too, i asked her, to write down every single word... so we could warn the world about this... the Devil came back, and set up a grenade inside my body, it exploded and all my entrains where scattered all over the place... that was my end... BEWAREE of HALLOWEEN!!

Ends.
